When shall we be free from American diffi valties ? They seem to possess a hydra-like quality ; for no sooner is one angry head disposed of than another even more menacing springs up, and taxes all our forbearance and energies to avert the fatal consequences that may arise from its reckless action. There are a number of per sons of the " atairmnir. CHOLLOP" class, who chuckle as they chew, and, expectorating their bile with their tobacco juice, talk of " walloping the Britishers," and " extracting the claws from the Lion," as if they were the easiest tasks ima ginable. These habitual boasters would be beneath contempt were it not for the countenance and support which they have received from the existing Government, which bids largely for the support of these " loose fish "—paraphrasing the exclamation of VESPASTAN, nov olet nummits, by the declaration that " one vote" is as good as another ; and that a filibustering ticket is not to be rejected, providing it could tura the scale at the election, and give a renewed tenure of office to the Democratic party, who feel with dismay .hat coveted ground rapidly slipping from beneath them. Hence the onslaughts on the English Government in reference to the Central American and Enlistment question q, and the un ceremonious expulsion of the British Miniser and Consuls. These insults were, however, partially submitted to by England. They were probably regarded as merely electioneering dodges by the out-going President, and dealt with in such a spirit that might have tamed the most pugnacious specimens of humanity into placability. But it is clear that all our efforts to maintain peace with our choleric and grasping cousins will be neutralised so long as the PIERCE party is at the head of afftirs. Not only was the most com plete and satisfactory answer ever returned by an independent nation to an accuser forwarded to Washington —not only was the contumelious treatment of Mr. CRAMPTON and the Consuls p a esseci over, without in any degree affecting the reception accorded to Mr. DALLAS, but we have yielded the full ex tent of the demands so unreasonably preferred, and the British protectorate of the Mosquito ter ritory, which was so long maintained, h as been formally abandoned. Even the Isle of &ratan in obedience to a s t r i c tl y btu; b een surrendered, literal interpretation of the CLAYTON-BULWER Treaty. H av i n g thus done everything OR our 1 art. to prevent the poss ibility of war, and to render the Western politi ca l horizin perfectly cloudless, w e find a ne w arre.sion threatened, to which even American writer s admit it is perfectly impossible that England could submit. No sooner has one conflagration been extinguished than a fresh fire brand is recklessly, We should almost say advisedly, cast into the combustible mass, and those svr . ; should, from their position, strive to suppress the flames are only intent on adding fresh fuel thereto. It can scarcely he er edi• ted that within a few weeks—we might u nay ilay3—from the su pposA terminatio n of the central A nwr ican di ffi cu lty, when England had 3rihi,..d on every M point t o the PIERCE ARCY Construction, ofthe CLA YTON- BolwElt Treaty, tha n i ts - witfid and d e lib er ate violation is proposed by a n United Commissioner to the Cabinet of 'Washington, and as seriously taken' into consideration by ite, meal_ b erg . N ay , we receive a semi-official hint th at the President and " JEFF DAvrs," the War Minister, cordially concur in the recommendation, DI-1K SUN, 1.4'437- : DON, TUES DA Y that the EMPEROR "does not sulk," that he means "to devote all his pOwers to the development of the internal resources of his country." The state of Europe might tempt him to philanthropic enter prises like that of NICHOLAS against Turkey, but he means to limit his philanthropy to patriotism. Why, yes, to be sure, that is very prudent. W e fancy it would be rather dangerous work at home were he to attempt marching his forces just now beyond his own boundaries, or taking his fleet nut of :ho Baltic just yet. NESSELRODE would not have faced about like a thrashed schoolboy after he had got far enough out of the way of his conqueror. After all, the Allies are foiled doubly—they wanted to save the dignitl of Russia, but she won't be dignified—they wanted to check her arrogance, and she's as arrogant as ever. To have accepted her defeat and acted accordingly would have been dignity in misfortune—to talk like a conqueror in the preamble, but to, apologise for impotence in the peroration, is what neither England, nor France, nor Sardinia, nor Turkey, have ever done. It's the big Circular of a little mind, after all. so that the mischief may be effected before the I election of FREMONT will scotch the snake for at least four years to come. A certain Amos B. CORWIN.; who had doubtless received full in structions from head-quarters, and knew what might be made a handle of to advan3a his own pergonal interests, has the rather do .btful merit of kindling the torch on the present occasion. He declares that he feels it " a duty incumbent on him to recommend the immediate occupancy of the Isthmus from ocean to ocean by the United States." it is true that he qualifies the suggestion by hinting that it may not be indispensable, if New Granada can satisfy as to her ability and inclination to afford proper protec tion, and to make speedy and ample atonement for the wrongs inflicted (?) on his countrymen. As, however, another conclusion is that the govern ment of New Granada is unable to maintain law and enforce order on this Isthmus, and afford adequate protection to the transit, it is quite manifest that this is a distinction without a difference, and that the proposal should be taken without any drawback. Where, then, is this fillibus tering system, openly patronised by the Cabi net at Washington, to end ? It is manifest that British forbearance, or, as some might term it, British poltroonery must some time cease. We cannot for ever remain " a chopping block" on which Yankee Commissioners are to exercise theirwits. A wise and prudent Cabinet would administer severe censure to the party who so far and so unwarrantably exceeds the limits assigned to him, and ventures to recommend what would involve his government in a well-founded charge of -violated faith, and his country in a formidable