Apart from the Con gress we mean—in regard to other questions be yond that of Italian Independence. Though that arch difficulty alone has signalized, in a remarkable manner, very recently, the chief flaw in this boasted strong Government! The rivalry, namely, of the two Premiers—the Premier defacto, and the Premier (in his own estimation—if in no one else's) delure my Lord JOHN RUSSELL and my Lord PALMERSTON; So very much afraid are they of each other— or at any rate, as Mr. SNAGSBY would say, " not to put too fine a point upon it"—they are so painfully jealous of each other, these " friendly brothers," arcades ambo, that they cannot dream for the life of them for one instant of trusting the one the other out of his immediate presence and observa tion. So that while the• rest of the Powers of Christendom may be represented at the diplomatic board of green cloth in the French capital by their respective Prime Ministers or Foreign Seere taries—not so England! Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Lord PA MERTON must sit side by side ,on that delightful front Treasury Bench in the House •of Commons : they - are so cordially attached to one another—they cannot brook separation ! This, however, in truth, for the one iimple reason that the one left behind (sup posing either went to the Paris Conference as Ple nipotentiary) would infallibly take advantage of the other's absence to topple down, as the case might be, his rival's actual or pretended hold upon the Premiership. And so my Lord. COWLEY slips into the vacant fauteuil —having as his coadjutor and compatriot the noble Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, my Lord WODEHOUSE. And having thus adroitly solved the difficulty of the Con gress, so far as it more immediately affected them selves individually, Lord SottN and Lord PALMER STON are likely to havd a wonderfully pleasant time of it together in the approaching session of Par \ liament ! First of all, there arc so many nice big and little, questions, of the utmost possible urgency and delicacy, that really and truly must be taken into account at last, that there is no escaping from, that brook not by any chance of the faintest probability of further postpone- There is the largest, the most urgent, the ment. most delicate, the most complicated, the most 'com prehensive question, the reform, of all reforms, the reform of Parliament, the reform of our whole 4 • 1...• - system of popular representation. Of the impera tive necessity of taking this one paramount diffi culty at once into consideration Ministers have for months past had pretty frequent and forcible re minders; Indeed, upon this point the hon. gentle maxi the member for Birmingham has assumed to himself, as we may say, a sort of ex-official charce- THE' SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBE R 8, 185 ter as the Government remembrances. " ventilated " the subject over, and over again in all 'directions; He has collected together large audiences in most of our principal towns, particu larly in the northern and central provinces, and has there discussed before them the grand problem of Parliamentary, Reform time and again, upon this side and upon that, in every conceivable light, and in every possible point of view. Last of all, yes terday, in the metropolis itself, in that elaborate oration given by ourselves elsewhere this evening upon the occasion of the Conference of the Reform Committee at the Guildhall Coffee House, Gresham street, in the City of London. Again, however, even in the otherwise manly speech of this frank and generally uncompromising champion of Reform, we observe, that pernicious disposition which was so deplorably manifested last session in quarters in which we should hardly have looked for it—the disposition to concede the Ballot to the prejudices of the Whigs, to give the go by to the Ballot for the sake of the personal comfort of those paltry and paltering reformers ! " With regard to the Government," said Mr. BRIGHT, in one part, " he should be very sorry to say a word that appeared ill-natured, or that was calculated to increase their difficulty in dealing with this ques tion"—of course not ! This, observe, is to the Whigs, to the hotch-potch Coalitionists ! The same gentle manly magnanimity could not be displayed to- Wards the members of the ex-Government by our 'high-principled Tribune of Birmingham ! But then, of course, so much more is to be looked for from the Whig-Peelite-Radical Coalition ! Is it ? Indeed! We will look a little farther down Mr. BRIGHT'S speech to find some evidence of this. Let us see. " Unquestionably the Government would have difficulties, and very considerable diffi culties, to overcome." Well, no—that's not it. That, forsooth, is little : else than an echo of one of SAM WELLER'S immortal aphorisms, when he says to MARY, or to somebody else—" It's a self-evident proposition, my dear—as the cat's-meat man said to the servant•girl when she called him No Gentle man !" The Government will, as Mr. BRIGHT observes, have difficulties to overcome, and very considerable difficulties, too—that is, as he him self acknowledges, " unquestionable." " It needs no ghost to tell us that"—nor yet even this shadowy phantom of one of the old classic Tribunes of the People ! We must look lower down in the re cord of his utterances than this, if we would find anything like a pertinent indication. Ha! here, surely, at last we have it ! Yes—observe. Mr. BRIGHT says, Mr. BRIGHT has the consu mate coolness to avow, literally, in so many words that—" lie should not oppose the Government Bill, because it did not include the ballot, if it should so happen that the ballot formed no part of it ." Now this we do not hesitate to pronounce at once quite plainly to be the threat of a Dishonest Com promise ! Why, a Reform Bill as good