THE electors of Paris have had their field day, and have remained faithful to their old traditions. Of the candidates from whom the selection had to be made, the Parisians have chosen the most advanced Democrats and the most pronounced opponents of the existing Government to fill the four vacant seats. In the First Circumscription or electoral district M. lIENni ROCHEFORT, the lampooner of the Imperial family, the apostle of revolution, has beaten M. CARNOT, who himself is a Republican of a typo only less extreme than his successful competitor. In the Third Circumscription M. CREMIEUX, the Democrat, has triumphed by a very large majority over M. POUYER QUERTIER, the moderate politician and oppponent of Free Trade. In the Fourth Circumscription the election remains indecisive, for it is a rule in France that the successful candidate must receive at least one more than half the whole number of votes polled; and in this district none of the four aspirants has reached the required figure. But the choice lies only between Republicans ofdifferent shades. In the fourth district in which there is a vacancy—the Eighth—M. ARAG 0, an advanced Radical, has left his opponent " nowhere." It is not easy to appreciate the reasons which induce the Times and other staunch advocates of Imperialism to congratulate the French Govern ment on this result. It is true that a little while ago a movement was set on foot to still more strongly express animosity to the EMPEROR by returning' four depu ties who would refuse to take the oath of allegiance. It is equally true that this.r,cherne has utterly col lapsed. Of the four non-juring candidates only one, ROCHEFORT, has been elected. But this projt_cLed sliew of hatred broke down because it was clearly the Paris mob, that it would end perceived, even by of impotence, because it was, inn ashort, ridiculousn Ipr a d c i display able. The four non-jurors have not been returned because three o f them retired from the contest, awl the fourth, AL.RocHEFo ET , g ave up the idea of refusing the oath. To sa y " that the Most violent partisans have been set .aside and the moderate Democrats elected," is, therefore, ehnr nonsettee. The Paris electore have THL SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1869 chosen the most extreme representatives they could find. There has been no evidence either of moderation or reaction. The voters might have given their suffrages to M. POUYER-QUERTIEII, the Protectionist, but they preferred a Republican by two to one. They had it in their] power to reject the violent ROCHEFORT, and to ex press some sort of moderate feeling by electing M. CARNOT. But of these two extremes they have chosen the most uncompromising. Whether it counts for little or much, there can be no doubt that between the EMPEROR and the inhabitants of his capital there exists the most hopeless antagonism. Another feature in these elections is deserving of notice. Notwithstanding the fierce passions which have been aroused, notwithstanding that this choice of deputies has in some measure amounted to a declaration of civil war, the actual voting :has passed off with the most perfect order. So it mostly happens in France. The electors are warm enough during the period of canvassing, but they record their votes with the utmost calmness. Seldom or never have we in England such a display of ferment as that which preceded this contest in Paris. • But never have we such quiet days of voting as Sun day and Monday last in the French capital. _ _ At an early hour on Sunday morning the ballot boxes were opened in numerous suitable places, and the voting papers were dropped in until dusk. Then the boxes were sealed up, put away, and brought out again the next morning. On the evening of the second day the result is made known. Sometimes the electors wax angry if an unpopular candidate be chosen, but there is never any distur bance during the progress of the voting. Surely some praise is due to the Ballot as the means by which this result is brought about. Secret voting in France prevents one man from knowing how his neighbour votes, and it withholds the state of the poll until the last bulletin has been tendered. Here we have the whole secret of electoral purity. There can be no doubt that in some most important respects the French elections are much more creditably conducted than ours. Bribery is almost entirely unknown, there is no baneful farce like our own nomination, and. though the public meetings previously to the voting are lively enough, the day of election passes over quietly. These are features which we in England might profitably imitate. AFTER the question whether the Fenian prisoners should be released, the question whether the Fenian press should be extinguished presents itself as the most pressing feature of Irish politics. The " national " papers do, indeed, seem to merit the atten tion of the Government. Even in a land where :the most complete liberty of the subject is the basis of the constitution, there must be some limit to the propagation of seditious appeals. Nothing can he more regular or systematic than the treason of the Fenian press. Week after week the Irish public is greeted, not with appeals for reform—the redress of the land grievance, or the setting up of a better system of