war. Mr. Amos B. CORWINE as sent merely to investigate facts. He usurps the functions of the Executive by recommending the course to be adopted. So long as every petty official is permitted to pursue such a course with impunity, and to disturb the mind of the people with such projects, it is impossible to hope that the Government can maintain amicable relations with other independent nations. Who is to answer the impudent circular of Russia ? Time was when a diplomatist on the other side of the channel could reply to a NES SELRODE in a style which elicited commenda tions even from one of the ablest judges, Lord LYNDHURST. But that pen has long been silent. It is now wielded by one of whose capacities in that line we have records in the Protocols against the Belgian Press. Worse than that, one who could at the Conference, consign to oblivion, that is to a grave in Russian barbarism, the country whence he drew his name ; one, too, who shared his master's solicitude for Russian " dignity," and who did his best to leave her as big as ever, albeit somewhat faint with depletion of roubles and soldiers. Count WALEWSKZ is the last man we should wish to tell Russia what the world, of freemen, think of her. An American fellow slavehblder would do it as well. He would take counsel with Baron &EDAM, or per haps send to Russia, as he did about makingPsLlssxEaDuke of Malakhoff, to know how his newly-crowned Czarship would like the docu ment to be worded. When DROITYN DE L'HuYs was Corresponding Secretary to the Allies, we had ,also the additional advantage of getting the docu ments in the Moniteur, or some where, when Par liament was not sitting. Our Lord PALMERZTON could do it ; and do it as it , ought to be done—but dares he do it? What would his Coburg and Paris masters say if he did ? What would become of the alliance ' the alliance between constitutional liberty and the despotism of police, spies, Cayenne, and a gagged Press, if PALMERSTON were to write to the British agents over all. Europe in 'the old Palmerstonian style ;' is the style which gained him his character both here and abroad, and for which this country made him Prime Minister of the War Cabinet ? Russia needs a thorough diplomatic humbling in the eyes of all the East and the West. " The Precious Peace," once concluded, knowing that she had honest Governments to deal with, she returned at once to her old kna very and assumptions, quite confident that she would be dealt with as she wished, not as she deserved. Her entire behaviour since has fully justified our denunciations of this year's winter and spring policy. Russia was indeed made to ask for peace—but she was not made to do it on her knees. It eras essential to the repose of the world that she should be thoroughly humbled and weakened—our most experienced Statesman in the Lords told our Government this, but no thi ng would do except "rasing Russia humiliation"— sav i na her the very thing which, for Europe's sa k e , sl!.e n ee d e d. The immediate consequences were, the I,le of Serpents, the retention of Kars, the destruction of the fortifications, and the attack on the Cir cassians—and now, before the crown is well got easy on the head of the Cztr, and while the special ambassadors are yet at his court, this shameless lecture from him whom we ought to have male afraid to open his mouth as arbiter of Europe again. Surely we had enough of that kind of thing from NICHOLAS ; and we ought to have taken good care that it was butisd in his grave. We should think every British officer end in telligent private who reads this Circular must bite his lips from very annoyance, that the whippers in at home sounded back just as the game was in view. How they must feel to see such a reward for their toils, and wounds, and sacrifices ! Ode campaign more, and they would have saved Prime Ministers and Secretaries the humiliation of such saucy circulars as these, and the trouble of answer ing them. They would not have left Russia as big territorially as ever ; they would have spared all quibblings about Bolgrad and the Isle of Serpents. They would have taught her to rose the question rather, whether the new 1 boundary was to cut off Bessarabia as well as the Crimea and Circassia, or Poland as well as both, or Finland as well as the other four. They weuld not have left her to lecture the Allies about the " sanctity of the rights of Sovereigns, and their Equality among themselves, however small their territories,"— w hil e she herself swaggers in this style through having absorbed, n all sides, Sove reigns.once as ind e p en d ent as JO Czars. Why, follow,og her example, — England and Franco might not merely threaten tyrants who are be come a European nuisance; they 'right, on ltus• sian, and Prussian, and Austrian principles too, divide their dominions among themselves ! Well _the thing is done for the present ; and our EVA NSE3, and WILLIAMSES, and WINDITAMS, and the LA MARmonAs abroad, are now 'loomed to read these insulting circulars, from the v ery f oe they have with such weak magnanimity been ordered to leave half punished. With all his pretensions, however, w e must confess that the braggart somewhat betrays him self. GORTSCHAKOFF is clever, very clever ; but, he is not quite a NESSELRODE yet. He would not have trumped up an *excuse for the vo x e t precterea nihil of his Circular, would not have betrayed that nothing was intended bu't pen-work. Very patriotic, to be sure, POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION. Last evening a meeting was held in the theatre of this institution, to hear an inaugural address from the Rev. J. B. Owen, on the occasion of the opening of the ()lasses fcr teaching at very low fees, adapted to the means of all, the subjects required by the examiners of the Society of Arts. On the motion-of Mr. PEPPER, the Rev. Dr, Booth, treasurer of the Society of Arts, took the chair. The Rev. J. B.,OwEN said they were assembled ther e that evening to inaugurate the commencement of a highly important conjunction on the part of that institution with the Royal Society of Arts, with respect to ita depart ment of examinations for prizes and certificates for the pupils of science. He begged to express his gratitude to the council of the Society cf Arts for the liberal concession which they had made in this case, and which was highly