Instead of a revolutionary outbreak yesterday taking place in the French capital, the Parisians wit nessed a very different spectacle indeed. Through out the whole day the city, from one end to the other, was in a state of profound tranquillity. A single political mountebank, whose name had never been heard before, made himself ridiculous to a few by standers, by attempting to read some doggrel lines in front of the Obelisk in the Place de la Concorde, and was simply hooted for his pains. As for the Em rErtoß, he was known to have returned to his metropolis upon the previous day, and to have taken up his abode, not at St. Cloud, but—so as to be in the midst of the Parisans on the very day so many were looking forward to with considerable solicitude—in his own birthplace, and, therefore, in his own proper home, the Palace of the Tuileries. The Parisiens knew of this characteristic return of the EMPEROR from his hunting seat at Compeigne to his favourite resort upon every possible opportunity— namely, the very heart or core of supposed danger—and a crowd of them were, consequently, on the look for, him in the neighbourhood of the Tuileries, for the purpose of giving him the welcome any signal display of pluck always com mands. NAPOLEON 111. gave the people the oppor tunity they were in quest of, by appearing in the garden of the Tuileries, where he was immediately greeted with a burst of acclamations. This occurred when he was quietly walking on the Terrace, simply accompanied by M. BEVILLE, without any guard whatever in the way of attendants. Upon the pre vious evening, the eve of the day that has now passed over so very peacefully, but that the implacable foes of the Empire were looking forward to as to a day of disaster, the EMPEROR went to the Opera, and there also was received with loud and prolonged cheering. Among the highest circles, therefore, as well as by the people in the streets, he has been greeted with loyal enthusiasm immediately upon his return among the Parisians ! The whole capital on the anxiously expected 26th being, as we have already intimated, but as we here purposely and gladly reiterate, marking its confidence in the vali dity of the constitutional changes recently intro duced into the whole organisation of the Government of France, at the instance of NAPOLEON 111. him self, by :remaining from sunrise to sunset, from the midnight of the 25-26th, to the midnight of the 2G-27th, in a state of profound tranquillity. It is, of course, wonderfully humorous—vide TEN NIEL'S cartoon in Punch—the delineation, by the Prince of Political Caricaturists, of the Emperor NAPOLEON HI., as another Hero of Niagara, in the midst of his grand tour de force, traversing—on a bicycle formed of groved wheels labelled respectively, the large one, Personal Government, the small one, Representative Government—a rope, inscribed, in its turn, Mes sage of July, a rope suspended (above the rapids and below the falls) at a giddy height over the boiling surges of Revolution. It is all the more ludicrously comic from the balancing-pole, grasped in the hands of the imperial performer, being lettered at either end—Repression—Concession ! The waxed moustach of the Napoleonic emulator of BLONDIN, in their hori zontal elongation, "not to put too fine apoiut upon it," seeming to supply the EMPEROR, as the new arch-type of the Socratic " Balanced Man," with a sort of an auxiliary miniature equipoise. The whole conception of the scene, the whole execution of it, from the clinging pressure of the feet upon the treddles to the vigorous grasp of the hands upon the pole, the impe rial crown worn askew, the watchful eyes gleaming out askance—it is impossible not to recognise as a masterpiece in the shape of a pictorial sarcasm. But, after all, appreciate though we must per- force, the whole comic effect of it—it is at once a capital joke, and an exquisite compliment. Looking at it, and remembering how yesterday passed over in Paris, one cannot help recalling to mind that hap piest phrasecver applied to the actual Hero of Niagara by some one who described M. BLONDIN, the Tight rope Performer [was it not, by the way, Mr. SALA in the Daily Telegraph who employed this most felicitous expression ?] as " that man with the brain of a chamois !" Having regard to the abysses over which the Imperial performer, has now, for a whole score of years together, been guiding, upon a most exquisite balance, the powerful but delicate ma- chinery of the Government of France, one cannot help, again, bearing whimsically in remembrance that reply said to have been recently made by one of M. BLONDIN'S attendants to a spectator who had