A Ude edition of the Express is published every weenies during the ricing season, ouutaining the results el the day's mem. TUB King of Mumma is at Compi4ne upon a very obvious and • very natural errand. That potentate, it is known, had determined on march ing an army towards the Rhine, when the Peace of Villafr.inea seasonably intervened. Since that time Prussia has declared that, although attacks by Italians upon Venetia did not interest and should not move “crinany, nevertheless such aggression on the part of Italy, if promoted or supported by France, was a menace and a danger which ought to be repelled by (Germany i n arms . . . Such being the position taken by Prussia, a solemn appeal has been recently made to it by Austria. M. vo. So iimeatiNo represented to the K IN ,f4 t;overnment that the question of Rome was approaching a solution. France, he said, however &sirens of not offending the Church, could not oppose it without forfeiting the grati tude and alliance of the Italian people and go vernment. The surrender of Rome to a Sardinian garrison was, therefore, to be expected, the ne cowry consequence of which would be an attack upon Venetia in the spring. This, he added, was so completely pro-arranged and known, that the Hungarians had acted with a full confidence in its fulfilment, bad resisted all the proffers of Austria in consequence, and maintained a passive attitude in expectation of the seasonable time for an uprising. In this concerted policy, these well weighed moves, the simplest eye, he suggested, must see the agency of France. And the Austrian I Minister accordingly summoned the Prussian Go vernment to fulfil its promises, and not only be ready to march in the spring to the support of Aus tria, but at once declare its determination to do so. It may be, as report adds, that Austria accom panied this summons by the most tempting offers to Berlin, such as that of ceding to it the supreme influence and precedence in German councils; but on that point our infoi.nation is less sure. Prussia, before returning an answer to so serious a demand, naturally desired to sound the intentions of the French Emreaoa. In the mean time, as Smatter of decorum, Count BICHNSTORYP withheld the recognition of the kingdom of Italy which had been arranged by his predecessor. France replied to Prussian interrogatories that a personal interview between the Sovereigns would be the best and surest mode of removing ambi guities and incertitudes—mid FIZOINICi WlLLtais is at Compiii,me. There is mingled good and evil in these per sonal interviews of Sovereigns, as the Emperor o: Allirais has so fully experienced. Had Favicis Alerts accepted the first proposition of NAYO LISON 111. for an amicable interview—had not Austrian pride rejected it—the probability is that CAVOU II would have been disappointed, and the Lombard campaign have never taken place. Yet when Is.ANcis Joesru did accept the interview of Villafranca, it is evident that, whilst he thought he was safe-guarding the poisonous of his famly in Italy, he, in reality, was abandoning them altogether. In the present conjuncture the pro testations of Naroinow 111. will be such as Feeneatee WILLIAM can neither question nor resist. Indeed, if the French Sovereign was not prepared to make them, and the German monarch to be satisfied, the interview would have been evaded by one or by the other ; and it is very na tural to conceive that the Austrians are much mor tified by its taking place at all. But all than protestations, this confidence, and this accord, cannot have the power to stop the march of events in Italy. There, it is evident, Rome must undergo or accept the fortunes of the Peninsula ; and the French cannot continue to up hold Papal exactions and executions without the relations of France and Italy degenerating into enmity. Rome must go. Venetia must follow. And the gnat movement which has liberated the Italian Peninsula will be continued through the East of Europe. The insurrection of Hungary will be accompanied by that of Poland. And it is for the Sovereign of Petnists especially to deter mine what part he will take with respect to the great cataclysm. That such grave and serious contingencies, be longing to the future rather than to the present, should be &wafted in all their possible con-. sequences between Sovereigns is unlikely. They may be