Rama ARD and SOW from publishing an engraving from the famous photograph represent ing SAMUEL Lord Bishop of Oxroxn standing just like an Apostle, in lawn sleeves and rochet, wear ing the collar of the Garter, holding an elegant pastoral staff in his left hand, while his right is raised with two fingers extended to give his Epis copal benediction. The engraving was an illus tration, in the proper sense, of the pamphlet; and those of our readers who have read the latter may be surprised to find that its publication should become a matter of commercial dispute. But—and let the fact humble the pride of genius —this photograph, to which art has contributed about as little as it could do to a portrait, is a valuable property. At an outlay of perhaps thirty shillings Mr. MOWBRAY has become the proprietor of a portrait which is worth to him a sum larger than many of the best pictures in the Academy collection are now selling for. And this is quite right, for if Mr. MOWBRAY has not pro duced a work of invention or originality, ho has rendered a public service, for which it is proper he should receive a reward. By issuing this photograph—the genuineness of which was contested by some of the Bishop's friends ou its appearance—he has done more to help us to understand the age in which we live than half a dozen able writers could have effected. The incredible has been ocularly de monstrated. The sophistical explanations of melli fluous Jesuitry have gone down in a moment when this portrait has been produced. To see it is to see at once what the Bishop of Oxvoae is ; what his relation to the Ritualistic clergy, and what type of priestly character ho is encou raging in his diocese. The law is certainly very favourable to Mr. MOWBRAY, and we can hardly think was made in con templation of such a case as this. It gives that gentleman practically an ex clusive property not merely in his own work, but in a particular appearance of one of our public men. Ordinary photographic portraits have so distinctive a character that as soon as one photographer has taken Lord DERBY or Mr. GLAD STONE, others in quick succession apply for the same privilege, and thus the public get a number of likenesses of the same person differenced by posi tion, or aspect, or expression. The representa tion of a well-known person in a particular official act, however, must always be essentially the same. The posture and expression of this photograph are those which the Bishop habitually assumes when he pronounces a blessing, and would be the same in any number of original portraits. It may be hoped that these proceedings will still further extend the circulation of the pamphlet which illustrates the moral, as the photograph does the physical, attitude of the Bishop in his diocese. It is a statement of important facts, not now presented to the public for the first time, but which have in their development a significance not suggested by each as they separately arise. lx a telegram from Madrid, of the 6th inat., General CALONOE is represented as having de clared that " there is no truth in the statement " published by the English papers " that the legal proceedings in the case of the Tornado have been declared null and void. As we were the first to snake the statement referred to, we feel called to point to what Lord DERrf said yesterday week in the House of Lords. "He was happy to say " that yesterday the Government received an in " timation from the Spanish Government that the " superior court had held that the former pro " ceedings were null and void, and had quashed " them, on the ground that the case should not " have been treated judicially, but administra " tively." Since then, certified copies of the judgment delivered by the Supreme Court of War and Marine, on the 23rd of May, at Madrid, in the case of the condemnation of the Tornado and her crew, have arrived in this country. The fol lowing is a translation : The sentence of condemnation appealed against, and which was pronounced by the Court of the Department of Marine of Cadiz on the 30th of January last, and spinet which Edward M. Collier, captain of the steamer Tornado, has appealed for himself, and all those whom he represents, is hereby aomailed. This supreme tribunal de clares itmlf isecomptte‘d to take cognizance of the proceed ings, and as the original documents, from which certified copies are taken, are in possession of this supreme court, all of then documents are ordered to be transmir ted to the Minister of Marine, along with a copy of the preceding opinion of the fiscal (legal adviser) of this court, that due effect may be given to it. Let this judgment be notified to the before-mentioned Court of Marine at Cadiz, and let a certificate of it be endorsed un the proceedings to ensure its success. De. Dots JOSE Luis RETORTILLO. Madrid, May 1867. We notice with regret the character of the reply, given in another column, which Lord STANLEY has just returned to an applica tion made to him on behalf of the crew of the Tornado, who, upon any theory of the character