Sum LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPT. 22, 1865. --.--- Yesterday afternoon Mr. DISRAELI presided at the annual dinner of the Royal and Central Bucks Agricultural Association, and made a very interest ing speech on the occasion. The right hon. gentle man does not pass over agricultural subjects as if they were beneath his notice, as some distinguished politicians are too fond . of doing. On the contrary, he attaches particular importance to them, and al ways takes pains to investigate the circumstances which will the most conduce to the prosperity of those immediately around him, and also affect the interests of the community at large. The present time is rather important respecting agricultural matters, for by the recent affliction of the cattle much damage has been done. Mr. DISRAELI referred to his remarks last year when he cautioned his hearers against being too ready to jump at conclusions, and inferring that things must be bad all over the country because they are so in a particular district. The harvest is a fair one, but, as the right hon. gentleman truly remarked, tha't is not, as usual, the predominant subject of anxiety in men's minds at present. They are filled with disturbance on account of the " my sterious plague" which has occurred and occasioned such terrible ravages in all parts where it has fallen. The leader of the Opposition was able to pay a tribute to the mem bers of ller MAJESTY'S Government for the zeal which they had displayed in organising mea sures to mitigate, as far as possible, the effects of this calamity, so inscrutable in its character, and so deadly in its consequences. At the same time, as he wisely mentioned, it would be well if other plans were adopted besides those already put into Practice. For instance, there is a class of men who make profit of this distress, and go about the country buying up tainted animals, and thus cir culate the disorder to a great degree. Mr. DISRAELI states, with perfect accuracy, that it would be most expedient if " such conduct were acknowledged by the law as offences against the realm, and made subject to a penalty:, Th e right hon. gentleman paid a high compliment to the farmers of Buckingham for the manner in which they had come forward to meet the evil that had fallen upon us. They organised societies and prepared themselves for the emerge ncy in a way which showed that they possessed firmness of purpose and resolution to no mean extent. At the same time if the pest does afflict the county, Mr. DISRAELI thinks it will be advisable to have a general meeting convened, and treat the calamity aS a national and not as a local vi6itation. doubt this would be a good plan to pursue, as by that means the affair would be divested of indivi dual prejudicco and not partake of a class gather ing, but be a general rlyesentative assembly 01 the wants and desires of the inhabitants of the county. In the course of some subsequent remarks whicl, Mr. DISRAELI made at the termination of tht meeting, he alluded to the recent orders given by the Privy Council, and declared that in his opinioi, this plague was not of recent origin. On the con trary, said the right hon. gentleman, " I thought had read in the third ' Georgic' of VIRGIL, unfor tunately a long time ago, an account which in th( minutest details touches this question my idea was that, as her MAitsrY's Ministers are obliged tc remain in London, at least some of them, and soul( of them being men of classical habits and tastes, they had given us a free translation of the third Georgic, by way of a description of the cattle pIaJJ and the remedies to be applied." It is certainly very curious to notice that not only the symptoms are the same as those of the malady of ancient times, but also that the remedies are synonymous. The beasts affected by it are to be killed and buried at once, and the hide was then, as now, prohibited from being of service, neque erat coriis usus ; so that, as the right hon. gentleman observed, in the time of VIRGIL there existed the same complaint, only it was not then called the Russian Plague, probably because they had never heard of Russia. . In illustration of the fulfilment of his predictions, Mr. DISRAELI adverted to the circumstance of the first prize-cup of that day having been given to a " cross between a Down and a Cotswold." Thus the observation he made last year had been sanctioned by the judges who presided on the occa- sion. The right hon. gentleman made some remarks on the general aim and object of such associations as that which then called them together; -and truly stated that they had higher ends in view than to dis cuss the particulars of a good harvest, or to deplore the effect of a bad one. " What we ought to aspire to," said he, "is not only to effect good, but the greatest good." In pursuance of this theme, the right hon. gentleman exhorted those around him to persevere in their efforts to strive to do their utmost to excel. Mr. DISRAELI proved himself a true friend to the association by dwelling upon the importance of exertion and the progress that should be made. The county does not take the position it might, he reminded them, considering its rich .opportunities of excellence, at the same time he cautioned them against abrupt charges and hasty conclusions. " Well consider everything, time is precious, but truth is more precious than time, and therefore it is for you calmly to consider what I have said to-day." Certainly there can be no practical good done and no real advantage gained if the members of Societies and Associations merely forget to flatter each other and congratulate themselves that they thus remedy, defects and provide for defi ciencies. It is only by care and attention that the difficulties which environ such subjects can be ascertained, and, of course, as time goes on, it is necessary to move forward in union with the general progress of the day. Mr. DIsRAELI has made some valuable suggestions to the inhabitants of the county of Buckingham ; and, no doubt, after a time, they will recognise the importance of his remarks and understand the confusion that arises from mixing up local with general societies, which arc, and ought to be, diverse in their arrangements