LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 6, 1866. The arrival of the Bombay Mail, with intelligence to the 13th November, brings u political news. The accounts no very import an t of the f am i ne are, however, anything but reassuring, and the nu m b er of deaths have reached a frightful ag gregate. In Cuttack. and Manublicom the distress continues unabated, and in Cuttack 30,000 persons are f e d daily ; is Manubhown about half that number. Notwithstanding that assi3tance in Cuttack, paupers aro dying at the rate of 2,000 a week. This is a frightful picture, and . the sufferings of the people Must be terrible. No doubt the best efforts of Government will not prevent the effects of want and overcrowding of the cities and wretchedness making themselves felt among the miserable crowds who throng the relief houses, and pestilence too often follows on the track of famine, but the num ber of deaths are certainly startling. The scarcity has made itself felt in other parts of India as well, and in Hyderabad grain has become so precious that the Nizam has forbidden its exportation from his territory. The new crops were, according to the last intelligence we received, likely to turn out well, and we hear nothing to the con trary by this mail, so that we may hope the severity of the calamity will ere long be abated ; but these periodical famines in India are so great an affliction, so widespread in the deso_ lation and misery they create, and so fatal to the progress and content of the people, that it will be well to organise a properly constituted commission to inquire fully and impartially into their origin, symptoms, periods of recurrenc, places of visitation, and above all the best means of prevention or miti gation. No less can be expected of a Government which professes a paternal character, and certainly no less would be attempted by a repre sentative administration. It is generally be lieved that irrigation might do much in the matter, and although some authorities have denied this, the subject has never been fully and fairly entered into. The supineness which has weighed down successive Indian Administrations has made Governors and Lieutenant-Governors, councillors, and officials of every degree, glad to believe that the misfortune was one beyond human control. It is, however, very doubtful whether such be actually the case. If, indeed, it is impos sible to prevent the recurrence of these periods of scarcity in certain districts, then some system of relief must be organised. It will be a disgraceful thing if we quietly fold our hands, and allow thousands of our people to perish every few years from actual want of food. Th© news from Cabul is stormy. Sirdar Ma hommed RAFFEEK KHAN has been strangled by orders of the rulers, who are said also to have sent secretly an envoy to the Russians, requesting assist ance for " a holy war," but the Ameer, SIIERE ALI KnAN,still declares himself a follower of the British Government. The sepoys of SHERE ALL'S army are, however, said to be deserting him in consequence of arrears in their pay, and there are dissensions in his family, which are weakening his cause, so that the affairs of oar ally do not look very hopeful. Two pieces of domestic information gives us an encouraging view of Indian progress. The Central India Industrial Exhibition is to be opened at Jab bulpore on the 26th December, which we may hope will give a stimulus to invention and ingenuity, as well as an encouragement to trade and commerce. Judging from the splendour of the Indian De partment of our own Great Exhibition the spec tacle will be a gorgeous one. The other item of news, indicating social progress, is the comple tion of railway communication between Bombay and Nagpore on the one hand, and between Cal cutta and Delhi on the other. The bridge over the Jumna has united the two great cities north and south, the City of Palaces with the abode of the Great Mogul. What would this not have been worth in 1857 ? In Prussia all seem intent on the cherished scheme of consolidating the constitution of North Germany, which, according to all accounts, is mak ing great progress. It is said by the Provincial Correspondenz that the plan drawn up by the Prus sian Government is above all calculated to satisfy the general desire of North Germany for a united and powerful State, and a common national deve lopment. This is all very fine in theory ; but when we come to practice we find it far from satisfactory, for the Prussians are insinuating themselves into the management of affairs, and when they have once gained an entrance they make one encroach ment after another. The way in which matters are being carried on in Hanover is quite enough, we should think, to convince the most sceptical that those who are so unfortunate as to get under Prus sian domination must bid farewell to all indepen dence, direct or indirect. Le Poi le vent is the magic talisman, and whoever ventures to act con trary to the rule laid down finds himself in a very awkward