SPORTING INTSLIAGENCII. 4 SPECIAL EDITION of the "EXPRESS; esstmistag the resets of the day's Races, Is pub lished every evening dartag the Sportiag Susses, at slit o'clock. The Daily Ncics publishes to-day certain alicial docaments which record, in terms of preolsim and plainness that leave no room for cm troversy, the practical failure of all the efforts we have made to conciliate the Greeks of the lonian Islands to permanent acquiescence in our rule. They know that at the Congress of Vienna Russia proposed their establishment as • free and independent State, under the title of the Beptinsular Confederation of lonian Isles; that Great Britain objected, and claimed instead to be invested with their absolute sovereignty in the same sense and for the same end. as she desired to retain polemic's of Gibraltar and Malta; and that finally it was agreed and stipulated by the Treaty of Paris that they should be constituted into a free and independent State, subject to the Protectorate of England. For thirty years the so-called Protectorate was treated by our Government ae tantamount to an irresponsible as well as a supreme authority. At first there were few murmurs, but after the Greek Revohition, the inhabitants of the Islands began to chafe incessantly at their political condition. They had not been consulted in any way when handed over to oar custody in 1813; and their subsequent experience was not calculated to wean them from their natural and instinctive longing for union with their kinsmen and co-religionista on the main land. How these feelings might have been appeased or tempered had a liberal policy been even then adopted, it were useless now to discuss. But comer Woo was unfortunately delayed until the canker of national distrust and hatred had eaten tato the popular heart ; and when at length a scheme of representative government was prontalg•tad by the Loan Mon Conetwoorran, it was readwed without gratitude, and speedily converted, at the instance of native demagogues and Remian propa gandists, into the means of subversive attack upon the executive power. By a legislative coop d 'fiat the British Government put en end to the state of things thus engendered, and Sir Haney WARD wee commanded by Earl GREY at any oast to restore order. How these instructions were executed we need not say. After tranquillity had for some time been re-established, a modified version of the con stitution was restored, and Sir JOHN Yovso has for the last three years been labouring diligently and honestly, but we regret to add with but indifferent success, to make the population regard it with con fidence, and to make their representatives confide in hint. In his despatches of last year addressed to the late Government, as well as in those addressed by him to the present, Sir Joryt has frankly admitted the hopelessness of the most important part of the task assigned him. By a temperate and judicious nee of his administrative powers he has, indeed, been able to tranquillise some suspicions, and to satisfy many minor demands. He has had the courage to deal openly, yet calmly, with ill-disguised disaffection; he has bad the good untie to meet popular peta lime with equanimity and gooci hamou; ; he L endured the sinister criticism of a provincial press without wincing ; and, above all, he bee permitted the election of representatives to take place without even the imputation of Govern ment isterferenoe. The result is a degree of quiet, and the appearance of contentment generally, such 44 bee not existed for a considerable time. That all this, however, is superficial and unsubstantial, he too well knows; and he would have been wanting in duty to his Sovereign and his country bad he failed to point out its real nature, and the unchangeable tendencies which abide in undiminished force draw ing daily and hourly tae thoughts and aspirations of our reluctant proleirce towards union with the rest of their kindred. He feels that after having done his best to propitiate, palliate, and appease, the in' durable desire remains untouched, of recosrnition as a free Greek community. It is not insular independence, it is sot Republican forms, it is nut any lore of Russia, or any insane coolidence in the wisdom of 07110, that We the repose of the Zentiotee or Cephalonians, and spoils every boon and benefit that England can con fer. It is liss passionate and inappeaseble feeling natienality—that feeling which through long seat arise of degradation and suffering has been kept alive in the Hellenic race, and which neither Ottoman emulous nor British policy has ever been able to subdue. Sir lone Yorvo cannot help seeing that we are wasting our strength ignobly and unwisely in the probegation of such • struggle. With the szeeption of Corfu, none of the islands yield sedleiest revenue to pay for our anneal expenditure upon them. Federalised or otherwise seined with Greece, they would gradually Merano the strength of the only Christian State in the Levant ; and their neutrality in war might be jut as effectually guaranteed as that of the Mores. Cos* has not, according to Sir Jolts Younces repro soutatins, evinced the maw dissatisfaction with oar rule; while the whole of the advantages we are supposed to possess in a naval and military point of view, by reason of our itoodled Protectorate, are concentrated in that prolific and comparatively contented island. We cannot, therefore, be stir- THE EXFRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1858. prised that the attention of our Government should have been formally drawn by the LOILD HIGH COM MUNION= to the importance of seriously considering whether we should not be really Setts{ u both is pecuniary and political point of view, if, while keep ing for Imperial purposes a firm grasp on Corfu, we gave to some of the minor Islands the opting of uniting themselves with fellow-ireentrymen and . . . . fellow-sectaries on the main land. The ;olution of this problem will no doubt form one of the objects of Mr. 01ADOTOXI'S mission