THE SUN. LONDON, M I ONDAY EvENING, NOVEMB.EIt :3, 1856, are about to submit to the Board of Works is a wretched abortion, and the decision has been arrived at in a spirit unworthy of the responsible position they occupy. Whatever be the expen diture involved in tie adoption of a plan which will answer the intended purpose, by carrying the sewage to a poisi from whence it cannot pos sibly.return to pollate the Thames and load the air of the metropolis and the adjacent towns with noisome exhalations, that purpose. is well worthy of it. We disdain--all right-thinking men must —setting a money value on human life. We leave that to the slaveholder ; and we cannot suffer it to be takes for granted that the entire burden of carrying the sewage to Sea Reach will fall on the metropolitan ratepayer. Neither can we admit the possibility of a plan of deodorisation being discovered ty way of excuse for inaction. The duty of the Metropolitan Board was to decide on a plan equal to the occasion, and to appeal to the justice of the Government for the aid they had a right to seek. It is not to be believed that aid would have been refused. The evils to be remedied, if to e large extent matter of local concern, to be remedied by local effort, are of national interest also. The pestiferous effiu. via of which the metropolis is to be rid though specially injurious to the poor, surges over and beyond the confined alley, area, and square. It penetrates the abode of royalty, invades the seats of legislature and judicature, and is fraught with danger to the most eminent of all classes in the land. Of this the Government cannot fail to be aware, and, being so, are not likely to evade a responsibility in the due exercise of which every individual member is personally interested. . Nor is this the only source of ! aid to which the Metropolitan Board have a right to look. The drainage to be carried out to sea must pass through tracts of marshy land, to the value of which a well-considered plan would greatly contribute. The owners could not expect to have this done for nothing—indeed, it is said, they would be but too glad to pay a fair modicum towards the taxa tion. Are do not see why Greenwich, Woolwich, Gravesend, &c., shiluld not be now or hereafter called on to avail themselves of the metropolitan sea outlet ; and, of course, if they do so, to contribute in due proportion to the cost. The more, in fact, the question of expenditure is examined, the more invalid will appear the plea on which the Metropolitan. Board would justify their perierse inaction, for. not a man of them but is well aware the plan they have decided on will not be carried out. We may seem to press too heavily on the Board—but a moment's reflec tion will show we do not. What have they done in other matters t Where is the new street from Southwark to Westminster ? Where any improve ment called for of any moment ? The Board, to all intents and purposes, are sunk in the sewage, and that flood would be a godsend that carried them, one anal all, out to sea. They are not the men we took them for, and, what is more, they are not the wen wanted. They are talkers, and not doers ; great at squabbles, but little where great deeds are to be done. Away with them, and let us have fresh men in their place. We eannot possibly lose by such an exchange. of the English langua;se came into fashion.

In former times they fought like lions against foreign despots, but not against home tyrants. They had not the old English feeling and we find little trace of it in Scotland until the Reformation, which first gave to the inhabitants of this country that view of civil independence which they have since maintained. His lordship pronounced a warm eulogium upon the devotion which the common alty of Scotland had ever displayed—in the time of Wallace when deserted by the noble?, and subsequently both at the Reformation and during the previous eccle siastical troubles. Coming to the Unien hegave agraphic picture of the new phases which it developed in the cp.reer of the Scottish courtier. He thought the removal of the Court to London bad one bad etTectin creating thatfalse shame among Scottish courtiers which arose from their nervousness when they were assailed with the sneers and taunts, and jeers of the English at Whitehall. Sir Per tinax Mac-Sycophant, who was "aye booing," was the embodiment of the Scottish character by the dramatists of the 18th century. But, unquestionably, great good arose to this country from the manner in which the re presentatives of Scotland in London hal always asserted their claims to a share in those offices which the English were at first disposed to regard as their own exclusive birthright. After eulogising the memory of Henry Dundas and the Scottish Jacobites his lordship glanced at three names as typical of Scotch character during the last eentury. Tne first, Duncan Forbes, of Culloden, about the greatest patriot and statesman Scotland ever bad, who ought to be more revered and honoured ; the tecond, David Hume, who was emphatically the man of the last century, although