The attention of the politicians of Europe is naturally being directed at present to the state of a ff a irs in the Austrian Empire and the States belonging to it. The complication of matters is increasing, and the opening of the Diets which took place recently of course discloses some of the views and opinions of the members. As before the atten tion of the assemblies was to be directed to the suspension of the Constitution and the matters appertaining to that movement. A private sitting has been held by some of the members of the Diet of the Lower Province of Austria, and at this si tting, which lasted some time, very earnest and animated language was used. The chief result of the affair seems to hate beep the determination arrived at, of the Diet electing a committee in order to draw up an address to the Crown.. It is so far ,satisfaotizry that this should have occurred, since it shows that there is some spirit of resistance extant among the members of this Diet, and this is further proved by the reports circulated as to the nature of the address being a protest against the suspension of the Constitution. Indeed, if it be true that the same course will be adopted by many of the Diets, the Imperial Govern , ment will thus receive an incontrovertible proof of the unpopularity of their recent act. It was, indeed, a very false move to make, and one that was eminently calculated to give great offence l in all directions. It tantalised the people who had begun on a sure foundation, as they thought, to form their hopes and make their plans. Now all is in a chaotic state, and confusion worse confounded reigns paramount. No wonder then that the usual even tenour of the way of these Diets and Assemblies should be changed, and that discord and discontent should intrude where calm and order formerly prevailed. In the Bohemian Diet there will in all probability be great strife, and the representatives of the several parties will make that their battle-ground. It is trilling with the Assemblies for Imperial letters to be sent to them, which lay great stress upon the necessity of forming a constitution, and yet which contain such provisions as ren der :the object nearly, if not quite, un attainable. The way which the Government of the Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH deems it desirable to take is so tortuous a one that any one may be excused from attempting to follow it, or to compre hend the motives of its projectors. It is very well to talk of securing the rights and privileges of the kingdom and provinces, and to unite them indis solubly at the same time ; but what assurance have we that any of these efficacious arrangements will last when they are completed, and that we shall not witness anew the bouleversenzent of the grand attempt. It has been proposed for a committee to examine the two important documents of the Mani festo and the Patent Law. The five committees which are to be held will send in reports to the respective Diets, and also advance such proposals as they think fit. The general object of this will be a decided opposition to the Imperial Government, although it may be carried on quietly, and not contain any angry elements in its composition. The ex-Minis ter of State, M. VON SCHMERLING, would not give a vote at all, which result appears to have created great displeasure in some quarters, although, no doubt, he was wise in his resolve, under the pecu liar circumstances of the case. Whatever be the consequence of these expressions of opinion, it is certain that more individuality is being manifested than is often met with among German politicians, and that at any rate we are on the eve of dangers of some kind in that quarter. It was never sup posed that the extraordinary measure of suspending the constitution would be popular, but ; notwith standing, few persons expected so decided a de meanour to be manifested, and such a vigorous opposition to be inaugurated at the very outset of the campaign as it were. Nothing can be more de cided than the terns which are employed for the drawing up of the motion by the Diets, and the Government can hardly afford to ignore the meaning of them, however much inclined they may be to do so. It is stated that " no part of the Diploma of October of 1860, or of the Patent Law of February, 1861, gives to the Crown a right to suspend the Constitution ;" and further on we find the significant intimation that the Patent Law of the 20th of Sep tember, 1865, violates the constitutional rights which are based on the " Diploma of October and the Constitution of February." Nothing can be more plain than this ; and more is added, to the effect that the rights of the Provincial Diets, which " his MAJESTY solemnly promised and vowed to uphold, are imperilled by the suspension of the Constitution." The work of legislation is, in deed, taken from those who ought to exercise it, and given to the absolute power instead of to the representatives of the people. It ought to have been a weighty matter, indeed, which induced the Imperial Government thus to fly in the face of the wishes and expectations of the Representative Assem blies, to thwart the expectations of the people. It is a degradation to the EMPEROR and his Ministers in the eyes of Europe for them to be told plainly that they could have brought about the modification of the constitution " in a perfectly legal way with out recourse beinghad to extreme measures." Such a reflection is perfectly true, but it is not the less neither complimentary nor reassuring to the powers that be. Altogether the course of events has of late been un propitious in the extreme for Austria, and that country has lost greatly in public estimation—with its foreign affairs as relates to the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, and its domestic matters re specting the suspension of the Constitution, and