It is not surprising that in both Houses of Par liament reference was made to the procession which passed through the streets of the metropolis to Hyde-park the Sunday before last. The most im portant part connected with the affair is that it was not a solitary affair. Last Sunday a procession of the same character was formed in Manchester, and one also was seen at Cork. This can hardly be con sidered as a circumstance of no moment, but the difficulty is, how are we to deal with the question, and what steps can the authorities take in the case ? The present Ministers of the Crown are certainly most unfortunate in being called upon to decide in such awkward matters. This party procession question touches upon points that are connected with dangerous consequences. It is difficult to say what is the best thing to do, to let these ill judged and ill-timed proceedings alone, or to en deavour by putting in force existing statutes, or creating some for the exigencies of the moment, to put them down with a strong hand, or at least to prevent their recurrence for the future. Mr. VANCE has signified his intention to inquire of the Irish Attorney-General whether he would consider it advisable to go on with those prosecutions which have been begun in consequence of breaches of the Party Procession Act. In the House of Lords Lord DUFFERIN moved for the police reports re lating to party processions in Ireland, and during the course of his speech on that occasion he endea voured to impress upon the Government the im portance of thoit carrying out the regulations of law throughout all Ireland, and not to suffer them selves to make any difference or distinction for party feeling or religious sentiment. This is real sincere advice, and it does credit to the noble lord's judgment and good sense. Besides this, it is a refreshing change to find a political opponent speaking out in a straightforward style without regard to illustrating the doctrines of pre judice, or making a grand effect by a denunciatory speech, and the recital of a long list of grievances, real or imaginary, as the case may be. Lord DERBY'S reply was all that can be desired. First of all, the noble lord declared that he had no sympathy with the Orange Society. As Lord DERBY emphatically declared, her MAJESTY'S Go vernment have a most difficult task before them in dealing with the various pretensions of the different denominations. It is indeed a subject of universal regret that the state of feeling which had arisen in Ireland should have been fostered by the press, and by other influences, until it became to be believed, in some quarters, that the Ministers of the Crown were induced to carry out the full penalty of the law to gratify feelings of vindictiveness and animosity. As the noble Premier described the affair at Manchester " was not a political offence, but a deliberate and premeditated murder ; that is to say, it was a pre meditated act of violence, to be supported and fol lowed up, if necessary, by murder ; therefore, without the slightest vindictive feeling—on the con trary, with a desire to carry the prerogative of mercy as far as possible, the Ministers of the law felt that it would be an absolute dereliction of their duty if they allowed a case of deliberate and premedi tated murder to pass over without such a signal example as would show that treason was not to be played with in this country, that it was an offence which involved the most serious consequences, and one that must be visited with the most serious penalty of the law." This decided language is worth noting, coming as it does from the head of the Cabinet, after so much misre presentation has been rife on the subject. It is very satisfactory to find from the remarks here made that a very decided policy will be pursued throughout the whole of Ireland, for that is the only successful course that can possibly be pursued. With regard to the recent demonstrations in Ireland, it appears that they did not infringe the existing statute, but it must be borne in mind by those who will persist in such absurdities for the future that they run a great risk, and that the slightest deviation from their narrow limits may cause great confusion, and entail serious consequences. We have scarcely ascertained the full extent of the disasters wrought by the recent hurricanes in the West Indies than from another quarter come the details of even greater devastation. On the night of Friday, Nov. 1, a cyclone raged in Bengal, de solating a vast tract of country. It is difficult indeed to estimate the amount of injuries inflicted. On land and at sea the cyclone seems to have swept all before it, and to have had no more mercy on the growing crops than on the stout vessels afloat, and to have carried down before its resistless strength the solid masonry of European buildings, as well as the slight and unsubstantial huts of the natives. In Calcutta the cyclone lasted nearly eight hours, and it is easy to imagine what mischief it could work in that space of time. It has proved more destructive to the city than its memorable pre decessor of three years since. In the suburbs more than 1,000 lives are ascertained to have been lost and 30,000 native huts destroyed. The City of Palaces is converted into a city of ruins, and in the harbour the desolation is even greater. More than 600 native boats have been destroyed, carrying with them probably several hundreds of lives. The European vessels have not, of course, escaped its effects. Many of them are missing, and others returning disabled ; even the steam transport Euphrates has had to put in tt Calcutta to THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1867.

