French news is of an exciting character to-day. It is true that all maintains its usual aspect, but an accident occurred which nearly caused general con sternation in France, the Empress and the Prince Imperial nearly escaped death by drowning, and it is indeed a wonder that they escaped. It appears that the Royal party had been cruising towards the Spanish coast, but on returning they found the sea was too high for them to land at Biarritz, and con sequently took the yacht's boat, in order to effect a landing at St. Jean de Luz. The pilot who had the charge of the first boat con. taining the Empress and the Prince con trived somehow to miss the entrance of the harbour, and run the boat among the rocks. The unfortunate man fell over, and was drowned. The others were, however, carried through the surf and landed in safety. The surprise and horror of those in the following boats when they learned the risk run by the Empress may be imagined. It is strange to think how difficult it would be for France, or even for Europe, if the chances had been otherwise, and this morning the news was spread abroad far and wide concerning the loss of the Royal Lady and the illustrious Prince. It may be suggested that sufficient care is not taken in these Royal expeditions. It would have been more prudent not to have started at all during tempes tuous weather ; or, if so, it was unwise to attempt landing in the dark. All is well that ends well must serve to console us on this as on other occa sions of peril that have been surmounted, and the loss of the unfortunate pilot seems to have been the only result to deplore. Another piece of news of importance is the death of M. FOULD, which took place on Saturday evening. He was a Minister of Finance at one time, and a member of the Privy Council. His loss will be deeply mourned by many, and the State has lost the ser vices of a most valuable servant. Reports are in circulation relative to the understanding that pre vails between the Emperor NAPOLEON and King VICTOR EMMANUEL on the subject of the military occupation of the POPE'S territory, but nothing appears to be of a very reliable character. Prussia, it is declared, is in favour of the demands of Italy for an alteration to be effected in the September Convention, which may be true so far. From Paris we learn that no great faith is put in the reports of the victory of the insurgents published at Florence. The Etendard declares that the contrary is the truth, and that trustworthy despatches affirm the state of the Roman provinces to be most reassuring, and that the general impression in Rome was a favourable one. It will be very satisfactory when we hear on good authority that the disturbing in fluences which now prevail in Italy, and which must militate against the prosperity and progress of the land, without effecting any corresponding advantage by way of compensation. Whatever may be the political differences existing between the Governments of England and the United States, there has been no want of respect and good feeling in the closing honours paid to Sir FREDERICK BRUCE. Although he had filled his responsible post for a comparatively short time, he had succeeded in gaining very largely the respect and the confidence of the Americans, and this not withstanding that the time was one of trial and difficulty. The feeling of regret for his sudden and premature death has been deep and general. All classes of citizens in the leading towns have hastened to do him honour, and many eminent names may be read among the list of his mourners. The funeral obsequies were performed at Trinity Church, Boston, on the 24th ult., the church being appropriately draped with the American and English colours looped with black. The principal members of the diplomatic corps were present, and though the task he so much wished to accomplish remains unfinished, Sir FREDE RICK BRUCE has been laid in the grave amid the sincere regrets and with the respect and affection of all who knew him. Mr. THORNTON, now Minister at Rio Janeiro, is said to be appointed in his place. Whoever may be called to fill so arduous an office, we hope that he will succeed in winning his place in the esteem of the Americans as readily as Sir FREDERICK BRUCE. It needs some time and experience to understand fully the peculiar characteristics of any nation— even those whose language and habits are so much like our own ; and if the new Ambassador enters upon his duties without due caution he may irritate the national susceptibilities, or arouse popular suspicion, which will subsequently put serious difficulties in his way. The Southern and the Northern continents of America are occupied by very different peoples, animated by different aims and inspired by different traditions. In spite of the struggles for national independence so gal lantly maintained by some of the Southern States, there is almost the distinction between the old world and the new, between New York and San- tiago. In fact there is more sympathy between some classes of English and Americans than be tween the Chilians or Brazilians and the New Englanders. It is likely, however, that Mr. SEWARD, however vehement his indignation on paper, will