been speaking of the desperate risk the performer perpetually ran that some day he might fall off the rope—" Fall off the rope? M. BLONDIN fall off the rope ? But—he can't !" As though he had been trying all his life, and had not yet succeeded in doing so, in spite of his utmost endeavours. Talk of sensationalism ! THE members of the United Kingdom Alliance ought to be well satisfiei with their progress. They are now in the position which the Free-traders occupied when the Times, after opposing them for years, one morning announced that the Anti-Corn Law League was " a great fact." The time of ridicule has long gone by; that is the primary stage. The secondary stage also has been passed, for journalists and politicians have ceased to answer the arguments of the Alliance by platitudes about the impossibility of making men sober by Act of Parliament. The publicans themselves have admitted that there is no such impossibility, by admitting that the Beer Act of the last session will promote sobriety. In a word, the great principle is now conceded on all hands that Parliament has the power to legislate against intem perance, and that having this power, it is bound to exercise it. By dint of incessant reiteration, the Alliance have at last beaten into the thickest heads the fact that drunkenness is the main cause of our poverty, our insanity, and our crime. And as politics are every year becoming more social, more popular—as the well-being of the people has taken the place which was formerly occupied by the contention of parties—legislation on the most impor tant social topic of the day has become inevitable. It is under those circumstances that our contempo raries, who have hitherto refused to consider this question as one really calling for sober con sideration, now find themselves compelled to dis cuss it. It is amusing to notice their somewhat awkward efforts to find a tenable position. For the sake of consistency they are bound to call the sup porters of the Alliance bigots still, and to find out some machinery which will differ, though in ever so slight a degree, from that of the Permissive Bill. They are like swimmers who for the first time find themselves out of their depth. Those of us who have long ago crossed the stream stand on the bank looking at the strugglers with amused satisfaction. We know that in spite of all their noise and splashing they will at last have to land where we have landed, and that their arrival is only a ques tion of time. For instance, the Pall Mall Gazette, while maintaining the sarcastic tone which it always held towards the Alliance, while the time-honoured words " bigot" and " fanatic" are forthcoming as usual, admits the whole principle of the Permissive Bill, is "disposed to agree with so much of the Alliance principles as would put the power of licensing in the hands of the ratepayer." But this is really grant ing everything. All the rest is but a matter of detail. , As the Pall Arall Gazette itself says " the question is essentially one of degree rather than of principle." Why then all these hard words and this sublime con tempt ? Merely, as we have said, for the sake of maintaining the appearance of consistency. Of course the supporters of the Alliance endure hard words and contempt with the most good natured indifference. They are far too earnestly bent upon accomplishing their work to care what is said about themselves. They will be con tent to shut up their shutters to-morrow and to let their very name perish from the memory of men if only the nation will complete the reform which now requires a special organisation. One raison aretre has already ceased; they are no longer needed to establish the right of the people to be consulted upon a matter of such supreme importance to them. All that they have to do now is to see that the best machinery is devised for securing the exercise of that right. They have suggested one mode—that which is closely akin to the muni cipal franchise—the vote of the parishioners in any one parish upon the question of license or no license. The Pall Mall Gazette does not approve of this mode, does not like the plebiscite, and wants a licensing Parlia ment, whose members shall be elected by the rate payers—one such Parliament for every county or parliamentary division. We need hardly point out that this arrangement would frustrate the very object which our contemporary professes to desire, the satis fying of local wants. The Gazette does not contem plate the entire abolition of drink-shops, but only the regulation and the restriction of them. Who so capable of knowing their wants as the ratepayers themselves ? who so likely to