The National Reform Union held a Conference n Manchester yesterday, for the purpose of consi dering the state of things at present in connection with the subject they have so much at heart. Dele gates came from meetings of the branch associations all over the country. Mr. G. WILSON presided, and alluded to the disappointment which had attended the hopes they formed last year in consequence of the large Liberal majority which the new Parlia ment had returned. However, it seems, that not withstanding these adverse circumstances, the Chair man thinks that the real question of Reform is now in a very good position. It does not seem that his reasons are very good or his arguments very clear on this point, but the cot elusion he draws is, that hitherto at the end of every session the Reform question, if popular, " although at a considerable premium with its best friends, was scarcely at the high premium they would have liked in the general political market; at the present moment, he thought, it stood at a very high premium indeed, and com manded such a price as it never had done before in the market." Really we do not see what inter pretation can be put upon this unless it be that the promoters of this association, and of others of a smaller degree, intend to renew the agitation that was made last time the Conservatives were in power; and if so it will be much to be regretted. We do not think, besides, that it is exactly the manner in which to treat a great public question to talk of its being in the market ; and indeed had this view of the matter neverbeen taken up at all it would have been much better for the cause of Reform, and the real triumph of those who profess to be such zealous advocates in the service. Too much talk has been heard in the case, and too little action has been found when occasion demanded; but the worst of all has been that so many have per sisted in putting their individual prejudices forward to the exclusion of the general good. Mr. WILSON at any rate gave good counsel, when he urged the importance of co-operation, and added that they could not afford an active opposition to each other. " The history of the Reform agitation up to this moment had been a history of failure and disap pointment, but it had also been a history of strong faith and perseverance." He went too far, however, when he said that they must take in those who went for universal suffrage, those who were members of that association, and those, also, who were members of the Manhood Suffrage Associa tion' into their Conference, when they decided on the course which should be taken, and taken con jointly upon the strength of that understanding." It is by going so far that moderate and careful people get bewildered and confused, and are afraid to agree to any propositions put forward by the promoters of these associations, no matter how true may be the principles upon which they found their efforts, and how earnest the statements they start from. It is certainly to be regretted that in the midst of this Conference so much bitterness of party feeling was shown, and it was pretty plainly shown by some speakers that rather than take a Reform measure from the present Government they would go with out one. This is not the way to set to work, if they have the real interest of the country at heart, and so all honest politicians and straightforward men will say. Mr. MASON, who proposed a resolution, said he did not do it with great pleasure, because of the " line towards the close," which proposed " to give to any measure which Lord DERBY'S Government might offer a fair and candid consideration." The reasons he gave for this opinion were that the present Mi nisters could not bring in a measure to suit them selves, and they were a set of " base hypocrites," and if so, " ought hypocrites to be in power ?" He thought they had better first of all propose a vote of want of confidence in Lord DERBY'S Government, and then set to work. Fortunately, the good sense of the meeting triumphed over this factious spirit, and the said resolution was subsequently carried after much debating on its merit. Mr. WAINWRIGHT was very severe in his strictures, and declared that the time for temporising was past. He trusted " they would soon have a settle ment of this question, which would prove a settle ment of the Tory party for all time to come." It is this unbecoming style of talk which has done, and will do, so much harm to the cause of reform, and brings the Liberal party before the country in a very remarkable position. It is indeed making the term " Liberal" lucus non lacendo, n d those dee l ar public professingemeeting aprinciplese that he objects n tdo ugiving his political opponents a fair trial. He may dignify such sentiments by the name of patriotism, but they are more clearly allied to the characteristics of meanness and jealousy. Then, again, it has been over and over again made a subject of reproach to those members of the House of Commons who op posed Mr. GLADSTONE'S measure that they did not dis course in suitable terms about the working classes and others concerned in the great political changes con templated ; and is it setting them an example to call the leaders of a great party " political dirt eaters," and such like, to say that their antecedents are discreditable, and