Everyone professes perfect security; all the journals declare that an attempted demonstration has been abandoned in tote. The Government, to judge by the Ministerial policy, are sub limely indifferent to such mateli:l considerations as riots and barricades. Nevertheless every one who has anything to lose will be glad when the 2Gth is well over, and Wednesday morning finds us where Monday evening leaves us. There are always so many disor derly and turbulent spirits in a city like Paris, that it is impossible to guarantee the absence of any demonstration, and in the present excited state of political feeling, with some thousands of commis unemployed and discontented, any excuse for an outbreak is very much to be deplored. The Emperor, as I have told you, is to arrive in Paris on Monday—a wise precaution. The authorities, I understand, are making every effort to prevent, rather than to repress, a disturbance ; nevertheless, if called upon to use force, they will do so unsparingly. Such, at least, is the tenour of Marshal Bazaine's order to the Imperial Guard. Paris is divided into two military circumscriptions, the Boulevard de Sebastopol being the limit. From this line to Vincennes, Marshal Canrobert commands ; from the Boulevard de Sebastopol to Courbevoie, Marshal Bazaine is the chief. Let up hope that there will be no scope for their interference. It is satisfactory to find the Liberal, and even the Radical press, so strongly upholding the cause of public order and the maintenance of law. Nevertheless, the danger of disturbance does not arise so much in political circles as among the ma:niers and others cn strike who have been heard to express their con viction- that the 27th would find them with very different prospects. It has been said that matters are arranged at Com so that MM. Schneider and Rouher shall not be there together, but this is contradicted by the Presse, which affirms that these two personages were both invited on the ISth to remain till the 22nd. 111. Rouhcr, I under stand, is not in the best of humours, and has declared that he came to Compigne for sport rather than for politics. The Emperor does not contemplate any change in his Cabinet until after the 29th November. The kStiecle publishes a letter addressed to M. Raspail by nine members of the ancient Radical Socialist Committee of the Fifth Circumscription. These members declare their conviction that, in the present aspect of affairs, M. Raspail's intended demonstration of the 26th will be inju rious to the revolutionists, and only favourable to those in power. They, therefore, entreat him, in their own names and in those of a considerable portion of the electors, to abandon the idea, reminding him of Isis own counsel to the electors in June, when he warned them to avoid the traps laid for them by the reactionists. To-day they address the same advice to himself. Courage should not exceed pru dence. Should M. Raspail persevere in his determination the doors will not be closed against him. The Reforme of this evening publishes an account of a Private meeting held yesterday, in the Rue do Lyon, at which fifteen hundred persons were present. Jules Simon, Gamier-Pages, and other Radicals were at the meeting, and were warmly received. M. Jules Simon explained the absence of the other invited de p uties, by stating that Gambetta was still au invalid, and that Pelletan and Ferry were attending another meeting in the Rue Jacob, while Dance]. had attended a third, the name of which did not transpire. You will see, therefore, that meetings are all the fashion. M. Simon referred to the Clichy affair, and denied that ne was insulted. He should always, he said, be ready to account for his conduct to assemblies that were really democratic. He concluded his address by a forcible appeal against any demonstration on the 26th. What folly, he said, would it be to act on a day of which the Government had been warned for the last two months. We have against us, he said, a conspiracy of falsehood and the Chassepot. Let us keep away from the Place de la Concorde, and swear that we will not fight until we have prepared our batteries. The Empire, he thought, must fall beneath the attacks of universal suffrage. By two Acts it had signed its own death war rant—by the law of public safety and by the Mexican War. A citizen who was present demanded an official inquiry into the "assassination" at Anbin, and Jules Simon announced that he was glad to be able to state pub licly that this inquiry would take place, and that the Left were preparing for it. The assembly broke up amid cries of " Vive la Republique." The Emperor returns to Paris on Sunday, and a grand review will, it is expected, take place the next day on the Champ de Mars. The object is the presentation of Marshal Bazaine, the now commander, to the Guards. The Park, is indignant at being called the official organ of the master drapers, and declares that it only seeks to impart information and convey warnings in respect to the movement. There is little fresh news on the sub ject to-day. The heads of the establishments adhere firmly to their resolution, and are quite overwhelmed by applications for engagements, so that those on strike will find all the doors shut against them should they evince a desire to resume their old employments. The most arbitrary demands are put forward by the Syndical Chamber of the assistants. One establishment which had entertained the idea of a compromise, was compelled to relinquish the notion and join the other large houses in their resistance. In another establishment the old hands have been taken back without conditions. The Gaulois says that the strike of the omnibus-drivers will not take place, the company having accorded the addi tional franc per day demanded. The journeymen gilders of Paris have struck, in conse quence of the decision of the Syndical Chamber of masters, which reduced the increase of wages they had obtained. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on Loudon is 251. 15.1 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 res.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at CO days sight was 1071 per cent. on the 19th inst. At this rate there would be a loss on tho transmission of gold from the United States. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXIIIBITION.—The latest at traction at this charming exhibition is a most admirably executed portrait model of Lord Byron. The controversy which has lately occupied the public mind makes this new addition at the present moment perhaps the most into resting in Madame Tussaud's collection.

