The Temps of yesterday contains the following : In the paragraph of his speech referring to Mexioo, the Emperor refers to French intonate Si the only interests to be taken Into amount in deciding upon the maintenance or the recall of our troops, We felt band in oar yesterday's remarks to insist upon this point in the speech, and to draw the acclaims from it that the French government does not consider itself bound up with that of the Emperor Maximilian. Oar interpretation is singularly confirmed to-day, by the manner in which the Mexican question is regarded in the Report upon the Position of the Empire. We have placed under the eyes of our raiders the passage of the document !elan( to this subject. They will have noticed the distinctness with which the govern- ment repels all idea of monarchical proselytism, and the cars with which it tr►nsfers the respoeaibility of the new Mexican monarchy either to the influential men of the country who conceived the project, or to the popula tions which have been called upon to decide on this point. We could not refuse them our sympathy, continues the document, batik was not for that we went to Mexico; our sole object was to obtain reparation, and we could not have sent troops there for the purposes of intervention without placing ourselves in contradiction with a fundamental principle of our public law. In a word, "We carried our arms into that country by virtue of the rights of war, and we have remaiaed there until this moment in order to assure the result of the war; that is, to obtain the guarantees and the securities which the interests of our countrymen claim." It ia difficult to be more explicit, or, as we said in commencing, to repudiate more distinctly the w arship which the public feared to see established between the French Empire and that of Mexico. Why, in fact, should we consider ourselves as charged with the interests of Maximilian L and the cause of the monarchy in Mexico! Either we have endowed that country with a form of government the people did not ask for, and then, as the report says, we have thereby followed a course contrary to the fendamental principles of our public law, or we have merely requested the people them selves to decide, and in that case it is they who must support the government they have chosen ; and if that government is no longer acceptable to them, it rests with them to change it once more. With the principles which the French government has here just enunciated it is impossible far the Mexican ques tion not to be promptly settled. It may be said that it is se already, and that there are henceforth only measures of execution to be taken. THE YOUNG PRINCE ODDONE. The Florence Nazione writes as follows of the young Prince Oddons, whew death has just been announced : "Another national sorrow His Royal Highness Prince Oddone, Duke of Monfeirato, fourth son of our King, died last night after • long and painful illness. Simple and affable M manners, gentle and reflective in disposition, of • kind and generous heart, studious habits, and culti vated and intelligent mind, he had gained universal affec tion, esteem, and devotion. It may well be said of him that be worthily bore his great name, and althotuth very young, had already given evidence that he would h►ve become one of the best and most highly instructed princes of his time. Re was • captain in the royal navy, and directed his studied more particularly to maritime matters. For this reason, and ea account of the mild climate and delightful position of its gulf, he had thleeted the city of Genes for his habitual reeids•w. The Ligurian population all knew hint w easelly, and warmly reciprocated the epeeist affection he bore towards them.

The draft of the budget of 1867 has been pre sented to the Chamber. The ordinary expendi ture is calculated at 1,524 million franca, and the ordinary revenue at upwards of 1,622 millions. After appropriating from the latter 88 millions for the extraordinary budget, there will remain a surplus of 10,500,000 francs. The issue of Treasury bonds is to be limited to 150 million franca.

The Ler•ant Herald of Jan. 17 says :—"The nominations to the forthcoming cholera conference are now nearly com pleted, and the conference itself will, we learn, bold its first sitting early in the coming month. The Hon. W. Stuart, H.M. secretary of embassy—with a medical associate not yet named—will be the British representative ; Count Lel 'emend, as already stated, will be the French member ; and the Italian, Belgian, and Swedish ministers will respec tively represent their several governments. Persia has also been admitted to the hygienic concert, and will contribute the wisdom and science of Teheran through the months of Malkom Khan and Dr. Sasses Bey. The other powers, including the United States, have also appointed their dele gates, but the names have not yet bees announced. In the meantime, it is sufficiently plain that the conference Is to be rather diplomatic than medical, and that the result will perforce put a degree of pregame on the Porte which A'ali Pacha hardly foresaw when he so readily fell in with the French proposal.' Tax Wcsirrit llr Paitsia.—A. correspondent, writing from Teheran on December 21, say. : " The rue novelty of a very heavy fall of • snow has occurred here, to ►n extent surpassing anything in the memory el the very eldest inhabit►nt.' The house-tops bare been covered feet deep, and many of the narrower streets have been completely blocked up with the snow shovelled down from the terraces above. The fall has, indeed, been so heavy as to have borne down many large trees, amongst others, several of the finest in the British Mission garden. One magnificent cypress, which stood before the palace, and which was Invisible in spring from the jasmine and rue creepers which clothed it, now lies prostrate at the gate. Bat it is a jolly time for the beggars, to whom the Par isians are very charitable on snob occasions, and who also find good cheer of beefy pilaff at our legation, where Mr. Alison has ordered ample store of it to be dispensed daily to all deserving amen.

