It is said they are losing their grand old features, and are becoming but shadows of their former mighty selves. People w'ao can remember England without railways like to tell of the great north road being snowed up and com munications between town and country cut off : they talk of the old times till they half persuade themselves that there is a sign of something wrong in receiving your letters regu larly in mid-winter. Let us hope they are now pleased. The snow fall of yesterday might satisfy the most inveterate amateurs of heavy weather ; but if it does not, there is comfort in tho thought that more is to follow. London presented some remarkable aspects yester day. The well-shod and well-clad had only to go into our squares and gardens to enjoy a picture of surpassing beauty ; every form of nature and art which we are accustomed to see begrimed with dirt and soot having its exposed lines and surfaces set off with the pure drifted snow. It seemed as if Nature would for one day pleasantly assert her title in this great Babel. This was the agreeable aide of out-door life ; but it had heavy drawbacks. Unfortunate were the thousands who had business in the City yesterday, and could not avail them selves of the Metropolitan Railway. More than half-a-million of persons visit London from the suburbs, and elsewhere every working day, and yesterday those who had engage ments which they could not postpone had to make their way through a storm without the aid of the omnibus, on the aid of which they are accustomed implicitly to depend. The ordinary arrangements for the passenger traffic of the metropolis were in abeyance. In the morning a few omnibuses started, but only a portion of these reached their destination, and later in the day not a public conveyance was anywhere to be seen. The main lines of communication between the City and the west were abandoned to slow-moving waggons. Here and there a few idlers might be seen collected round a brougham immovably embedded in the snow, and tendering the absurdest suggestions, mingled with mock condolence to the coachman ; but at four o'clock Fleet-street, ordinarilyso difficult of passage, had no more traffic than the High-street of a country town. The cab service was thrown out of order as completely as that of the omni buses. Very few vehicles left the yards, and as two horses were required for these, the hire in all cases became a matter of negotiation. Last night the streets remained blocked with snow, and beyond Sir RICHARD Idouts's notification to occu:nela to keep the footways before their houses clean, nothing had been done to make locomotion safe or even possible. In a few hours we shall see whether the capital has or has not a Government. Tho snow-fall of yesterday, it may be alleged, took every oody by surprise ; at all events no arrangements could be made beforehand to prevent the inconvenience which such an occurrence would produce. But the same excuse will not be available to-day. The snow usurps our streets, animals suffer severely, business is impeded, and the strongest and most healthy anirdig us are subjected to great discom fort and grievous loss of time. The evil is more likely to increase than diminish, for appa rently a great body of snow is still in suspense, and will soon add to the present accumulation. But the inconvenience at present endured, is nothing in comparison with that which will be felt when, sooner or later, the thaw takes place. Then, if nothing is done to anticipate the occasion, as on the memorable 11th of January in last year, we shall see our streets deluged with a detestable slush, which will be churned up, hour after hour, by innumerable wheels, and be sure to be most abundant at the intersections of the streets and at accustomed points of transit. Not at the Carriboo diggings can travelling be more wretched than it is in London when a thaw has succeeded a fall of snow. Now, are the heavily taxed inhabitants of London to resign themselves to these miseries with their eyes open ? Are all our venerated parochial and more recent semi-municipal institutions to prove themselves once more good for nothing It is said that there are an unusual number of labourers—we forget how many thousands— out of employ in the East of London. The ordi nary surplus, however, that may be found in good times about the Dock gates, would make a formid able brigade. If men are wanted, why cannot these labourers be organized and set to work to clear the streets T The money that this labour would cost does not constitute the reason. We should all be willing to pay the extra cost of clearing the thoroughfares. for we should get the money back in comfort and convenience, not to say in actual saving of expenditure. Let our go verning bodies show at this time that they have learned something, and are not so incapable as their enemies are fond of asserting. TEE Ministerial newspapers announce that Mr. MANMEL, the Reader in Moral and Meta physical Philosophy at 31agdalen College, has been nominated to the Regius Professorship of Eccle siastical History in the University of Oxford. We have looked fur some explanation of this appoint THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1867. mont, for which nothing in Mr. 