Um T )-Moßßow.-Morning, 6h. 25m.—Afternoon, 6h. 56m LONDON, SA7URDAY, OCT. 19, 1867. Mr. COLERIDGE has been addressing his con stituents at Exeter, and giving them an opinion on public matters, and gave a detailed account of some particulars in the political world. He commenced by speaking more plainly than politely of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. "No earthly considera tion," he said, " could induce him to lend his voice to join in that course of indiscriminate panegyric which had been poured of late from both sides of the House upon that eminent man." This is cer tainly an exception to the rule, for Mr. DISRAELI has been the theme of general approval of late, and it is well that it should be so, for there is little profit in renewing the scenes and struggles of a past session in the acrimonious spirit and with the bitterness of attack which form such prominent features of this speech in question. For instance, what earthly end can it answer for a member of Parliament to go down to his constituents and tell them that he had rather remain upon the Opposition benches all his , life than pursue the course which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had done. It may sound very grand at the time he says so, but what follows ? The ignorant and inexperienced among his hearers go away with a false impression of things in their minds, and the wiser ones among them soon forget the transient impression made, or come to the con clusion that politics are a game of cross purposes, and that it is all more or less clap-trap. It would be amusing, if the subject were not too serious, to notice the manner in which some of the members of the Liberal party arrogate to themselves the right of judging the motives of their opponents. We should like to know by what powers they found out all this ; but at any rate there is one unanswerable reply to their argument, and that is that if they had settled the Reform question themselves some years ago, as they might have done, they would have removed temptation from their opponents. If we are to judge from the course pursued by the learned gentleman, he did not seem to find his position on the Opposition benches very pleasant. The resume of affairs given in this address is skilfully done, so far as it goes ; but it may be suggested that the very facts just put forth by Mr. COLERIDGE show the difficulties that were in the way of Reform, as advocated by the Liberal party. The election of 1565 gave Lord PALMERSTON a numerical majority of sixty or seventy styled the Liberal party, but this, immense as it looked on paper, " contained within itself the seeds of dis solution and weakness." Mr. COLERIDGE says that it would be a waste of time to inquire if under an other leader than Mr. GLADSTONE the party could have been kept together, but it is certain that they could never have been so united as the Conservatives had been; but then, on the other hand, they could never have consented to be the " spectacle" which that great party had become. So far as that goes, we think that the " great party" led by Mr. GLADSTONE was more of a spectacle when its plans crumbled into dust, and its schemes were frustrated on the eve of their would-be-accom plishment. We find a good deal said and commented upon in this speech concerning the deeds of the past session, but no mention is made of the Tea-room tragedy, which is left in the shadows of time. If half of what is here said of the Liberal party be true, and very likely it does not exaggerate any thing, the wisest thing for them to do would be to amend the errors of their own ways, and leave their opponents to take care of themselves. At the same time there are some home-truths met with that some discontented spirits might profitably dwell upon. For instance, we meet with this passage, "If such a state of things as had existed among the Liberal party of late were to continue, it could only have a weak and intermittent effect upon the current of public affairs; and if it were to resume, as he trusted it would, its rightful position of power and influence in the country, it must do so as a united party, a party united upon the basis of great mutual concessions." The disorganised state of the Liberal party has now passed into a proverb. When Lord DERBY called it the other night the " great united Liberal party " be provoked considerable mirth among his audience, and we find Mr. COLERIDGE plainly declaring that the party is weak at present in consequence of its disorganised state, which arose from several causes, some partly temporary in their nature, and some inherent in the nature of the party itself, and " which their leaders and their followers had better understand and frankly recog nise." This is no doubt true enough, and it would be well if its meaning was truly appreciated by those whom it immediately concerns. Perhaps there may be an ultimate gain both to the country and the Liberals themselves from the mortifying position in which they now find themselves. The country