At Port Canning a storm wave, nearly six feet high, carried away part of the river bank jetties. All along the Ganges the telegraph lines have been broken down, and the boats on the inland rivers had been for the most part destroyed. Next to the terrible destruction of human life must be ranked the damage done to the crops. Throughout the whole track of the cyclone, from the bay to Serajguni, from Burdwan and Dacca, the rice crops are greatly injured. It is feared in many places that not one fourth of the crops will be saved. The loss of the cargoes of jute and grain sunk with the river boats is also serious, and the growing jute has suffered. As might be readily supposed great distress prevails in consequence of this visitation, and the Government of Bengal, determined this time to be on the alert, are taking active measures for its relief. The Famine Relief Committee are busy collecting funds, and the Lieutenant-Governor has announced that the Government will double the amount of the subscriptions raised. The Chamber of Commerce has issued an appeal for subscriptions, and the Board of Revenue is co-operating with the Government. We may therefore hope that before Ibia vigorous and united action the worst consequences of the catas trophe may be avoided ; but it is quite evident that, notwithstanding all that has been done or may be done, the sufferings and distress occasioned by this terrible visitant are of the most serious nature. Happily the famine in Orissa is welluigh over, and rice is being sold at reduced prices. The extraor dinary prevalence of tempests and hurricanes this year affords a profitable subject of study to our meteorologists, though it is to be feared that human prescience can do little to avert the disaster, even should its approach be foreseen. London is to go on without cabs it appears, and by this time the unwarrantable decision arrived at by the combination will have caused great annoy ance, and, indeed, serious loss in some cases. The indignation which one naturally experiences at such a mode of expressing grievances is greatly augmented when it is ascertained that there are really no serious evils to complain of. The cabmen met at Exeter hall, last night, in order to concert measures to remove those clauses of the Street Act which offend them, and which they profess to think will be to their disadvantage. Lord ELCIIO appeared at the meeting, and gave it as his opinion that the duty was already too heavy without the addition of the cost of the lamp. This is very likely true, but at the same time it is not tho right way to adopt to show their opinion for the proprietors of cabs to have recourse to a strike. There is too much of this sort of thing nowadays, and if upon another occasion it should occur the Legislature would in all probability have to inter fere in the matter. The Home Secretary is to give an answer to-day upon the subject, and if it be a favourable one, it is supposed the cabs will resume work this evening. Whether it be so or not does not alter the facts of the case. Is it a right or a fitting thing that the public should be at the mercy of a combination, and that the caprice or mistake of a few are to put the general community to inconvenience and loss, besides occa sioning, in several instances, dangerous exposure to inclement weather ? There are considerations which naturally suggest themselves to the mind, and when we hear so much talk of justice, we would remind the speakers that there is no power so arbitrary, no tyranny io great, as that exercised by combinations and secret societies. If some venture to depart from the law laid down by those who set themselves up as authorities no mercy will be shown to the offender, and the cabmen of London will not find their condition improved if they resort to these practices, for if they fail substitutes can easily be found. The arrival of the Java brings us news from New York to the 19th ult. General GRANT, it is said, had, with the PRESIDENT'S sanction, ordered General SHERMAN to proceed to Washington to act as Gene ral of the Army during GRANT'S tenure of the Secre taryship of War. From this it would appear that the PRESIDENT and General GRANT are in harmony, and they are probably wise in calling SHERMAN to their aid, since he is known to incline to moderate and humane counsels. The health of TIIADDEUS STEVENS is improved, and intelligence of a later date reports that he has taken his seat in the House of Representatives. The most interesting part of the Java's news concerns Mexico. J UAREZ is learning a little more caution and moderation, since he has commuted the sentences on his pri soners, and those foreigners who adhered to the empire, as well as the higher civil officials, are to be banished, instead of the wholesale executions we were once threatened with. The same