FRANCE. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The illoniteztr continues to be filled with lists of addresses for the Empire, and we gather from the country papers that the prefects, by proclamations to the people and other means, are stimulating them to one more general manifestation in favour of their Emperor Louis Napoleon 111. The preparation of the electoral lists has com menced. It appears that the prefects have reoeived instructions to direct their attention to two principal points—to inscribe the names of all that have a right to vote, and to remove from the lists all names that ought not to be there, either in consequence of the death of the parties, change of residence, or other causes. From these improper entries on the lists, the number of abstentions appear greater than it really is, a state of things which it is most desirable to put an end to. Abd-el Kader left (on Tuesday) for Amboise. After breakfasting at his hotel in company with General Daumas, the Emir proceeded to the Orleans railway terminus, accompanied by the General, Com mandant Boisonnett, and the two Arabs who arrived With him in Paris. He was followed by a number of persons, who anxiously pressed forward to see and salute him, and at the station a crowd was very soon collected for the same purpose. General Daumas took leave of the Emir at the terminus.

GERMANY. The Count Thun Hohenstein is appointed Austrian Ambassador to the Court of Prussia. In the approaching interview between the Emperors of Austria and Russia at Warsaw, the deliberations will be chiefly on the Oriental question ; the sue cession to the Throne of Greece, and the independence of Montenegro, being the most prominent. The Anzieger Zeitung of the 6th inst., has the fol lowing :—" It is known that Russia has acknow ledged the independence of Montenegro, the small mountain fastness wedged i❑ between Austria and Turkey. The Porte has protested against this, and the Prince of Montenegro has now addressed himself to Austria, claiming the recognition of his independence by that power. Russia, likewise, has made an appli cation to our Government for the independence of this State, which it is presumed will not be withheld. The Prince of Montenegro is expected in the course of this week." A Vienna journal states that when the Austrian Government shall have called in the notes which are !o be annulled this year, the Bank of Vienna will be 1 !1 a better financial position than before the revolu tion of 1848. The journal adds :—" Thus the wounds of the last four years will have been cicatrised." The tready between Hanover and Brunswick has at length been concluded for the southern railways respecting the southern railways on the Bruns wick territory, and respecting the junction of the Marburg line to the southern line. The King of Hanover has appointed the following officers to act as a deputation to attend the funeral of the Duke of Wellington :—General Halket, Lieut.- Colonel Von Marenholn, Colonel Porten, Queen's hussars, and Lieut.-Colonel Wiste. BELGIUM. The King returned from Laeken to Brussels at toon on Sunday, and his Majesty presided at a Cabi net Council. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and the Princess have left for England. They will first go to Windsor Castle, and then to London, with their i lugust relative the ex-Queen, in order to be present at the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. Their Royal Highnesses will be absent about 15 days. They rill, most probably, visit Claremont, and re-embark from the Isle of Wight on their return to Ostend. THE SCREW STEAMSHIP GREAT BRITAIN.

Yesterday, a very numerous meeting of the members of the Church of England was held at the Freemascris' Tavern, Great Queen-street, for the purpose of adopting resolutions on the attempted introduction of auricular confession, and on the threatened revival of convocation. The chair was taken at 12 o'clock by the Earl of Shaftesbury. Amongst those present on the occasion we noticed the Earl of Cavan, Lord Thomas Cecil, the Hon. and Rev. 11. M. Villiers, Lord H. Cholmondeley, M.P., Sir H. Verney. the Rev. Lord Wriothesly Rus sel, Mr. Colquhoun, Rev. H. Stowell, Rev. E. Auriol, Rev. J. Mark, Captain Trotter, General Sir Peregrine Maitland, lion. Captain F. Maude, Admiral Vernon Harcourt, Sir George Pollock, 1)r. Cowan, Rev. C. Kemble, Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Rev. H. Venn, Mr. Thornton, R. E. L. Bevan, Mr. M.Queen, Rev. G. A. Rogers, Rev. J. Miller, Ven. Archdeacon Hill, Rev. T. Tate, Sec. The meeting was opened with a prayer by the Rev. Dr. Menon. The CHAIRMAN, who on rising to open the proceed in.'s was received with loud and general cheering said : Le'dies and gentlemen, and brother P. otestants of the Church of England,—We are assembled here again in e great crisis of the Church, not so much to deliberate on some positive course of action as to take counsel, and to give to .each other mutual iinstruction and encourage ment, and to pass resolutions which shall show our (I( - termination to persevere until we shell have applied, by God's blessing, to these great mischiefs some decisive and some final remedy. (Cheers.) Now many, I understand, have taken (objection to our course, thinking that a meeting such us this was Lot necessary at the pre sent moment. He, indeed, should have been very glad to have been spared the necessity of holding such a meeting, but it was inevitable. The recent pro ceedings which had been developed in many parts of the United Kingdom—l now more particularly allude to Brighton and Plymouth—the recent disclosures that have been made, have revealed to us a great and growing cor ruption, and they have also revealed to us our many infirmities to resist the progress of that great and grow ing corruption. (Applause.) An effort was made to see whether these matters could not be brought before the ecclesiastical courts for the object of obtaining either the prohibition or censure of these tribunals iu regard of such proceedings; but the best opinions on matters of this kind declared, setting aside the merits of the