Account, Oct. 6 924 4 PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. MONDAY. Yesterday, at ton o'clock, the Vinperor presided at a Council of Ministers, which lasted for two hours. The Empress was also present. The Emperor, according to the Presse, left the room twice in the course of this meeting, which partook rather of a conversation than of an official deliberation, since four Ministers were absent. Three of these, MM. Magne, Chasseloup-Laubat, and Forcado La Itoquette, are influential members of the Ministry, and it is not therefore likely that so important a subject as the convocation of Chambers, which I under stand was the topic of yesterday's discussion, should be decided upon without their presence. I hear that M. Duvergier and two others explained the law of the case, and it was agreed that it is not incumbent upon tho Government to convoke the Chamber for the 26th October, the June session having satisfied the requirements of the Constitution. However the Ministers, according to the Constitutionnel of this morning, wish to avoid misconstruction, and it is intended to fix th rite of the convocation at the next Council to be held Thursday, at which all the absentees are expected to be present. It is a pity, after all to find "le plus tot possible " the only date mentioned. The anxiety of the public on this subject is not at all diminished. Tho Government is throwing away all the advantages it might have gained by the reforms of July, and the sinister rumours of which I have previously told you naturally arise from the question that is asked on all sides, "The Government are unwilling to advance, do they then intend to retrace their steps ? " Meanwhile the movement set on foot by M. de Keratry gains ground. M. Marion, Deputy of Isere, had already given his adhesion when I wrote last. M. Horace Choiseul has published an address to his electors to a similar purpose. M. Girault has now written to the Siecle declaring that if the Government neglect to convoke the Chamber by the 25th of next month, it will be either a crime or a suicide. An address to the deputies is being circulated through all the circumscriptions of the department of the Seine, and has received many signatures. It refers to M. de Keratry's intention to presont himself at the Chamber on the 25th, and calls upon the deputies of the Seine to second him. Notwithstanding all these . ominous signs of the popular impatience, M. Rouher is, I hear, counselling his august master to refuse the much-needed concessions. The Libertd remarks that the promoters of this movement are neither "©sprits exalt6s," nor irreconcileables. It was one of the Moderates it adds significantly, who on the 20th of June 1789 took the initiative of the reunion of the Jeu-de-Paumes. The more moderate the form of the demonstration the more it deserves respect. General Fleury's appoinftent to the Embassy at St. Petersburg has given rise to various comments in Paris. The speech of the Grand Duke of Baden does not deny the possibility of the annexation of the duchy to Prussia, but the Berlin Government is not likely to take any active part in the matter at present. The• Grand Duke of Baden's speech is looked upon as profession of love for the Northern Confederation. It is a proof that Baden only requires a sign from Prussia to induce her to join, and that all rests with the Cabinet of Berlin. The Empress will start on Saturday. It is said that she will not be present at the opening of the Suez Canal, as she will be back in Paris by the beginning of November. Her Majesty will travel in the greatest incognito through Italy; and she has refused all proposals of reception. Even at Venico no official person will present his respects to her on her arrival. The King and Count Menabrea will visit her, and the authorities of the town will also wait on hor at a later hour. There arit lust Tr , v :r corny forr.irm pr' l ates, who are on their.ray t P r for the Counci:. Among them is the Archbishop of the Argentine Republic and the Arch bishop of Mantchourie. The Liberte contradicts the report that Father Hyacinthe submitted his letter to the Archbishop of Paris before making it public. Far from approving of the course he took, M. Darboy was more deeply grieved than anyone at the attitude the Father assumed towards the Church and the Holy See. The Journal Official states thitt many of the journals have made a mistake in declaring that Marshal Canrobert was to be replaced in the command of the first army corps. It has never been the intention of the authorities to replace the illustrious marshal. The Emperor's health is so much better that the most favourable anticipations may bo indulged in. He went the other day on foot to Villeneuve l'Etang, and walked about for two hours and a half. Yesterday he again took a walk of some extent. I hear that walking exercise has been strongly recommended to his Majesty, and that the doctors attach great importance to his following their advice in this respect. The Court is not likely to see any change just now, as neither Vichy nor Biarritz is suggested for the Imperial residence. thE SUN, _LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1869.