and separate in their plans, although both might work in unison for the furtherance of the common cause at heart—the prosperity of the country—and through that to con duce to the general interests of the community. When any matter of social interest becomes the theme of public discussion, we are not long before we hear the sentiments of the well-known corres pondent of our contemporary who signs himself S. G. 0. Just now the conditions most favourable or unfavourable to public health are prominent topics of the day, and accordingly S. G. 0. gives us his views of the matter in an epistle reflecting on the respective requirements of cattle and Christians. The amount of care and attention bestowed upon the sick cattle appears very un warrantably to have excited the indignation of the writer. Is a cow, he asks, of more value than a Christian, forgetting rather illogically that it is only as supplying the wants of man that the cows get any attention, and that were it not for the effect upon beef and milk they might die unheeded and uncared for. The extent of our humanity towards our cattle has been pretty accurately measured by the degree in which their comfort or wellbeing con cerns ourselves, and the imported cattle might have continued to be subjected to all the old hardships of hunger, thirst, neglect, and exposure, closely pent in stifling holds, or in dirty railway trucks, if we had not suddenly been made to suffer pretty severely in our pockets for our oblivion of com mon humanity. But S. G. 0. has some grounds for indignation, for the truth is that we treat our poor very much as we used to treat our cattle. We suffer them to herd together under the most unfavourable conditions, deprived not only of those comforts which it needs money to procure, but of those common necessaries of healthy life which should be within the easy reach of every man, woman, and child amongst us. Unless our attention is specially called by the out break of a pestilence or the visitation of an epidemic, we are not likely to give much heed to the con stantly repeated story. Typhus in all its forms has grown too common to commands. moment's thought, and our registrars and dispensary doctors preach to us in vain. The very means which the upper and middle classes take to improve their own health, and to put into practice some of those theories about fresh air and ample space which our scientific men are always upholding, tell indirectly against the poor. The great increase of the railway lines, partially consequent upon the demand for suburban houses and the increased suburban traffic, has packed the ahJeady overcrowded poor into still smaller spate ; it has summoned workmen and . .their families to live in those parts where the houses are being the most rapidly demolished ; and, while villas, and terraces, and squares have sprung up in endless repetition, few if any houses for the labour ing classes have been erected about the metropolis. Yet, after all, the question is not au easy one to deal with. Certainly we cannot let all improvements and alterations stand still because they will entail thede molition of the dwellings of the poor, neither can we by any legislative enactment insure clean, whole some habitations, and all the requisites of health, to the masses. " Let the public now say," demands the writer referred to, " whether or no tens of thou sands of Christians are not for ever living and dying 'among us, we knowing well that they have not these common elements of health which we are bound to give our cattle." To this appeal there can be but one answer given, but to the further question, What is being done for the crowded, ill-fed, air poisoned poor of our towns and villages ?" it is more difficult to reply. It is very evident that no place within our jurisdiction should be deficient in trainage, means of ventilation, and supply of water; but when we have secured all this, and even pro vided against excessive crowding of the houses, how ire we to guard against the poor food, dirty habits Jf the people, and against th e d ense c i ty a i r w hi c h ;ti ters their rooms when they open th e i r w i n d ows ? rhe difficulties great that are great, so we lave patience —only- patience does not mean inaction. .‘s regards the dirty habits of the people, that is a n only to be cured by time and instruction. It s useless to hope that landlords will as a rule trouble themselves about the matter, but something alight be done by refusing to let rooms to really wilfully dirty families, but more is to be expected from the gradual spread of education and the consequent refining influence, as well as from the encouragement afforded by a proper supply of iir and water. The latter should be plentifully and onstantly supplied to every house in the metropolis, Swe want to keep off fever and epidemic. The Irainage and cleansing of drains, dustbins, and every )ther accumulation of putrid or refuse matter, should oc strenuously insisted on by every district inspec- tHE SPN, LOICDON, FIiFOAY EVENING, gEPTEMBEW 22 186. • tor of nuisances, but those Ivorthies are too apt to remain at home waiting till the nuisane3 findS them out instead of their finding the nuisance out. The landlords are, in Many insta,nce3, both in town and country, most grievously to blame ; but what can we expect when the holder of an estate can contrive to defy the law which requires him to keep his cottages in a decent and habitable state? The landlords of the fever nests of the metropolis must be perfectly well aware of the condition of their property, but they do not seem to feel that every death caused by preventible evils in their property lies at their doors. Complaint after complaint is made in vain. The owner pushes them off with the assertion that those sort of people are always grumbling, and think of nothing less than of calling in plumber and painter to his aid. There is not much chance for a poor man in complaining about the bad drainage, the deficient water, or other evils. If he does not like the place he may move ; it will not be long empty. Plenty more will be ready to lead the forlorn hope against the fever if he is un willing ; and so case after case of sickness occurs and poisons the air of the