Phillimore referred to the remarks he had made on the sth instant, when he suggested certain alterations. He had to consider whether he was bound to admit the Article 5 as to the Real Presence in the Holy Eucha rist. That charge was not before the Commissioners when the inquiry was made, and was not in the letters of request sent by the bishop to this court, nor in the citation served on the defendant, who had been contumacious in not appearing to the criminal charges of alleged heresy made against him. Then as to the charge as to the reception of the Sacrament by the wicked, all that related to that subject must be struck out of the Articles. Mr. Stephens asked for an appeal, as his lordship's judg ment had materially al ered his position as to the charge of heresy. Sir R. Phillimore, after a discus sion of some length, allowed an appeal to the Judi cial Committee of the Privy Council. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. FAIDAT. A singular expedient, if we are to believe the Public, is to bo resorted to in order to get out of the difficulties attending the double parliamentary session. On the 29th of November, immediately after the Emperor's Speech and the declaration of the opening of the session, will be read a decree closing the extraordinary session of 1869. The Siecle, in alluding to this report, contemptuously observes that the question is not ono of words and phrases, it deals with realities. Commerce suffers, failures are multiplying ; the winter is at hand, and the public are thoroughly dis satisfied. A sample of this discontent has just been given in the address to lIM. Esquires and Gambetta, signed by four hundred electors, who consider the manifesto of the Left weak and insufficient. The electors hold that " the existence of universal suffrage, and the responsibility of the head of the State, override the Constitution and the Empire, and must not be infringed." They wish to see the responsibility recognised in theory by the Constitution rendered effective and permanent,' and consequently they demand that the first act of their representatives on the opening of the Chambers shall be the impeachment of the head of the State. An imperial manifesto is still looked for, though it is difficult to say what gives rive to the impression. Some curiosity has been excited by the letter which the Marquis d'Andelarre has addressed to the Journal de la Haute Saone. He expresses his disapproval of the course which the Government is pursuing, in the most emphatic manner, and declares that he is justified in putting no faith in those statesmen, who shew that they have no faith in the country, and who are preparing to vindicate before the Chamber those actions which incensed the people at the time of the last elections. The Patrie believes that the electors of the four circum scriptions of the Seine vacant by the choice of MM.Bancel, Gambetta, Picard, and Simon, will be convoked on the 21st of November to select the successors of those gentle-- men. The Government, as you will readily perceive, need not look for any accession to the ranks of its adherents in this quarter. The liberty of the press is still being discussed in our journals. The Government have shown unusual wisdom in refraining from any acts of repression, and consequently public opinion has openly ranged itself on the side of order and authority. The Patrie and the tonstitutionnel have faithfully maintained the rights and privileges of their order, and boldly assert that to sanction the liberty of the press is the best way of destroying its licence. The leading Liberal journals, the Liberti, the Temps, the Journal des DAats, the Sieele, the Journal de Paris, have all assumed the same tone, and while openly opposing the Government, have done so with becoming reticence and courtesy. The Revell, the Rappel, and the Reforme have pursued a very different course, while, strange to say, the Pays, the most courtly of journals has been one of the most conspicuous offenders in its attacks on Prince Napoleon. The Patrie, in a long article this morning, reminds these vehement scribes that in England and America, which enjoy complete liberty of the press, no personal