As the time draws near for the return of the French army from Mexico, it is natural that in creased attention should be given to the steps taken by the Emperor MAXIMILIAN to adapt his position to his new circumstances. We have heard for some months past of the extensive movements which have taken place among the French troops, in accordance with the plan of concen tration adopted by Marshal BAZAINE, as a prelimi nary of his embarkation, and of the celerity with which the positions he evacuates are occupied by the Imperialist troops. In the New York journals and telegrams these operations are reported in the form of victories gained by the Mexicans over the French ; but their real character is not to be mis taken. The Mexicans have learnt something from their contact with the French during the last three years ; they have learrt to understand the force of national sentiment by observing how invariably their antagonists prefer death to consenting to the dishonour of their flag. They have also learned how much discipline increases efficiency, enabling a handful of well-trained troops to disperse a raging mob of armed men, soldiers only in name. But they have not yet learned to stand up against an equal, or nearly equal, force of Frenchmen. Wherever they have met the latter, except with such superiority of numbers as placed comparison altogether out of the question, they have been badly beaten. American and European observers, moat friendly to the republican cause, report that the notion of the Mexicans having driven the French before them is utterly absurd. The concentration o: troops has taken place in perfect order, although here and there an active Mexican general has been able to interpose between the first and last portions of a retiring garrison, and so snap up a few belated soldiers. When first the Emperor MaximmiaN learned the failure of all the endea vours of his Consort to shake the resolution of the French EMPEROR to abandon him, he was disposed to renounce the mission in Mexico which he had taken up at the instance of his powerful patron. By what means he was induced to forego this reso lution we are not informed, but he has since pub licly stated that he will never abdicate, but remain and fulfil his duties. He has, however, perceived that he can only maintain himself in Mexico as master of a small portion of its territory, and on condition of leaving many of its provinces in a I state of hostile independence. Strongly posted in the city of Mexico, he may send telegrams like that of September ,27, asserting that " an excellent spirit " prevails among all classes in Mexico,"as long as he can maintain his communications with Vera Cruz. wins it was not to and one more to the rival factions of the country that LI went to Mexico, and it is probable that he would los,' less in the opinion of Europe by actual abdication than by consenting to reign over a fraction of his former empire, and maintaining but a precarious hold even of that. In such a position he cannot fulfil the engagement which his Government entered into with that of France, nor f to e ull r A faction of other foreign th, duties of protection to their citns y ex' pact of the ruler of Mexico. Nearly all our French contemporaries are urging his return to Europe, perceiving, as they do, that his presence there can only be attended with discredit to a cause with which the name of France is intimately associated. On personal grounds his return is especially de sirable. By an act of unspeakable folly committed last autumn, he placed himself on a level with the worst of the native guerilla Generals opposed to him, and almost made their brigandage respect able by comparison . On the 2 nd of October, 1865, he issued a proclamation officially announcin' g that Don Bernie Jusazz had quitted Mexican territory, yielding to the national will ; that the struggle had thus lost its political character ; that the Government was from that time only op posed by gangs of criminals and bandits, and that, strong in its power, it would be inflexible in its punishment of the latter, in order that the laws of civilization, property, and m orality might be upheld. This proclamation was succeeded, on the following day, by a sanguinary decree, in the fifteen articles of which the most vigorous measures were denounced against parties taken in arms. All persona found violating those I a rticles were to be instantly tried by I court martial, and if convicted, were to be sentenced within twenty-four hours. Ten days afterwards the Republican Army of the Centre, the best disciplined force at the disposal of JUAREZ, sustained a severe defeat, and its General ARTEAGA and General &aim were summarily shot, together with several Republican colonels, although by that time MAXIMILIAN'S Government must have become aware that its decree had been framed under false reports as to the abandonment of the Republican cause by Juanzz. Since that tragical occurrence the cause of MAximisrarr has steadily declined, while that of the Republic has steadily acquired strength. General Aaresos was a brave soldier, a true patriot, and a man of unblemished probity. His comrades have sworn to avenge his death, a vow which they can . never fulfil while a French army guards Maximusies throne, but which they are very likely to attempt if he re mains behind when it is gone. On every account it would be better for the Pantos to return with his protectors. Whatever hope of being useful to Mexico he might once have indu'ged sr .rat now be at an end, while the inteir.nts of the Impe rial Austrian dynasty urgently require ni: pre sence at Vienna, from which capital we shall soon expect to hear of him, his recent declarations to the contrary notwithstanding. