FRANCE. It is thought likely that the electors will be con voked from the 21st November to vote ; and the Le gislative Corr summoned for the 28th, to count the votes. In such case there would be nothing to pre vent the proclamation of the Empire on the 2d December• It is remarked that the flag which used to float on the central pavilion of the Tuileries has on one or two occasions been hoisted when the President enters the Palace, and healed down when he quits it. The signatures to the petitions and addresses, de manding the establishment of the Empire, are now completed from the department of the Marine; they are said to amount to 70,466, or several thousands more than at the election of the 10th of December. Rumours are again afloat of a Ministerial modifi cation. General d'Hautpoul to be the new Minister at War, General de St. Arnaud going to Algeria as Governor-General; M. de Moray, Minister of the Interior; M. de Persigny, Minister of State; and, as a matter of course, M. Fould, Minister of Finance. The following particulars respecting the escape of a batch of French political prisoners from Cayenne are given in the Independance of Bruasels:— " Wo have received from Paramaribo, the chief town of Dutch Guyana, under date of September 20, a let ter signed Riboulet, and of which we cannot guar antee the exactitude, as the signature is completely unknown to us; but the facts that it contains up- Pear to us to bo of sufficient interest to be com municated to our readers. The facts areas fol lows:--Twelve persons tra ns p orted for political of fences in the affair of the 2d December, to . the island of French Guyana, celled 11 . le de /a Metre, resolved to attempt to recover their liberty. On the Bth of idnight, after the tnspectton, each of September, at ra them, provided with a small bundle containing a few clothes and a little bread, went to a spot agreed upon on the shore. Four boats, not guarded, were moored at a short distance .from . the shore. They swam towards them, and getting into one they cut the others adrift in order to remove the means of pursuit. With out chart or compass, they ventured thus upon the ocea n. For twenty-four hours they proceeded, under a burning sun, and in the midst of the greatest peril, without a drop of water to quench their thirst. In passing near the Safety Islands they were perceived, and were chased for five hours. The night came on, and the breakers in the midst of which they were obliged to navigate, did not permit their pursuers to come ap with them. It may be said, therefore, that they were saved by th© very danger that they risked. A few hours afterwards they struck upon a sand bank, and but for a high wind that came on with the tide, they would not perhaps have been able to get clear of the bank. On the fol lowing day they were again chased near Sinamary. They succeeded at length in reaching a Dutch port called Brandawacht. At first they were taken for escaped convicts, but they succeeded in making their real posi tion known. The commandant, who is of French ori gin, then procured for them all the assistance in his power. After passing three days with this excellent man, they were sent to Paramaribo, where they were in the first instance put into prison, but subsequently put on board the Dutch vessel the Holding, and 48 hours afterwards they had permission to land. It is from this town, as we have stated, that the letter has been addressed to us by one of the persons who escaped, and we should give it if it were only to tranquillize the families of the persons whose names aro subjoined. The author of the letter speaks in high terms of the kindness which he and his companions received from the Dutch officers. They hope that they will not be given up to the French Go vernment; the letter even says that they have received the assurance of the contrary in the name of the Dutch Government. The preeeece in the road-stead of Para maribo of the French steamer the Voyageur inspir ed, however, some uneasiness, and they had com municated their position to the English authori ties at Demerara, and ale , ' to those of the United States. Such are the facts communicated to us, and of which, we repeat, we cannot guarantee the exac titude. The letter, besides, gives the names and pro fessions of the twelve persons who made their escape, and also the departments to which they belonged. They are as follow:—S. Riboulet, professor (Jura); J. Reusse, merchant (Paris); J. Biolet, landowner (Allier); G. Billiard, do. (Allier); Lemaitre, founder (Vivre); A. Tournaire. hootmeker (Ardeche); J. Brnlat, watchmaker (Basses-Alpes); IL Miaille, seaman (Vaucluse); L. Cadette, do. (Marseille); J. Barthelemy, baker (Basses- Alps); Siol, coachmaker (Ardeche.)" JILTING INTELLIGENCE.