that they are altogether ob noxious in the extreme. As for talking about their coming in on false pretences, we think consideration for Lord RUSSELL should suggest silence on that topic. We wish we could see a more bold and straightforward policy adopted by those who pu themselves at the head of a great political move. men The arrival of the Moravian, from New York on the 9th, brings us intelligence which we had good reason to anticipate. The Republicans have car ried the elections in New York. Mr. FENTON, as a candidate for the Governorship of the State, ob tained a majority of 10,009 votes over his Demo cratic rival, atthough the latter was generally ad mitted to be the more able man of the two. It is to be regretted in the country at large that this im portant office should have fallen to the dominant party. There is iu American politics a want of what European diplomatists used to be so fond of talking about the balance of power. No country can be well or wisely governed without a fair representa tion of conflicting opinions, and when the wise man said that in the multitude of counsellors there was safety, he certainly did not imply that the counsellors should be all of one mind I The very principle which Lee at the root of constitutional The Dutch Chambers were opened yesterday by a Ministerial Commission on behalf of the KING. The Speech from the Throne was delivered by the Minister of Justice, and seems to have been a very fair one on the whole. He said, in allud ing to the dissolution of the second Chamber, that the KING and Ministers hoped that on the last decision of the electors the people, Government, and representatives will vie with each other in ful filling the constitutional task, which had for its object the happiness of the country. It is to be hoped that these aspirations will be realised, and that unity will prevail. The Speech of the Danish Monarch on the opening of the new Rigsdag was a very good one, and it shows to more advantage when we peruse the full text. His MAJESTY alluded to the auspicious marriage of his daughter, the Princess DAGMAR, and particularly adverted to the kind sympathy she had received from the Danish people before she went. He, of course, is delighted at the prospect held out to him of receiving back among his subjects those faithful Danes of Northern Schleswig who have mourned so bitterly over their separation from their friends. Great stress is also laid upon the chief subject to be put before the Rigsdag in this session, namely, the reconstruction of the army. Recent events seem to have tay.ght useful lessons to the Danish KING, and we hope that his efforts will be crowned with success during the ensuing session of his Rigsdag, so that he may be able to hold his own against all intruders, and if unhappily he should again be compelled to go to war he may be far more able to compete with his enemies both by sea and land than he unfortunately was two years ago. The financial condition of the country is good, so that there are no grounds for apprehension on that score. The disaster which has visited the north of Eng land is evidently of a very severe and extended character. The unusual amount of heavy rains which we have had during this summer and autumn has been the theme of general remark. We were not prepared, however, for their bringing so great a catastrophe in their train as the floods in the northern counties have proved. The accounts which reach us from various quarters, from Leeds, from Wakefield, from Wigan, from Doncaster, all tell the same tale of unprecedented floods, of risk to life, if not actual loss, and of terrible and wide spread destruction of property.

What the result of such a state of things may be it is not easy to foretel, but the recent victories of the Radicals give little hope for mode ration on their part; neither do they seem very wil ling to accept compromise or conciliation if the other side were willing to offer it, and neither party in American politics is remarkable for the amenities of statesmanship. The session about to open pro mises to be a stormy one, and it will boast two noticeable additions to its members, re markable, if not respectable, individuals. General BUTLER, of New Orleans memory, and and JOHN MORRISSEY, of pugilistic celebrity, are duly elected members of the Congress of the States. In one of these gentlemen the pugnacious element is somewhat too strongly developed ; in the other cynics have hinted it is not sufficiently marked, and the records of Fort Fisher support their views. But it is something new even for America, who prides herself on doing startling things, to send a prize fighter to Congress. Is this a specimen of the physical force whose judicious application to refractory and retrogressive Parliaments Mr. BRIGHT is inclined to favour? Perhaps if Joffx MORRISSEY turns out a success we shall have Messrs. MACE and KING coming forward as candidates at the next general election. The poet who some time ago sung the praises of " The Battle of Belt," in the pages of Maga, showed the true instinct of prophecy when he deplored HEENAN'S defeat, on the ground of its interfering with his political prospects on his return to his native country : HIGII WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. THIS DAY. - 111 , 9ruing, h. m.