M ALToN. —I would advise your subscribers to keep Ta rabau on the right side in all his races at Manchester, as ho has been undergoing a strong preparation. CR11.3 ON.—Whit Monday Handicap.—Venetia's previ ous running will be the best guide. Wistaria, Onyx, and Little Doctor were put through the mill, and finished in the order named. I b.dieve one or two of these will go for unclosed stakes. Osprey and Virginia Creeper are engaged at the Bath and Somerset meeting. The latter won't run, and Osprey is doing very little. Two more horses arrived here on Monday—a two and a three year old—but I don't know what they are. ILSLEY.—At West Drayton, Hereford and Hammerton are in the Iver Plate. The first-named will be the best. Of Lady Clinton, Luna, and Actress, in the Flying Stakes, whichever Mr. Heene runs will take some doing. Python, Vampire, Il ammerton, and Triana are engaged in the Whit Monday Handicap, and I like Python's chance the best. if ho goes for it ; and Alaster will be our best for the:Welter Cup. At Bath, Noyre Tauren is in the Seven teenth Biennial Stakes, but I have no liking for the half brother to Lord Lyon. Ligurian, in the Beaufort Cup, is well, but the company will be too good for him. Holy rood, in the Eighteenth Biennial, is a nice little horse, but I don't think him good enough to win. Ligurian and Belfast aro in the Somerset shire Stakes. Liguurian looks and goes well, and will take his part if he runs. On Tues day, Target led Cap-a-Pie, Ladas, and Liguariaa a couple of nice mile-canters. t.—From wh at I have seen of him, Glaieul will renderEPb° l' a rare account of himself in the French Derby.

V~v SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.— On Wednesday evening a very attractive performance took place for the benefit of Miss Bessie Harrison. The en tertainments were a farce "Up Stairs and D own Stairs," comedy of "London Assurance," and the burlesque of the "Maid and the Magpie." The great attraction of the evening was, of course, the performance of Miss Harrison, and she may be very highly praised for the lively and vivacious embodiment of the celebrated part o f Lad y Gay SpAnker in the comedy. It was very nicely done in all respects, and showed that Miss Harrison possesses talent of no or dinary description. THE SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1869.

CERO3I GCB 07N CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, May 14. On Monday evening ne - xt the last day for the holding of public meetings expires. For five days before the elec tions, which come off on the 23rd and 24th, public meetings are forbidden by law ; the five days are always claimed by the Government, which industriously works during this period without fear of effective counteracting propaganda from the Opposition. It was, perhaps, natural that the Democrats of Paris should desire to employ the remaining days to the best advantage. And if riot and uproar be making the most of political opportunities, they have undoubtedly done so. Hitherto the numerous electoral meetings of Paris have been held with tolerable outward decorum. There has been plenty of noise, but little that came under the denomination of rioting. No speaker at a public meeting is allowed to discuss the Constitution, or make any disrespectful ailu- blOll to the Emperor. A commissary of police is always present to see that these reg , dations are carried out. UP to Wednesday the Democrats of Paris contented them selves with dr:ving the commissary to desperation by every species if indirect allusion and inuendo which the ingenuity of Frenchmen could devise. Sometimes their in genuity was carried so far that the meeting was dissolved. But in these latter days of the public meetings, the Parisians have grown tired of baiting the commissary. They have apparently wished to wind up the electoral campaign with some more striking demonstration, and they have had their wish. On Wednesday evening a great meeting was held at the Chatelet Theatre. M. Emile 011ivier was announced to speak. It is hardly necessary for me to again recount the position which this young deputy holds in the political world. On account of his negotiations with the Emperor, with the view of reforming the Constitution in a liberal sense, he lost his popularity with the Republicans, amongst whom he ranked himself. The reforms which he projected were all frustrated by M. Ronher, whilst poor M. 011ivier lost the favour of his party. He is now vehemently—nay savagely—opposed, and his chance of re-election for the city of Paris is, to speak mildly, none of the best. No wonder, then, that the Chfitelet Theatre was crowded. The hour fixed was half-past eight, but persons began to assemble as early as half•past four, and at seven all the ap proaches to the building were blocked up by a crowd anxious to obtain admittance. When the doors were ' thrown open the struggle wad indescribable. So great was the confusion within the building that it was fully ten o'clock before M. 011ivier could obtain a hearing. He I rose at nine, and combatted the din of the roaring multitude for a full hour. At last one of the audience in the front gallery got up and asked them to hear the deputy, remarking that they could learn nothing if they did not ' hear his explanations. Then M. 011ivier again got up, but the interruptions were still numerous ; as always happens in these cases, if one of the audience made a remark there was a row of some seconds involved in the attempt to silence him. Thus M. 011ivier's s p eech was cmtailed ' to one-half the length which lie had deemed needful for for an explanation. He divided it into two parts. In the first he defended his political conduct, enumerating his constant efforts in the cause of liberty. This part of his speech was rather favourably received. He urged his pleas that liberty could not be achieved by revolution ; that as they had got the Empire, they ought to make the moat of it ; and that constitutional means were the best and speediest mode of obtaining reform. In the second part of his address he endeavoured to demon strate from history that revolutionary measures had never rroducea results favourable to liberty, citing, by way of example, Italy, which had struggled in vain for so many years under the sterile agitations of Mazzini and Garibaldi, but at last found repose in the