Lord DERBY continues still indefatigably to pre side over the meetings of the Executive Relief Committee at Manchester. So far, as one of the great responsible magnates living there, in the midst of that suffering population of Lancashire, the ex-Premier is fulfilling his duty as a patriotic Servant of the Crown. But—we wonder very much 'what the noble earl thinks, in the pauses of his labours as Chairman—we wonder very much what be thinks of—some such calculation, let us, as the following, but just now put forth by that, (in every sense) complete letter writer and Chris tian Patrician, S. G. 0., otherwise the Rev. Lord SIDNEY GODOLPHIN OSBORNE : "Figures in a subscription list," observes this uncompromising writer of bold truth, "are a very fallacious gauge of the real value, as a work of charity, of each done.- tion. There are curates now pledged to from 10s. to £1 a month, for three months, from salaries and entire sources of revenue under LlOO a-year. Com- pare this with one or two thousands down, or by instalments from incomes of landed proprietors, of, perhaps, from £lOO,OOO to £150,000 a-year. In many instanced itAkse incomes in the north have grown from a very small value to their present prince: rtnt•roll by each generation of proprietors finding their land increasing enormously in value from the increase of the local manufacturing inte rests. Have these men done their duty yet? Let us wait for a reply, as patiently as we can, until after the great county meeting on the 2d of the znotrth. What there is of wealth in Lancashire stands now indicted by public opinion, it has to plead, in its defence, what it has done to meet Lancashire distress." What says Lord DERBY to that plain speaking ? What will the ex-Pre mier and his fellow landed - proprietors. there in the North, say, in answer to S. G. 0. (if they venture to refer to his calculations in this par ticular at all), at the grand forthcoming assemblage eOnvened_ in aid of the distress, for the 2d of De cember ? Bringing the truth home immediately afterwards to the apprehension of all, by a very simple comparison, S. G. 0. continues par exemple : --;-" My Poor rates are, as the rule, between ss. anel 64. in the potind. I accepted my preferment know ing that fact ; the tenantry around me took their farms on rents calculated as liable to this amount of poor rate ; GOD gives to me and to them each year that produce of the earth from which my tithe, their rent, and the wages of the labourers are paid r I "mend turnips ceased to grow in Dorset, the :1 : 1 „hlYDQwer we have to meet, not only the 6 s. rate , 1011 v'a calculated, but the rate then necessary LO Ba • ve our Poor from starving, is a call on what "17e.hav l e -eads td—our business gone from us. I hope w e should do our best, but I know in such extremity'others would save our v 7 nuld come to our help; they gm wecouldlabourersdo no from starving, even if they thou no more than we have done.' It is a simple, but a rastforcible, indeed, as it ap pears to us, an irresistible way of putting it. So c onclusive is it, to our appreh n'i°as an enforce ment at once of the necessity local efforts at re lief in the afflicted districts (it matters just abao lqtely nothing whether th ey be agricultural manufacturing), and effJrts in a id ofthose or oselocally a ttempted .

" I hrtTe no desire to screen screws," quoth S. G. 0., when he has th us frankly, according to his habit, said his say : adding, " I have no wish to shield from just rebuke any plan who deserves it." Who Will not credit his as sertion, in all the fullness and force of its applica tion ? But who, while crediting it to the very uttermost, will not lay well to heart the words that thereupon immediately follow, words articulated, one might fancy (reading them), in a tone of solemn abjuration to the country at large—" But I earnestly pray at this moment to see Southern sym pat'ny Row on, unturned in its course of love by arty argument, drawn from the hardness of heart of TUE SUN, LONDON,' TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, HEM —____ any man, be he of North or South."

