SYDNEY Tunica', the Inspector ap- pointed to visit the Cer:lfied Reformatory Schools of Great Britain, has just presented his Fourth Annual Report. Like those of the last three years, it is a record of sustained and decided pro gress towards the chief end for which these insti tutions have been called into existence—the dimi nution in the amount of juvenile crime. We learn from it that the number of offenders com mitted to prison in England and Wales, under the age of sixteen, in the year ending Michaelmas, 1860, was 8,029 ; being nearly 900 fewer than in the year preceding, when it was 8,913. Corresponding with this diminu tion is a decrease of crime among the older clam of offenders, the number of whom fell in the same period from 98,159 to 92,585. A strong light is cast upon the steadily progressive character of this improvement by the following statistics, which we take from a table in Mr. TURNER'S Report. The first set of figures shows the number of commitments of offenders under 16 years of age in England and Wales through a series of five years : 18.18. 1837. 1838. 1850. 1860. Hoye . 11,)8$ 10,822 8,667 7,562 6,756 2,173 1,672 1,412 1,331 1,254 13,981 12,501 10,329 8,913 8,029 The returns of committed offenders above 16 years of age aro as follow : 1866. 1867. 18:16. 1860. 1850. Males 510,206 80, 2 255 76,019 611.275 63,719 Females . 30,549 32,067 31,814 29,084 28,866 *755 112,V2 1W,11121 *l5O 92,506 There figures, taken in their simplest and most obvious signification, are highly satisfactory ; they become more so when contemplated in one or two relations which Mr. TURNER elucidates.. If we look at these returns in connexion with the increase of population, which acts alike on all clams% the just and unjust, we shall find in Ragland and Wales a decrease of juvenile deli!). gummy of nearly 49 per cent., and of adult crime of above 12 per cent., in the five years ending September 29, 1860. But we have further to take two sets of facts into the account. In the first place, the reduction of commitments has been brought about in the face of causes powerfully working together to increase their number. In the last five years the police force throughout the coun try has been increased, extended, and generally rendered more effective for the detection and rion-, victim of crime. Then, again, the effect of the ope ration of the Criminal Justice Act—underwhinh re gular offenders, on pleading guilty and submitting to a summary conviction, followed by a short terra of imprisonment, have escaped penal servitude or transportation--haa been to return into the bosom of the home community a considerable number of persons who, a few years ago, would have either been eliminated from it altogether or kept in close confinement for a lengthened period. Secondly, the decrease of adult crime, manifest in the years 1859-1860, and following upon a marked increase in the years 1857-1858, showed itself exactly at the date when the falling off in the amount of juvenile offences had had time to bear upon the supply of the older classes of criminals. A system of remedial agencies which proves itself thus successful, should, according to a natu ral anticipation, limit, and in the end obliterate its own field ; become in the same moment victorious and superfluous, and so disappear. This, however, is not likely to be the fate of Reformatory Schools just at present. It seems strange, but the factisthera sere Dearly 500 more children and young people loader detention in the certified reformatories of Great Britain on the last day of 1860 than on tho laid day at 1869, the numbers being 3,222, and 3,712 respectively. Mr. 'Nexus feels that the anomaly of an increase of young criminals sent to reformatories concurring with a diminut'on of juve nile crime Deeds examination, and he calls atten tion to its cause as one " bearing vitally on the " cost and value of the Reformatory School Nye " tem." His tables show that of the children ad mitted into reformatories last year two-sevenths were under twelve years old, and four-sevenths were received on a first conviction, not having been in prison before. Instead of seeing our re fonnatories become tenantless we shall have to enlarge and multiply them if children so young and relatively innocent are to be freely sent there. Mr. TUtitilt fears that under the growing practice of treating them as places for the prevention of poisible rather than tho cure of positive evils, the expenditure on them will grow up so rapidly ea to prejudice the cause of these institutions vri.h the public. Besides which he rightly questions the justice or moral expediency of mixing together in the same school the half *.rained child who has pil fered halfpence or stolen sweets, with the astute young thief for whom systematic depredations have been a chosen means of livelihood. The first of these considerations is for the states- Juan ; but the second is one which commit ting magistrates are bound to weigh maturely. The committees of the institutions also have it in their power to check the evil by declining to admit children whose tender age or criminal status render. them unsuitable as objects of discipline. We are informed that the Committee of the Castle Howard Reformatory act on this ruls, which hoe also the approbation of Mr. Baawics Baum, Mr. OaatrsrT, Mr. LATHAN, and other well. known promoters of the Reformatory system. In the following paragraph Mr. Tv11241.11 SUMS up his THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1861. ',commendations