the jealousy of the English people and the English constitution which tinged all his writings was the fruit of a hatred engendered by the quips and scorns to which he and the Scotchmen of his time were subjected in London; the third, Robert Burns, who had preserved in a classic form which will go down to our latest posterity that language which bade fair to pass into a barbarous jargon. In conclusion, he alluded to the great influence for good which had arisen from our gracious Sovereign having taken up her residence for a short period of each year in Scotland. More through that than any other cause the impressions of English men with regard to Scotland had been fairly altered. He likewise briefly alluded to the great cause et educa tion, particularly to the amelioration of the great masses of people which our commerce and manufactures had brought together. The question of the day was, how were we to provide that education which ought to ad vance in proportion to the population 1 He could only say that every drop thrown into the ocean of general education was not to be despised, and might raise a train of thought which might ripen into powerful exertions for the common good. His lordship sat down amid loud cheers. RE-APPEARANCE OF MR. SPURGEON AT PARK-STREET CHAPEL. Yesterday forenoon Mr. Spurgeon, pursuant to notice privately circulated among his congregation, resumed the occupancy of his own pulpit in Park-street Chapel, South wark. A great many persons were admitted by tickets before the doors were opened to the public, and when the preacher entered, every nook and corner, as well in the body of the chapel as in the galleries, was densely crowded by an eager auditory. Mr. Spurgeon was conducted to the pulpit by the deacon" of hie chapel. He appeared quite recovered fiorn his recent indisposition. .11e looked serious, but 'there was nothing extraordinary in his countenance be yond that impulsive expression which seems to be the leading eharacteristic of hii features. The service commenced with a short prayer, after which Mr. Spurgeon gave out one of Watts' hymns, in which, it was declared by some present, one verse de picted the preacher's own state of mind : " The tumult of my thoughts Doth but enlarge my woe ; My spirit languishes ; my heart Is desolate and low." The hymn sung, Mr. Spurgeon read and expounded a psalm, and then invited his audience to "wait on the Lord in prayer." It was now the first allusion was made to the terrible catastrophe of Sunday fortnight. After invoking a blessing on his flock, the preacher proceeded as follows : " We areassembled here this day with mixed feelings of joy andsorry—joy that we meet each other again, and sorrow for those who have suffered bereavements. Thanks to Thy name !—thanks to Thy name I Thy servant . feared he should not have addressed this congregation again ; but Thou halt brought him from the fiery furnace, and not even a smell of fire has passed upon him. Thou hest, moreover, given Thy servant strength, and he desires now to confirm those great promises of free grace which the Gospel affords. Thou knowest, 0 God ! our feelings of sorrow. We must not open the sluices of our woe. Oh, God ! comfort those who are lingering in pain and suffering, and cheer those who have been bereaved. Let a blessing rest upon them, even the blessing of the cove nant of grace and of this world. And now, Lord, bless Thy people. We have loved one another--we have re joiced in each other's joys—we have wept together in sorrow. Thou hest welded us together, one in doctrine, one in practice, and one in holy love. Oh that it may be said of each that he is bound up in the bundle of life. Oh, Lord, we thank Thee for all the slander, calumny, and malice with which Thou hags allowed the enemy to honour us ; and grant that we . may never give them cause to blaspheme with reason.' Mr. Spurgeon con cluded wit h a personal reference to the various classes of his hearers, calling upon despisers to tremble, scof fers to weep, and bidding all true penitents rejoice. A. psalm was now snow, after which Mr. Spurgeon spoke as foll o w s i n reference to the melanchely occasion above referred to :—" Now, my dear friends, I almost regret that I should have occupied the pulpit this morning, because I feel totally unable to preach to your profit. I had thought, during the relaxation I have had since that terrible catastrophe, that I was thoroughly recovered ; bet, upon coming tick again to the same spot, and addressing you front this place, I experience the same painful feelings which well nigh prostrated me before. You will therefore, I am sure, my kind friends, excuse me if I make no allu sion, or scarcely any, to that subject. Indeed I feel that I could not preach upon a subject at all allied to it. f should be overwhelmed by the torrent of my feelinee e if I recurred to that dreadfol scene in which it was my lot to stand. God will overrule that event for good. It might not have arisen so much from the ra , (i ce o f me i as from som e s i mp l y w i cked intention o . isturb tn . e congregation-.

