The borough of Southampton is earning for itself a peculiar and distinctive reputation. Not an en viable reputation by any means. But one of a very exceptional character. It is precisely the constituency where a successful hit may be hoped for, by any adventurous candidate who may care to "go in and win" —or, at any rate, trust confidently upon the chance of winning—by what billiard players call a Fluke. The least likely name among those submitted to the selection of the electors, so often turns out, there, to be, after all, the name of the " returned"—of the new M.P. for Southampton! The constituency, as we all know, is essentially a Liberal constituency. Among the registered elec tors a very considerable majority is notoriously made up of advanced Reformers, men dead against Toryism, men but the faintest degree, if at all, tinctured with the flavour of Conservatism. Yet, out of this Liberal borough, there has just now emerged, in the person of the new Lord Mayor of London—the Right Hon. WILLIAM ROSE—a thoroughly true blue or bigh Tory representative. It is for all the world like that charming little trick of the laboratory—so often witnessed by the frequenters cf the Polytechnic Institution—the turning of a lump of ice out of a red hot crucible After the sharpest contest that has long been witnessed, even at Southampton, out of the partu rient mountain of the great Liberal constituency comes forth—a ridiculous ROSE! Again the ball flies iuto the winning pocket—by a fluke! It is idle to talk of the mere contest of political parties having led to this surprising result at Southampton. For political parties read—rival companies! Instead of Whig and Tory, or let us say Liberal and Conservative, having been pitted against each other, in the two opposing candi dates, Lord Mayor ROSE and Captain MANGLES —it should be said that the MONTAGUES and the CAFULETS there at daggers drawn in the streets of our great southern outport, were severally repre sented by the Peninsular and Oriental Company on the one hand, and on the other the West India Mail Steam:packet Company —the latter plying across the Ati.antic, the former across the Mediterranean. 'The result is as we have now witnessed. From nine o'clock in the morning until the close of the poll at four o'elock in the afternoon, the candidates may be said to have run almost neck and neck. If, when the poll was closed eventually, the com petitors oame not in by a dead heat, there was but a very small difference perceptible between them. Accordingly as the numbers were looked at through the yellow or jaundiced glasses, or the glasses delicately tinged with the faintest suspi- ClOn of the couleur de rose they looked thus differently : CONSERVATIVE RETURN'.

The Liberal ma . jority there has been its own greatest enemy. I t has allowed little petty rancours and the merest sordid rivalries to fritter away its inherent strength collectively. It has forgotten the interests of the United Kingdom for the pettier interests ap pertaining to the borough and out-port of South ampton. According to the narrowed view of the lihtral Electors of Southampton of late—Britannia's rule over the waves would almost seem, in their eyes, to have been restricted to the rip- , plea of the Southampton Waters!

We do not think, however, that Mr. SPENCE'S arguments will be sufficient. They appear to us to be almost self-refuting. The ques tion will ever run up mainly to this—in order, not to defend ourselves, nor to increase our means for blockading dockyards and arsenals, but, to facilitate attack on an enemy, is it worth while to support a system which inflicts on British trade such calami ,ies as we now endure P The Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool has re belled against its representatives. It has rebelled by repontance. At the previous meeting it re solved to uphold the blockade of commercial ports, as distinguished from naval and military ports and arsenals; at its last meeting, on Wednesday, it went a step further, and proposes, though the dis cussion is adjourned, to support also the right to capture private property at sea. Both these steps are in reversal of its former decisions and memo rials to Government, and the leading gentleman in support of the penitential resolutions is Mr. SPENCE, known to us only by his plausible advocacy of the South and its institutions, and his depreciation of everything Northern. The present blockade is one which of course cannot be broken by us, and Mr. SPENCE incurs therefore no risk for his Southern friends by now upholding commercial blockades ; perhaps also, so far as expression of opinion goes, he does them service by maintaining the desirable ness of such destruction of property as that prac tised by the Alabama, and by the Sumpter before her. That it is perfectly fair while the Federals seize every vessel with Southern property on board, cannot be denied ; but Mr. SPENCE and his brother merchants maintain, in addition, that such captures are also expedient. It is to be remembered that though America retains the right of privateering, the nations of Europe, being more civilised, have, by the Treaty of Paris, abandoned the practice. Except, there fore, in a war with America, this mode of maritime depredation must be