creditable to them, and 'ibid was in accordance with the true genius of science—w like true religion, was a question of no party, but is ie the interest of every party whose symbol is "the Je.eu sal= above, which is free, and the mother of us all." The fees of each class, of 14 lessons, proposed to 'be opened, would be 55., or at the rate of 44d. for each.. Great credit was due to Mr. Pepper, the lessee of the institution, for having ventured upon this experiment of cheap philosophy and science made easy, to bring down their ennobling studies to within reach of all cleans in the metropolis. He trusted the effort would be seconded by the number of pupils desirous of availing themselves of the privileges of the institution in this regard. He did not anticipate any, failure in the matter, for the growing appetite for scientific) pursuits in the Young England mind was one of the favourable signs of the times. The rev, lecturer then referred to the various scientific discoveries which bad been made—such as the art of printing, the mariner's compass, the circulation of the blood, the functions of the brain, and the nervous system —in chemistry, in electricity, steam, and the like. Many of these discoveries had been made in our own times. He then observed that the Polytechnic Institu tion was the great medium through which many of these discoveries were made familiar to the minds of the public, and which were taught in a manner most agreeable and acceptable to all. The proposed classes would increase the advantages of the institution, and would enhance its value amongst the public. The rev. gentleman's address was received with ap plause throughout. After a few brief speeches from some of the gentlemen on the platform, thanks were given to the chairman and Mr. Pepper, and the meeting separated. There were between 1,000 and 2,000 persons in the theatre. SURREY TB EAT.Rg. Last evening this theatre was filled to overflowing to witness the revival of a very favourite melodrama, en titled the " Flower Girl," which was not long since pro duced here with great effect. It has been reproduced with great care, and Mr. Creswick has heightened its attraction by assuming the character of the hero, Michael Cranou, the Convict Marquis, a capital part, to which he gives great effect by his bold, broad, vigorous melo dramatic acting. Miss Marriot, as Madelon, the Flower Girl, is pleasing and interesting Her mad scene in the last act is really pathetic. Mr. Widdicombe (the Wright of the Surrey) kept-the house roars , of. laughter by his facetice, and the whole reception of the piece showed that it will have another run as long as the laet. THE COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, OCT. 5. ller Majesty the Queen drove out yesterday afternoon accompanied by her Royal Highness the Princess Royal and attended by her Grace the Duchess of Wellington.

IN& OCTOBER 7 18-56 LATEST NEWS. TSB FRENC] I BUDGET. PARIS, ~ TUESDAY MORNING. The Moniteur publishtvi a report of the Millis- ter of 'Finance, relative to the Budget of 18,56. The most remarkable - points advanced by the Minister are the followi eg " That not only the, amount of revenue of 1854 has been attained send passed--not only the extraordinary level of 1f ;55 is reached—but the first months of the press ant year, compared with the corresponding months of the last year, show a considerable increast!. The increase, for the first six months alone, is 63,000,000 as against 1854, and 26,000,000' as against 1855. " Much has been :laid of the exportation of bullion. A succession of bad harvests, the pur chase of silk from foreii pa sources, and other less legitimate causes, have , influenced, no doubt, the export of French coin. Silver especially has become the objects cd" a trade which disturbs the public mind. The trade consists in select- ing the finest coins, and obtaining for them their surplus value. This unfair choice of coin, which tends to destroy the general equili brium, was by ancient law considered as a high misdemeanour, and was punished, by severepenal ties. Modern legislation- cannot be powerleb3 against such an abuse, which hf is nothing in com mon with the undisputed principle of commercial liberty. The Gaveru3nent of your Majesty is justly concerned about the matter. " The two first loans have been entirely paid up, and the terms of the last, which will suffice to liquidate all the expenses of the war, are ful filled with exactitude. " The public reven - ue is augmenting in a hitherto unparalleled proportion. The taxes are paid with the most exact punctuality, and even often in advance, "Money flows into, the public Treasury. The paymant of the last 3ix monthly payments of the rente has left us a reserve of 110,000,000. "It must be evident to every sensible man that these facts are the indices of a situation of things which is fundamentally good." The Ga4uge arrived at Marseilles yesterday, with accounts from Constantinople to the 29th ultimo. An order received by telegraph from London, directs that three steamers and six gunboats shall re-enter tbg e Black Sea. A Fren oh squadron is ordered hitherto to co operate w ith the British fleet, as the Isle of Serpents question is not satisfactorily settled. An Au 8 trian squadron is also ordered here. Admin 11 Lord Lyons remains here. Reschid Pacha ha a given a fete to his lordship. Servia has applied to the great powers for the increase c if her army. Austrif < supports the application of Montenegro for an exr tension of frontier, but all negotiations had been again put an end to by a renewal of hostilities between the Turks and Montenegrins. The Ett:phrates Railway has been definitively conceded to an English company. The Franck steamer the. Lyonnais, under the command. of 'Captain Magnan, has returned to Belgrade ; she is to go up the river as far as Pesth, and then proceed to Vienna. A joint-stocks ship-building company has just been formed at St. Petersburg, under something more than Government patronage, for the greater part of the shares have been already taken by va rious members of the Imperial family, and by some of the more ancient and powerful Russian nobility. Twenty commercial screw steamers of the very largest class are to be built in the first instance. Some of them will be constructed in America, some in England, and a few in the Gulf of Finland. They