SPORTING LNTELLIGENCE. A late edition of the Express is published every evening during the ruing season, containing the results of the day's races. THE retirement of M. FOULD from the French Ministry, and from the first place in the Imperial Cabinet, was never well explained. Failing health was assigned as the pretext ; but from several cir cumstances that have since occurred, it has become manifest that M. Fur Lii disapproved of the lavish system of expenditure, uncontrolled and unlimited, in which the autocratic power of the Eitrzaol allowed him to indulge. Although M. Fouuo's withdrawal from office attracted small attention, it was not so with the bold and searching essay which M. CAMIVIII Pritiza published, pointing out not only the augmentation of the amount of the pub lic stocks, hut the increasing deficits, and the accumulation of the floating debt. M. PLRIER was angrily answered at the time, not with a denial of his facts, but with a to ,pioque : it being pleaded that the constitutional monarchy from 1840 to 1847 indulged in extraordinary credits, over and above the Budget voted by the Chambers, to the amount of six millions sterling each year. M. Foruo, indeed, still main tains that the Imperial Government, from 1851 to IS:04, has not exceeded this amount, provided the expenses occasioned by the war in the Crimea be not taken into account. With these included, the supplementary credits of the Empire have doubled those of constitutional royalty ; whilst the last three years, three years of peace, have exceeded the prodigality of any former period. The quart tilwo , re of RABELAIS, as the French call the inevitable moment of paying the bill, has ut length come in the shape of an overgrown floating debt, which must bo capitalised by a loan. But how go into the market in a moment of full peace I There is no longer the possibility of raising it in the provinces exhausted of their savings by the last financial operation. There is, therefore, the absolute necessity of a new Finance Minister, and a new Programme. The Mooi4 or gazetted the one, and pub lished the other on its front page. The Estrintoa, by adopting and approving it, makes a clean breast to his people. He has indulged in the bad habit of giving his fiat for expenses which had been neither voted nor studied. His Chamber had no sooner terminated their budget and their session, than on the demand of this town or that minister, millions in addition were added to the expenditure. Even since last session a dozen iron men-of-war not set down in the naval estimates have been placed on the stocks. Orders have been issued for finding employment for the working populations of all the ;neat towns. A large portion of the loan raised for the Italian war having been unemployed, it was not applied to the diminution of the floating debt, but assigned to various public works. The Monitor assured the lower classes of Paris, the other day, that bread should not be allowed to rise above 10 sous the two-pound loaf. M. FOuLD refuses to take office unless not only this system be discontinued, but its resumption be declared unconstitutional and illegal. The boldest and most remarkable paragraph of Focui'a .ifiewio is that in which he declares that the poesession and usage of the power to warrant these extraordinary expenses is perhaps the sole arriving link which keeps together • European coalition against France, since it excites uneasy sus picious, opens • door to calumny, and obliges other nations, in their own defence, to recur to immense armaments and exaggerated expenses. It is courageous on the part of hi. F01.1.n to use these arguments—frauk on the part of the EMPEROR to stamp them with his approbation ; for they com pletely contradict and cut away the ground of attack against the British Government taken by the French Ministerial prints. These inspired sheets invariably deny that France has armed more vessels, or incurred more expenses, than the nominal figures set down in the budget, which here merely assisted in transforming the old French sailing navy. M. FOULD abandons these assertions, and the Eel-taint joins him ; thus giving a full corroboration of the rumours and re ports which have been rife in England. Whilst M. FOULD insists on the system of supplementary and extraordinary credits being abandoned, he would preserve the system of eire ne is, of transferring supplies from one Ministry to another. Whatever was wanting to the War Department he would take from that of Education or the Interior. Assuming that M. Fortii'm new system will be a fair pretext for demanding the vote of an ample budget, we think it very probable that the Ministers of War and Marine will find the purse from which they may draw quite as open and quite as inexhaustible as before. Indeed, when we consider the shortness of the French session, the prevalence in the country of the supreme law of necessity, and the character of the Chambers, es at present constituted—the one paid, the other, or at Wet its majority, nomi nated by the Crown—there is neither the fear nor the passibility of the government's being called to account for any infringement of its solemn promise of the 13th of November. It will, however, enable the EMPEROR to refuse idle sod importunate solicitors, .and help M. Fortm for the moment to lift the financial car out of the mire in which it has stuck fast. Under the ' present paralysis of Russia, it is impossible but that the main policy of France should be peace ; however her war party may hope in a year or two to be delivered from a forced and unwelcome state of inaction. At the present moment we are content to feel that it must be the wish of the French Gove-nment to give a proof of its pacific desires. The programme of the new Finance Minister is a promissory note of peace. At least it will prove as effective, and command as much confidence as the promises of autocrats to be mild and economical usually deserve. Moreover, it will giro additional force to the anti-military parties both in England and in Prussia. We shall hear of the NAPOLEONIC declaration in the debates on our own estimates, and the Prussian opposition will use it in their intended onslaught on their own military budget. Ere the Berlin debates take place, however, we shall have better means of judging of the sincerity and scope of this solemn Imperial repentance. Should the general policy of the Cabinet of the Tuileries be in accord ance with its professions, and tend to illustrate as well as prove their sincerity, then the Mc:moire and the decree of the 13th November will be an era not only in the history of France, but in that of Europe.