hinted at, however, and it may be remarked that such events do not really menace Germany, unless Germany chooses to meddle with them: that if Fa e or a ire Wit.niam chooees to put back his policy a century, and rejoin the Holy Alliance of Russia and Austria to crush the movement of Sclavonian reorganization, then the ttame of re volution will not only reach Germany, but burn! there even morn fiercely than on the Vistula or the Danube. But that if the King of l'acesia would imitate his brother of France, act where action is indispensable, but otherwise be content to look on at the course of events developing themselves, his dynasty would be found in the lapse of years at the ' bead of the North of Germany at least, whilst Poland would have recovered its crown, the Austrian em pire meanwhile, under a different name and with altered spirit, having merely moved lower down the Danube. These are dreams that must seem visionary to the practical politician. But are they more so than a free and united Italy was six years back 1 In a pamphlet just published in Paris, " Iw " Rhin et le Vutule," to which some importance Ili I, 1 • has been attached, the writer takes pains to alarm I the utter indifference of the French Sovereign to extend his frontier on the side of the Rhine, whilst he strongly recommends the German Powers to re constitute Poland as a barrier between them and Ramie. This may be all very well. But the re suseitation of Poland and Hungary implies the extinction of Atuitris—at least as a German Em pire. The question is, who is to succeed to Aus trian supremacy in Germany? Several significant acts of the Imperial Government of France during late years have pointed clearly to a desire to re suscitate. the old Confederation of the Rhin; and with it the direct influence of Franco over at least the Southern States of Germany. Is France pre pared to abandon this, as well as its territorial ambition 1 And at what price ? Hi , . Royal Highnem the Prince of Wale; met the Pnuc of Olucksburg at the Chateau of Runmenheini.

The pontoons in the lichen river for the new Southampton and Isle of Wight Steam Packet Company will be completed in about a fortnight, when the new com pany's steamers the Lord of the Isles and the lady of the Lake will start from the lichen river instead of from the Southampton pier. The new company's pumager and cattle and carriage steamer is rapidly progreasiUg towards completion. A cal Hag:, drawn by sit horses will shortly be able to be driven on the pontoons, and from therm on beard the above-named cattle and carriage steamer. The ob ject in providing this steamer is to supersede the use of tow boats, awl encourage the nobility and gentry who keep car riages to visit the Isle of Wight. The new company, starting from the Itches river, will raise the question of the legal right of the Southampton liar end Harbour Commis. sincere to compel Isle of Wight Aram to start from the pier, by which a considerable portion of the revenue of th e commisaioaers is derived.

He says :—" I expected to God in the Hungorism a manly sod chivalrous spirit, but I was not disposed to expect a vary high degree of intellectual cub ivation. To my surprise, I discovered an extent of intellectual culture which is set ~weed in any part of Europe. Not may at Pesth, but la the remote parts of northern Hungary, I met with may persona who could speak Win with as much dusecy as they speak their mother toagea.

He found that the itusgariuns pomemed is an eminent degree the character. titles which are expressed by the word "gentleman." We (Pod) believe we - may state that thu general order under " the Baskruptcy Act, 1861," will be issued to the profession and the public on the 12th inataet The statute provides (section 732) that the act shall commence and take effect from and after the 11th day of October, Iltil, and the publication of the general orders could not therefore take place until the day after the commencement of the act itself. This is, we believe, the only instance in which general orders under any new statute have been promulgated concurrently with the law itaelf. It will be recollected that the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act, 1849, received the royal assent on the Ist of August, 1849, and that the order, under that statute were sot issued until the 19th of October, 1832.

