I LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 18, 1865. The approach of th e fi rs t sess i on o f th e new H ouse . of Commons naturally gives ris e to a good deal of d i scussion, and a good many wise suggestions for improving the conduct of affairs. Now is the time for theories of all kinds to be put forward, for the introduction of new schemes and the resuscitation of old plans, their advocates hoping, perhaps, to find a fresh Parliament more impressible than its prede cessors. Parliamentary Reform is by no means the only direction in which the energies of our amateur politicians extend, and as there is unfortunately always " ample room and verge enough" for im provement in the best mundane arrangements, they have scope enough for their ingenuity. Financial questions come so very closely home to the feelings and convictions of all of us, that it is not surprising if the means of raising, and the manner of adminis tering the national revenue are brought very fre quently under discussion. Taxation of any kind is .certainly a very unpleasant thing, but it is a necessary - evil, and if the inhabitants of a new coun try have the privilege of making no forced contri butions for the public benefit, the residents under an older system possess pretty substantial advan tages in return for the visit of the tax collector. This estimable and indispensable functionary is generally a very unwelcome guest, yet there are persons who would be willing to increase rather than diminish th e amount of his claims on their A little b roc h ure entitled p u rse and patience. g, Direct and Indirect Taxation," which has lately appeared, purposing to set forward the views of a " Liberal Elector, ,, in c li nes to the tax collector's side in opposition to the voluntary contributions we make to the national exchequer through the medium of the Customs and E xc i se duties. It is somewhat irregular to find a "Liberal Elector" advocating the abolition of the malt duty, which is generally supposed to be more particularly a Conservative measure, yet he takes for his text a s entence of Mr. GLADSTONE'S in his speech of 1865, in ' whic h the Chancellor of the Exchequer declared that " the abolition of the malt duty would be the death-warrant of the whole of our system of indirect taxation." The writer of this little pamphlet, so far from considering this an objection to the pro posed abolition, believes that the substitution of direct for indirect taxation would be " an object worthy of the ambition of the Liberal party," and asks why its members do not unite for the purpose. But we apprehend that on this matter, as on some more closely connected with their political profes sions, the Liberal party would exhibit some consi derable differences of opinion.- Taxation is like a heavy burden, which the bearer shifts from shoulder to shoulder, thinking whichever side he has it on that it would be lighter on the other. At first sight when we look at the matter it seems very pleasant to propose having tea, coffee, tobacco, malt, wine, spirits, and a good many other of the comforts:and luxuries of life totally unencumbered by those in convenient duties which give the shopkeeper and other agents so very convenient an excuse for over charging the public. But although to the political economist at his desk it may seem a much more simple and advantageous system for all payments to be made direct to the Government, and every one, after paying his direct taxes, to be left to buy what he will free of burden, the man of limited income will at once perceive the drawbacks to the proposed change. Every one knows the inconve nience of paying a fixed sum out of a limited amount, and the small scope which such an arrangement leaves for management or contrivance. The clerk or small trader, with an income of two or three hun dred a year, will not thank the financial reformers for doubling or trebling his income tax, and taking off the duties on wine, tobacco, and other luxuries which he never touches. A man may accommodate his inclination to his circumstances. As the expenses of his family increase he may reduce his superfluities, but the tax collector can make no such allowance. If he knows, from any exceptional cause, that he will have extra demands upon his purse, he may alter his way of living to meet them, but the tax paper will not increase or dimi nish to suit his inconvenience. It can only take note of his year's income, and if the re gular £2OO or £3OO has been received it will not deduct the expenses of apprenticing his son, or paying for a daughter's wedding or a doctor's bill. It is upon the large and struggling class who are ranged under that elastic schedule D, which in cludes the QUEEN and the chimney-sweep, that the Income Tax presses most heavily, and the great saving which our author would make in their weekly housekeeping (from which, however, he would deduct half for the direct taxation) would ill suffice to atone for the addition to its weight. The Income Tax has always been unpopular among all classes in this country, though, no doubt, it is a very useful and reliable assistant to the financier. Both direct and indirect taxation have their merits and their disadvantages, and as, in spite of re formers and philosophers, our social and political systems cannot be exactly squared and conducted on rigid mathematical principles, perhaps the best way of settling the difficulty is to adopt a middle course, and by continuing a moderate combination. of both to avoid the evils and inconveniences in separable from an exclusive adoption of either. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON'S remarks upon Education are always worthy of attention, and those who take an interest in such subjects will be glad of . the oopportunity of perusing the speech made by the right hon. baronet at Kidderminster on Wednesday. Several influential persons were present, and the proceedings assumed a very animated character. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved a very appropriate reso lution, to the effect that " the continued increase in the numbers of candidates for examination during the eight years enumerated in the annual report of the Union of Institutes, is highly encouraging to educational efforts, and by tending to raise intel lectual attainments and the social condition of the working classes, helps to promote the best interests of the country at large." It is encouraging to notice the great increase that has taken place in the numbers of those who attend the night schools, and such statistics as were furnished the other night afford unmistakeable signs of the good that is being done by the energetic efforts of those who promote these undertakings. Sir J. PAKINGTON mentioned that in the first year of the union, 1858, the classes and night schools contained only 34.2 pupils, but the numbers had increased until now we find that they reckon 1,443 pupils. Surely this is cheering intelligence, and should silence the remarks of those who have been very ready to sneer at these attempts, and predict but a short existence to the schemes of education among these classes. It proves that the notion is gaining ground, and that education can no longer be confined to the affluent. The right hon. baronet gave an amusing instance of the mistakes which are constantly being made by a certain set in society, who look down with contempt upon the praiseworthy efforts of those who would extend the cultivation of the mind in every possible direction. He happened the other day to overhear a conver sation between two ladies who lamented the scarcity of servants now-a-days ; one of them expressed her perplexity and the other explained the cause of the evil as that " horrid education." " It turns the heads of the women," said the Hon. Sir J. PAKING TON. He hoped there were no persons present who for one moment entertained the notion that " PROVIDENCE had blessed this favoured country with great wealth, great prosperity, and a teeming and prosperous population, in order that one-half of that population might be kept in ignorance to supply the other half with cooks and housemaids." Such a course of reasoning is false to the best interests of society, and subversive of all sound have doctrin es o f i mprovement and moral culture. We av g e but a p oor s h ow i n a b o li s hi ng t h e custom of kepi made serf s and putting down the slave trade, if to suit the benighted fancies of prejudices and selfish in dividuals we are to allow our fellow crea tures to waste their talents and suffer their faculties to rust and decay, stultifying the gifts of their MAKER to suit the arbitrary notions of exclusiveness. wills these a n d o i u e n s e iN e . h sou were h e r a course as that advocat e d e All tight-thinkin g personbsy • unfortunately the exponents of the views of too many. How much wise-minded and truer is it to do our utmost to forward the condition of those who have not been able by their birth and fortune to command educational advantages. Sir J. PAKINGTON de clared that he was happy to think the great ma jority of his countrymen considered that the more they diffused blessings of education, and the more they " enabled the working classes of the country to cultivate and improve those intellectual faculties which GOD had given them, the greater would be our national happiness, and the more enduring our national greatness." Such are noble sentiments, worthy of all honour and appreciation, that deserve to cannot e s l be t i o e f o zl in the theminds of the community, and extolled or too widely dis seminated. Crime and cruelty vanish in a sur prising degree, and as education is advanced and Prospers, that is to say, education in its proper sense, a course of instruction that trains the mind in the knowledge of religion and the respect of virtue, besides the mere acquirements of informa tion in the abstract. It is because of the signs and tokens which we have received of the benefits and blessings that flow from the diffusion of knowledge that the leading men of the day have came forward so energetically to promote the educational movement, and due credit should be accorded to them for- it. Their time cannot be better spent, nor can their energies be directed to a nobler end than to encourage their fellowmen to improve their minds and devote their faculties to the end for which they were directed. This is the sort of work which will turn to account when " the long day of life with all its labours is over for eternity," and it is no exaggeration to say that it is work which must last and increase in strength and perfect in comeliness, while coming years shall wax and wane. It is a cheering thought to encourage those who now strive in the infancy of this effort, as it may be called, to dwell upon the bright prospect of its fruition. In some respects the lines of the poet may be expressive to illustrate this vision : "See a long race the spacious courts adorn— See future sons and daughters still unborn ! In crowding ranks on every side they rise Demanding life, impatient