CARDINAL WISEMAN is an acknowledged master of the unctuous-malignant style of composition. His pastorals and mandates are models of tumid meekness and pompous suavity, rising occasionally into holy wrath. There is an odour of the fatness of a bleeding and smoking sacrifice in those unwieldy phrases and swollen periods. The language he writes is something half way between icatonical Latin and high-flown parochial English. It has neither the calm plain sense of the Anglo-Saxon, nor the polished acerbity of the French, nor the sombre fervour of the Spaniard ; his diction com bines the swagger, the hiss, and the scowl of the demagogue, the pamphleteer, and the inquisitor, with the cloying sweetness of the spiritual director, and the sour humility of the Prince of the Church, whose lot is cast in a land of unbelievers. The roll and rumble of one of these Archiepiscopal Charges is Elm the ponderous jolt of one of those monstrous specimens of ecclesiastical coachbuilding in which the Successors of the Apostles take an airing round about the Holy City. - And yet how often have we heard foreign ecclesiastics, imper- fectly acquainted with the English language, ask whether " Fabiola " was not considered in England a literary masterpiece t We could never find it in our hearts to hint a doubt whether the merits of "Fabiola" were sufficiently familiar to the ii 1 population of these islands ; but to such a pro duction as the CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP'S short ex hortation to his "Dear Irish Children," we gladly render the homage of a careful and critical perusal. One trifling circumstance, which is cal ciliated to exalt the merits of this fond and feeling exhortation, is the date of its appearance. Let us look a little closely at this. There is something unusually edifying in the phenomenon of a Car dinal Archbishop of Wrsratissrra,who never signs and seals a pastoral without setting an example of breaking the law, coming forward to implore his dear children of ST. PATRICK to respect it. But it is the time and manner of its appearance that impresses on this exhortation a peculiar sin cerity. On Sunday, September the twenty-eighth, as our readers remember, a public meeting was announced to be held in Hyde-park, for the pur pose of enabling the working population of London to express their sympathies for GARIBALDI and for the Roman people. There was never the slightest pretext for the supposition that the holders of the meeting meant to discuss any religious question whatsoever, still less to insult " the re " ligion of others." It may be convenient for a Cardinal in London, as it is convenient for a Car dinal at Rome, to confound two questions essen tially and entirely distinct, and to treat tho na tional rights of the Roman Catholics, properly so called—that ia, of the Catholic citizens of Rome, as the Protestant majority in these islandsonce treated the national rights of the Catholics of Ireland, as hos tile to the dominsuatfaith and Church. But this arbi trary and violent confusion of spiritual and temporal is a mystification too gross for English common sense. We are far from saying a word in favour of the practice of holding public meetings for any purpose in the Parks on Sundays, or indeed on week days. We do but insist upon the self-evi dent fact that the promoters of the so-called GA- Amman meetings had nothing whatever to do with Church or faith, with Pope or Antichrist. The religious pretext was imported into the Park by the " Dear Irish Children," who, although they could neither read nor write, were miraculously well aware of the close relation between the rights of the Roman people and the temporal sovereignty of "Cstaisr's Vicar on earth," and who by a mira culous interposition of some local Providence appeared on the ground in • compact mass, with miraculous coin in their pockets, and miraculous bludgeons in their hands, prepared to break the heads of any of her MAJESTY'S peaceful subjects, whether Catholic or Protestant, who should presume to cheer the name of GARIBALDI, or move a resolu tion in favour of the emancipation of the Catholics at Rome. The CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP'S dear Irish children, with that tenderness of conscience, that sensitive piety, for which the dear children whom the Papal Minister at Arms despatches, with daggers, rosaries, and revolvers, across the Neapolitan frontier, to rob, burn, and ravish, are equally remarkable, knew more about the ulterior views of the Oaribaldian meeting than the Geri baldians themselves, and were resolved to put it down with all the pious energy of dear children of ST. PATRICK. And the dear Irish children were at least as victorious as their gallant brethren under LAMORICIERE. By their forcible and weighty arguments they convinced the Garibal diens of the imprudence of attempting to hold a meeting in Hyde-park on the