True, it neared no mOO% ragement from anything that was said and s chall by the leaders of the Coraidentoy—trip, fliat Mr. YexcEir soon after wrote to us fiat the people of the Confederate States would de cline to apologise to English public opinion for slavery—true, that the present Vice-President of the Confederation has declared that " Negro " slavery is but in its infancy," and dilated on the prospect of a glorious extension of its political power by the settlement of new territory with imported that the Generals of the Confederacy have very recently sent south ward all the free negroes who have fallen into their hands during the war, to be sold into slavery. But it might be that these are only informal and incidental occurrences, which ought not to preju dice our opinion of the Confederate government. What, however, we should like to know is, whether those Englishmen who are day by day recommending the cause of that government to Europe, can give us any reason to expect that for the sake of peace it would be pre pared to make concessions to the moral judgment of the world. Promises relating to tLe internal legislation of the settled Southern States it may be unreasonable to expect; perhaps the government of the Confederacy is not in a con dition to give them ; perhaps it is not desirable to seek them. But there is one thing which the Con federacy might do, and which it will do if it has the least desire to move in the direction of modern civilization. If it cannot imitate the Dutch, who are at this moment emancipating their slaves in the West Indies, it may at least undertake not to ex tend its system into territories where slavery has at present no vested interests too large for it to deal with. There is Texas, for instance, with an area much larger than that of France, and a free popu lation smaller than that of the Duchy of Nassau, and one hundred and eighty thousand slaves ; there are New Mexico and Arizona, with a still wider area, and a population inferior to that of the canton of Lucerne. Slavery at present has got no great hold upon their territories; their destiny is un decided ; they may become a dozen Slave States, the seat of a population impoverished in order that a small number may live in luxury and idle ness ; or they may become the homes of millions of freemen, consumers of foreign manufactures, whose large earnings may stimulate the markets of Europe. If the Confederate Government is pre pared to undertake that its present barbarous system shall be restricted to the area over which it now extends, we believe it would more effec tually promote the interests of peace by an _ . . - announcement to that effect than it could do by any other measure. But if those Englishmen who advocate its cause have no expectation of this kind, they must be prepared to bear the infamy of advocating the propagation of slavery. We think some of our contemporaries owe the public some explanation on this point. Do they wish success to the Confederacy as the great Slave Power it has hitherto shown itself I Or have they any grounds for expecting an improvement of its character ? English honour is concerned in the answer to this question. PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S Proclamation on slave emancipation has not, as far as at present appears, the importance which some persons in England are disposed to attach to it. Like moat of the acts of the Executive of the United States, it is feeble and halting. If it was right and wise to declare free the slaves of rebels, it should have been done outright and not as a conditional threat, to take effect three months after date. HaA it been issued • year ago, or when the Federal armies advanced on leaving winter quarters, it would have saved the Government of the Union much discussion, and would in all pro bability have seriously crippled the enemy. Now it cannot take effect before the Federal armies are ready to advance and execute the projected move ment upon the Slave States. Had it been issued when President LINCOLN had the support of an united and enthusiastic public, its effect in imprinting a policy on the war would have been incalculable. Issued now, when the pro-slavery party in the North is taking courage, it may prove but one more element of weakness. Mr. LlN coues great mistake from the first has been not to perceive that revolution could only be met by re volution. No doubt it ESA the mistake also of a majority in the North ; but a year ago the people would have followed a leader who knew his own mind. The issuing of the Proclamation will prove a wise or a vain act, according as it is backed with more or less energy in the field. There is, however, one kind of praise which, although not vety complimentau, may be given to it. The Proclamation cannot make matters worse. It cannot aggravate the condition of the negroes. At the South the black man will still be valued, as he always has been, for use as long as he remains in his master's power. As to those who have escaped or may escape, the Confederate Government cannot use them worse than they do now. At Harper's Ferry there were a mixed multitude of free negroes and escaped !slaves when the place was taken. JACKSON— " the Puritan JACKSON," as we have seen him styled—swept the whole lot off and sent them into slavery. After the last of Porz's battles, a party of negroes went out under the protection of a flag of truce to bury the dead. When they had performed their work a corps of Confederate infantry advanced upon them and made them all prisoners and slaves, and a shout of exultation burst up from the whole South, the chivalrous South, at this treacherous violation of the laws of war. This truculence must be pro vided against in future. If Mr. LINCOLN affects to give liberty to men, he must give them arms with which to defend that possession, and give them officers. To make soldiers of all the blacks who show their courage and energy by escaping is the surest, perhaps the only way, to prevent ser vile war. glit erortoo. yO . 09.*RESPONDINTS. .dvartlomatto Woodall for " • Loudon Toombs I most boo at tie olio*, 10, Bouvetbrains., by Two ; ,Ta au the day of patietioa. 00YZNT Tins Eviatnia, THE Dr15611/71. lege Louis► Pine and litsa swan Pyna Mown.

