AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH THE LANCASHIRE OPERATIVE-4.-0e every occasion, without, so far as we have observed, a solitary exception, the utterances of the operatives and working men of England sad Scotland—the classes which are by far the most affected by the war—have been of the same kind, and have uniformly expressed a deep sympathy with the Cause which, they secretly feel, blithe cause of the people and of themselves, after all. Orators explain to them that intervention will bring cotton to the mills, work to their hands, bread to themselves and their starving families. And the operatives all declare against interventioo. Adroit ewes sion agents and Domaine newspapers tell them of the enmity for them and their country entertained in the North, of the infernal glee with which the northern people contemplate their sufferings, and of the malign purpose of the North to insult, harass, and subject them to untold woes for years to come. And, feeling that this must all be false, they applaud once more for the Union aim the North. We suggest whether it would not be well for the American people to give some substantial expression of the sympathy entertained for these our wily friends in England, in this their day of terrible distress. i+or terrible, indeed, their sufferings now are. The accounts which reach us from Lancashire and other manufacturiug districts 'of the prevailing and spreading waut, famine, and suAferiug are heartrending. The number of unemployed persons now receiving charitable relief in Lancashire alone is close upon two hundred thousand. The amount of wages of which the poor of the district are deprived, by the stoppage of mills, is over half a million dollars a week. But figures can give no conception what ever of the extent and depth of the pervading want. Every week now, too, it becomes worse. The applicants far relief increase in awful ratio. The cold, dismal, dreaded winter is upon them, and it seems almost hopeless to try to keep thousands from positive starvation. The employers of these unfortunate men have done well in siding them. And they have been assisted by the wealth of England. The colonies have csutributed munificently. Montreal, Toronto, and other cities ie Canada ,have sent forward con tributions. Wherever the story of their woes has readied practical sympathy has been evoked. But all's hisufficient. she &stream still grows, and more aid is called for. Would it not be a magnificent thing for the people of these States, even in this, our great day of national trial, to send these, our poor friends in England, a contribution—to offer them a ship load of oorn and wheat out of the God giveu bounties of our laud? Our country is rent by an un precedented war, but it could spare a gift of a hundred ship loads of produce.

In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, with refer ence to the election of a deputy in an electoral col lege of Sicily, a previous question was re-opened as to the validity of elections made during the state of siege in that island. After a short discussion the Chamber decided that all such elections should be considered null and void. Signor Boncompagni requested explanations of the home and foreign policy of the cabinet, stating that he did not believe the ministers to pommies the necessary moral authority to govern the country. Signor Meedini complained of the arrest at Naples of himself and the Deputies Calvio and Fabrixi, vehemently attacking the cabinet upon the consti tutional question. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov., 2Q.

Underwood, F. C. Keyser, F. Pearson, Foord, and Salmon. INDIA. Our advioes from Calcutta come down to Oct. 18, from Madras to Oct. 23, and from Bombay to Oct 27. The Englishman's Weekly Mail of Oct. 18 gives the following in its summary of news : There has been no change worthy of remark since our overland mall of the 22nd of September in our piece-goods market, which is firm with very little business. Twist has, however, advanced, and a considerable lot has been pur chased for Madras, consequent on a considerable rise esta blished in that market. For a fortnight all Calcutta was out of town, and the markets seem scarcely to have defined themselves since business once more became the order of the day. Very little is doing, though there are certain signs of. approaching activity. Reliable 'deices from Mireapore, tie cotton depot for this side of India, estimate the stock ii that city at from 75,000 to 80,000 bales. This is cer tainly by no mean a large stock. At the same time, &d -eices from Rewah sod Central India generally represent that a very great increase in the breadth of land under cotton cultivation has taken place, and that the crop about to be gathered vastly exceeds even those ranted in the palmieet cotton days of India. The export of this article continues undiminished, and this state of things will continue for some tuna longer, as large sni vels daily come in to Calcutta, and even so much as 51.:a. has been paid for freight to Liverpool. There has been a considerable quantity of linseed and rice shipped during the past week, and jute