A !.ate edition of the E.rpreas i. publishol every ermu•.4 dorinl the racing season, containing the teeult■ of thu dar's races. THE brief but explicit reply of Lord Runsin.r. to the- sir.mestion made on behalf of British claimants for restitution from Mexico, that we should actively irterposo to secure the formation of a string Government in that country, will allay any uneappreliension that may have existed as to the course meant to be taken in con junction with tbo Governments of France and Spain. No delusive hope is held out by the NE. RETALT for Foitetiot A►►anei of a more per manent or powerful administration being speedily establishes] in that distracted country ; but the responsibility of attempting to bring domestic troubles c•. 1111 end by the i••terposition of foreign arms is plainly and peremptorily repudiated as wholly If ships of war are about to anchor before Ye-a Cruz and Tampico, and if their commanders should take measures to vicure, if ne crony), ',oil/session of the custom-houses, quays, and shames of these cities, it is not with any ultimate ' , ensue of political interference in the d tic concerns of the Spanish-American commouwealth, or with any intention of being provoked or betrayed into political movements there. It is simply and solely to levy execution upon an international judgment, confessed Ity the defaulting State at the close of a protracted but amicable discussion, and over and over again re cognised iit tle most distinct and emphatic terms as lawful and right. A greater -mistake cannot well be made than that which some people seem to have fallen into, of supposing that the joint expedition of the Three European Powers to the coast of 3ilexico is undertaken, as is said, to collect the debts due to their subjects in their individual character as bondholders, or general creditors of the Republic. Nothing can be lees like the truth. The expedition it is proposed to sod out will go forth to elect the long eluded fulfilment of conventions solemnly entered into by successive adminia trations on the part of Mexico from the year 1851 to 1860, each and ell having the same object in view, and each and all o 7 them specificilly asstring over certain definite pro portions of the customs revenue of the principal seaports of the Gulf, for payment of certain sped tied amounts admitted to be legally due. The proportions of such customs, as appears by refe rence to these diplomatic engagements, have been increased indeed from time to tine, partly in con sequence of the deplorable accumulation of inju ries and losses sustained by European subjects in the country at the hands of per.ons authorised or abetted by there in authority, sod pat' 'y by rea son of the reiterated default made in the worm et payment, and the actual seizure and re-appropria tion on more than one occasion of large sums levied as customs, or from other sources assigned for payment of the instalments admitted to be due. In one instance a sum of 400,000 dollars in specie, on its way from Potosi to the office of the agent for the English creditor', was taken by force under the order of General DZOOLLAIX), on the plm of its being necessary for the pay of his troops ; and, in a still more recent case, 660,000 dollars were at-tracted by violence from a aaa'ed and locked chamber of the BtAish Lege. ton in the city of Marjo*, by command of (ieneral Masques, the English Consul and the Spanish Minister vainly pro' c Mg against the shameless outrage. Year after year the cup of indignities and wrongs has been filling higher and higher, till at last it has reached the brim. Ye: even then the Government of England has slows iyslf unwali-ig to resoi to extremity ; aid so ht:e es the 12th of January Nat, Mr. MATHEW, the English Envoy, was authorised in a despatch from Lord Roseau. to recognise the Presidency of Juanita, and to offer th•e morel sup port of Great Britain, on condition of any reason able guarantee being given that the oft-broken conventions would be at Mat fulfilled, and the recently stolen property above rererred to re stored. The requisite promises were forthwith made, sod, u a mater of coons, they were in due time set at nought. The Government of JUAILZI, though perhaps incapable of the open brigandage that characterised that of Mauston, has proved itself equally destitute of ptinciple where money is concerned. It availed itsel" gladly of the recognition afforded it by is ; but under the first severe pecuniary pressure it has not scrupled to break faith by poising suddenly and secretly a law which postpones the payments under the conventions 'or two years more. I. is clear that these violations of honesty and good faith are not mere repudiations of debt to private individuals, but are direct and open infri :time of international engagements. It is as such that they