sound constitutional policy of Count Cavour ; Hungary, ' also, he said, had been powerless under Kossuth, but now took reek amongst iudependent nations under the direction of M. Deal: ; lastly, Prussia herself, pr e weak, was now most powtrful under the rule of Count Bismarck. TI ess utpalatable remarks were received with great di:!approbation, and ' constant cries of "A la question l" But M. 011ivier displayed, at least, the quality of courage. Ile was not Ito be put down. Ile a ffirmed that the present Govern ' went did not owe its origin to the amp d'etati but to the subsequent votes of the plebiscite, and was thus conic crated by universal suffrage. Moreover, the revolution of 1848 was the direct forerunner of personal government under the Empire. Both thee° assertions were received with a tempest of dissent. The crowd literally howled with fury on being told that it was the author of its own slavery. Lastly, M. 011ivier vehemently denounced the practice of taking the oath of fidelity to the Emperor with the delibe rate intention of overthrowing the Government at the first possible opportunity. I may remark that every candi date returned to the Corp; Legislatif must swear allegiance to the Emperor. The Republican deputies all take this • oath, but they do not conceal their intention of breaking it. The speaker said that he had taken the oath, be I a I taken it innestly— and he meant to keep it. To take an oath wi h the deliberate intention of breaking it lie hell to be infalmus and dishonourable. This put an end to the meeting. The uproar was so great that the com missary, who had allowed the proceedings to go on until half-past eleven, declared the meeting dissolved. The crowd separated in indescribable confusion, a portion hissing 011ivier, and shouting for Bancel, the opponent of the former ; the rest carrying off the orator in triumph. The mingling of the audience with the great crowd which had been unable to obtain admission was the signal for uproarious proceedings outside. The crowd, which numbered 20,000, had kept tolerably quiet at fist, but the emptying of the theatre speedily produced a riot. The cries of " Vive Bancel !" were followed by singing t f the obnoxious " Marseillaise;"rae revolutiona• y hymn was given amid loud acclaim, and a repetition was de manded. Well it might be, for the " Alarseillaise " sung by at least 10,000 voices is one of the most inspiriting national chants ever composed. The serdents-dc.ville had, how ever, come up in great force by this time, and about five hundred of them, with some mounted municipal guards, charged the mob, without drawing their swords, and attempted to disperse it. The police behaved with great moderation, but several blows were struck, and some wounds were inflicted. One young man in perticular was struck in the forehead, and bled profusely. Several groups which had formed themselves near the theatre, after having been partially dispersed by the police, proceeded towards the Faubourg St. Antoine, and went bareheaded round the Column of July singing the " Marseillaise ;" others uttered seditious cries, and threw stones at the windows. The tumult was at length quelled by the arrival of a strong party of sergents dc-ville, who succeeded in arresting several of the most riotous. There was likewise a row in one of the beer-drinking saloons indeed, all the cafés in the neighbourhood, which were densely crowded, suf fered damage—but this was quieted by the police. The number of arrest; was 20. Yesterday there was another outbreak. A meeting was held at the Cirque Napoleon by the electors of the fifth circumscription, and was dissolved by the commissary. An enormous crowd then gathered on the Boulevard Beaumarchais round the theatre. All the neighbouring streets and lanes were crowded. The " Marseillaise" was again sung, the entire crowd joining in with great vehemence, The police arrived to the number of six hundred, and attempted to disperse the multitude. But the 600 trergents-de-ville were swallowed up in the crowd of from 15,000 to 20,000. The municipal guards then came up, and charged the crowd, which took refuge in the small lanes. The divisional inspector of the municipal police, M. Brun, was struck on the temple by a heavy stick, and carried away covered with blood. Another officer was wounded. Of the crowd many were injured but none gravely. Twenty-five arrests were made. There was yet another disturbance in the seventh cir cumscription on Wednesday. M. Rochefort held a meeting, and the people who could not get in sang the " Marseillaise," and destroyed some property. The Liberal j journals exhort the electors to peaceful measures. Mr. Reverdy Johnson took his leave of the Queen, by letter, on Wednesday. A sad accident occurred in the Firth of Forth, near Inchkeitb, on Wednesday. A fishing boat, belonging to Newhaven, manned by four men, named John Cairney, Georgo Plucker, Philip Plucker, and James Plucker, «hile returning from the fishing, was caught either in a squall or a whirlwind, and sank. The four men struggled gallantly fot life fur some time, but before assistance could be obtained two of them, Philip and James Plucker, perished. A WONDERFUL CLOCK. — If the spirit of good King Alfred, who invented the mode of measuring time by burning candles of different lengths, could be permitted under the auspices of Mr. Home to view the wonders of midern civilisation, we doubt if anything would interest the ingenious monarch more than a clock which has just been completed for the cathedral of Beauvais, and which far surpasses all the existing specimens of the clockinaker's art. This wonderful piece of mechanism contains no less than 90,000 wheels, and indicates, among many other things too numerous to recite, the days of the week, the month, the year, the signs of the zodiac, the equation of time, the course of the planets, the phases of the moon, the time at every capital in the world, the movable feasts for 100 years, the saints' days, &c. Perhaps the most curious part of the mechanism is that which gives the additional day in Leap year, and which consequently is called into action only once in four years. The clock is wound up every eight days. The main dial i 3 twelve Let in diameter, and the total cost 2:c4OP SHARE LIST. ORDINAItY oft 11 AND STOCKS. Closing easiness Paid. ?rise. done.