on this important and urgent question : " If in fact the three rules could but be followed "out, that no boy should be committed to a re " lormatory on a fire! conviction, unless an orphan "of whom the parish authorities could not, or " could not be required to, take charge ; that " every boy convicted for the second (or at least " for the third) time should be committed to a " reformatory for four or at least not less than " three years; and that the parent of any child so "committed should ;ii r rer,r our be adjudged to "pay some contribution, hower, r small, towards the " child's maintenance (unless a widow, or disabled " by disease or injury from work), I confidently " believe that not only would the number of com mitments to prison be diminished still more " largely than they have been, but the number of " commitments to reformatories would be also " materially lessened, and the community would " reap the full benefit of the moral and econo " mical saving by which the reformatory system! " ought natura:ly to be attended." We have thus far seen the operation of refor matories in purging the community. But it is an interesting inquiry what has been the effect of the system on its immediate material, the inmates themselves, and to what extent they have been re claimed ? Mr. TURNER has taken many pains to collect and discriminate evidence on this point, and gives as the result that of rather more than 1,000 boys discharged in England previously to December 31, 1859, above 600 are known to be doir.g well, not quite 120 have been again con victed, about 100 more have doubtful characters, and about 180 have passed beyond the reach of inquiry. As about 100 of the whole number ab wended from the schools at the earlier stage of their probation, it appears that about two-thirds have undergone the discipline of the schools, and been restored to honest life. With girls the experiment has not hitherto been attended with correspondent results, the pro portion known to be doing well being in England about 40, and in Scotland about 20 per cent. The majority of relapses into crime have taken place among those who on discharge have been returned to their friends and relatives, probably the very persons who had most to do with their original misconduct. To avoid this result full recourse to the powers given to managers by the last Refor matory Act is recommended. Under the 20 it 21 Vict., cap. .7,5, managers are empowered to place the boy or girl out on license for a year or more before his or her final discharge. This plan has been adopted with marked success at the Castle Howard and Itardwicke Reformatories. %nu Court. OSBORNE, Aucry!'

(1110 M On Owl. r.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVIIVG. All is still uncertain as to what the French go vernment means to do at Rome. It is of small consequence that the Dents says : The publication of this note must appear the indication of a very grave situation, and in our opinion it gives credit to the rumours which are again beginning to be current of an approaching modification in our relations with Rome. We do not yet even hear that M. de Merode is to be dismissed, and the demand of the French govern ment seems, according to the best information, to be now reduced to that very unimportant satisfac tion. The Conseitutionntl spins the following yarn, from which little is to be gathered : We cannot any longer, without a feeling of the deepest grief, turn our eyes towards Rome, and speak of the de testable intrigues which are at work in the capital of the catholic world. We yesterday published the recital, un fortunately too correct, of the disgraceful scene caused by Mgr. de Merode, and in which that ex-Belgian officer, now sheltering himself ander the venerated robe of a priest, did not hesitate to excite tithe utmost a general officer who is the very type of French honour and good faith—General de Goyon. One thing very evident, and which would be consolatory if it were not the indication of a state of affairs more and more abnormal and dangerous, is that it is not paellas to tionsidurthe Pope as responsible in any way whatever for the acts of Mgr. de Merode ; the papal chamberlain reigns and governs ; Cardinal Antaselli himself no longer stands except in the background, and with difficulty struggles against the powerful party which M supported by the majority of the Sacred College. And what a moment has Mgr. de Merode aroma to insult, at the same time, the Emperor and France? We hesitate to point it out ; we would wish to show consideration both to the majesty of the Holy See, whom we never confound vriilt blind and uosktlful counelltnre. nod the venerated person of the sovereign pontiff, who through so manycrael trials has only inspired a filial and pious sympathy. But, why be silent on a subject of which everyooe speaks ! A painful eventuality lately transpired ; the health of Pius IX. gave rise to serious unesidness, and now that those alarms have disappeared we have no longer to conceal the fact that a few weeks since it was necessary to foresee the possibility of the throne of St. Peter becoming vacant. Pius IX. himself, more occupied with the futons interests of the church than with his own situation, asked himself what at the critical moment would be the attitude of the powerful sovereign who, in spite of the injustice and calumnies of parties, is in fact the sole and disinterested support of the pond , heel throne. A