indulgence, however, has not been shown in every direction. The members of the court-martial upon General SANTA ANNA have been sentenced to four years' imprisonment for improper clemency; that is to say, they were expected to put him out of the world in a respectable manner, and so to settle a dangerous claimant to power. The Mexican Treasury is ex hausted, so the internecine struggles must soon per force cease, and some efforts made to restore inter nal tranquillity. Ihe City of Baltimore, with four days' later news, announces the meeting of Congress on Thursday, the 21st November. It adjourned till the Monday following, when the report of the Impeachment Committee on the impeachment was expected. President JOHNSON'S impeachment and JEFFERSON DAVIS'S trial are two things very often talked about, but very slow in coming to pass. Mr. DAVIS had arrived at Richmond on the 22d without any demon stration. Ills counsel deny that they have pro tested against Judge UNDERWOOD, but it is now said that Chief Justice CHASE will charge the jury, but not preside throughout the trial. The most important step yet taken in the Senate is the introduction of a resolution to pay the public debt iu coin. This will probably bring on a discussion on the position of the finances, and will elicit public opinion. The people have already learned that martial supremacy is an expensive arrangement, and General GRANT'S report, estimat ing the military appropriation necessary for the fiscal year ending June, 1869, will not alter their opinion, Ile estimates it at $77,000,000, according to the New York 7 iines; and though this is no: authenticated there is no doubt the outlay is at present very heavy. Matters, so far as we learn, are proceeding more quietly in the Southern States, where hope and confidence have been partly restored by the elections. THE NEW BISHOP OF LICHFIELD.—The Right Rev. George Augustus Selwyn, who has accepted the bishopric of Lichfield, vacant by the death of Dr. John Louis Dale, is a son of the Into Mr. William Selwyn, of Richmond, Surrey, and a brother of Sir Charles Jasper Selwyn, M.P. for the University of Cambridge, her Majesty's Solicitor-General, and of the Rev. Dr. William Selwyn, canon of Ely Cathedral, and Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. He was born in 1809, and was educated at Eton. THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The herring fishery for the current season is drawing to a close. The voyage is likely to prove a greator success for the smaller than for the larger boats, the folm3r having found their fish nearer home. The Scotch boats have made up, and some have already left for the north. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. A telegram has been received from Florence an nouncing the death of the Marquis de Tagliarcame, Minister Plenipotentiary of Italy at the Court of Portugal, who died at Florence, where he was residing on leave. The Marquis died after a very short illness. The Austrian Chamber of Lords has agreed to the second reading of the new Constitutional Law of the Empire. The project of the Commission was wholly adopted, with the amendment that all matters connected with police should be reserved for the lieichsrath. The Upper Chamber of the Grand Duchy of Baden has agreed to the new law of military orga nisation. It is not necessary to enter into explanations respecting the long discussions in the Senate upon the interpellations, because that body marked its sense of the important display of the Opposition by proceeding to the order of the day. In other words, it gave its opinion that all the " sound and fury' exhibited about Italy and the Roman question signified nothing. The result may be considered as one more emphatic vote of confidence in the Emperor and his Ministers. The explanations of the Marquis de Moustier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, proved that there was no foundation for the allegation of M. lo Pelletan, which Inoticed that the Government had concealed, or wished to conceal, anything in regard to its fo reign policy. The Constitutionnel remarks upon the " admir able" speech of M. Darboy, the Archbishop of Paris, in which he says " that the Frenchman and the Christian aro one," and in which the wisest ideas are mixed with the most generous aspirations of the heart. " With what respect," says the Constitutionnel, " does M. Darboy speak of the Holy See 1 but with what Christian charity does he allude to his enemies. He pities them more than he hates them. Besides, with what noble reserve does he ask explanations from the Government of his country. It is not to create embarrassment—it is not to raise obstacles, it is rather to afford it an op portunity once more, and in a solemn circumstance, to manifest its projects and its hopes. The eruptions at Mount Vesuvius are