position. A Royal order has been issued in Hanover, which is of a most stringent nature, and shows pretty plainly the manner in which affairs are to be conducted under the new regime. In] point of fact we should suspect that long be fore this all the Hanoverians, high and low, must have arrived at the conclusion that their day of liberty was over, at any rate for the present ; and by this time, unless they are very credulous people at a distance, must agree in the notion. As for talking of German unity and the advantages that will accrue from this or that arrangement, it is quite idle, and seems rather a mockery when we come to think of things. Here are orders being issued and well laid down in Hanover, for instance, which, if carried out, will very speedily convert the kingdom from its former inde pendent condition into a state of comparative serf dom, and totally ch ange it s con diti on an d under mine its prosperity. Every p ossible facility is given in this order to en courage the P russ i an f unct i onar i es to all kinds of tyrannical a c t s and are the pen a l t i es to vexatious restrictions, and great be presume to offend them enforeed against those who naries o a r r e o t b o s b t r e u s c u t p t e h n e d m e d i n i m t h m e e i r course. All f unct i o ancatheGt Governor-General of o oci f fi aheley Hanover iif t h i Governme nt; s ey b e failsid to carry ou es empowered to remove to the cti n f or tress of Minden, under a rrest, all officers orar w sol diers of the late Hanoverian army who take p ag it a tions against the Prussian authorities, and also o to try before a military tribunal all persons who m ay i‘ insult military men wearing the Prussian uniform." This is really taking a l ea f out of General BUTLER'S book, and if this is to be the result of Prussian progress we wish Count BISMARCK joy of it. At any r a t e , we may gather from t hi s comprehensive o r d er what the llanoverians have to expect ; and surely there is no need to dwelluponwe are,themo ral of it, which those who run can read • how ever, induced to speculate upon it on accou g n u t a o r f te t r h s e , oft-repeated assertions made in var ious that, notwithstanding the individual injustice and the particular hardships inflicted, there will ensue a general benefit to all concerned in those transi tion stages of German politics. 'We wish we could see any chance, however slight, and any pro spect, however remote, of such coming to pass ; but we are constrained to believe that the contrary will be the result of all this transformation, of which Count BISMARCK is the active agent. The irritation which will naturally be felt among those who are affected by these imperative com mands and interfered with in this arbitrary fashion will naturally find vent in one way or another, and before long we shall in all probability hear of some vexatious outbreaks against the powers that be in those States that have been annexed to Prussia. It is not in the nature of things that men should readily or easily submit to such sweeping changes, and still more to such arrogance of tone and manner, as characterise the Prussians in all their arrangements, whether of peace or war. Of course, nothing could have jus tified the course pursued by Prussia iu taking pos session of all those places, but still the work might la we been done far more quietly, and with much lc ;s assumption than it has been. Whether we look Saxony, with its resources cut off and its mili -tary power suppressed, and at Hanover crushed under this overwhelming device, (or turn to any ~ o ther of the new Prussian dominions, we see the same thing; the one idea unmistakeably impressed , upon all edicts and enuuciations, that of the supre t lnacy of Prussia ; and this ruling passion of the ,Berlin Government animates all their words and ;actions to the total exclusion of a more elevated ! -tone, or a more generous course. In the pre ;sent state of things it is especially interesting to _notice what are the opinions entertained in France Its to German policy, and M. JULES FAVRE is a , good authority to take. He is against an alliance - between Prussia and France, and gives some very • ,excellent reasons for his disapproval thereof. He looks back to the time when he was in favour o: raising diplomatic interference for Denmark, and exclaims, " `"hover thinks of that sad triumph of force over weakness and right. The complaints of betrayed States are stifled under the ruins of the Germanic Confederation, and of Monarchies overthrown or partitioned !" Then talking of the position of France in relation to these stupendous charges, he says—" We are disdained until the time comes for us to be openly defied." We sus suspect that these sentiments will find an echo in many French minds just now ; and indeed the longer they dwell upon the condition of Germany, and the more they study the conduct of Prussia, the greater will be the indignation that will gather in France—not the anger that is speedily subdued, but the deep-seated conviction of wrong and in jury which makes men most dangerous as enemies, and renders nations formidable when the day of reckoning arrives, and the long list of offences are recalled to the minds of the avengers. 