The hard and unscrupulous policy of Austria and Prussia is being worked out with all the malignity and malevolence that generally distinguish those arbitrary Powers. Herr VON BISMARCK'S last Note is almost unparalleled for its effrontery, and its tone throughout is arrogant in the extreme. It is addressed to the Prussian Envoy in the free town of Frankfort. If the two Powers are allowed their way the term " free" applied to this city will soon be a lucus anon lucendo. A clear insight has been gained by the Berlin Minister into the discussions of the " Delegates, " held at Frankfort on the Ist instant. Thereupon Herr BISMAIICK goes on to state that up to the last moment " we" entertained hopes that the Senate would prevent this meeting. The reasons for this expectation were that the Senate should have been conscious of its engagements towards the two gt great German allied Powers," and should also have remembered the remonstrances that were made on "previous and similar" occasions by Austria and Prussia. This is a very significant commencement, and the continuation of the Note fully realises the ideas that are entertained by itsopening. Herr BISMARCK speaks his mind pretty plainly in no very measured words or courteous phrases. He regrets that the ruling Powers have been disappointed, an d that they are compelled to believe that the Senate is " willing for Frankfort to become the source o f all senseless schemes." This last epithet is a relative term, and can be applied according to the pleasure of the speaker. How or why it was more "sense less" for the Delegates to meet at Frankfort than for the Emperor and King of the allied Powers to hold a Convention at Gastein, or for the redoubtable writer of this Note to rush off to Biarritz in pur suance of his tortuous scheme ci policy, is neither here nor there, However, it suits the purpose Of some people to arrogate all possible rights to them selves, and to refuse others any latitude at all. Judged by the standard of Herr BISMARCK, no other State or Principality has any business to express an opinion of its own, or to make any demonstrations of a public or domestic character. They should keep profound silence until they had the mandate of the august representative of the Sovereign ruler of Prussia. At any rate there will be no further excuse for such mistakes being made, for Herr VON BIS MARCK does not mince the matter, but anr ounces his intentions in these unmistakable words—" We can no longer tolerate such indulgence to revolu tionary tendencies." Nothing can possibly be more explicit than this outspoken declaration, and it will, of course, be readily understood by those to whom it is addressed. Still, however successful for the present may be the efforts that are strenuously made by both Austria and Prussia, those who watch events cannot but speculate upon the ultimate consequences of such manoeuvres. When it comes to " we cannot permit" it is serious indeed, and matters are approaching a crisis. In this state Herr BISMARCK as good as says that they will proceed to extremities if due care and attention be not paid to the intimation now given. The crime is indeed a dreadful one, which would undermine the " authority of the two first German Powers," and it appears that the late demonstrations at Frankfort have that appearance in the eyes of the sapient judges of Vienna and Berlin. The Senate of Frankfort is blamed in an unsparing manner, and no hopes are held out that any more lenity and toleration will be shown if a renewal of these offences takes place. On the contrary, Herr YOVBISMARCK goes on to declare that the Berlin Government agrees with that of Vienna in the opinion that the "recurrence of such a public scandal, even in the form of a discus sion, leading to no result, cannot be permitted." This Note, so replete with virtuous indignation, and so full of righteous scorn for wrong doers, concludes with an earnest exhortation to the Prussian Envoy to impress upon the Mayor that in this matter his superiors are acting quite in concert with the authorities at Vienna, and there fore that he must so order affairs in Frankfort that there may be no necessity for the interference of the two great German Powers to " prevent the further consequences of an indulgence which has already been carried too far." The Austrian Government, of course, fellows suit in this untoward affair, and the Envoy of the Ex- PEROR is duly apprised of his duties in impressing upon the recusant Senate and the Mayor of Frank- fort the intentions of his Government respecting the late course pursued in that city. Count MENS DORFF is as usual more moderate in his expressions than Herr VON BISMARCK, but, at the same time, he leaves no room to doubt the meaning of his re marks, and doubtless he will be duly appreciated by those whom he addresses through his circu lar. He, also, like llerr VON BISMARCK, concludes by expressing a hope that the Senate " will relieve us from the necessity of delibe rating upon other steps to prevent in future such illegal attempts as have hitherto been made at the seat of the Federal Diet." Can any courso be more inconsistent than that pursued by the two Great German Powers, as they so delight to call themselves, or more subversive of their true interests in the end ? The fact is, that, disguise it as their partisans may, the day of liberty is over for the present in the varied divisions of the Fatherland, and it is useless to expect that any satisfactory tidings can reach us from either Vienna or Berlin. The wily Ministers who rule the coun cils of the Sovereigns at these places are determined to crush out all hope of liberty, and already they are succeeding beyond their hopes. Never was wrong-doing more speedily avenged than in the instance of the minor States of Germany joining heart and soul in the crusade against