BlAtIA11," which have lightened our "Law " Intelligence" within the last few days, tall their own tale, and, for aught we can discover, point no moral. Omnibus conductors are a mysterious order of beings, and may easily include a " fancy man" or two, and even an occasional wetter of a teal diamond ring. Most men have some besetting weakness or " idea," for which they are ready to fight and fall ; now the idea for which Mr. E►H•AIM Batts fought and fell was the idea that he was a gay deceiver—an irresistible seducer ; and this is how, se soon as he came into a little money, he bethought himself of the ways and means of conquest, and with an eye to long-range practice bought a diamond ring, to Hash triumphantly upon the optic nerves of his female "fares," and even to strike with envious awe the fashionable world in carriages as he twirled his hand disdainfully in the direction of the Bank. The apogee of this brilliant Conductor's successes was the conquest of Mrs. Azalea, • lady with a bow of many strings, but whose virtue, or rather whose sins of propriety, wen still sufficiently exigent to require that the last comer should take refuge in the cupboard, or in some still more uncomfortable and undignified retreat. This sensitiveness on the part of Mrs. ARCHER completely won the heart of the Con doctor, and, with his heart, his diounond ring. It was not until Mr. Batts suddenly became aware olds, flagrant perils of his situation, and found himself face to face with the seventh commandment, with • legi timate Mr. ARCHER in the background, that he asked the erring lady to give him back his ring, which she had already deposited " for a consideration," and, on her hesitation, applied to no less • person than her husband, who with a fine sense of honour paid a Nam into court for the redemption—not of the ring, but of his wife who had pledged it. If Mr. Bau.a declined to be con tret with this paltry satisfaction we need not regret that he was sent Tingles', and moneyless, and laughed, oat of court. The cue of MICHLR v. Saunas is sa appropriate sequel to Braze r. Awns. Bat to generalise on suck a jack nips ss Mr. ARCM., the husband, and to argue as if the peer bird had its /whiten even at the top of the Haymarket, would be as silly as to deny to the LOUIS BRAHMA species • useful function in society. Is it not in troth a wise provision of nature by which young men of weak brain and low habits, with money in their puree, who many from the Blue Poste, and take home their wives' friends to supper from a night-house, are accus tomed to meet aith a kind friend in the shape of • L01:14 liaxuist, who reduces them by a gentle pro cess of suction to their primitive skin and bone ? In great cities, where there must needs be Mr. Mullen", the mission of a Loots BiLAHAII may be regarded aa providential. We trust our country friends who have come up to the Cattle Show this week have met with no short-horns of the Loots Bun to breed in their searches after life in the rank pastures of Piccadilly Cirrus. Bat is snot Lout Ba.tnevs and their noon_ plisse, or their victims, that good society used be msheesed. They are diseases, it is true, noisome and pestilential, but not mortal. The mortal diseases of esenty are those over which the strong but tender heart of the AnnioTair JI:TW.E could hardly rends from weeping at the Middlesex Session on Tuesday. There wane poor widow woman brought up for trial for steeling ribbon and silk braid. She had been in priest three weeks, and was now on her trials" a shoplifter. She pleaded guilty. The respectable firm who pre seemed her had known her as • customer for years, and had no doubt that atm was really a hardworking woman who had struggled hard for • liviog. It her defence it appeared that she was a widow ens for long weary years bed been stitching. tooraieg, enc, and night, to support herself, and her en whom she had apprenticed to a trade. She had bolas • good character all her life, and had bees driven to this di.hoo. et act through sheer distress. The kindhearted landlord of the how in which the poor prsoner had lodged for eleven years came for ward to bear witness in her behalf. And what welt THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8. 