Hitherto the entire property of the shareholders in Joint stock Banks has been liable for the debts and engagements of the Bank of which they were proprietors, and the risks and inconveniences which have occasionally occurred therefrom have necessarily deterred many from investing their capital in shares in such undertakings. The Joint-stock Banking Companies Amendment Acts, passed expressly to remove this uncertain risk, and to give confidence in Joint-stock Banks, have entirely obviated this objection as regards Banks of limited liability, and the " Metropolitan and Provincial Bank (limited)," has been established under the express provisions of those Acts, so that no shareholder therein can possibly be liable for any sum beyond the amount of the shares he holds. The following tabular statem en t o f th e b us i ness resu l ts of four of the London Joint-stock Banks to the 30th June last, clearly indicates their advancing success, and the present market value of their shares. •-.1 0 1 . • ' g ..4 0 C . 44 ct 8 •,:, m 74 i 1. ,; c/J 6 4-.2 4 4 < 2 0 ~t t Z 73 • Joint-Stock Banks. c- ) _..c, ~.... 0 , = c ,•-• o • . .. ... ~.)

The Liverpool Commercial Banking Company, originally established with unlimited liability, have also taken advan tage of the new principle, and the following is an extract from the Report presented at the General Meeting held on the 9th of March last :—" It is in a high degree pleasing to the Directors to be enabled to state, as they confidently do, that the principle of ' limited liability' adopted by the Bank has so fully justified their hopes. The general business of the Bank has never been better; no branch of it has suffered ; on the contrary, new and valuable accounts are added, bringing an increase of business, while some substantial and valuable proprietors, who objected to hold shares under 4 unlimited liability,' have joined the Bank as shareholders; the number of proprietors is increased, and the price of the Bank's shares shows that they are considerably enhanced in public estimation." Powers are taken in the articles of association to estab lish branch banks in the metropolis and the provinces, as goon as the business operations of the Lank justify its ex tension. A deposit of £2 per share on the number of shares applied for must be paid to the Ccmpany's bankers, or, if more con venient, may be forwarded to the Secretary (if by cheque, to bo crossed "Bank of London"), who will forthwith Zcturn the banker's receipt for the amount.

By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample ev id ence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the vario wh us kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles uponwhich their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture." —Medical Circular.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1861. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, Moic D AY. The Royal Mail steamship Africa, Captain Shan non, arrived late last night, with adviccs from Now York to the 25th ult., and 5,80 G dcls. in specie. The North Star had arrived at New York from Aspinwall, with 953,340 dole. in spcele. A petition for the expulsion of Mr. Russell from the United States having been presented to Mr Seward, he replied as follows : "Department of State, Washington, Sept. 21. " Many intelligent and patriotic citizens have ap. plied to me by memorial, asking the attention of the Government to what they represent as treasonable matter, contained in a letter bearing the date of Washington, August 10, published in the London Times, and they express their conviction that the statements made in that communication are untrue, and that it is the design of the writer to bring the credit and fame of this Government into disrepute in foreign countries. It has been a habit of the Go vernment of the United States to take no notice of representations, however obnoxious, made by the press of foreign nations, or even injurious utterances made by Ministers or other agents for foreign Powers, in the ordinary transaction of their own affairs. The Government, on the contrary, has hitherto recognised as worthy of its observation only the language and the action of the executive organs of foreign States. For myself, I confess I have not read the publica tion complained of, and I am quite sure that it has not arrested the attention of any other member of the Administration, engrossed, as we all necessarily are with urgent public duties and cares. However erroneous the facts or the inferences of the writer may be, they nevertheless stand on his individual authority, while the whole patriotic press of our country is free, and is interested to refute them. The Government of the United States depends, not upon the favour or goodwill of foreign nations, but upon the just support of the American people. Its credit and its fame seem to me now, more than ever heretofore, safe in their keeping. If it be assumed that the obnoxious paper may do any harm here, is it not a sufficient reply that probably not 50 copies of the London Times ever End their way to our shores ? If it be said again, that the obnoxious communication has been widely published in the United States, it seems to me a sufficient rejoinder that the censure of a magnanimous Government in that case ought to fall on those of its'own citizens who reproduce the libel, rather than on the foreigner who wrote it exclusively for remote publication. Finally, interference with the press, even in the case of an existing insurrection, can be justified only on the ground of public danger. I do not see any such danger in the present case, even if one foreigner does pervert our hospitality to shelter himself in writing injurious publications against us for a foreign press. A hundred other foreigners as intelligent, as virtuous, and as respectable as he is are daily en rolling themselves in the army of the United States, to detend and maintain the Union as the chief hope of humanity in all countries and for all ages. Could there be a better illustration of that great funda mental truth of our system, that error of opinion may safely be tolerated when reason is left free to combat it? " WILLIAM 11. SEWARD." The following important documents respecting the seizure of property belonging to Southerners had been published "Washington, Sept. 21. " Sir,—ln order to prevent seizures of property belonging to citizens of insurrectionary States, not warranted by the Acts of Congress relating to that subject, it is thought advisable to direct the special attention of the Marshals and District Attorneys of the United States to the provisions of these Acts : " The sth section of the Act of July 13 provides that all goods and chattels, wares and merchandise, coming from or proceeding to a State or place de clared to be in insurrection, together with the ves sel or vehicle conveying the same, or conveying persons to or from such State or place, shall be for feited to the United States_ This section obviously applies to all property in transit, or purchased, or provided with a view to transit between loyal and disloyal States, and especially to property forming the subject of commercial intercourse. Such pro perty, wherever found, is liable to seizure, and the only redress of parties wiio think themselves aggrieved is by appeal to the Secretary of the Trea sury, who is invested by law with full power of mitigation and remission. " The first section of an Act, approved on the 6th of August, declares that if any person or per sons, his, her, or their agent, attorney, or employe, shall purchase or acquire, sell or give any property, of whatever kind or description, with intent to use or employ the same, or suffer the same to be used or employed in aiding or abetting or promoting such insurrection, or any person or persons engaged therein, or if any person or persons being the owners of any such property shall knowingly use or employ, or suffer the use or employment of the same as aforesaid, all such property is hereby de clared to be lawful subject of prize and capture wherever found. " No doubt can be entertained that this section was well considered, and that its operation Was in tended to be limited to property used in further ance of the insurrection only. Seizures under the Act of July 13 should be made by the officers or under the direction of the officers of the Treasury , Department, and all District Attorneys and Mar shals of the United States should afford all practi cable counsel and aid in the execution of the law, " Seizures under the Act of August 6 should be made by the Marshal of the District in which such property may be found, under the general or par ticular direction of the District Attorney, or other superior authority. " For such seizures there is such non-power of mitigation or remission in the Secretary of the Trea sury; but the District Attorney or other superior authority may direct the discontinuance of any pro ceeding in relation thereto, and the restoration of the property seized. " it will be s!en, from an inspection of these pro visions of the Acts of Congress, that no property is confiscated or subjected to forfeiture except such as is in transit or provided for transit to or from in surrectionary States, or used for the promotion of the insurrection. Real estate, bonds, promissory notes, moneys on deposit, and the like are therefore not subject to seizure or confiscation in the absence of evidence of such unlawful use. "All officers, while vigilant in the presentation of the conveyance of property to or from insurrec tionary States, or the use of it for insurrectionary purpcses, are expected to be careful in avoiding un necessary vexation and cost by seizures not war ranted by law. War. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State." The Government having accepted the military services of the Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres, they had joined Gen. M'Clelland's staff. The young Count de Penthievre, son of the Prince de Joinville, would enter the United States' Naval Academy. MGjor Bausenwein, late Aide-de. Camp to Garibaldi, had been commissioned in the military service. Prince Salm Salm of Prussia had been appointed Colonel of the Kentucky Cavalry. Beyond a few reconnaisances, some slight skir mishes, and a couple of reviews, nothing of interest had occurred on the Potomac. Messrs. J. W. Wall, of Burlington, New Jersey; G. L. Browne, of Cooperstown, New York; Pierce Butler, of Philadelphia ; and Ross Winans, of Bal timore, had been released from Fort Lafayette, through the influence of friends. Their places in the fort had been taken by ex-Governor More head, of Kentucky; H. E. Johnston, of Baltimore; and John Bateman, a person who had arrived at Portland from Liverpool and Quebec. The Federal military authorities continued to re turn escaping slaves of loyal Marylanders, though not a few made their way into the free States. On the Virginian side the negroes had all long since . disappeared, but very few wer e w i t hi n the Federal lines. and Comnzercial List The New York Shipping takes rather a dismal view of the position of affairs in Kent "The t aarnyd status t i at s a s s o o ri . It says ft h eyotona--a- appears to remain unchanged, and the public expectation naturally centres upon the Western division, where a crisis is undoubtedly approaching. The Confede rate troops appear to be gradually advancin g u p on the Federal lines in Kentucky, the neutrality pro clamation notwithstanding, and the long-threatened attack on Cairo, may actually occur at an early period. That Kentucky, as well as Missouri, will be the scene of a bitter civil war would seem to be beyond chance. The reverses which the Federal forces have sustained in Missouri have produced a very unfavourable impression in trade circles here, though a comparatively large amount of business has transpired during the three days which have intervened since our last, and prices are generally well supported." The surr en d er o f L ex i ngton t o th e C on f e d era t e forces took place on the 20th. The following is the telegram announcing it:— " Hudson, Monday, Sept. 23. "The following account of the siege of Lexing ton is furnished to the Si. T. oufs lepublican by 11. Braelhurn, one of Col. Mulligan's soldiers, who left Lexington on Saturday morning : " The fort was surrendered on Friday afternoon. The men fought for 59 hours without water, and had only three barrels of vinegar to quench their thirst. "'Daring all that time there were no springs or wells of water in the camp ground, as has been stated. The supply of water was entirely from the river. There were breastworks all round the camp, with the exception of the portion next the river. It was here that the hardest fighting took place. "'The rebels procured a large number of hemp bales and rolled them in advance, and under their cover gradually succeeded in securing a position in the rear. " They then cut off the - supply of water, and had the fort completely surrounded. " They made but few charges upon the breast ' works during the entire siege. Their object seemed to be to surround the fort and cut off the supply of water, and, having succeeded in this, they awaited until Colonel Mulligan was Compelled to yield to a foe more terrible than 27,000 Confederates who surrounded him. " Previous to his surrender he offered to take a position on a level spot of found and give General Price the odds of four to One in a fair and open fight, but no attention was paid to it. " After the surrender the rebels mounted the breastworks, and seemed mad with joy and delight. " ' As soon as the surrender took place they took down the national flag and trailed it in the dust. " 'An immense amount of gold, ;;PpOsed To — be about a quarter of a million of dollars, fell into the possession of the rebels. /t was taken from the banks and buried by Colonel Mulligan in the camp ground some time ago, but the reb e l s s p ee dily dis covered and unearthed t. " Colonel Mulligan wept like a child when he found himself compelled to surrender. " The morning after the surrender the men were all released on parole, and ferried across the river. The officers were retained. The loss of the rebels is not known, but it is thought to be not less than 1,000 killed and wounded. ' The first attack of the rebels p rove d more disas siege w hi c h f o ll owe d. us to the last attack they h r oe"uy,s Foraw to e r t e he ed m nagy a than g.o erct tiwhnoe burying their dead." Commenting upon this event, the New York, Times says : " This disaster to the national arms in Missouri seems likely to be followed by others unless the most energetic measures have been taken to pre vent them, which we at present hear nothing of. General Prentiss, who has assumed command in Northern Missouri, started from Quincy, proceed ing west, on Sunday last. lie is now reported to be west of Brookfield, and cut off by a body of rebels, supposed to be a part Price's command. The number of men with him is not stated, but we judge from the tenour of our despatches that it is totally inadequate to the emergency. Another re port states that a body of 3,000 or 4,000 rebels is rapidly marching on St. Joseph, and will probably make an attack on that place to-day.". Governor Gamble, of