HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. Tins DAY. -- 3 , l(srning, 28m.—Afternoon, Bh. sm. Yo-Mottnow.-Moraing, Bh. 45m.—Afternoon, 9h. 25m. Sum ~~~' ~~,~ LONDON, WEDNESDAY, (;CT. 31, 1866. Mr. BRIGHT thinks thinks that he is bound to distribute his favours in an equal manner, and ac cordingly, having honoured the meetings of Eng land and Scotland, he has now gone to Ireland to allow the sister kingdom to have the benefit of his eloquence. We see very little difference in his speeches, however, whether they are delivered to English, Scotch, or Irish audiences. There is always the same spirit of contention manifested, the same hatred and contempt for the powers that be, the same sympathy expressed for the wrongs, real or imaginary as the case may be, of the people whose cause he professes to advo cate. His speech of yesterday, however, is more calculated to give rise to regret than those he has uttered on previous occasions among a dif ferent auditory, because it is always a pity to address an Irish audience after his fashion, and this year more especially it is most in considerate on the part of Mr. BRIGHT to do so. It would not have been expecting too much that he should be content to forego indulging in his most vehement strain ; but as it is, we really do not see how he could have said more or gone further, unless he had counselled his hearers actually to rise in rebellion. A3cording to his showing, they have every grievance under the sun to complain of, and after having endured oppression and tyranny in every form, they have now the misfortune to be placed under the rule of a party most inimical to their progress and prosperity. Mr. BRIGHT is very fond of talking about progress, but his acts belie his Professions, and if we ransacked the archives of past u aYa we should find that the most bitter partisan orators that ever thundered forth to the edification of an earlier generation are (rite equalled in bitter ness an d by these fanatic ebullitions in which lie is continually indulging. Right and wrong get hopelessly confused in the tangled skein of hi s dis course, until w e l ose the sense of the real injustice that may exist in any particular he alludes to, in the feeling of indignation that naturally arises when so distorts and misrepresents thin gs , Thus, when he dilat es upon the .manyorkeci crimes and w errors of the Tory party as h av i ng all the mischief and misery that has arisen in Ireland, he chores to forget the long period of years during which those whom he calls his own party have been in office. But what can we expect when Mr. BRIGHT so far forgets himself as to bec ome the champion of Fenianism. We really did not think that even his blind infatuation and extreme prejudice would have gone so far; but we arc told that it is owing to the principles of the Tory party having been carried out in Ireland that " the kingdom has been continually weakened, that harmony has been disturbed, and that the chief has spread to the most remote colonies of the empire; in fact, the Government of Lord DERBY is at this moment doing exactly what the Government of Lord NORTH did nearly 100 years ago : it is seen sending troops across the Atlantic to fight Irishmen, who are bitter enemies of England, on the American continent." The conclusion he draws from this is that the law is bad and the people good. Nothing can justify a public man talking in this strain ; it is alike dishonest and dishonourable. But let us mark how inconsistent Mr. BRIGHT can be, for he leaves out what he pleases, and only comments upon what he dislikes. Of course Lord DERBY is to take all the blame of putting down an attempt at rebellion which did not originate during his Ministry, but not a word is said about the energetic measures taken by the American Go vernment to suppress the Fenian movement. It redounds to their honour that they should do so, but why is it not recorded here In an eloquent passage Mr. BRIGHT refers to the feelings of devotion entertained by the Irish for America, and declares that he does not wonder at it. " You will recollect that the ancient Hebrew in his captivity had his windows open towards Jerusalem when he prayed : you know that the follower of MAHOMED when he prays turns his face towards Mecca ; and the Irish peasant, when he asks for food, and freedom, and blessings, his eye follows the setting sun. The aspiration of his heart reaches beyond the wide Atlantic, and in spirit he grasps hands with the great Republic of the West." It is the best proof that the man who is discontented and repining in one place will not settle in another, that the disaffected spirit and agitating race of the Irish should have found vent in plots and conspiracies when they had nothing to irritate them any longer. Mr. BRIGHT had better be silent just now about the connection between the Irish and Americans. It is of that character which