1869. the simple history he told ? Hear it, Christian ladies whose hearts are full of melting charity for the be nighted heathen, sr the romantic negro ; hear it, ye rosswater philanthropists and fashionable enthusiasts, who dance for Poland and pray for Patagonia! " She was a widow, hard working and well con " ducted, and had a son whom she had pot to a " bosiness, and worked until two, three, and four of " a morning at drommshing to earn her living and to support her son. He could say that she was " driven to do this in consequence of ladies for whom "she worked not paying her for the work she did " for them. They had her labour, and poor as " she was they would not pay her except upon 0 long credit, which she could not afford to " give ; but money she could not get; and " not hay.og the means to purchase materials to finish work she had in hand, she had unfortunately resorted to stealing them. There were several 0 ladies who owed her money-101., ii!., or 121. " hat she could not get a penny from them—ene in "particular, in Montague-place, Russell-square, " owed her about that sum for her work ; and though the prisoner was ill for five weeks at one time, 0 and sent to the lady time after time, and day after " day, she could get nothing, and her recent appliea. bons were unheeded. Another lady living in " Highbury-terrace, Islington, had owed her a "similar sum since last December; and though she begged and prayed for some part payment,:the lady had not paid her anything; and if she resorted "to compulsory steps, her connexion world be "destroyed. It was entirely through being thus " kept out of money which was due to her for the " sweat of her brow and the work by night and day " that she had been driven, as he believed, to do that " which had placed her in her present position, for a " more honest, striving woman he had never known. " Had it not been for this he believed she would have starved, and she was in arrear of rent at the 0 time, which very much preyed upon her mind, and "she wanted to finiah the work she had in hand to " pay for it, as these ladies would not pay her." Mr. BODKIN dismissed the ease with a few words of generous sorrow and pity, which deserve to be re membered to the honour of this upright judge and noble-hearted man. " Should what had been stated " find its way tote publicity, those who had "so cruelly used this poor creature, by de " prising her for so long of the reward of " her labour, would understand what must be " thought of their conduct." Bat are the per sons to whom this remonstrance is addressed capable of anything so vulgar as a moment's consi deration of " what will be thought of their con " duet ?" We apprehend they would deny the soft impeachment with disdainful surprise ; scout the maudlin sentimentalism of the day, and tremulously wonder what the world is coming to when shop lifters are scarcely punished for stealing and needle women hardly permitted to starve ! How many years is it since the voice of poor TON HOOD was beard in the land ? The echoes of his song have died away; but a " Distreseed Needlewoman's " Society " attests the poignancy of his appeal. Who knows? There ere more unlikely things in the world than that among the delicate debtors of SARAH DYER there may be distinguistesd subscribers to that terribly commonplace Institution--for the relief of the consciences of insolvent ladies of fashion ? firDE Court.

According to correspondent:* ham Berlin, pab- Belted in the Debats of to-day, the states of Central Italy will not appear in the congress upon the same footing as the great powers, but will be invited in the form established by the precedent of the con gress of Aix-la-Chapelle. The same lettora aver that the English and French government, are con sulting together upon an arrangement of the Italian question which will not probably satisfy Austria, but which will encounter no serious objection at Berlin or St. Petersburg. Count Recht;erg has been inatrncted by the Emperor of Austria to proceed to Paris to be present at the opening of the congress. Count Rechberg will afterwards be replaced by another plenipo- tentiary. Count Bool,fonoerly minister of foreign affairs, is also going to Paris, whence he will proceed to Rome and stay there during the winter. A telegram from Rome, dated Tuesday, says : " The official invitations are to be delivered simul taneously by the French and Austrian ambassadors. According to a Weir= received from Vienna, the courier, bearer of the Austrian invitation, will not arrive at Rome before the 10th instant." FRANCE. DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENTS.

