TO OUR RZADKRiL SPOI:TINU DiTELLIGENCIL A !ate edition of the Exprese is published every eveuistg during the r.icing season, containing the results of the ilas'A rams. Tue Associatiee which has grown up under the name of the 3letmpolitan Evening Claws, some times disignisated from their former seat at Crosby Hall, is to bo new-modelled and placed on • broader basis fitted for permanence. 3lustof our readers will have learned the reasons for the change in the speeches of the Rev. CHARLES MAC. KENZIE, the founder of the classes, and of the Bishop of Lemnos at the Mansion House. The claws have become too useful to be given up, and too expensive to carry on upon the old system. It is found, at the end of twelve years' experience, that they can pay working expenses but cannot bear a heavy rent. An effort is, therefore, now made to raise a sum sufficient to buy • borne for them, and so set them rent-free. There seems no reason whatever to doubt of the complete success of the Association under these conditions. The classes are valued, as the number of student., they attract proves. Since 1848 about 6,000 pupils have received instruction in the classical and principal modern languages, Hebrew, elementary mathematics, English gram mar and literature, chemistry, book-keeping, and the Bible. In the year 1800 the pupils paid 544?. to the funds of the Association. And at the meeting ins Wednesday, Mr. Msekzezts produced a list of 700 young men who had given their names and addresses, stating their desire to attend the classes and pay the subscriptions. Considering that for the last two years the num ber of members has ranged between 600 and 700, there appears no reason to doubt that those pre miers will bo fulfilled, if the arrangements for re organizing the Association can be carried out. This, however, will depend on the extent of support which the scheme may receive within the next few weeks from the wealthy portion of the City of London. A sum of 2,500/. is wanted to make the classes rent-free. So much must be raised to justify perseverance in the work, and towards that sum 1,040!. was sub scribed at the Mansion House. The merchants, bankers, and other men of business in the City are now invited to glance at the Association, to con sider the tendency of its operations, the influence it is calculated to exercise, and the guarantee of success contained in its plan, and then, if it ap pears worthy of their confidence, to subscribe the money still necessary for the successful execution of the project. The principle on which the Association is to be reorganized is that of self-support, with its cor relative, self-government. This is a feature essential to its success. Not even the cultivation of the intellect is to be pursued at the price of self-respect. The aid necessary to overcome the difficulties of a beginning, assistance in raising the sum necessary to establish the institution—a sum small in com parison with the surrounding wealth, but large in relation to the means of its members—is all that an be properly asked, and as we have seen, is all that is necessary. It is well, moreover, that our young men should remember, what we fear the language of zealous friends sometimes leads them ED forget, the truth that in many respects their individual interest in self-improvement is far greater than that of society in the same remit. We are glad to hear from the Rev. Mr. MAUKENZI z that some who first learnt Greek at these classes are now occupying distinguished positions as cler gymen, and of the ten pupils who competed for Government appointments that all were successful. But the community would in any case have been supplied with clergymen and clerks. And suc cess needs no reward. The virtue of " getting on" is not one that requires to be stimu lated in these days. And not only of such students as these, but of three who seek after know ledge with the most interested passion we ml, say, on the testimony of universal experience, " He that is wise shall be wise for himself." On every account, then, this Association in its renovated form should be self-supporting. It is proposed that the Mettopolitan Evening Classes should be reconstiteeed as the City of Lon don College. " Cutieye qtangi con-singe," says the plassantetymologistCuse t ra LAKE, "a place where people read together." " I think," he adds, " public readingroonur the best method of edu " eating young men. Solitary reading is apt to "give headache. be,iries, who 'liters that you de rein 1' ' , An is educated at Christ's Hospital, %Atm a man to whose poirer as a teacher sinus bas paid the highest tribute, Could afford to joke about head aches. If the endowed institu tions of edncation which are so numerous in thia country wen. honestly dealt with, there might be less need of evening classes, and mines of Intellec tual wealth now unworked might be opened to the pis ,fit of the country. But one must take-- that is Mr. Msresezie and his friends must tale—things as they are and adapt their means t, them. We know what most of our middle-class schools are, and how little they do to prepare boys for the business of life. But even if they were better the pupils are taken from them to follow some trade or employment before the mind is awakened to the