few days after wards, the anxiety of the Pope was removed by the imperial govern ment, who sent to Rome assurances the best ad mitted to tranquillise the uneasy mind of his Holiness, as much for himself as for his successor, and both for the present and the future. They were thus understood, and doubtless the confidence which such precious assurances inspired in the mind of Piss IX. was not without influence in the establishment of his health. And it was immediately after this affecting episode, when the Emperor bad just given a fresh proof of his unalterable attachment to the inde pendence and dignity of the Holy See, that a minister of Pies IX. could be guilty of the conduct which we have just pointed out, and which will excite throughout Europe a unanimous feeling of indignation blended with the pity caused by the spectacle of such madness. But the Presse very justly says that it is labour lost on the part of the amstieutionuel to speak so well and conclude so badly. This journal denies altogether the theory that the Pope is a victim to M. de Merode, and affirms that he is not only re sponsible for his acts, but cognisant of and pleased with them. The Temps takes the same view, and expresses its fear that the French government is not acting in a way befitting the occasion. " The consequences of the conflict with M. de Merode are not likely to be what we are entitled to expect." It observes that the ultramontane journal, Le Monde, lauds the conduct of M. de Merode as worthy of the dignity of the Holy See, and that the Moniteur is silent. The Paya has a barren paragraph affirming that the conflict will terminate in a manner conducive to the "honour of France and the interest of the Holy See." Contrary to the assertion, at which the legitimist journals affected to be very irate, that the French fleet was coming away from the Syrian tout immediately, it is now stated that both the French and English fleets will stay there till the winter. The Bourse was firmer. Rente rose 20e. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 68fr. and 67fr. 90c. Mobilier rose Mr. Railways were generally from 2fr. 50e. to 6fr. higher. The case of M. Calley St. Paul stood for judg ment to-day at the Seventh Chamber of Correctional Police, but at the sitting of the court the president, without giving any reason, announced that the matter was postponed for another week. There is a rumour that things will be made pleasant. An evening paper, however, states that the indisposi tion of one of the judges is the reason of the post ponement of the judgment. The first part of a full report of the pleadings in this affair on the 11th, 18th, and 25th of July, which has hitherto been kept back by very high interest, appears in the Droit of this day. M. Cremieux will defend M. Mires on his appeal, but it is expected that the hearing will be ad journed from the 12th to the 19th. The Imperial Court of Amiens has this day given judgment in the great will ease of the Marquis de Villette. It will be remembered that the marquis left his very large landed property to the Bishop of Moulins, Mgr. de Drell: Brea, who is a member of an aristocratic family and closely allied with the legitimist party. The validity of the will was con tested by the crown on the ground that the bishop was in reality intended to be a trustee for the Count de Chambord, who, by a special statute, is incapable of taking property in France. The bishop solemnly pledged himself that he was not a trustee, and the Tribunal of the First Instance decided,contrary to the plead ing of the public minister, that there was no sufficient proof of the trust. But the telegraph now informs us that this decision has been reversed. The Appeal Court, admitting the good faith of the bishop, is of opinion that the testator meant him to be a trustee for the Count de Chambord, and that the devise is therefore void. It is further decided that a subsidiary devise to a M. Alfred de Montreuil, who produced evidence against the bishop in the hope of getting the estate for himself, is also void, as tainted with au illegal trust, and that the right heirs are entitled. The case is • most romantic and extraordinary one, arid • full report of the protracted pleadings would be as good as • novel. Many people think that the heirs, wbo all belong to great legitimist families, and who did not come forward in the first instance, but stated on appeal by their counsel that they were I moved to interfere by indignation at the treason able conduct of M. Alfred de Montreuil, will, after all, carry out the real intentions of the testator, and make over the property, or at least the value of it, to the Count de Chambord. The French government fears that the disposi tion to leave property to the heir of the old line of French kings may become epidemic among rich legitimists. The estate of Villette, which is near Chantilly, is one of the prettiest pro perties in France. Voltaire was • frequent guest of the late marquis's father, and it was made an argument by the counsel for the heirs that the marquis could never have thought of leaving to a bishop, for his own benefit, the numerous relies of the infidel Voltaire which are to be found in the chateau. The old marquis sent a poetical invite , lion to Voltaire in these terms : Isis si Ton n'y voit pas his bergers de l'Astrie Les diet': de Chantilly, 'ohm de eta hanseanx.

The deed bees were afterwards thrown into the boilers to extract the sugar they had appropriated.