Denmark. They have gained nothing but shame and obloquy, and now their own privileges are being mulcted away from them. In time this oppression must react on its perpetrators ; but for the meantime Europe must be scandalised at the attacks made on constitutional rights by Austria and Prussia. The Oxford Local Examinations are annually rising in public interest and importance, and the yearly distribution of the prizes obtained by the successful candidates at Manchester, with the address delivered on the occasion, is consequently growing more and more a matter of general instead of local attraction. As it happens, the committee who manage these affairs have been peculiarly happy of late in the selection of the President on the occa sion, having last year invited the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and this year the Bishop of Oxford, to distribute the rewards, both of them being especially qualified for the office, both as Oxford celebrities and as speakers of the very highest order. The address of the Bishop of Oxford on Tuesday last will be read with interest and profit by every one who is concerned in that impor tant question, the education of the youth of our middle classes. It is becoming more and more valued, because it is felt that the education of the middle classes will have an abiding influence on the future of England—that out of these youths, whose attainments are sifted, and whose mental training is tested, at these examinations, the Parliaments of the next generation, the municipalities, the leaders of thought and of feelings, the thinkers and workers of their time, will be most probably recruited. There can be very little doubt that till within the last few years the education of the middle classes has been, as a whole, imperfect and superficial. The instruction given in the private academies and grammar schools was too often conducted only with a view to the temporary gratification of the parents and the immediate profit of the schoolmaster; so that, as the Bishop of OXFORD justly observed, when the time came for the lad's attainments to be tested in the busy world of life it was too late to rem edy the error. The higher classes who send their sons to the various Uni vers iti es h ave th e guaran tee of the searching examinations con ducted by highly educated and experienced men. The lower ranks, though perhaps themselves in different to its value, receive a sound educa tion for their children, as certified by the careful examination into their acquirements, con ducted periodically by duly qualified and totally impartial persons. But the middle classes, those classes who furnish the very bone and sinew of our country, are, or rather were, left hap-hazard to the chance of their schoolmaster being an earnest and intelligent instructor, a mere plodding machine, or a specious impostor. It is only fair to a highly honourable and very laborious profession to con clude that the latter class furnished at all times a small proportion of its members, but with the best intentions many instructors are not them selves sufficiently well-informed to be able to test their pupil's deficiencies or acquirements, and are not qualified to impart that deep and comprehensive knowledge which it is perhaps within his capacity to obtain. The Bishop of OXFORD did not spare those instructors who sought rather their own profit than their pupil's advantage, and with graphic humour he showed up the system pursued in tome schools, THE SUB, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING,': OCTOBER 26, 180. where the schoolmasters either conduct the exami nations themselves, or get a friendly rival to do it for them, for whom they are ready when wanted to discharge the same office. Dr. WILBERFORCE amusingly described the surprise and delight of the family circle of the SMITHS, when Master SMITH, who was never thought anything wonderful, comes home with a prize, bearing an inscription lauding his mental and moral attainments to the skies. Happily these admiring relatives are not aware that Master JONES bears a similar volume, inscribed in equally flattering, though not precisely similar, terms. Of course, all the friends of the family think highly of a master and an establishment which have converted dunces into prize scholars, and so the end is gained. From beginning to end in the old system there was no searching test, and the really efficient masters of local schools are delighted at the opportunity now given them of proving, beyond dispute, how thorough and how conscientious is their method of instruction. " I think," said Dr. WILBERFORCE, " that I may as sume that this, which was a few years ago nothing more than an experiment, has now proved itself to be a great success." He added that such a result was no less satisfactory to the universities than to those who profited more immediately by it, since nothing could be worse than for the old universities to be severed, as it were, by a gulf from the great middle classes. The Bishop, indeed, goes further, and looks forward to a day when it shall be a recognised thing for the sons of the great princes of corfamerce to study at the University itself as it is for the sons of the great princes of the soil. " I desire to see the lords of these great physical manipulations of matter sending their children with the lords of the old soil of England to learn, and study, and compete together, and to go forth from ' the common discipline to serve a common master and to bless a common country." Such an identity of training, and such a fellowship in youth, would go far to break down those barriers between the classes which are productive of so much that is hurtful and binding. The advantages of a first•rate education to the mercantile classes would undoubtedly be great, and, as the accomplished orator who on Tuesday addressed