education, but with direct exhortations to revolt. The efforts of the present Government to pacify Ireland are treated with scorn. The disestablishment of the Irish Church, the reform of land tenure, and all other improvements, past and present, are looked upon as the effect, not of mercy, but of fear. Only one concession can secure the favour of the People of Ireland and its confreres : Ireland must be handed over to the Irish. The oppressors are not disposed to go this length, and therefore the patriots are resolved to secure independence by force. They exhort each other to arm, to organise, to drill, to be watchful and ready. Their appeals are not mere vague rant. Systematic calculations of the chances of insurrection are, as we have seen, put forth without hesitation. Beyond doubt it is in the power of the Government to punish the authors of these incentives to revolt. To publish exhortations in favour of forcibly overturning the sovereign power is as much a crime as to actually take up arms ; and recent history is not wanting in examples which go to prove that the former is sometimes the more dangerous treason of the two. These Irish papers are very largely circulated, and the fact that they have so many readers proves that they have also a certain proportion of admirers. The Fenian press is evidently a more or less pernicious .nuisance, and it may become—perhaps it has become—absolutely necessary to remove it, like any other nuisance. But the intervention of the law will be none the less deplorable. It will be far preferable if the Government can pursue the even tenour of its way, give Ireland all that it ought to have, and finally complete the attempt to win the affections of the people by conciliation. The Irish Church Act has had an undeniably good effect, the Land Bill may do something more, and the full redress of real Irish grievances may finally ap pease discontent. The condition of the country is yet far from satisfactory ; but it is equally far from being hopeless. Instances are few, indeed, where the Government which honestly met the just demands of its people did not thereby secure their loyalty. Nothing could be more apparently hopeless than the disaffection in Hungary previously to the war of 1806. Now Hungary is the corner-stone of the Austrian Empire. France is another case in point. There the concession of liberty to the press was followed by the institution of three or four treason-preaching journals; but the violence of these papers has sen sibly moderated the tone of the old Opposition press. It will be decidedly better if the British Government can avoid converting these patriots into martyrs, at all events until Irish legis lation is complete. The Government can take action whenever it chooses, but having once commenced press prosecutions, there can be no drawing back. But it is quite likely that further toleration may I soon become impossible. The City Editor of the Times considers the weekly record of his work incomplete if without a remark on the remittances of Bonds from the United States in payment for the excessive importations from Europe. But he has at last got to the length of acknowledging that Americans do not send these Bonds to Europe for nothing, so he bas begun to consider what they get in exchange. If the com modity in return be equal in annual productive power to the amount of interest they have agreed to pay for it, no injury is done to either party ; but if the received consignment be of silks, wines, or other perishable or consummable articles of luxury, the dead weight of annual interest in gold, or its equivalent, would remain unrelieved for all time. Were the return employed in the construction of profitable railways, or other public works, or in the importation of labour, the result from augmented production, " might (he says) not merely compen sate for the payments to be made, but yield a con stan.ly increasing surplus. It is for those who are interested, either as investors or otherwise, to form their own opinion as to the degree in which these several modes prevail." It is very kind of the City Editor to take so lively an interest in his transat lantic friends, but it is just possible that they may understand better than he can tell them how to take care of themselves. lle starts by asserting that the United States Government must remit to Europe the interest on the coupons of Bonds in foreign bands, which, if not thug sold, would have Leen payable to. parties at home. The Government does not remit. toil, for the coupons whether of bonds abroad or nt lion are alike }:resented for payin,..nt ht the :ut y in the United States. Though, vir tually, the result may be the s•ime, we desire accuracy, that ill-informed bondholders may not be misled. They receive the impression that their debtors are individual A Incricans, into whose transactions it is advisable that they should pry, as doubts are thrown - on their solvency. We have repeatedly pointed out the injustice and folly of thus discussing the sub ject. American families may drink the most ex en,sive wines and dress in the most costly silks ; they may be unable to meet these extravagances, and eventually be landed in bankruptcy; there . may be thousands of such cases, but what has this to do with the bondholder ? lie is not