Many vexed questions still remain which must be filially and satisfactorily disposed of before the Precious Treaty can be regarded as anything better than a mere temporary armistice —a suspension of hostilities sufficient to enable Russia to regain her exhausted strength, and to sow dissension between her two most formidable opponents. With France and England cordially united she knows that she is unable to cope either by sea or land. But what she cannot ac complish by force she strives to achieve by fraud, and is little solicitous as to the means, provided the object be gained. She is playing a cunning game —not trusting entirely to the fickle goddess, but lending mate rial assistance to the vagaries of her " humorous ladyship." She assumes o variety of Protean shapes, in order to discover and experimentaliso on the weak points of those who may be worth winning. For one she has ribands, badges, orders, and all the varied paraphernalia in which cour tiers and diplomatists especially delight. For others, hard cash. Promises never to be realised, or empty titleg, cowent the credulous and the vain. While more substantial boons are con ferred on men of the world—who, to use the vulgar but expressive phrase, are "not to be caught with chaff."

"A very significant piece o - - - THE NEW P.RI SON AT Clll4 TH4 just been promulgated at St. Petersburg, if we are to credit a generally well-informed contem porary—The Observer. It is positively asserted that Count WALEWSKI, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, and President of the Parisian Conferences—who is by birth a Pole, is to have the Polish Estates of his family—long since con fiscated by the Government of St. Petersburg— restored to him again, "far his services to the CZAR in the late war." This is, indeed, a startling announcement ! What are these valuable "ser vices," that are to be compensated by so rich a reward ? Count WALEWSKI was the Minister of France, on whom the chief responsibility for the management of the war rested. If he acted faithfully to his adopted country he must have irrevocably cast off the allegiance due to the Autocrat, and to the best and utmost of his abilities endeavoured to pro mote a state of affairs by no means satisfactory to, or compatible with, the interests of Russia. And what is even of still greater importance, will be either president or a leading and influential member of the New Conferences, supplemental to those that effectuated in the Precious Treaty. The CZAR'S gratitude for important " services" during the late war may, therefore, be something analogous to that of sundry " waiters on PROVI DENCE," which has been defined as a lively sense of favours to come. But whether the boon be for the past, the present, or the future, it is deserving of attentive consideration on the part of the English Govern ment. If Count WALEWSKI has indeed obtained possession of his hereditary estates he is the vassal of Russia, and may be recalled at any moment when he is not sufficiently sub missive to the will of his Autocratic master. It is therefore his interest to conciliate the Govern ment of St. Petersburg, and it cannot be sup posed that he will hold the scales with an im partial hand in his position as President of the forthcoming Conferences. In such a position a man should be "above suspicion," and as that cannot possibly be the case, Count WALEWSKI should be relieved from further labour, and some person substituted not affected by so many con flicting influences. Complaints have already been put forward on the part of Russia respecting the continuance of the English fleet in the Euxine And it is more than hinted that France has not very cor dially concurred in the policy of the PALMERSTON Cabinet ; that she is drawing more closely the ties by which she is connected with Russia ; while those cemented by the blood of her own gallant soldiers and those of England have been perceptibly loosened. There are said to be serious differences of opinion between the diplomatists at the Porte, but whatever may be the case, and no matter who may be opposed to it, the British squadron cannot leave the waters of the Black Sea until Russia has fully and fairly performed her part of the contract, and the rectification of the Bessarabian frontier has been completed. The case is altogether different from that of the Austrian occupation.. England cannot by any possibility be even suspected of sinister designs respecting the acquisition of territory. She only looks to matters of " European" interest so far as the Principalities are concerned. Besides, the sailors are not supported at tho expense of the inhabi tants. Their presence is hailed as a welcome boon, not an almost intolerable burden. They may protect—they cannot oppress—or injure the people. The final arrangement of the form of govern ment in thc.qe important provifices is matter of deep interest. But it can scarcely be satisfactorily arranged so long as the Austrian troops maintain their hold and tyrannise over the people—we might just as well expect a fair elec tion in Kansas as in Moldavia or Wallachia. If left to themselves the people would arrive at a pro per decision. They are not of Sclavonic origin, and although many of the magnates may have yielded to the gentle persuasions of Russia, and although many profess " the orthodox creed," they would still, under judicious arrangements, act as a barrier against Muscovite aggression, and divide it from Provinces where its arts might, in consequence, prove far more injurious to the peace and tranquillity of Europe. The issue is, indeed, one of vast weight, and it should receive the calm and attentive conside ration it so eminently merits from persons of whose disinterestedness and impartiality no rea sonable doubt can be entertained. It is to be hoped the Chairman of the Metro politan Board is familiar with the process said to be in vogue among the genus Tartuffe—to wit, facial flat ironing, or we may have the actors laughing at the farce--which is to come off on Wednesday