Mean while they have been rat;b er oddly preparing their appetites for this porringer -full of water-gruel, by devouring, first of all, the whipped syllabubs of Lord PALAIERSTON , and afterwards the highly-spiced meats of M. KOOST7TH. The flavour of these latter condiments still tingle hotly on the palate. Insomuch that, as a gourmand might say after a repast on devilled 'bones and curry, we have still la bouch,e in feu ! tO, those " spiced" sentences of the great Hungr ian Exile ! 0 for one momentary taste of their caloric upon the frozen lips of our grand, obsequious, laissez-faire, do-nothing, detestable diplomsicy ! Lips between which, as the homely saying liens, even butter would not melt ! 0 for one dash of that fiery ingredient into the vapid mess concocted at the Paris Conferences ! Alas ! M. KOSSUTH still speaks merely as an Exile—nest, as in 1849, as one of the Earth's Great Rulf;rs—as he yet may speak again authoritatively (Gon willing) in the glorious days still, lot us belienve, reserved for the Hungarians ! Nevertheless even now in 1856, after five long years of bitter and heart-wearying expatriation, M. KOSSUTH even now, we say, speaks through Manchester to England, through England to Europe, in some sort authoritatively. He is a man of mark so undeniable in his fallen greatness, that what he utters cannot be passed by at any time with idle or phlegmatic indifference. He must be listened to, he will be heard, though his home be a quiet, out-of-the-way house near the Regent's-park, though he vegetates obscurely for the time being as a private gentleman, though he has no longer (as he had in '49) an army, and a senate, and a people, and an administration. He may be under the " taboo" of Austria, but he is "at large" in England. He has an audience— whenever and wherever he pleases—in England. He has admirers and appreciators still in England. And so—his speeches are listened to, are printed, are read, are pondered over. And so—the Exile retains still in some sort the grandeur and impor tance of an Institution. Heartily do we coincide in the opinion expressed as recently as yesterday in Manchester by M. KOSSUTH during the course of the remarkable oration, the substance of which will be found given in another part of our impres sion of this evening—an opinion enunciated in the form of a strong and solid belief that Italy, Poland, and Hungary will yet be the watchwords of freedom to Europe and the forerunners of good government in Christendom. At the same time we don't by any means pin our faith to M. KossuTu's views upon all things generally. We cannot, for example, recognise either the grace or the reason of his sneers at what he calls " the absurd theories" of M. DE LAMARTINE. Neither can we participate in the smallest degree in his taunts, pronounced as it were over the grave of King CHARLES ALBERT of Sardinia. Perfection is, of course, neither discern able in the Poet-Statesman of France, nor yet again in the Soldier-Sovereign of the Piedmontese. But respect is so far due to both one and the other : for inasmuch as the latter died in the cause of Italian Independence, while the former im perilled everything—his Fame, his Life, his For tunes—when, with a matchless heroism, he grasped the holm of the state-vessel of his country, when it was drifting all at random amcngst materials " ready for the burning," materials prepared to break at a single touch into one universal confla gration. M. KOSSUTH is not deaf always to the dictates of magnanimity. Let him listen to their secret voice within the recesses of his conscience when next he treats of Italy in relation to King CHARLES ALBERT, or of France in reference to M. DE LAMARTINE. Italy, it is true, has yet to discover her veritable Patriot-Representative. As Poland has yet to reveal herself incarnate in the person of a great Tribune, prepared to be GOD'S instrument for her Emancipation. But Hungary has at least her incentive in KOSSUTH, and France her day-dream of democratic glory in LAMARTINE. Ministers are again actively , engaged in making preparations for the forthcoming session of Par liament. The first Cabinet Council was held yes terday at the official residence of the Premier, and we may, without pretending to any extraordinary degree of prescience, anticipate that similar meet ings will be of frequent occurrence. The Pre mier has already, by his speeches at Manchester, Liverpool, and in the City of London, thrown considerable light upon the foreign policy of the Government, and has received the unqualified approbation of the community at large. But there are various questions of domestic interest in which we are still completely in the dark, not the slightest indication having been afforded of the Ministerial intentions. There are matters in which an immediate " pressure from without" is of paramount importance, inasmuch as the deli berations of the Cabinet may thereby be directed with proper directions, and points, that might otherwise be overlooked, treated in the manner which the interests of the nation imperatively demand. First amongst these is the consideration of the Bank Charter Act and the future monetary policy of Great Britain. We have repeatedly explained the present position of this great question. The Act of 1844 has virtually expired. Notice may at any time be given for the termination of the existing law, after an interval