At 7.!5, NOT sIICII A FOOL AS HE LOOKS: Mr H. J. Byron. And 'l' HE GOOSE WITH THE GOLDEN EGGS: Mr J. Clarke and Mrs Stephens. he has shown in the answer he sent to the firman, some acknowledgment is due to the unwearied efforts of the Ambassadors of the Western Powers. Had it not been foLtheir seal and assiduity the desirable re sult would not have been attained, and Europe would now be on the brink of a war. Complications would have abounded, and embarrassments have prevailed on all sides. The telegram announces that the British Ambassador will proceed to England from Egypt direct on leave, and this looks like a confirma tion of the happy intelligence. At any rate, there is reason to hope for a respite from the vexa tious Eastern Question, and it is doubly gratifying to think that our recollections of the opening of the Suez Canal will not be marred by the interposition of a war, which could effect no desirable object, while it would most certainly have caused much inconveni ence, and been the prelude to further evils in the ut u re. It was easily foreseen by all who are familiar with Parisian politic; that the validation of the elections in the Cori s Legislatif would be no easy or rapidly accomplished task. Thanks to the courage and abi lity of an Opposition, which is something more than a name, the verification of the election of even official candidates is no longer a mere matter of course. In quiries, protests, counter evidence, are brought for ward and supported by the eloquence and ingenuity of able and energetic speakers. The Government is made to feel, in some measure, the:check imposed by a popular Parliament on the SOVEREIGN and his ad visers, even though the full dream of Parliamentary Government can never be realised with a Chamber partly composed of the nominees and representatives of the Administration itself. The scenes which have already taken place in the Chamber of Deputies have been full of interest and animation, and the discussion of Tuesday, in parti cular, was full of the most excited feeling. The sub ject under discussion was the election of M. J USTIN DURAND for the First Circumscription of the East Pyrenees, in which be was the successful rival of M. EMMANUEL ARAGO. M. DURAND was the offici a candidate, and laboured under the disadvantage of the presence of his disappointed rival in the Chamber Al. EMMANUEL ARAGO having been returned within the last week or two for one of the Paris divisions. The demand made on behalf of the Opposition was certainly far from unreasonable. A Parliamentary inquiry was demanded, and had the scene been laid in England instead of in France there can be little doubt that it would have been accorded. If M. JULES SIMON was prepared to substantiate one-half his charges the list of accusations against the Government candidate was formidable enough. Bribery, feasting, intimidation', influence, all were tried, and tried with such success that M. JUSTIN DURAND obtained 13,117 votes, M. E3I3IANUEL ARAGO only 8,475. The scenes at the election, if we are to accept the evidence of M. ARAGO, who was present throughout the whole of it, were startling enough. Bribery was carried on in the most open fashion, and the rastells, or banquets, where music and dancing were carried on, formed a costly item of expense. The rastells were severely commented upon in the Chamber, and fur nished matter for a very angry debate. The intimi dation was employed in the usual methods—em ployers threatened to discharge their workmen, customers to withdraw their custom, and even the dreaded word " Cayenne " was whispered by the gendarmes. This is a sound of no empty meaning in the Pyrenees, whence in 1851 867 were deported. Such, at least, is the testimony of M. JULES SIMON, and it was left uncontradicted save by the question put by the Marquis DE PIKE, " Did not the Convention and the Directory trans port the people en masse ?" M. SIMON readily ad mitted a charge which was so easily proved, and which could hurt no oue in these days, but called down thunders of applause from the Left by the de claration that he denounced such measures equally with those of 1851. Both alike were opposed to the principl.s of eternal justice, and off.msivc to the character of Frenchmen. Wholesale denials were, of course, nturnel to all these accusations, but the denials found no faith. The same unanswerable request was made again and again by the disaffected Give us a Ptirlia nentary inquiry, and theh the rights of the c; se will be clearly shown, and your election validated." So unscrupulous had been the course of Ministerial action, that protest after pro tat, from different classes of the population, was pr e sented against the acceptance of the election by the Chamber. But in spite of all this, in spite of the evidence and t h e arguments s o a b un d ant l y forth coming, the official influence was too strong, and a division showed 86 in favour of the instit u tion of an inquiry and 135 against it. The fact of one seat, more or less, being obtained by questionable means is unfortunately n o very rare or unparalleled one in any representative assem bly ; but it is more important and more ser i ous th a t the Government of the day should thus have power to pervert the ends of justice, to stifle th o u g ht, to hush up inquiry, and turn the very source of popular strength and the guarantee of popular freedom into an instrument of oppression and degradation.