PRUSSIA AND HESSE CASSEL. BERLIN, THURSDAY. The differences between Prussia and Electoral Hesse are in a fair way of being settled by the friendly interveation of the Federal Diet. TUSCANY. FLORENCE, WIDNUDAT. The provisional government has just despatched orders to all diplomatic agents and public, func tionaries appointed by the Grand Duke, and being at present abroad, to return to Tuscany within a fortnight, ander penalty of losing their pecuniary allotments or pensions. The Tuscan Hoomitors, with a view to expls;n cer tain statements which have gone the round of the journals, informs its readeta that "H. E. Gen. Manfred° Fend is commandant of the contingents of the League—viz., of all the troops of the states of Tuscany, Modena, Parma, and Romagna." It also announces that M. Eugene de Tremoul, secre tary to the Tuscan embassy at Paris under the former dynasty, is dismissed from his office; like wise that all the officers and men of the Tuscan navy are to wear the Sardinian uniform. With re gard to the coming congress, it says : The Congress will fled Italy expectast, but united and rewired to maintain her rights. We, Central Italian', are now better organised and better armed than we were at the end of the wee. We mast persevere is mar programtere which call* fora strong Italian kingdom, and fora national union which shall comprise ell the Itallans from the Alpe to the Rubicon (the river Luso, which flows by Rimini). This anion is the only national one, the only real Italian one, herniae it effsoes all the old divisions and unite, the whole family of the Italian population under their King. THE NEW CONCORDAT WITH BADEN. The Journal de Frankfort has the following, re lative to the new concordat between Baden and Rome: "The concordat, which is to be put into vigorous execution in Baden, has provoked a great agitation. Petitions against it have already been addressed to the Chambers. At Mannheim, on the 2nd, a nume rous meeting of catholic citizens pledged themselves to use all their efforts to prevent the establishment of this convention with Rome. A petition to the Chamber of Deputies has agreed to setting forth the dangerous consequences which the concordat would entail, and praying them to reject all projects of law submitted by the government in its favour. It was resolved at the same time to invite the catholic of the other parts of the Grand Duchy to adopt similar petitions. It is certain that this example will be followed, and that the protestanta will pronounce in their turn against an act which equally affects them." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, WEDNESDAY. The French Ambassador end the charge d'affaires of Austria communicated yest2rday to Prince Gortschakoff the iuvitationa to the congress of their resin ctive governments. These irritations were brought to Bt. Petersburg bye courier of the Austrian cabinet. Prince Cortscbskoff will be first, and Count Kirwleff second plenipotantboy of Russia. THE MEDITERRANEAN.

I observe—l had very nearly said, "my sten- tion has been called to"—a report in the London papers of a meeting to organise a corps of Irish volunteers, at which the Marquis of Donegal, while standing forth as a surety for the friendly intentions of the Emperor of the French, said that the feelings of the army, of the clergy, and of the people of Franoe in general were in favour of the invasion of I England. A Mr. M'Dermott said he did not believe the people of France were opposed to England and desired war. He believed that it was a foul pro testant calumny. The Marquis of Donegal, who sus in the chair, said he had only stated what he had read in the papers. Mr. M'Dermott replied that these statements proceeded from " our own cor respondents" in Paris, who were not to be relied upon. As an "own correspondent "of many years' standing, whose principal pride it is that hie date meats are generally accepted as reliable, I beg to say that I for one have always, on all fitting amens, strenuously maintained the direct contrary of the proposition which the Marquis of Donegal has " collected from the papers." When, two years ago, the offensive and too celebrated addresses of contain (*loads, hungry of promotion, were inserted in the Moeiteur, and when, subsequently, the Emperor told his friend, Sir France Head, that he alone re strained the desire of the French people to make war upon England, I asserted that there was no animosity on the part of the people of France towards England. This assertion I now repeat, on my credit as a professional observer of French polities. No doubt there is in the heart of the' people a certain jealousy of England, such u might exist in one village against another village on account of the last cricket match that was lost. But this is not greater now than it has been any time for the last fifty years —or, indeed, for untold cen turies. I don't deny that if the immense calamity for the