of twelve months, and no time should be lost in adopting the necessary course to obtain " free trade in money," or, what is perhaps the more correct expression, "free trade in currency." The present monetary code has been " weighed in the balance and found Wanting." It has signally failed in realising the anticipations on which it was founded. In place of maintaining an equable value of money, it has produced fluctuations more extensive and more disastrous than had occurred at any former period since the first charter of the " Old Lady." At one time there was a plethora of cash ; the wildest speculations were stimulated. Money was lite rally a "drop • procured oa th e la the market," which could be easiest terms, for almost any con ceivable. purpose. Shortly afterwards it could scarcely be obtained for the most legitimate trans was shaken. trans actions. Industry was paralysed, The credit of i houses of unquestionable solvency The requisite facilities could not be obtained, not from any doubts as to the stability of the borrow ers, or the due liquidation of the debt, but because th e re was a scarcity of the circulating medium, and the nation was placed in the position o f t h e family described by LOCKE , each me m b er whereof was pulling at the "sca nty ceverlid " which was inadequate to supply warmth to th e entire party. The most bitter privations Were thus enforced on the creators and producers of wealth, and the public revenue suffered in conse quence, from their inability to consume exciseable articles, which would have added to the receipts of the Treasury. It is sufficient to direct attention to the proceedings of the early part of 1845, and the latter portion of 1847. At one period there was a mania—at the other a panic. The wildest speculations were supported during the former ; the most legitimate projects could not be carried on during the latter. There was a great expansion of the currency, when a judicious financier would have discovered the necessity of a considerable contraction, and when judicious aid was required for trade and manufac ture it could not be afforded, because the position of the quasi National Bank incapacitated it from providing adequate means. The experience of a dozen years proved that the operation of the so called " self-acting regulator" of the currency was exactly what it ought not to have been ; that it invariably moved in the wrong direction, occa sioning grievous mischief, whether in its direct or retrograde progress. Seldom, if ever, have the signs displayed by the monetary barometer been of a more inauspi cious character, and there are no extrinsic tokens to induce any well-founded anti cipations of improvement. The bullion in both departments is little more than nine millions and a half-9,596,327/.—but little more than was available in October, 1847 ; while the reserve of notes is less than three millions -2,948,6651.-nor more than a million short of the amount which is deemed requisite for the efficient working of the banking department. The mini mum rate of discount is fixed at a rate as exorbi- ' taut as was ever known, save while the act was suspended ; and there are significant symptoms of other restrictions being speedily added, or, in Threadneedle-street parlance, a further turn of the monetary screw being applied in tke Bank Parlour. Tarious measures have been suggested, but all are milkier calculated to enhance than to alleviate the pressure. In fact, the time has arrived when the directors must look to the interests of the proprietors of Bank stock rather than of the general public. The drain of bullion still continues, and the exchanges are by no means in a condition to warrant the expectation that the tide will speedily turn. The time has therefore (game when the Government must declare its intentions, that the people may know what they have to look forward, and not be led blind fold into the snares spread for their reception. It is the duty of the Government to exhibit a warning light, and Lord PALMERSTON would find that another appearance either in London or the provinces would materially add to his popularity and strengthen his Government. The sooner the course is decided and announced the better for all parties. We trust that the hint may not be disre garded, but that the Palmerston Administration may put forward a new claim to public support by its polioy on this all-important question. Mr. EDWIN JAMES, Q.C., has offered a hand some bidding for the support of the electors of Kingston-upon-Hull. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman has explained his views on some of the most important and leading questions of the dty, and we are bound to say that they are such as to satisfy the just expectations of the most zealous and ener getic reformers. We need not say that the vacancy which Mr. JAMES aspires to fill has been created by the well merited promotion of Mr. Baron WATSON to the judicial bench ; and Mr. JAMES, by his programme, proves that he is prepared to follow, on all political questions, in the footsteps of the late member. The Learned Gentleman explains that he has not come forward to divide the Liberal interest. On the contrary, it is to prevent that interest from being misrepresented, in consequence of the in competency of Mr. CLAY to take his seat, that he solicits the suffrages of the constituency. If Mr. CLAY could