TO OUR READIER& SPORTING nrruziamicE A Lite edition of the Express ii publishe.l every eeenieg during the racing season, containing the multi of the tlar's recce. Sows human beings are born to ill-fortune, and ware some neighbourhoods. "Born under an un lucky star" is but an old-fashioned mode of ex pressing something like a truth. It is all very well to any that character is fate, and that arduous or adverse circumstances are to be controlled. It is a fact that there am men with whom everything, from the cradle to the grave, goes awry. We are not speaking of the outcasts and Arabi of eo ciety who have had no ,chance ; hut of a sulecter sort of well-born, well-bred, well-educated people, who in spite of advantages and oppor tunities, family, name, favourable position desirable social relations, have lived to little pur pose, and died "under a cloud. " What mortal eye can pierce the infinite mysteries that make up man's ilortiny Is it some defect of organization, some vice of temperament, or is it accident, temp tation, or association, that has made a failure of all that early promise, and cankered all that bud ding expectation I Who shall say t It may be something wanting to that due balance and ad justment of mind and matter which is indispen sable to felicity and adroitness in what is called the conduct of life, to hid and mastery in bulimia dealings. Whatsoever it may be, who has not met such cases of continual and me:apt:Oiled mishap t Nothing goes well with him, nothing ho does succeeds, one often hears said of a person who has suffered no actual dis credit or reverse. Not but that a " bad name " is often an equally unexplained fatality ; but the worst of a bed name is that it is sure to justify itself, soon or late. And so, too, there are homes, and streets, and gardens, and horses, and ships, and whole neighbourhoods with a "bad name," not always explained or justified, which clings to them like a disease. It is often very difficult to dis cover the origin of the bad name of certain neigh bourhoods. But in MIA cases ill name means ill fame, and ill fame has a tendency to develop like a fungoid growth, and to spread itself around in all manner of excrescences. In large cities, of course, there must be bad neighbourhoods above ground corresponding to the sewers below, into which the necessary filth of a decorous civilization is cast. In most European cities, however, these moral sewers are limited to certain quarters, where they are administered and organised like any other department, under the supervision of the State. The particularity of London is, that in the very heart and centre of the town, close beside, behind, all round the broadest, the cleanest, and the richest thoroughfares, the stranger becomes entangled in a network of low and narrow lines of houses dedicated to squalor, mammy, disease, and infamy. It is our national custom to wink the eye so hard at evils which are not supposed to exist, that our streets most sacred to wealth and fashion, and to all the decencies of "Carriage company," overflow by night and even by day with the scum and spawn of phosphorescent foulness from the salt lakes that lie behind these glittering facades. Occasionally a good Christian stands at the corners of the courts and alleys with a tract, and an invitation to tea ; and we should be the last to deride the geutle courage that fears uo ridicule in such a cause. But while these Samaritan enthusiasts are fishing for stray Magdalena, the swollen and reckless stream of corruption rushes by, insolent and exulting. From Piccadilly to Pall-mall, frost the Haymarket to Long-acre, certainly ; to t s: re mote or secluded district, extends the Row of rancid and reeking "life," in all its maw splendour. This is the " feature " of London which to the lively foreigner is as the candle be the moth. From his observations and experiences in this brilliant centre of the capital of England the lively foreigner is apt to proceed to bold generalizations of English life, - manner& and society. Why not t It is not that he finds on this favoured spot a successful imitation of the Troy ho has left on the other side of the water ; for the cookery is greasy, the cigars are dear, the inhabitants are dull ; he cannot speak the lan guage, and he is not addicted to shellfish. But it is because the Haymarket and Leicester-square are, in fact, or ought to be, a well-ordered and re spectable "quarter," judging by the map of London. What Leicester-square and the Haymarket are, in 'pits, of their situation, in spite of magistrates, ratepayers, clergy, and police, let the Memorial we published yesterday bear witness. It was a Memorial addressed to the Board of Overseers of the parish of filt. Martin's-in-the-Fields by some seven-and-twenty householders in Leicester-square, many of the signatures representing firms of the highest character—hotel-keepers, booksellers, auc tioneers, and various wealthy and fiourishiag tradesmen. They represent the notorious nuisances of the neighbourhood as increasing enor mously ; such as "betting men, street musicians, " vagrant mountebanks." If these were the only grievances of the Memorialists, they would deserve sympathy, but their ease would be too common for special notice. Leicester-square, however, is an instance of one of those very fatalities we were speaking of just now. It looks, at the first glance, like a deserted settlement of bankrupt gambling houses and sold up stews, with a