LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 25, 1862. 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 'miler - mg population of Lancaslaire, 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—Nye wonder very much what he thinks of—some sueh 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 SYDNEY GODOLPHIN OSBORNE: "Figures in a subacription list," observes this uncompromising writer of bold truth, "are a very fallacious gauge of the real value, as a work of charity, of each dona tion. There are curates now pledged to from 10s. to £1 a month, for three months, from salaries and entire sources of revenue under £lOO a-year. Corn pare this with one or two thousands down, or by instalments from incomes of landed proprietors, of, perhaps, from £lOO,OOO to £160,000 a-year. In many instances these incomes in the north have grown from a very small value to their present princely rent-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 month. 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• Inter and his fellow landed - proprietors there in the North, say, in answer:to S. G. 0. (ii they venture to refer to his calculations in this par ticular at all), at the grand forthcoming assemblage convened in aid of the distress, for the 2d of Be- 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. and 6s. in th e pound. I accepted my preferment know ing_ that f ac t ; the tenantry around me took their l a!nas on rents calculated as liable to this amount o poor rate ; GOD gives to me and to them each year th at produce of the earth from which my tithe, their re 't,ltud the wages of the labourers are paid If corn and turnips ceased to grow in Dorset, the only Power we have to meet, not only the 6s. rate, 011 which we calculated, but the rate then necessary to save our Door from starving, is a call on what we have realised --our business gone from us. I do hope we should our best, but I know in such extremity others would from to our help; they w ould save our labourersdono more rom starving, even if they th o ught we could we have done. , It is a simple, hut a most forcible, than indeed, as it ap pears to us, an irresistible Way °f putting it. So conclusive is it, to our apprehension, as efforts enforce ment at once of the necessity of local°rtsat re lief in the a ffl icted districtsobso (it matters just . l u t e ly nothing whether they be a gr i cu l tural or manufacturing), and efforts in aid of those locally attempted Efforts spontaneously visible and ai nau t_ taneously energetic in all parts of the United Ki ng . dorn—in pr:rts only aff.cted by the distress preveil. ing at the opposite extremity of the island, only effected by a t distress, su to speak, by the influence " I have no desire to of a patriotic sympathy. S screen screw's," quoth S . 0., when he has thus G . w frankly, according to his h abit, said his say : adding, I have no wish to shield from just rebuke any man who deserves it." Who will not credit his section, in 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 pathy flow on, unturned in its course of love by any argument drawn from the hardness of heart of any man, be he of North or So'ith." Of North or South ! Yes, for there are unhappily as yet but too abundant specimens of each ! Against them— es classes, not invidiously naming any one of them as individuals, the finger of irony,almost of scorn, has been time and again pointed of late by other Cen sors, though by none more directly than by S. G. 0. Eventually, if yielding to no nobler motives, these virtual do-nothings will yield, we doubt not, to the mere dictates of shame. Meanw hile the ore gene rous contributors are uninfluen ced by the ill exam ple set to them by these their hard-hearted contem poraries. Let some of the latter before th m grand gathering in aid of the Relief Fund, the ting announced for the 2d proximo,let some at any rate among the great landowners yonder in Lanca shire weigh well orce of the compari son already applied to their stinted and niggard contributions —the comparison of their doings in aid of the distress by the side of the doings recorded in the name and on behalf of the benevo lence of the great mercantile classes. 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 —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 istance in the shape of a National Grant. 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. HUBAINE, are exposing the in tolerable vices of this Irish idol. It appears that in connection with his famous speech on the Roman 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 1 worst enemy. The pamphlet goes back to the 17th and 18th 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. The next portion of the pamphlet brings us to the times of the BONAPARTES 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 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 possunius 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 Eohool 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. The 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 SEXTUS 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 cardinals, 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 takes 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 what might be. Let us not dissemble the fact; the great spectacle of powerful France, free and happy, that grand spectacle which strikes the eyes 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 and 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 i n t er nal movement ; but if any impuls e 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, because all is ripe for it. More fortunate than us and instructed by our experience, the people would econo -1 mise in the crimes and misfortune of which we have been so prodigal." A series of remarkable documents fo llows, a pointing definitely enough to one conclusion. cardinal himself, BERNETTI said to the French Am bassador in December, 1832 : " My personal opinion is that secularisation is inevitable it will t a k e p l ace a little sooner or a little l ater, b u t n ever will the P OPE pronounce it, and he will be right— " let. B ecause it will not suit him to take on himself 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 s p ee d y 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 band to allow a conce ss i on to be wrested from him f fatal in its consequence tha n i n i tse lf .