LEEDS, OCT. 22.—The imports of wool into London , during the week ending to day wore only 240 bales, of which 98 were from Antwerp, 64 from the Cape of Good Ilope, 47 from Germany, and 31 from Spain. In the Loads market sales in both foreign and colonial wools have only been effected to s limited ext.ent during the past week. The improved rates hitherto obtained at the present series of sales in London have tended to give in creased firmness to prices here. The wooden cloth msrket continues buoyant and brisk. There was a very gond business done in the cloth halls both on Saturday unti Tuesday. Nearly all kinds of cloths of a saleable description wore easily disposed of ; witneys and other goods, suitable for the winter trade, met with rosdy purchasers at good prices. There have also been seine eonsidersble deliveries direct to the warehouses ; altogether a very txcellout business has been done during the week in black cloths. Tho reasons we assigned last week as the princips l cause of the increased activity in the cloth hei!a bsvo no doubt continued their influence, Wool has not osdy maintained the advance of last Thursday, but has gone even a shade higher ; p er h aps lid per lb. may now be quoted as the average advance l en last sales. The autumn trade is generally considered to be drawing' to a closl; at this period of the year. Per. hips there has not been quite so brisk a business done this week in the warehouses, but still a fair home trade generally is doing.

If the expenditure is only kept under firm and ju dicious control there is every reason to hope that this undertaking will be completely successful. The appre hensions, however, that the building will not be ready by the Ist of May seem to increase in strength, and, although a great deal of work has undoubtedly been done, the progress made, until within the last few days, has not been so great as might have been expected. It is perhaps to be regretted that the company did not give themselves more time for the execution of a scheme so extensive, and even still it may be rth their while to consider whether they ought not Beto the opening. The permanent character of the building, its lofty pro portions, the inequalities of the ground on which it stands, the exposure of so elevated a site, and the diffi culty of accomodating a vast number of workmen in such a spot—all present obstacles of a serious kind. The economy of time also in undertakings of this sort has its limits, for things done in a hurry entail extra cost for speed, and are generally found defective. Taking all this into consideration, and remembering the great strain by which the building in Hyde-Park was got ready, it seems unwise in the company to bind themselves to the Ist of May as their opening day. They have no body of volunteers behind their backs, like the 16,000 exhibitors behind the Royal Commission, to furnish the vast interior as soon as it is covered in. They must do the whole, or nearly the whole, work of filling up themselves ; and not only have they this task within, but outside also they have more than 100 acres of land to lay out in the most elaborate style of garden ing. They have, besides, to provide additional railway accommodation to London-bridge, and a new line to the west-end of town • for in the present state of matters a great rush of people to Sydenham would give rise to an amount of confusion and inconvenience which might dis gust the public with the whole undertaking. To effect this and other objects of vital importance to the schemes Parliament must first be appealed to, and we all know what delay that entails. These very obvious considerations, connected with the state and prospects of the new Palace, will, no doubt, when the proper time arrived, force themselves on the attention of the directors, who, in the meantime, may fairly be congratulated on the growing promise of their enterprise as each portion of it acquires shape and con sistency. To the magnificence of the design for the building, to its commanding site, and to the general out line of the scheme for rendering it attractive—all of which have been described in previous notices—there can now be added many interesting details which may help one to appreciate by anticipation what the whole will be when completed. As the exterior arrangements are those which will first attract the attention of the visi tor, lot us give some account of them at the outset. The south-eastern slope of the hill, on the summit of which the new Palace stands, and up which the main approach will lead, is to be laid out in a manner which will ren der it quite as attractive as in the interior of the build ing, it not more so. The upper portion of it—that im mediately in front of the principal facade—to the extent of about 40 acres, and having a breadth of about 1,650 ' feet, will be arranged as a terraced Italian garden, and will be by far the finest thing of the kind in England. The portion of it for which contracts have been com pleted, and which we believe embraces only the first row of terraces, is to cost 50,0001. Sir Joseph Paxton, in his plan of the grounds, has judiciously preserved the same scale of proportions as in the architecture of the building, every dimension being a multiple of eight feet. Harmony of combination is thus greatly promoted, while, to show that effect will not be sacrificed, his grand ap proach and terrace walk will be 96 feet wide, the general ones 4$ feet, and none less than 24 feet. The Italian garden will gradually merge into a less artificial and more English, but still ornate style, the natural lay of the land being less interfered with, and the object being to lead the eye agreeably and gently off to the survey of the surrounding landscape. Over the whole will extend a a system of fountains nearly five times as extensive as those of Versailles on grand days There will