LONDON, rHURSDAY, BLPT. 30. ♦ SPECIAL EDITION of the • EXPRESS," esmeining the regatta of the day's Rises, is pub lished every evening duriag die Sporting Season, at ell o'clock. Ws seem to to in the height ct=nne-telling season. Scarcely a day perms some fresh proof that there exists amongst we in amount of knavery and dupery to state width In fiction a history would mar the era isemliewee of the one, sae impair the credit of the other. The other day there was a can of witch finding in Frees, in whisk the whets population of a considerable vMage, inclading the 100i1 DOOREILIT, VS./WU, and all their following, were only just prevented from oxereising 'mammary vengeance on an unpopular old woman, in the firm belief that she had bewitched • bad girl into the habitual me of foal language, had lamed settle, and driven pigs to commit , suicide by °leathering up pear tree/. Then came the mare elaborate swindle of HERE STZIXTHAL, the " Teutonic Thecooptwo," who got IEI. of hard oath ant of Moo, the well-educated Prussian baker, by convincing him that, in order to win • prise by • sham lottery ticket, nothing more was requisite than to tarn his money over in a midwife's bosom, to berry it in the earth, and after its interment to walk so mthy times beekwird and forward on the shady side of a hedge while the master muttered spells, and an acoomplhe dug up and made off with the booty. A case reported in our columns of yesterday, though lees dramatic, is hardly lees absurd thin either of the foregoing. JEAII/Mlll MTER3, reported as "a very pretty seed interesting looking young "person," in errant at Shacklewall, was accosted last Tuesday movoing by " a swarthy middle - aged woman with very !tiniest features," who began by asking if there was any china to mend. being answered in the negative, she pro ceeded at once to liminess, and asked the girl if eke would like to have her fortune told ; she was so Any, bat " a seventh daughter," and would tad Miss Melia her destiny for 3d. By-the-bye, from what port of the country did the young lady come ? The young lady told her from Poole, in Darsetshire. Well, that was extrao-dinary, for she —" the swarthy woman," vies married than. This wry of coarse, irresistible, and " the seventh " daughter" was at once privily introduced by back ways into the kitchen. There the meal thing fol lowed. Miqs Metes was to be a wife and a mother in two years' time; she was to be very lucky—ban/I a sovereign given to her on the 4th of next month, and get • good situation. This was commonplace enough. bat something else ensued which russet be better told than in the very words of the "innocent loilirg " JaAnstera :—" She pat a l 0 bottle into my band, which she said was dragon's " blood. I was to squeeze it hard while she told me " the good isews, end I did so. Then she took it ° from me and dropped one drop, only one, into the " fire, and I saw it fall. She said, ' You are not a " bed good-for-nothing girl, or it would blaze.' " After that At corked sip the bottle, pat it in her ▪ pocket, and asked me whether I had got about a 0 sovereign's worth of clothes. I went upstairs and " returned with two size es, • shawl, and two pairs oof boots, belonging to me. She told me to wrap " them up in paper or rag, and I folded thus I the table-eloth. She said she must take them to " the churchyard, and throw down mould upon " them, sad bier them, after which she would re " turn with them. I was to 'catch her go into lAe ▪ elercAgard, where, she said, she sat fur hours " reeding wery night. I went upstairs, and a she • left the house I saw her from the window turning " away from the direction of West Hackney chards, "but she baked up at the window and saw me; I ° think she then turned towards the *hutch. I watched "far, and had she gone into the churchyard I most have nu her, but she disappeared all of a sudden, "aid I hoboes alarmed, followed, and asked some 0 parsons if they had seen a woman with • bundle, • A man advised me to go to the Kingsland station, "aid I did so, and told the police, then returned "home, when some time afterwards they cams and " sail the woman was in oustady." Such is the simple JEANNXITeII simple tale, and it is of coarse deplorable enough to find that there are still some grown-up people so fatuous, and others so knavish, as to render such a traimaction as this possible in London on the 28th of September, 1838. 