Thanks to the numerous special correspondents sent to Compiegne, we have early intelligence in Paris of every circumstance connected with the King of Prussia's visit which is thought likely to interest the public. The following paragraph in oa/iymesi gives a summary of the particulars that were known this morning : On the arrival of the King of Prussia at Compiegne, on Sunday evening, the Emperor, in plain clothes, attended by OemenLi Fleury and de Montebello, his Majesty's aides-de camp, was waiting at the railway station to receive the royal visitor. Five mien carriages, each •*.th four horses and postilions, were in the oourtlard of the station. When the train stopped the Emperor advanced, and, when the King of Prussia had alighted from the carriage, the two sovereigns shook hands eordially, interchanging friendly an. relative to their meeting. The Emperor and the King then entered by themselves oust of the carriages, the gentlemen of their Majesties suites occupying the others. A compact crowd filled the streets leading to the palace, being greatest in the vicinity of the royal residence. The two sovereigns as they pained along were greeted with enthusiastic acclamations. In the courtyard of the palace the Zouaves were drawn up at each side, sod on the arrival of the King the band and drums played a salute. The Empress, accompanied by the Prince Imperial, was waiting for the King at the feet of the grand ste;reass. Near her Majesty were the Princes and Princesses Mont, and behind the ladies of Wooer and the gouvernantas of the Priam Imperial, the Minister of State, Foreign Affairs, gaff Interior, and the several personages of distinction invited to Compiegne. The Empress wore a purple dress, with • white lace mantelet, and in her heacklrese had 'either diamond' nor ornament. The Prince Impe rial wore • Scotch dream, with • jacket of black velvet. WINS the King of Prussia was alighting from his carriage, the Empress advanced a few steps in the vostibrie towards him ; but the King hastened to her Majesty and graciously Wesel her hand. Hies Majesty then caressed the Prince Imperial, and offered his arm to the Empress to ascend the staircase. The Emperor gave his arm to the Princess Hurst. The cortege proceeded to the drawing-room, the staircase being lined by Onst-Gankr. In the evening there was a soled dinner party, and at half-pest 8 there was, by torch light in the court-yard of the palace, a curer of a eta; killed by the imperial bounds in the course of the day. The agartrosats occupied by the King, and which, it is laneeneary to say, are splendidly furnithed, are in the right wing of the palace, and command a view of the gardens. Among the persons invited to Compiegne on this meth= are Count Waiewskt, Minister of State ; Count de Persigoy, Minister of the loterior • M. Thouvecel , Minister of Foreign //Rails ; Marshal Cou nt Valliant. Minister of the Imperial Household ; Marshal Magnan, Commander ir -Chief of the Ist Corps d'Arm6e ; Marshal bi'Maliou, Duke of Magenta, Commander-in-Chief of the 24,1 Corps; and the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne. The programme far to-day (Monday) is—a grand breakfast of 75 covers, shesting in the reserves, promenade to Pierrefonds and the Map de Ssint-Piarn, • dinner of 80 coven, and • per fonmeacie in the theatre of the palace. I glean the following additional facts from the evening papers: It is • circumstance worth noting, as illus trative of the prevalence of the habit of smoking, that during the short ride of not more than five or ten minutes' duration, which their Majesties had tile d tite in the way from the railway station to the chateau of Compiegne, both of them lighted cigars. What conversation took place between them the correspondents cannot say, but they affirm, and this fact may assuredly be accepted on their authority, that they " appeared to be on terms of the most perfect cordiality." When the King ali4hted from the carriage, his height and corpulence were remarked ; but he looks in ruddy health, and, though sixty-four years of age, walks erect and with • firm step. Although a stag hunt was, after his Majesty's sporting preferences had been ascer tained, struck out of the list of the entertainments provided him, he was made to "assist" at the habitual conclusion of one in the imperial forests, viz., the curie or cutting up of the stag by torch light, the hounds baying all the time. It is affirmed that the stag sacrificed on this occasion was actually taken by the imperial pack in the course of the day, and that he afforded a run of six hours. That may be true, but of course the length of the run could add nothing to the spec tacle offered to the King of Prussia, since a shot stag would have done just as well for the carving VENING, OCTOBER 8, ceremony. The