BTONEY MARKET : 1 01VEYIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'Ctoot. ThLe Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with much animation, and prices of American de- Scrip lions were a shade dearer. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the (Ixporters, and 3,000 by the speculators, com- Prieb xg 600 Egyptian, at 64d. to Bid ; 2,000 Surat, 'lid. to 54d. ; and 60 Sea Islands, is. to is. 9d. per lb. IL'he Railway Share Market closed quietly, and price a of the leading stocks were rather easier than 01 1 Friday. A, :counts from Leipsic state that the autumn fair 'whic lh commenced on the 20th ult. had attracted a l arg , 3r attendance of foreigners than in former Year a. A number of Turks and merchants from t he Danubian principalities were present, and rn t ilei) 7 purchases of winter goods had been numerous. The) 'e was an absence, however, of several of the 411 1€ irican purchasers who usually attended. 0( nnmercial advices from Paris state that the raising of the rate of discount by the Bank of France had produced much activity in all branches of tr ade. The retailers, however, are still reserved I n th.eir purchases, and restrict themselves to sup- Plyir ig their immediate wants. At the same time ti ler( 3 is every appearance of a vigorous trade being ( lone this season. The manufacturers have received fe w orders from the provinces, but the foreign a gell ts, now at Paris, have given large commissions to tt Le principal houses. The present high rates of exchange are much felt by the manufacturers, as it diminishes their profits. Tl'ais:is particularly the case amongst the woollen and silk manufacturers, who have also to pay high rate u of wages in consequence of the dearness of Provisions. The prices of woollen fabrics have not ;altered, but the increasing demand for inter taeditate qualities is expected to advance the quo taticnis of that class of goods. In silks no further rise has taken place in the price of the raw mate rial, although it is said to be getting scarce in the Itarlirets of the Drome and Ardeche. The want of eaah, however, checks any upward movement. Many large speculators who had made purchases at the lowest rates many months ago are now realising their profits, but without pressing sales. Tl ie New York accounts, received by the Arabia, report an active demand for money, but no pressure seem sto have been experienced. At the same tim e the opinion is expressed that a period of greater stringency is not far distant. In October an immense amount of capital has to be employed in commerce. The importations continued on an extepsiv e scale, and the movement of the crops would ere long augment the demand for money. TWlasi; weekly return of the City Banks showed an flier ease of $135,659 in the loans and discounts, ituda decrease of $10,702 in the specie. A,- further advance in the minimum rate of dis count at the Bank of England ! authorities at the Bank of England are evi dent t; r much perplexed at the present condition of the to oney market. Last Wednesday their terms Were i ncreased from 4i to 5 per cent., and to-day it sf.'a nnounced that the rates are now 6 per cent. having 65 days to run, and 7 per cent. for discos of longer dat e . Thi s g i ves ev id ence o f a very I, iecol ['raging state of things, and there can be no doub t that it would have been far better had the tug, been raised last week at once to si or 6 per ~c e rit These frequent chan ges create uneasin e ss, nt ; alarm, and tend to increase rather than allay t he crisis against which they are directed. It , te q be mentioned that the measure adopted ; 41 V morning was qu it e unexpec t e d , an d t consequently had a marked effect on me,. Stock Market. Although the demand for dis coon ts at the Bank of England, during the last t wo ( nr three days, has not been excessive, large 11 ,olca tots of bullion have been withd rawn on Cou rt Ltal account. There seems a v er y unse ttl e d ig with regard to the future, and the present Ori n gency is expected to continue for some time to ee ok4 The effect of the enhanced terms upon tr ail' c will, of course, bo prejudicial, but the coml "). > )eing in a prosperous state less inconvenience rs 1. 1 . 1 rely to arise than would o th erw i se b e the case. IT; le Stock Market has, of course, been agitated hY t he further alteration of the rate of discount.

The line will also possess the advantage of being of incalculable importance to New Zealand. It is calculated that the entire voyage could be performed in 55 days, and the constant experience of the way in which the Australian arrivals Via the Cape have been anticipated by letters brought by transient sailing vessels to Peru, and thence tansmitted across the Isth mus, tends to warrant this conclusion. The capital necessary is 400,0001., and this is suggested to be raised partly by an issue of new shares of 20/. each, and partly by debenture. The departures would be monthly, and would be fixed between the times of the Suez line, so as to some a fortnightly communication. 50 at.