that, a Re form Bill minus the most important, the most essen tial reform of all, we might have had for certain any day this last session from the Tory Govern ment! Yet Mr. BRIGHT connives at the unfair expulsion from office of that Government by a dodge, as Sir HUGH CAIRNS happily and truth fully phrased it, by nothing less disgraceful than a Parliamentary dodge —to what end ? That we might have the Whigs and Peelites and Radicals back again in office, bound together by the bonds of an unnatural, and we might go the length of calling it an unprincipled Coalition, from whose hands a Reform Bill, without THE BALLOT, will actually be acceptable frQm the pure and honest hands of Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, the high-minded and immaculate Reformer of Bir mingham! In regard to this astounding avowal on the part of Mr. BRIGHT, we again declare that we do not hesitate, for an instant, to designate it as nothing less shameful than the threat of a Dis honest Compromise. We are now to be in some shape parties to the Congress. In whatever way we appear there sub- stantially it must be in one of two characters—as integral members of it, bound in honour by its de cisions, although we may be in a minority ; or as simple .advisers giving the benefit of our counsel, but accepting no responsibility beyond that of honestly advising in the interests of right and justice, and of the general advantage. If the first position is chosen we need a man as plenipotentiary who shall speak with authority as well as with wisdom—some one who shall be able to enforce such terms as he could consistently sign in behalf of the nation. Could not this be done, the plenipotentiary of England would have to retire from the conference and leave the remaining Powers to agree to such arrangements as they pleased, while his own country would remain in the unpleasant attitude of a political protestant. A • plenipotentiary must, above all other representatives, be held to commit his country to the course he sanctions ; and if he went to Congress, and continued there, however objectionable its resolves, we do not see how we could escape being bound by the final con clusions of the assembly. He might, indeed, not sign all the articles agreed on, but the only efficient protest would be to withdraw, and leave the delin quents to themielves. But if we send merely an adviser, though we might avow our intention not to insist by any strong diplomatic measures, much less by another approaching hostile measure on what we thought right, what would be our position ? apparently that of friendly mediators. It is notorious in the pre sent case that there will be strongly antagonistic parties to reconcile to one course of action, however opposed their views and wishes ; would the advies of England render unpalatable stipulations more tolerable ? What that advice must be, all parties concerned well know ; hence Austria may be in clined to regard England as a partisan and a special pleader rather than as a mediator, and to attach little value to her advice. On the 'tither hand, if Austria must yield, it will less offensive to her pride to give way in proportion to the number and rank of those to whom she concedes. Sardinia and the revolutionised Duchies she would not hearken to for a moment ; but it would be quite another thing to accept the proposals of a first-rate Power, which has been only too considerate of Austrian wishes in times gone by. For the first position, that of a plenipotentiary, wc, know of no man, as from the first we sub,►- Bested, we could compare in influence, in expe- rience, and in adroitness combined, with our Premier ; we might add, in determination also, when he. really has a point to carry. And iu the present case, notwithstanding his friendship with Louts NAPOLEON, we should think he has so \ much reputation at stake with Europe and with his own country, some, too, to retrieve her, since the Conspiracy Bill affair, that we can hardly doubt he would have his way in regard to Italian rights . 1 t and liberties, or would leave the Congress to itself. But we think he would succeed. Indeed, he must do it if he went. Is this the reason why he does not ao ? Or is it really, what is true enough, that the head of the Government, when the House of Com mons is so nearly balanced, can hardly leave home ? The nanic of Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR, who dealt so cleverly and firmly with NICHOLAS of Russia, has also been mentioned ; a valuable man, doubt- I less, and trained in a school of the most instructive kind. With decided instructions he would do as , much as any mass of equal standing to give effect to them. It is haraly needful to advert to Lord JOHN RUSSELL or Sir. JAMES HUDSON, our ambassador at Turin—for rea sons pretty well known, they would not do. The former has made one great failure in this line ; the latter is thought to be too obviously, bassv.dors. though by no means too much so, a friend of Sar dinia. The upshot seems to be that we shall send to the Congress a clerk, namely, a respectable lord of the name of COWLEY, who has long been employed in receiving a handsome salary and living in a hand some house at Paris, to be the channel of our offi cial communications with the French Government, He may be a very worthy lord, for all the country knows about him, but it does know that his letter, in the affair of the Conspiracy Bill, was such a miserable affair that, had he been a member of a Cabinet, it would have been sufficient to overthrow it. He has notoriously neither the parts nor the spirit which are needed as our representative at such a Congress as this will be. He may do as well as anyone else to read to it the telegrams and letters sent to him from England, but it is cer tain that he is not even equal to Lord CLARENDON, who yet