'KASSEL'S career had prepared the public. In the regions of metaphysical science—in the inquiries which have the facts and relations of consciousness for their objects--Mr. Matosai. has made for himself a repu tation which no one can desire to call in ques tion, although some have found in his philosophical principles the confirmation of a system utterly inconsistent with Christianity. Making due allowance, however, for their nega tivism, the Bampton Lectures of 1858 are a remarkable specimen of logical acuteness. But why performances of this order should be held to qualify for the teaching of history, is a matter which we should be glad if some of our Ministerial contemporaries would explain. It is usual, it is decorous, to require some apparent evidence of special fitness in a person appointed to • Chair in a national University. To neglect or not to require such qualifications is to put the greatest alight upon the subject which the Professor is expected to teach. The study of Ecclesiastical History, however, should be held in consideration at Oxford if anywhere. At present this appointment stands greatly in need of explanation. It looks as though the round peg had got into the square hole. Mr. MANSEL quits a position for which he was eminently fit, to take one for which many scholars must be better—few could be less—qualified. It cannot be necessary to take a metaphysician and make him a Professor of History, when men like Canon ROBERTSON are to be found. But perhaps Mr. ROBSRTSON, having distinguished himself as a Church historian, is to succeed Mr. Maxim. as Reader in Metaphysics. The proprieties are not ordinarily thus outraged without strong reasons. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) Eke Cant. OSBORNE., Jax. 2. The Queen, accompanied by Princes" Christian and Princess Beatrice, drove out yesterday aftermoon, and the other members of the Royal Family walked in the grounds. Pm' es Leopold walked out this morning, attended by Mr. Legg. Yesterday being New Year's Day, a Christmas-tree was prepared by her Majesty's command for the upper ser vants of the establishment at Osborne, and another for those attending the Servants'-hall. The upper servants assembled at 6 o'clock, and shortly afterwards the Queen and the Royal Family entered the room, when her Majesty handed a present to each. The Queen and the Royal Family then proceeded to the Servanta'-hall, where her Majesty distributed gifts in like manner to those present, numbering about one hundred and thirty, and in the evening they were entertained with a supper. Her Majesty was attended by the Dowager Duchess of Athole. Despatches were received yesterdoy at the Colonial edice from the Governor of Canada. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES. —Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh are expected to leave Holkham Hall, the seat of the Earl of Leicester, at the close of this week, for Sandringham House. Th e weather since Tuesday has been of the most inclement character, the cold being more intense in Norfolk than it has been since the famous winter of 1860. The resources afforded by a grand country house and estate such as Holkham are sufficient, however, to compensate in a great measure even for the inalemencies of a severe winter, and the Earl and Countess of Leicester have not failed to do their utmost to promote the comfort and amusement of their royal visitors, and their other distinguished guests. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ROME. THE POPE'S ADDRESSES. We find the following in the Italia of Dec. 27 : On Christmu-day the Pope officiated pontifically as usual in the bullies of tha Vatican. After mar he re tired to the Chapel of the Pieta, where he received the compliments and felicitations of the sacred college, which ware offered to him by Cardinal Patrizzi. The cardinal gave expression to the great consolation which he and his colleagues felt at seeing the perfect tranquillity of the Holy Father. The Pope, in replying to the address of the ardin►l, said that he was tranquil because he knew that he was de fending the mum of God and of the church. Therefore he hoped for the aid of the Lord. He cried out with the prophet David—Dot/tines illuminati° rya, protector itrr stem: a quo trepida&ot—" The Lord is my light ; the pro tector of my life : whom shall I fear !" He then added that he was ready to endure any persecution. He had a few days ago received letters from the Corea referring to the death of several missionaries in that country. Two only escaped from their savage persecutors, and it was from them he had received the account of the death of their confrires. The Pope said it was necessary to be ready to suffer all for the church—that in the Europe of the pre sent day the church wu persecuted by deceptions, by seductions, by lying promises, by unjust requisitions and demands—certain persons, by means of rare diplomatic ability, putting forth mighty promises to induce the Holy See to make concessions. Such persons imitate the Devil when he tempted Christ in the desert. He took Christ up to the top of a mountain alone, and he showed him all the kingdoms of the world, telling him that he would give them to him if he would only adore him. But as for us we should not allow our selves to be seduced by these promises. Others come with the olive branch of peace, requiring of us that we should yield to their wishes. But we shall always resist false promises, and we shall reject everything that is contrary to the principles of justice, to the good of the church, and to the dignity of the Holy See. We desire peace, but it must be a peace that is not injurious to the honour of God and of his religion. The Pope spoke (adds the Italia) with surprising vivacity, his words were characterised by great energy ; but still, they should not discourage Signor Tonello ; for the Pope, while desirous of preserving intact the rights of the Holy See, is disposed to come to an understanding with the Italian government on the religious question. The same journal contains the substance of the reply made by the Pope to M. Render, the Minis ter of Arms, who presented his homage to the Holy Father in the name of his officers and troops. The Pope, in reply, said that he was gratified by the noble sentiments expressed in the name of the troops by the Ministerof Arms and he hoped that nobody would fail in his duty. He then remarked two facts which should serve as a warning to the officers. He read on the previou evening in a journal published in " the kingdom of liberty," an article stating that Rome would fall, not from violence, but little by little, in consequence of the hesita tion which was manifested in the Pontifical army, which was composed of so many various elements end would come into collision with the people. Bu this (added the Pope) is a calumny. The Roman people are firmly