will learn that promises without performance go a very little way in bringing about salutary changes and in ad- vancing the interests of the community, and the party will find out that they must act, and not trust to the chances of time and the Old dodge of abusing their opponents. It is UOt to ho niadOnd 4t) that thos4 of rfiE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY IcvENIN3, OCTOBER 19, 18(7 party predilections and prejudices should feel a good deal 'annoyed and disappointed, for they have let the o pportunity slip by and thrown every advantage fi l o the hands of their opponents. Regrets for the pt tst are, however, as useless as they are unsatisfac to; y, and the best way now will be for the Liberals to do better for the future and act more in accord ant .to with the great principles they profess, and which it should be their delight and their pride to ca:-.y into effect. Tf e news brought by the Java from New York, ()earl ng date Oct. Bth, principally concerns the con diticrt of the national finances. Secretary M‘Ct7L- L.)CE has written a letter declaring that he considers the with of the National Government pledged to the p ayment; of the 5-20 United States Bonds in coin- This is probably in answer to the various suggestions which orators on both sides have lately introduced in their speeches. Mr. M'CuLLocu be lieves that the bonds are not to be called in at the expiration of five years from their respective dates of issue, and that Congress will not be called upon to make further issues of legal tender. Nothing is said about Mr. M'CuLLoon's rumoured retirement, which at thepreseut juncture would be a matter of regret on many accounts. Mr. SPINNER, the National Treasurer, emphatically denies the recent reports of over issues of national securities, so that confidence will be in some degree restored by these statements. The national debt on the Ist inst. was $2,630,000,000, when there were over a hundred million dollars in gold, and thirty million dollars currency in the Treasury. The Democrats are making substantial progress, having carried nearly all the municipal elections in Connecticut. Their gains in states like Connecticut and Pennsylvania aro very significant, and are worth a good deal more to the party than greater numerical victories in other directions. The ex treme Radicals have certainly lost favour in the country, and the New York Herald goes so far as to assert that some prominent Republicans are endea vouring to effect a compromise with Mr. JOHNSON. As proof of the readiness with which all sorts of rumours are accepted, we find that the fact of &LER MAN having had an interview with the PRESIDENT and General GRANT has been construed into an offer of the Secretaryship of War to the General. Possibly this report may have some foundation in fact, since GRANT was never very ready in his con sent to fill the office, and it is probable he may wish to vacate it for fear of damaging his chance of the Presidency. SHERMAN has always been friendly to the South in his opinions, having been for many years a resident there, and fully appreciating the difficulties of the negro question. He will never be popular there from the recollection of his terrible march, which virtually decided the fate of the war, but nevertheless he might act more cordially with the PRESIDENT in his endeavours to re store the Southern States to something like a national footing. General SHERIDAN continues to be the hero of the hour. At Boston he has had an enthusi astic reception, a torchlight procession and a mili tary escort being among the honours designed him. SHERIDAN himself, however, takes good care not to commit himselt by any indiscreet expression of opinion. On the last occasion when thousands of persons had assembled to give him a vociferous greeting, with the beat band obtainable to serenade him, banners, fireworks, and every other concomi tant usual to such tributes of popular favour, the multitude waited eagerly for a speech, anticipating nothing less than an attack on the PRESIDENT and a recitation of his wrongs. All the eloquence they got for their pains from the bluff soldier was— " Good night, good night, good night, gentlemen." After this the Bostonians must have known what to expect in answer to their enthusiastic ovations. But though SHERIDAN'S brevity may raise a smile, it would have been well for the reputation of many American dignitaries, statesmen as well as generals, if they had adopted the same course. Mr. JOHN SON himself might profit by his example, and re- member the adage which the brilliant military commander seems thoroughly to appreciate—" The tongue is not steel, but it cuts." The only other news of interest is of doubtful character. Mr. DAVIS'S trial is fixed for the fourth Monday in November, probably neither the first nor the last date assigned to that event. Our Admiralty officials have of late years had more than one opportunity of playing the part of courteous hosts, and they have shown themselves to better advantage in that