The characterof the scheming London banker was well portrayed by Mr. Stephens, and Mr. Lin _ . Rayne, as the fast son of the aforesaid worthy, was, in the little he had to do, excellent. There is "a gentleman of the press" in the piece, one Mr. Gagg ; but Mr. Evans made him simply a bore and an unreality, not that there are some " pecu liar" people in the profession, but really we never met anything human that could be compared to Mr. Gagg. Mrs. Vezin sustained the part of Mrs. Harrell, the banker's wife, with remarkable power, but the part was not worthy her great talent. Aliss Rignold and Miss Maud Howard each looked pretty, and that was about all they had to do. With a little judicious alteration the play will be greatly improved, but even taken as it is, it met with a very favourable reception. It was preceded by a little sketch, entitled '• Wait for an Answer," followed by "The Water man," in which Mr. Cotte made a very favourable debut as Tom Tug. Mr. Barry Sullivan has commenced his season in the most energetic manner, and he has our best wishes for his success during the winter campaign. 'The Glasgow papers announce that Mr. George Tawse, secretary to the City of Glasgow Union Railway Company, has absconded, after misappropriating "consi derable funds" belonging to the company. The Mayor of Manchester (Mr. John Grave) and Mr. Alierman Bennett, president of the Chamber of Com merce, have received official invitation from the Viceroy of Egypt to be present at the opening of the Suez Canal. We are promised a great political meeting in Hyde Park on Sunday, the 24th of October. The object of the meeting is to secure the release of the Fenian prisoners. Deputations from Ireland aro to be present, and it is said that a leading Irish member of Parliament will preside. At tho county police court, Wigan, on Friday, a collier named Littler was committed to prison for two months, without the option of paying a fine, for breach of regulations in having, while at work in the Arley mine, taken off the top of his lamp to snuff the wick. At the sitting of the Beverley Election Commission on Saturday, Major Waterhouse, 31. P. for Pontefract, said he advised Ci cnlielin to abeent himself so as riot, to reveal things, but did not tell him to burn IGtters. The cominisbion will be adjourned to-day till the 19th of October. The Marquis of Tweeddale, who has hitherto enjoyed remarkably good health, is said to be very ill. The ve!eran general was brigade-major in Stuart's army in 1808, «as aide-de-camp to the Duko of Wellingt on in the Peninsula, and received a wound at the battle of Busaeo. The offer of a baronetcy to Mr. Thomas Bazley, M.P. for Manchester, has been accepted. The hon. gentle man, who is 72 years of nge, has long taken an active inte rest in tho commercial life of Manchester, and has repre sented that constituency since the death of Sir John Potter, iu Npvember, 1838. At the Bridgwater Police court on Friday John A. Buttle, smith, and his two eldest sons, J. and E. Duttle, wero charged (in accordance with the request of the commis sioners) with perjury, in falsely swearing before Mr. Justice Blackburn that they were not bribed at the last election. The three prisoners were committed for trial at the assize, but wero admitted to bail.

He says that "Spain's chief foreign danger has always boon from France. Bismarck is tho natural enemy of Napoleonism. Bismarck is as liberal as we can expect a European statesman to be. Bismarck is devoted to industrial, commercial, and educational progress. Bismarck is brave. Bismarck is strong. Bismarck is capablo. Long live King Otho." A desperate affray With poachers took place near Lydnoy. Mr. J. Clift, farmer, of Purton, hearing of poachers in a wood attached to his farm, proceeded thither, and found two men, with gun and dog, in pursuit of game. They im mediately commenced an attack upon him ; one of the men seized him, and the other beat him with the gun in a most brutal manner, breaking the stock over him and then de camping. Severe injuries were inflicted, and fears are ex pressed lest the unfortunate man's back is broken. A fatal velocipede accident is reported from Scot land. An insurance agent, accompanied by his son, Henry, eight years of age, and his daughter, Jessie, six years of age, were driving a three-wheeled velocipede carriage towards the bridge which crosses the Kelvin, when the machine swerved to the tight and rushed down the descent, through the hedge, and into the rivor Kelvin. A gentleman succeeded in rescuing the father and son, but the little girl disappeared and was drowned. At the Barnsley Court-house on Friday the trea surer of a friendly society was proceeded against for being in arrears to the extent of £9O with the society's funds. It was said that the accounts had not been audited ; that the treasurer could neither read nor write; that, though he pos sessed no means of his own, ho lent money to tho amount of several pounds at a time; and that the secretary kept the treasurer's books. The magistrates fined the treasurer £lO and costs, and ordered him to refund the £9O, or, in default, to bo sent to