corpse of the ste.:4 (whether really a bunted one or not) was laid out on a bier of honour in the courtyard of the palace, a strong troop of imperial huntsmen in livery standing around. The hounds, about 50 in number, were led up three several times to the carcase, and ex cited to madness by the sight and smell of the blood, and copious applications of the whip. At length they were let loose upon their prey, and is a moment not a vestige of the stag was to be seen. This morning there was a banes iu the preserves. It must have been very hot work, for the tempera ture is that of July. The pheasants destined to be knocked down by the sovereigns were, it is admitted, tame pheasants, brought from the breed ing establishment at Versailles, and turned out over night. The splendid ruins of Pierrefonds, which were to be shown to the King this afternoon, are out and out finer than any feudal castle that the Rhine can boast of. It is reported that the play this evening to be represented by the company of the Thiatre Fran is is IMe Job, instead of the Jou: d'Antour l et du Mauled, which was at first ordered. Besides the French special correspondents at Compii.gne, there are several German ones, and particularly representatives of the Gazette y the Cruse and the Atigaboulyi Gtcette. The I'atrie says that orders have been sent to the maritime ports to fit out a squadron for Mexico, of which it is thought that Rear-Admiral Jurien de la Gravire will take the command. The Bourse was again depressed in consequence of the rise in the rate of interest in the Treasury lknids, and uncertainty as to the course which will be taken by the Bank of France. The council broke up to-day without coming to any decision about a further augmentation in the discount, and although it is believed that the Emperor will not allow it to be higher, uneasiness prevails. Bente fell 15c. for cash and account, closing at 68fr. bc. and 68fr. 20c. Mobilier fell Bfr. itic. , and the Italian Loan 30fr. The Orleans Railway fell 10fr., and the other lines lfr. or 2fr. The royal insignia of Prussia to be used in the approaching coronation consists of eight articles—the mag nificent crown which Frederick 1. got executed at an enor mous expense, the sceptre, the globe, the sword, the seal of Nate, the collar of the royal orders, the electoral hat, and the electoral sword. This sown, sceptre, and globe have not been used by a Prussian king for 161 years ; during all that time they were only borne before bite on solemn on. cesions, or exhibited on the death of a sovereign. . . . _ The Paris Fiyaro has the following " parallel " between German and French ladies :—" The French woman dresses ; the German covers herself. The German walks ; the Parisienee undulates. German women are either ugly or pretty ; Parisiennes charming ; none of them are ugly, neither arc any of them beautiful. Whether excited or indifferent the aspect of the German is always frank and honest. What delicious abysses are the eyes of a Pariaissos! As said Count de Gremmont, ' Her eyes have always the air of doing something more thee merely looking at you.' The German says yes or no. With the Ps.risienne it is never either quite gee or altogether no. The German will wait for yon under the tree ten years; the Parisienne tea minutes. The Parisienne is, above all, knowing; the German, peed. The German is content with the admiration of one ; the Frenchwoman likes to be admired by all, and would rather renounce the admiration of her lover than of the public. The Peri:denim is an artist, the German • woman. Moral : It is best to love in France, but to marry in Germany." The grand festival of the French Palais de l'lndustrie, in which 8,000 Orpheonista are to sing, will take place on Friday, the 18th ; Sunday, the 20th ; and Tuesday, the 22nd of this mouth. There is also to be a grand competition ou the 21st, and the distribution of prime to the successful competitors will be effected on the 22nd. A Jotter from Turin in the Monde states that well-informed persons of that city announce that a mat riage between the Princes@ Maria Pia and the King of Portugal has been decidedly resolved on, and that more than a month back the portrait of her royal highness was sent to his Majesty ; but as the princess is so young the wedding will not take place before next spring or perhaps the month of June. A Naples letter, speaking of the quarrel between M. Petrucelli dell Gattina and M. Nicotera, says :—" A duel is inevitable, and will take place at Pausilippo. The conditions will be decided on to-day by the seconds. M. Libertini, a deputy, and M. Albert Mario (husband of Miss White), have been chosen by M. Nicotera; while M. Petro oalli has fixed on M. Alexandre Dumas and 31. Carol*, formerly an emigrant." A postscript of the same letter adds :—" Yesterday the foer seconds were unable to come to any decision, MM. Dumas and Mario having declared themselves incompetent to judge the affair according to Neapolit►n usages. They accordingly called in the assistance of Baron Galati and the Duke San Donato to form a jury of honour, charged with deciding as to the necessity and emaditioeui of the dueL" A letter from Venice of the 29th ult. says :—" It has been stated that three ladies, the Countess Labia, Madame &condi, and Madame Gargeani, had allowed them selves to be locked up in prison, rather than pay fines to which they had been condemned for having attended, dressed in mourning, a mess in honour of Count Cavour. The tut two have since been discharged from confinement, and a grand demonstration ban been made in their favour by the mmt notable persons of the city—upwards of a thousand visiting cards and numerous bouquets having been left at each of their houses. The Countess Labia is still in prison, the condemnation on her having been more severe than theirs." As a railway train, in which was King Louis of Bavaria, • few days back, approached lianelasch, near Munich, it came into collision with two horses and a cart, which were going over the line at a level crossing. The horses were crushed to death, and the vehicle and a peasant who was in it were thrown a considerable distance. The man, who was asleep, sustained no injury. The train was not damaged. _ _ _ The excavations which are being made for the canal for the Isthmus of Suez have led to the discovery at Gizeh of a religious edifice as vast as the Louvre, and which was constructed more than five thousand years ago. At Karnac also a temple, the circuit of which is stated to be four kilometres (24 miles), has been discovered, and another wt Edfou, containing twenty saloons. The walls of these latter edifices are decorated with sculptures, hieroglyphics, and paintings, still fresh. EXTRAORDINARY RINI OF THE MlLL— Messrs. Glees, Elliot, and Co. have received a Wage= from Alex. andria, dated 8.50, Sunday evening, arrived in London Monday morning, 9.29.

SOCIAL Piwuigos IN ITALY.—Lady Bowling writes to the Inquirer :—" During a protracted stay in Italy, I bad unusual opportunities of visiting educational establishments, being introduced by residents. At Leghorn, Florence, and Genoa, I inspected several schools ; in the two letter cities they were principally those set on foot, and supported by the respective municipal bodies, and I wee sur prised to And how much bed been effected in the short spans of two years. The educational course is not so en larged as in this country, but comprises reeding, writing, and arithmetic (well taught) ; with the rudiments of his tory and geography, and the elements of drawing. Singing seems to come naturally to the Italian child; in gprli schools, which intellectually I usually fou n d inferior to the boys, I saw excellent needlework, both plain and fancy; elegant embroidery being executed under the supennten dorms of the teachers, by the children, for the churches end private families. The schools of the municipality are free to the poorer members of the community, bat I some times found a separate class in theism* building, who paid remuneration fees. Everywhere I observed intelligence, cleanliness, and order on the part of the pupils— aptitude and seal on that of the masters. Private benevolence is by no means wanting ; infant schools and industrial establish ments are usually entirely de dent upon it; and in these food and clothing are partially supplied. In addition to pecuniary assistance, the highest in the kid give wet only the weight of their 'genies, but devote much of their time to en object they have so much at heart—the myna. ration of the people. 1861. ITALY. (fox OUR OWN CORILESPOSDIST.) ROME, Ocr. 2. The shocking intelligence you have perhaps got by this time, which lays at the account of this sadly mistaken despotism the hasty shedding of innocent blood, as I have shown you, by the harshest exercise of judicial powers under a system that makes it hardest to discern between innocence and guilt—this requires not much comment from me. The prosecution of Cesare Locatelli, which may scarcely be called a trial, and the execution that I witnessed last Saturday week, followed so promptly by the certain news of his presumed offence having been confessed by another man, can not, however, pass from the mind so soon. These facts beconung now matter of discussion in the rmall circles of Italian and foreign society at Rome, where the misrule under which the Roman people suffer is daily remarked and lamented, we feel a painful, almost an awful sense of the dire effects of misplaced political supremacy, and the mischief that comes from still admitting here in practice the right divine of