A SPECIAL EDITION of the "EXPRESS," @attaining the results of the days R 8414, ill pub lished every evening during the Sporting Season, at Sts o'clock. Dittmar! readers of sanitary reports and trea tises have doubtless long ago arrived at the ccmclu- Mon that, after all, the position of DAMOCLES, dining with a sword suspended over hie head, was less wiles, than that of the Sunni and Bnowns of this great metropolis. Boated at the domestic hearth, surrounded by the little SMITHS and BROWNS. OT pursuing their business avocations in the crowded thoroughfare, a whole armoury of these invisible swords surrounds them, not only impending over their head., but threatening them from below and on every side. The marvel is that the whole body of life assurance companies have not gone into the Gazette long ego, from which they have probably been preserved, some by amalgamation, others by the lack of foresight, which prevents the bulk of the people who are not in debt from insuring their lives, and from thinking that they must die some day, and that they may leave a large family and small siesta behind them. Who:can forget the consterna tion created by the publication of Acccu'e " Death " in the Pot"? We awoke suddenly to the fact that we rarely at down to dinner without great risk of imbibing mortal poison, or, at the very least, laying the foundation of terrible and insidious diseases. But we gst hardened to it at last, like the labourers in gunpowder mills, and once more ate our =ale with quiet minds. Thee some cha ritable men of science demonstrated to us that we were living over a sort of miasmatic volcano, and that our forefather., by hiding away huge cesspools under our houses, had been contriving ingenious bine of choice old typhus that might, and sometimes did, steal out and lay us low more potently and more durably than the contents of our other cellars could do. Against this evil, however, many of us were preserved by dwelling in new neighbourhoods ; those who were less fortunate attacked the enemy bodily, and, after some loss, succeeding in routing him. Far a while we were tolerably quiet, until the invention of ozone, and the intimation that it was somehow myste riously related to cholera. Now axone was a very different affair to the halfpence our cooks put into the saucepan with the greens, or the catacombs of filth our forefathers had constructed under our cel lars. These latter we could see and attack with solid weapons, but this new terror was an impal pable ghost. Who was to know whether there was the proper amount of ozone in the atmosphere when he arose in the morning, and whether the faint ham that mistified the distant chimney-pots was smoke, fog, or some state of the air indicating too teeth or too little of the newly discovered vital element? Had it not been for Dr. Ilassin.t there is no knowing what mi,tht have bee of us, but on the honitoopathic principle he abolished one terror by introducing somber. The " Adulteration of Food" excitement threw the days of "Death in the Pot" into the shade. Every newspeper was full of it, the Legislature took it up, a House of Commons Committee sat upon it, and gave birth to a tremendous Blue Book, and Weary ewe who had a microscope and a teapot turned any chemist and detector of adulterations. We had all come to the knowledge of the horrid fact that we were eating red lead with our fish, verdigris with our greengage tarts, abominations innumerable with our cocoa, alum and bones with our bread, end regaling our little progeny with poisonous sugar plums. Somehow, in spite of everything, the Bills of Mortality indicated no such increase of deaths, or abbrevi►tion of the usual term of existence, as might have been anticipated from this long list of sappers of healthy so it must be assumed that like the arsenic eaters, we bad accustomed our constitn_ tioos to the unwholesome air and diet, and that we rather thrived upon them. This year the noble common sewer of Loudon, Father Thames, has fairly (righted us all from our propriety, and terrified the Legislature into waking up from its dreamy do_ nothingness for the evil odours presumed to come "betwixt the wind and its nobility." So the Act was passed commanding Messrs. Tli WAIVES and Co. to do eometAiieg, to their intense consternation apparently, since the only result of their bringing forward a proposition seems to be, that a multitude of voices is forthwith raised to warn them that it is exactly the project they ought not to adopt. It would seem as if the purification of the Thames were likely to be reserved as a luxury for the next generation. But in connexion with this subject, the Sanitary Council of the City has Incited their chief officer, Dr. LLTHIBT, to publish a report which is worse than the cesspools, and the ozone, and the red lead anchovy mance, as a collection of terrors. And what b ware alarming, he show. us how difficult, how Pearly impossible it is to guard against them. What with omnibus. "nursing" each other, houses tum bling into the street without crying " Below," and paving boards turning up tresawas of black earth saturated with gas leakage at every corner, walking the streets of London has become a far more peril ous operation than in the days when Gar wrote his Trivia." The effects of thee. preserves of cubit rutted hydrogen on health and life are not to be thought of without alarm; for gradually the whole of the upper surface of the soil is becoming as. tamest with that gas of which Dr. LCTHEBT in forms = that an admixture of from seven to twelve per cent. is fatal to oats and doge ; his experiments leaving us to infer by analogy only its effects upon bipeds. He tells as that frets 12 to 38 per seat..