prison. At the Newport Police Court on Friday the boy Charles Gritt was charged, on remand, with the wilful murder of Miss Emily Amelia Collier, on Easter Monday last. Mr. Cathcart appeared for the prosecution, and said he proposed to abandon the charge of murder, and to prefer a charge of unlawfully administering poison with intent, Gritt repeated his former statement, that the confession he made was not true. The Magistrates, after consultation, decided that the evidence was not sufficient to support the charge, and the prisoner was discharged. From wreckage which has been picked lip on the Welsh coast—Carnarvonshire —it is feared that a screw sterimer which trades regularly between Liverpool and Spanis% ports, Las been loft in St. George's Channel. Mr. J. Garnock, of Stoneyeroft, West Derby, has received a lettor containing some information upon the sulject. It mentions that the folio wing is the address talicn from apart of a loose lid picked up on the beach :—" WD. and Co. finest cocoa shell, shipped by John Clement and Son, Malaga, steamer Maria. PL, 3,808." Other boxes and sun dries are strewed about the shore between Laudwrog and Carnarvon. Part of a cloak has also been picked up on the same shore. Her Majesty's ship Terrible has arrived at Gren_ ock from Devonport with stores for an ironclad now being built by Messrs. Napier. I On Saturday evening Mr. Barry Sullivan come. menced his winter season with the production of a new comedy, by Mr. Thomas Morton, entitled " Plain English," but the plot is by no weans novel, and there is, with few exceptions, little in the characters represented. The coinedy, however, has been very tastefully mounted, and with the talent with which its chief personages are repre sented, it will attract audiences for some consi dcr.able time—audiences that will ratify the favour able reeeiptiou which it met on the first night of its performance. The leading character in the play, one Prank Blunt, a straightfor ward, outspoken Englishman, has nearly ruined himself by his plain speaking, and seeing the reward he is about to reap for his bravery, he for a moment pauses i❑ his career to ask himself a few questions. However, he satisfies himself he is but doing right, and comes to the conclusion that in the end he will not be left to perish friendless and in want. Through the influence of a college chum he obtains an appointment as secretary to a schem ing and not over scrupulous banker, and begins his duties by doing all iu his power to frustrate the schemes of the millionaire. Ile also, by his " plain English," changes the character of a money grub bing pawnbroker--a character very closely ap proaching the great creation of one of the greatest of English novelists, viz., old Scrogge —into a free and bounteous distribution of the wealth he has accumulated, saves a friend who stands in need and is worthy of assistance, unmasks a bully, and, finally, makes a fast and timid, not to say cowardly, young spark the champion of his mother's honour. Frank Blunt having ail this to do, it is no wonder his part is the greatest in the piece; in fact, it is the only one, all the others are merely toys with which he carries out his work. Mr. Barry Sullivan represented this verydifficult character, and he did so with a taste that was unexceptionable, a force and determination true to nature, and with a talent that proved him to be one of our most clever and accomplished actors. Mr. George Honey had the next best part—old Martin, the pawnbroker —which he sustained with a reality that was wonder oILDINANY sliAitES AND STOCKS. 'are Railways.

POLICE IN TELLIG EN CE.—nis Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULTS AT A FlRE.—Joseph Drake, a lath• render, of Warren-street, Tottenham-court-road, was charged with assaulting Edward Shannon, a young man, with a screw driver, and also assaulting Police-constable Green. The complainant Shannon was not in attendance. It appears that on Saturday night there was a fire in Whitfield-street, Tottenham-court-road, and while the constable was endeavouring to keep the crowd back the prisoner struck him in the face. The prisoner was after wards pushe d down by the crowd into the water, and on getting up he charged Shannon with picking his pocket, and struck him with a screwdriver, and he was then taken into custody for the two assaults. The prisoner denied resisting the police, and said tha , some one picked kis pocket. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s. THAMES. A HAPPY FAMILY.—Thomas Welsh, shoeblaelr, aged 21 was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with violently assaulting his married sister and breaking her nose. Ihe complainant said that her husband was a hawker. On Saturday night her brother asked her for the loan of sixpence, and she told him all the cash she bad was stock money for her husband, and he immediately struck her a heavy blow on the nose and broke it. James Welsh, a younger brother, corroborated the com plainant; and after a good deal of recrimination and abuse among various members of the family, Mr. Benson sen enced the prisoner to three months' hard labour.