failed so sadly at the last Paris Congress. The important point to keep in mind respecting our position in the Congress is, that we, as a nation, neither have fought in Italian affairs, nor mean to fight. We have purchased no right to in terfere, nor do we mean to purchase it. We have merely the position of a bystander amongst the nations ; and a bystander of very pronounced opi nions. True, these opinions are simply the opinion of the law of nations. We do but declare the prin ciple in reference to nations, which is the bond of every civilised society, that right not might should prevail, that the weak are to be as independent as the strong, that every man's house is his home, and so forth. But, these very principles we ourselves ignored at Vienna in 1815, and consented to the grass interferences with national rights which have caused a great part of the wrongs we now want to see rectified. We are, however, fully entitled to the benefit cf confessing our error, and of the superabundant proof since furnished that all the Italian arrangements, except, perhaps, that of Pied mont, were blunders. Even, in fixing the extent of the kingdom of Sardinia, there was sad injustice done at the time to Genoa. Genoa, however, has probably condoned this. Sicily; the Duchies, and Venetia never have and never will ; and, we are certainly entitled to ask justice and right on behalf of all those whom. we contributed to wrong. We go to the Congress as penitents for 1815, preaching righteousness for 1860. When to the difficulties of obtaining the right man to send, and of our uninfluential position in regard to physical force, we add those of the known object of Austria, of the similar course marked out for France by the EMPEROR'S letter, of the legiti mist tendencies of Russia and Prussia, combined with their unfriendly feeling towards Austria, it is evident enough that our part is not a very easy one. It is useless to predict ; we can only hope that Sardinia and the Duchies will be able to resist any thing like intervention, that they will fully assert their right to combine as they have resolved to do; and that the issue will be one strong State in the north of Italy. Best of all if Austria could be persuaded to sell Venetia, the French to evacuate Roane, and Italy be left to settle accounts with her Popes and Kings and Dukes as she sees fit. This were, however, to expect grapes of thorns and figs of thistles. A Congress of Monarchs is not the assembly to confer liberty on nations. LITERATURE. Post o . ffic i e London Directory fur 1860. Kelly and Co. The appearance of another of these stupendous volumes is a proof of the waning year. It returns with its familiar features, and though truly " an old friend with a new face," oa each occasion, we find little change in its general character. If we have fewer alterations to remark than formerly, it is because , the indefatigable industry of the proprietors has left less room for improve ment, and it would be difficult for the most capti ous of critics to suggest a change for the better. Indeed, when we consider the immense size of the volume, its careful subdivisions and classifications, its faithful record of all tho varying official and parliamentary authorities, its authentic analy sis of the highways and thoroughfares of the modern Babylon, and the wonderful care and Correctness with which this vast amount of labour is accomplished, We shall consider the absence of defecti; and deficiencies as a positive marvel. A volume, which extends over 2,300 pages, and whose index is nearly seven pages long, deserves certainly to be ranked among the achieve ments of modern enterprise. In the brief preface, the compilers, whose experience extends over 23 years, speak as follows :—" One great advantage is that the entire contents of this huge volume are always kept standing in type ; this not only affords the opportunity of passing the sheets through the press with much celerity,but prevents a large amount of typographical error, which would be unavoid able in a work of the nature of the present all newly composed. It may be doubtful whether any periodical issues from the press in which there is less obvious proof of the amount of labour involved in its production, a considerable proportion of the contents appearing as in former editions ; yet every line of each of the elaborate classifications has been tested as carefully as though it had been entirely fresh matter. Among the various minor emenda tions it may be mentioned, that the surgeons who have registered under the new act of Parliament are distinguished at page 1832, and that in cases in which streets have been renamed or renumbered by the Metropolitan Board of Works, the old name and number, as well as the corresponding new num ber for each house, are shown ; also that the recent alterations which have been made in the postal dis tricts are shown in the Map of London, which is as usual prefixed to the volume." It would be a work of superfluity to commend this Directory to the notice of the public, since it is an indispensable auxiliary to every man of business in these days of constant change and rapid communication. We need only assure the subscribers that their old friend is as deserving of their patronage as ever, and congratu late the proprietors on its proved efficiency and e .tablished character in the sixty-first year of its existence. The map, too, is worthy of all praise. Post Oflice Directory (f :Hampshire, and Dorsetshire, Kelly. This is another of Messrs. Kelly and Co.'s valua ble series of county directories. It comprises the three southern counties of Hampshire, 'Wiltshire, and Dorsetshire. The plan on which it is conducted is familiar to most readers, and considering the clearness and comprehensiveness of its arrangement we are not surprised to learn that its