case, that legally and technically it could not be handled in the ecclesiastical courts. An attempt was then made to bring the matter before the criminal courts of the realm; but again, those best versed in such matters gave it as their decided opinion that the case was not in a form to be produced before the criminal courts. A third attempt was then made by an appeal to the Primate of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to see how he could bring his power to bear to put a prohibition on the pro gress of these practices; but that great and worthy Prelate—(Cheers)—gave it as his opinion that he was wholly powerless in the matter. Thus, then, we were left to make our appeal to public opinion —(Cheers) — and therefore it is to public opinion we come—(Hear) — under God's blessing, to make that appeal, and to an nounce our determination and perseverance, that we will never desist until, by the Almighty's blessing, we shall be heard and felt through the length and breadth of the laud. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, we have been somewhat criticised fur bringing into juxtaposition convocation and the confessional. It appears to me that they are so much akin and so nearly inseparable that I would just as soon think of separating in the Guildhall Gog from Magog. (" Hear, hear," and laughter) The convocation lam speaking of is the convocation as extinguished in the year 1717—the convocation animated by the worst sen timents and views of priestly despotism—(Cheers)—ae naturally, and, to use a modern phrase, nominally resort to the confessional as the best and most effectual engine of priestly domination. (Applause.) But we are not here, my friends, to denounce every form of church synod and ecclesiastical assembly. (Hear, hear.) We ere not here to deny the expediency of it, or the right of the Church to have some form of, for the purposes of selfsregulation ; but we aro here to denounce the revival of that convocation that was partly extinguished in the last century ; but we are here to deny to that convoca tion, if called together, the power and right of suggesting the plan and the limits of its own reform—(Hear, hear) — and we are here to say that we will not submit to any clerical parliament—(Cheers)—that the laity of the Church should be made mere hewers of wood and drawers of water to a select knot of sacerdotal digni taries. (Hear, hear.) To form our church government upon a reasonable and moderate foundation, in which the laity of the Church shall have not only a great but a dominant share, is well worthy of consideration. But es for that other convocation that was swept away in 1717, I can only express a hope, in which I hope you will all concur—that should there be any attempt to revise it, her most gracious Majesty will follow the example of her great predecessor—and, to use the lan guage of that great historian, Mr. Hallam, that she will "sprinkle a little dust upon the angry insects." (Laughter.) But the principal ground on which our de termination this day should be based, was the attempted revival of the confessional—(Hear, bear)—in many parts of the realm ; and this has acquired a greater import ance, because it is expected that one of our bishops has declared ex cathedra, and officially, that the practice of the confessional is not inconsistent with the doctrines of the Church of England. (Hisses.) Now, I was curious upon that point, and last night, having half an hour's leisure, I just turned over the writings of some of our older bishops, to ace what was the opinion of these dig nitaries upon the subject of the confessional. Because, after all, one bishop may be as good as another, how ever great the claims and assumptions of that other may be. (Laughter.) I turned to the works of Archbishop Grindle, and in his injunction to the York laity, he says—" No persons shall use the beads, or pray on beads or knots, or any other superstitious thing, nor shall he resort to auricular confession to any Popish priest, at Lent or any,other time." Again, Bishop Hooper says, in one of his sermons—" Before the receiving of the sa crament, the receiver of it shall prepare and make ready his mind towards God ; he shall from the bottom of his heart, confess his fault and his sins. I make no mention here," says he, " of auricular confession, as though that was a thing necessary to be done before or after receiv ing the sacrament." And ho assigned his reasons, and all of you know what a man Bishop Hooper was, " for," says be, " confession is not of God. (Cheers.) Bishop Pilkington quotes with approval writers who say, that shriving to a priest was not commanded by God, but invented by man. He goes on to say—" There has been nothing more profitable to the Pope than ear-shriv ing has, besides much filthiness done by it, fur no time was fitter to woo or work their feats in without sus picion than shriving time." He afterwards proceeds as follows—" If confession might be taken away, as it here appears it was, as not so necessary to salvation, we dis obey not the Church in leaving it off, seeing so many holy men have done without it." (Hear, hear.) We are here then to protest against the revival of the con fessional. (Hear, hear.) We protest against it as in consistent with the spiritual rights of the laity of all the Protestant Churches, and especially of the members of the Church of England. (Cheers.) We protest it not only as inconsistent with the doctrines Church of England, but we protest again st it as incon which against a i thenst sistent with the Word of God—(Hear, hear) .