—Aftcrnoon, 124. 10m. To-Monnow.-Morning, 121 i. 30m.—Afternoon, 121 i. 58m. un, "For though exalted office No doubt awaits him there, Yet, beltless, ho can scarcely gain, What, conqueror, he might well attain— The Presidential chair !" The election of General BUTLER does not augur well for the South. They will have an addition to the ranks of their unscrupulous enemies, and though even BUTLER will hardly recommend the hanging of JEFFERSON DAVIS and General LEE in Congress, yet he is certain to be found on the despotic and vindictive side of every question at issue between North and South. It is said that the - Radicals, so soon as they find their ascendancy in Congress secure, intend deposing all those State Governors appointed by the PRESIDENT, who have refused to recommend the acceptance of the Constitutional Amendment to their Legislatures. This sys tem of government can hardly be carried on for long. It must inevitably produce the conse quences which in every age and in every country where force has been employed to subdue an intel ligent and united people have resulted. When op pression grows intolerable the populace combine to resist it, and if unsuccessful the fires of discontent and disaffection to the Government go smouldering on, taxing all the powers of the dominant party to keep them in subjection, and thus becoming a source of weakness to the strongest State—a cause of terror to the boldest ruler. The political power and financial gain which Austria gained fro,n her tenure of Venetia and Lombardy, which Russia has on her hold of Poland, may be very much questioned. Such gain the Northern States of America will have from their oppression of the South and no more. An immense standing army sapping the finances of the State, an openly disaffected community always ready to unite and second foreign intervention, an ally within the doors to whom every assailer without knows be may with confidence appeal— such will be the result of the dominion to which the Radicals are looking forward with exultation. What the consequences will be commercially and productively, what will be the effect on the trade, and enterprise, and cultivation of the fertile Southern States, we need not pause to speculate. America, dazzled by a career of unexampled suc cess and rapid progress, is forgetting those very laws and principles which made her what she is. The abuse of her national virtues have become the opposite vices, and freedom, self-con fidence, and courageous disregard of consequences will end, if her people do not take heed, in a repe tition of the Old World despotisms. left together apparently much in anger. A spec tator who had been annoyed interfered, which seemed to increase their dispute, and the indivi dual was so exasperated on being told not to in terfere that he drew a revolver from his pocket and fired at the elder brother. Fortunately the ball did not hit him, but it lodged in one of the boxes. When questioned by the police, he said his name was Bruno de la Garza, a native of Monterey, Mexico, aged 33. From the incoherence of his language he is evidently insane. All the barrels of the revolver were loaded, so he evidently meant much mischief. Three very serious and destructive fires have taken place—one at a manufactory for sawing by machinery, at St. Denis, near Paris, and another at an extensive timber yard at Caen. The property destroyed at St. Denis is estimated at 100,000 f. The danger done at Caen is to the amount of 300,000 f. Happily there was no serious personal injury. The third fire was at a manufactory at Cas tres, near Toulouse, where immense damage was done. By this latter casualty more than 200 work men are t brown out of employ. The London papers lately gave a curious story respecting a man named Vital Douat, who followed his own coffin. He has been tried before the Court of Assize at Antwerp upon the charge of forgery and attempting to set fire to a vessel. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to death. A man named Martin Rean is to be tried on the 3d of December before the Court of Assize for the Deux Sevres, at Niort, charged with murdering his first and second wife, and his son by the second wife. There is also an accusation against him of poi soning, with corrosive sublimate, Pierre Rean, bro ther of his first wife, on the 2d of February, 1853 ; but by the law of France it appears that there is prescription in this latter case, and he cannot be tried for the crime in conse quence of the lapse of time. The motive was to obtain possession of property. It is a remark able circumstance that 25 years ago another inhabi tant of the same commune of Presigny was con victed before the same tribunal for having from similar motives of cupidity poisoned with arsenic his two wives, his mother, and brother. The greater portion of these crimes was also barred by prescrip tion, and the jury had only to decide upon the charge of the poisoning of the second wife. They found him guilty, but with " extenuating circumstances,' and the prisoner, a man named Auger, was con demned to hard labour for life. valley of the Aire being inundated through nearly all its length, and for a great part of its width. There was an immense destruction of property and several fatalities, one of which, unfortunately, the fall of a quay