be every kind of ornamental device known in works of this sort, and all carried out on the most splendid scale. While the grounds become more elaborately dressed as they approach the building, the fountains become more nu merous, varied, and wonderful as they recede from it. Supplied from great reservoirs placed on the summits of lingo towers, 256 feet high, at either end of the building, the waters will first be seen as cascades tumbling through the arches of the first terrace on the right and left of the grand central archway. As they descend, instead of passing beneath, they will appear to bound over the archways of the lowest terrace, so that visitors may walk under them as at Niagara. On each side of the principal approach they will hurry along in roaring cataracts or rapids, fillin g innumerable terra shaped fountains in their way, and at last terminating far down in the park in two large basins, each 380 ft. broad, in the centre of which will be formed pyramidal fountains of about 180 jets, the largest throwing water to the height of 230 feet—dancing fountains around these, four in number, rising 130 feet, and outside of them, again, 16 others, going 90 feet high. There is nothing of the kind in the world at all approaching in magnificence the display of waterworks contemplated by the plans at this point. The two basins and connecting lobes on either side of the main approach will be from end to end 2,000 feet lung ; and when this is shown the full power of a supply of 2,000 gallons per second will be put in re quisition. Sir Joseph Paxton says that his two great eyramid Fountains will play twice as long as the Grandes Eaux" at Versailles. For ordinary occasions the display will not extend so far down, but will termi nate at the foot of the terraced garden in a splendid fountain, with an immense basin, which is now in pro cess of formation, and round the edge of which it is intended that water should flow continuously in a gigantic bell-shape. The terraced garden will also have eight or nine other fountains, varied in their form ; and while the lower grounds are laid out with illustrations of the wonders of geology, in connected series above we shall have fine statues in Carrara marble, and the bril liant colouring of the flowers. To show the scale on which this last mentioned species of embellishment is to be carried out, it may be mentioned that 50,000 scarlet geraniums have been ordered. These details may help one to conceive what the Crystal Palace Park will be when completed ; and now to give some account of the interior arrangements of the building which are substantially settled, and may, therefore, be with confidence prospectively described. The only important addition to the architectural design since our last notice are the lofty towers at either end, already alluded to, and which are to be 56 feet higher than the centre transept. They are to consist of 10 storeys or landings, from each of which magnificent views will be obtained, while it is expected that from the summits which are to be reached by spiral stair cases, the sea will be visible. The idea of having grand cascades from the tops of these towers has been aban doned. The ground plan of the interior of course resem bles a good deal in its main features that of the building in Hyde-park, bat the distribution into courts has been more followed in the arrangement of the space, and there being no foreign countries to find room for, the company have been able to deal freely with the whole area as they thought best for the general effect. In the nave they intend to have ornamental basins fed by fountains, statues, specimens of architecture, and colossal sculp ture ; as, for instance, Cleopatra's Needle, which there is some reason to hope they may be able to secure. Here, too, at the sides, and occupying each extremity, will be arranged the plants which are to form the winter gar den and conservatory, the interest of the collection being increased by an exhibition of rare birds. Behind, and seen on either hand through a brilliant vegetation, will be placed—on the south side of the main transept— the choicest specimens of textile fabrics. hardware, minerals, See.; on the north side a magnificent series of architectural reproductions, illustrating the different Schools of art from the earliest periods, and arranged in chronological sequence. We shall be able to feast our eyes upon the chiet masterpieces of by-gone ages, from the times of the Assyrian Empire downwards, through the Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Norman, Me diaeval, Renaissance, Elizabethan, French, Flemish, Ita lian, and all revived classical styles. As an example of the manner in which the succession of courts dedicated to this purpose are to be fitted up, it may not be out of place to describe the proposed decorations of the Assy rian Hall, under the uperintendance of Dr. Layard and Mr. Ferguson. The grand facade of this hail, which will be about 100 feet by 26 feet, will be a restoration of one of the principal entrances of the Palace of Khor sabad, and on either side of its chief portals will stand a colossal bull, 19 feet high, with a human head and wings. On either aide of the advanced pylous will he placed back to back two bulls resembling the others, and 15 feet high. At ono end of the hall will be a door way entering into the nave, with casts of the two eollossal human-headed and winged lions, 16 feet high, which L a y ar d brought from Nim road. On the side walls, between the pylous and the end of the facade, will be bas-relies of Assyrian deities and kings and ministering priests, about 10 feet high. triumphs,ere cast a religiousts vt The walls of the int er i or , to a b out h a lf t h e i r h e i g ht, tfhrosmeentehoe moats e r re ep m r o e e senting battles, sieges i m es ter a e n s d ang th A e se c y h r a i s e e n .

