A !ate i•lttioto of the Ayres; is publiAlo.l every erfeUOlg dorm: the ruin •0114011, couttiuing the results of the (LAY'S MIL Timer are few persons who could read the re port of the trial of Wituss Msuixev for the murder of his wife without being "truck, first, by the extraordinary nature of the evidence of the witness .I...xrir Sii :rusks, and, secondly, by the vacillation and infirmity of purpose exhibited by the jurymen before whom the case was tried. The evidence of SAUNtil[ll.l4, it will be remem bered, was briefly this : —On the morning of Sep tember the 2nd he left his home at about five o'clock, and spent the early part of the day in wandering about the town in search of employ ment. At about 12 o'clock noon ho appears to hare found himself in Leg court, flreat Peter street, Westminster, where the accused and his wife resided, though how he came there or why he went there does not appear. Neither does it come out what he had been doing since seven o'clock in the morning, when he had an interview at Pimlico with a man named CALI.EII., who was instrumental in getting him some employment. It appears, then, that SAUNIICSis entering Leg•court at about the hour when the murder was supposed to be committed, wont into the house occupied by the prisoner and the deceased woman. The parlour door was open, and the witness looked in. He saw a man strike a knife into a woman. The man had his beet towards the witness, and the woman stood facing him. Having seen this stab, which he describes as "a forward thrust with the right arm," the witness quietly walks away, and, merely re marking casually to some people who were stand. ing about the entrance to the court that " there is " murder going on in that court," he goes off, and, marvellous to relate, betakes himself to a neighbouring eating-house where he buys "Borne " pudding" and eats it. In the course of cram examination this witness states that he can read and write very imperfectly, and that " unfortn " nately" he had not had much time for religious instruction. He professes, however, to have a distinct understanding of the importance of the evidence he has given, and to know that a life is at stake, and depending in a great degree on what he says. The solemn address of the Judge himself fails to shake the witness's statement, and the only explanation he tan give of the monstrous fact that he actually stood by and saw this murder committed without interfering in the victim's behalf, is that he was " frightened and confusA, and did not know what "he was about." The gross insensibility of this man, who could leave such a scene as this and go off immediately to an eating-house, is something which those only who are weU acquainted with the clam to which he belongs can at all comprehend. But this case of non-interference in a matter of life and death is far from being an isolated one. Any one who has had opportunities of witnessing the conduct of the mass of which an English crowd is composed will have observed how, in the presence of some scene of violence or danger, it is utterly paralysed and inactive. A few impotent exclamations of " It's a shame," or, " Why don't somebody interfere f " or " Can nobody find a policeman t " may be heard circulating among the bystanders on such occasions; but unless some educated person of more than common energy is by to take the initiative, nothing is done. When such an one comes forward, he never has to wait for backers ; but the crowd, with no one to direct it, is like JosaPn Sat•Nnsr.s, " frightened and confused, and not " knowing what it is about." We all of us re- member the murder at the watchmaker's in Parlia ment-street, which occurred some years ago when a large collection of persons stood flattening their noses against the shop-window, witnesses of the murder which was being committed inside. The coura ge and energy that make a man ready to act in emergencies of this sort is, singularly enough, • rare and exceptional quality, and we think it is hardly too much to say, that if a murderer took it into his head to break open his victim's skull in the Strand at bread nointide, the neighbours would stand by and stare, much as in another cue the neigh bours sat by and listened while Mr. Nosier-, in his Northumberland-street chambers, fired pistols at his cb' 7-piece for practice. The astounding weakness and stupidity of the witness J.oirrir Sirsnasa are by no means to be considered, then, as necessarily invalidating his evidence. That that evidence is difficult to re ceive there can be no doubt, just se there is no doubt that the jury might reasonably hesitate to give, on the strength of that evidence, • verdict of guilty. But this is no excuse for their extra ordinary, and, were the use • less serious one, their ludicrous, evasion of the responsibility thrown on them. Curiously enough, too, it is not on this ground of the doubtful nature of Sirs- 1 nets's' evidence that they shrink from giving their verdict ; neither is it in consequence of the remarkable testimony of the medical witness that be thinks it "probable" that the wound received by the deceased woman was