their representatives justly said, "It is impossible to give too much either of intellectual or of moral greatness to the mighty interests of increasing the physical riches, and with them the physical efforts and strength of such a nation as this, of England." It is satisfactory to find that the advantages offered by these University Examinations arc becoming more widely appreciated among the commercial classes, and that, according to the report, the number of candidates who presented them selves for examination this year was greatly in advance of the two previous years. The per centage of those that passed was also very high, proving that the local educational system is based on a satisfactory footing. The Bishop's able and eloquent address, suggestive alike to old and young, was attentively listened to and frequently applauded, and the claims of the Local Examination system have seldom received a more powerful or more impressive advocacy. LINCOLN ELECTION EXPENSES.—The expenses incurred by the three candidates at the Lincoln election have just been published. Mr. Seoley's (Liberal) election cost £1,826 2s. 4d., £450 being for professional services, while printing, stationery, and advertising amount to the formidable sum of £394 14e. 4d. A curious item occurs for messengers, doorkeepers, and " watchers"— £239 13s. The " watchers" were engaged to look after suspicious characters on the other side, and to prevent their buying up voters. Mr. Ileneage's (Liberal) expenses amount to £1,342 14s. ld., of which sum agents and can vassers received £493 17s. 9(1. ; printing and advertising, £l7O 10s. sd. ; committee rooms, £l2B 10s. ;. messengers, " watchers," etc., £255 lls. 6d. It cost the unsuccessful candidate, Mr. Bromley-Moore, £1,271 ss. 10d. ; agents, canvassers, and clerks received £589 135.10 d. ; messengers and " watchers," £2Ol. It will thus be seen that the legal expenses amounted to £4,440 2s. 3d., and as the number of voters on the register is 1,800, the cost per vote was about £2 108. Really, however, the election cost about £20,000, as much as £2O being given for a single vote, and; one leading tradesman, who declined to promise either party, received an order for goods to the amount of £227 2s (which item is published), and his vote was thus secured. THE CATTLE PLAGUE AND INSPECTORS.—Many farmers are now beginning to doubt whether the system of inspection authorized by the Orders in Council is not productive of more harm than good. Since the panic about the rinderpest arose, as soon as a beast droops its head and leaves off eating for an hour, the owners of cattle get alarmed, and send for the veterinary inspector appointed under Government. In country districts such inspectors have a wide field to travel over, and many farms to look after ; and it is feared that, in coming from a diseased stock, they may often carry the infec tion to a healthy farm. Besides the calls made upon them on account of this mysterious malady, they have their ordinary practice to attend to ; and this may—in deed must—often necessitate their visiting at stoadings where no disease exists. With a large practice and an ex tensive range of country under their care, it is thought that it is not possible for veterinary surgeons on all occasions to disinfect themselves so thoroughly as:the contagious nature of the disease requires. Indeed, we have heard of instances where inspectors have passed from a diseased to a healthy stock without any change of clothing or use of disinfecting agents whatever. But, whether this occurred or not, it is clear that there is much danger in the present method, which not only permits, but ordains, that an inspector, known to be constantly engaged among diseased animals, should be sent for as soon as any ailment in a beast—which may not be the plague at all—is noticed by a stockowner. It is considered that it would be much bettor that the far mers, under the direction of the Sheriff or other legally constituted authorities, should have the privilege of calling in any veterinary surgeon they choose, Government paying the expense. We believe that some such proposal as this is likely to be urged upon the commissioners now taking evi dence on the plague in London. The present system is certainly not giving satisfaction to stockowners in Scot land.—Seetsmart. THE HOUSE OF BARING AND COMPANY.—They came to Exeter from Bremen, and Matthew fixed himself at Larkbear (the Larroclibere of Saxon times), to carry on the woollen trade with foreign lands—a trade of which in the west of England Exeter wasthe centre. The reputation and success of the house of the Baringe was mainly owing to the business habits, the prudence, and the activity of the wife of Matthew, whose name was tradi tionally known as Madame Baring. The ladies in those days took an active part in the management of their hus bands' affairs. They superintended the labours of the women engaged as burlers, who pulled the "goods" over benches, and with burling-irons, a sort of large sharply pointed tweezers held in the right hand, picked out the blacks, the knots, and other defects left by the wearers, which, with a whisk in the left hand, they swept into open bags at their sides. It was one of the duties of the mistress, now and then, to go from one end to the other of the long line of burlers, encouraging the diligent, and reprehending the lazy. Matthew Baring fully appreciated the services of his wife, and built for her on the banks of the river a handsome fishing-house of brick, from whose windows she could uninterruptedly and comfortably indulge in piscatorial amusements. Pollutions have driven away the fish, the fishing house has been razed to its foun dations, the fisher lady has been long slumbering under the roof of St. Leonard's cemetery, and the memento raised over her burial place by her eldest son John, the