be ignorant of them as gentlemen sitting in conclave fifty or a hundred miles away ? The Pall Mall must try again. We have no doubt as to the result of its experiments. We shall see sooner or later the announcement that the Permissive Bill is " a great fact." DR. NEIVMAN RETURNING GOOD FOB EVIL. In his last published pamphlet, Mr. Fftmlkes, tne author of "The Church's Creed and the Crown'h Creed" de nounces those Ultramontane intrigues, which are, as the author believes, ruining the prospects of Roman Catholicism in England and which have "so long doomed to comparative retirement and inaction, one of the master minds of the age, when, for tho genius with which God has blessed him, and the influence which he wields over countless thousands, he ought to have been raised aloft on a pedestal as the Saint Bernard of Europe." . No one can mistake this allusion to refer to Dr. Newman, and it is certainly a suffi ciently stimulating hint to the curiosity which has long been felt regarding tho unaccountable obscurity in which his new Church has left him, that Mr. Ffoulkes adds : " I have seen and read a pamphlet written by one scarcely his inferior in ability, and fully his equal in honesty, detailing this intrigue from beginning to end, and disclosing such conduct in some cases as would have made all concerned in it, however exalted their positions, colour crimson, had it been made public. The noble nature, however, which had been assailed, stepped in between this pamphlet and the world just as it was ready for circulation. A presentation copy gave him the first tidings of what what was contemplated, and he replied by telegraph, begging that it might be suppressed." (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. THREE representative Churchmen have written to the Times simultaneously with respect to the nomi nation of Dr. TEMPLE to the see of Exeter. Dr. PUSEY reiterates, though in much more moderate language, the charges which he made against the Bishop Designate in the Guardian of a fortnight back. : Dean M'\ FILE, while holding very much the same opinion of Dr. TEMPLE as the Regius Professor of Hebrew holds, states the reasons why he cannot join the pro posed alliance against the new Bishop. Earl NELSON, one of the most distinguished and influen tial of living laymen, gives his reasons why he cannot oppose Dr. TEMPLE at all. In these three letters are a history and a prophecy. They tell us what the career of the English Church has been up to the present time, and they tell us what in all probability will be the fate of the Church hereafter. The two first writers are the representatives of two schools so utterly opposed to each other that it is wonderful to think how they can be members of the same Church. Save that they both believe in the Divinity and the work of our Lord, there is not one point in common between them. They differ about the sacraments toto calo, and as much as Rome differs from Geneva. They differ about the priesthood to an equal extent. They differ about a matter of such immense practical importance as confession in so great a degree that Dr. APNEILE has declared from the pulpit that the clergyman ought to be hanged who does the very thing which Dr. PUSEY does habitually, and which he is using all his influence to make other clergymen do. They differ absolutely and entirely in the relations which they assume towards the Papacy. Dr. PUSEY has published a work in which he expresses his yearnings for recon ciliation with Rome, and details the concessions he is willing to make in order to secure that ' blessed consummation, Dean 11.1±NEILE has incessantly denounced the Papacy as the mother of harlots, the mystery of abomination, the accursed thing, between whom and England there can be "no peace." So'strong is the power of theo logical hatred, however, that it is possible these two divines and their followers might have united in a corn mon warfare against Dr. TEMPLE, had it not been ' for the extreme indiscretion of Dr. PUSEY in proclaim ing at the outset that he was prepared to raise the ' cry of separation of Church and State if this appoint ment was persisted in. All chance of a High and Low Church Alliance was lost from that moment. The " Evangelical " party are prepared to make great sacrifices in order to keep out a heretic, but they are not prepared to sacrifice the social position which is secured to them by the union of Church and State. True, they have not given Dr. PUSEY'S threat of separation as their reason for refusing to co-operate with him. They have preferred to summon the Levitical law to their aid as a justification for holding aloof ; or (as Mr. HOBART