next—during the performance. On that day Mr. THWAITES, accompanied by Mr. BA ZALGETTE, the Engineer and the Clerk to the Board, is to wait on Sir BENJAMIN HALL, the Chief Commissioner of Works, and submit for his approval what the Metropolitan Board have done in relation to the sewerage. The fun of the affair (doleful enough) is—this is in decided antagonism to what the Chief Commissioner is bound to insist on, and as perverse an evasion of duty as it is foolish, both parties being fully aware that it is so. A thorough command of countenance would seem to be indispensable to either, in presenting or receiving a plan which, after being twice re jected, has again been decided on. It is just possible, however, Sir BENJAMIN HALL may see no fun in the matter, and while taking the onus attempted to be thrust on him may administer a stern rebuke to the miserable incompetents whose petty spleen directed against him will infallibly recoil on themselves, because injurious in its effects to the public. The head of the deputation, if opposed, as he is said to be, to the plan, can hardly be further mortified, and certainly so far as the members are concerned reproof was never better deserved. Sir BENJAMIN cannot well ad minister it with too great severity, provided ho does so in a manlier divested of all traces of per sonality. The members of the Board will find themselves to have been grievously deceived when they de tided on so disreputable a course. The cry of economy, on which they expect to evade their ' duty with impunity, is not likely to serve their turn. The real animus of their procedure is seen through, and they must not look for sympathy from the intelligent population. It was not to indulge in squabbles or set themselves in perverse hostility to the Board of Works they were re turned by the Local Boards. It was to grapple with mighty evils--evils affecting the health and welfare of a population larger than goes to consti tute a European kingdom—evils whose ravages may be teen in many a wasted form and many an untimely grave. It was to render London a healthy metropolis, worthy of the greatest conn-* try on the face of the globe —a task worthy of freemen, involving the highest credit to those who achieved it, and the deepest disgrace to those who proved themselves unequal to it. That the Board is not in the way of earning the honour; but has already achieved the disgrace, will hardly admit of doubt. The plan they h♦ve decided on and THE NEW LORD atilEIP JUSTICE. The lamented death of Sir John Jervis, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, has given rise to much conjecture in legal circles as to his successor, and, as is usual in such cases, many names are mentioned, embracing mea of both sides of politics. The rumour most prevalent, and which we think most to be relied on, is that the seat has been offered to the present Attorney-General, but that for certain reasons that learned gentleman has thought fit to decline its acceptance. The refusal of Sir A. Cockburn, and the scarcity of men of eligibility to occupy the seat from those who are supporters of the present Government, has rendered it necessary for the Government to look elsewhere, and it is not at all improbable it will be in the di rection of Sir F. Thesiger, and that if he will ac cept the seat it will b o be s tow e d on hi m . • It is difficult to say at present what has induced the learned Attorney-General to pursue this course. It is a great disappointment to more than one legal gentleman, and had he accepted the seat, report states that the present Solicitor-General would have filled his place as Attorney-General, and that Mr. Collier, Q.C. and M.P. for Plymouth, would have succeeded him as Solicitor-General. MONETARY AFFAIRS. The state of monetary affairs in this country con tinues to be very remarkable. By the last Bank Re tarn the bullion had again decreased by 379,585/,, and the total amount was 9,760,482/. In the panic 011847 the amountof bullion for several weeks stood at between seven and eight millions ; we have, therefore, not much more than a million more bullion in the Bank than we then had. But circumstances have in the meanwhile changed. gold which t op ne rtat there nothing e The greatest change arises from the im mense go ld dis coveries of . Califarnia and Australi a . Th ese i nsp i re a is else a confidencecs' ) tr u o l ndgg give . e renewed. However persuasion in p t p h l e ies public great will supply the deficiency. Th e B an k , moreover, ap parently acting in this belief, has not thought it neces sary to adopt such strin gen t measures as wou ld other wise be requisite. In the meanwhile the monetary alarm in Paris has by no means subsided, nor can we, at present, see any so un d reason f or expec ti ng any portantimprovement in the state of affairs. While we are ready to admit that extensive oorn purchases, and the large foreign undertakings of the Credit Mobilier and the exportation of bullion to the armies in the Crimea, may have had their effect, it ap pears to us that the great reason of the drain of silver bullion from the French Bank, and the consequent drain of gold from this country, have arisen from the very unwise enactments which are allowed to remain !i3 France with respect to the silver coinage. It pays in France to melt the coin and sell it as bullion. Thus it has been a trade to get coin from the bank, melt it down into bars, and sell it again to the bank at a profit. Can human absurdity with regard to money get beyond this ? And why should such a process stop? As long as it is profitable to- melt down silver and sell it to the bank, or export it, why should there be a cessation of this process ? The French government is trying indeed to put down this traffic by legal penalties. The common sense method is to render the exporta tion in melting of money an unprofitable business. But this at .* present the French government, either from ignorance or timidity, have neglected to do. And the commerce and trade of the country suffer accord ingly.