wall at Leeds-bridge, occasioned the deaths of fifteen or twenty persons. In the Wake field district the height reached by the flood was two feet half an inch more than any on record, and here, too, there were many deaths, and £50,000 is ranked a moderate computation of the loss sus tained. In Preston there was great damage, and at Doncaster the overflowing of the Don covered thousands of acres. All through the counties of Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Derby shire, the havoc went on, and though the latest in telligence informs us that the floods have subsided, yet we do not as yet know half the damage. The isolated deaths by drowning will, we fear, prove to be numerous, notwithstanding some gallant rescues, while the loss of the flocks and crops is very serious. It is a misfortune in a great measure beyond human control, but before we decide that it is hopeless to deal with it it would be well to have a full official inquiry into the whole subject, that we may learn the proximate cause of the danger, the symptoms of its approach, and also whether there may not be some precautions adopted which may diminish the frequency and fatality of these inunda tions in the north. Another victim, making the fourth, of the bruta attack by the soldiers at the wine-shop at Levallois Perret, of which I sent an account, has expired. M. Bouramier, the bricklayer, has just died at the Beaujon Hospital. M. Vitte, the proprietor of the shop, is in a hopeless state at the hospital. General Dix, the new Minister from the United States to the Court of France, has arrived in Paris. A swindler, who traded upon an extensive scale, and under the name so renowned in France of Count de Guise, has been condemned by default by the Paris tribunal on the triple charge of fraudulent bankruptcy, illegally wearing a decoration, and various acts of swindling. The sentence was five years' imprisonment, a fine of 50f., and to pay the expenses of the prosecution. The real name of the accused is Padorani. He is an Italian, and it is supposed that at present London is favoured with his residence. In Paris he called himself Count Arthur de Guise. He obtained goods from many Paris tradesmen to a large amount. One was so infatuated with his promises as to give him his acceptances to bills of exchange to the amount of about £3,000 sterling, but he told the Court he was fortunate enough to escape with a loss of only 8,000 fr., as helvas able to get back the bills. A jeweller gave the supposed Count 4,000 fr. under the idea that he could obtain for him the custom of the Imperial Court. A lady swindler has victimised a poor priest to the tune of some three or four thousand francs, all he possessed. Dressed as a sister of charity she accosted the victim in the streets and told him she was charged by a lady of immense property to select objects for charity, hinting also that he ought to participate largely in the donations himself. She said she should like to see his apartment that she might report to the lady the simple style in which she knew he lived. The priest allowed the swindler to accompany him home, and pointing to his trunk said it contained all he possessed in the world. The lady asked to look at the gold, and said she wished to replace the bag containing it herself. A cab was then hired to convey herself and the priest to the Princess, who would give her a large sum of money for him to distribute in charitable purposes. On the way she said she wished to go and pray at the Chamber of St. Roch for a few minutes. She left the chamber by the back door, and when the priest returned home he found that she had contrived to extract the bag of money which he had showed to her. This sister of charity has not been traced. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Last night Miss Helen Faucit made her first ap pearance this season in the character of Rosalind, and on this occasion a brilliant audience assembled to bid her hearty welcome. The whole performance was distinguished by all that point and grace which is the peculiar beauty of this lady's acting, .and from first to last the audience highly appreciated and rapturously applauded the development of the character by so great and distinguished an actress as Miss Helen Faucit. Mr. Walter Montgomery was the Orlando, and he also acted with more than his usual excellence, added to which his voice has greatly improved—all that huskiness, which formerly was such a drawback to this gentleman's performance, having disappeared. Mr. Swinbourne, as the melancholy Jacques, delivered the beautiful lines with the taste and judgment of a ripe Shaksperian scholar. Mr. H. Webb was not as good a Touchstone as we antici pated ; he seemed to pay more attention to making wry faces and elevating his eyebrows than to the distinct delivery of the witticisms with which the part abounds. Miss Golier made a pretty Celia, and Miss Hudspeth an effective Audrey. At the fall of the curtain the applau3e was universal and enthusiastic, and on Mis 3 Faucit making her appear ance to bow her acknowledgments a splendid floral wreath was thrown to her, an honour she had nobly won. Miss Faucit's engagement is but for a limited period. On Friday she appears in her original part of Pauline in Lord Lytton's exquisite play the " Lady of Lyons."