violated ceme tery in the midst. At certain hours, and in cer tain lights, it looks like a haunt and hiding-place THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1861. of senile and bizarre atrocities, where curiosities of vice, just hinted in the most realist of French novels, might fester and rot in rank profusion. And yet at wholesome hours ; of an afternoon, when the sun is up, and a fresh breeze is blowing, even Leieesere-square looks for all the world like a debauches, reclaimed and in search of honesty and health. But mark the irony of fate ! Upon that violated cemetery a monstrous mass of bricks sprung up ten years ago like a wen, draining the impoverished vitality of the Square. The wen is cured ; but around the side of the cemetery foul birds and noisome animals make a habitat which no policeman over disturbs. Nor are "the budding. standing in the enclosed " space of Leicester-square " the only source " of annoyance and injury " of which the Me morialists complain. There are, besides, "the " vast columns of dense smoke which issue from " the chimney of the Government waterworks in " Orange-street," and " are most detrimental to " the health of the inhabitants." Street musicians and wandering mountebanks are trivial maladies, indeed, in such a region ; but worse than all these are, as the Memorialists declare, " houses of ill fame where the very worst " practices are carried on." Indeed, letters which we have ourselves received froni respectable rate payers in the Square speak of " horrors which "have existed long about this neighbourhood ;" and truly they are horrors which the pen refuses to describe. Now these Memorialists naturally and properly ask : Cannot these flagrant nuisances and horrors be abated I Is the Police Act insuffi cient to provide a remedy I " If," says a cone spondent, "we see a policeman by chance, he says " he has no authority to interfere ; or that if he " does go up to the magistrate, the magistrate " will not convict. I have myself repeatedly cons . " planted to the Chief Commissionerof Police about " the various nuisancesexisting, and the only satin " faction I get is a reply that the police cannot " interfere under the circumstances stated—Mr. tt has done the same." The results, not to morality only, but to the value of property, are I hardly surprising. We hear of one considerable trades man spending 5001. out of his own pocket in vain efforts to suppress the evil in the If aymarket. Owners of valuable house property cannot get decent tenants because of the growth of infamy about the neighbourhood, and are glad to sell at a sacri fice. " Many of the houses are trust property " managed by agents, who let for the highest rent " they can get, and seem to take no trouble to " inquire who or what the people are who take " them." All this is certainly • crying evil and disgrace, and it is difficult to imagine that the law is powerless to remove it ; and still more difficult to believe that magistrates are unwilling to enforce the law. On the lowest ground it is contrary to the immediate interests of the class who make our laws and who administer them in this country to suffer such abominationsto flourish with impunity. But here the old question occurs : Quid (ryes sine muribus t' It is an ill state of things when laws for the protection of public decency are abandoned by a tacit consent and despair, because the evil has grown beyond the law. We hope it is not yet come to this, even in Leicester-square. No one who has been obliged to pass through that neighbourhood in the small hours of the night but must have seen cause to fear that the police were on very easy and comfortable terms with public virtue.

THE PRINCE OF• W4LAS. --..- His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales took his departure from Ireland on Thursday evening, bearing with him the kindest wishes of all cloaca in the community, who have been most favourably impressed by his un assuming, frank, and courteous demeanonr. His Royal Highness spent his last day in Ireland in the inspection of name of the must attractive features of the beautiful soenery of the county of Wicklow. He was accompanied by his Excellency the Loral-Lieutenant, the Hon. Misers latecelles, Viscount sod Lady Mooch, the Hon. General Bruce, Colonel Keeled, Mr. Cockerel!, A.D.C., Mr. Hatchell, his excellency's private secretary, Mr. Creyke, and other members of the Lord-Lieute. oant's household. The royal party were received at the station by the Hon. G. Handoock, chairman of the company, and Mr. Dorgan, one of the directors, by whom they were ounducted to one of the large and handsome saloon iarriages in use on this line. As the train moved out of the station a loud cheer burst from the numerous spectators who had obtained admission to the platform, and similsr demonstrations of attachment to the Prince took plan at Dundrum and the other intermediate stetions. Bray, where his Royal Highness alighted, wore quite a holiday aspect. AU the Nikkei* of this charming water. log place appeared to have turued out to du honour to their royal visitor, and nags and banners of every de. ecription were displayed from the station, from Breslin's Marine Hotel, the houses in the handsome terrace opposite it, which in future is to he called " The Prince of Wales Terrace," and from a great many of the private residences in the town. The Prince and party drove immediately to the Dares, through which they walked, the