for the skies." Sir JOHN PAKINGTON mentioned one great ob stacle, which has along militated against the cause of " popular education," and that is the impossi bility of keeping the children of the working classes at school beyond a very early age. This drawback has been touched upon by almost all who advert to the subject, and it is met with in every year's report " presented by the inspectors to Parliament." Since it is out of the question to prevent this evil in a great measure, the next best thing will be to pro vide a remedy in the form of imparting instruction to those whose studies have terminated at so early a period. To enable the working classes to complete that education which has been left in so imperfect a state in early life is a great desideratum, and there can be no reason why such an attainment should prove impracticable, and if those who are com pelled to labour so incessantly can combine cultiva tion with work and cultivate their faculties, the happiest results must follow. It is perfectly true, as the right hon. baronet stated, that Parliament has literally voted money, and the clergy and minis ters of all religious denominations have devoted time, but all the efforts of the friends of progress and enlightenment could not conduce to keep the children at school beyond an early age. It would be against the feeling of the people of this country for any enactment of the Legislature to enforce a compulsory attendance up to a certain age, as is the case in Germany and other nations. The " practical difficulty" must, therefore, be met and overcome in the right spirit, and unions such as this referred to must be the real means which can afford compensation to those so sadly injured by their parents' over-care for making money, regardless of consequences. Social educational institutions ought to be encouraged in every way by those who sincerely desire the social and moral improvement of the lower orders, as well as the benefits of intellectual training in the abstract. Sir E. WINNINGTON, M.P., moved a reso lution affirming the " desirability of establishing institutes in• every town and village in the country." At present there is scarcely a town with more than than 2,000 inhabitants without an institute, bnt it is found difficult to carry out the attempt in villages, partly because the elder people are so ignorant. The hon. baronet referred to the subject of novel read ing, and declared with great great justice that the artisans had only formed their tastes in that respect from the classes above them. It is a great mistake for people to decry the practice of novel reading in Lobo, and surely if any one has a right to the enjoy ment of such a pursuit it must be those who are compelled to devote so much time to labour. There are few novels which will not increase the know ledge and extend the reflections of the working ' classes, and none of those which the council of a union would approve of are likely to have hurtful tendencies. Mr. CHARLES DICKENS made a very just observation, when a remark on this subject was made to him. He said that the " English labour ing population had the hardest work possible, and that, notwithstanding the acknowledged excitement of novel reading, these tales generally had a good moral attached to them." It is to be trusted that the efforts of those who are striving to promote the cause of education will succeed to the extent that they deserve, and too much acknowledgment can not be made for their services. Their work is worthy and honourable in the sight of GOD and man, and they may rest assured that they sow that others may reap a goodly and gracious harvest, for generations still unborn shall rise up and call them blessed. It is not surprising that the outrageous conduct of Spain towards the Republic of Chili should have called forth indignant remonstrances from all un prejudiced observers. The merchants of Liverpool, whose interests are deeply concerned in the affair, have, we are glad to see, adopted prompt and active measures. A large and influential meeting of gen tlemen interested in the Chilian trade was held, yesterday, at Liverpool, Mr. TURNER, M.P., in the chair, at which the attitude assumed by Spain, and its effect upon British commerce, were commented on. The Chairman, in itro ducing the subject, observed that it was un necessary for him to enlarge upon the details of what had taken place, since most of those present had private sources of information, in addition to the full accounts published in the columns of the press. So far as could be learned, the blockade was entirely without justification, but there was reason to fear that the success which attended Spain's attack upon Peru had led to this unwarrant able assault upon Chili. Mr. TURNER added that he thought the trading community had a right to ask the Government for all the information they possessed, and also to ask them for energetic mea sures for the protection of their interests. How great those interests are, we may learn from the statement of Mr. NICHOLSON, a gentleman present, who said that the Chilian exports and imports which, in 1849, only amounted to $8,700,000, in 1864 were $24,000,000, or between six and seven millions sterling. Certainly the representatives of so large and important a trade have good right to demand from their Government some protection against such an uncalled for and unwarrantable attack, and we are not surprised to find that the deputation ap pointed by the meeting left Liverpool last evening in order to present the