(FR03.1 OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The 3loniteur has nothing respecting Germany to-day, and its bulletin is chiefly composed of Eng Lish and American news. The German papers state that 15,043 signatures have been obtained in favour of the restoration of Northern Schleswig to Denmark. The German party assert that most of those signatures have been obtained by fraud and intrigue. On the other hand the adherents of Denmark assert that the Prussian authorities used unwarrantable exertion and influ ence to oppose the separation of the province of Prussia. The Ex-King of Portugal, Dom Miguel (Maria Evariste), whose death at Carlsruhe I have men tioned, went through many changes and vicissitudes. He was born at Lisbon in 1802, and had just attained his sixty-fourth year. He was the son of John the Sixth and his wife Charlotte Joachin, infanta of Spain, exiled with his family to Brazil at 14 years of age, and confided to the mercenary care of negroes. He could neither read nor write when he returned to Lisbon in 1822. He revolted three times against his father, at the instigation of his mother, with whom he was banished by a decree of the 12th of May, 1824. He afterwards took refuge at Paris, Rome, and Vienna, from whence, at the death of John the Sixth, he re turned to Lisbon, as regent of the kingdom of Portugal, in the absence of his niece, Dona Maria da Gloria, daughter of Don Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, who ceded to him his rights in Eu rope. Ultimately he proclaimed himself King of Portugal, in opposition to Don Pedro, who was forced to abdicate the Crown of Brazil, but also was desirous of retaining that of Portugal for his daughter. The struggle for it lasted several years, and was finally concluded on the 29th of May, 1834, by the capitulation of Evora. Sentenced to perpetual banishment, Don Miguel went first to Genoa, afterwards to Rome, and then to Germany. By his marriage with the Princess of Lowenstein-Westheim-Rosemberg he leaves three daughters and a son, who bears his name. A remarkable incident l&s taken place at Rodez. A paper devoted to religion published in that town, the Sentaine Catholique, has been prosecuted for referring to politics. The Tribunal, however, dis missed the complaint, a result which excited strong enthusiasm. The audience was composed of the whole of the clergy at Rodez, with the bishop at their head. The Procureur Imperial offered the bishop a seat upon the bench, which he declined, preferring a place by the side of the defendant, the Abbe Fabre, the editor of the paper. When offered the seat by the Procureur-General, th e lif s h op said, " The accused."place of honour to-day is by th e s id e o f the A letter from Berlin state s th at the return of M. de Bismarck - to that capital i s expected with much anxiety.

To-day hai been one of regular winter. There has been a little sunshine however. A bitterly cold wind prevailed, and about 11 o'clock there was a InAvy hailstorm. 111. Boillot, the scientific writer of the Moniteur, gives some very interesting particulars of the shoot ing stars, or, as he terms it, the meteoric rain, com mencing with the observation that there is another accomplished fact for science, the proof of the predic tions of astronomers that in a cycle of thi r t y - t h ree years there would be a repetiti on of this phenomenon. The night between the 13th and 14th was cloudy and few observations could be made, but on the fol lowing night, about a quarter -past eleven, numerous stars, with beautiful luminous trails, were seen. The general direction of these meteors was from east to west, and from north-east to south-west. Eight shooting stars were seen in less than half a minute between the interstices left by the clouds. These natural fireworks could not be observed for a long time as the clouds soon covered the por tion of the sky where they appeared. Shortly before one o'clock on the morning of the 14th the sky became clear, and these shoot ing meteors were perceptible in large numbers, having the appearance of long luminous white trails shooting in the same direction, opposite to that of the movement of the earth, which, as is known, is from west to east. In spite of the short duration of fine weather, it was easy to see from what direction this mass of celestial fires came. At this period of the year the sun is on the constellation of the Scorpion, and at 11 that of the Lion rises. At 1 o'clock the latter constellation is entirely over the horizon of Paris to the east. It was from thence that these shooting stars seemed to come. On the night of the 14th more of these luminous stars were seen, but few were perceived on the night of the 15th, it being too cloudy. These shooting stars become fire on penetrating our atmosphere from their enormous speed. When the earth in its move ment round the sun approaches sufficiently near to those little satellites from its attraction to be expe rienced in an atmosphere, they become incandescent under the influence of the heat caused by their rubbing against the air. If not entirely consumed in the air, a portion falls and constitutes a stone called an aerolite. An aerolite found in Mexico, weighing 780 kilogrammes, will be sent to the Great Exhibition. A fatal disease has manifested itself among the trees in some of the gardens of Paris, which resists every precaution. It has been neceessary to cut down some of the most beautiful trees in the gar dens of the Luxembourg and Tuileries. The malady is supposed to arise from the eggs which insects de posit in the bark of the trees. The larva are found on forests of trees, and the worms penetrate both to the root and the heart of the trees. Another cause of the disease is rottenness, produced by deposits of water from the heavy rains. During the late heavy rains the water was a foot in depth in the centre of the Tuileries gardens. All kinds of experiments are made with the trees, but they generally have proved inefficacious. M. 'l l ., a shipowner, was nearly assassinated by a gentleman broker, at the Theatre Italien, on Fri day evening. M.