carriages being sent round to meet them at the gate opposite to the en' trance to Powerscourt Demesne. The Prince looked fresh and vigorous, notwithstanding that be bad danced most indefatigably during the previous night at the Lord Mayor's ball, and did not retire until three o'clock in the morning, when, it may he mentioned, he received a perfect ovation from the COlllpaoy. His Royal I fighnese appeared to enjoy very much the romantic scenery of the Lamle. Ho strolled leisurely through it, and examined every feature of interest, " the Fishermaa'a Cave," the pretty moss house, where a pie-nic party had just arranged the materials for their al fresco repast, and " the Lovers Leap," from which a splendid view of the thickly wooded glen and of the charmiug scenery of Powers court is obtained. The Prince remained at this p o int for several miens's, and seated on the projecting rock from which the " Leap" is said to have been taken, surveyed the beautiful prospect. There were but few persons in the Dargle, sod the privacy of the petty was not intruded upon. On I passing through one of the gates the old woman who keeps the lodge expressed her delight at having seen the Prince, ' whom she described as the tall young gentleman wearing the cocked hat and feathers. On being informed of her mistake, and told that the gentleman thus distinguished by his dress was his Excellency's aide-decamp, she evinced the greatest disappointment that she had lost so favourable an opportu. ray of seeing the heir to the throne. She was, however, 'educed to overcome her diffidence ; and adopting • hint given by one of the spectators, ran after the party till she reached a somewhat elevated position, from which she caught a glimpse of his Royal Highness, whereupon she expressed her satisfaction by exclaiming fervently, "God bless acid spare him." The Priace and the several members of his party having taken their sea in the carriages, then drove through Charleville, the picturesque and well-kept demesne of Lord Monett, and thence to the Waterfall, where luncheon, supplied by Mr. Breslin, was laid on the gram in genuine pic-nic style. After luncheon and • thorough in spection of the scenery, they returned through Powersoourt deenesoe, and by the Rocky-valley, stopping for • short time at Kilruddery, the beautiful seat of the Earl of Meath. They reached the Bray station at 6 o'clock, where they were received by the Hon. G. Handeock, Mr. Dargan, and Mr. H. Roe. A special train was provided by the company to convey his Royal Highness to K ingstown, and it was driven on this occasion by Mr. Houghton, C.F.., the locomotive superinten dent, the other arrangements being carried out under the personal supervision of Mr. Harris, the very efficient textile manager. The departure of the train was marked by an enthusiastic burst of applause from the assembled crowd. When the train arrived at Carlisle Pier, the Prince was greeted with the most cordial marks of respect by • vast concourse of persons who bad assembled, and who occupied every available position from which his departure could be witnessed. A guard of honour from the 19th Regiment was stationed on the platform, and General Sir O. Browne, attended by his staff, was in waiting to my adieu to the Royal Colonel of the Guards. The regiment presented arms when the Prince alighted from the carriage, and the band played the Nattered Anthem as entered the Munster, commanded by Captain Williams, which was placed at his service by the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company. Sir J. K. James, Bart., the chairman of the company, was is attendance, and accompanied the Prince on board. Amongst those who sailed with his Royal High ness were the Hon. Edward and Henry Lesson. The Prince of Wales having shaken hands with the Lord Lieu tenant and bade him farewell, the Munster was loosed from her moorings precisely as half-past 6 p.m., and steamed out of the harbour amidst the firing of a royal @elute from her Majesty's ship Ajax and a general and • hearty cheer from the spectators. His Excellency and the members of his household returned to town by special train.—Saundtrie Nees letter. His Royal Highness the General Commanding is-Chief is expected in lowa from Germany about the middle of next week. The Warrior will leave her moorings at Green halts on Thursday next, the 19th inst., and if nothing amiss should happen, she will make her appearance at Spithead on the following day. The spring tidos will answer for the ship to be docked on Saturday, and when that operation has berm performed, she will very shortly afterwards proceed an her trial cruise. The squadron under the command of Near-Ad miral Sir A. Nitta, K.C.8.,0n thawed of North MIMIC" cad the West India, consists of twenty effective reads, amongst which there are two 2nd rates, font 4th rates, three 6th rats., eight sloops, four guacamole, sad two gunboats. In addition to these, there are several tenders. The squad ron is manned, in round unmans, by 6,600 men, and mounts upwards of 503 guns. The United Serrice Garotte states that both divi sions of the Channel fleet, under the commands sevendly of Rear• Admiral Smart and Rear• Admiral &shine, have been ordered to rendezvous at Boreheven. A correspondent of the Army and Nary Gazette draws attention to what appears to be very like a deliberate waste of human life at our great camp. "At Aldershoit. 4 be says, "there is a certain pontoon bridge across the canal.