attacks are ever made upon Queen Victoria or President Grant. Public opinion, it believes, will eventually regulate the extremes of the Parisian press, as it has done with the English and American. According to the Journal de Paris, the Emperor is delighted at the manner in which the 26th passed off, and has expressed his unqualified satisfaction. This seems to prove that there was genuine cause for alarm in the highest circles. It is also affirmed that the Emperor has declared his intention to remain in statu quo with regard to men and actions until after the 29th of November. M. Simon and M. Gambetta seem likely to meet with tie a ,sistance of Government in their inquiries at St. Aubin. They are to be favoured with the perusal of all the documents that are calculated to throw light on the subject. The Syndical Chamber of the Drapers' Assistants has sent a letter to the Liberti, in reply to the communication of the masters. It is couched in strong terms, and the Liberte very properly declines to take part with either of the disputants, but adds that this angry correspondence injures the interests of both sides. M. de Banneville, the French Ambassador at the Holy See, left yesterday for Rome. He is the bearer of special instructions in connection with the CEcumenici Council. The Memorial Diplonzatique states that these instructions are animated by the same spirit as that which actuated the circular of the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne last September, and explains that the Imperial Govern ment cannot fail to take a deep interest in the delibera tions of the Council, although it will not be represented at the assembly. Mr. William Day has purchased from Lord Stamford a two year old colt by Caractacus, and three yearlings by Citadel, in a lot, but the price did not transpire. Mr. Charles Bevill has boon elected a member of the committee of the Subscription Room, Newmarket, in the place of Mr. Padwick, who retires by rotation. THE WELTER CUP AT KELSO.-31r. Johnstone's Cawdor should not have been included among the starters for this race, as reported in our paper of Saturday last. The horse was weighed for, but did not get to the post in time. It is currently reported that Mr. Pt yor intends to sell off et his horses in training. The horses were to have gone into Wadlow's stable, but there is no room for thorn at Stanton.

Prom the evidence is ' , appeared that the prisoner was in the employ of the proieetrtor, and engaged to collect music from different music publishers, and to pay for it, and it was ascertained that he had been charging the prosecutor on several occasions more than he bad been charged by the publishers.• When taxed with the robbery he denied having stulen anything, but subsequently ad mitted that he had been carrying on the practice for some time. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. THAMES. AN ABOMINABLE DEN IN ANGEL-COURT.—Wm. Scott, a thief and bully; was brolight up on remand charged with violently assaulting Ann 'Gilligan and Thomas Appleby. This charge was originally -preferred against the prisoner a fortnight egd, and since then Mrs. Gilligan, one of the worst of chirAters, has been convicted by Mr. Paget for keeping what -the magistrate called a most abominable deo, No. 2, Angel -court, and sentenced to three months imprisbement and hard labour, and to keep the peace for three monthelonger, for harbouring thieves, and suffering them to meet or assemblein her dwelling, No. 2, Angel court, Shiarivell. Her paramour, Scott, was in custody tlio days before for assaulting her, and kicking her, 'and ulso for assaulting Appleby, a seaman; will) was inveigled into a vile place to berobbed. Donald'D/Pliay a police constable, No. 275 S, said that Scott had been repeatedly in his custody for robberies and assaults, and he was a vile character. He did not know whether Gilligan or Scott had been most frequently con victed of assaults and robberies. The magistrate said that Gilligan had been convicted under the Habitual Criminals Act, and he thought the prisoner was as bad as she was. He sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on Gilligan, and one for the assault on Appleby.