Tin Decree of Amnesty which has been daily ex pected to make its appearance in the official Gazette of the Italian Government will excite as little surprise as admiration. An amnesty is some times an act of state policy and sometimes of royal clemency ; in the present case it will be inter preted as neither the one nor the other so much as an act of plain necessity. It comes too soon to be politic, too late to be generous. From the first it was inevitable. Of all the forms of trial to which GARIBALDI and his followers could be liable, it was difficult to say which would be the most in jurious, if not the most impossible. Was GARI BALDI to be tried, as Si mutineer, by court-martial ; or, as a rebel against his sovereign, by • high court of justice I As a mutineer, the severest penalty must have followed, a sentence calculated to affect the discipline of the entire army. As a rebel against the Kum's authority f Such a charge must have resulted in • triumphal ac quittal, perhaps in counter-charges from their very vagueness all the more dangerous and difficult to rebut. It may be assumed, then, that an am nesty was determined in principle three weeks since ; but that the Italian Government considered it becoming its dignity to enter upon the prelimi nary formalities of a trial in order to save appear ances, to wear a look of cold and stern cieliberation, and indifference to popular impulse or public clamour. If we are not misrepresenting the pur pose of the Cabinet of Turin, we humbly conceive that it has committed a sore mistake. All its adversaries, and their name is legion, will loudly assert that it was only when the requisite tribunal was not to be found that the trial was definitely abandoned. Nor, we apprehend, will M. Rarrazzt obtain all the credit he may deserve for desiring to spare a wounded patriot the indignity of seeing his pure name included in a list of the " pardoned " beneficiaries of a royal 'wadding. A veteran diplomatist was wont to warn his young disciples against indulging first instincts ; because, he said, " they are generally good." The first instincts of at least a section of M. RATTAZZI'S Cabinet, certainly of the KINO, were of this na ture ; and it is to be regretted in the interest of a Government that has no reputation to lose that they were not followed at a somewhat earlier date. Had the amnesty been a personal act of royal grace, as the KING'S most intimate counsellors, and we dare say Vlcroit EMIKANIILL himself, would have desired, the Royal prerogative might have gained in honour and in strength. On the other hand, the KING'S name had been already too freely used, and M. Rarrezzi will scarcely be blamed in England for insisting on the rights of Ministerial responsibility. How GiRIBALDI him self will receive this amnesty for his wounds, whether as an apology or a reluctant homage, matters less than to know that no amnesty could bestow upon him more entirely or more securely, as he lies apart in silent meditation on his conch at Varignano, the hearts of his fellow-countrymen. For them the error of one darker day is lost in the light of the lifelong service of him who first taught the Italians of the nineteenth century that now as in the old time valour and virtue are one. CONSIDERING the eagerness with which EngSil opinion and English sympathies have accompanied the varying fortunes of the American war, and the prayers that have gone up for the success of the Confederate cause, it is strange that we hear so little said of the terms on which it would be practicable to make a desirable and durable peace. It is not to be supposed that those who day by day denounce " this miserable and wicked war" have never once looked forward and asked them selves on what conditions it would be possible for the two most hostile civilizations the world con tains to live together on the same continent, divided only by arbitrary and artificial fron tiers, and with unoccupied territory the seat of future states and empires lying before them, the prize of the boldest and most powerful. These things must have been thought of ; the denunciations we hear cannot all be unintelligent and mechanical ; and nevertheless nothing is said of these important questions. This is a matter of much consequence. The case does not affect us se it .