The Clamor Public°, one of the moat respectable and liberal journals of Spain, has succumbed to the severe press law which now exists in that country. Condemned to pay a fine of 60,000 reeds and the costs of a prosecution, the publication of the journal has been suspended. The editor, Senor Corradi, announces the fact in the following dignified language The Tribunal of the Press having condemned as • crime the fundamental dogma of our political creed as to what concerns the legitimacy of public authorities, our dig nity and our convictions no longer permit us to continue our publication. Deprived of the liberty and the security requisite for the defence of that cause for which we have made so many sacrifices, we pre fer to cast aside our pea rather than submit to the yoke of • censor—a yoasg man without experience, sad without any antecedents in the struggles of the press and the tribune. Placed in the hard alternative either of writing in conformity with the will of the ministry, under the iron pressure of an inexorable law, made still more harsh by arbitrary interpretation, or of finally succumbing under the repeated strokes of condemnations and exorbitant fines, we have resolved to suspend our labour. We sustained for • lengthened period the unequal contest, and we have suc ceeded in tearing away the mask of liberalism which covered the faces of those men who told us that their mission was to regenerate the system of representative government in our country. We have fulfilled our duty. We break oar pee with honour, and no one can say that we have been unfaithful to those saving principles which have been the object of our worship. We will not accept directly or indirectly the responsibility of the serious events which the government is preparing by continuing in the ruinous course on which they have en tered. Public opinion and the future will do justice to our foresight and will sanction our conduct. The moment when the liberty of the press shall have been re-established in Spain we shall re-assume our pen with the faith, convio- Vona, and abnegation of which we have given so many proofs. Two other executions took plaoe on the morning of the 25th of July at Li)* The catholic jou-nal La Regeneration, after giving an account of the ex ecution of one man, says that "the other was pre paring to have his neck-tie tightened." Such is the pleasantry of these modern Marata. GARIBALDI AND THE PAPACY. Garibaldi has addressed the following letter to the Countess d'Ora d'lstria, ode Princess Ghika : Carrera, July 16. Madame—l have read with admiration and gratitude your charming letter ; it strengthens in me the opinion I have long entertained that (woman is called by Providence ' to play the first part in the emancipation of oppressed nationalities, and in the annihilation of despotism. Yea are right, madame ; the papacy r the moat horrible plague that my poor country is afflicted with; eighteen centuries of falsehood, persecution, and burning at the stake, in complicity with all the tyrants of Italy, rendered the plague incurable. At present as here tofore this vampire of the land of the llcipios supports its body, which' ia corrupted and eaten up by pastes', by means of discord, reaction, pillage, and civil war ; sad it affords • pretext for keeping permanently in Italy • foreign army which by its influence prevents • generous nation from constituting itself. Hungary is at the present mo ment in • very definite situating. The Hun. prise people, who on the field of Italian liberty have cemented their fraternal alliance with us, well deserve the co-operation of the nation of Pastern Europe, whom cause is ideation" with theirs. The Serene; Croats, and D 420666114 have ad hered to the national aspiration of the Maven. The Moldo- Wallachians ought to imitate that example, and I entertain the full conviction that you will exercise your high influence over your countrymen to draw closer the paternal ties which Pet henceforth to unite the autism races with the sister races of the matzo and west of Europe. When nations shall love each other and be in &mord, as required by the laws of Christ and of humanity, they will realise the dreams of h appen ses in which I have isdulpd at the epochs of my life. G.