To render this department of the new Palace as perfect as possible, Owen Jones and Digby Wyatt have been making a tour of the Continent, with full p o w ers to collect the finest illustrations of ancient and mod e rn art thet they can obtain. With one excep tion, every where in France and Italy they have had the greatest facilities liberally afforded to them; and they report to the board, on quitting the latter country, that they have effected contracts for 1,472 objects.

I. r THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENIN G, OCTOBER 25, 1852. Contracts are being entered into for the construction of masses of rock on a large scale in the open air, whereby picturesque effects will be produced without the violation of geological facts and laws, and this section of the Na tural History department will prove extremely attractive from the restoration of colossal extinct animals which will accompany it. Among the curiosities thus ex hibited will be working models of the mastodon, the glyptodon, the mylodon, the ichthyosanrus, and the plesiosaurus; and if these do not astonish and amuse the ' multitude we shall despair of the fame of such men as Professor Open and Guvier. The Raw Produce Col lection is attracting great attention, especially in Liver pool, where the directors have secured the aid of Mr. Archer, who exhibited in Hyde-park the remarkable and complete illustration of imports at that port. With regard to the space set apart for exhibitors, Mr. Belshaw who is especially charged with the direction of it, has just returned from a visit to the principal seats of our manufacturing industry, and his inquiries go to .prove that the company may expect to realize a large annual income from the lotting of stalls. In describing the in terior arrangements of the building two other points remain to be noticed. The first relates to the disposal of the machinery, which is to be placed in an extensive basement story formed by the rapid fall of the site for the building towards the park. Thus a very convenient arrangement is affected, at the same time that tho architectural grandeur of the principal fagado is greatly heightened by the additional elevation. The second point, and one of much iteportance to the aspect of the interior, is, that the galleries which ran along both sides of the nave in the old palace, obstructing the view, are done away with, and the outside ones are alone retained. In these will be placed the lighter and more valuable articles of manufacture, such as occupied them in Hyde-park. that he was a carver and gilder, of St. Mary-street, Liverpool, WAS brought up on remerni, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel from the White Bear public house, in King-street, Hammersmith. On Thursday evening, the 14th inst., the prisoner en tered the above named public ho use, with a carpet-bag l in his hand, as if he had been travelling, and inquired if ho could be provided with a bed. Airs. Miaward replied in the gffirmative, and he was shown to a bedroom next to one occupied by a young man named Edward Griffith's. The prisoner slept in the room all night, and in the morning, shortly before nine o'clock, he came down stairs with his carpet bag, paid his reckoning without ordering any breakfast, which was the usual custom for per sons to do, and loft the house. No suspicion was then attached to him, but a few minutes afterwards, upon Mrs. Millvvard going up stairs to ascertain if all was right, she discovered Griffiths's box in his bed• room, which contained his wearing apparel, completely empty. She instantly informed her husband that Griffitha' clothes had been stolen, and it was then sus pected that the prisoner was the thief. The prisoner we accordingly pursued and apprehended in the Grove, walking in the direction of Shepherd's Bush. He w as brought back to the house, and Sergeant Lowe, of the T division, who had been called, found the carpet-bag locked. He then searched him, and discovered the key in his pocket. Upon opening the bag the officer found two coats, a waistcoat, two silk handkerchiefs, and other articles, which Griffiths identified as belonging to him. Tho prisoner was discovered wearing three pairs of trou sers, two of which were the property of Griffiths, and also another waistcoat, belonging to the same person. In the pockets of the prisoner Sergeant Lowe found a cap, a cigar case, and gloves, which Griffiths said were his property. He also said that the whole of his property was quite safe in his box when he loft his room about 8 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Paynter committed the prisoner for trial. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY. The Lords of the Admiralty will arrive here to-mor row morning to commence their official inspection. On Wednesday evening their Lordships personally patronize a ball in aid of the Seamen and Marines' Orphan Schouls, at Hollingsworth's rooms. The Niger, 14, screw.sloop, Commander Heath, wont out of harbour to Spithead on Friday evening, and ship end her ammunition yesterday, prior to sailing. It has eitherto been supposed that Jack would desert his ship unless his wages were kept in arrear. That such is not the case has been proved by the fact of the Niger having loft this port without a single " straggler," although paid down to the 30th of September. This is, we believe, a very rare case. The Niger may be manned -a7ith an unusually steady crew, or she may have unusually popu lar officers; but at any rate it augurs well for the new system of monthly payment to the seamen of the fleet. The Sappho, 16, Commander the Hon. A. Cochrane, was inspected, and her crew mustered by the Port-Ad miral, and exercised in gunnery by Captain Chads, C. 8., yesterday, prior to her sailing in the evening to be paid off at Chatham. The Termagant, 24, screw-frigate, Captain Giffard, left Spithead this afternoon for Queenstown to endeavour to make up her crew. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Fremantle will haul out of the fitting basin on Monday. The Oriental Queen,convict-ship, which lately touched at this port for convicts for transportation, and which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday last, carries out a total of 280 felons, mostly on tickets of leave, and a draught of the 11th Regiment, consisting of Ensign Petrie and 49 men, commanded by Major Reid, 99th Regiment. Her destination is Van Diemen's Land. The threo.decker, Marlborough, on the stocks in this dockyard, is ordered to be named the Windsor Castle. Mr. H. Davy, Assistant-Master-Attendant of this dockyard, died on Thursday. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 24 , Her Majesty's steam-vessel Dee, 4, Lieutenant Com mander T. C. Smith, arrived from Woolwich on Friday, and having taken her coal on board, was placed at her sailing moorings on Saturday. Sho is appointed to sail to-morrow (Monday) for the Cap° of Good Hope. Her Majesty's frigate Alarm, 28, Captain G. Ramsay, went up harbour on the 22nd. Her crew will be paid off on Friday, the 28th inst, Tho General Screw Stsam Navigation Company's mail-packet Hellespont, Captain W. Watts, arrived here on Friday, and is appointed to sail to-day with mails for Sierra, Leone and the coast of Africa, having been taken up for the voyage by the Royal African Mail Steam packet Company, preparatory to the completion of thoir own ships. SHEERNESS, SUNDAY, 8 A M. liar Majesty's ship Ganges, 84, l aunc h e d at Bombay in 1821, is undergoing extensive repairs, and will be out of the shipwrights' hands in January next. Although built of teak her stern frame is rotten, and will require to be replaced by a new one. Her Majesty's ship Howe, 120, is reported to be com pleted in her repairs by the Ist of April next year, at which period she will have been in dock nearly two years. Her Majesty's screw line-of-battle ship Agamemnon, 91, Captain Sir T. Maitland, will be fully rigged by the naidOto of November, and ready for sea by the 28th of December, a month earlier than previously intended. For this purpose the hands at present employed on the Granges, 84, and the Miranda steam-sloop, are to be taken off, and, together with all the available force of the dockyard, set to work on her. A portion of the seamen of the London, 90, advanced ship, are daily employed in her equipment. She is entering men slowly and is some 400 short of her complement. When ready for service, sho is to have none other than the best Welch coal, which, causing but little deposit, is better adapted to her tubular boilers than coal procured from the north country. Another ship of the same class is ordered to be built on the same slip from which she was launched. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Tartarus, Lieutenant -Commanding R. 11. Risk, will have made good her defects in a few days, and will be ready for sea by the first week in November. Her Majesty's ship Superb, 80, has been removed from abreast Chatham dockyard to moorings lower down the Medway.