Morton and Co., relative to the manner of payment of the principal of the 5-20 Bonds. The Finance Secretary says : " I regard, as did also my predecessor, all United States Bonds as payable in coin. The Bonds that have matured since the suspension of specie pay ments have been so paid, and I have no doubt that the same will be true with all others, this being, as I understand it to be, the established policy of the Government. The 5-20 Bonds of 1862 will either be called in at the expiration of five years from their date, and be paid in coin, or be permitted to run until the Government is prepared to pay them in coin."

Great Destruction of Property by Fire' This morning about 5 o'clock as a police-constable of the P division was proceeding along his beat iu Pontr°Y street, New Cross, he discovered smoke pouring out of the basement of th e Vi ctor i a Tavern, belonging to 3fr' "Li Hutchinson. He at once gave the necessary alarm, having succeeded iu arousing the inmates they haPP III reached the street in safety. The engine from the ham station was the first to arrive, and was followed o•Y three land-steamers by Shand, Mason and Co. As soon ti s water could be obtained the engines were set to work un der the direction of Mr. Hanilyn, superintendent of the district, but by that time the flames had reached the spirit store! on the ground, and from that point the fire rushed throug h the upper rooms and penetrated the roof, t h rea tening t ° destroy a l ong range of stabling and the premises of Afr: St. John, a baker.

The Suspected Murder near Nottinghalill In The Sun of yesterday there appeared a short repo: 4 °f a diabolical m ur d er comm i tted at Carlton, a village n ear Nottingham. As we then stated, one man had been aPPr °- headed on suspicion, and the police are now actively ° n ' gaged in endeavouring to trace the crime to itsrpgrater.sl as from the app earance of tke body of the deceased a n 119 1: bor of persons must have been concerned in it.. Mr. lle °ll 4 Raynor, the victim, was a rent and debt collector, and W4 ' well known in Notti ng h am. H e was about 32 yeare .ge a , and during some time past had a house and garden % Carlton, near th e Midl and Ra i lway. Ho left his home a Nottingham on S a t ur d ay a f ternoon for the purpose °f going for vegetables to his garden at Carlton, and %% I ' S seen in the village in the early part of the evening. said that a serious quarrel arose between Raynor a ° Watson (the man now in custody) respecting the tenan c y of the cottage whi c h d ecease d occupied, and high Nvir'.,6 passed between them. Sh ort l y b e f ore 8 o ' clock R a ynor dead body was found lying on the railway near to \Va t ,. sou's house, his he a d b ear i ng mar k s of repeated b low s, an u , presenting a frightful spectacle.

A boy naille, Sawyer, employed o n th e ra il way, was the f i rst to find tu body, which on being taken up was warm, but life W 3 quite extinct. The blow s on hi s h ea d appeared to h a ve be en inflicted by a blunt instrument—an iron bar or a b edg' '; stake. The county police were communicated wit h ~3 1 . once, and Mr. Superint en d en t P a l et h orp, w i th a nuluhA. of other officers, were on the spot as soon as possible. strict watch was kept upon Watson's house and garden 7 0 the police during the n i g ht , an d an examination was 3,av of the route through whi c h i t was thought the d ea d body . had been carried or d ragge d to the railway.

On being asked how many pairs of . b , ° _ cs he had he said he had three pairs, but a fourth pair th v e ' s found on his premises being searched.' stated that she had brought a fourth pair from N otting' ham unknown to her husband, and that would account _7 3 •` , the error. On her dress a spot of blood was di sc r i.er but that was endeavoured to bo explained away b s y;_ ... stating that her husband had a pig killed a few day Mrs. Watsoott_n viously, and she had been making black puddings. --21 ceased's pockets were rifled of his watch and moue:. u_ia.r inquest will be held upon the body to-day.