take his seat Mr. JAMES would do nothing to jeopardise his interests ; but as there is too much reason to fear, that is im possible, the L2arnod Gentleman comes forward to oppose the common enemy—to prevent the triumph of a Tory for a Liberal borough. The views which he has enunciated respecting the extension of the franchise, Church-rates, and beyond all " the ballot," are such as to entitle him to the support of every true-hearted Liberal. His great and varied experience renders his testimony in favour of the only adequate pro tection to the voter of immense value, and we earnestly hope that the Liberals of Hull may not lose the opportunity of sending to Parliament an advocate so well qualified to support the views of Mr. H. BERKELEY, by removing one of the most serious blots on the national escutcheon. His views on foreign policy are equally unex ceptionable. And we sincerely trust that we shall be enabled to congratulate the electors of Kingston-upon-Hull on having obtained so efficient a representative of their wants and wishes, and the community at large on so useful an addition to the popular branch of the Legislature. EDWIN JAMES is the strenuous and unflinching advocate for the extension of civil and religious liberty, the security of the voter, and the maintenance of the dignity and honour of Great Britain in all parts of the world. In considering the plan for the Southwark Im provements, now engaging the attention of the Chief Commission er of Works, two guiding principles must be held constantly in view. These are to consult public convenience, and to promote sanitary im provement as much as possible, consistently with the nature of the undertaking. To these two principles every other can be but secondary in the estimation of a civilised community. Under this conviction, we yesterday pointed out a mode whereby the Chief Commissioner might be afforded two additional days for the examination of the plan, so that the decision he is pledged to come to might be arrived at under circumstances more favourable to correctness than so extremely brief a period as throe days could afford. This we may as well repeat. It was to have the re quired Parliamentary notices inserted in a Satur day's edition of the Surrey papers, which we showed was alike practicable and desirable. We also took occasion to point out the propriety of passing through, instead of avoiding, the Borough Market, in order to insure a nearer approach to the London Bridge stations, and a wider entrance to the new street. A more central and far more commodious site may easily, and even cheaply, be found for the Borough Market further inland, in the vicinity of Great Dover-street, and thus confer a double benefit on the public without any special detriment to individual or corporate in terest. No one will begrudge fair compensation. Following up our remarks of yesterday, we would now draw attention to the propriety of adopting such an arrangement as, without sacri ficing directness of route, will enable us to get rid of as many low and unhealthy blocks of houses as may be necessary to make up the space re quired for the new street. As we then remarked the improvements to be effected would not be of a tem parary but of a permanent nature, little or no prospe c t ex i s ti ng o f an y improvement on them, however desirable, being eff,cted f,;r many a long year to come—inferring from this consideration and others the propriety, not to say the necessity, of doing, what is called, for thoroughly and well, which we submit would not be the case if sani tary considerations were overlooked. We would also impress on the minds of the Chief Commis sioner of Works and the Metropolitan Board the duty of providing the best possible approaches to the bridges and railway stations existing as well as to be built above London-bridge. The metro polis is something more than the city and borough boundaries, and its general interests, as well as those of particular parts, demand the care ful consideration of those who are entrusted with the oversight of the whole. The health of the Borough and the convenience of pas sengers, by rail and otherwise, we therefore trust will not be overlooked ; but, on the con trary, hope that everything will be done that c be expected to meet the wants, and accord with the enlightened spirit of the age, which regards the future as well as the present, the health as wall as the commerce and material prosperity of the community at large. If the public are really desirous of Omnibus Reform, the matter is now in their own hands. They have before them the two essentials—an omnibus which is as great an improvement as we can well conceive of upon the old ones, and the opportunity to enforce its introduction. In regard to the vehicle, we have carefully and minutely inspected it at the maker's in Drury lane, and can therefore confidently pronounce that it leaves little if anything to be desired ; and that little, not appreciable except by a close scrutiny, will be supplied in the very next one which is built. It is an admirable public car riage, and well deserves the title of " Saloon Omnibus ;" for the arrangement of the seats, by which so much convenience to passengers is secured, reminds you of a room with settees of various kinds tastefully dispsed by the lady of the house. But taste to an omnibus traveller is of course a secondary matter. We