I A. T t m h o e n oc a r r a c c h y y , 2 ooff republic, e l ol igarchy, n o ci f o a f r i f s o t r o e c i r g a n c y d , o n d a t e i m o n o . c r a B o y u , t o itf has none of their advantages ; and why ? Because to all those defects it adds the greatest of all in matters of Go vernment —instability. It is temporary, short, precarious, and fugitive ; the electoral oligarchy of the cardinals, urgent as the Roman history said to see an end of and to devour this reign of a moment, elected an old man, chose a de crepid hand in order to sooner have to relieve it from the weight of the sceptre. Sometimes it is deceived, and meets with a SIXTUS-QUINTUS; but in all cases the ideas of the PorE die withlim. In such a Government there is no hereditary succession, no survivance of system, no consti tution to guarantee the future; the POPE of yesterday does not engage him of to-morrow. All policy is merely personal ; everything depends on one man's life." He sums up all in the following pithy lan- 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, 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 60 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." 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 1531, 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. But 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 become 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. NAPOLEON-LOUIS BONAPARTE." Such a series of documents do one thing at least —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. E WS. BERLIN, Nov. 21. The Neue Preussiche (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. A " People speak of making up differences and con cluding peace ! Who has broken peace ? 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 tut the union of Ger many. Should evil days come I hope that all well dispos3d people will rally round me." FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 24.

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 Com mittee of Finance that the Government had been empowered by the Emperor to consent to a reduc tion of 6,000,000fi. 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 Dagenfeld told the Emperor that such favour shown to one regiment would not fail to produce a bad impression on 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 wEole empire, is in sub stance as follows: " Art. 1. The total expenditure for the administrations year 1863 is fixed at 366,479,66 1 f 1 . Art. 2. Of the foregoing sum 304,58.5,0741 will be coverer! by means of direct and indirect taxes. Arts. 3 and 4. The sums voted are to be expended in the departments and kr the purposes for which they were granted. Art. 5. The deficit for 1863, which amounts to 61,894,5671, is to be covered in the following manner :—First, by an extraordinary augmentation of the land-tax, of the house-rent-tax, of the house-tax, of the trade-tax, and of the contribute arts e commercio in the Lora bardo:V enetian kingdom; and secondly, by doubling the income-tax and raising the tax en the coupons of State bonds from sto 7 per cent. Art, 6, The Finance Depart ment is empowered to sell bonds lelonging to the English loan of 1859 of the nominal value 0t11,164,0001, and bonds belonging to the first issue of the r uottery Loan of 1861) of the nominal value of 9,106,0001 The sums of 6,990,0001 in silver, and 6,730,0001 in bank notes, which are owing on the abovementioned bonds, havizg been paid off, the sur plus is to be used for covering the deficit.

The produce of the bonds belonging to the third issue of the Lottery Loan of 1860, which the lank, in consequence of the new convention, will have to )lace 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 30,000,0001 Art. 9.

EXTENSIVE BURGLARY AT T 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 circum3tances 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 Le 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 some, 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 left behind in the safe from which the £B3O was taken. GLASGOW, Nov. 22.—Cotton.—In the beginning of the week the 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 reduced, as the production is, it appears, in excess of the demand. Iron —The pig iron-market, which w as pretty firm on Monday last at 56s 9d cash for warrants, has since become weaker, and the price has given way 9d per ton. A very extensive business was done on Thursday and Friday about latter quotations, the sales principally on Liverpool account. To-day there has been scarcely a market —a single transaction at 56s 2d, one month, only reported. At close 66s cash and 568 6d three months might have been made, sellers asking per tone more. G.M,B.