- Word of God, while it leaves us to the ministration of the clergy in the due administration of the Sacrament and all our Church services, declares that we are one and all " kings and priests under God." I might quote to you many other bishops; but not to detain you further, I may say I believe there is but one bishop who has been yet found in the Church of England to maintain so m onstrous a proposition? (Loud applause.) To be sure, he may be a bishop the like of whom was never before seen, and upon whose like we shall never look again—(Laughter)—but, nevertheless, be is but a unit, and this unit will never outweigh the prodigious testi mony which I have quoted to you from the works of the early English authors. Very well, here we are, abandoned, I do not hesitate to say, by those who should take the lead in this great matter—(Hear, hear) —who should be found in the front of the battle. We come here to-day, a body of laymen, aided by our clerical friends, who share with us our feelings, sympathize with our rights, and who, with God's blessing. will, conjointly with us, maintain the battle of the truth. (Loud cheers.) We come here to appeal to public opinion, and to implore God's grace that he would so govern that opinion that we should be as stanch for the truth as our enemies are stanch for error. (" Hear, bear," and loud cheers.) And lam quite sure that I am not going too far when I say that this is the greatest crisis of the Church of England—(Hear, hear) — and that unless by the blessing of God we shall be able to beat back this great conspiracy upon our political rights and spiritual privileges—l am not going too far when I say all those who have examined recorded his tory will concur with me, that wo shall live to see a state of things, should this be revived and established with the concurrence of the people of England, that will recal tho tyranny of the Church of Rome, and the blasphemies of anti-Christ. (Loud and prolonged cheer in Sir H. VERNEY proposed the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That while this meeting desires thankfully to acknowledge her Majesty's gracious recep tion of the memorial from lay members of the Church of England agreed to in December, 1850, it feels the necessity of renewing the protest then recorded against which, in various quarters, are still being made to assi milate the doctrines and practices of the Church of England to those of the apostate Church of Rome. The Earl of CAVAN, who said he had but just returned from Florence, where he formed one of the deputation in favour of the Madiais, seconded the resolution. The deputation had not obtained permission to visit the Ma- MEAT MARKETS. diais, but the Earl of Roden had visited them on Sunday SOUTHALL, Nov. 10.—Prime beasts sold re stilly at last, and he was not without hope that they would finally succeed in obtaining the release of their poor fully last week's prices.

'But he denied it. The Church of Rome was the mother of harlots and abominations. She was a mother that would nourish them with blood, and not 1 with the pore milk of a rnother. (Hear, hoer.) Ho wished the bishops of the Church hod come fonvard in a body, in the face Of the laity and of the country, to maintain the truth and purity of the Church of England, and to declare that, so far from countenancing, the Church of England recoiled with horror from the auri ceder confession of the Church of Rome. (Hear, hear.) He viewed with approbation the recent proclamation in Ireland, and he hoped the policy which dictated it would be followed out in England. Let them only remain true to the Church of England ; let them stand with the laity of England. They had traitors within their own vamp ; whilst they were menaced by an usurper who is about to assume the imperial title of France, they were also menaced by a combination of Popish Europe, goaded on by Jesuitical intrigue ; but let her Majesty's ministers take courage, and take their stand on Gospel truth and liberty ; let them do justice to all men, but never let them give political power to these men, who were determined to use it fur the destruction of their freedom, their bibles, and their lives. (Cheers.) Let her Majesty's Ministers adopt this course, and they Y. ill have the prayers of the devout, the syne athies of the devout, and the heart of Old England with them. (Cheers.) Lot the helm of the State be put about, the country would then steer by the chart of that Protestant Leith ehich their martyred forefathers had bequeathed to them ; and though France and Austria, the Pope and Anti-Christ, were oppose d to them, he had nu fear for the result. The Reverend Gentlaman sat down amidst loud cheers. 'l'he resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. ComennouN moved the next resolution, as fol lows:—" Teat it seems especially needful, at the present moment, to withstand the sedulous endeavours now put torch in various parts of the country to bring back into the Church the practice of auricular confession and the Romish doctrine of priestly abs o lution. In opposition to which, this meeting solemnly adheres to the declarations of God's Word, and of the Church of England, that God ' hath promised forgiveness of sins to all them that, with hearty repentance and true faith, turn to Him.' To this Divine forgiveness, which is instant and complete, no man can add; and from it no man can take away. W hile, on the other hand, without this hearty repentance and true faith there is no forgiveness; and in such cases the absolution of the priest is calculated only to delude and harden. Ohjecting, then, first to this fundamental error of the supposed efficacy attending the absolution of a priest, this meeting further protests against the practice which results from it, of periodical auricular confession, as a means by which that absolution is to be attained ; a practice most wisely expelled from the Church of England at the Reformation , and the revival of which involves, on the one hand, a departure from sound doctrine as to the forgivene ss of sins, while it leads, on the other, to prurient discussions and develop ments of vice, which are utterly opposed to the cultiva tion of purity and business." The Rev. Mr. MAGEE, who seconded the resolution, said he thanked God, for seeing, as ho did that day, the clergy and laity of the Church of England coming for ward in defence of the institution. (Hear, hear.) If the laity came forward throughout the country as they did on that day, the Church of Eng l and would be saved. (Hear.) The Church was in danger , and tho co-opera tion Eonlgtland the con scientiously believe that the Reformation was a great