all true patriots and right-minded citizens of other States abhor and condemn. Mr. BRIGHT, of course, knows every one's business better than they do them selves, and takes Sir HUGH CAIRNS to task for the tenour of his speech the other day at Belfast— " there was much said of the enforcement of the law, but there is nothing said about any change or amendment of the law." " With the English party," he declares that terror is the only specific, and they have no confidence in allegiance except where there is no ability to rebel. Sir HUGH CAIRNS took a more elevated view of things, when ho said that a just and generous policy towards Ireland was nowadays obtaining favour in England, and that prejudices and national jealousies were fast disappearing. Mr. BRIGHT considers otherwise, however, and declares that at the root of all discontent there must be a grievance, and quotes some fine lines of the greatest of Italian poets descriptive of a vision h 3 saw on the Stygian Lake as illustrating the state of Ireland for gene- rations ; " This, too, for certain, know that underneath The waters dwells a multitude, whose sighs Into these bubbles make the surface heave, As thine eye tells thee, wheresoe'er it turns." Fine language and powerful expressions may impress for a time, but something more is required when a man who calls himself a states man addresses a great nation in the centre of her capital. We hear of wrongs, but nothing of the spirit which should endure and rise above the temptation to rebel against the law. There is nothing to admire in the lawless de meanour of the Fenians, and the more Mr. 131:IGHT thinks them the exponents of their coun try's wrongs the more injustice he does to the Irish nation, and the more injury to his own reputation as a far-seeing statesman. " Ireland is a country of many wrongs and many sorrows," he declares—but the one will not be remedied nor the other alleviated by having recourse to vio lence, and the sooner this great truth is recognised the better. Above all, it is most blameable to incite those who are already irritated and excited, to con tempt of existing authority ; and the worst of all the outbreaks and disturbances that arise is that they hinder and retard the spread of improvement, cause the lovers of justice and order to look with doubt and apprehension upon any change being made, however much the spirit of the country may demand and desire it. Ireland is deserving of better things than to be a land of plotters ; and AIr.BRIGHT pays no compliment to the Irish people when he seems to think that they are all animated by a spirit of towards England. The catastrophe which has lately occurred off the coasts of America is one of the most startling and terrible in the records of naval disaster. It is not many months since the loss of the London filled this country with consternation, and cast a gloom over the busy community of our Australian colonies. But the loss of the London, though heart-thrilling and mournful in the extreme, did not possess the elements that invest the loss of the Evening Star with such especial horror. The passengers had full warning of their fate. For two or three days and nights the danger had been culminating, until at last those who had any experience in sea voyages knew what the end must be before Captain MARTIN told them that all hope was over. Terrible though the cir cumstances of such a catastrophe must always be, there was nothing in the freight or company of the London to add bitterness to the closing scene. There was mourni ng and lamentation, no doubt, mothers weeping over their children, and friends grieving for the sorrow of those far away whom they were never to see again ; but there was prayer, resignation, and fortitude, manly courage and womanly patience, and the alarm and agitation which were manifested we re no more than was natural to frail human nature when so suddenly summoned to its final scene. Indeed we have the unanimous testimony of the survivors that when Captain MAR TIN entered the cabin and told the passengers assem bled there that all hope for this world was over, the intelligence, whether from exhaustion or resigna tion, was received with calmness. The spectacle on board the Evening Star was painfully different. Th e m otley company which it carried were only fitted for the gaieties and vanities of life, and seemed sadly unequal to cope witht r he c a h erwofpula realities of such a time. There wa s a Fen com pany on board, and a negro minstrel amongelt roup thee.rl lere was also a large number of females pas sengers, for a hundred unfortunate women were fol lowing the fashion, and journeying from New York to New Orleans. Upon such a group we may ima gine the terrible effect of the intelligence that the days of vice and gaiety were over for ever, and that the day of reckoning was at hand. It reminds us of the scene in " Lucrezia Borgia," where