Ir seems to be generally agreed that the liqui dation of the greatest financial society of France, the Credit Mobilier, is inevitable. Although the Bank of France have granted their assistance, and some other wealthy companies are ready to help, in both cases within certain limits, the negotia lions do not proceed smoothly. Some hitch or other is constantly taking place, and, worse than all, is openly discussed, not only in financial circles, but in the press. Publicity of this sort is almost invariably fatal to a banking or financial institution, which necessarily lives by its credit. Zven when names are not mentioned, and the difficulties of a great house are referred to in a carefully guarded manner, there is at all times the danger of precipitating a stoppage. An announce ment of this kind at once provokes inquiry, and the discovery is soon made to whom it relates. Where aid is promptly given the peril may even then be averted, but the delay of a single day will often make the difference between safety and ruin. Those who remember the events of 1857 will call to mind a notable instance, in which not only the mercantile community were at that time deeply interested, but, as it proved eventually, the poorer classes also. The Credit Mobilier have experienced the double disadvantage of having both their difficulties talked about, and also fur a whole fortnight their unsuccessful attempts to over come them. Matters have even gone so far that shit of the securities held by the company has peen published by a portion of the Paris journals. Admitting that this document may be unauthentic and incomplete, its effect upon the public mind could not fail to be unfavourable, especially since there can be no question that it conveys, if not the whole, at least a great portion of the truth. At first sight a more unpromising list of assets has rarely appeared even in the accounts of our worst managed companies. Whether for the present they can be realised at all seems doubtful, but in the case of a sale being effected a loss is esti mated to accrue varying from 1,500,0001. to more than double the amount. There is probably, how ever, some exaggeration in the figures given. It cannot be denied that the collapse of the Credit Mobilier would be severely felt throughout France. We have already adverted to the im pulse that has been given by this association to the industrial activity of that country, and in proportion to the benefit already gained by its pre vious successes, so will be the harm caused by its present failure. In one respect also the event would happen at an unlucky moment. Trade and enterprise are unusually stagnant in all parts of the world. Here it is the function of the Govern. ment to leave these questions to right themselves. If pe•,ple choose to be timid and distrustful, there is no help for it but to wait until they recover their confidence. Abroad the Government is ex pected to interfere. As we mentioned last week, in France a preliminary inquiry has been insti tuted by M. ROEMER for the express purpose of devising measures to remove the present state of distrust and uneasiness. Whatever results may bare been arrived at, it is not unlikely that the whole calculation will be upset by the inability of the Credit Mobilier to get satisfactorily over its difficulties. The great object of the French Government is to reawaken the spirit of indus trial enterprise, and to induce the small capitalists of France to embark once more in extensive works of public utility. Ministerial assurances are not likely to be wanting of a highly encourag ing nature both on political and financial grounds. Able as they may be, we question if they will turn out of much practical use. Against them stands the hard naked fact that the great company which, from nearly the conuuencement of the Empire, has been identified with the successful establishment of new canals, railways, and a host of other projects, commercial, industrial, and financial, has at last come to trouble. The de duction is sure to be drawn that money is safer locked up at home than deposited in these risky undertakings. The Government are evidently well aware of this feeling, and hence may be attri buted the pressure put upon the Bank of France to afford the Credit Mobilier the utmost help possible, even at the hazard of violating its own statutes. A comparison has been drawn between Overend, Gurney, and Co. in London and the Credit Mobi lier in Paris. In one respect only the parallel holds good, that of each company being the lead ing monetary institution of the day in their respective cities. In other points they differ. The management of the Credit THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, Mobilier has been admittedly faulty. The funds of the company have been locked up in securities that it is impossible to realise without considerable delay, and many investments have been made which will probably be of value in the future, but aro now worth comparatively little or nothing. There must have been both over-specu lation and imprudence, especially as regards the works undertaken in Spain. Still there is some thing to be said with regard to the latter country. Some years ago it seemed as if Spain had fairly emerged from the old chaos of chronic revolution mid financial misery into which she has unhappily again fallen. If better times supervene, the Credit Mobilier may yet find their Spanish ven tures more profitable than even originally antici pated. The same may be said of many other of their securities. If the company have from any cause parted with their money too readily, they have at least something to show for it. Houses, canals, and railways may for the time be unremu• nerative, but they nevertheless represent a solid tangible property, the value of which cannot be extinguished as easily as a dis honoured bill. Herein lies the distinction between the directors of the Credit Mobilier and those of Overend, Gurney, and Co. The latter took over as a good asset a quantity of commercial paper which it was hopeless to expect could ever be worth anything. They likewise, we regret to say, concealed the fact from their intending shareholders —a point upon which it is unnecessary to remark, since it has received strong condemnation from the highest judicial authority. The lost capital of 1,500,0001., without counting the call that is now being enforced (from which the shareholders will be fortunate if they get any appreciable return even at a most distant period), is represented by 'overdue