Oyu well-infeemed Paris correspondent, writing ea Wednesday evening, says :—" The Estrehoe's " letter to the Porn has been most favourably re " oeived by the public of Paris. I doubt whether " he ever did a more popular thing than to make it " public, together with the Pores grossly insulting " attack upon him." This is not by any means star. prising. If the pamphlet was welcomed simply became it announced a liberal Italia° policy rupposed to be favoured in high quarters, the EMPEROR'S letter, reiterating in measured bat decisive language the same policy, would, of course, be received with still greather enthusiasm. This feeling is all the stronger from the state of uncertainty in which the ultimate fete of the Romagna has been involved. seemed not improbable that a strong effort would be made to reduce again the revolted subjects of the Pore to the feeble and cruel role from which they had stomped. Such a result would, in fact, have stultified the whole Italian campaign, as most liberal and intelligent Frenchmen keenly felt. They naturally therefore regarded the rumoured Con gress with suspicion, fearing that diplomatic intrigue might, in part at least, destroy what French valour had gained for the hillier's. That doubt is now finally dispelled. The EMPEROR has at length de cided that the Legations must retain their newly acquired freedom ; and he intimates this decision to the HOLY ?Arnett by recommending him "to awl " lice the revolted provinces." If the now celebrated letter, conveying tide pointed suggeetion, is peculiarly welcome at Paris, it will be still more cordially received in title country. As a whole it is perhaps the best we have ever received from the same Imperial pen. It takes a liberal, statesmanlike, and we may aid, thoroughly English view of the whole question. It is the more interesting too, as it shows the steps by which the writer has gra dually strived at his present more enlarged and liberal scheme of Italian policy. He has been strongly infia *coed by the " inexorable logic of facie." We see no reason to doubt this statement. It explains and interprets much that has been ambiguous and vacil lating in the Earahoe's candela. When he entered .Italy in U. spring, he probably had no intention whatever of coming into collision with the POPS. Ira Hie nature of things, however, this was laterit e's/ie. The temporal power of the BOLT PATHS& is so dependent on the misery and degradatiew net only of his own subject., but of the whale seam, tnat it is almost impossible to help or serve the .Italians in any way without injuring the POPS. The Emperor of the FRENCH soon diaoovered this; and anxious to spare the ficvsasion PONTITT SS iamb as possible, hastily coneladed the peace of Vil ldrena. Here, however, the F reitoit's perplexities. in his double character of friend of Hai, and " Eldest " Sos of the Church," really began. The difilcuities of the war were 411 nothing compared with the dill collies treated by the peace.. To solve them success fully was perhaps impossible. But to attempt a practical *citation iu a smog, spirit, aed arrive at a real, if only provisional, settlement . would be unden e abl e p roo f o f s t a t esmans hip . The Emperor of the Pasteur meat certainly have the credit let having done this, and all the more se as it is preutierly hie owu act. His Ministers were almost liUllilelOWl in urging him to adopt the old. exploded, !savages* policy of de cultic interests. So far from having any independent or original view to offer, they sizip:y repeated, in servile phrsesr the Moot vulgar traditions of despotic diplomacy. The specific of hereditary claims established by foreign arms had been tried over and over again, cad always failed. That would not do. Still, the YJITZKOS was not prepared to accept the antago nrts princip` of the natiocal will—not in the States of the Church, at all events. He had • , .ahem* of internal reform- 0 the administrative sopa -, ration of the Legations tinder a lay governor " which he believes would here induced the revolted provinces to return to their allegiance. " THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY FVE' " pity," this plan was not adepts& found himself " helpless to arrest t a .h i ra a ett "of the new regime." What i s t o now It That is the problem !which the " Wiest Bra of ilas " Church " has to solve. The Heide the Ch does not much help him towards its solution. He prays for armed redress, piously urging the inter- ' vention of Reach bayonet, to destroy the newly establishtd order and good rgovernment of the Romagoa, and re-impair the cruel yoke of Rome. The ''• Eldest Son " sees clearly the mischief and folly of granting the HOLT Fannies prayer." If that sub " mission were obtained Itsy the aid of foreign troops, " it would necessitate rather koroontinued military " occupation of the Laratioas. Such an occupation " would awaken the hatreds and the animosities of a " great portion of the Italian people, se well as the " jealousy of the great powers ; it would, in fact. " perpetuate a state of irritation, of uneasiness, and "of fear." This would obviously be no settlement whatever. It world be the old story over again- a permanent dagger on one side, a permanent scaffold on the other. This " settlement" has made Italy the theatre of violence, revolution, and blood—bas ban a source of perpetual disturbance to Europe for fifty years past. It cannot last for ever. " What then is to be door?" The EXPEIOII, after a eseroas examination of the difficulties and dangers which beset the various solutions presented, replies, that "it is " most in accordance with the true interest, of the Holy Bee to make a sacrifice of the revolted " pavviness" This decision appears simple and easy enough to ea. But we must remember that • devoted EMPEROR, may find great difficulties in scourge of action which appears to us perfectly plain. The EMPBIOR knows that his decision is • " painful" one, and he communicates it to the Hots FATHER with " sincere regret." The fact is, it required some average to take this just and seseiblu view of the am, and the Enresoa has been a long time in making up his mind. However arrived at, the policy now adopted and announced in the letter to the HOLY PATHS.