'saris Ertl was not uneducated : she went to the parish school at Poole when between four and five years old, and war at school altogether about ten years. Whatever the existing means of instruction could do for the girl had been done, yet she at once falls a victim to the gross and vulgar artifices of a wretched impostor like this "seventh daughter." It was the same with Moo, the Prussian baker : after the very commendable fashion of his country, Moo had received what in oar prison calendars would be styled " a sapenor edusation." Yet the delusion which prevailed against him was, if some what mom elaborate, not • whit leas absurd than that which proved too strong for JaA:rerrre Writhe. It may be observed that in both these cease the Magistrates expressed, what under similar circum stance* they are naturally enough in the habit of expressing, comidesoble surprise that the amount of Detraction evidently poesessed by the victims of hese miserable impoators had not kept them beyond the reach of delusions so grove and palpable. The sarpriee is no doubt natural, bat we have only to THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY ' pay the asset ordinary attention to what is going CS is the world around us to show that it is en filaded. The plain fact is that even high--nay, It may be said even the highest, culture is proved to be no effectual security against the influence of de lusions seemly if at all less monstrous than those which were seecessful with the dupes of the German astrologer mid " the seventh daughter." Have we not, or had we not very recently, the spectacle of the most generally untended people of modern times contributing from every rank of society en thusiestio believers in the monstrous delusion of spirit-rapping P It was by no means the lout culti vated portion of the American community that pre in to this absurdity. The spiritual epidemic raged with peculiar intensity among the " Upper Ten " Thousand." Has not spiritualism spread widely among the same alum on this aide the Atlantic ? Who is there who has not " insisted," or been milted to assist, at one of those doleful experiesiess called spiritual slences, which were not so many months back a fashionable pastime in Bel gravia and Mayfair P What Rene man has ever done so without a sesio-comic sense of wonder at seeing the butterfly victims of ennui and frivolity taking part in ceremonies,compared to which a refection of Trappists, or a prayer meeting of Cameronians, are scenes of cheerful and rational excitement? As long as we find people of high cultivation firm in the belief that tables turn and kick and jump down stairs—that bands unskilled in the very rudiments of drawing trace faultless designs under the resistless guidance of Invisible fingers—that gifted media emit visible rays and balms, in which other gifted media can read the secrets of the Invisible—that spirits dis course in audible raps, and communicate their experiences in very execrable verse—as long as these things are so, let us new to wonder that the imperfect culture even of the better instructed among the humbler class fails to preserve them from the math/nations of the astrologer and the fortane teller. We do not mean by these observations to east the slightest doubt on the policy of patting the law in fora against the lower professors of the art of deception : en the contrary, we are firmly con vinced that the interposition of the penal law is absolutely nicersary for the repression of them lucrative /Fends. Wherever money or money's worth is obtained by trick and deception the criminal law finds a legitimate field for its exercise. When trick and deception address the superst:tioas feelings and work by supposed supernatural mechanism, the ✓eason for putting the criminal law in force is not . sesakened but strengthened. The magistrate in ad sdhistering the law has a clear and plain clue for him guidance : fraud is the enemas of the offence, and it is fraud alone which should be the subject of punishment. When STIIXTHAL procured an ac complioe to dig up the buried 181., it was fraud ; when the " seventh daughter " maid off with Miss MYERS'S bundle it was fraud. Both cases are clearly puniahable on that ground. The cue may be different where money is obtained by the practice ' of that which the magistrate believes to be a delusion, but the practitioner does not. A medium, for in stance, honestly convinced of the truth of spiritualism, and making money by practising, would not fall within the range of the law: a medium who pro duced his edicts and made his money by proved trickery, would. The difficult owes are those which lie between these two extremes—the cases where the practitioner, himself a half-believer, is almost as much deluded SS deluding. But these are points which must be left to the administrator, of the law, and may now-a-days be left to them safely. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. CNZON OVA OWN 001101311PONDWINN PARIS, WZ.NWIDA.T BVININO. I yesterday heard an anecdote, of which I can vouch for the truth, and which proves—as, indeed, we already know—that the /orator is re occasion ally gives place here to the esoviter in seodo. Some of your readers, whore memories go back to the days of the coup &stag, may remember the name of M. Herve. He was • republican of the reddest complexion, an associate of Prondhon and men of that stamp. He win among those marked out for the pleasant little marine excursion to Cayenne; but fortunately escaped that fate, being merely put out of harm's way in some native prison. It is not necessary to trouble you with this gentleman's biography up to the present time, nor to dilate further upon his individuality than to say that he is considered by