memorial, which was unani mously resolved upon, to Lord CLARENDON this himself morni ng. ith W fi e rm ho n p e e ss tl a i i a l t d t j h u e dg n m ob e l n e t e i a n rl th w is ill s a to c r q m ui y t inauguration of his official duties. There can be no doubt of the course which should be promptly fol lowed, and which hfts been already indicated by the combined protest of the diplomatic body. The vessels of England and France should protect the ports of Chili and prevent the enforcement of the blockade, a course which we have very little doubt that the American Government will already have followed. The idea of a Power like Spain attempt_ ing to enforce a blockade in defiance of the three greatest naval Powers is preposterous; but probably, as Mr. TURNER observed, the success which she has already obtained with Peru, has encouraged her to believe that she would be allowed to tyrannise over a weaker State as she pleased. But large commer cial interests are not to be at the mercy of every aggressive or unscrupulous nation which may wish to enrich itself at the expense of an inoffensive state. The claims which Spain puts forth against the Republic remind one forcibly of the old fable of the wolf and the lamb, and are, in fact, nothing more than a pretext for plunder. The insulting conduct of Admiral PAREJA, the extra vagant demands which be made, being such as no independent power could for a moment submit to, and the absurdly brief period which he allowed for deliberation, clearly indicate that an amicable agreement was the last thing desired or expected. If the conduct of Spain towards Chili is to be tole rated by the great Powers there is an end at once of all the restraints of civilisation and the faith of treaties. Might will, henceforth, be right, and the protectorate of the most yowerful nations will be nothing more than a mete verbal pretence. We hope that a deputation of the Liverpool merchants will succeed in calling forth a plain and emphatic declaration of the intention of the Government to take immediate steps to restrain the aggressive in clinations of Spain, else they will fairly lay them selves open to the charge of being equally indiffe rent to the interests of their own people and to the principles of right and justice.

Memorial to Lord Palmerston. ,b,.,___ A meeting was held on Thursday evening, in the Guildhall, Tiverton, to consider the subject of rais ing a memorial to the late representative of the borough in Parliament—Lord Palmerston. The Mayor, H. S. Gill, Esq., presided, and there was a large and influential attendance. In opening the proceedings, the CHAIRMAN said he could not refrain from expressing his gratification at finding the meeting so largely attended. There could be no more fitting place than that borough for a memorial to the great statesman whose loss was so universally deplored, and who had been re moved at a time when his wise counsels were so much needed. During the 30 years that he was their member he steadily refused all temptations to leave Tiverton, and from the day on which he had been first returned as member for the borough he had stuck to it. (Hear, hear.) The memory of the late Prince Consort had been commemorated by all classes joining in memorials, and he believed the same respect would be shown to the deceased Pre mier. He moved : "That this meeting desires to express its deep sense of the national loss sustained by the decease of the Right Honourable Lord Pal merston, and especially of the loss sustained by this borough, of which for so many years he was the faithful and efficient representative." (Cheers.) Mr. F. HOLE seconded the proposition. Lord Palmerston's character was so well known and thoroughly estimated, not only throughout England, but the world, that nothing he could say could raise him in the estimation in which his memory was held. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried. Mr. J. H. AMORY said it bad been the lot of but few to know the lamented Premier so intimately as ' he was known by the constituents of this borough. When Lord Palmerston first came among them he did not come as Prime Minister of England, and . though he was a man of great talent, his merits were not so easily appreciated as in later days. He (Mr. Amory) therefore thought they might take some credit to themselves for having put him in the position of their representative. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Amory then moved : " That it is desirable to com memorate the long connection of Lord Palmerston with Tiverton and this county by some fitting and permanent memorial to be established in Tiverton, and in which the co-operation of the county may be fairly hoped for." (Cheers.) The resolution was seconded by the Rev. W. C. MONCRIEFF, and carried. The Rev. J. B. HuanEs proposed, and Mr. S. GATH seconded, the following resolution, which was also carried : " That the form and character of such memorial be referred to a committee, who shall report thereon to an adjournment of this meet ing, after baying made all necessary inquiries." The Mayor, town council, and magistrates were elected on the committee. The meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding. THE SHENANDOAL—Mr. Dudley, the United States Consul at Liverpool, has docided to send the noto rious Shenandoah to New York, and, according to present arrangements, she will leave the Mersey next Tuesday under the command of Capt. Freeman. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) -o- -- POLAND. WARSAW, Nov. 18.