* is • liberal one, and aa such will be heartily wel comed here. The EMPEROR clearly recognises the right of the people to enjoy wolf-government as superior to the hereditary claims of the Church. He has all possible respect and affec tion for the HOLT FATHER, but be has also some regard for the pesos of Europe and the welfare of Italy. Her • Catholic Emperor, but in spite of his devotes to the Holy Bee, he undertook the ltaliaa eampe:gli, and feels that he is in a manner respoa ' sible for it. results. The best of the results, in oar view, is the decisive course which the EMPEROR has at but adopted with regard to the temporal power of the POPE. Alternately flattered and menaced by the partisans of the Pore at home and abroad, he has at length frankly sacrificed the arrogant pretensions of the Church to the inexorable logic of evente—in other words, to the claims of international justice. He has lost something, no doubt—the support of the priests, the sympathy of the Ultramontane press— perhaps, also, the benediction of the HOLY FATHER . But he has gained something too—the lasting pa. titude of the Italian States, the sympathy and admi ration not only of his own subjects, but of every free people. In throwing over the priests in favour of the people, he has, indeed, simply abandoned what an eminent Catholic calls a " prin. " ciple et decay " for one of life and program. We shall not like this new policy of the Eitnizos en the Italian question any the lees because it happens to be our own—the policy which the English Go vernment, the English press, and the English people have universally adopted and firmly maintained; On the contrary, such an agreement on the most momentous question of foreign policy must tend to bring the governments and people of the two coun tries more closely together. If the alliance has been weakened during the horrors of the war and the perplexities of the peace, this proposed settlement must help to strengthen it. Such a result is to be hailed with the sincerest satisfaction. Independent alliance with Preece—always our true interest when it can be attained by honourable means—is now offered in connexion with the noble and liberal policy we have long advocated.

CHINA AND RUSSIA. ~w~wld i A letter from Odessa, in the .Leedust Herald of the 4th instant, says : " The Chinese government has addressed a note to the cabinet of Sr. Petersburg, in which it demands that all the country cm the Amcor now 000npied by Rungs be immediately evacuated, as no legal authorisation exists from his Celestial Majesty fur such occupation. The courier who brought this in telligence also announoed that the Russian mission at Pekin had been placed under surveillance. The only answer the Russian government gave to this demand wu an order for the levy of an army of 60,000 men from the governments of Orenburg and Irkoutsk, which is to be despatched without delay to Manciuria, on the frontiers of China. A division of the army, 20,000 strong, had proceeded from Astrakan to occupy Holahan and Bases, so as to secure the road for the expeditionary army. It was rumoured in Odessa that this corps already occupies the two latter plum. General Mouravielf will have under his orders 80,000 regular troop", bevides the Cossack and Tartar militia, which, when required, can be raised to 60,000 men.

The Prussian Chambers were opened to-day by hie Royal Highness the Prince Regent. The royal speech mentions the event. of European importance which have lately taken place, and states that after the ;oonolusion of pesos, Prussia, on the joint invitation of France and Austria, had declared her readiness to take part in a Congress to deliberate on the proper means foe the pacification of Italy, and the durable consolidation of her internal affairs. The royal speech then recalls the manifestation of the desire for a reform of the Federal Constitution, and says: Prussia will always consider herself the natural representative of the endeavour to ins:melee the strength of the nation and efficaciously promote German interests in general. The Premien Govern ment wishes that the action of the Federal Diet should, in its relation with the constitution of the separate Btates,be confined within the strictest limits of competent intervention. Prussia, therefore, thinks it her duty, in reference to the constitution of ' Electoral Hesse, to recommend the re-establishment of the constitution of 1831, after removing 01 the articles which may be contrary to the Federal Act, as being in wordanee with that principle." The Prince Regent fanner said that, united with his German confederates, he is conatautly endeavour ing to obtain fee the German provinces of Denmark a legitimate eon stitution conformable to the recog nised common law of the country, and to have the interregnum settled in a satisfactory manner. The projects of law to be submitted to the Chambers relate to the question of the land tax, the provincial representation, the limitation of the electoral dis tricts, matrimonial rights, general liability to mili tary service, and the financial measures connected therewith. In conclusion, the Prince Regent said : "It la not the intention of the government to violate the bequest of a great period. The Pruuien army will in future be also the Prussian people in 411111."