LAW REFORMS.—The first day of Michaelmas Term, when the navy course of procedure in the Court of Chancery comes into operation, is rapidly approach ing, and some anxiety is felt both by professional men and by suitors with roterenee to the working of the new system. Such anxiety is not groundless. The impend ing alterations relate not merely to the practice in the court!, but they also transfer the direction of the details of a suit to the Judges sitting at Chancery in substitu tion of the present Masters in Chancery, and yet to the present moment no general rules and orders for regu lating the form and usode of procedure before the Judges so sitting at Chambers have been promulgated. The practitioner is left without chart or compass, and will be obliged to act in working out a new system without having had thn opportunity of considering the effect and operation of the rules which he will be required to ob serve. 1110RDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—WEDNIIII.. BIM; SATURDAY.—A shocking tragedy has just been perpetrated here, a married woman having drowned her child, aged 15 mouths, in a tub, and afterwards mad e a n attempt on her own ife by hanging herself. The cir cumstances were investigated last evening, by Mr. Ilinchlitre, the district coroner. A number of witnesses were examined, and the following is the gist of their testimony : The alleged murderess, Sarah Smith, is the and the found dead body r wife of a moulder, employed at the ir o n work s of Mr. George Adams, of this town. On Saturday evening last, about five o'clock, Smith, the husband , came home from footinch! his work, but could not find his wife.