district. Low food and I ignorant treatment perpetuate the infection, and a regular fever nest is kept up. It is surely not too much to expect that the law, which is always prompt enough in coming to the assistance of landlords against refractory tenants, should enforce the plain public duty that every man who owns a house shall keep it At for human habitation. Whether or no any clause or statute provides this now, it is quite certain that the rule is not ob served,.but that many house and land-owners re ceive rents for houses and cottages in which health is almost an impossibility. The local authorities of those districts in which 'fever and malaria -are so common - as to be recognised fea tures should at once begin instituting inquiries. They should look to the drainage, the water sup ply, and the means of ventilation. They should see to the dust-bins, the refuse heaps, the unpaved yards, the nuisances of the neighbourhood. Why do they defer these duties till cholera is knocking at the doors ? Typhus has been with us long enough without rousing them into action, yet if the district authorities had set about the work as heartily as they are now confronting the cattle plague, the state of the public health might have been far more satisfactory. Our mortality does not decrease in proportionate ratio with the in crease of our scientific knowledge ; but how can we expect it to do so when we refuse to act upon well-ascertained discoveries. The general public is indifferent on the matter, and it needs the whole course of the immortal fable in which it was necessary for the bull to drink the water before all the machinery could be set in action to get the old woman's pig over the stile ! Public feeling must be aroused and set to work to stir up the rate payers to induce them to influence the municipal authorities and obtain the efficient administration of the laws. If those laws are not sufficiently stringent another session should not be allowed to pass without obtaining the necessary powers, for the present condition of many of our courts and alleys is a disgrace to the civilisation of the age. . - MYSTERIOUS DEATH - 0/AbY FROM POISONING. —Yesterday Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, resumed an inquiry (which had been three times adjourned), into the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Reeve, aged .40, the wife of a veterinary surgeon, residing at 52, Ashburnham-grove, Greenwich. The death is alleged to have occurred through the admi nistration of a certain deadly poison known as veratria, or white hellebore. The jury on the previous occasions had merely met, but did not hear any evidence, owing to the analysis ordered by the coroner not having been completed by Professor Rodgers, of the London University Hospital. Mr. Norton, solicitor, of Clifford's-inn, attended on the part of the deceased's husband. The inquiry was again ad journed; but the coroner called upon Mr. Reeve, the hus r band, to enter into reeognisances of £lOO to appear at the next examination. SUICIDE IN THE SURREY C ANAL. —Yesterday morning the body of a young woman, about 19 years of age, named Wood, was found in the Surrey Canal, the deceased having committed suicide on the night of Sunday last. It appears that the deceased, who was in service, had permission from her mistress to go out on Sunday evening, and called upon a friend near the Old Kent-road. Having stayed soma time she was told it was getting late, when she said it did not matter as she was not going back to her situation, and that she intended to drown herself. Sho then left, and as she was after wards missed the canal' was dragged, with the result above stated. Some unhappiness between the deceased and her mother is alleged as the cause of her destroying herself. WEALTHY PAUPERS.—A fire broke out in one of several cottages that stand on Gus Green, Chelten ham, on Sunday night. One of the cottages was occupied by an old man named Henry White, but better known by the appellative of " Old Harry, the gravedigger at the old cemetery." Nearly X5OO in gold and silver coin was rescued from the old man's cottage, and was carried to the police station, and carefully counted over in the presence of Mr. John Nicholls, the deputy chief constable. Since then the money has been removed to one of the banks of the town, whether the old man allowed it to be conveyed after consi derable persuasion by the police authorities. It is currently reported that" Old Harry" has been in receipt of parochial relief, and it appears that he has been "excused" from pay ing his qTiota of the poor rate. ' The patine will in all pro bability hear more of this matter. We may add that a few months ago an old man, who had been for many years en gaged in repairing the roads, was compelled from sheer in ability to relinquish work, since which time to the time of his death he subsisted upon private charity. During his illness the members of the town commission, to the number of 30, handed the old man over ss. each, believing him to be completely destitute. After his death, however, a bank book was discovered, and it was found that ho had placed in one of the local banks upwards of £2oo.—Birmingham Gazette. TRUE NOBILITY.—A writer in the Oxford Chro nicle argues that incivility caused the downfall of Lord Westbury, and civility the exaltation of Lord Cranworth. Lord Cranworth (says the writer) has always been civil to everybody—ho was even civil to Bloomfield Rush when he tried him for his life. Rush, as perhaps you may remem ber, was very tedious and prolix in his defence, so much so as at last to exhaust the patience of his judge. Lord Cranworth (then Baron Rolfe) interrupted him and told him so, when Bush turned furiously round and cried out, "My lord, if you were on trial for your life, you would expect a little indulgence." Another judge would have been furious, but Baron Rolfe mildly said, " You are right, and I was wrong ; 1 beg your pardon." THE CONDEMNED CONVICT CURRIE.