his friends to be a man of no particular ability—in short, in point of talent, is a man of decent mediocrity and no more. Some ten days or a fortnight ago, M. Hone received from the Prince Minister of Algeria and the Colonies, a letter which ran somewhat as follows,—" Sir, being de sirous of surrounding my ministry with all that is most distinguished in point of ability, and my atten tion having been directed to you, I beg to offer you the situation of—(naming a place of considerable im portance). The salary is only 6,000 francs • year, • sum whisk I consider wholly unworthy of your acceptance. I shall, therefore, from my own private purse, add the like amount, making the salary which I offer you 12,000 francs. Awaiting your reply, &c., &c."signed by the Prince himself. The following day the Prince Minister received an answer from M. Herve, to this intent. " Monseigneur,—l am penetrated with the oompli- ment containel in your offer, &0., &c. But, as before returning a definite answer I must consult the republican committee, of which I am the presi dent, I request that your imperial highness w ill allow me two days for that purpose," &e., &0., signed by M. Here& The two days having elapsed, the prince received a second letter, informing him that M. Hervb having laid his imperial highnem's offer before his com mittee, and having taken the opinion of that body on that matter, was graciously pleased to accept the offer of the situation, and only awaited his imperial highness'. commands to enter upon hi. floc dons. He further stated that he wrote his aooep unite from the committee which was then sitting. To this the prince immediately replied that M. Herve would greatly oblige him by presenting to him on a certain day the entire committee in question at his villa in the Avenue Montagne, when he should be happy to discuss matters in general with the members, and perhaps a little re ' publicanism in particular. There is something highly entertaining in this treating of power with power. As to the act heel!, it ap pears to be nothing more than has, in a higher sphere, been done over and over again in the adminis tration. The entire machine of imperialism is con ducted not by imperialists, but by ex-Orleanists, and tamed republicans. There is no gamekeeper equsl to your old poacher, and a penitent thief makes the best of policemen. Even supposing M. Herve is not the distinguished man he thinks himself and is thought by his committee, it is turning him to a much better nee to keep him from 10 till 4, copying colonial despatches, than to let him hatch treason till he reaches the point of hand grenades and Cayenne. The attention of all interested in the progress of the representative system may be beneficially directed to a very small spot in Italy. The diminu tive republic of San Marino, founded nearly twelve centuries ago by a stonemason, containing a popu lation considerably under 10,000, whish has sur vived so many devastating wars and terrible revo lutions, has, in the course of the present month, elected as its regents MM. Belluzzi and Maracci. The witty Taxa. Dotard has a ding at Louis Vetrillot and the Univers to-day, in the Charivari.

The assestat for the quarter just faded will sew a lies is blooms Tax of about two and a half millions, in oonsequence of the reduction of the rate ; but this is lees than the proportion of duty reduced, owing to the collection always being half a year in arrear. It is expected that there will be a reduction on excise of about 160,0001., partly owing to !the post ponement of the hop duty, and partly to a temporary falling off in the receipt of duty on spirits, owing to merit alterations therein. On other branches of revenue there will be a con siderable increase ; in Customs, about 840,0001. on the quarter alone, principally on sugar, tea, tobaoco, and corn, and generally on moat other items. In Stamps there is an improvement of about 80,0001. in the quarter, which may be assumed to arise from the penny stamp on drafts. A small improvement his also taken place in the Pad-office revenue. The item Miscellaneous shows increased receipts ef about a quarter of a million, arising from the receipt of balances which scarcely form an item of revenue. The net loss of revenue in the quarter, se compared with the corresponding period of last year, is about 1,600,0001., which, patting the decreased income tax out of considera tion, is a positive increase of some 850,0001. The account for the year sheers an improvement on every branch of revenue, excepting (of course) Income Tax. The reduction of duty on that tax from 16d. to 7d. occasions a lass of nearly eight millions in the year oa that item alone. The increase to be set off against this loss are about 380,0001. on Customs; 280,0001. on Excise; 380,00411. on Stamps; 40,0001. on Taxes; 100,0001. on Post,ofilos ; and nearly 800,0001. on Miscella neous. The Crown Lands are stationary. The increases, therefore, lessen the losses on the general revenue by about 2,000,0001., showing an actual decrease on the year of shoat 6,000,0001.