THE FEDERAL FINANCES.—The 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"—another p roo f o f the folly of prop hec y . Mr. Satterthwaite says Tho total debt of th e Federal Government is stated to h ave reac hed 660,0 00 , 000 dols., and the expenses of the aar are estimated at not over 1,000,000 dols, per . day, so th a t if the war should continue another 12 months the debt wou ld be about 1,000,000,000 dols. ; now, supposing this to be funded in. a 5 per cent. Stock, the annual interest would bo 50,000,000 dols., or say £10,000,000 sterling—a sum which need not be difficult for a powerful and wealthy nation of about twent y millions of inhabitants to raise; even supposing the burden to rest on the Northern and Western States alone,—.From the ‘ 4 Money Market PRINCESS'S 7H PA7 RE. THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE. A very agreeable version of Scribe's highly in genious comedy " Le 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 " Verre D'Eau" is a specimen of the drama of intrigue on the French stage, 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 are developed, and interwoven, scene 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 generalscope 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 Mondora and Don Miguel de Naronha, who love each other, and whose happi ness being the sincere aim of the said Senor Estevan, leads to the union of his fortunes with theirs, and the formation of 'what bestows the present title to the drama—" The Triple Alliance"—the end of this Court campaign being the triumph of the said alliance in the union of the lovers, and the eleva tion of their patron to the desired post of Prime Minister. 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 ligence and graceful bearing, combined with the advantage of her handsome person, render her now an acquisition to any theatre in London. Miss Oliver was not less attractive in the character of the Maid of Honour, in which her mingled grace and naturalness sustained the entire interest of the piece. Mr. Shore, always intelligent and earnest, was very agreeab!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 cf 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. 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 left 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 condition occasions much anxiety to her family. THE SERGEANT-SURGEONCY.—Mr. C2B3ar Henry Hawkins, F.R.S., has just been selected as sergeant-sure geon 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 he 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 Navy Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—The Court of Assizes of the Seine tri e d, th e d a y before yesterday, a young Eng lishman and his wife, named Atkinson, on a charge of passing gold coin whi c h h a d been reduced in weight by the action of acids or by scraping. According to the evidence, the female prisoner, on the 20th August last, bought two pears for 20c., of a fruiterer i n th e R ue 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 Mr. 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-ville 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 go ld alone, but would do so with the addition of a little salt. He had, however, no reason to suppose that the prisoners had had recourse to such a pro cess. He also stated that each of the sfr.. pieces had o . n . y tlosthe prisonerw ei ghtt had e t d h e e v e a l l y u ofvalue e used ch.e, oaf coin the t a .e t r m t.h a e ll p p u ro r,p b o a s b e iht o y fl gilding by electricity. After hearing the pris.oners c.ounse 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.—Galignaisi: THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. IN DUBLIN.--A Dub lint e p c a o p u e n r ty say a s, D in ub r l e i le , rence to the particulars of an ou tra g e said to hav e been recently committed on a young lady in that the case has been thoroughly investigated by the constabulary, who have come to the conclusion that no outr age was ommitted. DIONDAY 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, ulaoow• LUAII e veulUg aLlbi act' au uulau uLatilc 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 Halle presided as the pianist.. Miss Constance Roden and Mr. Santley shared the honours of the evening as the vocalists. Beethoven and Cherubini—Dussek and Paesiello—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" Cherubini. 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 Dassek. Aria, "10 son Lindoro" (Barbiere di Siviglia) Prelude, Loure, Minuets and Gavotte, in E major, for violin alone J. S. Bach. Song, " Oh I Moon of Night" Quartet, in E flat, op. 71, No. 3, for two , violins, viola, and violoncello Beethoven's superb septet—so well known, and yet never by one note palling upon us by repetition —caused Herr Joachim to have grouped aroand 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 PiatXs) 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, Eiq., 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. Tho 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. Ihe 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 were thrown out with great violence, and Miss Cornwall, a vary amiable young lady, received injuries, the ezteut of which is not yet lowa,.. -Birmingham Dst. IHE SLAVE T. Wlll7 E NILE James W. Biker, in a letter silted Kh irtoum, Sept. 20, says:—E.zypt 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 di iven 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 atrocities 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 tuc uf Savage it appeared she was an im portunate beggar of some 10 years standing. On Wednesday evening last intormatlina 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 foll Owing morning. The examination after death showed her body to be in v 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 was returned. ALLEGED MURDER. The inquest touching the death of Jane Lewis I 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.