Missouri, had called a meet ing of the State Convention. During an attempt of the Federalists to reconquer Lexington two de tachments, who were out reconnoitering, encoun tered and fired into each other. Five men were , killed and a number wounded. The New York press assails General Fremont for not relieving Mulligan. Kentucky was approaching a state of anarchy. Under date Louisville, the 21st of September, we learn that the Confederate General (Buckner) had advanced on Elizabethtown, and issued the follow ing proclamation : tioc, but on that very account it may be the better sign of things unseen, and the better serve to en lighten the Administration respecting the temper of the public mind : " ' " Albemarle, Aug. 29. Dear Mosley, --I am utterly disgusted with your men, Jeff. Davis and his man Walker, and I want to know if you will publish my spleen if I utter it. I have a letter just from Manassas. Our troops there, one day last week, had nothing for breakfast but salt and potatoes, were sent eight mik s,,at. double quick, to meet a false alarm, and got neither dinner nor supper when they came back to Now, Mosley, it is evident to me that your Government is rotten in the head. Davis ought to bo spiked up where men can see him. You have won a great victory, and got no fruits from it. You have had charge 0f 3 4116 Government for six months, and have done nothing. No meat, no bread, no powder, no waggons, no anything but salt and potatoes, and yet you sing out "The Go vernment has the entire confidence of the eiithole people." Now, it has not mine, and' want to knowl whether I can get a fair hearing. The only smart thing I have seen is your proposition to post pone the Presidential election. That is excellent, most excellent. I trust that it may save us. If I were in Congress I would refuse one cent of appro priations for the war, holy though it is, until Walker was turned out and somebody put in his i p t l . ace I w d it o h n, s t en k s n e o e w nou p g a h vi t s o o a r tte w nd al t k o er th , ebudutieshave f seen enough to raise suspicions in my mind that neither is the right man in the right place. Why, then talk about the confidence of the people in the Administration ? I don't feel any such confidence myself. I believe lam not singular in my distrust. If you editors would only speak out full-toned about the abuses which stink under your nostrils things would act right. It is a shame which cries to heaven for vengeance when you men of the pen are talking about confidence, &e., and our soldiers are made to trot 16 miles on one meal of potatoes and salt. There is rottenness enough in the medical staff alone to damn any Administration. Why hoodwink the people ? Your Government is rotten and stinks l You must smell it at last, and the sooner the better. You will not smell any stronger to Yankee nostrils after you turn Walker out and make Davis the mark. They know you cannot advance upon them for want of victuals and vehicles, and your weakness remains patent to them, until you reform the abuses of your Administration. The smartest thing that England did in the Crimean war was the reformation of abuses in full view of the enemy, and her rival, too. Your enemies know you are rotten. You will not tell them anything new by turning out Davis and his whole crew, which I am decidedly in favour of, if they do not show themselves more efficient. But all you editors sing hallelujahs to Davis and Co. It frets me. Your soldiers are starving, but so long as the President and generals can wear fine linen, &c., you sing lo weans, &c. It will not do my friend. Somebody must tell the people the plain truth, or we are ruined. Freezing and star vation are staring us in the face for the next winter, and you call on the women and children to give up their blankets and bread for the soldiers. The women have supported the war so far_ You could not be in the field to-day but for their needles. l lYou have had the Government for seven months, and you confess yourlinability to do anything by your daily ways, and still you speak of confidence. It waning hourly, I assure you, and unless the press speaks out plainly, and that soon, all is lost. I do not know any politicians, and I do not care for any; but I do care for my country, and the brave men who are fighting for us, and it stirs my gall to see them treated worse than I treat my dogs and hogs. Do not be afraid of showing your weakness to :the Yankees, for they know it. Show your strength by putting things to rights at home, and you will then be feared abroad.