want seats not over-crowded, and height and room to reach and quit them without unpleasant encounters with the roof, or with the knees of our fellow-passengers. We want, also, air to breathe, light after dusk, better means of communication with the conductor than sticks, umbrellas, and parasols, and for those who take the outside by preference, or because " it's full inside," something better than irons to climb up on more adapted to a tar than to a landsman, and something more pleasant than the ambitious and leg-wearying elevation of " the knife-board." A long catalogue of wants these, yet we think they are fairly met by the omnibus we have just inspected. How shall we describe it ? One glance of "the faithful eyes" would do it best for any of cur readers. To begin where travellers begin : when the driver has pulled tolerably near the kerb-stone, a gentleman, and even a lady, will ordinarily step easily from the pavement unto the foot-board without venturing into the mud. The back presents a centre board for the conductor, and two doors, one at each side, for the passengers ; hence the steps for the passengers extend each way as far as the width of the vehicle permits. Suppose you enter by the near-side door, at which eleven of the "twelve inside" enter, you see before you, net over your head, neat brasses to take hold of and to steady your movements, and save you from annoying - yourself or others by an accidental lunge right or left. A wide and level floor also helps you to preserve the erect position, the es sublime, said to be the honour of our species. But if you happen to be amongst the early corners, what a choice of seats for you ! At the further end you see a most comfortable easy chair, back to horses—room for but one there, of course the chairman of the party. Thre e may have the honour of sitting on his right hand, and four that of taking his left. At the end of each of those seats there is gratuitous accommoda tion for those most annoying of all passengers, wet umbrellas. Eight have thus found pleasant bertha. Three more find theirs on a centre seat near the door ; but the favoured twelfth, as we have made him by beginning at the wrong end, for he will generally be the first, whore is he to go ? W hy, all by himself ; that is from the elbows downwards, in a pleasant little seat of his own, at the back of the last mentioned three passengers. He enters by the offside door, and his pockets, his clothes, his knees, and all that appertains to him are as secure as if he were riding in his own brougham. It i 3 the Beet for a lady and her infant. Our only fear is that our richer neigh bours will hire it by the quarter, at a rate above what we should like. The outside you ascend with ease, by good, avail able steps, and when there you find yourself com fortably seated, eight of you, vi,3-a-vis, at no frightful elevation, and your knees and feet in a position of ease. The other four sit, as usual, with the driver ; but an arrangement is made to save y o u from inconvenient contact with his elbows. The ventilation can be as much or little as is wished. The communication with the con ductor is simple and effective, by means of a powerful bell close to him ; and eight inches in creased width in tho interior give perfect freedom of movement to the seven who sit facing each other. Here, then, we have the first desideratum —an omnibus for the sake of which we should be heartily glad to turn all the old ones off the road. Of course, no one can say what further improvements may be made ; but here is improve ment far more than enough to determine the public to tolerate nothing inferior to it. We have at least " first caught our hare." Now for carrying our point. We may compel the adoption of the omnibuses. A company is formed under the Limited Liability Act (see our advertising columns) to carry it out. The names of APSLEY PELLATT, Esq., Sir JAMES EYRE, Alderman Sir 11. W. CARDEN, and Mr. Alderman CARTER, as patrons and honorary referees, aro sufficient to assure the public that they are in the hands of men of business and honour. The shares are b u t 1/. eac h, a nd therefore open to all. Is it not well wor th w hile for all residents in the suburbs especially to take a few shares ? One pound, or fiv e p oun d s , ve ry generally subscribed, would raise the requisite amount. The liability would be closed with the payment ; and one thing is certain, that if from subsequent competition, or any other cause, the company failed, it would have compelled a universal improvement of the omnibuses. Few of us would be unwilling to put down two pounds or five pounds, if all the omnibuses in London were certain to becom e " Saloon Omnibuses." And we think it is abso lutely certain that this result must follow. We should secure almost the difference between first , class and third-class railway accommodation, and at least at fares not exceeding those now charged. We should like the meritorious patentee and the company to su ccee d , an d we see no reason why they should n o t b ecome a paying company but did or not, we should have carried whether they our main poi n t, an d h ave obtained an omnibus in which both ladi es an d gen tlemen could ride with a degree of comfort now unknown. We should recommend the company to canvass the suburbs from house to house. A very large constituency of shareholders would give the public full power to keep the managers of the omnibuses to their duty, and we should think that not many would grudge a pound or two to abate an inconvenience they have so long complained of.