self-inflicted. Neither of these reel points of difficulty in the ease seems to affect them ; but, on the contrary, they are from the first of opinion that the pri soner was " guilty of killing his wife." That this killing was wilful murder is the conclusion from which they shrink, and ingenious indeed are the subterfuges under which they seek to shelter THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENIIKI, SEPTEMBER 30, 1861. themselves. First of all, they find out that the prisoner was guilty of kiting his wife, but that he had done so without tfiemeditation ; and on the learned Judge declining to receive this remarkable jumble as a verdict, they set to work to convert a case, which is mos% obviously either one of murder or of suicide, into what even the counsel for the defence never suggested—homicide. One after another, howf:ver, this extraordinary jury are obliged by the Judge to abandon their havens of refuge, and at last, when really compelled to say yes or no, they give a verdict of " Guilty," accompanied by a recommendation to mercy, on the ground that when the prisoner went Lome he had no intention of murdering his wife, and that "something must have occurred" to induce him to do so. It is said of the late Lord MELBOURNE that, when sitting with some brother magistrates to investigate a case of wife murder, he turned to his colleagues when the man was found guilty, and said, "We must really " let this fellow off ; women are so aggra " sating." The jury seem to have had their eye upon this opinion of Lord MELBOURNE'S when giving their verdict ; or perhaps they thought that the " five gallons " of beer consumed by the pri water and his wife on the day preceding the death of the latter might have had some share in excul pating him from the full responsibility of the act of which they found him guilty. If the prerogative of mercy is exercised in this instance, it should be on the pound that the jury has given a decision not warranted by the evidence before them ; and, in deed, on that ground, considering the testimony of the surgeon, arid the apparent improbability of the evidence of SA I N oncs, there does seem some rea son why the extreme penalty of the law should be remitted. Ties crisis in the cotton trade is gradually cad minating. During the put week the excitement in the Liverpool market his been almost unprece dented. Manufacturers, exporters, and specula tors, particularly the latter, have bought freely, and the result has been the further great rise of fully Id. per lb. in American descriptions. The computed stock on Friday was 750,630 bales ; at the same period in 1860 it was 902,730 bales, with the period drawing near for our receiving a s fresh supply, which does not seem to be the caL now. The imports of the past week have been only about four thousand bales. It is stated that arrangements are being made for the shipment of a considerable quantity to the United: States, for the use of the Northern manu facturers. The foreign demand upon our con stantly diminishing stock bids fair, therefore, to reach to an annually large aggregate. Mean while, ea cotton rises, additional mills continue to be closed, or to be put on short time. It will not be long before the first indications of distress amongst the operatives in the cotton districts will hrce themselves upon public attention. In several other departments of manufacture, however, it is satisfactory to notice that some improvement is oc curring, particularly in the home branch. if be Court. —•— BALMORAL. Si:proms= 27.

The Rnyal Mail steamship Arabia, Captain Stone, which left Boston on the 18th instant, and Halifax on the 20th, arrived here this morning at 10.45. A telegraphic summary of the news by this arri val has already been published. PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND THE SLAVES. The Nem lurk Times says : From Washington we have a eoofinnatiob of the rumour that has been prevalent for some days, in a variety of phrasea, of a difficulty between the President and Geoeial Fremont that seems likely to result in the removal of General Fremont from his comm►od. Such a step, if the affair should have that result, will incite a very general feeling of regret. The following is the letter from the President to General Fremont : Sir,—Yours of the Rth, in answer to mine of the 2nd inst., was just received. Assuming that you, upon the ground, could better judge of the necessities of your position than I could at this distance, on seeing your proclamation of August 30 I perceived no general objection to it ; the par ticular objectionable cause, however, in relation to the con &cation of property, and the liberation of slaves, appeared to be objectionable in its nonconformity to the Act of Congress passed the 4;th August upon the mum subjects, and hence I write you expressing my wish that that clause should be modified accordingly. Your answer, just re ceived, expresses the preference on your part that I should make ■n open order fur the modification, which I very cheerfully do. It is therefore ordered that the said clause of mid proclamation be so modified, held, and