other matters. It is very difficult for us in this country rightly to determine the motives which have actuated the Imperial Government in their recent transactions ; but be they what they may the result is before us, and it is one alike to be de plored and denounced for its present effect, and its ultimate influence on the interests of the empire. In Hungary the state of things is not very encou raging, and the hopes of its well-wishers are on the wane just now. The elections are not being con ducted in at all a satisfactory manner, and alto gether there is far more promise than performance, and greater merit in theory than practice to be met with in this persecuted kingdom. The financial state of its affairs is also in a very disastrous con dition, and all the parade that has been made concerning the advantages accruing to it from Austrian rule is founded on falsity, and can no longer take in or deceive any but the very uninitiated and inexperienced. It would seem, when we take a fair estimate of the chief events of importance that have occurred in Austria,i a n p theea consolidated, appeared d a i f give there had been great want of foresight minds of the rulers. When the Constitution at earthly satisfaction, use c a o n u d wasthere in dis turbing r e nt the community by all these changes ? A more unwise device could hardly have been resorted to, and it is difficult to over -estimate the evil con sequence that may ensue from it to all the interests concerned. The Circular Note addressed to the Spani s h repre sentatives at foreign courts relative to the war with Chili does not afford much satisfaction to those who hope for a speedy acknowledgment of the Spanish mistake. In this Note the Minister for Foreign Affairs expresses his approval of the conduct of Admiral PAREJA, and states that the reply of the Chilian Government to the first overtures of the Spanish admiral precluded the possibility of further negotiations, even through the mediation of the diplomatic body. Spain, adds the Minister, does not aspire to the conquest of the South American Republics, but she will not permit her dignity to be outraged without exacting satisfaction. The " over tures" the Spanish Minister speaks of were not exactly calculated to call forth an amicable reply. When we remember the inculting and peremptory terms of Admiral PAREJA'S communication to the Chilian Government, the selection of the very day of their anniversary festival for the demand, the humi liation required from the Chilian authorities, together with the brief interval allowed for consideration, an interval so brief that nothing but absolute surrender and wholesale indemnities could satisfy Spanish greed and aggression, we shall not be much disposed to acknowledge the justice of the Spanish Minister's statement. We hear next a great deal about the maintenatce of Spanish dignity, though coupled with a disclaimer of any purposes of conquest. The experience of San Domingo might have taught the " dignified" nation more humility in boasting of her intentions to conquer or not to conquer. Possibly the South American Republics which succeeded half a century ago in throwing off her yoke might not submit so readily to its re-imposition at the present day as she seems to imagine. Probably, however, we shall - be justified in regarding this Note as a piece of national bombast, to satisfy that gran diloquent people whose dignity is always in their mouths and nowhere else. The Spanish Govern ment will hardly dare to press the matter to extremities, even though the Nacion declares that the foreign policy of France is sufficiently generous to despise commercial considerations. The spiteful manner in which a thrust is made at England proves that the activity displayed in our commercial circles has occasioned some uneasiness at Madrid. Meanwhile, the internal affairs of Spain are not altogether tranquil. The Progressista party have issued a manifesto demanding reforms which are more in accordance with the spirit of the age than with the temper of the Spanish Court and Govern ment. Individual, civil, and political liberty, liberty of the press, and liberty of con science, are among the foremost of their requirements, and they are such that we need not wonder to find the name of ESPARTERO affixed to them. The General promises the assistance of " his arm and his heart" to defend these liberties, but he declines to accept the Presidency of the Progres sista Committee. It will be some time before these reforms in their great principles, or in their modifi cations, will be accepted in Spain; but it is something that there should be a considerable party among her population who have power to see the right and courage to demand it. The arrival of the Peruvian with news from New York to the 18th of the month shows us some signs that all is not settled in the States. There are symptoms which indicate a growing feeling of irri tation respecting the occupation of Mexico by the French troops, though the Government has as yet made no sign. It is true that the sale of transports has been suspended in Louisiana, and that orders have been received in Texas to discontinue the sales of Government property and the mustering out of troops ; but the members of the Administration have naturally preserved the usual official silence on so momentous a question. General GRANT, however, has been less discreet or cautious. His views with regard to the Mexican question are already pretty well known, as he has not hesi tated to give them full expression on every oppor tunity. He has always been something of a popular hero since the conclusion of the war, although he had in reality less to do with enforcing the surren der of the South than SHERMAN. Just now he is receiving a good deal of popular attention in New York, and has visited the Union League Club, when a gentleman present delivered