take care that matters are not pushed too far, since a war with this country would be on all accounts most undesirable and disastrous to the slowly reviving commercial prosperity of the States. Meantime the perpetual fever which is kept up in America by the rapid succession of elections is now at a great height in the States of Pennsylvania, lowa, Indiana, and Ohio. Very important elections arc at hand, and the Democrats confidently believe they will succeed this year in ga.in:ng ground upon the Radicals. Last year's elections gave the Radi cals large majorities in all these States, the TBE SUN_ LoNilo:v. MONDAY EI/LNING, OCTOBER 7, 150. ,Etep Ifolican votes in Ohio being nearly 50,000 in:. eXet!ss of the Democrats. The offices to be voted for , are all important. In Ohio it is the Go- vern orship, for which two rival Generals are cont ending. In Pennsylvania it is the post of Judge of the Supremo Court which is held for 15 year. s. In lowa it is the Governor who is to be chose n ; and in Indiana only members of the State Legislature. It may easily be supposed that these contests are exciting the greatest interest ; and since there can be no question that the Radicals have succeeded in disgusting a very large party through their reckless mismanagement of public funds and their extravagant animosity towards the South, it is very probable that the Re publican majorities may be at least reduced. The misfortune in all these contests is that the best men refuse to come forward, and the voters are often compelled to choose between rival candi dates who are both unfit for the post. This grievance is loudly lamented by all the better classes of Americans, but so mischievous is the system under which candidates are selected that it is almost hopeless to expect good men to come for ward. The Union League of Philadelphia has offered prizes for the best essays, suggesting plans for the selection of candidates, but, unluckily, in real life, the prizes are ready for any unscrupulous man who can thrust himself into a position in which he can handle public money, and use his political influence to his own profit. This system of making a trade of politics is an openly recog nised evil in America; and, until some means can be devised of grappling with it, we cannot hope to see a permanent change for the better in the con duct of the national affairs. Mr. GRANT DUFF has made an interesting speech at Elgin. He addressed his observations more to the prospects of the coming session than to the reminiscences of the last, which was a refreshing change at any rate to those wearied with the oft repeated tale of the struggle that took place on the Reform Bill of 1867. We concur in the hope expressed by the hon. member that we may have no party fighting during the necessary work that will remain in the matter of Reform Legislation If the year 1868 be looked upon as a " time of armistice" no doubt a great deal may be effected of a lasting and a satisfactory character. Referring to the Scotch Reform Bill, Mr. DUFF said he thought that the Government had pledged itself to two things—first of all, to give additional members to Scotland ; and secondly, to lower the franchise. As for the notion of grouping boroughs, respecting which so much doubt has pre vailed, in all probability the general expression of opinion on the subject will prevail with the Go vernment and the House of Commons. Mr. GRANT DUFF said with great truth that the Government had no cause to apprehend any factious opposition from the Scotch members. On this we may remark, in passing, that they present a very favourable con trast to some of the Irish members, who harass and worry the Government, and seem determined to be satisfied with nothing that is done. Trades unions were considered in this speech, and indeed the subject nowadays occupies so much attention that it is not likely any speaker would pass it over. Mr. DUFF thinks that they must be dealt with in a fair but firm spirit, receiving protection from the law when their objects are not wrong, but restrained wh en they interfere with the liberty of others. We wish that we could believe with the hon. member that the atrocities of Sheffield. and Manchester are rather the remains of old evils than the forerunners of new ones. On the contrary, we apprehend that con tinued investigation will result in bringing to light more revelations of a shocking nature, and that the evil sentiment which animates these Unions, in many instances, is spreading rather than decreasing. It is at anyrate most encou raging to find that men of experience and in telligence in all directions are coming to the con clusion that something must be done in the matter to check the progress of the evil and to counteract its fatal influences. As it is here put, " The work ing class have surely not been freed from the tyranny of guilds and corporations created by law only to fall under a new tyranny." The importance of education was laid great stress upon by Mr. GRANT DUFF, who is himself in favour of compulsory education being adopted. This system will not, however, find favour with the people of this country, as it is contrary to the practices and usages which have long been