A ccor di ng t o agreemen t the settlement is to be effected before the end of the sear. The advic€s from Mexico state that Congress was °Petted on the 16th ult., and. that shortly afterwards the inauguration was performed of the Puebla and °-exican Railway. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury presented to Congress stated the rec eipts for the fiscal year ended the 30th of June t ° have been $13,765,000, and the expenditure $ 13,50 0,000—a result solely due to the dishonour of the foreign obligations of the country.

The Holborn Viaduct was opened for passenger traffic this morning. Pedestrians bound to and from the City were struck with the magnificence of the structure, and the completed appearance of the paveway. The road is being rapidly finished, and will be very shortly ready for traffic. The public are not so fortunate with regard to Black friars Bridge. It appears that the Underground Railway (Metropolitan Extension) have commenced their operations under the northern portion of the bridge. This, with the sewerage works going on, is likely to deiay the opening of the bridge. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Oct, 14.—Sales probably 10,000 bales. The market quiet PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. The event of the elvvis the publication in the Journal Officiel of this morning of 0, note, reminding the public that, by the terms of the 13th article of the law of the 6th of June, 1868, the prefect of police has the right of ad journing any public meeting which seems likely to disturb the public order, and that the Government, in consequence of recent disturbances at public meetings, has decided on putting this law in force. As you may easily suppose, this note has excited some commotion, and has not improved the public feeling towards the ruling powers. The Patrie, it is true, attempts to mitigate the effect, and cautions the public not to attach undue importance to a measure intended merely as a warning to disorderly spirits not to provoke the Government to use its full powers. There is no idea, it avers, of suspending the right of public meeting. The Con stitutionnel also endeavours to explain away the unfavouralle impression produced by the note. Like the Patric', it believes the Government will not exercise ti o right it claims to possess, excepting in regard to rioters, li: e those of Belleville. " When madmen menace the passers-by they arc confined until they are no longer dangerous." Other journals are less easily satiifieel. The Journal cies D ,bals regrets the announcement. Public liberty is its ownbest safeguard,and the good sense of the peoplcwould be a better preservative against the dangers of seditious meetings than an arbitrary interference, which converts demagogues into martyrs. Supposing the manifestation of the 26th October, instead of being openly discussed long before the time, had been matured in secret, and suddenly burst upon the Government. Might not the result, asks the Dalts, have been very different? To give and to withhold at the same time, satirically observes the Siecle, is now more than ever the charac teristic of the Liberals of the Second Empire. It believes the note betrays the official hostility to all public meet ings, though it is unable to understand why free speech is more dangerous than a free press. The Liberti considers this discrepancy in the policy of the Government as a fresh inconsequence, but observes that a few days since a similar note addressed to the journals was in contemplation. A hundred and twenty thousand men, adds M. Odysse-Barot, met on Sunday near Dublin, and at the same time 40,000 more assembled in London, yet in spite of seditious language not a single excess was committed, though no prefects appeared to forbid the meetings. If instead of being merely on sufferance the freedom of public meeting was a right in France as in England, disorder° would, in the opinion of this writer, be equally rare in both countries, and he quotes the old illust:ation of the dangers of compressed steam. It must be confessed that all this harmonises very badly with an anecdote told by the LiZert(' this morning. The last Ministerial Council was a somewhat stormy one. The Emperor alone remained calm, and expressed neither approbation nor disapprobation of the measures proposed. At the close of the meeting he said, smilingly, " We will resume this con versation at Compiegne, but we must all remember that the Constitution which rules us to-day has been modified by the Senatus-Consultum vote of the 2nd September." Those words were much discussed at St. Cloud, and it is gathered from them that the Emperor having entered the path of parliamentary government intends to proceed in it unhesitatingly. So