extraordinary. TFII prosecution of M. Di MONTALEWBEILT is an egregious blunder ; bat the fault is aggra vated by the warning given to the Revue des DeILZ Messes for an article from the pen of M. R. FORGADI, a writer whose liberal tendencies an, to say the lam, widely re moved from the anarehioaL We need not remind our readers that the Revue is by no means chary of stating its diligent from the policy of the Government in many matters, although the divergenoe of opinion is set forth in terms of the greatest moderation, ' trusting rather to calm argument than to rhetorical flourish or invective. But it is in the Index . worms of Goverment officials in whose eyes it is a crime not to fled that " whatever is, is best," or, when, se in the ease of the sew slave trade, the immediate pest has been officiallyprononnoed wrong, and therm present right, not to make a volts Jae*, and transfer the laudations from the old system to the new. Now M. FORCADE has had the indis credos to put in a plea far freedom of the press; J pram of Mr. Strom Hansaafc recent speech, he has pointed to the fact, that although party bitter- DIMS ran to an extreme height in England, on the great questions of Parliamentary and commercial reform, yet owing to the freedom of the prow she public were enlightened sa to the merits of the arguments on either aide, and learned to detect the exaggenatieme of both parties, so that the dimens ions eventually bore valuable practical results. He proclaims, truly enough, that the day is hopelessly gone by when rulers could persuade the people that kingcraft was a great and tremendous mystery, and reminds all parties that nations can no longer be led by the pretension to the possession of some occult faculty end power, coming from above, like an inspi ration. Government now-a-days is nothing more than the management of the national business, in which the whole people are partners, and have not only the privilege, but the right, to give the osten sible head of the concern an intimation of their views on the conduct of affairs, and that information which he cannot otherwise obtain, es to their wants and their condition. The tribune and the press, the latter more especially, are the only safe channels through which this knowledge can be brought before the chief of the State ; end by shut ting himself out from those sources of information, he is crippling his own governmental resources, and insulting his constituent' by proclaiming to them his belief that they ere utterly unworthy of having an opinion on their own affairs. This notion of the right of the nation to have a voice and an opinion on passing events, is after all not so very democratical, but if it were it is not for the Government of Louts NAPOLSON to object to the theory, seeing that he has told his people over and over again that his regime is the very "fine firer" of democracy, and that he has consecrated and established the liberal principles of the old Revolution. Now every French man possessing a dictionary may turn to the word dsenoeratis," so often in the Ems Eames mouth, and Dee that it is a form of government in which the people have the authority. That such was the in tention of the EMPIIOII is proved, we 11,111) told, by the existence of universal suffrage, which we oligarchs do not pore's. We are oompelled, how ever, to admit that the Imperial Government has taken pains to show that it is a democracy " with a differ " since," and that if " the people" have the authority, it is only " the people" who are disposed to think with the brains and see with the eyes of their rulers. Every man may vote, it is true, but woe betide him if he votes for the wrong candidate. It is right and lawful for prefects and mayors, and small employee of all kinds, to cajole, and canvass, and belly electors, but very wrong, indeed, of any unautho rised moon to endeavour even to persuade them to give a vote to an Opposition or Independent candi date. It is to be hoped that the result of the great Mlosom case has convinced the French Government of the folly and motility of such a system, and we should be glad to see these Press warnings and pro ',cations abandoned, where the writers are guilty of no greater crime than discussing in a fair and reasonable tone questions of national interest. To preach war and anarchy is another thing; a Govern ment must be a very sound one that can tolerate each publications as we And harmless and ridiculous in England; but to prohibit the ventilation of such topics as those mooted by the Count MONTALIMBIRT and M. FORCADE is to shut down the safety-valve and sit upon it, inviting a catastrophe which, for the welfare of France and the peace of Europe, we should ielloitely regret.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVININO. The trial of Count de Moo talembert stands fixed for Wednesday next, Nov. 17, before the sixth chamber of the correctional tribunal. M. Berthelin will be the presiding judge. The Procorear Imperial Cordotien will conduct the prosecution in person. Pursuant to the regulations invented by Napoleon 111. with regard to cases of this kind, the public will not be admitted, and no report of the trial will be allowed to be published. The judgment alone will appear in the French newspapers. It is definitively arranged that M. bufaure will defend M. de Montalembert, and M. Berryer the Correrpondant. It is, however, possible that M. de Montalembert may make a speech on his own behalf. According to the practice of French courts, a prisoner is allowed to speak for himself, although he may employ counsel. Indeed, the judge always asks him whether he has anything to add to what his advocate said. We learn by telegram from Marseilles, that the railway from Cairo to Suez will be open to the public is the wane of December. Another telegram states that the French forces sent to Cochin China have taken possession of the island of Touranne, and that on the strength of an old grant dated in 1787, the island will be declared French territory. The