senior partner of the great house of John and Francis Baring, has wholly disappeared. Most of the members of the family are interred in tho churchyard just described, which was separated from their domicile of Mount Radford only by a bridge thrown across the public road, but some of them repose in the " Saint's Rest" of the Exeter Presbyterians, and others in a very pretty but obscure burial place at tached to a Unitarian chapel a few miles from the city. John and Francis Baring wore both men of singular saga city. Perhaps they foresaw the decline and decay of that staple trade upon which their father had laid the founda tions of his own and their prosperity—at all events, they sought a wider field than Exeter offered. I had i❑ my possession a copy of a tender for part of a loan to the Bri tish Government, in the reign of George the Third, in which the ambition of the groat house of the Brothers Baring was limited to the adventure of £3OO sterling.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AUSTRIA AND GERMANY. VIENNA, OCT. 25 (Evening). An official denial has been given to the rumour that all soldiers of the garrison in Venetia now on furlough has been called in. The Abendpost (evening edition of the official 'Wiener Zeituny) publishes a leading article explain ing that no change whatever has taken place in the position of Austria in Germany, and in the relation between Austria and Germany. The -lbendpost recalls that the intimate connexion between Austria and Germany reposes on an his torical basis, and says :—" A separation of Austria and Germany would offer the most serious dangers to both parties. Austria considers her connexion with Germany as the vital condition of her existence. The relations between Austria and Germany can never be di; - solved, as both parties are dependent on the other." The Abendpost also publishes an article on the Frankfort affair, in which it points out that Austria has followed the path of Federal right in the steps taken by her in this question, and that she will not abandon it whatever further progress the affair may take." VIENNA, OCT. 26. The identical note which has been addressed by the Senate of Frankfort to the two great German Powers energetically rejects the demands made by the latter. The Senate cites the Federal Constitu tion, which allows to no member of the German Confederation an arbitrary intervention into the sovereign rights of the other German States. The Vienna papers state that the reply of the Senate has, not only on account of its forms, which are said to be at variance withdiplomatic usage, but also on account of its contents, greatly surprised and offended the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is asserted that Austria and Prussia have already agreed about certain propositions to be submitted to the Federal Diet on this question. LITERATURE New Editions of Popular Works. St. Olave's. By the Author of " Janita's Cross." Hurst and Blackett. As the new volume of that very charming and popular series of• reprinted works by authors of more or less celebrity, the series known to the lovers of light literature far and wide by its title, as the Messrs. Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library, we have here collected together in a cheap, compact, and elegant form, the contents of the whole of the three volumes of the very entertaining story of " St. Olave's" by the author of " Janita's Cross." The reputation already won to herself by the pub lication of those two graceful and occasionally brilliant fictions, cannot, we feel satisfied, but be very appreciably extended, and strengthened by this re-issue of one of them—perhaps, everything con sidered, the better of the two—in a shape so acces sible to the general multitude. The story of " St. Olave's" is of itself, as a story, so interesting in its way, that the perusal of it having been once com menced the reader becomes loth to lay the book aside until all the chapters are fairly run out, until the last of them has been eagerly and yet reluctantly finished. As affording a sufficiently striking contrast in this respect to the immediately preceding volume of the, Messrs. Hurst and Blackett's Staildard Library—meaning Mrs. Oliphant's enthusiastic and even reverential' bio graphy, or rather culogium, of the Rev. Edward Irving—we cannot but regard the selection of " St, Olave's" for the honours of this reprint as in every way judicious. The Dead Secret. By Wilkie Collins. Smith, Elder, & Co. Added to many other popular half-crown volumes in glazed boards of a yellowish colour, going generically, as a series, by the name of the Messrs. Smith, Elder, and Company's Cheap Editions of Standard Works " The Dead Secret" will be thrice welcome to the great majority of its subscribers, that is, to the subscribers to that particular serial publication. It is remarkable, iu many ways, this earliest of the more elaborated fictions penned by the since famous author of "The Woman in White !" It is especially remarkable as the earliest of those wonderfully ingenious and very highly-elaborated narratives of plot and counter plot, of most intricately interwoven threads of mys tery and . adventure 1 As Mr. Wilkie Collins himself takes occasion to remind us in the Preface to this very reprint of " The Dead Secret," he had never, until the writing of that tale, ventured as a story teller, beyond those brief and rapid relations of incidents and delineations of character which were collected together, after awhile, in separate volumes—one entitled "After Dark," another, "The Queen of Hearts." In Charles Dickens's world-famous weekly serial, however, he at length ventured upon the construction of a more pretentious work, as a contribution to imaginative literature, than any he had previously had the courage to entertain the notion of. In this way he