a speech expressing sympathy with Mexico, and a firm belief in her coming deliverance. General GRANT, in reply, de clared that Mr. BEC KMAN, the speaker, expressed his own views respecting the future of Mexico. Some of the New Orleans journals go so faras to de clare-that if the Frenehdo not withdraw from Mexico before Christmas there will be Federal intervention on behalf of JUAREZ. The Federal Government would scarcely be rash enough to precipitate matters and provoke a rupture with France, even though such a course would be anything but displeasing to a numerous section. General GRANT and a good many other officers would naturally look with favour on a policy which would open to them a profitable field for energetic action and a road to increased reputa tion and success, and they would of course receive the support of most of those " mustered out" of the different branches of the army. The numerous classes who on one pretext or another derived large profit from the war, the contractors and speculators of various degree, will also be very willing to en courage the notion of another war, while it would open a channel for the superfluous energies of the South, and enable the returned troops and paroled soldiers to forget their grief and disappointment in taking up arms against what they might consider as a national foe. All this could be done on the plea of the MONROE doctrine, which, so far from being hitherto able to carry out, the Americans have not yet been able to establish among themselves. They have had no light work to decide who should rule on a considerable portion of their own dominions. It is scarcely, therefore, an appropriate season for laying down the law to neighbouring States. With all these arguments or inducements in favour of war on the one hand there are, how ever, many restraining influences on the other. To provoke a war with France is a different thing from disputing the possession of Mexican soil with a few irregular troops, and Mr. JOHNSON has shown that he is a temperate and cautious as well as a firm and resolute ruler. The condition of the Federal finances certainly requires peace, and the whole industry of the country cries loudly for a time of repose and restoration before any attempt should be made to indulge in another gigantic struggle. The energies of the country have been severely taxed, and if the natural buoyancy of the people and the wonderful fertility of the soil has enabled them to rise after the crushing weight of four years of civil war, with surprising energy, it is no reason why fresh burdens should be laid on an over-taxed people, why fresh victims should be slaughtered on the battle-field or perish in the hospital—why mourning and desolation should be carried into those homes which death has yet spared. Moreover, a war with France would be a very different thing for the North from its struggle with the Confe deracy. The commerce of the Northern ports, which suffered from the Southern privateers, would feel the force of the French navies far more severely. The Federal iron-clads would have their match in the sea-monsters of Cherbourg. The Northern people were spared in a great measure the horrors of war which they inflicted mercilessly on their countrymen of the South. The tread of invading armies, the ruins of devastated homes, the trampled cornfields, the flaming granaries, are to them but names. Yet m e s ay ou l t e h a e r r n n f s r o t m ate t s h w e h d a e t so s l u at e i h on a of st t n h l e gg f l a e ir eo a s n t d s theyfefertile when waged, not on the battle-field or the sea shore alone, but in the siege, in the march, in the pitiless destruction. Let us hope that these reflec tions will have weight with the Cabinet, the Con gress, and the people. The great Republic of the West is identified with plenty, prosperity, and do mestic comfort. May we not have to associate it with all the burdens and distresses which reckless pursuit of military triumphs has brought about in the Old World. We have much pleasure in stating that Sir Charles Wyke, late Minister in Mexico, has been appointed to represent Great Britain at the Court of gooyer. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TEL E GRA M S.) SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 24. The semi-official Correspondencia de Espana of to-day says :—" According to the statement made by one of our contemporaries yesterday in quoting the English papers, the Spanish Government, in consequence of the attitude taken up by England and France in the Chiliau question, had decided upon recalling its fleet. It cannot be certainly stated that France has assumed a hostile attitude, although certain interests may have been endangered. But if we rely upon very trustworthy information England is at present on the best terms with Spain, and deeply grateful for the useful assistance sent by the Captain-General of Cuba to the Governor of Jamaica to suppress the negro insurrection in that island." The aid above alluded to consisted in the despatch of the schooners Santa Lucia and Guadiana from Cuba. A letter from Havana states that the com manders of these vessels had instructions to offer to the English authorities a reinforcement of Spanish troops to the number of 2,000, which General Dulce had at his disposal. MADRID, Nov. 27. The Minister of Marine has issued a circular, ordering the commanders of Spanish ships to treat as pirates all vessels of which the captain, the offi cers, and the majority of the crew are not Chi Hans, or who may not have received their commissions direct from the Chilian Government. The Politica of to-day says The Progressista manifesto is radically revolutionist and clearly anti dynastic. The adhesion of General Espartero to this manifesto is a soldier's desertion of his Sove- reign." ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 27. The General Correspondenz denies the rumour that England had yielded on all points to the de mands of Austria in reference to the conclusion of the Treaty of Commerce. CROATIA AND HUNGARY. AGRAM, Nov. 27 (Evening). A deputation of the party who desires the union of Croatia and Hungary left to-day for Vienna, to complain of the conduct of the Banns. The members of this deputation are Count Pejachevich Khuen, Herr von Rauch, Hellenbach, Mrazovioch, Ciotta, Zeatarovics, and Ozegovics. The members of the Fusionist party did not ap pear in to-day's sitting of the Diet. THE BOMBAY MAIL. SUEZ, Nov. 26. The Baroda, from Bombay, arrived here at 8 a.m. to-day (Sunday). _ME SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, V NOVEMBER 28, I.E€E. FRANCE. The Courrier du Dimanche has received a first warning for having published in its last number a letter signed Prevost-Paradol, which asserts that " to inflict punishment for inciting to hatred and contempt of the Government is to render all serious discussion of the acts of the Cabinet purely impos sible," and represents the application of the law as necessarily iniquitous. As the carriage of Baron Jules de Lesseps was proceeding along the Rue de la Pepiniere on Satur day afternoon, the horses suddenly becoming un manageable started off at a furious speed, and at last run against another carriage with such violence as to throw their driver from his seat. One of the wheels passed over the man's legs and inflicted rather severe contusions, but did not produce a fracture. The baron, who escaped unhurt, had the man taken home in a hackney carriage. In the amphitheatre of the Sarbonne yesterday took place the ceremony of inaugurating the " Societe des anciens ayes d l'Ecole Polytech nique." A number of eminent personages of the army, members of the Institute, and others who have arrived at high positions in literature and science, were present. M. Vuitry, of the Council of State, presided, and delivered an address, in which he explained the object of the Association, which was to aid former pupils of the Polytechnic School and their families. The members of the directing committee were then appointed, M. Charles of the Institute being named President ; General Faye, Vice-President, and M. Pradelle, Secretary. The proceedings then terminated. Several of the journals remark that, according to the present state of the law, salmon and trout fish ing is interdicted, from the 20th of October to the Ist of January. The new law on fisheries also pro hibits during the same period, under severe penal ties, the conveyance, hawking, sale, or purchase of the same. In the Paris corn-market last week business was rather dull, and quotations in general showed a downward tendency. The four marks of flour fell 25c., to 51fr. 75c., the sack of 157 kilos. ; wheat also declined 50c., to 27fr. the 120 kilos. ; rye ad vanced 25c., to 17fr. 75c. the 115 kilos. ; barley remains unchanged at 17fr. 25c. to 17fr. 75c., and oats at 19fr. 75c. to 20fr. the 100 kilos. At the last cattle-market at Sceaux, the oxen sold at lfr. to lfr. 48c. the kilo. ; cows 88c. to lfr. 28c. ; calves, at Ifr. 20c. to lfr. 65c ; and sheep, at Ifr. 24c. to lfr. 52c. At Poissy, the prices were lfr. Be. to lfr. 45c., 86c. to lfr. 26c., lfr. 24c. to lfr. 66c., and Ifr. 22c. to lfr. 50c. respectively. The rough masonry of the New Opera is advanc ing rapidly. The walls right and left of the stage, those of the theatre and green-rooms, and of the two pavilions which flank the edifice, especially that to the west, which contains the Emperor's entrance, have nearly reached their intended height. The facade is least forward ; its sixteen fluted columns with their Corinthian capitals are already erected, but the entablature is not yet laid on them. BOURSE, Nov. 27.—Two o'Clock.—The prices quoted for carrying over for the approaching settle ment are not heavy ; from 12c. to 15c. are paid on Rente, 2f. 10c. on Spanish Mobilier, and 3f. on Northern Railway Shares. There is a &port on Credit Mobilier Shares of 2f. 50c., and on Saragossa of 50c. .Nevertheless the market is not buoyant, and exhibits a decline on nearly all securities.

By Eliza Cook. Ono Vol., pp. _ _ 192. F. Pitman. A charming volume is this Diamond Dust by Eliza Cook : a volume the thoughts compacted to gether in which are, for all the world, like the flower seeds of Colonel Stodare. For—dropped one by one into the reader's mind, under the momentary screen of a few fluttering leaves of paper--they burgeon and blossom in a twinkling ! Otherwise to express it, they are the fruits, these thoughts, of a most ob servant and appreciative student's gathering— culled from the wide range of a whole literature, and here stored up ripely and rosily for the leisurely enjoyment of others possibly less observant them selves, but, we will hope, not less appreciative than this their self-appointed seneschal or entertainer. It is about the prettiest, the most suggestive, and the least wearisome table-book we can well call to our remembrance. Open it where you will, and some idea worth the having sparkles before you with radiant freshness. Old or new it matters little—the oldest thoughts glittering here as brilliantly as the very newest in these piled-up heaps of diamond dust— the dust, surely, of diamonds of the very first water! Let us give a few specimens of them, picked out almost at random—the tiniest, the minutest of them all, being here, however, selected by preference. Not one of them is there but will be found on examination to have been worth the collecting— some for their wit, some for their refinement, some for their homeliness, some for their whimsicality, all for that thrice-welcome merit of terseness so delightful in an age when the very Govern ment of the Country is carried on by means of a highly-elaborated system of circumlocution. Here then are a few