VICER,./..:1' OE EGYPT. A correspondent of the L.,:vant _Herala, writing from Cairo on the 26th ult., says :—" The affair of the Ma nasso ' attempt' to blow up the Viceroy has occupied the local authorities and their auxiliary consular commission since my last, and has eTen yet only reached the staze of a true bar being found against the luckless impresario and another rayah, as guilty of mur derous intent in the first degree, and against two Italians as their accomplices to a minor extent. The two former have been what in Europe would be called committed for trial, and the latter are held in custody by the Italian consul to be dealt with ES he may be advised from Florence. Though all the world now knows that the whole thing was merely a clumsy plot to frighten the Viceroy and get money out of his gratitude for discovery cf the plot'—which was to have been fathered on llustapha Fazyl or Llalim—it is believed it will go herd with Mannsse and his fel7ow rayah, if only poor decoarager les aufres. They will prohably he sentenced to transport: , ticn to the White Nile ; but as a fatality at tends the voyage to that Egyptian Cayenne—at least no prisoner ever despatched thither has been known to reach it—you are not likely to see the old familiar face again in Pont." THE VICAR OF DONCASTER ON DISESTABLISHMENT. The Rev. Dr. Vaughan, in a sermon preached in aid of the Doncaster Infirmary, spoke in the following terms on the transitional state of the Church :—" We are passing more and more—for better or worse—out of a parochial into a congregational life. We are becoming less of State Church and more of a Free Church —if expressions once used as party watchwords may be employed, for explanation's sake, in a simple and unpo lemical manner, in the sanctuary of God's house. It is not for me either to rejoice or lament over a transition as momentous as it is inevi table, and I take things as they are, and I would urge you to turn to good account the circumstances in which God's Providence his placetl us. Now the - lesson which I learn from this change is simple and practical. It is that the Church of each place—that the congre gation worshipping in each church—must bestir itself to a livelier and snore earnest interest in the management of its own concerns. I have no faith in the multiplication of Church machinery on a large scale—whether it take the form of convocations, conferences, or congresses. These things seem to me to have a tendency to distract the minds of the Church's pastors from their real work and from their alone available influence. What I desire is that the pastor of each Church, acting with his own church-officers and church worshippers should endeavour soberly and earnestly to arouse, in his own little sphere of action, the zeal and interest of his people in the particular work of the Church, its services, its charities, and its missions, so far as that work depends—and it does mainly, soon, perhaps, it will entirely, depend—upon voluntary effort. The Church of England is becoming less and less national —less and less territorial—in that sense, I trust, in no other) less and less national—more and more inde pendent— more and more congregational. If there is something in this to be deplored, there is at least some thing to be rejoiced in. The heart of the people must be appealed to for the maintenance of the people's worship." THREE YORKSHIRE MEMBERS OX THE PERMISSIVE BILL. Mr. Edward Akroyd, in reply to a note urging ntm to support the Permissive Bill, wrote :—" I beg respectfully to acknowledge yours of the Bth, informing me that a petition in favour of Sir Wilfrid Lawson's Permis sive Prohibitory Liquor Bill, signed by upwards of 9,000 inhabitants, has been sent to Mr. Stansfeld for presenta tion. I have further to thank you for the very considerate and courteous manner in which you press upon me to sup port the measure. Am I unreasonable in asking—whilst thoroughly agreeing with yon in your object of putting down the abuses of the present licensing system—that I should be permitted to exercise my own judgment in accomplishing our common object? Honestly I believe that the Beerbouses, &c., Bill still do this more effectually than the Permissive Bill. For were this last measure passed, it would only be applicable to those places where the majority of the ratepayers are in favour of the sup pression of beerhouses and public-houses, leaving untouched those places where the majority are on the other side. More over, if the bill were passed and put into force, there would be danger of a strong reaction, which might cause the re opening of houses once closed. Again, I think, it would be unjust to confiscate the property of those who bad embarked their capital Gn the faith of an Act of Parliament in these houses. I have deemed it more