Account, Nov. 4 931 PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. TUESDAY. The journal Officiel has at last broken silence, and it has done so most emphatically. The rumours of Ministerial modifications have never had any foundation. The Minis ters have had no other subject for discussion at Compiegne than the measures to be submitted to the Corps Legislatif, MM. Rouher and Schneider were only summoned to the Imperial presence by the necessity of their participation in the discussions regulating the relations between the Governn2ent and the great bodies of the State. After this intimation the Journal Offieiel kindly goes on to inform us of the result of these weighty deliberations. They resolve themselves into thrce drafts of measures, which need not, one would imagine, have required a " Ministerial retreat "at Compigne. One concerns the elections of the officers of the Conseils -Gen4raux and the muncipal councils of Paris and Lyons, the others are a senatus-consultum relative to the election of colonial councils and a measure defining the functions compatible with the office of deputy. If we are to keep the Forcade Cabinet, we are, it would seem, to keep along with it the obnoxious Article 75, the present uncertainty as to the limits of electoral circum scriptions, and Paris must consent to dispense with its municipal franchise. The Liberte announces that the Journal Officiel of next Sunday will contain an important letter from the Emperor on the political situation. The Libertd affirms that it has good authority for stating that the Imperial manifesto will be extremely liberal. Another official announcement is made this morning. Marshal Bazaine is appointed Commander-in -Chief of the Imperial Guard—a fact which is not without its signifi cance in these October days. With regard to the threatened demonstration of the 26th it has been remarked that M. Raspail has not signed the manifesto of the Left, to which his confreres MM. Gambetta and Eancel have attached their names. The reason of this omission is to be found, I understand, in the determination of the veteran Republican to present him self at the Chambers on the 26th, if he does so in solitary state. It is affirmed that he expressed his intentions at a private meeting held at La Villette, last Sunday, notwithstanding the letter addressed to him by his constituents, and that the six hundred per sons present declared they would accompany him. This resolution, as you will readily perceive, is much to be regretted in the present state of affairs. Let us hope that M. Raspail will abandon it during the intervening week. M. Thiers is the only Parisian deputy who has not signed the manifesto. He is absent from Paris, but probably would not have signed it in any case. The Liberal press generally applauds the manifesto as most opportune and well considered. I hear that in case M. Raspail pro vokes any demonstration, the Emperor is resolved to repress it with a strong hand. The drapers' strike is still continued, and yesterday morning a last ultimatum was sent to the masters of the various establishments. The latter replied that they could not decide until they agreed among themselves. Six esta blishments are said to be willing to accept the terms im posed by the association which carries on the strike, but for the most part the employers are firm in their resist ance. The Louvre was deserted by 300 assistants, and their places have been supplied by 150 young women and more than a hundred new hands. In some places, how ever, the heads of the establishments Iliad to conduct the business themselves, and one house engaged a hundred orphans from an institution, who waited on their ens. tomers in their ordinary costume of grey wool. Four thousand employds have been taken from the provinces, and it is fortunate for the masters that the business is quickly learnt and needs no training or apprenticeship. It is cal eulated that not less than nine thousand assistants have gone on strike. An association of masters has been formed, and the leading houses of Paris have resolved to assist those establishments which are likely to fail in conse quence of the strike of their employds, but up to this moment the deserted houses have not sustained any losses through the defection. The shops are besieged with customers, who do not seem to experience any inconvenience in the new order of things. I hear that the proposition to engage women as assistants does not find much favour with the masters. MARRIAGE IN Man LlFE.—This morning the marriage of Sir &gineld Knightley with the Hon. Miss Miss Bowater, daughter of Lady Bowater, was solemnized at St. Peter's Church, Pimlico. A terrific explosion of gunpowder took place yesterday at the works of Messrs. Dixon, Black Beck, about four miles from Windermere. Three of the work men were blown to moms. The cause of the accident is unknown. [ADTERTI3EMENT.II-- Holloway's Pills.— The Best Friends —When bad health overtakes mankind, what would not be given to be freed from it? Holloway presents to all invalids the means of recovering their health, and re newing failing strength for a mere trifle. His Pills in variably produce the most satisfactory results where the digestion, circulation, nervous powers, or other vital actions are at fault. The Pills purify the blood, balance its circulation, regulate the liver, stimulate the kidneys, and strengthen the stomach and intestines, on which they gently but effectually operate as aperients. Illnesses of the most alarming character which have withstood all other treatment, have gradually yielded to a course of Hollo way's Pills, which will ever prove the invalid's safest friend.