SEYMOUR, of Bath, has done, in a letter which is surely a masterpiece of theological arrogance), to affect equa l con t emp t f or those " potsherds of the earth," the Rationalists and the Ritualists. Nevertheless, seeing that the Low Church party united with Dr. PUSEY in a former attack upon the Essayists, it is at least conceivable that they might have united with one of the " potsherds " on the present occasion, but for the threat which was blurted out with such indiscreet frankness by Dr. PUSEY. It is a relief to turn to Earl NELSON'S letter. accuse N in o one will willbeing lukewarm the Church him hurch of or indifferent about the faith. He has always been reckoned as a High Churchman and as prominent among the lay peers in defence of what he believes to be the rights of the Church. Nevertheless he considers the present agitation against Dr. TEMPLE unwise and unfair. " A combination in defence of any article of the faith (he says) is a noble thing ; but to come together against a man for anything short of heresy, im morality, or well-established incompetence, is a hateful thing, because very like persecution; and it must not be forgotten that all who cannot see the heretical teaching will assuredly believe that it is mainly a feeling against one party in the Church which has caused for a time the proposed amalgamation of the other two." He points out that Dr. TEMPLE'S essay was written some time before, and apart from, the others, and that he is not respon sible for the deductions which other persons have drawn from his premisses. The chivalrous feeling which prevented him from forsaking the other Essayists when they were prosecuted, may have been an error of judgment ; but " surely it cannot be contended that this is a sufficient ground upon which to brand a man as aheretic, and on nothing short of such a branding can we have any right seriously to oppose the appointment of the Crown's nominee to the see of Exeter." We have said that these letters contain a history and a prophecy. They shew how the compromise which was effected at the Reformation has become almost impossible of longer continuance, and that the disruption of the Church is inevitable if professional theologians are allowed to have their own course. Dr. PusEy has committed himself to a disestablishment agitation. Lord SHAFTESBURY and Dean 111'NEILE have expressed their unconquerable and equal aver sion to the views of Dr. PUSEY and the Essayists. how can union be maintained among such discordant and hostile parties? In only one way :by the active interposition of the laity. Their ',calmer judgment may arrest the result which heated theologians are hastening. Will the English Church learn from the example set by her sister in Ireland ? Will she, as the Irish Church has just done, admit the laity into her counsels, give thorn a seat in her representative body ? It is only in this way that she can prevent the disastrous "falsehood of extremes" and save herself, MARKE7 S-2llls D. 4 Y. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Oct. 27.—Salon probably 10,000 balos.

A. great battle between Oko Jumbo and Ja Ja has ter minated the native war at Bonny. The fight lasted nearly thirty-six hours, and the slaughter on both sides was immense. It ended in the total defeat of Ja Ja's troops and the capture by Olw Jumbo of seventy guns of different calibre. Negotiations were going on between the rival chiefs, and at one time 1,000 puncheons of palm oil were demanded from Ja Ja ; subsequently the quantity was reduced to twenty; but it was generally believed that by the intervention of the traders and the presence of one of her Majesty's ships at Bonny that amicable arrangements would be concluded between the Manilla Pepple people and the Ja Jas. The destruction of the town of Bonny was almost complete, one side of it being entirely swept away, whilst other parts are in a state of wreck. The guns, which ranged from 361 b. to 631 b., were fired at the extraordinary short range of 100 yards, with heavy charges of grape and canister. The havoc was fearful. The bush was crowded with fugitives—men, women, and children — many being wounded in a shocking manner. Hundreds of dead and wounded were lying about the beach, whilst numbers of bodies, in clusters of three and four, were floating about in the creek. It was stated that Ja Ja had about 500 men killed outright, and about three or four times as many hors de combat. AN ODD MISTAKE.—The Reforme announces that Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer, the "celebrated English novelist," has arrived in Paris. A NICE OALCULATION.