Last evening Mr. Charles Dillon repeated his aarnir lble imperson3tion of Claude Melnotte, in Bulwer's •squisi:e Play of The Lady of Lyon—the dra,cuatic easterplece of the great Living Crichton of English Literature. Altogether it is a very noble, graceful, ind touching representation—this embodiment, by Mr. Dillon, of Pvlelnotte's poetic and romantic character. It :ends yet more signally to confirm the artist's repu tation. It attests the reality of his histrionic genius— 'or nothing less than genius can hold such an instant and perfect mastery over the well-springs of our nature. The applause won from us by this gifted actor is the tpplause not so much of head as of heart. Whenever ne lists so to do—he commands our tears by a look, ey a tone, by the throes of emotion subtly passing over his lineaments, by the tender and thril ling cadence of his declamation. It was so, again and again, last evening. This simple record of the fact is surely the moat earnest panegyric that could well be pronounced. It constitutes the most spontaneous, and, therefore, the most reliable, tribute of admiration. It is our bunch of flowers, our wreath of bay, our sprig of immorteliee, flung to the artiste's feet ia the hour of his triumph. Mr. Dillon's audience happily appreciate his powers to the full. Witness the enthusiasm with which he was greeted last -evening, not merely here and there throughout the piece while it was acting, but when he was twice etuamoned before the foot lights to have the applause of the moment confirmed by fresh acclamations. The success inaugurated by the Mountebank "Belphegor," and enhanced by the Gascon " D'Artagnan," has been at once justified and extended by the artiste's remarkable delineation of " Melnotte," the Lyormaise Gardener. As a token of Mr. Dillou's natural genius fur the pathetic—thrilling from the actor's lips into the innermost heart of his hearers— ' note the tone of that cry with which, as Claude Mel notte, he echoes the inquiry of his mother if he were ashamed of her in her poverty " Ashamed ?"—rushing back to him as he utters the word, and clasping her in his arms with impassioned eagerness. It is a cry, a gesture, a glance, a movement instantaneously expressive of the gentlest reverence and of the most ineffable tenderness. It is another exemplar of that "one touch of nature of which the poet sings, that it " makes the whole world kin." We see the stage through brimming eyes, and our emotions are the evidences of our admiration. While Mr. Dillon is thus winning his way securely with the London public as an actor of rare part;, he is gaining " golden opinions" as the lessee of the Lyceum Theatre by the enterprise dis played in through managerial arrangements. As afford ing new evidence of which we may notice the circum stance, that to-morrow evening there will be represented for the first time upon the boards of the Lyceum a grand romantic drama (" with powerful scenic and mechanical effects" according to;the'pla,y-bills),'entitled " Fabian, or La Mesaliiance." CITI OR LONDON THEATRE. The brilliant engagement of Mr. and Miss Vanden boll closes on Saturday next, when we are to have a faith ful copy of " Dred," the management having devoted a considerable period to the perfection of this great drama. The various incidents have been heightened by Mr. Nelson Lee. To render full justice to this admirable work, new scenery throughout will form a principal feature, giving the dismal swamp in all its fearful reality, tha death of the slave by the dog, and death of the dog, will be fully carried out in strict accordance with the intention of the talented authoress. " Giraldi" will follow this production on Monday night, and we understand that " Belphegor" wid be produced in a superior style on the Monday following. A visit to the City will be attended with great gratification. It is generally understood that the Attorney-General, Sir A. Cockburn, has accepted the Chief-Justiceship of the Common Pleas, but up to the hour of going to press this rumour has not been confirmed. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing-street. The Ministers present were— Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Gran ville, the Marquis of Lansdowne; the Earl of Harrowby, Sir George Grey, Earl of Clarendon, Mr. Secretary Labouchere, Lord Panczure, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Sir Charles Wood, the Right Ron. R. Vernop Smith, Lord Stanley of Alderley, the Right Hon. M. T. Baines, and the Duke of Argyll. A deputation, consisting of Mr. M. Smith, M.P. ; Mr. Houghton, Chairman of CommissionerA of Improve ment, Gravesend.; Messrs. Bitchburn and Dobson ; Mr. Southgate, clerk to the Commissioners ; the Mayor of Gravesend, Mr. Aid. Hill, Mr. Councillor Gould, and Mr. Sharland, town clerk, had an interview with the Right Hon Sir B. Hall:, eAerday, at the Office of Public Works, Whitehall-place. Despatches for the Governors of the Australian colo nies were sent last evening from the Colonial-office, The Duchess (Emily) of Beaufort and the Ladies Somerset have arrived in town, from Baiminster, Glou cestershire. The Marquis of Salisbury, who came to town on Monday, to attend the Lord Mayor's banquet, returned yesterday to Hatfield House, Herts. The Marquis of Lansdowne arrived at Lansdowne House, yesterday, from Bawood Park, Wilts, in order to attend the Cabinet Council. Viscount and Viscountess Villiers have arrived at Upton Ilan, Waraickshire, from visiting the Earl and Countess of Jersey, at Middleton Park, near Dcester. Sir Charles and Lady Mary Wood arrived at the right hon. baronet's official residence at the Admiralty, on Monday night, from Uickleton Hall, Yorkshire. AMSTEADAM AND ROTTERDAIf PSODIJODNIARKETS.