priests to govern wrong. Few additional particulars have yet reached Inc. Giacomo Castrucci, the man who gave himself up last week to the royal procurator of the tribunal of First In stance at Florence, acknowledging himself to be the person from whom the Papal gendarme received his mortal wound, had stayed in Rome till the 13th ult., a week after Locatelli's trial. He thou left the Pope's dominions on purpose to make this avowal, because, though he might plead to an act of justifiable or venial homicide, having struck that blow, as he declares, amidst the scuffle and conflict, in self-defence against the sword of the gendarme, he would have been certain, as well as Locatell i, to be condemned for the capital crime of murder if he surrendered to take his trial here. Until Loca telli's trial on the 6th Castrucci had seemingly iinaginecl that the accused prisoner might possibly be acquitted for want of evidence, or at least of the capital charge. Now this, I beg you to o bs erve, was the direct and the fatal consequence of that abominable system of secresy, dark, blank, and blind concealment, in which all criminal procedure here is involved from the day of arrest to the day after execution ; that is, to the afternoon when at daybreak the headsman did his office and lopped away a forbid den life. Suppose the trial to have been fair—and it was cruelly, foully prejudiced—suppose the wit nesses to have been honest—and we all believe that some were perjured—it is the denial of publicity, throughout this whole case, from the 30th of June to the 21st September, when the printed sentence came out, hours after the victim of that silent, arbitrary, close tribunal was put to death—it is this, I say, which has falsified the course of justice anddestroyed a guiltless man. This precluded other witnesses from coming in to give their evidence in his favour. The advocate officially appointed to make a perfunctory defence did not seek those witnesses ; he could not know even at the trial, and none but the authors of the prosecution, and the prelatical judges, can yet know individually who were the witnesses against him. None of us have even yet been permitted to read their depositions, or to compare and sum up the im port of each. How, then, could such a man as Castrucci be aware, until it was too late, that the prosecutors had contrived to show an apparent case against Locatelli 1 This delayed the saving con fession. Let those who are not dwelling in Rome believe, if they will, that there was no corruption of testimony or of judgment—that six or eight Pontifical gendarmes told the truth—that the French soldiers, one of whom struck wildly about with his bayonet in the struggling crowd, were cool and credible spectators—and that the six reverend monsignori who form the bench of the Sagra Consults all equitably weigh:d the decision which they support by a garbled statement, a malicious commentary, and perverse assumptions of fact. Let the court and the witnesses be honest, is it not clear that to this private manner of trial. a feature which accords with the essential spirit of the Papal government, the wrongful death of Locatelli is due 1 There is another feature in the affair more grievous still. After the trial was rumoured, for it was never announced to have taken place, Castrucci lingered in Rdme six or seven days, because he did not think the sentence could be executed so soon am the following week. Felons who have perpetrrted the most atrocious murders are here brought to the scaffold many months, or several years after their lives are doomed to for feiture ; there is one now, a noted robber, whose execution is said to be appproaching for having killed a geudarme, not from any political motive, but in personal vengeance, one Sunday morning in the Piazza Montanara, about a year ago. Castrucci went away, therefore, on the 13th, believing there would be ample time for his declaration to take effect, and when be got to Florence he wrote to a certain bland monsignor, charged with the police administration of Rome, to say what he had to say. There was sonic rumour of this, and I learn that one of the Pope's chamberlains asked the monsignor if he had received such a letter ; to which monsignor answered yes, but that he did not think it worth attention. Castrucci then, getting no reply from the Roman authorities, gave himself up to those of Florence • but by that time the Pope's guillotine had been set in operation to rid the Pope's monarchy of one troublesome subject, who was not, however, as I am assured by all who knew him, at all an 11-behaved man in any other relations of life. Poor brave Locatelli ! Questa mw l Cultism gangue die si sparge per Cltatxi. I fear, not quite the last. • THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. I (THIS DAY.)