are now likely to be visited with the chastise ment they deserve ; but it is the minimum of pushy that we are disposed to inff:ct : we nation ally disclaim all thought of vengeance on the mix • table country whose mitdortune it is to be thus misguided and tuirovei.ied, but we have duties which we WOO to ourselves ss a nation, and we cannot with impunity or propriety afford to neglect them The series of cruelties and insults inflicted from time to time upon our countrymen resident different parts of Mexico is perhaps without ex ample vi the luetoryof so-called civilised oammun;- ties. Let it be borne in mind, however, that not for any or all of throe has our Government been stung into a quarrel with the helpless and headless community whose chiefs have perpetrated such crimes. With exemplary patience we have persevered in remonstrance and reproof, eschewing the language of retaliation, and con tenting ourselves with trying to obtain reasonable oomnenniti..ii for the injuries sustained, and tardy payment of dehts which, in their original form of puldic contracta with private persons, we never 1 r THE WRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 186 L intended to enforce. But when wilififiedeli consent of almost every administratk‘ that has held successive sway in Mexico for the last ten Years, these claims have been publicly eatablihed and made the subject of international stipulations", it is ton late to debate whether or not they are to be enforced by national power and as a matter of national right. Magnanimity well becomes a' great and mighty empire in dealing with an min poverishA and distracted sta.e ; but it will hardly be asserted by our most envious critics that in the present case we have been wanting therein. On the other hand, the most forbearing and lenient will confess tha*:, there must be !baits to the endurance of indignity, and that we cannot afford to allow the seal and flag of England to be not merely trifled with but trampled in the dust. If any other or better way could be pointed out for levying the long arrear of debts and compensations' which the Mexican Government has pledged itself, and deliberately mortgaged certain portions of its revenue to pay, we should be probably content with it. We cannot, however, see what less we c.ui do than to insist upon becoming mortgagee in possession until the admitted oblige. dons shall have been paid. It is not the in terest of England that Mexico should be still further weakened or embarrassed. While yet in its infancy u a state England led the way in acknowledging its independence. Volunteers from this country fought in the ranks of emancipation ; and to aid the completion of its escape from Spanish bondage, 12,000,000/. of English money was subscribed as a loan on no usurious terms. During the six-and-thirty years that have since elapsed Great Britain has acted the part of a dis interested and constant ally—with how little en couragement and how little gratitude wo need not say. One thing, however, the rulers of this country will not do—they will not be beguiled or betrayed into the foolish and unfriendly office of seeki-,g to set up what in their opinior, and what in point of fact might be in a certain sense a stronger and a better Governn•eut than that which the people of the country seem to know how to establish. Nothing could come of such an attempt but eventual failure. It is the business of a nation, a+ it is of a man, to work out its own salvation, even though it be with fear and trembling. Elle eroun.

The meeting of the Italian parliament is fixed for the lllth of next month. The session is ex pected to be a long and laborious one, as the &deli nistrative, and, above all, the financial organisation of Italy, will have to be definitively settled. EiStSS FROM PAR'S. (nom owl Owl/ PARIS, WEDICEMDAY EVILVI!4Ii. The impreesion in political circles to-day is that the Compiegne visit has not been productive et any important remit. The recognition of Italy by Prussia is not, I fear, advanced a peg, and the Italian envoy will be present at the King's coro nation only as the representative of Victor Em manuel. The Compiegne special correspondents, after in numerable disappointments during the court festi vities, were, it appears, able to nee something of the farewell scene between the sovereigns. Moro than ono of them recounts, in the character of an ear witness, that as the Emperor and the King shook hands at the door of the railway carriage, Napoleon 111. said, " I am sorry you could not stay with me longer ;" and that King William's last words, as his foot was on the step, were, "Kiss your son for me." Another detail which the correspondents note is that whereas when the Emperor met the King at the station on his arrival they spoke German, but that at the departure French was the