predecessors have given general satisfaction • We arc assured by the compilers that no expense has been spared ; experienced agents having visited every town, vil lagc, and hamlet throughout the localities described. The research and expense necessitated by the com prehensiveness of its details must, indeed, have been considerable, and the advantages which such a volume presents to a stranger in visiting these parts of the country are innumerable. An efficient index prevents delay or perplexity in turning to any particular spot; a list of the principal streets in each neighbourhood are given, and the nearest money-order office has t een added to every village not possessing one. We have only to add that maps engraved for the work, and corrected to the I time of publication, offer additional assistance to the inexperienced traveller. LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : ROME, DEC. 6. The official invitations are to be delivered simultaneously by the French and Austrian Am- According to a telegram received from Vienna, the Courier (hearer of the Austrian invitation) will not arrive at Rome before the 10th instant. VIENNA, DEC. 7. Count Reehberg has been instructed by the Em peror of Austria to proceed to Paris, to be present at the opening of the Congress. Count Rechberg will afterwards be replaced by another Plenipotentiary. Count Buol, formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, is also going to Paris, whence he will proceed to Rome, and stay there during the winter. It is stated that Austria and France have agreed that no delegate or representative of the States of Central Italy, the Governments of which are not recognised by the European Courts, will be ad mitted to the Congress, neither in an official qua lity nor with any titre ogiciettx. BERLIN, DEC. 8. The differences between Prussia and Electoral Hesse are in a fair way of being settled by the friendly intervention of the Federal Diet. FLORENCE, DEC. 7. The Provisional Government has just despatched orders to all diplomatic agents and public func tionaries appointed by the Grand Duke, and being at present abroad, to return to Tuscany within a fortnight, under penalty of losing their pecuniary allotments or pensions. ST. PETERSBURG, DEC. 7 The French Ambassador and the Chargé d'Affaires of Austria communicated yesterday to Prince Gortschakoff the invitations to the Congress of their respective Governments. These invitations were brought to St. Peters burg by a courier of the Austrian Government. Prince Gortschakoff will be first and Count Kisselcff second Plenipotentiary of Russia. PARIS, TITURSDAY.

The trial concerning the publication of the apocryphal letter in the A7ni de la Religion ter minated to-day.

They do not contain any detailed account of the last affair in Morocco, but they say that there is reason to believe that the major part of the troops with whom the Spaniards have hitherto fought are reinforcements sent by the Emperor Muley Abbas (who is still at the head of a large army between 'rangier and Tetuan) to the contingents at Anghera. One of the journals mentions a curious incident in the combat of the 25th : —The Moors, in spite of the discharge of grape, succeeded in reaching the Spanish guns, and they fought hand to hand with the Spanish artillerymen. Some of them were even animated with such rage that they bit the Spaniards and attempted to strangle them. On the Ist the weather, says a tele graphic despatch, " was horrible" at Ceuta. It was said that the Moors had carried to Tangier the heads of seven Spaniards. Mr. Drummond Hay, the English Consul-General at Tangier, had arrived at Gibraltar, but it was said that he would shortly return to his post. The son of the King of Congo had arrived at Cadiz from the Havannah on his way to the Spanish colony of Fernando Po ; but why he goes there is not stated. FRANCE. • PARIS, WEDNESDAY. A Paris letter, in the Nord of Brussels, says " Several Governments,.and England among them, have already made known their acceptance of the invitations sent to them for the Congress. Lord Wodehouse, the present Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in England, has, it is stated, been appointed second plenipotentiary. The. replies of Prussia and Sardinia to the invitation of France have been received, giving complete adhesion. Nothing tends to contradict the first account given, that M. de Schleinitz and Count Pourtales had been fixed on as first and second plenipotentiaries for the Government of Berlin. There is no truth in the statement that the letters for the King of Naples and the Pope had not been sent off. The exiled sovereigns and the present chiefs of the Governments of Central Italy will plead their cause before the great European Coun cil by means of notes and memorials. The publica tion of a new memorandum by the Duchess of Parma is already spoken of." " The electoral agitation in Piedmont and Lom bardy," says a letter from Turin, "since the carry ing into effect of the new communal and provincial law has been very unusual. Genoa and Turin, though accustomed during ten years to the consti tutional regime, never witnessed such a serious movement. At Milan all the associations and all the clubs of trades and artists have been trans formed into electoral committees. It is most grati fying to see a country understand and exercise its lilmties so well." The Monitore of Bologna continues to exhume documents relative to the administration of the cardinals. It now publishes a note from the prc legate of Bologna, Palluci de Cabolli, respecting a girl of seventeen, named Angela Capilloni, arrested for having worn a white, green, and red apron. When interrogated by the police as to the origin of the said apron, she replied that she had bought it a year before merely to vary her costume, and meant no harm whatever ; that she generally wore it when dressed up, and no complaint had ever been made against her before.