respectful to yourself to state thus broadly my objection without any desire to enter into a controversy on this question. I view with regret the differences among those u-ho wish to improve the moral well-being of society as to the means of arriving at the accomplishment of their purpose." Mr. *Stansfeld gave the following reply to a similar communication :—" I have presented the Halifax petition signed by upwards of 9,003 persons, inhabitants of Halifax, in favour of Sir W. Lawson's bill. I need not repeat my opinions on the subject. I am in favour of the object which I believe the petitioners to have in view, and what ever I can du I will do to promote and urge prompt and comprehensive and more stringent legislation on the subject, but I do not approve of the bill as now conceived and drawn." Sir Francis Crossley wrote much after the same manner. The Leeds Mercury has renton to know that there is no truth in the rumour of the Owl that Mr. Stansfeld will succeed Mr. G. A. Ilamilton as peimaneLt Secretary to the Treasury. Viscount Stratford de Radcliffe gave notice on Thursday night of his intention on June 4 to move for copy of any treaty concluded between her Majesty's Chfef Secro • tary of State for Foreign Affairs and the Minister of the United States Government of North America, respecting the so-called Alabama claims, be laid upon the table of the house. Ina pamphlet on " Our Duty in the Present Crisis," just published in Dublin, and addressed by the Rev. Fletcher Bickerdike, incumbent of Ardamine, to his bieihien, the following advice is given :—" Lot us not Iran en the Conservative party, with Mr. Di.raeli as their leader, lest our staff break under us and pierce our own arm. This has happened to us more than once already." The Tablet learns from Rome that the heavier work of the preparations for the General Council has been now got through, and that the foreign theologians who have been engaged upon it during the last six months aro leav ing Rome. Mgr. Weathers, the theologian for England, is on his way home to take up his position in London as Pre sident of the Diocesan Theological Seminary which his Grace the Archbishop of Westminster is about to open at Westminster. The Weekly Register says—A very urgent " whip" has gone forth from both sides of tho House of Lords, so as to summon to town every peer that can be found for the coming debates and votes on the Irish Church Bill. Very soon after the short 'Whitsuntide vaca tion is over, the battle will commence in the Peers, and the present universal speculation as to " what will they do with the bill" will be set nt rest. If, as some persons predict, the measure is rejected by the Lords, we shall in all probability have a more stirring political time than has been witnessed in England since the days of Win. IV. and the passing of the great Reform Bill. A return has just been printed of tho number of companies wound up or winding up since August, 1862. From this it appears that iu Great Britain and Ire- laud there have been 480 companies thus disposed of, with an aggregate nominal capital of £138,654,272 ; the paid up capi tal (as far as known) amounts to £24,348,027 ; liabilities, £74,482,421; and the expenses of winding up, £630,283. Of the total number of companies, 423 belong to England, 42 to Scotland, and 15 to Ireland. No return has been furnished of the expenses incidental to winding up in Scot land. There was a somewhat serious riot in Paris on Wednesday evening. M. Emile 011ivior addressed a m owded moeting at the Theatre Chatelet. The author of "Le 19 Jan vier" was badly received, and could not obtain a hearing for some time. A t length, whilst seyirg that the Empire was founded on Universal - Suffrage, the uproar became so great that the commissary of police dissclvod tho meeting. Out side the theatre there was a great crowd, which kept order for romo time, Lut after a - while the " Mar seilla:se" was sung, and the disturbances commenced. Tho police then interfered and fighting ensued, resulting in serious damage. It is feared tLat some lives are lost. St vci al were wounded. Sir P. Phillimore heard an application on Friday at the Court of A ditiii ally I.y the American Government in the cafe of the afleged Confederate ship the Mary, other wise the Alexandra. hr. li. C. Chu kson, on the part of the United States Government, applied for a commission to examine witnesses at Nassau or New Provideuea to show that the vessel which bad been seized by the Ameri can Government had belonged to the Confederates. Mr. Butt, Q.C., and Mr. Benjamin strenuously opposed the ap plication. The learned counsel sail the court could not fail to see the political purpose intended by the delay. Sir R. Phillimore said it involved an important qucstiu'a. The case had been pending since March, 1367.