of the vessel, have been shamefully dealt with. Lord STANLEY speaks of claims upon the Spanish Government which have been preferred by the crew, but surely the British Government •ade the case of those poor men its own when our Minister formally presented those claims last February. Is it for the honour or interest of the country that claims for redress of grievous injustice should be made and then left to lan guish, until the most that the Foreign Minister of England can say of them four months after is that they " have not been lost sight of " OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The would-be assassin of the Czar cannot even have supposed, the newt remarks, that his act would bring redress of any kind to his countrymen. His motive, if ra tional at all, must bare been purely vindictive,snd there fore not to be palliated by those specious but unsound arguments which have been urged in excuse of tyrsnnicide. As it is, this detestable outrage, isolated though it may be, will have no insensible effect in quenching the sympathy still felt with Poland. The offence involves the highest degree of guilt, and it is (essential to the very existence of society that political motives should not be admitted even in theory as extenuating circumstances in such eases of murder. The senseless as well as execrable character of the outrage is enlarged upon also by the Pant, the Standard the Telegraph, and the Stor. It is generally observed that nothing could be more likely to make the Czar popular even in Paris, or to bring the real Polish cause into disrepute. The Star expresses a hope that the Russian Emperor, instead of being vindictive under the offence, will endeavour to find immunity for the future, not by treating Poland as a conquered province but by wielding his sceptre in the spirit of justice and clemency. The painful death of the Archduchess Illatilda, the intended bride of Humbert, Prince of Piedmont, must be ,looked upon, the Tines says, as an inauspicious and even calamitous occurrence both for Italy and Austria. Never since the close of the revolutionary crisis of 1848, were the public fortunes of the House of Austria more in the ascendant, but this open grave, and the events at Quere taro and Miramar constitute a complication of domestic sorrows which spread over popular exultation the gloom of irrepressible foreboding. The Daily News grapple', with the question of the repre• mutation of minorities, opposing the arguments of the Tine*, and contending that the essence of reform lies in the further development and just application of our exist ing system of representation, and not in its reversal. The reception given lately by the House of Commons to the project of ;personal representation devised by Mr. Hare, and explained by Mr. Mill, is conclusive, probably, of the fate of the clumsier schemes propounded by Mr. Dillwyn, Mr. Lowe, and Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Lowe would allow an elector in a constituency which has three members to say three times over that he thinks one man is the best ; in other words, to be politically three single gentlemen rolled into one. If the plan were adopted two members would be returned by somewhat less than half the constituency ; one member by about a fourth of it. As a rule it is vested interests and oligarchic ascendancy that seek the protection which the representation of minorities would give them. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1867. THE WEEKLY PRESS. The Examiner contends that the scorn of the French populace for assassination is thoroughly con-intent with their honest anger and vexation at seeing the master of Mouravieff feted and glorified by thei master : and feeling vexed and angry, it is but natural that they should express what they feel by look and voice. We, whose executive and whose parliament refused to give any satis faction to the Austrian, when Hainan was hustled and chased by Messrs. Barclay's men, cannot at all events cavil at the want 'of political politeness in our neighbours. The only difference lies ini this that our draymen having caught the scourge of Hungary amongst them threatened to throw it in the mire; and that the lawyers, students, and workmen of Paris seeing the hand that held the scourge of Poland offered them to kiss, treated the Her with manly and generous disdain. Si sic taws; Fhe Saturday Rerine does not believe that those' who really care for and value the political life of the nation, end wish the masses to be interested in poling, will be much attracted by the scheme of a cumulative vote—a scheme for causing an enforced stagnation in big towns and important counties There is something of an Adul lamite flavour in the proposal. It smacks of the wish to mitigate the effects of the Reform Bill, and to get rid of democracy by ingenious onntrivve•wa. It is an arrange ment by which the check .f npicicrx„ the keen ness and buoyancy of political strife. the incul cation of doctrines by reasoning and persuasion, are to be quieted and silenced throughout