following Sunday. Accordingly it was advertised that no such meet ing would take place. On Sunday, October sth, however, • vast multitude of idle people, with that keenness of nose for which Britons are proverbial, scented a shindy from afar, and with one accord made towards the Park. No sign or symptom of a Garibaldian meeting there was the Papal army of the children of ST. PATRICK panting for the fray, and there was the CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1862. • THE in his carriage, hovering like a Papal 3ffinifter of Arms on the outakirtaof the field of battle,Tkellanr- derons conflict that ensued, the capture sad reeap ture of the extemporised " Redone' did not 'the Muse of history, with note-book and pencil in hand, consign it all to next morning's paper ? The CAR DINAL ARCHBISHOP surveyed from his carriage the noble army of bleeding noses, and the cracked skulls of the dear Irish children, who were now beginning to get the worst of it. But it was not— mark the dates—until the Thursday following, after several of the children of ST. PATRICK had ex piated their too impulsive zeal for the cause of " our dear Porriry" at the Police-courts, and Sir RICHARD MAY/re had publicly forbidden public meetings in the Parks, and taken stringent mea sures for the preservation of public order, that the CARDINAL. ARCHBISHOP addressed this expostula tion to his flock ; begging, entreating, conjuring, nay, solemnly enjoining and commanding his dear Irish children not to go to the Park on Sunday next, or any Sunday "when there may be the least danger of conflict or collision"—with an overpoweringforce of the metropolitan police. It was only after the i Chief Commissioner of Police had been compelled to protect the peace of the Parka from the ruffian ism of the dear Irish children, and the right of public meetings from abuse by the miserable hire lings of a foreign Government, that his Eminence the CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP called off the savage and howling pack. Curiously enough, that devoted organ of the Eldest Daughter of the Church, La France, knew all about the riots in the Park before they took place, and took care to inform its readers that a serious opposition to the Garibaldians might be expected. M. DR La GURILONNIERE pointed to the Papal movement with exultation, as a striking evi dence of the instructive fact that even in heretical England the temporal power of the Porn had many ardent supporters. The organization of these dear benighted children of ST. PATRICK into a brigade of ST. Fruit's Bullies was announced in Paris before it broke out in lawless violence in London. This is certainly a fact worth remembering. Nor should it be forgotten that public meetings and liberty of speaking are among the horrors of that modern civilization which the Roman Government formally condemns. Happy are these dear children of ST. PATRICK, if they only knew it, that they are not Roman Catholics at Rome, but Irish Catholics in London. . Lea= IGENCK CONTILICT IN PRI 'M editor of the Cologne OeaeUe thus describes the subject in dispute between the King of Prussia and the Chamber of Deputies Our army, which ever since the peace of 1815 consisted of something about 120,000 to 130,000 men, and was only in 1855 raised to 140,000, and in 1868 to 151,000 men, at present, if things go by the govern ment, is to be augmented to the enormous state of 210,000 soldiers. Nay, more, the government created, against the known wish and will of the country, in 1860,.in the midst of peace, while all the other great powers of the continent were reducing their armies, 40 new regiments, and in creased our army actually to 205,000 men. But this overgrown peace establishment is not legally sanctioned by the Prussian Diet, and never will be. The constitutional conflict in Prussia is at present of a simple nature. The government contends that the House of Commons has no right to vote the budget. The budget, says the ministerial party, is a law to which the House of Lords and the King must give their consent as well. Therefore, if either the Lords or the King refuse to sanction the budget as voted by the Commons, there is no budget ; and if there is no budget the government may do with the people's money whatever it likes. This is no exaggeration, but the simple truth, which you may read yourself in the enclosed num ber of the AU/ermine Preuesische Zeitung, the paper of the Prussian government. That famous consti tutionalist Lord Russell, trying hard to read, mark, and inwardly digest this new constitutional theory, is said to have nearly died with a fit of indi gestion." The touching sweetness of the CARDINAL'S ex hortation, the spirit of charity, long-suffering, and compassion which inspires it, is only surpassed by the exquisite and even audacious irony of some of its passages. For meekness and goodwill to man it is one of those