On Friday, at the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice Lush, Louis Laumade, a Frenchman, was indicted for sending letters threatening to kill Charles Osche. It se( me 1 that the prisoner alleged that the prosecutor owed him some money, and wrote from Paris in February last, stating that if tho money was not paid he would kill Mr. Osche. In September the prisoner came over to England, and went to Mr. Osche's shop in Piccadilly, but that person was not in. He waited several hours and refused to leave, and was ultimately given into custody. When searched a six-bar relled revolver with five chambers, loaded was found in his possession. For the defence it was alleged that the accused could only read and write a little, and though the signatures to the letters were his, not being able to read he was not cognisant of the main portion of the letters. It was also alleged that Osche had been declared a bankrupt in Paris, and that the prisoner had lost all his money by trusting to him. He never meant to kill the prosecutor. The learned judge laid down that it was sufficient for the case of the prosecution if it was proved that the prisoner knew what the letter contained, and that the words therein contained were sufficient to make the recipient believe that his life was in danger ; it did not signify if the prisoner meant to carry out the threats, or the reverse. The jary retired to consider their verdict, and the pri4oner was found guilty. Sentence deferred. THE STORM. The gale which blew on the north and east coasts on Tuesday and Wednesday will long be remembered as the most severe and destructive to shipping and life with which they have been visited for several years. Already tho list of shipping casualties is very heavy, but it is stated that it, represents only one-half the full extent of the disasters. All accounts testify that the wind frequently attained the full force of a hurricane, and that the showers of snow and sleet were so thick, and descended with such force, that the sailors could not face them. Several vessels are known to have capsized, and it is no exaggeration to state that hundreds were blown from their moorings. The greatest damage was done on the east coast, whence information is continually being furnished of fresh disasters. Eight fishing-smacks, with about forty men and boys, belonging to Yarmouth, are believed to have been lost in the North Sea, as nothing has been heard or scon of them. Those smacks which were enabled to make the port in safety were greatly damaged, and the information furnished by the masters gives good reason for the worst fears. On the coasts the lifeboats of the Royal National Lifeboat Insti tution were instrumental in saving a large number of lives. The following disasters are in addition to those already published. At Yarmouth several vessels which were in a sinking state were towed into the harbour, and o Arrs which had lost their anchors and chains were supplied with fresh ones. The vessel which drove on to the rocks near Scarborough has been ascertained to be the Ellen, of Middlesbrough. She is a total wreck, but the crew were fortu nately saved by the rocket apparatus. Three vessels sank at their anchors in Fishguard Roads. One was the schooner Two Sisters, of Abcrystwith, bound to Cardiff ; another, the smack David, of Cardigan, bound from Carnarvon to Mil ford. The name of the third could not be ascertained. The crews were all rescued. The smack Hecla, of Cullen, and bound from Hopeman to Fraserburgh, went ashore near the latter place and was totally wrecked. The crew were saved. The schooner Victory is stranded near Larne; she belonged to Carnarvon, and was bound to Peterhead. The Charlotte, bound from Riga to Leith, and the Appollonia, from Pitea to London, are both reported stranded, one at Oeland, and the other at Ber guara. The schooner Active has been totally wrecked at Lenwig. Sho belonged to Colchester ; and a timber laden brig, the Mary, of South Shields, has been passed dismasted and abandoned. The schooner Juno has also been passed abandoned. The Napoleon, belonging to Carnarvon, came in collision with a Sunderland barqua during the gale. The former vessel was dismasted, and received such severe damage that the crew had to abandon her. She has since been picked up and towed into Bridlington. A branch of the National Education League— the organisation which has grown out of the Birmingham movement—has been formed in Manchester ; and at a meet ing held at the Town Hall, on Thursday, General and Exe cutive Committees were appointed, for the purpose of pro moting the work of the Association. All danger of a strike in the South Staffordshire tron trade has, the Manchester Guardian hopes, passed away. The employers have agreed to give an advance of 6d. per ton on puddling, or one half the increase originally demanded by the men. In the other branches of the trade the rate of wages will remain as at present. The tenantry of the Count de Jarnac, who received a threatening letter some few days ago, have opened a sub scription among themselves for a reward fund to further the discovery of the writer, and £125 has been collected. Two more cases of threatening letter writing in Tipperary are reported in the local paper, but