also is very brisk, caused doubtless by the enhanced value of the article in the home market. to other commodities there is a considerable falling off. Money is daily increasing in value, spite of the relief given to the market by the bills drawn by the Secretary of State for India on the Calcutta Treasury, which have just put 45 lukhs of rupees into cir culation. There is not the slightest room for doubt as to the sound policy of Mr. Wag's' measure of placing all the treasury business of the country it the management of the presidency banks, or that from the increased facilities thereby given for moving about money from place to place wherever produces to be bought, the trade of the country will be immensely deve loped, tending more then anything else to humanise and civilise that vast portion of the inhabitants of India who have hitherto been hut rarely brought into contact with the British merchants. The usurious rates demanded by the shmffe and native bankers absolutely put a stop to any activity in the internal trade of the country, so that in a great measure the Calcutta merchant was at the mercy of the natives for the comniuditiea ha required to ship. However, the first ionovation and great blow to the native system has taken place. By the facilities offered by the branches of the Bank of Bengal, the merchants of Calcutta are enabled to place funds at the disposal of their agents in Dacca. Patna, Mirrapore, and Bowes, with the greatest ease. Cotton, jute, in fact every article of export will now, or shortly be purchased direct from the grower, and be brought down in quantities, unadulterated and of good quality, for the home markets. Moreover, from every place where the branches have been established most favourable reports of the working of the treasury under the new regime have been received, so that Sir Charles Wood will not find many supporters in his unfair and unwarrant able attack on every act of our late Finance Minister. As a natural consequence of the Ma-eased value of money the government funds have receded in price. No change has been made in the rate by the Bank of Bengal, but both in Bombay end Madras the market is very tight, and we should not be taken by surprise were some advance to be established at the next meeting of the board of directors. The condition of the Lancashire operatives and their in creasing distress is nowhere watched with more anxiety or sympathy than in India. From Calcutta some 9,0001. have been remitted, and at Bombay excellent results have fol. lowed upon a public meeting held to promote the subscrip tion in that presidency. We have received a circular from the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce calling a preliminary committee meeting for Monday next, preparatory to a public meeting for the inauguration of a fresh subscription. As we have all along foretold, the Eastern district, and frontier are givtog symptoms of renewed disturbance in the comingeold weather, when the cessation of the rains and the drying up of the inundation shall have facilitated the movements of the rehab. The 21st Regiment Puojaub Na tive Infantry, now at Barrackpore, and which in the course of the coming relief would base gone to Assam, has had its departure expedited, and leaves the presidency by river ateamen for that province about the middle of this month. The conciliation policy which has been heretofore adopted towards the sembeavage tribes in the disturbed Eastern die uicte has produced the fruit which it always bears iu Asia —confidence of the Asiatic in his own power and prowess, and a complete under-estimate of the real strength and re sources of the conciliator. . . His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will leave Simla on the 3Oth instant for hi, cold weather tour through the ' Central India provinces. Letters from the military stations to be visited bring accounts of • the preparations being anxiously made it, all departments to feet the searching examination and mutiny of hie Exoellehey. Brigadier-General Showers left Calcutta on the IGth, for a tour of inspection, visiting Julpigoree, Darjeeling, and the adjacent military stations, and returning to the presidency about the let of November. The extensive competition in the passenger carriage round the Cipe has produced an effect that has gradually been increasing, in the general diminution of the comforts, con venience, and plenty which used, as a general rule, to pre vail in the passenger amide of the great shipowners on the I London and Calcutta line. Year by year the complaints of passengers by those ships increase in frequency ; so touch so, indeed. as to lead us to a strong surmise that the big ship building has, as regards the passenger part of the speculation, been overdone. FRANCE. THE LATE DUEL (1101 OUR OWN CORRIAPONDWNT.) PARM, Continuing my resume of the Versailles trial yes terday, I find on my notes two or three facts worth mentioning before we come to the speeches. The Duke de Gramont Caderousse stated, in answer to the imputation that his skill of fence rendered the duel unequal, that he bad never bad more than ten lessons in his life, and was a