the creditor of these individuals, but of the nation ; and the ques tion for him is, Whether the nation is solvent and likely hereafter to be able to meet its debts ? Re cognizing this truth, the inquiry is easily answered. There is no nation whose progress in material wealth can be compared with that of the United States ; it is, indeed, a surprise to the Americans themselves. We will grant all that can be said on the other side ; the corruption, bad fiscal laws, the spirit of gambling, the decay of the mercantile marine, the discussion of repudiation, the injurious effects of an inconvertible paper currency ; yet, in spite of whatever truth may be contained in these objections, the advance of the country in wealth is something startling. Immigration is received at ' the rate of 1,000 persons daily, States grow rapidly from unfledged Territories, railroads so ramify as to mice it impossible to keep the tracing in the mind, the product of the precious metals yearly increases, but the most surprising event is the recupera tion of the Southern States at this moment, which are, or very soon will be, far richer than ever. The flow of money there is such as these States never witnessed before, and its distribution is so general as greatly to enhance the value of this tide of pros perity. It is asserted that after ten years' trial, stimulated by all most calculated to spur it into activity, the world has failed to make such a cotton ground of any other country, hence it is compelled to look again to the old source and accept the staple a, double the price paid before the war. Here, then, is cotton resuming the throne, with the know ledge implanted in all that the throne, even when vacant, could not be filled elsewhere ; and to re trieve the enormous losses sustained the South re produces as much as ever, but levies twice the sum for the crop. if that trade made the South so pros perous up to 1860 is it not likely, under the pre sent favourable circumstances, speedily to restore to wealth the devastated country? In this alone the United States are much more than compen sated for the outflow of the bonds ; and in itself it answers the question of the Times. But the sale of the bonds to foreigners has an effect hitherto little noticed, which daily becomes more marked. The United States are a gold and silver producing coun try ; these metals are raised as is coal or cotton, and if they be not exported in quantities equal to the production, a balance must accumulate in the Union. That coin is accumulating is shown by the fall in gold. Bonds are exported instead of specie, because the creditors prefer the Bonds, therefore the coin re mains, and the consequence is a gradual approxima tion to an equalisation in value between it and the paner currency, which, rendered into other words, means a return to specie payments. The wisdom may be doubted of this perpetual harping of the City Editor on such a string. Does he desire to check the export trade of Europe to America ? Is there not distress and famine enough from want of em ployment in the great city wherein he lives with out throwing the weight of the Times into the scale against the work supplied by England's best cus tomer? If the Republic, during a period of tempo rary depression, lives up to the accustomed scale, maintaining its wants and refinements, in the full view of ample means of payment being supplied by the growing industries around, is it not well, and a subject for congratulation to England and France ? Suppose the reverse to be the case ; that in the day of depression all the luxuries, the tastes generated in a more prosperous period were discarded ; that the men ceased to drink fine wines, to value pic tures and objects of art; that the women no longer purchased silks, laces, and jewellery ; while the in creasing export of grain, and the growing magni tude of the cotton crop, turned the balance heavily against Europe, what would be the result? Tastes lost are not easily reacquired. It is not every wo man who understands how to dress, and but few men can truly appreciate a picture, or even the flavour of a delicate wine. These may be useless luxuries but useless to American purchasers, not to European sellers, and American journals might fitly urge their readers to dispense with such super fluities. But the case differs widely as regards the leading paper on this side, which appears to advocate the retrenchment from which, though France would suffer most, both those nations would suffer much. Breadatuffs could not be imported if America ceased to be a free buyer in Europe, for they could not be paid for, and while European industries languished, as the bread would not cross the ocean to the people here, they would have to go to the bread in Ame rica. Both the attractive and the ejective powers being increased, emigration could not fail to be enlarged in a corresponding degree ; so its direct effect would surely be to drive Englishmen out of England. It is impossible for the Times to discuss this subject without insinuating something against the credit of the United States. It seems never to weary of its platitudes ; of taking up and repeating as new matters settled by the nation, and worn threadbare by discussion. "At the same time it is always necessary to recollect