construed, as to conform with, and not transcend, the provisions on the same subject contained in the act of Congress, entitled "An act to confiscate property used for insurrectionary purposes," approved, August G, INfil, and that said act be published at length with this order. A. LINCOLN. MILITARY MOVEMENTS. The Nero York Herald of the 17th gives the fol lowing summary of the state of affairs : From Western Virginia the news is still very eecouraging. General Lee, with a very large force, attacked General Reynolds's troops at Chest Mountains, but after a long engagement was successfully repulsed, with heavy loss. The unionists, fighting behind entrenchments, suf fered but little ; and when, after the engage ment, the scouts were sent out, they found the rebels had retreated several miles. General Cox's body of Kanawha Valley Union troops bad advanced some distance from Ganley-bridge towards Lewis burgh, and Generals Wise and Floyd were in full retreat er-stwanl. General Resencrans was at Camp Scott, direct ing the arrangements of the advancing forces. The news from Baltimore is very important. A few more of the rebel members of the Maryland legislature were arrested yesterday by the Ilaltimore police, and every effort is being made to secure the whole of them. As it in, there ass be no quorum of the legislative body, therefore the state cannot now be forced out of the union against the will of the citizens, a majority of whom are still loyal. The rebel army before Washington is still reported quiet, with the exception of a few trifling shots exchanged be tween the pickets. The 'tamer Satellite arrived safely at the Washington Navy Yard, notwithstanding the assertion of the rebel newspapers that the banks of the river are completely lined with their batteries, so that they eta close up the navigation of the same at any moment they please. The reported proclamation of the Captain-General of Cuba continues to occupy the attention of the state depart ment, notwithstanding the denial of official knowledge thereof having been made by the Spanish minister. Potter's investigating committee is still prosecuting its inquiries relative to the loyalty of the government eutployls. The intelligence from General Banks' column is inte resting. A smart engagement took plats on Sunday after. noon opposite Pritchard's mills, three miles above Darns town, between the rebels, about 450 strong, and five com panies of union troops. The contest was very spirited, and lasted two hours, resulting in the complete rout el the rebels, driving them out of every house and breastwork they had occupied, with a lees of ten killed and a number wounded. The union loss was only one killed, arising, doubtless, from the superiority of range of their guns. From Fortress Munroe tidings have been received relative to the constant change of the rebel forces at Sewall's Point, at last reports only numbering 500. A scarcity of provi sions in the county is doubtless the cause. A number of United States vessels are reported off Old Point. From Leavenworth, Kansas, intelligence has been received of an engagement between Colonel Montgomery, with 500 Kansas troops, and General Rains, with between 2,000 and 3,000. The latter, having several pieces of artillery and superior numbers, proved too formidable for the former, who had but one howitzer. Notwithstanding these disad. vantages, the union men kept up a running fight while slowly retreating, causing serious loss to the rebels. Night- I fall setting in, Colossi Montgomery made good his retreat towards Leavenworth. A vessel said to have ran the blockade at Galveston re ports a great amount of distress prevailing about Texas. A privateer mounting four gulls, six-pounders, was reported r baring arrived at the port of Minititlan, Mexico, about the biennia( at the present month. The privateer Sumter was reported at Surinam on the 21st ult., threatening to fire the town unless she was supplied with coal and provisions, at which she stood much in need A telegram dated Jefferson City, Missouri, Sept. 17, says : A man who arrived here today states that on the 14th General Price, with 17,000 men, had surrounded Lexington, and bad sent a aummoea to Colonel Mulligan to surrender. Colonel Mulligan refused, when Price is reported to nays mat back word that he would give him until Monday at 4 o'c:ock to surrender, and it he did not he would march on him with a black flag. It is confidently thought in military quartets hero that General Sturgis has by this time reached Lexington from St. Joseph, and that General Price will be cut off or forced to retreat. Quite a panic prevailed at Georgetown on the receipt of the news from Lexington, and many families fear an attack by the rebels. All is quiet here, and no apprehension ate felt of an immediate attack. By telegraphic advice@ rid Halifax we learn that the above threatened attack was made, and resulted in the defeat of General Price, and a reported lose on the Confederate aide of 4,000 men. The Federal loss is said to have been 800. NAVAL EXPEDITIONS FOR THE SOUTH, The New York Hensld, in s leader speaking of the secret