Bourse has been decidedly buoyant. The highest prices of the day were not quite sustained, but the Rents closed firm at 73fr. 90c. and 74fr. with a rise of 10fr. and loft.. It wee reported that several leading bankers and capitalists have combined to devote seventy-five millions of francs to take up stock against the next settlement. It is generally admitted that since the one franc fee for admittance has practically excluded a great portion of the public from the Boorse, the monied interest has much more power to influence the mar ket for speculative purposes than it formerly had. It is expected that the .11fowiteur will shortly publish its annual financial statement, which will, of course, be favourable. Mobilier rose Mr. All the railways were 21r. 30c. to Mr. higher. The Duchess of Hamilton has arrived in Paris, on her way to Compiegne. A paragraph " oommunioated " to the Mositesor du Calvados by the prefect, corrects several erro neous statements with regard to the children of the Jew convict Gugenheim, who were received into the alms-house (hospice) of St. Lords, at Caen, when their parents were arrested. It was at first stated that they had been baptised in the alms-house before they were given up to the Grand Rabbi. Subsequently the Univers, on the faith of a medical correspondent, from whose letter it was to be inferred that he spoke of his own know ledge, stated that four of them had been baptised in articeslo mortis, and that those four hqd all died before the order came for sending them out of the hospital. It was thought very extraordinary that four chil dren should die in so short a space of time, and dark conjectures were even made as to the manner of their end. It appears, however, from the official state ment now made, that, in point of fact, none of them were baptised. Moses Gugenheim, the youngest of the family (there were but four children in all) was for a moment thought to be in ortieulo mortis, and the question of baptising him was discussed, but he ultimately recovered. The Univers, arguing from the false information of its correspondent, and, moreover, pushing its conclusions farther than even the assumed facts justified, boasted that the law of Rome was the same all over the world, and insi nuated that if the children had been baptised, they would not have been given up to the Rabbi to be educated in the Jewish religion. This supposition is all nonsense. The children were confided to the care of the Grand Rabbi, simply because they were born Jews, and because, although their parents were criminals of the darkest dye, the I French government, acting impartially upon the doctrines of religions liberty established in Franoe, felt that it had no mission to bring up those children in any other religion than that which their parents would have done. The fact of their having been baptised would most certainly have made no dif ference. ITALY. • PIEDMONT. Vhe Corriere airmaille of Genoa states that the opening of the Piedmoaters parliament is fixed for the 9rd January. (TROIN OUR OWN NICE, Nov. 8. Russian families continue to pour in by steamer and by post-chaise, and the Slavonic element de• cidedly prevails here. The shop windows contain mysterious placards in Russian characters which communicate the pleasing fiction that " Russian is spoken here," while the confectioners indulge in a display of Russian liquors with singular names, which completely cut into the shade the exhibition of pickles and sauces in the British groceries, formerly one of the ornaments of the place. You cannot enter the club without seeing a Russian gloating over the coarse flattery addressed to his national vanity by the Nord of Brussels. It is im possible to enter a library or reading•room with out perceiving Mrs. General Stikinomndovitch making earnest inquiries for the address of Mn. General Gruboffsky, and hearing her rate the master of the satablisment for ignoring that important information. The Russian young ladies are charming specimens of the sex, but their mammas generally have a hungry and discontented expression of countenance. Their papas are tall, slim men with moustaches, who seem eaten up by spleen, while their brothers wear bright coloured kid gloves over dirty nails, and seem to think breaking the bank at Baden-Baden the noblest achievement within the grasp of man. Many of the newly-arrived Russian families have passed the summer .Eason at Baden-Baden, and speak somewhat bitterly of the deceptions to which they were exposed by the impudent represen tations of a portion of the French press. One of the most offensive features of the present state of journalism in France is the existence of the Baden- Baden correspondents, whose effusions must be familiar to every reader of the Paris journals (with the exception of the DAM: and oat or two others) anti of the Russo-Belgian I prints. These correspondents, from the commence meet of the season to its close, indulge in the most loathsome adulation of M. Benazet, the proprietor of the gambling-tables of Baden ; they proclaim him the noble spirit of the age, and they lament that their language is too colourless to render full justice to the merits of the comedies, comic operas, &c., produced on the boards of his theatre. Truth compels me to add that the youths with fast-coloured gloves and dingy nails—to whom allusion has been pro claim the said theatre a bore, and earnestly desire the proprietor of the gaming tables to suppress the institution, along with one of the two zeros of the roulette, by means of which the imprudent visitors are made to pay the piper, as also the man who com poses for the piper, and also the men who throw themselves into fictitious raptures at the performance of the piper. Three days ago we were visited by a snow storm, and, after two days brilliant sunshine, we are again threatened with the visitation. Many years have elapsed since scow was known to have fallen hire early in November, but everything tends to prove that we have no ordinary winter before us.