GILEYS.-( THIS DAY) The neighbourhood of Newton-street, Holborn, abutting upon the end of New Oxford-strost, was throws into a state of great excitement this morning owing to • rumour, which turned out to be but too true, of a murder having been committed by a husband cutting hi e wife's throat, and then attempting his own life. At about three o'clock this morning police-constable Wakeham was on duty in Holborn, when he saw a man whom he had some previous knowledge of, named William Oogan, coming towards him covered with blood. He asked him what was the matter with him, when he tried to articulate something, but failing, lifted his right hand and drew it across his neck. The constable then lifted up hie head, and found that his throat was cut. He then askedhim who had done it, when he (Cogan) pointed to himself. Wake. ham then took bold of his arm, and led him to King's College Hospital, where he was at once admitted. On the way to the hospital, Wakeham, who knew him to be • married man, asked him where his wife was, when he again drew hie band across his neck, meaning that her throat was cut. He was next asked where she was, when he turned round and pointed in the direction of his home, and when asked who had cat her throat be pointed again to himself. Superintendent Durkin and Inspector Mackenzie, of the F division of polioe at Bow-street, were at once made ac quainted with the occurrence, when they proceeded to No. 4, Newton-street. On their entering the first floor front room • shocking sight presented itself. In about the middle of the room lay the wife, with her feet and legs lying along the Boor, and her head and the upper portion of her body resting on a couple of baskets. Her throat was cut from ear to ear, and as her head hung back the wound pre sented • shocking spectacle, the blood still oozing from it. On the floor just beneath her was a large pool of blood, and in the midst of it a razor was found with which the murder bad been committed. The room itself presented all the appearance of a comfortable home, and outside the two windows there is a large green board surrounded by little ornamental railings, and on which is a collection of ever. greats and flowers. From what could be gathered, it appears that the man Cogan and his wife attended the funeral yesterday of his godfather, after which, with five or six more friends, they returned to his place in Newton.street. Here they all sat down and had tea, after which they all went out tog*. ther. Cogan and his wife returned home rather late in the evening the worse for liquor, and be went up and threw himself on the bed. After lying for about a couple of hours he got up, missed a love. reign from his pocket, and accused his wife of taking it, which it is believed she strenuously denied. They had • quarrel together about the sovereign, when he left the room, and going downstairs, went to • lodging-house opposite, where, after conversing in an angry tone es regards his wife towards some penman there, he left and was seen to enter the Queen and Prince Albert public-house in Holborn. On the way to this house he was beard to say that he bad had quite enough of it, and that be would put an end to it that night or to. morrow. After remaining a short time in the public-house, and having bad something more to drink, he returned home, and it is supposed committed the dreadful act. When me, dicel aid was called in to the wife, she was pronounced to have been dead for some time. Cogan sod his wife, although they quarrelled at times, were considered by their neighbours to have lived very happily together. Cogan was in the habit of earning a good deal of money by going round with a horse sad cart and selling poultry. They had only one child, • boy aged 15, who is away from home. Information of the murder has been forwarded to the coroner, and the police are in possession of the place. Greet crowds assembled round the house from an early hour this morning. From inquiries made at the hospital, it appears that Cogan is at present going on favourably.

On every, hand we eee the indications whialt geottrally precede these gatherings in cathedral cities, sack as Hereford, Worcester, and Gloucester, in increased neat ness and cleanliness of the streets, the renovation and fresh painting of old, and In many instances the substitution of more modern, elegant, and appropriate facades to the prin cipal commercial establishments of our good old town,. In every respec t the movement is decidedly and nomistakeably "onward.

Advices from the Russian capital state that the articles which bad appeared in some of the German journals about an approaching alliance between Austria and Russia had caused great surprise In that city. A letter from the Russian capital relates the following : After divisor sissies at the Palace of Peterhoff, the Empe ror came up to Prince Gortchskoff, and, holding out his hand, said to him loud enough to be heard by everyone present:—" I was quite surprised, dear prince, to learn by the journals of the alliance of Russia with Austria, and your withdrawal from the department of foreign affairs. You really ought to have informed me of all that some what sooner !" " Sire," said the prince, "it was only • pilot balloon sent up to show how the wind blew." " and cue that has burst at once," said the Emperor—" a complete failure." RUSSIA AND CHINA. Accounts from St. Petersburg state that the Russians are highly satisfied with their commercial treaty with China. Another caravan lately left Kiakhta for Pekin. Moreover, one of the partners in the moat important firm of the town of Kin-Sin- Ti had arrived at Kiakhta to consult M. Starsova, a Russian merchant, on a visit which lie proposes to make to St. Petersburg, to open branch establish ments in that city. Re remained three days at Kiakhta, examining everything with great curiosit) and paying visits to different fami lies. This was tho first time a Chinese bad visited the town, but it is not doubted that the example would be followed. It is said that the merchants of Maims intend to convey their tea themselves to Russian markets and fairs, and if the Russian government should carry into effect its proposed reduction of the import duty on that article, the Chinese will no doubt bring large quan tities direct to Kiakhta. THE CAUCASUS. An insurrection is said to have broken out in the Caucasus. The Tscherkeases, who, since the surrender of Schatoyl, were supposed to have given up all idea of further opposition, have suddenly assumed the offensive, and beaten the Russians in three successive encounters. What tends to aggra vate this check is, that a regiment of Zaporogno Cossacks, attached to the army of the Caucasus, have shown marks of insubordination, and refused to serve against the Techerkess population.

A MAN NERIOCALY INJURED BY A MAD BULLOCK. —This morning an infuriated bullock, which bad been driven about and bunted for a considerable period, escaped from the New Cattle Market, and created the greatest alarm in the neighbourhood, by nearly killing one man and causing some destruction of property.

He then left him, and dashed at several other persona, who only eieaped by making aprecipitate retreat into the nearest sheltering places.
