Clements, popu larly known as " Mark Twain," has become editor of the Bu f falo Express, and in his introductory address that Immo - rous writer says :—"I am simply going to do my plain, unpretending duty, when I cannot get out of it. I shall work diligently and honestly and faithfully at all times and upon all occasions, when privation and want shall compel me to do it. 1 shall not make use of slang or vulgarity upon any occasion or under any circumstances, and shall never use profanity except in discussing house rent and taxes. Indeed, upon second thought, I will not even use it then, for it is unchristian, inelegant, and degrading — though, to speak truly, I do not see how house rent and taxes are going to be discussed worth a cent with out it."—Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is said to meditate a lecture on "Kate and Petruchio." Mrs. Stowe has secured, by her article of defamation, a lively sale, not only for Macmillan's Magazine of this month, which has run through its fourth edition, but for Byron's poems, cheap editions for the million being advertised in the American press. Close observers assert that the demand comes from a class of persons who never read Byron before. This is curious,and bears out the assertion of a writer in the Standard that nastiness pays," but the public should stig matize itself, and not the writer of the nastiness. The experi ence of the New York booksellers, in this instance, shows I that even the works of a great poet are only made saleable by affixing to his name the zest given by a hideous crime. There was wisdom in the advertisement of the Missouri editor, asking for personalities of the meanest and most scurrilous description for one column of his newspaper. Even the Queen's Messenger would sell well if it would write something really spicy like Mrs. Stowe.—Negotiations are said to be pending for the transfer of one of the Brooklyn dailies to Mr. Butler, nephew of General Butler, late of Wilkes' Spirit, Mr. E. D. Webster, and Mr. J. It. Young.— According to the Athenamm, Mr. E. Dallas is no longer editor of " Once a Week." The "Broadway " and " North British Review" have also changed their editors.—Capt. Mayne Reid gives a deplorable account of how publishers deal with authors. According to that well known nove list the accounts they render are in the highest degree unsatisfactory, that is when they render any at all. They are more apt at pirating, but when they do enter into an agreement with an author, judging by Capt. Reid's expe rience, the author gets off but little better. FLORIDA. —The Governor of Florida has re cently issued a proclamation for an election in the eight westernmost counties of Florida, to settle whether they will unite themselves with Alabama or remain as they ate. The election is ordered for the 2d of No vember, awl if " yea," within sixty days of ter approval by Congress, there will ba a transfer from Florida to Alabama of all " that portion of Florida lying west of the thread of the Chattahochee and Apalachicola rivers, and west of a line running due south from the thread of the mouth of the Apalachicola, bending west so as to pass between the islands of St. George and St. Vincent." For this Alabama will pay, in ninety days after date, " one million of dollars, in bonds bearing interest at the rate of eight per cent. por annum, payable at the Treasury of Alabama in 30 years after the date thereof, the interest to be payable semi-annually, be the City of New York." Dakotah Territory, it is reported, will soon be asking fo - r admission into the Union as a State. Villages are springing up there rapidly, and more than five thou sand persons have emigrated to the Territory this sum mer. The present population is estimated at twenty thou sand, and forty-seven thousand acres of land have lately been taken up under the homestead and pre-emption laws by actual settlers. - ouise rtros- 'all rfiE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENIN6, SEPTEMBER 13, 1869.