runs the story, but, as I have said, the official note furnishes astrange commentary upon it. A rumour was afloat yesterday to the effect that the Ministers intend to send in their resignations prior to the 26th October. The report that M. Rouher intends to exchange the Presidency of the Senate for the direction of a new Cabinet is still current. The delegates of the electoral committees for Paris held meeting yesterday to decide what course to take with respect to the inaction of the Parisian deputies. It was settled that a commission should wait on the Deputies of the Seine and demand from them an immediate explana tion of the course they will pursue on the 26th of October. The Independance Belge furnishes some frightful details concerning the mortality at Cayenne. Edmund Dolcourt, a political offender, has just returned from that country after an imprisonment of eleven years. He was taken to Cayenne with 530 comrades, all sentenced for political crimes. Of these only twelve have returned ; all the others have died of follow fever, or sought in suicide a refuge from the miseries of their position. General Fleury accompanied the Emperor to Compiegne. ft appears that he takes the place of General Lepic, who is ill. No doubt the Emperor is glad to avail himself of the opportunity of further conversation with the new ambas sador prior to his departure. The Imperial residence at Compiegne is very inconve nient to the Ministers when they have to pay two visits there a week, and they make many complaints about it. The trouble might be avoided by their remaining several days at Compiegne, but their business in Paris is not likely to allow of their absence for any length of time. Tho Empress is not likely to prolong her journey, and the Ladies in Waiting havebeen instructed to be in readiness to resume their duties before the date fixed for the opening of the session. It is said that the Sultan, in order to do honour to the Empress, the Emperor of Austria, and other distinguished persons who have decided to go to Egypt, has resolved to officiate in person at the opening of the Suez Canal. In that case he will be accompanied by the Grand Vizier and a numerous suite. The Crown Prince of Prussia, on his return from the Suez Canal inauguration, will, it is believed, pass through Paris, and pay a visit to the Emperor. Prince Charles of Roumania will stay at Compiegne previous to quitting France. The Emperor has been much struck with his general knowledge and his political intel ligence, and has shewn him many proofs of goodwill and kindly foglinif• THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, t 69.

The Times observes that when it is asked what an Irish landlord ought in justice to do, the answer is given by pointing to what an English landlord actually does. Ho ought to take no advantage of his tenant. Briefly speak ing, the "relatipn.s between landlord and tenant" would call for no interference at all on the part of the Legislature if both tenant and landlord were in such positions as ad mitted of private contract on equal terms. The buyer and seller of land, or the use of land, might be safely left to make their own bargain, like dealers in any other commodities. elDn this point it is not Ireland, but England that furnishes instruction. The law is invoked only to make an Irish landlord do for the future what English landlords do already. If it be said that an Irish landlord might, except for " fixity of tenure," still distress a tenant by eviction—that is, a notice to quit— the answer is obviLul. An eviction is only an injury where it causes a loss; it is no calamity where it represents merely au inconvenience. If an Irish tenant can only be dispossessed after due notice, and on condition of receiving full compensation for all claims connected with his tenure, this liability will amount to little ; besides which, it is to be remembered that such dispossession itself will become far less common when it has to be paid for. A landowner who, by turning out a tenant, can appropriate to himself, without compensation, all the fruits of that tenant's im provements, may be under a tempt: ion to abuse his rights, but that inducement will disappear when every eviction hai to be paid for on the spot according to impartial valuation. The Standard declares that the advocates of secular edu- cation have fairly thrown down the gauntlet. What are termed "inaugural " meetings in favour of any given object usually precede and usher in the period of agitation. They arc intended to rally together and parade the forces here after to be set in motion. The opening meetings of the National Education League, at Birmingham, however, aro intended rather to typify the united purpose and agreement of its members. The National