MAELBOLOG II STREET. INCORRIGIBLE.- - Jimes Gand, a young man; described as a tailor, was charged before Mr. Knox with frequenting Regent-street and Oxford-street as a suspected person, and also with having a carriage rug in his possession, supposed to be stolen. The evidence of Shrives, a divisional detective, and Webb, 112 C, showed that yesterday afternoon they saw the prisoner and two others dodging about and looking into carriages, and they afterwards saw them with the carriage rug in their possession. The rug was thrown away by one of them and picket up by the officers, who took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner said he had tried to get situations, but could not. Ho was iu bad health. Mr. Knox said the prisoner might not be well, but ho appeared to be capable of going, about fur an improper purpose. Had the prisOner behaved properly when he came out of prison and have come to him he would have assisted him. The prisoner would be committed fur three mouths with hard labour. BOW-STREET. John Hobson, a gentlemanly dressed man, was placed at the bar on remand charged with pointing a loaded pistol at Mr. P. Corrie, the musical director at the Royal Music Hall, Holborn. It will be recollected that the prisoner was refused ad mission to the Music- Hall, he being in a state of intoxi cation when he presented himself at the hall, and this appeared to irritate him, and he then raised a revolver which he held in his hand and threatened to• shoot Mr. Corrie. The pistol was taken from him, and it was found to be loaded in each of the chambers. Sergeant Mathews, who had charge of the case, said he had made inquiry, and found that the pistol was purchased at a shop in Holborn a few hours before the prisoner threatened Mr. Corrie. It was loaded for the prisoner by the shopman. Mr. Flowers said it was a most uncourteous thing for a shopman to do, load a revolver for a person under the in fluence of drink. A man might have been shot dead through such a proceeding, but fortunately the prisoner bad not done any damage, and as he seemed to regret hie conduct he should call upon him to find two sureties in £2O each for his good behaviour for six months. If he could not - do that it appeared to him (Mr. Flowers) that he ought not to go at large. On.the application of Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the prisoner, the magistrate said one surety in £lO would do as well. The prisoner was put back until bail was inattendance. THAMES. A ROMANTIC WOMAN.—ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—EIIen Mansen, a woman about 25 years of age, was brought be fore Mr. Paget, with being drunk and disorderly last night, and attempting to commit suicide. On Tuesday last the prisoner was before Mr. Woolrych, at this court, en a charge of being drunk and disorderly. She was then Ellen Hickie, and a sailor said he was prepared to marry her, with all her faults, and Mr. Woolrych said, " well, take her away.marry her,and keep her from strong drinks." He did marry her, directly after he left the court, at a neighbouring church, and the bride,bridegroorn, and friends made a jolly day of it, and all the parties were uncom monly merry. Yesterday the prisoner got tipsy again, and ut a late hour she repaired to that modern tarpeian rock, the swivel bridge over the lock of the . London Dock. in New Gravel-lane, and then made an attempt to drown herself by getting over the railings, but instead of fall ing into the water she fell into the recess in which the bridge swings, and was seriously hurt. A pclice-con stable named Thomas Gurant, 432 K, procured assist ance and carried her to the station-house. Mr. Paget—ls this:woman in a sound state of mind ? A very healthy, robust -looking sailor here got into the witness-box and said she is right enough, sir ; she was three sheets in the wind last night, and wanted to tumble into the water. Mr. Faget —ls it true you married her last Thursday ? The sailor—Yes, sir; but I had known her eight years before that, and always stopped with her when I came home. The prisoner said she was very sorry, and would not do it again. Mr. Paget—This is very shocking indeed. You have now a chance of becoming a decent and respectable woman if you lead a life of sobriety, but you will come to sorrow and ruin if you indulge in strong drinks. You have had a narrow escape of your life. Take her home with you Manse; and keep her sober. SPORTING PROPIIECIES. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. " BELL'S LIFE." Criterion Stakes—Kingcraft.