— The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter dam produce-markets state that business was rather more animated, and that prices continue to be well supported. In coffee the operations had increased, and quotations exhibited greater firmness. For sugar, raw and refined, these was a better demand, rates in some cases showing a tendency to improvement. Indigo was well maintained at late prices. The letters from mention that the market fir manufactures was dull, the attendance of buyers having diminished. DEATII OF SIP. E. S. GOOCH, BART.—It is with regret that we have to record the death of Sir Edward Sherteck Gooch, Bart. The lamented baronet expired at his residence, Benacre Hall, in this county, on Sunday la , t. The baronetcy of the Gooch family was instituted in 1746, and the late baronet succeeded to the title cn the death of his father in 1851. His first wife was a daughter of the late Lord Rendlesham, by whom lie had one daughter, who is now married to the Rev. S. ()tie sold, of Wrentham, in this county. The hon. baronet, in his second union, married a member of the Hope family. He leaves one son, 14 years of age (who is now at Eton, and who iueceeds to the title), and seven daughters. The deceased baronet for the last ten years hart been a. representative of the Conservative interest for the eastern division of the county of Suffolk. In 1851 Sir alward was Metalled Provincial Grand Master of the most ancient and honourable Order of Freemasons, which cffice he held to the time of his death. The hon. baronet was moat deservedly respected by all who knew him, and his numerous acts of charity to those around him who stood in need of hie assistance wiil be long and gratefully realembered. Various rumours respecting the vacancy in the representation of East Suffolk have reached us, but at present we are unable to announce anything definite on the subject.—lpstvich Expre&s. PRACTICAL JOKES MUST BE PAID FOR.—At the Cocker. mouth County Court, last month, Thomas Hewitson sued a farmer named Allison, living at Dovenby, for 71. 103. damages sustained from a practical joke. On the IGth of August the plaintiff, on his return from Aspatria fair, called on Mrs. Stagg, a lady occupying a farm near Dovenby, and went into the kitchen, leaving the borne heand cart at the door. While there e heard the vehicle moving, and on going out saw some person driving it awa y, lie immediately left the house, and on reaching Talientire he found time cart outside of a public-house kept by Jeremiah Tinnion. He inquired who brought it there, but Tinnion declined to satisfy him. Tne plaintiff then refused to take away the mare until he was ac quainted with the person who had played him the trick. The mare remained with Tinnion 24 days, and the plaintiff paid to him 51. for her keep during that time, and to recover which, and 2/. 103. for the loss of the services of the mare, he now sued the defendant. After hearing the evidence at lull length, the jury gave the plaintiff a verdict for the full amount. THE MURDER IN PARLIAMENT STREET.—A few hours before the unfortunate man Cope died be became per fectly conscious, and aware that his end was drawing ne ar. He conversed as well as he was able with those around his bed. In alluding to the murderous attack which deprived him of life, he said he "hoped that the murderer might be forgiven, as he hims e lf h ope d to b e forgiven," and shortly afterwards breathed his last. Since his death a post-mortem examination of the body has been made. This was effected yesterday under the in spection of Mr. Barnard Holt, of. Parliament street, the surgeon of the Westminster Hospital, who has had the deceased under his care since the commencement, and who performed the operation of trepanning. Now that the scalp has been removed, the skull has been found to be extensively fractured in two other places, the frac tures branching off from the original wound in different directions. The injuries have been ascertained to be of the most serious nature, causing surprise that he ever survived the attack one boor. • Marley has been made acquainted with the death of his victim, but it has produced no impression or feeling of remorse. He is still as callous as ever. A. rumour has got abroad that he will be brought up at the inquest before Mr. Bedford, the coroner, and the jury ; but such will not be the case, as if the inquiry were taken before Mr. Wakley, who always makes application to the Secret ar y o f State upon such occasions. The in quest will be held to-day. THE ADVENT OP WINTER.