League, with all deference fox Mr. Dixon and his class, holds that all distinctive religious teaching is " sectarian," and that only the education which excludes such teaching is " unsectarian." Thousands of people who would never dream of supporting a system of education from which the religious element is eliminated have been deluded by this despicable cant, which com mends the secular irreligious system to public favour on the ground that it is " unsectarian." If the League were to declare as its platform that it desires to see the people educated without reference to either God or Devil, it might suffer from its boldness, but it would certainly deserve credit for its frankness. It is a mere catchpenny trick to hold out the lure of " unsectarian teaching " when the thing meant is education without religious teaching. We do not believe that the public at large have any sympathy with so pernicious an object, or that they will lend their sanction to a scheme which con templates the training of our young so that ten or twenty years hence England may be a nation of atheists. The friends of religious education are fairly warned as to the danger ahead, and we hope that they will take such action as shall render the projects of the League innocuous. The Herald thinks the appointment of Dr. Temple t• the bishopric of Exeter is little less than an ecclesiastical scandal. We are far from denying the good qualities or depreciating the high abilities of the Head Master of Rugby School. We admit that he holds that rank in the Church which fairly entitles a man to aspire to a bishopric, if he be in no way disqualified therefor. We admit that his contribution to "Essays and Reviews" was not by itself of a character to alarm the Church or raise grave doubts of his orthodoxy. But we affirm that his connection with that disgraceful work—dis graceful simply as an attempt to undermine the faith of Churchmen proceeding from sworn and paid servants of the Church—in the absence of any formal or informal repudiation of his more guilty colleagues, or any effort to sever his cause from theirs, should in itself disqualify him for ever for a post in which ho will be placed in charge of the faith, discipline, and worship of a whole diocese. It is an insult to Exeter, to the memory of a loyal and pious Churchman, that Dr. Temple should be appointed to a diocese long guarded by the zeal and influnced by the opinions of Dr. rhillpotts. It is not very creditable to Mr. Gladstone that this high promotion is so timed as to appear to be given in requital of the services of an active partisan during the late general election. Dr. Temple's orthodoxy is more than suspected. His connection with a work formally condemned by the Church is the distinction by which he is best known to his future diocese. His immediate title to promotion is his active participation in the mutilation of the United Church, of which that diocese is a part. It is impossible to deny that his appointment will be resented by nineteen clergymen in twenty, and by nine-tenths of the laity of that diocese ; and equally impossible to affirm that Mr. Gladstone has dcne well in outraging their feel inpe and their consciences in order to bestow a splendid reurard upon a political adherent. The Church of England, says the Daily 11cu•s, may well pray just now to be saved from its "friends." Its own troubles are great enough in all reason, but it has merciless patrons and champions who are determined to render it much such a service as would be dune to a respectable but d'stracted family if under pretence of justifying one-half of its members all its domestic jars were set forth in the county newspaper. We have lately been told that opis coral appointments ought not to be made the reward of political services. Let us say in turn that a still greater injury to the Church is the dis cussion of episcopal appointments not on their merits, but with main reference to the prejudice which may be created against a Minister too successful not to be envied. The Church pays dearly for its connec tion with the State when on the slender chance of damaging an eminent statesman a deliberate attempt is made to throw a great diocese into confusion, and to destroy the usefulness of him who is called to be its chief pastor. We have often been told of late that the Church of England needs more bishops ; especially that the coun ties of Devon and Cornwall are suffering from a want of episcopal superintendence ; and it is precisely these coun ties which will suffer in proportion as the agitation set on foot to disparage the new Bishop of Exeter may succeed. The public is in no mood to sympathise with the dislikes and antipathies which one set of clergymen may feel towards another. At present