SOLDIERS' AGES.—Of the 50,420 men serving in the regiments at home in the year 1863, not reckon ing the depots, the returns of ages are as follows :-6,016 were under 20 years of age ; 19,775 were 20, but under 25 ; 13,615 were 25, but not 30 ; 6,911 were 30, but not 35 ; 3,280 were 85, but not 50 ; 823 were 40 and upwards. There were, therefore, nearly as many above 25 as under. Of the recruits inspected in the same year nearly three fifths were under 20, 1,003 were boys under 17, 1,573 were from 17 to 18 , 7,764 from 18 to 19, 4,697 from 19 to 20, 3,221 from 20 to 21, 2,035 from 21 to 22, 1,851 from 22 to 23, 2,736 from 23 to 25, and 634 above 25. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF THE FATHER OF THE MAN WHO SHOT BOOTH, THE ASSASSIN.—On Tues day B. Corbett, aged 82, was conveyed to the Marylebone workhouse infirmary, so very ill and his head so dreadfully swollen from erysipelas that he cannot possibly survive many hours. For many years past the old man has lived in a small back room in Chapel-street, Edgware-road, and for the last seven years no one but himself had entered the place. He was understood to be a taxid erm i s t , and was considered to be very clever at his business. Nothing hay ing been seen or heard of him for some days the police were called in, and the door broken open, when the room was found to be full of rubbish, and Corbett was seen crouched in a corner, in a state of delirium. Ho was re moved at once to the workhouse. The room, from the floor to the ceiling, was found to be crammed with cases of stuffed birds, books, and papers. Tho latter wore carefully covered and labelled, and many of thorn appear to be of value. An avenue, 3ft. high by 2ft. wide, and formed of stuffed birds, dc., led to a recess, not much larger tkan the interior of an ordinary sized portmanteau, and this eccen tric individual must have slept in this recess for many years. From a statement made and by numerous letters found in the room, it appears that the old man is the father of Sergeant Corbett, of the Federal cavalry, who shot the assassin Booth, and who is expected shortly to arrive in this country. It has been agreed by a large number of influen tial farmers in the hundred of Wirral, assembled at a meeting in Birkenhead, to form a society for their mutual assurance should the cattle plague appear in the hundred. There are about 5,000 head of cattle in the district, valued in the aggregate at .C 50,000 or more. The insurance will amount to a uniform rate of £lO per beast ; and only the plague will bo insured against. It will be open to the owners of valuable cattle to take more shares than one for each beast. iin 0 •ce, il ' ° -as no 111 16 1 611 - , t lio hou la r fe° 37 bori na f ° ni rl' ocee'' 'ol l g .

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 2-ILths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 00 days' sight is IOCI to 110 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of go'd from the United states. LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. COURT OP BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Roche.) IN RE HENRI DRAYTON. This bankrupt, who is the well-known baritone, was described as formerly of Liverpool, lessee of tho Queen's Operetta House, then of 4, Compton road, Islington, now of 41, Great Ormond-street, Bloomsbury, vocalist, part of the time travelling in the provinces, giving an entertain ment called the Pederals and Confederates," also of Poly graphic Hall. The bankrupt came up on his own petition, and to-day was appointed for the proof of debts. Tho claims already on the file amount to £345. Amongst the creditors are, Mr. Hime, music publisher, Liverpool, £6O ; Mr. Hazlewood, broker, Holloway, £lOO, secured by his having possession of a panorama used in the entertainment called " Federals and Confederates ;" Mr. M'Call, printer, Liverpool, £150; Messrs. Snodgrass and Brown, upholsterers, Liverpool, £lOO, secured by stage property belonging to the bankrupt, and placed by him in the Liverpool Theatre, worth about £7O. The cause of the failure is said to be the non-success of the undertaking at the Liverpool Theatre and of the musi cal lecture. Debts were proved and assignees chosen. IN RE DR. PARFITT. This bankrupt was described as of Pall-mall, late of Windsor, surgeon, and to-day he came up for proof of debts. The claims against the estato are about £5,000; assets at present uncertain. Mr. Jackson, of Littlo Tower-street, is the assignee. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MAR , LBOROIMII-STREET. ALLEGED SYSTEMATIC ROBBERlES.