hills, the greater part good for nothing; the remainder of infinitesimal and problematical value. It must be a matter of some surprise that the commercial classes in France are so little affected by the difficulties of the Credit Mobilior. As far, however, as merchants are concerned, the affair could hardly have happened at a moment when they were better able to meet it. Their out standing engagements are few, money is over abundant, and the rates of discount scarcely higher in Paris than in London. In May, 1866, levents might have turned out differently, although even then some adverse rumours'which were afloat, both in France and on the Continent generally, created little effect. The reason of this apparent apathy is that French traders know perfectly well that the Government will not allow credit to be imperilled by the stoppage of any establishment, however large. If by any moans they can assist trade in critical times, they will not scruple to do it, no matter what means it may be necessary to adopt for that purpose. Our Government proceed more cautiously, and thus, without intending it, often contrive to sacrifice public interests to a worthless theory. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) ITALIAN' AITAIR3.-GARIBALI,I AND ROME. If both M. Itattazzi and Garibaldi are as good as their word, we may look, the Times reminds us, for some sorrowful catastrophe before the present month comes to its close. Garibaldi is pledged to go to Rome on the first cooling of the weather. For the last three months he has been possessed by 016 thought, he has given utterance to but one word—" He must go to Rome." And M. Rattaui is pledged to prevent him. Garibaldi himself has pro. claimed that he goes to Rome not hoping to conquer, but determined to die. Italy, he thinks, can only be redeemed by sacrifice. It was the martyrdom of the Bendier& and and Piaacane that brought Garibaldi to Naples as an avenger. Let Garibaldi's blood flow in its turn, it will equally work out the deliverance of Rome. His chances of success can lie only in the defection either of the Papal or of the royal troops. A word from the Emperor Napoleon would smooth all the ground before him. Without a tacit or explicit permission of this kind, the hero of Marsala has no chance of ousting the Pope ; and it seems probable that the Emperor is so thoroughly convinced of the approaching natural death of the papacy that he will allow nothing to disturb it. Sketching the acts of the Italian parliament, the Daily News selects for special remark the bill which is now in operation for the secularisation and sale of the church property. By this measure all ecclesiastical corporations bemire creatures of the state's bounty or sufferance, all mooastio establishments are dissolved, the monastic habit forbidden, the regular absorbed into the secular clergy, and both treated as salaried servants or pensioners of the Ministry of Public Worship. As a financial °pert , . tion, the machinery fur the secularisation of the church lands is being put in motion by Signor Rattaui with extraordinary success, justifying that minister's confidence in the capacity of his countrymen to become thepurchasers of the expropriated lands without the intervention of foreign capitalists. The competition is as sharp as if the lots were thousands of English acres, and the purchasers English millionaires But, after all, even when 20,000,0001. sterling worth of the church lands have been paid for, Italy will still be living on her cApind, and not on her income, so long u her government hesitates or neglects to lay the axe to the root of a ruinous administration. The Post says Garibaldi is playing the game of reckless agitators, and that the stake involves the fortune of Italy. The way he would take is inaccessible, and in re tiring from it he would once more, and most effectively, serve his country. The Telegraph thinks that if Garibaldi should perse vere his prospect is gloomy in the extreme. Painful as the tuk of attacking him may be, it believes that even in Italy public opinion will support the authorities. THE MANCHESTER COMMISSION ANI , THE URICKMAKING TRADZ. The Time+ regards it as now proved, by the evidence taken by the Manchester Commission, that the whole trade of the district, in all its details, is subject to the ab solute dictation of the unions. The union, and the union alone, decides by whom the bricks are to be made, how they are to be made, and even where they are to be used. The trade is subject to the control of an absolute de spotism, the decrees of which are enforced by violence. Those who wonder at the want of resolution in the masters should recollect the ferocity and cruelty by which the unions enforce their laws, which are even more conspicuous at Manchester than at Sheffield. The Times asks what working teen generally have to say to these revelations. The Manchester workmen declare that the masters shall not sell, nor the public boy, except just as they choose to dictate. Which side will the work ing men in general take in such a dispute—that of freedom, or that of the despotism of their own class! The issue before us is daily narrowing, and the unions will soon have to declare themselves. Quoting some of the worst cases elicited by the commis sion, the Standard says—" The n.en who promote such conduct should not be sheltered under the euphonious title of nnioniets. They are sanguinary bandits. We begin to agree with Mr. Forster. We are sick of confessions wrung from criminals by promises of pardon. It is too late to hang Broodhesul and Crooke', but we should much like to catch some other felon red-handed, and make this wide spread community of Thugs comprehend that the public conscience has nut yet grown too sensitive to swing scoun drels out of the world." • voice in parliament, bat for power over legiel• tion. To specialise their representation would put them in the position which the class which is man afraid of them desires that they should occupy. Bet if, ou the contrary, the working dames take their place in the ranks of political parties, they may affect the whole policy of dose parties, and the whole liberal school may be placed ►t their service so far as their special require ments and opinions harmonise with the universal welfare. Instead of • voice to plead for them in the pre sence of power, they would have a share in that power Itself. We do not want more class representation, but the merging of all such distinctions in a national party of pro grams'. Chr Court. BALMORAL, Sam SO.