'The movement in, favour of middle-class educa tion is one of the most noticeable signs of the pre sent day. It is a favourable indication of the in telligence and praiseworthy ambition of our com mercial ranks, who are anxious that their children should be fully equal to the requirements of the age in which they live. These high-pressure days leave little time for the full-grown man to extend his theoretical knowledge ; he must put up, as best he can, with the deficiencies of his early education, since not only the opportunity and the time are wanting, but, in most cases, the un trained mind loses its inclination and its aptitude for fresh branches of study. Yet it is not desirable that our shopkeepers, our clerks, and those in similar positions, should be altogether shut out from the paths of literature and science. They are expected to take an interest in the politics of the day, and to influence in some degree at least the course of national policy. How can they do this wisely and well if they know nothing of the history of the past, if they are ignorant of the mistakes and the achievements of other rulers and peoples ? An acquaintance with foreign tongues is often of the greatest practical service to men in their several occupations, while a knowledge of the higher branches of arithmetic is almost indispensable to their success in life. As for the pleasure and the profit to be derived from a familiarity with the great authors of our own and other nations, there are few we should hope who would raise a dissen tient voice. We should like to see every English man of the middle ranks receive an education of this kind. lie would be better fitted to play his part on the stage of life, better fitted for practical success, and more qualified to keep his right position in ad vance of those labouring classes who are pressing so closely on their steps. The success of the local examination system has been very great. It has given a stimulus to our private schools, which is likely to exercise a very beneficial effect on the character of the instruction given, and it has certainly afforded great encourage ment to the youths themselves, who thus obtain a recognition of their abilities and their acquirements. The distribution of certificates and prizes to the successful candidates at the examination held in Loudon last June took place yesterday at Willis's Rooms. Lord TAUNTON, who pre sided, made a short but sensible speech, advising the young men before him not to look on their success as the end of their efforts, but rather as the beginning of future exertions. The number of the successful candidates gave gratify ing evidence of the increasing estimation in which these examinations are held; and though much re mains to be done, yet we may believe that we have entered upon a wise and beneficial course. were placed in a strong box and taken to Paris, and from thence to the Forest of Bondy. The number of individuals concerned in the robbery was nine, and Mme. Bohn's father was one of them. The robbery having been discovered most of the thieves were arrested. Mme. Bohn's father, who was a Bel gian, was condemned by default, but he managed to reach the frontier and escaped. Some years afterwards he returned to Paris, and, taking his daughter with him to the Forest of Bondy, he pointed out a spot at the foot of an oak, where, he said, the box containing the treasure was buried. This box, he said, contained diamonds, jewels, and other valuables to the enormous amount of 20 mil lions of francs. Four men have been employed for several days in digging at this spot in search of the treasure, but up to the present time they have not discovered any indication of it. M. Le Saint, a French officer of great attainments and energy, is about to penetrate into countries hitherto unknown in equatorial Africa, either by ascending the Nile beyond Khartoum and advancing resolutely towards the south-east, and traversing the completely unknown region of the gulf of Benin, or by starting from the French establishment of the Gabon, mounting to the north-west towards the upper basin of the Nile. The project is a bold one and full of dangers, but the most important disco veries are likely to resnit from it. ,The adventurous traveller thinks of making the journey quite alone. There have never been so many destructive fires at Paris as have occurred within the last month. On Monday night the little theatre in the Faubourg St. Martin, called the Theatre des Nouveautes, was nearly destroyed. It was only opened a year ago. The fire broke out at about 7 o'clock, just before the performances were about to commence, but the dcors, happily, had not been opened. The firemen arrived at the spot in a very short time, but in spite of their exertions the whole of the in terior of