Princes there are (in Fortune), landowning princes as well as millowning princes—there in the midst of that afflicted, thickly-peopled countryside in the North guage : " Rarely has the world rendered an account to itself of the singular, complicated, and confused mechanism of the Papal Government at Rome, considered as a temporal Power. It may be defined in these few words :—The de fects of all kinds of Governments without their advantages, united in one single Government." In 1847 we have the following from the French Ambassador, M. Rossi, to M. GUIZOT In ten years, in twenty years, I cannot say exactly when, there will not be in the Italian states a man, a woman, a functionary, a magistrate, a monk, or a soldier, in whom the national sentiment will not predominate over every other. What can prevent this, unless we pretend to exterminate Italy and make it a land of helots ? We must resign ourselves to what a future, more or less distant, .—who, if they but listened to the dictates of their own consciences, would, by promptly coming in aid at last of the bitter distress around them, almost at once scatter our solicitude as to the fatal effects of the advancing winter. Then, when every spontaneous and volunteered effort shall have been made in earnest, and continued to the very utter most, then when the worst comes to the worst, Go vernment would step in with its last beneficent assistance in the shape of a National Grant. carries in its womb." Indeed, the diplomatic representations of Rome by France cannot be better summed up than in the recent words of M. BILLAULT himself in a speech in the Senate : " During the last 50 years all the French Ambassadors at Rome, those most pious and most sincerely devoted to re ligion, have all used the same language. Look at the long list of the glorious or illustrious names who have succes sively represented France in the Eternal City ; there is not one who has not passed the most formal condemnation on the defects of that Government ; I do not except, at the period when the feeling was the strongest in favour of Rome, in 1814 and 1816." While Irishmen are fighting in Hyde Park, and shouting on Blackheath for the temporal power of the POPE—while Sir G. BOWYER and Popish priests are excusing such holy violence, Prince NAPOLEON and his editor, M. HIIBAINE, are exposing the in tolerable vices of this Irish idol. It appears that in connection with his famous speech on the oman question in the Senate, the Prince collected a large number of documents bearing on the sub ject, but they were of course too voluminous to be read as part of a speech. M. HUBAINE now gives them to the world, and a pretty decisive testimony they are, if any at this time of day were really needed, to the historically unbearable character of what all Catholic Italy now denounces as its worst enemy. The pamphlet goes back to the As curious a document as any is one by the pre sent EMPEROR himself, addressed to the POPE, while he was residing in Italy in 1831, and ani mated by the youthful ardour of only twenty-three years' experience, two of the concluding paragraphs will indicate the views of the nascent Imperial occu pier of Rome : " It is very bold in me who am nobody, to dare to write to your Holiness, but I hope to be able to be useful to you. There appears to be a decided determination to effect a separation of the temporal from the spiritual power. Bu your Holiness is beloved, and the general belief is that you would be ready to remain at Rome with all your riches, your Swiss Guards, and the Vatican, and to allow a Pro- visional Government to be formed for temporal affairs. . . " ' Nothing more remains for me but to assure your Holiness that all my efforts are directed towards a good object. lam not aware what reports have been made to your Holiness, but I can assure you that I have heard almost all the young men, even those the least moderate, say that if Gregory XVI. renounces the temporal power, they will adore him, and would themselves became the firmest supports of a religion purified by a great Pope, and which has for basis the most liberal book that exists—the Holy Gospel. 17th and lath centuries, exhibiting the vicious and rapacious character of the Papacy from the testimony of a succession of diplomatic persons, whose evidence is unimpeachable. It all combines to show that, under the old monarchy, rapacity, nepotism, vicious administration, and ex tracting enormous sums of money by every device from every Catholic kingdom, were the acknow ledged characteristics of the Papacy. On perusing the whole, the only wonder is how those who knew all this could have any faith in a religion thus administered. Indeed, the outrageous infidelity of the French Revolution, and the universal disbelief in the Church, of public men and educated men, seems only natural. They knew no Christianity but that of Rome, and they were quite sure that if that were Christianity, the heathenism of a SOCRATES and PLATO was as good or better. " NAPOLEON •LOITIS B ONAPA.RTE." Such a series of documents do ono thing at leas' —they exonerate English Protestants from the per fectly groundless suspicion of bigotry in their de nunciations of the Papacy. Englishmen have al ways kicked against the rule of Churchmen. They did so before the Reformation, they have done so since. They now see a noble kingdom marred in its unity, cruelly disturbed in its social life, and its capital occupied by obnoxious foreigners, all under pretence of upholding the temporal power of the POPE. They see the temporal subjects of the POPE, themselves, subjected to a degrading and malicious Government of Ecclesiastical " Eunuchs for the kingdom of this world's sake." Their whole soul loaths the tyranny, the avarice, the imposture of the whole thing. They could respect the religious chief of a portion of their fellow subjects, but they cannot respect an Arch Pharisee, whose religion is a cloak for the most sordid ambition. The next portion of the pamphlet brings us to the times of the BONAFARTES and the First Empire. The documents, which are fully given, relate prin cipally to the year 1810, when the French Govern ment had an earnest struggle with the Papacy to effect some reasonable reforms ; but all in vain. In L all those documents, the necessity of separating the temporal power from the spiritual is affirmed in the strongest terms and with every imaginable kind of argument. But the everlasting non possuinus was as potent then as now in warding off anything in the shape of salutary political remonstrance. We then come to documents on the Papacy sub sequent to the Restoration. Still they bear the same general character. It was impossible for statesmen of any school to witness patiently the abuses practised in the name of Religion at Rome. M. CHATEAUBRIAND himself, after a few caustic re marks on the reigning Pontiff, adds some remarks, which we commend to the notice of the POPE's " brass band" in our House of Commons. He