IHE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVINING, THE PROPOSED CITY GARIBALDI MEETING, • , DEPUTATION TO no LORD MAYOR (THIS DAY). This morning a largo and influential deputation of the citizens of London waited upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of requesting his lord ship to preside over the meeting of sympathy with Geri. baldi, proposed to be held, with his lordship's sanction, in the Guildhall„ on Tuesday next. Amongst the deputation were the Revs. Dr. Laster and Worthington, Common Coun cilmen Richardson and Bennett, Mr. Parry, Q.C., Messrs. Lloyd Jones, J. B. Taylor, Masson, Barker, do. On the sanintding of the deputation in the sate-room, Mr. RICHARDSON, addressing the members, said he had last night received a note from the Lord Mayor on the subject of the deputation, with which be thought they should be made se qtudntecl. The note was u follows : " Mention-house, October 6. " Dear Yr. Richardson,—Garibildi being now liberated (or to be so soon) no longer requires our sympathy, and it seems to me that there is nothing to gain for him by hold ing the proposed meeting. A soldier, such as he un doubtedly is, would not willingly accept sympathy for a moment, nor would he willingly have it supposed he lost a battle. He, like a truly loyal subject, deprecated a conflict with the troops of his sovereign. His loyalty has been ap preciated, and the amnesty may well satisfy his friends. If you and those with whom you are acting concur with me in all this, you will perhaps not pions me to give orders for the ball being prepared.—Yours idneemly, "Virilux Cmirrr." After a few minute,' conversation the deputation deter. mined to see his lordship and carry oat the object for which they attended. The members of the deputation having been introduced to his lordship, by whom they were cordially received, Kr. PARRY said—My lord, we are a deputation from a committee of gentlemen interested in the welfare of Garibaldi and in the speedy evacuation of Rome by the French troops. The meeting which your lordship has sanctioned to be held in the Guildhall has a doable object in view, in the first place to express the sympathy of the citizens of London with Garibaldi and his cause, and in the second place to protest against the continued occu pation of Rome by the troops of the French Emperor, as occupation which we deem dangerous to the peace of Europe. We desire to *es Rome become, es she ought to be, the capital of free Italy, an Italy which had been ac knowledged by all the principal powers of Europe. The deputation trust, therefore, your lordship will add to the weight of the meeting by consenting, as chief magistrate of the city of London, to preside over its pro. ceedings, and a copy of the resolntions to be proposed will be submitted for your lordship's approval. The Rev. Dr. Worrraurcrox, as a minister of the church of England. deeply sympathising with Italy and Garibaldi, trusted his lordship would accede to the wishes of the depu tation. The LORD MAYOR said he must reiterate the sentiments contained in his letter to Mr. Richardson. The situation of affairs with respect to that illustrious patriot Gari baldi had been much changed within the last few days. He had bees recognised by his King as a loyal subject, and sympathy was no longer required. He thought the second subject alluded to by the learned gentleman (Mr. Parry) hardly came within the scope of the requisition. 'Had the Roman question been alluded to, he thought thel requi. aition would not have been so numerously signed, and cer tainly be should have hesitated before granting the use of the Guildhall. He thought it iticompatibla with his posi tion to take the chair as requested, even had the meet ing been confined to its original object. He was anxious not to take any step in his official position to compromise the government. Holding them views, be must decline to take the chair, and indeed, in the altered circumstances, he thought the meeting should not take place, and hoped the deputation would not pram him for the lie of the hall, as he thought he ought not to groat it. His sympathies, however, were entirely with Garibaldi, had he required them. Mr. PARRY said they were entirely in his lordship's bands, He would remind his lordship that it had gone forth to the world that be had ;rented the use of the Guildhall for the meeting, and any hesitation or retractation of such permission would have a bad effect. The committee had made their arrangemente on the faith of that promise, and he trusted his lordship would well consider before he re called that promise. The deputation thought that an expression of sympathy with Garibaldi and his cause from the citizens of Loudon was u much called for as ever, and it would be given. Mr. RICHARDSON, Mr. BARKIR, and other members having supported the views of Mr. Parry, The LORD MAYOR said he must positively decline to tells the chair, and would send an &sewer to the deputation ea Thursday as to whether he would grant the use of the Guildhall for the meeting. _ _ The depwistion, thanklug hie lordship for their courteous reeeptioe, thee retired. No fartherwetioe will be taken until the Lord Misycem reply has been rtweired. OZYITAL "PaLaCIL-012 SHILLING DAT.-110H DL; Oor. —Adssinisas an payment, 5,440 ; abbe by mama WWI, 712; lal. $,171.