the theatre was destroyed. The scenery and decorations were all burnt. Nothing has been saved but the dresses of the actors. One of the fire men was slightly burnt, but that is the extent of the personal injury. The fire was extinguished about nine o'clock. The play announced was " L'lle des Sirenes," which had been got up with great splendour. A match manufactory at Le Villette has been nearly destroyed by fire. A few days ago (says the Journal du Havre) there was a very unj us tifi a bl e marr i age di sa pp o i n t men t. Anindividual h a d o b ta i ne d th e perm i ss i on o f h er family to ma rr y a young servant girl. All was ready for the wedding, the friends were invited and the dinner ordered. Nothing was wanting but the intended husband. The poor girl, in her bridal dress, waited in great anxiety and suspense. At length came a letter from the bridegroom, with these words, "My good young lady, do not be surprised at not seeing me again. lam going into exile." This morning early the weather was mild and genial, like spring. About one o'clock in the after noon the sun broke forth with great splendour, and it was really warm. Afterwards, however, there was rain. There are often much colder days in Englane at midsummer. Although The Sun says that the weather was unfavourable for the Reform demonstration on Monday in London, in Paris it was a beautiful day. The report in circulation at the Bourse is that the Legislative Session will commence on the 14th of January. Some alarm exists in Paris in consequence of the sudden and mysterious disappearance of several persons within a week or so. A few days ago a clerk employed at the chief telegraph office disap peared, and now the wife of an honest workman is in great grief at the absence of her husband, of whom nothing is known since he left his work, although the police have made strict inquiries about him. There have been several violent nocturnal attacks. PRUSSIA. The trial of Laniirande at Poitiers proceeds. The Court overruled the objections taken by his counsel as to the illegality of his capture. 'The Court also, at the request of the First Advocate-General, gave a decision to the effect that the various charges should be proceeded with separately. M. Sardon's piece, "La Maison Neuve," about which a little storm raged some time ago, was pro duced at the Vaudeville on Monday. It will be re collected that the author withdrew his production in a rage, because some anticipatory criticisms and extracts were published from it. 1 have not seen it, but judging from several critiques, it would seem that it is hardly worth the fuss made about it. One writer says, "The piece excited by turns the ap plause and the murmurs of a public evidently friendly to the author." They who " murmured " must have an odd idea of the best way of " backing your friends." MARKE T s.7•This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

VIENNA, Dec. 6. The semi-official Vienna Journal of to-day pub lishes an article upon what it designates as certain " wilfully disseminated rumours" respecting alleged tension in the political relations between Austria and Russia. The article concludes as follows : " We learn upon most reliable authority that the relations between Russia and Austria are most satisfactory, and that nothing whatever has taken place calculated to disturb them in any way. No concentration of troops has been made by Austria and Galicia, nor is such a measure contemplated. Russia, on the other hand, has not effected any mi litary movement out of the ordinary course, or of a nature to give rise to any apprehension." BERLIN, Dec. Gth. The Crown Prince of Denmark has arrived here. His Royal Highness was received at the railway terminus by the Military Commander of the town, the President of the Police, and the officers ap pointed to attend upon the Prince during his stay at Berlin. The Prince will reside in that portion of the Royal Castle formerly inhabited by Prince THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. PARIS, Dec. 5. The bulletin of this morning's Monitcur contains the following : " The hopes to which the favourable turn of events in Crete had given rise have not been com pletely realised. The native insurrection being ter minated, a period of appeasement and pacification was already opening for this unfortunate country, when adventurers of all nations, partly recruited in the kingdom of Greece, partly from among the former bands of Garibaldi first transported to Syra, and subsequently from that island into Candia by small rapid Greek merchant steamers that have been made the purveyors of the insurrection, have come to import fresh elements of agitation. These foreign bands have established themselves in the mountainous and uncultivated parts of the country, where they have dispersed so as to be able to carry on for some time a partisan warfare, ren dered possible by the supplies they receive from Syra, by evading the vigilance of the Ottoman cruisers. As to the population of the island, as