value of knowledge. These classes take up young men just at the time when they are becoming sensible of their own defi ciencies. The lately unwilling scholar is now ready to devote his few hours and narrow moans to re pair the omissions of his school education. Again, a pursuit in life becomes more and more every year a vocation, a calling which persons asoorttin for themselves by considering their pecu- I liar aptitudes. Men instead of plodding in paths made for them make trucks for themselves, and want to furnish their minds with weapons and in struments for the expedition. The community gains in life and vigour, in variety and originality by this exercise of a free self-determination. And to menof thisdispositionao situated, aids such asare supplied in these evening classes are invaluable. The title of College which is given to the asso ciation in its new form will offend some tastes as too ambitious. If we are to regard the name as chosen to recall by association a standard of know ledge not yet reached, a completeness of studies not as yet achieved, perhaps it is no disadvantage that some margin is left for growth. The wall of the infant city must not circumscribe it too narrowly. But the institution will further be a College in virtue of the association of persons eminent in station and frierds of education as fellow members with its students. If those emi nent persons are chosen for their intellectual and moral superiority, and their known sympathy with its objects, and it is understood on both sides that this connexion is not to be merely nominal, the good they may do by helping to keep up its spirit and tone is very great. As the institution advances in prosperity and importance we shall doubtless see its plan of instruction amplified. The disciplinary studies will bear a larger proper thin to languages, more sciences will be added to the list of subjects, and passive attention will be abandoned for active thought. The appeal, however, now made for aid must stand on the basis of past achievement and present cspab'lities. And on this ground wo believe the facts we have quoted will be taken as satisfactory.

ILLNESS o► THE EARL or Euxu.vros.—We Edia bagruA Conran+) regret to learn that the Berl of Eglinton was on Tuesday evening seised with alarming illness at Mount Melville, the roeidence of J. Whyte Melville, Faq., where he had been residing previous to attending the St. Andrew. golf meeting, held yesterday. Though the attack at first appeared to be very serious, we are happy to say that yesterday the health of the noble earl was in an ins. proved state. The Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter leave tows to-day for their seat, Burghley Hall, near Stamford. His Excellency the Hon.

We regret to state that Lord Loftus, the English minister at Berlin, has just sustained the loss of hie eldest daughter, aged 13 years, who died on Monday host at Bedew Baden. Lord Cowley had an interview with the Emperor Napoleon at St. Cloud on Wednwiday. We (Critic) understand that Mr. Lawrence Oli phant. our secretary of legation is Japan, is on his return home from that country invalided, through the injuries received in the murderous attack made on him by the band of assassins at Yale, on the night of the sth of July Let. Mr. Oliphant had been only one short week in Japan when, on the oce.con referred to, he received two serious wounds, one on the right ' , boulder and the other on the left wrist. The latter, it is feared, will deprive him of the use of his left band. General Sir Jamei Outram arrived at Malta on the 21st nit from Soathamptoa, by the steamer Delta, belonging to the Penh:under nod Oriental Company. The pliant and veteran general is, we sincerely regret to learn, is very indifferent health. Oa recruiting his strength, ws believe, he purposes proeeedieg on a visit to Constanti• apple. The Earl of Listowel and Viva mot Hamilton were is the mme steamer on a twit India. We (Times) learn that Dr. Pantsloone, who for as many years, in his capacity of phy.ician, enjoyed the confidence of the principal English and American families at Rome, and who was so brutally expelled from that city in the sprieg, on the crawl of hie political !opinions, is about to settle as • medical practitioner at Nice, where his services are likely to be in requelt Awing the ensuing winter. Rir joltu Coleridge spoke at some lotigtli on the new educational minute at the annual meeting of the rf,ui tow Church Association, on Wednesday. As one of the Conimissiomers for Education he entirely disclaimed any re. eponsibility with regard to this minute. " Thom," he said, "who take the trouble to real the report will find several recommendation', all of which go to form • part of the whole. It is therefore unfair to take one sod omit the others, and then may that you meeting on the recomnaen . dation, of the commimionem I disclaim it entirely. I, for one, am ready to stand by them—subject, of coarse, to having our errors pointed out. We do not suppose that we ars infallible, or that it has been impossible to make mistakes. This Is p, 'Don't attrilswe to the Education Commiednwrs anything that yo do; if r•: tat: one pert don't omit the other from consideration.'" A Lime of Bishop Wilson, by the Rev.