evil—the other which comcientiously believe that it was a great blessing. One would cart./ the people back to the era before the Reformation, the oth er would main tain the Reformation. The one pa tt y desi red to intro duce auricular confession in its gr ossest fo rm amongst them, but if the people held firm they, could never in troduce confession in this country. (Cheers.) The resolution was supported by Dlr. J. C. WOOD, and afterwards carried unanimously. Mr. BAXTER proposed the third resolution, as follows: —" That, in connexion with these attempts to corr u p t and debase the doctrines and practices of the Church o f England, this meeting must prot est against the remedy which is proposed by the very pa rties who are mos t active in those endeavours. It is demanded b y t h em, that all such questions shall be referred to the decision of a body, long practically defunct, but still known by the name of Convocation. Of that body it is sufficient to say, that no layman has any seat in it, nor any voice in the election of those of whom it is co m p osed. B y s uch a body as this, therefore, this meeting demands, that the laws of the Church of England be not changed. Nor can it for a moment admit, that a b o dy so constituted as to be unfit to make a single law, may yet be fit to frame a constitution. Whatever, therefore, may be thought of the claim in general, that the Church should have liberty to meet in some kind of Sy nod or assembly, it appears to this meeting beyond a det lbt that that Convo cation which was arrested in its c areer of turbu l ence more than a century since, is a body wholl y and entir ely unfit to be trusted with the condu ct of affairs in the present difficult circumstances of the Church of Eng land." Mr. Commas seconded the resolution. He thought they ought to thank the Protestan t Defence Committee for obtaining such an expression of op inion as th ey he a rd that day. The resolution was put, and carried unanimously. Admiral HARCOCrRT proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman. 'The Rev. D. WILSON seconded the resolution, and in doing so hoped that they would be encouraged by what had taken place that day' to go oa in defence of those pure and holy principles which were an honour to their Church and to the nation. The motion was pest and carrieie unanimously. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said he he not heard a singles, ntiment uttered at that meetingin which he did not concur. They had made a great demonstra tive meeting in support of Protestant principles, and he hoped that when the occasion arose again they would be ready to show, as they did that day, that there was a party in the Church who wore prepared to sacrifice everything to what they believed to be the cause of Christ Jesus. (Cheers.) Let them recollect that these meetings produced but a temporary effect, and that it was for them, in their various circles, to keep the flame alive. The meeting then separated. THE EARTHQUAKE ON TUESDAY. The earthquake shock, which we described yesterday, seems to have been felt over a wider extent of country than was known at the time we then wrote. The sensa tions and noise caused by the vibratory motion appear to have been nearly the same at the different points where they were perceived ; and so far as we are at present informed, no casualty of any importance has arisen from the phenomenon. Commencing from the shores o f D u bli n an d Wi c kl ow and taking nearly . a circular direction, the shock appears to have been sensibly felt as far aa Gl ouces t er , w h ere , from our present information, it se ems to h ave b een ex hausted. The disturbances, upon a comparison of time, were as nearly as possible simultaneous ; at least there is no appreciable difference in the times they are re ported to have been perceived in different places. The course taken was across the Irish channel—where, how ever, the passengers in the ordinary packets, running between Kingstown and Liverpool and Kingstown and Holyhead, did not perceive any indications of the phe nomenon—along the coast of North Wales, through the principal districts of South Lancashire, and along the edges of Cheshire and Shropshire into Gloucestershire. The weather, for several days previously had been wet and sultry, with a ware\ and unseasonable atmosphere. On Monday afternoon, about five o'clock, the thermo meter, particularly in th e ne i gh b ourhoo d o f Li ver p oo l, ranged between 50 and 60 degs., and, during the night, it rose, although much h eavy ra i n h a d f a ll en . There must evidently have been some electric fluid at the ob servable a very - umlbous appearance in the atmosphere. 1 t rr im he e, la a s s t s a h b o o c u k t otfhe Period of the shock there was a 8 emewhat similar description, which WAS experienced with var i ous d egrees o f i n t e nsity i n Lancashire,. throughout the gr ea t er p a rt of the county, and ithe ad jacent districts of Westmoreland, Cumber land,Cheshire: Flintshire, and th e I s le of Man, took place a few minutes b e f ore one o ' c l oc k on the morn ing of Friday, Meech 17, 1843. On that occasion, as o n the present, 8 9aeswhat varying statements were made es to the duration and sever ity o f t h e visitation, but there was a 'pate slat difference in the state of the we ather and of the atmosphere. On that occasion the barometer was very low, not more than 29.75, having been gradual l y rollin g for two days previously, and the day was fine, the w in d b e i ng n orth-west. The ther mometer material differenc e f rom t h e s t a t e of the atmo s ph ere t o Monday e ldaustring the night was then 39, showing a last. After the last shock in 1843 , accounts were received ceived from the West Indies announcing that a severe earthquake had taken place there about the same time, e ficed. Many are in c li ne d to think that there has again bnaannodththesrt a great number of lives had been sacri ficed. fearful earthquake in one of those countries most liable to such convulsions of nature, whilst others feel great series of eruptions lately gong on in Etna, and consider osl