language used. The Emperor speaks both tongues equally well, but the King of Prussia has a slight German accent in spearing French, more especially when he says merely a word or two and has no.; time to listen to the sound of his own voice. There is very material discrepancy in the accounts of the respective bags at the battue. A correspondent of the Petrie says the Emperor killed 103 head of game and the King 101 ; but another account, adopted by Gang/wed, gives the figures as 105 for the Emperor and 107 for the King. I strongly incline to the latter statement, for it is difficult to believe that the Emperor would have allowed himself to kill more game than his royal guest. If these de tails should appearto you trivial, 1 can were you that they are carefully selected as the most impor tant among a mass of others infinitely less interest ing. I can find nothing more to report touching the visit of the King of Prussia. We are now expecting immediately the visit of another sovereign—the King of Holland. I know not why, the Muniteler announces his arrival on the 12:6, in phraseology implying some degree of doubt. It is considered important that the King of Holland will see the King of the Belgians on his way to France. Some say the interview aP I take plaoe at a railway station in Belgium. The Echo du Parlernent of Brussels says on this subject : We have hard • piece of news which will be received with satidaction throughout the whole couotiy. It restated positively that the King of Holland will come and pay • visit to the King of the Belgians. The i-iteti:ew of the two sovereigns will take place in a provincial toe a, wl“ch is not yet defiaitely decided on, bat which, it is thought, will be Liege. This fact, should it be realised, will put the last seal on the frieodly relations of the two governments and of the two nations, and will be equally approved of on both sides of the Mosietlyk. The Bourse was better, iu consequence of a rumour that the Bank of England would oome forward to the extent of 50 millions to assist the Bank of Franco. Route rose 10c. for cash and 15c. for account, closing at 68fr. 15c. and 68fr. 35e. Mobilier rose 3fr. 75c.; the Italian Loan, 10fr. Railways were from 2fr. 500. to Mr. higher. Pe.6 3 ,4p4L OF 741kE LATE LW:IP-LIEUTENANT OP MONMOUTHSHIRE. On. Tuesday (says a local print) Pontypool was veiled in gloom. The saddest day of its history, the most mourefel era it had ever keown, was the day on which Capel Banbury Leigh damended to the tomb of his fathers. All the shops in the town were closed, business was en tirely suspended : the whole district was sad and silent. It was like the solemnity of a sablath. At twelve o'clock the mortal remains of the friend of the poor, the father of the place, were to be borne to their but earthly home. Among the thousands who assembled, there could only be observed sad faces and tear-filled eyes. The tenants, servants, sod tradespeople of the neighbour hood met at the Pontymoile lon, at 11 o'clock, after which they marched to the park. The Hanbury, Pootymoile, sod other rale corps were present, commanded by Major Rooney. The body, us usual, was placed in a shell, next to which was a lead, atd then came the oak oulllo. There were eight plates on thecottio—three each aide, end one each cud. The crest and armorial beatings of the family were inscribed on the plates, awl on the breastplate was a plain inscrip tion of the name of the deceased, and the date of his death. The mournful procession was beaded by 144 tenants and workmen of the deceased, four abreast, and these were fol lowed by nine mourning roaches, each drawn be four horses, containing friend.; of the deceased. The volunteers lined the road from the park to Trevethin church, and the band played the Dead March while the procession was passing. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lhindlaff, and the Rev. Thomas Davies, incumbent of Trevetbie, performed the bet:al service,after which the mortal remains of the deceased gentleman were deposited iu their last resting place. After the mournful torentony was over the immense multi tudes that had gathered together gradually dispersed, and Trevethia church once more presented its usual appearance. SPAIN. The Spanish Government is actively preparing for sea the naval force that is to act on the coast of , Mexico, in conjunction with the English and French squadrons. The Spanish force will consist of four screw frigates, the two newly-built ships of war— the Lealdwl and the Concepcion, of two large steamers, and six other vessels of lighter draught. The squadron will be commanded by Vice. Admiral Rubalcaba, as senior officer in the Antilles. The number of troops to he disembarked in Mexico is about 8,003, of whom 3,0J0 will be sent from Cuba. The government has left to General Serrano the nomination of the commander of the Cuban con tingent. The expedition is expected to sail from the Spanish ports towards the end of the present month. (aserrsit's TELoosa ma.) THE "MONITEUR" ON THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S VISIT. PAWS, Ocr. 10. The .ifursi:••or, in its bullatin of today, says : "The visit of the King of Prussia, which has given rise to so many commentaries, cannot but exercise a happy influence on the relation's of the two govero men ts. "Everything leads it to be presumed that it has left au impression equally favourable in the minds of both sovereigns." ROME, OCT. 9.