says: -- " The radical defect in the political constitution of this country may be readily discovered. They are old men who choose as Sovereign an old man like themselves; and this one, having become master in his turn, appoints aged men as cardinals. Tho supreme power turning in this defective circle is always exercised on the edge of the tomb. The PRINCE never remains long enough on the throne to carry out any of the plans of amelioration which he may have conceived. It is necessary that the POPE should have resolution enough to make at once a numerous Promotion of young cardinals so as to secure a majority at the future election of - a young Pontiff. But the regulations of SESTETS V., which give the hat to those holding office in the palace ; the empire of habits and customs ; the interests of those who receive gratifications at every change of the tiara; the individual ambition of the cardinale, who prefer short reigns in order to multiply their chances to the Papacy, and a thousand other obstacles too long to mention, are opposed to the introduction of this youthful element into the Sacred College." Some remarkable passages from a despatch of M. CHATEAUBRIAND in April, 1829, of course not long before the Liberal revolution in France, which in spired vain hopes in Italy, read now like prophecy —and they were political prophecy. Describing what he thought of Italian movements, he says-- "The world tikes for conspiracies what is only a general uneasiness, the result of the times, the struggle of old society with the new, the combat of the decrepitude of the old institutions against the energy of young generations, and, lastly, the comparison which every one makes between what is and wha . , might be. Let us not dissemble the fact; the great spectacle of powerful France, free and happy, that grand spectacle which strikes the ,- ..yes of nations which still remained, or have again fallen, under the yoke, excites regrets and nourishes hopes." But what follows further on seems almost a prevision of 1859 an 1860 : "At Naples the weakness of the Government is only saved by the cowardice of the people. The antipathies of the territorial divisions also adds to the difficulties of an internal movement; but if any impulse were to be given from without, or if any Prince within the Alps were to grant a charter to his subjects, a revolution would take place, becaus•,e all is ripe for it. More fortunate than us and instructed by our experience, the people would econo mise in the crimes and misfortune of which we have been so IN odigal." A series of remarkable documents follows, all puintiug definitely enough to one conclusion. A cardinal himself, BERcETTI said to the French Aul bEtssador in Dcember, 1832 : it ' w ` i l ll ly ta p k e e rs p o l n ac a e l t o t pini little ois h n sooner tat s o e r cu a l a l r i is t ' t a l e ti o l a n t is c ' r, u inevitable ; never will the POPE pronounce it, and ho will be right— . 1 " let. B ecause it will not suit him to take on him self all the hatred which an existence ruinous and humiliating for the cardinals will provoke. " 2dly. because that measure, spontaneously proclaimed by the Pope, has for speedy consequence the complete de struction of the ecclesiastical Government. . . It will be better for him to resign himself to the formally expressed will of Europe than to confess himself vanquished by his subjects, and to allow a concession to be wrested from him far more fatal in its consequence than in itself." The eloquent description, by M. LAMARTINE, Papal Governm en t, i s well worth quoting :11f the tire, but it would be too lon g .

BERLIN, Nov. 24. The Keno Preusiche (Kreutz) Zeitung of this evening publishes the reply given by the King to several fresh addresses expressing devotion which have lately been presented to his Majesty. The following passages occur in this reply : "There exists in all classes of society an agita- tion which grieves me, because the people have been made to believe that the Constitution is in danger. This is not the case. By standing still or retrograding public detriment is caused. The pro gress at which I aim will only be a wise and mode rate one. "People speak of making up differences and con cluding peace ! Who has broken peace P Not I. " I hope that the opinion which is opposed to my acts is not the expression of the majority of the people, but only of a party in the country, which, I am sorry to say, has misled many, and that no conflict will arise. The weakening of the power of Prussia compromises the dignity of Prussia, and the realisation of her mission in Germany, which is to bring about, not the unity but the union of Ger many. Should evil days come I hope that all well disposed people will rally round me." PRINCESS'S lIIEA7.RE. THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE, FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 24. A very agreeable version of Scribe's highly in genious comedy "Lo Verre D'Eau," was produced at this theatre last evening with unqualified success. Mr. Oxenford, its adapter, has trans ferred the scene of action from the Court of St. James's to the Court of Portugal, and rendered its spirited dialogue in very terse and pleasant Eng lish. The " \Terre D'Eau" is a specimen of the drama of intrigue on the French sage, which ex hibits to perfection the unequalled art of French construction. Without anything very distinc tive or very humorous in the characters—or anything very elevated, or even agreeable in the subject—which is simply a satire on Court society, as shown under the - old regime, the attention, if not the sympathies, is seized and attracted to the end by the singular skill with which the movement is put together from first to last. Even though the incidents are much alike, the infinite art with , which they aro developed, and interwoven, scene I by scene, really renders the action a study almost as engrossing as a game of chess_ Any minute description of the plot is wholly out of our power. It would be like endeavouring to give our readers a written idea of a Chinese puzzle. Suffice it that its general scope is the rivalry of two Court favourites for the possession of place and power, Don Estevan D'Alcunha, and the Duchess Marialva, who, in their game of finesse and strategy, make use of a young couple of Court attendants, Se nora Beatrix de Mendora and Don Miguel de Naronha, who love each other, and whose happi ness being the sincere aim of the said Senor Estevan, BOURSE, Nov. 24.—The market was heavy at the opening, and showed rather a downward ten dency, but afterwards rallied.

The acting of this comedy was in many respects most creditable. Mrs. Buckingham White played the DuchessMarialva with an easy dignity and spirit, which showed how sensible has been her ad vance as a comic artist in recent years. Her intel ligetice and graceful bearing, combined with the advantage of her handsome person, render her now an acquisition to any theatre in London.

