Washington despatches state that General Sher man and Minister Campbell will stop at Havannah en route for Vera Cruz. General Sheridan will probably meet them at Havannah. It is rumoured at New Orleans that General Sherman goes to Mexico as the forerunner of au army of occupation. There is unusual activity in forwarding supplies and equipments to the Federal troops on the Rio Grande. General Ortega has determined to remain at Brazos. The Governor of Durango and General Sedgwick were to have a consultation with him on the 9th November. Intelligence from Toronto announces that the Fenian Daniel Whelan has been sentenced to be hung at Toronto on the 13th December.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OOS OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. WEDNESDAY EVENING. I learn from a reliable source (French, not American) that despatches from Mr. Seward of grave and very decided character were recently read to the Emperor in person at Com piegne by the United States Minister Plenipotentiary. The main object of them was to make it unmistakably clear to the French government that the United States has made arrangements which cannot be altered in expectation of the literal fulfilment by France of the engagements entered into with respect to the evacuation of Mexico. I gave you to under stand several days ago that this would be the tone adopted at Washington. I am told that the Emperor listened attentively to the reading of the despatches, but did not proffer a single observation upon them. It must be in reference to this subject that the money article of this evening's Liberti speaks in the following terms . The great preoccupation of the moment is the American affair, and the arrival of the next packets is looked for with intense anxiety. Till they come in the public mind will he influenoed by any secondary in dications tending to throw • light upon the real state of things. Fur instance, it has been remarked within these few days that American funds are lower at London, Frank fort, and New York. The conclusion drawn is that the I relations between France and the United States must be very delicate, and the rather because it is rumoured that IJuarez' loan is quoted lower in London. Orders have been transmitted to Havre to send out a steamer to watch for the arrival of the packet daily expected to arrive with the Emperor Maximi lian on board. It is probably hoped to communi cate with him before he gets to Southampton. The weekly political bulletin of the Moniteur du Soir does not say a single word on the subject of Mexico. This omission speaks volumes. The news published last night by the Arenie National, that M. Walewski was to be superseded in the chair of the Corps Legislatif by M. Baroche, is positively contradicted by the Liberte. I re member mentioning, nearly a month ago, that this rumour was unfounded. The supposed conse quential changes, which transferred Count Walewski to the ministry of the Emperor's house hold and Marshal Vaillant to tho Chancery of the Legion of Honour, will of course not take place — at least for the present. The trial of Lamirande is fixed for December 3 at Poitiers. M. Lachaud is retained for the de fence, and will dou3tless make a great point of the illegality of the extradition. The Bank of France, in the character of partie civile, will support the prosecution. Yesterday G 5 of the men recently arrested during a night razzia of the police in the quarries called the Carribres d'Amerique were placed at the bar of the Correctional Police, and tried by categories or sections. The Imperial Advocate Manuel said that these night birds, encouraging each other in vicious courses, and corrupting many, formed a sort of legion of evil, ever ready to make war upon society. Many of them were convicts who had broken their ban ; some had charges of robbery hanging over them, and all were liable to be dealt with as rogues and vagabonds. The court showed its concurrence in the views of the public prosecutor by convicting no less than 43 out of the tio prisoners ; the sentences were severe, varying from three months' to two years imprisonment. Tho Bourse closed with little change except in Mexican obligations, which were in considerable demand at a rise of 10fr. The hope prevails that France will make some arrangement with the United States which may not leave them utterly worthless. GERMANY. (yam OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FRANKFORT, Nov. 2.1. A perfect political calm has followed tho hurri cane of last summer. People are for the time sick of politics, and et-en the citizens of this town, the greatest sufferers by the change, begin to take things as philosophers, and to submit quietly to what they cannot help. By far the greatest hard ship is the compulsory military service, to which the young men of Frankfurt were not accustomed. Every train brings home a large number of victims from London, Paris, and other cities, where they have been engaged in business, which they must now leave in order to present themselves at the mustering, which is to take place in the first days of December. Of course the great majority of them enrol as volunteers, and by providing their own outfit and living they have only to serve one year, unless war breaks out, when they become liable for eighteen years more. This is a kind of slavery to which only people in Prussia were hitherto accustomed. It is Con sidered a favour that such volunteers in the newly annexed provinces are for the next two years released from the examination in Latin and mathe matics, which is required from volunteers entering the army as privates in the old provinces. Ano ther great hardship to this town is the fall in the value of house property, which is almost unsale able, while it fetched a very high price before