When you quit your workshops, where labour invigorstee the temper of the cantor your domestic hearths, the source of the holiest affections, and, strong in num bers, assemble to express your sentiments in public, you never think of checking your feelings. Your words and ap plause are for the benefit of those who suffer under momentary misfortune, or who lie prostrate under the bondage of slavery. Formerly, fair people of Scan , dinavis, you sent me an affectionate salutation, when God gave me strength to tear the crown of thorns from the brow of our brethren of the south ; and now you meet again to sustain by the moral support of your good wishes a good deed, the real unity of the Italian nation, an Italy mistress of herself. In the name of my compatriots, I return you thanks, 0 noble race of men. Let us all unite to extend and impose the lofty voice of affection and con cord. The sword is a misdeed u the penalty of death is an abuse, conquest an insult Let us acquire the fruits of the earth in which we live in order to exchange them freely with others. Let us make war an anachronism and labour a hymn to the Eternal. When church bells and cannon shall have been converted into productive machines, force, disarmed, will return to the den from which it issued to the despair of man, and the dawn of happiness will whiten the horizon and spread it rays till it encircles the whole world. From the depths of my soul, then, greeting and gratitude 'to you, 0 people of Stockholm. G. GARIBALDI. DEFEAT OF INTOLERANCE IN BWIT7MR- The Independence Belga has the following : A short time ago we deplored the spirit of intolerance which was exhibited in the canton of Aargau, in Switzer land, with respect to the law passed by the Grand Oonncil for the political emancipation of the Jews. We are glad to be able to state that the reactionary movement was only momentary. The ultramontane party, the promoters at this kind of legal revolution, by which the liberal autho rities were overthrown, were utterly defeated at the elec tions which took place in consequence of the popular voter The composition of the new Grand Conoco, and the executive power, completely guarantee. the triumph of the liberal party.

On the arrival of the Portuguese squadron from Genoa, the King went on board the Bartholomew Diaz, in the royal barge, and brought the Queen to the pavilion in the Commercial-square, where they were received by the Municipal Chamber. A procession was then formed to the Church of St. Dominic, where the Patriarch performed the marriage ceremony. The procession returned to the pavilion amid salvos of artillery. The keys of the city were then presented to their Majesties, and the troops marched past. A procession was formed to the Palace of Ajuda, where a state banquet was given. The royal pair afterwards drove round the city, and were enthusiastically received. The weather was very fine. The city is illuminated this evening. VICTOR HUGO AND THE " MONITEUR." M. Charles Hugo has addressed the following letter to the Mottiters : " Oct. 6. . TO FHB ZEDACTZUB-111•CHEF OF THZ ' I(OMTIUL " In pursuance of the law, I require you to insert this letter in your next number. I read in your journal of October 5, on the subject of the interdiction of the drama Leo Miserobtes, a note which itls desirable to explain. The fade ate these :—On the 12th of August last, M. de Chilly, the manager of the Ambigu Theatre, was sent for by Y. Camille Donaet. A vaudeville d'adualitl, called Les Miserable* Parlous, bad been refused by the committee of censure, and thereupon M. Camille Doucet announced to Y. de Chilly that the following r .solution had been come to, namely, that the drama founded on the Mialrables, not yet finished, but accepted at the Ambigu and limply as mamma, yea preventively prohibited, and that, further any allusion to the personage' of the novel woulei be prohibited in the theatrical pieces of the new year. The manager of the Ambigu, finding his interests thus seriously menaced, thought fit, by a letter dated August 22, to appeal from this unpre cedented decision, and urged his right to send the piece to the committee of censure for examination. It was then, and then only, that, in pursuance of the foregone °wan gall the drama of the Miserable' was interdicted, in the ordinary course, on the report of the committee. Thus it appears that the preventive measure was announced on August 12, and the regular interdiction was only intimated on September 13. I do not doubt, for the rest, that the right claimed by the manager of the Ambigu under the above circumstances will be most scrupulously accorded to . _ the authors of the DOW year's reviews who may choose to insist upon it. "Documents and dates prove superabundantly, however, that a preventive measure of interdiction preceded the ex amination of the drama by the committee of censure and its negative conclusion.