are to trade to the Black Sea, the Danube, and the Levant. If it be found that more are de sirable,' more will progressively be added. A letter just received from Vienna, dated Oct. 3, says :—" Baron Hubner arrived here on the 2d. He was instructed by the Cabinet to represent to the King of Naples the serious consequences of re sisting the demand of the Western Powers. It is generally believed in Vienna that his Neapolitan Majesty did not give him an opportunity of com municating either his own opinions or those of his Government." The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " According to the latest accounts from Naples the King is less than ever disposed to snzke con cessions, while the fermentation in the public mind is at the highest pitch. The remon strances. of the Powers are throughout treated with indifference or arroganea, and there is every prospect that the King, whose strength is in his weakness, will adopt a system of passive resistance, and thus defy France and England to do their worst. He feels himself strong in the sympathy of Russia ; and I regret to say that Austria, notwithstanding appearances, is suspected, at Naples at least, of playing, as usual, a double part. At all events, since the visit of M. Hubner, the King has manifested even less . disposition towards a conciliatory policy. The anxiety is intense ; and, with the financial crisis in France, and the discontent it natu rally produces, his Neapolitan Majesty probably anticipates no demonstration on the part of this country. I have reason to believe that no resolu tion has as yet been come to with reference to that question ; and it is certain that the Em peror Napoleon is not disposed to make any demonstration which would have the effect of encouraging the Italian malcontents to rise against their Government. At the councils, which are held s i nce th e E mperor ' s re t urn , i t i s intimated that no step will be taken which would provoke a catastrophe, or endanger the dynasty of N a pl es ; an d t h e id es o f a hostile d actt t t Y i order to extort concessions which the Ki n g refuses to grant, is, I am assured, out of tho question. Under such circumstances, I can not even now affirm whether the naval squadron lying in the waters of Toulon will be sent to the Bsy of Naples, as its presence would, no doubt, be interpreted as a hostile display, and regarded as an encouragement to the disaffected. lam informed that it will be decided this day whether or not the fleet will be sent ; and, if the resolution be in the affirmative, it will, perhaps, be in com pliance with the wishes of the English Govern ment. With the excitement that prevails all over Italy, the presence of the allies may be followed by a movement, and in that case I can see no alternative but to take part one way or the other. If a popular movement takes place, the lazzaroni would, doubtless, be let loose, and the excesses that would follow, and to which French and Eng lish residents would be alike exposed, would force us to interfere in a more direct manner than we could wish, The question is one of great diffi culty," The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says :- " If I am correctly informed concerning the state of Naples despatches must have reached London, showing the necessity of immediately sending vessels to Naples for the protection of British subjects. There seems to be no doubt that the police of the Court, headed by Campaguia, have received orders to organise the hizzironi, with a view of attacking the property of any one who may be pointed out by their leaders. The lazzaroni of certain quarters of the city are said to have already received money from the Court. "An ordinary telegraphic despatch appears this evening in the French journals, giving news from Naples up to Oct. 2. It is here declared that M. Martini, the Austrian Ambassador, arrived at Naples on the 29th. The King had returned to Naples, from Gaeta, for the purpose of holding a Cabinet Council. The despatch then says that a report was very general about the formation of anew Ministry, and that Gen. Filangieri had been named as likely to come into office. If there be any truth in this telegraphic news, the King is acting with more wisdom and less obstinacy than usual. As regards Gen. Filangieri, he is the soldier who commanded the Siciliau expeaitiun, was afterwards appointed governor of the island, and certainly ruled with in telligence. Therefore, as might be expected, be fell into disgrace with the King and was recalled, Prince Cassecicala taking his place. Filangieri is said to have ever advised the King to make an alli ance with France and England rather than Austria, a Power without a fleet, and Russia a friend that could not very easily approach the Two Sicilies if called upon to do so by political events. But there is one reason why General Filangieri might not be acceptable to the King at the present mo ment ; he is an old soldier of the drys of Murat, and Ferdinand is very sensitive on that subject. At all events it is well to regard with caution the whole of the information in this despatch for the moment. The Patric Bays M. Martini was the bearer of a letter from the Emperor of Austria to the King of Naples urging him to give way. Had his Majesty done so we might have heard something about it by this time ; but yesterday we got quite contrary news from Vienna." lowa low +N. RUSSIAN CORONATION FETES. (Frain the 'Second Edition of the Times.) MOSCOW, SEPT. 23. The English Ambassador and Lady Granville's state ball on Wednesday night was,very brilliant and very successful. The Emperor and Empress, the Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael, the Grand Duchesses Constantine and Marie, honoured the party by their presence, and all the Foreign Am bassadors. and Ministers and suites, as well as the principal Russian nobility, and every person of note in Moscow, attended this splendid reunion, which :appropriately terminated the princely hospitalities that have distinguished the English Ambassador's residence in this city. To mention all the great people would be impossible, seeing that about nine hundred persons were present, most of them of high rank or position, and some of whom were so anxious indeed to pay their respects to Lord and Lady Granville that they came without any invitation