When I returned, I found 1 1 it in the tub, with its head downwards. I pulled him 1 1 out, but he was nearly gone. I felt afraid, and I put him in again, and went and hanged myself." She afterwards repeated this statement, and denied that she had killed the child. Mr. Bailey, a surgeon, of Wednesbury, having examined the prisoner on the evening of the alleged murder, gave his opinion that she was labouring under temporary insanity. The jury, after a charge from the coroner, returned a verdict of murder" against Sarah Smith. !PRIC. IS BANIW i ASSURANCE, AND °THEN COld PANIES' STOCK.

The bankrupts, who were stock brokera, of Thregmorten- street, then applied for their certificates, and were opposed by Mr. Lucas, for the executors of Mrs. Sutherland, on the ground of misap propriation of funds entrusted to them for a specific pur pose. The case was adjourned for the production of evidence. The balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. Butler, extends over a year snd a-half prior to the failure, and is in the following form:— __. £ g. d.

Sutherland. That lady authorised the bankrupts to sell out for her stock in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. and to purchase East India Railway shares. This they had failed to do to the extent reciaired ; but some of the shares had since been replaced, leaving a balance of 1,0871. still due to the creditors.

Winstanley (who a short time since committed suicide), trading under the style or firm of Winstanley and Sons, the extennive chemists and drug gists of the Poultry. The debts are about 5,0001.; the amount of assets cannot at present be ascertained with accuracy, but they are expected to be very considerable. Debts to the amount of nearly 3,0001. were proved during the day, and Mr. Homer, of Bucklersbury, wholesale druggist, was unanimously chosen assignee. and he accepted the trust. Messrs. Lawrence, Plows, and Co., are the solicitors to the assignee. It was an uncontested choice. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.— Cockson, who had under gone several examinations upon the charge of having robbed his employers, Messrs. Bowring and Co., of Fen church-street, hosiers, of goods of the value of upwards of 4001, was brought up for final examination. The prisoner, who appeared to be about 18 years old, had been 17 months in tho employment of Mr. Bowring, as errand boy, and during the last twelve months the firm had been losing quantities of gloves and silk hand kerchiefs. Upon taking stock they ascertained that the property missing was to the above-mentioned amount. The prisoner was not suspected until his emplopers were informed that he was in the habit of spending m.uct more money than be received for the performance 01 his duties.

Bowe ring, that the words used by that gentleman to induce his client to state all he knew of the matter referred to the first admission which the prisoner hadanade. Mr. Bowring distinctly deaied that such was the case, and was confirmed by other testimony. Alderman Hooper said the words implying a lenient view of the case wore, it was quite plain, used after the prisoner had confessed to the robbery of the thirty pi eces of handkerchiefs, and therefore could not be con sidered The prisonerae containing was r emit the accusation. a promise or au understanding to did committed for trial to Newgate.

The witnesses stated that the defendant appeared to be slightly under the influence of drink. The defendant strongly denied the latter imputation, and with respect to the assaults, stated that he was very r o u g hl y handl©d by the toll-collectors.

