BETWEZY the fact that Mr. JAMES STEPHMIS has quitted New York and the inference that he has entered Ireland, or is on his way thither, there is a moral gulf as wide as the Atlantic, or wider. What au enthusiast like the Head Centre may or may not have dared is of course beyond the computation of sane minds. Confident in the infallibility of his own plans, and in the secrecy of his confederates —encouraged not merely by the facilii,y of his escape from prison, but by the ease with which he evaded the officers of detection who were on the watch for him at every port and creek—he may believe himself as inapprehensible by mortal sense and the Bri tish constabulary as if he were clothed in the friendly cloud in which the Gods of Olympus veiled their favourite heroes. This is just possi ble. But MT, STEPHENS is not only an impulsive fanatic ; he is au astute conspirator ; and there is more craft, possibly, than daring in his embar kation from New York. If he have left that city, it does not follow that he is bound for Ireland. To lead the police and the Fenians to believe that he is there might answer his purpose. To set the constabulary on a false track, to make them watch vigilantly at the doors of loyal and respect able householders, and dog and arrest innocent tra vellers, and at the same time to inspire his followers with a feeling that he was among them, undis covered and tmdiscoverable, might not be bad tactics. 'Whether this lino of action, or the more perilous one of actually returning to Ireland, is the course which Mr. STEPHENS has adopted we do not venture to decide. In the absence of any' means of deternnining if craft or courage pre domi- ' nates in his character, his probable conduct can' only be guessed at. In moat fanatics, political and religious, the enthusiast blends with the , trickster ; and which, at any given moment, will gain the ascendant it would be difficult or im-1 possible to foretell. Whether Mr. STEPHENS is coining or not, he will presently be believed to be ' in Ireland ; and his rumoured arrival will be more dangerous even than his real presence. It may be possible to light against and capture a person ; but a shadow and a belief can not so easily be overcome. But in any case the business of coercion and subjugation cannot last long; and when it is over the old problem will begin, How is England to govern Ireland ? Can England govern Ireland ? What are the faults or mistakes which have left us in 1866 no further advanced towards a good understanding and a moral union than we were in 1848, or still earlier ? It is idle to lay the blame on the incor rigibility of the Celtic race. To do so is only to proclaim our permanent unfitness to rule races alien from our own, and to justify the separatists. It is useless to rely simply on suppression. We have been at that work for generations and cen turies, and it has left only further uprisings to suppress. For this part of their duties, Lord Assiteolirf and Lord NAAS will, we dare say, be sufficient. But beyond arming the police with breech-loaders, and despatching regiment after regiment to Ireland, have Ministers any policy ? Echoing a phrase of Mr. DISRAELI'S, which, being interpreted, expressed only the intentions of the present Government to carry out a project of their predecessors, and to propose a vote for Irish rail ways, Lord ABERCORN has intimated that the grand panacea for Irish distress is to prevent fur ther emigration. He has expressed the satisfaction with which he observes that the ugly rush of the nation from the laud of its birth is slackening. Last quarter, the emigrants were fewer by eight thousand, or nearly a third, than in the corres ponding period of the previous year. At this Lord ABERCORN lifts up his voice in thanksgiving. But has he ascertained for what purpose these eight thousand have stayed at home On which side, in the impending trouble, are their sympathies enlisted ? Are they contented with Ireland as it is, or do they expect to see before Christmas the beginning of a new era in Ireland ? Numbers of Irishmen are returning from America ; but Lord ABER(7OIIN does not express any enthusiasm at their arrival, and is, indeed, very properly pre paring for them a welcome which is not likely to attract other exiles back to their native shores. The fact is indisputable, that whether they stay with us or go from us, the mass of the Irish na tion are dangerous to the Empire. They will be so so long as large reforms are delayed. It may be that the present generation is irreconcileable ; and that the best mea sures will bear fruits only in the future. But the slower a remedy is in operation the more urgent is th 4 necessity of beginning in time. The history of tie past fifteen years shows that the heart of a nation is not to be won by THE .

Divorced from the soil, and with the memorials of conquest and oppression before them in the alien church established in every parish, the Irish, even with higher wages, feel themselves strangers at home. Their allegiance is not given to the institutions and the social order around them. The absurd plea is sometimes advanced that since the Fenian aim at revolution, reform would be useless ; as though the delay or denial of reform were not the strongest incentive to revolution, and to refuse just claims the surest way of provoking monstrous pretensions. We do not wish to prejudge the present Ministry ; but we have still to wait for the first indication of any perception on its part that the permanent paci fication of Ireland requires the frank abandonment and complete reversal of the policy of ecclesias tical ascendancy and territorial monopoly in Ire land.