Despatches ware received on Saturday at the Colonial office from the Governors of Bermuda, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland. Despatches were sent to the Governor of the Bahamas and to the Governor-General of Canada. The Marquis and Marchioness of Queensberry and the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings closed their visit to the Duke and Ducheu of Rozburghe at Floors Castle, on Thursday, to join the company assembled at Eglinton Castle, at the invitation of the Earl and Countess of Eglinton, for the western meeting at Ayr. - - The Earl and Countess of Russell and Lady Agatha Russell have left Beuborcugh House, where they had been staying several days, for Thomastown Castle, on a visit to Count sad Countess de Jarnac. Lady Molesworth is on a tour of visits in Scot land. Her Ladyship will pass through town in the middle of October, en route for Pencsuros, Cornwall. Mr. W. E. Forster, DL P., left England last week for a short tour to Constantinople and Asia Minor. The funeral of ex-Lord Chancellor Blackburn() was celebrated on Saturday. The remains were removed from Rathfarnham Castle, and interred in Mount Jerome Cemetery. A very large cortrge, extending half a mile, followed the hearse. The chief mourners were Messrs. William Blackburne, Edward Blackburn, John Black burne, and T. R. Henn. In the second coach were Messrs. Frank Henn, F. Daniels, F. Martley, and Richard Webb. In the third were Messrs. John Webb, Francis Webb Thomas Hopkins, and William Martley; and the fourth coach was occupied by the domestic servants. Mr. Benjamin Webster reminds his critics that to have placed Romeo and Juliet on the stage with entire new sanely and dresses for the three nights in which Miss Kate Terry appeared in it would have been a dead loss, which be must have been " brainless" to have in curred. The Adelphi is now closed, it seem, for the par. pose of renovation, and this fact Mr. Webster thinks is an answer to those who have attacked him, because at the close of his season, proverbially the longest theatrical season in London, his benches h►ve become soiled. Replying in the Times to a letter of Mr. John Hardy, M.P., Mr. T. Robinson, whose servant was SA saulted by Mr. Hardy, flatly denies that he has ever an noyed Mr. Hardy or received any complaint whatever from him. But between 1860 and 18(4, he nays, there was some difference between Mr. Hardy and Mr. Robinson, see. " Knowing," writes Mr. Robinson, "as I and others who have the misfortune to have Mr. Hardy for a neighbour do, too well his tenacious and quarrelsome disposition on the subject of game, I have always been moat careful myself and have given my men the strictest orders to avoid giving him the slightest cause of offence." Mr. Alfred Barry challenges Mr. E. W. Pugin to bring his charges before an impartial tribunal, such as the Council of the Institute of British Architects. The Times refuses to insert any more letters on the subject, The meetings of the Social Science Association were continued at Belfast on Friday and Saturday. Dr. Andrews, Vice-President of the Queen's College, Belfast, delivered an address on the subject of education. He con cluded an historical retrospect by expressing his dissent from the compulsory system of Northern Germany, and by contending that the National Board had accomplished a great work in Ireland. The opinion which Lord Duf ferin expressed with reference to the expediency of smut rating the church from the state in Ireland had, as we stated on Saturday, the effect of inducing Sir Thomas Bataan, one of the vice-presidents of the association, to resign that office. His lordship defended his right to express his sentiments on the Irish church, and pointed out that in doing so he compromised no one else. Many interesting papers on education, international law, and other importimt subjects were read. On Saturday, at Kingstown, large government placard., headed " Wilful Murder," were posted, setting forth the particulars of the Manchester nature, and the rewards for the apprehension of the ringleaders. Concluding a sketch of the career of Sir Robert Napier, the Times observes :—" Thum each step of pro motion to his present place has been well and hardly won. The popularity with which Sir Robert Napier is regarded in the army ham steadily increased with his reputation. A splendid horseman—good horsemanship and great power of bodily endurance are valuable gifts in a general—he has won the hearts of the traops under his command by his love of justice and his kindly sympathy and consideration for the soldier, while every member who has ever been on his staff during active service will be ready to offer a tri bute of affectionate admiration for his gallantry and AUL If wise selection of a fit general can insure success, the Abyssinian expedition will not be a failure." An account has been received of a melancholy accident