documents which in a Catholic country a Cardinal might issue on the eve of a solemn massacre of heretics. There is an aroma of suppressed vindictiveness, a soupcon of the will, if there were only the power, to burn, which is quite refreshing. The dear Irish children are justly reminded of tho wrongs they have endured from the enemies of their faith ; the famine and " wholesale death " which Protestant England inflicted, and did not relieve. " Put up thy sword " into the sheath, for they that take the sword shall " perish by the sword," is a text we are glad to hear from &Cardinal in these days ; when the Head of the Church and the successor of Sr. Peru is seen consecrating a barrack of Zouaves, bestow ing his benediction upon BARABBAS, and clinging desperately to a kingdom of this world by the grace of Voltairian bayonets. "Put up thy sword" is no doubt the proper moral of the campaign of the Irish legion ; and the author of the last Encyclical letter is the legitimate follower of Him who when He was reviled reviled not again. Surely it is to Rome that these dear Irish children should look for the living illustration of the beautiful sentiments and doctrines which his EMINENCI reserves for the courts and lane' of Westminster. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO GERMANY. Previous to the return of the royal family to England, the King of Prussia will pay a short visit to her Majesty at Coburg. His Majesty was expected to arrive on Sunday, sod to return to Berlin on the following day. jnent of the government, and has indeed lost aside • . with many of his old friends for what they undue subserviency. HA is one of the leaders of that section of the liberal party which, feeling it useless to kick against the pricks, and accepting the Empire as an accomplished fact, tries to mould and fashion imperial institutions in accordance with the democratic origin to which they lay claim, and clings convulsively to every shred of legal right which is yet loft to the subject. It is an important event that such a man as K Havin should judge the present time favourable for making a stand on legal right ; he must calculate on a wholesome division in the government councils ; for he cannot , but know that if the government were united in a firm resolve to use its repressive powers to the utmost, he and his journal would be crushed. M. Havin writes in the Siecie not a leading article, but a letter to the Minister of the Interior. This is • striking novelty. I think I sin not mistaken in saying that never before, since the establishment of the Empire, has any journal dared to print a controversial letter to any minister. M. Havin breaks ground with little ceremony in these words : oieur le Miniatre, —Having been for some days absent from Paris, I learn, on my arrival, that the Minister of the interior has prohibited the journals from discussing the question of the number of deputies, and of the electoral circumscriptions, pretending that any such discussion would be an attack upon the constitution and the org►nic laws. Permit me to protest against this allegation ; I believe, on she contrary, that discussion is in this case a homage ren dered to the constitution. M. Ravin then discusses at great length the legal question in controversy, which it will suffice to describe here in a few words. Art. 34 of the constitution says :—" The election bas for its basis the population." Art. 35 says " There shall be a deputy for every 35,000 elec- tors." The word " elector" is defined by Art. 12 of the organic decree, which says :—" All French men, without reference to payment of taxes, aged twenty-one and upwards, and in the enjoyment of civil and political rights, are electors." In this state of the law, the broad fact, which , . has lately excited considerable attention, is, that whereas the population of the "department of the Seine" (which is in substance the legal description of Paris) has increased within the hat ten years by 532,000 souls, the number of registered electors in 1862 is 12,000 less than in 1852, and it is entitled to return one deputy lees than in 1867• The government contends that the electoral districts are to be portioned out according to the number of " registered electors," whereas the constitution says nothing about registration, but lays it down that every Frenchman of twenty one and upwards is an elector, and that the popu lation is the basis of the election. Registration is a necessary formality for enabling electors to exer cise their rights with due order, but has nothing to do with the question—which, in spite of the admi nistrative injunction, M. Ravin persists in dis cussing—" What is an elector 1" No less than seven times since 1789, under various constitu tions, the census of the population has been the basis of the partition of the electoral districts. The practical bearing of the question at the coming elections