Many important questions were discussed on Thursday at the meetings of the Church Conference in Hull. A sub ject of much interest was introduced by Mr. Champney, who bad, however, been unfortunate :enough to lose on his way to the •meeting the paper he meant to read on the means by which the ministrations of the Church may be mach most usofal to thO werkinz classes. Mr. Champncy bclicvz..l that the wcrlzin3 men could be Lest reached through thcirwives, and no effectual good would, ho thought, be done until the weincn were better instructed and More religiously educated. Canon Trevor denied that there was any particular alienation from the Church among the working classes, who had supplied most of their Sunday-school teachers. The Rev. P. Gee said it was but lately that the Church had begun to go forth into the highways to the masses of the people. He thought the great want was more co-operation on the part of lay members. The clergy bad the reins of administration too much gathered up in their own hands, and the chasm between them and the working classes needed to be filled up by lay helpers from the professional, trading, and artisan classes. Coming to the question of Church services, the same speaker advocated the division of the morning service, which was too long for sustained attention, the omission of one of the prayers for the Queen, and the reduction in the length of the lessons. Preaching which was once over rated in the English Church wainow too little valued, and extemporary preaching was, he thought, far more effective than written sermons. Sin liar views were advocated by other speakers, and were endorsed by a working man, who said his fellows strongly objected to Ritualism. A very valuable paper was subsequently read by Mr. Travis, stipendiary magistrate, on the special hindrances to the moral condition of large towns. The pressure of poverty, the existence of the criminal classes, and the prevalence of intemperance, were especially dwelt upon. The vice of intemperance, Mr. Travis declared existed in our great towns and cities to an appalling egtent, no class was beyond its baneful in fluence, while the results produced by it wore beyond cal culation. In Liverpool, of 26,000 persons taken into cus tody in 1563, 17,000 were cases of drunkenness, in many instances accompanied by acts of vio- lence. In Manchester the number in custody was 19,000, of which 10,000 were cases of drunkenness. In Hull itself of 2,700 in custody about 700 were for the same offence. Mr. Travis said he dared not surmise how much must be added to those figures to give the total numbers of those who indulged to excess. For many years the laws affecting to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors had operated in the most deplorable They had offered facilities for the indulgence of a passion for drink, regardless of the consequences entailed on society at large or the injury inflicted on individuals. Persons of infamous character had found no difficulty in obtaining beerhouso licenses,while their house had afforded a resort for thieies and other bad characters. Intownslike Hull the evil was aggravated by the improvidence of sailors who often were stripped within a week of every farthing they possessed at the end of a long voyage. The education of the children of the poor was another vital question, and no man, in Mr. Travis's opinion, should bo suffered to bring up a family in crime. After discussicns had been held on the difficulties of rural manner. districts and the division cf larishes, the .A.rchbiship of YORK made a short spee. - :h. He was bound, he said, to differ from the views of one cr two speakers with regard to the propriety of shtrt cuing the Church services, but he was glad to hear their opinions. He confessed that as the general debate proceeded he felt more and more the greatness of the task beforo them in coping with the evils described and the inadequacy of the remedies propcsed. The great source of power over the evil was sympathy with the class whose evil they would alleviate, and the - power of manifesting that Sympathy was not given to every man. He then alluded to the et( mpralising influence of the present system of hiring farm servants, and thought the clergy might do something to improve it. In conclusion, the Archbishop alluded to the importance of the clergy men being assisted with the counsels of the laymen of their parishes. RATES OF FREIGHT AND CHARTER. (From the Shipping and Mercantile Ga:ette) The tonnage loading on the birth for India, China, and the Cape of Good Hope amounts to 56,111 tons, and for Australia and New Zealand to 41,549 tons. There has been no alteration in the condition of the freight market since the last report, but there is less disen gaged tonnage in port suitable for the India and Australian ports. Most of the order.; to the East for coal are at rates which are too low to induce much business, and there have consequently been but few charters effected during the last week or so. Tonnage can, however, be placed at fair rates for Bussorah, Jeddah, and Muscat, but not more than 1;30 is now obtainable for Bombay, 325. to 335. forAden,24s. for Singapore, and 30s. for Hong Kong. Homewards, tonnage is still in fair request from the Rico Ports at 70s. From Madras and Coast 60s. per ten is offered; and, owing to the somewhat indifferent reports which aro circulated with reference to the prospects of the crop in Ceylon, charterers from that quarter are not anxious to close with ton nage at anything over 625. 