at Killarney, by which an English gentleman has lost his life and another has been severely injured. They were driving in a car near kluckroas, when the branch of a tree which was being cut down fell on the car on which they sat, killing one of them on the spot and inflicting serious injury on the other. Information has been received of the intended release from prison of Augusta Ann Mitchell. A tempo rary home has been provided for her through the kindness of Mr. E. W. Thomas, the secretary of the London Female Reformatory Institution. The Rev. W. Richardson, the clergyman of Miles Platting, the parish in which Sergeant Brett, the murdered policeman, lived, asks for contributions for the widow and children. The rev. gentleman gives the de ceased the best of characters. He had frequently been desired by his friends to retire on his pension (he was 52 years of age and had been about 21 years in the service), but always refused on the ground of duty. It is to be re membered that a sense of duty—his refusal to give up the keys of the police van—cost the poor fellow his life. A week or two ago an advertisement appeared in the Vienna journals announcing that • young lady was de sirous of forming a matrimonial alliance with a man of good fortune. She had, she acknowledged, nothing at all ; but then she was beautiful, accomplished, and of cheerful, amiable disposition. Another now appears, in. imitable in its beautiful simplicity :—" A lady, belonging to the higher nobility, who has lately become a widow, and who, since her husband's death, has been deprived by un fortunate events and by confiding trust of • fortune once considerable, wishes to make the acquaintance of • rich gentleman with whom, when united, she would be enabled to satisfy those claims on life which she formerly enjoyed." One of the last official acts of General Sickles was to name a well known negro, Beverly Nash, to be • police magistrate in Columbia, South Carolina. Some of the Paris papers mention a report that several French officers belonging, or who have belonged, to the army of Africa are to be attached to the Abyssinian expedition. It is announced that Dr. Nelaton has resigned his profeaaorahip at the Faculty of Medicine oa amount of bad health. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE ROMAN QUESTION. The Italian journals speak of a meeting of Geri bal(han officers at Florence, at which an insurrec tionary movement at Rome was spoken of as certain immediately the Garibalclians reached the frontier, and say it was decided that the enterprise on their part should be entered upon as soon as possible, the exact date and means being kept at present a secret. We have also a report of a meeting between Rattazzi and Garibaldi. The latter told the minis ter that as the; Italian government was fettered by the September Convention the Roman question must be settled by volunteers. The minister de dared to the general that the government were re solved to prevent the passage of the frontier at any cost ; when Garibaldi replied with warmth that any compromise with Rome was worse than absurd, that the expedition of which he was the representative had no object against the flag saluted by the whole of Italy, and that all that was desired was to plant that flag in the capitol. Letters from Bologna speak of great agitation in the barracks, and of the despatch of fresh sol diers to the Pontifical frontiers. Thu ltaliau Gazette affirms that the Italian government has received from the representatives of England and Prussia an assurance of the strong disapproval which is felt by those powers of any project against Rome. (azirna's TELNARAII.) ITALY. FLORENCE, Seer. 22, Erzmixo. Several members of the Left had a meeting this morning to discuss the present political situation, and another meeting will be held to-morrow. The Florence Gazette says that a telegram has been received stating that the official declaration published yesterday on tthe Roman question had everywhere been favourably received. The Opinione announces that the pontifical government has retired from the province of Frosinone. Nearly all the papal troops are con centrated at Rome. 1 FPNEDOM OF DISCUSSION IN FRANCE. LETTER FROM GEORGE SAND. 4 Madame George Semi in the preface to a romance which she is now pu ,ln the Rowe des Deux Monda, under the title ell. u :Gadio," relates an episode of the days of the June insurrection, which has created a good deal of talk at Paris. The passage in question was repro duced by some journals and commented upon by others. Amongst the latter are the Nisi,' Jaunt and the Soled, and a government prosecution has corn 'fleeced against them. On this subject Madame Sand writes to the Liberte of to-day as follows: " I bear with the greatest surprise that some journalists are threatened with actions for having extracted a fragment from the preface to the romance of " Csdio,'' of which I am