—Elizabeth Dale, a tailoress, residing in Dudley. street, was charged before Mr. Knox as follows: Mr. Samuel Arthurs, china dealer, of 38, Little Pul teney-stroet, said that on the previous evening the prisoner came into his shop and made a purchase. In consequence of what he was informed he went after and stopped her, when she threw away a glass salt-cellar she had stolen from the shop. Inspector Bowles, C division, asked for a remand, stating that a large quantity of property was found in the pri soner's possession at the time she was taken into custody. Amongst the articles were some alpaca, two dozen pairs of stockings, 69 skeins of silk, several pieces of ribbons and trimmings, two now pairs of boots, a piece of bacon, four towels, and three haddocks. Inspector Bowles said there was reason to believe the articles were stolen. The prisoner was remanded. THE REGENT-STREET NUISAXCE.—Marie Durant, a Frenchwoman, was charged beforo Mr. Knox with loiter ing in Regent-street for an immoral purpose, to the annoy ance of the inhabitants of the street. Mr. Henry Dolby, engraver, of Regent-quadrant, proved watching the prisoner (who had been known to him for a year as a prostitute walking Regent-street) last night in Regent-street, and seeing her accost several gentlemen. He called a constable's attention to the prisoner, and then gave her into custody for annoying him as one of the inha bitants of the street. The prisoner ran away from the con stable, who wont after her, and as soon as he caught hold of her she became very violent, and caused a large crowd to collect. In answer to Mr. E. Lewis, of Marlborough-street, who appeared for the prisoner, Mr. Dolby said if ho was told that the prisoner had only been in this country a short time he would not believe it. Joseph Faulkner, 340 A, corroborated Mr. Dolby, and proved seeing the prisoner accost several gentlemen. Ho had seen her about the street for a month past. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate on the prisoner's be half, stating that he was instructed that the prisoner had only returned to England a month ago, after an absence of three years. He did not think it probable that Mr. Dolby, who was so zealous in the matter, and who was the only person who came forward in these cases, would have allowed her to go on for twelve months without interfer ing. The prisoner had never been charged at the Court before. Mr. Knox said that since April last there had only been one case of the kind brought before him, so that he might take it that the nuisance had been abated. It was a mis take to say that Mr. Dolby was the only person who took part in these cases. He could have no doubt in arriving at a conviction ; but, solely on the ground that the nuis ance was abated, he would mitigate the penalty one half this time. The prisoner was then fined 205., or 14 days. Mr. Dolby said tho inhabitants of the street wore grate ful for the assistance they had recoil-0d from the court. WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL AFFRAY BETWEEN WOMEN.—Caroline Somos, a dissipated woman, well known at this Court, was charged with a violent assault upon a low woman named Laney, also an old offender, The complainant, whose right eye was completely closed, whose head was a mass of bandages, and her face a collection of cuts, scratches, bruises, and blood, said that she was in a public-house called the Feathers on Wednes day night, and saw prisoner, who began quarrelling, knocked her down, and then struck and stabbed her, till she became too weak to get up from loss of blood. In reply to the magistrate, she said she was a married woman, but had lived apart from her husband for five years, four of which she had passed with a man from whom she had only separated a fortnight. A prostitute, named Johnson, got into the witness-box, drunk, and said she saw the beginning and end of it. The prisoner came in with a poker and committed a most des perate assault on complainant, who was drunk. Prisoner, in defence, said that the prosecutrix's husband wanted to fight hers —she separated them, and then they set prosecutrix on to her, who attacked her and knocked her down. Sho took her own part, and had she not smashed prosecutrix's head against a tub till she was senseless she might have been killed herself. No ono in terfered, but lot them fight it out. Mr. Sells—Both have been here before, and both aro bad characters. It is most horrible and disgraceful to hoar the scenes that passed in that district, of which this is only a sample. The prisoner was sentenced to 14 days' hard labour. THAMES. CONVICTION OF A CIUMP.—DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO MURDER A SEAMAN.