abandoned. The question, therefore, now is, shall we abandon also the right to seize the property of the enemy at sea by means of our QUEEN'S ships, and induce, which of course we could easily do, other nations to adopt the same policy. As every navy is smaller than ours, other Powers would obviously be but too glad to agree that all purely trading vessels should enjoy the same immunity from capture as is enjoyed by a farm house or a shop, on land. Mr. SPENCE de nies the very parellelism itself of the cases. To most persons, at first sight, they seem to be iden tical, with only the difference of the private property being in one case on the common highroad of all Dressed in white silk, and adorned with a diadem and necklace, composed of brilliants and emeralds, valued at more than three million reals—the QUEEN ISABELLA 11. of Spain is described to have recently delivered her Speech from the Throne to her Royal Cortes with much solemnity of manner, and in a voice at once firm and sonorous. Reading her Catholic MAJESTY'S Speech, one might really be led to imagine, from the mere tone of it, that Spain is at the very summit of modern civili sation, and the present reign there the most glorious in her national history. The attitude assumed by the SOVEREIGN throughout is, if one might venture to speak thus of a female Sovereign ,one slightly hesitating between a strut and a swagger. The language employed is distinctly the grandiose verbiage of a true Hidalgo. Scanning the long and carefully elaborated sentences one needs hardly to have been told that in delivering them her MAJESTY spoke with that firm and sonorous voice or with that excessive solemnity of manner. Hero is a flavour of it. " The policy," says the QUEEN, " of my Govern ment, in concert with the Cortes, for the last four years has procured for the nation much increase of wealth, and led to internal reform, besides gaining for the country the respect and conside ration of foreign nations." And further, " In con tinuing the system already commenced of liberty, of tolerance, and of constitutional administration ; in accustoming various classes of society to the exer cise of rights which elevate their dignity, and to labour, which is the stimulus to and which increases wealth ; in inculcating upon all the principles of morality and Christianity—we trust that we shall receive the blessing of Heaven in support of our efforts. Public tranquillity, that a ccompaul....l. of free and laborious nations, will be consolidated. History will point to the present period as one nations, and in the other on the soil of the belli gerent himself. This last would, indeed, seem rather to be a reason why it should be more open to appropriation by an enemy, but Mr. SPENCE rules otherwise; we much suspect, because he had found himself constrained to confess, that to retain fnitful in prosperity, and the reforms which may be necessary in the legislation of the State will be accomplished by the effort of public opinion alone, without the suddenness and the violeag which ordinarily accompany revolutionary re actions." Than all which, surely, nothing could by possibility be more delightful or more auspi cious. Only when the sonorous voice has ceased, and the brilliants and emeralds of the necklace are no longer glittering to the rise and fall of the breath heaving the bosom of the royal speaker, when the silk . has rustled away, train and all, out of the sight of the admiring Cortes—it does recur to mind somehow that all this vaunt about liberty, tolerance, and Constitutional Administration in Spain is about as valuable in its way as the famous babble of Miss commercial blockades, which he and his friends had agreed to do, and to forbid capture at sea, of the property they sought to shut up in port, was a manifest absurdity. Let us, however, hear his arguments. He says, first, that it would be "inhuman" to destroy pro perty on land; the suffering caused to the unarmed " innocent" population would be great, and have no tendency to move the Government of the country to come to terms. This is as fallacious as it is plau sible. Our own statesmen have told us in the re cent debates that the fundamental reason why pri vate property may be seized at sea is, that every individual in a nation, its suffering merchants in eluded, must be considered as represented by his Government, and participating in its acts. But if this be sound reasoning, and on the principles now acknowledged between nations it really is so, pri vate property is as fairly liable to the enemy's attack on land as it is at sea. The possessors in one case are as "innocent" as in the ether. The inhu manity or cruelty is simply a question of degree, WILEIELMINA AMELIA.

SHIPMENT OF RAGS TO AMERICA.—LIVERPOOL, , Dec. 4.—During the past month, 8,000 bales of cotton rags have been bought in this market, and 3,000 bales in London for shipment to the United States. These purchases have consisted chiefly of Egyptians, at 13s 6d to 14s 3d for white, lls 6d to 12s 3d for blue, and lOs to lls for coloured; with a considerable quantity of Japan blues at about 13s. Since the bulk of these purchases were made prices have advanced, and Egyptians have sold at 15s for white, 138 6d blue. Our I market is quite bare of stock.