that people who aro liable for a debt are apt to complain of its burden while they entirely forget the benefits it may have brought to them, and that an annual heavy pay ment to foreigners has a much more dangerous element of unpopularity than would exist in the case of a liability held exclusively at home," Those not aware of the value of reiteration might wonder why these words should be repeated for the u e a t i nd n s , but to speak of thousandth time ; but, in truth, they do contain the point cf all the Times has to say. To speak of the silk worn and the wine consumed by individuals as a reason for casting doubts on the repayment of the besidebthoendNsaistiownhaollplyebtin foreign the question, o hands as being an ad ' ditional inducement to repudiate, is another thing. Had not the Republic been again and again tested on this point, had it not been tried at the ballot box, in Congress, in the Executive, and fully dis cussed in the press, it might form grave matter for the consideration of the purchasers of the bonds. But the writer well knew that in the United States the question had been decided. Now it is of this we complain, that in the Times, as well as in the numberless little journals which slavishly follow its lead and accept all its statements as facts, the circum stancesshould be systematically misrepresented. The writer knows that the mass of those he addresses are ignorantof the subject, but instead of endeavour ing to enlighten that iznorance, he avails himself of it to injure the credit of a nation he detests. It may, however, be worth his while to consider whe ther in the process he may not be doing a greater injury to his own country, and more so still to the journal whose columns he thus usese—Anglo-Ame rican Times. ROBBERY OF PLATE.-HEAVY SE TENCE. At the Central Criminal Court George Stephen Smith, 30, and Walter Smith, 18, brothers, were indicted for stealing a soup tureen, and other articles of silver plate value £250. The younger prisoner was a manservant in the service of Mr.Bonstead, of Craven-street,who was entrusted by a Miss Wright with a box containing a large quantity of silver plate for safe custody. The box, it appeared, was kept in the prissner's pantry, and it was returned to Miss Wright in October last, when it was discovered that the greater part of the plate had been abstracted. Inquiries were instituted, which led to the apprehension of Walter Smith, and he made a statement admitting his guilt, and inculpating his brother, who was a clerk out of employment. Evidence was given to show that the elder prisoner had endeavoured to dispose of a silver tureen, which was part of the stolen property, and the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of guilty. The Commissioner said there was no doubt the crime had been committed at the instigation of George Stephen Smith, and sentenced him to fourteen years' penal servitude. The ether prisoner was sentenced to five years' penal ser vitude. 7'l!'o A CCIDENT'S SIHULTANEOUSLY THE NORM BRITISH RAILWAY. A collision took place on the North British Railway at Illerningside shortly before eight o'clock on Tuesday morn ing. The line is a single one. At twenty minutes to eight a passenger train had just left Morningside, and got about 200 yards, when it was run into by a mineral train that had passed the previous station with out stopping, as it should have done. The driver of the passenger train saw that the collision was inevi table and reversed his engine, and thus lessened the shock. The collision, however, knocked him off the engine, and the fireman having jumped off, the reversed engine drove the train back through Morningside Station on to the Caledonian line. The guard was stunned, and it was some time before he could put on the brakes and stop the train. Six or seven passengers were much injured, but no one was killed. It was feared that the train would be run into by a train due on the Caledonian system, but that train was delayed by another accident which had happened at Garringill Junction. By some means a mineral train had got into its way at that junction, and at 7.10 the limited mail from London dashed into it. No ono was much hurt, but the mineral train was smashed to pieces, and the mail train detained. Garringill is only three or four miles from Morningside. The morning was foggy. MORE BETTING CASES. At the Marlborough-street Police-court, on Tuesday, George Matkins, coffee-house keeper, of North-row, Grosvenor-square, was summoned for using a house, the Clarendon Arms, kept by Mr. Holmes, for the pur pose of betting ; and Mr. Holmes was also summoned for permitting the house to be used for betting purposes. Police-constable Littlechild, 46 X R, said that he went to the Clarendon Arms, kept by a person named Holmes. There was an ordinary partition in the bar, a part being divided off so as to make it a private bar It was about a quarter to twelve in the day time. 3latkins was in the private bar, and there was a man assisting him, and as men came in the man handed them a card, and communicated with Matkins. The card had on it the prices against the horses marked in pencil, and he saw Matkins make entries in a book, and saw something passed to Matkins. He heard a person named Mills ask Matliins what were the odds against