—Very truly yours, " F. M.'" The steamer Talisman arrived at Aspinwall on the 10th ult. with advices from Carthagena. The report of Arboleda having taken Popayan is con firmed, and Anticquia had declined to enter into any treaty with Mosquera. General Gutierrez had reached Tunda, but was prevented from making any farther advance, from the fact of Canal having a large force on the way to meet him. Lozano was located at Nieva with 1,500 men, and Espinosa was at Alapel. A most shameful outrage was committed by the people at Mompos on the persons of Senores Ospina and Cairo, who were sent from Bogota to Carthagena as prisoners. On passing through Mompos they were stoned by the mob in a most brutal manner, and Senor Cairo, was seriously injured in the head. Senor Ospina also, received severe contusions. A Convention between the Governor of Panama and Senor Murillo, the agent of General Mosquera, had terminated in the adoption of a project for the recognition of the Government instituted by the latter. The following contains the latest items respecting the blockade : ELIZABETH PORT, Sept. 12.—The British brig Hannah Easter had been seized by the United States' Marshal. BOSTON, Sept. 24.—The bark Florence, from Malta, has been seized by the port surveyor, she being partly owned in Charleston. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.---The ship Marathon, from Cagliari, was seized by order of the collector of that port, under the act of confiscation, she being owned in New Orleans. CHARLESTON, Sept. 7.—Four persons telonging to the crow of the privateer Jeff. Davis have been arrested, charged with conspiring to kill the captain and officers of the privateer, and take the vessel to New York. BOSTON, Sept. 22.—The British schooner Revere, of and from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, with a cargo of salt and fish, arrived at this port last evening, in charge of a prize crew from the United States' steamer Cambridge. The Revere was captured while attempting to run the blockade at Beau fort, North Carolina. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.—The Inquirer publishes a letter dated at Port of Spain, August 24, which states that the privateer Sumter was lying at a place about 40 miles distant from there, known as the Bocasses, which is the entrance to the Gulf of Paria. There are two other channels be •ides the Bocasses lending to the Port of Spain, but they a re obstructed by rocks, and vessels generally take that in which the Sumter lies. She generally remains under the shawdow of the reeks, and the writer thinks that she was in this hiding-place when the Keystone State arrived at Port of Spain in pursuit some days ago. NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—A telegram from Boston, received yesterday, says—" The bark Florence, from Malta, was seized this morning by the port surveyor, in consequence of being partly owned in Charleston." In the United States District Court, on the 21st, Judge Betts delivered the fol lowing judgment respecting seized vessels—The bark Hio wate and cargo of tobacco ; vessel and cargo condemned.

The schooner Shark and cargo; vessel and:cargo condemned. The schooner Falcon and cargo : vessel and cargo con demned. All the vessels and cargoes condemned will be sold at public auction by the United States' Marshall, who will report the gross proceeds of the sales to the prize com missioners. The proctor for the captors then reports the name of the vessel which seized the prize and the name of each individual composing the crew. After deducting the costs in each case the prize commissioners make a final re port of the proce ads of each case in their hands. The Court then enters a final 'decree, distributing the money among the captors according to the statute. BEVERLLY, Sept. 18.—Bark Revolution, of New Orleans, which arrived here from Trapani, with a cargo of salt, Las been seized by the Government. She is partly owned in Boston. PROTINCETOWN, Sept. 24,—A fisherman arrived here reports that he was spoken on the 21st inst., 25 miles south east from Grand Menial, by the R. B. Sumner, of New Orleans.

" The Legislature of Kentucky have been faithless to the will of the people. They have endeavoured to make your gallant State a fortress, in which, under the guise of neutrality, the armed forces of the United States might secretly prepare to subjugate alike the people of Kentucky and the Southern States. It was not until after months of covet and open violation of your neutrality, with large encampments of National troops on your terri tory, and a recent official declaration of the Pre sident of the United States not to regard your neutral position, coupled with a well-prepared scheme to seize an additional point in your terri tory, which was of vital importance to the safety and defence of Tennessee, that the troops of the Southern Confederacy, on the invitation of the people of Kentucky occupied a defensive post in your State. In doing so, the commander announced his purpose to evacuate your territory simulta neously with a similar movement on behalf of the National forces, whenever the Legislature of Ken tucky shall undertake to enforce against both belli gerents the strict neutrality which they have so often declared. I return among you, citizens of Kentucky, at the head of a force, the advance of which is composed entirely of Kentuckians. We do not come to molest any citizen, whatever may be his political opinions. Unlike the agents of the Northern despotiem, who seek to reduce us to the condition of dependent vassals, we believe that the recognition of the civil rights of citizens is the