from the kingdom of Poland, obstructs the solution of the peasant question, and threatens the final destruction of the province, unless we are restored to administrative unity with a country which possesses the same traditions and wants, and the same notions of civil and religious freedom, and future progress, as ourselves. "In laying before your Imperial Majesty these their real wants, the Podolian nobles trust in your feelings of justice and friendship as the only hope for them of putting an end to their present sufferings, and assuring them of a happier , destiny for the future." Such sentiments and wishes are those of the whole Polish nation ; and it would be ridiculous, as it is impossible, for the Emperor of Russia, even with his ukases and his hordes, to quench or destroy that patriotism which is the birthright and the pride of Beery true Pole. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GLOUCESTER RACES.-TUESDAY. The extraordinary heavy rain on Sunday, which appears to have been general throughout England, left the race ground at Gloucester in a miserably wet state. The course has been well drained, but the Severn, which abuts the land, having been flooded, left the surface very " heavy" and sloppy. Notwithstanding this drawback large fields contested the several events, a numerous company as sembled, and the weather remaining beautifully flue, the meeting appeared to be enjoyed by those who lent their patronage. The following are details of the day's running : The Scurry Handicap, a Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, 2 ft., with 25 added ; for horses of all ages ; winners after the publication of weights to carry 71b extra. Half a mile' 2 subs. Lord Coventry's Mousetrap, 4 yrs, ist 61b (Maidment) 1 Mr. Bell's Pupil, 3 yrs, Est 101 b ............ (Hobs on ) 2 Mr. Milton's Fits Ruyter, 2 yrs, fist 71b (car. sst 91b) (Jas. Nightingall) 3 The following also ran :—Miss Julia, Sherborne, Peahen, Knuston, El Taranda colt, First Attempt, Surbiton Hill, Gameboy (late Lord Nelson), and Vesper. Betting -2 to 1 agst Miss Julia, 6to 1 each agst Mouse trap and Fitz Ruyter, 7 t o 1 ags t Fi rst Attempt, and 10 to 1 agst any other. The patience of the starter was tested to a deg ree by th e refusal of the jo c k e y s to get into line, and after a little dis play of refractory conduct on the part of First Attempt and Peahen, the lot were despatched to a very moderate start. Amongst those who got badly off were Surbiton Hill, Pea hen, Vesper, and the Eryx colt. First Attempt jumped away clear of the rest, and for 50 yards was I followed by Sherborne, who, however, could not move in the heavy ground, and instantly dropped to the rear, when First At tempt was pursued by Mousetrap, Pupil, Knuston, and Miss Julia. Before arriving at the distance Mousetrap ob tained a commanding lead and won by 10 lengths, the re mainder, who dazzled in anyhow, were Peahen fourth, the Eryx colt fifth, Miss Julia sixth, Surbiton Hill seventh, and Vesper eighth. The Gloucestershire Handicap, a sweepstakes of 10 soya each, 5 ft, with 100 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards; winners extra. Two miles. 18 subs. 14 r. W. Owen's Brilliant, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b .... (Clement) 1 Mr. T, Stevens's Sheperdess, 4 yrs, 7st 81b (Drew) 2 Mr. Adams's Wortham, 4 yrs, 6st 81b .. (Wheatley) 3 The following also ran :—Tonio, Desmond, Saracen, and Proof. Betting -2 to 1 agst Shepherdess, 4to 1 agst Brilliant, 5 to 1 agst Wortham, and 6 to 1 agst Saracen. Tonio was first off, closely followed by I% ortham, Shep herdess, Brilliant, and Saracen, the last two being Desmond and Proof. They ran thus at a very moderate pace for a mile and a half, the lead having bean alternately held by Wortham,Phepherdess, Brilliant, and Saracen. Bad as the Pace was, the severity of the course had beaten all the horses, excepting Brilliant, when they were half a mile from home, when Desmond was at least 200 yards from the leading lot. Proof, when