There was some extensive betting at the various clubs on Saturday. The Amaranth colt and Vex were each inquired after for the Great Eastern Rail way Handicap, offers to accept 8 to 1 about either being frequently heard. Bookmakers, however, declined to offer more than G to 1 on the field, and, consequently, nothing was done. John Davis remained firm at the head of affairs for the Cesarewitch, 1000 to 80, and various smaller transactions at the same rate of odds, being booked in his favour, the price, however, being always forthcoming when wanted. There was a strong movement in favour of Starter, who advanced to 100 to 7, after having been freely backed at 100 to G. while towards the close the forme price was so readily accepted as to cause layers finally to limit their offers to 13 to 1. There was no disposition evinced to support the Lady Evelyn filly at the offered price of 100 to 6, and 20 to Cherie was equally friendless. Taraban's highest offered prico was also 20 to 1, but his would-be backers stood out for longer odds. Toby was freely backed at 20 to 1, 2,000 to 100 being booked about him in one bet, while 1,000 to 70 was accepted five times " with a start." Cecil was made the medium of some genuine business at 1,000 to 30 and 30 tc, 1, the final offer against him not exceed ing 25 to 1. Tramp appeared to be hopelessly gone, as much as 50 to 1 being laid against him, that price being also freely offered at the close. The remaining quotations require no comment, consist ing, as they do, mainly of offers. The only feature in connection with the Cambridgeshire was the re newed desire manifested to support The Prior. At 20 to 1 the horse would have been largely backed, but 100 to 6 was generally the highest price offered against him. For the Derby 10 to 1 was wanted about Sun shine, but 9 to 1 was the highest obtainable prico about Mr Merry's filly. The Newmarket First October Meeting commences to-morrow, and no► doubt before the week is over there will be several material changes in the betting. For the Bucken ham Stakes Sunshine is certain to beat Kingcraft, and be installed as the ruling favourite for the Derby. Amaranth colt and Vex have the most taking appearance for the Great Eastern Handicap. The Laird should win the Four-year-old Triennial Produce Stakes, and Pero Gomez the Grand Duke Michael Stakes ; the Biennial Stakes will likely ba a walk over for Duke of Beaufort. Kingcraft should have no difficulty in securing the Twenty-Second Triennial Produce Stakes. Scarbro' will win the Forlorn Stakes. The result of the Great Eastern Handicap will be a guide for backers in the New market October Handicap ; but at the same time I would strongly recommend Suffolk for a place. A FRESH. MAN.

He arrived at St. John's at ono o'clock, and was received at the station by Lieut. Governor Wilmot and staff, tho Corporation of tho city, and various societies. Addresses of welcome were made by the city authorities and the justices of the peace, to which the Prince roturnod written replies. An immense crowd was present at the station. The Prince was driven round the city and then to the Waverley Hotel.

CHAMPION FOUR-OARED RACE. Negotiations are pending between the representatives of the best crows from the Thames and Tyne respectiolg the settlement of preliminaries for two four-oared matches, one on the Thames and the other on the Tyne, and all difficulties are removed saving the matter of the steorers, the Tyno stipulating that the coxswains shall not weigh less than five stone, to which the Thames men will not assent, on the ground that it has never been so required be fore, and that such a clause in the articles was never con templated when they issued their challenge. Should this be amicably arranged, the first match will take place about Nov. 5, for £2OO aside, from Putney to Mortlake ; and th• other about Nov. 22, from the High Level Bridge to Scots wood Suspension Bridge, on the Tyne, for a like sum, and the crews will in all probability be: Thames—Joe Sadler, H. Kelley, W. Messenger, G. Hammerton, G. Hammertoe (cox). Tyne—Jas. Taylor, J. Winship, W. Martin, Jas. Renforth (champion), J. W. Hall (cox). Marksman is for sale.