-1 have the honour, &c., "CEußize How." THE ACCIDENT TO THE GREAT EASTERN. The mammoth ship still lies in Flushing Bay, where the damage sustained by running on a roth off Montauk Point on her last trip to this port is being repaired. We learn that the reports of experienced divers allow that the ship's bottom was opened by the reek along • single line of her outer plate for • distance of several feet. The inner " skin" or hull of the ship was not touched, and remains as dry as on the day of launching, and the vessel could promo& on her voyage across the ocean to-day with more safety than can any vessel having but • single hull. Neverthelees, ber allows and agents are pushing forward her repair by a very simple method, tried once before in Milford Haven with entire success, and which has the entire approbation of dis tinguished American engineers. The mode is euriole and interesting as it is simple. A large scow, with sides of proper height, is preparing to be used as • coffer-dam. It is made to fit the bottom of the vessel at the point of fracture, and its edges are padded so as to close perfectly over any inequalities that may be found upon the hull. At the side of the scow (or coffer-d•m) are two abate or manholes, which will pass up the side of the ship, reaching above the water's edge when It shall have been adjusted to its plan► The scow when sufficiently stink will be floated under the ship's hull, and fastened securely in posi tion by chains hove taut. This done, pumps inserted in the man-boles will free the scow of water, and admit the men sod materials to repair the damage. It is believed there will be no difficulty in making the vessel just as perfect as before she touched the rack. A few days more will give US the moult of the experiment—if that can be called such which hoe already bees *nos immomfally accomplished. In the meantime 'Analog* is being taken of the opportuaity to thoroughly overhaul, paint, and refurnish the Great &stern from stem to stern.—Nets York Times, Sept. 24. 8.L.1 D.

Rattarxi's visit to Paris is announced in se veral quarters to be deferred beyond Oct. 15 ; and it must be considered doubtful, in consequence of the opposition in Italy, on the grounds noticed yes terday, whether it will take place at all. The oonflictiog reports about the Emperor's movements are probably concerted for obvious rea sons. It has been said lately that he would not return from Biarritz till the middle of the month. Now, the almost official rumour is that he will be at St. Cloud on Wednesday night. Orders have been sent to Toulon to ship on board two English transports taken up by the French government one hundred and thirty cannons, with a corresponding quantity of ammu nition, for the purpose of arming two ships of war now in the Gulf of Mexico. Bui lier's Correspon dence, no doubt making a mountain of a molehill, avers that people are " lost in conjectures" as to the object of this armament, and inquires whether it is not in some way connected with President Lincoln's proclamation about the prospective and contingent emancipation of the blacks. The Japanese ambassadors left Paris this morn ing, and, notwithstanding the court mourning in Portugal, have gone to Lisbon as they originally proposal The reckless gambling at the Bourse last week has begun to frighten buyers, and to-day there was so great a disposition to realise profits that the Rents fell 80e. for cash, and 75c. for account, closing at 72fr. 10e. and 72fr. 30e. Mobilier fell 1 75 fr.—a very heavy reaction indeed. The Italian Loan was still more affected, and fell lfr. 80e. In railways comparatively little business was done, and except in one or two instances the changes in quotations are not considerable ; Southern fell 20fr. and Lyons and Northern sfr.esch. Great fluc tuations may be expected at the Bourse in the course of the week. The "bulls" say confidently that the fall is merely organised the better to secure the progress of the rise. A sad accident, and one arising from lamentable carelessness, occurred on the Versailles Railway (right bank) yesterday evening, and spread con sternation in the town. At 7 in the evening, just as a train crowded with Sunday folk was on the point of starting from the Versailles station, it was run into by a train of empty carriages, the driver of which disregarded the signal to stop. Eleven people were injured, some of them seriously. No death is reported. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MOW, °moss' 7. • L. SCOTLAND. W.S.W. to N.N.W., fruit to light, one. to N.