HA.MMERSMITH.—A respectably attired young man, who gave the name of George Oliver, and Mated SIR H. BUL WEB'S MISSION TO ROME. TO TILE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. Protestant Association Office, 6, Serjeant's-inn, Fleet-street, Oct. 22, 1852. Sir,—Allow me to invite the attention of yourself and your readers to the enclosed correspondence of the sub ject of diplomatic relations with the Court of Rome. I have the honour to remain, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES LORD, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Earl of Derby, My Lord,—You were pleased to favour me with a prompt reply to my former letter, dated Juno 26, and to give an unqualified denial to a report to which I had drawn your attention with reference to the alleged mis sion of some diplomatic agent to Rome to treat with the Pope in certain important subjects then re ferred to. Since then a rumour has gone abroad ,ttended with some matters of so circumstantial a kind as to give a probability to it,:and to have impressed many with a belief of its truthfulness. The rumour to which I now refer appeared in substance in the Dioats and other papers. It is to the effect that Sir Henry Bulwer had visited Rome, and when there had an inter view with Cardinal Antonelli, on which occasion Sir Henry is represented as having hinted that it would be advisable for the British Government to accredit to Rome an agent with a higher title than that of consul : and that Cardinal Antonelli replied that it would be time to discuss such a question whe n a papal nuncio was admitted to the Court of England. May I then request of your lordship it formation on the following points : 1. Whether Sir Henry Bulwer has been accredited as ambassador or minister to the Court of Rome, or to act there in any diplomatic relation on behalf of the British Government ? 2. If any communication, official or otherwise, has been made by him or others to her Majesty's Govern ment of any such interviews as is above referred to ? Your lordship's exalted p osition may place you above noticing mere ordinary rumours, but I trust that in a question of so much importance, and in which many feel so strongly, and one thus specially brought under your notice, a speedy and satifactory reply will be afforded. I have the honour to remain, my lord, your lordship's obedient servant, JAMES LORD, Ch a i rman . Oct 18,1852. Downing. street, Oct. 20, 1852. Sir,—l am directed by Lord Derby to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18th inst., in which you request to bo informed whether Sir Henry Bulwer has beenlaceredited as ambassador or minister to the Court of Rome, or to act there in any diplomatic relation on behalf of the British Government ; and also whether any communication, official or otherwise, has been made by him or others to her Majesty's Government of any in terview with Cardinal Antonelli; and I have, in reply to your first question, to acquaint you that Sir Henry Bulwer has not been in any way accredited to the Court of Rome ; and with respect to your second ques tion, that it does not consist with Lord Derby's duty to answer any inquiries as to private and unofficial com munications which rear have passed in conversation be tween Sir Henry and Cardinal Antonelli, or any other person at Romo.—l am, sir, your obedient srvant. James Lord, Esq. W. P. e TALIBOT. The League Banquet at Manchester is now drawing near, and great anxiety is manifested among the corres pondents of the council of the League to secure places.

MODERN CYCLOPEAN WALL.—A recent number of the Allgemeine Zeitung contains an interesting account of a visit which the writer had made to inspect the progress of building a wall in the manner called Cyclopean, at Duaternbrook, near Kiel, in Schleswig-Holstein. He considers the effect of the work and the style of execu tion far superior to any of the numerous remains called by the same name which he had seen in Italy, and goes so far as to give it the preference over any other kind of wall, so far as the plain, vertical surface of the material, apart from ornamental accessories. is concerned. He thinks that the polygonal stones, exerting their pressure in all directions, must insure stronger work than squared stones, however closely jointed, which only act in the di rection of gravity. Indeed, the innumerable many sided and multangular stones of all sizes seem run to gether into one compact mass, of which neither time nor age will get the better. Neither mortar nor any other means of binding the stones together is employed; but ths greatest care is taken in fitting :the granite blocks one into the other, the vacant spaces in the wall as it is carried up being accurately taken off with a lead tape (bleistange) forced with a hammer into all the angles of the openings, and then applied to the fiat hewn face of the block best suited, and next to be brought to its pro per shape by the workman. From the workmen, he learned that the directions given them by the architect were— " Five-sided and six-sided blocks, seldom four-sided ; straight lines, obtuse angles, joint upon angle and angle upon joint; all according to the lead tape, and . only inclined junctions." In fact, all the junctions oa ut .01tofnt coincidingiaebetween jointsbetween the tt whheei tbahpl author ter c hip k toeh s rne w ddr i e e c r toue e f lc at f tre o hd u se n e mt hdd thetea abc horizontal,he thrin ir thi s principle c v e p ry 14 w r i a t obli quitywithout e of construction as appli e d t o th e wor k, and the workmen pointed out to him, th a t eac h stone either pressed or supported, with every one of its sides, however nume rous. He was unable to learn the name of the architect. Herr Malinke was the name of th e b u ild er , w ho h a d said that the cost of the work was less than a squared stone wall that it was much stronger, so that he should have used it in several larger buildings if he had been acquainted with it sooner ; moreover, that this kind of building was to be preferred, because every stone, large or small, can be used up in it. Generally, the writer holds this polygonal or Cyclopean kind of building to he especially applicable in, first, hydraulic works, as it offers nowhere a continuous joint to the water ; second, in for tifications ; third, for railways in substruction and steep coverings, and in the cellar story and even in the next story of large buildings and palaces. In these mortar would be used, not as 3 means of connecting the stone, but only as pointing to the joints , so that the immedi a t e contact of the stone should not be interrupted. In con elation, the writer recommends the adoption of this method of building, accor din g to determined and clearly defined principles and rules, as altogether practical, wherever the material fo r p ol yg onal blocks is found —a method which is at least to us a new one, and not simply a more careful execution of the long-uscd rock wells, or an ornamental imitation of an old style, as in the Wal belle, of which practical method, in short, the Cyclopean wall, near Kiel, is the first example that has been exe cuted in Germany.— The Builder. THE BALLOT.—Mr. Cobden in a letter to the un successful liberal candidate for Montgomery remarks— It is to meet such crying evils that you describe tha t the ballot must be adopted. It is not as a cure for bribery, that I advocate secret voting, so much as a shield against intimidation and coercion. The remedy for briberyis the enlarging of the small constituencies, and the ballot. With 18 millions of people to be repreeented in Perlin by 656 members, there ought not to be any small consti tuencies. THE MARIONETTES IN LITERPOOL.—The perform ances this week have been slightly varied. Mr. A. Browne delivers a new introductory address, and then follows the burlesque of " Bombastus Furioso." Nest, we have a duet from Norm a , th e p er f ormances of the Ethiopian melodists, a comi c song , and the splendid spectacle of " Aladdin." Th e au di ences are numerous , an d if wo may judge by the roars of laughter and thunders of applause with which the efforts of the puppets are grev.et., greater favourites never appeared before the Liverpool public, We are not at all surprised that it snould be so, for the performancoof the Ethiopians alone i s so natural, and withal so ludicrous, that all classes aro provoked thereby to, we had almost said, the most out r..,geous laughter. The scenery is splendid, every scene b e i ng a perfect picture in itself ; and the action of some of the figures la graceful, if not always natural. For children, a v i g i l to Marionettes will be a great treat; and although large numbers attend nightly, they are specially pro vided for in the morning performances, which take place every Slturday.—Liverpool Mercury, Oct. 22, NE.TER DESPAIR.—A couple were married at K ng's COQ lately, who had " wooed" for 37 para. - JOINT-STOCK BARKS.