naval expeditions now fitting out for the South, Rays : It has been rumoured for some time that there were other secret expeditions In contemplation against the southern coast besides that which resulted so successfully at Hatteras Inlet, on the coast of North Carolina, and within the last few days mysterious notes of preparation were beard which went far to show that thou rumours were not without foundation. But movements have now taken place which leave no doubt on the subject, even if we were not phsced i n p os se ss i on of facts, which we are not now at liberty to mention, but which satisfy us that there is something in the wind. It had been recently stated that those monster steam ships the Atlantic, the Baltic, sod Vanderbilt, had been chartered by the government for some secret naval service at the same time that other transports, previously engaged bad come to this city for the same purpose. The transports have suddenly disappeared, and with them as suddenly several regiments encamped on Long Island, at Scarsdale, Camp Winfield, Scott, Hempstead, at Fort Hamilton, and other points. The New Hampshire regiment which was missed frees its camp on Sunday, was seen to take the cars of the Long Leland Railroad early in the morning, and it is ascertained that it proceeded to the terminus of the mad, at the other end of the island. Everybody who "Reread this movement felt astonished. What, it was asked, can troops be wanted for in that region ? But the appearance of the Atlantic off Greesport soon solved the mystery. The troops were taken on board, and the ship steered in • southward direction. Of the precise destination of these troops, mid of the other regiment—to all from 6,000 to 10,000 men—we teapot liana our readers ; it is a government secret. But we may state generally that it is undoubtedly the southern coast. There are at least three !weal expeditions afloat, end all the available troops on the northern coast will be wet in one or the other of them. General Butler went to Boston to seed forward troops from that direction, and he is to command one of the expeditions himself. In the course of three weeks perhaps 10,01.0 U men will have landed et different points ou the southern coast, where they will act in cooperation to the same end, and penetrate to the very heart of the cotton region. MISCELLANEOUS FACTS. The liidintund grAgn4iner, of the 9th of Septem ber, says Jefferson Davis had 60 far recovered from his severe illness as to be able to take an airing in his carriage. The New York Eershig Post states that it is rumoured at Washington that the offer of the American government to accept the proposition of the Paris Conference relative to privateering has been rejected by the European powers. The Maryland Legislature met on the 17th. Only eleven members answered the roll-call in the house, and not a single 'mintier answered in the senate. All the banks of New Orleans suspended specie payment on the 16th September. The Secretary of War in the Confederate Cabinet has resigned iu cmsequence of bad health. A Louisville telegram says : Merlons fears are entertained for the crops of the south. The ruins of August are reported the heaviest and most general ever known, and were very disastrous. The Savannah Republican claims fair rice crops, but admits that continuous rains have damaged them somewhat. The Baton Runge Advocate says that the cotton crops of that vicinity are literally covered with the army worm, and that the fate of the crop will be sealed iu a few days, for the rains and heavy atmosphere are favourable to the workers. Mr. McMaster, the editor and proprietor of the Freernan'A Appeal, a secessionist journal of New York, had been arrested and sent to Fort La fayette. The weekly averages of the New York City Banks present the following changes from the previous ex hibit :—Decrease in loans, 3,097,779 dull. ; decrease 'in specie, 4,357,818 dole. ; decrease in circulation, 97,961 dela. ; decrease in uudrawn deposits, 7,330,185 dole. 00XNEP.CIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The journals rejoice at the support thus afforded to the Italian cause by this eminent Italian theologian. In their journey through the towns of tho Cam pagna the royal princes have boeu welcomed with great enthusiasm by the inhabitants. The Opinioive of to-day says :—" A telegram from Madrid announces that France has proposed that the archives of the Neapolitan consulate should be consigned to the French consular agents, who would afterwards transmit them to the Italian go vernment. It is believed that Spain accepts this proposition." Thu Murinunto of to-day states that a protest against the occupation of Rowe by the French troops has been signed in Venetia amid great enthusiasm. FLORENCE, Elm. 28. The first sitting of - the Congress of the Work men's Societies was held to-day. Signor Mordiui proposed a declaration for adop tion by the societies, to the effect that they should occupy themselves with politics, in order to acquire strength to resist the government if it attempted anything contrary to the welfare of the nation--such as the cession of Sardinia, which he said had been universally rumoured. Thu majority of the deputies present protested against this proposition. When the President had restored order, Mordini's proposition, after having been sensibly modified, was adopted by 72 against 30 votes. Several members abstained from voting, under a protest, that the societies were departing from the fundamental principle of their institution, which was to afford mutual aid. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Rm. 29. The Preussische Zeitung of to-day says the King will proceed to Compiegne on the 6th of October, in order to return the visit which the Emperor of the French last year paid his Majesty at Baden. Amoug the perilous who are to accompany the King is Count Pourtales, the Prussian Ambassador at Paris. The same paper says, the latest reports received from the Prussian Minister at Tien-tsin relative to the negotiation for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce between Prussia and China permit the hope of a speedy and favourable result. HUNGARY. PESTH, Serr. 29. It is stated that all the public functionaries of the Cotuitat of Pesth, from the Palatine down to the lowest employe, will to-morrow tender their resigna tions, thus leaving 600,000 inhabitants without any administration. The members of the Assembly of the Comitat will be prevented by the soldiers from meeting again. The Minister of Finance has issued a decree ordering the collection of the taxes by military execution to be vigorously proceeded with in these parts of the country where it had been suspended ou account of the harvest. No more forbearance will be shown. MATH, Bar. M. The building in which the sittings of the Assembly of the Comitat of Pesth are held was oucupied last night by the military, and the members were prevented from assembling, by forts. All the fuuctionarius iu the Comitat of Pesti' have tendered their resignation. SPAIN. MADRID, Sim 27. The Cumspoluiencia efutografa of to-day ex presses a hope that Baron Tecco has not yet re ceived his final instructions from the Italian go vernment. TURKEY. VIENNA, airr. 30. Letters received here to-day from Ragusa state that symptoms of insubordination have appeared amongst the Turkish troupe in the camp at Balecia on account of the non-payment of the arrears due to them by government. Omer Pasha, it is added, thereupon sent up the arrears. THE BRAZIL MAIL. LISBON, Barr. X The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Oneida, which arrived hero yesterday from the Brazils will leave for Southampton at 7 a.m. to day with 63 passengers, 120,1411. sterling, and 3,000 bags of coffee. It is reported that immediately after the return of the Emperor Napoleon frost Biarritz to hie cepitad, an event which is expected to take place to-day, a council will be held at the Tuileries on the Roman question. It is further added that M. de Cadore, who has s hared with the Duo de Gramont the labours of French diplomacy at the Holy See ; M. Benedetti, the newly-appointed French Minister at the Italian Court; Count Viinercati, whose various special Millllollll from Bing Victor Emmanuel to the Emperor sufficiently denote the confidence accorded to him by both sovereigns ; and Prince Napoleon, will be invited to augment by their individual experience the data already possessed by the Im perial cabinet. From this meeting important results are anticipated. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (ritox ova owe col PARIS. SUNDAY EVINING. Several journals have lately stated that the Em peror had disapproved of a note (or, as it has been called, an ultimatum) which Baron Rieasoli pro posed to send to the Pope, and in which guarantees for his spiritual power were offered very much in the terms set forth in the recent pamphlet. This statement has a foundation in fact, but is so far from correct as to mislead very seriously. Drafts of the note in question have repeatedly been submitted to the Emperor at Biarritz, through M. Thouvenel, and on each occasion the Emperor found something to object to. But so far from his having definitively rejected Baron Rhasoli's proposals, he is endeavouring to come to an understanding with him, and the nego tiations are still going on. lam given to un derstand that the last despatch on the subject from Biarritz stated that the matter must stand over till the Emperor returned to Paris. I presume, also, that nothing decisive will be done till after the visit of the King of Prussia, but then I think it will be taken very seriously in hand. This infor mation coincides with the statement I felt justified in noticing a few days ago, that an important council es Italian affairs would be held at the Tuileries before the middle of next month. It is said by the Patric that the Chinese govern ment, not having yet permitted Prussia to have a resident minister at Pekin, the French minister has taken charge of the interests of Prussian subjects in that capital. It is now pretty certain that the King of Den mark will not visit France this year, but it is said that M. Dotezac, one of his ministers, will repre sent him, in order to settle