C7llox otTa ovirsoiLizerommx7.l PARIS, TILUUDAT EVINING. 31. Emile 01livira'a ease was called on this morn ing before the Court of Correctional Appeals, M. Partarrien-Laffosee presiding. Contrary to general expectation, M. ChM.: d'Eat Ange did not appear iu the procureur-general's chair, which was occup*ied by M. Picard, Advocate-General. The body of the court was almost entirely taken up by barristers in their robes. The small space allotted to the general public was filled at the first rush, and there were several blouses among the crowd. With tba express view of securing ample accommodation for the bar, scarcely any tickets of admission had been issued, and there were no ladies present. When the Coun cil of the Order of Advocates, headed by M. Ploccilie, the batonnier, walked to their places, the whole bar rose to greet them. M. Ploogae took his seat by the side of M. 01!icier, and on an adjoining bench I observed MM. &pryer, Dufaure, Marie, and Bethmout. M. Lion ville was, I believe, prevented by indisposition from attending, bat I think every other member of the council was present. They remained the whole day long in their places, a Rectifies which, considering the immense value of their time, shows how deeply they felt the importance of the occasion. The merits of the cue were not gone into to-day, the only question discussed being one of jurisdiction, and the arguments used were almost entirely of a tech nical character. Curiously enough the positions respectively assumed before the court by the Advocate-General and M. 011iviet's counsel were precisely the converse of those which they had taken up a few days since. When M. 011ivier wanted to enter his appeal with the registrar of this court he we' told there was no registry for such a purpose. To-day M. 011ivier excepted to the jurisdiction, and the Advocate-General supported it. M. Plocque, in • long, learned, and eloquent speech, submitted that the proper court of appeal was that of the united chambers of the Imperial Court sitting as a council of discipline. The Correctional Tribunal, in con demning M. 011ivier, had converted themselves, momentarily and exceptionally, and by virtue of special powers, into a council of discipline; their sentence was a disciplinary, not a correctional one, and therefore the Court of Correctional Appeals had nothing to do with it. M. 011ivier, he said, was inclined to prefer the jurisdiction of this ooart, because it was a public one, whereas the council of discipline sat with closed doors; but he had placed himself in the hands of the council of the order, and tke council felt that a great principle was at stake, and after anxious deliberation they had come to the conclusion that an advocate ought not to renounce the superior guarantees which (be said it with all respect to the present tribunal) were to be found in • court com prising all the presidents of the different chamber.. Moreover, there were arguments of a professional natare--argoments especially applicable to the bar as members of a oonfraternity—which he could not and would not use in a public court. He discussed at great length various precedents, and concluded that the true court of appeal was designated by the nature of the judgment and not by the character of the judges who pronounced it. Advocate- General Picard contended, on the contrary, that no matter what might be the nature of the sentence pronounced by a tribunal of inferior jurisdiction, the appeal always lies to the court of the second degree which is immediately above it. At a very late hour the court pronounced a decree declaring itself competent to entertain the appeal, and fixing Wednesday next for the hearing. It is, however, unlikely that the case will come on then, as the council of the order will probably advise M. 011ivier to appeal against the decree of this day to the Court of Cessation. The Bourse opened with much animation, under the influence of a groat variety of cheering reports. Many people professed to know that the Congress would certainly meet, and even went so far u to fix February 15 for the opening day. Then it was said that Lord Cowley had had a mast satisfactory inter view with the Emperor; that France and England were quite agreed as to the Italian question; that a commercial treaty on a most liberal basis was on foot, and that Cardinal Antonelli had resigned. The last rumour is considered by the Prom as the most improbable of any. The Rents, after many fluctua tions, closed at 88fr. 86c., and 68; r. 76c., with a rise of 100. and 200. These prices, in oonsequenoe of some heavy sales in the afternoon, were not the highest of the day. Mobilier rose 7fr. 600. The Eastern Railway fell Mr., but all the other lines rose ; Southern, Mr. ; and the rest about 2fr. 60c. THI BLACK DOCTOR.