the band of the State holds together in the Church men who denounce one another as little letter than infidels, and in so holding them is said to matte the Anglican Church national. Those who think that this forcible connection is of any value will, as wise men, discontinue all agitation which tends to bring the claims of the civil power and of the clergy into conflict. A rupture will conic, in all proba bility, before the Church is well prepared to stand alone, and it is surely wiser to spend the time in hastening for ward the preparation than in en ;aging in contests fore doomed to failure. Political parties may possibly have something to gain by attacks which, made on a bishop d es ignate, are meant to reach some one else; but the gains of party are the losses of the Church. It does at first sight appear difficult, if not impossible, remarks the Post, to reconcile the generally-received maxim that the regard shewn for human life is the index and measure of civilisation, with the deplorable yet notorious fact that murders of a peculiarly revolting character are of almost everyday occurrence, even in the most civilised countries. The true explanation of this strange phe nomenon, perhaps, is that th e d anger ous classes — using the term in its widest sense to compre hend tho criminally and homicidally disposed, to whatever rank of society they may belong—are still as savage and reckless as they ever were; while the well disposbd and moral portion of the uoinintinitr are growing more humane in each successive generation. Thus, at a time when in England and France there is a manifest reluctance to enforce the punishment of death, except in the ease of the worst and most aggravated murders, we have to record such fearful tragedies as those at Hounslow and Wood-green, and the Tropmann affair. Each of those cases is remarkable, not Merely for the deliberate ferocity with which the crime was perpetrated, but for the strange inadequacy of the motives by which the murderers were actuated. The class of homicides who only aim at killing their victims and hope to escape from punishment them selves may be deterred from the commission of the greatest of crimes by dread of a sufficiently adequate penalty. But it is quite clear that those who have made up their minds to add the crime of suicide to murder are not likely to be deterred from carrying out their resolves by the feat of death. This consideration, however, only affords an additional reason for not abolishing what is confessedly the most terrible and the most dreaded of all human punishments in the case of every murderer who can be brought to justice and convicted. The abolitionists profess to rest their case upon philanthropy, benevolence, a reve rence for human life. ' But surely they must see that to expose human life to the attacks of the homicidally dis posed, who, as the statistics of crime prove, are as prone to murder now as at any preceding period, would be a strange method indeed of shewing reverence for human life and demonstrating their philanthropy and benevolence, ritsiliiiing that the court considered Oaptain Bullman altogether free from even the suspicion of intended foul play, we must assume, says the Tdcgraph, that it deemed him incompetent, because he neglected the proper means of exercising control over his crew and anted precipi tately in abandoning his Ves4el. The qualifications, moral and iliclitisite to tnake a really good master manner are so varied, that we can hardly feel surprised when cne member cf the class now and then falls short of the standard. If poor Captain Bullman wanted nerve, or melf.poscession, or that power of inspiring conadttice which is so essentialin a man thus placed, he has suffered severely for his defects, and our mercantile navy has been relieved of a shirmaster who has possibly mistaken his metier. But, on the ground of precipitate abandonment, we may point out that a great deal is to be said on both sides. Is it quite fair to blame a captain for thinking mainly of his personal safety ? A man so placed is quite justified in doubting whether he will be of much use in his vessel after all his crew have left it, and he knows that casualties of that kind are the very raison litre of marine insurance. The decision in Captain Bullman's case, however, will do good in one way—it will foster the idea of a legal supervision. Take them for all in all, our merchant navy officers have greatly improved within the last few years ; and most of them well know that neither roguery nor negligence will generally pay, while steadium ;WI cleY?tion are.. 1012.12. m tn. .w.p l 7 torardect The very extensive Distillery now being erected at Belfast, with all recent impravements for the manufacture of Irish whisky, by Messrs.