well up with his horses about half a mile from the finish, fell, and rolled over young Nightingall, who re ceived a severe injury to his left shoulder. A quarter of a mile from home there were only four in the race, and so well was Brilliant running that neither Tonio, Shep herdess, nor Northam was virtually in the race. Coming round the last turn Brilliant came away, and cantered in ten lengths in advance of Shepherdess. Wortham walked past the post. The Croome Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for two yr-olds ; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b ; winners extra . T.Y.C., about half a mile. 10 subs. Mr. James Clarke's Kennett, Bst 101 b (in. 31b extra) Mr. E. Griffith's Jesui s t a, B st 21b .... (Midgley) 1 .... (...White) 2 Sir C. Rushout' s F at J ack .. , Bst ............. (Payne) 3 Abernethy also ran. Betting-6 to 4 agst Abernethy, 7to 4 agst Kennett, 5 to 2 agst Jesuista. The last-mentioned rushed to the front, followed by Fat Jack for a quarter of a mile. The stout gentleman being beaten at this point retired, and Kennett hotly pursued Jesuista, whom she caught at the half distance, and beat by a length; Fat Jack was a bad third, and Abernethy was never in the race. The Innkeepers' Plate of 30 soya, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 6 sovs each, 1 ft; winners extra. One mile. Mr. G. C. Morgan's Rockley, 5 yrs, 7st 41b.... (Drew) 1 Mr. R. Sly's Acton (late Squirt), 3 yrs, sst 71b (J. Grimshaw 2 Mr. R. W a l ker ' s Col. Crockett, 4 yrs, 6st 41b (Ward) ) 3 The following also ran :—Sherborne, Dominie Sampson, Captain Knight, Vesper, Pinkepoe, Paresseuse, and Led bury. Betting -3 to 1 agst Action, 4to 1 agst Ledbury, sto 1 ilifrst Rockley. Acton pioneered the way attended upon by Colonel Crockett. About a quarter of a mile from * Lome Ledbury joined them, but subsequently gave way to Rockley. The latter had all his horses beaten at the distance, where he came away and won by two lengths. A length separated the second and third, and Ledbury a bad fourth. Dominie Sampson was fifth, and Captain Knight sixth. A Handicap Hurdle Race of 5 soya each, one sovs ft, with 25 added, winners extra. One mile and a half, over four flights of hurdles. 21 subs. lir. T. Wadlow's Pot Pourri, 3 yrs, 7st 91b (carried Bst) 111r.(W. White) 1 r. Hunt's Jacob, 5 y rs , 9 s t 71b (Kntt) 2 kr. S. Rust's Alba, 3 yrs, 7st ( car 7 s t 31b ).... (C.

Betting-3 to 1 each agst Pot Pourri and Jacob, 7to 2 each agst Bucephalua and Ned of the Hills, 5 to 1 agst The Miller. Bucephalus jumped off with a slight lead, but was quickly headed by Alba, Millstone, and Ned of the Hills. Ere they had gone a quarter of a mile Ned of the Hills and Alba came away, and on passing the Stand was fully 50 lengths in front of The Miller, Jacob, and Pot Pourri. Ned of the Hills. who completely overpowered the boy, ran against a post, but did not injure his rider. Pot Pourri and Jacob gradually drew towards Alba, who was beaten be fore making his last turn, at which point Pot Pourri took up the running and won by six lengths; a bad third; the rest straggled in. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TuEsDAT. For the Cambridgeshire Umpire finished favourite. Beyond bringing the Lady Evelyn colt from an outsider to 30 to 1 (taken freely), there was nothing particular in the betting. Any slight advance upon the prices quoted as offered would have been taken.

Amongst these we specially noticed admirable speci mens of the well-known and much-approved " Pannus Corium" boots and shoes, They look so like leather that on first sight we thought it was that material, but found on closer inspection that "Patinas Corium" is a prepared cloth very soft and elastic. The advantage of this article must be thoroughly appreciated by those who have the misfor tune to be tender-footed, Messrs. Hall and Co., of 6, Wel lington-street, St rand, the sole patentees of this invention, have deservedly received "Honourable mention" from the jurors.

CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. A contradiction has been given, on official autho rity, of a report lately circulated that the Ottoman Government are about to emit six or seven millions sterling of new Consolides. It is stated that a rumour of an intended new Egyptian Government loan is entirely without foundation. The commercial letters from Buenos Ayres re. move much of the unpleasantness of the recent tele gram announcing the refusal of the Provincial Legislature to sanction the fixing of the national capifal at Buenos Ayres, and the consequent resig nation of the leading Ministers. Dr. Costa, the Premier, who is stated to act upon " thoroughly English ideas," tendered his resignation, and Senor Riestra, the Finance Minister, who has been for years the chief agent in restoring and upholding the credit of the Republic, took the same course; but that of the former was not accepted by General Mitre, and it is now said that by his tact and good sense there is a certainty of the difficulty being eventually overcome. Meanwhile, however, trade and enterprise of all kinds were unfavourably in fluenced. It is remarked that at Buenos Ayres,",as elsewhere, owing to the stocks previously accumu lated, the rise in manufactured goods has not hitherto been in any degree commensurate with that which has taken place in most descriptions of raw material. " Now, however," it is added, " the immense stock seems to have moved off, and there can be no doubt that calicoes and prints of every description will command high figures in South America." The Bill for the Cordova Railway, which is likely to form the com mencement of a route that will ultimately extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific, has passed both Houses of Congress, and the works of the Buenos Ayres Northern line are stated to be in steadypro gress, the contractor having announced confidently that the road would be open for traffic as far as Belgrano early in the present month. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for discount accommodation is steadily maintained, and the rates continue firm. There appears to be an impression in some quarters that the quotations will shortly exhibit rather an upward tendency, although the requirements of the commercial public are likely to continue moderate till the end of the year. Gold is new about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and of about equal value here and in Hamburg. The Tartar, from Lisbon, has brought £3,300 in specie. - The traffic return of the East Indian Railway for the week ending July 20 shows an income on the Bengal division of 359 i miles open of £6,103, against £5,270 in the corresponding period of last year on 248 miles. The North Western Provinces division, on 2791 miles, obtained £2,200, while the income of last year on 2091; miles was £1,997. There has been very little speculation at the Stock Exchange today, except in foreign stocks and joint-stock bank shares. Turkish, Italian, Mexican, and Spanish attract the chief attention of the time operators, and the activity in the market for joint-stock bank shares is still kept up. The remarkable success of the old established banks has induced investors to give liberal support to new projects, and the demand for shares is unusually extensive. Formerly this class of security ranged at quotations which enabled purchasers to obtain about 6 per cent. for their money, the premium being considerable, and hence the desire now mani fested to invest in the shares of the various com panies recently introduced, which, if successful, may increase in market value as well as return a satis factory interest upon the capital employed. Two O'CLOCK. Very little change has occurred in the English Stock to-day, business being exceedingly inactive owing to the disinclination evinced by speculators to enter into large engagements, and the preference shown by investors for new undertakings. Consols are 93t d for money and the account. The New threes and Reduced Annuities have been dealt in at 919 921 ; India 5 per Cents. at 1091 4 ; Enfaced 51 per Cents. at 1121 ; and Exchequer Bills at 19s. to 225. prem., being ls. lower ; Bank Stock is 236 238.

Caledonians, London, Chatham, and Dover, and North Westerns have receded ss. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. ; South Easterns, however, have improved about £l. In the Foreign and Colonial markets there has been no change of importance.