world, and for France above all, of a war with England, were to take place, the French people, who, unfortunately, love glory more than judos or prudence, would in the first instance merge every other feeling in an ardent hope for the suc cess of their flag. "If 'twere done, then 'twere well 'twere done quickly," would be the feel ing. But the true opinion of a nation is not to be gathered from those who, making no account of intervening difficulties, would hail an impossible result, or from men who, having nothing to lase, would experience a reckless pleasure from the ex citement of war. All the intelligence, all the property of the nation is convinced that no valid reason, no plausible pretext could be found for pranging into a war with England. Those who believe that the Emperor alone prevents his people from rushing upon us fall into a trap for the simple minded which has been artfully baited here. I care not for the ill-will of the nitre's ontane clergy. M. Louis Vendees ravings have very little effect in the country. I don't deny that the army, which habitually makes no ee -1 count of life, would march joyfully against England if desired. But what I deny is that either the army or any other constituted body in Franoe has either the desire or the power in the slightest degree to force the hand of the executive, and urge on war with England against the real wish of the Emperor. The department of Public Safety, acting upon the old principle that the duty of every court is to extend its jorisdiction, has just exercised its power in a new way. It is well known that all new publi c/Alone—whether books or journals—are liable to be seized; but it never yet occurred to anybody to imagine that standard works, being on sale at libraries and bookstalls, were amen able to an arbitrary interdict when offered for sale by auction. This stretch of power has, how ever, been tried on, and of coarse with success, for, as I have often had occasion to say, the essential and distinguishing character of the imperial system is that no private individual, however much he may be aggrieved, has any legal redress against the admi nistrative anthorites. A collector of historical books and pamphlets relating to the periods of 'B9 and '93, lately proposed to sell his valuable collection by auction. The sale has been stopped by an abuse of power which it is es impossible to question u to justify. It is reported that the Procureur-General, M. Chair d'Estange, said, apropos of this subject, " We will not have the revolution of '93 spoken of either in terms of praise or censure ; we require silence." The Bourse was to-day rather dull. The hopes entertained, that the quotation ex di,. would be 70fr., have not been quite realised. That figure was for • moment touched to-day, bat the closing priose (ex div.) were 69fr. 70s. and 69fr. 83c., being a fall of 10c.,for cash and the equivalent of yesterday's price for account. Mobilier fell lfr. 26c., and Spanish Credit Mobilier, 2fr. 60c. The Western Railway fell 6fr., but Lyons rose 10fr., and the other lines were about 2fr. acoo. higher. A sentinel, at Vslenciennee, was severely wounded on November 30, by two men, who seized him by the throat on the sudden and stabbed him in two Places with a knife. The colonel commanding the garrison has issued an order of the day recommend ing soldiers not to hesitate to use their bayonets against people, who, no matter under what pretext, came near them in the night time. The official adhesions to the congress of Rowe and Portugal arrived in Paris to-day. A duel was fought this morning between the Marquis de Galiffret, the young husband of Mdlle. Laffitte, mid the Marquis de Lauviaton. They had a quarrel, and came to blows, coram populi, at the Opera. I have not heard the result of their deadly meeting. The trial concerning the publication of the apo cryphal letter in the .dini de la Religion terminated to-day. Ita responsible editor, the Abbe Sisson, has been sentenced to three months'imprisonment and • tine of 1,000 francs ; and the printer to one month's imprisonment and a fine of 600 francs. The French papers publish oa behalf of M. de Latoartine a contradiction of the report, which, It seems, hes been circulated, that he proposes to deliver public Imam's. He had waived In Perla, from Mama, and is working at hie aerial, the latretivie Litterairta. AUSTRALIAN HORSE TRADE WITT!

Dwarka wu evacuated by the Waghers on Oct. 30, and the expedition ,‘ at an end. - --- The Bombay Gazette says: On the evening of Sunday, the 30th nit., the Waghers made a sortie on the sailors' battery, and were repulsed with severe loss. Early on the Tuesday morning they evacuated the lot t, cutting their way through the pickets of the 28th Regiment, severely woundiog one officer and three men of the regiment*. They passed dose to the 28th camp, but that corps could not do anything tower& intercept ing them, owing to the darkness.