Rosicrucian for the Cambridgeshire Stakes, but he did not hear the answer, and he had been to the house before and seen Mat kins there on two or three occasions in the day-time, but not in the evening. The man he spoke of was not always with Matkins. Sometimes he went outside. He went on another occasion, Mills being in his company. and ➢latkins was there with his book in his hand, and persons came in and spoke to Matkins or his assistant. He heard Matkins say, " Five to one against the field." He saw Matkins make several entries in a red book. The card shelved the names and prices of the horses for the Cambridgeshire Stakes. He asked Matkins what he would give against Rosicrucian to win and for a place in the Cambridgeshire Stakes. John Mills gave evidence, showing that betting was carried on I,y Matkins at the Clarendon Arms. Mr. Beard 'wished to take the magistrate's opinion whether, as a point of law, it was intended by the Legisla ture that tradesmen who went into a neighbour's house and made a trifling bet or two were to be held liable under the Act ? There was no evidence to shew that the money taken had any reference to horse racing. He was in structed that the defendant had only gone into the house for ordinary purposes, and while there had in dulged in making a bet or two of a trifling character—a proceeding that it was never intended by the Legislature should subject him to the penal consequences of this statute. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that the Act made it an offence to use the house as a place for betting purposes. When it was proved that a person was found betting with persons who resorted to a house, he could not escape from the conclusion that the person so acting was using the place for the purpose cf betting. Mr. Biron said Matkins had been fined £3O for keeping a betting-house. Mr. Tyrwhitt would say it was very well to talk about Tattersall.'s and the way great bets were made there; but if fools could be found to risk their fortunes in that way, it was their own doing. In these betting-houses there was a temptation held out to poor men to engage in gambling, and the pursuit sometimes became so bewitching as to induce small gamblers to rob their masters and their tills. It was to prevent such doings that the Act was framed and passed. If men in higher stations were such fools as to throw away their fortunes on horse-racing, that did not make them robbers or thieves. With poor men, if they did not actually steal from others they robbed their families. He must inflict the penalty of £5O in each case, or three months with hard labour. William Holmes, the landlord of the Clarendon Arms, North-row, was then summoned for permitting his house to be used for the purposes of betting. Mr. Beard said that, after the conviction in the previous case, he thought the summons might be withdrawn if the defendant gave a promise that nothing of the kind should take place in his house again. Mr. Biron would suggest that there should be an ad journment for three months, to see how the defendant conducted his house in the meantime. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in consenting to the adjournment, said there must not be complaints against the defendant's house of any kind whatever. Henry Bowen, of Hartland-road, Kentish Town, was charged with causing an obstruction for the purposes of betting. The case having been proved, Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 40s. or a month. DEMAND OF _MINERS FOIL AN ADVANCE.—The Amalgamated Miners' Association of Lancashire, Cheshire, and North Wales, have sent the following circular to their employers :--" Having respectfully requested you to give us an advance of wages on the 20th September last, and not meeting then with a satisfactory reply, notice is hereby given that we demand an advance of wages on or before the 13th December next, equal to the amount that ye were last reduced. If such advance be not given to le, we shall feel in duty bound to use every lawful means in our power to secure the same. We are, on behalf of the miners in your employ," &c. The reduction referred to in the above circular amounted to from 10 to 15 per cent. The number of men who are likely to be affected by the circular is about 20,000. THE TRAFALGAR -SQUARE MEETINGS. -At the last meeting of the vestry of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields the clerk read a letter from the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, stating that the Government c€ uld not interfere with the processions and meetings held in Trafalgar-square, as they were not illegal in themselves. The Rcv W. Humphrey, the vicar, said that the afternoon services at the church had to be stopped in consequence of the late Fenian gathering in Trafalgar-square, as there was so much noise arising from the shouting of the people and the playing of the bands of music. After some discussion it was resolved that if in future there was any attempt to Indd meetings, especially objectionable in Trafalgar ,quare on Sunday, the attention of Parliament should be called to the matter. THE FEEEMASONS.—A meeting of the Grand r.t,dge is t. be held at Freemasons' Hall on Wednesday - : - t, fr,ler to prcee.ed with the nomination of a Grand - Kfts;ter room cf Earl of Zetland.