of such a ormidable and peculiar character as to excite more than usual interest. It is somewhat remarkable that the phenomena they present are in exact con formity with the calculations and theory which M. Elie de Beaumont explained months ago in the Academy of Science. On the night of the 13th of November, to the right of the two cones of the erruption of Vesuvius last year, a new crater was opened. In the middle of the great cone near Bozico Realo another crater was opened, from whence issued a current of lava. In the same direction, and precisely in the locality of the lava of last year, two other smaller craters have been made, from whence masses of stones are precipi tated in all directions. The principal cone has burst in many places, in consequence of the violent shocks it has received. The speech of the Marquis de Moustier is gene rally considered to have afforded the most triumpb - ant answer to all the carpings and insinuations of the Opposition in regard to the policy of the Govern ment towards Italy. In the Senate ho was warmly congratulated, and out of doors, and by the influ ential portion of the press it is admitted that he has triumphantly and demonstratively disposed of all the unfounded denunciations of the interpellators. The Government has achieved a more marked and triumphant success than usual. Contradictory reports continue in circulation about the Congress. One thing, however, is certain : the Pope, as I informed you, consents to it. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, in his speech to the Chamber, said that the following was the answer of his Holiness to the invitation to send a represen tative : "I shall send a Plenipotentiary to the Congress, who will maintain all my rights." The extent to which sensation news is manufac tured in Paris is somewhat alarming. It is known that the Pope has been ill. The Figaro improves upon the fact and announces he is dead ! Your readers should receive with great caution the mis cellaneous news sent from Paris by telegraph. The wind again prevailed with terrific violence last night. Accounts from all quarters speak of the damage done by it on Saturday night. The roof of the reserved garden of the Exhibition was com pletely torn away, and its:effects arc very percept ible in many parts of the Champ de Mars. It was the most violent tempest that has been known for many years. To-day it has been more calm, but the cold was peculiarly felt. It has snowed fre quently during the day, and it snows as I close my letter. The Advent sermons commenced yesterday. The congregation at Notre Dame was immense to hear the Pere Hyacinthe. It included some of the most eminent people in Paris. Father Hyacinthe is to give six conferences. The subject is the con naction of social order with Christianity. PARIS, Tuesday Evening. The wth he bj Body was yesterday again occu pied subject of Italy, and a speech of M. Legislative s u Jules Favre consumed about the whole of the sit ting. He blamed the policy of the French Govern ment relative to the Roman question, and particu larly condemned the last expedition of French troops. The subject seems nearly exhausted, and there was nothing new or important in the argu ments and denunciations of M. Favre. In the course of his remarks, M. Favre said, "Our troops supported the Pontifical corps with their arms, brought to such perfection that they made the men fall like blades of corn under the sickle of the hus bandman." (Interruption,) A Voice—That is an insult to the Army. M. Jules Favre—From whence arose th• phrase which has produced such a sensation in Europe, " the Chassepot gun did wonders," (Noisy inter ruption.) Pelletan—This is an indignity. (Noise.) _ . M. Favre—l understand. I submit to the ne cessities of war; but I confess that I am grieved at finding in a report that glorification at the destruc tion of man. (New interruption.) And that phrase not only wounded French hearts, but it was received in Italy with indescribable emotion. (In terruption.) Yes, the emotion in Italy was such that there was a cry of indignation against France. (Noise.) M. Glair-Bizoni—Would you have desired that Italy should hare responded by a cry of love? The further discussion of the subject was ad journed until this day. A letter from Florence, emanating from an au thentic source, states that General Menabrea, the new President of the Italian Ministry, made a pro posal to Garibaldi, while he was still at Varignano, that he could give him his full and complete liberty upon the condition that he should pledge his word not to occupy himself with politics. The General, it is stated, met the proposal with a decided refusal. The only engagement which he said he would make was that he would appear at the first request of the judicial authority, with the consent of the Chamber of Deputies. The