the sound of the tolling bell breaks in on the gay carols of the revellers. It was not to be expected that such a company would show the calmness and presence of mind which characterised the passengers of the London, but the end came to bothalike, and the great ship, with her crowded decks, went down into the dark waters, leaving only a few sur vivors to reach, after enduring the most fearful hard ships, the distant coast of Florida. pre can never hope to hear the last of these great oceans maritime t oa traverse disasters. erse So l ong as there are great and dangerous coasts to be passed by, so long as there are hurricanes and tempests, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1866 reefs and shoals, we shall have catastrophes that are beyond human control. Seafaring men and women must take their risk of these, even as they are often obliged to encounter the chances of death and danger on the land. But it is too true that very often these great disasters owe their origin to want of care, of forethought, of moderate precautions, and are traceable either to wilful neglect or inexcusable indifference. In the case of the London there was too much reason to fear that the overloading of the vessel had some thing to do with her misfortunes, but in the in stance of the unhappy Evening Star there is no room for doubt or conjecture. Six months ago, we are told, the vessel was condemned as . unsea worthy, and yet she is allowed to leave New York for a voyage through waters known to be liable to sudden and violent tempests ! The rising of the first fresh breeze tried the ship severely, and no sooner did the hurricane make itself felt than the whole ship broke to pieces. The wheel houses were washed. off, the bulwarks stove in, the rudder chains snapped, the engines disabled ; yet the sud den uprising of a hurricane is no uncommon thing in these seas. A river steamer could scarcely have failed more completely in an ocean voyage. We fear that in America, as too often in England, mercantile cupidity is allowed to supersede every better feeling, and the greed for money is only exceeded by the recklessness of human life which it entails. We talk of ambitious kings and aggres sive diplomatists being wholesale murderers, and it is the fashion nowadays to reckon military heroes as assassins on a large scale ; but what are we to say of the contractors and the shipowners through whose cupidity and whose recklessness a whole host of miserable beings are sent without warning to a premature and unwelcome grave. In the interests of common justice and humanity, as well as for the good of the mercantile community, we hope that the authorities at New York will institute a strin gent inquiry into the fact of a ship condemned as unseaworthy being crowded with passengers and sent to sea. The breaking up of the Mansion House Relief Committee may be regarded by the public as a favourable sign, since we may be sure that the gen tlemen composing it would not cease from their labours unless they bad good reason to believe the necessity for their labours had in a great measure passed away. There is indeed ground for hoping that we have seen the worst of the cholera visitation of 1866 ; and, although in respect to a matter which defies human prescience, and frequently overturns the most elaborate systems, it would be presump- tuous to reckon on further immunity from the disease, yet we may fairly hope that, with constant care and rigid supervision, we shall be able to reduce the danger of its return within the narrowest possible limits. The diminution in the number of deaths, both from cholera and diarrhoea, has of late been steady. When the Registrar-General, a short time since, discontinued the issue of the daily returns, some un easiness was felt because the number of deaths im mediately rose, very probably in consequence of relaxed stringency in sanitary precautions. It was generally decided that it would be the wiser course to resume the issue, but after a gradual decrease the return for last Saturday only gives us 21 deaths from cholera and 1 from diarrhoea. The disease is therefore, as the opening sentences of the report of the committee remind us, reduced within the dimensions of an ordinary epidemic, and the funds placed at the disposal of these gen tlemen by the liberality of the public having been exhausted, they consider that the time has arrived to lay before the public an account of the money entrusted to them and a general report of their proceedings. The emergency which called them into action having, as they hope and believe, passed away, and the money entrusted to their care well and wisely laid out, the committee held their final meeting on Monday, when the official report, under the hand of the LORD MAYOR, was read and presented to the meeting. It was a matter of regret that the LORD MAYOR himself (Mr. Alderman PHILLIPS) was prevented