The ordinary general meeting of the proprietors in this company was held this day at the London Tavern. The directors' report, which was adopted, recommended the usual dividend of £2 per share, The passenger traffic has been favourably influenced by the emigration to British Columbia and the visits to the International Exhibition, but the receipts for freight on the Brazil route have been considerably diminished by the competition of the French steamers—a competition which must also be anticipated to affect seriously the West India route, when the line from France to that station shall have been fully established. The company's contract with the Government will expire at the end of next year, and tenders for the new service are to be sent in on Saturday week. The directors, therefore, are giving anxious attention to this question, but do not intend to attempt to obtain a renewal on any but remunera tive terms. The CHAIRMAN, Captain Mangles, presided, and in moving the adoption of the report, spoke of the satisfactory position of the company, and alluded to the notice given by the Go'ernment to discontinue the existing contract of the West Ind ian and South American mail services. Several of the shareholders criticised the report of the directors in a very favourable manner, and observed that the finanoial position of the company was sound, and satisfac torily contrasted it with former periods. POLICE-THIS DAY. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AT TUE EXIIIEITION.—WaItOr Rummoll, a young man, was charged with being drunk and violently assaulting a police-constable. Alexander Gardner, 224 X, said that at 20 minutes past 6 last evening he was on duty at the Exhibition, engaged in clearing out the visitors, when the defendant and two other young men approached, all of them being intoxicated. He pointed out the direction they should take to leave the building, when the defendant refused to go that way, and attempted to pass towards the eastern annexe. Complain ant prevented this, and as the defendant persisted com plainant took him by the arm to lead him out of the build ing. When he got him through the turnstile he let go his hold of the defendant, when the latter turned round and struck him a violent blow on the side of the head, which he followed up by inflicting another before he could be secured. Mr. Paynter—What became of the other two drunken persons who were with the defendant? Hew is it they were not locked up ? Complainant—When desired they left peaceably, so that there was no necessity. Mr. Paynter (to defendant)—What have you to say ? Defendant—l am in fault. Mr. Paynter—l should think you ought to be. A youth like you getting drunk and conducting yourself in that disgraceful way at so public a place of resort, where the slightest obstruction may cause incalculable mischief. How long had he been in the Exhibition, constable—are you aware ? Complainant—All the day, I believe. Mr. Paynter—Then he got drunk in the building. Constable—Yes, I suppose so. Mr. Paynter—You might have done much damage, young man, to the valuable property there. Complainant—l had seen him with his companions be fore, and was very much afraid that they would fall through some of the glass cases. Mr. Paynter—lt was indeed fortunate ; the Exhibition is no place for drunken men. (To defeadant)—What are you? Defendant—A clerk. Complainant—He is clerk to an exhibitor there, and knew the regulations of the building well. At the time I interfered with him it was twenty minutes after that fixed for the closing. . Mr. Paynter—Did he go quietly to the station ? Complainant—No, he resisted so violently that it required four constables to carry him to the station. m r . Poynter (to defendant)—Your conduct for a respect ably positioned young man is very disgraceful. You must pay 405., or be sent to the House of Correction for a month. The fine was paid. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two Frenchmen, named Orter and Bour, were fined, the former 105. and the latter 205., for assaulting a tradesman named White, in St. Martin's-lane, without the slightest provocation. John. England, an apprentice to Mr. Francis Stead, an engraver, was charged with robbing his master to the amount of £lOO. He was remanded. SOUTHWARK. Ax ACQUAINTANCESHIP DECLINED.—John Fred. Calder, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and annoying Captain Robert Clavering Savage, a gentleman of fortune, residing at 5, Charles-street, Deptford. The prosecutor said that he had been dining at the Artichoke Tavern, Newington-causeway, yesterday, and as he was leaving, about 8 o'clock in the evening, the prisoner, with whom he had no previous acquaintance whatever, addressed him. He crossed the street towards the Borough road, but the prisoner followed him, and continued dodging him until he reached the Equestrian Tavern, when he gave him in charge. The prisoner, in the course of his annoy ing him, threatened that if the prosecutor went to a certain coffeeshop he would get somebody to do for him. When taken into custody, he stated to the policeman that they had been drinking together, which was quite untrue. _ _ • The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, said that he had been acquainted with Captain Savage for some time. He said to the captain, " Hallo, how are you ?" to which the latter replied, " Begone, I don't want to know anything of you ;" and he also threatened to spit in his face. He was in the habit of meeting the captain at Kaye's coffeehouse, in