began, and continued, and eventually brought to a successful comple tion, the vivid and eltritch tale of " The Dead Secret." Oddly enough, when translated, as the story naturally came to be, into the French language, no equivalent could be hit upon by the translator by which to express the idiomatic English Title of the Book, " The Dead Secret"—insomuch that the French version bears still upon its title-page the abbreviated and inadequate designation of Le Secret. So odiously morbid is the general effect of the narrative here related, that we never yet could take to the work very kindly. Clever though it is, of course, beyond any doubt, it is at the same time, in its general effect, too grimly and ghostly to be altogether agreeable. In parts it is about as pleasant reading, in truth, as Edgar Poe's " Fall of the House of Ussher," than which we know nothing more overwhelmingly depressing to the spirits or more grissly and deadly-haunting to the imagination. It showed a remarkable advance, however, on the part of the author as an imagina tive writer—an author first known in any way no ticeably, it should be said, as the writer of the semi classic romance of " Antonina." As Mr. Wilkie Collins' first apparition as a novelist, really quite sui generic, " The Dead Secret" is, in spite of the morbid atmosphere of gloom still militating against its chances of anything like a wide and cheery popularity, well worthy, as a literary perform ance, of being afforded this present additional and valuable opportunity for the extension of its own popularity and for the widening of its author's re putation. George Geith of Fen Court. By F. G. Trafford Tinsley Brothers. Among all this writer's works—and they are numbering up now rather remarkably—" George Geith of Fen Court" is incomparably the best known, and it is so, we may say at once, deservedly. The style of writing notice able in the stories of F. G. Trafford is rather flaccid, it is true ; the conversations are spun out overmuch ; the moralizing only too frequently de generates into the merest twaddle—but while these are peculiarities which are, unfortunately, but too observable in the author's idiosyncracy as a novelist, and although they are here perpetually thrusting themselves upon our attention, even in this the writer's happiest effort, to wit, this same enter taining record of the fortunes and adventures of George Geith of Fen Court—a hero by-the-way who is an ex-Curate turned Accountant—the tale, though thus told, has a charm about it, as a medium for the delineation of cha racter, that compensates for everything else, for every blemish that the shrewdest and the most cynical critic could drag to light for the purposes of reprobation. George Geith himself, the hero of the tale, as indicated by the very title of it—and with him the fitful, erratic, wild-tongued, gentle-hearted, loveable heroine, bright Beryl Molozanc, are, among all the characters in the book, the two imparting to it, by the vividness of their delineation, its chiefest attraction, an attraction amounting at moments in Beryl's instance, to something little short of a kind of witchery or fascination. Because of all which, but because of Beryl especially, the announcement of the reissue of " George Geith" in this popular and acdessible form by the Messrs. Tinsley Brothers, will be welcome news, indeed, to the;writer's already numerous and fast multiplying admirers. Tales from Shakspere. By Charles Lamb. Illus trated by John Gilbert. George Routledge and Sons. Surely the loveliest edition of this charming book that ever has been published A home-classic it has already long since come to be—and as such it now makes its reappearance under the happiest aus pices. Exquisitely printed, brilliantly embellished, elegantly bound, appropriately emblazoned on the very cover with an effigy of Prospero's dainty Arid on the Bat's back flying after summer merrily ! the famous " Tales from Shakspere," as they were told in his day by Charles Lamb, and surely also, or we are very much mistaken (though the title page of the present reprint makes no mention what ever of her name) by Mary Lamb, also, in literary partnership with her brother" Elia," come forth, now, under an aspect that would have gladdened the heart of that blithest, and brightest, and wittiest, and delightfullest among all our blithe, bright, witty and delightful essayists I The very title-page itself presents to us an accumulation of attractions— Talcs from Shakspere—written by Charles Lamb— and illustrated by John Gilbert! Gilbert in this evident labour of love having worked as felicitously with his pencil as ever did " Elia" with his pen when turning the poetical dialogue of the Dramas into the limpid current of his prose narratives. " The Winter's Tale" especially, is adorned by Gil bert's loving hand with the daintiest embellishment that heart could well desire, even though it were the heart of the most exigent appreciator of Elia's love for Shakspere The Shaving of Shagpat. By George Meredith. Chapman and Hall. _ . Since George Meredith first captivated our admi ration by the daring originality of his exquisitely whimsical Arabian Entertainment, entitled—and there was an audacity in the very title of it— " The Shaving of Shagpat," he has secured for FRANCE. The Journal des Fabricans de Sucre has the fol lowing :—" The number of manufactories now at work in France is 293 against 183 of last year, and the quantity made is 10,740,515 kilogrammes, in stead of 2,755,400. The year 1862 must be gone back to, in order to find a month of September at all approaching this last in respect of production, and even that month fell short, as it only produced 7,245,667 kilos. from a very good crop. The average of production in September, 1862, was 280 sacks for each manufactory ; that of the same month this year is 360, or