of these new exemplars of brevity being the soul of wit : Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue. Better that the feet slip4han the tongue. Do what you ought and let what will come of it. Life is a moment stolen from eternity. The pillow is a silent sibyl—despise not its oracles. Application is one of the secrets of perfection. He who fears not is to be feared. One to-day is worth two to-morrows. There is no safe path besides that of duty. The best courage is the fear of doing wrong. Reprove others but correct thyself. He is idle who might be better employed. Want of employment is the most irksome of all wants. Either the future or the past is written on every face. We should use a book as a bee does a flower. Where there is no hope there can be no endeavour. Love your friend so as to hate his faults. Crosses are ladders that help us to rise to heaven. A truly good memory is forgetful only of injuries. Life is the hyphen between matter and spirit. Death is simply the soul's change of residence. Take the following, again, and say if they be not treasure-trove, worth the picking up : Our last robe needs no pockets. Errors are good examples. The worst of crosses is never to have had any. Courage is often the fear of being thought a coward. As yet additional flotsam and jetsam, caught astray upon the world's ocean of thought, and here col lected together under the title of " Definitions" take the following Suspense—The toothache of the mind. Grace—Beauty in motion. Happiness—The mirage of life's desert. Sloth—A key to the workhouse. Wine—A generous enemy. Poetry—Thought in full blossom. Time—The great scene-shifter to the world's theatre. Sleep—The fallow state of the mind. Wit—The cayenne of conversation. Prejudice—Opinions without judgment. Genius—The wand of an Enchanter. Self-respect—The noblest garment we can wear. Fame—An imagined life in the breath of others. Echo—The shadow of a sound. Having thus given a few chance specimens of the pearls secreted in this pretty green bivalve of a book, it is only fair to give the poet-author's Pre face to the collection—•preceding her prose Preface, however, as it is here actually preceded in this volume of Diamond Dust, by her poetic Dedication. Thus does Eliza Cook carol forth her dedication in three musical stanzas : I've hoard a dainty feeder wish To find a choice and savoury fish, Formed without scales or bones ; And that some fairy tree would bear . Its luscious peaches—rich and rare— Devoid of rind or stones. Methinks that, fashioned on the same Suggestive thought, this book may claim Some Readers' gratitude ; With " concentration" for its aim— Giving words known to Truth and Fame Stripped of all platitude. And to such Readers I bequeath The buds I've gathered from the wreath That garland's Wisdom's bower ; Praying tint kind, approving eyes, Will play the part of summer skins, And nurse them into flowers. And it is immediately after this that our authoress explains the meaning of her little book in the fol lowing very judicious preliminary observations:— " Writing a preface," she says, " though it may comprise only a few lines, is often a more per plexing task than composing or compiling the whole of the volume to which it is attached. What does a preface usually convey ?—either an apology for presuming to appear in print, with an avowal that the entreaties of private friends have induced the author to face public critics ; or some expla nation which is essential to the right interpretation of the writer's meaning. I cannot avail myself of either of these general preface con stituents, but happily I can say that I am glad to have the opportunity of again greeting my " auld acquaintance," " the people," and of assuring them that my sole inducement to publish this volume is a belief that a selection of so pithy and miscellaneous a character as this work may yield them a degree of the same pleasure in reading that it has afforded me in gathering togther. Most volumes of "Laconics" contain an undue amount of serious and prosy paragraphs—solidly excellent I admit, but in my opi nion rather too heavy and monotonous to stimulate those who open them with any continuous interest in the perusal. I have carefully endeavoured to make the collection tolerably attractive and varied ; and have sought to condense and revise every sen tence culled from the evergreen paths of intellect and imagination ; while the delight I experienced in my labour well compensates for the trouble and application bestowed. Many of the " wise saws and modern instances" are perfectly original, as also are many of the " Defini tions." Doubtless some readers will meet with an opinion or sentiment objectionable to their particu lar taste or judgment. I can only beg them graciously to remember that it is very difficult to entirely please all ; and if in a literary melange of this kind there is a fair amount of prominent truth and racy spirit, perhaps the compiler may venture to lay some claims to merciful extenuation of exceptional errors. My poetry has ever been most kindly received by the public ; and I beg to tell them that if anything like a living gem in rhyme has left my pen, the atoms contained in this " Diamond Dust" have greatly contributed to form it. I can only hope that the same elements of gratification which aided me in compiling this volume may carry their influence to the minds of those who honour me by scanning its contents." A volume so introduced to her world of readers by Eliza Cook herself, is certain of being dearly welcome in many an English homestead—alike in the farm kitchen and in the lady's boudoir, in the country mansion of the squire, in the workshop, and in the cottage—in all those varied scenes and places where her name is loved and honoured as that of a sweet songstress, and of a bright-eyed, true-hearted Englishwoman.