The navy and the tranapoete rendered every possible itest.tance to the troops by the very heavy fi r e th e y kept up from the steamers, as well ea front the sailor.' bat tens' ashore, both at Beyt and Derarks. The European troops were making preparations to return, and will probably arrive in a day or two. It is believed that the 6th regiment will join Colonel Boobies force in pursuit of the Waghers. The volunteers from the mews of the transports, particularly of the Ramillies, were exposed for a considerable time to a very heavy fire of muskeny, in which one of them was wounded. _ _ In Central India a campaign ie about to open from Neemuch against a body of rebels, said to be 5,000 strong, encamped in a mod fortress upon the banks of the Chumbul.

The concluding series of elections had been completed, and the reformed parliament had assembled. 1)r. Murphy had been elected Speaker without opposition. Of the new parliament the Melbourne hera ld says: . . The composition of the reformed Assembly is of a rather motley kind. It contains many heterogeneous elements, of which, we think, some will be found to be utterly imprac ticable for any useful purpose. Of the decidedly objection able element there is, we are bound to sty, but a very small proportioo. If some half-a-dozen of members who on qurattooably come under that category were exchanged for the some number of more respectable men, the general evalua tion of the present house, both as regerds racial standing in the community and Irgi,lative &nese, would be about equal to that of its predecessor. Bar there Is a prevalent convic tion in tho public mind that the obnoxious half-dozen or so of "detrimental.'" will very speedily subside into blank obeenrity. They reboot fail to disonver ere long that they hare made a sad mistake in getting into parliament. Alone, they can accomplish nothing. and will be peremptorily pat down if they attempt any miechief; and it is, of cone" quite impossible that they can be taken into coalition by any respectable section of the house. Already, indeed, some of the more conspicuous of them have been playing off such foolisn entice before the pubHo as have reduced them, most effectually, to ineignificance end contempt. With the map tion here epecitial. the new Assembly may be set down es • very fair one, considering all the circumstances. itrepecting the gold-fields the Herald says: Since the date of our 'sat summery the government escorts have brought 224,974 on. of gold to Melbourne, showing ea Inarsese on the quantity during the =responding period of last year, though the total .mount shipped shoes a felliag off.

HUNGARY (PNOM OOR OWN PINTR, Dec. The Germans and the correspondent of m e London Times, who received his political educes lion among them, rarely mention the old constietv tion of Hungary, modified in 1648 and abolishs4 by the Austrians in 1849, without a sneer. The; call it a feudal abomination ; and indeed, whethe we look to the organisation of the House of Peer s ce to that of the House of Commons, it was not at a, logically arranged; no class of the nation was cyst tematically represented, no one entirely left out frost the representation ; large counties and email com ties returned an equal number of members; the franchise was ill-defined, the mode of electiat not at all uniform ; here the ballot prevailed and there the open vote, &c. No Germs: could explain such a constitution by and dialectic of Hegel, no French doctrinaire could die cover uniformity in it, and it happened that we our selves found that our constitution ought to be modr fled according to the requirements of the age. We. aware, however, that the Austrian government raisc< its voice against the defects of the constitution, tic: in order to remedy them, but to overthrow the who:, fabric, we took care to proceed cautiously with de reforms, and thus, between 1832-1836, we slowly at; steadily revised, reformed, and consolidated the lave which regulated the relations between lendlort and tenant, including tenant rights, manoris. courts, and agricultural police. In 1839 we passed a code of commerce ; and in 1843 we emancipated the protestanta, and worked hard • consolidate the criminal law. Daring all the time we had to defend our constitution against the aggressions of the government, which in 1836 had inaugurated an era of terrorism, imprisoning Lou. nth and several other public characters, and prose. curing some thirty eminent membersof the oppositict with action. for treason. Relenting in 194 , , the Viennese government tried again to subvert en 1843 the county organisation by extending the powers of the lord-lieutenants, and during all the time it obstructed all the reforms which I mentioned above. Taking all these difficulties into account, we must admit that the old constitution, though a "feudal abomination," worked well enough, especially if we compare its results with the barren ness of the levelling system of the present very logical and systematical ministers. What hats they produced until now but dissatisfaction, the ruin of the power of the empire, the law of its prestige, the disorganisation of