—On Wednesday this ease rune on fur the second time before theTribunalof Correctional Polk?, Paris. The public proutcutor, in • bag sfssob, maintained that the mooned had been guilty of all the charges brought against him, that is to say, of swindling, of illegally practising medicine and pharmacy, and of selling worst remedies. The learned gentleman applied to the MR some Tiny strong epithets, such as " shamelem speootator" and " detestable impostor," and dwelt on the baseness of °brainier money from families on the false pre tence that ha cou.d relieve persona deer to them from suffering, or save then from death. Y. Nogent St. Laurens defended the prisoner. He did not deny that be was liable to flew for having falsely taken the title of physician, and for hewing practised medicine without • diploma ; but he main tained that he had not been guilty of swindling, inasmuch as It waa not proved that he did not possess • secret fur the ewe of anal.; and as there was nothing improbable id supposing that he might really hays brought from Asia plants capable of euring th►t terrible complaint. The tribu nal condemned the " doctor" to Aileen months' imprison ment and 600 fr. flue. DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.—We regret to Isere, by • letter from Gotacionund that has been shown us, of • nielsochuly and fatal accident having occurred at Mr. Oach teriony's coffee twat's near Ooodaloor. It appears that es the evening of the Bth instant, Mr. Ouchteattory had gout out, accompanied by • surveyor, to take obaervailons from some hills. They were attended by a horeekeeper, who carried Instruments , Ike., and he also carried • rifle, beauss elk were generally to be found on • particular hill, and • large tiger was said to be prowliag shoot it whit+ had destroyed several cattle. It was rather Lae when this bill began to be ascended. It has *bodges.s on its face, and very high grass on its slops down towards a forest. Shortly other commencing the wort, the poor borrekeeper saw what he fancied were jungle sheep about tide latter pleas, sod an elk wait seen farther on. Mr. Onolderleny took his rifle, motioned to the others to re main behind, which be saw that they did as he went along, end thew crept till he got to the high grass end through it to • favourable position in the grass, where be could watch any entreats that might come into it. After • while, • movement below attracted his attentive. The grass moved, end there was a pause; a dark object was raised apparently towards the top of the grew. then It was deputised ; and these movements, esactly reeembltng those of an animal in the grew, were repeated. At first It seemed to come to- wards him, and thee to be turning away, when he Bred into the grass where It appeared to ba. His horror may be conceived, when, oat making his war to the spot, he found that the shot had taken total effect on the unhappy borer keeper. It had passed through the brain, and death had bees leatantasetera.—Madras tioatator, Dee. 18. THE CIRCAESIAtis IN COMITANTINOPLE.—The Cirousian Immigration continues en steadily that ft is no =7neceseary to note die arrival of each particular ship , these pitiable.looking strangers. About 18.080 of them have *freely reached the Turkish capital, and of these tits' Itwo lest cargoes have been housed at Scutari, the khans and other available buildings in Sham bled being full. Norwithatanding the auddennees with which the Immigration has set in, the Porte has provided ' ware end heel by lodging for the whole, grade, and gives to soak of thew, besides, a daily ration of 2 eke* of bread sad 111 Outdo In motley. It would be churlish to withhold hoes the government the prise which such generous hos pitality as well deserve.—Levext Borald, Jan. 4. 001LiflaCIAL DOC' COMPANY.—(T9I6 DAY) This afternoon the nine half-yearly meeting of the Commerdal Dock Company was lield at the oSmt, Fenohnrch-street, Mr. J. W. BOSANQUEI, Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The following ia the report : " The directors have the plasm* to report that the amount Of tonnage of shipping which has entered the docks during the year 1869 has again exceeded that in say previous year. i The following is the statement of ships and tonnage Ships. Tons. Wood laden Firewood Corn Variously Light 1.389 414,9/2 Being an increase of 87 ships and 13,462 tons over the year 1858. The stock of wood goods is conaiderable, larger than in the previous' year, and the granaries have been unusually fall. A new system of accounts and a more r►pid mode of collection have been in operation during the half-sear, and are found to work advantageously to the compeny. Much inconvenience having been ezpecieacest by the umber trade in the deliveries of timber from the docks, owing to the position of the docks being so far removed from the timber ponds, the directors have under their serious consideration the necessity of making a new exit into the Thames from pond No. 6, under provisions of their act passed in 1851. Being driest', however, that the powers of compulsory purchase ot land required for the purpose nave already expired, they hive taken the preliminary measures mummery for pro curing an act in the ensuing session of parliament, subject to the approval of the proprietors, for extending their powers to the year 1863, in which act also they propose to include other objects thought desirable for the =latest of the company. The directors recommend that a dividend be declared for the half•yrar of 2i per cent, free of income-tax, upon the capital stock of the company, and that the same be payable at this offioe on and after Monday, the 30th inst." Tile report wee adopted, and the dividend declared. We (Ptyewuth Journal) regret to find that our respected recorder, Charles Saunders, Esq., remains so Indisposed m to be unable to attend to his professional duties.