AND THE POLISH NOBILITY. (Front the Polish Journal ems.) KAMIENIEC PODOLSKI, October. While the world resounds with the praises of the progressive government of the Czar Alexander, and really considerable changes have taken place in Russia, we in Poland have enjoyed but a small share of the general relief. The system introduced by the Czar Nicholas still remains, though concealed by a semblance of graciousness. The nobility of the ancient Polish provinces, ever since the acces sion of the new monarch, had already several times applied to him for favours, asking now for a pri vilege for the Roman Catholic religion, now for the introduction of the Polish language into the schools, and then for the revival of the custom of select ing the government officials from the classes of the nobility which is practised in Russia—or at least that such selection might be made for the de partment of justice. All these applications from the nobility of Podolia, Ukraine, and Volhynia, re mained just as they were, unanswered or not at tended to. This state of things in our provinces was too vexatious for endurance. The nobility of Podolia, assembled for the reception of the Czar Alexander, resolved, even at the risk of exposing themselves to persecution, loyally to lay before the monarch their present condition and their demands, and thereby ascertain to what extent they might put their trust in the new Government, or at any rate prove to Europe that, notwithstanding the systematic per secution that has been carried on against them, their nationality still exists, and at the same time show the government that all their persecution was in vain. Accordingly, on the two days preceding the ar rival of the Czar; an address was prepared to the following effect:- 1. The Polish nobility, taking the opportunity of the honour conferred on them by the Czar in visit ing them, consider it their first duty to give him thanks for the permission granted to them to free their serfs. 2. The Polish nobility, being convinced that the object of the Czar's tour in the various provinces and countries . subject to his sceptre is to learn with ace•aracy the wants of their inhabitants, and by satisfying them to increase the happiness of all, have no hesitation in unveiling before him the wounds of their hearts, and submitting to him the following facts : The man Catholic religion is not permitted to enjoy her rights and privileges. The national Polish language is bsnished from the schools and the courts ofjustice, and debarred of the title of a living language. Offices which, according to law, should be held by nominees of the nobility, are filled by nominees of the crown. An address to this effect having been prepared, it remained to settle the mode •f its presentation. It was determined by the majority that, in the first place, the governor of our province, General Prince Vasilczykow, should be officially informed by the presidents of districts, with the president of the province at their head, of the intended address. It was read by the governor, who appeared much dis concerted, and tried to prove that the Catholic reli gion was no longer persecuted, that our remarks on the language were uncalled for, Podolia being a Russian country, and.that it was his intention to submit that in fature the government officials might be selected by the nobles ; but he urged with prayers, and even threats, that the address might not be presented. Three hours after this inter view (on the 13th of October) the Czar entered Kamieniec. In the hall of the governor's palace were waiting the nobility and the civil and mili tary officers ; hut the Czar passed the palace, and proceeded direct to the Greek church, where the bishop and clergy were ready to . receive him. On his return from the church the Czar found the persons assembled in the hall of the governor's palace expecting him with anxiety. Here the go vernor, contrary to custom, placed them so that the Czar first saluted the military, next the civil officers and the nobility last. Addressing the nobility, he thanked them for the assistance in their affair of the serfs, and expressed a hope that they would con tinuo in that course. Our presidents not thinking it right to present an address in public, resolved to ask for a private audience on the following day. The presentation went off as all official presentations usually do, and then the Czar retired into too rooms assigned to him in the governor's house. This took place between six and seven in the evening. The town was lighted up by the police, and groups of Jews filled the streets. At 10 the Czar attended a ball given in his honour by the nobility. All went on as usual until the Czar left ; then the governor assembled round him, in one of the rooms, the pre sident of the province and those of the districts and a few of the nobility. and in a sharp and dry tone addressed them as follows :—" The address which you have resolved to present, gentlemen, is illegal. You have only the right to present addresses from the assembly elected by you, and the elections have not begun. You cannot, and I presume will not , gentlemen, present this address ?" added he in an in terrogatory tone. This query was received in silence, and he continued, concealing his anger— " You have asked me for an nudism's° of the Czar ; you will have it at 10 o'clock in the morning. You have been granted it, only to give you au oppor tunity to thank his Imperial Majesty for accepting lour ball ; thank him, and say no more." On eaving them, ho tried once more to shake the reso lution of the nobility by saying, " You have an opportunity of presenting your petition now, and to-morrow it will be too late. I shall tell his Majesty the purport