--John Scandoff, a Danish boarding house-keeper, of No. 1, Denmark-street, Rateliff-highway, who was apprehended last night on a warrant, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Edward How laud, a police-constable, No. 89 11. The prisoner was fined £lO yesterday for detaining the tools, clothes, chest, and effects of a:ship's carpenter, namq.d Wilson, and ho was also ordered to pay £4O more or deliver the property claimed by the sailor immediately. In pursuance of the order of the magistrate, Howland pro ceeded to the dwelling of Scandoff with Wilson and two other seamen to see that their property was restored by Scan doff. While engaged in this task he was violently assaulted by the prisoner, and the affray took place in a room where a boarding-hous e keeper was murdered by a seaman about four years ago. Tho sailor was found guilty of wilful murder, and ordered for execution. His sentence was commuted to transportation for life. Howland said he went with the prisoner to Standoff's house to got their clothes. The prisoner was very much excited on reaching his house. He begged of the prisoner to be calm, and go into his parlour and lie down on the sofa. The prisoner complied with his request, and witness sat down on a chair near him. The seamen began to pack up their things in the passage. The prisoner no sooner heard them doing so than ho jumped up from the sofa in a violent passion, said some thing in his own language, which he could not understand, and knocked him off the chair he was sitting on. He fell on the floor, and was half stunned by the blow. The prisoner then advanced towards the carpenter Wilson with a knife in his hand, and attempted to plunge it into his body. Ho seized the prisoner by the arm, pulled him back, and secured him. The sailors re moved their chests, and the whole of their property, with the exception of a pair of shoes, which were afterwards recovered. Mr. Paget said it was entirely owing to the presence of mind and the promptitude of Howland that the prisoner was not about Lc) be sent to Newgate for trial for a more serious offence. Howland saved the sailor's life. The prisoner, however, would not escape punishment for the assault he had committed upon Howland, and it would be the most severe penalty the law allowed him to inflict. He would teach the prisoner and all others of his class that it was their duty to conduct themselves in an orderly, peaceable, and proper manner, and that they could not resist the proper execution of the law, and impose upon sailors with impunity. Ho sentenced the prisoner to two months' im prisonment and hard labour. The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the following as the atmo s p heric situation yesterday : barometer has falle n 10 m illi me t res I " re A la n n e d. v at Nairn, in the North of Sc otland ; the winds blow between S. and W. on all the British coasts, and gale The appears this morning o n th e c oast of generally in all the quarters west of France, and in the basins of the North Sea and of the Atlantic. In the circuit of the gale in one half of France the sky is generally cloudy or obscured, and rain falls at intervals, although the rise in the barometer has continued. In Provence, and above all in the Spanish Peninsula, more elevated pressures exist, and the sky is generally clear. This gale will pro bably advance towards the South, threatening the Scandinavian Peninsula. Squalls are to be appre hended on the coasts of Italy."—ln Paris yester day the early part of the day wa s fine, but the weather changed to rain towards the evening. The thermometer at three in the afternoon marked 16 3 Centigrade (60 2-5 Fahrenheit). CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Pigott.) Jacob Brenner, aged 25, cabinet-maker, who was re manded from the last session, was placed in the dock on an indictment, charged with feloniously killing and slaying Joseph Kuchen. Mr. Poland and Mr. Orridge prosecuted, and Mr. Pater, instructed by Mr. Willis, of New Inn, ap peared for the defence. The prisoner, being a foreigner, elected to be tried by a mixed jury of Englishmen and foreigners, and M. Albert interpreted. Tho deceased was a cabinet-maker, residing at Stratord, and the prisoner was in his employ, lodging in the same house. On Sunday night, the 27th of August, the deceased, his wife, and pri soner, and others, went out to see a person off by the train. On their return a quarrel took place. The deceased, who was stabbed, as alleged, by the prisoner, was removed to the London Hospital, where ho died. The evidence, which was given for the most part by the quarre:some Germans who were engaged in the row, was, as might have been expected, of a very contradictory cha racter. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and recommended him to mercy. The Judge deferred sentence. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) FRAUDS BY FOREIGNERS. Louis Jordan, 36, and Angelina Jordan, his wife, wore indicted for fraud. The male prisoner pleaded guilty. The indictment against the female prisoner was withdrawn, and she was acquitted. Alex. Barthe was then indicted for forgery. The pri soner, it appeared, obtained a quantity of goods from An toine Regondi, of Greek-street, Soho, and other commercial houses, on the false representation that they were for re spectable persons. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Metcalfe then informed his Lordship that the gang of which the prisoner was ono had been for some time engaged in robbing a great many merchants on the Con tinent, by inducing them to remit goods to England, under the impression that they were dealing with a respectable firm. In one case ono of the gang had forged the signa ture of a Romish Archbishop to a bill. His lordship, in passing sentence, paid a high compli ment to Inspector Hamilton and Detective Foulger, for the clever way they had broken up this gang of swindlers. Ho passed upon the prisoner a sentence of six years' penal servitude. Jordan was then brought up, and sentenced to sixteen months' imprisonment. TITS ROBBERY AT PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY'S.—The pri soners &lieu, Spooner, and Utton, who were convicted yesterday of robbing their master, Mr. Holloway, were sentenced—Sellen to nine months' imprisonment, Spooner to seven, and Utton to 10 years' penal servitude. 130 132 118 150 90 92 631 61 61 63 43 65 36 39 104 106 1211 1221 89 0 1 104 1(6 38 60 50 52 1241 1241 96 97 676 OSi 1881 139 31 11p 16 liP 102 104 126} 1261 14 2 I 96 98 61i 8 90 110 111 68 60 103 103! 36 37 10 11 p 118 120 li I,p 1} 14p 75 76 10 11 148 152 5.5 60 60 6: 67 69 80 8 84 94 148 152 3 4 p 103 105 50 52 ISIONS. 58 60 101 102 id *0 5 } 51 10 11 7.5 80 99 101 70 75 101 103 101 102 1034 104 i 21 24 87 89 63 67 55 60 53 57 r 2 55 46 49 43 45 28 29 28 <9 103 104 IP 2P 101 102 151 18} I 5 ilid 15 18 85 87 1 4d 100 102 93 95 83 90 64 66 82 84 101 102 101 102 id 100 101 1011 I T SECU 95 97 93 85 93 95 81 83 81 83 103 105 107 109 106 104 105 107 931 911 IC3 105 110 112 103 105 104 100 107 109 Irs 107 102 104 96 08 91 101 93 95 90 11 103 105 84i 85i 99 101 102 103 106 108 105 106 NES. Pari3 Universal Exhibition. The Committee of Council on Education (Science and Art Department) have just published the general regula tions of the imperial commission for the Exhibition of 1867. These regulations, which appear to be well considered and arranged, were discussed by the commissioners on the 7th of July, and approved by imperial decree on the 12th of tho same month. Section 1 deals with the general ar rangements and systems of classification. It sets forth that the Universal Exhibition, for the reception of the works of art, and of the products of agriculture and industry of all nations, will be held in a temporary building on the Champ do Mars, to be opened on the Ist April, 1867, and close on the 31st of Oct. following. Around the Exhibi tion building there will be a park for the reception of cattle and other living animals, as well as for such con structions and objects as cannot be exhibited in the main building. Local committees are established in every de partment of the French empire to transact the business of the exhibition, to point out what productions seem specially calculated to be exhibited, and above all to promote the exhibition of the agricultural products of the department. A commission of experts will make a careful study of the exhibition, and publish a report upon the means of ap plying in the departments the lessons which the exhibition may teach. Subscriptions are to be collected to enable overseers, agriculturists, and mechanics to visit and study the exhibition, and to pay the expense of publishing the reports. Measures will be taken to obtain a proper representation of the products of Algeria and ,the other French colonies. Tho contributions of foreign countries will be arranged through a commission appointed by each foreign Government. The commissions are now for the most part formed, and in communication with the Imperial commission. No pro ducts sent by a foreign exhibitor can be admitted except through the medium of his foreign commission represent ing him, who are charged with the carriage, reception, and return of the productions of their countrymen. The Eng lish commissioners are the Science and Art Department of the South