the names are not given of the gentlemen who received them. The New York Herald, of October 16, says:— "There remains no doubt that M. Friguet, for the firm of Rothschilds, has been conducting negotiations with the American Government for a loan by the great banking firm of all the money tho Government may need at four per cent. A private letter from 31. Friguot intimates that he has boon carrying on the negotiation with President Grant in person, and be believes that the project will be carried out." At the annual soirée on Thursday of the Garforth Working Men's Club and Institute (which the report read on the occasion showed to be in a very flourishing condi tion) Messrs. Denison and Fielden, the members for the Eastern Division of the West riding, were present, and delivered speeches. Mr. Denison pointed out the advan tages to be derived by working men from mechanics' insti tutes, and 31r. Fiolden addressed himself to the education question generally. Father Hyacinthe arrived at New York on the 18th of October. Tho Pereire, in which ho sailed, rade so rapid a voyage that those who had been on the look out for him were taken by surprise. As soon as the news of his arrival had spread through the city his hotel was besieged with visitors. Father Hyacinthe states that he has come to America to see and study the country ; he may or may not go to the (Ecumenical Council, and bas no l rogramme laid out for the future. He is quite frank about his intentions and his present situation. The pastors of the Evangelical churches of Boston aro consider ing the propriety of giving the Father a public reception. rho Bishop of Rochester held a visitation of his clergy on Friday at Stratford. In his charge ho announced that he was about to hold a series of conferences of clergy and laity in the large towns of his diocese, in order that matters of importance to the Church might be thoroughly con sidered. It was also his intention to cstablish a "Bishop of IlocLester's Fund," with a view to the aid of those parishes which had been transferred to his diocese from the see of London. Re strongly recommended the adoption of the offertory, more frequent services, and particularly more frequent celebration of the Holy Communion. Ro ex pressed his opinion that the Church was in no danger from external attacks if Churchmen remained true to their own neinoipleg.

The objection, after being investigated by the stewards at Newmarket on Wednes day, was found to be valid. Chassepot was therefore dis qualified, and the stakes awarded to Sir Walter, who came in second. RAID UPON A BETTING-HOUSE IN MANCHESTER.—The police made an attack upon a betting-house in Manchester on Tuesday. Between 300 and 400 persons were within. Finding egress stopped by the doors, they jumped through the windows. Frames and glass were smashed by the wild helter-skelter of terrified betting men. Some of them were captured, and one, on being taken to the police office, immediately deposited the penalty of .£75. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE RACES.—On Tuesday next will close and name for the above meeting the Fifth Stephen son Biennial Stakes of 10 soya each, h ft, with 100 sows nett added each year, for now yearlings. Ness castle races are now established as ono of the first meetings of the North. No less than 1,80 soya will be given in added money at the next June anniversary. The bonus of 100 SOTS to the above stake cannot but prove attractive to owners and trainers. _ TILE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S AFFAIRS.—The judgment of Mr. Commissioner Winslow, in the Court of Bank ruptcy, respecting the petition sued for against the Duke of Newcastle, was delivered on Thursday. The Commis sioner, after adducing certain authorities, declared that the Duke was, by the " privilege of Parliament," exempted from the operation of the Bankruptcy Act, and that the petition must be dismissed accordingly. Mr. Robt. Morris, the petitioning creditor, was condemned in costs. HUNTER MANTLE.—This individual, who has tried nearly every game—from clown in a circus to a "reformer" of the Finlen school—is now, we are informed, a candidate for one of the wards of the Birmingham Town Council! It will be remembered how about two years ago Mr. Mantle, finding spouting politics an indifferently paying game, took to bookmaking, with that happy facility natural to genius, and shortly afterwards took to his heels with equal readi ness. If the above report be true, it must be fairly ac knowlgeded that no ;position comes amiss to this really great man, and it remains to be seen how much further the force of impudence can really go. _ . . The two-year-old filly by Macaroni out of Sister to Strafford has received the name of Semolina. Mr. Mortimer's two-year-old colt by Lacydes, dam by Cowl out of Venus, has been named Mask. Mr. Brorusgrove claimed Arcanum after the latter had won a Selling Sweepstakes at Newmarket on Thursday. Prince Soltykoff claimed Prince Arthur, after the latter won the Optional Selling Race at Newmarket on Friday. The objection to Arigill for the Abbey Hurdle Race Plato at Leicester, on the ground of insufficient descrip tion, has- been overruled. 3t-'OATIN'.i INTELLIGENCE —Tais Day NEWMARKET TIOUGEITON MEETING.