devoted to the Holy See, and it is necessary to show more and more by facts the enormity of these calum nies. A man (said he) well-known for his revolutionary ideas, has been introduced, within these few days past, into the pontifical territory. He has been arrested, and on him was found • letter from one of his friends, de. siring him not to compromise himself, to be prudent ►nd patient, as brave patriots would soon come to deliver Rome from clerical tyranny, and render her the mistress of herself. At the reception of the Senator of Rome and the Mu nicipal Council, the Pope said that there were but few dilletanti revolutionists in Rome, and that he might conse quently reckon on the preservation of tranquillity. A Florence letter in the Libert4 has the following : The Pontifical Zonaves will very probably be the cause of the fall of the Papal throne, which they are charged to defend. That corps, composed of about 2,500 men, la formed principally of young French and Belgian nobles. The Italians say they are arrogant and quarrelsome. When those soldiers enter the cafés, the inhabitants quit the place and shim them in every manner ; in a word, the people treat them as the Italians did the Austrians in Venice. For • conflict to break out an occasion is all that is wanting, and this may occur at any moment. That the progress of • revo lution can be indicated beforehand may appear strange, but outbreaks in Italy are not the re sult of chance or of some unforeseen incident as in France ; they are the consequence of a previous concert and a sort of strategic manoeuvre. The Antibes Legion is at present less obnoxious to the people than the Pontifical Zouaves, for the reason that the former body proceeds in • certain measure from the French govern ment, with which the Italians are anxious riot to quarrel the Zouaves, on the contrary, consist of legitimists, and are considered as adversaries of the empire. Consequently the attitude first observed with respect to the Antibes legion has been modified, in order to avoid any conflict with that corps. (aztrnies TILEGRAM&) OPENING OF THE PORTUGUESE CORTES. THE KING'S SPEECH. LISBON, JAX. 3. The Cortes were opened to-day by the King in person. In the speech from the throne, which was of unusual length, his Majesty said that the visit of the Queen of Spain bore evidence to the good understanding between the two courts and the friendly relations existing between the two kindred nations. The King announced the conclusion of a treaty of commerce and a consular convention with France, and of a literary and artistic copyright treaty with Belgium. Relative to internal affairs his Majesty said the principal matters requiring attention were the organisation of the army, the state of the national finances, and the question of slavery in the Portuguese colonies. A POLITICAL ESCAPAIIt. While Mr. Cardwell missed the opportunity, at the Druid's banquet this week, of persuading his auditors that be is • model of political deportment, Mr. Neate's speech, the Daily NEWS says, was not wanting in the in evitable surprise. Carrying to a practical extreme which few politicians have reached, the doctrine of the individu ality of the individual, Mr. Neste is always making mid den bolts from the track in which he is marching. The point on which the bon. gentleman on this occasion broke loose was his declaration of hostility, if not to the ab stract right, yet to the practical exercise of the right of public meeting, save under conditions which would make it at times a barren nullity. He talks of public meetings as if discussion were their solo or primary object. But notoriously even in ordinary times they're held for the ex pression of an opinion already formed, and their importance ii judged but by the numbers and apparent earnestness of those who attend them. Does Mr. Neste think that the party which the reasoning of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Mill failed to convince, is likely to be persuaded by the reported oratory of Mr. Beales and Mr. Ernest Jones ? An attempt to exercise physical terrorism over the delibera tions of parliament could not for a moment be allowed. But an orderly display of numbers, and of • single convic tion and purpose animating them, is an appeal to the reason and conscience of legislators, and not to their fears• When Mr. Neate declares that the liberal party will not participate in demonstrations of mere numbers, and that they will support any government who will put them down, we must oak for the credentials which authorise him so to speak. At the time of the recent procession of the trades, no one could be found to swear th►t he feared • breach of the peace, but it is to be hoped Mr. Neste will not be wanting on a future occasion. He will be much better employed in facilitating the arrangements of the next demonstration by deposing on oath to his terrors, than by uttering foolish and unheeded protest' in the House of Commons. THE SNOW IN THE STREETS.-OUR MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES. The Times describes our metropolitan authorities as waking up yesterday morning in • state of aa blank sato. nishmant and utter helplessness as if they bad been the ministers of the King of Siam and had lived in the Siamese capital, as, indeed, they deser►e to do. The consequence was that the snow had its own way with us, and inflicted upon us all day long the miseries and the damage with which this Siamese indifference has made us familiar. The amount of private Inconvenience, to say nothing of the in terruption of business, was incalculable, and yet all this might have been easily avoided. Oa the lst of January more than 21,000 able-bodied paupers re ceived relief because they were doing nothing, and 4,000 were actually within the walls of the work houses. What might not have been effected before noon yesterday by the labour of 4,000 adult able-bodied men? If it were known that on a fall of snow certain authorities would at once employ all the labour they could find for the purpose of clearing the streets, can