Leicester-square, and bad been instrumental in recover ing for him a valuable diamond ring. The captain was a man of very sanguine and excitable temperament. The magistrate remarked that such being the case, the prisoner should have abstained attempting to force his ac quaintance on him. The prosecutor adhered to his statement that he had no acquaintance with the prisoner, and with great warmth re pudiated any such intimacy as the prisoner deposed to. Sentenced to ply 10s. fine, or be imprisoned for seven days. THAMES. An Irishman, named Dermorly, was charged with creating a disturbance. The prisoner while in a state of intoxication in Rosemary -lane raised a cry of "Up with tha Pope and dcwn with Garibaldi." A large orowd col lected, and great confusion was the consequence. The magistrate fined him 20s. MARKETS-THIS DAY. AMARK LANE. Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of English wheat were small, and the trade ruled steady, both for red and white qualities, at full prices. The show of samples of foreign wheat was extensive. The demand was not to say extensive for any description ; nevertheless, the quotations were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at full prices. Tho trade for barley was very firm at fully Monday's ad vance of is per qr. for malting qualities. Good and fine malt moved off steadily at full currencies, but other kinds met a slow sale. For oats—notwithstanding that the supply on offer was very moderate—the demand was in a sluggish state at Monday's quotations. Beans were dull at fully the late decline in their value. Peas were in slow request on former terms. Best kinds of flour changed hands at a moderate extent at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

" The Oxford" advances fresh claims to the distinction of being the first in the field with operatic novelties. More than once, a promise made, but not performed, by one or other of our Italian Opera houses, has been fulfilled by the management of this hall. The last instance we may record is the production of Donizetti's "Don Sebastian," which was in the programme of the Royal Italian Opera for the past season, but never produced. This opera contains some of the most dramatic and best concentrated music Doni setti ever wrote, and it is heard to great advantage in the selection now being played. This selection alternates with Verdi's " Corsaro" and " Trovatore," the former being one of those speedy revivals in which Mr. Mor ton's musical conductor is so opportune. Two new musical treats are in preparation. The " Nabucco" of Verdi, in which Colletti figured so conspicuously at Her Majesty's, is in active rehearsal, and will, we understand, be produced next week. A still more recherche work is Gluck's " Alceste," a selection from which is promised, and which will give the general public come idea of a composer seldom heard of in this country out of purely classical circles. The Oxford, therefore, success fully maintains its preeminence as being the first amongst music-halls to cull from opera and other large works of merit, and reproduce them in the form of selections. Seve ral modern cantatas have been given in their entirety, also with distinguished success. We believe it is in contem plation to enrich the instrumental force of The Oxford by the engagement of some solo players of eminence. Master Drew Dean, the young flutist (who was selected by Mr. Anderson as solo flutist in her Majesty's band, but was dis qualified at the last moment merely on account of his ex treme youth), commences an engagement immediately. The rich unction of Mr. Unsworth, in his celebrated " Stump speech," continues to render that oration the great nigger speciality of the day. If the Abolitionists had Mr. Uns worth amongst them he would be the very Daniel O'Con nell of negro emancipation. In this praise of the artist we mean no disparagement of his collaboreeur, Mr. Eugene, who is quite his equal in another line. Indeed, the Rumsey and Newcomb minstrels, altogether, will bear comparison with the best of the sable fraternity who have yet appeared in this country. This is the last week at this hall of "The Miraculous Steckel," whose next appearance, according to the more recent rotation of artistic movements, may be at the Crystal Palace. VA.RIE7IES. (From Fun.) LINES WRITTEN ON SEVERAL WINDOW PANES IN A COUNTRY INN. BY SHENSTONE I have found out a fact, I declare, I have found out a secret indeed, But let me divulging forbear, Some will say 'Us a barbarous deed; I have found—open widely your eyes, I have found—to be startled prepare— That the country is—now for surprise— A swindle, a sham, and a snare. As indulging the sweetest of dreams, I recline on this soft shady bank, For valleys and hedgerows and streams, You bountiful nature, I thank I How peaceful the prospect around, How tuneful the wind through the trees But chitch-oo I—so damp is the ground, At-choo-ski I—that seems like a sneeze. How pleasant 'mid flowers and plants, One's limbs on the verdure to sprawl, But not when a number of ants Up your trousers capriciously crawl. You inhale the warm breath of the south, You look up to the bluest of skies, When filling your eyes and your mouth, Comes a swarm of the smallest of flies. That rustic—that innocent lad, Simplicity here take a hint, (Whose every third word is so bad, I should blush to record it in print—) Must be free from the vices of town, Though the language ho uses is queer : What I knocked his old grandfather down ? Good gracious I and kicked him I oh ! dear.