In addressing the conference of clergy and laity held yesterday at Bristol, the Lord Bishop of Gloucester addressed himself to the question, What is it that the Church of England must do if she would retain het honourable position as the National Church? What is now her especial duty ? Is not the answer almost spon taneously rising to the lips of many of those who now hear me : the Church must continue, even more earnestly than before, to educate her children, and to evangelise her masses? These things done, and heartily done, she will be; to a wider extent than before, the Mother Church of all ; these things left undone, or slothf ally done, and she will slowly but surely dwindle into the Church of a denomination ; and the immediate future beyond that is easy enough to be foreseen. Such briefly is the work we have now before us—education and evangelisation. First, as to continued and increased activity in education. I say, " continued activity," for our Church has been pre-emi nently forward and active in this great and holy cause. We can point to the million and a half of scholars that the Church is now educating in her week-day schools, and to the million and a quarter that are gathered in her Sunday schools. We can thankfully specify the almost marvellous progress of her night schools, from the two-and-twenty thousand scholars of twenty years ago, to the hundred-and-forty-and-eight thousand of the present time. Yes, we can further test our progress with full and duo reference to our ever increasing population. If we look back a little more than a generation we can see how at that time our Church could claim but one scholar out of every thirty-six of the whole population, and how now she can claim nearly three times as many. Such things may well give us heart. But much more yet remains to be done. There must not only be continued activity, but increased activity if we would keep pace with these swift-moving times. And we have a great opportunity; the general feeling is with us on account of past services ; and is also, for the present, at least, by no means favourable to any purely secular sys tem. The time present then is the time for action. We must put aside bickerings about conscience clauses and contro versies on revised codes, we must utilise all available insti tutions, and then and therein teach, as the Church of Eng land has ever taught, frankly and freely, with broad, clear, and faithful assertion of her own apostolic principles. Education is the question of the hour ; let the clergy and laity of our Church be forward in dealing with it, and make it their care to give the restless movements of the time their right and reasonable direction. If the time, now our own, is allowed to pass, our present denomina tional system will find itself very soon in difficult and hardly hopeful competition, with a system probably compulsory and certainly unsectarian. But, my friends, if education is much, evangelisation of our masses is most. There, indeed, is our greatest work; there laity, as well as clergy, must be earnest and forward, if we would all do our duty as Churchmen and Englishmen. Yes, my brethren of the laity, there is much you can do to aid us. You have not yet done much. How few unpaid scripture readers there are, for instance? How few lay readers in a diocese where scattered hamlets are so numerous, and clerical endowments so frequently in no sort of fair pro portion to the spiritual needs of the population. Is this due to apathy on the part of the laity, or to a mistaken professional sensitiveness on the part of the clergy— or, worse still, to a sort of sectarian opposition that paralyses everything? Let us leave the answer unsaid, and the question undecided; let bygones be bygones; lot us, at any rate, with God's grace, make the future our own, and bring the name of Christ more freely to the ears and then to the hearts of those that have heard it not. The faithful layman has his work as well as the faithful minis ter, and let him do it. What matter what official name he bear—let him do it co-operating with and subordinate to his clergyman with an earnest and devoted heart, and God will give the increase. But there must be no delay. We have received, and are daily receiving, something more than mere hints that if the gospel is not preached much more heartily, much more widely, and with much more blessed reality than before, the Church of the present, ray, the very society of the present, must be prepared for startling and even revolutionary change. Let us, then, co-operate heartily and earnestly, put our petty differences out of sight, and look more and more to the points where we agree. ASSURANCE COMPANIES IN CHANCERY.