Italian official Gazette contradicts a report which had been industriously circulated by some of the Roman journals that fresh bands of volunteers had appeared on the Pontifical frontiers. Perfect. tranquillity continues to prevail. In the speech of the Archbishop of Paris, in the Senate, his Eminence pronounced a strong opinion in favour of a Congress to regulate the affairs of Italy. His Eminence said:—" Who could desire a Conference unless it were to preserve the spiritual and temporal interests of the Holy See, and to give satisfaction to consciences ? Is it then possible that a Government could refuse to occupy itself with the religious convictions of its subjects? Is it pos sible that a Government should show itself less careful of the moral than the material interests of the people? (Very good, very good.) Could Eng land, could Prussia, forget their Catholic subjeets ? I see only too many reasons for the meeting of a Cougres.3, and policy as well as morality, is greatly interested in the matter. The politician, in fact, j cannot set aside authority and the law, and should • always watch over the principle that right should prevail over force. (Very good.) For myself, in a political, moral, and religious point of view, I think the Conference ought to assemble, and if we are to believe communications, without an official character, it is true, but sufficiently authorised, the Holy Father and Italy have accepted in principle the project of the Government of tho Emperor."

The account of the great lady who recently died has recalled to recollection the death of a great man, M. Elb Levy, which took place in Paris about two years ago, aged 51. His sufferings during a long illness made him much thinner, but at his decease he weighed above 500 English pounds. When in health his weight was more than 600 lbs, and he was the terror of all the cabmen, who whip ped their horses and drove off whenever they caught a glimpse of him. For years previously he had given up riding in an omnibus, for there was not one in Paris which was wide enough for him to enter, and if he could have got up outside his weight would have destroyed the equilibrium. So at least it;was said. A suggestion once made was that he should take two places, one inside and one outside. M. Levy was a man of education. For a long time he was connected with newspapers at Paris and at Brussels, but he abandoned the pro fession for something more lucrative—the sale of lucifer matches and postage stamps of all countries. lie used to say that matches enlightened the world, and newspapers confused it. The 111 oniteur contains a despatch from Rome, announcing that General de Failly and his Staff, who had remained in that city after the departure of the troops, definitively left Rome yesterday for Civita Vecchia, to embark for France. The session of the Italian Senate will be opened on Friday, when it is expected that some exciting discussions will take place upon the Roman ques tion, and in reference to Garibaldi. _ _ More than 3,000 persons were present at the first conference of Father Hyacinthe, at Notre Dame on Sunday. A solemn funeral service was performed yester d-►y at the Church of St. Sulpice, " for the repose of the souls of the Pontifical and French soldiers who died while fighting at Montana for the defence of the Church." There has been another attempt at murder in Paris. Indeed, it is to be feared that the attempt will be successful. A young man, employed by a manufacturer of mouldings for furniture, in the Rue St. Antoine, was recently discharged by his master, in consequence of his irregular habits. The young man went to the manufactory on Sunday night about ten o'clock, and watched for the arrival of his late master. As soon as the master reached the door the assassin plunged a dagger knife into his breast. The wounds are of a very serious, if not mortal, character. The murderer was arrested at his lodgings near the Bastille, and the dagger was found upon him. Decidedly they manage illustrated publications better in England than in France, and such 1 think will be the opinion of your readers when I describe the last efforts of a weekly illustrated paper, the Univers lllustre. Last week this specimen of art contained two portraits, one of M. Pinard, the new Minister of the Interior, and the other the " coun terfeit presentment" of M. Magne, the great finan ' cialist. This week it says some of its subscribers complained that there was no likeness in the por traits. In fact the Univers confesses that by a mistake in photography the portraits were changed, The excuse does not go for much. In truth, the portrait of M. Magne is as much like that gentleman as it is like M. Pinard, and the por trait of M. Pinard is as much like M. Magne as it is like M. Pinard. This week the Univers out-Herods Herod in its