some of the most important centres of national activity. It would settle beforehand the political prospects of almost every large town, and almost every wealthy and populous aunty. Hitherto the government hes shown a strong leaning against it, and in favour of increasing the number of constituencies returning a single member; and Mr. Disraeli has justified the course he has taken on the express ground that he wishes to elicit as much as possible a decisive voice from the constituencies, to guide him and fortify the ministry for the time being. We can only hope that he may per severe, and that the house may go with him. A government journal having taken credit to Mr. Disraeli for mameuvring his party into a policy th►t if blankly prof fered to them they would have rejected with wrath, the Spectator concedes to the right hon. gentleman all that is claimed for him of distinct foresight, but fears this does more to discredit his trustworthiness than even to glorify his tact. He had, or professed to have had, strong prin ciples, which he shared with his party, end he has had the credit by a series of feints of inducing them, as be has induced himself, to strip off those principles and abandon the policy they indicated. He has persuaded his party to exchange a policy they honestly believed for one they utterly despised, though they think, as ho thinks, that it may be to their advantage. He has invented a political dispensation or new economy, in order to ac custom his followers to views which they once rejected as base, and prospects which they still think full of danger —alarming, as well as alluring. He has been the prophet of a retrograde teaching, a Moses of the wrong kind, bent on accustoming his people gently to the idea of returning to the flesh-pots of Egypt, from the sorrowful wilderness of their thirty years' wandering. If this is credit, he has achieved it, The Imperial Review is enabled to state that the National Conservative Association intend, to give a "mag nificent entertainment^ in the City of London to Lord Derby, Mr. Disraeli, and the other leading members of the government.

Referring, at the late meeting of the London Library, to the state of literature in Italy and the freedom of the press in Rome, Earl Stanhope remarked that pro hibitory regulations often defeat one another. When at Rome he had observed that Lord /Kannlay's " History of England" was in the Index, while Tauchnits's " Editions of English Authcn " were all (including Macaulay) ad. mined. The large cumbrous volumes which few would have desired to buy remained without the barrier, while the handy and desirable pocket volumes were placed within the reach of all the faithful. The Earl of Clarendon added that he believed not only was that dangerous book, Lord Macaulay's history, forbidden in Roma, but that still more dangerous work, " The History of England," by Lord Mahon. Earl Stanhope heartily joined in the merri ment which this remark drew forth.

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE CZAR. (rsom ma ours coaszaromnirr.) PARIS, FRIDAY Sunnis. Of course nothing is talked of to-day but the attempted assassination of the Emperor of Russia. I give the leading facts---such at least as I have reason to believe t-ue—in no other order than that in which I learn them. The Moniteur avoids stating that the Czar was specially aimed at. It mentions only the literal fact that the shot was fired "at the carriage" contain ing the Emperor Napoleon, the Czar, and the two Grand Dukes, leaving the public to infer from the nationality of the assassin, who " said he was a Pole," that it was not Napoleon HI. but his guest whose life was intended to be taken. This inevit able inference turns out to be perfectly true—the Pole has confessed it. He told M. Gouet, the Judge of Instruction, that he meant and hoped to kill the Czar. He professed affection and grati tude towards the Emperor of the French. He de clared that he had no accomplices. There are two ways of spelling the unheroic syllables of the assassin of June 6. The Moniteur calls him Bereyouski ; but the Prefect of Police's placards, posted all over Paris, say B4rizowski. He is a native of Volhynia. His condition in life was that of a working engineer. He was employed by the considerable house of Gouin and Co. He is only twenty, and when sixteen served in a Polish insurgent army. The Emperor Napoleon's equerry (in French ecityer), who rode close to the door of the imperial carriage the horse which received the bullet in its head, is M. Raimbeaux. That horse died in the course of the night. It is said that M. Raimbeaux seeing the Pole approaching the carriage thought he was coming to present a petition, and spurred his horse to a curvet to keep him off. The action made the horse's head in all probability cover the Czar. At all events the Em peror of Russia,themoment he arrived at the Elyscce, sent for M. Raimbeaux, thanked him for having saved his life, said he should never forget it, and at once gave him with his own hand the Order of St. Stanislas. The