This morning the Congregational Union of Eng land and Wales commenced a three days' conference in tie Weigh-house chapel. Last evening there was a preli re 'miry service in the Poultry chapel, and an address was delivered t tle Rev. W. Guest, of Taunton. He glanced at som e of society in the present day, and deduced lemons =the recent bicentenary celebration. He remarked that the flood of latitudinarianism had assumed portentous ping_ sited., and that it might be doubted whisther there had ever been such a disproportion between the area of the protestant church andthe number of its Christian in ee ,. Revivals of religion which ignored the inspired Mocking of church principles under the idea of a loftier Christianity, and which sent out preachers of meagre Went who despised the past, and imagined themselves the only preachers of the gospel—each revivals would, with all their good, bring serious evils. They would lead to schisms, and to the substitution, in crude teaching, of the unctuousness of speech for righteousness of life. He believed be did not misinterpret the feeling of his brethren in the conclusion that they had not made a mistake in commemorating Bartholomew's Day ; and he censured the evangelical clergy for not taking part in that celeLra tion, which was not one of an anti-state church character. In denouncing the celebration the evangelical clergy had committed a fatal mistake, and in his judgment they : m kt in consequence decline as a party. For the fint tune in 200 years the Puritan element had been silent in the church of England. me evangelical party was a strong one ten years ago ; but its hour, it was to be feared, had gene. On the coniteepfionaiists, therefore, devolved the re sponsibility of • great controversy. High church theories were never peached so widely in England as now; they were not argued nor defended, but everywhere warned. The universities never before sent forth such a succession of men bent on defending them, nor was the heart of the English laity so soundly protestant as it was 25 years ago. Unless the uneven Beal tendencies of the high church theorists were successfully opposed, the protest elitism, the intelligence, and the religion of the country would decline. The doctrinal pert of the controveny should not be subordinated to the political, for by a too prominent attention to the anti-state church question they unneoessarily gave au advantage to the other side. Several other ministers took pert in the service. PROFESSOR t ymoxra ON THE OUTBEZAX OF sMALLPoz is SHEEP. Yesterday afternoon afternoon the introductory address to the forthcoming semion of the Royal Veterinary College, Camden Town, was delivered by Professor Simonds. The Plonisamt observed, that although smallpox in Sheep was a disease unknown during the present generation in this country previous to 1847, it was not uncommon =say of the pest sheep districts on the Continent. In the case of the human smallpox we possessed • simple, efficacious, and an almost altogether harmless means of pre• vention in vaccination ; but vaccination afforded no pro. Victim to sheep. Where the separation of the affected animals from the healthy ones proved insufficient to stay the disease, there remained only inoculation, which he recommended as the most efficacious Edward. The disease bed been introduced by foreign sheep sold in Smithfield Market ; it had 'spread rapidly, and committed frightful ravages in several counties during the years 1847, '4B, and '5O, Sod 1850 the malady had not been heard of among our flocks until July last, when it broke out in Al. lingtoo, near Devises. Neither the shepherds nor the pro. praetors were satisfied as to its real nature until his (the Professor's) aid had been sought, and at that time many animals had been lost. How it was communicated to Sir, Parry's flock was still a mystery, but it quickly spread to neighbouring Boas- 1, and subsequently extended to neigh. botuing conaties. There was good hope—thanks to the preventive measures adopted—that the malady had been stayed in the vicinity when it bad first elbowed ttaelf , but as yet it would be premature to express any decided opinion on the probable further cotes of the outbreak. The nature of the disea s e and the period of the year alike forbade • hasty conclusion. He could not conceal from himself the probe. bility—a probability taught by bitter experience—that the disease might still spread more widely, and that the visitation might ultimately prove as calamitous as in 1847 to IMO. The Professor then at some length die cussed the eoonornial and social aspects of