to attribute the present i phenomenon to the that place as the local seat of the convulsion. Meanwhile we may call attention to a paragraph in another pert of our paper, stating that about tbe begin ningand another was ex p ec t e d. As to the relation between of place there, intimate earthquakes and volcanoes, physical philo sophers are pretty generally agreed. The reports hitherto received from the various seats of the ph enomenon concur in stating that n o ma t er ial damage has been done. As may be expected, consider able alarm was felt along the whole course of the shock. the extensive district affected by . the convulsion; but it It is Premature to ascertain the exact boundary lines of is certain that the area was considerable, and we have , reason to be thankful that the shock was, comparatively, so slight. Three sharp shocks of earthquake, preceded by u teed rumbling noise, were experienced eight days ego at ;Malaga. All the houses and public buildipgs *ere shaken, but it is not stated that any were thrown ) dovn or i n jured. The inhabitants assembled in the public oguares, and many of them went on board vessels 3 in th e port. The temperature was suffocating, and the sky cloudy. SUSPECTED MURDER.—The body of a young man, named Stephen Hook, was, on Monday, the :2 t h ult., taken out of the river Thames, near Sutton Courtney, Berks, after having been in the water for the space of three weeks. The deceased had been missing since Abingdon Michaelmas fair night, when he was last seen in company with some women of questionable character, and in a condition rather the worse for the merry-making of the day. r An inquest was sum moned to inquire into his death. The medical testimony went to show that the effusion of blood on the brain of the deceased had resulted from violence, and the jury, after a most patient investigation, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persona to the jury un known." tibtrb Nbittots+ NORTHALLEITON RACES (THIS DAY.)

Tha Friends of Italy held their first converstzione fLr this m aso❑ last night, ut the Music-hall, Store-street, Bcdforsl-square. Amongst the celebrities present were Louis Kossut'n, Joseph Mazzini, Mr. Lowe, M P., Pro fessor Newman, Mr. William Coninghatn, Professor Tasler, Ste. After the meeting had been addressed by Joseph Mazzini and Professor Newman, there was a unanimous demand for M. Kohsutla, who at once came forward. When the applause had somewhat subsided, he said—Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, I am deeply, very deeply sensible of your kindness, and the value of that interest which you hare manifested for the cause of Italy and Hungary. I thank you for this manifestation, the more because, in connecting it with the resolutions adopted during the evening, I feel entitled to take it not only as an acknowledgment. but as an approval of the brotherly and fraternal alliance which now con nects Italy with Hungary. (Hear, hear.) My best answer to you, is, as I take the hand [hero he grasped the hand of Mazzini, who rose and stood by his side] of my friend, my brother, and as I here stand before God and you, hand in hand with him, so, depend upon it, the world will see the people of Italy and the people of Hungary, not only standing up, but marching side by side, until:those fair parts of the world are restored to the natural and imprescriptible rights of every nation, and until they once more enjoy their inalienable right to administer their own concerns, and to set up or pull down, to alter or change, their mode and form of gevern meat. (Loud and continued applause.) Obedient to to your call, I have risen ; but not for the purpose of making a speech. There is a time when it is necessary to bo silent. Such a time is the present (Hear, bear.) You in England are happy—you can hope to obtain all that you daily require by the word. (Hear.) With us it is different—words avail us not—we can carry nothing by them. We have therefore resolved to be silent. I have but one single speech in store, and it shall be spoken in due time. It is—Up boys ; follow me. (Loud cheers.)—The meeting then broke up. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STZ'ET. James Chatterly, William Chick, and James Margetts were brought up for final examination yesterday, charged with having committed several felonies. The prisoners, in the :first instance, were apprehended for attacking in Oxford-street, on the morning of the sth inst., Mr. Robert Street, landlord of the Pineapple public-house, Portman•market, with intent to rob him. Mr. Street stated that he was going towards home, with about fifty or sixty sovereigns in his pocket, when the three prisoners ran against him, surrounded him, commenced striking at him, and knocked him down by a blow on the eye. It was Margetts who struck the blow. About fourteen of the sovereigns were scattered on the pavement, but the prompt appearance of the police pre vented any advantage being taken of that circumstance. Complainant did not think he had lost any money, but he felt satisfied that had the constable not come up at the time, he should have been robbed. The prisoners strongly protested their innocence, and asserted the respectability of their characters. Margetts said he was a cab proprietor, Chatterley that he was the brother of a highly respectable tradesman, and Chick that he was an omnibus conductor. Their explanation was that Mr. Street pushed against them, commenced fighting with Margetts, and that the whole affair was a Street scuffle without any felonious purpose. Mr. Street was reluctant to swear positively that any cocomplainant g t a s i e gold. attempt was made to ro b hi m . H e f e lt a h an d a t t h e pocket in whi c h h e h a d hi s money, b ut i t was j ust pos sible that th e f orce o f the blow which knocked him down had th The constable, Ch am b ers, who was called to the fray, said th e e effectmin of a jerking nt was u otmee sober,of th though the prisoners had b een d r i nking they perfectly and well knew what they were about. In the possession of Chatterly two watches were found. The Magistrate appeared