Account, Nov. 4 931 7HE HEAL7H OF LORD DERBY. We regret to say that the last telegram received at St. James's-square shortly before one o'clock this day, reports that there is no improvement in the noble Earl's state since the telegram from Lord Stanley to Colonel Talbot, which described him as sinking gradually. ADVER77SING DODGE.. The art of advertising is better understood on the other than on this side of the Atlantic. We freely and gratefully acknowledge that for a straightfor ward advertisement there is no place like London ; but for artful dodges, clever as Londoners are, they have not approached to the sublime height of the citizens of the great Republic. Not long ago we told how one made an cffer for the outside of a pulpit to show sweet things in baby-jumpers; an other proposed to supply prayer-books for an Epis copal congregation gratis, but the horrified minister discovered that on every alternate page there was a flaring advertisement. Those who are so little inclined to respect even the sanctity of the church are not likely to be baulked by any merely national considerations, and the finest instance of this was lately furnished on the field of Gettysburg. Upon that battle turned the issue of the war. We do not mean to say that the issue could have been other than it was, but tracing the strife from Fort Sumter to the surrender at the Appomottox Court House, it was the great turning point in the chain of events. The idea appears to have suggested itself of tracing out the spots made memorable during those celebrated three days, by the leaders and commanders in the action. Whether this originated from the pro prietors of the ground, whereon there are some ex cellent mineral springs, or was quick as thought seized on by them, we know not ; at any rate, it was skilfully turned into a grand advertisement to direct attention to the site of a new watering-place. When we compare English efforts against such an achievement as this their poverty is manifest. The question, " W ho's GRIFFITHS?" when constantly pre sented, may excite a curiosity which might be stimu lated by the answer, " The Safe Man," all in large round letters in chalk, as if the perplexing inquiry had emanated from the juvenile mind—and it is not without merit, while we presume it pays, or it would not ornament so many old boards and walls. " Dangerous illness of the Emperor of the FRENCH I" "Buy 18-carat Gold Chains." "The Harvard Boat Race." " Use Parr's Life Pills !" Such as these are innocent little dodges to catch the wandering eye but compare them with what Saratoga proposes : "If any four of the Oxford crew will come over and row a match with four selected from the Harvards, the village of Saratoga will, through its President, Mr. John ll. White, present to the winners a medal of the value of $5,000, or a service of silver of that amount, or coin, if they prefer it ; the race to take place either a few days before or after, or even during, the racing meeting, at their option, and the expenses of passage to and fro, both for the Oxfords and Harvards, and their hotel bills and carriage rides, will also be paid by the executive cemmittee of the Racing Associa- tion at Saratoga." it is naively asserted that there is a beautifulsheet of water, 8 miles long by 21 broad, around which a mil lion of people could find good standing room and see without inconvenience. The offer of Saratoga has a very liberal look, but when analyzed it is like the hospitality of the hotel-keeper who invites the PRE SIDENT to occupy a suite of apartments. If the Oxford crew accept a challenge to row at Saratoga, it will bring the million required to line the lake, and the harvest Saratoga would reap for that year would be considerably more than the hundred-fold yielded by the most prolific of grain during a genial season. Hotel-keepers consider the best use to which a Presi dent can be put is to draw a full house, and General GRANT is for them a good President; his reputation as a General materially aiding the dignity of his station, while he rather enjoys moving about the country during the summer. The PRESIDENT, therefore, is a grand advertisement, and has been freely used as such by men in other lines—hatters, tailors, tobacconists. It is true that the QUEEN is not without value in this way to her subjects. Ame ricans are often surprised in walking through Lon don to notice the nature of the articles supplied to her MAJESTY. A stranger would suppose that the QUEEN smoked, wore the most remarkable and un feminine garments, and hunted and shot over her dominions. While on this subject we may state that the best proof proprietors of newspapers can give of their faith in this medium is in their own lavish use of it, publishers and newspaper proprie tors being the greatest of advertisers. Paris has its novelties, of which one is a transparency brightly illuminated in a house on a boulevard. From dusk till midnight the advertisement is set forth in a window on sea-green ground, and a company has been formed to manage these transparencies.— Anglo- America n l imes. RECOVERY OF COL. MCKIE'S CHlLD.—Elizabeth Barry, the woman who carried off Colonel Ilickie's child from Maidenead on Friday week, was arrested at Liverpool yesterday. it appears that the child has been well treated. LITERARY.—The American Grocer, a semi monthly ournal of twenty pages, published on the Ist and 15th of each month, has just been issued in New York.—The Crescent (New Orleans) newspaper establish ment, including a four-cylinder Hoe press, has been pur chased by the Republican.—Mr. John Swinton, for ten or twelve years one of the editors of the New York Times, the conductor of its noted "Minor Topics" column, and the trusted personal friend of Governor Raymond, has just resigned his position on that journal. Mr. John Bigelow resigned his position as managiug editor of the New York Times on Wednesday, Sept. 29, and it is rumoured that Mr. Frederick Hudson, formerly of the Herald, will bo his successor. The reasons are not given, but general regret is expressed that Mr. Bigelow should have taken such a step. OBlTuAßY.—George F. Patten, of Bath, senior member of the well-known shipping firm of George F. and John Patten, died on Sunday evening, Sept. 26, aged 82. — Charles Colburn, clerk of the State Senate, Massachusetts, from 1830 to 1842, from 1814 to 1850, aud from 1853 to 1851, died at Nebraska ( by, Nov., September 12, at the age of about 70.—Died at New York, Sept. 21, Rev. Dr. William Walton, aged 50, Professor of Hebrew in the General Theological Seminary, and son of the late Rear- Admiral Walton, of the British Navy. —Gideon M. Davison, who started the first newspaper at Saratoga in 1818, died at that place on Thursday, Sept. 30. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1869.