It is rumoured that the expedition reachcl Bull's Bay, 25 miles from Charleston, on the 3rd instant. General Floyd has engaged General Rosencram in Western Virginia. It is reported that the Confederates were re pulsed. SWITZERLAND. In the elections at Berne for the Council of State, which took place on the 13th, M. Fazy was defeated, being replaced by M. Camperio, of what is called the fusion party. The numbers wore for Camperiu, 4,045 ; for Feu, 3,237. The Temps of Paris says that this election is highly important, because M. Fazy's colleagues are power less without him, and several of them have announced that they will refuse to serve in his absence. In all probability, therefore, there will be new elections, which will give M. Fazy an opportunity of taking his revenge. THE MEXICAN EXPEDITION. The Messarr du Midi observes :—" Thanks to the zeal and activity displayed at Toulon, the de parture of the Mexican expedition has taken place on the very day prescribed by the Minister of Marine, and this feat will long be held up as one of the most extraordinary ones iu the annals of naval armament. Rtstr-Admiral Jurien de la Graviere decided on going himself in his flag-ship, the Maasena, to Oran, to superintend the embarka tion of the 800 Zonaves, and by 11 o'clock in the morning of the 12th all the vessels had left Toulon." ITALY.

That the resolution passed at the Congress of Florence, to the effect that workmen's mutual benefit societies should henceforth take part in political matters (a resolution, it will be remembered, that had been agreed to at the instiga tion of the Ifaminian party), be annulled. 2. That hence forth all political questions shall be absolutely excluded from the debates of the societies in question. 3. That a committee be appointed to organise a congress for next Isar, which is to be the ninth, as that of Asti is only to be considered as an extraordinary one, convoked for the special purpose of repairing the mischief done by the Congress of I Florence.

THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE FINANCIAL CHANGES. (111011 OUR OWN PARIS, FRIDAY EYEING. The Paris journals contain several remarks of interest upon the oonsiderable event proclaimed by the Monitefir yesterday. M. Fould's confessions inspire the Temps with mingled feelings "at once melancholy and con , solatury :" How often have similar views, when expressed by the press, been contradicted and held up to odium as the per fidious suggestions of party ? [The Tempe might here have alluded to the warning given only the other day to the Revue des Deus Monde, for H. Forcade's financial article.] And have not these very statements been more than once the subject of communiques and warnings? Now they have received the very highest sanction, and have become official truths! Such an event is a lame tom never to despair of anything lt G evident that the publications in the Muniteur of to-day, however great their importance, are but the starting point of a new situation. This position will be controverted, no doubt, just an was the case with the decree of Nov. 24, and people will be found to protest that the reforms now announced are complete and final. But the new situation must nevertheless produce its natural consequences, and the most important of those, as it seems to us, will be the re-establishment of ministerial responsi bility. A minister who comes into power with ideas of his own, and gets them adopted, militia, considered as some. thing more than a mere instrument of the imperial will. The universal opinioe, moreover, is that the memorial inserted in the Monileur does not contain the whole pro gramme of the new minister, and that he is intended to have that preponderance in the council which all the beet men under our various regimes have always thought he ought to have. The Tempi also note' the contrast between the French Emperor's renunciation of prerogatives on the ground that, being an elected monarch, he is under no obligation to transmit them intact to his posterity, and the King of Prussia's divine right declarations at Konigsberg. In the Opinion Nationak we read : M. Fonld hopes that the Inauguration of a new system will allay all uneasiness both in France and foreign countries, and that it will be possible seriously to set to work at financial reform, and bring our receipts and expen_ diture into a state of equilibrium. We trust that thes e hopes may be