--a tolerably wide margin happily—of all the gas mann factored in London is lest, and that the leakage alone mates about 6 per cent., which is absorbed by, sad partly stored up in, the earth under our tbst, nAs much as 386,400,000 cubic fest of gas " escape into the public ways of this metropolis " every year." Good heavens ! the eight of the nine figures takes our breath away, for we know that thi earth, excellent as it is as an antiseptic, cannot go on neutralising this enormous quantity for ever. Then we come to sewers--and we must remind our readers that they encounter a gully hole every few yards, a fact which their noses have probably im pressed upon them efficiently. Now, these •gully holes communicate with reservoirs of poisonous and death-dealing ingredients. Not only is there a large amount of the escaped gas contained In them, but sulphuretted hydrogen is generated in such quanti ties in some localities that nature has established a rival gas manufactory under ground, and you may ignite the bubbles as they arise. If the sewer is closed up for a long time marsh gel is generated to each an extent that the sewer is like a charged bomb shell, and may blow itself and us up on the smallest provocation. Worst of all, our noses are by no means safe guides to the danger; for while some of the I nastiest smells are quite harmless, there ars pestilen tial vapours of the most deadly kind which give no notice of their presence, and which stab you, as it were, in the dark. We said that Dr. Lassos[ provides us with no remedy against the perils he indicates. This statement we are bound to modify; but we oars hardly believe that he is in esmest when he tells us that a small box containing a few penny worth of wood charcoal, placed in the course of the draught through which the deleterious gases paw, completely neutralises them. It is true that he does not quite see his way to make all the game pan through those draughts, and leaves that to the special men, the engineers, to devise. Seriously, then, although we get on tole rably well with all these evils, that is no sufficient reason for enduring them patiently; for there may be, and probably is, a point at which they must become as fatal as the plague in the olden time, which often slept for years, but at last broke out with deadly and irresistible force. In an age like the present is it a matter of necessity that the so il of every street in London should be saturated with nauseous gams which render it dangerous to disturb the paving in hot weather? and with all our engi neering ingenuity, can no one devise a method of making the sewer exhalations pass through those little boxes of charcoal which would render them harmless P Great rewards have been given to men , who have devised modes of destroying their fellow mortals wholesale; have we no recompense to pro pose that may stimulate some one to invent means of saving us from what is certainly a great annoy ance and which is, or at least is very likely to be come, a serious peril THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1858. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PINY OM .1 PARIS, TVIIIDLT Seems. The corn question is one which in general excites but a small modicum of interest in Paris, the only persons who give it a thought being those who ep eeists in the article as they do in angst or cotton, practically knowing nothing about any of them. At the present moment, however, this subject is likely to force itself to a certain extent on the public atten tion. The decree authorising, as a temporary measure, the free admiasion of foreign corn, ceases to be law at the close of this month. What will be done P is the question which the few who trouble themselves about the matter now ask. Will the decree be temporarily renewed? Will the law of 1832 be again put in force ? Or will some new regulations be introduced, founded upon past experience P It is not probable that so prudent a man as the Emperor will long allow uncertainty to hang about a subject of vital importance to the interests of the state. So national indeed is it, that one can hardly imagine any decided step being resolved upon until the feeling of the Corps Legielatif has been ascertained. There are some subjects upon which the government and the representative assembly of the nation may have opposite interests; upon this question the pub lic good, and no other object, must be the aim of the government. Such liberty of discussion as exists, therefore, will probably be permitted here. It were, indeed, almost to be wished that a little gentle pressure oonld be exercised upon some of those who will have to decide the question. The Emperor wishes for free trade. A section of the country, which has fattened on monopoly, opposes his en lightened views; and unfortunately, from its wealth and local influence, with but too fatal moons. The Constitutions.' has an article on the subject this morning. Observing that as yet the govern ment has made no sign as to its intentions, this journal views in its silence an opinion that nothing need be said, inasmuch as " the state of the question speaks for itself." The free admission of foreign corn was permitted under exceptional circumstances. A series of bad harvests had threatened the country with dearth. Two good harvests have placed it in • normal state. We have always done well enough under the law of 1832. Why not return to it? At the same time it is not denied that some modi fication may be beneficially applied to this law; and, pursuing its usual safe policy, the cautious Con stitutiontsa recommends that whatever modification of the law may be contemplated no change of prin ciple will take place, and the sliding scale, with all its glorious uncertainties, persevered in. The system may be bad, but at any rats we know how bad it ia. When ono. we plunge into novelty we know not into what depths we may sink. Doss it never occur to the Constitutiemsel to ask what is the result of the experience gained as to the question during the period of the suspension of the law of 1832? The chief subject of conversation to-day is the journey of Prince Napoleon to Warsaw. Some say it has referenoe to the Praseian regency, though that seems a far-fetched object to attribute to it. Some, relying upon the authority (doubtful, to say the least) of the ImodEposclance Beige, think that it has reference to the intention of the French go vernment to offer the Russian Navigation Company coal and provision room in some Algerian port. It seems hardly consistent with the dignity which no one can deny that Napoleon 111. throws around the acts of his government, to go about fishing, so to speak, for custom to the colony of Frames. The generally accepted opinion is that the visit is nothing more than a princely way of sending an invitation to the Emperor of Russia. It is said that orders have been received from Biarritz to hurry on the works at the Elysees ; and this gives currency to the belief that the visit of the Emperor Alexander to Paris may take place before the expiration of the autumn. Letters from Vienna say that the government is pushing forward vigorously the works in the war ports of Pols and Cattaro.