On Saturday, the 11th inst., the Cabinet of M. De ligeorgis resigned, having held office only ten days, and M. Bulgaris is now Prime Minister of Greece. The friends of M. Deligeorgis say that he could not depend on the good offices of Count Sponneck, whose influence was increased by the victory he had obtained in excluding M. Bulgaris from office. A band of politicians, who called themselves the friends of the King, meaning thereby that they could count on Count Sponneck's support, succeeded in forming a coalition of the supporters of Koumoun douros and Bulgaris. M. Deligeorgis, seeing that it would be impossible for him to obtain a Parliamen tary majority, immediately resigned. He acted wisely, for by this unexpected act on the part of a Greek Minister he paralysed Count Sponneck's party, and broke up the coalition. M. Rouphos, respectable country gentleman, was summoned from Patras to form a Ministry, but found it impossible. It appears that the feeling against Count Sponneck is quite as strong at Patras as at Athens, so M. Rouphos advised the King to send for M. Bulgaris, as the only man capable of conducting public affairs in the present excited condition of - public feeling. On Monday evening, therefore, the King sent for M. Bulgaris, informed him that Count Sponneck would leave Athens by the Austrian steamer for Trieste on Saturday, and intrusted him with the task of forming a Ministry. M. Bulgaris declared to his Majesty that the difficulty of forming a strong Government was very much increased by recent events, but he would do everything in his power to serve his Majesty and his country with fidelity. On Sunday last an attempt was made by some of the Athenian demagogues to make a public demon stration against Count Sponneck. A collision took place between the military and the citizens in consequence of the misconduct of the police, and the presence of Colonel Grivas, who showed both prudence and decision on the occasion, alone pre vented serious bloodshed. The departure of Count Sponneck is a subject of almost general satisfaction. The Greeks welcomed him with enthusiasm because they had heard that he was an able financier, and they see that their finan cial affairs require a sound head and a firm hand to save the country from catastrophe. It is possible that Count Sponneck's financial knowledge may be considerable, but he never made any display of it here, and he leaves the finances of Greece in a much worse condition than he found them. Yesterday M. Bulgaris completed the formation of his Cabinet, which is one of coalition, into which several Othonists have been admitted. It is com posed of the following members :—M. Bulgaris, Pre sident of the Council of Ministers, Interior, and (ad interim) War; Gen. Kalergy, who is in Paris, War; M. Kondouriotes, Public Instruction; M. Christo poulos, Foreign Affairs; M. Drossos, Finance; M. Pappamichaelopoulos, Justice; M. Antonopoulos, Marine. People excuse the return to the system of having seven Ministers to do work that could be performed more efficiently by four under the plea that the places were required to reward friends and purchase support. It will now be seen whether M. Bulgaris, with the support of the Othonists, can carry out the reduc tions proposed by M. Koumoundouros, suppress brigandage and jobbing, and reorganise the whole fabric of the executive administration. The task is difficult, but not impracticable, and public opinion has pointed him out most distinctly as the fittest man to make the attempt. A few months will suffice to show whether the army of jobbers and place hun ters can be stopped at the political Rubicon, between what is called order and what is felt to be anarchy. Since the unpunished murder of Pappa Spero, of Marathon, brigandage has made great progress. It is a great political system as well as a social evil in Greece. A few days ago the diligence between Thebes and Chalcis was stopped, and two of the passengers were carried off, for whose ransom £2,000 is demanded. Greek brigands delight in speaking of lirais sterlinais. A party of 17 brigands marched through Vostitza in open day without molestation, though Lingos, their leader, was recognized by seve ral of the inhabitants. Three adventurous young Englishmen have just returned from an interacting tallt in the P.lopon nesus, which has rendered them better acquainted with the actual state of Greece than many of the Greek Ministers, several of the official advisers of the King never having seen so much of their native country. The provincial authorities considered that it was necessary to protect them during the greater part of their journey by the presence of an escort of six gendarmes. They heard of brigands repeatedly, and it was evident that the danger was not imagi nary. It may be very imposing, but it cannot be the most agreeable way of seeing Mycen, Olympia, Phigalia, and Sparta to begin by placing vedettes and then making classic researches revolver in hand. Lord John Hervey, the lion. Mr. Strutt, and Mr. Coore have been more fortunate than Mr. Maleas and his fellow-passenger in the Theban diligence. Had Lingos contrived to dine with them at the ruins of the Phigaleian Temple, they might have had a very heavy bill to pay for very bad accommodation. They visited Ithome with an escort of six gendarmes, but they will require an escort of at least ten to visit Marathon, Platma, and Thermopylae. The Jamaica Outbreak. Yesterday morning a crowded meeting of the citizens of Manchester was held in the Town-hall, having been called by the mayor, in compliance with a memorial signed by 600 of the prominent and leading residents and merchants, " To consider the propriety of memorialising Government to in stitute a searching and impartial investigation into the origin and the circumstances attending the recent outbreak in Jamaica, and the means adopted for its suppression." The