speedily realised. Meanwhile the Corps Legislatif has recovered some of its most indispensable attributes. This is a progress which does honour to the Emperor and his new minister. Another article of the same journal, signed by M. Gueronet, contains the following passages Notwithstanding the political differences which have hitherto separated us from H. Yould, we cannot but admit that no statesman ever came to power in a more honourable way than he now does. He is appointed to carry out measures of his own suggestion. His name signifies economy. He is the herald of order in fineries, just as ii. Persigny last year announced a step towards liberty and a new affirms. tion of the democratic principle. . . . We cannot but see in the change a prelude to the partial or total resur rection of ministerial responsibility. This responsibility is no doubt illusory in a great crisis, because revolutions will always overlook ministers and hold sovereigns responsible. Neverthelesi. it is a very convenient and useful doctrine, because it enables the press and the representatives of the people in parliament to blame the conduct of the govern ment without attacking the basis of its power ; it enables the Emperor to make experiments with opposite systems and opinions without compromising himself personally ; and it odds to the consideration and authority of ministers. Logic is bringing us to it, and the Alonitestr of yesterday has made a great step in the right direction. . . . Let us hope that the uew system will not break down in prat• tics, for in such a case the failure would be in proportion to the great hopes raised. The Gazette de France expresses the opinion that scarcely anything has been done beyond placing the vote of the budget on a more legal footing ; as to the remedy, properly so called, it cannot see • trace of it. The observations of our contemporary run thus : The Treasury has exhausted all the funds at its disposal; at the Bank, end in the establishments under the direction of the state, it has made use of all its credit—bow is all that to be balanced? The whole question lies there, and, unfortunately, M. Fould gives ns only a vague answer. He speaks in general terms of the charges imposed by any army on a permanent war footing, and gives us to understand that, if free to act, he would turn his attention to that point. But that is all. The report, after pointing out and describ ing tbo evil, deem not indicate the remedy. It is evident that the public is admitted only to a half-confidence, and that Fould relies on resources of which be keeps the secret to himself. Unfortunately, the most fertile imagina tion of the most intelligent financier can find only two means of remedying such a state of things—borrowing or imposing new taxes to meet new burdens. The Legislative Ilsly will in vain see its power extended if it is only in the sense of the faculty which will be given it of taking its part of responsibility in sets of that nature, and its intervention will, after all, have but very little influence on the crisis itself. The mode of proceeding will be more legal, and that is all. The Berme Contemporaine, in the number just out, while describing the imperial letter to M. Fould as a " noble" continuation of the free trade policy inaugurated in 1860, and the liberal reforms of November last year, says, with a slight vein of irony: This reform is too important —more especially in regard to the consequences which it foreshadows, viz., a normal increase of the budget, and a hoary loan before long—for us to criticise it fully on the spar of the moment. We shall return to the subject. In the meantime, the public will duly with profit the excellent memorial of the new finance minister, in which the dangers of going too fast in matters of finance are sot forth with a candour much too rare in official documents not to make a great sensation through out Europe. The Patric thinks that not the finance depart ment only, but the general policy of the govern ment, will be modified in the spirit of the new views so clearly expressed in M. Fonld's programme. At the Bourse there were considerable fluctua tions. The Rene, after rising to 69fr. 90c., declined to 69fr. 60c., and closed at 69fr. 50c. for cash, and 69fr. 65c. for account, with a rise from yesterday of but 10c. and 50. Mobilier left off without change, and the Italian Loan fell 10c. Railways were on the whole