The United States government, which has achieved a signal diplomatic triumph in the MexL can question, will yet have to remain firm, and not suppose that imperial promises will be fulfilled further than imperious necessity may compel the fulfilment of them. Already semi-official writers are trying to explain away the plain purport of the Emperor's declaration that the evacuation of Mexico is at hand. The France to-night says that the latest despatches between the two governments " will not be published so soon as was supposed ;" that "nego tiations are still going on ;" that besides the " French interests" spoken of by the Emperor which France originally went to Mexico to protect, there are " new interests " created " under the shadow of the French flag," and on behalf of which the " moral responsibility "of France is engaged. This means that France must ensure the full pay ment of all the Mexican loans. The interests of the speculators who, tempted by exorbitant interest, invested in that bad security, the franca terms " respeetable,"' and, forgetting hew entphatieslly the government orators denied, in the Corps Legis latif, that France was in any way responsible for Maximilian's loans, it now affirms unblushingly that "French credit stands associated with that of Mexico." The question raised by the France is, I believe, now the only serious one. All chivalrous ideas of success in Mexico are abandoned, but a desperate struggle is to be made on behalf of the money which French subjects were encouraged to risk in the venture. A discussion, which of course will lead to nothing, is going on while I write in the Corps Legislatif, about the legality of Count Welewski's nomination to the presidency of the Corps Legis latif. M. Jules Farm, M. Glair-Bizoin, and others are speaking. It is stated that Prince Napoleon is immediately going to Italy to pass a month in visiting picture galleries. If this news is true the presumption can only be that the Emperor desires to prevent him from speaking on the address in the Senate. The Appeal Court of Rouen this day gave judgment in the case of Captain Bourdon, sen tenced to 18 months' imprisonment for negligence I in allowing the escape of a prisoner confided to I his care on an accusation of being a mutineer in the Federisarca, and who jumped overboard shortly before reaching Havre. The court has reversed the judgment of the tribunal below and relieved the captain from • sentence which I remember stigmatising as iniquitous. The Bourse was not active, but again closed with firmness. Rents rose 50. for cash and 20. for account. Diobilier rose 2fr. 50c. The Daily News is seized. Madame Saqui, the rope-dancer, whose fame dates from the beginning of this century, died on Tuesday in her 80th year. It is recorded of her that on the occasion of the birth of the First Napoleon's son, the King of Rome, she offered to dance on a rope between the two towers of Notre Dame. Napoleon refused to allow the exhibition. Subsequently she apppeared, in defiance of the Emperor's prohibition, on her rope.. in the midst of a display of fireworks—a feat then novel, and one which excited the utmost astonishment. When she heard that the Emperor was in a great rage at his command having been dis obeyed, she said, "Tell him to give orders to his grenadiers, and let us risk our lives as we like, for ' our glory." She made a large fortune at the little theatre on the Boulevard du Temple, which for many years bore her name, and afterwards became the Delassemente Comiques, and then pur chased with her savings Voltaire's house and grounds at Ferney, but was very soon obliged to sell it, and during the latter years of her life was in great poverty. Only four years ago she danced at the Hippodrome, where, at the age of seventy-six, it was a wondrous but sorry sight to see her. The now rare circumstance of a military execu tion occurred at Lille on Tuesday. A soldier of the 10th Regiment, named Eyraut, was shot in the presence of the entire garrison, pursuant to sen tence of a court-martial, for assaulting and wound ing an officer. The Marquis de Saffie, aged 24, was thrown from his horse on Tuesday in the Champs Elyseia, and so severely injured that be died a few hours afterwards in the Beaujon Hospital, to which he had been carried after the accident.

The fireman, Marsh, is thoroughly satisfied that there wee no gas in the pit on Tuesday morning, es he examined all the places properly, and also superintended the firing of every shot that morning. The only conjecture as to the caused the explosion is one which Mr. Mercer is taking measures to test. lie believes it possible that there may have been • blower or sudden outburst of gas from the floor of the mime at the spot which is fixed as that where the gas ignited, and that the rush of this may have blown the ligl I of the safety lamp through the gauze, supposing the lamp was standing on the floor, and so caused the ezplostou.