The Delta, with the heavy portion of the mails, was to leave Malta at 10 p.m. on the Ist, and may be expected at Southampton on the 10th inst. The Orissa brought the mails from Bombay, and the Norm► those from the Mauritius, arriving at Suez on the 20th and 27th ult. respectively. - - EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE HIGH PRICE OF BREAD IN PARIS. (nor on ows oonsnommer.) PARIS. THURSDAY Ermsa. There are rumours to-.lay of agitation in some of the faubonrgs of Paris, owing to distress among the working classes, and the high price of bread. There is a talk of numerous arrests, and of placards hearing the moister inscription, Do poipt opt 14 ~wit. Although in such cases there is sure to be much exa. , ”eration, there must be some foundation for the reports of the day, because M. Paulin Limayrac in the Pays tries to allay them by the following article, Leaded— ITALY. (PROM OUR OWN CORREAPORDE37.) ROME, Serr. I have just time, before closing of the post, to communicate to you • fact but now brought to our knowledge, and which I cannot yet bear to reflect upon, for it tills me with horror, after seeing the Pope's guillotine do deadly execution on a brave man's neck, as I told you, seven days ago. Loca telli is proved to be innocent of killing the Papal geudarme ! Innocent of the capital crime of mur der I never doubted him to be. We now find that the blow was struck, with whatever degree of cri minality, by another hand. The Niciose of Flo rence coutains this statement, which perhaps may have reached you already by a more d►rect road : "Giacomo Castrucci, a Roman emigrant, has pre sented himself within the last few days to the Royal Procurator of the Tribunal of First Instance, and has declared that he, on the evening of the 29th June, in the midst of the conflict, and to defend himself against the attack of the gendarme, was the person who committed the homicide for which Lucatelli has been condemned. He says that he is impelled to make this avowal by his con science not permitting him to let an innocent man be sacrificed in his stead. The Royal Procurator took down these declarations of Castrucci, and had him removed to the prison of the Murata (at Flo near). Unhappily, however, this information ar rived when, by the extraordinary precipitation of the sentence on the part of the Roman government, the axe of the executioner had already lopped off poor Locatelli's head." I told you at the time of that fatal and indecent haste. The tribunal of the Sabra Consulta passed sentence on • Friday evening, the 6th inst. It was on the Tuesday that Monsignor Sagretti, the President, laid that sentence before the Pope. According to the usual course, the Pope's response should have been given at the next weekly audience, on the following Tuesday, the 17th. But on this occasion, the amiable Pontiff sent to signify his confirmation of the sentence OIL Thursday, the second day after it was placed in his hands. The death-warrant was executed last Saturday morning, the 21st. It is rare indeed, that the vilest felon, condemned to death under this priestly government, dass not obtain a respite of many mouths, so much tenderness and anxiety do they affect for the conversiou of his soul. I hear of two persons still alive in the prison hero, • man who slew his father sod his brother, a woman who baked her little child to death in the oven, tried and duly convicted and sentenced two years and a half ago. But for the political offender, for the victim of this hypocritical tyranny, there is a short and summary end. A Constantinople letter says :—" On Saturday Wt, Sir Henry Bulwer presented his lilliputian steam yacht —the Cinderella—to his highness Youssouf-eddiu Effendi, the Sultan's son. The little vessel bad been beautifully fitted up, and fresh painted from taffrail to figurehead. Shortly after she came to a mooring under the windows of the palace, his juvenile highness took personal possession, and seemed delighted with his property, rummaging cabin, engine-room, and forecastle with the liveliest curiosity and satisfaction. His Majoity the Sultan looked on from oue of the windows, and at the close of the little owner's in spection sant out a handsome backaheesh to the late crew of the vessel. The Union Jack had been previously hauled down and the crescent and star hoisted in its stead." The Emperor Napoleon went to see the Artesian well at Passy the day before yesterday, and was received by M. Kind, the engineer. His