—A gentleman one day indiscreetly asked a lady how old she was. She reflected. "Let me see. I was 13 when I was married, and my hus band was 60 ; now he is twice 30, that is 60. So, of course, I am twice 18, that is 36." At the Central Criminal Court on Tuesday, the brothers Webb, who were found guilty of conspiring to ob tain money by means of a bubble company, were sentenced by the Common Sergeant to two years' bard labour—the highest sentence possible for the offence. TILE LORD MAYOR ELECT.-011 Tuesday after noon a meeting of Devonshire men residing in London was held at 61, Cheapside, to make arrangements for the pre sentation of a congratulatory address to the Lord Mayor Elect—who was born in Exeter—to be presented to him on an early day. The chair was occupied by Mr. E. B. Stephens, and Messrs. T. G. Snell and R. C. Raise were requested to act as hon. secretaries. The co-operation of all men of Devon resident in the City or the suburbs is solicited to the movement. THE FOOT ANL MorTH DISEASE.—On Tuesday at the sessions -house, Clerkenwell-green, Mr. John Clarke, farmer, of Estcot, near Southall, attended before the com mittee of magistrates to ask for the restoration of 40 sheep that were seiz at Southall market. The chairman said that, as the veterinary surgeons disagreed, the court had determined to remit the case to the Privy Council, so that some eminent veterinarians might be sent by the Council to examine the sheep. CABINET CouNca,—At the Cabinet Council held on Tuesday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street, the Ministers present were the Right Hon. W. E.

A RAILROAD AT JERSEY.—The island of Jersey will shortly be in possession of a railway between its two chief towns, St. Helier and St. Aubin. An English com pany has resolved to construct a line round St. Aubin's Bay for passenger and goods traffic. The company, it is said, have in view the ulterior formation of a deep-water harbour at Noirmont, from which the mail packets will be able to enter and leave at any time of the tide. The States of the island on Friday passed a bill sanctioning the for mation of the railway, which is to be completed in twelve months from the time the bill is agreed to by the Home Government. TIIE DITNEELD BRIDGE CASE.—At the recent sitting of the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, Mr. Robertson, of Dundonnochie, failed in an attempt to over turn a sentence of damages, fine, and alternatively impri sonment, pronounced against him by the justices of Perthshire for a contravention of the Dunkeld Bridge Act, by breaking down the tollgate and parts of the bridge. The court held that the summary Procedure Act, under which the prosecution was brought, did not become inappli cable to the circumstances of the case by reason of the Justices being authorised to award a sum of damages in addition to, or as part of, the penalty. Neither was the sentence invalidated by the refusal of the Justices to adjourn the trial in order that another witness for the defence, the Duke of Atholl, might be cited. That was a matter within the discretion of the Justices, and, moreover had not been stated as a ground of appeal boforo the Quarter Sessions. THE LATE EARL OF DERBY.—The Mayor of Liverpool (Mr. Thomas Dover) on Tuesday received the following letter from Admiral Hornby :—" Knowsley Hall, Oct. 25, 1809.—My Dear Mr. Mayor,—l need hardly say how very gratifying to Lord Stanley and the members of his family must be the wish you express to shew the respect in which Lord Derby was held, and the sorrow entertained at his death ; but Lord Stanley, while desir ing me to express his most grateful thanks for the offer conveyed in your letter, also wishes me to say, that by the written and often expressed. wish of Lord Derby, he is bound to carry out his father's funeral `in the most private manner that is possible,' and having only to-day been compelled to decline an offer which her Majesty had been most graciously pleased to make that ' she should be represented at Lord Derby's funeral,' he trusts that you will not think him ungrateful, in feeling that, as the funeral must be a strictly private one, attended only by relatives, he is compelled to decline your offer of sending your carriage, but ho does so with many very sincere thanks.—l remain, my dear Mr. Mayor, yours very sincerely, W. H. HORNBY, Rear-Admiral." ON THE PLATFORM OF A WOMAN'S RIGHTS CON VENTION.