Mr. Shore, always intelligent and earnest, was very agreeaV.e in her lover, whilst Mr. Vining, in Don Estevan, is to be congratulated on an effort which is to be numbered among the pleasantest and most artistic that we have ever had at his hands. Wholly exempt from that excess which we have so often had cause to charge on it, whilst more than usually distinguished by the quaint humour which just as often we have had to praise, his acting was marked throughout by an amount of ease, tact, and expression, that could scarcely have been improved. The only defect in the performance was the error of entrusting the Queen to Miss Constance Aylmer, whose professional inexperience rendered her wholly incapable of exhibiting the equal dignity and ease which such a character demands. Always intelligent, and at times spirited—still, till this young lady has been enabled to master her diffi cult art, something much simpler than such a trial should be allotted to her hands. The house was well attended, and the calls for actors and author were very hearty at the close. Had they had time so to do, the representatives of the people would duly have made known to the Upper House their resolve to restrict the outlay for the army to 111,000,000f1. ; but the Minister of War was so impatient to get the matter settled, that he at once informed the President of the Cora. mittee of Finance that the Government had been empowered by the Emperor to consent to a reduc tion of 6,000,000f1. in the Army Estimates, Al though the proceeding was excessively irregular, no one finds fault with it, as it is known to all that Count Degenfeld is a sturdy supporter of the Con stitution, though somewhat regardless of consti tutional forms and observances. The Minister of War was willing to make still greater reductions in the army, but his hand was stayed by his Sovereign, who, like the King of Prussia, has very many non-official military advisers. Origi nally it was resolved that all the cavalry regi ments should be reduced, but his Majesty, at the instigation of his military Chancellerie, sub sequently made an exception in favour of the "Prince Charles of Prussia" Cuirassiers, a regiment which distinguished itself in the year 1619, when the Emperor Ferdinand I. was subjected to very great moral pressure by the Austrian Estates. Count Dogentela Lula the Emperor that such favour shown to one regiment would not fail to produce a bad impression ou the army, and the veteran was right, for military men now speak much of the "questionable" conduct of the Prince Charles of Prussia Cuirassiers during the year 1849. The draught of the so-called Finance-law for 1863, which will be valid for the whole empire, is in sub stance as follows:-- "Art. 1. The total expenditure for the administrations year 1863 is fixed at 366,479,6611 Art. 2. Of the foregoing sum 304,585,0741 will be `covered' by means of direct and indirect taxes. Arts, 3 and 4.

Art. 7. The produce of the bonds belonging to the third issue of the Lottery Loan of 1860, which the bank, in consequence of the new convention, will have to place at the disposal of the State, is also to be employed in covering the deficit. Art. 8. The remainder of the deficit is to be covered by means of a loan of 30,000, 00 0 1 1. Art. 9. Should the last mentioned sum prove insufficient for the purpose in ques tion, the Government will, by means of a separate law, be empowered to raise the money which may be requisite. Art. 10. The Finance Department is directed to put the present law into execution, and to obtain the above-men tioned loan on as favourable terms as possible," EXTENSIVE BURGLARY AT LEEDS.—In the course of last Friday night an extensive burglary was com mitted at Leeds. The office of the Aire and Calder Navi gation Company, one portion of which is occupied as the dwelling of the manager, was broken into, and the sum of £B3O, in Bank of England and provincial notes and gold, was stolen therefrom. The circumstances of the robbery show that the perpetrators, or some of them, had been well acquainted with the premises ; for after admission had been obtained a key had been taken out of a room in the dwelling, a safe had been opened in the office with the key, and the money abstracted. While on the premises the thieves had regaled themselves with two bottles of sherry. It would not be prudent to say more at present than that the police are in possession of such information as is likely to lead to the apprehension of come, if not the whole, of the delinquents. Though the robbery ap?ears to have been committed with deliberation, the sum of £l3O, or there abouts, was lett behind in the safe from which the £B3O was taken. GLASGOW, Nov. 22.--Cotton.—ln the beginning of the week th 9 market was very dull, with drooping prices, but closes firmer, at a reduction of Id. per lb. on the quota tion of last week. Goods and Yarns—The market con tinues dull and reducal, as the production is, it appears; in excess of the demand. Iron—The ptg iron-market, which was pretty firm on Monday last at 56s 9d cash for warrants, has since become weaker, and the price has given way 9d per ton.