whatever. Some thirty or forty people offered our Embassy this high compliment. The outside of the Gra ziani Palace was illuminated with coloured lamps, which cast a blight glow on a crowd of faces in the streets, all silent and quiet, as a Russian crowd ever is. In order to provide danc ing room for such a large assemblage, a very spacious and handsome apartment had been erected with in finite pains and trouble, projecting over the garden at the rear of the house, on a level with the drawing room floor, into which it opened. The top and sides were formed by a monster tent or marquee striped white and red, with alcoves—one at one side for the orchestra, another opposite for those who might desire to retire from the dance. At the further extremity were the communications with the sup per rooms. The entrance to this temporary ball roam was effected by means of a passage formed by canvass, which led from the hall through the gar den, and so up by a staircase to the level of the first floor. This passage, which wound through the natural trees of the garden, had two branches, in one of which was a comfortable little bu f fet, well provided with good wine • it was lighted with variegated lamps, and h a d a very pretty effect, and it was very useful in removing the pressure of so large a pal • v on the front etair case. The usual receptioe eoom of the palace was fitted up with much trste and magnificence for the supper of the Emperor and Empress, the Imperial family, the high ambassadors, and the ladies of the Imperial court. One long table, covered with silver epergnes, goblets,' and cups of the finest workmanship which English hands could produce, and with beautiful whit 3 china extended along one side of the room. On the wall, over one extremity of the table, there was an oil full-length of the Queen, which Mr. Ker, o ne o f th e attaches to Lord Wodehouse's mission, managed with small means to paint very creditably, and with great rapidity. Two round tables, equally well-ap pointed, were placed at the other side for those of the Court who did not sit at the principal table. The large room used for dancing at Lady Gran villes's previous balls was arranged as a supper room for the distinguished polloi who were not included in the guests at the ta!sles of the Imperial party. A long table, well supplied with silver . plate, scarcely sufficed to sustwn the load of various dishes—hams, tongues, jellies, pates de fois Bras which were placed on it, p.rticularly it was rather weak on its legs, and was exposed to great strain all night from the crowd which pressed against it. A number of small round ar ciliary tables were spread at the other side of the room, a seat at one of w hich was an object of much exer tion and ambition, or of patience not always re warded. A row of gold plate and salve' dadorned the buffet along the wall . , and all th e supper was served on silver plate. Here France had again come to the help of England, and the entente cordiale be tween M. do Morny and Lord Granville was evinced by the presence of the servants of the French Embassy, who were lent on this Siette occa sion to assist in meeting the great exi g encies of the night, a service whi c h h as, I believe, been recipro cated in kind. The vases in the Emperor's supper room were adorned by a profusion of flowers and rich bouquets, and the effect of these rooms, all very brilliantly lighted with wax, was uncommonly warm and comfortable. It was about 9.30 when the Emperor and Empress arrrived. They were re ceived by Lord and Lady Granville at the stairs, and the attaches and suite of the Embassy were also in attendance. The Grand Dukes and Duchesses and the ladies of the Court followed, and the party proceeded to the ball-room. On entering the or chestra struck up a polonaise. The Ambassador was honoured by the hand of the Czarina, the Emperor led forth Lady Granville, and the ball was opened by a stately promenade in this order, from ono end of the room to the other, to the strains of the band, in a kind of measured step, the finely dr e s se d an d g litt er i n g crowd opening right and left, and forming walls which flashed with dia• moods, gold, orders, satins, and precious stones, be tween which the Emperor. and Empress and tleir partners advanced. The Grand Dukes aud Duchesses the Prince and Princess de Ligne, and Prince Esterhazy and others, took part in the polonaise, and followed in the wake of the host and hostess. Every man present was in uniform of some kind or other, and the room offered one of the brightest coups d'ceil of the many pres aced by these bril liant coronation fetes. 1 7.0NDAY, SEPT. 29. The ball given last night by M. do Morny, the French Ambassador, was a triumph in its way, and it may be safely pronounced the most splendid and successful entertainment of the kind that has been given here during the fetes. The rooms were admi rably disposed and udcd to the best effect, and the temporary ball-room was so pretty and ele,_;ant that, ;n spite of some incongruities of colour in one or two places, it may be pronounced one of the very few erections of the kind which it would be a pity to take down again. This apartment nearly a square in form with a large quadrilateral recess at ono sid9 in which was tile alcove for the chairs of the Imperial guests, was constructed in the garden at the back of the Palace, and was admirably adapted for all its purposes except in ono respect—there was no parquet, end the new floor, which was covered with a composition of wax for (lancing, scarcely fornyd the best possible surface for the contact of satin shoes and wafer-soled. boots. The sides of this square were covered with a delicate gold Ittt tice-work, within which were twined wreaths of ivy from the floors to the top of the apartment. The effect of this green and charming—the arched roof of which iti the eentro rose into a Mild of cupola, was covered with an imitation in green - and cold of the lattice-work and natural leaves below. High up near the chlling *as placed an Orchestra, which as well as the door and the sides of the alcove teas hung with a flowered silk damask that some critics found fault with for want of har mony in colour with the prevailing tone of the ball-room. The alcove was lined with rich tuffted blue cloth and silk at the back. The room was sur rounded at the