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. PESTI!, Ocr. 10. The majority of the members of the provincial government of Transylvania have determined not to publish the edict for the convocation of the Transylvanian Diet, on the ground that the laws of the country confer on them the ri•lht of protesting against all illegal demands, and that a separate Transylvanian Diet woukl be opposed to the union of Transylvania with Hungary. Count Maylath will henoe:orth renounce all pir tic4pation in the admMistrat;ve affairs of Huipmry. The news published by the French journals in reference to certain resolutions adoptel at a con ference of Htinarian leaders and re:upes at Genoa is without any foundation. No deputies were rent to any such corference. VIEN OcT. 9. The deputation with the address of the Croatian Diet was received to-day by the Emperor, whose reply was almost verbally the same as that which he gave to the Hungarian Diet. His Majesty said he would consider the claims of the Croatian; and efterwards give his decision. The Archduke Charles Louis, brother of the Emperor of Austria, will represent his.lmperir.l Majesty at the coronation of the King of Prussia at Konigsberg. DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF CHINA.

The lecture will COM• mince at 8 o'clock. and the subject will be "The Life and Times of Count Carew." THE BISHOP OF LINCOLN S VISITATION. The Bishop of Lincoln has commenced his trien nial visitation, begiuning of course at his cathedral city, where the attendance of his clergy was very large. The right rev, prolate s charge is very long, and it touches upon a great variety of topics. With regard to church rates, his lordship observed that the duestion now stood on intelligible gr o unds. !tw o s no longer a emand made by an organised minority, who had persuaded the country that they were • majority, to be released from payments to which conscientious objections were made. It was avowedly the first great step towards the secularisation of the entlowmente of the church of England. It was the duty of every churchman, however anxious for peace and to forego the rate rather than prolong the contest, to take care not to assent to any compromise which, whilst it conceded the principle of the establishment, would fail to conciliate its assailants. To any measure that would satisfy the ob jectors without weakening the bade of the national church they would willingly assent, Re did not see what consci entious objections could be entertained to church rates which might not be urged against any other tax the paymeut of which was agreed to by the majority. To grant exemption on the ground of personal objection would be to concede • principle which would render constitutional government impossible. Referring to the " Essays and Reviews," his lordship said, the history of opinion was a hi s tory o f reactions ; and showed that the volume in question was a symptom rather than a cause of a great reaction in the public mind from the overstrained teaching of the tractarian movement. He bore testimony to much good that had been effected by that moverreut io bringing back into prominence our privileges and duties as members of Christ's mystical body, the Church • in teaching more widely the signiti -011300 and value of the sacraments; in fixing the eye and grasp of faith more on the objective facts of reve lation ; and in putting distinctly forth the cardi nal troths of the Trinity, the Incarnation, and the Atonement, and shedding on them • flood of light from the previously neglected stores o: Patristic theology. But he condemned, in emphatic terms, the tendency of the same school not only to carry ritualism into formality or superstition, and to. overlay the essential verities of justification conversion, and personal sanctifica tion, by an exaggerated sacramental system and human mediation, but also to substitute authority for evidence ; to check the exercise, and almost to deny the right, of pri vate judgment: to repress rationalism by chiding mason into silence before the decisions of the church, usher than by treeing out the bounds of reason's domain ; to encourage credulity rather than to elevate faith; and