AMERICAN RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.—pert Of a rain was destroyed on the Algiers railroad on the 17th ult. by the explosion of ammunition in a car behind the tender. The accident is supposed to have been caused by a spark from the cigar of some imprudent smoker. Eleven persons were killed and 17 wounded. On the 21st, a dark and foggy morning, when the passenger train to Boston reached the Charlestown-bridge the draw was found to be open. The engine and tender plunged into the river, and were soon submerged out of sight. The smoking car, in which were a number of passengers, was thrown forward with all the passengers in a heap. The remaining cars were uncoupled in time to avoid taking the plunge. Many of the passengers in the smoking car succeeded in making their escape by jumping from the windows and saving themselves by bwimming, while to others were thrown planks taken from the bridge. Four persons were killed, and several more or less injured. The train was going slowly at the time. ATTEMPTED FRAUD BY A FEMALE—At the Man chester police court, yesterday, Adelaide Cecilia Monk, a respectable looking woman, was brought up charged with attempting to obtain money by false pretences from the North-Eastern Railway Company. Mr. Cobbett, solicitor, who appeared for the company, stated that the prisoner made a claim on the company for some luggage which she professsed to have lost at Thorpe Arch, in Yorkshire. The amount of the claim was £l5O. Her statement was that she travelled from Thorpe Arch to Manchester on the 15th November last, and that her luggage, which had been put into the hands of the railway servants, was lost on the way. The company, however, were prepared to prove that not a single ticket was issued to any person from Thorpe Arch to Manchester on the 15th November, and they also found on inquiry that no luggage had been left at Thorpo Arch on that day. Their inquiries also tended to show that the prisoner had not been out of Man chester at all on the 15th of November. Mr. Hawker, the superintendent of police on the line, gave evidence that the prisoner represented to him that she had come from London to Thorpe Arch, and that she left the same place the next day, having in her possession two tin trunks and one large hair trunk containing clothes and money. She said that on arriving in Manchester she found the trunks had been taken in some other direction, and that in consequence she had been unable to take her passage to America, whither she intended going. Mr. Hawker also proved that no ticket to Manchester was taken out at Thorpe Arch on the 15th November. A man named Birkbeck, living at Ard wick, said that the prisoner had lived in his house for seve ral weeks, and that she had never been out of Manchester on either the 14th or 15th November. The magistrates remanded the prisoner for some days to make inquiries into her case. She is said to be an American. ROBBERIES BY POST OFFICIALS.—NECESSITY FOR REGISTERING MONEY LETTERS.--Henry Borah, a messenger, lately in the employment of tho post- office at Bolton, was indicted at the Liverpool Assizes yesterday for stealing the half of a £5 note, which had been posted at ono of the pillars under the prisoner's care. The letter was ad dressed by Mr. James Ward, of Bolton, to Messrs. C. Tay lor, of Gomersak, near Leeds, but it never reached its des tination. On the 14th November a brother of the prisoner offered the half of a £5 note (subsequently identified by Mr. Ward as the note he had posted) to a Mr. Bradshaw, pawn broker, of Bolton, but Mr. Bradshaw suspecting that a robbery had taken place, had the boy taken into custody. The lad said his brother had given him the note, and when the prisoner was apprehended h tn es m ai e d re th y alh D e a h v a i d d found the half mote in the street. The jury found the pri soner guilty, with a recommendation Ross, another letter carrier, pleaded guilty to two indict ments for stealing letters. He was sentenced to penal servitude for four years, and Sorah. to 12 months' imprison ment with hard labour. Mr. Commissioner Gurney, in passing sentence, said that after the recent Post-office order to the remistre.tion of 11101107 latter., persona who persisted in putting money in ordinary letters were highly culpable for placing unnecessarily temptation in the car rier's way. He should refuse the expenses of witnesses in such cases. ESCAPE AND SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC.—On Tues day evening a young lady named Hodgson, who had been three months in the asylum at Mount Head, near Otley, belonging to Dr. Smith, of Leeds, made her escape between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening; the woman who keeps the lodge, hearing the gate close, supposing it was her daughter, who was expected home, not going out to see what was the matter. A short time afterwards a mason, named Moon, and his companions, on their way from Ilkley to Burley, came up, and found a crinoline and a head-net on the bank of the river. A struggle was heard in the water, and upon looking closely they saw something floating on the surface, but, the river there being very deep, and none of the party able to swim, they d id no t venture in. They, however, threw strap, which appeared to touch the hand out to be a woman , b u t s h e was either to take hold of it. The poor rew outifn what a t a ie leathern e or noweth er n turned unwilling creature then gave a loud scream, and having turned on her back and uttered two or three shrieks, she sank. The body was not recovered till Wednesday afternoon.