capacity than in some others. Just now they are very busy in showing due attention to our American visitors, and, under the circumstances, it is especially desirable that our friends across the Atlantic should have no grounds for suspecting any slight or inattention paid to their Admiral, and, through him, to themselves. They have never failed when any notability from this country has visited their shores to give him a cordial welcome, and every returning visitor from the Heir Apparent downwards has testified to their hospitality. Our naval visitors at present deserve attention on a double score. Admiral FARIZAGUT bears a name not unknown in this country, where all the chief actors in the pageant of the war were as familiar as " household words." Americans of the better class consider it almost as a matter of course to pay a visit to the Old World, and the European tour is to them almost as regular a part of education as the continental tour used to be among ourselves in the days when travelling was thought more of than at present. Perhaps when a few years more have passed over, it may be come a European custom to take a trip across the Atlantic, and explore the marvels of that fertile and beautiful country. If that time should ever arrive we may hope to see a better mutual under standing between the two great nations. It is in disputable that the entente cordiale between France and England has become a matter of fact insteadof a diplomatic phrase only, since the immense in crease of the facilities for communication have enabled the people to mix freely together, to see the better side of each other's characters, and to arrive at a mutual understanding more accurate and reliable than the second-hand information of playwrights and novelists. The good feel ing which always existed more or less be tween the English and the Belgians has been grealty strengthened by the exchange or Volunteer visits, and so if English and Americans were more in the habit of seeing one another at home instead of only through the distorting medium of diplomacy and politics they would arrive at a much truer estimate of each other's character. It must be a matter of some curiosity and inte rest to Admiral FAnRAGUT and his companions to visit our English naval strongholds. America is eminent in shipbuilding, and claims the credit (if credit it be) of giving the world its first Monitors and other sea monsters of the kind. Whatever the deficiencies of their dock yards Admiral FARRAGUT'S countrymen exhibit a good deal more vigour in their naval management than do our noble lords and right hon. gentlemen. It is to be hoped that a comparison of notes with the representative of a more energetic and progres sive naval policy may infuse a little life into our somewhat sleepy naval administration, to whom a [ state 0 aolge Air iiklite ii the most 4ttraotive, varied, perhaps, by a little pulling of ships to pieces for the pleasure of putting them together again in a new and more costly way. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FRO)l OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The papers have assumed a very lugubrious and alarmist tone, and some of them assert with con fidence that the French Government has resolved to send another expedition to Rome. All that I can say upon that important point to-day is that nothing appears in the Moniteur,confirmatory of the report, and my inquiries in official quarters in duce me rather to discredit than believe it. The Opinion iVationale, however, alleges its truth in the most emphatic terms, and says that as Victor Emmanuel is so convinced of the state of feeling in Italy that he will not hesitate whatever course France may adopt. "So, according to all proba bility," adds the Opinion, "we are going to have a war with Italy." The Opinions Nationale in an other article says :—" When the Legislative Body shall assemble in another month it will find the policy of Frame engaged in a religious war—war perhaps declared against Italy, imminent with Prussia, and she will have no other course to adopt than to submit to resolutions adopted without her concurrence, and to pay the expenses of a policy as opposed to the secular monarchical traditions of France, as it is to the principles of France in 1789." The Prince Royal of Denmark has left Copen hagen for St. Petersburg, in order to be present at the marriage of the King of the Greeks with the Grand Duchess Olga. be recapitulated The news from Italy to-day may in a few sentences, for there is even a lack of insur gent anticipations and manufacture. The insur gents are reported to have invaded the province of Frosinone-Salvaterra, situate near the Neapolitan frontier, to the south of Rome, according to this version had been occupied by a detachment of volunteers, who, however, shortly left for the moun tains of Velletri. The Pontifical troops dispersed a band of insurgents who had collected at Valle corsa, a small town in the same province of Frosi none. According to one insurgent version of the