—Soon the hall is well filled; the audience begins to manifest its impatience at the sight of a vacant stage by a well-bred clapping of hands ; whereupon two cada verous reporters emerge timidly from behind the scenes, and survey the audience with a half scared look. Next appears a sober, melancholy man, coat buttoned up to the chin, who walks sadly across the stage, sits down suddenly with his hat between his knees, and gazes in tently on the ceiling. A jovial, chuckling man follows him, plumps down near him, and chuckles on with his um brella in one hand and his whiskers in the other. Then comes the principal piece of metaphorical pyrotechnics of the occasion; for in sweeps the Reverend Selina Sharpe, stately and spectacled, in black silk with lace fixings, followed by a dazzling bevy of disciples, the majority of whom are surprisingly young, sparkling, and pretty. Here is a bright, vivacious blunde, with great blue eyes, an irresistible advocate, what with her smiles and glances ; there a noted sculptress, tall and graceful, artistic in movement as in genius ; there again a gentle, slender, spirituelle lady, with soft curls and kindly brown eyes, a poetess just getting to be talked about : still again, a Grecian head, a yoting face festooned with :,ilyery white hair, a quiet, earnest woman's rights woman of the most genial and persuasive sort. A most dangerous galaxy, the keen-eyed man of society thinks; and Materfamilias, despite her snoering,is very prone to fear so too. It was all well enough, thought our fashionable friends, to go and laugh, as wo did, at the Bloomers and the straight-waisted old maids, the venerable women in spectacles, and the sharp-featured men with long hair and broad collars; but it was really too bad to 800 ladies, pretty ones too, decked in the latest fashions, and with quite the manners of the haub monde, lending their countenance to thL44 . l46AtilOtityioo r .--Pift,Thedt. SitYgiatiiiiili INCENDIARISM IN YOI?KSTIIRE. Another very destructive stackyard fire burnt through. out Monday at the " High Barn," on Dent Hills, on the farm of Mr. Henry Speck, of Boythorpe, in the great Weld valley, resulting in the total destruction of the property. There was no water, and the case was one in which the fire could only be allowed to burn itself out It gems that on the Saturday a steam thrashing machine had been in use, and that at night part of a large wheat stack remained unthrashed, and this with other stacks were to be completed on Monday. The wheat remaining was estimated at forty to fifty quarters, and the yard also contained barley and oat stacks, the produce of the upper section of the farm, and there were two quarters of wheat in sacks which had not been got away on the Saturday. All was right on the Sunday, but on Monday morning a labourer residing in a cottage on another farm, having a child ill, got up about three o'clock and saw the fire. He gave the alarm, but before anything could be done the thrashing nachine was totally burnt, and had communicated the ire to the straw, and thence to the stacks, so that all that •emaincd at night was a heap of dust. The engine was raved unharmed, and some 'few moveable farm propel ties were rescued. The engine and thrashing machine were the property cf F. Patrick, cf Weaverthorpe, and were quite new, and had only been sized in the valley a few weeks, but had received very great patronage. From the inquiries of Mr. Superintendent Harper there would seem very little doubt but that the fire was the result of a trade outrage, intended to destroy the new machine. The owner was not insured. A subscription was set on foot towards covering his losses by the dastardly act. The farm produce was insured. MORE THREATS IN IRELAND. The Express, of Dublin, states that two copies of the following placard were posted in Kells on the Sunday after Mr. Nicholson was fired at : " PROCLAMATION. " Whereas it has boen alleged that another outrage of agrarian nature has been perpetrated near Kells, we, therefore, deem it expedient to notify all whom it may concern that in our former edict placarded last May in that town we gave due warning of the intention of our Government in reference to tyranny, land-jobbing, and extermination, which seems not to be attended to, we again notify that tyrannical class of Devils that we will not permit them for the future to outrage God's people by banishing them off the land. We will not be made the laughing-stock of nations any longer by the policy of rotten Governments promising us protection. We will gain for ourselves with the revolver the real true form of a Land Bill, well shaped and permanently framed, propelled by the virtue of a lead pill. Be ye not deceived, this we will carry into effect, as the shooting down of the Absentee in London, Paris, or in the midst of his guard can be as easily effected through our Agents as that you would not believe, also the Royal Irish Peelers might as well go in search of a Tailor's needle in the Atlantic as to capture the right man. The King of Prussia or his Prime Minister does not feel much surprised at the shooting of landlords in Ireland. We regret to have to take the life Of any of those Landlord Assassins who assassinated the People of Ireland in cold blood, but we must get justice.