anybody doubt that they would be instantly besieged by crowds of hungry applicants for work? In fact, if it were thus treated, a fall of snow in the midst of winter would be almost a boon to the poor. As to carrying the snow away when swept together, for what pur pose does there exist • perfect army of con tractors' carte, if not to clear the streets? It is the collapse of • rotten municipal organisation. There is not a capital in Europe—we might almost say in the world—in which such • relapse into barbarism would be tolerated. St. Petersburg has • great deal more snow than London ; yet if • fail of .now occurs during the night in the Rusaian capital, however heavy it may be, before the inhabitants have occasion to go about in the morning the pavement is as smooth and the road as passable as it was the day before. If the scandal is not promptly removed, there is not an official, from the head of the government depsi talent whose business it is to look after the metro polis, down through the Board of Works, the corporation, and the other obsolete entities of the metropolis, to the dullest guardian or the meanest vestryman, who ought not to be ashamed to show his face in public. The Post reminds its readers of the consequences which result to the poor from the severe weather, and urges well-to-do people to distribute at such a season woollen and cotton fabrics, firing, and worn articles of household use. In such a way many helpless and destitute people may be enabled to pass through the trying ordeal of the season. SPAIN. The Tines gives a narrative of recent events in Spain up to the late dispersion of the deputies and the arrest of Serrano, which incident shows a disposition on the part of the Queen's Council to shrink from no extremities. But whatever sympathies one may feel for the Spanish people, it is, the Tines believes, hardly possible to expect any good to come out of Spain. The nation has for the last score of piers altogether abdicated its dignity ; it has renounced its birthright, and lost all power of self-government. Whatever fault may be found with Isabella I/., she is very Spanish, very catholic. It was only yesterday that the Spanish government attained such a degree of tolera tion as to allow foreign Jews to purchase • burial ground, though on condition that it should be hidden by high walls, that it should have no chapel, and that no religious service whatever should ever be celebrated within its pre cincts. It is by such measures as these the Queen wins Spanish hearts. There seems now nothing left, says the Daily News, for the Spanish government to do, in order to perfect its title to the hatred and contempt of the country. A more de grading state of things it is impossible to conceive. The farce of dissolving the Cortes and convoking a new chamber can deceive no one. The government ac knowledges no rule but its own convenience, and is not likely to tolerate liberal deputies in the capital when it cannot endure the presence of MM. Rios y Roses and Salaverria. Fur the present • despotic power, of an intensity which would satisfy even Mr. Carlyle, is rampant, and apparently unassailable. It is not easy indeed to see whence deliverance is to come. It is to be remembered, however, that deliverance has come under circumstances equally unpropitious ; hours as dark s this have immediately preceded the dawn. It can hardly be that the spirited Spanish nation has resigned it self to lie prostrate at the feet of a profligate woman whose court is shunned by all that is pure and honest in the country, and who has surrendered the laws she was bound to protect to a brutal soldier and an ignorant monk. HR. LOWE AND THE WORKING CLASSES. The following correspondence has been forwarded to the Times for publication : " 10, Clarendon-gardens, Maids-vale, W., Jan. 1, 1867. " Sir,—Believing you will kindly pardon the liberty I take in thus addressing you, I venture to do so, not with the presumptuous object of questioning the views you have seen fit to take on a subject of profound importance to the present interests and future welfare of this country, but with the more simple one of asking, in all earnest. ness and anxiety, if the great meetings, unprecedented in numbers, order, and enthusiasm, held during the recess have not induced you to modify your harsh, unjust, and unfortunate opinions about the working classes expressed during the last session of parliament—opinions which have tended more than aught else to rouse a spirit of stern, inflexible resolve, and which, if allowed to foster among the muses a sense ' of wrong xnd insult, may lead to consequences which few expect and none desire. But surely you will be ready to confess that the recent gatherings have been characterised by uniform decorum and good conduct, by an entire ab sence of drunkenness, violence, turbulence, and the other vices enumerated by you ; that on those occasions at least the industrial populations have evinced an honourable eagerness to sacrifice time, means, comfort, and con venience in a cause which they were sufficiently enlightened to consider sacred and beneficial. As • member of the Reform League Executive, I should cer tainly deem it neither wise nor necessary here to indicate the moral to which such imposing and convincing demon strations of self-control and intelligence appear to me un mistakably to point ; but Ido unhesitatingly submit that under these circumstances, if your public utterances have not hitherto been actuated by mere caprice, the moment has arrived when you may well undo what threatens to be • fatal work, and gracefully retract accusations which only enemies of English freedom, English character, and English institutions could hail with pleasure or satisfac tion. Again apologising for thrusting myself upon your notice and trespassing upon your time, I have the honour to remain your obedient humble servant, " JOESEPH GCEDALLA. " Right Hon. Robert Lowe, M.P." " Lowndes-square, Jan. 2, 1867. " Sir,— For many months the Reform League has, by resolutions,handbills, and