The Indian papers just-to hand give a lively account of A ball at Simla, improVised by the Maharajah of Jepore, inlionour of the Viceroy of India and Lady Mayo. The ball, we are told, opened with quadrilles. In the leading double quadrille, the Maharajah had the honour of having the Countess of Mayo for partner, in fact it had been arranged that his Highness shorild open the ball with her ladyship, and for fully a week previous) ] he had been under Terpsichorean instruction. Contrary to the expectations of nearly all present, his Highness acquitted himself remarkably well—with great composure and such tolerable knowledge of the figures, that the very worst that could be said of his performance would be that It was stiff. His Highness, however, took a long time to put on his white kids, a feat which he executed . without the slightest hurry, though, at the moment, the ohserved of all observers, for the other "sets : " had voluntarily broken up, and, with the whole CompanY, ladies and all, had grouped themselves round the leading.set, to see how his Highness would get through his first ciiladrille. At first, there was a slight inclination to titter, but it soon passed away, for there was really nothing to laugh at, and when the quadrille had concluded, the mriversal verdict was " that Jeypore had done remarkably well 'rho bearing of the Countess of Mayo was very kind and encouraging and such as to make the native Prince feel that the great honour vouchsafed him, was not grudgingly accorded. Her ladyship once or twice, with a good humoured smile, prevented the Maharajah from making a dancing blunder, and the whole five figures of the quadrille (a simple one) were got through without a single mistake. His Highness " walked" through the figures somewhat slowly, but with the most profound attention to the novel and arduous task he had to get through. He is about thirty four years of age, low statured, and sickly-looking. -He speaks English, but after the manner of one who has tried to acquire it in adult years, and not been very successful. His first quadrille is, however, a matter of great prospec tive social importance as regards the native population. A CURIOUS NARRATIVE. The Daily News obtains from a French paper a singu larly interesting narrative, of danger to the French exiles In Jersey in the early years of their outlawry. Though signed by Charles Hugo, it is not difficult to trace in it the hand of his illustrious father, whose personal share in the events narrated would naturally preclude him from acknowledging the authorship. Piqued by the expres sion of a brother exile who had declared that he accepted the recent amnesty and thus abandoned " the secu rity of exile," M. Hugo sketches the condition of affairs in 1855. The plans of the French Govern ment were complete. The Emperor by his agents had instilled prejudices against the exiles into the minds of the Jersey populare ; and he had despatched the vessel of war, the Ariel, which actually lay at anchor in the port of St. Helier's. On the 13th of October all was ready for the new coup d'etat, The people were furious. The cap tain of the Ariel had held a second interview with the French Consul, and had left him with the words, "I await my instructions for to-morrow." Meanwhile the exiles were not uninformed of the danger which threatened them. According to M. Hugo, the Times had announced that "a French war steam vessel had entered the port of St. Helier's, and, as was supposed, with the intention of em barking the refugees," whifc the Illustrated London News had declared that "If the exiles should fall into the Lands of the French authorities, the fate of Pianori, whom they alit ct t-) regard as a martyr, would- not be too severe for them." One English journal alone, which N. Hugo calls Le Journal de Rep,olds, was honest in denouncing the intended violation . of British hospitality and the law of nations. "On the 13th October, 1855 (continues the narrative) near eight o'clock in the evening, in a little street of St. II elier's called Dou-street, a narrow way, lighted only by a solitary lamp, a house, haying four low windows on the side of the street, and a simple glazed door opening on a court-yard, was preparing to sustain a siege. The windows and the door had been barricaded ; the lights were extinguished. Profound silence and profound dark ness without ; within, if anyone had been able to enter, this is what ho would have seen. In the dusk of a narrow winding staircase, stationed two by two. upon the steps, and armed with iron bars and other implements, six men —six exiles, in an attitude of expectation, awaited silent, motionless, resolute, terrible. Not a word, not a cry, not a gesture. The defence had been thus arranged. The attacking party would be compelled to break through the windows and force the door of the court-yard. If the door should be broken in, the exiles would defend foot to foot every step of the staircase. The staircase captured and the house taken, those who were still alive would endeavour to escape by the windows at the back opening on to the roofs of the neighbouring houses. . The house thus menaced with a siege was that of the exile Zeno. In another spot—Rosevine-street —another house presented the aspect which we are about to describe. The door bar ricaded ; the outer iron gate fastened-with a padlock ; an enormous dog unchained upon the steps ; no one allowed to enter without declaring his name and being recognised. In the lobby, along the wall, loaded guns ; in the interior twenty-two exiles armed. Almost all had brought their own weapons. One of them—a 'Medical roan—had with him his case of instruments. The. women, who bad followed their husbands, were making lint. This house thus