assertion of the Monitror, although echoed by the placards of the Prefect of Police that "nobody was wounded," was incorrect. It is true, as I informed you last night, that. a woman remised a ball in the cheek. The surgeons in an ambulance near at hand immediately attended her. The Droit says that her wound is slight. The Munikur du Sole admits that a woman whom it calls a dame (a lady) was wounded, and does not say whether severely or not. The blood which spurted from the wounded head of M. Raimbeaux's horse stained the uniforms of the Emperor Napoleon and of the Grand Duke Wladi mir, who was seated opposite to him. The Czar thought for a moment that the blood was that of his son, and was deeply affected. The horse's blood on the Emperor Napoleon gave rise to the rumour that his Majesty had received a scratch. The pistol was a double-barrelled one. It was at the second shot that it burst in the hands of the assassin. He was badly wounded, and fainted away before he was secured. Some say ho has lost three fingers—others a thumb and one finger. A few seconds after the event the Emperor Napoleon, turning to the Czar and smil ing, said to him, " Sire, we have been under tire together." The Emperor of Russia replied, "Our destinies are in the hands of Providence." This conversation is authentic. Crowds of people of all ranks have called at the ElysLce Palace to-day to inscribe their names. All coiner' are admitted. Many add to their signa tures a word or two, such as " sympathy," "horror of the crime," &c. To-day the Emperor Napoleon in uniform, at tended by the officers of his household, the Em press, the Princess Mathilde, and several ministers and great officers of state, the Emperor of Russia and the Grand Dukes, the King of Prussia and the Prince and Princess Royal of Prussia, went to the Russian church to hear a Te /hum for the preser vation of the Czar's life. M. Raimbaux with hie new decoration, was among the distin guished congregation which crowded the church. It is a noteworthy fact that a catholic and a protes tant monarch thus joined with the head of the Greek church in Greek worship. At church the two Grand Dukes threw them selves upon their father's neck and wept. The name of the lady wounded is Madame La borie, the wife of a councillor-general of the de partment of the Tarn. Her wound is not serious. The assassin had placed himself near the cas cades, calculating that the great crush there would prevent the imperial carriage from going beyond a foot pace, and that he could, therefore, take better arm. Fortunately M. de Bourgoing, in charge of the procession, seeing the great crowd, took a different avenue from the ono that was in the programme. Berezowski (I think this will be the ultimate spelling) then crept through the brush wood to the newly chosen alley. He fired when at a distance of five paces, but the cortege was going at a trot. Berezowski has not worked for MM. Gouin since April 30. He was first given employment by them on Feb. 7, 1865. His first words on being brought before the Prefect of Police were, " I am much obliged to your agents, but for them I should have been massacred by the public." Berezowaki has been in the employment of MM. Call and Co. He left their workshops on May 4. He says he has since lived on his savings and a pension of 35c. a day, which he received from the French government as a Polish refugee. It is, I believe, not true, as stated, that he came from Belgium only two days ago on purpose to commit the crime. Ho bought the double-barrelled pistol on the Boulevard de Sebastopol on Wednesday, and gave 9:r. for it, after being assured that it was better than some which he had been shown at Bfr. He first thought of trying to commit the deed on the night when the Czar went to the opera. On the sitting of the Corps Legislatif to-day, President Schneider made the following speech : Messieurs—Yesterday, at the moment when our glorious army excited the admiration of the Sovereigns present at the review, and of an immense assemblage of the popula tion, an odious crime was committed by a man of foreign origin ; but Providence was on the watch, and the crime was powerless. (Applause.) I cannot, gentlemen, but be the interpreter of your sentiments and those of our noble and hospitable country—(" Bravo, bravo," and long continued applause)—in proclaiming the profound indignation which this abominable attempt has provoked in every heart (Fresh ►pplause)—and in expressing on this occasion our deep and respectful sympathy for the august guests of the Emperor of France. (Loud and long continued cheers and cries of " Viva l'Empereur !") Let me observe here, en pa cant. that this is the first time I have seen Napoleon 111., the Emperor of France, in any official speech or document. His right title is the Emperor of the French—the importance of the nuance needs no explanation. There are to be very general illuminations in Paris this evening. M. Gressier's report on the Army Organisation Bill will be presented probably to-morrow, but at farthest by Monday.