The long continuation of line weather with which we are this year favoured, Wards the appesrance of those toilettes which we may call decidedly autumnal ; our belles at the see-side are still lobe seen in all the elegance of enm mer dress. Printed and white =manna, batistes, quilting', end baregee are, of °our*, worn. The evening promenade affords an opportunity for the display of those pretty burnt now made in such various materials ; or for the bandana striped shawls with • small point reaching about to the waist and finished by a large tassel. Taffeta, and poplins are much worn for lees negligee toilettes, and in both these materials check. are in great favour. Green, or blue and bleak and gayer and more varied colours, are all adopted according to the taste of the wearer. We have seen some very pretty taffetas in very n►rrow stapes. Plain skirtr— th►t is to say, without flounces, but trimmed en fallible— with bows, peassinenterie with aigaillettes, or ruches, are worn with taste for walking dress. Doable skiiia, sad, In deed, the two deep drawn which replaced them at the commencement of this season, are now being superseded by trimmings on the front breadth, or by severe I flounces, with a 'easy heading to each. The bodies of walking dresses are made high, and but treed in front. With these, bsaques are scsrely ever seen • rounded bodies, with a band and buckle, or • tibbon rush fastened in front, being the style now in favour. litany dresses are made with points before and behind. la foil dream this form is indispensable. Sleeves are still worn open and large, either trimmed salt jockeys, drilla, plaiting', or fancy gimp. Moire antique, in black or colours, still retains the favour it has so long enjoyed; and, indeed, scarcely any dress can surpass it for style and elegance. This material is also much used for nimeninge on burnous. Theme are made frequently in cec.hemire, in broad Aigeriennee stripes, or in liglr coloured,cecheceire, wirdcl.d and trimmed with plaid, and black silk trimmed with plaid,or plain velvet, plaited she itt ribbon or silk, or with handsome passementerie. When trimmed with moire, the lining should be of the same colour. We h►ve seen some very handsome taffetas for dresses of a superb quality; the ground white, with checks reiber more than half an inch in size, formed by file coloured threads. Round the bottom of the skirt were 'tree plain stripes, the eclair of the checks, four Inches side, is loos de Tours. We have notked some dresses made in a plain colon•, snob es light brown, lilac, blue, or green, with one breadth in front, arranged en tablier, of plaid Ilk of many colours, in which blue end green predominate; or the front breadth ornamented in pattenne formed in f.ncy velvet, imitating pleated ribbons, brandaboarga fitatencii by buttons the same Can'T es the dress, or in a Oreoque. Others have th e front breadth of white silk, with hoikental wreaths of Borers surmounting fringes the same «goer as the deers. Again, come are made • ith one breadth of a plain coloured silk, end a halt breadth of the silk described, plated eater sanely. Oa warm days muslin bunions, Hard with coloured silk, are Mill worn, and are pretty trimmed with bouillonnes ar ranged lengthways over coloured ribbons. Dreams are ge nerally very mock winintoi, either with fancy gimp, Abbott', or plaiting. of the rune material es the dress. For evening dress nothing is prettier then a white myelin drew. With these pagoda sleeves with frills, are frequently wore, without under-sleeves, which are replaced by valve braosista with long ends. We noticed lately with a spotted muslin deers a wide tub of the same muslin, which had a very good effect. Coloured or plaid ribbons are much nedinttimming white muslin &fume; nevertheless, a toilette entirely white el Dever be out of favour. For inehroor, a white twist= with pink &ODOM, or with doonces edged with n•' row hoc, ands law body with s tarlatan bertha, is always a pretty evening dress, especially for a young lady. There iv some talk of returning to the gigot alleys this winter, which would sappers the prettiest pert of or- dress, the white sleeve, and leave us only the cuff. We have seen some dresses of thick materials made with plain Aim without fl Juane', end evert without any senamest Rich taffetas of plain clerk colours are very imitionable. W. have noticed some of then simply trimmed with severe) rows of buttons on the skirt ; the body high, and pagoda sleeves. It 13 yet too early