- 7 By order. " Dublin, Oct. 9, 1369." DEATH OF A MISER. On Tuesday evening Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for the eastern division of Surrey, held an inquiry at the Perse verance Tavern, Vassal-road, respecting the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Eliza Chapman, a widow, aged about 65. The first witness called was Mrs. Eleanor Pinn, the wife of Mr. Henry Pinn, a clerk at the Board of Works. She deposed that the deceased had occupied two rooms in her house, 10, Milton-street, Brixton-road, for the past 12 months. She was of very singular habits, and for days together was not seen to leave her room by witness, and would not converse with any person in the house. On last Thursday evening she came down stairs and complained of being ill. The witness asked deceased if she should call in a medical man, but she said no, that if she became worse she would go to the hospital, She walked about in the conservatory for a short time, and then went up to her reom. About six o'clock the following morning the witness sent her female servant up to her room to ask if she required anything fetched for her breakfast. She knocked at the door several times, but received no reply, and in consequence witness called in a police-constable, who forced open the room door, and discovered her lying on the floor quite dead. She sometimes sent for a pint of ale, which lasted her for about a month, and a small quantity of bread and tea. Mr. Smith, the summoning and coroner's officer, said he received information of the death of the deceased on the morning in question, and went to the house. Ho there saw the last witness, who showed him up stairs to a room, and there saw the deceased, who was fully dressed, and lying on a straw mattress. The last witness and another woman took off her clothes, but found no money or other property upon them. He then searched the room, and upon opening a box found a number of silk dresses, which appeared not to have been worn for months. There was also a pair of old stays, with a pocket in front, sewn in different parts with black thread. He obtained a pair of scissors, and with them cut the pocket open, finding 112 sovereigns. He then searched another box and found a large gold waiter, a few shillings, a purse, and some halfpence The relatives of the deceased were not known in the house, but a note he discovered caused him to go to 89, Kenning ton-road, where he found the sister of the deceased resided. She said she had not seen deceased for years, and after wit ness told her she would be required at the inquest she said she would not attend ; she knew nothing about the matter, and requested him to go to Mr. Cresswell, of the Divorce Court, who was her nephew, and to whom he gave up the money. The coroner said he ought not to have done that, as there might have been a will left by the deceased, or a nearer relative living. Mrs. Pinn, recalled, said she found in the room £1 2s. 6d., twelve silver spoons, gold eye glass, silver sugar-tongs, gold diamond ring, and wedding ring. Mr. Smith said all the food he found in the room was a small portion of stale bread and butter which had partly been eaten by mice. In reply to the coroner, Mrs. Pinn said she had advised the deceased to have a person in to clean her room, but she declined. She often said that she had money and paid a rent of 6s. a week regularly. Mr. William Creswell said the deceased was his mother's sister. She was the widow of a retired gentleman. She had a private income arising from money in the Bank of England. The witness last saw her alive about five years ago. She was very penurious, and would go without proper nourishment to save money. She had kept away from her family. He was of opinion that her death was due to natural causes, but accelerated from a want of proper nourishment. The jury returned a verdict " That the de ceased died from natural causes, accelerated by want of food and proper nourishment, which she might have pro cured." Sir J. Y. Simpson has been presented by the Town Council of Edinburgh with the freedom of the city, in recognition of his contributions to medical science and literature. At a recent court ball in Berlin, one of the fair oueens of society, wife of a foreign diplomatist, was the object of Count Bismarck s