HUNGARY. PESTH. Nov. 28. The Left has agreed in principle that the Hun garian Diet shall vote an address in reply to the royal rescript, provided the address states that the Diet will suspend its labours until a constitutional state of things is re-established in Hungary. A Florence letter of the 24th, in the Moniker, says : The King was present last evening at the performance in the Pergola Theatre ; the house was lighted a giorno. His Majesty was received with tremendous applause, which was twice renewed when the Princes entered. General Fleury was present in the box of the Baroness de Malaret. In the afternoon a banquet was given by the municipality of Florence to the Podesta of Venice, Count Giustiniani, in the great room of the Casino Borghese. In addition to the members of the municipal and provincial deputations, and of the committee of the Club, the follow ing were a mong the guests :—Count d'Usedotn, Minister Plenipotentiary to the King of Prussia ; Baron de Malaret, French Minister ; Mr. Elliot, English minister ; General La Marmon, the Marquis de Brume, &c. The Piussian Minister, replying to a toad. acknowledge the agreeable surprise which the honourable syndic has given me ; and I ask permission toexpress a wish. One of our poets desired that Italy were lees beautiful or more powerful ; we have now reached the happy period when Italy may be more beautiful and stronger than aver. I propose the toast of " Italy — ltaly more powerful and more beautiful." Deputy Miami afterwards said—l have asked and obtained permission from the honourable president to say a few words. Gentlemen, I invite you to join with me in discharging a debt of gratitude and affection. I ask yon to cry Vivat '. to the l'rosperity of the city of Turin, that city which has served as country to every illustrious Italian, when Italians bad no country; to the city of Turin, the cradle of our dynasty, the birth place of Vin cenzo Gioberti, of Cesare Balbo, of Massimo d'Azeglio, of Count Cavour, and numerous others, whom time does not permit me to mention ; to the city of Turin, in which, for the space of ten years, at the cost of great sacrifices and with an admirable perseverance, was kept alive the I sacred fire of the national idea. In raising the about of " Turin for ever !" we cry, "Civic virtue for ever !" " Long live the cultivation of great ideas and great principles !" Genuine cordiality prevailed at this banquet, and Count Giustiniani was the object of the most friendly attention on the part of aIL MR. STANSFELD, ALP., ON REFORM. Amongst the letters of apology for non-atten dance - at the recent reform banquet, in Manchester, was one from Mr. Stansfeld, M.l'. In coneerrence f the length of the programme the reading of this and al l other letters of apology was dispensed with. Mr. Stansfeld's letter is subjoined : "Moorlands, Halifax, Nov. 19, 1866. " Dear Mr. Wilson,—lt is with great regret that I find myself, at the last moment, compelled by indisposition to absent myself from the Manchester Reform Banquet and Conference of to-morrow and to-day. It is the same cause only which has prevented me from attending any one of those great meetings which at Birmingham, Leeds, Man- cheater, Glasgow, and elsewhere have conclusively refuted the charge of political indifference which had been brought against the masses of the people. I should have felt no difficulty in attending any one of those meetings. I think it right to take this opportunity of saying so distinctly. The cry of manhood suffrage as an ultimate object and as a natural right would not have deterred me. The demands of those great meetings have, indeed, been thus wide, but who can have failed to remark the readiness—admirable in its common sense and moderation—which has been invariably shown to receive with corfldenoe and with favour—without seeking in any way unduly to commit them—all those in whose good-will and sincerity the people believed, however clear it might be that their views of what was possible or of what was desirable in a practical measure of reform would fall far short of the principles which those meetings proclaimed. I confess that I felt honoured by being invited in such a spirit and on such terms as then ; and had I been able to attend, I would have sought to meet the trust thus shown in the beet way, by the frankest speech. Your meeting is of a different order, you are about to hold common counsel, in the words of your summons, 'on the beet course to be taken (with reference to the question of reform) in order to support the liberal party in the House of Commons, and on the means necessary for carrying on the agitation riming the winter. ' Let mo then, before I conclude, say at least one word on the future policy of reformers in the house. I think our course is clear. We have heard something lately about the duty of fair play to the present administration, in any attempt which they may make to deal with the question of reform. I am for fair play ; but the fair play which I hold is before all else needful to secure, is fair play, not to any party, but to this great question of reform itself. Speaking for myself alone, if a bill is brought in which, however moderate, is straightforward, and which, without trick, without party purpose or device, shall pro pose in some measure to do that which I desire, viz-, to Omit to some real shale of power, and of consequent re sponsibility, the working population of our towns, I, for one, regardless of its source, will accept it in principle, and endeavour to amend rather than to defeat it in detail. But if that bill—if bill there be—should be a tortuous measure, keeping the word of promise to our ear to break it to our hope,' my voice would be for its rejection as an unfit basis and starting point for legislation on this great question, which, of all others, requires to be dealt with in since'ity of purpose and with good faith.