All the verses —so some of Mr. Mackay's many sensible American admirers assure us —were ac tually written under green leaves and under au English sky, and that they consequently breathe the very air in which they were written.— -From " Town and Table Talk " in the Illiidtratcc' Lot,don News, LATEST NE WS. MARSEILLES, SUNDAY. M. Brenier has arrived. He alighted at the Hotel d'Orient, with the whole personnel of the Legation. Mr. Petre and the English Legation landed from the same packet. They will arrive at Paris to-morrow. The Austrians had been reinforced by two regiments at Galatz. A telegraphic despatch reached Paris yesterday announcing the overthrow of the Ottoman Ministry. Redschid Pasha is appointed Grand Vizier. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 23. The Vulture, despatch boat, has been sent to reinforce the squadron off the Isle of Serpents. The Commission for determining the Bessara bian boundaries has completed its labours. The ultimatum from England has been for warded to the Shah of Persia. The Indian squadron was to sail in the begin ning of October. The capture of Bushire was considered inevi table. Notwithstanding the efforts of England, the Persian army was actively pressing the siege of Herat. It was fortifying the environs, of which it had obtained possession after having defeated the Affghans, 6,000 of whom had surrendered, VIENNA, SUNDAY, Nov. 2. On the 23d October it was definitively settled at Constantinople between the Porte, England, and Austria, that the occupation of the Black Sea and Danubian Principalities should be prolonged. The Risorgimento, of the 30th ult., has the fol lowing " Several chests filled with arms, and addressed to Laghorn,! have been siezed at Aveuza. The whole of the officers of the Customs have recently, by order of the Government, been incorporated with the troops of the line ; great numbers com plain of the arrangement, and demand their dis charge. On the 6th several young men who bad belonged to the British Italian Legion were arrested at Frizzano, to which place they had had the im prudence to return. What will Lord Normanby, who appears to be on such excellent terms with the Duke of Modena, say to this ?" According to a St. Petersburg journal of the 20th, the garrison of Nicolaieff now consists of 10,000 men. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 25th ult., in the Deutschland of Berlin says : "It appears by a letter from Nicolaieff that the greatest activity prevails in the building-yards in that port, where not only vessels of war, but mer chant vessels are being constructed. The ships of war which are to be stationed in the Black Sea and in the Sea of Azoff, will be strong. They will be composed of three divisions—that is to say, of 12 vessels, frigates, corvette; and others, all screw steamers, constructed on the most approved system." We learn from St. Petersburg that, to " oblige France," the Emperor of Russia has not prohi bited the export of corn from the Sea of Azoff. The export of corn is prohibited in all the ports of the kingdom of Greece. The Paris correspondent of the Post (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " Whilst the Emperor of the French appears to be entertaining his Court at Compiegne with hunting and feasting, very grave political questions are being settled, which are interesting to every country in Europe. Lord Cowley was invited to remain there from the beginning until the end of the fetes, an honour which no other ambassa dor has received. This may be taken as a mark of regard and confidence towards England, and a proof that his Majesty wishes the English Minister to be present on all and 'every occasion when foreign affairs are discussed. The Em peror has generally a motive in his proceedings, and in all probability his desire to unite the representatives of foreign countries round the Imperial table was intended to create a good understanding between their respective Govern ments. To-morrow the Russian Amb2Ssador will arrive at Compiegne, and I have reason to know that his Excellency's visit will not be confined to amusement only. It is probable we shall hear some satisfactory explanations have taken place ; or, on the other hand, that France has no longer the slightest hesitation with re ference to the Serpents' Island question, or the necessity of occupying the Principalities with some force—Austrian, or a combined con tingent from England and France united with that which already garrisons the Principalities. The Emperor is perfectly aware that the execution of the treaty of Paris is as necessary for the honour of France and the future tranquillity of Europe as her Britannic Majesty's Government, and there can be little doubt of the Imperial will failing when it is demanded by justice and honour. All depends on the Emperor ; he gives little latitude to his Mi nisters, nor do they influence him on great occasions. Sometimes, indeed, his instructions are not carried out precisely in the spirit which dictated them. Of this foreign Caurts never fail to avail them selves, as well as of the peculiarities of particular Ministers —seeking even to create jealousy be tween England and France. This is the most which the people of both coga t t i e have to fear ; and this may be materially counteracted in head quarters at Compiegne, .where many weighty. ques tions will assuredly receive a solution. I can hear of nothing which is not likely to find that solu tion favourable to an united diplomacy forcing Russia to observe the articles of the treaty of peace." •••••• ..