Weld, a Roman Catholic prelate, in a drawing-room which was fitted up as a chapelle ardente. At the close of the mass the priests and choristers left the chapel in procession, the boys carrying lighted candles. Shortly_before eleven o'clock the funeral cortege started. It consisted of a hearse and six horses, and thirty mourning coaches, twenty-eight of which were drawn by two and two by four horses. The first three carriages contained Mgrs. Weld and Guelle, wihh the remainder of the clergy and choristers. Then came the carriages con taining the Duke d'Aumale, Due de Guise, Comte do Paris, Due de Chartres, Due de Ne mours, Due d'Alengon, Prince de Joinville, Due de Parthierre, the Ambassadors of Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Brazil, Belgium, United States Spain, Italy, Sze., Lord Clanricarde, Lord Gran ville, Lord Russell, M. Van de Weyer, Gen. Peel, Marquess d'Azeglio, Sir E. Antrobus, Baron do Cotto, Due Descagos, Comte de Porters, Comte de Jarnac, Baroness and Baroness de le Roths child, Sir A. Panizzi, Comte Roger, Comte do Bonill6, Comte de Grave, Comte de Bondy, Baron Trigueti, &c. From Weybriclge station Gen. Dumas was appointed to receive their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Duke of Cambridge, Prince Christian, and Prince 'Peck, who were to be pre sent at the chapel, her Majesty being represented, it is understood, by Lord Charles Fitzroy. The mournful cortege on quittiugTwickenham proceeded by road to the Roman Catholic Chapel at IVey bridge, where the remains of the duchess were laid to rest. The funeral arrangements were conducted by Messrs. 'l'. and W. Banting, of St. James's street, Piccadilly. In accordance with the standing orders of the camp at Aldershott, it has just been notified to the troops at that station that regiments of infantry are to wear tunics at the morning parade. On Wednesday the new pattern, or "Glengarry,' cap was issued to the 4th Battalion )rifle Brigade, at Aldtgal2Ott. A DR WILL, The cause of Foster v. Douglas occupied the attention of the Probate Court on Wednesday and Thursday. The plaintiff propounds the will of the late Elizabeth Allen, which, it was acknowledged, was made in a beershop. The defendant pleaded that the document was obtained by undue influence, and that the testatrix was of unsound mind. several witnesses, neighbours of Mrs. Allen, said that she was a woman of most intemperate habits, and was more frequently inebriated than sober. ghe would get joints of meat from the butchers and sell them at a merely nominal price. One of the witnesses said " she never had a comb in her hair ; " and another said that " she had been a stranger to soap for years." All the windows 'of her house were broken, and cats and other domestic animals made their entrance and exit at pleasure, and left unmistakable signs of their having been there. The will was made by the plaintiff who was almost the universal legatee, and was stated to have been signed at a beerhouse.—Dr. Hopewell, who attended her, said that when sober—which was seldom—the testatrix possessed sufficient capacity to make a will.—For the defence it was urged that, by her intoxicated habits, the mind of Mrs. Allen was so affected that she had not sufficient soundness of mind to legally execute a will. It was also contended that the snaking of the will was suspicious, as the person who prepared it was deeply interested, and the document was executed at a beerhouse, and shortly prior to her de mise the deceased denied having signed the will. After some deliberation, the jury found that the will was duly executed ; but that the testatrix was of unsound mind, memory, and understanding at the time she signed the will, and that she was unduly influenced in the making of it.