is this :—lf the government inter pretation of the constitution be maintained, only 272 deputies will be returned for all France, and but 9 for Paris ; whereas the other and the only sound interpretation would give 311 deputies for France and 16 for Paris. One understands why this question has hitherto been fought by the government as one of life and death. Paris and the large towns are likely to return opposition deputies, and, therefore, it was felt of immense importance to restrict the number as much as possible. It is, however, now upon the cards that M. de Persigny himself, thwarted by the prevalence of ultramon tane counsels at St. Cloud, may feel the necessity of throwing himself upon the liberal party for sup port, and may, therefore, look with tolerance upon this independent demonstration of M. Navin, which, under other circumstances, he would have considered " fiat blasphemy." A ministerial council was held to-day. The Temps says (but wisely without warranting the news) that, according to a rumour, the Roman question was the principal subject of discussion, and that if so, its statement of yesterday, apropos of M. Rattarxi's journey, representing the solution as having been adjourned, would be contradicted. I find no confirmation in any other quarter of the Roman question having been on the lapis at St. Cloud to-day. I am persuaded that it has not been discussed to any serious purpose, and I have little doubt that the above paragraph is something in the uature of a communiqui inflicted upon the Temps because it spoke out somewhat too plainly yesterday. The Bourse, after a period of slight depression, closed with firmness at about the prices of Satur day.

The ordinary quarterly meeting was held in Exeter•hall this day, Viscount itaximeon in the: chair. Mr. Gruneieen, the secretary, having read the advertisement convening the meeting, Lord Ranelagh read the following report :—" The executive committee experience more then military gratification in submitting their fortieth quarterly report to the members, as the tenth anniversary was aim plated on the 7th of September last, and the Conservative land Society has now entered on its eleventh year. Its permanent prosperity will be proved by the annual accounts closing the financial operations of the year ending the 30th of September last. The committee have the pleasure to state that they re-elected William Astbury, Esq. and Newnbam Winetanley , Esq., as their two auditors, under Rule 30. and the members will this day have to nomi nate two auditors, under the same rule, to audit the accounts of the society for the past year. The candidates for the two auditors to be elected by the shareholders are the Rev. William George Goodchild, Mr. James Grad, and Mr. Harding. The balance sheet for 186162 will be rah mitted at the usual annual meeting next December. At the special meeting, which will be held this day, a requisi tion, duly signed, will be taken into consideration, pro posing certain alterations in the existing rules. These changes sod additions do not interfere in any manner with the fundamental principles of the society, but the cons mitten have deemed it expedient, for the efficient protec tion of the shareholders, as well as to increase the sphere of usefulness of the society, to avail them ' selves of the powers conferred by the law relating to friendly and benefit building societies.

WINCHESTER, MONDAY. I - This morning Lord Palmerston visited this city on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Diocesan Training School, and his lordship's visit, as might be sup posed, had the effect of attractive an unusual number of per sons to the ceremony, which took place in the Lecture-hall. The accommodation of the building is very superior, both with respect to clams rooms, dormitories, dining-rooms, kc. The building steads on a gentle eminence, on a site of five acres, which was given by • the Dean sad Chapter of Winchester. The programme comprised, first, the opening of the Diocesan Training School, after which Divine Service was , performed in the Cathedral and a sermon by the Bishop of Oxford, then an address to Lord Palmerton by the Mayor and Corporation at the Chapter-house, and the proceedings closed with a grand banquet in St. John's-hall. The ceremony of opening the school was performed by I the Bishop of Winchester. Among those present were : Lord Palmerston, M.P., Lady Palmerston, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Salisbury, Sir F. T. Baring, M.P., the Hon. R. H. Duttoe, M.P., Mr. W. Bench, M.P., Mr. Sclater Booth, M.P., Mr. Bovill, M.P., Sir J. B. Feet, M.P., Mr. Bonham Carter, M.P., and a large body of the clergy and gentry of the neighbourhood. Prayer having been offered, the Bishop of Winchester addressed the assembly at great length, on the objects of the institution and the circumstances which had given rise to the erection of