sides by a continuous line of otto mans and sofas, °were(' with 9111 c to correspond with the drapery of the doorways and orchestra. Magni ficient mirrors deflected the brilliant scene in every direction. On .the roof were large medallions of Cupids and infant Bacchi contemplating the com pany with great satisfaction. The lighting was very successful ; handsome chandeliers, radiating from a central sun of wax-lights, threw a perfect light from above ; but all the annoyances of shadow and vertical illumination were obviated by the dis position of very massive and richly gilt candlestick or candelabra at the sides of the room. All the pilasters and the window-frames, the lines of the facade, the porch, the eaves, and the lines of the roof were traced in lines of richly harmonised light emerald green, gold-colour, red, ultramarine, and light blue, combined most per fectly, and above all, shadowed out in fire, was the Imperial eagle and cipher. The company were more numerous than at Prince E!derhazy's. The attendance of Russian nobility was very large, and in addition to the Emperor and Em press, all the members-of the Royal Family, with the exception of the Grand Duchess Helene were present. MONDAY NIGHT. The feu d'artifice to-night wa3 on a scale of the greatest magnitude, but again the weather was un favourable to tho people. FRANCS', PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Emperor and Empress left St. Cloud yester day afternoon in an open carriage' for the Bois de Boulogne, to see tke cascade of Longchamps play for the first time in presence of their Majesties. The cascade succeeded perfectly, and was much admired. The Council-General of the Bank of France has reduced to 60 days the date of bills which will be received on discount. The measure comes into operation to-day. The Messager de Bayonne says :—" The active division assembled on our frontier under the com mand of General Crosbon is about to be dissolved. Two of the regiments composing it are, however, to remain in the country—the 51st at Pau, the 3d at Bayonne." BOURSE, Oct. 6. The Bank of France having decided that they would not discount the bills hav ing more than GO days to run, and having also adopted new restrictions to their advances on secu rities, refusing to lend more than 40 per cent. on Rente, and 20 per cent. on Railway Shares or De bentures, for a period of only one month. A new panic has been caused in the market, and all securi ties have been continually offered. The following were the last quotations Cash. tr. a.

A Vienna letter of the Ist, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" At the same time that the Austrian cabi net gave instructions to Gen. de Martini on his do parture for Naples, it sent a circular note to its ambassadors at Paris and London, in which it is asked to have the intended demonstration at Naples delayed, and that the question should be brought before the congress of Paris, which was soon to open. No answer has yet been received to this note." Another letter from Vienna of the same date, in the Bcersenhalle of Hamburg, says : Baron Mohrenheim, Russian Councillor of State, arrived here to day from St. Petersbur ,- r with very important despatches for Baron de Budberrg, relating to the affairs of Naples and Montenegro. With respect to the former it is certain that the passive policy announced by the circular of Prince Gortschakoff must not receive too much credit. Russia will not renounce so easily the principle of the Holy Alliance, and will employ all her efforts to obtain the co-operation of Austria in her Neapolitan policy. With respect to Montenegro every effort will be made to thaintain Russian influence in that state; and Prince Danilo's pretensions to independence and to an increase of territory will be supported by Russian diploma• tist s." RUSSIA. The Moniteur de l' Armee gives the following as the results of the census of the Russian empire taken by order of the Emperor at the time of his accession to the throne : " Tee total number of the population amounts to (33 millions, the principle elements of which give results unknown t o th e res t o f E srope , Th e c l erg y of the Russian Church stend for the enormous number of 510,000 ; that of the tolerated creeds, 35,000 the here ditary nobility, 155,000 ; the petty bourgeoisie, in.clnd ing dischar ge d s oldiers, 425,000 ; foreigners rending temporarily 40,000 ; different bodies of Comacks colo nised on the Oural, the Don, the Volga, the Back Sea, the Baikal, the Baschkire, and the irregular Kaiutucl is , 2,000,000 ; the population of the towns, the m iddl e and lower classes, 5,000,000 ; the population of the country parts, 45,000,000; the wandering tribes, 500 , 000 ; tie inhabitants of the trans-Cauca:len possessions, 1,400,000; the kingdom of Poland, 4,200,000; the Grand Duchy of Finland, 1,400,000; and the Russian co l on i es i n America 71,000. At the ac cess i on o f t h e E mperor Nicholas, the census then i taken only gave a population of 51,000,000. True large ncreaqe in the space of 30 years may, how ever, be readily understood, when it is considered that the ftessian territory has now an extent of 22 millions of square kilometres (a kilometre is s.Bths of a mile), and a length of coast of 27.000 kilometres. If the popu lation continues to Ecrease in the same proportion, it roil by 1900 amount to 100 millions. The Ras , ian Pnpite, according to the came document, contains 112 different, peoples, divided into 12 principal races, the most numerous of whi c h is the t'l,'clavontan, including the Russians properly so celled, the Poles, the Cossacks, and the Servian colonies of the Dnieper. These popu lations inhabit the finest and the most important pro• vinces of the empire." KABYLIA. The Moniteur Algericn gives the following par ticulars of the attack on the Kabyles by Generals Renault and Yusuf, already briefly mentioned ly telegraph :—On the 24th the Beni Koufi, a fra c tion of the Guechtoulas, were attacked at the same time by the divisions of Generals Renault and Yusuf. The former set out at three o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the deep ravine which ' separates the Oulad AU from the other fractions of the .Koufi, having only bad to drive before it some hundreds pethe enemy's riflemen. The se cond, whose camp was established near the zavuia of