ADDITIONAL] THE LAMBETH GUARDIANS AND THE CASUAL POOR. The arrangements for the casual poor at Lambeth are u shamfully inefficient as before the recent exposure. We will go further, and say that the disgraceful condition of the sleeping plues provided for such male casuals as cannot be aecommodated in the regular ward is as foul a blot upon parochial management as has yet been hit. For the revels dons of the amateur casual are supposed to have put the Lambeth guardians on their mettle— an influential local meeting has been held, at which the hasty judgments of the public have been deprecated—the rector of the parish has vouched for the admirable character of the arrangements made—the Poor-law Board has given the fell weight of its official authority to the enforcement of alterations—and moat of us have fondly supposed that the horrors described and hinted at as taking place in the shed were no longer possible. Instead of this, the chances of their existence have been aggra vated& thousandfold by the measure put forward and accepted as a reform. The shed, with all its draw backs, was a palace oompared to the rooms which now supplement the casual ward. The various gentlemen who visit Lambeth Workhouse at this time, and who inscribe in its visitors' book their commendations of the comforts it provides for casuals, should extend their researches to the lodg ing-house just chartered by the guardians. The beautifully ordered "show" ward—the swept and empty shed—the clean and burnished baths—the cocoa matting, to preserve the bather's feet from contact with the stairs—the cheerhil, fire, kept up all night—the bright but carefully mode rated gas—the perfect ventilation—the symme trical order of the barrack beds—the ample supply of pure drinking water—the clean, well-aired blue night-gown provided for each sleeper—combine to make the recognised accommodation at Lambeth, for both male and female casuals, resemble that of some favoured boarding school, where the mistress is kind-hearted and the master liberal. It is more luxurious than any of the refuges. It would compare advan tageously—and this is a bold word—with the most exquisite of model prisons. Who can wonder, therefore, that guardians and their friends are indignant at the allegations made against an estab lishment where the comforts are so obvious, and the kind care taken of vagrants so palpable and marked? On going over this male casual ward for the fourth time last Wednesday night, its superiority to some others seemed as great as ever'; and it was not until the filthy horrors of the sleeping plains not ordinarily seen by visitors were realised that the der cription of the shed scenes came home with renewed force. Some quarter of a mile from the workhouse, and near the river-aide, is the lodging-house to which all male casuals are now sent who apply for shelter after the casual ward is fulL At half-past ten on the night in question in one of its upper rooms, a cramped little place in which perhaps half a dozen small bedsteads might be packed, more than twice that number of men and youths lay huddled on the floor. They were all perfectly naked, and had clustered together for the sake of animal heat, just as sleeping swine are seen to do. They rusted upon what seemed to be hay mattresses but which were ranged close together, without any division, so that they made practically one huge floor-bed for each side of the room. The naked sleepers had rugs for covering, and on an adventurous visitor turn. ing down one of these the brawny figures of three muscular tramps—bare as when they came into the world—were seen to be entwined together, an indistinguishable mass of naked flesh. Youths lay in the arms of meo, men were enfolded in each other's embrace ; there was neither fire nor light nor supervision, and the weak and feeble were at the complete mercy of the strong and ruffianly. The sir was laden with a pestilential stench, and though the recumbent figures appeared too tired and exhausted for any active or boisterous devilry, the scene was as revolting as anything told us of the prisons Howard shuddered at and reformed. The only people in charge of these wretched casuals were the son of the keeper of the lodging. house and her old male servant. On our asking for the certificate of registration which should be kept in each room in accordance with the provisions of the Common Lodging-house Act, we were coolly told that since the place had been taken by the Lambeth Workhouse it was no longer a registered house. Thus, the parochial authorities, instead of hiring beds in a lodging house, have hired a lodging-house to demoralise it, and have thrust their casual paupers into a place in comparison to which the condemned shed is a sanitary elysium, and between which and the certi fied "show" ward there is as wide a discrepancy as between the hold of a slave ship and the saloon cabins of a passenger steamer. The word of promise has been kept to the Poor law Board while its spirit has been shamefully broken, and at the very moment guardians were declaiming against unjust aspersions, and a clergy man denouncing "sentimental sympathy," naked paupers were being packed away in a fashion im possible in the worst of gaols, and offering an invi tation and an encouragement to physical and moral dim• Nein Abadan ; Ufa Ardzemes Gremarma.

Renewed out would, doubtlem, have to be dealt with infected neighbourhoods, but the loss would be trifling in comparison with the devastation that may soon be witoessed, if farmers go on with futile attempts at curative treatment. The average of recoveries in Scotland does not amount to three wasted animal. out of twenty, and these are saved at the expense of infecting other stocks. And let it be remembered that the danger is unusually great in Ayrshire, OD account of the small sire of the dairy farms, and the contiguity of stocks to each other. —Ayr Advertiser.

One of the warders, al old pauper nearly 70 years of age, said the man moved his hand to his head when he went in on that moruisg, but soon afterwards, en taking him his breakfut, he was toned to be dead.