In February, 1860, the Eastern Counties Rail way authorities at London announced that Algernon Sydney Lumby, a clerk in their employ, had absconded ; and in the warrant issued for his apprehension he was charged with taking with him 1001., the property of his employers. From the very earnest manner in which he has been hunted up and looked for by the company's police-superin tendon; Mr. Kent, it is thought that the amount appro. prided is more than 1001. Mr. Kent has visited the Con tinent in seareh of his man ; and after full many a fruitless jouroey in this country, having travelled " some thousands of miles'—his own expression--during the period of a year and nearly eight months, in which Lumby has been at large, he Ma at length succeeded in apprehending the missing defaulter at the fashionable watering place of Scarborough, where he has been resident during the sum mer sermon. He is a musical man, and at an early pert of the summer he took en engagement as pianist at a music room attached to the Old Spa Inn, and known as the St. George's-ball. He was announced u " Mr. Sydney Staples, pupil of Professor Sterzdale Bennett" The company of performers with whom he was associated have been chiefly buffo singers and dement rather above the vulgar stamp of similar artists. While in Scarborough he has been living in a quiet, orderly, 'and respectable manner, his wife residing with him in a cottage house in the upper part of the town. His apprehension was brought about as fol lows :—A few days ago, a gentleman who was personally acquainted with Lumby, and was acquainted with the fact of his having absconded, was visiting Scarborough ; and amongst other " lions" of the place, be went to the Casino or mime-room above-named, for an evening's entertainment. He was at once struck with the resemblance the pianist bore to the missing clerk, Lumby. The only difference appeared to be, that really Lumby 's forehead was rather bald, but the pianist's cranium was covered all over. However, on his return home, he saw Mr. Kent, the officer above named, and mentioned his suspicion. Mr. Kent at once came down to Scarborough, and on Saturday evening last, in company with Mr. Roberts, superintendent of the Saar borough force, went to the scene of Lumby's musical labours. After satisfying himself that he had at last secured his gams, Mr. Kent went up to him (at the end of one of the soap, so as not to disturb the audience), and introduced himself in a familiar but respectful manner, the two shaking hands together apparently very cordially. Mr. Kent told him he had ' come for him ;" and though he allowed him to finish the evening's performance, he lost sight of him. He was brought to the police office at a late hour on Saturday night, and on Sunday night he was taken to London, in the custody of Mr. Kent. Lumby was, we understand, one of the wages clerks of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and consequently would have frequent opportunities for embezzling the money of the company.—Lards Mercury. It appears from some recent statistical returns, that the average of the duration of human life in Frown, which from 1823 to 1850 was 40 years, has goes on dortesaring ever since, aid is now scareely more than 37.

Mr. Goodchild, Mr. James Coed, and Mr. Harding. After the audit of accounts, the balancesheet will be submitted to the members at the aunual meeting next December. The third estate acquired in Hertfordshire, and the thin' portion of the Woodbury Park estate, Tun bridge Wells, were allotted on Wednesday, the 17th of July last. The reds and drains on the last-mentioned property are progressing rapidly, and the completion of the works on the Hertford estate, including a com plete eystem of sewerage, will be forthwith proceeded with. The marked success which attended this year the allotments of the second and third portions of the Woodbury Park estate induced the executive committee (as but a small quantity of land now remains unallotted) to purchase another freehuld property at Tunbridge Wells immediately adjoining the first estate, of which originally it formed a pert. The ouly communication to this newly acquired land was from the London.rusil, but the society will make additional openings through the Queen's-road, and thus fa cilitate a new access to the tows and station through the Woodbury-park estate. The allotment of the new property (on which are sixteen substantially built cottages) is fixed for Wednesday, the 16th of October. Although Bees borough House and a portion of the lloehampton Park have been sold, there still remain on hand about thirty acres of valuable freehold building land to be disposed of, and it is the intention of the executive com mittee to offer the sane, or a part thereof, under the allotment system in the ensuing spring. Os the 7th of September laid, the niuth year et the Cm. servative Land Society was completed, and the executive committee have commenced their duties for the tenth year with de conviction that the social and commercial advert tape which hart been already secured for all classes of the community will be increased as the system is better under stood by the general public. It has 'peen the aim of the board to discourage wild and