threatened with pillage, was the dwelling of the Italian proscript, iianciani." A third house yet remains to be described in the unmistakable manner of the author of "L'Hosinze qui Itit." " Seaward, beyond the limits of the town, upon the solitary, sandy waste of Azet, a third house, called Marine Terrace, was the most in danger. And yet the door was unbarred and the windows lighted. Of the seven exiles there present, not one was armed. The sole precaution taken by • the master of the dwelling had been so secrete in a place of safety, out of the house, ' a portmanteau con taining manuscripts. Around that sombre building, the outline of whose roof was distinctly traceable against the clear sky, all was deserted —the beach, the roadway, the country beyond, the wind which blew heavily, stifled all other sounds. This house, thus open, defenceless, and threatened with death, was that of. the French exile, Victor Hugo." According to the narrative, the unfortu nate refugees had still more to fear from the fury of the ignorant populace. The Jersey people regarded them as outlaws. The public-houses and wine-shops had risen against them. "Le gin et la police Bonapartiste (says M. Hugo) demandaient la loi de Lynch." The crowd, exasperated by the indignation meeting, and armed with lighted torches, spread through the town uttering cries of death against the refugees, and finally, in a com pact, threatening, and formidable body, marched upon the three streets already mentioned. But the end, which undoubtedly proves that respect for the law was not wholly extinct in the breasts of the Jersey mob can only be told in M. Hugo's own words :—" The muni cipal authorities hesitated. They called to mind the English law, and they sent their policemen to protect the three houses in danger. It was time...... One moment more, and the combat would have commenced. Suddenly, at the entrance of Don-street, near the door of the exile Zeno, the whole of this terrible and furious mob stopped short. It was before a policeman, who had uttered the words :—" Gentlemen, my superiors have ecn fided to me the defence of this door, and I will strike down the first of you who touches it. To enter here it will be necessa.y to pass over my body." And the crowd which had arisen against the proscripts defending the French law stopped before . a policeman defending the English law. This policeman was called Henley. History has preserved his name." On the morrow, as 111.. Hugo relates, the Ariel weighed anchor. Thanks to the resolute bearing of Policeman Henley, she had failed in her coup d'etat, and had missed her prey. 111. Hugo probably exaggerates the danger of kidnapping by the French Government, a step which would undoubtedly have led to a war between the two countries ; but the episode which he describes is certainly not one on which Englishmen can look back with satisfaction. For it is at least certain that a few days later twenty-seven of the refugees were driven out of Jersey by the authorities—compelled (as M. Hugo says) "to seek a second exile, some in Spain, some in America, and some in Brazil." A:mass meeting of twenty thousand persons was held on Sunday at Dundalk fn faiour of the release of the Fenian prisoners. Mr. Philip Callan, M.P., pre sided, and made an energetic speech. Resolutions were passed demanding the unconditional release of the prisoners. The tone of the meeting was respectful and conciliatory to the Government. ANOTHER IRISH OUTRAGE.-'•-There • has been another murder in Tipperary. A labouring man, named Michael Magrath, was attacked on Sunday morning, near Gooldscross, by several men, who beat him frightfully, and finally smashed his head. They then' threw the body into a quarry. 'Tue. persons named . Dwyer have been arrested. There had been a lung standing quarrel between them and deceased about a right of way to a manure heap, and one of thew recently suffered a month's imprisonment for assaulting Magrath. . • BYRON IN BED.—Upon one occasion he found the poet in bed, with his hair en papillote, upon which Scrope cried, " Ha, ha , Byron, I have at last caught you acting the part of the Sleeping Beauty." Byron, in a cage, exclaimed, " No, Scrope, the part of a - fool, you should have said." " Well, then, anything you please ; but you have succeeded admirably in deceiving your friends, for it was my conviction that your hair curled naturally." " Yes, naturally, every night," re. turned the poet; " but do not, my clear Serope, let the cat out of the bag, for I am as vain of my curls as a gir,l of sixteen."7—Gronclea Reminficenco. 105 107 ,7 10) 96 99 Di 110 63 72 31 Si 46 48 27 29 61 7 18 19 25: 25/ 43 i 5 78 83 - i 61 21 a 33 34 29 291 281 2f 3 q 41 6 p 22 21 1 id 2 2 p 6 7 78 79 791 f 11 loa 5 3 COLONIAL GOVILUNMENT SICCUILITIX6 B r itian Columbia, 6 per ----- 0ent.,1872 100 ... ....

The Emperor has at last paid a visit to Paris, and the general aspect of affairs is more cheerful in consequence. Fortunately he has experienced no evil effects from the exertion, and seems to be stronger than persons had imagined. The Emperor was very much surprised at the interest which his presence excited among the Parisians. It was quite of an exceptional character. The Emperor and Empress were in a closed carriage, but the Emperor was easily discerned through the large windows. llis face bore the traces of a severe illness, but he seemed to be in good spirits, and was able to get into his carriage without any assistance. It is encouraging to know that Drs. Nelaton and Fauvel have taken leave of their august patient, and only Dr. Corvisart remains in charge. All the members of the Corps Diplomatique left their names at St. Cloud on Saturday. As soon as the Emperor had been seen on the Boulevards, each