An application was made on Tuesday to Mr. Lemon, Chief Clerk in Vice-Chancellor James's Chambers, on the part of the liquidator, for leave to cancel an agreement be tween the Progress and United Ports Assurance Companies. A. summons had been previously taken out to compel the solicitor to the United Ports Company to deliver up certain deeds of property which had been advertised to be sold, and in which the Progress had an interest. This the solicitor declined to do in the face of the agrecmcnt in question, but as he had since consented the present application was made. Order granted. FAMILY ENDOWMENT SOCIETY. An application was made by Messrs. Clayton for an order of the Chief Clerk to serve certain notices in the affairs of this company. The Family Endowment Society some time since amalgamated with the Albert, and since then the registered offices had been destroyed by the Chatham and Dover Railway. Notice of intention to wind up this company had been advertised, and the object of the present application was to enable the applicants to serve notices upon two of the original directors and two of the directors of the company at the time of the amalgamation of such intention to wind up. The application was granted. THE PANTIN MASSACRE. The following is the text of a letter received four days ago by Edmond Troppman, engineer in the Imperial navy at Cherbourg, from his brother, now in the prison of Mazas: —"My dear Brother,—Do not reject these few lines, as I have not the courage to write to our poor parents. Endeavour to console them as well as is in your power. Tell them that they ought not to consider me so culpable as th 2 journals as sert. You can assure them that I am not a murderer, as they, perhaps, believe me at this moment, although I am accused as such. I wish that you were not a soldier, so that you might at least aid in solacing the distress with which our family is overwhelmed, or that you could invent some thing which would produce a little money to enable them to go to America; for in France they will never again be at rest. In the United States at least they would not be the mark of scorn. Do what you can to comfort them ; for myself, I can do nothing but weep for them. If anything happens in our family, you will be kind enough to write to me. Ido not ask for news, for I know well in what position they are. If lam downhearted it is only on their account ; misfortune has fallen upon me, and I submit. Embrace my parents for me, although they per haps believe me unworthy of that favour.—Your unhappy brother, J. B. TROPPMANN." This letter was forwarded to his sister Francoise with the addition of the following few lines from Edmond, who has always borne an excellent character in his service : —" I at once replied,adjuring him to denounce his accom plices. I will send you his answer when I receive it. Tell our parents that I still remain their devoted son,—E. TROPP3LkNN. P.S.—Endeavour principally to console our poor mother." Tho bulustriel Alsacien publishes the following state ment :—" The elder Troppmann has remitted to the police another letter ho has received from Paris, threatening him and all his family with death if his son makes any disclosures." At Axminster a lad, taking aim in sport at his sister and infant brother with a gun which was loaded, though ho did not know it, killed the child and wounded the girl in tho faco. The Pall Mall Gazette publishes the following let ter from the Rev. Fhilip Freeman :—" I see it reported that Archdeacon Denison stated at Leeds that I had written him word that the Dean and Chapter of Exeter were speaking out as one man against tho appointment of Dr. Temple. The Archdeacon must have misunderstood me or been mis reported, as I could only speak of myself and some others of the Chapter, not of the whole body." An explosion took place at the blast furnace be longing to the Messrs. Darby, of the Brymbo Iron Works, near Wrexham, on Friday afternoon, and terminated fatally in three cases. A boy, William Jones, was killed on the spot, and on Saturday night a man died from the injuries ho received, and another man died yesterday morning. Both the men were married. Two others are in a very precari ous state. Another outrage by I o..chers occurred at Leicester on Sunday morning. About ball• past seven o'clock a police man named Kendall met five men, whom ho knew to bo poachers, each carrying full bags and nets, and armed with, bludgeons and flails. On his speaking to them the men he knowledged that they had got a few rabbits, and two of them at once commenced a savage attack on the officer, while the rest ran away with the rabbits up a neighbouring public house yard. The policeman's staff was taken from him, and ho was beaten on the head with it, knocked down, kicked most severely, and left on the ground insensible. Warrants have been issued against the poachers, who are knot'' , tn t,) , 4 police.