••• The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " Notwithstanding the rumours that circulated yesterday respecting the probability of a change in the King of Naples' sentiments, I much doubt if any hope of the kind is entertained in official quarters here. King Ferdinand seems deter mined to exemplify in his person the well-known maxim about mad...less preceding ruin. What interval will be allowed between these two stages of his career remains to be seen. His Majesty and his Majesty's advisers have amused them selves a good deal at the expense of the Al lies ; Neopalitan ingenuity has been exhausted in ridiculing oar intervention and our retreat. Perhaps our position is not the most flattering, but the wits of Naples should not forget the old proverb, Rira le mieux qui rira le dernier.' When the representatives of France and England assed through tho streets on their departure, I can inform you that his Majesty was in o very laughing mood." The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second edition) in bis letter of Oct. 30, says : " On the 14th or 15th inst., the Allied Powers forwarded to St. Petersburg a note, or notes, in which it was said that they must still insist on the cession to Moldavia of the new town of Bol grad, which lies at the north-eastern extremity of the Lake of Ya]pucd. There cannot be a doubt that Russia has attempted to take undue advan tage of the incorrectness of the map which was used at the Paris Conference, but the allies, and more particularly France, are so very desirous to got the frontier question settled, that they are willing to cede to Russia a rich valley which lies between the rivers Yalpuck and Yalpujek, if she will make no further difficulties about the cession of Now Bolgrad. It seems that France pre r osed to cede the territory in question as an " indemnification," but England, Anstria, and Turkey objected to the use of the word, as it would have been an indirect confession that Russia had some claim ,to New Bolgrad. It not believed that the Russian Government will consent to let the Bessarabian frontier line pass to the North of New Bolgrad—that is, be tv(een Bolgrad (Tabak) and the new town on the Lake of Yalpuck ; as it must be perfectly well known at St. Petersburg that very serious misun derstandings have recently arisen between the allied Powers. The Vienna papers have received instructions not to say anything which could give umbrage to the Emperor Napoleon, but still . the relations between the Austrian and French Go veinments are far from being satisfactory. A person who is perfectly well-informed of what is passing in the political world tells me that the foundation for an alliance between France and Russia is already laid, and that the fact is as well known iu England as it is in Austria." PERSIA. We extract the following from a letter dated Constantinople, Oct. 23 :—"The news from Persia is serious, and this is a ground on which England will probably encounter Russian diplomacy. It is now certain that England has sent an ultimatum to Persia, but the Shah does not seem muck dis posed to yield. The Persian Government was all along aware of the preparations of the English in India for the expedition to the Persian Gulf. All this, however, did not produce great sensation at Teheran. It was not believed that they would advance into the interior of the provinces, or would go beyond Bender-Bouchir, which was formerly a very flourishing city, but now in ruins. Though the English expedition is only composed of about 15,000 men, it is doubt ful whether, if it passes the Bakhtir mountains and advances into the province of Shiraz, the Shah's army can offer any serious resistance. But Rus sia, who so often interfered in the affairs . of. Persia, would probably oppose the march of the English army. The latest advices were to the effect that Herat was on the point of falling into the hands of the Persians. M. Buhler, a French officer, who directs the siege works, does not doubt of success. All the strong positions which surround . the town, from Pouchenga-Denhoy and Isfigar to Ziarclyn, were occupied by the Persians." FRANCE: PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The Patric says that the Ottoman Ministry, whose resignation the Sultan recently refused to accept, has at length definitively retired, and a new Ministry, with Reschid Pacha at its head, has come into power. For the momgnt, remarks the Patrie, the policy favourable to. the continued oc cupation of the Black Sea and the Principalities by England and Austria has triumphed. Saturday being one of the greatest holidays in the year (All Saints Day), the Bourse and public offices were closed, and there was no evening papers. The morning papers did not contain a line of news. Most of the shops have been closed all day, and the only exception to the universal character of Liz.