speeches, accused me of charging the entire working clam of this country with venality, drunkenness, and other misconduct. The passage in my speech of March 13, 1a68,0n which this accusation professes to be grounded, only states that such things do unhappily exist in the constituencies, and that where they do exist they are to be found among the poorer ratherthan the richer voters. A comparison of these two statements will show— first, that I was speaking of the constituencies, not of the working class at large—and next, that I only pointed out where such venality and other misconduct as does exist is most likely to be found. The Reform League having thus fastened upon me assertions which I have not made, has loaded me with the moat virulent abuse, and has striven to make me an object of the hatred, perhaps a mark for the vengeance, of my fellow-countrymen. With such a body and its leaders, of whom you appear to be one, I have no courtesies to interchange. When I think proper to give an opinion on the recent popular demon strations it is not to the Reform League chat I shall offer it. You call on me to retract not what I have said, but your misrepresentation of what I have said. You can hardly be serious in making such a request. I decline to accede to it, and leave the case to the judgment of the country. I shall send this correspondence to the news papers.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " Joseph Guedalla, Esq." " Roarer Lots. MR. BRIGHT'S CRITIC IN THE FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW. Mr. Henry D. Seymour, M.P. for Poole, has addressed the folio ' letter to Mr. Bright, M.P. : " le, Salisbury, Dec. 30, 1866. " My dear Bright—As I am informed that your brother, Mr. Jacob Bright, has been writing to Mr. Morley, the editor of the PortnivAely Review, complaining of an inaccu racy in an article in which one of your speeches was mis quoted, and requiring to know the author's name, I write this letter to inform you that I wrote that portion of the article which relates to English affairs, and in which the error complained of was made. lam always prepared to accept the responsibility of what I write, and had you expressed a wish to know the name of the writer of the article in question, no doubt Mr. Morley would, after consultation with me, have sent it to you without delay. As Mr. Jacob Bright had no kind of right to ask for it I think Mr. Morley acted properly in refusing it. I don't know whether you yourself ever saw the article in ques tion, and I will, therefore, mention that it is the ' public affairs' article of the let of November. Anapologyhaa been inserted in the January number of the Renew, end I have directed a number of it to be sent to you at the Reform Club. I beg again to apologise for the mistake, and to assure you that you were not intentionally misquoted. At the same time, I must say that I believe your statement, that half the l a nd in England and Scotland is in the hands of 150 and 12 propr ietors respectively, is incorrect ; but as you give no authority for so important a declaration, it is impossible to point out where the error lies. That there should have been any mistake I deeply regret, although it did not affect my argument. I am one of the many members of the liberal party who, admiring your oratori cal genius, and fully admitting the public benefits which you have in many respects conferred upon the country during your long career, must respectfully beg to differ from you as to the sudden and sweeping changes which, to judge from your speeches, you would wish to introduce into our laws and constitution. Earnestly hoping that you may so temper your acts and speeches as to render it possible for moderate men to agree with and support you, " I remain yours truly, "J. Bright, Esq." " Hexer D. Sermorn. It will be seen that Mr. Seymour leaves unexplained the gravest part of the charge of misrepresentation. In • part of the article complained of he wrote :—" Mr. Bright says ' that the poor are the only people fit to legislate for the rich.'" Again, " Mr. Bright, if left unchecked, would speedily bring on the war between those who hare and those who have not. His tone too much indicate' that in his heart he has adopted the French maxim, 'La pre prieta c'est le vol.' What other interpretation can be placed on his saying that ' the poor only are fit to legis late for the rich r Such a course as this would bring us to the bloody days of June, which is • curious climax for • member of the Society of Friends to wish for." It was to the foregoing portion of the article that his attention was specially directed, Mr. Jacob Bright giving the following as the passage of his brother's speech on which the attack was founded:—" But I deny altogether that the rich alone are qualified to legislate for the poor, any more than that the poor alone would be qualified to legislate for the rich. My honest belief is that if we could be all called upon to legislate for all, that all would be more justly treated, and would be more happy than we are now. We should then have an average—we should have the influence of wealth and of high culture, and of those qualities that come from leisure, and the influence of those robuater qualities that some from industry and from labour." Of this part of the subject Mr. Seymour has taken no notice. LADIES' Mrsorcil. Couxos.—This new school of midwifery and the accessory branches of medicine recom mences its lectures on Monday next. During the ap proaching session 25 ladies have already entered as new students. In social position, education, and intelligence these ladies are quite on a level with the students at the men's medical colleges, while their assiduous attention and propriety of conduct have been unexceptionable. Several of the students who commenced at this college three years ago have recently begun practice as lady mid wives, and are doing exceedingly well. ITALY. FLORENCE, JAN. 2, E'vekruie. General Menabrea has been appointed first aide-de-camp to the King. His Majesty has decorated Generals Cialdini and Rossi and Senator Paleocipa with the order of the Annunciada. The Gaszetta tr Italia states that the Minister of War has withdrawn his resignation. The same journal announces that the negotiations with Rome are proceeding favourably. The cholera quarantines having been abolished in Sicily, the line of railway between Messina and Catania will be opened to-day. The Ministry of Marine at Berlin is to be shortly separated from that of war. The latter department will probably be confided to General Count de Moltke, head of the sta.