state of affairs some of the chiefs taken in arms have been shot by order of the Pontifical Govern ment. The name of Count Pagliacci, an emigrant, is mentioned as having been executed, but the accounts of those military executions require con firmation. It is stated positively that the Emperor of Austria will arrive in Paris on Friday next. The ceremonial to be observed on his arrival will be in exact conformity with that which took place when the Emperor Alexander was here a few months ago. Perhaps the Emperor Napoleon will go to meet his Majesty at Nancy. Indeed, a German paper says that the Emperor Napoleon will go as far as Baden to have a previous interview with the King of Prussia. This latter report is a second edition of the ono which I have already contradicted. The King of Prussia will have returned to Berlin about the time in question. The session of the Reichstag of Northern Ger many will commence at the latter end of . the en suing week. _ . For some days past a report originating with the Liberte has been in circulation in Paris to the effect that the Exhibition is to remain open till the 17th of November. I did not allude to it knowing from authority that there was no foundation for it, but as some papers still believe it, and as some of you readers might be misled by it, I assure you that the Imperial Commission are determined to abide by the determination to close the Exhibition at the end of this month. The last of the Autumn Races at Chantilly took place yesterday, with the following results : Prix de Chateau (gentlemen riders), 2000 f.— Willis, 1 ; Prince Regent, 2 ; Schooner, 3. Prix de Verberie, 2000f.—Turenne, 1; Moins Value, 2 ; Palette, 3. Prix de Pay, 3000L—Nemea, 1 ; Turco, 2 ; Rouceavaux, 8. Prix do Chateau Laffitte (handicap) 4,000 f., for homes of 3-years-old and upwards—Alabama, 1 ; La Tracone, 2 ; Vendome, 3. Prix de Bouze (handicap).—Clochette, 1 ; Ajax the Third, 2 ; Willis, 3. Amount of the prize, 3,350 f. An enormous fish, called a luny, was caught a few days ago near Montredon in the Mediterranean. It weighed more than 1,3001b5. (English pounds). This fish, though rare, is good to eat. It was re tailed at a cheap rate. The lamy is said to live chiefly upon the tunny. Several more instances of garotting in the streets of Paris are mentioned by the Paris papers. There is an intention of establishing a mounted police to guard the streets at night. A day or two ago an English lady lost her purse near the Madeleine containing I,loof. She went next day in a great passion to the commissary of police, complaining bitterly of the want of regula tions in regard to lost money, the dishonesty of the French, and much of the same kind, adding that in England it would have been recovered directly. The commissary of police bore this foolish invective very good humouredly , con tenting himself with handing to the lady her p u rse and money, which after verifyin g th a t t h e amount restored. or e been d. founde bylady, a poor girl, and h a d j us t b een was all right, handed the poor girl a centime, the fifth politeness part a of c a c halfpenny, epted. which she with real French To-day has been like a day of summer. Roses and many other kinds of flowers are very abundant in the environs of Paris. Splendid green peas are in great plenty in the nursery grounds near St. Cloud and Sevres. The Exhibition to-day was almost as gay and as thronged as in the month of July. A striking instance of the advantage of persever ance, and that it may even overcome the " law's delay," has just been afforded. A lady, named Salix, known about the courts for the last 30 years as her own advocate for the restitution of property to which she is entitled, has just gained her cause, and come into possession of about a million and a half of francs. Ten years ago she was offered 800,000 f. as a compromise, but relying upon the jus tice of her claim she persevered, and now the Court of Paris has given her possession of her rights. The amount awarded is independent of another claim for interest and other property. An offer has been made of 315,000 f., but 11.1dlle. Salix intends to persevere with her claim for a much more considerable sum, and people sympathise with her, and " wish she may get it." A COLONIAL MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT SEN TENCED TO PENAL SERVITUDE.—Tho Melbourne Argus reports that a member of the Legislature has been con victed of forgery and sentenced to seven years' imprison meat. Tho prisoner is William Nelson M'Cann, who, being born in Geelong, had the honour of being the first native elected to sit in Parliament, which he first entered EOlll9 four years since. M'Cann had some talent, and a great deal of industry as an agitator, held a fair reputation for respec tability, and lately became a part proprietor of a daily newspaper called the Geelong Register. The affairs of the newspaper required money, and this, it appeared, led him to commit the offence which has boon brought home to him. lie was charged with having forged the signature of Thomas Sutherland, deputy registrar general, to a receipt for a stock mortgage. On this mortgage M'Cann contrived to obtain advances both from Mr. Gillespie, the manager of the National Bank, Geelong, and Captain Millahon, the leader of the opposition. Mr. llPCann was member for South Grant, and his conviction renders the seat vac tot. SUICIDE BY A PRIsONER.