The Caroline Woodyear had just arrived from India with a cargo of rum, and as at the post mortem examination the man's brain, liver, and stomach smelt strongly of rum, there was no doubt he had gone on board and drank the rum till he poisoned himself.

THE TEMPLE CHURCH, The inscription of "Te Deum Landamus," in. unical characters, with illuminated capitals at the beginning of every verse, commencing at the north west corner, and extending quite round the side wr a t p ar al p l e t t a so r o a t f n h c et e hw , e a eE n st d n,gn i is sa i h a r tand wa ll s , round i h b a l e s , t a i as mo s t s e t c) v . e r T he i mpress i ve P e w r bei with a h s v p k e kings who reigned during th 't e prospen y of the order. The series begins with Henry 1., in whose time the knights were domiciled in this metropolis. He is seated on a regal chair, and supports with his riglat hand " the glorious Beanseant," or black and white war banner of the Temple. Above are the two lions of Normandy, and below appears the "Peg s . sus," or winged horse. Next may be noticed King Stephen, who endowed the Templars with many of their richest manors. With his right hand he grasps the Red Cross Banner, and holds a sceptre in the left; over the apex of the centre arch are portraits of Henry 11. and Richard Cceur de Lion. Henry 11. was a great benefactor to the Templars; he made them large grants in money, and endowed them with lands over the whole of England and in many yatts of Ireland. The round was consecrated in his reign. Richard is enthroned, and wields a naked sword. He owed much of his success in Palestine to the Knights, but seems to have regarded them with aversion, for being counselled by Falk, of Neuelly, to put away his three favourites—pride, avarice, and voluptuousness—he answered, " Thy advice is good, and I hereby give the first to the Tem plars, the second to the Benedictines, and the third to my prelates !" On the northern side of the arch we find King John, who delivered the order from all amercements in the Exche quer, and granted them exemption from all judges but the Sovereign himself, or his chief justice. At the earnest solicitation of Amaric de St. Maur, Master of the Temple, John consented to sign Magna Charta. At the west end of the north aisle is a portrait of Henry 111., under whom the oblong was finished. He is depicted with his right hand rest ing - model of the completed building. By his o. a charter, 1228, he conceded to them many important immunities and rights. Funds were provided to support three chaplains, who were to celebrate mass daily ; and they were empowered to hold fairs all over the realm—a strange privilege for Knights of the Cross !—City Press. THE MINISTERIAL CHANGES .IN FRANCE. The appointment of M. Drouyn de Lhuys to the important post of Minister of Foreign Affairs is generally considered by the Paris journals as sig. nificant of a determination on the part of the Emperor not to make any modification at pre sent in the policy of France with respect to Rome. Naturally enough, the France, as well as the cleri cal journals, speak exultingly of the Ministerial modification, and represent it as an undeniable proof that their views with respect to the temporal power of the Pope is the correct one. We subjoin the following from the Temps, which, after quoting passages from M. Thouvenel's despatches, published on the 25th September, says:— "The conclusion to be drawn from the present modifica tion is that the public had been mistaken as to the bearing of the publication in question, and that M. Thouvenel has thought the situation sufficiently prolonged to falsify the policy of France, but that his opinion has not prevailed. We may, in short, conclude that the solution of the Roman question is again postponed. As a symptom, therefore, the retirement of M. Thouvenel cannot but afford pleasure to the partisans of the temporal