of your address, and he will not receive it. Next morning, at ten, the presidents had an audience of the Czar. The monarch greeted them with a penetrating glance, and reading, doubtless, in their countenances an inflexible resolve, com menced, in a voice trembling with emotion, the following conversation :—" When do your elections take place ?" " To-morrow, your Majesty." "I know you intend to present mo an address, but your consultations are illegal. This is a conspiracy. Do not forget this is a Russian, not a Polish country; and remember that it is a hundredfold more pleasant to me to give praises and thanks than to blame." About four o'oclock the same day the Czar left Kamisnicc. The sensation created by this event was at first one of confusion, but it very soon became one of joy ; for all were glad that at length they had extricated themselves from the uncertain posi tion in which the country was placed on the one hand by the retention of the old system among us, and on the other by the changes which were reported to have tdken place in Russia, and the graciousness of the Czar to individuals. The event which had just happened opened the eyes of all. We showed ourselves as we are, and the Czar proved that he had not swerved one whit from the road he had traced out in the manifesto he published at his accession ; that he had softened the working of the system, but (at least with regard to us) had not clanged its nature. The more respectable of the Russians, not under standing our position, on seeing the turn things had taken, came to us with xpressions of condolence. 'f hey did not perceive that our object was either re form or an open publication of our grievances, and consequent relief from our state of uncertainty, and that we had attained the latter. At the meet.ng between the South-Eastern and East Kent lines, yesterday, a proposition was made by thu former company, after a lengthened discussion, that the East Kent directors should off r to lease their line to the South-Easter n at a fixed annual rental for a period of years. The East Kent Board will consequently meet on Friday to take the suggestion into consideration, but the expectations as to any result do not appear to be san guine. LIVERPOOL, Dee. 7.—The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steam-ship Company's screw-steamer City of Washington sailed this morning at half-past vino o'clock, fo*New York, with a mail, 190 passengers, and a large cargo of general merchandise. ~ e.wn.a. ~ ~, V~ THE SMITHFIELD CLUB DINNER. The annual dinner of the Smithfield Cattle Club took place last evening, at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, when about 100 gentlemen connected with the agricultural interest assembled. Lord Berners, one of the vice-presidents, in the absence of the noble president, the Duke of Rich mond, occupied. the chair, and was supported by the Earl of Feversham, Lord William Lennox, Mr. Alderman Mechi, Mr. Upcher, Mr. Milvvard, Mr. B. E. Bennett, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, Mr. Jonas Webb, Professor Simmonds, Mr. Rigdon, Mr. R. W. Baker, Mr. Tuxford, Mr. Quartly, Mr. C. Stokes, Mr. Corbet, Mr. J. Hud son, &c. The noble CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The Health of the Queen," expressed his regret at the unavoid able absence of the Duke of Richmond, who was unable to leave the Militia regiment of which he was colonel, now stationed in Scot land. The state of his Grace's health also at this moment prevented him undertaking the journey. The health of the Queen was responded to in the truly loyal style of the English yeo - manry. The next toast was " His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, as the Patron of English Agricul ture, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," which was responded to with great ap- plane. Lord BERNERS next proposed " The Army and Navy," and said this toast was peculiarly interesting at the present moment, when they were about to have an addition to their regular army in the shape of that old constitutional force which he remem __pored when a boy, the old English volunteers. They were now establishing volunteer rifle corps through out the kingdom. (Hear.) He (the noble chairman) most cordially approved of that movement, not be cause he believed that illustrious man who presided over the destinies of France had the slightest idea of his own free will ever to invade this country — (hear)—but he might be placed in a position which, to a certain extent, might render him a creature of circumstances. (Hear, hear.) When, however, it was recollected that the Emperor of the French had a standing army of from 500,000 to 700,000 men, flushed with victory, and that there was a feeling on the part of some of the officers of that army to wipe off that which, they had considered as a stain upon them, hence there might be a war forced upon our ally. At the same time there were large num bers of the French people connected with agricul ture and commerce who knew that nothing could be so detrimental to the interest of their nation as a war with this country. (Hear, hear.) At all events it was quite proper that this great country should not be in a position to be dependent upon the will or caprice of any single individual will or nation. (Hear.) The rifle corps movement was, therefore, most essential, and he believed the same feeling which animated the breasts of their old volunteers pervaded the feelings of the people of England at the present day. He was quite sure that in that movement the farmers of England would take a prominent part. Although an inva sion of this country might produce much mischief, still he knew that the farmers of England had sturdy hearts and strong arms, and that, let the attempt be made, they would be sure to repel the invader. (Cheers.) He begged