—The Deputy Coroner for Westminster held an inquest on Wednesday tight, at the Strand Union, respecting the death of Ell e n Cox, 38 years of age, who had cominittA suicide in a cell at Bow-street. It was proved that the deceased, who was a married woman, but who 'had been deserted by her husband, earned a very precarious livelihood by washing. On Saturday night she was confined for being drunk and assaulting an officer. Inspector Thompson visited the cells at a quarter to eleven, and all was right then. At a quarter past cloven ho again went to her cell and found her loaning against the door. He gently opened the door, ;is ho generally did when he knew persons wore tipsy, and round her with a handkerchief round her neck, and sus pended by means of the ventilating holes hi the door. He put his loft hand behind her, and laid her on her back, but ,Ite was dead. Dr. Alfred Harvey said she had no doubt put her head into the noose and fallen forward. Her being drunk would accelerate her death. The jury found a verdict of "Suicide by ha,nin while iti a fitato of tem porary iusauity," LATEST INEFJLLIGENOB. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE ROMAN QUESTION. BRUSSELS, Oct. 19. The Independance Beige of to-day publishes a telegram from Berlin, dated yesterday, which says : —•" The Prussian Government has by no means protested against French intervention iu Italy. Such intervention, however, is considered to be im probable. Should a direct understanding between Italy and the Pope prove impracticable, it is thought that France would negotiate a settlement of the Roman question with the other great Powers, either at a conference or by some other means." THE INVASION OF THE PAPAL STATES. FLORENCE, Oct. 18. The postal and telegraphic communication with Rome is interrupted. Further advices from Orte announce that part of Major Ghirellis' Roman band was fortified at Orte, and that the other portion had gone to rejoin Menotti Garibaldi. The junction between the bands of Nicotera and Menotti Garibaldi was al ready effected. A report was current that the Pontifical troops were preparing to attack Orte in considerable force. The Italie states that Count Barra], at present Italian Minister in Vienna, will be transferred to the same post in London. The Diritto of this evening states that the Island of Carrera is now regularly guarded by six men of war and occupied by 350 marines. TOULON, Oct. 18 (Evening). It is asserted that 10,000 troops from Lyons will arrive here in the course of to-night and to-morrow in order to embark. FRANCE AND THE ROMAN QUESTION. The Constilationnel contains an article upon the Roman question, signed by M. Limayrac, in which the writer expresses a wish to be able to put the question at present agitating all minds in its right light. He concludes thus :—lt is the duty of Italy to respect, and it is the incontestable right of France to cause to be respected, engagements which have been contracted. BOMBAY MAIL. MARSEILLES, OCT. 19.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A MEMBER OF A GANG OF NOTO mous THIEVES.—Wm. Bensy, a young man, was charged before Mr. Kncx with stealing a rug, the property of Mr. George Hopper, artist, of No. 3, Bath-place, Junction-row, Upper Holloway. Mr. Hepper said that between eight and nine o'clock on the evening of the 10th ho left his horse and gig in front of Mr. Hogg's, the York Minster Tavern, Foley-street, a rug being placed over the horse. While at Mr. Hog,g's he was called down and told his rug had been stolen. Alfred Harman said that on the evening of the 10th he saw the prisoner and two or three of his companions standing about Mr. Hopper's gig, and saw the prisoner go up to the horse and take the rug from it and run past him. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether he did anything at the time. The witness said he did not as he was afraid, as he knew the roughs and thieves about the neigh bourhood would just as soon break his or anybody else's head with a brick as not, if they were inter fered with. As soon as the prisoner's companions saw some one coming from Mr. flogg's house, they went off. Robert Carter, a plain clothes officer of the E division, said that about 9 o'clock last night he went to the Boot public-house, Wells-street, and saw the prisoner in the back parlour, a crowd of roughs being in the place. He called him out, and told him he wanted to speak to him, when he said, " About the cloth ?" He told the prisoner that was the case, and that he should charge him with stealing it. The prisoner said he had got the wrong man. The prisoner refused his address, but he knew him well, and he was one of a notorious gang of burglars, and had just come out of prison. About a dozen of the same gang were now under going penal servitude. Mr. Knox said it was his intention to remand the prisoner. The prisoner in the blandest manner asked the magistrate whether he thought there was really anything to remand him for. Mr. Knox said he thought there was a great deal, and be bad no doubt that if when he went before the judge a previous conviction was proved against him, he would get a term of penal servitude. The prisoner was remanded. POULTRY.