power, and afflict the friends of Italian unity. As an act, it must meet with unanimous approbation, like all those which in politi cal men denotes character, decided ideas, and personal con victions. We shall now know how M. Thouvenel will treat the Roman question if he ever returns to power, and that should it be again pending, which is not impossible, for we do not think that the Court of Rome will find in the acces sion to office of M. Drouyn de Lhuys a motive for relaxing its categorical immobility. We think, on the contrary, that the situation, by being prolonged, can only more and more falsify our policy." _ _ The Presse expresses itself in these terms : i N. eonutl will very y doubtless limited consider the on of "The r r o e u t y r e m d e o n i o h f o M y s . T o s h o h u i v s e n s o e l o o a e n s d s otrh ewwill appointment produoo a y deep sensation not only in France, but throughout Europe. has s er of Foreign Affai rs as th e mark t n whit o ehs t in the policy itself, at l eas t i n the ten ordwPefehupnaibl c cal i ch e m Public opinion, aot o onpe f ginfn t eo h tiTo e oinff foreign policy of the Government with regard to the Italian question. We can with difficulty explain to ourselves those modifications at the very moment when Italy has just, at the cost of the most painful effort, given a mark of her gratitude to her French all 3 . The France, it is t r ue, will be satisfied; the Mande will soften its rigours ; and probably M. de Riancey and M. de la Gueronniere will unite in their applause. When reaction shows itself so satisfied, it may appear natural that we should show ourselves afflicted. Nevertheless we still hope that the bearing of the Ministerial mo difica tion is exaggerated. M. Billault has not tendered his re signation, and certainly the Minister who before the repre sentatives of the country defended the diplomatic acts of M. Thouvenel, would not consent to support those of M. Drouyn de Lhuys if they materially differed from those of his predecessor. The Minister who said, We violate at Rome the right of the Romans' will not cover with his elo quence a new policy, which will consist in rendering that relation of right indefinite." PRICE OF GOLD_ The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17e. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4251 per mark, and the short exc h ange on London is 13.5} per £1 sterling. Standard gold at th e English Mint price is, therefore, at about the sam e price in London and Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' si g ht i s 137 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 2d per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BISHOPSGATE.—About 11 o'clock last night a fire, accompanied by a great destruc tion of property, broke out in the premises of Mr. George Udell, cabinetmaker and bedstead manufacturer, Skinner.. street, Bishopsgute. The house and its contents were much damaged, and the whole of the warehouses and workshops, with their manufactured stock and raw ma terials, were entirely destroyed, to the amount of over £l,OOO. DRESS.—Our forefathers were in many points worse off than we are as regards dress, and it is most amus ing to contemplate the ridiculous appearance they must have presented when certain fashions were " in." Fancy a visit to the Exhibition or to a ball-room in shoes with toes two feet long, either standing out at right angles to the zenith, or gracefully curved upwards and fastened with a gold or silver buckle to the knee of the wearer. Deerfoot would scarcely manage a ten-mile run as rapidly as in his mocassins, and the mere notion of a fashionable waltz In shoes two feet long, turns one giddy with anticipation. let _ such shoes were worn, and neither ridicule nor terrors_ .otoriarl f the church could put them out of fashion. r; 10 ago, a violent relates, there was, some eight hundred. toed shoes.