LUKE, OLD-STREET:DECREASE OF PAUPERISH.—In this extensive and populous parish there has been, in the course of the last few years, a gradual decline in the number of pauper applicants for relief, both of in-door and out-door poor. In the year 1845, the expenditure on account of the poor amounted to about 13,7001., while up to Lady-day this year, it was reduced to 8,700/. In the former year the rate was 3s. 23. in the pound, while in the latter year the annual charge to the ratepayers was 2e. sd. in the pound. This has arisen in consequence of the decrease in the number of paupers. In the year 1845, there were 596 inmates in the workhouse, while this year, up to Lady-day, th ey were diminished to 459. The out-door applicants amounted in the former year to 33.432, and this year to 26,354. The decrease in the rate would have been exp more eni. but that the charge on account of the county d tura has increased from 1,4851. in 1845, to 10,3461. thi s year, and which has boon imposed by the county magis trates.

TROLL,Iro, 3 vols.—The announcement of a new novel by rife cd Trollope is an invitation to a feast of hotly-spiced pa' s j g tickling satire. Whoever will accept the invitatio u t y certain to be vastly amused, and to enjoy a 1 011 :bc repast of laughter. Mrs. Trollop() this time makes t ry high•church and the low-church contribute P re o lo equally to the hilarity of her guests, and she cocaß t a tco. the world of frivolity, fashion, and selfishness to tnio ls „ r ,, largely to their pleasure. The Rev. 'linty Harrings, flit pluralist, good liver, and relentless enemy of Sabto; h e brealsing applewomen—the Rev. James Harrington' o f sun of Puseyism—and the Lady Juli ana , the sow n ,' Evangelism—are the principal objects o f merriment; Ord X although they are treated rather irrcvorantly, senno 11$ ,, ( 1 and home hits are made through them at hypocrisY. o 4 ,: c i , cant. The old, poor, proud, and scheming Lady do ', e l • dington, bar nephew, the young, rich, and sP c)° ,, - 0" wines, are the characters drawn ' f f , t if ;N Lord Goldstable, .and the nil-fascinating, all-eircure i v o " lag; Widow Fitzj Vanity Fair , and their performances are full of htlfs - and bold.—Globe.