chief engraving, which re presents the opening of the English Parliament. The artist was no doubt present, but he does not seem to understand that the session was opened by Commission, for her Majesty figures prominently in the engraving of the scene in the House of Lords. This is not all. The Lord Chancellor is seen with the Royal Speech iu his hand, and the gentleman who describes the ceremony tells the reader that the " engraving represents the Lord Chancellor reading the Speech to her Majesty." How invaluable would such a chronicler have been to Richardson to de scribe what was to be seen at the fair. He could have gone beyond the showman who had a picture of the battle of Waterloo. When asked by a little boy which was Napoleon and which was the Duke of Wellington, the showman politely replied, "which ever you like, my little dear. You pays your niouey, and you takes your choice." LATEST INTELL IGEN CE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AME ctICA. PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. The following is a summary of President John son's Message to Congress : " The expectation of au easy restoration of the Union has been disappointed by Congressional legislation. No Union exists, as our fathers under stood it, but I still hope that all will finally concur in a settlement consistent with the country's inte rest and the Constitution.' " Mr. Johnson urges Congress to repeal the act placing the South under military rule, a rule which, if continued, will increase taxation, and may finally produce national bankruptcy. A standing army and an expenditure of over two hundred million dollars per annum would probably be required to maintain the supremacy of negro government. " Referring to the extent of the Executive duty to oppose unconstitutional legislation, Mr. Johnson says that if Congress should pass an act, even through all the forms of law, to abolish a co-ordi nate department of the Government of the country, the President mast take the high responsibility of his office to save the life of the nation at all hazard. " IVith regard to the currency question, Mr. Johnson says that a return to specie payments is the obvious duty of the Government at the earliest moment consistent with sound principles of politicil economy. A reduction of the currency need not necessarily follow. A sound currency should be restored, . and the public faith regarding the debt should be sacredly observed. A return to specie payments would remove the prejudice which may arise against paying the earnings of the masses and the bondholders in a currency not uniform. " Treating of the finances of the country the Message states that last year the receipts were four hundred and ninety million dollars, and the ex penses three hundred and forty-six millions. According to the estimates, next year's receipts will he four hundred and seventeen millions, and the expenses three hundred and ninety-three millions. The War Department estimate is seventy-seven millions. " Alluding to foreign affairs, Mr. Johnson states that no question has seriously disturbed the coun try's foreign relations. The Alabama claim is still unsettled, and Mr. Johnson says he felt it his duty to decline arbitration in the matter, because, as hitherto proposed, it would be accompanied by re servations incompatible with the rights and interests of the country. Mr. Johnson adds----' No appre hension need be felt that Great Britain will persist in refusing to satisfy th.se just and reasonable claims, involving, as they do, the principle of non intervention, which henceforth is not more impor tant to America than to other nations.' " The Message further announces that a treaty has been concluded with Denmark for the cession to the United States of the islands of St. Thomas and St. John. " Mr. Johnson also urges Congress to declare that the naturalisation of a foreigner or a citizen of the United States absolves the recipient from alle giance to the sovereign of his native country." The report of the Secretary of the Treasury, sent to Congress, estimates the receipts for three quar ters, ending in June next, at $296,000,000, and the expenses at $ 2 95,000,000. The receipts for the year ending in June, 1869, are estimated at $381,000,000, and the expenses at $372,000,000. The public debt has been reduced by over $59,000,000 since November last. The Secretary of the Treasury strongly advocates a contraction of the currency, the payment of the principal of the bonds in gold, and the continuance of the national banks. lie also recommends the conversion of the whole of the National Debt into Six Per Cent. Bonds, redeemable in 20 years, the Government to retain one-sixth of the interest, with the view of distributing it proportionately among the different States instead of allowing the States to tax the bonds.