—l am, dear Mr. Wilson, yours truly. " J. STANNFELI), Jun. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) NOV - IEIIIIER 28, 8 A.N. CAUSE AND EFFECT. (From the Daily Ilcus.) THE letter of " Inquirer" which we printed on Monday has called forth the following statement, which appeared yesterday in the Alorniav Herald : We are authorised to state that the question of the Alabama claims has been recently revived by the United States representative in this country in the moat cooed liatory and friendly tone. The subject is now under the consideration of the Cabinet. This is so far satisfactory, and confirms our correspondent's information. " Inquirer," how ever, is still inquisitive, and writes—" I should have been glad if it had been convenient to the Foreign-office to indicate the time of the revival of this question a little more definitely. According to a nice calculation that has been shown to me, it must have been about a fortnight before the Times (Oct. 4) proceeded ' with some confidence to invite Lord STANLEY'S attention to a diffe rence of long standing between England and the United States,' and ventured to submit' that no better time could be selected for recon sidering the Alabama's case than the present.' " Our correspondent is really getting too curious, and we cannot encourage him to expect the further gratification of his eager thirst for knowledge. Vie Court. WINDSOR CASTLE. Nov. 27. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian, walked and drove yesterday afternoon. Her Majesty, with Princess Louise, drove out this morning, attended by the Hon. Flora Macdonald. Prince and Princess Christian drove to Kew. and visited the Duchess of Cambridge and the Prince and Princess of Teck. The Duke of Edinburgh, attended by Lieutenant Haig, also visited the Duchess and the Prince and Princess, and after wards went to London. Princess Beatrice drove out. Prince Leopold, attended by Mr. Said rand Mr. Legg, went to London last evening, and was present at a concert at St. Jamea's-ball. His Royal Highness afterwards returned to Windsor Castle. A deputation from the president and fellows of Sion College, consisting of the Rev. W. ('. F. Webber (presi dent), the Rev. W. Rogers, the Rev. R. S. Bower, the Rev. M. Gibbs, the Rev. F. S.

Walpole, at the Home-office yesterday, to present a memorial on the state of the dwellings of the poor in the metropolis, and to ask for legislative remedies. A deputation from the parish of Hammersmith, consist ing of the Rev. J. Connell, M.A. (the vicar), the Rev. W. G. Cookealey, M.A. (incumbent of St. Peter's), Mr. W. Morison and Mr. G.

Downs, and Mr. T. D. 'Tully, accompanied by Mr. James Parker (vestry clerk), had an interview with tho Right Hon. Spencer H. Walpole, at the Home-office yesterday, to pre sent memorials against the proposed cemetery for Hammer. smith in the parish of Fulham. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat 'rester. day. The lords present were Lord Justice Turner, Sir E. V. Williams, Sir J. Colvile, and Sir Laurence l'eel. The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Disraeli left town yesterday for Stratlifialdaaye, on a visit to tho Duke of Wellington. CABINET COUNCIL. —There will be a Cabinet Council to-morrow afternoon at the First Lord of the Treasury's official residence in Downing-street, at half- past 3 o'clock. The Duke of Devonshire is entertaining a select party at Chatsworth, Derbyshire. The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury have left town for Savernake Park, near Marlborough. Mr. Richard Malins, Q.C., and late M.P. fur Wallingford, has been appointed Vice• Chancellor, the vacancy having been caused by the resignation of the Right lion. Sir Richard T. Kinderaley. An admiral's good service pension is at the dis- posal of the First Lord of the Admiralty, by Admiral Sir I'hipps Hornby, G.C.8., becoming rear admiral of the United Kingdom. Lady Herbert appeals, through the columns of the Times, for subscriptions on behalf of the Franciscan Fathers of Jerusalem, to a home she says the custody of the Holy Places throughout the Holy Land has been en trusted for more than six centuries. At this moment, from the disturbed state of Italy, and the disastrous war in Germany, their usual resources have well nigh failed. " To Englishmen in Jerusalem," says her ladyship, " one thing is very painful—that among the different nations of Christendom who yearly contribute to the maintenance of the pilgrims and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre England alone has done nothing." Lady Herbert con eludes by mentioning the names