to speak decidedly with raped to any dump in mantles. The burnous, we have said, is still worn, We also see velvet mantles end loose jackets, both la velvet sad cloth. As with (lemma and mantle., so with bonnet,. At the pre. sent time the fine weather prolongs the adoption of light and summer bonnets. At the sea-lide mid in the oountry hats ere almost universally worn, especially in motsiog dram These are of varied shapes: the Louis XIII., the Meade'., and the Marle-Antoinette, are most generally adopted. They are ingoowly edged with lace, and are nude in chip, felt, and brown or black straw. The Irlaadois is generally Of brown strew, and forms a reel shade from the sun. It is trimmed with a large bow In front, which futena a bong feather. The Louis X oa the contrary, is very graceful, and is raised at the sides by feathers; sometimes by dowers, bat feathers are preferable. The Maria-Antoinette is shoos , analmeed et chip. It het a triad of eattsin, and ht front ths form Is only half roood. It Is generally ornamented aitb dowers outside and Maids the front. 13. raw bonnets are mill sands worn. A chip lemma is my pretty, with a black velvet °arta% edged w$ pkk, and trimmed with Bengal roan mixed with black valve, smuiged In a wreath across the front, bleak strings edged whit pink, and a small bouquet of rotes inside the host. This idyls of trimming is very pretty. With a green taffetas bona Q. toes should be white, slightly dated with pink, said the stings green end white. White royal velvet is • Ismortus material for bonnets. Round wreathe have bean coach worn lately. We have noticed one of sky-blue dmrets, without WNW, so delicate that it snowed to be made of feathers. We have seen the same in white, intended for a bride. This style makes an elegant trimming for ► ball dress. A pink silk dress, for in stance, with this trimming is white, would have a good 'dem Some ladies, before leaving town, have had elegant coiffures made of blonde, to which they have added, whim in the conatry, natural flowers, varied from day to day to snit their taste and the diem with latch It was to be worn.

Yesterday being /Licheelmas-day, the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers celebrated the occasion by a grand banquet la their hall at Lagoa-bridge, Yr. T. SODDING. TON, the Prime Warden, occupying the chair. To the toed of "The Army and Navy," Sir HENN! RawmireoN and Captain COLLXNCON, R.N., replied. Tbs Punta Wunnix then proposed "The health of Lord Stmiley end the members of the council for India." Lord 82A.WLIE—Iiir. Prime Warden and gentlemen, I believe it would be impossible for any public man to receive —I am rare it is not in my power to receive —such marks of courtuy and kindness es you have shown without re gretting my inability adequately to express the gratitude which It is impossible for me not to fuel; and much as at any time I should have felt the oompllment you have peg me, I have peculiar mums for feeling it at the present reamme, because I have now the privilege of addsearbig To o not merely ran acquaintance, but as a near neighbour. It Is hue, In this city of London, and very near to this spot, that the greater part of my time, as of that of many whom I now address, is ping. And I think I may my for my oollaegno la the Indian Council, as well as for myself, that, as sash Is the reception we have met with in the east, we shall not be in any particular haste to emigrate weetwarde. (Laughter.) Gentlemen, the chairman has been pleased to connect my name with the government of India. I do net stand here for the purpose of reviving, or even of alluding to, peat controversies, bat this I may be permitted to say, that throughout those parliamentary discussions which ended in the treader of the Indian government from the company to the executive of this country, that change was uniformly usereesated by me, and by those colleagues with 1 whom I acted, as not being In the nature of • postal procecl ing—aa not involving any sentence of condemnation against the administration of that great company whose century of empire has come to an end. We looked upon It, and I think rightly, as a change which was the natural, and even Renee eery, result of the lapse of time and the progress of events. I believe the change will be productive of benefit to India, I hope it will lead to • larger introduction into that country of European energy, enterprise, and thoaglit ; but I cannot °MOW from myself, and I cannot pommel from you, that if