Majesty expressed himself highly gratified with the success of the undertaking, and complimented M. Kind and his son on the happy result of their six years' labour. To show the ascesional force of the spring, M. Kind closed the issue near the surface, and the w►ter immediately rushed up the tube and gushed over the top in the shape of a mushroom. His Majesty, on leaving,promised to send a testimonial of his satisfaction for the different workmen employed. Prince Napoleon returned to New York on the 18th ult., after an absence of about three weeks, in which time ha enjoyed himself in busting on the Tut Western prairies, and had a view of the grand cataract of Niagara, and finally arrived at Albany on the 17th. At West Point ho made a critical inspection of the military academy at that place, and arrived at the New York Hotel late on the same evening, where his consort, the Princess Clothilde, was awaiting his coming. In his peregrination through the West and the Oradea his imperial highness was accompanied by his suite, and M. Mercier, the French minister resident at Washington. The Princess Clothilde met her husband at Buffalo, went with him to Niagara, and returned to New York, where she remained at the hotel, having as company only the Duchess de Abrantes. On the morning of the 19th the prince went on board his yacht, lying off the Bat tery. He was to leave for Boston in 64 yacht on the 21st. The Prince de Joinville, Lis eon, nephews, and suite were presented to President Lincoln on the 20th ult. by the Secretary of State. The Prince was presented to Secret/ay Seward by the representative of Brazil. A letter from Baden of the 29th mentions the death of the Princess Maria do Solna, nit Bonaparte, from brain fever. Queen Christina left Sainte-Adresse, uear Havre, on Wednesday morning for Paris, accompanied by the Duke de Manures and their daughter, the Princess Ladislas Czar torisks. The season of the Italian Opera, Paris, opened oa Tuesday night with Cimareses famous Sfatrimonio Se °ref°, composed seventy years ago, and still as popular as ever. The principal artistes are Mmes. Albooi, Battu, and Penco, with Zuchiiii, Badirli, and a new tenor (new for Paris), Belart—a Spanish vocalist, who possesses • sweet and dextble voice, but, like his predecessor, Gardoni, is sadly deficient in the animation and rerce so pleasing to • Parisian audience. Verdi's opera of Mae%r'h is to be speodily produced, besides a number of works hitherto un known in Paris, though familiar to opera-goers in London and in Italy. The Cunatitulionnel says that Portland is au imitation of Cherbourg. "The English Lave taken from us the screw for vessels, rifled carbines, rifted cannon, and iron-plated frigates ; and they have resolved to com plete the list of their borrowings, by taking the model of a port. In all this, there is for us nothing new, nothing sur prising, and in particular nothing alarming, and we cannot understand why the Time+ should express so much joy. That journal had no need of Portland to be roauured, if, indeed, it should think fit to show itself resuured." Duels seem to be increasing in Germany. The Zeit of Frankfort states that a hostile encounter has just been fought near that city between Major Von der Tann, chamberlain to the King of Bavaria, and an Austrian officer, whose name is not given. The major was :hot in the abdo men, and soon after expired. A letter from Homburg states that three (lays ago the ceiling of the Conversation-room fell in, awl that several persons were injured. No details are given. "The Queen of Moheli," says the Nuncellisie of Marseilles, "has decidedly recognised the French pro tectorate at Madagascar. Jombe-Souli, for such is her name, has had the tricoloured deg raised by the side of hor resi dence, to prove French protection, and has written a letter to the Emperor Napoleon to thank him for the services ron. dined by the French navy." _ _ The Pays has the following A Win !!"