the war. It is calculated that about 300 persons of standing have left the town, with the ambassadors of and to the Diet, the officers of the Federal mili tary commission, and the employs at headquarters of the Tour and Taxis post administration. All their residences remain empty, and new houses which were building remain unfinished. A very remarkable letter has come to light, showing the deep distrust against Austria which existed in Bavaria even before the war. It is written by Minister Von der Pforten to the Bava rian resident at Dresden, and runs thus : Bavaria has decided to take part in the war, not for her own interests, and will not be deterred by the probable risk of losing the palatinate. She will be influenced only by her Federal duties and by her honour. But we are equally re solved to maintain our independence, and not to allow Austria to treat us like an Austrian province, or our army like an Austrian corps, as she intended to do. The Aus trian government, at the very moment when its own pro posal to disarm had been accepted at Berlin, has suffered the MUM to drop, and has thus by its large armaments brought about the warlike turn of affairs. We must, therefore, suppose that Austria considers herself, as she has repeatedly stated, strong enough to fight two enemies at once, and that she must be stronger now when she has secured the assistance of the Confederation. Should this not be the case, then we must look to this turn given to the policy of Austria in the month of April as highly in considerate and rash. Many wealthy young men of this town liable to military service having emigrated to Switzerland and taken citizenship there, the Prussian govern- ,-- ment has remonstrated with the Swiss Federal Council, and requested it not to admit any more. I Of course Switzerland will not listen to suc h an un j In b e G lereclu d thDuchy of Hesse the elections have gone in favour of the anti-Prussian party ; still, as . 1 half of the country belongs to the northern bund, it 1 is impossible for the other half to join the southern. I As Baden is equally unwilling to join, a southern 1 confederation will never come into existence, and probably things will remain in suspense as long as political affairs take a smooth course. The demo cratic party has just met at Stuttgart, and made an appeal for money and moral support in their en deavours to keep the south free from Prussian bonds ; but the cause is desperate, and the appeal will not be responded to by many persons. Dlt. PUSEY ON CONFESSION. Dr. Posey has addresed another long letter to the Tines on the above subject. This practice, be says, was learned bythose who for may years past have used it, from the Prayer-book, and was the result of the voluntary workings of people's consciences, and all be desires is that both clergy and laity should be free to do what they seve rally think right, not abridging the liberty of others. The power of absolution by the clergy they believe in its plain and literal sense. It has been transmitted by the Apostles to their successors, though it would be of no avail to anyone who should seek it without re pentance and purpose to amend. The state. ment in the Homilies is plain, that " absolu tion bath the promise of forgiveness of sins," and the canons framed by convocation in 1603 imply that confusion to a priest was an existing practice. Appealing to other authorities, Dr. Puny contends that in the four changes which the English Prayer-book has undergone since it was first framed the formularies which relate to authorative absolution by the priest have remained un touched. He also quotes Cranmer, Latimer, Ridley, Archbishop Usher, Bishop Berkeley, Chillingwolth, and many other noted divines, who he says taught with one voice the forgiveness of sins through absolution. The responsibility of retaining sins by refusing to pronounce the absolution is left with the clergy, for„he adds, " without this power we might be compelled to absolve the flagrantly impenitent or those who purpose to return to their sins." But they have no occasion to retain sins. " Since confes sion of sins is voluntary, no one who is not sorry for those wherein he had offended God would use confession at all. During the 28 years in which I have received confessions, I never had once to refuse absolution.' lever in my life did I refuse absolution; and I ant, T fti,re that for every English priest as well as for myself it would be utterly abhorrent to allow any one to think that the sat. ty of their soul depended upon their receiving absolution from any one of us in particular. The church has given us no ex clusive authority towards any soul, for she has set her children free to 'open their griefs' to whom they will. In sickness, when death and judgment stand before the conscience, she assumes that confession, if made at all, would be sincere, and bids us ' absolve him, if he shall humbly and heartily desire it.' So long as those words of Our Lord, Whose sills thou dust forgive, they are forgiven,' are repeated to us when we are ordained, so long will there be confession in the church of England. Their removal would break the church of England in pieces, but it would nut diminish confession; the same persons would confess, only they would confess elsewhere. Meanwhile your readers will judge which is the most faithful to the church of England, we, priests or laity, who take solemn words of hers in their literal meaning, or they who agitate to have them removed." In a postscript Dr. Piney lays he has not entered into the doctrine of the Holy Eucharist because he does not see what explanation is required. " Our own freedom to believe as we do," lie says, addressing the editor, " you, sir, I am sure will not question, when people are free to de7y Hell or the truth of God's Word."