notoriously bad fencer. This statement was corroborated by his fencing-master, M. Pons, who said that " Although Caderouase bad been several times to his gallery to speak to friends he bad never taken more than three lessons there, and that he was quite a novice in the use of the small sword." M. Pons also deposed that when be beard that Caderonseer ro s ac ring to fight with Dillon, he wrote to re him foe not coming to take a lesson, and 11414 he should like to have him " face to face " for a little while. M. Lachand made it a point in Caderousse'm favour that he had not acted upon this letter, not wishing to take any unfair advantage. It was on the other band admitted by Viscount de Nod that he did succeed in piecing 14,..paikeeis the precise position recommended by the fencing master Gdtechair, and that if Dillon had had the presence of mind to have acted up to his instruc tions Caderousse would have been "spitted like a lark." The judge complimented Caderousse upon his conduct when on the ground in remaining, although be had won the toss for positions, in the worst place, with a driving rain and sleet blowing in his face. • Dillon's other second, M. de Mussy, was, like Viscount de Nod, a stranger to him and was hunted up by de Nod on the good old Irish prin ciple, that a man of honour should always be ready to serve as a "friend" to any gentleman in need of one. An affecting point of the case, upon which both the President and the Imperial Pro cureur dwelt repeatedly with a view to influence the jury in favour of Dillon, was, that when the latter was informed by his seconds of the final de termination of his adversary's advisers to " drive him off every race-course in Europe " unless he would consent to fight with the sword, he ex claimed, "It is my bread that they would take from me. Tell them that I accept the sword; better death than dishonour." As already stated, all the pri soners affirmed that the threat to drive him off the turf was only in case be should continue to annoy Caderousse, who did not want to fight, but only required to be let alone. But the court persisted that this important qualification to the threat, not having been made before the Judge of Instruction. could not be considered by the jury as a proved fact. The precise cause of Mr. Dillon's death, as stated in the medical evidence, was " pressure upon the heart caused by an overflow of blood from the peri cardium." When the evidence was finished the judge, know ing that it was utterly out of the question to obtain a conviction on the capital charge, informed the prisoners' counsel that be should amend the in dictment, and pat to the jury, as a subsidiary question, whether Caderousse had not been guilty of wilfully inflicting a wound which occasioned death, without its being his intention to kill. The Imperial Procureur of Versailles, M. Guille min, began his address by combating by anticipa tion some of thoee arguments against a conviction which are commonly urged in all duelling cases. He said that a great lesson was to be derived from this trial. The life of a man who was the sole sup port of a needy family had been sacrificed to a false point of honour in a miserable quarrel, not in reality affecting the honour of any one of the parties. He admitted that the jurisprudence of the Court of Caseation on the subject of duelling had varied since the revolution of 1789. But the whole stream of modern decisions had con clusively established that to kill or wound a man in a duel was an offence punishable by French law. If there was anything doubtful in the code, that doubt hail been removed by the only recognised and only possible authority, the nettled interpretation of the highest court. It was sometimes, said that taking& man's life in a duel was no crime, because by the fact of his voluntarily appearing on the ground, he consented that his life should be taken. But this was a false doctrine, because the law never recognised any convention made in !hostility to its own principles. A contrary doctrine would bring society back to an age of violence and barbarism. If single combats were to be legal, why not combats of two against two, four against four, and ten against ten ? It was impossible to sanction the doctrine in a civilised society that any man, or any party of men, little or great, had • right to wage war on their own account. The laws of France prior to the great revolution bad always repressed duelling. In the time of Louis XIII., when the " point of honour " was something infi nitely more serious than in these days, the King himself, whose proudest title was that of " the first gentleman in France," issued edicts against duelling, for the infringement of which the head of a Montmorency fell on the scaffold. Louis XIV. acted with great severity against duelling. Would the jury say that in this more gentle and civilised age the reign of violence should receive a legal sauctiun ? Deserting for a moment the higher grounds of law, religion, and morality, and admit ting for the sake of argument that their decision would be guided by public opinion, he submitted to them that even loose public opinion would