..0 Ceara of the Ist announces that Kouuth has coi -1 lected together several ex-ministers of the ilict of Path, as well as Generals Klapka and Tarr, at present in Italy, to discuss the eventualities of the situation of their country. The republican form of government was at once set aside in principle without diICUSIiOD. Three candidates will be pro posed to the nation for the throne of Hungary, when she shall have recovered her self-government. Among those candidates is the l'rince do Crony, a descendant of Saint Stephen, and who is avowedly supported by the Hungarian legion. He would take the title of Augustus 1. A special meeting on the subject is to be held on the sth." " A few weeks ago," writes a Now York cor reepoodest, " I found in a Buffalo paper a most elaborate puff of the hotel at which I was staying. The editor had evidently been travelling as a' dad bead,' as it is called, and paid his bill by a laudatory notice. The proprietor • Lnew how to keep an hotel ; the table ' was covered with the choicest delicacies whiz.), the market could pro duce ; everyone connected with the establishment was well spoken of, and the paragrrph concluded—' Nor must we forget to mention the ,;ent/emarilike attar/we, Messrs. Hogan and They were the porters !" THE PRICE Or BREAD. For some days past there Las Leen a talk of uneasiness existing among the Parisian population, and the working classes moro especially, in consequence of the rise in the price of bread, and political passious natu rally endeavour to turn this uneasiness to ac count. list these passions are out of date, for the popular classes know bow enthusiastically the Emperor takes thought fur their interests and wellbeing, and their gratitude is not to be affected by a momeutary alarm. There was a time when the governmeut of France disdained the people : there was another period when it feared them. But these things are altered. The people now-a-days is neither despised nor feared. It is the object of a °mutant solicitude. The imperial government dues not diadaia or dread the laborious classes : it loves them. There is the secret of its strength. And, therefore, when embarrass ments result from a subsistence crisis, they are economical, sad never political. They may he very real, but they are of an order altogether different from what they were under the ancient monarchy of 're and the government of July, As to the present crisis, we must neither attenuate nor exaggerate it, and we call attention to the following reflections. Thou follows a long article putting the prospects of the winter supply in the best possible light, and insisting upon the large public works to be executed in Paris as a fruitful resource for the poor. " Credit and free trade" is the watchword on which the Pays relies. The Opinion Nationale last night said it had received • memorial alleged to have been signed by 750 working men ; but in default of the signatures it could not print it. This evening the journal makes no reference to the subject, and therefore, I presume, has had a hint to be silent. I have just heard of a horrible assassination of • police officer, which occurred an hour or two ago in the Boulevard Selsuitopol, under these circum stances :—The Prefect of Police, with that spirit of minute interference which was lately exemplified in the decree touching preserved plums and China oranges, has within the last few days ordered all coach men and draymen in Paris to give up the use of whip cord. This ordinance against a useful and accus tomed aid to driving was not issued out of any humane consideration for the horses, but because nervous citizens complained of the noise made by the cracking of whips. This afternoon, as a dray man was conducting a cart laden with stones along the Boulevard de Sebastopol a sergent de rifle ob served that he had whipcord on his whip, and de sired him to take it off. The man paid no attention to the order, and thereupon the police officer shortened the whip himself with a pair of scissors. Upon this provocation the carter seized the policeman, threw him on the ground, and, whether intentionally or not (I hope not), placed him in such a position that the wheel of the cart passed over his head and killed him on the spot. The masonic meeting for the election of a grand master, which was forcibly prorogued by the police in May, is to be held on the 14th of this month, in the Rue Cadet. Up to this time the interest which was felt in the matter does not seem to have been revived in the public mind ; but I have no doubt that the craft will elect Prince Napoleon against Murat, unless—of which there is at present no evi dence—the former should have been persuaded to withdraw his pretensions. The Bourse was more calm to-day and quotations recovered to a considerable extent. Rents rose 25c. for cash and 15c. for amount, closing at 68fr. 25c., and 68fr. 40c. Mobilier ruse 16fr. 25c. The Orleans and Northern railways rose 7fr. 50c. each. In the other lines there was little change. Money