the author. If this passage is dangerous, which I do not believe, why are those who have quoted it more blameable than she who wrote it? Will it be said that in relating an historical fact hitherto untold, there is any wish to revive slumbering hatreds? In reading the whole of the preface, and the whole of the romance of " Cadio," it is easy to see that the object of the work is diametrically opposed to inch an intention ; that the author is, as it were. withdrawn from her work in order to let history speak, and history proves that the holiest causes are often lost when men are carried away by the delirium of vengeance. If horror of cruelty, from whatever side, has ever pained and troubled a human soul, I may say that the romance of " Cadio" is rent from that wounded spirit, and that the author, to preserve her faith, has had to struggle ' against the terrible spectre of the put. It is impossible to study certain epochs and to visit the spots where certain atrocious scenes took place, without being tempted to pro scribe the spirit of contest and to aspire for peace at any price. But "peace at any price" is a delusion ; and what is gained by cowardice is but a ferocious destruction which refuses even the miserable I enefit of a linger ' ing death. It is not, then, by the sacrifice of human dignity that one will ever be enabled to secure rest ; it is by free discussion, and by that alone, that men can be fitted to en gage in social struggles without feeling a horrible wish to cut each other's throats. Let discussion be really esta blished in order that it "may become impartial. Every stilling of thought, every effort to suppress truth, will raise storms, and the storms will sooner or later sweepaway those who provoke them. Shall it be said that we must not seek in a too-recent past the teachings of history' Where then, shall we find them better adapted to the need we have of profiting by them? Is it the Greeks and the Romans who will reveal to us the dangers and hope s of our future? Their historic course and the philosophic idea of their destiny are not applicable to us; and, more over, it is always in the experience of hi. own life that man finds power to conquer himself or to develop himself. Why should a government that sprung from our most re cent struggles, the revolutions of 1789 and 1848, take part for or against the actors in • drama in two parts, both of which have been profitable to it? And then, beware of prosecutions against history ; for in wishing to hinder what she might do, you would do it yourselves with a publicity, an idol, and • noise which we have not ad our command. No one can cherish a hope of suppressing the put. God himself would not be able to undo it. What purpose was served by the desperate prosecutions of the restoration against you, gentlemen, who are now in power? They did you the service of making you victims, and leading to you the liberalism of that epoch. islake,*then, no victims, unless you wish not to turn us into friends. Leave history to create itself by means of discussions and teaching. by polemics and literature ; thus only will she unfold herself with the calm which you prescribe. Do not compel her to be unuttered save when supported by her terrible armoury of proofs. There would be too much of this, and you would yourselves be terrified at the docu ments which the present has placed in reserve for the future. History would make itself too quickly, and we are the first to wish that it may come at its own time, like every serious addition to human knowledge. s. it 1 WI o•o-osso. , T A MIta Leith U , W.

The Roman oOmerratore regards the discomfiture of the Peace Congress at Geneva as a new glory for the papacy, and informs its readers that even in London2oo,ooo catholics rose up at once with the cry of " Viva Pio 1X.," and drove away those who sought to insult the head of the church. " London and Geneva," lays the Roman journal, " no longer belong to Henry and Calvin. We may now say, without any exaggeration, that they belong to l'ius IX., and that oven there the successors of the impure king and the lewd priest abandon the field to the successors of the Fisherman of Galilee. Thus the city of Peter, the city of Henry, and the city of Calvin have bowed at the same time to the papacy. What triumph could be more splendid for the church and the papacy ? oi, yes ; let us rejoice and thank with our whole hearts the Providence of God who allows us to assist at similar victories of His church and His vicar on earth." According to the A remit* Natiouo I, the settlement of the affsirs of the late BlAcimilian has led to unpleasant disputes between the Austrian and Belgian royal families, and even a pron's between them is regarded as probable.

Three of the Spanish refugees write to the Si; err to deny that the late meeting of their number which WWI held at Paris was intended to impugn the conduct of General Prim.