Sidi Abd-er-Rhaman, and who had a less dis tance to pass over to reach the enemy, only sat out at half-past six, and after following the crests of the Beni Ismail for two hours, found itself before one of the branches of the ravine, in view of Renault's division. It was on the other sue of this ravine that the ICabyles had established their vil lages and organised resistance. In spite of the diffi culties of the ground an attack was immediately commenced ; the ravine was crossed, the villages ! carried, and the attacking columns of the two divi sions met, after which the Oulad Ali and all the defenders were obliged to fall back amongst the rocks and in the forest which is between the bare crests of the Djurdjura and the positions which our troops bad taken from them. After an engage ment of two hours; and after all the villages, particularly those of the Oulad Ali, had been set on fire, the two divisions recommenced their retreat. General Yusuf was not pursued beyond the ravine, but the Kabyles followed en mane Ge neral Renault's column, which, having to descend steep declivities and to go a considerable distance, was more exposed to their attacks. In spite, how ever, of the vigour of the pursuit, the retreat, owing to the arrangements made, was effected in good order, and the two columns re-entered the camp at 5 o'clock, with a loss of 12 men killed and 49 wounded, 4of the latter officers. The loss of the enemy is not known, but ev ery thi ng l eads to the belief that it is considerable. Marshal Randon, the Governor-General, arrived on the 26th at the camp o f General Renault, situated at the foot of the mountains of the Beni Roufi. The day after, he vieited General Yusuf's division, which ho found in an excellent position. SPAIN. MADRID, Oct. 4.--There was a reception at court , to-day on the occasion of the fete-day of the Ki ti g. Provisions continuo to be yelp scarce. Extensive measures have just been adopted for the suppression of smuggling . : The new law on the provincial deputations will shortly appear. A rpyrd decree, in the Gazette - , dissolves the Commission on Codes, and appoints a now one of seven members under the presidency of 141. Cortina. The Epoca announces that M. Garcia y ss ar a, whom it calls a " distinguished orator and w,-iter," been appointed min!ster to the United SLjte; and that M. Galiano, who was formerly mini. ter at Washington, has been appointed to LisboN, Admiral Estrada, commander of tlie division of . Ferrol, spoken of as likely to be appointed to the command of the squadron to be sent to Naples, had been summoned to Madrid. The Official Verona Gazette, a journal written under the eye of the Austrian Government, ha for some time past been entertaining its readers with virulent articles against England. In its num ber of the 3d it contrasts the moderation of Rus sia as regards Bolgrad and the Island of Serpents . with that of England, which "is at this moment meditating the devastation of the Two Sicilies by fire and sword, because. they have nut the good for tune to possess a parliament and a piess like that of England." In another passage, Eu,gland is re presented as desirous " of psrpetuating in Greece the disastrous consequences of the war." It is ra ther singular that, in all his articles the editor omits to mention France, or even to hint at her existence. The Moniteur de l' Armee contains the follow ing :—" The Shah of Persia has just founded v. military college, destined for the instruction of young officers. Th© Piince takes the most lively interest in this establishment, which is near his palace in Teheran. The instruction consists of mathematics, drawing of plans, the principles of the military art, and the I"yench language, th e knowledge of which is indispeosable, as, strang e to say, all the words of commanc.l are given in French." The Danish Ministry has not been fomed, all the endeavours made having failed. The Cham bers, which opened on the 4th, have been prorogued to the Ist December. The King will preside at the Grand Council." A letter from Modena, in the Risorgimento of Turin, states that the Duke of Modena is fortifying his frontiers on tLa side of Piedm9nt, and building a new fort under the walls of Reggio. The Monitore Toscano publishes a Grand Ducal decree, authorising the establishment of a company under the name of Ferdinand Railway Company, for the construction of a line between Florence and Rome, through Arezzo. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND THE LONDO N PRESS. Tho Constitutionne? of Sunday rejoices at the change of sentiment which it discovers in the leading articles of the London papers; and states th a t the latter "have be come more just towards France, and more grateful to the Emperor' than was the case some' time ago. That journal thus expresses itself . " We take note with sincere satisfaction of the protes tations of friendship which the serious and elevated por tion of the English press is now pleased to offer to the French Government. We will not inquire wbether it is not to the unexpected appearance of the Russian circular that the actual attitude of the London journals is to be attributes. Should this be the case the document of Pitoce Gortschakoff will have had a result which t'ier tainly had not been anticipated or desired ; it will have contributed to draw nearer in the face of eventualities the moral and material alliance of two great nations and of two powerful courts, which, unitad, mao serve, without danger for themselves, the cause of huma n ity an d o f civi lisation over the whole globe. But it would be both un just and narrow-sighted on the part of the English press not to acknowledge the immense cervices which the Tmperial Government has been able to render since its establishment to the cause of European order, and to the general peace. We will merely add that an alliance such as that which France and England formed during the Eastern crisis derives its strength especially from its disinterestedness, and that nether of those two powers can dream of employing this union in any man ner calculated to serve ifs own especir I -rests. The high position to which the Emperor has raised France int the councils of Europe gives to us the right, and im poses on us the duty, of elevating our voice in all foreign coui;,s, of maintaining on all points of the globe