rules on the Bourse as high as 10 or 12 per cent. Father Passaglia's Latin pamphlet, arguing the non-necessity of the temporal power, is dreadfully long and dreadfully tiresome. The moat striking part of it is the announcement (or threat, as some may read it) that if the Pope does not give way there will be a schism in the catholic church. After this he proceeds to prove, by most diffuse arguments, supported by intermin able quotations from learned doctors and fathers of the church, that the temporal power is not an article of faith, and that the Italian revolution being " neither evidently just nor evidently un just," but a matter concerning which a theologian may lawfully doubt, the Pope is at liberty to com pound with it for the sake of peace and the in terests of Christianity—in dalnis libertna. " Three objections," continues the author, " may be made:— I. That the Pope has too often said no' to say `yes' at this time of day. 2. The oath that Pius IX. took on his accession relative to tho mainten ance of the states of the church. 3. The fear lest the spiritual power of the papacy could not be freely exercised if Rome should become the capital of Italy." To these three objections Father Passaglia replies by an excessively wordy dissertatiou, from which may be deduced these simple propositions :—A. The Popo may always, with honour, reverse a previous deci sion if the necessities of the church require it. B. The oath imposed on the popes of the sixteenth century wax intended to Prevent them from muti lating the domains of the church for the benefit of their nephews and natural or legitimate children, such as Caesar Borgia, Paul Louis Farnese, et hoe genus opine, and is therefore wholly inapplicable to the present ease. O. That it is very easy to con stitute a free church side by side with a free state. and that, with the guarantees offered, the Pope will be freer than he am before.

At Copenhagen a rather curious circumstance is mentioned respecting Count de Hamsterlf, Foreign Minister of Prussia. It seems that he is a Danish 'abject, and that before entering Prwodau diplomacy he took an oath of fidelity to King Predorick VII., at the time of the Recession of that sovereign to the throne of Denmark and the two German Duchies. In Prussia the approaching coronation occupies public attention, more, perhaps, than the great political questions of the day. AU the principal burgomasters in the kingdom have been invited to the ceremony, and towns of above 5,000 souls are to be represented by deputations. Besides their travelling exposes the members of the Chamber of Deputies will teosive for their stay at Konigs- berg an indemnity of eight days' pay, at the same rate as when attending the legislature. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ROME. The ultminoutane journal, the Union, gives the words used by the Pope a few days ago at a religious ceremony. "In these times of con fusion and disorder," said the Holy Father, " it is not unfrequent to see Christians, catholics, who always have upon their lips—a middle course, conciliation ; compromise. Well, I do not hesitate to declare that these MCI& are in error, and I do not regard them as the least dangerous enemies of the church. Be firm, then ; no conciliation, nu compromise, with impious men. I commend these words to all catholics, but specially to the members of the clergy who may be iu danger of being seduced by perverse doc trines contrary to the just interests of this Holy Sue sod of the church." The Dibuts of to-day bas a letter from Turin, dated the 2nd, iu which we read, " I can give you the positive lUDIUMIICAI that the relations of Baron Rieaeuli with the court of the Tuileries are as satis factory an possible. I can also tell you that the French government has asked neither directly nor indirectly the least cession of territory.

Marshal Ser rano having called for volunteers to the corps that is to embark fur Vera Crux, the whole of the regu lar army of Cuba, privates and officers, responded to the appeal, and the marshal was compelled to determine the selection by drawing lots. The en thusiasm in favour of this expedition against the Mexican republic is extreme throughout the Spanish Antilles. MADRID, Ocr. 2. The CorrestKowlentia Antografa of to-day says : "We are authorised to deny the statement that the preparations for the Spanish expedition to Mexico h,ol boon aurpoiniod, and to duels", on tho contrary that they are being actively carried on.