Tomi.tms. —The intelli gence of the decease of this well-known journalist, who, after a short illness. expired on Saturday night, in his sixty-third year, will be received in those literary circles where ho was so widely known and so greatly esteemed with a profound feeling of regret. Mr. Frederick Guest Tomlin', who bad for nearly half a century been inti mately connected with the newspaper and periodical press, was a gentlemen of high attainments, especially versed in the older dramatic literature of this country, and of • vivacity of temperament that rendered his company eagerly sought by those who had the privilege of his acquaintance. He was for many years the secretary of the Shakspeare Society, and at the time of hie death he held the clerkship of the Painter-Stainers' Company, Little Trinity-lane, an office which members of his family had honourably filled for more th an • oenturz._ THE TICK/101M BARONETCY.—The Australian claimant to the title and estates of the Tichborne baresetage last week arrived at Alresford, and was re ceived with bellringing from the tower of the whit church. He has Enos been the guest of Mr. W. W. Bub pett, a county magistrate and Winchester banker, at his residence at Airesford, and has joined in many shooting parties wish the neighbouring gentry.

WORKING CLASR REPRESENTATIVE& The Daily News would be sorry to discourage any wisely directed effort to return working men to parliament, but considers that there are no special advantages to weigh against the drawbacks. As a rule such men would be likely to form at once a special class in parliament, and on general questions would exert neither authority nor power. The scheme would gratify a certain school of aristocratic liberalism which has no idea of giving the working men power but only representation, but the working classes have asked, not merely for EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE BISHOP OF ORLEANS AND GARIBALDI. Mom °on owi COMBPONDiNT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. _ _ The indefatigable Bishop of Orleans, who has just promised to write a series of essays against Voltaire, apropos of the new popular edition of his works now publishing by the Miele, and of the atatue for which the tii,!cle is collecting public subscriptions, has found time to indite a letter, seven columns long, to M. Rattazzi, exhorting him, but evidently with small expectation that the exhortations will be listened to, to put a atop to Garibaldi's movement against Rome. Not the 40,000 soldiers, under General Nunziante, whose real mission the bishop suspects is rather to follow Garibaldi to Rome than to prevent him from going thither, but a single policeman, to take Garibaldi by the collar of his red shirt and throw him neck and heels into a lock-up house, is what the bishop demands. Monsigneur strives to enlist all the sovereigns of the earth on the aide of the temporal power by assuring them that those who want to dethrone the " King" of Rome are sworn enemies of all kings whomsoever. He assumes quite contrary to fact that everybody who attended the miscalled Peace Congress of Geneva wants to depose by force the King of Italy, the Emperor of the French, and the Emperor of Russia. Garibaldi is but one barrel of a twenty-gun infernal machine, which is to do the work of an " international league of de thronement." The bishop, who chooses perhaps for this occasion only to speak civilly to M. Rat tazzi, though reminding him that he is a pupil of Cavour from whom he learned the policy of "auda city and mendacity," is good enough to say that he does not hold the " commander"* responsible, for the ridiculous Congress represented " peace with a carbine, philosophy in a red shirt, and democracy in a carriage and pair." It is not with Garibaldi's sayings at Geneva, but with his doings in Italy that the bishop claims a " right" to summon M. Rattazzi to his bar and to:ask him direct questions. I suspect the wily commander will silently demur to the jurisdiction. The bishop has not the least difficulty in proving, which he does at very great length, that while the French government, by its official despatches, and by the speeches of its minis ters in the Chambers, represented the convention of Sept. 15, 1864, as destined to keep Italy out of Rome, Italian statesmen publicly stated from the first that they reluctantly signed that convention as the only means of getting rid of the French, but also with the firm conviction that the ultimate consequence of it would be to make Rome the capital of Italy. France told the catholic world that the selection of Florence for the capital of Italy meant. a renunciation of Rome ; but Italy all along, without any dissimulation, proclaimed that she looked upon Florence as but a stepping-stone towards Rome. The promises, the honourable engagements which the bishop now solemnly ad• jures M. Rattazzi to fulfil, were sleight of hand ex ercises in diplomatic jugglery which deceives no body but the very simple who were intended to be deceived. One of the numerous official docu ments quoted by the bishop is a despatch of M. Thouvenel's, dated May 31, 1863, to the Marquis do Lavalette, then French minister at Rome, in which the Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that