not approve of duelling in such a case as that uow before them. Public opinion only con nived at duelling in very grave and extreme cases, for which the law was unable to give any sufficient remedy ; as, for instance ' where the honour of a wife, a sister, or a daughter was seriously involved. Another rule was, that the chances of the combat should be as near as possible equal. Public opinion would never sanction a duel in a case where the skill of one combatant in the particular arm choseu was such that his adversary was almost certain to fall. Here, notwithstanding the Duke de Graniont's protestations that he was no master of fence, it was unfortunately evident that he was a man addicted to duelling. He admitted that, pre vious to the fatal affair with Dillon, he had fought two duuis with the sword. Iu one, that with the Duke de Terranova, he had been no less than five-and-twenty minutes en gsged—a circumstance which in his (the Procureur Imperial's) mind, showed that he must have very cousiderable ability iu the use of the weapon. At all events, Caderousse had in his favour this hn wens° advantage, that he had twice seen the point of a sword in earnest, and that constituted an ex perieuce infinitely more valuable than a great =my fencing lessons. The quarrel was of a most trivial nature. Dilloa's letters in the Sport might have been felt annoying, but he was bound to say they did not seem to him to exceed the bounds of fair and permissible discussion. Caderousse, by pub liehing hi. very offensive letter in the Journal du Hems, insinuating that Dillon had never bad any opportunity of knowing what a gentleman was, had been the first to quit the path of moderation. If Dillon bad been alive be should have severely reproached him for chal lenging Caderousse for such a futile cause. But although Dillon was not justified, he was more ex cusable than Cadrrowise. After a severe comment upon the irritating paragraph in the Figaro, the insertion of which he characterised as "almost a bad action," he said that the most serious question iu the cause was, who was the offended party 1 lu his mind it was Dillon, and he could not under stand how his seconds so lightly gave up the right which they had at first insisted upon, to have the choice of weapons. He admitted, as a general thesis, the argument of the prisoner Viscount Talen, that a duel with swords was less dangerous than with pistols, and he gave Caderousse full credit for his admirable conduct when once on the ground. Upon the whole he pressed upon the jury that in the interests of society this was a fit and proper occasion for the exercise of tempered seventy. An example would be most useful. By finding the prisoners guilty of the minor charge and with extenuating circum stances, they would only render them liable to • moderate and reasonable punishment. He called upon the jury to be firm in the exercise of their duty, and was sure that in this country of equality they would not allow the social position of the pri soners to be any excuse for impunity. M. Lachaud, counsel for the Duke de Gramont Caderousse and his two seconds, said that if the Imperial Procureur contended that there was any law in France against duelling beyond the liability to a fair review of all the facts of each particular case by • jury, he would have to remould French habits and customs. He commented upon the various • is favourable to Caderousse which had ap in the evidence, more especially his gene rous conduct on the ground, and his refusal to take the preparatory lesson pressed upon him by Pons, the fencing-master. He wished to speak with all due reserve of the memory of Mr. Dillon, but he could not help reminding the jury that, on the tes taniammaihsion Anissillear auplairsoisiblinksa determined to light. He went about race-courses crying out, " Where is the Duke de Gramont Cade rousse l be must fight me ;" and, in the words of Viscount de Nob, he was determined to eat Caderousse. N. Lachaud contended that he evi dently wanted to have the éclat of fighting with a duke. He read an opinion of M. Dupio, pro nounced as procureur-general in 1837, that all the oonfiicting decisions with respect to duelling had settled down to this—that it was for a jury to say whether the duel bad been fair and justifiable. He was willing to place the issue on that ground. He cited an opinion of M. Guisot in favour of duelling, to the effect that civilised France had substituted duelling for assassination. M. Malapert defended Viscount de Noe and M. de Mussy. K Flandin, the president, who conducted the trial with great ability, impartiality, firmness, and courtesy, said, in summing up, that the question was one of mixed law and fact, which was entirely for the jury. It would be difficult to make a special law against taking life in duel without giving a legal sanction to duelling. It was for the jury to appreciate the circumstances. In extreme cases they might acquit ; in others they might reasonably extenuate. But he hoped it would never be said that France, which so much boasted of the perfection of her legislation, was the only country in Europe, or the world, which allowed citizens