that change of government has Increased the opportunities possessed by the government of this ooantry, it has also augmented in a similar degree the re sponsibility which lies upon us. (Hear, heir.) We have to guard against a double danger. We have to protect India from the fluctuations of parliamentary politics, and we have t p e ur Zeot liagland from the more indirect and real es, but tart bee real, tisk which may arise from the con soles d Ys ezcontive with an executive which Is nicer si:rd' in y ii =lo. I believe—and I rejoice to believe—that the of the last fifteen months Is gradoelly: dying wet, sed so elm the exuperation of feeling which prevailed M this country against the natives of India, and which, seder all the circumstances, we can hardly regard with asto- Mehemet, though we may look at it with regret. I be- Hove I may say that that exasperation Is drug out with the canes to which it owed its origin, end that at no distant time we will be, if is is not so already, in • better and more habitual frame of mind; bat we ought to remember that it is not from ill-will or ill-feeling on our part, but from uninformed or misdirected efforts for doing good, that the influence of our government in India is exposed to danger. We regard, and undoubtedly we ought to regard, the natives of India as persons towards whom it is our duty to have a good will, sad for whom it is our duty to labour. But that is not enough. It is not enough that we should regard them as objects on which our benevolence may be exercised—as persona as to whom it is In our power to make important changes for good. We must look at them also as being men with whom, and not against whom, we have to work—men with feelings of their own —men, though politically subjwitto us, with • sense of their own rights, and with • respect for their own independence—(thertre)—man who are apt to be all the more term-toes of their intellectual indepudimes sad national enemas because of the political subjection in which they are held. (Cheers.) Undoubtedly the position of oonquetirig and governing race confers many advantages as regards the influence which may be auteised over • con quered people ; but that position has also its disadvantages, for the poultice of a conquering race is one which almost Inevitably tends to produce a certain seam of supsriurity, a certain arrogance, if that be not t 4 harsh a word to use, a certain disregard toward, feelings, in which, not being placed in similar eirotunesnces, it Is utterly impassible for us to share ; and I do not hesitate to my that, unless we modify and keep within proper bounds that feeling of national superiority— ti-lees we remember carefully, and area jealously respect, the very prejudices of than whom we have to isle above all things, If we attempt to introduce the force rod influence of government into that which ought to be a matter of private couviciiu between man and his own con science —(olteen.)—if we do this, or even if we are sus pected upon plausible grounds of attetnring or desii:ng to do it, we shell have our efforts at improvement thrown back in our face as intuits, and shall end in doing more harm than good. (Chaim) lam sere that in this hall there is no need for amok words of warning end caution as I have uttered, but out of this room there may be some quarters where they will not be altogether =per floats. I em called upon to return thanks for tir col leagues, the members of the toilet Council, and °moldering the almost paternal relation in which the government of which I am • member stands towards almost a hello( that column, I feel I am not the person to speak in miss of its members. This, however, I will say, became I see lay it with truth, that in choosing those who are to suet us in the administration of Indian affair*, we have lookcd . ,,aut to parliamentary connexion, not even to egret/runt in loglish politics, not to personal friendship, but solely to porton/I administrative t fileiency in those whom we have °horn ea reyrelettiniree of the different cervices in India. I am bound also to add, and the more so, because criticisms have appeared In a contra y same, that I, for one, have no lees mown to be eati.tbsl with that elec tion which was the last governmental act performed by the Bast India Company. To any one who con siders what the position of India is it mast be *Woes that on us there devolves a labour which is not light. We have en army to reorgealse, and an empire to parity.

(Cheer.) Moreover.