foreign representa tive hastened to inform his Government of the important fact. Some preparations have been made for the depar ture of the Emperor for l'.;cu•rilz, but the weather has been so cold there that it is doubtful if the journey can be made with safety. Dr. Nc , laton is said to be in favour of the Palace of CompZ_i,gne being chosen as a residence. It is now affirmed that the Empress's voyage to Con stantinople is certain to take place, but that it is still doubtful if her Majesty will be able to be present at the inauguration of the Suez Canal. According to some accounts, the deputies will not be assembled before the month of November. This inti mation has produced a most unfavourable impression in many quarters, and the delay will be looked upon as a violation of the Constitution. Some regrets are expressed at the departure from the Article in the Constitution which made it imperatiVe to call the Corps TAgislatif together within six months of the period of its dissolution. The Constitutionnel declares that all eyes are fixed upon France, the first Catholic Power of Europe, to see what course she will take with respect to the (Ecumenical Council, and that the Imperial Government has already arrived at a decision on ,the question. It has been determined that the French Government will maintain an attitude of complete abstention. The Constitutionnel approves of this course, and says that the relations between Rome and the Catholic Prince have changed very much of late years. It is believed that the example of France will be generally followed by the other nations of Europe. For some time past there has been a talk of Prince Gortschakoff, and some of the journals have actually narrated his movements in Paris. It turns out that he has not been here at all, and has no present intention of corning. The object of his journey was said to be a desire to Ascertain the exact state of the Emperor's health, and the disposition of the public mind in the French capitnl. The truth is that he left Baden the day before yesterday for Ouchy, where he is to continue a course of treatrient for a tendency to gout from which he is suffering. The nberte pays a compliment to the ladies of Eng• land, and calls attention to the Crown Princess of Prussia presiding at some of the manceuvres at the camp of Stet ti I, and to the Duchess of Beaufort taking her husband's place at the Badminton feast the other day. Don Carlos has returned to Paris, and is staying at k old apartments in the Rue Chauveau-Lagarde. LANCASHIRE. Mr. Morehead, who has been sent over by the lemphis Chamber of Commerce to confer with Lane !shire magnates on questions affecting Vie cotton supply, has a new proposal for reviving the trade of Manchester. lle suggests that the surplus machinery should Ise sent to the South to work the cotton there, or that 1 company should be organised to import into the Southern States '250,000 Germans and Chinese, who would be equal to the production, within two years, of an additional million of bales in the South for importation to Lancashire. The people of the South do not attempt this enterprise simply because they have no money. THE SEE OF EXETER. The John Dull has an announcement that will give gladness to the hearts of Churchmen in the West of England. It states authoritatively that the Bishop of Exeter has expressed his determination to resign the charge of his See, under the provisions of the new Act, as soon as the necessary arrange ments shall have been completed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7 1 ds Day. MARLDOROUGH-STREET. DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN HYDE PARK.-Wm. Smythe, of No. 15, St. Alban's-road, Victoria-road, Kensington, was charged before Mr. Knox with b. in; drunk and dis orderly in Hyde-park. Polico-constable Hickman, 4G5 A, said that on Saturday evening ho was in Hyde-park near Rotten-row, when be heard the prisoner, who was drunk, grossly abuse an elderly gentleman. He requested the prisoner to go away, and he did so, but afterwards returned and abused two ladies, and he then took bins into custo.ly. The prisoner said he was sorry at what had occurred. Mr. Kuox said that after such language as the prisoner had made use of to harmless persons walking in the park, he was sorry that he could not inflict a higher penalty than 40s. or a month. THAMES. STEALING A GOLD WATCH.—Mary Bryse, also called Byse, aged 22 years, late of No. 9, Thomas-street, West Ferry-road, Poplar, a married woman, was brought up, on remand, before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of William Willoughby, of No. 4, Hornsey-place, in the same locality. There was an old friendship existing between the wife of the prosecutor and the prisoner. A few days since the prisoner visited Mrs. Willoughby, and kept following her about from place to place, and alsa went in and out of the kitchen. At that time there was a gold watch hanging up over the mantel-shelf in the back par lour, and at nine o'clock the same night, and some hours after the prisoner had left the house, the watch was mis sing. The prisoner had access to the back parlour, and could have gone there without being seen by the prose cutris, The prisoner was suspected directly the watch was missed, and the prosecutrix taxed her with the rob bery. She admitted she had taken the watch, and pawned it, but when she was given into the custody of police James Pater, 41 K, she said I did not have the watch, I never saw it. I did not know what I was talking about. 