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. MS TOPICS. (THIS DAY.) tours BISMARCK AND 71111 RZORGANISATION OF OZRMANY. Commenting on the protest of the legislative bodies and people of Frankfort against the annexation of that city, the Times remarks that in the opinion of the inhabitants of the imperial city Count Bismarck has either done too much or too little. They were willing to worl d°s their traditions and institutions for national unity, but not for the aggrandisement of the Prussian monarchy. Count Bismarck may not have been equal to the position in which his abilities and fortune placed him. In the estima tion of the Frankforters it might have been easy for him to go back to the scheme of 1848, proclaim German unity, and associate the South no leas than the North of the Fatherland to common destinies, in which event the im. pedal city would have been fain to merge her own separate existence in the broad tide of national life. But, in order that Count Bismarck should pitch his aspirations as high as these tout-ou-rien patriots suggest, it would have been necessary for him to grasp at once all the complete_ nass of his victory at Sadowa, the suddenness of Austria' s collapse, and the unaccountable panic and bewilderment in all the European councils consequent upon that astounding success. He was, however, a statesman rather than a patriot, a gambler rather than an enthusiast. He acted upon calculation rather than faith, and it seemed to him that he had carried a great point when he had ousted Austria, and reserved to himself full control over Germany. Austria, although prostrate, was not annihilated ; France, though perplexed, was not paralysed ; Europe, though stunned, was not persuaded. Bismarck, who had obtaincd so much, could not venture on demanding too much. Had he put forth a scheme for a German empire ; had he claimed the south no less than the north, and insisted on the unity of the whole country ; had be at once and rudely rejected France and Austria's plea for Saxony, and Rua. sia's for Darmstadt, he might have conjured up a storm which all the support of German patriotiun would hardly have enabled hum to weather. The work of Bismarck, as we now see it, might have been neater ; but the end is not yet, and we already hear that the northern parliament will at its first sitting proclaim William I. Emperor of Germany. v &y g e s m vithoutl i ki e tf, talk that Mot has th! in t ny fsq , nor/ j : i but if had sat , o*.' 'ffio "Ifilfo r e of a - oocor•aw embracing shareholders, debenture hold ; l • rd con tractors, all occupying independent posit has been completely opposed to the actual history of the company. Sir Morton Peto and Co. not only constructed the works but ",financed " the company itself, and some ides of the results may be formed from the fact that whereas the com pany claims a considerable balance due from the con , tractors, the contractors claim a balance due from the company of very nearly 400,0001. The directors are, ob serves the Times, acquitted even by indignant shareholders from any worse blame than blindness, three er four controlling spirits having led them as they pleased. It cannot be said that the contractors charged the company an unfair price for the works performed, but it is plain that if they had chosen to do so there was nothing to pre cast them. The Daily News, adverting to the plea of the directors that they bad relied too much on their officers, contends that it is absolutely untenable. They appear to have thought that the board of a public company had few other duties than that of formally approving and registering the suggestions of their manager or secretary. The borrowing i OIL share capital on which not a shilling bad been paid, was discreditable to all concerned, although Sir Morton Peto saw nothing reprehensible in it. Notwithstanding, however, the enormous amount of error and extravagant , e which has characterised the management, the Daily News does not despair of the future of the line, and it refers to the history of the Caledonian line, whose stock was at one time almost worthies, but is now above par, as affording ground for hope that with more capable and vigilant management, and such changes as may be found of neces sity in the staff, the past will teach its lesson usefully, and that we shall see this great undertaking shortly enter upon a new and ultimately prosperous career. In an article relating to the Indian famine, titer noticing the immense advantage afforded in this cue by telegraphic communication, the Tiss •s observes that wheat a direct appeal has been made to the English public by the Indian viceroy and the chairman of the Calcutta committee, the natural impulse would be to respond at once by • liberal subscrip tion. But Lord Crsnborne has promptly taken a step which renders this unnecessary. By telegraphing to Sir John Lawrence to advance money from the government funds freely and immediately he