The country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with fine wheats, which sold steadily on rather higher terms. 'ln the value of inferior kinds very little change took place. Barley was firm at extreme rates, and all other articles sold at full prices. The value of wheat still continues to rule high in the continental markets, although steady shipments of pro duce continue to be made from the United States. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 28,024 quantities of wheat, 3,337 barley, 16,871. oats, 11,967 linseed, 5,335 rapeseed, 60 mustard seed, 1,041 sundry seeds, and 5,273 blues of flour. The arrivals of English wheat frezh up to our market to-day from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land car riage, were very moderate, and the majority of the samples were much out of condition, especially those from Kent. The show of wheat was small, and millers generally showed more disposition to purchase. All good and useful kinds changed hands briskly at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. Damp parcels were firm in price, but the demand for them was by no means active. There was a fair ;ho; of most kinds of foreign wheat ; nevertheless, the demand for that grain ruled steady, and a fair average business was transacted in most kinds at very full prices. We had a better demand for floating cargoes off the coast. The few samples of malting barley on offer were quickly disposed of, at an improvement in value of from Is to Zs per quarter. Grinding and distilling sorts were in fair request at full prices. Malt was in short supply, and fair request, at extreme quotations. The show of oats was moderate, and most kinds sold steadily, at prices quite equal to Monday last. Both beans and peas were in short supply, and steady re quest, at ♦ery full prices. The flour trade was firm, and, in some instances, coun try flour was rather dearer.

Of late only limited purchases of beasts and sheep have been effected in the Dutch markets on French account. There was a moderate £ .ow of foreign stock in to-day's market, but its quality was by no means first-rate. The arrivals of home-fed beasts were season a bly goo d as to number. Their general condition, however, was in ferior. For the few prime breeds on offer there was an improved demand, and in some instances prices were the turn higher than on Monday last. Middling and inferior beasts moved off slowly, at the late decline in value. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 2,200 short horns; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds ; and from Ireland 40) oxen. No supplies reached us from Scotland. Notwithstanding that there was a considsrable falling off in the arrivals of sheep, the mitten trade ruled heavy, at last Monday's fall in the quotations. Most breeds came to hand in poor condition, and the top figure for Downs was be per 81bs. There were 300 Irish sheep on offer. We were scantily supplied with calves, yet the veal trade ruled heavy at Friday's currency. The best calves sold at 4s 6d per 81ba. The show of pigs was tolerably good, and, as prices were high, the butchers purchased very sparingly, at late rates. Per Sibs to sink the offal.. 5. d. s. d.

It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Jackson, 2s, Camomile -street, that the prisoner came to lodge with her last week ; and, whilst there, baying no money nor food, she supplied her with it for three days, charging her ls. a day, and which she paid for afterwards Ly giving witness two duplicates and is. It was subse quently found that the articles pawned belonged to Mr. Butler, of Houndsditch, with whom she bad lived as a sery ant. There being some doubts about the stealing, The Lord Mayor committed the prisoner for six weeks t o the House of Correction fur illegal possession. GUILDHALL. Mom POISONING.—A decent servant-looking young woman was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Eagleton, charged with attempting to clrnmit suicid , . Police constable 120 deposed that on Saturday nigh t he saw the defendant sitting on the steps of the Scotch Chapel, in Coleman-street. On going up to her, he noticed she put her tongue out of her mouth like a per son suffering from thirst, and he asked her what was the matter. She replied she had taken poison. She gave the witness a phial bottle marked "poison," and he then took her to Guy's Hospital, where she was attended to by the house-surgeon, but the laudanum she had swallowed was of so weak a nature that no ap prehension was entertained of its result. She bought threepennyworth of laudanum, she said, at a druggist's shop, but she refused to say where. On her was found two thimbles and two keys (one that of a beer or cider tap). The defendant, whose demeanour in the box was very respectful, declined to make any statement as to her name, relations, or occupation, because she did not wish her father to know what she had done. Mr. Alderman Eagleton addressed her in conciliatory terms, and informed her that as eho declined to give her name or address, it would be his duty to remand her from time to time, until she made the necessary dis closures, for until that was done he could not liberate her. It would be necessary for him to have some gua • rantee that the offence should not be repeated before he discharged her. He, however, would give her an opportunity of communicating what was required to the officer in private, and she was allowed to retire with the officer for that purpose. Up to the time of our report leaving, she had refused to give the required information. SOUTH WARK. CRUELTY TO A DONKEY.—John fording, a genera dealer, residing at Mitcham, was brought up in custody of Jabez Heifer, one of the constables attached to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, charged with cruelly working a poor, worn-out, aged donkey, totally unfit for work. Heifer said that on Saturday afternoon be saw the de fendant driving a donkey and cart along the Borough towards the Elephant and Castle. Perceiving that one of its hind legs was perfectly useless, and that it could with difficulty move along, he stopped it and found a large wound near the hock. The poor beast was also spavined, and in that deplorable state that it would be a charity to have it slaughtered. The Magistrate left the Court to look at the animal, which stood trembling in the yard. On his return he said he never saw a donkey in such a state before. They were generally well taken care of by the poor, and never allowed to be in that condition. He was of opinion that it must have been cruelly treated. The prisoner said that since he had had the donkey he had allowed it to go on the common, and he used it well. The sore and complaint came on without li is knowledge, and be did not intend to use it any mare. He should put it on the common again. The magistrate told him that all • tha care in the world would not cure the animal. Would he consent to have it slaughtered immediately ? The prisoner replied that he would, although he did not like to part with the donkey, as he had promised the man from whom he had it that he would not. The constable and prisoner then took the poor animal to the knacker's, where it was killed, and on returning with the tail he was discharged. The magistrate, how ever, cautioned him how he acted for the future. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.) LONDON, Oct. 6.—Wind this day at noon, N.E. ; light airs and dull hazy weather. PLYMOUTH.