Kensington Museum. All communications in regard to the exhibition must be addressed to the secretary, with " Paris Exhibition, 1867," in the corner. Tho com missioners have now issued a printed form to bo filled up by those who require space, and recommend intending exhibitors to apply at once, though February '2B, 1866, has been fixed as the last day for receiving demands for space. Plans drawn to scale will be supplied to the foreign commissioners to facilitate the division of space, and before January 31, 1866, plans in detail on a 1-50th scale will show the space allotted to each exhibitor. Each foreign country may claim for the formation of a special park a portion of the Champ do Mars ; and, as a guide to the arrangement of such park, the Imperial commission publish the plans adopted by French exhibitors for arranging animals, plants, and models. In each section assigned to the exhibitors of the same country the objects will bo divided into 10 groups, which are subdivided into 95 classes. The groups aro as follows :-Ist, works of art ; 2d, apparatus and applications of the liberal arts ; 3d, furniture and articles intended for dwelling houses ; 4th, clothing, including fabrics and other articles worn on the person ; sth, products of mining, both raw and manufactured; 6th, instruments and processes of the common arts ; 7th, food in various stages of preparation, both fresh and preserved ; Bth, live products and examples of agricultural establishments; 9th, live products and ex amples of horticultural establishments ; 10th, objects exhi bited with the special purpose of improving the moral and physical condition of the people. No works of arts or objects exhibited in the exhibition building or in the park will be allowed to be copied or reproduced in any manner without the authority of the exhibitors, except by such general views of the exhibition as the Imperial Commission autho rises. No objects can be withdrawn before the close of the exhibition without special authority. There is no rent for space, but every exhibitor defrays his own costs for fittings and decorations. The important special ar rangements with reference to works of art are as follow : —Only such as have been executed since January 1, 1855, will be received for exhibition. The following will not be received :—Copies, including those which repro duce a work in a manner different from the original ; oil paintings, miniatures, water-colour paintings, pastels, designs, and cartoons for stained glass and frescoes with out frames; sculptures in unbaked clay. The special ar rangements respecting the products of agriculture and in dustry prohibit the admission of detonating, explosive, and other substances of a dangerous nature. This . of course excludes percussion caps, fireworks, Welder matches, and all similar articles, unless deprived of all inflammable ingredients. Spirits, oils, and essences must be in strong vessels of small dimensions, suitable for the puiposo of exhibition. Exhibitors of apparatus requiring the use of water, gas, or steam, must state the amount of each required, the rate of speed, and the motive power necessary. There are copious directions for the dispatch, reception, and placing of goods in the exhibition building. The general administration and police ar rangments differ but little from what were found to answer so well in the last Paris Exhibition. An appendix to the regulations gives in full and abridged the various classes coming under the groups enumerated above.—Galiptani. FATAL ACCIDENT TO THE HON. MR. BLACK WOOD.—The Hon. Mr. Blackwood, the brother of Lord Dufferin, died yesterday, at Newmarket, under very painful circumstances. The hon. gentleman, it appears, was riding on the heath on Tuesday afternoon, when his horse came into collision with one of the ropes which are placed on each side of the course, and throw his rider, and then fell heavily upon him. Mr. Blackwood was picked up quite insensible and taken, by the Marquis of !hidings and Mr. Henry Saville, in a brougham, to the residence of Dr. Day. On seeing the unfortunate gentleman, Dr. Day at once pronounced his case as hopeless. Everything, how ever, that could possibly be of service t o the patient was done, but after lingering through the ni g ht he expired at half-past two yesterday afternoon. UNPUNCTUAL TRAINS.