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—At a special general meeting held at the club-house, Albemarle-street, numerously attended -there being upwards of 150 mem bers present, the noble commodore, Lord Alfred Paget, taking the chair (which at the close of the meeting was occupied by Colonel Josiah Wilkinson)—tho secretary, Captain P. C. Stuart Grant, having read the circular con vening the meeting, the object for which it was assembled was formally discussed, and the balance-sheet, with the financial statement of Sept. 30, 1867, prepared by profes sional accountants, was laid before the meeting. The re commendation of the general committee to increase the annual subscription from three to five guineas, on and after Jan. 1, 1868, was put from the chair, and also au amendment, when on a show of hands the former was carried by a very large majority, indeed almost unani mously. A good muster of yacht owners attended, and the written answers from several absent members, ex pressing their views on the subject, were in favour of the increase by more than two to one. WRECK OF THE STEAMER ZAMUNA.—The trade between Bombay and Suez will, for a time, bo somewhat behindhand. The Abyssinian expedition has taken up a large portion of the " traders" at Bombay, and therefore a good demand was made for the steamers trading between Bombay and Suez. Ouo of the best and most useful of the Bombay Shipping Company's vessels has come to grief— , the Zamuna, a splendid screw steamer, built at Liverpool by T. hoyden and Son, and was classed A. for 20 years on the Liverpool regiaWri WESTMINSTER. SERIOUS RESULT OF A DO3IESTIC BROlL—Daniel Ilaighes, a labourer, was charged with assaulting John Alnott, a gentleman's coachman. Inspector Mcl-lugo said that Alnott had been perfectly unconscious since the event, and produced a medical certificate to that effect. Ann Phillips, of No. 13, Fulham-bridge-yard, Knightsbridge, said last evening she was down stairs when she saw the prisoner strike Alnott with his fist. She did not see him fall. Mr. Selfe—Did he strike him more than once ? Witness—l cannot say, because I did not see the beginning, but he has got a black eye, and is now going to be taken to the hospital on a stretcher. He is quite insensible. Inspector McHugo—The medical man thinks that his skull is fractured. Mr. Selfe—Have you seen him this morning ? Police-constable Ross, 206 B—l have, and he is lying quite insensible. _ . . Mrs. Allnott said that there had been some dif ferences going on between Mrs.:Haighes and her about their children quarrelling and fighting, and when the men came borne last night they were brought into it, and prisoner challenged her husband to fight and struck him. He was dragged down the stairs, defending himself with a pail. She heard Mrs. Haighes and sister say to prisoner, " Give him another to finish him." He bled, when he was afterwards got up stairs, and said, " He has stunned me," and then became insensible. Prisoner, on his part, complained that the attack bad commenced with the other party, and that his wife had been knocked down with a pail. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner for a week, but said he would take bail for him. Extraordinary Charge of Frani. The charges against Messrs. Colin Campbell and Sons, of Liverpool, were proceeded with yesterday before Mr. Raffles, stipendiary, and a full bench of magistrates. Mr. Higgin (who appeared for the defendant, Mr. Charles Lee Campbell), proceeded to address the court on behalf of his client. He contended that it was perfectly clear that Mr. Campbell declined to pledge specific cotton, and that it was not insisted upon by Mr. Hyde on the part of the bank. The result of the conversation between the two gentle men was this : Mr. Campbell said : "We are cotton brokers ; we have cotton continually coming in and going out ; we cannot pledge any particular parcel of cotton belonging to any particular person, but we shall have cotton in our hands sufficient to pro tect those bills." If such was the statement it was not a false statement. It was true, and he (Mr. Higgin) would prove it to be so, and that they had in their possesssion, dominion, and control upon the 4th July, when these two bills were discounted, cotton to the value of £37,000. The promise was fulfilled if Messrs. Campbell, at the time of dis counting the bills, bad cotton in their hands be longing to anybody over which they had power and control. The letter of the 2d March