by illness from presiding. His lordship has been so indefatigable in his arduous labours, and has shown so much sound sense, good feeling, and enlightened judgment in his opinions on many of the social pro blems brought under the notice of the com mittee, that very much of the success which under Providence has crowned their efforts may justly be attributed to his personal service. To all the gentlemen composing the committee indeed the public are largely indebted. They came forward at a time of alarm and apprehension, when every one felt the necessity of prompt and systematic efforts to relieve the misery in the east of London and to diminish the danger to the other parts of the metro polis, but when there was no general and wide spread organisation to combat the disease. At a considerable sacrifice of time and labour they de voted themselves daily to the consideration of the claims for aid, and by their excellent regulations, their punctuality and readiness in dealing with appeals for aid, and their liberality and promp titude in dealing with them they effected the greatest possible good, and restored confidence in place of panic. Of course their efforts would have been much less serviceable without two aids—the liberality of the public on the one hand, and the noble exertions of the local committees on the other; but the Mansion House Committee proved them selves wise and faithful stewards of the one, and so encouraged the flow of subscriptions, and they were mainly instrumental in calling the other into exist ence. They could not, indeed, animate those who were living in the very midst of the danger to endure the hardships and encounter the perils which they braved ; they could not inspire them with the self-devotion, the fortitude, the unwearied charity with which men of all ranks and all denominations worked heartily together ; but they could, and did, discourage the smallest approach to a spirit of narrowness or intolerance, and they were urgent in recommending caution as well as liberality in the disbursement of the public money, a careful examination into claims for assistance, as well as ready aid if proved. f r l n l e h d e , r 1 e a t h r ley A in la t n n s e ion n - 10 1- n lo th use cf Co A m u m gn it s t t e , e t w he as first want in the cholera districts, says the report, was local organisation to grapp l e w i t h t h e di sease. , f o t therefore, ore toadministration c reate localo of com r T m l i i t e t i e r es firs , t , n c o ar t e o w nl a y s but also for a house-to-horse visitation, and for the , application of precautionar:i and remedial measures." They were also very anxious that the fund en trusted to them for the pm -pose of mitigating the distress occasioned by choi era should not be di verted to purposes of genera 1 relief, so that they laid down from the first the principle that " the funds placed at the disposal of this committee shall be applied only to the prevention of cholera, to the relief of cholera patients, and of sufferers from the effects of that clisease, and that all grants shall be administered as far as possible through local committees." '_Co this principle thus laid down they have rigidly Idhered, and to this they attribute much of their si recess. No less than 92 local committees and instit' ltions have been in communication with the central. committee, and the report warmly applauds thpir labours and their sacrifices. To these local boards, and to hospitals and dispensaries 191 grants have been made, amounting to between £9,000 and £lO,OOO. In every instance it was stipulated that the money should be applied exclusively to cholera purposes, and the committee required an undertaking to that effect. The claims of the children left orphans by the epidemic were soon brought under notice, and formed, indeed, an important item in the duties of the administrators, both of this fund and of the Metropolitan Relief association. Great care was exercised in supervising and reducing the lists sent in, and the names of all children who had relatives able to support them, or whose fathers were still living and not permanently disabled, were excluded. Orphans above the age of 15 were also struck off, and those children whose parents had been in the habit of receiving parochial relief, since it was felt that they might fairly come upon the rates. It gives a startling idea of the cholera's ravages to find that after all this careful reduction of the claims, 710 orphans have been assisted out of the Mansion-house fund, besides more than 600 relieved by the Metropolitan Asso ciation. This part of the relief made a heavy claim on the funds in hand, the total cost for cholera orphans being £6,570. This money was not care lessly given, but a detailed scheme was required from each local committee of the manner in which they intended to apply it for the benefit of each child, and a written