A CORSICAN SOLDIER CONDEMNED FOR MURDER. —The military tribunal of Chalons has just tried a young soldier of the 52d Regiment, named Pietri, a native of Corsica, on a charge of having murdered, on the 3d Nov., a young man named Raussin, the son of a farmer, residing at Saint Memmie, near Chalons. It appeared from the evidence, which agreed with the accounts given at the time the murder took place, that M. Raussin and his son were returning home from one of their fields, with a load of green fodder, on the top of which they were seated, when they came up with two young men, one of whom was a grocer at Chalons, in shooting attire, with a fowling piece, who lay on the ground dead drunk, and the other the prisoner, who was somewhat loss intoxicated. The latter asked M. Raussin to allow his companion to ride to Chalons on the fodder. The farmer refused on the ground that it would be dangerous to place a man in such a condition on the top of a load among the scythes and forks lying there. This refusal so incensed the prisoner that he seized his companion's double-barrelled gun, ran after the cart, and, aiming at young Raussin, killed him dead on the spot. He then discharged the other barrel at the father, but missed him ; the shot, however, struck a rake hanging at the back of the load. All these facts were proved by the evidence of M. Raussin, and many other witnesses deposed as to the drunken state of the sol dier and his companion, especially the servants of a farm house where they had drunk four bottles of wine. The pri soner, when asked what ho had to say in his defence, stated that he had gone out with Regnaud for a day's shooting Towards evening they went to a farm-house to obtain re freshment, where they got intoxicated, and ho had not the slightest recollection of anything that occurred from the time they left the house till alter his arrest. He conc:uded with expressing the remorse he felt for the dreadful results of his drunkenness. Tho prisoner's counsel declared that his client was in reality a madman when he committed the crime, and implored for him the benefit of extenuating cir cumstances; but the tribunal, deeming intoxication no ex cuse, unanimous;y declared the charge of murder fully proved, and condemned the prisoner to death. EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES OF THE POLICE FOR THE SUPPRESSION OP GAROTTING AND OTHER ROB BERIES WITH VIOLENCE.—The metropolitan and City Police authorities are making extraordinary efforts to sup press the monstrous crimes of garotting and other street robberies, effected with violence, which are now of nightly occurrence in the metropolitan and suburban districts. At nightfall additional constables are placed on the various beats, and who confer with each other on meeting. A large number of detectives and officers in plain clothes are also employed as patroles, the whole being under the superin tendonce of an inspector of each division, assisted by ser geants and acting sergeants, selected from the most active and intelligent consta b les. The h aun t s of thieves are watched vigila n tl y , and their movements report ed, the ruf flans, however, in s ome i nstances man age to elude the vigi lance and activity, of the police, despite who se exertions several robberies have been committed. These are supposed by the police to have been effected through the means of scouts (principally females), who signal to their accomplices when a policeman is near or absent as the case may be, LATEST NEWS PARIS, DEC. 6.

The Neue Preussische (Kreuz) Zeitung of this evening says : "The statement of some Berlin papers that all Generals commanding divisions and all Chief Pre sidents of the Provincial Governments have been summoned to Berlin, is without foundation so far as concerns the former. " The Presidents of the Provincial Governments only are expected here, as usual, to report to the Government on the proceedings of the Provincial Diets." BUCHAREST, DEC. 4. Reliable information having been received that a supply of arms, the destination of which was un known, was to be conveyed across the Principalities, the Government gave orders for their seizure. The Servian Government, however, having offi cially claimed the ownership of the weapons, and requested for them free passage across the Rouman territory, the arms were immediately ordered to be • restored." ATHENS, DEC. 1, 5 45 p.m. Public opinion, being irritated by an unfavour able telegram, has obtained from Government a lebiscite for the election of Prince Alfred. ATHENS, DEC. 1. The Provisional Government has prevented de monstrations in favour of the Duke de Leuchten berg, which were in course of preparation. The people have compelled the editor of the Acon newspaper, notorious for Russian sympathies, to quit the country. Disturbances have :taken place at Patras, occa sioned by demonstrations in favour of the election of Prince Alfred. Several riots which had broken out among the peasantry have been appeased. TURIN, DEC. 5, (Evening). No change has taken place in the political situation. Signori Cassinis and Pasolini are charged with the formation of a Ministry.