to lead men to think that to believe because they were told, was a higher virtue than to believe because they were convinced. He then showed how this substitution of credulity for reason and of authority for evidence was at once preparing for, and inviting, • terrible reaction • and bow the destructive scepticism which had resulted from the metaphysics of Germany, combining with the ebb of opinion and the receding tide of the previous move. meat, by exalting the subjective above the objective, and making the thinking self the measure of truth and false hood, set intuitions above revelation, and the verifying faculty of the individual man above authority, testimony, and all the evidence of history. Faith overstrained has relaxed into doubt ; and we have around us a spreadieg scepticism arising from • habit of mind which rejects the law of evidence, and accepts as sufficient proof or disproof its own prepossessions and sentiments, and its own coecep tions of truth and falsehood, et: right and w . rong. While acknowledging the cause for anxiety which existe his lord ship concluded by denying that there was any reel ground of alarm. He pointed out that there never was • time when the church was free from danger, and Cluistiaoity without its special though evervarying triads ; and he ex horted the clergy to prayer, to fid elity, to earnest study of the Holy Scriptures, and of the too much neglected die Mes of our own church ; and to a faithful inculcation among their flocks of the great and distinctive truths of the I im pel, avoiding on the one hand concession or compromise of any revealed verity, and on the other all overstatements and unsupported systems of doctrine.

The ease was proved by Policeman Wilkinson, who stated that there was not one weight on the premises in proper order. Bamford said that the scales bad been examined every fortnight at the old premises. but this , duty bed been somewhat neglected since they entered the new premises. The weight. had all hessn adjusted in May.

THE BILSTON MURDER. C'ONFESSION OF BONE OF THE ACCUSED. (IRON OUR CORYIESPONDILIM. BILSTOX, EDNE, IPA V. This morning the public examination of the prisoners before the magistrates, commenced at half•peatone. l;reat excitement continues to prevail in the town, and lath within and without the petty sessions court there was a great crowd of persons. The inquiry bad been adjourned till ten in the morning ; but considerably before that hour the magistrates named as sembled, and were engaged till one o'clock in hearing • codes skin from Maddocks, and it is understood that three other of the accused were with him before their worships. These were reported to be Bills, Webb, and Lilley. Maddock. was the spokesman, and his statement occupies 18 brig( sheets. This statement the bench decline to give to the proms until after it comes out in evidence in public court It will so transpire they say on Friday next, to which day the proceedings were to be adjourned at, the close of the in quiry today. The substance of the statement is under stood to be that Mulligban and Brandrick only en. tared the deceased's house ; that he (Maddocks) watched the house for them, sod that the other four prisoners had nothing to do with the affair. If this be the purport of the confession, it must be taken only for what it is worth, as it dote not tally with the statemeete of sonic of the witnesses, and contradicts the statement that there were three mee upon the premises on the night of the murder, of which, however, there is unmistakeable evidence. . . . The same witnesses wbo were examined before the coroner wore being examined by the magistrates, when, at about half-mud 3, Mr. Shelton, solicitor, said he appeared to defend Mad. docks, who had just informed him that he had made a state. meat to the bench in private, but if he had known that a solicitor was engaged to defend him he should not have made that statement. Now he (Mr. Sheldon) was so as. gaged, and could not defend bim unless be saw the state. meat. It was further necessary that be should see the statement, because although he had applied for, yet he had been refused, permission to see his client. Every obstacle had been placed in his way. fie had been kept outside the court, and had bad to jump a wall to ',et into the court. Mr. Claydon, barrister, sad Mr. Bartlett, solicitor, were also engaged with him in the defence of one or other of the prisoners, and they too had been refused permission to see their clients. Mr. Bartlett—lt is a matter of the verygraveat importance and of the greatest impropriety. Mr. 13agnall— At what time did you apply? Mr. Bartlett—At about 11 o'clock. -Mr. Bagnall—You could not see him (Bills), then. Mr. Bartlett—We make no imputation upon the magi,. totes ; but the restrictions of the police were not becoming. It