to take the law into their own bands. The jury were judges in this case, but they had • solemn duty to perform. He seemed to adopt the doctrine of M. Dupin, cited by M. Lachaud. But conformably with that doctrine, there were several circumstances in this case which called for the serious consideration of the jury. The duel was fought for a miserable cause, and offered none of those excusable circumstances which might be found in a case where the honour of • lady was concerned. They would have to consider whether the principal and the seconds had done all that reasonably ought to have been done to effect a reconciliation. It seemed to him that Dillon was the offended party, and yet he had not been al lowed to choose his weapons, which accordingto the duelling code was his right. They would eourider whether Caderonese's secondshad not been too press ing, to fight with swords, and Dillon's seconds too yielding. He laid great stress ou the threat to drive Dillon off the turf, which he said was regrittable language, and moreover language w I isit he thought the prisoners Talon and Fitzpunes would not have used towards a man in the same social position as themselves. An attempt had been made to extenuate that language by a qualifying addition, but he could only tell the jury that the phrase net forth in the indictment without the addition, was that technically used by Viscount de Nod before the Judge of Instruction. A more serious question still was whether, by reason of Dillon's ignorance of the use of the sword, the con ditions of the combat were so nearly equal as to be beyond reproach. Duels would be more frequent than they were, if the public should unfortunately be taught to think that juries would never convict. He mentioned a modern case in which a jury had convicted, and a sentence of three years' imprison ment had been pronounced. The jury only deliberated half an hour before re turning the verdict of "Not guilty" on all the points, which has been already announced. A French jury decides by a bare majority, with out being allowed to state what the majority is. But it has transpired at Versailles, as such things will do, that there was a minority on the jury die pored to make an example by returning a verdict which would have involved the minimum penalty. AVSTILLLIAN ASSOCIATION.—Yesterday a public meeting of gentlemen connected with the Australasian colo nies was held at the rooms of the Australian Association, 17, Cheese -alley, Lombard-street, to take into consideration the best means of giving greater interest to that institution, so as to secure the general eeoaooppeennrion of the colonists in its support. Sir Charles Nicholson occupied the chair, Red in opening the proceedings said there were several points of more or less interest to be considered by the meeting. The first was oats extraneous to the objects of the asseciatiou, and was whether or not they, the colonist., should, in January next, as with One omission thee had done for some years past, celebrate by * banquet the foundation of the first Australian colony. There was a division of opinion on that point when it was discussed in the committee of the association. Every one, however, was agreed that unless the thing was done sec. cessfully, and carried on with some prospect of success, it would be useless to attempt the celebration. There were some gentlemen who thought that, owing to the difficulty of getting the highest officers connected with the Colonial office to attend the dinner, it were better to hold it every second year, rather than make it au annual celebration. However that might be, there were one or two other mat ters which affected the very existence of the institution of which they were all, he presumed, members, which claimed their consideration. It had been intended that the amocia. Um) should afford not only • rendezvous for gentlemen con nected with the Australiau colooka, but that it should also be the means of diffusing accurate and reliable information with respect to the colonies ; but owing to the paucity of its members it had failed in that particular, nut that those who were members were not able to afford that in fornmtioo, hut that the limited income of the association prevente them from making it as general and as diffused as it was desirable it should be. To remedy this defect it Was thought advisable to establish a library of works con nected with the Australian colonies, and of maps showing the extension of settlement and discovery. Captain Begot suggested that the association 'should be made the nucleus of a future dub, similar to the clubs connected with the Indian empire. After • abort discussion, in which Mr. M'Ewen, Mr. Cups, Mr. Laing, Mr. Benjainiu Mr. Boners, Mr. Hiscerundech, and other gentlemen took part, it was re waived, in the first place, to ho'd the annual dinner, leaving to the committee appointed to carry it out the determine. tion of when it should be held. and also to remodel the coustructioo of the association, so as to utilise its operations for the benefit of the colonies, and • committee was ap pointed to carry out that Tux INTERCOLONIAL HAlLwaY.—Tlie Hon.