undertaking, so to apply it, was also required, from persons competent to act as trustees. Destitute widows to the number of 277 were also permanently assisted, at a cost of £541. A special sum of £2,000 was also set aside for the benefit of convalescents. The importance of assisting those of the industrial classes who were recovering from the disease until well enough to work in compara tive comfort was strongly felt by all who investi gated the matter, and large sums were also em ployed for this purpose by the local boards. Many excellent institutions for the temporary relief of cholera convalescents have been organised by ladies like Mrs. TAIT, Mrs. GLADSTONE, Miss TWINING, and Miss MARsH, whose names are always foremost in practical good works, and we may well believe that their united efforts have dole much to lessen the danger that at one time prevailed that an epidemic of typhus would follow on the steps of cholera. The returns from 56 local committees and from 46 hospitals and dispensaries do not include all the cases in the larger hospitals, and are not brought down to the present date. The committee therefore regard them as totally inade quate. Nevertheless the numbers are by no means insignificant, since they include 10,424 attacked with cholera, and 68,975 with diarrhoea ; of these 4,396 died from cholera, and 646 from diarrhoea. These figures are evidently very incomplete, and are entirely made up in the east and north-east. It is satisfactory to know that English benevolence did not fail in its wonted work ; but that, considering the various channels through which the contributions flowed, the committee estimate £70,000 below the mark. Nevertheless, there is work to be done for which all the resources of private charity are inadequate, and the committee call attention to the fact that " there are sanitary and remedial measures essential to the repression of epidemic diseases which can only be effected by persons in authority through public funds; and that in poor districts, already rated to the utmost amount which the inhabitants are able to bear, it becomes almost impossible for the local authorities to raise additional funds to meet an extraordinary emergency." Two great evils stare the Reformer in the face, and to these cholera owes half its power. The first is the in sufficiency and impurity of our water supply, and this we may hope will henceforward be vigorously grappled with. The other, and the greater of the two, is declared by the committee to be wholly un touched by their efforts. They describe it as " the wretched sanitary and social condition of a vast number of our labouring classes, and especially the filthy, dilapidated, and over-crowded dwellings in which many of them are compelled to reside." This is attributable to many causes, some of them beyond the control of the poor, others due to their own bad habits ; but, whatever its origin, it is an evil which no wise man, no lover of his kind and of his country, will consent to overlook. The Mansion House Committee but re-echo the warning which has again and again been uttered from press, and pulpit, and platform—repeated wherever earnest and thinking men have met together to discuss the signs of the times, when they say, "Of all the matters which affect the peace and prosperity of this nation, there is not one more full of danger, or which more urgently needs reformation, than the sanitary and social condition of the poor in London and in great towns." Such is the word of warning with which these public spirited gentlemen retire from their labours. Let us hope that it will not pass by unheeded, but that the next session of our Legislature may see fac tion silenced and political controversy laid aside for a time, while men of all professions and all parties unite in devoting their earnest and practical atten tion to an evil which can no longer be safely left unchecked, but which threatens to assume such formidable proportions that it will render fruit less and profitless every other reform, moral, legal, or political. BRO3IPTON CONSUMPTION HOSPITAL.-011 Sunday sermons were preached at St. Paul's, South Kensington, in aid of the funds of the Consumption Hospital, Brompton, immediately adjoining. The Rev. Capel Molyneux, the incumbent, preached in the morning from St. Luke, chap. xiv., 12th, 13th, and 14th verses. " Then said ho also to him that bade him, 'When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kins men, nor thy rich neighbours, lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, and thou shalt bo blessed ; for they cannot recompense thee ; for thou shalt bo recompensed at the resurrection of the just." After an earnest and practical discourse on the subject of beneficence and Christian hospitality in its highest sense, the preacher strongly urged his congregation again to give their help freely and abundantly to the Con sumption Hospital, whose