that building. The remainder of the service was then proceeded with, and on the conclusion, the building having been pro nounced open, the National Anthem was sung. Divine service was afterwards performed in the cathedral, when an eloquent sermon was preached by the Bishop of Oxford, from Romans xii., 7th verse. In the course of his discourse be adverted to the general question of education and the duty of supporting schools of this kind. On the conclusion of the service, the mayor and corpora tion proceeded to the Chapter-house, when the Recorder presented the following address to Lord Palmerston: "To the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, K.G., First Lord of the ?remarry. " May it please your Lordship,—We the Mayor, Alder men, and citizens of the city of Winchester in council assembled most readily avail ourselves of the presence of your lordship on the occasion of the opening of the Dio ocean Training School, to express our admiration of your public character, and our high appreciation and grateful ac knowledgment of the administrative abilities displayed by your lordship, and the great services rendered by you as a minister of the government of this country. Our ancient records testify the visits of many eminent persons, to whom addresses have from time to time been presented, conveying the congratulations and approval of this corporation, but we know of none more en titled than your lordship to receive this declara tion of our admiration and esteem, enhanced as it is by your lordship this day supporting by your powerful influence the opening of an institution devoted to the ad. vanoement of education and consequent improvement of the moral and social ch aracter and condition of tLe com munity. We therefore desire to offer to your lordship a hearty welcome to Winchester ; and we earnestly pray that your lordship's life may yet long be„ pared to promote the honour and welfare of this country. Lord PaLairaffroe replied as follow* :—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen,—l beg to return you my most sincere thanks foe the address which you have just been kind enough to pre sent to in& I can assure you it has given me great pleasure to be allowed to attend upon so interesting and, I will say, important an occasion as that which has brought us all to gether to-day. I trust that the proceedings which have taken place to-day will lead to a useful result, and a large development of that system of education which we have as sembled to commemorate, and I may say to found, because we have opened a building in which for the future it is to be carried on. I am very sensible of the approval which you have been kind enough to express of the course which I have pursued in public life. I need not say that the approval of neighbours—of those who are close to one's residence, and who have better and more frequent opportunities of judging than those perhaps who are at a greater distance, must be more valuable in proportion se those who express it have better opportunities of forming a I, judgment. It will be the anxious desire of myself and of those colleagues with whom I have the happiness to act, to endeavour to merit the approval of our fellow-countrymen ; and I trust that, profiting by that indulgent consideration which the people of this country always give to the exer tions of those who are engaged in the public service, we shall be able to retain, as long as we continue in office, that good opinion which you have been kind enough to express to-day. The mayor and corporation then retired. In the evening Lord Palmerston was present at a grand banquet given by the civic authorities. FIFTEEN LIVES LOST AND ONE HUNDRED INJURED. EDINBURGH, IfonaT Nunn. A fearful collision has to-night occurred on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The 5 p.m. pas senger train from Glasgow to Edinburgh, and the 6 p.m. train from Edinburgh to the North, came into collision near Winchburgt ; it is said through the mistake of the pointaman. At leant 15 lives are lost and about 100 injured. The following particulars have been gleaned from a passenger, who arrived at King's-cross at 9.40 this morning from Edinburgh, and from several gentlemen, who arrived at Cranston's Waverley Hotel this forenoon, the latter gentlemen having been at the station of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway yesterday evening about 10 o'clock, when the first company of wounded passengers was brought in. The accident happened about 6.30, it being caused by a collision between the train that left Glasgow for Edin burgh at 5 o'clock, and the Scottish Central train (ao it was described) which left Edinburgh at six o'clock for Perth. The pointsman, it is sail, made a mistake in allowing one train to pass—whether the Edinburgh and Glas gow one or the Scottish Central could not be ascertained, and the fearful result was that the two