Ism taken on himself the responsibility of prot :ding for the necessity of the case, • public subscription is of course superfluous. Our contemporai adds that the governmentof India, u the great landlord of the country, stands in sueh a relation to its poorer subjects which imposes on it in a peculiar degree the duty of protecting them. The people of India may be assured that, should the necessity arise, the English public v.:II be ready to subscribe any amount of money that may be re quired. In alluding to the remarks of Lord Shaftesbury recently made at Manchester on the factory Acts, the Post dwells at some length on the difficulties which beset the working Of the law, and expresses a fear that the stern logic of facts will be found against his lordship. The question of inspection is one of so much cost and effi ciency that the government would probably like to know whether the present arrangement is the one best calcu lated to produce efficient results. The districts of the in spectors are so arranged that everybody seems to cross everybody else's territory. There are too many inspec tors and sub-insp.:eters, and the time is come for • change. Referring to the visit of English volunteers to Brus sels, the Herald sap it is a testimony to the almost affec tionate sentiment which unites the nations of England and Belgium, and it recommends the riflemen to remember the saying of the first Napoleon that in the possession of France, Antwerp would always be a loaded pistol directed at the heart of England. The conclusion of the harvest forms the bas;s of an -- - article in the Telegraph. It thinks that the average prices of grain will be higher than last year. As a set-off,, we have ample reserves of food for cattle, and should there be no return of the plague we shall find some compensation for the deficiency of cereals. At the worst there is no fear of real scarcity. French buyers may come to our markets, and purchase to their satisfaction and our profit ; both nation' may compete in the great corn-producing regions bordering on the Baltic and the Black Seas ; but there will still be plenty for Liverpool has long sighed, remarks the Star, to be a " financial centre," but has always sighed in vain. The story of Barned's bank is cited as affording an illustration of this. As to the legal point raised by the shareholders, it is remarked that it is one of vital interest, and will doubtless be discuszed before the courts in a manner which will severely test the veracity of Mr. Emanuel's statement. DEATH OF THE DEAN OF NORWICH.—We e to announce the decease of the Hon. and Very t y i g e v. George Pellew, Dean of Norwich, at Great Chart Rectory, Kent, on Saturday, after some months of failing health. The deceased dean was the third son of Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, afterwards Viscount Exmouth, and was born at Tregony, Cornwall. in 1793 ; educated at Eton and Corpus Cht isti College Orford (8.A., 1815 ; M.A., 1818 ; D.D., 1828). He received t holy orders in 1817, and in 1823 became a canon of Canterbury, where he resided until his appointment to the deanery of Norwich in 1829. He was an accomplished scholar, and published, amongst other works, the " Life of Lord Sidmouth," and several volumes of sermons. In 1820 he roamed the Hon. Frances Adding ton, second daughter of the first Viscount Sidmouth, who survives him. The dean leaves one son, Mr. Henry E. Pellew, well-known as active in all churc h movements, and three daughters—Viscountess Sidmouth, Mrs. Ogle, and Mrs. Arkwright. GREAT YARMOUTH ELECTION COMMISVON. At their meeting on Saturday the conuoissioners heard a great number of witnesses, who deposed to having received bribes from either liberals or tones. One witness, who had voted on former times for the liberals went over to the tones be cause he felt he had been badly treated. He had applied for the place of postmaster at Gorleaton, but the liberals bad used their interest for another man, who was appointed. Mr. Preston stated that he bad received authority from S'r H. Stracey to draw upon Messrs. Harvey and Hudson, the Norwich bankers, for about 1,5901. He was surprised to hear it stated that 2,00 W. had been drawn out, as he had not given orders for more than 1,0001. He wrote " 1,000/." on his card, added his initials, and handed the card to Mr. J. W. Bunn, for presentation at the bank. He knew nothing whatever of the drawing out of other sums as stated by Mr. Harvey, M.P. Mr. Preston believed that more must have been spent on behalf of Mr. Watkin in 1859 than the 7501. which Mr. Watkin mentioned ; it was a peculiarity of the Yarmouth liberals that they bribed their owu friends as well as " open " voters. Thos. Downing, recalled, depeeed that he went through the Bankruptcy Court, but did so at the request of the con servative party, in order to get rid of a law bill ;n which be got mixed up for the tones, to the extent of 1271.18 a. Bd. Mr. Shuckford, site- the election of 1859, sent him to Truro, in order to get him out of the way, but did not pay his expenses. Mr. Shuckford was also recalled, and be said that be guaranteed Doe aing's expenses throulb the Bankruptcy Court, and bad to pay them. The com missioners again adjourned. The Dublin Evening Mail says :—" We under stand that a memorial is being p-epared, to be presented immediately to