—SHIELDS, Monday Night. —We bad some smart showers of snow this morning, and the distant Cheviots have put on their winter cover ing. The wind howls about the windows to-night, and a heavy sea rolls across the bar of the Tyne, and every thing has a ,cold November appearance. We had sok. relay fine weather, however, on the southern coast of Northumberland during the past fortnight, which has permitted the farmers to get well advanced with their work. LATEST N E WS. THE OVERLAND MAIL. TRIESTE, TUESDAY, NOV. 11. The steamer Calcutta arrived here to-day at 4.15 a.m. She left Alexandria on the sth inst. The India mail was to leave Alexandria on the 6th, with advioes from Calcutta to Oct. 9 ; Bom bay, Oct. 17; Madras, Oct. 15; Ceylon, Oct. 16. Preparations continued on an enlarged scale for the expedition to the Persian Gulf. A detachment from the Persian army before Herat had captured the Affghau city of Furratb, sendinp the governor a captive to Teheran. The dates from Cabul are to the Ist Oct. Herat still held out. The directors of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway have issued an advertisement for tenders for a line from Wassma to Nagpore, a distance of 487 miles. The native troops at Pesbawur wore suffering very severely from fever. Exchange at Bombay, 2s. 1 11-16 d. The money-market was easy. T'ne new Government loan was making little progress. The prices for imports were steady. At Calcutta there was no material alteration in the condition of the market. Exchange was at is. lid. to 2s. Ogd. Statements of the Indian revenues and charges and of the cash balances in the Treasuries will, for the future, be published quarterly and annually. COPENHAGEN, TUESDAY. The Faedrelandet states that the German Powers desire that the State Assembly should have communicated to them the Constitution which governs Holstein. This is to be done on pain of the intervention of the Germanic Confede ration. The King of Denmark has received the Grand Cross of the Norwegian Order of Olaf, from the King of Sweden. SUCHUM KALE, Our. 23. The Commander-in-Chief of the liberating army of Circassia, Sefer Pacha, is now encamped at this place. His army amounts to 25,000 effective men. The whole of the eastern coast forts are in possession of the Mountaineers. MARSEILLES, TUESDAY. We learn from Constantinople that Lord Lyons and Sir Henry Bulwer have been decorated with the order of the Medjidie. Lord Lyons was fur ther honoured by the Sultan with the presentation of a magnificent sabre. The nomination of Redschid Paella to the po sition of Grand Vizier has been generally well re ceived. It is hoped he will arrange the present difficulties. The French interests at the Porte are by no means considered damaged by the Ministerial changes. It is asserted that Aali Pacha will enter a Coalition Cabinet, with Itedschid Pacha as its First Minister. THE SERPENTS' ISLAND. A letter has just been received from Constan tinople, from which we extract the following : " The Russians have made another attempt to land at the Serpents' Island. They sent a steamer there to land provisions, water, and clothing for the seven men, as well as different materials for the lighthouse. Captain Vansittart, of her Majesty's ship Magicienue, the superior officer in command of the station, went on board, and , informed the Russian commander that he could not allow him to land, but that he I was ready to take off in his boat the provisions and clothing, but not the materials for the light house, as the latter has been in a perfect state since the 15th of the present month, displaying a splendid revolving light alter the best model, and with the latest improvements. He offered likewise to take the commanding officer with him on shore, and allow him to communicate with his countrymen. While the conversation was car ried on a boat pushed off from the Russian steamer towards the island, but was preventel from landing, and the Russian steamer departed re Week, after having given over the provisions and clothing. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition) says : " I believe I am correct iu stating that public affairs will prevent his Majesty from visiting Fon tsinbleau as was originally proposed. " At the Council of Ministers held yesterday at St. Cloud some important explanations took place, which may of the modification of the Ministry, at least to a certain extent. " The French Government has not fixed on any period for the meeting of the conferences, as stated by some journals." The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition) says : " The Ministerial crisis--if such a thing as a crisis, in the ordinary acceptation of the word, be possible under the Imperial p'39i)ric—is said to be over for the present. Whether it recur soon will depend on the measures that may or may not be adopted to satisfy the just demands of the large portion of the people who are discontented or suffering. Two or three members of the Cabinet, at all events, have spoken their minds very freely, and, under the circumstances, very boldly, on the present state of affairs. It may be admitted that the evils which afflict so many of the population ought not to be attributed to the Government, but, at least, the Government should avoid giving any pretext for imputation. When the people find, for instance, that the representative of France at the Czar's coronation may combine the character of ambassador with that of a specu lator, that the concessions obtained are not exclu sively political, and that private interests are at least equally cared for with those of the public, it is no wonder they should murmur. Again, it is just that the Emperor should have