our in terests and the security of ore countr”men, and finally, of preventing the occurrence of anything likely to trouble the general peace. But France knows how to exercise her right and to fulfil her duties with se , much wisdom and moderation that not an act nor a word calculated to compromise the security of the West is to be ferred on her part." AIVOTIIER CASPAR HAUSER STORY; A letter in the AllgemeineZeitung tells a most roman• tic story of a girl who was found in November, 1853, wandering about near the village of Weiskirchen, in the t% Banat, almost in a savage state, unable 'to speak intel ligibly, though she was full grown. The girl has been 1( carefully educated since that time, by Friedrich Eck, the teacher to whom she was confided by the municipal authorities of Offenbach. She is now able to give some account of herself, and the result has been• published by Herr Eck in a pamphlet just printed at Frankfort. What can be collected from her is that before she was 5 years old she was seized end carried away from her mother, who lived, according to her description, in a large house, like a castle, with three towers, and pro- ' bably situated somewhere in Hungary. For some 15 ' or 16 years afterwards the lived in a place under •, ground, in the midst of a forest, where she was tended . by an old woman called Bertha, and a man named Eleazar used to bring food and clothes for both of them. About seven years after her arrival there, a little baby, two or three months old, named Adolf, was brought to the subterranean dwelling, and remained there from that • time. No instruction was given to .either of the children, , but they were kindly treated. In October, 1853, their foster-mother Bertha took the girl out of the cavern, put her into a carriage drawn by two horses, and conveyed , ' her to the place where she was abandoned, near Aschaf fenburg, whence she wandered about ti ttil she was found by the country people. The little boy - was left behind in the underground abode. Such is Vie story which Herr Eck has been able to gather from the girl's broken recollections. The Austrian Government .has directed all possible researches to be made by the local authori ties to c!ear up this mysterious affair, The departures from the Port of London for thtl Aus tralian colonies during the past week have compris 12 vessels-5 to Port Philip, 2to Adelaide, 2to - .New Zealand, 1 to Portland-bay, 1 to Sydney, and 1 to Hobart Town, with an ag4regata capacity of 7,009 tons. The rates of freight still exhibit great flatness. FLOODS IN THE TEES.—The heavy rams which have recei,tly fallen have caused heavy floods in the Tees dur ing the past week. On Sunday week great quantities of wheat, &-., came down the river at Stockton, and amongst other things an entire stock of corn, on the top of which a man was observed sitting. LADY GRANVILLE'S LOSS AT THE CORONATION.—• The Moscow correspondent of Le Nord gives the fol lowing curious story —" On the day of the coronation and at the moment when the cortege was entering the ICrem!in, a rnagnifloent pearl necklace worn by Lady Granville broke, and the pearls, each of which was of great value, were scattered at her feet. Her ladyship did not evince the slightest emotion at the'circumstance, but proceeded on her way, leaving behind her the rem nants of an ornament which would be a fortune to any one less wealthy than the 'al.) , of the English Ambas sador." AN ANTI-VEGETARIAN VIRGIN.—One of our north country pitmen, who had turned vegetarian, went a courting to a plucky lass in the colliery village, and "popped the question." "06," said she, "go along with you ! Do you think I'm going to be flesh of your flesh, and you ' living on cabbages ? Get a vegetable .narrow, man ; I'm not an animal of your sort. And off she bounced—leaving him, like Lord Ullin, "lament- Gateshead Observer. 'THE FATAL CASE OF PRACTICAL 'TOEING. Joseph Franci , , the man remanded last week, as reported in The Sun, was hraught up again on Saturday before the county magistrates sitting at Bath, on a charge of having killed Thomas Burridge, a labourer with whom he was at work at Charterhouse Hinton, a village about four miles from that city, by throwing a barley-fork at him. He was committed to take his trial at the next a , sizos on a charge of manslaughter. The coroner's jury returned a similar yordiot. / ECLIPSE OF THE MOoN.—There will be a nearly total eclipse of the moon on Monday next, the 13th inst. It will commence at 21 minutes past 9 p.m , and end at 27 minutes past midnight. It will be visible at Greenwich. PRESENTS FOR QUEEN VICTORIA.—A. letter dated Siam, July 13, says, " the British ship China is loading here with presents for the Qaeen of England from the King of Siam. Amongst them is an elephant of a re markable colour, and which will, ne doubt, on iti arrival in England, cause some little excitement." THE GREAT BELL or WESTMINSTER. --WEST HARTLE. POOL, & Im l a y, Oct. 5 —The s c h ooner Wave, hioncrief master, of wiapiach, which was chartered for the con veyance of the great boll for the Westminster clock to London, was taken out of Mr. Pile's graving duck on Tuesday last. Having taken on board the remaining portion of her cargo—consisting of pig iron and coke— the Wave sailed this evening for her destination, where she may be expected in the course of the ensuing week. A OVRINKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF HonsFs.—A few days ago we met a gentleman from Alabama, who gave ns a piece' of information in regard to ascertaining the ago Gf a horse, after he or she has passed the ninth year, which was new to iv, and will be, we are sure, to most of our readers. It is this :—After the horse is nine yours old, a er nkle comes on ti.e eyelid at the upp'r corner of the lower lid, and every year thereafter lie has one well defined wrinkle for each ye •r of his age over nine. If, for instance, a hors© bus three wrinkles, he is twelve; if fiur, he is thirteen. Add the number d wrinkles to nine, and you will always get it. So says the gentleman ; and he is confident it will never fail. As a good many p o op', have horses over Linl, it is easily tried. If true, the horse dentist must give up his trade,--,South ern Plantee. '~.~r 2 Per Con s° ;ice bit bit kidxie bit retto R it pit Jardi, Pit 3 1)s i Dit. 'ark Fitt Ditl Conk.] retati the worsl