On my way through this city to Richmond I have seen some of the English newspapers of the 17th of October, denying the accuracy of the statement I sent you concerning a despatch from Mr. Seward to the United States' Minister at France on Mexican affairs. Ido not know what was the " official autho rity" upon which my letter was contradicted, but I do know that the authority I had for the informa tion sent to you was far higher than any which could be obtained in England at that date. Indeed, it was not probable that any one in London could have heard of the despatch to which I referred, since it was only sent to France a few weeks immediately pre ceding my letter. Without, however, discussing these contradictions, it is my duty to inform you that the news I sent on October 4 was substantially true. I professed only to give the "tendency" of the de spatch, but I am now in possession of further par ticulars on the subject,whichlgive to you as correct to the very letter. Time will show whether my news from Washington or that which is obtained in Lon don is most worthy of belief. One English journal states that had the Egyptian !orce to which I referred ever been organised, the fact must have been known in London before it came to public knowledge in this country. In that case it is curious that no one in England should have known that Nubian troops have actually been in Mexico as part of the French force ever since the Emperor Napoleon went there. If anybody in London knows better than Mr. Seward on this point, then I must be wrong ; not otherwise. The Pasha of Egypt offered to organise a force of Nubians for the service of the Emperor Napoleon in Mexico. They were sent, and are in Mexico at this moment. Mr. Seward's recent despatch was pro voked by the fact that the United Ssates' Consul at Alexandria sent word to his Government of a fresh Nubian force being fitted cut for service in Mexico to replace that sent nearly four years ago. When the first force was despatched the American Go vernment was not in so good a position to take ex ception to the proceeding as it is now. It had then a domestic war on its hands which taxed all its energies. It has now under its authority a people exasperated at what they regard as a flagrant viola tion of a favourite principle, known as the " Monroe doctrine," and demanding that the French should be compelled to withdraw from this continent. Before proceeding any further with my own statement, let me quote part of an article from last night's New York Evening Post, a journal of moderate character and considerable influence. The article is founded on the news I sent to you on the 4th ultimo, and, although the extract is rather lengthy, it is worth reading with attention : " We suppose the English journals are right in discredit ing the Times' report. There is no reason to believe that Mr. Seward has yet made a firm declaration to the Empe ror of the nature reported. The Star, which positively contradicts the rumour, seems to speak by authority'— which means after communication with Mr. Adams. Nevertheless, it would be the wisest course in our Govern ment to notify Napoleon that he must send no more troops to Mexico. If he em be made to understand plainly and certainly that he has gone to the length of his tether there —that the next step will assuredly get him into trouble —that unless he intends to go to war with the United States he must stop at once all intermeddling on this I continent ; if by honest, plain language he could be convinced of the real state of sentiment here and of the danger he is drifting into, we might hope to avert a war between the two countries. But, incurable tem porizer as he is, persistent trickster, always trying how far he can go, how near he may shave Point Dan gerous, easy words and an uncertain attitude on our part are sure to tempt him to overstep his safe limits. We hope, therefore, that the President, if he has not already administered to Napoleon, not a menace, but a serious warning, will do so at once. In such affairs delays are dangerous ; trifling will drift us into war, and no patriotic American wants another war with anybody. Let Mr Seward tell Napoleon to get out of Mexico.' That is all we need. Congress will meet in 30 days. One of its first acts will be to overhaul our relations with France. In April, 1864, while we were in the middle of a great war, and had our handsfull, the House of Representatives passed by a unanimous vote the following resolution : " Resolved, &c.—That the Congress of the United States are unwilling, by silence, to leave the nations of the world under the impre ss i on th a t they are indifferent spectators of the deplorable events now occurring in the Republic of Mexico ; and they therefore think fit to declare that it does not accord with the policy of the United States to acknow ledge a monarchical Government erected on the ruins of any republican Government in America, under the auspices of any European Power.' We have since triumphantly concluded our war. Does any one believe that Congress will care less now about theFronch usurpation in Mexico than it did at a time when our own perpetuity as a nation was endangered ? A war with France can be brought about only by the blunder of suffering Napoleon to believe that we are not in earnest. The coun try will hold to a strict account any one whose official ut terances shall cause such a fatal misunderstanding. It is certain