1 said I did take it because Mrs. Willoughby tried me so hard. The assistant to Mr. Distin Tuson, pawnbroker in the Burdett-road, now produced the watch, and said the pri soner pawned it on the evening of the day Mrs. Wil loughby missed it. The prisoner, notwithstanding the weight of evidence against her, said she was quite innocent. . . Mr. Benson—Very well, as you will not plead here, and may you are innocent, I shall commit you for trial. WEST3IINSTER. THE CONSEQUENCES OF INTOXICATION.—EIIis Betts, a middle-aged man, was charged with assaulting and injur ing Mary Ann Fag, of Bulrs-gardens, Chelsea. Complainant, a respectable-looking woman, with her face and arms both wounded, said that on Saturday even ing between six and seven o'clock she was at home, when she was attracted by the defendant throwing large stones at a number of children. Ono of the stones came into her yard, and she remonstrated with the defendant, when he made a blow at her with a sharp stone. She put her arm, which was cut with the stone. He then struck her another blow with a stone, which out her face. He was drunk. Defendant—She came oufand shook and struck me. A number of boys were throwing half bricks and stones at me, and I was returning them. Mr. Selfe—Wby should boys pelt you in the way you describe? Defendant—Because I'd beou drinking, I suppose. What right had she to interfere with me. Complainant denied defendant's statement. Mr. Selfe —You wore throwing stones about at the boys, as you describe, when she interfered to prevent mischief, when you assaulted her in that violent way. You are committed for 21 days. Elihu Burritt, the learned blacksmith, for the last eight years Consul at Birmingham, according to letters he has written to the American press, has established in that city au agency to facilitate the settlement in the United States of English farmers, mechauics,and labourers of all occupations, and to assist farmers and farmers' sons who desire to try their fortunes there to purchase lands in good situations and on favourable terms. He also pro poses to supply all who desire them competent and trust worthy English servants, guarantees being given and received "that confidence may be mutual." Mr. Burritt's friends state that he has given to his agency a mixture of that humanity and good-will with which his own life has been so highly favoured, and that ho will no doubt make his agency of good service to many on both sides of the Atlantic. An International Maritime Exhibition is an •nounced to open at Naples on the Ist of April, 1870. A Maritime Congress will also be hold at the close of the exhibition. A committee, of which Prince Amadeus, Duke of Aosta, is appointed president, will sit at Naples to draw up the programme of the exhibition, and be charged with all matters relative to its organisation. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says that heads of salad can be produced in winter in from twenty-four to forty-eight hours, by taking a box filled with rich earth, in which one-third part of slacked lime has been mixed, and watering the earth with lukewarm water ; then taking lettuce seed, which has been previously softened by soak ing in strong brandy twenty-four hours, and sowing in the usual way. We are assured, but will not vouch for the fact, that a good sized head of lettuce may be obtained in the time mentioned. _~ ,SPOR7ING NOTES. Bookmakers will have a busy time of it now that the weights for the Autumn Handicaps have made their appearance. The acceptances will be published in The Sun of to-morrow evening. There will be some good sport at Donca - iter this week. Sunlight or Sunshine, whichever Mr. Merry selects, will win the Champagne Stakes. Formosa or (leant des Batailles will furnish the winner of the Great York shire Handicap ; and Frivolity the Filly Stakes. In the absence of Blue Gown, White Slave or Hester will take the Clumber Plate ; and my choice of the lot handicapped for the Doncaster Plate, the only other race I can meddle with of those set for the opening► day are Vegpasian, Border Knight, Cardinal York, Dryad, and Electricity, of whom I select Vespasian and the representative of Joseph Dawson—probably Electricity. There are half-a dozen items in the second day's list ; but the Muni cipal Stakes, which looks a certainty for Normanby, will hardly produce a struggle. For the St. Leg..r I expect the following will be the PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCKEYS. HORSE. RIDER. Arlington... ... Clement Conrad ... ... C. Page Crocus ... J. Daley Drummer... ... Custance Duke of Beaufort Cannon George Osbaldeston Doyle Lades .. J. Adams Lord Hawthorn Chaloner Martyrdom .. Fordhani Pretender • • ... Osborne Pero Gomez ... ... Wells Royal Oak ... Grimshaw Starter ... ... Sadler Thorwaldsen ... Cameron Typhon ... ... ... Morris Pretender still maintains the position of first favou rite, and deservedly so, as no horse could be doing better work; but this time I fully anticipate seeing Pero Gemez lower his colours, as in the race for the Derby the latter lost six or seven lengths through being shut in, and then finished at his bead. In fact, two strides beyond the winning post Pero Gomez was first, while Pretender died away to nothing. The Drummer is a good, sound staying horse, but is not class enough for the company. Duke of Beaufort is the most likely to lower the colours of the favourites. Martyrdom does not go well in the market, but might run into a place. Typhon, George Osbaldeston, and Royal Oak have each in their turn met with some sup port, but public form is always the best guide to go by ; therefore I shall expect the judge to place PERO GOMEZ PRETENDER 2 DUKE OF BEAUFORT 3 Although the entries are not yet made for the Cup, I shall expect to see Restitution secure it for Baron Rothschild. Morna will win the Don Stakes, and Crocus the Parkhill Stakes. A FRESH MAN. SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE—This Day CUT BETTING.-THIS DAY.