—In the Manchester County Court, yesterday, an action was brought by Mr. J. Rhodes, Levenshulme, against the London and North- Western Railway Company, to recover 3s. 6d., a sum which the plaintiff was said to have called upon to pay in consequence of the defendants' negligence. One night last month the plaintiff took a ticket at the Com pany's station at Saddleworth, for the purpose of travel ling to Manchester by the train announced in the Com pany's time bill to leave at 9 40, and to reach Manchester at 10 30. The train did not leave Saddleworth till 10 45, and it was 11 80 when it arrived at the Victoria Station Manchester. The plaintiff was in consequence prevented going to Levenshulmo by the 11 35 train from the London road station, and he hired a cab, for which ho paid 3s. 6d., the sum which he now sought to recover.—Mr. Brett, solicitor, said, on behalf of the company, that the time bills stated that the company did not guarantee the punc tual starting or arrival of their trains.—The judge (Mr. Ovens) said that as the time occupied in the journey was below that advertised, the plaintiff could not sue for the non-arrival of the train within a reasonable time. Hie claim was that the train did not come to Saddleworth at the time stated. Was it a contract on the part of the com pany to start the train at 940 ? The plaintiff relied on the time bill for such contract, but the bill must be taken as a whole, and it would bo seen from another announce ment in the bill that the company did not guarantee the starting from Saddleworth at 9 40. He was compelled to give a verdict for the defewlante. ITIES. 1051 5 f 4} FI M. 2.1.0 291 2.14.8 31 2.14.0 8.3.8 3.9.0 10.8.0 The Sanitary State of Cheltenham. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the Standard, of the 13th instant, a letter appeared under the initials " M. D.," reflecting se verely on the sanitary state of Cheltenham. As pointed allusion has been publicly made that one, if not all of us, had cognisance of the aforesaid letter, we emphatically deny all knowledge of the same both before its publication in the Standard and up to the present moment. It is not our present intention to enter into any discussion on the truthfulness or otherwise of " M. D.'s" remarks, and, with one ex cepticn, we shall refrain from further allusion to them. The writer refers to the polluted state of Hatherley Brook , running through the Benhall Farm, occupied by Mr. Smith, on which farm a devastat ing disease has appeared among his herd of twenty-four cattle, causing within a month the death of seventeen dairy cows and one bull. Feeling an interest, as medical men, in collecting facts connected with this virulent and fatal disorder we have visited the suffering animals, watched the symptoms and progress of the disease, and noted the morbid appearances at several post-mortem ex aminations, at which some of us assisted. We con sider we are simply discharging a public duty, now that the subject has been broached, to state the result of our observations as to the condition of the brook. During the whole of the time that we visited the farm the brook was in the foulest condition imaginable ; and as the animals had their daily supply of water from this offensive and polluted stream, we cannot but regard the excessive mortality amongst Mr. Smith's cows as in a great measure due' to this cause. As a matter personal to ourselves, we may state that about twelve months ago our attention was directed to the then fcetid and foul exhalations emanating from the river Chelt and Hatherley Brook, and we did not hesitate openly to express our conviction that, un less these evils were remedied, any epidemic occur ring in the district would be intensified, and its ravages especially be disastrous along the borders of these streams. It was, therefore, partly with a view to remedy the unwholesome and pestilential condition of these streams, as well as to test the merits of Dr. Bird's system of deodorising and utilising sewage and purifying the water passing from sewage works into rivers and brooks, that we authorised him to offer to the Cheltenham Board of Commissioners to take the sewage works of the town for the purpose of utilising the sewage, purifying and rendering wholesome the Chelt and Hatherley Brook, relieving the ratepayers from the heavy annual loss which has hitherto we believe been incurred, indemnifying them from any actions arising from any nuisance connected with the works ; and, lastly, agreeing to find ample securities for the effectual performance of the above engagements. This offer on the part of Dr. Bird and his friends was quietly shelved. Mark the sequence. Hatherley Brook has not been purified. Our predictions have been fearfully and fatally fulfilled. An epidemic has appeared on the borders of Hatherley Brook. The cattle at Benhall Farm have died. And now at the twelfth hour the surveyor of the town has purchased a ton of Bird's deodorising powder to aid him in rectify ing this abominable nuisance ! Further comment is needless—facts speak for themselves.