inclined to take a lenient view of the charge, and remanded the prisoners for the purpose of giving the police time to inquire into their characters. Chatterly was admitted to bail. The three prisoners were now placed at the bar, and the following additional evidence produced. Henry Taylor, apprentice to William Sewell, butcher, High-street, Portland-town, said he knew Margetts by sight from his coming to buy meat at the shop. He was at the Marylebone Theatre on the evening of the 4th November, and saw the prisoner Margetts there. After the performance was over he went into a public-house in Church-street, again saw Margetts, and had some beer with him. He went into the Pine-apple public house (the landlord of which is the complainant in the first case), and there saw all three prisoners before the bra.. Ho afterwards went into the King Altred public house, Lisson•grove, and there again saw the three pri soners. A disturbance took place in the house, witnesa was pushed on one side, and he felt his watch and chain go from his pocket. He could not tell who took them. One of the watches found on Chatterly was the lost lost watch, and worth 31. Police-constable Rsndall, S 353, took Chatterly into custody on this second charge. The three prisoners were fully committed on two charges of felony. WORSHIP-STREET.—John Ludd, a journeyman cabinetmaker, was placed at the bar Wore Mr. D'Eyn court, charged with cutting and wounding a young woman named Mary Anne Mitten, with intent to mur der her. Mr. John Cousins, the landlord of the Coach and Horses, Holywell-lane, Shoreditch, 'stated that shortly before five o'clock on the preceding afternoon, the woman Mitten entered his house in the company of another woman, and ordered some refreshment, of which she was partaking in front of the bar, when he heard a man in the street call to her by the name of " Mary," and she immediately went out to him. After a short interval ho heard a loud uproar in the street, and directly afterwards the injured woman was brought back to his house by two men, who supported her in their arms; and observ ing that she was bleeding profusely from a frightful wound in the throat, he gave directions for her imme diate removal to the hospital. James Cousins, the nephew of the last witness, stated that while standing in front of his uncle's house at the time in question, his attention was attracted by the screams of a woman who was struggling with the pri soner on the opposite side of the street, and endeavour ing to disengage herself from his grasp. He instantly ran to her assistance, and after forcing the prisoner from her, he caught her in his arms as she was in the act of falling to the ground, and carried her into the public house, where he discovered that her throat was cut, and that the sleeve of his coat was saturated with blood. On battening out in search of the prisoner, he found that he had effected his escape; but the table knife now produced, the point of which was bent and stained with blood, was handed to him by a man who had picked it up close to the spot where the struggle had taken place. Police-constable N 236 stated that ho succeeded in apprehending the prisoner at his mother's house in Hoz ton on the preceding night, and on acquainting him with the nature of the charge, he made no observation what ever, and had not uttered a word during the time he had been in custody. The constable handed to the magistrate a certificate from the house-surgeon of the hospital, describing the serious nature of the injuries the woman had sustained, and added that, from his inquiries that morning, he had ascertained that she was in a state of imminent danger. . _ It was intimated to the magistrate by Alderman, the gaoler,ithat the wounded woman was the wife of a soldier who had been engaged for the last two years on foreign service in Canada, with his regiment, during the latter part of which period she had formed a connection with the prisoner, with whom she had been living for some months past. It appeared, however, that she still kept up a correspondence with her husband, and having re• cently received a letter from him, apprising her that his regiment had been ordered home and that she might shortly expect to see him, her feelings were so power fully wrought upon by the intelligence, that she made a determined attempt at self-destruction, for which she was brought to this court about ten days since, and committed to prison ; but, after a week's incarceration, she was delivered over to the care'of her mother. The prisoner, who had listened to the evidence with an air of sullen apathy, and maintained an obstinate silence throughout the investigation, was ordered to be remanded for a week to afford time for aseertaing the result of the injuries the woman had sustained. LAMBETII.-111r. Jonathan Mould, principal clerk in the traffic department of the South-Western Railway at the station on Waterloo-road, was brought up for fur ther examination, on a charge of embezzling 309/. 4s 2d, the amount of a cheque paid to him on account of her Majesty the Queen. Mr. Crombie, solicitor to the company, attended to prosecute, and Mr. M`Millen, an attorney, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Norton considered that there was quite enough before him to justify his sending the prisoner before a jury. There appeared to him (Mr. Norton) t o h ave been a loose mode of doing business hitherto ; and much would depend in the present case whether the irregularity generally did not lead to the present offence and also as to whether the act had been done openly and was well known, or had been done covertly and pri vately. These matters he thought worth the conside ration of the directors ; but at the same time, if called on by the gentlemen for the prosecution, he must at once committ the prisoner for trial. Mr. Crombie remarked that th e di rectors would luta on the Friday following, when he should be happy to place before them the suggestions of his worship. The prisoner was then rem an d e d to a future d a y, but on the application of his attorney, was admitted to heavy bail.