The following is the text of M. de Sartiges's address to King Victor Emmanuel on presenting his credentials as Ambassador .to the Court of Turin : " Sire—The Emperor having . honoured me with the mission of representing . his Government at your Majesty's Court, I am happy, as my first duty, to be enabled to communicate to your Ma jesty the :assurance directly given me by my august Sovereign of his sincere and unwavering feelings of affection and sympathy towards your Majesty and Italy. I shall fulfil his intentions by endeavouring to maintain and consolidate the good understanding existing between Italy and France, a task which will be rendered easy by my desire to be agreeable to your Majesty, and by your high benevolence which I solicit before hand. I have the honour to present to your Ma jesty the credentials with which his Majesty the Emperor of the French accredits me to your august person as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary." The King replied that he was highly gratifed to hear, by the Emperor's direct commands, the assurances of the sincere and constant sentiments of affection for his person and sympathy for Italy, the destiny of which is intimately connected with that of France. He added that the qualities which distinguished the representative of his august ally was a pledge in his eyes that the relations between the two Goverments would preserve their character of mutual confidence which exists between the two dynasties and the two nations. RUSSIA AND GREECE. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 30th No vember publishes the following article : " The question (if the choice of the future Sovereign of Greece is the chief topic in the foreign press. Even before this question is brought before the National Assembly, which is to meet at Athens, candidatures are brought for ward, the resolutions of the Great Powers are anticipated —even a sort of competition is established between them, as if they were not bound by engagements taken in common. " We believe we may affirm that the Russian Govern ment has never for one moment dreamt of deviating from the principle laid down by the protocol signed at London on the 3d of February, 1830, and which excludes from the throne of Greece the members of the reigning families of the three Courts. " The majority of the foreign journals contain, on this subject, the most contradictory assertions. For instance, La _France, usually well informed, attributes to the Cabinet of London the initiative of a declaration in this sense to the two other protecting Powers. " We aro enabled to state that already on the 19th (31st) October the Imperial Cabinet formally declared that for its part it remained faithful to the spirit of the protocol of the 3d Fehruary, 1830, and that k ince then it has never varied from that attitude. " By comparing dates the conviction will be easy that that declaration followed too close upon the events that have occurred at Athens for it to have been anticipated by any similar step, and that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has been the first to call to mind the principle agreed upon in common, and to declare its resolution toobserve it faith fully under the present circumstances." THE FORTHCOMING CHRISTMAS IVOVEL7IES. (From the Era.) For some time past the metropolitan malingers have been busily preparing for the holidaye, and at this moment the various theatres exhibit a scene of activity in every department which would astound those - svho are not aware of the amount of artistic skill and mechanical labour called into requisition for the pleasures of the people. Reserving till a more seasonable period the details of the novelties in preparation at each house, we here append the titles of the several pantomimes and burlesques that will be produced on Boxing-night at the prin cipal establishments. The ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN, will have a grand pantomime, with a burlesque opening, by Mr. J. H. Byron, founded on Madame de Villeneuve's charming story of " La Belle et la Bête," and under the familiar title of "Beauty and' the Beast," presenting the old fairy tale in a novel point of view. Mr. W. H. Payne and his clever sons will have, with Mr. Charles Fenton, the prin cipal characters in the opening; and the scenery will be from the fanciful pencil of that able artist, Mr. William Calleott. DRURY-LANE, always a great house for this kind of entertainment, will open, brilliantly re-decorated, under the management of Mr. Falconer, and with a new burlesque grotesque pantomime, entitled " Little Goody Two Shoes ; or, Harlequin Cock Robin." It has been written, as usual, by Mr. E. L. Blanchard, and the incidents of Oliver Gold smith's simple story, from