that all parties in this country are determined the French shall go out of Mexico. Congress will hasten, no doubt, in December to express that opinion ; and what the nation wants and. Congress declares will be accomplished, whether the Emperor of the French likes it or not." That these words express the feeling of the American people is absolutely certain. If any one doubts it, let him come out here and ascer tain the truth for himself. Under correction, I submit that America is a more favourable stand point for judging of the tone of American feel ing than London. The people, I repeat, would rather go to war with France than see her remain in Mexico. You will not find this statement con tradicted by a single journal in all America when it is re-published out here from the Times. They would, of course, much prefer that France withdrew peaceably ; but if she will not do that they mean to make her go. That is their own language, used at every public meeting, and at every dinner table, and in every paper, from Maine to California. General Grant has over and over again made known his dis content that France is not pressed to leave Mexico before the army under him is disbanded, In point of fact, the Government is standing between the public sentiment and France. But in this country,. at any rate; it cannot altogether disregard public sentiment. It must fall in with it to a certain ex tent, and in that spirit there is no doubt that Mr. Seward's despatch was written. I will now give you further details about the de spatch, and, whether these details are believed in England or not, they are true all the same. It was addressed to Mr. Bigelow, at Paris, some time in September last. It directed him to bring to the notice of M. Drouyn de Lhuys the fact that the United States' Government had been informed that additional Nubian troops were about to be sent to Mexico by France. It is set forth that when the first force was despatched from Egypt the Govern ment did not interfere, because it was engaged in settling its own domestic differences ; that, as the Emperor was aware, it had now abolished slavery in its own country, and could not but look with dis favour upon an attempt made by a foreign Power to introduce negroes into any part of this continent against their will. The United States' Government had been informed that the Pasha's negroes were compelled to take service in Mexico against their inclination, and were even forcibly thrust on board the ships which were to carry them to this country. The French Government was warned that Congress had repeatedly and decidedly affirmed that the Monroe doctrine must be maintained, and the Exe cutive and the people looked with very serious con cern upon the past and present movements of France in Mexico. This may not be the precise language of the despatch, but it is faithfully its tenour and import. The despatch was sent not only to France, but to the United States' Ministers at Alexandria and Constantinople. I must further state—and state it on the very best authority—that the views of the United States' Government on the subject are these :—lt holds that neither a monarchical or all imperial form of government will ever be tolerated by the people on this continent, because it would be opposed to the whole spirit of their political system. it considers that the Emperor took an unfair advantage of the American Government in placing Maximilian on the Mexican throne at a time when its hands were tied. It believes that neither the French nor the English nation would approve a deliberate attempt to re-introduce slavery in America, and it regards the compulsory service of negro troops in Mexico as a form of slavery. It does not wish to go to war with France, but it does wish to protect and defend those political principles which the American people are most attached to. These are the opinions of the Government. If anybody knows them beiter than the Government itself, then reject the foregoing statement. TIIE EAST. We take the following• letter from the Levan Herald of November Bth : " ALEPPO, Oct. 24. " The cholera has at last disappeared from the town, and business is once more resuming some thing like an appearance of animation. Not that the epidemic has altogether left us ; it is still ravaging the country districts, notably those of Antab and Marasch. In the last district the Go vernor, Achir Pasha, has fallen a victim. His loss will be regretted, as he was' an able administrator, and had done much for the population to redeem the melancholyreminiscences of his conduct at Belgrade. During the unfortunate bombardment of the town he commanded the fortress, and the Servian people will never forget what they call the violence and folly he showed on that occasion. However he may be regarded by foreigners, there is no doubt either of his ability or of his patriotism towards his own country, and Turkey will miss a devoted and intelligent functionary,:acting with unquestionable success in a quarter where it will be difficult to find a sucessor of equal merit. " Our officials are gradually returning, and we are getting over the gloom which has so long hung over the town, where the deserted streets were of themselvys sufficient to predispose any one to cho lera, or any other complaint which chanced to be rife. Our Governor has shown himself at last, and we can only hope that he will do something to re pair the mischief left behind by the epidemic, since