the Lord-Lieutenant, on the pun of the presidents, professors, and graduates of the Queen's Uni versity, praying his excellency to withhold his authenti cation of any proceedings taken, or regulations made, under the Supplemental charter, until an opportunity shall have been obtained of subjecting it to discussion in parlia ment." The Cork Examiner says :—" We understand that there exists no foundation for the rumour that Mr. Butt, Q.C., has become a convert to the catholic church." A PARIS MISER —The commissary of police of the quarter of the Place Vendbme, accompanied by a doctor, two days ago visited the apartment of the Baroness X—, in order to certify, at the re quest of the inmates of the house, the death of that lady, who was 75 years of age. The appearance of the apartment indicated extraordinary neglect. There WWI scarcely any furniture ; the dust of years obscured the window panes, and the papa. on the wall was spotted and rotten. The place appeared to have been uninhabited from time immemorial, and yet the Baroness X— bad lived there for 25 years, paying an annual rent of 1,500 fr. In the bedroom, stretched upon a truokle bed, and partly covered with filthy rags, lay the body of the baroness. An examina tion showed that death arose from weakness caused by want of food. It further appeared that she had starved herself wilfully ; and, indeed, in point of avarice, the rlehnet baroness would have borne away the palm from Harpagon, Gosbeck, and other such heroes. Not withstanding her considerable fortune, estimated at 50,000 franca a year, she always went clothed like a beggar, and often solicited charity in the street. She lived on crusts of bread, the refuse of cabbages and other vegetables, and such like garbage that she picked up from dirt-heaps. Last week she fell down from weakness while passing the door of the concierge from want of food, but she refused to take some refreshment proposed to her, ao doubt fearing that she would have to pay for it.

After ',marking that the resolution of the Jamaica Committee to prosecute Mr. Eyre is a very serious one, and one which it would be improper either lightly to approve or lightly to condemn, and that its sole object is to submit to judicial decision the great legal and consti tutional issues involved, the Daily News proceeds to say that it cannot be pretended that there is only one side to the question, and that the case is on the first blush per fectly clear. Besides the question of right, it observes, there is the question of expediency. The public mind is sure to become even more seriously inflamed and disturbed than it now is, and the ultimate decision :11 be committed to twelve men, who cannot, in the nature of things, avoid being more or less influenced by the general excitement. To spend large sums of money to protract an angry and bitter controversy on which social classes as such are beginning to take a side in order to go before a tribunal which cannot but be more or less biassed, is a course open to many objections ; nor can it have escaped the minds of the Jamaica Committee that, in addition to the sympathy always enlisted on behalf of the accused in a political trial, the sentimental considerations, the regard for personal qualities, the fervent hero-worship, in short, which influ ence Mr. Carlyle and Mr. Ruskin, are far more likely to tell upon the minds of ordinary Englishmen than the more general and far-reaching considerations of the maintenance of legal security for life and liberty natural to such men as Mr. Mill, Professor Cairnea, and Mr. Herbert Spencer. But the committee are probably prepared for any of the probable issues of the trial. The grand jury may throw out the bill of indictment, but even in that event the presiding judge can scarcely avoid declaring hi' view of the law of the case; while, in the event of a trial and an acquittal, there will be added to the statement of the law in the judge's charge the application of the law to the facts. Any way, value able light will be cast on the necessity or expediency of further political action. If it should prove that, under the law as it stands, such seta aa Mr. Byre's are beyond legal question, the need of further legislation will be esta blished. The question at issue is one which affects the lives and liberties of Englishmen ; it ought to be settled, and only a judicial decision can settle it. Mr. Eyre's prosecution is certain to intensify the zeal of his partisans, and will create some reaction in his favour among other* ; but this evil cannot be avoided. As to the apprehension of reaction against the law in case of conviction, the Daily News ob serves that that is not an argument which can be properly addressed to the prosecutors, who will not have to pass sentence upon Mr. Byre. The discretion of the judge and the mercy of the crown may be trusted, and reaction against the law which prevents Englishmen from holding their lives and freedom dependent on the cap rice of the executive, need not, the Daily News hopes, be dreaded.

The Hon. Charles Langdale, who spoke in favour of the mission, related • curious anecdote. He said he had been told that the mission-house in that place was nothing better than a barn, and he had been astonished, on his way down, to find himself in a magnificent building, fitted up according to catholic fashion.