of various Roman cathi'lic dignitaries, by whom subscriptions will be received. It appears from a letter from the secretary to the Bishop of Oxford that the photograph described by "S. G. 0.," was a portrait of Bishop Wilberforce. "It Was taken." he says, " at the solicitation of friends, who suggested the introduction of the pastoral staff, while the posture of the bishop, which my lord satirises, is sim_ ply that which every bishop occasionally assumes when pronouncing a blessing." The secretary has " one word in conclusion." It is as follows :—" I would kindly (he writes) remind Lord Godolphin Osborne of what the late Lord Melbourne called him—' a disappointed, popularity hunting parson.' " Lord Redesdale, writing on the affairs of com panies which have practically become bankrupt, says " I object to these companies being allowed to bring in bills providing new law for themselves, differ ing probably in each case, to be referrel, perhaps, to different committees, who may not agree in their conclusions,. and award different measures of justice. I object to creditors being subjected to the expense of resisting arrangements formed by the bankrupts for their own advantage ; and I hold that all these settlements should be effected under one general law, applied im partially to all such concerns, and that it is the duty of government to introduce a bill for that purpose as soon as parliament meets." THE EXHIBITION WEEK IN BIBMINOHAM.—The annual exhibitions in Birmingham take place in the course of the ensuing week, the private view both in Bingley Hall and Curzon Hull being fixed for Monday next, the 3rd of December. The show in Bingley Hall will this year lose what has hitherto formed one of the most important divisions, in the absence of the cattle classes, the Privy Council having felt compelled to withhold the requisite license. The entries of sheep and pigs are most satisfac tory. There will be a large collection of agricultural implementa and machinery, and a good show of roots, grain, &c. With regard to the prospects of the exhibition of dogs, the entries exceed in number those of last year ; all the leading breeds will be well represented, and there will be a marked improvement in the fittings and general arrangements. The Courrier do Dar announces the arrest of M. Darque, ex-director of the Comptoir-d'Escompte des Landes, declared bankrupt in June last. He was brought to Mont-de-Marson three days back, and after undergoing an interrogatory, was ordered to be kept in confinement. One of his clerks has also been taken into custody, under charge of having been implicated in the frauds charged against the other prisoner. The Phare de la Loire confirms a rumour which has been noticed in the London pawns relative to the freighting of the Great Eastern, during the Exhibition of 1867, by a French company, and states that the head of the enterprise is 13. Despeche, of Nantes. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE POSTAGE RATES TO FRANCE. The Post points out the anomalies and inconve nience of the rate of postage between this country and France. Owing to the difference between the two stan dards a letter weighing anything between 7 . 086 grammes and 7'50 grammes is chargeable with just twice as much postage in London as it is in Paris. Such a letter if posted and paid for in Paris would cost 4d., and if posted un paid would, on arriving in London, pay 101., or four times as much. 0, on the other hand, it were posted and paid for in London, the cost would be Bd., and if posted un. paid, it would on arriving in Paris pay Bd., or precisely the same sum. A penalty in the shape of increased charge is always supposed to be inflicted for the omission to prepay letters, but in the instances re ferred to it is levied in a singular way ; for it appears that, while a penalty of four times the oliginal postage is indeed inffic'ed on the French, no penalty at all is inflicted on the English. The French office, it appears, has offered to abandon altogether the two standards of oz. and 71 grammes, end to adopt a common standard of 10 grammes. The English office met this by a proposition to double the standards on both sides, the effect of which, would, of course, have been to double the difference between them, and consequently to double the difficulty and disadvantage under which the French now labour. The only modification of this proposal to which it would consent was that the French should be allowed to write to the ex tent of 10 grammes and the English to the extent of ioz., or nearly half as much again. Since the rejection of these two schemes, the matter appears to have been relegated into sleep, but it is too important to be allowed to remain in a state of official coma much longer. This much at least is clear, says the Post, that any day the English office chooses to consent, the weight of letters to and from France will be raised from loz. to 10 grammes, or upwards of 33 per cent, awl no good reason has yet been given for withholding that consent. THE YENIANS. ...