the tedious Holstein affair in concert with the King of Prussia. " Settle " seems to me too strong a word, but it may be that laudable attempts at a settlement will be made. The applications to the French committee for the London Universal Exhibition have lately been so numerous that it has been found necessary to engage several extra clerks. M. Plichon, the ultr•montanist deputy, who played second fiddle to K Keller last year, has just married the daughter of M. BoiteUe, the Prefect of Police, and immediately after the wed ding the happy pair set out for Rome to have their union blessed by the Pope. Thus do the Emperor's bitterest enemies congregate around the obstinate Pope, and conspire with him how best to use the power which he possesses, by virtue only of the Emperor's inexplicable toleration, for the pur pose of thwarting French policy. K Plichon's friends who took part in General Lamoricibre's unlucky expedition last year are now openly boasting in Paris that their parole (I speak of those who were made prisoners by Cialdini), which was only given for a year, has expired, and that they are now free to fight for the Pope again. They got np a report the other day that Lamoriciere was already in Rome; but that story was not true, and I think I may undertake to say that Lamoricihre is too thankful to have got clear out of the Roman mesa to repeat the mistake which has so woefully damaged his reputation. M. Loubat, a late Mayor of Sevres, settled an annual sum of 300 fr. on the occasion of his retire ment from office, to be distributed in prizes among the communal schools of the village. One of these prizes was 50fr. to be given to the " best child" in the school, who should be so designated by the vote of the children themselves. This year the prize in question was duly voted by an immense majority of the school to a little girl named Hen rietta Foras. But the Vicar of Sevres, a priest named Heb4rt, had the impudence to object against all law and justice that Henrietta could not be allowed to receive the prize " because she was • protestant " The lay members of the trustee ship after • feeble resistance acquiesced in this sug gestion, for which you must understand there is not a shadow of pretext in the terms of the donation, or in the law applicable to such trusts. Some protestant ladies at Sevres, struck with the flagrant injustice done, subscribed a purse of 50fr. for the girl, and they made it an additional grievance that the authorities refused to allow her to receive it publicly on the day of the annual distribution of prizes. Ido not think this a matter for public complaint, but I agree with the Opinion .Nationale that there must be something very rotten in the administration of the duties of the ministry of public instruction and worship, when, under the very park walls of St. Cloud, a mayor and an assistant-mayor should abet a catho lie priest in making protestantiam a ground for ex clusion from civil advantages. By the French con stitution and code the protestant religion is in the eye of the law altogether equal with the catholic, and if the Romish priests have become so rampant and overbearing of late years, the fact is only to be attributed to the sufferance of the Emperor, who might very easily keep them within legal bounds, without at all infringing ou their own reasonable liberty. One of the principal equestrians at the Hippo drome hanged himself this morning rather than break off a Goison with a mistress whose extrava gant follies his income, though large, was insufficient to gratify. There is a fatality about the Hippo drome this year ; only a short time ago the cashier committed suicide. tiEktMAN 1. The Germanic Diet will not resume its sittings until the 31st October, in place of the 24th, as at first appointed. M. Zia Bismark-Schonhausen„ the Prussian envoy to the court of Russia, has arrived at Berlin from Frankfort. Count Karolyi, the Austrian envoy to the Prussian court, has also arrived from Cologne. The Cologne Gautte says : • We learn on positive authority that the Prince Schwarz. burg Rutlolstadt is about to sbdicate, and to many a young, lady of the middle class of society named Schultz, of &rows bug. The abdication is to take place about the middle of November, and the prince intends to reside with hie bride on an estate he possesses near Dresden. The prince is 68 years of age and the lady 23. His highness is greatly esteemed by his subjecte. He contented himself with a civil list of 100,000 florins, and with 38,6478. from the crown domains for his family • and the rest of the revenu e of the domains, which is con siderable, he, of his own free will, made over to the state. He will be succeeded by his brother, Prince Albert, bona in 1798. A letter from liruchsal of the 25th says that Becker had expressed hisdeterminationnottoappeal against his sentence. As each prisoner must choose a trade to work at when in prison, he has selected that of a carpenter. It is related that a few days since M. Jourte, the Swiss Plenipotentiary at Turin, had occasion to call on U Hicasoli, about some eoclesiitatioal affair. When entering the