V:{9.— . 14; K. bi 1,42 NV: St. George's, Southwark, is among the least favoured of metropolitan parishes. Its workhouse is one of the worst in London, its poor rate is cruelly high, its population largely leavened with pauperism, and whole districts in it have been known for years as hotbeds for disease. The Fever Hospital has long had a regular constituency in St- George's, and street after street could be cited from which a constant supply of cases has been kept up. Sharp personal discussions and frequent agitation are the normal attributes of its vestry, and the strong party advocating sanitary and other reforms is nicely balanced by the conservators of vested interests and the upholders of time-honoured abuse. Concessions have, however, been made to the reformers during the last year or two. Houae to-house inspection has been more real ; efforts to cope with the standing enemies of the district — defective drainage, inadequate water-supply, and poisonous air—have been partially successful ; and the proceedings we are about to describe prove the public opinion of the parish and the vestry itself to be, if discreditably boisterous, at least less openly corrupt than would have been thought pos sible a few yeas ago, when a collector of poor rates was appointed at a cost of 5001. to 6001. in bribes. Internal inflammation has, however, been running riot in this community for weeks past. Indignation meetings, public and private ; ,de nunciations and imputations fierce and damaging ; paper warfare, personal squabbling, squibs, in sults, and what children term " calling names," have been its outward signs. For another colltv turship of poor rates has been vacant, and the ves try has had to decide upon the relative merits of rival candidates. The emoluments of the post amount to some 2501. a year for about three months' work ; no stipulation as to the not carrying t g i e l c o lt l n y e u looked r r ir tl y u • o po n si to n th i e s r co c n all se i t i i i po i' n m ais ade on ; e a n o d f ti t h i the snuggest things in the vestry's gift. Hence a ves tryman thought of applying for it, not for friend or proUge, but for himself. Ho had been " rector's churchwarden" fur some years, and could count on the support of many personal friends, and his appointment would have been certain but for the strenuous opposition got up. The reform party opposed on principle the giving away any paid office by the vestry to one of its own members, or to ono who had only resigned to become a candi date. Years before, after two well paid situations had been tilled by vestrymen, a resolution was passed condemnatory of the principle. This on being quoted was pooh-poohed as "so much waste paper " by the vestry's legal ad viser, himself one of the people so appointed, ' and the matter resolved itself into a free fight between the supporters of the ex-vestry , man and his rivals. Mr. Stuart Mill was ap pealed to, and gave a decided opinion in writing, thus :—" It is certainly most objection ! able that seats in the vestry should be sought or used as means of obtaining lucrative ap pointments. It is no less objectionable that seats in parliament should be sought or used for a similar purpose ; but I see no means of preventing either abuse, except greater judgment on the part of the electors. I fear that, on the scale of a vestry elec tion, such judgment is not to be looked for, and that the otlice of vestryman will usually be tilled by those who have some personal interest to serve, because such will take most pains to obtain it. I see nu hopes of impforttncht :n the vestry aysteli short of its abolition.. Such were the Pre nrirmaries leading up to the faction fight of Tuesday evening ; for no other phrase so fully expresses proceedings which in cluded fist-eler.ching and shaking, 'personal alter cations and incriminatious, and a general imputing of corrupt motives in the discharge of a public trust. After some preliminary skirmishing, in which the folly of employing grown men to till pa rochial (Aces when buys could be obtained at 401. a year, the necessity of "money being asked for in the way money ought to be asked for, ' as if it were a holy thing, and only to be spoken of with bated breath • confessions of " extreme jealousy at any office being opened at this highly inflammatory time ;" protests against " creating another scene of discord, when the parish had enough on its mind to give it ill thoughts for at least a year to come ;" after turbulently offensive speeches, common-sense speeches, and amiable speeches full of grandilo quent b ombast, the meeting began to Bettie itself steadily to its work. That " every labourer ha s his 'ire , ' was the aphorism upon which ono piece of choleric oratory revolved. " Can the present collectors collect arrears 1" had for answer, " They can, and whether they can or not they must," from a vestryman whose Irish accent was nut ap parent.