which the first portion of the title is derived, will be illustrated by Miss Lydia Thompson as the heroine. The new scenery by Mr. Grieve, the masks and character-appliances by the ingenious Dykwynkyn, the dances by Mr. Oscar Byrne, and the introduction of some remark able mechanical changes, will render the opening unusually attractive. The Harlequinade will be supported by Mr. Boleno and Mr. C. Lauri as Clowns, Mr. Cormack and St. Maine as Harlequins, and Madame Boleno and the Misses Gunniss as Columbines. The HAYMARKET adds to the continued attraction of Mr. Sothern's impersonation of Lord Dundreary a new burlesque, by Mr. William Brough, founded on Dr. Johnson's well-known tale of " Rasselas," in which the adventures of the famous Prince of Abyssinia will be depicted after the usual fashion I of extravaganza. The PRINCESS'S will have the advantage of Mr. William Beverley's valuable pictorial aid in a new pantomime, furnished by Mr. EL. Blanchard, and entitled " Riquet with the Tuft; or, Harlequin and Mother Shipton." Mr. Belmore and Mr. C. Sey ton will have the chief parts in the opening, and the pantomime company will comprise Mr. Milano as Harlequin, and Mr. It. Power as Clown. The LYCEUM will not open under Mr. Fechter's direction until the first week of the new year, when a new drama and a fairy extravaganza will be produced. The OLYMPIC produces a burlesque on the sub ject of " Robin Hood," written by Mr. F. C. Bur nand, and enriched with some picturesque sylvan scenery. The music will be composed and arranged by the experienced Mr. James Tully. The STRAND has its usual contribution of a bur lesque, by Mr. Byron, who has this year turned Sir Walter Scott's novel of "Ivanhoe" to the ac count of extravaganza. The ADELPHI is supplied by Mr. Byron with a burlesque on the subject of " George Barnwell," Mr. J. L. Toole, Mr. Paul Bedford, and Mrs. Alfred Mellon filling the chief parts. The SURREY pantomime is entitled "Harlequin and Mother Goose ; or, The Queen of Hearts who made some Tarts, and the Knave of Hearts who Stole them," Miss Julia St. George and Miss E. Webster playing prominent characters in the open ing. The BRITANNIA has a pantomime on the " Ara bian Nights" story of " The Sleeper Awakened." The GRECIAN has selected the capital German legend of " Number Nip" for the development of Mr. George Conquest's remarkable talent aa the hero. SAVE LEICESTER-SQUARE. It is to be hoped that the _ bourhood of Leicester-square and the friends of open spaces, will organise a proper opposition to the com pany who threaten to fill the area with a general market. Now that the ." globe" is removed, the largeness of the space, which had been forgotten, comes to light again. Thrown open, as we have said before, with trees bordering a few walks, it would be a boon and a blessing. Every inch of open space in the metropolis ought to be fought for—given up only at the sword's point, Leicester-square, first Leicester-fields, has many stories. In the house of the Earl of Leicester, at one corner, died Elizabeth Queen of Bohemia. To this house retired two Princes of Wales in dudgeon. In Saville House Peter the Great was entertained by the Marquis of Caermarthen. Poses .Plastiques and a Cafe Chantant are the present entertainments there. Sir Joshua Reynolds lived, painted, and died at No. 47 in the squat e ; Hogarth, whose house was on the opposite side, took his regular walk in the inclosure ; and after him came the great John Hun ter, who formed there that collection which has grown into the noble museum of the College of Sur geons in Lincoln's Inn-fields. However, it is not of the Leicester-square of past times that we would speak, but the Leicester-square of to-day, which we would see improved, beautified, and preserved for to-morrow, The Board of Works, if they have power, should give their aid to prevent the area from being again blocked ap.—Builder. LINES TO A LEADEN BULLET. (From Punch.) " Pisn, Nov. 26.—At ten o'clock this morning Dr. Zanetti successfully extracted the bullet from Garibaldi's wound.