This season the majority of geese figure as Marshal Benedek or General Clam-Gallas. The great =cocoa on the previous occasion was " a French romance-writer delivering a scientific lecture," which Alex andre Dumas was then doing in the Austrian capital. A CHRISTMAS POLICE Cunt IN PARIS. —The hopolice discovered two nights ago a carriage and pair of rses in the ditch of the fortifications, neer the Porte- Saint-Cloud, with the coachman fast asleep on the box from having taken too much drink. Upon waking him with di fficul ty all the information they could obtain was that he was in the sarvice of the BaronessCreuze de Lesser, and that as he was starting to fetch his mistress home he fell asleep, and knew nothing further. It seems the horses must have wandered on without any guide until in the darkness they fell into the ditch. The coachman was re moved to the station to recover from his drunkenness, and the police anteceded in getting the horses and carriage out, strange to say, without any injury to either.

To carry out this object the more effectually, an additional, but temporary screen will be forthwith erected about 25 feet further north than the main screen, thus rendering the Palace more impermeable to the elements in that quarter. It need hardly be stated that the havoc caused by the fire has materially destroyed the general symmetry of the fabric. It is supposed to be the intention of Count lAriseh to kW the mines belonging to the state in Austria. A commencement has been made with the well-known quicksilver mines of Idris, which have been fanned by the banking house of Weickersheim and Brandeis for a term of ten years. The lessees engage to take the whole produce of the mines at • certain price, and, as the demand for quicksilver is very fluctuating, the government gains the advantage of a fixed revenue upon which it can depend. THE RURRIAN-AMERICAN TELEGRAPH. —A tele gram from San Francisco dated Dec. 7, says :—" The Russian-American Telegraph Company's steamer George Wright, which arrived at Victoria, V. 1., Nov. 30, brings • collection of 30 boxes of =lrani, vegetable, and other curi osities from Ruesian-America for the Smithsonian Insti tute. The companies were all well when the George Wright left, and work was progrisesing satisfactorily. Houses and stations were built in Pastern Siberia, and many thousand poles were put up. Winter was setting in when the steamer left. The Russian. behaved kindly, and the Eequimaux and Lichutehi tribes were friendly. Every thing was ready for prosecuting the work vigorously next spring." A modern writer of eminence ventures the assertion that, with proper care and protection, even in arable territory end sandy deserts, as in Arabia and Africa, might in places be covered with forests, the theory not being inconsistent either with experience or the deductions of science. In fact many acres in the &iota and Miami valleys, in Ohio, are to-day covered with • thrifty timber growth sufficient for fuel and fencing, which thirty years ago were entirely destitute. It is stated that timber is becoming sufficiently abundant for domestic use in that state, where the land at the period of first settle ments was without trees, and, in the ordinary parlance of the times, was known as the " barrens ;" the process of timber cultivation being now. in fact, silently going on in the states of the west as well as those in middle latitudes. American paper. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM 002 OWN 001 PARIS. WEDNESDAY EVENINO. I am unable to see anything threatening the im mediate peace of Europe in the few words de livered by the Emperor to the Corps Diplomatique on New Year's-day. The speech, offering good wishes for the " stability of thrones and the pros perity of peoples," confirms the general impres sion that those war projects with which, it can scarcely be doubted, the " reorganisation of the army" is connected are only to be executed after the close of the Universal Exhibition of this year. The Emperor "hopes" that this exhibition will "calm passions and draw interests closer together." This is no doubt a mode of reasserting that there are yet fermenting the perilous passions and interests which were the pretext for the abortive effort to obtain al European congress some years ago. The whole question is kept open, aad the speech has no immediate signification. The address to the Archbishop of Paris, however, seems to me to savour strongly of M. ffausamann's inspired answer to the Pope's insults. The "consolation" which the Emperor finds in the prelate whom ho singles out as the representative of " faith, charity, and con ciliation," in manifest opposition to the ultramon tanist doctrine preached by the Bishop of Orleans and Co., bodes no good to the Pope; should he con tinue, as there is every reason to suppose, to turn a deaf oar to the overtures of Italy for a friendly settlement. The Pope's New Year's speech, a full version of which is now to hand, dwells particularly upon the "hypocrisy" of his pretended friends. It is well known and well pondered at the Tuileries to whom the epithet is meant to apply. The Presse congratulates the Austrian govern ment on the measures which it is said are to be officially promulgated in the Vienna Gazette to morrow. It says that Francis Joseph has now honestly entered upon that constitutional path in which alone governments can now find real force ; namely, the direct intervention of the nation in the management of its own affairs. The Pays was, it seems, hoaxed