we said some days ago, it has almost everywhere made its submission and profited by the amnesty skilfully promulgated by Mustapha Pacha. The peasants have returned to their homes, and are peacefully engaged in cultivating their crops. Only a few Chiefs specially compromised still seek to hold the country. " Be this as it may, everything leads to the belief that this last effort of the rebellion, in which the right thinking part of the Candian population takes no part, will not succeed in again inflicting a new era of misfortune and ruin upon the island of Crete at the very moment when peace and calm begin to revive, and that the foreign bands, isolated and devoid of support in the country, will promptly abandon a struggle the issue of which cannot be doubtful. It may be hoped that the Ottoman authorities, acting wisely, will persevere in the system of moderation to which they have hitherto had the sagacity to remain faithful." CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. A letter from a reliable source bas been received in Paris from Mexico, dated Nov. 1, which gives an accurate description of the circumstances connected with the supposed abdication of the Emperor Maximilian. His Majesty really intended to em bark for Europe on board the Austrian corvette Dandolo, and this was the origin of the telegram sent to Miramon to prepare for the reception of the Emperor. Marshal Bazaine, however, having be come acquainted with his Majesty's intention, took steps to prevent him from embarking. At the time when the English packet La Seine sailed from Vera Cruz various rumours prevailed as to the exact steps taken by Marshal Bazaine. Some said the depar ture was prevented by compulsion, others believed that the idea was abandoned merely in consequence of friendly advice. The Italie says that Cardinal Riario will very shortly return to Naples. In the meantime he has sent a remarkable letter to his Grand Vicar, full of benevolent, kind, and Christian sentiments. The Cardinal commences by stating that ho hopes all his diocesans will see in his return an indication that he comes in the spirit of Jesus, the author of true peace. "My mission, which is the same as that of our Lord Jesus Christ, forces me to be full of wnhdo, other charity. My heart i s d es ti ne d b y t h e w ill o f G od to spread senti men t s o f charity and if I should fi art returning thought g e t sheep oa n o gt n ooofd, mo forget we l t v u laroydy, myself fg s mi h n o e s u ne l ta d rtch h he a o v gf e lboi n rtny o of God and dry up tears. I love even the wicked. I wish to heal their wounds and cure them. I pray for them. Ido not wish to judge them superficially, but with truth, with love, and with patience. Should any personal offence have been given to any one of our [clergy, I would recall the advice of St. Gregoire de Nazianze, who, after having been driven from his;diocese, said, 'Brothers, do not let us show ourselves bitter and heard-hearted towards those who have offended us. Let us not commit the same offence as we have received from othe rs .'

TEWKESBURY AND MAT,VEIZN. An extraordinary general meeting of this com pany was appointed to be held yesterday, at the Westminster Palace Hotel, Victoria-street, to con sider the expediency of confirming an agreement to lease or hand over the undertaking to the Midland Railway Company, and to apply to Parliament for power to carry the same into effect ; but, in conse quence of the non-attendance of a sufficient number of shareholders to constitute a quorum, no busi ness on that account could be transacted. A meeting of debenture holders and Lloyd's bond holders of the company was then held ; Mr. Becston in the chair. He said the business of the company was managed by a joint Board, consisting of three Midland directors and four of the directors of the Tewkesbury and Malvern Company. The line was in the hands of the Midland Company, and worked by them, but the receipts had been very small in deed. The result of the working was most unsatis factory, and, therefore, an effort was obliged to be made to see what could be done for the debenture and bondholders. A long negotiation held with the Board of the Midland Company, through Mr: Leeman, as the representative of the debenture holders, had been ably carried on, and a certain arrangement had been so far concluded. Mr. Leeman undertook the negotiations with the Midland Company on the part of a large number of debenture-holders, and, as a certain re sult had been arrived at, he thought the best thing they could do would be to agree together as to the division among them of the rental agreed upon. He begged of them to avoid litigation by all means, for if they went info Chancery the probability was they would get nothing at all. Mr. LEEMAN, M.P., explained that he had been induced to undertake the negotiations on the part of certain debenture-holders purely out of friendship, they being resident in York. The debentures were held by clergymen, widows, retired professional