attentions, and many observed that her beauty had produced a great impression on the famous statesman. The count, with that audacity of con quest which is his especial characteristic, extended his hand to pluck without leave a flower from the splendid bouquet which the lady carried. She rapped his knuckles with her fan, saying, " Pardon, Monsieur le Comte, but that flower is not a German state; you must ask for it." Mr. Commissioner Henderson, the head of the Metropolitan Police, is not protected from the ridicule of the costermongers, for whose better control he has recently issued special instructions to the police. The first of these regulations ordains that "no barrow, cart, or stall for the sale of articles in the street shall exceed three feet in width." There is nothing said here about the length of the vehicle. On Sunday a waggish costermonger pushed about the streets of the eastern district a stall or cart, within the prescribed width, but eighteen feet in length, with a bust of the gallant Commissioner in the centre, which was evidently regarded as a fine stroke of satire at the Commissioner's expense by the population, who as a rule cherish no instinctive reverence for the force.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Buckstone has commenced his winter cam paign most successfully, the new drama, " New Men and Old Acres" having been received with the greatest enthusiasm. The play is well written throughout, the characters all excellently drawn, aud, it is almost needless to say, owing to the known ability of the Haymarket company, admi rably supported. The approval the piece met with on its first representation at Liver pool has been fully ratified by a discri minating London audience, and Mr. Buckstone has secured a piece and a character too that will prove an immense attraction. The play relates to the scheming of a purse-proud parvenu to obtain the possession of the estate of a reduced gentleman, but in which the man made of money is frustrated by' the plain and straightforward dealing of a true friend of the old family. Mr. Buckstone sustains the character of the vulgar, scheming Mr. Bun ter with the greatest ability ; in fact, th e consummate art with which the character is rendered is beyond praise. Mr. Chippendale ued Mr. Howe have each capital parts, and Miss U. Robertson fully sustains the high position she has taken in the dramatic profession. The piece is placed on the stage with the greatest taste and com pleteness, and altogether it forms an entertainmen t worthy of the high reputation of the Haymarke t Theatre, and one which wilt assuredly attract de lighted audiences for months to come. GLOBE THEATRE. Whatever might have been the original intention of the author of the new comic drama " Not such a Fool as he Looks," one thing is quite certain, its production at the Globe Theatre will prove a great and deserved success, as it introduces the talented author to the Metropolitan playgoers as an a ctor, and that, too, of the highest ability. 'We certainly cannot regret that the part of Sir Simon Sin 3 Pl e has not fallen into other hands ; on the a l ' trary, it gave us unmixed satisfaction and deligh t to witness the finished and highly-elabora te rendering of it by the author. In saying this it l e our desire to award to Mr. Byron our high e6t praise, and that too not iu a qualified manner, b ut in a fair, candid, and thoroughly independent Elca f i rit, in a manner that gives us great pleasure, an d in a way in which Mr. Byron may not attribute either flattery or partiality. The production of th e piece has given to us a new actor, one posses: sing the highest qualifications, and one who, .1 it be his intention to remain on the stage, W ll , eventually become the best light comedian (); the day. It is only a matter of regret he has De sooner gratified the metropolitan public; but nc l ' i that he has, he may rest assured they will not will ingly part with him. The piece as a composition is perhaps not devoid of blemish and instP r° _, - babilit y; but that need not be regardeu,,. because many pieces, and very successful ones too, stand in the same category. It is encl.l° .. that it is admirably acted in all its parts, it is taste s fully put upon the stage, and its performance gore as we have said before, unqualified pleasure and aee light. We congratulate Mr. Sefton Parry 00 for success of the piece, and he has our best wishes le the continued prosperity of the Globe Theatre. MACCABE'S ENTERTAINMENT. Mr. Frederic Maccabe has commenced a s-e brt series of farewell entertainments, at the EgYPt i3ll , 4 Hall, previous to his departure on a lengtheae: tour.