in vogue and accord with the spirit of the national institu• tions. Mr. D UFF does not entertain a very sanguine view of the aspect of political matters in some re spects. He says that "Lord RUSSELL has mistaken the clock ; pray Heaven that his mistake may not break up the Libera: party." But he thinks that the Democratic England of the twentieth century will be a better place to live in than the England of to-day. The year 1866 has been generally recognised as a very stormy and inclement one, and it is not, there- fore, surprising to find that the demands on the resources of the National Lifeboat Association have been more than usually heavy. At the meeting held on Thursday, at the offices of the Institution, in the Adelphi, payments amounting to nearly £4,000 were ordered to be made on the various establishments, making a total of £23,290 ex pended on the lifeboat stations during the current year. The pressure on the funds was stated to be very heavy at the present time, and it was probable that some of the funded capital of the society would be sold out to meet the demands. Those who are interested in the successful prosecution of the great work so ably carried on by this associa tion will no doubt respond to this announcement by liberal subscriptions. There is no lack of tangible evidence of the good done through their efforts. During this year they have been instrumental in rescuing 762 lives, and during the gales of the last month alone 47 lives and 9 vessels have been saved on the north-eastern coast. For these services re wards, amounting to £53, were voted, as well as £4O for services during the recent heavy gales at Mar gate, Dundalk, and New Brighton. Visits of inspec tion have recently been paid to the several stations, and a strict supervision is kept over the boats and their crews. It is interesting to find that the Order of Foresters keep up their interest in the Association. They have just sent £5O for the support of their lifeboat Forester at Newquay, Cardigan, and they are collecting funds for a new boat. The institu tion has recently sent new boats to Mullion, in Cornwall, to Brighton, and to Dundalk, in Ire land; these three being the gifts of several Sunday schools. Such facts are highly interesting, because they show how widely the efforts of the Association are now appreciated, and there is no doubt that the more their labours are understood the more nume rous and ready will be their supporters. THE OUTRAGE ON THE REV. ALBAN CEADOCK AT STOURBRIDGE.—A few weeks ago when Murphy was lecturing at Stourbridge tho Rev. Alban Cradock, Roman Catholic priest at Kidderminster, was set upon in the streets of Stourbridgo by an infuriated mob and compelled to take shelter in the Talbot Hotel. He returned home, but has never been well since, and a short time ago was taken most dangerously ill, and is now dying, it is feared, from internal injuries received from the attack of Murphy's followers.—Birntingltain Gazette, CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. Considerable sensation has been produced in Paris by an announcement made in the Diritto of Florence that the Italian Government had again arrested Garibaldi. This news was circulated in Paris on Friday evening after post hour, but not withstanding the time which has elapsed there is no real confirmation of the alleged news, although it has formed the basis of many exciting conjec tures as to the cause and probable consequences of the arrest. No telegram confirmatory of the in telligence has since been received in Paris, or at all events no account to be relied upon has been pub- Many believe that a hoax has been played upon the Diritto. I have recently alluded to the extensive fabrication of news in Paris, and per haps the system has commenced iu Italy. M. Simson, the President of the Reichsrath, has arrived at the chateau of Hohenzollern, and has presented the address of the Chamber in answer to the address of the King of Prussia at the opening of the Parliament of Northern Germany. His Ma jesty received the document very graciously, and he was invited to breakfast with the King. It is stated from Stuttgard that the project of law relative to military service in Wurtemberg has been referred to a Committee of the Chamber. This project enacts the universal obligation to serve in the army without a substitute. The active service will be for three years, a service of four years in the army of reserve, and a service of five years in the Landwehr. The Chamber will decide upon the number of men of which the army is to be composed. The Moniteur says—" We hear that the Jewish community of Tripoli, in Barbary, has obtained com plete satisfaction for the violation and incendiarism of the synagogue of Zelitan. An indemnity of 70,000 piastres has been accorded for the recon struction of the Synagogue, and energetic measures have been adopted for the punishment of the guilty and the security of the Jews. This result is mainly to be attributed to the intervention of the French Consul, who has given to the Jews a support which they never before obtained from any representative of the French Government." The postal convention concluded on the 27th of May last between