The olive crop is now being collected, but as this is the bad year when the fruit is wormeaten, only very inferior oil will be obtained. A fine olive crop is collected every other year; the same rule governs the orange groves, while the lemon trees present the pleasing sight of blossom, buds, and mature fruit all prospering at the same time. The Grand Doke Constantine of Russia is expected in the second fortnight of this month; the first Boor of the Hotel Victoria, which was engaged for him two months ago by the Russian consul, from the 16th November to the 15th December, has been newly decorated for the occasion.

FRENCH OPINION OP THE AWOL= PRESS. -- The following is a translation of a portion of an article by M. E. Forced* In the last number of the liersoe des Dean Monde., referred to In another column : " Mr. Sidney Herbert—a statesman called to power by his vocation, en eloquent and manly orator—with a se lf . denial which doss honour to the rectitude of his mind and his conscience, admits that the prate, by its Increasing import ance, lessens the duty of parliament in the mechanism of English liberties, and he does not regret It; on theoontrary, be congratulates himself on it, because, by instructing the mosso., the press enlarges each day the circle of the citizens who are informed of the affairs of their country, and who are capable of appreciating its conduct. We have not the courage to institute a comparison Wyss' the French press, es it now exists, and that superb sketch of the English Lemtraced by Mr. Sidney Herbert. The contrast bo cruel for our national eelf-love. But will it be thought that fn what he says there le not a warning for oar Interests f The press is the most powerful instrument of government In the mechanism of modern societies. It is ex pected to make and to promote incessantly the economical sod political education of every one. Wil l it be thought that it is a matter of indifference for the Intellectual develop ment of France, for it, economical Intonate, Its prceperlty, and its glory, that the political press should be indefinitely maintained in a situation which enervates it? tt Assuredly, it Is of the enemies of liberty that we have the right to say that they know what they do. People often complain in Prance of the silence of parties, and of the sentiments of hatred which animate them against each other; and political passions are used as a pretext for the prescription of liberty. But what passes in England shows the inconsistency of oar conduct Political enmity wee at oat time carried as far se pomible in England ; at the pre sant day it may be said to be unknown; and this great change his taken piece in our time, and before our eyes. While we are witnessing this marvellous effect, we are enabled to explain the cease which produced it. Each new deeelop went given to liberty has been accompanied by program In the paci fi cation of minds and the improvement of political usages. Catholic Emancipation, Parliamentary Reform, the Abolition of the Corn Laws such are the ac of liberalism and of justice which meatv s acts wrought this generous extinction of political hatreds. The harmony which reigns between the great agents of Eugliah political life is established between the &yer parties, and it substantially exists between their principal chief.. Politicol life no longer cheriehes theme in veterate irritations, which are fed by an obstinate demist of justice. Parties and persons no longer interchange hatred and contempt; their struggles are no longer but an emulation which allows rivals in talent and patriotism to esteem while they oombateach other. We are proLandedly oonvinced that the program of liberalism would produce the same results in our own country. Generosity begets generosity. For our own pert, after the political vicissitude* which France, parties and individuals have hed to pass through in our time, and which they must yet look for, when we call to mind the past, and ponder on the future, the sentiment which animates as towards public men is indulgence when we =mot express to them our sympethies. But frank and open liberty can alone calm the concentrated irritation' which have survived our disorders. We need not express an opinion on the proceedings in stituted against Y. de Monist/10mi and a certain periodical publication for an article from the pen of the eloquent orator relating to an /pleads of the last oetelon of the English par liament Our mentintowe oa promentkas of the peer are note meant.