he could do nothing to check it when it was present. There is, as might be expected, an enormous amount of distress among the poorer classes, who have been virtually deprived of work for two months, while many families have lost those who were able to work for them. The winter is before us, and unless the authorities bestir themselves, the results of the cho lera will be worse than its actual ravages. Itis stated on authority that the works of the railway hence to Suedia will be begun before the close of the year. If this can be done it will be a great boon to the population, as a resource until business is oncemore restored to its proper condition. This, lam afraid, it will take a long time to do, so complete has been the derangement and upset of affairs caused by the recent calamity,-and increased by the flight of those whose presence alone could have kept matters in proper order, and prevented that uni versal panic to which the entire suspension of busi ness was mainly due. "In the Gliiaour-dagh, now that tranquillity is restored, Dervish Pasha and Djevdet Effendi are busy providing those means of industrial prosperity and endeavouring to create among the people habi tudes which will prevent future outbreaks. They are establishing villages in many points of the moun tain, especially on the roads leading to Beglan and to Payos, in order to preserve the communication as free from marauders as possible. Their object appa rently is to make Payas the port of Marasch. This will be the foundation of a new era of prosperity to the province, as, if the communications are secure, the passage from Marasch to Payas will occupy a couple of days, and the productions of the country, finding a ready means of transport, will be stimu lated to a degree hitherto unknown, When a fair inland trade is once established, we shall hear no more of revolts and outbreaks among the tribes."

The Prince and Princess of Wales. LONG MELFORD, SUFFOLK, Friday. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales having accepted the invitation of Lord Alfred Paget to visit him next week at his lordship's seat, Long Melford, the inhabitants conferred with his lordship as to giving their royal highnesses a proper reception, and committees were formed, a subscription entered into, and everything done to carry out what, is determined upon as per fectly possible. Already three large and imposing triumphal arches, between the railway station and the hall, have been erected, and are being decorated. Balconies are being erected along the line of route, and it is expected that every available spot will be taken up, as, from the contiguity of Sudbury, vast crowds are almost -certain to congregate. According to present arrangements, it is under stood that his royal highness will arrive from Sandringham on Tuesday afternoon, by the Haver hill and Melford Branch of the Great Eastern Rail way, a new line, the station of which is not yet completed, but a portion at least is to be finished by Tuesday. There the Salisbury Rifle Corps will be marshalled to recieve their royal higanesses, and along the route to the hall, a distance of nearly two miles, the Long Melford Cavalry, under the com mand of Major Barnardiston, will form the guard of honour. Their royal highnesses are expected to remain the guests of Lord Alfred Paget until Friday morning, and a distinguished party will assemble at the Sall• His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge left town yesterday afternoon on a visit to her Majesty at. Windsor Castle. His Excellency the Bavarian Minister and Baroness de Cetto have arrived at their residence in Hill street, Berkeley-square, from the Continent.

Lady Ward is expected to arrive in town to-dap from Himley Hall, near Dudley. IRELAND. 4) , DUBLIN, Friday Morning. Now that the leaders in the Fenian conspiracy have been committed the public attention is directed to the approaching trial before the judges. All the arrangements for holding the special commission have been completed, and the sheriffs have issued the summonses for the attendance of the grand and petty juries on Monday, the 27th inst. All the prisoners, Stephens included, will be indicted under the Treason Felony Act, the effect of which will be that, in case of conviction, there will be no capital punishment, the extreme penalty being penal servi tude for life. It is believed that the Cork prisoners charged with Fenianism will not be transferred for trial to Dublin, but will be arraigned and tried in that city. Some light (says the Irish Times) appears to have been thrown upon the firing upon the two detec tives matter. We understand that informations have been sworn by threo respectable persons who live near the spot where the transaction occurred, to the effect that they heard the shots fired, and saw the persons whom they believed to have com mitted the deed, running down Crane-lane. The persons who made the information, it is stated, have no connection with the police or any department of the Government. Two men, named Ward and Cleary, were prose cuted at Castlebar on Wednesday for complicity in the Fenian conspiracy. The principal evidence against them was that of Prendergast, an approver, who was formerly in the militia. He swore to having been sworn in and drilled by the prisoners. The magistrates decided on postponing the case and communicating with the authorities at the Castle aii to the course they ought to pursue.