France and Denmark has been published. The minimum price of a letter not ex— ceeding 10 grammes between the two countries will be half a franc if stamped, and 12 sous if not stamped. The minimum postage of a letter from France to England, if stamped, is eight sous, or fourpence ; but, if the letter be not stamped, treble postage, or one shilling, is charged, but the weight must not exceed seven grammes, or a quarter of an ounce. A transatlantic cable is about to be laid between Brest and the French colony of St. Pierre-Miquelon. The cable will be manufactured in England on the new system for which a gold medal was obtained at the Exhibition. The length will be about 2,600 kilometres (a kilometre is upwards of 1,000 yards). St. Pierre Miquelon is a small island in the North Atlantic Ocean, at the entrance of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, near Newfoundland. From St. Pierre the cable will go direct to Now York. By this cable France will, as it were, form a central medium of telegraphic communication with the whole world. The arms to be seen at the Exhibition excite peculiar interest. There are some admirable speci mens of English, French, and American manu facture. It has been said that the success of Prussia against Austria in 1866 is to be mainly attributed to the needle-gun. This opinion is con troverted by Colonel Borbftcsd, who has written an interesting work upon the Prussian campaigns. He says :—" The infantry had entire confidence in its needle-gun. At all events, this weapon was superior to the Austrian gun, and it contributed much to the success and the confident attitude of the Prussian infantry, but it is an exaggeration to attribute to it the great results obtained upon the field of battle. Under most of the circumstances of the combat the Prussians assumed the offensive, and oftener re sorted to the use of the bayonet than to the needle gun. It was only when momentarily the Prussians were compelled to act on the defensive, or when they pursued the enemy with their gun after having repulsed them, that the needle-gun really caused ravages." The colonel was engaged in the cam paign, and, whether his opinion be wrong or right, the French Government, I am informed on good authority, is about to make a practical adoption for the army of another gun of a more formidable character, which is to be seen in the Exhibition. It is the invention and manufacture of the cele brated gunsmith, M. Devisme. The percussion is effected by a strong piercing instrument, which strikes the cartridge at the back without entering it. This cartridge is of metallic basis. This gun is handled with peculiar ease, and the receptacle for the cartridge is opened by a sort of key which acts as a lever. An accident has occurred near Biarritz which might have been attended with most terrific results. The Empress and the Imperial Prince, with the Marquis de la Valette and the Imperial attendants, embarked in a small boat to make an excursion to Fontarabria. The Prince landed and walked about the town. The boat, the Chamois, then sailed for St. Jean de Luz It became dark, and the pilot missed the entrance to the port. The boat struck a rock, and afterwards sunk, but happily the passen gers were able to land in safety at Cibcoune. The poor pilot, however, was knocked i n t o th e sea . With assistance he gained the shore, but in spite of every attention he died in the course of the night. The annual vintage fete at Argenteuil, which takes place the evening before the vintage com mences, is always attended with Bacchanalian orgies, but this year it was kept up with more than the accustomed spirit, not to say disorder. The whole population, men, women, and children, en camp in the open air, walk in procession, and sing, dance, and converse during the whole of the night. "They won't go home till morning." About 12,000 persons kept up the fete this year. The police are always in attendance, as they know the scene enacted is something like that at Donnybrook fair, but with the exception of a fair fight, w hi c h ended in laughter, nothing particularly w r o n g occurred. Soon after daybreak the vintage opera tions commenced, in which all joined exc e pt th ose who had a headache, and were a little the worse for the mighty wine of the old year, which ushered in the operations for the process of the year to come. M. Kilotz, the proprietor of our namesake i n Paris, the Soleil, has been ordered by the Tribunal of Correctional Police to pay a fine of 500 f., M. Faure, the writer, to two months' imprisonment, and M. Schillar, the printer, to a fine of 300 f., for an article in that journal, " tending to trouble the public peace, and to excite the hatred and contempt of the citizens against each other." This article formed a culpable attack upon the National Guard and the authorities. charged with the maintenance of good order and tranquillity. A monument has recently been erected in the cemetery of Montmartre, on which is the following inscription :—" here lies B. lle died on the 27th of August, 1867, and made his wife happy." Scarcely was ever a colder wind felt in the middle of winter than has prevailed to-day. Yesterday morning some large flakes of snow fell in the Boule vards. An interesting sale of autographs is now in pre gress in Paris. A receipt of Moliere was sold for 220 f. It is a receipt for 440 francs, signed J. B. P. Moliere. The receipt is " for board and rent of room during five days that the King's company played at St. Germain, by order of his Majesty, at the fete of St. Hubert, Paris, November 11, 1668." As a mere receipt of the great comedy writer sold for such a sum, the probability is that some of his autograph letters will realise a good deal of money. The collection is said to include many valuable and curious letters of eminent personages. GUN ACCIDENT.