The day before yesterday an important engage. ment took place at Ayos Miron, and after thirteen hours' hard fighting, the insurgents were victoriou s , But I will give you the details of the last few days, with the movements that led to this interruption of the atatu quo position to which Turks and Chris,. tians have lately adhered. It was reported that some hundred Mahometan Cretans had pesessed themselves of places in the province of Slalaviai in order to levy contributions, and some said that they had received carte blanche from Reachid Pacha to indulge in cruelty and outrage against the Chris. tians of Heraclea. However this may be, the pro. visional government ordered the Cretan leaders to drive the Mahommedana from their posts, and also to intercept the Turkish troops, who, advancing upon the eastern provinces, hoped to prevent the disembarkation of volunteers and munitions of war with which the Arcadi, there as elsewhere, as. sista the insurrection. According to these orders Petropoulaki marched towards the south east, and encamped in the ravine of Pen. taxard, awaiting further orders from Kokinidis and Skulas. The march had lain through a rocky country, with scant vegetation and low undergrowth, a landscape differing in itsglooniy character from anything we had yet seen in our Cretan marches. Then a fair high-lying valley opened out before us, shaded by • few trees en closed by perpendicular walls of rock, and with a bright carpet of green. Here we rested, and in the night received the good news of the safe arrival of the Arcadi, in the Gulf of Mirabolla, with rein forcements of 550 volunteers, and with 4,000 Mks. The next day, on a hill in the middle of the valley, was held a great council of war, under the presi dency of the general-in-chief, Petropoulaki. Here the Greeks decided to march eastwards, upon As sites, a town to the south-west of Ayes Mime, to offer battle to the Turks, then to turn rapidly to the north-west and attack at once, and from all sides, Omer Pacha, who, with 6,000 men, had ad vanced eastwards from Rethymno to Kamalevri. At 10 p.m. on the night of the 14th we broke up our encampment, and marched, through the bright moonlight, along cross paths and ladder-like valleys, which were often unusually difficult of access for both riders and foot-passengers. Thee we came to a defile, where the walls of rock on one side had been overthrown by some natural convul sion, and where the picturesque effect of the deep precipice and the wild view between the silt masses of rock was heightened by the grotesque shadows which the mountains dung across mr moonlit path. Most of us were on foot, and all found the roughness of the road tiring, more especially the brave old chief, who suffers from the many wounds that he has received in the war for freedom. Two hours after midnight we paused to rest where from our high position we could dis tinguish, through the early twilight, the shadowy outline of the whole valley of Heraclea. After short repose we formed line again, and marched by daybreak upon Assites. Captain Kokinides commanded the right wing, Leonidas Petropoulaki the centre, and Captain Skulas the left wing and the reserve : the last was placed on the heights of Petali Castelo. At six a.m. the attack commenced ; 500 Mahe medan Cretans who possessed the place being already drawn up in order of battle. After an ob stinate resistance they retreated, and were punned by the Christians. Meanwhile the Turkish garri son of Ayos Miron, having heard of the engage ment, took arms and sent two battalions of infantry of the line, 300 Cretan Mahomedans, a squadron of cavalry and two guns, to the support of their allies. The battle grew warmer as the Turkish troops approached, bringing their two guns with them ; but volunteers and Cretans alike offered a brave resistance from the heights of Assites. Mean- while Reachid Pacha sent back to Ayes Miron those troops which had started to suppress the insurrection in the eastern provinces. Thus fresh reinforcements arrived for the Turks just as the insurgents began to look anxiously at their rapidly diminishing cartridges. About 2 p.m. the Cretan vanguard re treated slowly upon Petali Castelo, where was the reserve, and the Christians were on the point of yielding the battle when the order was given to make a last advance and endeavour to redeem the fortune of the day. As the fight recommenced the courage of the Greeks redoubled, and they fought with heroic contempt of death. Their leaders de termined to maintain the struggle till nightfall, a they were persuaded that the Turks, tired with the exertions of the day, exhausted by the heat of the sun, and suffering alike from hunger and thirst; would not be able to fight on through the nigh% The Turkish guns sent ball after ball against urt position, which their infantry vainly entleatourel to storm.