THE REGATTA AT BIARRITZ. A letter from Biarritz, dated Sunday, says :—" At three o'olock to-day the Port-Vienzwas crowded with people, who came to witness abernethy the swimming matches, end the interesting duck rams in the Teter. The swimming match began at four o'clock, and, as usual, the brothers Peillot (bathing attendants, well known to the habitue , . of Biarritz, and famous swimmers), were the victors of the day. There were 16 who competed, and had to swim at a stretch from the famous rope, beyond which ordinary bathers do not go, to the farthest rock in the sea. Th., all want to work manfully, and for some time got through it swimmingly ; bat many of the most ardent at first, as is frequently the case, gave in soon. The brothers Peillot went on with the calm steadiness peculiar to them, and is they were superior to all the others in streegth, on return ing they won the three prizes awarded to the three who reached the shore first. These were 100 ft., ISOfr., and 60fr. At half-past four, the Emperor and Empress, accompanied by throe or four gentlemen and ladies, arrived. Sean had been prepared for them, though, i■ conformity with the particular recenumudatfon of the Emperor, no ornaments or flags were to be seen. They sat on common chars, like everybody elm. The Empress looked well, and as graceful sad satiable es ever. She carried a small mac, on which she now and than leant. The nuts! military bud was in attendance, and played several airs, the first of which was, of course, the old familiar ' Parton& pour in Syne,' and the second the Spanish Royal March. The ducks were thrown from hosts into the eta, and the swimmers hastened after them. Some succeeded in catching the fright seed salami, and were snthinised rally cheered ; others missed them in so grotesque a manner es to cause guard laughter and hissing. The heath, the rooks, and cliffs were crowded with spectators. The weather was beentiful, mud the sport of the day, though not so moth tug as the bull fight, but mush more harmless, appeared to greatly interest the Imperial party. An 6 o'clo ck their Majesties left the Port-Mertz sad to • walk through Biarritz, followed, as you may imagine, by great seewds. While they were passim over a small wooden briar es tire OIL a Spanish girt advanced towards the Empress and presented a letter—probably • petition. " Hand it to the palace porter," the Empress observed,and the girt set el imme dlately. The Mayors of Blunts, Bayonne, St.lata de Les, eel • few other tonotioneries were among those who ettesded their Majesties. Numbers of seam police agents, who, though in plain clothes, an sully tutognieed, were Imaging shout. They wore no gigue of sathaviey, though they plashed bask the 'turd like ordinary petkaseen or gendarme'.

Althou h I have of late duly communicated the various phases of this all-absorbing question es they rred, so that the subject might seem exhausted, there is still another and perhaps the most delicate part of the whole case to mention—the main pivot, indeed, on which the solution turns. I allude to the ' financial view of the question ' • and that is the Gor dian knot that hu not hitherto found its Alexander. It seems, indred, but a most reasonable demand that if the Prince of Prussia be appointed Regent of the kingdom,he should be furnished with a liberal allowance to enable him to keep up the dignity of his position and cover the expenses to which he will be naturally put as the vicegerent of royalty, u well as to make an impressive outward show and appear ance, which is not expected of him when simply heir-presumptive to the throne, and nearest agnate of the crown. Hitherto the Prussian nation has not been called on to pay taus to furnish a civil list for the crown, or appanage' for the other members of the royal family ; and you will in vain search the Prus sian budget for any such items. These expenses are exclusively defrayed from the revenues aris ing from the entailed domains of the crown (Kron-Fideicommisse) which are numerous, ex tensive, and valuable. The administration of these domains, situated in almost every part of the kingdom, but more especially in Silesia, East Prussia, Lusatia, and Brandenburg, is ow tied on by a minister with a title not known in England, called the " Minister of the King's Household . As they are the private property of the crown of Prussia, the revenue arising from them is not officially published, but there is good reason for believing that the annual net proceeds derived from them, after paying all the attendant expenses, amount to about 10 millions of dollars, or nearly a million and • half sterling. The King for the time being has the actual disposal of this right royal revenue, and it is he who fixes the amount of appanage for the Queen and the dif bract Princes and Princesses of the . royal family. From this source the Prince of Prague derives an ' annuity of a hundred thousand dollars ; besides, he receives pay and other emoluments from the state in his capacity of Field-Marshal and Generalissimo of the Prussian Army, in addition to which he has some private property of his own and the dowry of , his consort, a princess of the grand-ducal House of Saxe-Weimar, so that his whole annual revenue is genetally estimated here at a couple of hundred thousand dollars, equal to about 30,0001. a year. This sum, though sufficiently handsome