—An accident resuiting in death is reported from Guisborough, iu Yorkshire. A girl named Emma Featherstone, who was servant at a farm-house, was shot by a fellow servant. Death was immediate. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) FEARFUL EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE ON TILE NORTH LONDON RAIL WAY. Shortly before seven o'cock this morning a fearful explosion, involving loss of life, took place at the Highbury Coal Depot of the North London Rail way. The depot is situated on the south side of the line, near the Highbury station, and is approached from St. Paul's-road. There are several lofty tim - ber lifts for raising the cial trucks from the line into the yard, and they were worked by a powerful stationary engine. It appears that the unfortunate driver, named Charles Platt, who has perished, got up steam at the usual hour this morning, aal the work proceeded in a comparatively safe manner. Twelve coal trucks had been raised, the thirteenth was about being lifted, and when it had got some two feet or so from the ground, a fearful explosion oc curred which shook the whole neighbourhood. Considering the nature of the catastrophe, it is mar vellous that there was not a greater loss of life. As it was, however, the destruction of property was something fearful to witness. The brick walls of the engine -house were shattered to atoms, and much of the massive timbers of the lift torn away. Such was the terrific force of the explosion that the heavy tube of the boiler, weighing some three tons was hurled completely across the line into the Mews, behind Highbury-place, and half of the carriage into the 6 ft. way between the two line of rails, the other portion being thrown up into the • wreck of the lift. Had a passenger train been pass ing at the time, it is fearful to contemplate what would have been the consequence. The officers on the Highbury-station immediately took every pre caution to block the line, and as soon as practicable an examination was made amongst the ruins of the engine house. The remains of the driver Platt were found sadly mutilated, life, of course, being extinct. His arm was found round the piston rod, and it is thought that he had heard something, and was endeavouring to escape when the ex plosion occurred. The coal man, who had been attending to the coal truck, which was about being raised, had a miraculous escape, as had some of the other labourers. From an inspection which has been made of the remains of the boiler, it appears that it was the casing that exploded, the tube, which was thrown across the line, being almost uninjured. The lifts and depot are the property of the North London Railway Company, but they were in the occupation of Messrs. Lea and Co., coal merchants. The deceased was in the service of the railway company, and it is stated that the orders were never to exceed a pressure of 401bs. to the inch. The boiler was what is called a Cornish one, and had been in use some years. The deceased has left a widow and numerous family. The pas. senger trains ran as usual afterwards. POLICE IN TELL MENGE.— This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SERIOUS CHARGE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING.-- Mary Ann Pennington, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with feloniously cut ting and wounding another young woman, named Ann Harrington, residing in March-street, Long acre. The Prosecutrix said—Last night I was stand ing in Congston-street, talking to some young women, when the prisoner, another female, and a man, came up, and the prisoner struck one of the young women and knocked her down, and while she was on the ground the man kicked the young woman. I cried out Shame," when the prisoner made a rush at me and tore my bonnet, and struck me in the face. I called " Police," and the police came up and sent the prisoner away. I walked over the way, when the prisoner came up to me and struck me again, the man being with her. The man, giving the prisoner a knife, said, " Put this into her," and the prisoner, having opened the knife, struck her in the side. The prisoner and her companions then ran away. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Should you know the man again ? Prosecutrix—Yes. The police went after the prisoner, and caught her, and I went to the hospital. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do you know what became of the knife ? Prosecutrix—l believe she threw it away. Mary Ann Dawson, another young woman, gave similar evidence. The house surgeon at the Middlesex Hospital said that last night the prosecutrix was brought to the hospital with a small punctured wound in her side. She was attended to, and will have to attend as an out-patient for some days. The prisoner was remanded. A female stepped forward and charged the pro secutrix with assault. Mr. Tyrwhitt said she had better do that in the usual manner. WESTMINSTER. THE VALUE OF POLICE TESTIMONY.—Richard Stratton, a smart, clean-looking youth of about 16, was charged under the following circumstances : Jason Ilawes, 188 B, said that at about one o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw defendant with a blacking-box standing near the Star and Garter, Sloane-square. He requested him to go away, and as he refused put his hand on his shoulder to move him, when he " up with his box" and struck him on the leg with it, and then I took him into custody. _ _ Mr. Arnold—Wht offence had he committed. Policeman—He was obstructing the footway. He was causing an obstruction just as people were coming from church. Mr. Arnold—You say he assaulted you? Policeman—l did not charge him with that. Mr. Arnold—You have charged him with ob structing you in the execution of your duty. Policeman—lie would'nt go away. Mr. Arnold—You appear to have charged him with an offence he did not commit, and to have omitted to charge him with one he had. Defendant denied all obstruction, - and said that the policeman threw the blacking-box over his shoulder and struck himself with it. He was doing no harm when the policeman unjustly seized him and knocked him about, and he told him to take him to the station in preference to ill-using him. Mr. Arnold (to the policeman)—Have you any witness ? Policeman—No. Mr. Arnold—Defendant is discharged. DEATH OF A CITY BURGLAR.—The City burglar, William Brown, who was better known as " Scotty," and was one of the gang sentenced in 1865 to long terms of penal servitude for daring robberies in the shops of Mr. William Johnson, jeweller, of Threadneedle-street, and Mr. John Walker, of Cornhill, died in Millbank a few days ago. The deceased was not transported to Australia with Casely, Hurley, and some of the other prisoners. THE MOORS. —The weather on the moors has been all that man's heart could desire for the past fortnight; neither have the sportsmen who have been in pursuit of partridges and pheasants any just cause of com plaint. We may now fairly bid good-bye to the grouse season, and in many instances, unfortunately, to the grouse into the bargain, in far too many localities wherein the disease has run its direful course. If we take a retro spective glance at the returns as to the number of grouse shot this season, as compared with the returns made on previous years, we shall perhaps be rather dismayed to find that on various moors in Perthshire the grouse shot do not reach numerically to more than a fourth part as many as are usually killed, taking the general average of good seasons. In the Grieff district, we aro informed, the mortality from the disease has been so great that only a few hundred head of grouse have been bagged this year over the same acreage of moorland that last year yielded 6,000 brace ; and affairs are even worse than this, bad as it is on the moors in Yorkshire, Cumberland, and else where in England, where in many cases not a single grouse has been killed with a gun, the disease having completely decimated the birds, both old and young, and yet on one moor of about 40,000 acres in the vicinity of Kingussie we are credibly informed that a party of six guns have killed 2,200 brace of grouse. Lord Stamford, in the same district, has also first-rate sport. On each of these moors a large stock of healthy birds is left. We learn with no little regret that the grouse disease still holds on its way, as we have always predicted it would, from the effects of contagion, and up to this date exhibits but very trifling, if any, sign of abatement, and, wore* than this, continues to attack the strongest and most healthy birds, proving as rapidly fatal now as it did at its commencement in the early spring. We have scarcely anything worse to anticipate than has already been ex perienced, in so far as it concerns the terribly fatal results of the epizootic, but everything to hope that when the biting frost of winter sets in its contagious properties may be stayed or possibly destroyed.—Land and Water. v*Tv 14 kV 4i 11011 rit trot; L 0.• .