—The pri soner Carrie, convicted on Wednesday at the Cen tral Criminal Court of the murder of Major de Yore, was removed on the evening of the same day to the Kent county gaol at Maidstone. He spoke but little, and appeared to be in a dejected state of mind. He was at once placed in the condemned cell, where he will be watched night and day, till the sentence is carried into effect, which, following the usual custom, would be on the 12th October. The convict, at his own request, will be visited by the Rev. Mr. Greener, the Presbyterian minister at Maidstone. It is not yet known whether the execution will take place at the county prison or at the barracks at Chatham, where the crime was committed. COBDEN AND " THE NATIONALITIES."—It acquits him of the charge—one by no means unfrequently brought against him—of being indifferent and callous to the progress, the struggles, and the wounds of liberty abroad. He was, it must be admitted, extremely cautious as to the' overt expression 'of sympathy for the oppressed peoples of the world. For he had seen how out-spoken utterances from Englishmen had fed such unfortunates with vain hopes of English interference, and thereby in citing them to the prolongation of struggles whose failure made their woes more grievous than before, and entailed upon them additional exasperilted strokes of dynastic ven geance. The remark may seem ungenerous, but we con tsN I ,p l e o enege rr eha t e i ns r e i n s u l o l di ft ss that we think it, to say the least, very questionable whether the Cireassians are not to-day in a worse plight than if Mr. Urquhart had never been born, or employed at Earll n e b C a Czar i s a i ru — sa i h tsh e t e h d e : rs despatches upon Dudley ont yh Stuart's en3oit a gya havers heightened the agonies of the Pules, and whether the nd might not have;been less severe had some one else than Lord I Palmerston been at the Foreign Office in 1848. Be that as it may, M r. Cobden 's course in such matterswas at least and not only self - consistent, b u t p er f ec tl y compa logical, tible with the warmest love of liberty, the most intense hatred of enthroned wrong, and tenderest commiseration for enthralled right.-2 1 PGilchrist's Life of Cobden.

AUSTRIA, VIENNA, SEPT. 21, Evening. The Abendpost (evening edition of the official Wiener Zeitung) in a leading article upon the Im perial Manifesto, states the motives for suspending the validity of the fundamental law upon the Re presentation of the Empire. TheAbendpost points out the impracticable nature of the fundamental law upon the Representation proclaimed in the February patent, and declares the course now about to be pursued to be the only pro per mode of arriving at an understanding with Hungary and Croatia : _ " The suspension of the fundamental law on the Representation by no means involves the suspension of the Constitutional state of things throughout the Empire generally, for the February patent does not of itself form the constitution of the monarchy, which, as is even expressed in Art. 6 of that Patent, consists of the collection of fundamental laws, some revised that were previously in force, and others others newly enacted. " That the constitutional state of things through out the monarchy will not be suspended is also gua ranteed by the provincial diets being called to con stitutional activity at the moment of the suspension of the fundamental law. But the suspension of the working of the Reichsrath necessarily involves that of the lesser Reichsrath, whose continuance would be absolutely impossible. . The constitutional syik, tem granted by the Emperor will now only become a fact, and the obstacles which have opposed its realisation will be removed." VIENNA, SEPT. 22. The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day reproduces an article of the General Correspondenz, stating that a new Austrian loan will be contracted through M. M. Rothschild and some English capitalists. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 22. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day says : " The views expressed by the Moniteur respecting the reserve maintained by Russia on the question of the Duchies are unjust. Russia has from the be ginning not concealed her opinion of the conflict between Denmark and the two German Powers, which she considered had notremained on the ground of European treaties. She did not, however, think proper to encourage the Danish Government in illusions that could not be realised. Russia does not like words where corresponding deeds no not follow. Russia will act as she did two years ago, whenever her interests shall require it. But it is her own affair to judge whether the necessity for acting exists." FRANCE• PARIS, SEPT. 22. The Moniteur of to-day says : " The newspapers are occupied with predictions of a change in the members and policy of the Government, and go so far as to fix the 14th October as the day when these events will take place. "We are authorised to declare that these rumours have no foundation whatever. " They are the invention of evil-disposed persons."

Martin has handed to us the following letter from General Sherman to him (Mr. Marvin), which we beg our readers to read carefully :-- "Head-quarters Military Division of the Mississippi, _ in the Field near Atlanta. " Georgia, Aug. 10, 1864. " Daniel. M. Martin, Sand Mountain, opposite Bellefonte. " My dear old Friend,—When in Larkinsville last winter I inquired after you and could get no positive answer. I wish you had sent me your letter of Jan. 22--which I have just received, for I could have made you feel at ease at once. Indeed, do I well remember our old times about Bellefonte, and the ride we took to the corn-mill and the little farm where I admired the handsome colt and tried to buy it. Time has worn on, and you are now an old man, in want and suffering, and I, also, no longer young, but leading a hostile army on the very road I came when I left Bellefonte, and at this moment pouring into Atlanta the dread missiles of war— seeking the lives of its people. And yet lam the Same William Tecumseh Sherman you knew in 1844, with as warm a heart as ever, and - anxious that peace and plenty shall prevail in this land ; and to prove it I defy Jefferson Davis, Gen. Lee, or Gen. Hood to make the sacrifice for peace that I will personally and officially. I will to-day lay down my power and my honour—already won—will strip myself naked, and my child and wife—stark naked in the world as we