- Observing that the effect would be most pernicious if by any fault of the executive a oompauionate sympathy with the Fenian. were awakened in this country, the Daily News adds the remark that if anything could conduce to such a result it would be such a dereliction of duty, such an indulgence of military license, as the Times fore shadowed and almo,t invited yesterday in an article on this subject. That a stern repression of rebellion will prove the truest mercy all Englishmen believe, but the Daily News protests against predictions which assume that our soldiers cannot be sent to put down insurrection without showing them selves demons in human shape. Let no incipient Brand or Ramsay imagine as be reads these incitements that be is free to repeat the devilry of Jamaica or Delhi in Ireland. Governments exist for the very purpose of repreuiug evil, and if they cannot restrain the passions of their su bordinates they are governments only in name. The sug gestion that the present government will be unable to put down Feoianiam without turning Ireland into a Pande monium is wanton and injurious. The Post tells the disaffected in Ireland that they may see what they have to expect if they are led into insur rection, if they will look into the proceedings of the loyal- lets in 1798-99. The yeomanry were numerous, power ful, and, as Lord Cornwallis said, " ferocious." Long after the rebellion bad been stamped out, the work of hanging, shooting, and burning went on in spite of every effort on the part of the government to prevent it. That which was compressed into weeks in Jamaica during the late outbreak spread over mouths, anti Ireland, to quote the words of its Lord Lieutenant at the time, was subjected to a tyranny as intolerable as that of Robespierre. 'rho vilest informers were hunted out of the prisons, and the lives of suspected persons were sacri ficed on barefaced perjury. Such is the historical picture, and we must not conceive that the feelings which it re veals are sensibly modified. When men are called upon to fight for their existence they recognise the necessity, and act upon it without considering clemency. To-day, the Telegraph says, the 2Sth Regiment will leave Aldershot for Ireland, and to-morrow the relnd Light In. fantry will follow. With Mr. Stephens and his coadjutors England might well leave the present Commander-in-Chief in Ireland to deal ; for the stern warrior who is still best re membered as Sir Hugh Rose has a striking talent for the suppression of revolt. But the suppression of Fenian out breaks is one thing, anti the government of Ireland is another. We owe it to our loyal fellow-subjects across St. George's Channel, as weowe it to ourselves,to strengthen the party of order and weaken that of revolution in Ire land by courageous legislation applied to the retirees of admitted grievances ; and no sudden fever-fit, either of panic or of wrath, should make us forgetful of this solemn duty. TRADE AND SPECULATION. The slackness of trade of which, according to the I ' every man of business complains is due. I it thinks, to commercial disasters like that of I the fall of Overend, Gurney, and Co. The terror of Black Friday was due immediately to their suspension ; the depression of trade which has lasted ever since has been occasional, more than by any other cause, by the total derangement of commercial life following the abrupt termination of their business. The failure of that firm was due to mismanagement so gross as to be almost incredible. The active partners and directors, being once in difficulty, rushed blindly into deeper depths, threw good money after bad, played double or quits with Fate, and, in fact, forgot their position a: the rulers of one of the greatest of London houses to act as the most reckless of players act at Homburg or Baden. The Times is glad to find that the debenture holders of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway shrink from MO extreme a measures as the sale of the line. The matter for them to consider is one of common sense and commercial discretion ; it is whether the property of the company might not be so improved by the proposed outlay upon it as to render the second claims upon it in its developed condition more valuable than the first claims are now. There is certainlyno harm in inquiry, presuming that any remains to be learnt, but mere feeling should have no place in questions of this kind. The object is simp l y 1 , to make the best of a bad job. NIRCELLAI EOCB TOPIC?. The Standard says there is an impassable gulf between the trade societies and the rest of the people on the i subject of reform. The unions have made up their minds that they require just that kind of reform which will con vert all England into a trades union, and the only pos sible lesson they can teach us by their meeting on Monday is to let us know precisely what is the force of this par ticular danger which the true reformer has to enoounter. The Times thinks there is every reason to believe that Mr. Matins, the new vice-chancellor, will make a satisfac tory judge. His promotion has been well earned by a long and honourable professional life, and he will begin his new career with the good-will of the bar and the con fidence of the suitors. He will succeed one of the soundest lawyers of the time. The Herald understands that after anxious and mature consideration, the government has been advised to ac- SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 28.

CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT KING'S LYNN, A dinner took place in the Music-hall of the Athenaeum, King's Lynn, on Monday night, with the double ob ject of celebrating the return of two conservatives fur one of the wards at the municipal election, and of forming a local constitutional association for the borough. There were about 350 persons present, the dinner being supplied at the cheap price of half-a-crown, including wine, the deficiency being made up by a subscription amongst the conservative party. Mr. Alderman Moyse occupied the chair, and WAS supported by Mr. W. Bagge and Mr. T. de Grey, the two conservative members for West Norfolk ; Sir George Jenkinson, Bart. ; Mr. A. Goldamid, the conservative candidate for Norwich at the general election of 1865, and by a number of the leading gentlemen of the town professing conservative opinions. THE PERPETUAL CURATE'S WIFE. It is de clared that a good wife is a crown to her husband, but Mrs. Crawley had been much more than a crown to him. As had regarded all the inner life of the man—all that portion of his life which had not been passed in the pulpit or in pastoral teaching—she had been crown, throne, and sceptre all in one. That she had endured with him and on his behalf the miseries of poverty, and the troubles of a life which bad known no smiles, is perhaps not to be alleged as much to her honour. She had joined herself to him for better or worse, and it was her manifest duty to bear such things ; wives always have to bear them, knowing when they marry that they must take their ch a nce. Mr. Crawley might have been a bishop, and Mrs. Crawley, when she married him, perhaps thought it probable that such would be his fortune. Instead of that he was now, just as he was approaching his fiftieth year, a perpetual curate with an income of one hun dred and thirtypounds per annum—and a family. That had been Mrs. Crawley's luck in life, and of course she bore it. But she had also done much more than this. She had striven hard to be contented, or, rather, to appear to be contented, when be had been nest wretched and most moody. She had struggled to conceal from him her own conviction as to his half insanity, treating him at the same time with the respect due to an honoured tither of a 1 family, and with the careful measured indulgence fit 1 for a sick and wayward child. In all the terrible troubles of their hie her courage had been higher than his. The metal of which she was made had been tempered to a steel which was very rare and fine, but the rareness and fineness of which be had failed to appreciate. He bad often sold her that she was without pride, because she bad stooped to receive from others, on firs behalf and on behalf of her children, things which were very needful, but which she could not buy. He had told her that she was a beggar, and that it was better to I starve than to beg. She had borne the rebuke without a word in reply, and had then begged again for him, and had endured the starvation herself.

A communique to the Liberte and Gazette dc France replies to the article of the Vigie of Cher bourg (noticed in this correspondence yesterday) —which asserted that sufficient transport accom modation was not provided for the troops coming home from Mexico. The gist of the official com munication is that although economy has been consulted in the arrangements the comfort of the soldier is sufficiently provided for. It says : The information of the Vigie of Cherbourg is incorrect. No doubt the marine department is doing its best to re strict the expenses of the service it is called upon to per form within the limits of strict necessity, but it never thought of crowding such an extraordinary number of men on board the transports as the Vigie states. This department has always endeavoured, so far as its power extends, to ensure all desirable comfort for troops on a voyage, and it will not change its practice on the occasion of the return of our troops from Mexico. The traverse contained in the above arntmu 'aqui; is far too general to be a satisfactory reply to the charge made. The Vigie gives a list of the ships under orders to bring home troops from Mexico, and the numbers of men that are expected to come home in them. The " communicated " contradiction says that there is " exaggeration " in the numbers mentioned, but gives no details to show the extent of the exaggeration. It does not say how many vessels are going out, or how many men are coming home, so as to give the public an oppor tunity of verifying the strictures of the Vigie, but merely gives the French " Admiralty" a good char racter. M. Chevreau, the only second in the late fatal duel between M. Sequin and Lieutenant Lecca, of the Zouaves, who was a civilian, has been re lieved from the prosecution by a mile pro sequi entered by the judge of instruction charged with the case, on the ground that although per sonally present during the encounter he had not taken any such part in bringing it about, either by providing arms or otherwise, as the law takes notice of ; on the contrary, he did all he could to prevent the duel. The ordinary courts of law have now done with the matter, and M. Lecca will be tried, if at all, by a court martial. The death is announced in Belgium of M. Servals, the eminent violinist, just at the moment when a new performer, who is said to have eclipsed not only him but all other fore goers, has made his appearance in Paris. M. Joachim, a German, came out the night before last at M. Pasdeloup's popular concerts, and according to all accounts, drove the audience into tits of enthusiasm by his performance of a concerto of Mendelsohn's. All the critics who have as yet expressed an opinion on the performance arc perfectly wild in his favour, and say that he is beyond all question " the greateat " violinist ever seen. _ _ The Bourse, though tolerably firm, did not maintain the rise of yesterday.