Mayor (Mr. Alderman Bowker) presided. Mr. T. B. POTTER, M.P., moved—" That in the opinion of this meeting the circumstances of the late deplorable event in Jamaica are such as to call for an impartial investigation by the Government into the origin of the outbreak, and especially into the legality and necessity of the severe measures adopted for its suppression." The Rev. J. W. CONDER, Baptist minister, seconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. JACOB BRIGHT next moved the adoption of a memorial to Earl Russell, praying for investiga tion into the recent occurrences in Jamaica. Dr. WATTS seconded the motion, which was sup ported by the Rev. S. A. STEINTHALL (Unitarian). The memorial was unanimously adopted. It will be presented to Earl Russell to-day at one o'clock, by a deputation composed of Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P., Mr. Phillips, Rev. J. W. Conder, Rev. S. A. Steinthall, and other gentlemen. Standard Theatre. On Saturday the great French giant Anak the Anakim made his first appearance in this theatre, and met with a reception that must have astonished him, notwithstanding the extraordinary levees he has been holding, and still continues to hold, ac the St. James's Hall. The Giant was accompanied by the whole of the Professor Anderson Lilliputian Company, and nothing could exceed the enthusiasm which the representation of the attractive exhibition caused at this large east-end theatre. The surprise and wonder of the audience at the great Anak was marked and unmistakeable ; but the delight and hilarity of the vast assembly was reserved for the renowned General 'Tom Dot, the mimic captor of the Giant. The little fellow is smaller even than General Toni Thumb, but his pranks and antics move even the mild and serious Anak to laughter. Miss Thorne deserves great praise for the distinct manner in which she repeats her part, and Master Powell, the infant drummer, by his won derful performance,well deserved the loud applause his exertions elicited. Altogether the engagement of Anak seems to be a gigantic success, and if a criterion can be formed of the future career of Anak from his engagement at the Standard Theatre, then our old and valued public entertainer, the Great Wizard of the North, will find he has in the services of the giant of giants a gold mine which we wishhini success in the working. *Jo etrinaL HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, Monday. The Queen, accompanied by her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, drove out this morning, attended by the Hon. Mary Lascelles. Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Princess and Princess Helena also drove out. The Crown Prince of Prussia went out shooting. Mr. G. G. Adams, sculptor, had the honour of submitting for her Majesty's inspection his bust of the late Viscount Palmerston. It is probable that their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia will leave England at the end of the present week. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Colonel the Hon. James Macdonald, left town yesterday on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Bath at Longleate, Wilts. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier, family, and suite, landed at Plymouth on Sunday afternoon from the Spanish frigate Gerona, which has been lying in the Sound during the past week, waiting for a change in the weather to proceed to Spain. Their royal highnesses intend to remain at Plymouth until the weather becomes settled. The Comte de Paris was expected from Twickenham. The Earl and Countes of Dudley have left Albury Park, the Earl of Percy's seat in Surrey, for Paris for a few days. We are requested to state that the beautiful chess worn by the Countess of Dudley at her marriage Was not made originally for the Empress of the French, as stated. The Earl of Dunmore will leave town to-day on a visit to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham. The Countess of Ellesmere arrived in town yes terday Crum visitiu g Lhe Countess Dowager of Ellesmere St Hatchford, Surrey. The Countess (Dowager) Spencer and Lady Sarah Spencer left town yesterday to visit the Duke of Devon shire at Chatsworth. Lord and Lady Cecilia Bingham and a select party have been invited to meet his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge at Longleate, the Marquis of Bath's seat in Wiltshire. It is stated that all the necessary arrangements are in progress to celebrate the marriage of Lord Charles Inns Fier, younger son of the Duke and Duchess of Rox burghe, with Miss Blanche Williams, fourth daughter of Colonel Peers Williams, M.P. for Great Marlow, before the middle of January next. We have to announce the death of Sir John Nel thorpe, Bart., which occurred on Friday last at Scawby . Hall, Lincolnshire. He was in his 52d year. Sir Adam Hay, Miss Hay, and the Hon. Miss Stuart have left Farrance's Hotel for the south of France, for the winter. LORD AND LADY AMBERLEY.—On Friday evening last an accident, which might have proved very seri ous, occurred to Lord and Lady Amberley at Nailsworth. As they were descending a short but steep pitch, on their return to Rodborough Manor-house after a short drive, the horse his lordship was driving suddenly became restive, commenced kicking, and ran away. The wheel of the con veyance coming in contact with some timber lying at the side of the road, it was upset. Lord Amberley soon reco vered himself, but found that, besides being badly bruised, his knee was hurt. He was able, however, to render assist tame, in conjunction with two friends who were on horse back, to Lady Amberley, who lay for some time insensible. As soon as possible after the arrival of Mr. Pavey, surgeon, who was very assiduous in his attentions, she was removed to an adjoining house, and . af ter ascertaining that no bones were broken her ladyship