men, and others. He found that the original Act was passed in 1860, by which the company was authorised to raise £145,000, and in 1862 another Act was obtained authorising the company to raise an additional sum of £120,000, making the share capital £265,000. Shares were issued representing £231,610. There were debentures issued to the amount of £BB,OOO, • bearing interest at 5 per cent. per annum, and during the construction of the line £107,000 in Lloyd's bonds were issued to raise money for completing the line. By a clause in the company's Act, an agreement entered into between the promoters and the Midland Company, before the Act was obtained, was confirmed for working the line when constructed. The terms were that the Midland Company were to work the traffic, provide the rolling stock, and hand over half the gross receipts to the Tewkesbury Com pany. In May, 1864, the line was opened for traffic, and up to that date the debenture holders were paid interest at 5 per cent. per annum. Up to Decem ber, 1864, some interest was paid on Lloyd's bonds; from that time there had been nothing paid either to debenture holders or bondholders. The result of the working showed that up to Sept. 30 last, two years and four months, the receipts forpassengers amounted to £7,229 ; for parcels, horses, and mails to £249 ; coal to £l9 ; goods to £743 ; minerals to £l3l —making a total of £8,371 ; deducting half for working expenses left the net sum of £4,185 as the result of two years and four months' working, being less than £2,000 a year. Against this there were claims for use of the station at Malvern. The length of the line was only 12 miles, and that was not a great length to develope. The interest on the debentures was £4,400 a year, and on Lloyd's bonds, at 5 per cent., £5,350, making together a claim for interest of £9,750. On going over the line he found that the goods traffic had not been developed, and that claims existed for land which had never been paid for. The Midland Company complained that the line had been handed over to theta in an incom plete state, and that as there were no goods stations and sidings provided by the company, they could not carry a goods traffic over the line. The consequence was a great loss to the Malvern Company. From his twenty years' experience of working railways, and being deputy-chairman of a line of 1,200 miles in length, he was enabled to point out to the Midland Company the difference that would result if the line were in their own hands, and they were to develope the traffic in a proper manner. The negotiation at length resulted in an offer from the Midland Company to take the line into their own hands, paying for it a net sum of £7,500 a year, provided the Malvern Company would pay for the land and other matters. This would, of course, fall short of the interest at 5 per cent. on the debentures and Lloyd's bonds, leaving nothing whatever for the original shareholders. His proposition was that the debenture-holders who had paid 20s. in the pound for their bonds, and who had a prior claim, should agree to take 4 per cent. per annum,and the holders of Lloyd's bonds which were issued at a discount should agree to take 2 per cent. They would have to raise money to pay for the land and to complete the works specified by the Midland Company, and the surplus revenue should then be divided equally between the debenture-holders and the Lloyd's bondholders. He strongly recommended them to agree to the proposition of the Midland Company. A verY long discussion ensued, some of the Lloyd's bondholders stating that they had paid 90 to 94 for their bonds, demanding 3 per cent., instead of 2 per cent., while some of the debenture-holders con tended that they should have the full 5 per cent., instead of 4 per cent. It wasstated that the Midland held 80,000 of the company's shares, and 0 verend, Gurney, and Co., £46,000 of the shares, but it was thought not worth the liquidator's while to waste money in opposing the arrangement before Parlia ment, and it was also thought the Midland would offer no opposition. Resolutions were unanimously passed to the effect that the meeting !approved the proposal to lease the line at a rent of £7,500 a year, and requested the directors to proceed with the bill in Parliament ; that, after providing for certain expenses, pay ments to landowners, and other creditors, the settle ment be on the basis of 4 per per cent. to the de benture holders, and 2 per cent. to the Lloyd's bondholders, dividing the surplus equally between them ; and that the best thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. Leeman for his valuable services, trusting that he would have the kindness to send the resolutions to the debenture and bondholders, requesting them to express their assent or dissent to the resolutions, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. SOUTH YORKSHIRE. The Thorne extension line from Doncaster to Sanda l l has just been inspected by Captain Tyler, of the Board of Trade, and approved.