foundation of constitutional liberty, and that the claim of the President of the United States to de clare martial law, to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, and to convert every bar rack and prison in the land into a Bastile, is nothing but the claim which other tyrants have assumed to subjugate a free people. The Confederate States occupy Bowling-green as a defensive position. I renew the pledges of commanders of other columns of Confederate troops to retire from the territory of Kentucky on the same conditions which will govern their movements. I further give you my own as surance that the force under my command will be used as an aid to the Government of Kentucky in carrying out the strict neutrality desired by its people whenever they undertake to enforce it against the two belligerents alike. "S. 13 — BUCKNER, Brigadier-General, C.S.A. "Bowling-Gre en , Sept. 18, 1861." General Anderson had issued a counter procla mation "Louisville, Kentucky, Sept. 21. "Kentuckians,—Called by the Legislature of this, my native State, I hereby assume command of this department. I come to enforce, not to make laws, and, God willing, to protect your property and your lives. The enemies of the country have dared to invade our soil. Kentucky is in danger. She has vainly striven to keep peace with her neighbours. Our State is now invaded by those who professed to be her friends, but who now seek to conquer her. No true son of Kentucky can longer hesitate as to his duty to his State and country. The invader must, and, God willing, will be ex pelled. The leader of the hostile farces, who now approaches, is, I regret to say, a Kentuckian, mak ing war on Kentucky and Kentuckians. Let all past differences of opinion be overlooked. Every one who now rallies to the support of our Union and of our State is a friend. Rally, then, ray country men, around the flag our fathers loved, and which has shielded us so long. I call you to arms for self-defence, and for the protection of all that is dear to freemen. Let us trust in God, and do our duty as did our fathers.

It commenced by stating that, " amidst the manifold calamities which are daily befalling the world, it is a source of great consolation to witness the splendid manifestations of devotion to the Holy See, and unshaken fidelity to the great centre of Catholic unity, the chair of St. Peter." The Pope, however, has been persecuted and plundered by lawless and violent men; and Dr. Cullen says that an anti-Catholic and infidel press at home and abroad not only defends what has been done in Italy, - but has without ceasing " fulminated and poured forth ealUmnies the vilest as well as the most base less against the Holy Father, his Government, and all his most tried and most devoted servants ; while for the scenes of sacrilege, of incendiarism, and bloodshed which are daily enacted in the invaded provinces of the Church, and the neighbouring kingdom of Naples—scenes unparalleled save in our own sad records of Cromwellian barbarity —these same apostles , as they would fain have us believe them, of humanity, liberty, and good government, have not a solitary word of reprobation. Against the captivity or exile of 58 Neapolitan bishops, forcibly removed from their sees—against the now almost daily perpetrated and cold-blooded murders of unoffending priests—against the burning of whole towns, with their defenceless populations of aged and infirm, women and children, not a word of execration is heard on the part of these self constituted and self-styled sympathisers of oppressed nationalities all over the world." This is the sort of contemporary history the Roman Catholics of this city are taught from the pulpit by the highest authority in their Church. One may assume that events are represented and interpreted in the same manner in the Catholic University, and in the Colleges devoted to the edu cation of the priests and the higher classes through out the country. It would be the same in the na tional schools if the denominational system were established. After a preamble in this spirit, the Archbishop establishes the Confraternity of Peter's Pence in the following terms : "On and after this, the first Sunday in October, the solemnity of the Holy Rosary—the auspicious day upon which the Church celebrates the victory gained, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, by the arms of Chris tendom over the enemies of the Christian name at Lepanto —the pious Sodality or Confraternity of Peter's Pence is .hereby established in our Pro-Cathedral Church of the Im maculate Conception, Marlboro'-street; and we invite the faithful, and those in particular of the parishes annexed to the above church to associate themselves to it." He charges all heads of religious houses, priests, &c., to establish branch associations, the members of which are to recite daily three times the' Our Father," the " Hail Mary," and the " Glory be to the Father,"—to implore the Almighty to put an end to the calamities of the Church, and to restore the Sovereign Pontiff to the full enjoyments of his sacred rights. Boxes