said—" Your promise that you will in all cases have cotton with 25 per cent. margin against them being quite satis factory." It did not say—" Your promise that you will in all cases have cotton belonging to the drawers or the acceptors of the particular bills, with the 25 per cent. margin against them, will be satisfactory." It merely said, "If you have cotton," that was general cotton, not belong ing to any particular person at all. Now, if on the 4th July, when these bills were discounted, Messrs. Campbell had cotton to the amount with 25 per cent. margin over and above, he ventured to submit strongly that there was no such thing as a false pretence. If it could be shown that Messrs. Campbell had no cotton in their hands at the time these two bills were discounted, and they falsely represented that they had cotton in their hands, that was quite a different matter. That was a false pretence of the existing fact ; but a promise made by a man that he would continually during a specified period do a particular act and abstain from doing a particular act, and he thereby gaining something, was not a false pretence. Who, he should like to know, in Liverpool would be fool enough to make such a promise about having cotton in their hands with a 25 per cent. mar gin? In conclusion, Mr. Higgin urged that a great injustice had been done to his client in bring ing him before the court on a charge which more properly belonged to the Bankruptcy Court. At the police-court his client's mouth was closed ; there he could not get up and contradict what Mr. Hyde had said ; whereas in the Bankruptcy Court he would have been examined face to face with the bank manager, and the commissioner and the public would then have been able to judge as to the truth of the respective statements. The course of proce dure which had been adopted was unfair and un manly ; and the only ground for it was, be thought, the hope which the bank had thereby to get twenty shillings in the pound. As an independent man, he believed conscientiously that the facts did not sup port the false pretence. Several witnesses having been called on the part of the defence, Mr. Sleigh proceeded to reply upon the part of the prosecution. The magistrates then retired, and on their return Mr. Raffles said that he had to announce with great regret that they felt compelled to send the case for trial at the Assizes. _ _ Three other cases were entered into, in two of which committals were made out to the Aseizes, and in the third Mr. Hyde was bound over to prosecute. Bail was accepted for Mr. Campbell, himself in £2,000, and two sureties of £l,OOO each.

Charles Abbot, Lord Colchester, died yesterday afternoon, at his residence in Ber keley-square, after a protracted illness. Ills lordship was seized by paralysis a few days before the meet ing of Parliament last session, from which he never entirely recovered. On Thursday his lordship ex perienced another attack, and death speedily fol lowed. The deceased nobleman was the eldest of the two sons of Charles Abbot, who, in 1801, was appointed chief secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland and Keeper of the Privy Seal in that country, and who, in 1802, was chosen Speaker of the House of Commons. Charles Abbot retained the chair of that assembly until the session of 1817, and on his retirement in June of that year he was created a peer by the title of Baron Colchester, of Colchester, in the county of Essex. The deceased was born on the 12th Mardi, 1798, and was consequently in his 70th year. On the decease of his father in May, 1829, he succeeded to the barony ; and on the 3d Feb., 1836, he married the Hon. Elizabeth Susan Law, second daughter of Edward, first Lord Ellen borough, who survives her husband. The late lord has issue an only son, the Hon. Reginald C. Abbot, born Feb. 13, 1842. The late Lord Colchester was educated at the Royal Naval College, and entered the navy in April, 1811,. on board the Revenge, 74. lie was one of the crew of the Alceste (Captain Murray Maxwell), which accompanied Lord Am- herst to China, and on the return home was wrecked in February, 1817. His lordship received many other appointments, and his most important com mission was that of taking, in April, 1831, as cap tain of the Volage, 28, the Emperor and Empress of Brazil to Cherbourg, and afterwards of enforcing the Dutch embargo. The late Lord Colchester was a Conservative in politics. On the accession of Lord Derby to power in 1852 he was appointed Vice-President of the Board of Trade and Pay master-General; and again, on Lord Derby taking office in 1858, was appointed Postmaster-General, which office his lordship held till June, 1859. His heir, Reginald Charles Abbot, already mentioned, was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, at which university be attained di6tinguished honours—that of second class in 1861. He has unsuccessfully contested two constituencies since the last dissolu tion of Parliament, and is now one of the secretaries to Lord Derby, the First Lord of the Treasury. The late lord obtained his rank of lieutenant Sept. 15, 1817; commander, Jan. 27, 1821; captain, Jan. 26, 1826 ; and became a rear-admiral (reserved) April 1, 1854 ; vice -admiral, May 2, 1850 ; and admiral, Jau. 11, 1864. Mn. E. WELBY PUGIN has in the press a work entitled, " Who was the Art Architect of the Westminster Palace ?" It is to be published by Messrs. Longmans. TILE FORESTS IN Scon.AND.