6d. But little, if anything, is doing in coal from Newcastle (Australia) to the various India and China ports. Business outwards to the West Coast of America remain dull, and there is also only a limited demand for tonnage homewards. Rates from the Guano Islands are 645. Havre 60s. Mauritius. For the United States the orders to take up tonnage for iron are very limited. There is a small parcel of iron for New York from Wales at about 17s. and 5 per cent. There is a tolerably active inquiry for tonnage from the Cotton Ports for Liverpool. The rates for coal to the West Indies exhibit a slight downward tendency, those for Martinique and St. Thomas having experienced a fall of is. per ton since the last report. Brazil coal freights are much the same, with the exception of Maranham, which is now 19s. Gd. Chartering from the West Indies for sugar, Sze., is just now beginning to engage some attention, though, as the lay days do not commence before February or March, none but backward ships are entertained. The Mediterranean coal trade is somewhat more active, though the Alexandria rate from the North is 10s. to Ll per keel lower. Malta, Constantinople, and Odessa freights are firmer. Homewards, for a steamer, 9s. to 9s. 3d. can be done from Galatz. There is nothing to be done at tho moment from Alexandria for sailing vessels. A few engagements have been entered into for spring loading from the Azoff and neighbouring districts. Steamers are required from Wales to Cronstadt at 355. per ton iron, but few owners are disposed to send their boats so late in the season. The T ablet denies the assertion that the Archbishop of Westminster is appointed to move the dogma of the Papal Infallibility at the coming Council. The statement is "de void of any foundation whatever." Dr. Temple has been memorialised by a section of the Cornish clergy, "as a Christian man, to do what he can to relieve the anxiety and distress felt by great numbers both cf the laity and the clergy." The statement that Dr. Temple has arrived at Exeter is incorrect. The journey of the Emperor of Austria to the East is said to cause much satisfaction to the Cabinet of the Tui leries, and the Emperor Napoleon is stated to have recently written a letter to Francis Joseph in that sense. Since Charles XII. of Sweden, the Emperor of Austria will be the first monarch to enter Stamboul. The Roman Catholic bishop and clergy of Limerick have passed rosolutions on the Irish land question. They aro in favour of security of tenure at a fair rent, and some equitable provisions for agricultural labourers; and say that any settlement of the question which does not include these arrangements must necessarily fail to remove the evils which affect public security and agricultural and commercial progress. MARKE2 S-2 HIS DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Oct, 23.—Sales probably 10,000 bales. The market firm IRISH FIXTURES FOR 1870.—Three important meetings have just been fixed, namely, the Irish National Hunt and Kildare Steeplechase for April 19 and 20, County Louth and Ardee May 10 and 11, and Baldoyle 17 and 18, the week following Chester. We trust that other committees will follow the example of the above and ar range their meetings at once, so as to avoid the injudi cious system of clashing. Mandrake made his first appearance this season in the Stewards' Cup at Kelso, and the easy defeat which he sus tained from Champagne Charlie is a proof that he does not possess the form which gained him such an honest re putation last year. THE KELSO OBJECTION.—The objection lodged against Miss Middleton, the winner of the Beaumont Stakes on Tuesday, for having been in a tiainiug stable, was over ruled on the following day. CARLISLE STEEPLECHASES. —The proposal to hold a steeplechase meeting at Carlisle in tte ensuing winter, under the auspices and management of the Carlisle race committee, has, we hear, fallen through. Mr. F. Bower's bay gelding by Prime Minister out of Pluck, 3 yrs, cut up so indifferently in his race at Chelten ham that he was parted with for a " fiver." The filly by Colsterdale out of Fair Melrose, 2 yrs, was sold to Mr. G. Taylor for 54gs after winning the Selling Stakes at Curragh on Wednesday last. ....ten. o...mtanit SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