objects needed no explanation. The amount of good done by means of this charity in the last 25 years was almost incalculable. Since the opening of the first portion of the new building in 181 E the number of in-patients who had received treatment was 13,298, and of out 90,688 ; each of these patients having been under medical care for a period varying from a few weeks to several months, and in many instances with successful results. The great addition to the number of patients, through the enlargement of the bu ildin g a few y ears a g o, which provided accommodation for 211 in-patients, in creased the expenditure to upwards of £lO,OOO a year. The annual subscriptions amounted to little more than half that sum ; and the charity had still to look to the voluntary contributions of the benevolent for support. The collection in the morning amounted to £9l 3s. 4d. The Rev. Cosmo R. G n-don preached the sermon in the evening, when the claims of the charity were again warmly advocated. The sum of £2O 4s. ld. was collecte d after the service. NEW STREETS IN THE CITY OF LONDON BY THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAlLWAY.—Yes terday the "fourth" Act of Parliament connected with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, obtained in the late session, was issued. It authorises the company to en large the Ludgate Station, by making two new streets and altering another street, and to take part of the property of Apothecaries' Hall, in which the society have carried on business for two centuries. The now streets are to be in Union-street, Earl-street, and Church -entry. The City Commissioners are to act with the company as to the land taken, and among the improvements contemplated is to widen Ludgate-hill. The corporation may contribute towards the expenses, and may agree with the railway company as to the alterations. The money of the com pany is to be taken out of the City lines, and four years is the period limited for the completion of the new streets and altering the other street. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening. There being nothing of importance from Ger many or Italy to-day the papers direct their atten tion to the insurrection in Crete, respecting which some very contradictory reports have been in circu- Lation. It has been stated that the insurrection was entirely suppressed. On the other hand, however, the Independance Belge, a Brussels paper, publishes a private despatch from Constantinople, which states that the insurgents had been completely successful a great battle which had lasted three days. A letter from Dresden, dated October 23, says IBA the model of the needle cannon recently manu ractured had satisfactorily sustained the proofs to which it had been subjected, and that various States of Germany had given orders for experiments on a grand scale with this arm, which was likely to effect a complete revolution in artillery. The Emperor has just afforded another and very striking proof of his solicitude for the working classes. Representations having been made to his Majesty of the unfavourable state of the silk trade at Lyons, his Majesty has not only sanctioned the establishment of a co-operative society for the relief of the silk weavers, but he has lent it 300,000 f. to promote its operations. This offer is announced in an admirable letter from the Marquis de la Valette to the Prefect of the Department of the Rhone. The delegates of the silk weavers, in reply to this considerate and enlightened step in aid of " honest labour," sent a letter of thanks and gratitude to the Emperor, the Minister of the Interior, and the Pre fect. They express their deep sense of the many proofs of the Emperor's sympathy for the working classes. It should be added that his Majesty gives them munificent assistance also from his private purse. The Salut Public, of Lyons, in remarking upon this great manifestation on behalf of the working classes, says :—" All the world has for a long time known the solicitude of the Emperor for everything con nected with the interests of the working classes, but upon the present occasion that solicitude has been manifested so spontaneously and so generously as to be almost unparalleled and exceptional." A first warning has been given to the journal La Liberte, edited by Mr. Emile Girardin, for an article " considered as a systematic distortion of the policy of the Government and a violent attack against constitutional institutions." The Government is considered to have been too long lenient towards La Liberte (quite a misnomer as rcgaris that jour nal), whose vulgar attacks and misrepresentations have often excited the disgust of the most advanced Liberals. John Bright has done a good deal in this line in England, but Emile de Girardin out-Herods him. The Augsburg Gazette states that the basis of the reorganisation of the Bavarian army is, with a few exceptions, framed upon the Prussian system of a general compulsion for military service, and that arrangements upon this principle are under consi deration at the War-office at Munich. The weather on Sunday was so very disagreeable that the autumn meeting at Vincennes attracted very few visitors. Nevertheless the racing was ex cellent. The Prix des Haras (second category) was won by l'Homme entre Deux Ages. The Prix du Polygone (Military Steeplechase) 3,000f.,was won by Pineapple. Grand Autumn Prize—the prize of the city of Paris,'lo,ooof.