SIR,-0 wing to absence from home, I have only just seen last Wednesday evening's Sun, in which you reproduce the letter from Mr. Farrands and the " testimonial" from six working men at the Ilford Paper Mills, which are appended to Mr. Baggs's communication to tho Mining Journal of this day week. Your readers will naturally suppose that the letter and " testimonial" thus adduced by Mr. Baggs are confirmatory of his allegation that he had practised my process for the regeneration of oxide of manganese from chlorine-residues before it was patented by me. This natural supposition, however, is contrary to the fact, that letter and " testimonial" in reality not touching at all upon the point with respect to which Mr. Baggs has endea voured to raise a doubt in the minds of the public. That letter and " testimonial" do not refer to my pro cess at all, but have reference solely to a process which bears very much the same sort of relation to mine that is borne to the Bessemer process by the old process of converting iron into steel, and which, moreover, instead of having been recently invented by Mr. Baggs, was invented by the late Christopher Binks, and was patented, tried, and abandoned more than twenty-five years ago. All this is distinctly proved in a letter from me which appears in to-clay's Mining Journal, and a copy of which I have the honour to enclose. As you have given the advan tage of your circulation to the misleading " testi monial" from Mr. Farrands and the six workmen, you will see that I should suffer serious injustice unless you accorded the same advantage to the conclusive proof embodied in my letter of the direct contrary of what that " testimonial" apparently implies. That injustice I feel sure you will not sub ject me to, nor will you refuse to allow me hero to inform your readers that my letter to the Mining Journal is accompanied by letters from other gentlemen, which conclusively establish that Mr. Baggs has not yet published a single statement with respect to this matter which is other than simply and entirely false.--I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, WALTER WELDON. Raven Hotel, St. Helen's, Oct. 5. [The letter above referred to by Mr. Weldon, as having been contributed by him to the _Mining Journal of Saturday— a letter followed by other communications, upon the same subject, signed re spectively B. Coleman, C. Townsend Hook, and W. Thomas —we regret that we cannot possibly find room for in extento. Having, however, in our last reference to this correspondence, given verbatila Mr. Farrands' note, together with the testi monial of the six workmen, we cannot, in simple justice, do otherwise than at once, in answer to Mr. Weldon's request, extract from his lengthy communication to the Xining Journal of Saturday at least the one paragraph in which he takes occasion to comment, in the following terms, upon those two last-mentioned documents : ------ • " Permit me then, Sir, to point out—firstly, that what Mr. Farrands and the six workmen testify to has no bearing whatever upon Mr. Baggs's claim to having invented my process for the perpetual re generation of the oxide of manganese employed to liberate chlorine from hydrochloric acid. Mr. Far rands and the six workmen simply testify that Mr. Baggs has regenerated oxide of manganese " a° precipitated by means of lime," and that he has " used the manganese so resto r ed" f or " making fresh chlorine." This, however, is nothing to the point, which is not as to whether Mr. Baggs had ever regenerated oxide of manganese at all, but is as to whether, before I had done so, he had regenerated oxide of manganese - by the particular process patented by me. By w h a t process Mr. Baggs did treat the comparatively i ns i gn ifi cant quantit y—first spoken of as " some tons," but now magnified into " many tons"—of oxide which he regenerated at the Ilford Mills and the Tovil Upper Mills, Maid stone, I shall mention presently ; all that I call at tention to for the moment is that Mr. Farrands and i the six workm en d o not a ll ege that he treated t by the process which 1 have patented, and that their evidence therefore does not in the least sup port the allegation of Mr. Baggs that he had practised that process before it was made known 1-4 me." And, now, having given the above :commentary' upon Mr. Farrands' note and the testimonial of the six workmen, we shall hope that any possible sequel to this correspondence, or controversy rather, be tween Mr. Baggs and Mr. Weldon, as to the priority of their respective claims to the credit of having invented the new process for making chlorine, mal t be relegated to the more appropriate columns el our purely scientific contemporary.—ED. SUN.] ITALY. FLORENCE, Oct. 6 The Diritlo publishes letters from Bagnorea, stating that in the engagement between the Papal troops and the insurgents the former lost 21 pri soners, while the insurgents had three killed and two wounded.

The winter season at this theatre commenced on Saturday evening, on which occasion a new dranl 3 by Mr. Robertson, entitled " For Love," was the principal attraction. Press of matter prevents lie to-day from doing more than recording its success' The plot is exceedingly simple ; it is an illustration of the old adage—" The course of true 100 never did run smooth," the lover being a gallant soldier, and the heroine the daughter of f b deceased merchant, whose affianced husband is the choice of her late father. The principal incidell ti in the drama is an illustration of the sinking of . 1 ‘ troopship, but taken a s a th ea t r i ca l ill us i on it 1 ° very far inferior to the celebrated scene in " Flyia Scud," the Downs at Epsom. The chief parts wer e sustained by Mr. Westland, Mr. Montague, 141 :; Widdicombe, Miss Herade, Miss J. Willmore, an d Miss Stephens, and at the fall of the curtain th e applause was general and enthusiastic. ADELPHI =AI RE. Mr. Webster commenced his winter campaign 00 Saturday evening.