time for relax ation and relief from the severer occupations of State, but surely there is no very pressing necessity for the resumption of the festivities of Compiegne at Fontainbieau while masse s of the people are in indigence ; and five months out of the twelve should in all con science suffice for mere amusement. No one believes that his Msjesty neglects public business even during these hours, but they like to feel the hand that governs them, and the hand cannot in safety be so long withdrawn. Those about the Court who are most attached to the Emperor's rea lly careful of hi s popu l ar i ty, are person, and doing their utmost to dissuade him from going to Fontainbleau—with what success remains to be se might be expected, th e h os til e po liti ca l partiesen A are s leaving nothing undone to excite the ill-will of the people, and in some cases, I fear, suc cessfully. Very energetic measures of repression must be taken Lefore long ; but the repressiol: should be applied elsewhere than in the sirens , To remove discontent and silent murmuring, the causes which justify or excuse it must be radi cally removed. I have reason to believe that this view of the question was placed before the Empe ror on a very recent occasion. " Several arrests were made yesterday and the day before. " The fford announoes that the Commissioners of the five great Powers are to settle at Constan tinople the question of the Principalities and the Black Sea, Bolgrad, and the Isle of Serpents ; but I am assured that, as respects that Commission and the meeting of the Congress in Paris or Lon don, nothing is as yet decided." The correspondent of the Times (second edi tion), in a letter dated Constantinople, Nov. 2, says : " The separation between France and Eng land, and the revival of their rival policy in Turkey, has not only spoilt the chance of a set tlement of the dispute between Bolgrad and the Serpents' Island, but it is likewise daily compli cated by the question of the Principalities. On Tuesday last the Cunforence was held for the discussion of the firman for the convoca tion of the Divans ad hoc. You will remember the stroke of policy which the Turkish Govern ment attempted, by communicating the draft first confidentially to the English and American Am bassadors in order to gain their consent for the `note explicative' which was to have accompanied it. As you know, the representations of the French Ambassador were so strong in conse quence that the Ministry gave up the 'note explicative.' But this was not enough. As might be expected, the French were by no means disposed to look favourably on a project which was brought forward under such circumstances, and at the first conference the French Ambassador oame forward with a counter project, which was adopted by the majority of the a arerence, but which, as is natural, will in i 1 s details find as much opposition as the former. " While this skirmishing is going on in the private relations of the Western Powers at Con stantinople, there is one great proof of a separa tion visible in broad daylight, and this is the presence of a considerrble English squadron, and the absence of the tricolor, except on the stern of the Ajaecio, attached to the French Embassy and the Roland, which has retired deep into Beicos Bay awaiting the departure of Ferule Khan, the Persian Ambassador to France. Til? Russians have tried to take advantage of this separation between the movements of France 1113(/ England to ask the Turkish Government to Pre" test against the presence of the English fleet, 5s contrary to the convention, but they failed 13 their attempt. This attempt shows, howeve r ' that they think their time has come. THE OPENING OF THE BELGIAN - LEGISLATIVE CHAMBERS. BRUSSELS, Nov. 11' berg The session of the Belgian Legislative Char o was opened today by the followinr , speech fr° l3l the King : " Gentlemen,—l longed to find myself again i n the midst of you, to address to the nation the expressiall, of those feelings of happiness which have been imp resses : upon me by those brilliant te-timonies of affectio n end devotion which have been afforded me on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the inauguration of my reign. " Those manifestations, arising out of the patriotic initiative of the Chambers will not be fruitless t o the country. They will raise i . t higher in its own estilon' tion, and will obtain honour for it in the eyes of the foreigner. " Our international relations feel its influence. Nev er have they been marked by a more kindly character. • "Providence, in granting us the blessing of a gen era ' ally abundant harvest, has brought back security to great number of families, who have been suffering risen, s acrifices and privations during late years. Ne vertbes less, the problem of public food must continue to occupy our warmest attention. " The triennial reports which have just been publishe d prove the solicitude of my Government for the advance' went of primary and secondary instruction. An in' terest no less great is felt by it for the dissemination of . a superior system of instruction. The opening of the academical year has furnished it recently with the sopnd portunity of reverting to those principles , the erit sincere application of which must ensure the pr of the Universities of the State , as not "The movement of our national literature b lessened.