the " capital of catholicism" would never, " with the consent of France," become the capital of the kingdom of Italy. That promise, I have no doubt, will be literally kept. But if " without the consent of France" Rome should become that capital, there are, I apprehend, very cogent reasons why France will not go to war to set the Pope up again. The fall of the temporal power would only be another " black spot," and that by no means the darkest, among the many that the Emperor has become used to contemplate with serenity. A letter in the Gazette do Midi says : It is very certain that the house of B— and Co., bankers, at Milan, have recently paid several millions to leaden of the party or action on the part of M. de Bis marck. You may take this news as positive and indubitable. • Commander is a civil Italian title given very generally in Italy to eminent men not noble by birth. M. Itattaui made his way to distinction as an advocate, and hits no military rank. Garibaldi has addressed a letter to the Italian journals ridiculing the report that he fled from Geneva. He had said before going, to all his friends that he would have to leave at the time he did leave, and that there was no secrecy whatever in the act of his departure. As to the congress there were differences of opinion, no doubt, and this is not to be wondered at considering the polies agents who were there with the object of awing • din. turbanos. But it was no fiasco; on the contrary a gnat good was dons to humanity. _ About 1,500 pamengen daily have been travelling lately by steamer between Newhaven and Dieppe. THE GREAT SHIP RACE FROM CHINA. The Ariel, Captain Keay, which Bailed from Foo chow-foo on the 13th June, nine day. after the departure of the Tacping, arrived off Gravesend at live o'clock this morning, having beaten the Taeping in time by four hours. She would have been in live days since but was detained in the Chops of the Channel by ea•terlv winds. The Fiery Cross is also telegraphed in the Downs. She sailed the same day as the Taepiug. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MONDAT. 8111.111118111 2E, 8 LIL CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT - (THIS DAY.) The September session of the Central Criminal e was opened this morning by the Lord Mayer (SW g Gabriel), the Common Serjeant (T. Chambers, Eska? caj Mr. Alderman Hale, Mr. Alderm a n D a ki n , Ald erman . ai Sheriff Sir S. H. Waterlow, Sheriff Sir F.Lyeett,tlieUndiar. Sheriffs (Messrs. Croaky and IM Jersey), &e. The first edition of the calendar contains the flames s t 107 prisoners, and the calendar contains 6 charges of, murder, and I of manslaughter, and 8 of fetishis m !, wounding with intent to murder and to do grievous hug; hum. The other charges appear to be mostly of an or d. nary description. The Common Serjeant, in charging the grand jury, aa id that the numberof prisoners for trialat this session was 'log greater than would have been expected from the peri o d a h, had elapsed since the last session, but he regretted to isf ara them that the calendar contained no lees than six eha lma of wilful murder, and all of them were of the a l m, serious description. In one case • young y ou ,. named Rose Matthew., was charged with the tied, : of her illegitimate child, and there appeared to b e doubt that she was delivered of a child, and that d, child was afterwards found with its throat cut ; and O A prisoner, after being questioned, admitted that a: had caused the injury, but said she did not know she was about at the time. Some of the other sty of violence that resulted in death appeared t o h a. , been committed while the parties were quarrelluir, and ia , state of excitement ; but they were prima fame case,:} wilful murder, and it would be the duty of the grand pie to return a true bill for that offence. His lordship s ".. referred to the case of the Frenchman Louis }further, at. said that the prisoner appeared never to have iittempt4, deny that he had caused the death of the deceased, ac . said that his motive for killing her was that he could L .. bear to be separated from her, she having a short tier previously expressed her intention to leave him; and th„ Gould have no doubt therefore as to the propriety of &d u ; • true bill. The learned Common Serjeant then west to say that the next charge of munler to which b e ca ,, sidered it necessary to direct their attention was sae of • very peculiar character, and would re gain , their most attentive consideration, namely, the char, against John Wiggins, of having killed a w as ., with whom he cohabited at the east end of the to n He then referred at considerable length to the vid eo , that would be adduced in support of the charge, sol said that the statement of the prisoner was that the 4 s ceased had destroyed herself, and he alleged that tie act was committed about 5 o'clock in the morns;. The medical evidence, however, tended entirely is negative this suggestion, and to show that the demand must have been dead two or three hours at that time, sc.: the position of the body and the state of the blood tesl,4 materially to confirm this evidence. He then retried to the other points in the case, and said the question for the grand jury would be whether they would not feel