Several of the columns of the Gardeners' Chronicle an this week filled with a report of the put harvest from various parte of the country. According to these fauna there has been over the larger part of the island a toe harvest mouth since the fanner date. Is the aorth sad west the weather has been wet and diflcalt for harvest work. Even in the south and midlsnd England, however, the wheat is almost everywhere ascribed ae below an average. But while the crop la desertlied as ander average —a sack, a quarter, one-fourth, 10 baobab, and even one-half in one place under average—yet the bushels which have been harvested are heavier and contain mush better tour and much more of it thee they did last year. The quality of the crop is a thing affecting its vrlue to the grower and to the consumer quite as much as the quantity ; and the great weight and floe sample of the new wheat will go • great way towards redeeming the character of the crop.

A Paris correspondent of the Indipendanec of yesterday evening says: The first minister of the kingdom of Italy has, it appears, soot, or is ou the point of sending. new proposals to the Court of Rome, with a view to a settlement of the difficulty between the Pope and Italy. M. iii this final appeal to the feeliogs of Pius IX., has clearly laid down the conditions of a reconciliation which, in the opinion of all unprejudiced persons, can ►loco save the intermits of religion already so seriously compromised by the conduct of the Papal govern ment. In asking from the Pope theabdication of his temporal power, Italy offers to the papacy every possible security and advantage which it could require in the interest of the iode pendeoce of the church, and in that of the spiritual autho rity of the head of catholicity—complete freedom in all the arrangements relating to the religious movement— a personal position surrounded by all the splendour and security which the faithful of Italy and the catholic world could require for their Pontiff. The Italian govern. meat would even assign to the Pope, if I am well informed, a pert of the city of Rome, in which he would exercise sovereign rights, in which he would have with him the Sacred College and all the functionaries who, with him, are charged with watching awl protecting the interests of the catholic religion. If I have rightly understood the Information, which I derive from a good source, his Holiness would be considered as the spiritual representative of all the catholic powers of the world, and in his part of the eternal city he would enjoy all the immunities belonging to sovereigns, arch as inviolability of territory, independent jurisdiction, By thee getting rid of a burden which is only an obstacle to the spread of faith and religious ideas, the Pope would secure for the church an efficacious direction in matters ecclesiastical—a direction which would be lees disputed, and less liable to dispute, as it would not be antagonistic either to the rights of nationality or to any other political interest. From what we know of the seri timente of those who form the council of the Holy Father, we entertain no greater hope that these proposals of M. Ricasoli will be more favourably received than were those which preceded this ultimatum—for in the actual state of the affairs of Italy, this project of the Italian cabinet has quite the character of an ultimatum. THE ITALIAN PROTEST AND THE FRENCH OCCUPATION. General della Revere, the new Lieutenant-Gene ral of Sicily, has issued a proclamation to the Sicilians recommending them not to sign the protest of the party of action against the French occupation of Rome, " which," he says, " will only injure the Italian cause and postpone the evacuation of Rome, by sowing distrust between our government and the government of France, which is our faithful ally. Confide in the loyalty of the Ring, iu the firmness of the go vernment, and in the tranquillity of Garibaldi him self." The Armenia contains • long petition to Napo leon 111., which thus concludes :—" Our petition, sire, reduced to a few words is this : As you send to Rome as ambassador M. Lavalette, previously your ambassador at Constantinople, order him to behave towards the Holy Father and the Pontifical government as ho has behaved towards the Sultan and. the government of Turkey." lish and Belgian textures, which pay duty ed ea/omm. The other porta of France, and the other Custom-houses on the Belgian frontier, which are already open for the transit of unprohibited goods, may also in future receive thin textures of English and Belgian manufacture, but only fur transit. The payment of the import duties on Belgian and English textures imported into Algeria can only be effected at the port of Algiers. ITALY. ROME, Szrr. 12. The free importation of wheat, maize, oil, and of all articles of consumption, has been authorised in the Pontifical provinces. The exportation of the above articles is prohibited. ROME, Barr. 10 (via Marseilles). General Goyon has sent nearly all his troupe, even those which occupied Vitello, to take up posi tions alone the northern and southern frontiers of the Papal territory. The police have seized the list of Roman subscrip tions to the Cavour monument. TURIN, Barr. 13. The Daniell Minister will accompany the King to Florence. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of to-day, confirms the news that the American Minister had gone to Caprera for the purpose of offering to Gari baldi a command in the Federal army. The Diritto of to-day says :—" We regret that we cannot give a denial to the rumour of the acceptance of this offer by Garibaldi" TURIN, Ram 12. Baron Rican°li will accompany the King to Florence. NAPLES., Barr. 12, Evasnuo. General Tuppati, the commander of the National Guard, has issued an order of the day in which he says that the Inc of the 7th inst. was a fresh avowal before Europe of the wish of the Neapolitan people for an United Italy. A letter from General Cial dini to the Commander of the National Guard has also been published, in which he congratulates the people and the National Guard, and says the latter rival the best troops. FLORENCE, Barr. 13. The Nations of to-day publishes a letter from Rome, dated 10th inst., announcing that a demon stration, which the papal party had prepared for the Bth inst., proved a failure, the national party having, during the preceding night, hoisted tri coloured flags on all the public monuments. Similar demonstrations have taken place at Tivoli, Villetri, Frascati, Albano, and Grotaferata. Numerous arrests have been made in consequence. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Barr. 14. In consequence of the convocation of the Tran sylvanian Diet, Baron Kemeney, Anna Councillor of Transylvania, has tendered his resignation, which has been accepted by the Emperor. VIENNA, Su?. 13. The Transylvanian Diet has been convened for the end of October at Carlsburg. The elections in Istria so far are favourable to the government, and it appears certain that deputies will be sent to the Reichsrath. VENICF., Elerr. 12. The official Gamtia di Vericia of to-day publishes a telegram from Vienna asserting that the Hunga rian Diet will be convened for the Ist of December next. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, Srpr 13. Mr. Orla Lehmann will shortly enter the cabinet as Minister of Justice. lie was minister in 1848, and since then has been a leading member of the national liberal WV. He has also for many years supported the idea of granting an independent position to Holstein, and rendering Denmark and Schleswig independent of the Germanic Diet. GARIBALDI AND THE AMERICANS. M. H. Ferrier, a well-known French journalist, who has gone to Italy as special correspondent for the Correspondence Brinier at the Florence Eihi bitiou, writes from Turin, under date of Septem ber 11, as follows : "Piero is my great news. Garibaldi is going to America. President Lincoln has offered I him the command in chief of the Federal army. Garibaldi hesitated at first, but it seems that, yielding to the pressing solicitations of the Ameri can minister at Brussels, he has decidedly accepted. If Garibaldi goes to America it cannot be doubted that he considers his aasistauce to his Cara Polio as henceforth unnecessary; perhaps also he thinks that in propping up staggering liberty in America, he will incidentally do service to the cause of liberty in Europe. But is it not to be feared that the absence of the legendary luau' will strengthen the hopes of the reaction r' On the other hand, the Turin correspondent of La Phase says :—" The departure of the United States minister at Brussels for Caprera is confirmed, but I do not thiuk we must, on that amount, draw the conclusion that his object is to invite Garibaldi to America. I have obtained informa tion on this subject, which I have every reason to believe correct. About 15 days ago a deputa tion, sent officially by Mr. Lincoln, waited on Garibaldi for the purpose of offering him the com mand of the Federal army. The General was to be allowed the widest latitude and the most com plete liberty in the selection of his generals and companions in anus. Garibaldi, while thanking the citizens of the union for this mark of confuleuce, replied ' that there was still too much to do in Italy,' and that he could not think of leaving it. After so precise an answer it is doubtful whether the President of the United States would renew the offer, especially in an official manner." THE CZAR OF RUSSIA AT SEBAHTOPOL The Emperor and Empress of Russia arrived at Sebsatopol on the 4th, and there laid the first stone of the Church of Saint-Wladimir. They after wards took pert in a commemorative ceremony, at the cemetery, fur General Gortchakoff end all the Russians who were killed in defending SebastopoL Next day they went over the field of Inkermann. MONTENEGRO. The Nord of to-day says :—" In our corres pondence from Vienna frequent allusion is made to a proximate military iuterventiou of Austria. The governor of Dalmatia, who is at present in Vienna, has been informed that the whole Montenegrin population, able to carry sane, have risen to fight against their Turkish invaders. The mountaineers are abundantly provided with arms and ammuni tion, even with complete and organised batteries. The same correspondence speaks of the excited state of Belgrade, and it is the confidant belief at Vienna that wheu the contest in Montenegro shall have taken a decisive character, Servia cannot remain passive. Servis has already a strong body of well-disciplined troops, and when the new militia law shall have been brought into operation, it will have a larger force than that of the Turkish general. Austria is only waiting for the intervention of Berrie to enter these provinces herself. We here see what projects are afoot, and, if the other powers do not interfere, the treaty of Paris might as well be torn in pieces." (awn:es rums FRANCE. PAWS, 842 r. 14.