lower : Orleans fell 10c., and Lyons 3fr. 75c. I hear that Count Widewski, aided possibly byl l his countess, has for the present gained a victory over M. Fould in the matter of precedence and control over the Mouiteur. There can be no doubt, how ever, that M. Fould's star is in the ascendant. It is important to remark that his memorial is dated so far back as Sept. 29, and the changes which startled certain parties like a thunder clap were no doubt settled in the Emperor's mind long ago. Queen Christina has just bought the house No. 78, Champs Elye‘es, in which Mme. Caumont- Woree was murdered by her groom some years ago, as also the one next door, No. 80. Her inten tion is to pull the two houses down, and build • large mansion on the site for ber own residence. The freemasons are still harassed by the govern ment. M. Doumet, the provisional grand master recently appointed, has thought fit to resign. There are doubts whether the election, which stands ad journed till May, will be allowed to come off with masonic legality ; and fears are entertained that a pretext will be found for placing the craft entirely in the hands of power. The price of bread for the second fortnight of the present month is fixed at 47c. the two-pound loaf first quality, being a diminution of lc., and 40c. second quality, unvaried. ADMIRAL FITZ ROY ON THE WEATHER. TO THE EDITOR Or TEN ZIPRZSO. SIN-A few days ago a gentleman who has written on "Astro-meteorology" ventured to predict that a storm would occur about the 17th or 18th of this month. In consequence of this prediction appearing in several papers, application has just been made to me by the captain of a ship preparing to sail to know whether such an occurrence is expected, and was thus foretold by this department. Having explained why it is impossible to fore tell or predict accurately any particular weather, at an interval of time exceeding two or three days, and having assured him that no such far-seeing prediction as that of the 10th inst., adverting to the 17th, would have been ventured on at this office, simply because we could not have facts on which it might be based, even approximately, I feel it a duty to ask fur your assistance in attempting to caution some persons against the perhaps appa rently plausible assertions of writers who myste riously refer atmospheric changes to relative posi tions of Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn, but are ridiculed by really scientific men. While thus troublesome, may I bore you further, for the benefit of others, by remarking that there are numerous vendors of very infenor meteoro logical instruments who assert that they are those, or similar to those, verified at Kew, or supplied to ‘ove minent, although the fact is that they are not so, but are as objectionable as bad watches or cheap razors, which may deceive till proved. There are but few reliable manufacturers of accurate meteorological instruments ; and they are well known in Europe, America, Australia, and India.-1 am, &c. ROST. FITZ ROY.

FOE THE COUNTY or COEN WALL.—THE PRINCE or WALESS COUNCIL CHANBEN, BOCILIEGHAM-GATE, Nov. 11—The names of those who have been Dominated by the Council of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to serve the office of Sheriff of the county of Cornwall :—Thomas Tristram Spry Carlyoo, of Tregrehan, Eaq. ; John Michael Williams, of Caarhays Castle, Esq. ; Thomas Simon Bulitbo, of Peualvern, The Paris correspondent of the Brussels bide pendonee says :—" M. Mould has lost no time. This morn. ing (Thursday) he took the oath to the Emperor, and passed the rest of the day at work at the Ilioietty of Fillllooo. It is stated that before determining the conditions and extent of the loan, the holders of the floating debt will be offered an exchange into the consolidated debt, and it will not be until the result of this offer is known that the amount will be fixed. A considerable reduction of the army is coon. deafly spoken of. Our military officers will be kept up intact, but the men will be disbanded in • very large pro portion." Thu DrZate of to-day concludes an article (by M. Provost Porodol) upon the new finalcial changes in France in the following words :—" It is both a common and profita ble lesson to see a government which nobody prams, which is threatened by none, which we do not even dare to advise. yielding to experience alone, and recognising by an exit amination