STABBING WITH INTENT.-THE GARIBALDI MOM Pietro Ansani, modeller, was indicted for feloniously wounding Albert Wardle, with intent to do him some 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 Garibaldians and the a(bnirers of his Holiness the Pope. The prisoner was seen in posses sion of a knife, and afterwards he be%Jame 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 gailty, and the Recorder sentenced him to four years' penal sevvitude. 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-house, 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. Tho 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 metal in 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 Kayes. 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, named Margaret Adams and Sarah Williams, the latter with a child in her arms, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being in possession of a quantity of goods, supposed 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 bo known to the police as professional shopshifters. Moncroft, 165 E, said that on the previous afternoon while in Oxford-street, he saw one of Messrs. Grant and Gask's (the silkmercers of Oxford-street) assistant following the prisoners, who went into the bar part of the Oxford. The assistant said the woman was to be brought back to Messrs. Grant's. As soon as the prisoners came out of the Oxford they separated, and went in different directions. He went after Adams and asked her if she knew the woman with the child (Williams), and she said she did not. Adams had two parcels in her possession, one of them containing two pieces of silk handkerchiefs of four in each piece. ll° took Adams back to Messrs. Grant's, and on the way, not 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 having walked about the shop in a suspicious manner, he watched her, and saw her go into Messrs. Grant and Gask'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 Williams back towards Messrs. Grant and Gask's, and on getting to the corner of DcrcArc.atroct she tried to escaß. At the station he asked Adams whose parcels they were she had in her possession, and she said they belonged r. Williams 'nu "s " ''""6" "' h ut. Wi11i.... denied that the parcels were hers. In the parcel there wore 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. It is said that after a visit of the prisoners to Messrs. Grant and Gask's on a former occasion, £4O worth of pro perty was missed. SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

Lancel°t, a chemist, of Chantillon (Indre), has just published a n' rg ,,, fact in toxicology of considerable importance. Some gra", ago, an inhabitant of that town caused a pump with a copPe` pipe to be set up in his yard. The pipe was not tinned? that precaution being considered unnecessary. The 01°,1r from this pump was freely used for household purposes, a" nothing seemed to warrant a suspicion of its containing a : I , Y , hurtful ingredient. One day, however, the lady 4 4 '— house remarked to her husband that a quantity of butter which had remained several days in that water renewe d or six times, had become green outside. Upon this t 7 husband, by way of an experiment, divided a pound of b it "; ter into three parts, one of which he put into the W ater ° the pump drawn from the pipe, another into the sarao umpumpblui bluish ing re his en but taken direct from the reservoir, and the thir d into Nra on - from a o ar a ss woodened a tint after tTwheedfiayrsat, by sion, and was delivered to M. Lancelot to be analyse'. him. A solution of hydrosulphuric acid immediatelY pro duced a black spot on the outer surface, and the hY dr ; ferrocyanate of potash a crimson one, so that the pres ell ..., of copper could not be denied. But the most thecuriouscibr, cumstance is, that M. Lancelot, wishing to analY O l, jactionable water itself, tried in vain to detect copper in oil ' ed As the above-mentioned tests produced no effect, he b • down 13 litres of water to a glassful, which oast filteret.'?„. the filter appeared covered with acalcareous dei, but tin tests were again applied in vain. The residue was at lerg w s dissolved in nitric acid, then neutralised, but the resultW.ar still negative. Hence M. Lancelot concludes that butter has the property of revealing particles of copper so nai oll ,„ as to escape the action of the most delicate tests hitherw known.