—We are, sir, your obedient servants, THOMAS R. COLLEDGE, M.D. W. H. HOOPER, M.D. THOMAS SMITH, M.D. HENRY BIRD, D.L.R.C.P.L. Cheltenham, 25th Oct., 1865. Austrian Despatch to the Frankfort Senate. FRANKFORT 0.M., Oct. 25. The following is the full text of the despatch addressed by the Austrian Government to Baron von Frankenstein, the Austrian /envoy in this city : " Vienna, Oct. 8. " The proceedings of the congress of delegates from German Diets have sufficiently demonstrated the internal untenability of the new attempt at agi tation and the divisions among political parties in Germany. The letters sent by the deputies of cer tain diets declining to participate in the meeting, to gether with the unmistakeable indifference of the public, must have shown even the originators of this meaningless demonstration the preposterousness of their undertaking to subject to arrogant criti cism the resolutions of the two first powers of Germany. But even if the speeches made, and the resolutions in their—to speak mildly—unbecom ing form and semi-revolutionary character, met with the disregard they merited, this failure in no degree effaces the offensive nature of the fact that the abuse lavished upon the great Powers, which daily fills the columns of the democratic press, has been publicly repeated in Frankfort, under the eyes of the Federal Diet, and of the troops of the two Powers. Further, it must not be lost sight of, that the committee of thirty-six, which convoked the congress of delegates, was upon this occasion re-ap pointed, and that the general committee and the special committee for the conduct of business, as the permanently declared organ of the German re volutionary party, only await a better opportunity to reappear with more success upon the scene. All the Governments of Germany will undoubt edly agree wlth us that the mere existence of the committee of thirty-six, independently of the effects of the recent immoderate proceedings of the as sembly at Frankfort, and of the offensive character towards the great German Powers of its resolutions, is entirely unconstitutional and illegal. The Frank fort Senate will especially be unable to deny from a federal point of view that the seat of the Diet should least of all lend itself to be the arena of these illegal agitations. As far back as the Congress of Dele gates, held on Dec. 21, 1863, when the establish ment of a permanent committee to carry out the wishes of the people as a centre for the activity of associations, of the progress press party, &c., was de termined upon, we have not failed, in conjunction with Prussia, to offer serious remonstrances against the indulgence extended to these intrigues at the seat of the Federal Diet. Since that period the fre quent succession of the manifestations there made proves the slight amount of attention paid to the confidential remarks then offered by the representa tives of Austria and Prussia to the chief mayor of the city. In view of this circumstance, as well as in the conviction that acts of so usurping a character as as those of the committee and the congress of dele gates cannot be longer permitted in silence, and thereby be allowed to become habitual, without serious common danger, the cabinets of the great powers cannot but perceive an inevitable necessity again to direct the entire attention of the Senate to the proceedings alluded to, and to its relations towards them as a Federal State. We feel assured that not only will such passionate invectives, and so extreme an,expression of party opinion as at the meeting of the late congress of delegates, no longer find a future asylum in Frank fort, but that the Senate will henceforth not permit the meetings of the new assemblies summoned upon Frankfort territory by the committee of thirty-six. The authority of the Senate, to which we first address ourselves, will, it is to be hoped, relieve us from the necessity of deliberating upon other steps• to prevent in future such illegal attempts as have. hitherto been made at the seat of the Federal Diet. Your Excellency is requested, as soon as your Prussian colleague is empowered to take a similar step, to read this despatch to the chief governing mayor, and if desired to leave him a copy of the same for confidential use.—Receive, &c., (Signed) MENSDORFF. THE HEALTH OF SWANSEA.—The yellow fever has completely disappeared, and the health of the town is in if most satisfactory state. Some three weeks ago the French Foreign Minister, M. Drouyn de Lhuys, issued an order that all French vessels visiting Swansea must produce a clean bill of health, and the Belgian Government adopted a similar course. In consequence of the representations since made by the French Vice-Consul at Swansea as to the health of the port this order has been withdrawn by the French Government, and a like step is expected on the part of Belgium. According to a return made to the Board of Health, the total deaths in the town from yellow fever did. not exceed ten. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