into the state of the treasury that the legislative control is as necessary to itself as to the country. Doubt less we are not yet at the end of such lessons, always costly but always salutary as well. The force of things is at work in all human institutions, and in proportion as It is ceded to or resisted, it harmonises them with the spirit of the time, or it breaks them to pieces. We aid it to the bed of our power, but, in truth, it is not in used of us ; it speaks in the universal silence; it commands when all the world obeys. Happy the governments who know how to listen to it in time." " A treaty of commerce," nays the Morning Post, " has been concluded between Turkey and England and France, which will have great effect in promoting the agri culture and commerce of Turkey, and her trade with the two Western Powers. There are vast tracts of land, in many instances near the coma, which will now prolubly be brought into cultivation. Under the old Turkish system the government reserved to itself the monopoly of the purchase of corn, which it sought to obtain at an arbitra rily low price for the consumption of Constantinople and the great cities. Landowners, consequently, only sowed suf ficient for their own wants, and any surplus they had went to the government at its own prim. Under the treaty con cluded by Lord Ponsonby with the Porte this monopoly was abolished; but the Turks, still anxious to keep their grail' at home, insisted on an export duty of 12 per cent., which only had the effect of impeding the industry of some of the finest grain-producing land in the world. The new treaty, which will come into effect on the Ist of March, 1862, at once reduces the duty on all exports to 8 per cent., which is to be further reduced 1 per cent. every year till it finally emcee. To make up what loss this may occasion to the revenue, the duty on imports, which was formerly five per cent., is to be raised to eight." A Constantinople letter nays :—" We have sus tained a loos by the death of Mr. Wroth, the Vice• Consul Mans:olW of our Supreme Consular Court here. Me died at Behek on Saturday, the 26th of October, after a short illness, and was buried in the English cemetery at Scutari cc the following Moalay. Some 250 of the leading mem bers of the English, lonian, and Maltese colonies followed him to the grave, and throughout the entire community there is but one foaling of deep regret for his premature death." THE LATE LORD CHARLES BEAUCLERK. The obsequies of this lamented nobleman, who so nobly lost hie life at Scarborough in attempting to save those of others, took place at the Scarborough Cemetery on Friday morning, and were attended by his brothers, Lord Frederick and Lord George Beauclerk. Lord Charles was of a moat amiable and kind-hearted disposition, and was much liked by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was formerly a captain in the lit Royals, and, at his decease, a major in the Northumberland Militia. He pa ssaged oonsiderable mechanical genies, and several patents of merit bear his name. It is remarkable that although nine generations have passed away, Lord Charles bore a striking resemblance to Vandyke's celebrated portrait of Charles I. He possessed a most genial but had the same melancholy east of countenance, features, sod complexion. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution have promptly sent a new lifeboat which was tried on Mon ' day in Scarborough Bay, They have behaved with liberality to the bereaved families of the fishermen, and have pre sented memorial silver medals to the !..e.reaved families of Lord Charles, Mr. Tindall, and Mr. Mies. it is worthy of record that Lord Charles was not the first of his family who thus distinguished himself. Lord Frederick, his elder brother and heir presumptive to the Duke of St. Albans, some .years ago jumped overboard in Kingstown Bar bour, on a bitter November night, and at the im minent risk of his life, succeeding in saving the life of a poor woman, for which most cool and gallant act a silver medal was presented to him. The Queen can scarcely confer any higher distinction, for without the stimu lant of the field of battle it is a record, not merely of the highest order of courage, but also of humanity. We re gret to state that the bodies of Mr. Tindall, Burton, and Kies have not yet been found. Milli A BIOLDMIE LUTE BMW& A RDROSIIIS PoRTIVOG .• • • GUMMI GALWAY ..