came, and begin life anew, if the people of the South will but cease the war, elect their members of Con gress, and let them settle by argument and reason the questions growing out of slavery, instead of try ing to divide our country into two angry halves, to quarrel and fight to the end of time. Our country cannot be divided by an east and west line, and must be one, and if we must fight let us fight it out now, and not bequeath it to our children. I was never a politician, but resigned from the army and lived in California till 1857, when I came back with my wife and three children, who wanted to be near home— Mr. Ewing's, not Mr. Corwin's—but I had the old army so ground in my composition that civil pur suits were too tame, and I accepted an offer as Pre sident of the Louisiana Military Academy. There fore, at the time of Lincoln's election I was at Alexandria, on Red River. I saw, and you must have seen, that the Southern politicians wanted to bring about secession, separation. They could have elected Mr. Douglas, but they so managed that Lincoln's elec tion was made certain, and after they had accomplished this was it honest and fair for them to allege it was a cause of war ? Did not Mr. Breckenridge, as Vice President, in his seat declare Mr. Lincoln the law fully elected President of time United States ? Was it ever pretended the President was our Govern ment ? Do not you know the Congress make the laws, the Supreme Court judges them, and the Pre sident only executes them ? Do not you know that Mr. Lincoln, of himself, could not take away your rights ? Now, I was in Louisiana, and while the planters and mechanics and industrial people were happy and prosperous, the politicians and busybodies were scheming and plotting, and got the legislature to pass an ordinance of 'secession, which was sub mitted to the people, who voted against it, yet the politicians voted the State out, and proceeded to take possession of the United States mint, the forts, the arsenal, and tore down an old flag and insulted it. That, too, before Mr. Lincoln got to Washing ton. I saw these things, and begged Bragg, and Beauregard, and Governor Moore, and a host of personal friAids, to beware. In that was high trea &.on. But they answered, the North was made up of mean manufacturers, of traders, of farmers, who would not fight. The people of the North never dreamed of interfering with the slaves or property of the South. They simply voted, as they had a right to do, and they could not understand why the people of the South should begin to take possession of the United States forts and arsensals until our Government had done something wrong, something oppressive. The South began the war. You know it. I and millions of others living in the South know it, but the people of the North were as innocent of it as your little grandchildren. Even after forts had been taken, public arms stolen from our arsenals and distributed about the angry militia, the brave and honest freemen of the North could not realise the fact, and did not until Beauregard began to fire on t garrison of the United States troops in a fort built by the common treasury of the whole country. Then, as by a mighty upheaval, the people rose and began to think of war, and not till then. I resigned my post in Louisiana in March, 1861, be cause of the public act on the part of the state in seizing the United States' arsenal at Baton Rouge, and went to St. Louis, where I readily got lucrative employment, hoping that some change would yet avert the war. But it came, and I and all of mili tary education had to choose. I repeat that then, AS now, I had as much t love for the honest people of the South as any man living. Had they remained true to the country I would have resisted, even with arms, any attack upon their rights —even their slave rights. But when, as a people they tore down our old flag, and spat upon it, and called us cowards, and dared us to the contest, then I took up arms to maintain the integrity of our country, and punish the men who challenged us to the conflict. Is not this a true picture ? We must maintain the integrity of our country. And the day will come when the little grandchild you love so well will bless us who fought that the United States of America should not sink into infamy and worse than Mexican, anarchy by the act of Southern politicians, who care no more for you or such as lOU than they care for Hottentots. I have never underrated the magnitude of this war, for I know he size of the South and the difficulty of operating in it.. But I also know that the Northern races lave ever since the war began had more patience tnd perseverance than the Southern races. And so ,t will be now—we will persevere to the end. All nankind shall recognise in us a brave and stubborn race, not be deterred by the magnitude of the 'anger Love to Mrs. Martin. "W. T. SHERMAN, Major-General." THE CASE OF THE REV. SAMUEL HAWORTH.- With reference to the conviction of a Norfolk clergyman or assaulting a young woman, reported in our Tuesday's mpression, it is understood that the Bishop of Norwich has suspended the defendant, the Rev. Samuel Haworth, rum the exercise of his ministerial functions, pending an :nquiry which his lordship has resolved upon instituting, regarding the allegations made against him by, the •xmlplainant in giving her evidence when before the nagistrates. The Courrier de Marseilles relates a curious story :—" A noble lady, owner of a chateau not far 'rein Aix, has been taking against the epidemic certain ?recautions of which she had little need, considering the listance of her residence from infected places, and the salubrious air of her fertile . valley. Her property is sur uunded by a wall, with which a town in the middle ages night well be content. The gates have loopholes, and firmed peasants, sharing the terrors of their mistress, keep constant guard. Things aro managed as at Messina and i?alermo; whenever any imprudent person knocks at the sate, he may have the satisfaction of seeing through the loopholes a number of guns pointed at him, and of hearing ruugh invitation to pass ou. Letters directed to this Lutique manor-house are picked up with a pair of tongs, find fumigated. Near the gate there is a pavilion where relations and friends pass quarantine, and it is only after repeated purifications that they are admitted into the chateau." GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Emigration Commissioners chartered yesterday the Africana, ~537 tons, belonging to Mr. G. W. Roberts, Liverpool, for he conveyance of emigrants to Sydney, New South Wales, Lt £l2 9s lld iyr statute adult. Tho Africans will sail rom the Mersey about the 21st of November.