trains met each other on the same line of rails, hence the catastrophe. The trains, it is said, were going at the rate of only six miles an hour, from which it is evident that both drivers saw their danger, and that they were unable to prevent the collision. It is said that a fair was being held at Winchburgh, the scene of the accident, and the horror and dismay which rapidly spread on all sides may be in some degree imagined. The news flew to Edinburgh, and soon a great crowd was collected at the Waverley station, great numbers of people being anxious to learn if any of their friends had been killed or wounded. The number killed, as far as can bo at present ascertained, is sixteen, but it is feared that many more deaths will occur. The number of wounded is supposed to be over a hundred, and the injuries of several are of a dangerous character. The first company of wounded was, as before stated, brought to the Waverley station at 10 yes terday evening, and the scene which then occurred is described as having been ex tremely painful and affecting. One old lady who had survived the accident was taken dead out of the carriage. Above the noise of the crowd the cries of the wounded were distinctly heard, and everywhere messengers were being sent off for medical men. In Scotland there are no coroner's inquests, but the sheriff or the procurator fiscal will doubtless institute an investigation into the cause of the accident. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. Last night the mail train on this line, which leaves the Victoria station at S p.m., met with an accident, the cause of which at present cannot be emceeing, be tween Sittingbourne and Teynham, and about • quarter of a mile from the latter place. It appears that the train in question pused through Sittiugbourne at 9.29 p.m. with letting off steam, contrary to the usual custom with mail or express trains passing through the smaller stations, and when it reached • spot about two miles from Sitting bourne it ran off the metals, the engine tearing up part of the up line, then apparently bounding back to its own line, and finally rushing across the line, the tender with it, barricading the road. The second-class carriage, which was next the tender, was thrown off the rails, the other caniagee being more or less upset. The engine -driver, named William Reed, was thrown out, and was found with the fire-boa of the engine rating on his breast. The body was dreadfully mutilated, the poor fellow's right leg being broken below the knee, his smlp nearly torn off, and, it is believed, his chest crashed. The left hand and arm was also burnt fearfully, the skin pealing from them like parchment. The stoker, in • manner that seems miraculous, escaped with • contusion of the spine, and the meaning of the skin off the left hand. Five or six lot the passengers received slight contusions, but beyocd this, as far as could be gathered, we are happy to state nothing of a serious nature occurred. Drs. Rae and Fisher, of Sittingbourne, were speedily on the spot. They had those who were injured sent on to Sittingbouroe, one of the gentle. men remaining to see the driver extricated. On information of the accident being received at Sittingbourne and Faversham junctions, tappet workmen, porters. he., were immediately despatched to the spot, accompanied by their respective station masters, Mesas. Barnard and Breeze. It would seem that a goods train was passing the mail train at the time of the accident, and, in fact, had only cleared the down train by about three yards, when the hitter ran of the metals. Had the goods train been but half • minute later the Ices of life would probably have been fearful. Forte- Irately, ales, there was no embankment just there, or the train must inevitably have been cast down. The sight pre sented by the line at the place of the accident was surprs- Mg. For nearly 100 yards the line was torn up. Part of the funnel of the engine was embedded in the earth, the other part being thrown about ten further coo, while the " dome " was precipitated some twenty yards on the other, or down side of the line.

BOWYER'S APPROVAL OF IRIsH ROMER& —The bon, member for Dundalk claims the cessation of out door Garibaldi meetings as a triumph of the Irish. Be writes :—" If the meeting had ' gone off well' it Would have been boasted as • triumph of anti-papal agitation. It was perfectly natural, then, that the Inch working ma deeply attached to their church and its head, sod lung plenty of strength and pluck, should determine to break up the meeting. That this would be so was obvious, and must haws been well known to the Garibaldis as and to the Horne-officer and the police. The niectieg ins a dangerous one, and might to have been prevented. It was not prevented, and bloodshed envied. I deeply he merit such a result ; but I protest against all the Wow being thrown oo my Irish friends.