From inquiries made at St. James's-square shortly before going to Tress, we learn thst the latest accounts from Knowsley report Lord Derby to have passed a very restless night, and to be in a very exhausted condition this morning. POLICE IN TELL IG EN CE.— 7 las Day. MARLBOIcO UGH STREET. THE EARLY CLOSING ACT.—Mr. Jan Whiting, of the Adam's Arms, Hampstead-street, was summoned for un lawfully keeping open his house for the sale aud consump tion of liquor during prohibited hours, against the terms of his license. Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defendant. A constable of the E division said he visited the defen dant's house about two o'clock on the morning of the 21 inst. and found 17 persons just finishing supper. The de fendant said he had a special license from the Commis sioners of Police authorising him to keep his house open but witness pointed out that the license applied to the pre vious day, Oct. 1. In reply to Mr. Lewis, the witness said ho was aware tho defendant had not used his special license granted by the Commissioners of Police on the day for which it was available. Mr. Lewis submitted that the defendant had offended against the letter and not against the spirit of his special licence. The annual supper of the Journeymen Carvers' Trade Society was held each year at defendant's house, and he had applied and obtained a license authorising his house to be kept open for that purpose until two in the morning of the Ist, and was continued into the small hours of the following morning. The commissioners license contemplated the holding of the supper on the nigh of the 30th ult. and the holding of the first. Had the de fendant pointed out that the license was required for the morning of the 2d it would of course have been granted. The defendant had not used his license for any purpose other than that contemplated by the commissioners, in fact what he had done was the result of a more mistake in the form of his application to the commissioners, whereby they were misled into supposing he was apply ing for a license for a supper to be held on the night of the Ist instead of the night of that day and the following morning. _ _ In reply to Mr. Tyrwhitt, an inspector said the house was remarkably well conducted. Mr. Lewis said that bad there been the least complaint against the house a special license could not have been granted. Mr. Tyrwhitt said, although the police were justified in asking for an investigation, it was not a case for a penalty. The defendant would merely have to pay the costs, and he thought tho police had been rather sharp. THAMES. CHARGE OF WnsuL MURDER.—Adelaide. Freedman, a Jewess, late of 71, Rutland-street, Mile-end-town, near the London Hospital, was brought before Mr. Woolrych by Police-sergeant Briden of the K detective force, charged with poisoning her infant by administering to it salts of lemons, and with afterwards attempting to com mit suicide. The prisoner is about 30 years of age. She was taken into custody by Briden last night in the London Hospital, and appeared very weak and ill. Her husband has been seeking his fortunes in Peru for the last five gyears. About a year ago she formed an adulterous intercourse with a man dwelling in the neigh bourhood of Whitechapel, by whom she became pregnant. She gave birth to a child about five weeks ago, and as she expected her husband home shortly, she feared be would discover her infidelity, and procured salts of lemon, which she adntiuiatered to the child, and it soon afterwards ex pired. She procured the salts of lemon from a chemist under the pretence of wanting it to remove stains and iron moulds from linen. The poison was distinctly labelled on two small packets of the acid. In a fit of remorse she afterwards swallowed some of the stuff and was taken to the London Hospital. The purchase of the two penny worth of salts of lemon, and the admission to her landlady that she had given some of it to her child, was proved. Briden raid an inquest had been held on the body of the child. Tho contents of the &toniach had been forwarded to Dr. Letherby for analysis, and the inquiry was ad journed. Mr. Woolrych said the inquiry could not be completed this day, and remanded tho prisoner for a week. LIST FOR THE USE OF VISITORS TO THE METROPOLIS. MUSEUMS Antiquarian—Somerset 'louse.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on Loudon is 2W. 131. per El sterline. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of tis.lolid. per ounce for standar,l gold, it appe.vs that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in _Paris than in Loudor.

Mao niven and Cameron certainly deserve the thanks and patronage of the pablic for their very superior steel plus. They far exceed in excellence any that have hitherto been in general use, and doubtless in a short time the Waverley, Owl, or Pickwick pen will become universal. They are beautifully finished, and so highly tempered that they possess all the flexibility of the goose quill, and the hand glides over the paper with them with a rapi.lity and clearness that must create both wonder and delight. This is occasioned by peculiarity in the manufacture of the pens, which also obviates the disagreeable sticking and spluttering which has hitherto been one of the grektest objections to the use of the steel pen. With the Waverley pen writing becomes a pleasure, and as each of the three sorts are to be had of any stationer at the price ordinarily charged for common steel pens, the use of the Waverley, Owl, or Pickwick Pen, will, no doubt, become almost universal. On the 21st ultimo the annual cricket match between tho English hotel keepers of New York and Brooklyn took place at Hoboken, and proved to be an interesting contest. Of course both parties were short handed, and had to c:,11 upon some cricketers and ball players for substitute; and as Brooklyn was best favoured in this respect they wou the game, Sadler being of great assistance to them. Tho score stood—Brooklyn, 80 ; YeNV York, 25.