Don Augusto tllloa, the new Spanish Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Italian Court, was officially received by King Vic tor Emmanuel, at 11 o'clock this morning. After having been presented with the usual cere mony, the Minister placed in his Majesty's handy the reply of the Queen of Spain to the King's letter announcing his assumption of the title of King of Italy, as well as the letters by which her Catholic Majesty accredited him to the Court of Florence, in the quality of Envoy Extraordinary and Ministe• Plenipotentiary. In presenting these documents the Minister said : " have the honour to place in your Majesty's hands the letter of the Queen of Spain. my august Sovereign, replying to that of your Ma jesty, notifying that you have assumed for yourself and your descendants the title of King of Italy. " At the same time I have the honour to deliver to your Majesty the letters accrediting me to your august person in the quality of Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary. " The old alliances that have existed at various periods between the Royal Family of Spain and than of your Majesty, and the interests, common to thi nation, having the same origin and now governed by similar political institutions, are a certain pledge that the good understanding, now happily re-esta blished between them, will daily become more consolidated. " In expressing to your Majesty the wishes and sentiments of my Queen and country for you! Majesty's prosperity, and that of your Royal famil3 and people, I venture to hope that I shall be able, by my conduct, to maintain those friendly Lela dons, as well as your Majesty's goodwill and esteem.' The King replied as follows : " Signor Ministro,—l receive with true pleasure the letter in which her Majesty the Queen of Spair graciously replies to the communication I made to her of the new title I have taken, sanctioned by 6( vote of the Italian Parliament, and which is at pre sent annexed to my crown. " The ancient alliances between my family and that of her Majesty Queen Isabella 11. are at the same time that agreeable recollection for both and the pledge of a durable affection between two kin dred nations ruled by homogeneous institutions; allied by traditions of friendship for generations ; and happy in glorious common memories. " With the sincerest feelings of my heart I ex press my good wishes for the prosperity of the , Queen, her family, and her people. "As regards yourself, Signor Ministro, I ani very well satisfied to see you charged with this: `special mission, and to learn that your august Sovereign has selected you to reside at my CQurtiu CRIZENAL COURT.—This Day OLD CO7l a. (Before Mr. .7u,stics £h2e ) T= Ati,MGED l'ft =CST: AT =.7.31.C.17.,Cr7. Henry Zick.rean, aged 27 ; descrited ;I,S a labc - arer, 1'7474 indicted* fcr the murd,r - of Mary Ante Scott. Mr. Poland, who prOsecutcd, stated the circumstatccs of the case, which are tolerably familiar to the public. The prisoner cohabited with the woman Scott, who was the widow of another man. On going home he found the woman drunk, and his tea not ready. She began to light the fire, when the prisoner, his temper, as he said, over coming him, knocked her down and kicked her. From a wound she received from the heel of his boot the woman died. The learned counsel explained the law of the case, and told the jury that if they did not think the prisoner guilty of murder they might convict him of the less crime of maslaughter. Inspector Raymond said the circumstance occurred on the 2d of September, and the prisoner was brought to the station house. He admitted that he had committed the deed, and added that Scott was a widow, whose husband had been dead about five years. She had lived with prisoner for five years. She had two children by her hus band. They had no dispute. When he went in he saw she was the worse for liquor. There was no fire. Prisoner said " Why don't you get my tea ?" She made some kind of a mumbling noise, but he could not tell what she said. Prisoner said " Any way you shall suffer for this. It is not the first or second time you have served me so." While she was trying to light the fire he got out of temper, and struck her. When she fell he kicked her with his foot, and the heel of his boot must have made a gash on her head, which must have caused death. Ho then went into the yard, and, on returning into the house, he had to lift her up, but _found she was immoveable. He laid her head on a small block of wood, and sent for a doctor by a next-door neighbour. He fancied she was led astray by Mrs. Lap theme, of No. 2, White's-buildings. This statement the prisoner made at the station. Witness took it down and read it to him. Prisoner said it was all right. (The boots were produced, and on the heel of one of them was a con siderable quantity of the matter which had adhered to it when the prisoner kicked the deceased). • • Cross-examined by Mr. Lilley, who conducted the de fence—The prisoner made the statement voluntarily. No previous questions were asked him. He was employed at Hartley's Wharf, in which Colonel Beresford was one of the partners. A County Couct summons.was shown to him. Another police-officer was called, and proved that he went to White's-buildings to arrest the prisoner, who told him a similar tale to that deposed to by the inspector. By Mr. Lilley—The prisoner appeared to be overwhelmed with sorrow at what had . occurred. He was crying. He said he had given the woman his wages on Friday night, and that ho expected his tea on the Saturday (the day of the occurrence). • Another police-constable said that on the evening of the occurrence, after the prisoner had been removed to the station, ho went to 3, White's-buildings. He found a knife on the