The plan recently issued by the " National Education Union " (which must be distinguished from the " League," whose meetings have been held this week at Birmingham), has seemed to Mr. Baines, M.P., to be the most carefully con sidered of all the plans hitherto published, open to the fewest objections, and at the same time calculated to being about a universal education of the working classes. He has conveyed his approbation of the plan, observing:—" It aims at the instruction of all children without excep tion. It utilises the existing schools ; which it would be equally unwise and impracticable to attempt to set aside. It supplements them where defective, by providing for the children of paupers and vagrants, and by more liberal grants to infant, mixed, and evening schools. It secures that the education shall be effective by prolonging the half time system till the children are able to pass a satisfactory examination in reading, writing, and arithmetic. It pro vides for moral and religious training, not by requiring it as a condition of State aid, but by aiding denomina ticnal (as well as secular) schools. It guards the rights of conscience, by requiring a conscience clause in all aided schools, and giving to parents a free choice of the schools. It acknowledges parental responsibility, and does not burden the rates with the cost of educating children whose parents arc able to bear that cost themselves. It facili tates the completing of our educational system, not by over throwing institutions to which the public faith is pledged, and towards which millions of money have been voluntarily contributed in reliance on that pledge, but by extending and improving the laws relative to primary and industrial education."

Archdeacon Denison sends the following memorial for publication :—To the Very Rev, the Dean, and the Rev. the Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Exeter.—The memorial of the undersigned, George Anthony Denison, M.A., Vicar of East Brent, Archdeacon of Taunton. Sheweth,— That it is currently reported and believed that the Rev. Frederic Temple, D.D., head master of Rugby School, has been recommended by the Prime Minister for the vacant See of Exeter. That your memorialist, in the year 1861, moved for a committee of the Lower House of Convocation of Canterbury, to examine and report upon the book called ".Essays and Reviews and that he was chairman Of the committee. That it appeared to him then, as it appears now, that the essay of Dr. Temple, being the• prefatory essay of the book, has passages heretical in terms ; and, further, that it contains the substance of the entire volume. That it was, and is, impossible for him to come to any conclusion other than that the volume was so devised and arranged, that the remaining six " essays" or " reviews " should proceed to develope in detail the prin ciples laid down and indicated in the prefatory "essay" of Dr. Temple ; the several subjects being assigned to the several writers by an anonymous editor, conversant with, and, perhaps, intimating, the entire scheme ; and that, all neces sity of intercommunication between the several writers being thus avoided, each one of them was enabled to say that he was answerable for his own " essay " or "review" only. That your memorialist has shown by an analysis of the volume, published by him in 1361, that it is impossible to ccme reasonably to any conclusion about the structure and composition of the volume other than that horeir stated. The Lower House of Convocation condemned the book upon the report of its committee. Dr. Temple has not recalled his essay ; nor retracted the heretical passages in it, nor disclaimed sympathy with the other "essays" nor even expressed publicly his sorrow for having written and allowed it to be published. That, regard being had to the facts herein above stated, ycur roemeriaist is compelled to say, that, if the appointment of Dr. Temple to the Sec of Exeter, or to any other See of the Church of England, shall ho carried out, a direct and intolerable offence and treason will have been committed against Christ and His Church; and that thereupon it will become the duty of every Churchman to labour actively and steadily to dissolve all connection between the Church and the State. Your memorialist, therefore, respectfully prays that you will withold your official sanction of and concurrence in such appointment.