The Jullien Sidus rose on Monday night in full efful gence, to describe its last bright revolution (at least for a season or two) in the firmament of Drury. The vast assembly which crowded all parts of this noble theatre atteste d not only their love of the gentle science, but their special admiration of the inventor and introducer of the promenade concerts; and expressed, by a tremen dous reception, the honour in which they hold M. Jul lien. In the prospectus he has issued he intimates that the present "month" is the last that he will be enabled to undertake for some time to come. Brother Jonathan wants him; and "the proposals are too flattering" to permit him to resist a visit to the New World. He goes, therefore, we believe, in the course of the ensuing year, and no doubt the success he is destined to meet with will be commensurate with his merit and originality. He thinks " he has reason to congratulate himself on having been the means of popularizing good music in this country;" and no one will deny him this reflection. To M. Jullien the public owes a considerable debt of grati tude, for ho has provided it with a world of innocent and ameliorating amusement. He has purveyed for the mil lion and not for the tew, and the million consequenly have, through him, heard music which hitherto was be yond their ear—because beyond their pocket. He has been a benefactor to art, inasmuch as he has given a good thing at a cheap rate,und for fourteen years assem bled at intervals an orchestra, not only of vast propor tions, but of remarkable and indisputable talent, whose " readings" of many of the best and greatest works of genius can hardly be said to be inferior to those of the Philharmonic and other celebrated bodies. What he has given for a shilling has been more liberal than what many another man has given for half-a-guinea, and with proportionate extension to the interest of the art of which he is such a curious and pleasant minister. The band of the promenade concerts," which has always included the best instrumentalists of the day, again maintains its honourable reputation. It would be difficult indeed to hear Weber's overture to "Euryanthe," Beethoven's funeral march from the " Sinfonia Eroica " (given as a tribute to the memory of the great Duke, although, strange to say, it was written in honour of his great adversary, Napoleon), Mendelssohn's " Midsum mer Night's Dream" Scherzo, the selection from " Les Hugenets," or the by no means easy quadrilles and polkas of J. Jullien, more admirably rendered than they were last night; and when we state that to such attrac tions were added the extraordinary vocal powers of Malle. Anna Zerr, and the remarkable talents of the Brothers Mollinhauer (who play violin duets with great dexterity and oneness of feeling), and the inimitable solo clarinettist, M. Wuille, we think it must be admitted that a remarkably liberal entertainment was provided. The audience applauded lustily throughout, and encores were awarded to Jullien's quadrille from the " Enfant Prodigue " his popular waltz called " La Prima Do nna," and well-known " Irish Quadrille," also to a new polka called " Juno," composed by Kcenig, and the duet of the Brothers Mollinhauer. In the second part of the pro gramme, we had a new polka by Jullien, which will doubtless become as popular as other dance tunes by the same author. The title is, " Les Echos de Mout Blanc," and it is dedicated by Jullien to his friend Albert Smith. The old favourites were recognized with enthusiasm as they came forward with their various solos, and received the tumultuous approbation of the audience. Koenig seems iu as fine wind as ever, and played with all his wonted grace, power, and spirit. Prospers, Baumann, Mayceek, Barret, and Herr Vogel, elicited, each on his favourite instrument, the sincerest applause, and ap peared to have in no way abated their usual powers. The salle, again ornamented with the celebrated " crystal curtain," looked very brilliant, and the reading room was as richly stocked with newspapers as ever. Every part of the house was crowded. The performance of the National Anthem, between the acts, produced the usual scene of riotous loyalty. Fights, too, were not wanting to attest the exalted state of the public cheer fulness. The " rows" were incessant, the turmoil was overpowering ; but the police was both strong and resolute, and one or two bold captures from among the sturdiest and most unseemly of the delinquents produced a salutary effect. At the end of the concert the Na tional Anthem was again demanded, and again per formed. On this point, at least, the audience were thoroughly unanimous. (From the Times.) M. Jullien, who for upwards of 12 years has been the chief public entertainer in a special department, and has done more for the popularization of music among the masses in this country than any one else on record, is about to leave England, and try his fortunes in America. The present series of concerts (the 14th), at Drury-lane Theatre, will probably be the last our Lon don audiences may for some time have the advantage of attending. In the early spring M. Jullien, with the principal soloists of his band, makes his accustomed tour in the provinces, and in the summer starts for the United States. His absence will leave a chasm in our winter amusements which, it is not too much to say, no other can fill up, and his return to this side of the Atlantic will be anxiously desired. M. Julliets has won a larger share of public sympathy