THE FRENCH STEAMERS.-112 reference to what we have said in our two last numbers of the Emperor Napoleon's design to rival as in oar commercial steam nevi gatson, we hear that he has eight steamers of 3,200 tons each building or to be built on this side of the Channel for the West ludia service, the individual cost of which is to be 1134,W. H., with 12,0C3/. additional for furnishing. The steamers for the East are said to be of 4,C30 tons each, and to cost ISO,OL.W. There is also to be a line of larger ships than those for the West Indies to go to North Ameriec. We wonder whether the 40,000,00 W, deficit of his Imperial Majesty will act as any bar to his steam navigation enter prises.—Heranoth. ANOTHER CRINOLINE ACCIDENT. —Bet ween 5 and 6 o'clock lest evening the inhabitants of Park etreet and Dartmouth-street, Westminster, were alarmed by loud screams, and on rushing to their doors were horror struck at beholding a young woman enveloped in &Mee. A crowd immediately collected, and emend persons tore off the burping fragments of her dresa, and after some time, by means of coats and rugs, the flumes were extiugushed. though not until her clothes hail been burnt off to the bodice. She was conveyed iu a cab to the Westminster Hospital, when it was ascertained she was so dreadfuily burnt all over the body. especially in the lower eztremities, that but alight hopes are entertained of her recovery. The unfortunate sufferer was a domestic servant of Dr. Allen, readiug at 5.1, Dartmouth-street, and had been preparing dinner, when her crinoline caught fire, and in her terror she immediately noshed into the street. A YOUNG LADY BURNED TO DEATH. —Miss Mar. poet E. Collis, the eldest daughter of Stephen E. Collis, Esq., a magistrate of the county of Kerry, has met her death under the following melancholy circumstances :—lt appears that this young lady, who wait staying at Mount Trenchant, the residence of Lord Munteagle. retired to rest at the usual hour. When she got to her room she placed the candle ou the toilet table, which was in the recess of the window, and stretched out her hand amens the table to close the window curtain. Her sleeve caught fire front the candle ; she eudeavoured to raise the carpet, that she might extinguish the flames by rolling herself in it. hut finding it uailed down she rushed out of the room, calling for help. Mr. Spring Rice, who was in an adjoining rooms came to her a.ssistarice and found her a 1111434.1 of flame. With the aid of some of the other members of the family. after considerable exertions, be succeeded in putting out the fire, but not until the injuries she received were so seri ous as to cause her death. She lingered in great agony fur some days, when death put an end to her sufferings. SELF-CAUGHT ROGUES. —Ou Thuivlay a gang of convicts were employed at the Royal Clarence yard, Gosport, carrying wale to the engine•houss, when one of them divided a piece of cake be had beconie mysteriously pommeled of, and which was quickly swallowed with infinite gusto by the trio. These pleasurable sensations were, haw ever, soon succeeded by others of an opposite character, cod the cake-eaters were seized with violent vomit lug soul other alarming symptoms, which eventually led to a confession, to the effect that the piece of cake had been purloined from the pocket of Mr. Bushnell, the engineer. That gentleman, on learning the cireumstanee, found, indeed, that a piece of sake which he had placed in his coat.pocket was gone, but declared that it had been made in a peculiar emptier to ,le 'troy rats, and that one of its chief ingredients was arsenic. The repenters,* of the trio was now as complete and sincere as their sufferings, but their critical state necessitated their immediate removal to the infirmary of the convict prison et Portsmouth, where the usual unpleasant remedies requi site in such eases were administered to and received by the penitents with the greatest patience. Yesterday they were still suffering somewhat severely, but were pronounced oat l of danger. GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES. CAISTOR, NEAR YARMOUTH, FRIDAY. Last night the Caistor lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat institution, was launched to the moue of the crew of the brig Lively, of Clay, Norfolk, which was observed on the north part of the Scroby Sands, burning • tar barrel. It wu blowing aheavy gale from the N.W., with sleet. Thegreatest difficulty was experienced in launch ing the lifeboat, as the sweep on the beach was tremendous, many of the noble men who misted to launch the boat during the fearful night being rolled away by the sea twenty yards from the boat. However, the launching of the lifeboat was ultimately accomplished; but on sp preaching the sands, nothing could be seen of the wreck. After toiling bard all night, just before day thenthe lifeboat proceeded towards the light vessel, and discovered the wreck to the eastward. Here the huge warm were bursting with terrific force —hut they must be faced. The lifeboat plunged through them. The da.pairing mariners, who had given themselves up for lost ! during the fearful night, were ultimately reached. At this time a steam.tog came up to the assistance of the lifeboat, With its help the despairing crew of five men and their vessel were rescued from their perilous situation. The lifeboat's crew, consisting of fifteen men, state that this was one of the most dangerous services ever performed by them —that nothing could have induced them to remain out that dreadful night, except the hope of sucoouriug their drown ing fellow creatures. In this ease the lifeboat crew will re ceive salvage of property, in addition to a reward from the Lifeboat Institution. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) BATISIDAY, NOVIIIOIIIII 1.4 8 A.M.