TILE FEDERAL FINANCES.—Ths following hope ful view of the future of the Federal finances is from a recent circular of Mr. Satterthwaite. It is only fair that as the English public have the black side in all American matters presented to them so frequently, should occasionally catch a glimpse of the views entertained by practical persons who do not believe that the whole nation is drifting rapidly and helplessly on the road to "universal ruin," and " financial chaos." The arrival of the American Govern ment at this latter stage was predicted six months ago, by a certain financial writer, as sure to occur at the expiration of "ninety days"—anothe r proof of the folly of prop hec y . Mr. Satterthwaite says :_:s The total debt of the F ederal. Government is stated t o h ave reac h e d 660,000,000 dols., and the expens es o f the Aar a r e estimated at not over 1,000,000 dole. per d a y, so that if t h e war s hould continue another 12 months the debt would be about 1,000,000,000 dols. ; now, supposing this to be funded in a 5 per cent. Stock, the annual interest would be 50,000,000 dols., or say £10,000,000 sterling -_a sum which need not bo difficult for a powerful and wealthy nation of about twenty millions of inhabitants to raise ; even supposing the burden to r est on the Northern and West ern States alone , —.From the " 419ney Xadiet Review," 7HE SLAVE TRADE OF 711 E WHI7E NILE ---- o -- James W. Baker, in a letter dated Khartoum, Sept. 20, says :—Egypt and the Soudan. are sup plied with slaves kid-napped from the tribes of the White Nile in the amount of many thousands per annum. The head-quarters from which the expeditions annually start is Khartoum, the capital of the Sou dan, situated at the junction of the Blue with the While Nile. At Khartoum is a Governor-General, the European Powers being represented by Eng lish, French, and Austrian Consuls, The black population of this town is composed of the dregs of the human race ; they are principally employed in the White Nile trade by the merchants—the latter being Europeans, Turks, Syrians, and Arabs. The produce of the White Nile is confined to slaves and ivory. In former years ivory was generally obtained in exchange for glass beads, copper rings, and lance heads ; but competition has so inundated the tribes with these articles and raised the value of ivory that it is now impossible to procure it by such exchange. Cattle are now the only medium of barter. It being impossible to convey cattle from Khartoum for this purpose, the trade of the White Nile has resolved itself into piratical expeditions, and is thus simply conducted :—The merchant in Khartoum sends a party from 80 to 200 armed men in large sailing vessels well supplied with am-, munition and with a certain amount of copper rings and glass beads for payment to natives who act as porters in conveying ivory to the boats. Upon arrival among a tribe rich in cattle, they attack a village by surrounding it and firing upon the inha bitants, killing or putting to flight the men and capturing the women and children and cattle. The latter now form the merchant's stock in trade; the women and children are fastened together and driven off to the boats as slaves. Some thousand head of cattle being thus secured, they are driven by the armed force into the interior, among tribes rich in ivory, who—if too powerful to be openly attacked —are bartered with, and the ivory is conveyed to the boats. By this barter the trader's supply of cattle being exhausted, he leagues himself with a neighbouring tribe hostile to the last, and with them he invades his recent customers, and steals back all the cattle, giving one-half to his new allies, and bartering the other half for ivory. This affair being concluded, he is again without cattle; thus, he makes a fresh alliance, and, if possible, he robs his old allies ; thus the same cattle are fre quently stolen and exchanged several times, their produce in ivory being carried to the boats, together with the captives from the various razzias. The vessels being loaded with slaves and ivory retire to the trader's fortified establishment, where both cargo and slaves are deposited ; in the meanwhile the piratical boats depart upon further expeditions. The voyage being completed, the ivory is brought to Khartoum. The wages of the crew are paid in slaves, at about one-third of their actual value, thus giving the men a zest for the trade. The slaves re maining at the depot are draughted into the Egyptian possessions, and sold as opportunities offer, their necks being secured on the march in a long cleft pole, to which they are also handcuffed. The frightful atroc:ties committed by the troops of banditti thus employed by the traders of Khartoum are beyond description ; but I will not at present descend to details, it being sufficient to declare the existing state of the White Nile trade, which can not be generally known in England. So infatuated are the wretches of Khartoum for the lucrative sport of man-hunting that I can procure no men for escort upon my southern expedition, as they will not engage to an Englishman known as an anti siavetrader. The British flag, in some instances, covers cargoes of slaves on the waters of the White Nile. DEATHS OF A BEGGAR AND AN UN• FORTUNATE. Yesterday Dr. Lankester held two inquest at the Crown and Anchor, King-street, Seven-dials, first on the body of Georgina Savage, aged 71, and se condly on Eliza Evens, aged 40, whose deaths oc curred as follows In the case of 6avage it appeared she was an im portunate beggar of some 10 years' standing. On Wednesday evening last information was taken to the police-station, in George-street, St. Giles's, to the effect that a woman was in a dying state at the bottom of Clarke's-buildings. The police found the woman very ill, when she said, " My dear, I can't - walk; take me to the house." Finding she was not drunk, she was taken to St. Giles's Workhouse,and ' was instantly admitted. She was in rags, and covered with vermin. She said she had had but little food for days, and received arrow-root and brandy, and the necessary stimulants, by order of Mr. Bennett, the surgeon, but died at four o'clock on the following morning. The examination after death showed her body to be in a deplorable con dition, and' death was the result of intemperate habits. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. The second case was that of an unfortunate who was found by two others of the same class sleeping on the stairs of No. 3, Barley.court, St. Giles's, on Sunday fortnight. She was afforded lodging by those who found her occasionally walking the streets at night. On Thursday morning last she was found, after a restless night, with her lips blue, and in a dying state.- Application was made to the workhouse for her admission, and at length during the afternoon the pauper chair was sent to convey her to the infirmary. She, however, was found dead in the meantime. Mr. Bennett set forth the internal appearance of the head and body, stat ing that undoubtedly her dissolute course of life had caused . her. death. A similar verdict to the above Vas returned. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 24. The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Louise, walked and drove in the grounds this morning. The Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, Princess Alex andra, and Princess Helena, went to Kew and visited the Duchess of Cambridge. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston loft town yester day for Wrest, Bedfordshire, on a visit to the Countess Cowper. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Governors of Gibraltar, Malta, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and from the Gover nors of the North - American Provinces and Bermuda. Despatches were sent to the Governors of the settlements on the west coast of Africa, and to the Lord High Commis sioner of the lonian Islands. The Russian Ambassador and the Baroness Brunnow have arrived at Chesham House from Brighton. The Marquis of Londonderry still continues in a very impaired state of health. The Countess Granville is suffering from illness, and her cor dition occasions much anxiety to her family. THE SERGEANT-SURGEONCY.—Mr. Caesar Henry Hawkins, F.R.S., has just been selected as sergeant-sur• peon to her Majesty, in the vacancy occasioned by the de cease of Sir Benjamin Brodie, Bart. This gentleman has filled the president's chair of the Royal College of Surgeons on two occasions, viz., in 1852, and again during the past year. Mr. W. H. Stephenson, of the Treasury, has been appointed chairmain of the Board of Inland Revenue, in the room of Mr. Pressly, who has resigned. Mr. Ste phenson has been long recognised as one of the ablest of the permanent Treasury officials, and no better head could be chosen for the department over which ho is about to preside. General Sir J. Burgoyne, G.C.8., inspected the Engineers at Brompton Barracks, Chatham, on Thursday, and then attended to a valuable lecture given by Mr. Pole, C.E. (member of the Iron-Plate Committee), on Iron Bridges, being afterwards entertained by the Director, Colonel Harness, C. 8., and the officers of the establishment. On Tuesday last an exceedingly interesting lecture on the uses of copper was given by Mr. Abel, chemist to the War Department, to the officers under instruction at Brompton Barracks.—Army and Nary Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—The Court of Assizes of the seine tried, the day before yesterday, a young Eng lishman and his wife, named Atkinson, on a charge of passing gold coin which had been reduced in weight by the action of acids sr by scraping. According to the evidence, the female prisoner, on the 20th August last, bought two pears for 20c,, of a fruiterer in the Rue des Vinaigriers, for which she paid with a gold sfr, piece, and received the change ; but before she had left the shop the fruiterer dis covered that the sfr. piece was thinner than it ought to be, and insisted on the return of the change. During the dis pute which ensued, a sergeant-de-Dille came up and took the prisoner into custody. When searched, several pieces of gold were found in her portemonnaie, and in one com partment were four pieces which, when weighed, were found too light by nearly 2 grammes, so that they were worth sfr. 43c. less than their nominal value. On searching the lodgings of her husband, who is a dentist, several bottles containing nitric and sulphuric acids were found, and a paper, in which were particles of gold, weighing in all about a gramme. The husband was immediately arrested, and the coins which had been found on his wife, as well as the articles discovered at their lodgings, were submitted to a competent person for analysis. The analyser stated that none of the acids found in the prisoners' posses sion would dissolve gold alone, but would do so with the addition of a little salt. Ho had, however, no reason to suppose that the prisoners had had recourse to such a pro cess. He also stated that each of the Mr. pieces had only lost weight to the value of 20e., and that ire all probability the prisoner had only used the coins for the purpose of gilding by electricity. After hearing the prisoners' counsel and the summing up of the President, the jury retired to deliberate, and soon returned into Court with a verdict of not guilty. The prisoners were accordingly acquitted, and on leaving the Court thanked the jury for having done them justice.-- Galignani. THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR IN DUBLIN.