Auber intends to write a dramatic scene, in which all the female celebrities of the time—that is to say, Mesdames Patti, Nilsson, Marie Sass, Mario Cabel, Carvalho, Bloch, and Marimon are to take part.— Mr. John Warrington Wood, who in two years has risen from a stonemason's yard in Lancashire to be the owner of one of the most noted studios in Rome, and whose statue of " Eve " attracted great admiration in last year's exhibition, is at present on a visit to this country. —The Abyssinian medals are being struck at the Mint, and it is expected that they will bo ready for distribution by Christmas. It is stated that the Rev. Dr. O'Neill, president of the Tipperary branch of the Irish Tenant League, has telegraphed, on behalf of that branch, to Mr. John Stuart Mill requesting to bo informed of his sentiments on the land and education questions, and whether ho would be willing to allow himself to bo put in nomination for the representa, tion of the county. With reference to an article which appeared in the Pall-Mall Gazette on the connection of Green, the murderer of Mr. Kyezor, with the discovery of the Cato-street conspiracy, a correspondent writes :—" The man who committed the murder at Whitton was cer- tainly not Edwards, the Cato-street Government spy. Edwards, with great patronage, established himself as a dressing-case manufacturer. His shop was at the corner of Orange-street and King-street, Bloomsbury. At his death his son carried on the business, and after him the grandsons. The whole family have been long dead." A meeting of the delegates of the Dublin trades and the members of the Amnesty Association has been held in Dublin, to consider the best steps to be taken with the view of procuring the release of the Fenian prisoners. The meeting, which was largely attended, was addressed by Mr. Butt, Q.C., who advised his hearers to suspend their de monstrations for the present, leaving the Government to act. Mr. Moore, who afterwards spoke, disclaims a 1 sedi tions intentions. The time for talking, he said, was past. The time for action had not come. It is reported in Florence that a Royal decree will shortly bo published finally regulating the relations between the administration of religious affairs and of ju• tic') and finance. The department of religious administration has hitherto wished to bo self-governing and in dependent of the other State departments. This loads to serious inconvenience, and has often been re gretted, without any Minister being able to remedy the evil. This anomalous state of things is incompatible with the con stitutional regime, and will be put a stop to by the royal decree alluded to. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. SIITNDAY, The reports of a change, either past, present, cr to come, in the personnel of the Cabinet are still rife in Paris, but no certain information is to be had. All that can be defi nitely stated is that M. Rouher arrived at Compiegne the very same day as the Emperor, that is to say, two days before the Cabinet; that M. do Forcade left Compiegne the day after he arrived there ; and that M. Schneider has been called upon to assist the deliberations. The Liberte gives this morning a specific narrative which, it affirms, is authenticated in two different quarters. According to this account, the Emperor and his favourite ex-Minister arranged the programme of a new and extremely Liberal policy which they confidently believed M. dc Forcade and his colleagues would never accept. Their retirement from office must follow, when a new Cabinet would be formed, under the auspices of M. Rouher, who would himself take the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, and make M. de Lavalette Minister of the Interior. The programme marked out by the Emperor included the abolition of Article 75, the nomination of the mayors by universal suffrage, the alteration of the electoral circumscriptions, absolute liberty of the press, and freedom of public meetings. While this somewhat startling information was being laid before the Council, M. Rouher sat by smiling in secret, but his satisfaction was speedily damped, for the Ministers, after a brief pause of dismay and astonishment, proclaimed their willingness to carry out the Emperor's wishes! The electoral movement in Paris becomes more and more pronounced, and meetings are being constantly held to consider the merits of rival candidates. The electors of Lyons have addressed a letter to M. Ras pail, desiring that he should not, as their representative, take part in any demonstration on the 26th. The particulars of the duel which took place between Prince Metternich and Count Beaumont have now reached the Parisian world. It appears that it was necessary to observe great caution in arranging the preliminaries of the affair. The diplomatic post which the Prince holds also gave rise to complications. Count Beaumont desired his seconds to leave the choice of weapons to his adversary, although he considered himself to be the aggrieved party. The Prince selected the sabre, as he was very familiar with its use; and, though Count Beaumont had never handled it, the seconds confirmed the decision. The spot fixed upon for the duel was a little island in the Rhine, near the bridge of Rohl. In his ignorance of the weapon, Count Beaumont used it as a sword, and attacked the Prince with such energy that he was speedily wounded. He received a sabre thrust in his arm, which cut an artery. The Prince was taken to a chilteau in the neighbourhood, and for some hours his life was in danger, but the last tidings are more reassuring. The funeral of M. Sainte-Deuce took place yesterday. Although the hour fixed upon for the ceremony was com pamtively an early one, about 5,000 persons assembled in the neighbourhood, and the books in the yard of the house in the Rue Montparnasse were covered with signatures. A curious medley of names was observable, belonging to those of all ranks who wore anxious