In Lord Penzance's Chambers, the case of " Mordaunt v. Mordaunt and Cole" was mentioned, and, from what Len transpired, it seems that the cause will without doubt be tried, Serjcant Ballantine and Mr. Inderwick appeared for Sir Charles Mordaunt, and the former said that when the case was last before his lordship, an order was made that certain medical men should see Lady Mordaunt. He had now to apply that two other medical men, Dr. Winslow and Dr. Tyler Smith should also be at liberty to see her. Mr. Searle, the counsel on the other side, said : I leave the matter entirely in the hands of the court. _ _ Serjeant Ballantine would wish that the order shoulet be so framed that the medical gentlemen should be at liberty to see the lady at any time. Lord Penzance should say that it would be sufficient if the medical gentlemen saw Lady Mordaunt twice, and, of course, at a reasonable time. Just before he rose last term Dr. Gull wrote, saying that he was not certain whether he should be justilledwithout a license or the order of the court in taking care of Lady Mordaunt. He had made no such order, but had suggested that two gentlemen should be called in to See Lady Merdaunt and give their opinion. Serjeant Ballantine said that his side felt certain the respondent was sane ; but they were not certain she would remain so if the i resent system of espionage was carried Lord Penzance : If that is so, it would be better to alter the system. His lordship then said that the order would be drawn up so that Drs. "Winslow and Tyler Smith should see the lady twice, and at reasonable hours. INCENDItiIIISM. This (Wednesday) morning Captain Shaw re ported to the Board of Works, that during the last 21 hours, up to six o'clock a.m., the firemen had been called out twice during that time—one was the work of some diabolical incendiary. it ap pears that a mounted police•officer was patrolling hisbeat at Stoke Ne wington, when he discovered that a rick of hay was on fire in several places, clearly showing that it had been wilfully ignited. The rick consisted of forty loads, and was standing in Clissball-park. The land steamers promptly at tended, and were at once set to work from a pond of water. The firemen laboured incessantly for nearly a couple of hours before they could get the flames subdued. The police having been apprised of the dastardly outrage they are in pursuit of the guilty persons, and they are sanguine of being able to apprehend them. Mr. Brampton, the butcher, and owner of the rick, it is understood, was insured in the Atlas Fire-office. Dlias llie De Vere the talented young actress, whose charming and lively impersmations of Dot we bail occasion to notice i n high terms during Mr. J. L .

In the Court of Queen's Bench, Mr. Watkin Williams showed cause against a rule granted in the case of " The Queen v. Wells." The Solicitor-General appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Watkin Williams said he was instructed, on behalf of Mr. Wells, to express his deep regret to Lord Radnor for the appearance in his paper, the Salis bury Times, of a libel on his lordship. The libel was contained in an article commenting on the committal of children to prison for stealing greens, by a bench of magis trates presided over by Lord Radnor, and some very strong expressions were used. The Lord Chief Justice said there were also observations going far beyond the case which gave rise to the article. The Lord Chief Justice observed that the principal charge was that not only in the particular case but in others Lord Radnor was stated to be guilty of habitual incivility to an extent that rendered him unfit to act as a magistrate for the county. Was the defendant prepared to admit that there was no foundation for these charges against Lord Radnor in respect of his general conduct as a magistrate ? Mr. Williams said his client wished to make every reparation in his power. Ho was not cognizant at the time of the article, which was written by the sub-editar, who had reported the proceedings; Mr. Wells had inserted an apology in his paper. The apology was read. Mr. Williams was instructed to say there was no ground whatever for these imputations. The Solicitor-General said of course Lord Radnor naa no object in proceeding against a particular individual• His only desire was to vindicate his character, and what had been said having been withdrawn by the learned counsel, The Lord Chief Justice wished the defendant had said as much in his newspaper as had been said by his learned counsel. _ The Solicitor-General said be confined himself to the apology by the mouth of his learned friend. As, however, regret had been expressed, he did not think it would be becoming on the part of Earl Radnor to press for further proceedings. He trusted, however, that if the rule was discharged, the defendant would have to pay the costs. The Lord Chief Justice said of course that would be so. The rule was accordingly discharged. THE WALSALL ROBBERY ROMANCE. The youth Simpson, who with another youth named Samuel Thompson was recently apprehended at Birken head, was brought up at the Walsall Police-court on Monday. Ho was charged in conjunction with Thompson, with stealing from the office of Messrs. Duignan, Lewis, and Lewis, on the 15th of October, a bank draft for £670, bank notes to the value of £135, and £135 in gold. Thompson was a clerk in the prosecutors' office. On Saturday week he was absent from business; and, on inquiries being made, it was found that he had gone away