to couple with the toast the name of Lord William Lennox. (Renewed applause.) Lord WILLIAM LENNOX responded to the toast, and said he did not partake of the panic of the four merchants of Liverpool. (Laughter.) Ho believed, as long as the ocean divided us, and so long as the Englis nation were determined to stand up in de fence of our Queen, cur laws, and our homesteads, so long they had no grounds to fear an invasion of this country. (Cheers.) The noble CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Smith field Cattle Club," and success to it. It was now nearly 30 years since he (Lord Berners) had been a member of the club, and he had paid much attention to its progress. He was confident, not withstanding the cavils which had been raised at times against the club, that the Smithfield Club had been of the greatest benefit to the country at large. (Hear.) Its objects had been carried out in producing the best animal food in the largest pos sible quantity for the people,in producing the greatest quantity of meat at the smallest cost. (Hear,) The Smithfield Cattle Club was established in 1798, or 61 years ago. It was then very small in its numbers, and was held in a very humble position in Goswell street. Some 20 years ago, the show of the club was removed to Baker-street, and at that time the proprietor of the bazaar gave the club £3OO a-year. So far as the Smithfield Club was concerned, there was quite a unique principle introduced, which, in stead of making the club pay for its accommo dation for the show, the club were themselves paid for it. Instead, therefore, of receiving 1300, the club now received £7OO. The non members of the society who exhibit stock pay £ll5 a year. The implement department paid them £740, and the steam-engine exhibitors £5O. The divi dend on their funded stock produced £56, and the subscriptions £235. Their invested capital was £2,009, and at the present time they had 364 mem bers. The number of entries for live stock during the present year were 365. The sums awarded for prizes for cattle and other stock was £950, and in medals £ll4, or in rough numbers, £l,lOO. He mentioned these facts to show the progress of the club, and when they procured, as he hoped and be lieved they should do, a better space for their show, he had no doubt but it would progress in a far greater proportion. There could be no doubt that they ought to have a show yard, which would pre vent the public being so crowded as they had been, and give more room for the implements, which were a very important department of the show. When this was accomplished he had no doubt but the Smithfield Club would advance by rapid stri'. 3 Les to further prosperity. (Loud applause, the midst of which the toast was drunk.) Mr. Tours, the vice-chairraP Ll, of the noble President k:s proposed the health Grace the Duke of Rich mond," which was enthusiastically received. Lord Wm. LENNox responded ou behalf of his noble brother, and assured the company that no thing but public duty would have kept him from =Aug them that day. The various gold medals were then distributed, and the healths of the successful competitors pro posed and drunk, Mr. RIGDEN, of Hove, near Brighton, in returning thanks as the winner of the gold medal in the South down classes, said he had that year had the good for tune to redeem his promise in beating the Duke of Richmond's specimen of Southdowns. His Grace had, however, beaten him for three years in succes sion previously, and he hoped it was now his turn to beat their noble President for the name number of years. (Cheers and laughter.) It should not be his fault if he did not do so. (Cheers.) The healths of the judges, the stewards, and that of Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, the secretary, were pro posed and duly responded to, and the evening's en tertainment was enlivened by the singing of the Misses Wells, Mr. Holmes, Mr. George Genge, and Mr. Edney. THE LIVERPOOL MERCIIANTS AND THE EMPEROR. The Liverpool correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says :—"The interest excited by the letter of the soi-disant Liverpool merchants to the French Emperor so far from from subsiding has rather in creased. On Tuesday the subject formed the chief topic of conversation in Liverpool, and when the metropolitan papers arrived there was a great rush for a perusal of them. As usual the French officials and journalists appear to have been totally unable to spell the names of the gentlemen in question, and as it is a pity, that any misconception should exist as to their identity, we append them in full. They are Mr. Godfrey B. Shaw, cotton broker •, Mr. Henry Gaskell, of the firm of Sleigh, Gaskell and Co. ; Mr. Frederick Irving, of the sau.e firm, produce brokers ; and Mr. Samuel Mellor, of the firm of Mellor and Southall in the Brazil trade. The general feeling locally is that of indignation at the presumption of the four,' and the opinions expressed in the metropolitan and pro vincial journals have met with the hearty sym pathy and approval of all parties on the Liverpool Exchange. As a matter of course the subject has formed the theme of several ' squibs,' and a tele gram was posted in the news-room on Tuesday to the effect that so delighted was the Emperor with the political penetration displayed by the four `merchants,' that he had invited them to take seats in the approaching Congress." Much speculation has been afloat in LiYerpool as to the reason why the original letter from the " four" has not yet seen the light. It was stated in Liverpool that the writers had not kept a copy of the document, but our correspondents were yes terday informed that the copy was in existence, but that the reason it had not been published either by the writers or by the French Government was that its terms were s.o curt and brief, that its publication would have reflected credit on neither party. We understand that, after the usual formalities of ad dress' the contents were merely " We the under signed respectfully request your Majesty to inform us what are , your intentions respecting England.