are to be placed to receive Peter's Pence ; a monthly return is to be made of the sums collected, and there is to be a central board of adminitttration in Dublin. The members are assured the same privileges as the Arch-confra ternity of Peter's Pence at Rome, which has been enriched by many indulgences. The C'ork. Examiner of Saturday evening contains a letter from Mr. Smith O'Brien, written to a friend in Paris, in which he gives the impressions pro- duced on his mind by his visit to Hungary, ex pressing the strongest sympathy with the Hunga rian cause, and admiration of the Hungarian people. He says : " I expected to find in the Hungarians a manly and chi valrous spirit, but I was not disposed to expect a very high degree of intellectual cultivation. To my surprise, I dis covered an extent of intellectual culture which is not sur passed in any part of Europe. Not only at Pesth, but in the remote parts of Northern Hungary, I met with many persons who could speak Latin with as much fluency as they speak their mother tongue. A knowledge of French is almost universal among the educated classes, and in tra velling on the continent I have nowhere found so many that could speak English as in Hungary." He found that the Hungarians possessed in an eminent degree the characteristics which are EX pressed by the word " gentleman." The total number of sheep in the fair of Ballin asloe was 73,248, of which 69,811 were sold, leav ing 3,437 unsold. The total is less than the number in 1860 by 6,840, and less than in 1859 by 18,671, showing a falling off in the supply of nearly 20 per cent in two years. This seems strange when we consider that the lands of Connaught are more extensively devoted to sheep-breeding than for merly. Disease among the flocks, occasioned by the prevalence of wet weather, accounts, in some measure, for the diminution. The other causes assigned are lamb-feeding for the Dublin market and for export, which brings a quick return of money to the farmer, and the facilities afforded by the railways to send up the sheep to Smithfield whenever the market is favourable, which was done to a considerable extent during the past year. If we had the statistics which the railways could give relating to this traffic, we should find a large in crease probably, instead of a diminution, in the business of sheep-breeding beyond the Shannon. There is, certainly, no falling off in the demand for mutton, or in the prices which the butchers charge. The prices rose on Saturday from 2s to 4s for wethers, and Is to 2s for ewes. Some of those who purchased the day before re-sold at a considerable profit. Ewes ranged from 36s to 58s, the top prict being 60s, and wethers from 36s to 58s, the top price being 635. Some idea of the transactions may be obtained from the following quotations :—Mr. Hardy, of Mount Prospect, sold nearly 2,000 ewes and wethers at prices ranging from 40s to 54s ; the average may be set down as 490. Mr. Shiel sold a prime lot of wethers at the top price, 635. The same gentleman sold 440 sheep at prices varying from 56s to 60s.

Yesterday a match of a somewhat extraordinary nature, which, for a considerable time past, has been a subject of much discussion in the chess-playing world, took place in the large room of the w(11- known cigar divan in the Strand. Mr. L. Paulson, a native of Germany, who has passed the last eight years of his life in America, and brought with him to this country a great reputation as a chess-player, had publicly offered to play, blindfolded, 10 games against 10 gentlemen simultaneously. He had also announced that, being anxious to contend against the strongest players, he would challenge any one in England to try his skill against him, either for honour or wager. This challenge was responded to by many more than the prescribed number of anta gonists ; but, eventually, it was arranged that the following should be pitted against the intrepid Saxon:-- 1. Mr. Mackenzie, amateur 2. Mr. Sabouroff, secretary of the Russian Embassy 3. Mr. Maude, member of the London Chess Club 4. Mr. Howard, member of the St. James's Club 5. Mr. Barnes, member of the St. George's Club 6. Mr. Burden, amateur 7. Mr. Campbell, amateur 8. Mr. Robey, amateur 9. Mr. Lamb, amateur 10. Mr. Wormald, hon. see. of the St. James's Club. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the hour fixed for opening the campaign, a large assemblage of visitors had collected in the room, including many eminent chess-players and lovers of the art, and several ladies. The tables for the chess-boards extended along the whole length of the room, the number of each being indicated by conspicuous figures, for the information and guidance of the company. As soon as the ten players had taken their places, Mr. Paulson ascended a table at the side of the room amidst encouraging . cheers, and seated himself upon a chair with his back towards the chess-boards, which he could by no possibility see. He is a young man of fair complexion, 22 years of age, though looking older, tall and slimly built, with an unusually high, broad, and handsome fore head. He