for the first subject of the kingdom, and in a cheap country like Prussia worth a good deal more than a similar amount would go for in England, would obviously, however, not be adequate to defray the ex penses of a regal establishment and keep up the pres tige of the Prussian court. The Prince therefore re quires the possession of the crown domains to be transferred to him on accepting the office of Regent. The Queen, on the other hand, as consort of the incapacitated sovereign and naturally careful of his interests, cannot be induoed to agree to such an arrangement, which would transfer the disposal of these revenues to another, and leave her husbrid and herself virtually at the mercy of her brother-in law, and dependent upon his generosity for the rmount of their annual income. This is the key to one of the principal existing difficulties, and hence the duration of the negotiations on the question of the regency. All the others are only formal diffi culties which might be easily got over if the peen nary stumbling-block were once removed. In the Prussian constitution not a word is said about a civil list, and therefore it is beyond the powers accorded to the legislative bodies to make an exceptional case and vote one for the Regent of the kingdom. Besides, it would be extremely hard to tax the subjects for a second civil list, when the means of liberally providing for one such are already I hi existence. INCREASE OF THE FRENCH FORCES IN ROME. ("sox ova Om ROME, Esrv. 21. The arguments of General de Goyon have ga;ned the day, and the French troops, instead of being withdrawn from Rome to ants Vecchia, as had been confidently asserted, are to be immediately reinforced in the eternal city by the addition of seven companies of the 20th battalion of the re doubtable chasseurs-d-pied, the other three com panies of the battalion remaining s% a depdt France. General de Goyon himself is expected immediately, and the charmers are to be in Rome by the 15th of next month. At the time of the general's departure hence for Cherbourg, a couple of months ago, it wu stated to be his wish to obtain permission from the Emperor to reinforce the French army of occupation in the Roman States. The numerical equality of the Papal and French garrisons in Rome, and the evident exlsting ' between them, would render the position of the latter somewhat cntioal in case of say row on a large scale taking place between the two armies, because the people would naturally side 'with their owe soldiers, and assist in molesting end outnumbering I the French. This consideration appears to have been appreciated by the Emperor, and General de Goyon has consequently obtained his sanction to the desired re-inforcements, so that the withdrawal of the French garrison from Rome, and of the Austrians from Bologna, at least for the present period, returns once more into the regions of improbability. In this manceuvre General de doyen may be considered as having completely triumphed over Cardinal Aetonelli, for the government of his Holiness is said to disapprove strongly of this increase of the French garrison, both on account of the augmented expenditure which the Papal treasury will have to incur, and the erroneous impression which the measure is calculated to con vey of the existence of a turbulent and insecure state of things in the Eternal City. Rome is renowned for the abundance and salti brity of its waters, although only three of the four teen aqueducts required for the luxurious theme and fountains of the ancients are at present in use for the requirements of their descendants. It is now under contemplation to add to the already abundant store by the restoration of the Mercian aqueduct, which, according to Frontinas, derived its source from a spot on the Equicolan hills, near the Via Valeria, 33 miles from Rome. This water was considered by the ancient Romans the best that came into the ca pital, and was especially reserved for drinking. Rains of the aqueduct still exist over the Porta Mag giore, and near the church of Santa Bibbiana, as well as in several parts of the Camino*. The architect Moraldi having petitioned for permission to re store these salutary waters, which now fall into the Anio, to public use in Rome, the Pope, in an audience on the 25th ult., authorised him to commence the necessary surveys, and to iireparehis plans for the i execution of the work, for the nspect.on of the Minister of Public Welke, granting him a yes: foe this preliminary operation. If his project 1 % ap proved of, he is to obtain a formal grant from the government, and will probably form a company for defraying the expense. Exchange on London, 472. Roman Consols, 93!. AMERICA.

The Lord Mayor, attended bythe aldermen and recorder, then retired to the council chamber, preceded by the marshal and sword bearer, leaving the aberiffa attended by the common sergeant to proceed to the election. The names of the aldermen, who had not passed the chair were then reed over, beginning with Aldermen why, and the livery, being desired to choose two out of those alder men to be returned as their choice to the court of aldermen, show of hands were taken for aoh, separately, and declared to have fallen upon Alderman Wire and Alderman Cubitt, lr, the next in aucceadon. o er lficers then retired to the Coat of Aldermen to ac quaint that court with the result of the elates.