nearly 30 per cent. additional. We do not wish to draw any comparison with the two years before the present, as there was then a scarcity, whilst this is one of abundance, which will give a wide extension to the trade in beetroot sugar. Being personally desirous of witnessing the results of the harvest, we have spent several days in visit ing various parts of the department of the Nord. The whole country is beetroot, pulp, sugar, and fuel; the roads are encumbered with the produce. In a word, the result of the present campaign will be most satisfactory" The Tribunal of Commerce has just given judg ment in an action brought by M. Massue, director of the Grand Theatre Parisian, against M. Duprez, the tenor, to recover damages under the following circumstances :—ln July, 1865, M. Duprez wishing to establish a popular opera, and present to the pub lic his own musical works, especially his opera of " Jeanne d'Arc," made an arrangement with M. Massue for the use of his theatre for seven months. M. Duprez was to pay all the performers, and the profits were to be divided equally between the con tracting parties. The performances, however, having been interrupted by the indisposition of one of the artistes, M. Alassue now demanded 7,000 fr. from M. Duprez as compensation for his loss, on the ground that the latter had not taken proper care to secure an efficient company, M. Duprez main tained, on the contrary, that the performances were suspended through no fault of his, and that he could not be held responsible. The tribunal, taking the latter view of the case, rejected M. Massue's de mand, and condemned him to pay all costs. The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried a man named Fleury, aged 27, calling himself an architect, on numerous charges of swindling, by obtaining money under false pretences. It appeared from the evidence that defendant wished to establish an advertising journal, entitled the Tambour, and in order to find subscribers for the same he adopted __ the strange expedient of publishing an advertisement in the Siècle announcing that a young and beautiful lady named Mlle. C _, possessing a fortune of t w o millions of francs, wished to enter the holy state of matrimony with an honourable man and that the pos session of fortune on his part was to her a matter of perfect indifference. The defendant received no less than 1,500 answers to this from persons of all ranks, among whom were marquises and counts, jour nalists and notaries, coopers, cooks, labourers, &c., most of them accompanied by a photograph of the writer. To all the applicants the defendant replied that he could not place them on his list unless they subscribed to his journal, and this a great number of them did without hesitation. The defendant himself acknowledged that he had received as much as 1,400 fr. As only one number of the journal appeared, and nothing more was heard of the ima ginary lady of fortune, the candidates for her hand denounced the defendant to the police, and ho was arrested. Many of them appeared as witnesses be fore the Tribunal, and as their evidence was con clusive the Tribunal declared the charge proved, and condemned the defendant to two months' im prisonment. As an omnibus plying between Paris and Choisy- le-Roi was yesterday morning passing along the Quai d'Austerlitz, it overturned owing to the break- ing of an axle-tree. Thirteen out of twenty pas- sengers received slight contusions ; but a M. T of Grenelle, and the driver were more seriously, though not dangerously, injured. BOURSE, Oct. 25.—Two o'Clock.—The first despatch from London announced a fall in Consols of I per cent., and the second a further fall of 1. This retrograde movement is attributed to an appre hension very generally entertained that the Bank of England may increase the rate of discount to * per cent. at its weekly meeting to-morrow. The effect here has been an almost general decline in the quotations of the principal Securities, and Threes, for the Account, have lost 12i c., the quotation being 68f. Italian Fives have declined 15c., to 65f. 45c. Credit Mobilier Shares have fallen 7f. 50e., and are quoted 885 f.

There will be a daily attendance until the com mencement of Term. It is positively denied that Mr. Baron Martin is about to retire from the bench. himself a position sufficiently conspicuous, he has won for himself a reputation, apart from the crowd of authors, it may be, but for that very reason, all the more noticeable, as one of the raciest, freshest, and most thoughtful among our younger novelists. Some of his creations in the books he has written since he wrote this wild, fantas tic narrative of " The Shaving of Shagpat" are marked, to our thinking, incontestably, with the sign-manual of genius. Instance—that sententious philosopher in " The Ordeal of Richard Feverel !" Instance, again —that, wonderful Countess in the story of " Evan Harrington!" "Emilia in England," herself is in this way another and in some respects still more radiant illustration of the fact we are in sisting upon. But it is altogether idle, it is almost, we might add, ungrateful to say more upon this point with the present thrice welcome reprint of George Meredith's earliest work of note--" The Shaving of Shagpat" here immediately at hand ! For, in it, in this Arabian Entertainment, penned now just upon ten years ago by a young author then wholly unknown to fame in the world of literature, we recognise still, as we claim to hate been the first among all the critics, to recognise then in 1856, at the period of its original publica tion (our review of " The Shaving of Shagpat," in The Sun, being, as we very well remember, headed by us emphatically THE NEW AUTHOR) we recognise still deliberately, as we recognised then, so to speak, upon the instant, the tokens of original genius which were lavished