ITARRis, Assistant-Commissioner to the Police of the Metropolis. Metropolitan Police Office, Oct. 26, 1865. Memorial to the Late Lord Combermere. The statue which has been recently erected in honour of the late Field Marshal Viscount Corn bermere, at Chester, was yesterday inaugurated with all the honours which Cheshire men could pay to the memory of the far-famed " Cheshire Hero." The memorial consists of an equestrian statue by Baron Marochetti, which stands upon a fine pedestal of grey granite opposite the principal en trance to Chester Castle. His lordship is repre sented on a fine charger, and fully equipped as a field marshal. The inscription which has been placed temporarily on the front of the pedestal is as follows :—Erected in honour of Stephen Cotton, Viscount Combermere, Field Marshal; born, 1773 ; died, 1865. On the reverse side are inscribed the following names of places associated with the dis tinguished achievements of the deceased :—Flan ders, Cape of Good Hope, Mollavelly, Seringapa tam, the Douro, Talavera, Torres Vedras, Busaco, Villa Garcia, Custrajon, Fuentes d'Onor, Sala manca, Ciudad Rodrigo, El Bodon, the Pyrenees, Orthes, Toulouse, 'West Indies, Bhurtpore. The ceremonies of the inauguration commenced with a procession, formed at the Savings-bank, situated a short distance from the statue, and consisting of local volunteers and the military of Chester garrison. Being marshalled to the statue, the military and volunteers formed three sides of a square. A civic procession then took up its position in the square, and Earl Grosvenor, M.P., called upon Lieut.-General Sir Edward Cust to deliver an address. Sir Edward responded to the call, and referred to some episodes of Lord Comhermere's life with which he (Sir Edward) was personally familiar. He observed that it was painful to him to remember that those who were companions in arms with the late field marshal were no longer here, and that those who were con nected with him in the Duke's army were now only respresented by himself (Sir Edward) and Colonel Tomkinson ; but it was gratifying to him (Sir E. Cust) to see that statue, because the very first shot he ever heard fired in actual warfare was when he was standing by the side of Lord Combermere. He characterised Lord Combermere as a man in the truest English sense of the word, and as a warrior of plucky energy and perseverance. At the end of his speech a signal was given, and the statue was unveiled. Amidst enthusiastic shouts of applause —a rainbow appearing in the sky at the moment— the troops presented arms as the statue of the vete ran field marshal was exposed to view, the band played the National Anthem, and the bells of the churches commenced ringing. The asssncblage then broke up, and proceeded to the site of a new town hall, the foundation-stone of which was laid by the Mayor of Chester (Mr. R. Frost). SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

A DARING BURGLAR AT HUDDERSFIELD.—YO - terday, at the Huddersfield Police-court, Henry Beaumont, millwright, was charged with burglary. It appeared that the prisoner went to Andrew Thornton, smith, of New -street, Paddock, and got him to construct a machine which he said was for the purpose of screwing up beams, and which is on the principle of a screw-jack. He made a drawing with dimensions for Thornton to work to, and said the machine was for his master, and if it suited thirty or forty more would be wanted. Thornton finished it at half-past eight on the evening of Thursday, the 19th instant, and at half-past eleven the same night Beaumont was seen using it for the purpose of forcing open the door leading into the shop of Mr. Hirst, pawnbroker, Buxton-road, the door opening into a passage about aft 61n wide, and being situated about four y ards from the main street. The man had one end of t he machine against the wall, and the other against the door which he was forcing open by means of a powerful screw, when Mr. Bagshaw, who lives on the premises , disturbed him, and after a chase captured him. In about three hours after Beaumont got possession of the machine he was locked up on a charge o burglary. Ile was couuuittod for trial at the assizes.