—was won by Mario. The Prix de Consolation (Handicap), 2,000 f., was won by Harriett Watts. Next Sunday will be the close of the regattas of the Rowing Club on the Seine near the Pont de la Concorde. The following is the result of the matches last Sunday at Asnieres :—Prix du Cercle (one rower), Hirondelle ; Prix d'Asnieres, for gigs (two rowers), Iris ; principal prize for gigs with four rowers, Saphir ; Prize of the Society of Parisian Regattas, for gigs with six rowers, Stradella. A supplementary skiff race was won by Perseverance. The Almanack de la illusique just published, which professes to give an account of the progress of music during the past year, states that the sum of 735,000 f. is annually shared among fourteen artistes of the Grand Opera. The highest amount, 110,000 f., is paid to M. Naudin. It will astonish some to know that original operas of high repute have been produced in the French provinces—for instance, at Bordeaux, Lille, Metz, Lyons, and Luneville. There are 18 journals specially devoted to music published at Paris :—" Le Minstrel," " Revue et Gazette Musicale de Paris," "La France Musicale," "La Presse Musicale," " L'Orpheon," "La Reforme Musicale," " I'Art Musicale," " L'Echo des Orpheons," "La France Chorale," " Revue de Musique Sacree," " L'Union Chorale de Paris," "La Musique Populaire," "La Chronique Musicale," "La Semaine Musicale," " L'Avenir Musicale," " La Petit Pianiste," " Le Moniteur des Pianiste," and " L'lllustration Musicale." Independently of operas composed in France, there were produced during the year " Catarina Howard," by Cencetti, at Rome ; " I Due Mariti," by Spadetti, at Naples ; at Florence, " Veronica Cybo," by Meiners; at Venice, " Mazeppa," by Pedrotti ; at Lodi, " Sofia," by La Signora Car lotta Ferrari ; at Naples, " Virginia," a serious opera, in five acts, by Mercadaute. Verdi, occupied with his " Don Carlos," has not written anything for Italy this year. The following are the operas which have been played more than a hundredtimes :—" L'Africaine," " La Muette," " Robert le Diable," " Le Comte Ory," "Aladin," "Le Huguenots," " Le Rossignol," " Gustave III.," " Guillaume Tell," "La Juive," "Le Trouere," "Lucie de Lammermoor," "Le Philtre," " Trajan, " "La Favorite, " " Les Bayaderes," "La Vestale," " Moise," "Le Siege de Corinthe," " La Reine de Chypre,' and " Fer nand Cortez.". The editor of a literary journal, where books are sold, says that a provincial went into the shop the other day, and in his dialect asked for a dictionary. "What dictionary do yod want ?" said the clerk. " Eh-oh ; the first that comes to. hand. What is that to you ?" " But what size and shape ?" "In the shape of a book, to be sure. Come, will you give me a pocket dictionary or not?" "By what author do you want the dictionary ?" " I don't want it a yard and a half long, as I ask you for a pocket dictionary." There now lives at Reims a man named Frangois Gerard,who, on the 20th inst., accomplished his 102 d year. He was born on the 20th October, 1764, near Verviers, Belgium, where he was a cloth manufac turer. Ruined by selling cloth, for which he was paid in assignats, he went to Reims, where he worked as a weaver until within a year or two ago. For more than 40 years he has not had the slightest illness. He has no infirmity, and possesses all his faculties. He goes to the church of St. Remi every day, and often takes a walk on the banks of the canal. He is upright, and walks with firm step. The Sport tells an amusing anecdote respecting the purchase of a horse by a member of the Jockey Club. The horse-dealer, as usual, vaunted the virtues and good qualities of the horse, but said the best way would be for the gentleman to try him. The gentleman accordingly rode him to the Bois de Boulogne. The animal went beautifully, and gave great satisfaction. The rider stopped on the other side of the wood to take lunch. On his return he could not get the animal to gallop, trot, or do any thing else. The gentleman went to the horse dealer and told him that the animal would not suit him. It was all very well to have a horse that would go out, but he wanted one which would come back again also. " Allow me," said the dealer. " I lent you a horse, but you have brought me back a mare." So it proved. The horse had been put up in a stable, but the gentleman was in a hurry to get back, and