The Thorne extension, besides bring ing Grimsby by some miles nearer to the west, will open the Lincolnshire ironstone fields. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL. The 'half-yearly general meeting of this company was held at the offices, Surrey-street, Strand ; Mr. G. Anderson in the chair. The report stated that the income for the past half-year showed an increase of £2,343, notwith standing there had been a very considerable outlay 111 repairs. The profits of the company for the half year, after providing the usual interest on the pre ference stock, and the total expenses of the canal, amounted to £24,527, to which was added balance from last account, making £30,778, out of which the directors recommended the payment of a dividend of £2 ss. per share free of income-tax upon 11,329 shares original stock, on the 15th inst., which would leave a balance of £5,288 to be carried forward to the next account. The estimate of the company's engineer for laying down a double line of rails from London to Braunston, 101 miles, was £1,031,346, and from Braunston to Birmingham, 40i miles, £454,005, keeping intact the present waterway of the canal. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously. The dividends were declared on the ordinary and preferential stock of the company, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. ,-""" ,f, , 1* . .17 - t. -, c -- c - fizt ,. ,-,7„,". - )17.7 .1 , 4, ,j„ 1 40 A• - A:2jl.A.a:_i__;,... tlttufal, ((mu ,_,,,---------, , , ~-. .- - s.- - - . 4' IiER MAJESTY, &c.

Yesterday Sir John Morris, the Mayor of Wol' verhampton, received through the Home Secretary the following reply of the Queen to the address which, drawn up by the recorder of the borough (Mr. J. J. Powell, Q.C.),' was read to her Majesty by that gentleman at the base of the statue of th e Prince Consort, previously to its being unveiled ou Friday last : Whitehall, Dec. 4, 1866. Sir,—l have it in command from her Majesty to expres s to you her entire satisfaction with all the arrangemen ts made for her reception at Wolverhampton on Friday lo t, and for the inauguration of the statue of the Prince Con sort. Her Majesty could not but be deeply touched by tho devoted loyalty manifested to herself by all classes of he r subjects on that interesting occasion, but she felt yet ra or° deeply the appreciation shown in your address of the d i " meter of those services which were rendered to his adopted country by him whose loss she can never cease to deploro, and of the motives of Christian duty under which the ser vices were rendered, and by which he stimulated others to follow in the path which he had traced out. I have much pleasure in conveying to you, as the repre sentative of that largo and industrious population wh ° were gathered together to do honour to his meluory, t hl) , feelings with which he r M a j es t y h as rece i ved your loyal and dutiful address.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, S. 11. WALPOLE. The Mayor of Wolverhampton. M. JULES FAVRE (Front the Paris Correspondent of the Times.) M. Jules Favre, famous for his eloquence lu the Legislative Chamber, and at th e B ar , o f w hich be Is the pride and ornament, has just published in en ° volume his inaugural discourses as head of the Orde r of Advocates (Batonnier), his memorableplead h l for Orsini, and four spe ec h es w hi c h h e pron ounce' in the Chamber last Session. He is one of the few . , public speakers whose orations m i g ht b e p r inted off hand without altering a phrase, a word, or eve ° the punctuation. His diction is distinguished for purity, propriety, and precision. He employs no words but what belong to the idiom of the lai i ; guage, and they are those which are appropriated by usage to the ideas he has to express. I le takes his phraseology purely from the French lan guage, and his selection of words is the hapPiet His style is elegant, fl ow i ng, an d transparen t. - 1 -u would be impossible for the severest critic to P at any expression in place of the one which h e employs ; and his diction, even when extemPe; rising, might be imitated by the most careful an d fastidious writer. Few exercise to a greater degre e of perfection the art which, when the speaker has to express some particularly vigorous sentiment, giv es to impassioned language its mo re fi n i s h e d farm. gis i delivery is always slow, sometime s t oo muc h so, an', his pauses have now and the n th e appearance of being too studied. His intonation is soft and silvery, even when uttering the most cutting sar casms, and it is never more musical than when " le most tortures his victim. In w h a t h as been We ll called passionless