AN EPISCOPAL PHOTOGRAPH. For the last few weeks a photograph of the Bishop of Oxford, differing in some striking features from those previously in circulation, has been on sale at the shops. In this production the Bishop was represented standing, attired in his episcopal habit, holding a pastoral staff in his left hand, his right being raised, and held with two fingers extended, in the peculiar manner which may be seen in pictures of the Pope in the act of bestowing his blessing. We believe that most sensible pereonswho saw this preposterous representation mime at once to the conclusion that the photograph was a a ork of construe. tive art, and had been produced by the use of a lay figure in connexion with one of the many genuine portraits of Dr. Wilberforce. Such liberties are frequently taken . with public characters, and the process by which they are effected is a familiar one. Either some anti-ritualist had thought this method admissible in ecelesimunical war fare, or some speculative photographic publisher bad de• termined to earn an honest penny at the expense of the bishop. So when "S. G. 0.," in a letter to the Times, adduced this photograph as showing the sanction which k the bishop gives by his example to ritualism, when he wrote ' "It is quite clear he stood for his likeness in the act of ' giving the blessing, awl the whole representation is ; episcopal ritualism from life," it was commonly sup ; posed that he had fallen into an error. In feet, the Diem& of the bishop made haste to prove that that writer, ih his rustic simplicity, had been victimieed. " Now, sir —wrote a correspondent of the ti. G. Us! victim of a most transparent' skit,' as the enclosed photo- graph will prove. Its oue of a series issued at the time of the bonaearation of M. Michael's, iShoreditch, and is ' made up' in a way that is familiar to everybody, except apparently • .8. G. 0.,' whose ' proofs' are usually just as reliable as this one. It is • Episcopal llititalism from life,' says' 8. G. o.'; the enclosed photograph proves to any ordinary eyes that it is a clever view of a lay figure." In like manner oar serious high church contemporary the Guardia* says the photograph is a caricature, and th►t the letter of " 8.0.0." will only provoke a smile. The face of mattcra, however, is entirely changed by the publication in yesterday's Tiuus of a letter from Mr. J. M. Davenport, secretary to the Bishop of Oxford, in which he strenuously objects to " a great and gifted man " being held up to ridicule, states that the bishop las been " shiguLuiy importuned to sit (stand) for his photograph," and then admits the genuineness of the representation. The " pastoral stall " is that which this bishop always uses, and the posture it that which " every bishop occasionally assumes when invoking a blearing." Mr. Davenport adds, quite superduously, that lie writes this letter without having had any communication with the bishop. The wiser friends of the bishop might fain hope that even after this letter the matter may be other wise explained ; that Mr. Davenport has written upon imperfect information, and may be corrected by the bishop himself ; and finally, that it is nut to go forth to the world that the bishop is not only in the habit of assuming a theatrical attitude iu his ministrations, but consents to reproduce it, simulating the supreme act .1 his sacred office, to make a picture. We find, however, in last night's filobr an account of his proceedings at linekingliatu on Tuesday, in which it is said that " at the conclusion of the service the bishop, holding the pastoral 'tag in Lie left hand, gave the benediction in the manner that has so grievously offended • 8.0.0.'

A YOUTHFUL Cnitti,t.tr..—A young girl named Martin, aged only fourteen, has just been tried at the court of assizes of the Nord for moat atrociously - ill-treating Gabrielle and Pauline Delrue, aged respectively two yearn and two months, the children of her wader, a tinnien at Lille. On the Wed of October last the younger child was seized with convulsions, accompanied a ith a ejection of greenish matter, and the flowing of hiie from the nose ; the little sufferer's month was also completely cauterised, and its tongue so much swelled that it could scarcely cry out. The child remained in iuseatuent ilar.g,r for two d4s, when it gradually grew better, and at hart recovered. The following week the symptoms returned, and the child's clothes were observed to be burned as if with some strong acid ; the mother, however, having remarked that the servant in whose charge the two children were fre quently left had secretly removed a bib from beneath Pauline's chin in order to wash it and remove traces of matter which had issued from the child's mouth, accused the girl of poisoning the infar.t, and Martin, after first denying the charge, finally admitted that she bad on each occasion adminis tered chlorhydric acid, a strong corrosive substance used by her master in his business, and to which she had mesa. Pauline now lingered for some days in gran suffering and then expired. The lip. of the elder child had on one occasion presented a similar appearance to those of the infant, and the accused now confessed that she had also attempted to give to it some of the liquid, but that Gabrielle had struggled violently sad refused to take it. The girl Martin likewise acknowledges that the hail op another occasion heated a poker, and then burnt several spots on Gabrielle's face, in order to cause the mother to believe that it was a commencement of small-pox. The only motive given by the accused for those odious acts of cruelty was that she wished to be discharged from her situation and sent back to her grandmother, by whom she had been brought up. On the trial the prisoner main tained a completely impassive and indifferent demeanour. She refuse to answer any of the questions put to her, and only broke silence once, when a medical witness having declared that the larger of two spoons presented in court half filled with the acid would be sufficient to produce death, she remarked that she bad used the smaller one and never " quite half filled it." The prisoner, however, ap in no way mentally deficient. A verdict of guilty LTi: f been returned, she was condemned to remain 20 years in a reformatory instlodion.—Gatignani. 1 2 1 ; 1 1 1 3 3 • 2 wheu ; MIA vett. tom 51. k.; ali at xticle. il, Ng Barley !apt% lower. imited r buts week's. 1L; xi Goa, II lit ,wale I, Zfa ; Lions, IL Ead JL Ead Ihipt at a i, •Mil, ill 4 *it 11 7,483 13 1.333 Y 810 g su In , 64 , id 33 4O 1,101 en 1.381 ;ea se , s 7, ;30 3EOO 006 T,g4 816 I , 7 N eil 800 640 =CO ___ _ 1 1 ." .01 Psi LAI Last