visionary speculation, and to net the prosperity of the society on a sound sod safe basis, both for the monetary investor and the purchaser of free- I hold land." NARROW ESCAPE OF MR. BLAKE, M.P. DRUIVNINU. FROM One of the bon. members for the city of Water ford has had a very narrow escape from drowning in Tramore. Mr. Blake went to bathe at a time when the tide was full out, and at low water spring tides the waterir cedes so far as to bring some dangerous holes within reach. These holes are formed by the violent action of the waves during storms, and are not always in the same spot. Mr. Blake was in company with Mader Gallwey, son of Healy I Oa] lwey,Eaq ~ who remained on shore in charge of Mr. Blake's dog, and while doing so he perceived :dr. 1/1311(0 struggling in the water, and gave the alarm to a bathing man, named Kelly, who immediately got the life-buoy, which has been the means of saving many lives. norms little delay occulted in consequence of the fouling of the line, but Kelly threw off his boots, and rushed with the life-buoy into the water, and flung it to Mr. Blake, who had twice sunk and rose to the surface just in time to seize the buoy, and he was drawn from the deep water by the line attached to iN On reaching Kelly he was so faint as to be unable to stand. and that man and his son carried him ashore, where he was rubbed, swathed in flannel, and took some brandy, which revived him. Had it not been for prompt assistance, the result might have been fatal—Wait/ord Mail. SINGULAR SCENE AT THE LEEDS PARISH CBURCZ-BIGAMY PREVENTED. A somewhat unusual eceue occurred on Sunday morning last, at our parish church. A man named James Grayson, • painter by trade, accompauied by • female who hoped shortly to be his bride, awl also by • brides maid, &c., presented himself fur marriage. The cere rueny—rouducted by the Itev.4. F. Wood—had proceeded undisturbed until the rev. gentleuuw was ou the point of asking the all important question " Wilt thou have this woman r &4 . , when the congregation were surprised, if not &maned, to observe a pretty-looking woman, in breath. leas baste, anal with anxiety depicted on her countenance, rushing into the church and to the altar rails, where the claimed the man about to be united to another as her bus. band. The ceremony was, of course, suspernled impair diately, and an adjournment to th e vestry was neces sary. There, with the greatest possible coolness and determination, the fellow entirely repudiated the im peachment, and gruffly declared that be had never seen the woman before. Naturally shocked at this, the wife replied that they tad lived together until $ o'clock on the previous evening, when ha left her, taking with him • box containing various articles, and representing that he was about to pay a visit his friends. Still, however, he persistently denied thatwas married, and the female, store, in confirmation of her called Mr. Wood's recollection to the fact that be himaelgf officiated at the marriage up wards of two years ago. The register lancing beau ex amined, an entry of the marriage of the female with Grayson, in May, 1859, ws4 found, but lie even then denied, without • blush or stammer, that he was the man. Waxing indignant, and being desirous of convincing the woman whom her husband had duped, the wife described the box which Grays.* took away, and its con tents, including three pictures, it small timepiece, wearing apparel, its. The father of the wife was also sent for, and he confirmed his daughter's statement. They were nuuvied, he stated, au that church, two years previously, they had lived together very comfortably .tone, and the huslisnd bad never been absent • single night Wore the previous Saba, day. The "bride," at length satisfied that she had been the victim of deceit, said she was "flurried a bit"—as well she might be—and thought she had better go. Her friends, pitying her disappointment, accompanied her, and Grayson and his wife ware thou left behind in the vestry. When concealment was no longer possible, he acknowledged his wife, asked where she was going, said he bad had no breakfast, and he would go with her. They then left the church together, apparently on the most sinkable terms, and walked homewards to their matitutinal meal. He had possibly anticipated • more ambitious repast ; for we understand that the gentleman with whom the young female be so basely deceived had resided, had ordered a wedding breakfast to be prepared for the bridal party. It appears that for the publication of the banns Grayson had given his name as James Shaw, of Grey's-walk, and he Lad mho givens fictitious surname to his father, who is a painter at Woodhouse. It is supposed that he intended to leave the country, as be bad not only removed various articles from the house, but bad also withdrawn from a building slab the money he had invested. That uo punishment can be inflicted upon this fellow for his baseness is much to be regretted, and he ought to esteem himself fortunate that his wife appeared just when she did, or ho might sow have been the subject of criminal proceedings.—Lulu .11'credry. THE VAGRANCY LAVAL-OR Monday three gillS whose tongues betrayed them to be of cockney bath, were brought before the Rev. T.