In Committee of the Upper House of the Reichs rath yesterday the debate came on upon the amend ments to the constitution laid before the House. Baron Beust made a long statement respecting the attitude observed by the Government towards the Upper House, and dwelt upon the necessity of its advances being met in a corresponding spirit. The amendments relating to medical legislation, right of domicil and education, were rejected; the arrangements respecting registers of landed pro perty were referred to the Diet ; and the clause regarding the power of decision by the Emperor in doubtful cases of competence between the Reichs rath and the Diet was not carried. The other amendments were passed. ROME AND AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Dec. 4. It is stated that the Imperial Cabinet has notified at Rome that the course of legislation will be pur sued without regard to the obligations of the Con cordat, if the Pope declines to release the Emperor as a constitutional Sovereign from the treaty into which he entered while ruling as an absolute monarch. BAVARIA. MUNICH . , Dec. 3 (Evening). At the sitting of the Upper House of the Bava rian Diet to-day, the committee brought in a report recommending the adoption of the bill regulating the exercise of the different trades, mainly in the form in which it had been sent up by. the Lower House. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. ST. PETERSBURG'', Dec. 3 (Evening). The semi-official Journal de St. Petersboury per ceives with regret that the documents published by the French Government in the yellow-book present Eastern affairs in an improbable aspect, and very imperfectly explain the negotiations that have taken place as to the question of Crete. They not only represent the form in which the collective declara tion of the Powers was issued in a modified shape, but they even weaken the extent of its application. The Journgl adduces, in proof of the correctness of its views, the unalterable refusal of the Cabinet of Vienna, in its note of the sth, to join in the collec tive declaration. had that declaration possessed the sense and bearing the documents published in the yellow-book would lead public opinion to be lieve Baron Beust would have signed it uithout hesitation. ITALY. FLORENCE, Dec. 4. A number of important arrests have recently been made in various towns of Italy on political grounds. BOMBAY MAIL. MARSEILLES, Dec. 4. The Poonah anchored off the port last night, and entered the harbour at 7.30 a.m. to-day, having been delayed by heavy weather. The mail leaves for London at 11.30 a.m. PLYMOUTH, Dec. 4. The Royal mail steamship Shannon has arrived in the Sound. The mails from Brazils and the River Plate are now being landed hero. FRANCE.

WOOLCOTT V. TIIELLUSSON.—ThiS was an action (before the Lord Chief Justice and special juries) to recover £3OO upon a bill of exchange. The defendant pleaded never indebted and fraud. The plaintiff is a trainer, re siding at Woodford, near Salisbury, and the action was brought upon a bill of exchange for £3OO, the value of a racehorse, named Ropley, which the defendant had pur chased of the plaintiff. Before the learned counsel had concluded his opening address to the jury the defendant withdrew the plea of fraud, and a verdict for the full amount was taken for the plaintiff, subject to a reference of the points of dispute between the parties to Lord Ports mouth. INTERESTING DISCOVERY.—A dealer in old books at Cockermouth while examining the other day a folio copy of George Fox's Journal, printed in 1601, discovered that beneath the fly-leaf, which had bmn pasted down' was concealed a military pass signed by Oliver Cromwell. It reads as follows :—" Permitt the bearer hereof, Georg, Illingworth, of Kirkbyo, Esq., to passe about his lawful] ocasions, he being no ways disaffected towards the Plia meats. Given under my hande and scale this 1 day of February, IG4B. 0. CRoMWELL. To all officers and soul diers and others whom it may concerno." The' signature is bold; but the seal is torn away. Some 150 tradesmen appointed to their Royal Highnesses tho Prince and Princess of Wales cele brated tho anniversary of her Royal Highness's birthday, with a ball last evening. The general arrangements, under the direction of 20 stewards, and the honorary secretary, Mr. Molten, were most successful. The various loyal toasts at the supper wore proposed by Mr. W. C Brown.