Mr. Whitworth remarks in a letter to a cotem- porary that be is glad for hie guns to be tried in every way that guns ought to be tested, that is, under conditions as trying as those which occur in actual service. " I would ask, however, as I think I am entitled to do, that the trials be so conducted as not to be any longer a charge on my private resources, and in point of time and place not to compel me to make unnecessary sacrifices. I consider further that they ought not to be placed under the control of a committee constituted like the one which in 1858 pro mised to visit my works and see what was being done there, but without performing that promise.—and without per mitting me to be present at the trials of my gun, wheu I should have shown what it could do, and without even giving me any information as to the results obtained in my ab sence,—came to a decision against it,—a circumstance which came to my knowledge accidentally some time after."

ITALY. The following protest has been signed on leaving prison by the three deputies who were arrested at Naples by General Lamarmora : The undersigned deputies to the national parliament have, through Major Magnone, commanding the fort of the Castle de I'(Euf, received this morning official information that their state of imprisonment has ceased. At the moment of quitting the fort they perform an agreeable duty in bearing ample testimony of the good treatment which they have received from the commandant. But, on the other band, confirming their previous protests, they notice in the present acknowledg ment the impossibility which they have found, by order of the superior authority, of conferring with anyone in order to make known their complaint., and pointoOt, moreover, the circumstance that important documents, addressed by them to the President of the Chamber of Deputies, have not reached their destination. They regard the cessation of their imprisonment simply as the termination of • flagrant illegality,. and au extraordinary abuse of power, and do not understand that their release can cause the least prejudice to all the rights which belong as much to them individually as to the national representation, in what concerns the integrity of its inviolable prerogatives. SALVATORE CALVISO, NicolAs FRABRIZZL ANTOINE MORDINL Deputies. Naples, Castle de l'(Euf, October 6. RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 6th, says The affairs connected with the emancipation of the serfs go on in spite of the obstacles inevitable in such oomph. rated questions. The number of reglementary charters signed on either side up to September amounted to 39,371, and the number is increasing every day. Out of 10,000,000 serfs emancipated there are nearly 4,000,000 who have terminated their arrangements with the proprietors. The greater part have done so by private agreement. Oat of 515,000 servants attached to the habitations of the nobles more than 50,000 have become farmers. The operation of redemption is carried on very actively. The bank which is charged with it has already delivered to the proprietors 10,000,000 silver roubles (40,000,000 fr.), and hopes are entertained that in the autumn, after the close of the field labours, those who have hitherto delayed will take a decisive step. Things, therefore, do not go on very badly, and certainly much better than was at first expected. (iMUTER'S TEIXGRAIM) SPAIN. MADRID, Oar. 14.

Flavin, of the Siicfr, has done a very bold thing, and one which places K de Persigny, with his pretensions to be a liberal minister, in a diffi- - cult position. As you are aware, the "black man " was lately sent round to the journals with an intimation that government would permit no further discussion on the subject of the electoral 1 districts. It is necessary to explain that these sort ' of injunctions are illegal, or, rather, extra-legal. There is nothing in the constitution to warrant them ; nevertheless, they have had hitherto for all practical purposes the force of law, because news paper proprietors have felt that it was no use argu ing legal questions with a government upon whose good pleasure their existence depended. To the remonstrance, " You have no right to order me not to speak on this or that subject," the minister could always reply, "True ; but I have a right to warn, suspend, and suppress you without judge or jury, and, therefore, it is puerile in you to raise legal quibbles about my orders." This system was exceedingly convenient for the government be cause it enabled the Moniteur to boast that no censorship of the press existed in France, it enabled the Minister for Foreign Affairs gravely to assure foreign ambassadors of the same fact,l and yet all the while the censure ruled rampant in the offices of the journals. K Havin has taken upon himself publicly to protest against this practice, and openly and deliberately to disobey an order from the Minister of the Interior. All honour to him. His courageous step may, very probably, mark an epoch in the progress of liberty under the Empire. M. Flavin is a personage very well placed for taking such an initiative. He was a deputy of considerable influence in the time of Louis Philippe and of the republic of 1848. He is a man of independent fortune, and a councillor general for Thorigny-sur-Vire. He is the editor and principal proprietor of the jour nal which has the largest circulation in France, the Stick. With all these elements of personal respectability, he is no systematic oppo-