around him at every step by the young writer as he advanced along the devious career of this most eccentric of narratives. It begins, moreover, this manifestation of an unquestionable genius, and of a genius, too, of an essentially rare and exceptional character, with " The Thwackings," to end only with the very last of " The Flashes of the Blade." Taken as an alle gory, or taken simply as a wild exercise of an English fancy among the regions hitherto sacred to purely oriental imaginings, the History of the " Shaving of Shagpat," the son of Shimpoor, the son of Shoolpi, the son of Shullum, of the renowned and mighty incident of his Shaving (after the Burning of the Identical !) by Shibli Bagarag, nephew of the chief barber to the Court of Persia, the immortal Baba Mustapha—fairly captivates us and carries us, on through all the mazes and devious winding labyrinths of incident, making up the intricacies of the plot. Who that has once read the book—and those who have not, have now the opportunity for sa doing (an opportunity to the availing themselves of which we heartily commend them 1) —those who have already made themselves acquainted with " The Shaving of Shagpat" as an Arabian Entertainment, will very well remember, among other marvels therein re lated, the story of Bhanavar the Beautiful, the Punishment of Shahpesh the Persian on Khipil the Builder, the Case of Rumdrum, the story of Noorna ben Noorka, the Genie Karaz, and the Princess of Oolb ! Delightfully familiar to their remembrance air() will be the mere mention here en passant of the Well of Paravid, of the Talking Hawk, and of the Horse Garraveenl Our only surprise is that a book so brightly and radiantly beautiful in its abounding originality, in its subtle humour and its rhythmical eloquence, has not long since been reprinted in a popular form for general circulation, as it is at any rate so reprinted here at last. Banquet at `the Mansion•house. The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress enter tamed yesterday evuning a large party at dinner in the Egyptian-hall of the Mansion-house. The ban quer was given immediately in honour of the mas ters and wardens of the 12 great livery companies of the city, and a number of members of the corpo ration and their friends were invited to meet those special guests of the evening. The company, which consisted of upwards of 200 ladies and gentlemen, comprised the following personages : General Sabine, President of the Royal Society ; Admiral Sir F. Nicolson, Bart., C. 8., Major-General Bell, C. 8., Col.. Sir H. Edwardes, K.C.8., and Lady Edwardes, Mr. Hodgson, President of the Royal College of Surgeons ; Mr. Delarue, President of the Royal Astronomical Society ; Mr. Hamilton, Presi dent of the Geological Society ; Mr. Lee, M.P., Mr. Russell, M.P., the Masters and Wardens of the Twelve Livery Companies, the Members of the Board of Conservators of the River Thames, Capt. Inglefield, R.N., and Mrs. Inglefield, Col. Walmis ley, commanding Ist City of London Artillery Vo lunteers ; Col. Warde, commanding Ist City of London Rifle Volunteers; Col. Richards, command ing 3d City of London Rifle Volunteers ; the Con sul General of the Argentine Republic; Mr. Whit bread, Mr. Barnett, Mr. and Mrs. Hankey, the Court of Assistants of the Tallow Chandlers' Com pany, Mr. Moore, Mr. L. Taylor, Major Russell, Mr. L. Simpson, Mr. R. Scott, Mr. Fowler, Alder man Sir J. Musgrove, Bart.,(Sir. F G. Moon, Bart., Sir R. W. Carden, Alderman Carter, Aldermen Rose, Alderman Lawrence, M.P., Alderman Ga briel, Alderman Allen, Alderman Mechi, Alderman Abbiss, Alderman Besley, Alderman Waterlow, Alderman Stone, the Chairman of the Corporation Committees, &c. At the conclusion of the dinner the healths of her Majesty, and of the Prince and Princess of Wales, were given from the chair, and cordially honoured by the company. The next toast was " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," and the com pliment was acknowledged on behalf of those re spective services by Major-General Bell, Admiral Sir F. Nicolson, and Lieut.-Col. Warde. The lat ter gallant gentleman took occasion to express his belief that the volunteer force was now in a well disciplined condition, and to offer his thanks to the corporation of London for their services in promot ing the efficiency of the City of London Volunteer Rifle Brigade. The LORD MAYOR, in afterwards proposing the toast of " The House of Commons," with which he coupled the name of Mr. Alderman Lawrence, M.P., said that it was impossible upon such an occasion to forget that that assembly had just lost one of its greatest ornaments. (Hear, hear.) He had him self heard Lord Palmerston address the House of Commons in the year 1811, and he remembered that the noble lord had then given promise of those high qualities he had since so strikingly displayed. He was a man specially remarkable for the courtesy and geniality of his address, and the cordiality of his manners had added the charm of a personal regard to the admiration which his brilliant talents and great public services naturally created among every class of his fellow-countrymen. (Cheers.) Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, in responding to the toast, said the first thought that must arise upon such an occasion in every mind was that the House of Commons had just lost its most dis tinguished member. Lord Palmerston was a man who had won the esteem, regard, and affection of every person in England, and not in England alone, for his name was known and valued in every quar ter of the globe. He was respected and beloved as a man who had never made an enemy and never de serted a friend. He had left us in a state of peace, and his memory would long be cherished by his country as that of one of the greatest of her bene factors. (Hear, hear.) The next toast was " The Health of the Masters and Wardens of the Twelve great Livery Compa nies," which was acknowledged by Mr. Vinning, the prime warden of the Fishmongers' Company. Some other toasts followed, and the company separated shortly before 11 o'clock. The musical arrangements were under the direc tion of Mr. J. L. Hatton. --- A meeting of gentlemen interested in promoting the industrial education of the people was held on Tuesday evening, in the Prince of Wales Hotel, Dublin, for the purpose of appointing a committee to bring under the notice of the Government and the public, in any re-arrange ment of the educational system of this country, the claims of the Irish industrial classes togrertter encouragement for industrial education. Mr. Frank Thorpe Porter occupied the chair. A committee was appointed for the above pur pose, and held its first sitting immediately afterwards. TESSELATED PAVEMENT AT EXETER.—Workmen employed in sinking the foundations for a new church at Exeter have come, at a dep th of 10ft., upon some portions of tessolated pavement, evidently of great antiquity. We understand that the British Museum and South Kensington Museum will be closed on Friday, the 27th inst., being the day appointed for Lord Palmerston's funeral. }rte • - : , 4ath i .

AN AMERICAN DIVORCE CASE.—The New York Tribtine tellsthe following singular story with refer ence to the case Gabrilla Saeltzer against Alexande r Saeltzer, recently tried in the Supreme Court. In this case a divorce was procured last October, at the instance of his wife, and the husband has since married in Hoboke n another lady. The original wife now asks that the divorce procured by her, or at least in her name, be se t aside, and the judgment opened, and in support of her motion tells in affidavits the following strange story She was, she says, attached to her husband, but he, some three years ago, commenced to ill-treat her, accused of infidelities, treated her with p ersona l v iolence, 10- "' talked of procuring a divorce from her. At his install° she went to his lawyer, Mr. Wetmore, with a friend, a O r ' Ludicus, who confirms her affidavits, and after some die cussion Mr. Wetmore suggested that the husband must he a monomaniac in his desire to be separated from her ; thst the best cure would be to seem to fall in with his mania an d , take some apparent steps for a divorce. Out of love an affection for him, and in the mere intention to cure him 11 this fun fooling, she signed the complaint to give colour t ° the deceit, and supposing it would never go further. Sale time after she was shown by her husband a paper purport" ing to be a decree of divorce, but believed it to be mereli ti further step in the deceiving of her husband for his goOd• In this impression she rested till she heard that he was ing with another woman as his wife. She says too that had received, at the time of their marriage, from her, $ 6OO l afterwards from her brother's estate $5OO, and from 0010 sources 63,000, all belonging to her, and which, with a proper allowance for alimony, she would have claimed, had the suit for divorce been intended to be carried to decree. She further denied having heard of the witnesses in the divorce suit. Mr. Wetmore and Mr. Saeltzer generally and specifically every portion of this atoll' Mr. Wetmore says that the plaintiff came to him, told him she had been badly treated, and named to him tb ° witness who testified on the divorce as knowing som e thing she did not know what, and requesting him t ° commence a suit for a limited or complete divorce , he should think the facts warranted ; that there was nj° talk whatever about a monomania of the defendant not. after two or three interviews, when Mr. Ludicus sum gested something of the kind; that after both ti l l wife and Ludicus seemed anxious that the defendant sho ul ' be shut up as a lunatic, Mrs. Saeltzer expressing her fears that unless this was done he would continue to annoy b er ; and the deponent assuring them that he saw no ground treating him as a lunatic; that she had called on him peatedly at his house and urged him to hasten the procee" ings for divorce, and had been fully acquainted throug h ' out with all the steps taken for that purpose. Mr. Saeltee'ci made affidavit that the married life of the parties D . been unhappy, and threats had been made by the Pis ir , tiff, and also by himself, of proceedings for divorr.", and that after a quarrel of more than ordinary /1°,.1 lence she had demanded a divorce, and he 11 % given her the direction of Mr. Wetmore as lawyer ; that Mr. Wetmore was but a. casual a c quaintan ce ; whom he had met once when giving evidence in tb ,4 M ar ine Court ; that sincerely desiring a divorce, an d being able to disprove the allegations of the complaint, Pci had not put in any defence; that both Mr. 'Wetmore 911,1 Mrs. Saeltzer had served him with a decree in the suit, al 'a that during the progress of the suit Mrs. Saeltzer &pas te s . secretly from his house, and stayed away some eight that all the money Mrs. Saeltzer ever received from he r r o latives was applied to her own use; that alibis proper t id the time of the divor ce con sisted of $2,700 in bonds a „ -- cash, eight lots in Hoboken worth about $2,000, plate a, clothing worth $5OO, and furniture worth $BOO ; of this; gave his wife $6OO i n cas h, the eight lots, the furn it % and she had obtai ne d the plate, &c. ; he had since giv ell :e. some money to help to establish her in a boarding -11° D o Since the divorce ho had discovered that a lady wholl' i ,o had not seen for fourteen years was a widow, and iluy married her in New Jersey ; that this lady was w eal t o re and his former wife had always expressed himself than content with the divorce till very lately, and b ° o ge lieved this proceeding to be brought merely for the rul t io of frightening money out of him.