—A Dub lin paper says, in reference to the particulars of an outrage said to have been recen tly comm itted on a young lady in the inv ecsotnignattye(atfbDy the ubl constabulary,in, that the whocaseh haasbvee coentmhoe to theroughly conclusion that no outrage was committed. MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS. Among the entertainments in London the Mon day Popular Concerts have long since risen into an institution. They do now—weekly—for the million what the late M. jullien used to do in his time—an nually. They place within reach of the multitude, at the ridiculously small charge of One Shilling, the most charming effusions of the musical genius of the great composers. More effectually than any other entertainments that we know of, they refine the tastes of the world at large—of the so-called uneducated, but in truth the but partially educated, classes. Last evening afforded an undentante example, in its way, of the general excellence of these performances. Herr Joachim stood forth, es usual, of course, in the first rank among the artists engaged there upon the platform—as the leading violinist. Mr. , Charles Halie presided as the pianist. Miss Constance Roden and Mr. Santley shared the honours of the evening as the vocalists. Beethoven and Cherubini—Dussek and Pe.esiello—Haydn and Sebastian Bach—contributed to the delight of the audienee. How far, or rather by what choice selec tions, the memoranda of the programme will best indicate. The First Part of last night's concert comprising within it the— Grand Septet, in E flat, op. 20, for violin, viola, clarionet, horn, bassoon, violoncello, and double bass (by desire) .. Beethoven. Song, " Ave Maria" New Song, "The Farewell" Sonata, in G, op. 19, No. 1, for pianoforte solo (No. 16 of Halle's edition) The Second Part consisting of the— Sonata, in B flat, for pianoforte and violin Dussek, Aria, "10 son Lindoro" (Barbiere di Siviglia) Prelude, Loure, Minuets and Gavotte, in E major, for violin alone Song, " Oh I Moon of Night" Quartet, in E flat, op. 71, No. 3, for two violins, viola, and violoncello .. Haydn, Beethoven's superb septet—so well known, and yet never by one note palling upon us by repetition —caused Herr Joachim to have grouped around him as his brother executants, H. Webb at the viola, Lazarus at the clarinet, C. Harper at the horn, Hutchins at the bassoon, Piatti at the violoncello, and C. Severn at the double bass. The scherzo winning for itself an unanimous encore, and Herr Joachim, shining above all his gifted coadjutors by reason of the still exceptional brilliancy of his performances. Con spicuous among the encores of the evening, how ever, must be at once especially particularised Miss Roden's really delicious rendering both of Cheru bini's dulcet "Ave Maria," and (from the' Barbiere" of Paesiello), the lovely aria " Io son Lindoro." The prayerful, supplicatory tenderness of the Ave Maria, Miss Roden gave with a pathetic fervour and a re fined feeling that the audience to the full appre ciated. But still more it seemed by their plaudits at the close of the aria afterwards (in the second part), they evidenced delight at her rendering of that exquisite inspiration of Paesiello. Mr. Santley's two songs—one of,them (Signor Piata's) never heard before in public —were heartily ap plauded, as they, indeed, deserved to be. Mr. Mann's had once previously been introduced to the musical world—by Mr. Santley's performance of it —not long since in the Crystal Palace at Syden ham. Haydn's quartet, it will be seen from the programme, brought the concert of last evening to a noble conclusion. The hall, as usual, was crowded throughout; and, as usual, the conductor's baton was wielded with all his wonted delicacy and aplomb by Mr. Benedict.. THE PATENT LAW COMMISSION.—The first meet ing of the commission appointed last session, on the motion of Sir Hugh Cairns, " to inquire into the working of the patent laws," was held on the 19th inst., at the offices of the commission, No. 2, Victoria-street, Westminster. The members of the commission present were Lord Stanley, chairman; Chief Justice Erle, Vice-Chancellor Wood, the Attorney-General, Sir H. Cairns, R. Grove, Esq., Q.C., and W. Fairbairn, Esq. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—As the drag of Sir Velters Cornewall, one of the masters of the Herefordshire hounds, was leaving Hereford on Saturday about 7 o'clock, a terrific accident happened to it, which, for the time, we fear, places some lives in jeopardy. The vehicle, contain ing Miss Cornewall and a party of friends, was driven by the coachman, and was on its way to Moccas Court, about eleven miles from Hereford. The night was foggy, and it appeared that the coachman relying upon his sight did not make use of his lamps; but when about two miles from the city, and going at the pace which this team of high-steppers is capable of, they were met by a brewery dray returning home. The force of the collision was such that the break was dashed to pieces, and the bed of the brewer's dray broken from the shafts. The dray-horse galloped into the city with the shafts attached to the harness. 'I he leg of one of Sir Velter's horses is said to have been broken, but what is still more lamentable is that all Sir Velter's company Cornewall, a thrown out with great violence, and M iss a very amiable young lady, received injuries, the extent of which, IA xtet yet knowA,—.l3irminghqm X9Bs. ALLEGED MURDER. The inquest touching the death of Jane Lewis was resumed at the Star Inn, Ystradd, near Ponty pridd, on Friday. The deceased's bonnet was pro duced, and the police-officer described the position in which he found it, which clearly showed that deceased was on the ground with her bonnet on when the deed was committed. Police constable Thomas, Sarah Reece, and Sarah John were exa mined, and their evidence corroborated the testi mony of the other witnesses as to the accused, Thomas Edmunds, being intimate with the deceased. The deputy-coroner (Mr. Thomas Williams) summed up the evidence. He directed the particular atten tion of the jury to whether the injuries were self inflicted, and if not, was the evidence sufficiently clear to implicate any one in particular. As regards whether the injuries were self-inflicted or not, the medical gentlemen examined had given a decided opinion that the injuries were of such a character that it was impossible they could have been inflicted by the deceased herself. It had been pretty clearly proved that the razor was the property of the ac cused, and therefore the act must have been perpe trated by some one having access to the house. It they did not feel themselves justified in sending any one for trial then they could return an open ver dict. The jury consulted for three-quarters of an hour, and returned a verdict that deceased com mitted suicide while in a fit of temporary insanity. The depnty-coroner remarked that he could not re concile the verdict with the evidence. The accused was then removed to Cardiff Gaol, as the police authorities have determined on bringing the case before the magistrates. MARKETS-THIS DAY. HAY MARKETS.