the army, and the disorder of the finances? However the Germans may boast of their superiority and of their genes, they have not displayed them either in the adminis tration of Hungary or of Italy. One good cer. tainly came out of their mismanagement, though they never intended it the national union between the different elements of political life in Hungary. The proteatants, the Oreeks,and the Roman catholies, the Groats, Serbs, Germane, and Hungarians were never so united as now. Each of them having some ground of complaint against the Vienna government, their common hatred has become a new bond of union, The meeting for the organisation of the Museum in Transylvania, delayed for many years by the Austrian officials, afforded a capital opportunity for an anti-Austrian demonstration. The Hungarian Academy at Peath accordingly sent a deputation to Klausenburg on the occasion, which was of course received with fraternal embraces, torch light processions, and significant speeches on both aides, expressing the feelings of unity between Hungary and Transylvania. At the public meeting Count Mils& the principal founder and president of the Museum, instead of thanking the government for the permission given to the founders to sacrifice then own to their country's good, as a Gerona world have done, and as was expected by the government officials, spoke rather of the numberless difficulties thrown in the way of the patriotic founders of the Museum. He reminded them of the farther dill. culties with which they will have to struggle, and called upon their patriotism to surmount them. Then came the vote about the language in which the transactions are to be published, a subject from which the government expected s fruitful crop of discussions and dissensions. However, no speeches were made, but the ballot was taken c once, and among 383 votes no black ball was found to protest against the Hungarian language—t wu adopted unanimously. AU the proceedings were characterised by the same unanimity which, . . according to the Austrian officials, is the result of deep-laid conspiracy. The great object of Baron Thierry—the wise Minister of Police, who fines the papers " for making not only him but any private or public person ridiculous "—is now to get hold of that great Hungarian conspiracy. Accordingly, a domiciliary visit has been made at Mr. E. Zsedenyi's, who was the first to raise his voice on behalf of the protestant. at the meeting at Kaesmark, and to protest against Count Than's famous decree for the organisation of the protestant church, which, as we now learn from the Darmstadt Gazette, had been previously communicated to, and was approved by, the Collegio Romano, the headquarters of the holies at Rome. M. Zsedenyi is a wealthy man, always remarkable for hi. conservatism; before 1848 one of the ablest advocates of the government measure. at the Diet, and one of the best high officials of the government. The report that he is to be prosecuted criminally for treason made an enormous sensation in Hungsry, and many wild rumours are spreading in the country ; for instance, that the Emperor, furious about the resistance is meets in Hungary, is coming himself to Peoth, pre• ceded by an army of 40,000 German., in order to overawe all posaibility of opposition. - . As a specimen of the way in which Hungary is governed I may mention the following fact. The burgesses of the mining town of Oraviczs, in the Banat, found that it would be rather convenient fat them to have their streets lit. Since they had the necessary funds at hand, they at once entered into an agreement about lighting the town. Scanxiy, however, had the temps been placed and lit up, when the government official mopped the lighting, bemuse the town of Oravicza had not previously requested and got the permission from Vienna for lighting the streets. Such is the patriarchal government of Austria. As to the affairs of the peer, I need not say that the liberty r f the editor is as much circumscribed as possible. Still, Baron de Thierry, the Minister of Police, not satisfied with the miserable position of the Austrian papers, issued lately a decree, according to which the editors are liable to fine and imprison- ment if they should publish any facts unobjectionable by themselves, which however could not have oozed out but by the indiscretion of some official ; further, if they should publish anything that would make any private or public person ridiculous. What a pity that Baron 'fhierry's press decree cannot be applied to the wise minister himself ; he certainly deserves to be fined and imprisoned first according to his own decree, for he has made himself and the Austrian government ridiculous. I recommend him to the tender mercies of Punch, whose friends and imitators ho cruelly wishes to extinguish. Whilst writing these lines I get the information that the Lutheran Tibiscan superintendential admit nistrator, the Right Rev. Mr. Toperozer, has been sum• owned to appear before the provincial crimiaal court of Kasehan on a charge of treason, and that the United Greek Bishop of Munkiens has been carried off by the Austrian police.