° tete waa Mlle asseinblage.of the little Bonrgp, which met in considerable force for a couple of hours in the morning. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. I.—Count:Walewski, the French Foreign Minister (a Pole), is to have the Polish estates of his family restored to him again for his services to the Czar in the late war. IN Moscow, during the coronation, the Russians al ways spoke of M. de Morny, the French Ambassa dor Extraordinary—behind his back—as a fortunate speculator. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 27th contain no political news of interest. The Railway Gazette says that it is not true that the credit companies in Spain have, as has been reported, protested against the decree suspendingthe sale of the national property. The Danish minister, who had been dan gerously ill, was considered likely to recover. A let ter from a ministerial source says :—" The rumours that have been in circulation during the last two days as to a ministerial crisis are un founded ; the Queen continues to place con fidence in Marshal Narvaez. Several Paris journals have published letters and articles which assert that the Queen had demanded that the property belonging to the clergy should be restored, and that the Marquis de Viluma had been summoned to form a ministry in the room of Narvaez. But there is no truth in these statements. Large quantities of wheat have arrived from the provinces, and a fall in 0 ur been of pur chasedsa o price in this city is to be exp ec t e d .

The Royal mail steamer Niagara has arrived with advices from Boston to the 22d ult., and $255,374 specie on freight. The Niagara passed on the 31st the Baltic, hence for New York. The Arabia, hence, had arrived at Halifax, and the Delta, from Havre, at Boston, on the 22d. The majority of the Fillmore and Donalsou Com mittee in Pennsylvania had refused to unite with the Fremont party"in joint electoral ticket. This would divide the Opposition votes. In Florida the Democratic Governor had been elected by upwards of 4,000 majority. According to the Herald, the Congressional elec tion so far showed a gain of 52 members in ten States for the Democratic party. A despatch from Cincinnati of the 21st ult. says:— " Retu ns from 88 counties in I❑diana, partially of . cial are recited. The Democrats claim Willard's elec. tion by 7,000 maj. rity, while Vie Republicans give in 5,500. _ The Democrats have six Congressmen and the Republicans probably five, but the returns are still in complete, and we cannot give the positive result for Congressmen.' Another despatch says : " The Congressional vote in Ohio shocv4 the election of eight Democrats and 12 Republicans. This does not include L. D. Campbell's district, as the election of that gentleman is to be contested by his opponent on the ground of illegal voting. The Union Convention to form an anti-Buchan: electoral ticket assembled at liarrisburgon the 21st. Most of the counties in the Senate were repre sented. A committee was appointed to form an electoral ticket, who reported the same ticket as agreed upon by the Union Committee of Phila delphia. A session of the Episcopal Convention was held at Philadelphia on the 21st, at which Mr. Bucha nan attended. The House of Deputies was notified that the House of Bishops had erected Kansas and Nebraska into a separate niii4sionary diocese, and nominated the Rev. Dr. Clarke, of Waterbury (Connecticut), bish op . A debate ensued, and much opposition was manifested to ,the erection of the diocese, as it deprived Bishop Kemper of a portion of his missionary field. A resobAtion was offered declaring it, inexpedient at the present time to create the diocese. This resolution was Tt egat ived. Judge Chambers, of Maryland, submitted another resolution, declaring it expedient to form the diocese, the mover's object being to defeat the mea sure, as he expressed a determination to Toto against his own resolution. A spirited debate err sued upon the motion, pending which a recess vial taken till the evening. The returns (unofficial) from Pennsylvania indi cato that the Democrats have carried the State 195 no less than 4,000 majority. "The victory of Buchanan (,j.s the Herald) ana l Democratic majority in Congress . , sweep a t once to th i winds and t o o bli v i on a ll th e e ff orts o f th e North in r e Terence to slavery and all their aims with rega rd t' its non-extension.

Under the heading " Never Flinch," the 1 1 ° 1; York Tribune says : Republicans,--The last repoit from Penn:llls°l° " leaves no doubt of a Bu c h anan majority at the State election.