by the telegram announcing that the Belgian police stopped M. Paul de Cassagnac's duel. It now states that the duel took place, and that M. Rochefort was sta uck by his adversary's ball on the right side, but for tunately the wound is not serious. The Emperor's New Year's speech was rather well received at the Bourse. Rente rose 15c. for cash and 22fis. for account, closing at 69fr. 70c. in each case. Mobilier, still suffering under tho dis credit of its no dividend, rose only lir. 25c. Credit Fonder rose 2fr. 50c. Italian fell 30c. WORKING BEES. TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS. gilt —Allow me to contradict a statement which appeared in your last night's impression respecting the late fire at the Crystal Palace, the conjectured cause being that spontaneous combustion might have taken place owing to there being a large beehive filled with straw in that quarter of the buildcrig. Now, air, las proprietor of that hive which was used by me for an exhibition of the in dustrious working bees on the humane principle, I can say that the straw therein was little or none, as my hives are principally mahm gany and glass, in order to fully illustrate and show the bees in full working order, and their natural loyalty towards the queen bee, the mother of the whole hive. Permit me to say in justice to myself that every precaution had been taken ; the gas fittings were examined and approved by the authorities, and fire brigade on the staff of the establishment ; there fore it ts entirely erroneous to imagine that my articles in my portion eould have given rise to the supposition that spontaneous combustion was the cause. I have only lately removed from the Machinery to the Tropical Department in order to give my bees the benefit of the extra heat. Not being insured I am a great loser by this sad disaster, not only my hives but my books, in which are orders received from several persons for the ensuing seams, with whose names and address now I am entirely unacquainted. Trusting to your usual liberality in regard to fair play to insert this, I am, ke., JOE. MARRIOTT. Crystal Pslace, Jan. 2. WICATHKR REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Bishop of Chester has returned the follow ing answer to • memorial signed by 128 clergymen of Liverpool and the district: " Hawarden Castle, Chester, Dec. 28. "My dear sir,—l have been requested to send to you my answer to an address signed by 128c1ergymen of Liver pool and the neighbourhood. In connexion with one of the heads of cow plaint contained therein, viz., practices,' which the memorlslisfa consider 'unwarranted,' which are afterwards explained to mean ' gestures, ceremonies, and vestments,' they with good reason regret that ' the law is ambiguous.' That ambiguity has recently been aggra vated by the conflicting opinions given by very eminent lawyers. And no good result could be expected from any exertion of authority which cannot be sustained by law. I In the exercise of ' free thought,' with which the memorial. ista ' deprecate any undue interference,' they will, doubt. less, be prepared to allow that our public service, according to local circumstances, admits of various degrees of cabal ligament, when such embellishment is not employed to symbolise doctrines repudiated by our church, but is kept within its due limits, as offering additional legitimate at. traction, as ministering to the ascertained edification of the congregation, and, therefore, adopted with their concur. rence. The particular ceremony specified in the address, ' the elevation for worship of the consecrated elements', appears to me to be contrary to the concluding of the 28th article, to the declaration subjoined "' fo rs & rubric at the end of the communion office, and to the obligation under which ear clergy place themselves to give their faithful diligence always so to minister the doctrine and sacraments . . . . as this church and realm bath received the same.' The second head of complaint is ' the use of services not contained in the Book of Common Prayer.' As no came of this kind has been reported to me from either archdeaconry, it may, I hope be concluded that no presentation of such practices has been made by any of the churchwardens, to all of whom this question is put Tear by year, Does your officiating minister, properly hahited, perform the service of the shun& as prescribed in the Book of Common Prayer?' The use of such services is in my Judgment irreconcilable with the declaration solemnly made by our clergy, that they will ' use the forms in the said book prescribed and none other.' I have no sympathy with ceremonial innovations or revivals. But, while I offer my thanks to the memorialists for the respect which they ex press for my °Moe, I will beg their permission to remind them that if the law is invoked for the suppression of errors on the side of excess, it must be expected that strict conformity to the Rubric will be insisted upon whenever variations or omissions in any of the offices of the church have come to have the sanction of custom.—l remain, my dear sir, very faithfully young, " WILLIAM CiIIZSTER. " Tho Rev. Augustus Campbell, rector of LiverpooL" Nsw NATIONAL GALLIERY.