than is granted to most speculators; and the favour and celebrity he has acquired, it is only fair to add, are owing to a combi nation of qualities which few in his walk of life have been known to possess. While his spirited endeavours to gratify the public have been followed by almost unexampled success, he has done his utmost to educate his bearers in the act of administering to their amuse ment. No other entrepreneur has had the power of bringing together such vast crowds during so long a succession of years; and it is greatly to M Jullien's credit 'that, with the certainty of a large pecuniary profit, to be derived solely from his dance music and other ad captandum attractions, a sincere love of the art he professes has induced him to enter upon a path which demanded not less courage than discretion to follow out successfully. By degrees he persuaded his audiences to listen to and ultimately taught them t o a pp reciate and like, l'ine works of the greatest composers for the orchestra; end it has been proved beyond controversy, on many occasions, that however inconveniently packed may be the house, and however disposed to be boisterous and unruly, the names of Mozart, Beethoven, Webber, and Mendelssohn, s\re always certain to command attention. FOR EIGN THEATRICALS. GYMNASE.—Mm's• Rose Cheri, the great favourite at this theatre, has ap,leared altogether in a new light, in a smartly written vs udeville, produced here this week, under the title of Therese, ou Ange et Demon. Hitherto Mme. Ch ere had excl,,sively devoted himself to the im personation of sentimental heroines, hut in this affair she alternately appears as an ange and a demon. In the first part she bears the n ame of I.l6rese, and is a model of innocence, gentleness, and all the virtues which the writers for the Gymnaso always so liberally bestow on their favourites, and these good qualities, added to her beauty, make such an impression upon the heart of a wealthy young nobleman,. De Chennevidres, that he forthwith resolves upon restrrying her. The nuptials are all but celebrated, when Cliennevidres is startled out of his propriety by the entraece of a certain M. Jules, who claims his Th‘rese as his mistress. This strange de mand leads to some effective incidents, and of course breaks off the snatch. Th6rese, however, is not guilty, She is the victim of an unfortunate resemblance with a certain baroness of extremely equivocal reputation. This Menechrerean likeness gives rise to a series of scenes which dispi ay Mine. Rose Cheri's powers of ver satility to their bosh: advantage, and the purity of Tt6. rese's character beir nl.; ultimately recognised, the curtain descends on the us 'ual matrimonial perspective. Un divided applause follo wed the proclamation of Messrs. Bayard and Boaupla it as the authors, and a certain boldness and orieineli ty in the plot, with considerable spirit in the dialogue, promises their piece a popular career. GAlTE.—Another of those melodramas which are so ' greedily devoured by the' public of the Boulevard du Temple is La Bergere ‘cA'es Alpes, the last production here. The incidents are, a s usual, varied and interesting, but displaying an ample a h are of that noble disregard of common sense and probe. bility which frequently dis tinguishes such composition.s. The scenery is good, and the piece was received with a favour not wholly unde served, from the effective Cht4 ranter of some of the latter scenes and the general merits of the acting. Letters from Tiflis, in Russian Georgia, announce that Prince Woronzoff, governor of the Transcaucasian provinces, has constructed a theatre in that city, to be exclusively devoted to the performance of dramas written in Armenian. It has been inaugurated by a three•act comedy, Marhadi Schah ; it was perfectly successful. The authcr is Mirzx Feth Ali Altschande.w, a Georgian litttrateur of distinetic)n. MARKET N.EWS-(THIS DAY).

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The letter of" BEra," in The Sun of the Cth instant, in only to try to get that which be and :he whole host of Protectionists have been always trying for, but for the future must go without, —namely, a tax or monopoly favourable to the few members of a particular class at the cost and injury of the other classes of society. Now, how does " Bfra" make out his case for thie "Rail Owners ?" " They employ 200,000 labourers." How many do the Farmers employ ? " They have brought out artistic and mechanical skill." Has no advance been made in threshing, dressing, chaff-cut ting, and other machines of others wishing mono poly—no improvement, no draining, &c. ? The capital of railways " calls 300,000,0001. Whet is the capital of the landlords in stock and house. holders, whose lives are not as a feather-weight against making railways pay a good per-oentage. Mr. " Bcra," what do the canals now pay on the ca pital expended ?—and if not so much as formerly why ? Law, Mr. " Bera," is a very costly matter, and solicitors to the railways have a good birth of it, and are, many of them, well paid. If you will, OS two companies did last year, expend 30,0001. in a contest for a twenty-five or thirty mile line, through as poor a county as any in England, " then you have had your fun for your money." Why, is it not as well for the Great Western to h ave p u t a stop to a line of no value for one year, as to pay one per cent. more? If not, then act as men of business, and don't go to law, or be satisfied with poverty.—Yourst A FARMER. THE HOP DUTY.