was conveyed home in a fly. The Wedding Trip in the Clouds. -4, A New York correspondent, referring to the re cent extraordinary wedding in the clouds, says " When at the appointed hour the balloon, with its gorgeous bridal car, was ready to ascend, there were thousands upon thousands of people to witness the event. The cheers of the mob were the reverse of complimentary, but then they were 9 loud and reite rated, and 1 suppose the object o f this queer freak, notoriety, was obtained. At any rate the happy pair seemed to think so, as they bowed and waved their hands to the mob. It was at first supposed that the bridal ceremony was peformed in the car, when at some 2,000 feet above the earth ; but it appears from subsequent accounts that the marriage took place at the Fifth Avenue Hotel after the de scent of the bride and bridegroom, who merely went up in the balloon to sign the following marriage contract, which was published the next day i n the journals Sacred compact of holy matrimony, solemnised above the clouds, floating in mid-air, within the jurisdiction and in accordance with the laws of the Empire State, this Bth day of Novem ber, A.D. 1865. Presenting ourselves, fullyimpressed with the sublime presence of God and the joyous spiritual beings of His creation, heartily appreciat ing Heaven's highest vouchsafed happiness, the blessed union of two souls in purity and glowing love, emanating from the eternal fountain of truth and wisdom, hence deriving some primitive concep tion of the magnitude of Deity-inspired unceasing humanity, endowed with powers and attributes evermore approximating divinity, with assurances that uninterrupted progress remains dependent upon genial social relations, and possessing the approving sanction of cherished friends :—We, the contracting parties, John F. Boynton, M.D., of the city of Syracuse, State of New York, and Mary West Jenkins, of the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, do now henceforth evermore give and de vote ourselves each unto the other, and accept and receive each other in holy wedlock; and we solemnly and unreservedly avow and promise that we will love, honour, and cherish each other as husband and wife during our whole existence ; and in the expressive language of Holy Writ, we hopefully pray, What God hath joined together let no man put asunder.' Witness : T. De Witt Talmage, Susie H. Boynton, J. S. C. Lowe." The Reduction in the Bank Rate of Discount There can be no doubt that, after the sudden and unexpected increase in their resources, the Bank of England were quite justified in reducing their rat° i of discount. No;one contests it, and therefore it s needless to argue it. It is more useful to correct over-sanguine anticipations which natural but mis taken parallels suggest. There is a great difference between this year and last. Last year at this time industry and trade underwent a signal diminution. The credit of the country was not radically hurt ; there was no panic ; but, nevertheless, credit ivas revised. A good many people who used bofore to enjoy excellent credit afterwards only enjoyed mo derate credit, and some got altogether out of credit. There was a period of suspense last ye ar i n me rcau tile operations analogous to, though less than, th e great periods cf languo r a ft er 1847 an d 1857. 1 311 " there is no reason this year to expect any lull or any cessation. Credit has not even been talked of ; con versation in such matters, the beginning of evils, has not begun. The trade of the country was a little checked, and wisely checked, by the great rise 1 0 the value of money ; it only waits cheaper money t ° restore its full activity, and that readiness for buss' ness is the greatest antagonist of cheap money. 2aiy, there is great danger in drawing a close analogy be tween the present times and times even recently past. The capital of the country goes abroad novc r much sooner than it did formerly. It goes int ° , trade now much more easily and quickly than it di d formerly, and therefore that capital is much mor e closely used up. We must be very cautious th e refore of expecting cheap capital w hen our surplus stoc i lc is very small, and th e d em a n d s upo n it are very sn u ; den and very great. Whether the Bank of Frall.e, was wise in reducing its rate so readily may we think, of question ; and in addition to the de_ mands on our capital:which we have indicated, the re will certainly be a demand of some magnitude , though how great is uncertain, for bullion to p a y for cotton. On this account we must caution o ur readers against the sanguine predictions of cheap money which are in the mouths of many, and Whi' d the late influx into both the Bank of England that of France has naturally suggested.—Econwos' VOLUNTEER LIFE BRIGADES.—On Saturday after noon, Captain Robertson, RN., inspected the Tv:len7ool Volunteer Life Brigade, the first established in the king' dom for saving life from shipwreck. There was ft CaP it4- muster of all classes, clergymen, magistrates, aldernle3l merchants, and workmen who are volunteers in t he corl)9, and the rocket practice was splendid. Captain Roberts ° , 13 spoke highly of the progress that the brigade had wtwci° since he last inspected them, and he said that the 13°1. f of Trade was about to issue circulars to the authorities ov all the seaport towns in the United Kingdom, with 3 I : l ,rf to have volunteer life brigades established on all par e ha i the coast. Mr. G. 0. Trevelyan expresse d the Pr" thiS felt in seeing all classes of his constituents enrolled n 010 noble brigade. He spoke highly of the efficieEt c Y O E I corps under drill. He said that he, like most y oue„ t lishmen, was vastly fond of cricket, w hi c h broughnu Y gether all classes, but iu its tendency to de velo p ° the T% ,u qualities of the race this movement was e ven better t" cricket.