—Lord Penzance thereupon pronounced against the will, and consequently the estate will be. divided, as if there was an intestacy. Dr. John Macfarlane, late Professor of the Prac tice of Medicine in the University of Glasgow, died on Tues day at his residence in Helensburgh, near Glasgow, at an advanced age. A notice of motion was given on Wednesday by a Conservative guardian in a Dublin Poor-law union to call on " the Prime Minister to grant a royal residence and a trien nial Parliament as the only legitimate remedies for the pau- perism and wide-spread dissatisfaction which exist," Mr. Childers, accompanied by his private secretary, Captain Seymour, C. 8., and Vice-Admiral Sir R. S. Robin son, K.C.8., Comptroller of the Navy, went down to Ports mouth by the first train from London on Wednesday and was officially engaged throughout the day at the dock yard. The English Independent this week discusses the question, " Whether, in view of the appalling growth of indifference to religion, the Free Churches ought not to make some special effort to call the attention of the un godly vicious population to religious truth." The High Church Mission has raised the subject of special services. Two claims against the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company for compensation for injuries arising from accidents were heard at the Manchester Assizes ot. Wednes day. In one case a bootmaker named Sheldon obtained a verdict fer £l5O ; and in the other a travelling jeweller, named Cohen, was awarded £7O damages. The installation and enthronement of the new Bishop of Carlisle, Dr. Harvey Goodwin, will take place in Carlisle Cathedral next Wednesday afternoon. Ilithorto it has been customary, except in the case of the late Dr. Wal- _ • _ degrave, who was installed in propria persona, for the new bishop to go through those ceremonials by proxy ; but Dr. Goodwin will not only be present but will preach a serum upon the occasion. The Bishop of Llandaff publishes in the !Western Mail :a letter relative to the position assumed by Dr. Temple in view of his consecration to the see of Exeter and his conneotion with the obnoxious and heretical volume of " Essays and Reviews." The Bishop thinks that before Dr. Temple's consecration, the Church has a tight to expect that ho will make " such a declaration of his settlements as will allay the existing agitation." Miss Emily Faithful delivered a lecture in Liver pool on Wednesday on "The claims and position of women with reference to their higher education." She argued that as there was in the country two millions and a half of unmar ried women working for their own subsistence, it was highly essential that the tone of female education should Le raised, so that women might bo rendered capable of undertaking those industrial occupations which would enable them to obtain a respectable and independent livelihood. A shocking accident happened on Wednesday on the Stockbridge branch of the Great Western Railway, at Cradley, three miles from Stourbridge. The fast train from Birmingham to Worcester and Hereford was proceeding at its usual speed through Cradley, shortly after five o'clock, when it ran into a goods train with great violence. The engine of the passenger train was thrown off the line, and the first carriage was much damaged. Ono passenger was killed, and also the stoker and guard. The other passengers escaped with but little injury. At the conclusion of their labours at the Maneester Assizes on Wednesday the grand jury expressed to tho judge their unanimous opinion that much unnecessary labour devolved upon her Majesty's judges, and great expenses were entailed on the country, by the trial of all cases of bur- glary, however trivial, at assizes, and they recommended such an alteration of the law as would enable magistrates to send such cases for trial at either the sessions or the assizes, according to their discretion. The learned judge informed them that the matter 'would very shortly be consi- dercd by the judicature committee, and he would take care that their presentment was brougLt under the notice of the proper authorities. At the Warwick assizes on Wednesday, William Woodward, 53, market gaidezer, was indicted for having attempted to burn down a house at Solihull, near Birming ham, with intent to defraud the Alliance Insurance Com pany, of that town. It papeared that the prisoner, on tho 13th of November last, strewed the floor of one of the rooms with gorze, saturated it with paraffin, and then put a large log of wood on the fire, one end of which rested on the floor, where a quantity of pitch had been placed. Calico had also been nailed in front of the windows, and the skirting boards torn up. Prisoner left the house about nine o'clock at night on the 13th of Novem ber last, and two hours afterwards the police noticed signs of fire on the premises, but they were easily extinguished. The prisoner, it was shown, had recently insured his furni- turn with the Alliance Company for £l5O, but sold it by auction before the Ere. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to eight years' penal servitude. On Wednesday morning an inquest was held at Birkenhead on the body of a boy eleven years old, who died from lockjaw, resulting from having his right thumb crushed by a crane. His thumb had been amputated by the junior house surgeon of the Birkenhead Hospital, Mr. Crean, who appeared at the inquest, and gave his evidence in a very self-sufficient and unbecoming manner. The coroner told him that he should have consulted the head surgeon on the matter, and have asked him to bo present at the occasion. Mr. Crean was very indignant, and said it was not necessary to have another medical officer in such a trilling case. The Coroner expressed strong displeasure, and reproved the surgeon for the manner in which ho spoke. The jury endorsed his remarks, and returned a verdict of accidental death, highly censuring the medical officer of the hospital for not consulting his senior, and re questing that the hospital committee be informed of their opinion that such operations should not undertaken by the junior officer alone. Yesterday evening the Ist Battalion 12th Regi ment left Aldershot Camp by detachments as follows :—Headquarters and three companies, under Colonel H. M. Hamilton, en route for Carlisle, to relieve the 40th Regiment, ordered to Ireland ; four companies, under Major M'Kay, for Fleetwood; and three companies, under Captain Sillery, to Burnley. The 35th Regiment also left camp yesterday even ing as follows :—headquarters and four companies, under Col. Atkinson, to Bradford ; four companies, under Major Tisdal, to Liverpool; and three com panies, under Captain Grant, to Fleetwood. The 35th relieves the 80th Regiment, which is ordered to Ireland. Both regiments left the North Camp station of the SouthlEastern Railway at 8 45 p.m., en route to their destination. The detachment of Metropolitan Police, from Chatham dockyard, to whom has been intrusted the watching of the Upnor magazines, the former watch men having been superseded, aro ordered for the future to be armed with revolvers.

The last news from Constantinople will affor goneral satisfaction, and set at rest the doubts which have been distracting the minds of many persons for some time. The VICEROY has at last agreed to con form to the wishes of the SULTAN, and avoid the chance of a collision. He has stated his intention of coming to Constantinople in order to assure the SULTAN of his faithful allegiance. The principal conditions of the last firman were that the SULTAN desired absolutely that all the taxes and imposts in Egypt should be levied in his name, and that the inhabitants should not be burdened with new taxes, unless there was an absolute neces sity for so doing. Lastly, it was intimated that no foreign loan should be contracted unless the SULTAN'S previous authorization had been obtained, and he recognized the necessity that existed for taking the step. The KHEDIVE was also admonished to adapt his future acts and conduct to the terms of the present Imperial firman, on all points, in confor mity with his respective rights and duties. The fir man likewise maintained all previous firmans. No doubt some modification of these terms may after wards be made, but at present it is satisfactory to hear that they are so far accepted. In many respects this firman, although couched in courteous terms, was to be regarded in the light of an ultimatum, and the VICEROY had evidently trespassed too far on the patience of his Sovereign. The friendly interposition of Foreign Powers could not be strained beyond the limits of conventional pro priety, and the weary diplomatists had well-nigh ex hausted their efforts. It remained, then, for the KHEDIVE to give an answer, and he must have well - weighed the consequences of giving the reply in the negative. At first sight the terms that are imposed may seem somewhat hurtful to the pride of the Egyp tian Prince, but in the end it may turn out that the change is for the best. The suggestions of his friends, if carried out to any considerable extent, might have played into the hands of his enemies, and a few years hence be would hare looked back to the opening of the Suez Canal as the date of his ruin. , Now that wiser counsels have prevailed, he can direct his attention to the development of the Indus ' tries of his people and work out their interests to the , best of his power. While he was at perretull variance with the authorities at Constantinople he could not hope or exp.2ct to effect a lasting settle ment of his affairs or to consult the dignity and welfare of his province. Had he persisted in his un wise attempts to shake off gradually, but effectually, the yoke of Turkish supremacy, he would in a very short time have had bitter cause to repent his bargain, for a struggle would have ensued, and ISMAIL PASHA'S rule in Egypt would have been at an end. As it is we see no reason why the SULTAN and the VICEROY may not remain good friends, or at any rate why they should not keep up appearances. While due praise mud be ACcor4cl to the aVicuor for the good sense EXPLOSION A 'OUTER MILL. A telegram from Edinburgh on Thursday night says : " About a quarter to twelve this morning an explosion took place in ono of the storehouses of the Rosslyn Powder Mills, the property