to do honour to the illus trious departed. The funeral was attended by some well known writers, and by representatives of the Parisian press and belles-lettres. A considerable number of persons paraded the Faubourg St. Honor 6, a day or two since, pausing in front of the Palab Itoyal to sing the Marseillaise and shout" Vive la R6publique !" However, not being inter ferod with in any way, they soon dispersed. The public meeting announced to be held on Friday evening at Belleville did not take place. The streets were crowded at the hour fixed, and the police agents were to be seen in all direction. The military did not, however, make their appearance. Some young men who came in a ccach wished to pass by the Rue Desnoyers. Finding the gates locked, they applied to the sergents-de rille, who briefly informed them there would be no meet ing, and having said this much, preserved a discreet silence. The crowd dispersed quietly, and no disturbance whatever took place. I hear that M. Desnoyers refused to allow the meeting to be held in his establishment, and that he is to be called to account in the law courts for breach of contract. The investigation into the Belleville disturbances is pro ceeding, The result of a preliminary inquiry has been that M. Amouroux has been set at liberty. MM. Ilavret ‘nd Noumet aro still in custody. Yesterday aftnoon about a hundred young men marched two by two along the Boulevard Montmartre. They wero the shopmen of the Maisons de Nouveaute, on strike. By the time thoy reached the Bourse, they became noisy, and it is said that the police made some wrests among them. The masters will not accede to the demands of these discontented employe's, and intend to take on as many females as they can to supply their place. It is believed that the strike will become general in this branch of industry, as no terms will be listened to. The Journal Officiel publishes a narrative of the recent unhappy affair at Aubin, declaring it to bo necessary to state the facts, as they have been altered and misrepre sented by partial accounts. The Journal des _Wats ac knowledges this, but asks why the official record should partake so largely of the character of a communique? The version of the story given by the Journal Officiel by no means dispenses with the necessity of an inquiry into the whole affair. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—this Day. THAMES. RoDDERY AND INGDATITUDE.—AmeIia Gutch, aged 35 years, a married woman of drunken and dissolute habits, whose husband is a house owner in Stepney, and in good circumstances, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing three bed-gowns, a quilt a jacket, and other property belonging to a poor woman named Catherine Gwillan. The prisoner has been discarded by her hus band in consequence of her profligate and intemperate habits. She was kindly sheltered for a few nights by Mrs. Matilda Hill, of No. 1, Emma- place, Devonport-street, and wife of a respectable coalmeter. The prisoner t'ok ad vantage of her staying at Mr. and Mrs. Hill's by plundering the apartments of Mrs. Gwillan, and she disposed of the property to a leaving-shop keeper, named Brand, of East field-street, Limehouse. Brand said the property was brought to him by the prisoner on the 4th, 16th, 18th, 20th, and 22nd of September, and he advanced her money on the whole of it. The property, of considerable bulk, was identified. The prisoner said Mrs. Hill told her to take the pro perty, and shared the money received from the leaving house keeper. This was solemnly denied by Mrs. Hill, who is a very respectable woman, and the prisoner's statement turned out to be completely unfounded. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was a very wicked woman, and committed her for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTING TO STAB A CONSTABLE.—George Cooper a coach painter, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and attempting to stab Police-constable George Hamilton, 56 C, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Hamilton said that about 11 o'clock on Saturday night he was on duty in Coventry-street, when he saw the pri soner, who was drunk, pushing against persons passing. Ho spoke to the prisoner, and he caused about 20 or 30 per sons to collect. About a quarter-past one he asked the prisoner why he did not go away, and the prisoner then thrust his hand towards him, and he found that he had been stabbed, his overcoat, tunic, and the band of his throusers being cut through, and his skin just cut. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would be remanded, but would afterwards be committed for trial. MARKE7 5-2 Ills DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Oct. 18.—Sales probably 10,000 bales.

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of Saturday evealng:-- The prosecution of the Albert Life Assurance Company's directors, was resumcd this morning before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough -street Po lice Court. Mr. Straight, for the prosecution, said the spe cific charge he had to make was that the directors had conspired to represent falsely to the share holders that the company was in a sound and pro sperous condition, capable of paying dividends on its shares, and entering into new engagements with insurers, in the years 1866-69. It would be for the Court to decide whether the company was in solvent in those years, whether it was known to the defendants, and whether knowing this they en tered into a design for the purpose of deceiving the shareholders and to induce the public to become shareholders and insure their lives, by representing that the company was in a sound and prosperous state. It was made known that Mr. Lee, the gentleman pressing the case against the defendants, was not in attendance, and Mr. Knox dismissed the sum mons ; but, he said, it was quite open to Mr. Lee to apply for fresh summonses against the directors of the company.