Various questions relating to colonial affairs formed the subject of a protracted discussion." FRANCE. THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S VISIT TO COMPIEGNE. The Cunstitottionnel of last evening publishes an article, signed by its chief editor, M. Grandguillot, entitled, "The Visit of the King of Prussia." This article commences by recalling that, in the course of the last ten years, almost all the sove reigns of Europe have visited France, and ex presses hopes that these meetings of the sovereigns will lead the peoples to esteem and understand each other. " France, it continues, " sees nothing else in the visit of the King of Prussia." Replying to the construction put upon the visit by the German press, which considers it as a mere act of courtesy in exchange for the visit of the Emperor of the French, last year, BE Grandguillot says : "It is, we think, difficult to admit that the sovereigns of the two most influential and solidly-established continental Powers should meet solely to exchange a few commonplace courtesies." M. Grandguillot considers the treaty of com merce negotiated between the two countries to be of immense importance, " because political treaties only reconcile sovereigns, while commercial treaties reconcile nations." The article terminates as follows : "King William of Prussia is one of these princes who are able to understand their country and their age. The firmness and the uprightness of his character are proverbial. He comes of the race of those princes who, boldly declaring to their people that they trample under foot unjust prejudices and blind hatreds, and that they disdain the favour of an ephemeral popularity, only seek the impartial approbation of posterity."

The Revising Barrister, Alfred litueson, Re q ., resumed his duties at eleven o'clock this morning iu the Court of Common Pleas, at Guildhall. Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. Geurgo Ledger again attended on behalf of the Liberal Association, and Mr. Nokes (Noires sad Carlisle) represented the Conservative Registration As. sociatioo. In the parish of St. Mary-kilos, the name of Richard Hyde Benton was objected to by Mr. Nukes, and tieorgo Holton, who signed the notice of objection, attended to support it., and said that be had out kept a list of the notices he had signed, although lie knew he had served • hundred of them altogether. His Honour said that unfortunately a practice bad arisen which must be amended, sod he should in future require strict proof respecting the signature nod services of the notices of objection before he would consent to strikeout the names of absent parties. It was very necessary that gee. tlemen who signed objections in that way should take a note of each Lose, so that he might be able to give specific evidence respecting every objection whi c h he signed. Accordini , to the course which had been adopted, one-h alf of the voters might be disfranchised on insufficient objections, and the evil should be remedied. He was convinced that the decision he had given on this point on the first day was not correct, arid he should in future require strict proof in each case. He should nut disfranchise any person until be wan satisfied that due notice of the objection was given to him. Mr. Nokes submitted that the production of the duplicate with the Poet•office stamp should be considered sufficient evidence that the original was sent. His Honour said that the postmaster was not in a jbosi. Lion to ascertain that the signature to the notice wee in the handwriting of the objector, and the production of the stamped duplicate was merely evidence that the no tice had been sent to the object•e. The signature of the objector,must be proved he would not say by himself, but by some person who witnessed the signature. Mr. Sidney Smith thought the adoption of such a rule would give rise to practical evils, and he hoped the court would pause before coining to sail a conclusion. His Honour said he had come to the conclusion after grave consideration. A perseverance is the vicious system that had been introduced would 'seduce greater evils than any that could arise from the adoption of the rule he now laid down. Mr. S. Smith observed that he had frequently represented to the City members and to Lord John Russell that there should be a public officer to receive the list of paeans alleged to be properly qualified, and that lie should giro decisions respecting them, leaving it to the Revising Bar rister to act u a court of appeal from such decisions. If the detailed procedure shadowed out by the court were to be followed in every care it would be impossilde to get through the business. His Honour did not think it would lio necessary to do that. He thought it would be competent for him to take the