of Messrs. Hay, Merrick, and Co., which are situated about a mile from the village of Rosslyn, and are built in detached sections, there being about 150 separate buildings. Eighteen barrels of sporting gunpowder were placed in the store-house this morning, and a short time before the explosion the house was visited by the person in charge, who found all right. A quarter of an hour afterwards an explosion took place, the building being completely destroyed, and other works unroofed. The houses near had their windows all broken. Only one man was hurt, and his injuries are not serious. TIIE CONVICT M.P., Since the election of O'Donovan Rossa for Tipperary, a number of letters have been addressed to him at the Chatham Convict Prison from Ireland, and elsewhere, with the letters " M.P." after his name, Under the prison regulations, however, no convict is permitted to write or receive letters from any perron except at intervals of several months—unless in very particular instances—and then only if they have borne a good character since the last period of their writing or receiving letters. Every letter addressed to a convict is also read, either by the governor, chaplain, or some other official, before the convict has it handed to him, and in the case of O'Donovan Rossa, the prison regulations have not been departed from. It would seem that Rossa was soon in possession of the information that he had been elected, although no official communication was made to him on the subject. Tho whole of the Fenian con victs now undergoing their sentences of penal servitude at Chatham are kept, as much as possible, during the hours of labour, from the other convicts, and, excepting in certain instances, are always employed within the prison walls, and not on the dockyard extension works. The principal work performed by O'Donoven Rossa is that of darning the convicts' stockings, in which he is stated to be an expert hand. Like all the other convicts, the Fenian prisoners have to attend school for so many hours daily. THE POPE'S ADVICE TO HIS BISHOPS. The Roman correspondent of the Times sends, under date December 4, the following :—" I see by the papers that a shipload of twenty-four bishops had a very bad pas sage from Marseilles to Civita Vecchia. It is estimated that one-third of the Council will be able to speak, or, at least, understand, English. There will be forty English and Irish bishops, seventy North American, some from South America, some from the Australian and other English colonies. I can hardly make out 200 ; but even that is a large contri bution from the British race. It suggests an interesting speculation as to the prevailing race and language of the next General Council, if there ever be another. It may find us in the majority. The reporters were all sworn, in the Sixtine Chapel, last Thursday, to the proper discharge of their duties. The Pope addressed an allocution to the assembled bishops in the Sixtine Chapel. He assumed iu the opening that the Council had been called to provide suitable remedies for the many evils that have in vaded the Church and civil society in these days. Both have to be rescued and preserved, and the Apostolic See alone can do it. Ho spoke of all the tribulation he had to suffer for Christ, and the comfort he found in the presence of so many brethren bound by every consideration to be perfectly united with him. But he anticipated disunion, blindness, worldliness, stupidity, and a disposition to be offended at doctrines difficult to the human reason, or humbling to human pride. There were still among us the counterparts of those low minded folk of. Galilee who left the Preacher because His sayings were hard. He oven expected the enemy sowing tares, and causing divisions in the flock. He felt himself, like the Apostle to the Gentiles, in daily conflict with them that are within as well as them that are without. The burden of everything was thrown upon him, and he looked for comfort where he could. In these trials and afflictions he naturally identified himself with his Master. When others left that Master, the Apostles would not. Whom else could they go to ? He had the words of eternal life. They went about with him always, everywhere, only leaving to return; however differing among themselves, yet one with Him. So he implored all to forget differences, to avoid them that caused offences, to come to the centre of unity—the House of the Lord, the Hill of Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem. He besought all to be of ono heart and one mind, and assured them that they who were of God would hear His voice now. It was no neutral or moderate course that he could be content with. They who were not with Him would be against him, for their allegiance would be sharply tested. The proposition to be made, so he implied, would be such as to leave no doubt who were the friends and who were the foes of the Apostolic See. Pius IX is wont to speak warmly and emphatically, and he was not wanting to this occasion ; but it remains to be seen whether even the Catholic world will carry its sympathy to the extent of sacrificing all its convictions, and aban doning the use of reason, for his sake." AN OBLIGING FRlEND.