floor with some wood, which appeared to have been recently cut up. He saw some spots of blood upon it. The prisoner subsequently said it was not done with the knife, but with the heel of his boot. By Mr. Lilley—Ho did not find any duplicates about the house. He was not aware that the deceased woman was searched. He only remained at the house until the burial. Mrs. Gregory, of No. 4, White's-grounds, said she had known the prisoner seven or eight months. On the even ing of the occurrence the prisoner came intoher house. He said, " Step in, Mrs. Gregory," but he did not then say what for. She went in. She saw deceased on the floor, and the prisoner resting his arm underneath her. She said, " What have you done ?" He said, " Send for a doctor." She knew little of Sarah Ann Scott, but she knew she was given to bad habits of drinking. By Mr. Lilley—The prisoner was crying bitterly when she went in. In answer to the Judge, witness said the prisoner always treated the woman with kindness. G. Audry.said he lived at 92, Russell-street, Bermondsey, the newt street to White's-buildings. On the evening of September 2, about 20 minutes to five, he saw the deceased. She was not sober. • By Mr. Lilley—She was so much intoxicated that she was staggering about. Another woman was with her, who was also drunk. Deceased was carrying a bundle contain ing clothing. Her daughter was following her. Deceased said to the child—" You little —, if you follow me I will slap jourlace." He had known the woman four or five months, and had seen her intoxicated more than a dozen times. The prisoner always acted kindly and affectionately to her. He had often sat outside the house rather than go in while the woman was in a state of intoxication. When the deceased was drunk she was exceedingly abusive, and he had seen her fighting on several occasions. Mr. Thomas Evans, surgeon, said that on September 2 he saw the deceased on the floor. She was dead, her head resting on a block of wood. He found a severe contusion on the forehead above the left eye, and an incised wound at the back of the head. There was not a great deal of blood. He made a post mortem examination by dissection of the brain. The organs of the body were tolerably healthy. Death was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel. The wound on the back of the head might have been caused by the boot produced. The contusion on the forehead might have been caused by a blow. Mr: Lilley—Or by a drunken person in falling about ? Witness—Undoubtedly. A slighter blow would be likely to produce a rupture of a blood vessel when a person was in a state of intoxication. A witness was called who proved that the age of the de ceased was 28. This was the case on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Justice Shee did not think there was any case of murder made out. Mr. Polland thought that a verdict of manslaughter would meet the justice of the case. Mr. Lilley, in an earnest speech to the jury, contended that at most the case was one of manslaughter. Colonel Francis Marcus Beresford, one of the proprietors of Hartley's Wharf, and magistrate of the county of Surrey, said the prisoner had been in his employment 15 years, since ho was a boy. About 18 months ago ho made him deputy foreman. During the whole of the 15 years he had behaved in a most exemplary way. Several other witnesses were called, who proved that the prisoner had always been a peaucablo, humane, and well conducted young man. Mr. Justice Shoe, in summing up, said that, if under such provocation the prisoner had taken up a deadly weapon and killed the woman with it, there would have been some difficulty in escaping from a verdict of murder. To find a verdict of murder the jury must be convinced that there wa s a previous intention to kill. The learned counsel had told the jury that this was manslaughter at the most, but he (Mr. Justice Shee) must direct them that it Was man slaughter at the least. He did not like to withdraw the question d murder from the jury, but it would be for them to decide whether-the crime with which the prisoner stood charged was one of murder or manslaughter. The jury, without retiring, returned a verdict of Man slaughter, and strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy. • Mr. Lilley asked that he might call one or two witnesses as to the character of the woman, with a view to mitiga tion of punishment, and some evidence was given. Mr. Justice Shee, in pronouncing sentence, said he should attend to the recommendation of the jury, seeing clearly the grounds on which it proceeded. The prisoner had been guilty of a most unmanly crime. The woman was drunk and he was sober, and although he did not in tend to kill her ho did actually destroy the life of the deceased. He ordered him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for nine calendar months. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) MADAME VALENTINE'S CASE. At the sitting of the court this morning Madame Valen tine, who was yesterday convicted of perjury, was brought up for judgment. Madame Valentine, through 31. Albert, the interpreter of the court, said—My lord, I beg for a few minutes' in dulgence. The verdict against me yesteday was wrong. lam not guilty. I did not tell any one that I was going to leave the country. I never meant to go away. I never told the girls so. I said I should go to Scotland, but I should not have been out of England, and should have been able to come back. I did nurse one of Lafoucarde's girls for eight weeks after her confinement. I paid fot her confinement, for her maintenance, for her rent, and for the doctor, and for the interment of the child when it died. I gave her 500 francs to set her up as a laundress. I came to this country upon the 25th of September, 1863, having in my possession £5,000 sterling. I have been twice before an English jury, once at Westminster, and once at this court, and both times the trial was for me. My solicitors have squandered my property and destroyed my honour. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said he could not alter the verdict of the jury, but should attend to their re commendation to mercy. The case of the man who was witness against her yesterday was different. lie had com mitted perjury for some purpose. The sentence of the Court was that she be committed to prison for nine months, with hard labour. • THIRD COURT. (Beforo the Common Sergeant.) THE ROBBERY AT MESSRS. MAPLES. James Harris, French polisher, and Ellen, his wife, were indicted for stealing two table covers and other articles, the property of John Maples, and Samuel Turrell was also indicted for feloniously receiving the same, knowing the property to have been stolen. The facts of the case have already been fully reported in The Sun. The jury found Turrell and Harris guilty, but acquitted the female. The Common Sergeant sentenced Harris to 5 years' penal servitude for stealing, and Turrell to 7 years' penal servi tude for receiving the property, knowing it to have been stolen. MISSING VESSEL,—The Johann, Lange master, sailed fromTadang on the 11th of February fur Holland, and has not since been heard of. HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Sept. 21. The weather continues delightful in Deeside. and the Queen takes drives and rides daily. On Tues day morning her Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Helena, Lady Churchill, and General Grey, honoured the Earl of Dalhousie by paying a visit to that nobleman at Invermark Lodge. Startingfrom Balmoral shortly after 10 o'clock, the Royal party drove along the south side of the Dee to the Bridge of Aluick, where ponies were in waiting for the hill journey on to the old farmhouse of Corrievrauch, at the head of the fine deer forest of Glentanner. Halting there, lunch was served among the heather, and the party were joined by a guide sent forward by the Earl of Dalhousie. Remounting the ponies, her Majesty and party proceeded for the other five miles by the road over Mount Keen, one of the highest hills in the district. At Glenmark the Queen was met by the Earl of Dalhousie and Lady Christian Maule, by whom the party were conducted to " The Prince's Well," erected, it may be reraeut. bered, to mark a former Royal visit. This simple but beautiful memorial, which was named by ex press desire of her Majesty " The Prince's Well," is situated in a most beautiful and romantic valley. The following lines are inscribed on the well : " Rest, traveller, on this lovely green, And drink, and pray for Scotland's Queen." As also another legend to this effect :—" Queen Victoria, with the Prince Consort, visited this well and drank of its refreshing waters on the 20th of September, 1861, the year of her . Majesty's great sorrow." _The Royal party, having rested at the well and partaken of tea, resumed their journey to Invermark, which was reached in the evening. Her Majesty passed the night at the Lodge, and next forenoon (Wednesday) returned by the route of the previous day to Balmoral. The Queen appeared in excellent spirits during the whole journey. rt 1 .1 - Izathr Queen Emma of Hawaii. Yesterday Queen Emma of Hawaii visited the cathedral city of Ely, and during her stay was en tertained as the guest of the bishop, the Right Rev. Edward Harold Browne, and Very Rev. the Dean, Dr. Harvey Goodwin. The occasion was the cele bration in the Cathedral of a service of thanki for the late harvest. Her Majesty and suite arrived shortly after half-past ten o'clock from the seat of Lord Charles Hervey, whose guest her Majesty had previously been. The party consisted of her Ma jesty, Lady Franklyn, Lord Charles and Lady Har riet Hervey, the Misses Hervey, and Master B. llervey, Miss Cracroft, the Rev. W. and Mrs. thapili (the latter lady in waiting), and the Rev. E. Cutts, commissary to the Bishop of Honolulu. The party partook of breakfast at the Bishop's Palace, and after an inspection of the cathedral proceeded to the deanery to luncheon. At half-past three the solemn thanksgiving ser vice was held in the cathedral, the Very Rev. the Dean preaching. A temporary dais was erected for her Majesty, at a convenient distance from the pulpit, and almost immediately under the lantern. On this dais was a thronal chair, decorated at the back with the letter " E," most ingeniously con-. structed, with an elegant device bordering round it of wheat and barley ears. A large concourse of persons was present. Service concluded, the point of interest was again the Bishop's Palace. It had been arranged that a public meeting on behalf of the Hawaiian Mission shoUld be held in the palace gardens at five o'clock, but the weather proving uncertain (a heavy rain had been falling incessantly during the night), the venue was transferred, by the courtesy of the bishop, to the picture gallery of the palace. A dinner took place at the palace in the evening, the guests comprising the whole or most of those who were present at the breakfast and luncheon, with additions. Her Majesty and suite rested at the palace for the night, and (it was understood) would take their departure for the University of Cambridge in the morning. The Queen will be the guest of the Vice- Chanceller, the Rev. Dr. Cookson, Master of St. Peter's College. - The Duke of Devonshire will receive a large family party at Holkar Hall, on Monday, preparatory to the wedding of Lady Louisa Cavendish and Capt. the Hon. Francis Egerton. The Marquis of Hartington, M.P., has left town for Holkar Hall, near Milnthorp, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire. The Earl and Countess Delawarr will leave Buckhurst Park, Sussex, for Knowle Park, near Sevenoaks, early in the ensuing month. The noble earl and countess will receive a succession of guests during their residence at Knowle. The Earl of Wilton has left Greenock for the coast of Ireland in his yacht. The countess is still on the continent. Lord West has arrived in town from visiting the French coast, and leaves to-morrow for Hatfield House, on a visit to the arquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, on his way to Scotland. Lord Brougham is staying at Brougham Hall, Westmoreland, and is in excellent health. The noble and learned lord attained his 87th year on Tuesday last. Admiral Sir William Biwles arrived last week at Pitfour, Aberdeenshire, from visiting Mr. and Lady Anne H. Drummond-Moray, at Abercairny, Crieff. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, SEPT. 21.