proof of service of a number of notion together. Some lengthened discussion ensued, and Mr. Holton was examined, and said he had signed all the notices in blank. His Honour said that be was bound to decide that when Mr. Molten signed the document it was not a notice, but a piece of paper. Mr. Nelms must ask the court to grant him a case for an e. is Fleenor was ready to grant a ease, on being convinced that there were grounds for doing so. Mr. Molton further stated that, having signed the notices, ho left them on them on the desk in charge of a gentleman (Mr. Nokee cleric), but did not authorise him to du anything with them. The gentleman (Mr. Nokes' clerk) bad asked him to sign a few objection papers, and said he would give him se. for doing so. (laughter.) He signed a whole heap of them, and having received the I* he went away. (Renewed laughter.) He did not koow what was goicg to be dons with them, nor did he give coy directions as to their disposal. His Honour decided that there was no case for appeal, and therefore refused it. Ho rejected the objection taken by George Holton to Richard Hyde Benton, and also re jected all the objections which had been taken by Mr. Molton against other voters. This important decision appeared to cause great dismay in the conservative camp. The weather in London and in Paris has been for the lad two or three days exceptionally fine. The sun shinesout warmly, and the windows are kept open as in the height of summer. It appears that the shipments of cotton from Liverpool to the United States amounted during the put month to 3,703 bales, of which the whole were American excapt 321 bales Fast huhu. The principal portion wee conveyed in steamers. The New York Heraid of the 21st ult., under the head of "Cotton for Europe," has the following : "The government is now organiaing, and has, perhaps, partly despatched, several military and naval expeditions again. the South, employing in the aaregate about 150,000 men and 3,000 ships of war and transport". With this large force the Southern cotton crop will be seized at the different depots, whoa it is ready for market, and the government will have about 2,1100,000 bales by the let of January next for export to EogLiail and France. There is no necosaity, therefore, for European nations to quarrel with us about the cotton supply. We shall be ready to let them have all the cotton they want by the time they require it." It is auderstood that by the middle of November the climate of Vera Crux and Tampico will be well suited to the forthcoming intervention of the allied forces in the Gulf of Mexico. From that time the healthy season begins. and it commonly continues during some six months. _ THE ENGLIIIII IN PEAIBBI.I“—The lietlipetklauce Beige says :—" Before his recent departure for Baden, the King of Prussia received at the chateau of Bruhl a depute• tion of Englishmen charged by their countrymen residing in Dusseldorf and the neighbourhood to convey to his Majesty their felicitations and thanks. The king, after listening to a translation of their address, informed the deputation that he quite shared the desire expressed by them of seeing= intimate alliance prevail between England and Prussia. He added that he wise happy to receive from the lips of Englishmen residing in Prussia the sasurance that the best understanding and mutual good will existed in their relations with the authorities and inhabitants of his states. This demonstration is an answer to the recrimina tions directed in England against Prussia, on occasion of certain insignificant incidents which occurred at Bonn a year ago. le this point of view it has produced the heat effect in the Rhenish provinces. On the other band, the English journals have made mention of it as a satisfactory symptom of the relations entered on between their country and Prussia. The deputation wee composed of Rears. Foul. ditch, Anglican Minister, Ilulvany, Scott, Malleson, and Parrott." - - --- W INTNINSTER RFA ; ISTRATION. —3lr. T. H.

CORONERSHIP OF THE WEsTERN DIVISION OF MIDDLERIFE.—Mr. Wakley, who has been unable front the state of his health to attend to the duties of the western division of the county for nearly two years, has been obliged to leave England to spend the winter at Muleira, in the hope of regaining strength.

Wianaut.—The Eastern Counties directors last week numbed a resolution to commence the construction of the harbour line forthwith. There is a general feeling of satisfaction in the town at the determination which hal thus been arrived at, after a delay of fourteen years, which have been suffered to elapse since the railway was brought to the town. There can be no doubt that the absence of the connecting link between the railway and the harbour has been one cause of the deterioration of the port.