—According to an Ame rican paper, two friends were drinking together at an hotel in Sonoma, California, when one said to the other, " I wish you would cut my throat or my head off." The other replied, " All right : I'll do it for you," went out and bor rowed a knife, with which he inflicted a severe wound in the neck, causing almost instant death. There had been no quarrel, but both were intoxicated. The obliging friend was arrested. Tom Hood said he wrote to his butcher that it was necessary, for the sake of cheap literature, and the interests of the reading public, that he should furnish him with meat at a very trifling percentage above cost price; and that Mr. Stokes replied: " Sir, Respectin' your note, Cheap literature be blowed! Butchers must live as well as other pepcl ; and if so be you or the redin' public wants to have meat at cost price, you must buy your beast e s ses and kill yourselves." A correspondent in the Black Country has written to the editor of the Birmingham Gazette to say that he had attended a certain convivial meeting of a musical club, and that in the course of the evening the president called him a confounded jackass. The correspondent adds that one of the rules of the club was that "no swearing was allowed," and he concludes by asking, "Now, sir, I want to know if it was not swearing to call me a confounded jackass." The editor's decision is that the president was right. - THE 11.1EDIVE AND COTTON.—During the week of festivities at Suez, a number of Manchester gentlemen interested in the cotton trade, presented an address to the Viceroy of Egypt, asking his Highness to stimulate the growth of the plant in Egypt. The Khedive, whose own private estates produce nearly one-fourth of the whole crop raised in Egypt, replied that he was making and would make every possible effort to increase the cultiva tion of cotton in his country, and declared that canals would be commenced as speedily as possible to promote irrigation for the purpose. In his remarks, the Viceroy, alluding to M. de Lesseps's enterprise, admitted that some mishaps had occurred to vessels, and that it would be necessary to widen and deepen parts of the channel. The latter, however, ho considered only a question of detail, and he believed the success of the whole work Ras nos placed beyond any doubt. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.—The Arch bishop of Canterbury has had no return of seizure, and is gaining strength. His Grace is now removed daily to a room adjoining his bedroom, whence he can enjoy the extensive prospect to be had from the extreme point of the North Foreland, on which hishouse is situated. Motion is now complete in the leg, and sensibility is returning to the left arm. The appetite and spirits are good, and the pulse is becoming steady, the variableness of range before noticed being no longer observable. An attempt made on Thursday to stand upon the affected leg, and to move the foot of that silo forwards, was not altogether unsuc cessful. On the whole, his Grace proceeds favourably, and the fact that there has been no recurrence of the more important symptoms since the 23rd of last month furnishes his medical attend a nt s w ith a reasona ble hope that his Grace's amendment may now p ro ceed without interruption. —Lancet. AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM.—The line of the Cerro de Pasco Railway of South America is carred over the Cordilleras, and has a summit of 14,200 feet above the sea, or nearly the elevation of Mont Blanc. There are 70 miles of read over mountains and by precipices, along which only mules can travel. As this is the approach from the sea, the problem was how to transport the engines and machinery, the maximum weight allowed being only 300 lbs., while no object must exceed 7 feet in length. Consequently, everything had to go out in pieces ; the cylinders and steam chests usually cast in one were made in five pieces, and the wheels, tyres, and axles were all separate. A fixed workshop engine and boiler, a wheel lathe, drilling machine, blowing fan and smiths' hearths and tools, were also sent out, the fast headstock of the wheel-lathe being made in no less than fourteen pieces, yet an ordinary observer would not, it is said, notice anything special about it. A staff of boiler makers and fittcrs have been engaged to erect the engines on their arrival at Peru. They are the first locomotive engines seat out from Chia country in such 6 r • O DAILPiq c. oa ?if e Cilit riatrib• HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, Dec. 9.