first distinguished himself as an adept at chess in 1857, when he entered the lists at New York against the celebrated Morphy. On a subse quent occasion, while blindfolded, he played simul taneously as many as 15 games, and won the great majority of them. Yesterday he had fewer oppo nents arrayed against -laim, but among them were some amateurs of great reputation, whom the most practised in the amusement might be proud of van quishing, even if in the operation he hod the full aid of his vision. Soon after two o'clock Mr. Paul son began the contest by requesting each of his antagonists to make the same move, "Kings Pawn 2." No. 1 first replied, and the rest having in their regular order also done so according to their own theories or notions of the game, the battle proceeded very smartly for a considerable time, Mr. Paulson seldom taking long to deliberate upon the line of tactics he should adopt. Mr. Kling, the composer of chess problems, undertook to announce to him the moves as they were made upon the different boards, a duty in which he was assisted by Mr. M Ivan, son of the eminent photographer. Mr. Paul eon's marvellous powers of memory soon beta me apparent, for although the play in some instances was extremely complicated, and each game varied from the other, his recollection never seemed to fail him. Between five and six o'clock he made a mis taken move in game No. 7, in which he was opposed to Mr. Campbell, a very expert and successful amateur, and he resigned that game. At ten, M. Sabouroff, his Russian adversary, whose skill he had rather underrated, achieved a victory. About this period he went very cautiously to work, once taking as long as half an hour to deliberate upon a move ; but then each of his enemies had ample time for consideration during the interval which elapsed before his turn to play came round. The blindfolded champion was also placed at another and a rather unfair disadvantage, every one of those against whom he was contending being surrounded by a knot of persons discussing the appearance of the board and the various ways in which Mr. Paul son could be defeated. At half-past ten Mr. Mac kenzie saw he had no chance, and resigned, a result which was the signal for a loud burst of applause. Up to this stage the play continued without inter mission, but although the room became more crowded and the atmosphere extremely oppressive, Mr. Paulson refused any refreshment beyond a glass of lemonade. Again the game was renewed, the chances on both sides remaining nearly even, and the play being throughout splendid. At 20 minutes to one Mr. Robey (No. 8) offered "to draw," a proposition which was accepted by Mr. Paulson, who, however, had the bsst position on the board. Almost immediately afterwards Mr. Barnes (No. 5) made a similar offer, which was also acceded to. At one Mr. Lamb (Nov 9) followed Mr. Barnes's example, and Mr. Paulson also accepted this pro posal. This left four games yet to be played, Mr. Paulson baying lost two and gained one. Another half hour elapsed, during which intense interest in the playing was evinced by the now diminished body of spectators who remained ; asd another an tagonist offered a " draw," which was once again accepted. The game now became " fast and furious," and at ten minutes to two Mr. Wormald (No. 10) t s h u e gg t e o s u t r ed naa ' draw," mocitboldly dly bu d t eo t l he ine u d nd to au l n e td t e hl y m mg es h o t op o o f in that way with all the honours of war, and was pluck.warmly A g r t e e two te m d for r. this Wormald a k soafwh his i boldness oa se was and pluck.

Consequently there only remained one game to be played, and tts both sides were now even the excitement of the evening, it may be readily imagided, reached its climax. Mr. Paulson and Mr. Burden (No. 6) only kept possession of the field, and their skill and chances for a long time appeared to be very equally balanced. At length, at 20 minutes past two this morning, Mr. Burden made a happy move, and was declared victor, the game having lasted continuously and without break for more than 12 hours. Notwithstanding the extraordinary mental effort on the part of Mr. Paulson during this long spell, he did not appear much exhausted; and although he had lost by this one game he was applauded as energetically as if he had been entirely successful. During the contest Mr. Buckle, the author of " The History of Civilisation," who, among his other qualifications, is a good chess-player ; Mr. Lowenthal, a popular chess lecturer ; and many other celebrities, were in the room, and took great interest in the game. r o r r a n o g f e t n h i e o n t d s i v f a ca n . p r o li p h r e i e a t , th g e a m ve at s c a li ti b s y fa l‘ c r ti r o . n itics' to the th numerous company present.e The Neapolitans favourable to the fallen dynasty have got up a petition for the restoration of Francis 11., which is to be presented to the rowers of Europe. it , a The y y have succeeded in canvassinn. twenty-six names for n the document was taken by one of the number to Rome to orate every to submitted to the ex -King.