—Reuter's lelegram." What gold or gem, discoloured lump of lead, Now in a hero's wound no more to rankle, Outshines thee, drawn to light from that deep bed, Where thou halt lain in GARIBALDI'S ankle ? Thy lustre is such glory as redounds From hangmen's tools that wrought a Martyr's passion, Clear of the doubt that commonly surrounds Those trinkets of ecclesiastic fashion. No fable 'tie that thou didst strike him down Against oppression strong and shameless, leading A hope forlorn ; what Saint e'er won his crown In juster cause more generously bleeding? By thee ho fell upon his march to Rome, Whom the E'cct of Prance expounds her mission, Trampling the right by which he reigns at home; Propping by force the rule of superstition. True Relic, how unlike that spurious Cross, The Legionary badge false Franco wears on her I That bauble's but the mock of Honour's loss, Thou art the emblem of all lost but Honour. M Mario has abandoned to the pension fund of the,Opera the sum which was coming to him for the re presentation in which he appeared in the "Huguenots." Several of the journals state that M. Lafontaine, of the Gymnase, is about to be married to Mlle. Victoria, of the same theatre. The state of Mlle. Livry, after exciting great alarm until the last two days, has now so far improved as to allow her medical attendants to entertain hopes of her recovery. She is, however, still exceedingly weak. A new piece by M. Emile Angier, entitled L .e e Fils de Giboyer, a sort of sequel to the .4froi:o2l°%abytihs. same author, has just been brought out a t The piece was very successful on the first ni r n a g t t b h t e , , b , e u e t th a e s li i e t is a cruel satire on the " old parties" and world," disturbances, it is though t, may perhaps occur at future representations. jll th a e rY in n te c t x va t l , e l l n e g . a l g . 3 e a d t t toi r r e and M is d engag eme nts in Vienna, London, and being filled up by appear in a new opera by Verdi. e t n t. turn s t the t' e Parisa sui n g till season; no t be generally known that the n ew Algeria," is the production o f Mi ss C raw- Nal t les m , where ma y she is to ork "Through fword;daughter of the late Mr. Sharman Crawford, formerly mem b e r for Rochdale.

The estimate for the sums required for the ensue• ng year was brought up by the finance committee, as follows : Sewerage and Drainage,—Sums required for works during the year 1863, exclusive of nti° drainrigo works, and other special a c c ount w orks, is £26,800; rent, taxes of pumping stations and contingent works, £10,250, making a total of £37,050. Mr. DALTON moved the adoption of this par t of the estimate, which was agreed to. Local Improvements—Xlo,ooo. Mr. DALTON then moved the adoption of thigr which he said was for carrying out local improve' ments. Mr. CAE,PMAEL, in a short speech, moved as en amendment, that the sum of £50,000 should be agreed to, for ho considered that public improve' ments were of the greatest importance, and they could only be executed by a large outlay. Much was expected of that board by the public, and he believed that they would hail with pleasure a rat e of one penny in the pound, which would yield £57,000 for such a purpose. Mr. Deputy HARRISON seconded the amendmen t and said,he fully concurred in what the honourable member had said who had just sat down. Mr. F. DOULTON, M.P., said he objected to so large a sum being raised for street improvement' at a time when the ratepayers of Lambeth, th e parish he had the honour to represent, were paying 6s. in the pound, and would probably next year have to pay 7s. He said the board ought to con' sider seriously before they added to those very heavy burdens. Mr. FREEMAN thought the ratepayers ought not to have their burden increased. He would not ob ject to £lO,OOO, but he could not vote for so WV a sum as £50,000. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he should support the amendment, because it would not press upon the ratepayers, but would be charged on the landed in terest, which had both the legal and moral right 'co bear it. Since the commencement of the board, which was about seven years ago, they had spent in street improvements £21,000, which he consi dered a miserable sum. Mr. WILKINSON thought that instead of £21,000 the sum came nearer to £140,000. He hoped th e board would pause before they put such an amoun t aside for the purposes contemplated. If they agre 4 to the £50,000 it would hold out an inducement to the City and the metropolis to scramble for it. After a long discussion the amendment was neg °: tived, and the original resolution carried by a larg e' majority. The estimate for general purposes, amounting . t ° £19,129 55., was agreed to. On the motion for the adoption of the er.pe° e° under the Sale of Gas Acts, the Chairman t 11 1; nounced that the money spent under those acts to be spread over three years. The repayment of sums amounting to £6 0 ;g57 16s. 6d., and the compensation to late offic e ut amounting to £1,453 175., were agreed to wit ° dissension. ega The clerk, in the absence of the engineers r the engineer's report upon the mai n drainage works.

A MEMBER moved that it be referred to the Thames Embankment Committee. Mr, H. L. TAYLOR objected, and moved 35 till ! amendment that the communications do l ie on tku table. The amendment was put and n egatived, as fagf ag also the original motion. a- After the usual routine business the b oard a j ourned.