— Signed, &c." The Liverpool Law Society, at their meeting yesterday, discussed the subject, and adopted the following resolution :—" That the president be requested to inform her Majesty's Attorney-General that in case it be the intention of her Majesty's Government to take any proceedings against the four Liverpool merchants who recently made a communication to the Emperor of the French, this committee will be happy to render the Attorney- General every assistance in its power." irtorlt . ,r IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY. THE TRAGEDY AT DUNGANNON. To the facts forwarded by telegraph yesterday evening the papers of this morning add but little, if any, additional information respecting the frightful tragedy at Dungannon. A paper just come to hand states that the wounds received by Mr. Mathew , the sub-inspector, have proved mortal, but this re- port requires confirmation. The name of the mur dered constable was M'Cielland, and not Matthews , as mentioned in the first accounts. Sub-inspector Mathew was quite a young man, and had not long left the depot in the Phoenix-park upon his appoint ment to Dungannon. One of the Dublin papers of td-day gives an account of the tragedy from a cor respondent in the town of Moy. but it is quite in correct in all the leading details. THE MURDER IN WESTMEATH. The following additional particulars are givetibi the correspondent of the Express : " ATHLONE, Tuesday.—An inquest was held yes terday before 'l'. It Fetherston, Esq., coroner far the county of Westmeath, on the body of Laurence Kelly, who was so brutally murdered in his own house on Saturday last. The body presented a frigbt ful appearance, the skull being literally torn open by the slugs. Sonic witnesses were examined, when a verdict of wilful murder against some persons un known was returned by the jury. The only , parti culars ascertained in addition to those contained in my despatch of yesterday were, that the deceased had taken a small farm (under ten acres) from which some persons had been dispossessed, and had only lately entered into possession. This was, no: fortunately, quite sufficient to make him a merlon man in his locality, where the atrocious Riband system prevails to a fearful extent. It appear s that a male servant was in the house at the time of the murder, as well as the woman who gave the deceased his dinner just before the shot was fired. Neither of these persons looked out or made any exertion to discover the assassin. The consta bulary were quickly in attendance, and four par sons were in custody yesterday on suspicioh, await" lag the inquest. One of those was a brother of the deceased, who was arrested because the police found in his house a gun which had been lately dischared• There was no evidence, however, to implicate any of these persons, and they were discharged after the inquest had terminated. The deceased was un married, and a man in thriving circumstances. It is to be hoped the perpetrators of this fearful crim• may be yet discovered. SYMPATHY WITH THE POPE. The following graphic sketch of the Cork demon' stration is abridged from the Constitution of yester' day : A monster meeting was held in the Court-hous e, Cork, on Monday, for the purpose of enabling the Roman Catholics of Cork to give expression to their feelings on the present situation of the Roman Nu' tiff. The hour for holding the meeting was twelve o'clock, but the building was crammed for near' , an hour previously by an immense mass of the, populace. In the body of the court were some °I the more respectable Roman Catholics ; but it wa ll remarked that some of the most influential page , of that religion were absent. The chair was taken by the Roman Catholic Bishop, Right Rev. Dr. Delany, who opened the proceedings by explaining the object of the meet ing, to express the feelings of the Roman Catholics of Ireland on the present circumstances of the Fri (Cheers.) The last occasion on which he presi e l at a meeting in that Cou r t-ho u se was upwards 10 years since, on the occasion of the Pope's ev' . at 'Gaeta. On that occasion the people of Cory came forward and expressed their sympathy Wi t! the Pontiff in his exile, and he (the Bishop) W 0 rejoiced to see that they had not lost one particle e of their religious enthusiasm for the head of ti l Church. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Mr. John Nicholas Murphy, in a speech of gr eat length, proposed the first resolution, which state(' that the Supreme Pontiff, the successor of St. pet er ' being divinely appointed for the spiritual gever, tl ; meat of the Catholic Church throughout tu f world, requires for the full and free discharg e ! I its exalted duties complete personal and polite ' independence. Mr. F. Lyons seconded the resolution. Mr. J. F. Maguire proposed the next resel it ; tion,—' That the independence of the Pope was b e preserved by the Supreme Pontiff exercising 00 1 reign power as a temporal prince, and that sa e s sovereignty, devoted as it had been to the nobl e° purposes of religion and humanify for more tbn 1,000 years, should be held sacred in the estimat,l o of every Catholic people, and preserved inviel e o f from all aggression." At the close of a speec h considerable leng th, a he said,—Who would d, for that the tempora sovereignty of the Pope W. the advantage of religion, morality, arts, and ell . lisation ? Rome had been the cradle of the el P- 0 ,1,. (Applause.) Were they to allow the teuir„d power of the Pope to be stripped from him ? applause.) Mr. Bernard Sheehan—We will fight for hi °.