—The folio wing sport has been had in the Erchless forests :—On the sth inst. Sir Greville Smythe, Bart., shot three good stags at one stalk ; on the 9th, one with a good royal head. On the same day, W. B. Lysley, Esq., shot ono stag ; on the 10th, two stags right and loft; on the 12th, a stag with the most peculiar horns ever seen by the oldest sportsman. Tho horns are of very great thickness, measuring nine inches round the coronet, the girth round the middle being six inches. One horn is palmated at the top, measuring 9/ inches across, with a cluster of four points springing out of the top. Besides these, it has two short brow antlers. The other horn has ono small brow antler and three tines at the top. The length of the horn is two feet two inches ; the span only twelve inches inside the horns, and six inches at the top. The horns grow much more forward than is usually the case. Tho head has been sent to Mr. Macicay, Church-street, to be preserved, and can be seen at any time in his shop. On the 10th, Sir Greville Smythe killed a good stag with ten points. On the 18th, Lord Middleton shot in Applecross forest four pod stags at one stalk, firing only three shots. Two of the stags were royals; and the span of one between the horns was 35 inches. On a previous occasion this season his hordship killed four stags at one stalk.—lnverness Courier. STAG HUNTING IN THE WEST.—The season for hunting the wild red deer on Exmoor and its borders is far advanced, but the sport hitherto has been almost unprece dented in the history of the chase. A fow weeks ago we stated that a eplethlid 'stag had been run on to the very edge of a precipice overhanging the Bristol Channel, and falling over, was dashed to pieces. Since then several fine animals have afforded exciting sport to very large and enthusiastic fields. A meet took place at Higher Combo Dulverton. After an interval a fine stag was uncovered which ran for many miles, and at last found his way to Bickleigh, near Tiverton, where he . ran into the river Exo, swimming majestically up the stream. The hounds wore soon after him, and he was captured. The stag was a noble animal, about seven years old. The next meet was at Hawkcombe Head, Porlock. After some time a fine young stag was started at Bromham, and ran across the moor to Badworthy, Brendon, Challacombe, &c., when after a run of 2 hours and 40 minutes, he was captured. The next stag was found at AllercOmbe, and after a capital run of three hours he was slain by Mr. Deane, of Barn staple, in Bagsworthy water ' The following Friday up wards of 500 persons assembled at Hell-bridge. A stag was found in Winsford allotment, but was soon lost to view! Soon after a hind sprang in view, and ran over Winsford-hill and South-view. She, however, dropped before her pur suers, and the pack was again laid on for the stag. Re was discovered at rest in Red Cleeve, and after a long run tho animal, making a desperate effort for life, jumped from a height of 12ft. or . 13ft. into the road, and fractured hisjavr• He managed, however, to get over the fence, and plunged into the water, but here he was slain by Mr. T. Webber, a farmer. The fastest run ever witnessed was a subsequent one in pursuit of a hind. After two hours and a half, how' ever, the animal plunged into a thicket and escaped her pursuers. On Tuesday, October 1, the meet was at Clouts ham. A stag was soon found, which ran for two hours and 20 minutes. It, was 11 years old, and its weight 1 1 score. On the following Friday, October 4, there was another meet at Brendon. A hind was started from Door park, but after a run of ono hour and 20 minutes there vino uo inclination to have the animal killed, and the pack vva 9 drawn off. It will be seen by these brief notes of recent runs that the sport has been of a first-rate character, thanke to the enterprising Master, Mr. Bissett, and to the strict measures of preservation which have been adopted by the owners of property on and about Exmoor. INFANTICIDE AND ILLEGITIMACY.—From the analysis of the judicial statistics in the Solicit or's Journal, it appears that, out of the 6,872 infants under seven years upon whom inquests were held, 5,523 were legiti mate, and that only 1,349 wore illegitimate. This is La sufficient answer to those who allege that illegitima te children are usually the subjects of infanticide ; and, in addition to this, while infanticide has most undoubted l y been on the increase, there has boon for the last Wee years no material variation in the number of children dying a violent death upon whom inquests were held." British. Medical .Tournal.