One of the worst gales experienced for years is now raging on this coast (says Mr. W. Robinson), and five vessels have gone ashore, one of which is completely swept down to her hull. The crew of twenty-six men of the steam whaler Diana, of Hull, bound from Davis Straits, have been saved by the Donna Nook lifeboat North Briton, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution. In fact, lam happy to report that all hands have been rescued from the stranded ships, but we fear that some other vessels have sunk. The whaler will go to pieces when the tide turns. There are other vessels which are not likely to brave the storm, but the lifeboat is ready to assist them if necessary. ILFRACOMBE, NORTH DEVON (Tuesday). We have had a very exciting scene here this afternoon (states N. Vye, Esq., J.P.) About three o'clock, while a gale from the north was blowing into the harbour, and a heavy sea was running, a sloop with her sails blown away was seen in a very perilous position about a mile and a half to the north-west of Capstone Hill. The lifeboat, Broadwater, of the National Institution, was at once launched, and went to the assistance of the vessel, which proved to be the Ann Eliza beth of Barnstaple, laden with coals. Two of the lifeboat men were placed on board the sloop, and she was safely brought into harbour. On entering she very nearly foundered, having a quantity of water on board. The lifeboat behaved very well, and the spectators were all greatly pleased with her performances. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) BROADSTAIRS, Wednesday Morning. Captain Elyard reports that the Samuel Morrison Collins lifeboat, of the Lifeboat Society, was hap pily the means of saving the master and twelve of the crew on the occasion of the wreck of the Frank Shaw, of North Shields, on the Goodwin Sands last night. POLICE IN TELL ICi EN CE.—Mis Day. MARLBOItOUGLI-STREET. ROBBERY AND RECElVlNG.—Catherine Burke, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a quantity of property belonging to her employer, Mr. Young of the Burlington Arcade ; and Win. Edger and Eliza Morgan were charged with receiving some of the property with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Rolland appeared for Edger. From the evidence it appeared that after Burke had been in the service of Mr. Young five days, a quantity of property was missed, and on Sergeant Gould and Walker, two divisional detectives, being communicated with, they took Burke into custody, and finding that the other pri soner had received some of the property, which con sisted of a gold watch, earrings, and fancy articles, alto gether of the value of £l5, they also apprehended them. Mr. Rolland aldressod the magistrate on behalf of Edger, and said that he was a young man of good cha racter, and had been in respectable employ for some time past, that he had been keeping company with Burke, and that all he had done was to receive some articles from Burke, she having asked him to mind them for her. Walker said that he had seen Edger out at all hours of the night, and in bad company. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should commit all tho prisoners for trial, but would take two bail in £2O each for Edger. At tho request of the police, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should requiro notice of bail. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY CIIARGE.—EIIen Acton, well dressed, described as an actress, was charged on remand with being drunk and riotous. The prisoner was now represoited by Mr. Baxter, soli citor. On the last occasion the evidence of a constqble named Russell, 383 B, went to show that the prisoner was very drunk and riotous at half-past one in the morning in Wil ton-crescent, underneath the window of Lord Clarendon's mansion ; and the reserve man at the station proved the drunkenness. The defenco was that prisoner was not drunk, but was insulted by the constables, who ordered her to move on while she was waiting for a cab with a gentleman named Gurney, telling her he know all the prostitutes in Knights bridge, and Mr. Gurney took his number. Sergeant Sutherland, 81 B, proved that the prisoner was very drunk and noisy, and fell on her face in the mud, and had her dress disordered about the neck. Ho had to send to the station for a stretcher. He tried all he know to get her home, but failed. Inspector Varnals, who was at the station, said she could hardly stand, and had to support herself by holding on to the dock. She made complaint about constable Russell. Dudfield, a ticket collector at Victoria station, proved she was sober at a quarter to twelve, and missed the train for Norwood, and Mrs. Sarah Young and William Jones proved she was a respectable woman, very steady, but exciteablo, and not given to drink. Mr. Arnold ordered her to be discharged, being of opinion that the remark of the constable had excited her. THAMES. DRUNKEN CAB DRIVERS.—Two cab drivers, named George James Large, of No. 8, Bishops-court, Aylesbury street, Clerkenwell, badge 4,225, and Richard James Chit tendon, of 20, Windsor-place, City-road, St. Lukes, badge 16,452, wore brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of themselves and cabs, the first in High-street, Whitechapel, the second in Redraan's-row, Stepney. Large was found insensibly drunk in his cab and the horse drawing him along the street, and when aroused by a police-constable, he exclaimed, "Whore to, sir." "To the station-house," replied the policeman, who accordingly drove him there and locked him up. Chittenden was on his box quarrelling with a gentle man inside, who said he expected his neck to be broken, and that the cabman had driven him recklessly and furi ously. The prisoner lost his faro, who said he would walk to his destination. Mr Woolrych said that drunken cab-drivers were a most dangerous nuisance. Ile fined Largo 95., and in default six days' imprisonment. He fined Chittenden, whose offence was the worst of the two, because he had a fare, 125., or 10 days' imprisonment. The fines were paid. TEAIt-ITPS IN A WORKllOl7SE.—Thomas White, aged 36, Wm. Moran, 18, John Hunt, 20, and Thos. Oldcoto, 18, were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with tearing up their clothes in the casual ward of the workhouse of St. George-in-the-East, to which they were admitted last night. The prisoners made the usual excuse, that their clothes were dirty and offensive, and they could not, said one, tole rate them any longer. Mr. Woolryoh—lt is as bad as robbing the parish of the clothes you have on, fur the superintendent would not turn you out of the casual ward naked. Three of the prisoners were then sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment each, and Hunt to 10 days only. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. MORNING. EVENING!