Mom oos OWN 00NRWSPONDINT. ) PARIS, FamLy Evwwo. The news given by several evening papers, that the author of the late famous pamphlet is about to publish a second one, is announced in the following curious form by the Pays We learn that the anonymous author (now known) of the pamphlet, " The Emperor, Rome, and the King of Italy," is at this moment preparing another at Turin, which he will endeavour to attribute to an official source. If we are well informed, the sou of a celebrated Polish post is commissioned to get this pamphlet printed in Paris. _ . . . What an odd way is this of giving information to the public ! If the name of the anonymous author is known, why not state it 1 The public would then be in a better position than it is now to judge of the value of the production, which it appears to be intended to discredit, while at the same time the mere shadow of its advent is announced with a mysterious fracas which cannotfail to procure for it a large circulation. What can it signify that a son of a Polish poet is to have something to do with the printing of it 1 Why is this perfectly immaterial circumstance paraded in large type as latest news, dated "4 o'clock," while the name of the autho-, from which some instructive inference might pos. ably have been drawn, is kept back The above government journal, also at "4 o'clock," reproduces the conjecture of the indipeudases that the projected interview between the Emperor and the King of Prussia will take place at Btrai= burg, and that of the Nord that it is to be at Com piegne, adding its own valuable opinion that Com piegne will " probably "be the plane. But while thus particular about an entirely secondary circum stance, the Pays evidently knows nothing about the really considerable question whether the difficul ties in the way of the interview taking place at all , have been got over. The latest date, which has been very confidently mentioned, is October 2 ; if the interview is not to take place at or about that time it stands over to the Greek Kalends, and neither the writer in the Pays nor anyone else knows the when or the where. But in another column of this evening's Pays, I find the following , paragraph : We read in the Echo de roise, "Several Paris journals announce that an interview will take place on Oct. 2, at the palace of Compiegne, between the Emperor of the French and the King of Prussi►. Notwithstanding the unanimity at theme affirmations, we believe that the date assigned far this interview at Compiegne is erroneous. It is a l most certain that the court will arrive at Compiegne this year towards the middle of October; but it is not expected wooer, and no orders have been given to hasten the pre. wattage' for their reception." This is good practical upholstering evidence which comes to the local journal from the prefect's office, and, therefore, is more reliable than the paragraphs concocted in Paris, to throw dust in people's eyes. I suppose the truth to be, that as October 2is now inconveniently near, and it will soon be known to all the world that the King of Prussia will not see the Emperor on that day, either at Strasburg or Plombieres, the Pop is in struct.si to suggest Compiegne, in order that when October 2 comes it may be supposed that the only reason for the delay of the interview is the cony.- ' nienoe of the French ouurt, which it will be said could not come to Compiegne so soon as was ex pected. Depend upon it that the Emperor himself does not yet know that the Kiug of Prussia will come to Frame at all. The Pays is rich iu official inconsistencies this evening. Iu a column of " latest news" other than the 4 o'clock one, and not dated at any particular hour, it states that the publication of documents on the affair of Ville-la-Grand (the locus in quo of the mount row between some Savoyards and Swiss) is " premature, because the inquiry is not yet ter minated." So far a very good reason is given for suspending judgment, but the Pays goes ou to make theassertion—evidently premature on its own showing—that France will turn out to be in the right, and must have the ompouration from Swit zerland which she demands. Thu French "public instructors" have left their readers under the impression for several days that the Marquis de Lavalette had gone to Biarritz to take the Emperor's instructions previous to his de parture fur Rome, but they now say that the newly-appointed ambassador has been all the while in Scotland, whence he has just arrived in Paris " direct," the rumour of his having been in London being also unfounded. The present story is that he will wait in Paris till the Emperor comes. The Bourse, which was heavy 41 day, gave way sensibly at the close in consequence of some large sales being pressed. unfavourable returns of the Bank of France excited attention. Rente fell I