—WO are requested to state that foreign ministers, members of the two Hoene of Parliament, royal academicians, and the competing architects, will, on presentation of their cards at the entrance door, by the Victoria Tower, in the New Palace at Westminster, be admitted on Monday and Tuesday, the 7th and Bth instant, between 10 and 4, to view the designs for the new National Gallery, in the Royal Gallery ; and that the public will be admitted on Wed. nesday, the 9th instant, and the three following days, and also on the four last days of each of the two succeed. ing weskit MR. SPURGEON'S ALMSHOUSES AND ORPHANAGL —The Rev. C. H. Spurgeon ham just concluded the par. chase of two and a half acres of land, adjacent to Clap. ham Common, upon which the buildings for the purposes of the new orphanage, under his auspices, will be erected. It is, however, not intended to commence the whole structure at once. In the centre of the site the schools, chapel, and other nacemary buildings, will be first pro. ceded with ; after which small houses will be reared, in which the children can live to the number of 10 or 20 to each. It is pei;ectly ecerect as stated some time since, that a benevolent lady has p laced a sum of 20,000 f. at his command for the pr-Pose of the orphanage ; but it is ac companied by a condition that only B,ooof. out of it shall be spent, the remaining 12,0001. to go to (*pits/ account for the permanent benefit of the institution. The first batch of orphans who will be admitted will number 50, and Mr. Spurgeon has intimated a hope that the metr ben of his congregation will make their clothes, and that tailors and cloth-dealers will be found to give them the cloth, S 8 in the case of the Bristol Orphanage. He also invitee working bricklayers to give a day or two's work by way of their contribution. The almshouses and day schools, which will stand next to the Metropolitan Taber nacle, at Walworth, are now sufficiently advanced toadmit of the laying of the foundation-stuns during the present month. EXETER-HALL.—The Creation will be performed this even' by the National Choral Society, conducted by Mr. G. W. Martin. The solo parts will be sung by Riau Louisa Pyne, Mr. Leigh Wilson, and Mr. Santley. SCHOLASTIC REGISTRATION ASSOCIATION. —The that annual general meeting of this association, open to all schoolmasters and teachers, will be held on Tuesday, Bth January, et 3 p.m., at the rooms of the Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi, W.C. The honorary secretary will read a report of the progress of the movement to this date, and will fully explain the constitution and operations of the association. Several gentlemen of influence will take part in the meeting ; and it is earnestly hoped that all promoters of educational reform will endeavour to attend, and co-operate with those whose object is to obtain far the public some protection against incompetent educators, and for the profession the position to which its character and importance entitle it..—Edueutional Times. THE NEW BISHOP POE NATAL.—The Vicar of Wantage, who was lately elected bishop by a number of the clergy of Natal, writes to the Guardian •—" Sir, — May I be permitted to state in your columns, for the sake of many friends, and for the information of your readers, that I received only on Christmas-eve the moat unlooked• for tidings that the dean and clergy of the diocese of Natal had elected me their bishop! After most anxious cons& deration, I have felt myself quite unable to decide between conflicting duties, and I have therefore left the matter in the hands of those on whose judgment and knowledge and love of God's church every one, were I at liberty to mem ton their names, would implicitly rely.—W. J. lICTLE/1.-. Wantage Vioartge, Deo. 31, 186 b." LAST AND NEXT NOVEMBER STAR SHOWERS.—A comparison of the whole number of meteors observed with the numerical results of previous showers shows that this shower was far less significant than some of its prede cessors. Whether other parts of the world witnessed • grander phase in the display than we in England did, we cannot say, for there is at present no authentic informs. tion on the point. M. Coulvier Gravier, who ought to be an authority, at a recent sitting of the French Academy of Sciences, suggested that the maximum display of the epoch might be expected in November, 1867 ; because, ha said, the really great showers ere 34 years apart instead of 33, and the last of these was that of DIM. Moreover, be called attention to the fact that every very grand shower is preceded b 7 one not so grand in the year before it. This was the uses in 1532.33; whether it will be so this tiros we must wait till next November to leant—The Gentle. man's Ma'arine. THE RECENT DISCOVERY OF COAL IN SHEAF , AHIRE.—The works in connection with the sinking of a pair of shafts in the reputed dead ground near Priors Lee, the successful issue of which has opened up a new coal field, are now complete, the miners having reached the " clod coal," the ultimate stratum of the bed. In accom plishing this they have passed through the several seams of coal usually found in this district, the aggregate thick ness being in this case not less than 29 feet. Of this the clod coal just reached is 6 feet thick, and the " readies* which immediately overlies it, sep ar ated merely by a thin stratum, is 4 feet, the two fornunge coal seam 10 feet is thickness. The original estimate of the yield from this mine is fully confirmed by the working, and it is computed to contain upwards of ten million tons of coal. The shafts have been named the Granville I'its, in compliment to Earl Granville, one of the principal partners in the Lilleshall Company, who are working the mine. The Granville Pits were experimentally sunk to the east of the line geologically known as the Great Shropshire vault, and the result having demonstrated the fallacy of the dic tum that no coal could exist in that direction at a point nearer than that at which the Staffordshire coabfield is worked, a fresh district has been opened to mining enter , prise, and the Lilleshall Company are about to follow cep their first encores by sinking another mine further east. THE LIVERPOOL CORPORATION AND JUVENILE Rseonmaromem—At their meeting yesterday, the Liver pool Town Council resolved to rent some land near Liven pool, end to erect on it buildings suitable for a juvenile reformatory, at a cost of 3,000 L, and also to pay Is. Per bead for each boy committed by the local meg-Wren to the reformatory. The Juvenile Reformatory Association are to manage the reformatory, and pay the corporation 4i per cent. on the above outlay, the corporate officials having at all times access to the establishment. Thedonationareceived yesterday by the Mansion house Committee amounted to 6.121., including the follow ing :--Collection from the city of Gloucester, 1501. ; 0 ? 1- lection from Torquay, 31/. ss.