and could not be traced. Later on, however, it was found that he and the prisoner were in London, and on Monday the prisoner's father, who had in the meanwhile pro ceeded thither, ascertained that his son and Thompson had engaged their passage for Australia in a vessel which was then lading in the dock. Soon afterwards the prisoner and his companion went to the shipbroker's office, and learning that Mr. Simpson had been in quiring after them they decamped, and it would be found, at once proceeded to the neighbourhood of Liver pool. On Friday night they were arrested at Birkenhead by the police, as they were attempting to go over to Liver pool. On being brought upon the landing stage one of the pri soners put his hand into his pocket, and taking out a pocket book threw it into the river. He afterwards admitted that this book contained a considerable sum in gold and notes. He also attempted to throw something else into the river, but the policeman in charge managed to frustrate the attempt, and found that what the youth had tried to throw into the water was a letter which he had addressed to his father in Wallsall, intending it to pass through the hands of a relative in Kidderminster. In a book in a coat or cape of Thompson's, secured after his arrest, was found a detailed account of all the notes and gold stolen from Messrs. Duignan and Lewis, and in the account opposite the entry of a £2O note of the Dudley and West Bromwich Bank, and a £5 note, was written in each instance "H. B. and Co., Oct. 23, 1869." There were also entries of 130, with a small "s" above, and 10 with a small " h " above—the one signifying 130 sovereigns, and the other ten half-sovereigns, the number stolen. The book also contained a statement, shelving haw the money was to be expended. The subjoined is a copy of the letter referred to above. The advertisement at the outset has been cut frem the Telegraph, and pasted upon the paper upon which the letter was written : Friday, 1839.—Walsall. —T. W. S.—Tom, dear boy, for our sake and your own, write, or return at once. I had gone back home." "My dear papa,—l saw your advertisement in the Telegraph, and send this letter in answer to it. We arc all safe, and quite well. I hope you are all well. Don't let Cater get hold of this, as he may try and trace us by it. If you got our luggage you will find a box in the square basket. There are the same letters in it. Give them to Priss. She will know what to do with them. No one is to read them. They have nothing to do with this. Don't you try to trace us by letter, as we shall be gone, and shall take particular care so that we cannot be traced. I have sent it through Aunt Betsey, so that the envelope may not fall into the hands of Duignan's folks. Sam sends his love to his mama and sisters, and says he is quite well, and they arc not to put themselves about. You are not to let Cater know any more than you possibly can. It is a good job you made that mistake in London. Keep Farlie safe. We shall write again soon. We have seen to-day's Post ; it has given us a hint or two. Don't put yourself to any more expense, as it will be no good. All will come right in time. Give my love to mama, Priss, Sc.—l remain your affectionate son, " T. W. SIMPSON." A remand_was granted. DEATH OF A CHILD FROM EATING CHRYSAN THEmums.—On Tuesday Mr. R. Blagden, the coroner, held an inquest at the Lamb Hotel, Westbourno, on the body of a child named Eliza Pelter, who was poisoned by eating a number of chrysanthemum blooms, which had been given to her at school. The Borsen-Zeitung states that Messrs. Grattoni and Brassey, and Dr. Strousberg have jointly undertaken to tunnel the St. Gotthard, and have engaged to complete the gigantic undert 'king in less than seven years. The news, though not yet confirmed, is far from being improbable. THE NEW G.C.B.—It is announced in the Gazette that Mr. Elliot, the British Ambassador at Constantinople is to receive the distinction of G.C.B. Official notice is also given of the vacancy in the representation of Chester, consequent upon the elevation of Earl Grosvenor to the peernge. Before Kean was twelve, he figured among the infant imps whom John Keniblo introduced around the witches' caldron in Macbeth. There his love of mischief induced him to trip up the heels of his companions so that they rolled on the stage, in a heap, amid the laughter of the audience. When Kemble, in his dignified way, reproved him, Kean penitently begged the manager to consider that ho had never appeared in tragedy before. THE PUBLIC lIEALTH.—There was a very high rate of mortality in London last week. It was 31 per 1,000, while the rate in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom was 30. The births registered in the metropolis were 2,185, and the deaths 1859. The latter exceeded by 293 the estimated number, and were 170 higher than those of the previous week. Scarlet fever was not qUite so fatal as in the preceding seven days, the (greatest j Mortality having been amongst the aged.

Throughout the passage from the station to the Pitti Palace the King was warm l y cheered and welcomed, the houses along the route being decorated with flags. The King looked strong and well. The Ministerial crisis continues. It is believed Signor Lanza conferred with the King last night. The Italie states that in all probability som e members of the present Ministry will form par t of the new Cabinet. In the meantime the sing has not definitively accepted the resignation Of General Menabrea.