invective he is a co nsuminat e master. Of his general powers as a s p ea ker and ° f his peculiar style of oratory, well a g s his speech es read, no one who has not heard him can form an ado: quate idea. The ear alone can enable one to fee l the effect produced by that gentle and flexible voic e ' In his introductory remarks to the present volue le M. Jules Favre expresses his regret that the speake rs in the Legislative Body, b oun d as t h ey are by tu e rules of the House to the lite ra l repro d uct i on of their speeches in the Jloniteur, cannot recast them as the deputies and peers of other day s cou ld do, and O il ' lop off what is redundant, corl-ect and polish wha t is defective in style, and fit them for future times ; How many of these discourses w o u ld, e ven in the' most elaborate shape, go down to posterity, I e 31 1: not say ; but of all men he is the one who lea." needs such a process. M. Jules Favre long ago pointed out, in his Pla t t as deputy, what he considered to be the dangers 0 : 0t would result to France from the p o licy of M. Bisinark. The victory of Sad owa h asa ssuredll modified his opinions. In the p re f ace to his "O r , he still expresse s hi s uneas i ness a t th e ag grandi' o eo f meat of Prussia, and he praises the perspicaci t y the majority of the Chamber in having foreseen id Nor is he partial to an alliance between France a. Prussia. He says in his preface,— " My opinion on the situation of France Wit h r d ' spect to Germany is far from being so simple ; auh I understand that, after the terrible events wh ic have occurred, its expression may have lost its value' Nevertheless, it will be au h onour f or the maj °l.l , t s of the Chamb er t o h ave li s t ene d to th e which only acquired their full force when the pow",; ful voice of my hon. colleague, M. Thiers, seconde; mine, and to have adopted an amendment set til/ „ before the Government the perils to which the g r°v, ing ambition of Prussia exposed France and Ellr ° P o o I was deeply engrossed with it during the precc dl lo , session, when I earnestly urged efficacious hip matic interference in favour of our unhapPY ll Yof Denmark, Who now thinks of that sad triumP". o force over weakness and right ? Tho conIP l3l o f of betrayed States are stifled under the ruin s the Germanic Confederation, and of monarch' overthrown or partitioned. The map of C r . c c r i : many has been remodelled without our par ti p,tj pation and in spite of us. A formidable nat i°a and military unification menaces us. We are , dained until the time comes for us to be open ly fled. We have an answer to make to those p rol cations which prove how well founded were our f t ` 4l er r e It is, then, useful to repeat them s uch as they W eol , uttered before the terrible lesson which Justifies ri , in order that every man may meditate on the iraP e ale ous necessity imposed upon France by the suP r • law of her own safety. And it is here that the d; cussiou of our internal liberties, the demoustr3ticiS of the narrow bond which unites them to the great nesso and security of the country, appears to M e especially opportune. Perhaps never was the re its more solemn occasion for a nation to reflect oi l • . • situation, to invigorate itself, and to call to 11113 d old manly virtues which it has too much forr tt i ell ; Trials and reverses have this compensator)" 3civ hich tage that they force us back to the good froull:1;ay, the dazzling splendour of success has led u s a, and To be content with illusions would be crinalualore foolish. Let us look stedfastly at the way webt let passed over, on that which opens before us ; 3 7;0 us march unflinchingly to the point where yr truth, justice, right, and liberty." His account of the thoughts which agitated h. t .. when called upon to defend Orsini is worth quo " This defence bears the trace of the strong fe , ' inns which agitated me when I was broug ht 13- j contact with this man, who was legitimately desnee to a supreme expiation, and to whom, in spite °f t 3 , l i s magnitude of his crime, one could not refuse ass ist }lr e sympathy. When he called Upon me to I was at first appalled, for well understood tua struggle which two opposing feelings excited wit,llo me. The assassin I looked upon with patriot with admiration ; and I divined that shadow of the scaffold must, as it came near er ', C ce 1 11 the 0 face the one to transform the other. and painful struggle of my conscience I had other design than to make allowance for this d o u t u . 0 horror , t ! it , situation, placing above that lamentable drama a D a superior interest of the twg nations to which it pleased God to give this formidable lesson."