it 'ohs their duty to find • true bill. The grand jury then retired. _TN6 CAA6 OP PILIUSONATING A JUROR.. It will be remembered that at the last session Mr. Cu dock Lee, a saddler, in Drury-lane, who had been w mooed to serve as a juror, Wll3 fined 1001. for not attending and sending his foreman to represent him, the latter beizi fined 5/. for contempt of court. Mr. Lee now attended to show cause why the fine of 10k should not be enforced, and he put in an affidavit in 'hid he expressed his regret at what be had done, and stated that he bad acted entirely through ignorance, and that he had no intention to deceive or impose upon the court in any manner. Mr. Poland, who appeared on his behalf, also urgedamo the court that Mr. Lee was not a person who bad Named a good education, having worked in the fields and after wards served as a footboy till be wee 18 years of me. Although he had since been apprenticed and gone into business on his own account he had not served in any 4f the Westminster courts se • juror, and was utterly ignonun of the consequences likely to result from his neglecting to attend the summons. The Common Serjeant said it was a most groat eastern; .. of court, and every one aoquainted with the administration of justice must be aware of the serious consequences that might have resulted from the course that had been tat.: by the defendant. He did not consider the fine at il excessive, but having regard to the position of the dek• dant he would reduce the fine by one half and the defendut would have to pay a fine of 501. instead of 100/. He tiered this course would have been sanctioned by ti Recorder, and be hoped that the present proceeds.; would be a warning to all persons summoned to sent on jaries in future. Alderman Hale said that he dissented from the mum that had been taken by the majority of the court, al considered that the full fine ought to have been imbete. He had induced another person to commit perjury, and te considered the matter one of so much importance that it hoped the person who had committed perjury would prosecuted. The fine was paid. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The September adjourned general sessions of the pew for the county of Middlesex commenced this rooming the Sessions House, Clerkenwell•green. before Mr. Ser jesot Dowling, Deputy Assistant-Judge, and a full Mac. of magistrates.

THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) SIANSION-HOUSL THE GIFT Or THE K1.T.114 70 THE POOH. The Lord Mayor, on taking his seat on the bench this morning, said She wished to make a statement which he would be obliged if the gentlemen connected with the I press would make public. It would be recollected that his Imperial Majesty the Sultan just before leaving this country deposited with him the munificent sum of 2,5100. to be distributed among the poor of the metropolis, as a token of his appreciation of the welcome be had received. Finding that the applications for participation in this gift were so numerous that it was impossible for him to make that in• vestigation into the cases which was necessary to insure a proper distribution of the fond, be resolved to bestow it upon those charitable institutions which be deemed to fall most nearly within the intentions of the Suiten, be had determined to give to the Poor boxes at the IS police °aorta 501. each, the Jewish Dor Bo ad of Guardians, 100/. ; the Convalescent Home IMrs. Gladstone's), rot. ; Newport Market Refuge. 50/.: Giles's Refuge (girls), 50/. ; ditto (boys), 501. ; ditto (tmire Mg ship), 2101. ; Fielddano Refuge, 150/. ; CrippleS Home at Kennington, 501. ; Orthopedic Hospital 50/4 Philanthropic Society of London, W.; Victotia park Consumption Hospital, 1001.; Truss Society, Sutt City Dispensary, 5014 Royal General DipensarY. 50/.; Royal South Loudon Dispensary, :. 1 1 1 .; Me• tropolitan Dispensary, 501.; Farrimelm Dispensary. 50/.; City of London and East Dispensary. 5 1, /. ; City Kitchen, 50/. ; Deaf and Dumb Visitie; Association, 501. ; Employment of Nee llewomea Society (Charity Fund), 50/. ; Strangers' Friend Society, 1001.; Indigent Blind Society, 501. ; G uy's Maternity Society. 501.; House of Refuge (DuilleyStuart), 5/. ; Infirmary for Children, 50/. ; total, 2,5001.

GUILDHALL NELANCII O LT DATI..N ER.M DRINK. Ann Ntrman, a respectable-looking WOlll3ll, was placed at the bar, on remand, before Alderman SAloaems, charged with annoying her husband in his busineq. Mr. Lewis, senior,of Ely-place, who app • .1, •1 for the hus band, stated that some days ago the prisoner WA% SIIIIIIIIOIIOI for annoying his client in his bus' nets, and was , remanded in custody until to-day. Mr. Newman was a mo 4 re spectable man, and had been in one situation over 4.lvears. For some years past the prisoner had been in the habit of getting drunk, anti be had been obliged to separate front her. He allowed her a maintenance, but as v.10:1 as she got her money she would spend it in drink. and thin take a cab to his place of business to get more tel create a disturbance there if he did not comply with her demand+. Three times she had been confined for three months each, failing to find bail to keep the peace ; but, as soon as she came out of prison she resorted to the sante practices again.