was very wroo; of Colonel Hon. Mr. Claydon joined in censuring the police for their sot allowing the prisoners to be seen. If his client had a state ment made behind his tack by which ho was affected, be ought to hear it ; and Mr. Sheldon was justified in making the application for the statement. The prisorer Maddock, bad at his own request been takes out of the court just before Mr. Sheldon commenced to make his applitotwn. The magistrates retired to consider what reply they would give to Mr. Sheldon. As they were leaving, Mr. Bartlett desired them toPseer in mind that this was a matter of life or death, as affecting the prisoners. The magistrates remarked that the observation was sa. partitions. Some time afterwards Mr. Sheldon was called out into the magistrates' retiring room where he was shows a statement that Maddock, bad just made. In that second statement he alleged that Mr. Sheldon had spoken to him in the dock, and recommended him to deny the accuracy of the brat statement. Maddocks in the second statement added that he bad not employed Mr. Sheldon as his soli citor, not didlse wish Mr. Sheldon to defend him. . Mr. Squall drew Mr. Sheldon. attention to this state. wont. Mr. Sheldon denied that he had given the prisoner any such improper advice • said ho only informed him that he was employed to defend him ; and that,'understanding he had made • statement, he wished to know what it was. Tbo policemen must have heard the conversation, and lie appealed to the magistrates to decide which of the two, Winton et. Maddock', woe the more win thy of belief. The Magi mica said that the prisoner denied having em ployed him (Mr. Sheldon) to defend, or that he wished him to defend him, and they must therefore decline to let Mr. Sheldon see the statement which in due course would come ou,in evidence. Their eorships then returned iota open court, and the takingatAte evidence was resumed. AC7 o'clock tha proceed'og7Were adjourned until the Friday titter the inquel. It is anderstood that, excepting Jones, Braodrick, and Jetta, ell the prisoners were with Maddocks when he made the statement to the ma;istrates, and that his state ment Au to lengthy as to occupy ci3hteen sheets of brief Pa Cilm the prooacdinp all the primaers but If ellighan, who were not defended, put questions to the witnesses. He, however, contirued in a moody humour ; and Lilley had evidently lost much of his former oourage. A public moetiug was held in the school-room of the parish church on Tuesday evening, the chairman of the Township commissionen presiding, to consider what daps were necewary to provide for the safety of the township during the winter. The Rev. H. S. Fletcher, county magis trate, recommended an adjournment until the inquest had been dosed, stating that the police authorities regarded the meeting as an unfriendly proceeding. It was, however, considered urgent that something should be done. The meeting proceeded, but it was stated that the Town Com m' on whose requisition the meeting had been called, so intention whatever to reflect ou the police. It wa• stated that Marlton contained nearly 30,000 inhabit an :a, kmong whom were 200 k nown thieves, and that the only wa:eti during :Frit was composed of five policemen and three watchmen by pi ivate individuals. The publiclamiis, too, *ere ligh only from six in the evening until shortly after two in the morning, although this was contrary to the terms of the commisaionere contract with the gas company, who had undertaken to keep the lamps lighted ten hours. How, it was asked, under these circumstances could life and property be properly protected? A committee was formed to take into consideration the amount of the force maintained for the protection of the town, the MOMS available for the suppression of houses where bad characters notoriously congregated, and the con vict system, "which continually poured into the town a stream of convicted criminals. The meeting ni -1 commended the committee also to consider the propriety of establishing a voluntary patrol of inhabitants ; and to report to a public meeting to be held oo Tuesday evening next. It was explained that no system was at present in existence in the town under which the police were empowered to inspect lodging-houses and brothels, and Mr. Fletcher, whilst eulogising the efforts of the police with reference to the late lamentable occurrence, said that the apprehension of the supposed perpetrators hinged on Police-superin tendent Were' having set a police constable to watch a Ins pected person. A great feeling of insecurity at present per. sides the mind of the inhabitants. BRUTAL ASSAULT AT BRISTOL—On MemLay night the inhabitants of Temple-street were thrown into a state of great alarm, by the report that a young woman had bin° almost murdered by her master's son.