the question. Premising that the value of the flocks of this country amounted to many millions sterling, he said the loss by death ranged from one fifth to one half, or even more, of an infected flock. This, however, was but part of the lose. The farmer had to bear the effects of the disease on the breed ing and rearing of lambs, and the fattening of stock. Then grave as was the sacrifice to individuals, it was not the lea eo to the whole community, who suffered from • diminished 'apply of mutton indite consequent increase in price. The rising of butcher's meat to the extent of a penny or • half• penny in the pound would as surely tell • fatal story in the Registrar-General's returns of mortality. A large portion of our population at the best lived but a shade or two shore the point of donation ; • still larger portion were Mid• ficiently fed, and the outbreak of a malady in sheep might often make the differential element in the outireic or not of epidemic disease among the people. It was from this point of view that they could obtain the most just ideas of the true dignity of veterinary science. It was from this point of view, also, that they obtained the most accurate views of the veterinary practitioner's duties, for it was upon the progress of veterinary science, and the skilful exercise of the veterinary art, that a community had to depend for its chief safety from the evils arising from damns like that which had appeared amongst the flocks of Wiltshire. DEATH OF ALI:CINDER HENRY ESQ.—We regret to announce the death of A. Henry, 4., the had of the old-establiehed business in Portland-street, Manchester, under the firm of A. and 8. Henry and Co., and for several years member of parliament for the southern division of Lancuhire. Mr. Henry, who has been for some yean altogether retired from public life, and fora part of that period suffering under the deprivation of sight, went to Harrogate some months ago, being then in a rery feeble state of health. He continued in much the Mad state daring his stay there. His death took place on Batro day last, more from an eahaustion of nature than the result of any particular illness. He had attained to the venerable age of 79 years. We believe that Mr. Henry's remains edits removed to Hamburger for interment lt will be ream bayed by many of oar readers that, at the general election in 1847, the Hoe. Charier P. Villiers was elected, aloes with Mr. William Brown, for the division of South Lin. eashire. As Mr. Villiers bad been also elected for Wolrer• hampton, for which be bed sat many years, that gentleman felt constrained to sit for his old seat rather than for the county ; and, when parliament met at the close of the yea, he intimated his choice, and a new writ being at cone issued for South Lancashire, the free-traders met, ad unanimously chose Mr. Henry as a fit successor to Mr. Villiers. Mr. Henry represented the division until tie general election in 1852, when, owing to his *dune* years, he retired, being succeeded by the late hest:ads member, Mr. John Chatham. WHOLNIIALZ MUNICIPAL DINFRANCHIEOINVit•— At a court of assessioo held yesterday at Wolsettiareptoefer the revision of the burgesses' roll, nearly 3,000 memo of persona, tenants of homes, the rates for which are mid by composition by the landlords, were struck off the roll. The Small Tenements Act, by which the municipal as well u the parochial electoral rights of such indirect ratepayers era preserved to them, does not extend to Wolverhampton, wherein the composition of rates had teen previously pro. sided for by • local act, wherein the tensots' partenol, elcctond rights only are preserved to them. By th e courts, d Mr. H. Underhill, who appeared in support of the obre• tions, Mr. 8.. Sidney, a retired linendraper sod • popular raw:ober of the board of guardians, was allowed to 14" from the fact that the local act was obtained previous to Me incorporation of the borough that it we. intended to Er serve all the electoral rights of such persona; but Mr. t r dsrbill stated that the restriction to parochial electoral eighth was an amendment to the original bill that ma to dated upon by the House of Lords when the bill vu passed in 1847. The amerces decided that the objectioo was fatal, and *tick off all the cams so objected to yr. Sidney ssid this daisies would be appealed against to the Court of Queen's Bench, where the question would no raised by an application for a mandamus. About hall s dose °sly of the persona objected to were present, and Ms preosediup, though generally known, did not 'ppm to excite the slightest general interest.