Coesidtwing the vigorous exertions of the conservative party in your bo rough, sad the lawman brought to tear against me, espe cially the attempt made to persuade the liberal alsotors that it was their religious duty to desert their political principles, I think that the tense and firmness with which these endea vours a* induenece were resisted, and the victory which under such dreams**, the liberal party have achieved, are things of which they may well be proud. It now only tenable fur me to express my hope that my wade* in par liament may afford to you as much satisfaction ea I have de rived from the kindness with which I have been received among you, and to thank you gratefully for the hearty and energetic, support which has brought the late contest to • triumphant lesue."

BOWYER, M.P.—This devoted Roman catholic ham addressed a long letter to the TOWS, dated from "Toe Palace of the Order of Malta, Rome," in which he criticises and condemn the recent pamphlet, " The Pope and the Congress." The letter contains the most extraordinary ob servetiona. We read, for instance, that "if the pontifical fords marched on Bologna there would be an immediate return of the Legations to their allegiance. But," it is added, " the revolutionary army commanded by Piedmontree offi cers, and supported by Piedmont, prevents the Pope from relieving his subject, from the despotism ander which they puffer." Through Mr. Bowyer the Roman government winds up with • oummand and a promise :—" Let the com pose smart and nefore• the undoubted rights of the Holy gee. When this is done the government of the Holy Father will, no doubt, resume Ire authority with that mildness sad clemency which belong both to the Holy See and the reigning Ponttfi." LICENSED VICTUALLERS' BALL.—The second and last ball of this season for the joint benefit of the funds of the Limited Visitation* So ci ety, Schools, and Asylum, took piece last night at Bt. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and was attended by upwards of 2,000 ladies and gentlemen, who filled not only the large hall but the two mailer ones; as well. Notwithatandeog the immense Lumbar present, dancing was by no means imp:sale, bat was begun and kept up with as much vigour as if such accidents as treading on oas i s neighbour's toes and cone* into fearful collision every other minute were of no consequence whatever, but only the normal conditions which each person had act oepted. The scene was • very gay ono, the ball west ad brilliantly, and had there been no other attraction, the throng of pretty twee and graceful forms would have been sufficient to move the approbation of the most cynical, especially when he considered the of for which PO much ianoceat amusement was afforded to young and old. This object was the support tit the schools for the children of deceased Horsed vieenarers, and the maintensace of the infirm and poverty-stricken elders, who had formerly, but without success, followed the same trade. We subjoin • short account of the schools and tha asylum. The schools, which are excellently teenaged, have now been established 68 years, and in that period have educated upwards of 1,400 children, at an expense of Dearly 200,0001. There are at the present moment 127 boys and girls receiving a good education in them schools, in addition to which they are clothed and fed, and will be finally apprenticed to some trade oe other. The annul cost thus incurred is 3,6001., or at the rate of 281. per child, and speaks well for the management and soooonly 'swotted —due, we believe, to the exertions and superintendesoe of Mr. Winterbothem, the governor of the Lionised Victuallers' Society and president of the sellouts. The asylum was established in 1827, and assists of 147 detached houses, with dispel and uhaplain's houses standing on about six soma of weed, and at present !affords a refuge to 184 in mates, who are insiotatued at an annual charge of 3,0001. Fur these inmates every necessary is provided —a weekly allowance of 7e. far dimple peewee, and Ns. Ild. for married couples, with coals, tuedioal and spiritual attendance, being granted to those who are so fortunate ea to be should. EXTRAORDINARY CHAROL—At Wragby, Lin oolnshire, on Monday leaf, a fanner, about twenty years of age, named Thomas Peel, was charged with having corn untied several violent assaults upon a young man named Mark Brewer, of Palnet by. Police Snort intenden t Thrombi, of Market Rases, deposed that he visited house, whore he found him ill in bed. Brewer, who is of rather week Intellect, said—On Monday, three week, ago, I wee feeding my master', horses from • sieve. when the pri soner erase up to me tea said, I want that rem." 1 said, "Take It, then." He then seined me by the middle of the body, and dragged toe into a yard. Charles Whittaker was praiser. He hurt me very much. On the following day be tied • handkerchief tight round my neck, and hung me do • nail in the wall. John Smith, a youth, came In and saw tee supported, and ran and shouted to Whitaker, who came and let me down. to the middle of the HOW week the primmer struck one areas the small of the back with a fork-stoat.