minister's bureau he met • well•knowo Hungarian militaire coming out, but at the time was not particularly struck with the circumstance. In stating his business to Ricssoli the latter did not seem to heed what he said, bat remained, to the astonishment of his visitor, absent and frowning, and suddenly getting up, with au expression of energy, exclaimed, "No, cartes! It shall never be said of us that we abandoned Hungary when her time of trouble cams." AUSTRIA. The committee on religious affairs of the Chamber of Deputies of Austria resolved in its sitting of the 24th to declare the political equality of all citizens whatever their religion, and also their right to re side in all parts of the empire, to acquire real pro perty, and to be admitted to public functions. But the decision was only come to by six votes to five— the numbers on the division having been equal, and the chairman, M. &wilt*, having given his casting vote for the proposition. The Diet of Agram has definitively voted the address to the King, in which it maintains its first resolutions, hostile to the real union with Austria and the Council of the Empire. A deputation, composed of Baron Knstan and M. Kratjevic, will carry it to Vienna. The Austrian government has concluded a con vention with the Prussian government, which re ciprucAlly suppresses the riqr of the Austrian awl Prussian legations on travellers' pn.tsports. THZ REVENUE. --+-- (From t h e Obserrer.) The quarterly returns of the revenue will be made up to-morrow (Monday) evening. There is will another day's collection to be added ; but enough is known toenable as to make an approximate mum,' of the genera results. These returns will show a falling off on the quarter, con. pared with the corresponding receipts of last year, of something like two millions. The year, as compared with 1860, will exhibit a decrease of about a million. But these deficiencies are more apparent than real, and can be easily accounted for. It will to remembered that Mr. Gladstone estimated a loss of two millions and upwards from the re. duction of a penny in the pound of the income tax and the repeal of the paper duties. But it is not from those sources that the present apparently large deficiency will be foetal to arise, but from MUM entirely exceptional and temporary. Indeed, but for these causes, the revenue would show a panr lave increase above the estimated amount; and enough is shown by the present returns to lead to the expectation that at the close of the financial year, on the Ist of April next, the annual return, will be greater than the last. Of the sum of 2,000,0001. it is in the income tax that the largest falling off will appear, being nearly 1,340,101. (which is self.explanatory), and about 850,000/. under Excise. It will be remembered that last year the income tax was 10d. in the pound, and is now 9d. But the falling off in the quarter is not due to this alone. Last year Mr. 1 Gladstone took five quarters instead of four at this period su as to accelerate the payments and bring up the arrears. This year the votes upon the income tax were taken so late in the session as to throw back materially the collection in this quarter, and it is to this more than the reduction of the penny that the large falling-off is due. The deficiency of near a million in the excise is due some what to the fact that the Chancellor of the Exchequer availed himself of the malt credit lest autumn, an opera tion that of course cannot be repeated in this. kit it is right to add that the very bad harvest last year has knocked : down the receipts in malt and hope, wherein the deficiency is mainly to be found. The excellent quality of the barley this year, and the improvement of the hope over the very bad crop of last year, may be expected to bring back the Excise returns to a more wholesome state. The other re. deletions on the year will be found in the land and assessed taxes, chiefly caused by the transfer of game licenses to the Excise. In miscellaneous there will appear a reduction of 600,0001., of which 5C0,0001. is to bo p:aced to the credit I of the repayment from Spain last year, and the remaining 100,0001. of last year's aims arose chiefly from the sale of old stores. - . The total decrease u probably redeemed by an increase in Customs of about 100,0001., io stamps 120,0001., in the annual income-tax 810,0001., and in the Post-office of about 100,0001. The buoyanc y of the Customs, after all the reductions, is one of the most satisfactory items in the account. It is particularly remarkable that more than 350,0001. hie been collected on spirits, in spite of all the gloomy forebodiogs of these who opposed the increase and equalisation of the spirit duties. Tea and sugar also contribute to the continued prosperity of the Customs' re venue. The only remarkable drawback is in tobacco, which shows a decrease of some 30,0001. for the first time, soil is doubtless to be ascribed to the reduced supplies from Moe. rioa—one of the first possible results of the Americas struggle upon our foreign trade. The increase upon stamps is also satisfactory, as every year shows some