Pietro Ansani, modeller, was indicted for feloniously wounding Albert Wardle, with intent to do him seine grievous bodily harm. There was also another indictment charging him with wounding Timothy Murphy. The prisoner was one of the parties who had taken part in the disgraceful riots that took place a short time ago in Hyde-park between the Garibaidians and the admirers of his Holiness the Pope. The prisoner was seen in posses sion of a knife, and afterwards he became involved in a struggle for the possession of a certain piece of ground in the park. He was seen engaged with the pro secutor, who fell to the ground almost immediately from the effects of a blow dealt at him by the prisoner, who at the time had a knife in his hand. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Recorder sentenced him to four years' penal servitude. BURGLARY. A man named Wilson was indicted for burglariously breaking into a dwelling-house and stealing several articles therefrom, the offence being also accompanied with violence. The Recorder sentenced him to 15 years penal servitude. STEALING BOOKS. William Herbert, described as an agent, was indicted for stealing books. The property in question was - stolen from a coffee-hou2e, which place the prisoner had entered for the purposes of partaking of refreshment. The Jury found him guilty, and The Court sentenced her to three months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant. MAKING COUNTERFEIT COIN. William Campbell, Elizabeth Barrett, Ellen Sullivan, and Julia Regan, were indicted for having in their posses• sion certain implements for coining. From the evidence of Brennan and ether police con stables, it appeared that the prisoners had been for a long time suspected, and on proceeding to a house in Wentworth street, Whitechapel, the officers entered a room in which the whole of the prisoners were engaged in manufacturing counterfeit sixpences. A general struggle took place be tween the parties, the utmost resistance being offered. The prisoners were finally overpowered and secured, when an examination of the place was made. A number of plaisters• of Paris moulds were found which were quite hot, evidently having just been in use ; also a lot of files with white meta/ iu the teeth, and also the other necessaries for the manu facture of base coin. The jury found all the prisoners guilty. The Common Sergeant sentenced Campbell, who was not known, to eighteen months' imprisonment ; Elizabeth Bar rett, to five years, and Sullivan and Regan to four years' penal servitude. OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES. Alexander Poppey was indicted for unlawfully obtaining , by false pretences, from Hugh M.'Jabe 33 yards of silk, and , also some other articles from Mr. Henry Keyes. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The Common Sergeant sentenced him to three years' penal servitude. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHOPLIFTING IN OXFORD -STREET.—Two women,nahle d Margaret Adams and Sarah Williams, the latter with e child in her arms, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being in possession of a quantity of goods, su, posed to be stolen at tradesmen's shops in Oxford-street, and not giving a satisfactory account of the same. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough, appeared for the prisoners, both of whom are said to be known to the police as professional shopshifters. Moncroft, 165 E, said that on the previous afternoon whit ° in Oxford-street, he saw one of Messrs. Grant and Gages (the silkmercers of Oxford-street) assistant following the prisoners, who went into the bar part of the Oxford. 11 6 ' assistant said the woman was to be brought back to Messrs. Grant's. As soon as the prisoners came out of the Osfer a they separated, and went in different directions. He rpen t . after Adams and asked her if she knew the woman wit h the child (Williams), and she said she did no t. Adams h ad two parcels in her possession, one of them containing two pieces of silk handkerchief s of four in e a ch piece. ll ° took Adams back to Messrs. Grant's, and on the way, 110t withstanding she denied knowing Williams, she said the parcels belonged to her. Hiscock, 51 E, said that, in consequence of one of Messrs' Grant's assistants having pointed out Williams as havilli walked about the shop in a suspicious manner, he watche d her, and saw her go into Messrs. Grant and Gash's shop/ and then leave and join Adams at a public-house in Wells street. After coming out of the public-house , she went down to the Oxford, when, on leaving, he took William s back towards Messrs. Grant and Gash's, and on getting t° the corner of Bernors-street sho tried to escape. At the station he asked Adams whose parcels they were sho had in her possession, and she said they belonged to Williams who was a stranger to her, but Williams denied that the parcels were hers. In the parcel there were two pairs of new drawers. Sergeant Cole, C division, said all the articles had shoP tickets on them showing they had not been sold. Mr, Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, for a week. 0. It is said that after a visit of the prisoners to Messrs. Grant and Gask's on a former occasion, £4O worth of Pr o. I perty was missed.

Dinc el ‘ ; a chemist, of Chantillon (Indre), has just publish ed n u`" 0 fact in toxicology of considerable importance. some tirl' r ago, an inhabitant of that town caused a pump with a pipe to be sot up in his yard. The pipe was not tin t o ; that precaution being considered unnecessary. The W6t : 4 from this pump was freely used for household purpos es ',,y nothing seemed to warrant a suspicion of its containia 'l,- hurtful ingredient.