the hostler, mistaking the stall, had saddled a mare. The real horse was sought for and tried again, and gave such satisfaction that the bargain was concluded at a lon g price. The weather is again unsettled, and a very cold wind has prevailed all day. SERVANTS' WAGES AT CANTERBURY,---The wages for married couples engaged at the barracks averaged £7O ; for single men, from £35 to £6O; and for single women, from £l5 to £35, the former rate being for a nurse girl. One supprior cook was engaged on board the vessel at Lyttelton for £52. The single women who went to the barracks were all engaged within three days after arrival. —New Zealand Examiner. L A TEST INTEL LIG-ENUE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ROME AND ITALY. ALLOCUTION OF TILE POPE ROME, Oct. 30. The Pope has distributed to the cardinals two allocutions delivered by his Holiness in the consis tory held yesterday. In the first the Pope deplores the persecutions of the Church by the Italian Government, the sup pression of the religious orders, the secularisation of the ecclesiastical property, and the law of civil mar riage. All these acts he condemns, and declares to be null and ♦oid, and repeats the censures of the Church against their authors. Nevertheless, his Holiness declares he accords his benediction to Italy. The Pope further protests against the invasion and usurpation of the Pontifical provinces, and against the revolutionary project of making Rome the capi tal of the new kingdom. He states that the tem poral power is indispensable to the independence of the spiritual power, and declares that he is ready even to suffer death for the maintenance of the sacred rights of the Holy See, and, if necessary, to seek in another country the requisite security for the better exercise of his Apostolic Ministry. Finally his Holiness prays that Italy may repent of the evils which she has brought upon the Church. In the second allocution his Holiness states that the Russian Government has violated the Concordat of 1848, and recalls the persecutions exercised against the Archbishop of Warsaw, the suppression in the dioceses of bishops of their legitimate juris diction, the abolition of religious orders in Poland, the confiscation of ecclesiastical property—all acts tending to the destruction of Catholicism in Russia. His Holiness concludes by offering up a prayer that the Czar may put an end to the persecutions of Catholics within the Russian dominions. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Oct. 31.

MARK LAM,. At Mark-lane to-day the quantity of home-grown wheat offered for disposal, although only moderate, was sufficient to ss.tisfy the immediate want of millers. The demand generally was quiet, but Monday's quotations were well supported. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, the transac tions in which were on a limited scale, but at prices quite equal to those quoted on Monday. In floating cargoes of grain, sales progressed steadily, at the late advance in prices. Fine malting barley was scarce, and was mostly dis posed of at extreme quotations. Grinding and distilling sorts were in limited request, at late rates. Malt was firm, on former terms. For oats there was fair inquiry, and fine qualities changed hands, at tho late advance. Other kinds were unaltered in value. Beans and peas were firm in price, but the demand for them was by no means active. Flour was steady at late rates. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

The directors reported the present affairs of the bank as much more favourable than was anticipated a few months ago, the capital still intact amounting to upwards of £250,000. A vote of thanks was passed to the directors, who wore empowered to present to a future meeting a list of persons whose shares had been forfeited under circum.. stances which would justify the directors in dealing with them in a spirit of conciliation and generosity. THEFT OF £5OO FROM THE BANK OF ENGLAND. At , the Plymouth Guildhall, on Monday, a respectably dressed young man, named James Lord, was charged under a warrant with stealing £5OO, the property of the gover nors of the Bank of England, from the West-end branch of that bank. Henry Dawson, a London detective, iden tified the signature of the Marlborough-street magistrate who granted the warrant, and the prisoner was handed over to his custody. On the theft becoming known it was discovered that the prisoner had absconded, and informa tion was given to the Plymouth police. Detective Ser geant Dawe, of that force, on Saturday found the prisotier at the Navy Hotel, Southside-street, Plymouth, and, iden tifying him from a carte de visite which had been for warded, took him in charge ; £l5O of the money had been recovered. The prisoner was intending to sail in soma ship when Davie apprehended him. es;il /7 ,v , /A i. lc_ Cara , etrilligar HER MAJESTY• BALMORAL, Monday.