progress in the dropping in of the legacy andsucceasion duties. The item of Crown lands remains much the same. Upon the whole, there is every reason, from the excellent harvest of this year, to expect a full recovery of Excise loss upon malt and hope, and the income tax will right itself quite time enough, in the opinion of those whose paymeuta have been only postponed by the tardy legislation of last session. The following curious announcement appears iu the advertising columns of the daily papers :—" The Rev. C. H. Spurgeon will lecture on the gorilla and the land he inhabits, at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, on Tues• day evening, Oct. 1, at half•past 7 o'clock. A. H. Inyard, Esq., M.P., will preside. Lecture to be Mutinied by splendid dissolving views painted expressly for the omission. A specimen of the gorilla has been kindly lent by M. Du Chaillu. A choir of 500 children will sing a selection of sacred music." The War authorities have taken the first step,' towards the erection of the new cavalry barracks at Col. cheater, for which a parliamentary grant of 60,111101. wu made during the last session, but of which only 10,0031. will be payable this year. Persons desirous of contracting for the works will meet during the present week to elect a surveyor to take out the quantities, and two weeks only will elapse before the works are in progress. A distressing and fatal accident occurred in the Continental Theatre, Philadelphia, on Saturday, the 14th ult. As some female members of the (lupe de taltd were dressing for a ballet introduced into a representation of the Tempest, one of them named Gale, in standing upon a settee to reach down her dress, was accidentally set fire by the flame of a gm-jet. One of her sisters—there were three of them—endeavoured to extinguish the flames, but in the effort her own clothes were Ignited. The third sister ran to the rescue, and she also was set on fire. In a frantic state they rushed into en adjoining room filled with ballet girls, whose gauze also caught fire, and in a state of extraordinary terror some of them ran down stairs and on to the stage, while others leaped from the windows into the adjoining street. All of them were more or less severely—some of them frightfully —burned, and the result was that six of them died within a few hours of the accident having occurred, and four more were not expected to survive. A letter of the 26th says : —" Yesterday Hamburg, or part of it at least, was thrown into great commotion by & very unusual occurresee. A lion, which was being tmus• ported in a wooden cage from a travelling menagerie to the water side, managed to break loose and get out of his temporary prison. Tho ferocions brute immediately fell upon one of the three horses that were attached to the carriage. The driver, who was upoe one of the two others, sat still in blank amazement at the sight, which was declared by many spec. talon—who, by the bye, were all out of harm's way—among the finest they had ever witness!. In a moment the driver of • second menagerie waggon, who happened to be just behind, came up, awl, calling out for • rope, which was fortunately at hand, ap• preached the lion, and with great nerve and coolness fasteta.ll it round his throat. The infuriated Lewd, who was already feasting upon its fallen victim, disdained to tale any notice of the daring act. In a trice the siiog was tightened round the neck of the destroyer, sod, with the help of half • dozen of the bolder lookers-on, the animal was dragged to the side of the waggon, and secured ignominiously. The horse, in spite of its fearful wouuds. was not quite dead when released from the grasp of enemy which he bad probably not the slightest idea of ..."r meeting in this laud of civilisation." From the Florentine journals of the 24th we learn, that two days previously, a vaned hrul been n e iirl by the coast-guard, which was found to be laden with an.' and ammunition, supplied by the &minim' committee d Genoa. From the papers seized, it further appeared that landing was to have been effected on the coast of the Paisl States, at Fossetta ; and that the scheme was in COODrIi OO with the movements of the Mauinian party in Rome ihelf. LIFEBOAT SERVICF24.—RYE, Sussex, SETT. 28.-- About three o'clock this morning a vessel wns reported to be riding at anchor in the broken water off Camber Coed Guard Station. The coxswain of the lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution immediately summoool his crew, and as quickly as possible linear-3 the lifeboat. It was blowing at the time a gale from S.S.W. with a heavy sea. The lifeboat was rowed to elect ward of the vessel, and her anchor having been let go, she was dropped under the refiners stern. A grapple was then hove ou board, and with the aid of lines the two men on board the wreck were hauled into the brat. The vessel proved to he the barge Peace, of London. Ward, master, from London to Rye, with 'cargo of rement. When the men were taken out of their vessel she striking heavily on the sands, her rudder and boat having been lost, and the sea breaking over her decks.