LOSS OF AN OLD BRITISH MFRCHANTHAN.—A letter bas been received from Mr. H. England, an agent sent out by the Tyne Insurance clubs to the island of Gott land, who states that the old Liberty and Property of South Shields, which was stranded on that island, is a total wreck, and that her stores will be sold for the benefit of the underwriter. The Liberty and Property WAR among the oldest, if not the oldest, merchant vessel in England, having been built in the year 1750 at Whit by. She was well known to the seafaring population on the north-east coast, having been engaged in the coal and Baltic trade and the transport service during the whole of her long reign. She was a strange old fashioned-looking craft, and generally attracted a good deal of attention in the Thames and other ports that she visited. SHIPWRECK ON THE NORFOLK COAST.—In the course of the heavy equinoctial sales, the disastrous effects of which have been already noticed in Th 3 Sun, the barque Coromandel, 600 tons, was wrecked on the Ridge Sand, near Winterton, Norfolk. The ship sailed from Arch. angel for London on the 13th of August, and was laden with deals. In the course of the voyage thick and bad weather was experienced, arh.l the crew were Exhausted by constant labour at the pumps. Shortly after the vessel struck en the sand part of her deck cargo was washed away, the stern was broken in, and the poop was gutted. The mate and some of the crew got on board the Falcon schooner, and the master, Capt. An. derson, and the remainder of the crew were saved in a fishing smack. The wreck has since been removed to Winterton, and run ashore on Yarmouth beach. The men saved in the Falcon were landed at Bridlington, and have been forwarded to their homes by the Ship. wrecked Mariners' Society. f-J birtir 72bition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

Tuesday afforded the only interesting day's racing at Newmarket, and its "incidents " I described in my "despatch " from head-quarters on the Wednesday. The doings at Northallerton were not particularly im portant, and indeed the past week seems to have been peculiarly barren of interest. The good old English custom of celebrating great events with a dinner is ad hered to right royally at the Victoria Club, where on Fri- day last " the Warlock feed" took place. The spread was excellent in every respect, well appointed and well ma naged, and on this, as on many former occasions, the proprietor, Mr. Geo. Read, received gratifying proofs of his popularity amongst sporting men, and of the general appreciation which is entertained of his efforts to supply the wants and meet the requirements of the members of the club. The Autumn Meeting at the antiente citie of Chester will take place to-morrow and Wednesday. Handicaps are as usual the leading features in the programme, and they have been compiled with Mr. Top ham's well-known tact and ability. Still, it i 3 doubtful whether large fields will be commanded, albeit no extraordinary " shortoomings" will, be displayed in the supply of sport. Eight hundred pounds added money are distributed amongst twelve stakes, and this liberality on the part of the promoters of the meet ing ought, and perhaps will, command success. Of the twenty-two nominations for the Shorts Handi cap, Bourgeois, despite his 5 lbs. penalty, will doubtless attract the most attention. His performance at North allerton proved him to be in form, and he is not likely on this occasion to meet any animal of vast racing meri'. His most formidable opponents will perhaps be The Medway and South Western. Either the Yorkshire man or Hsd White and Blue may win the Mootyn Stakes. For the Alma Stakes, Blink Bonny, Saun terer, and Augury have each 7 lbs extra to carry. Should Blink Bonny be brought out for it she shall carry my confidence. Of course, in her absence, either Augury or Saunterer will win, if John Osborne be in• clined to have a venture for the stakes. Of the " imps nalised" Adams and Sprig of Shillelagh are the most noteworthy. If the Prince of Orange put in an appear. ance for the Welter Cup he may win. For the Innkeepers' Plate the Knight of St. Patrick and The Little Cob shall do battle for me. Twenty-eight are weighed for the Wynnstay Handicap, and as no trustworthy information can be obtained re lative to the probable starters, the task of selecting a champion is not a little perplexing. The Greyling, however, seems so favourably weighted that he may follow up the success which he achieved at Warwick, and give additional encouragement to his owner to form a racing stud. Evelyn and the Princess of Orange shall represent nay intereA for the Grand Stand Stakes. About a dozen starters may be creculated upon for the Chester Handicap. With a run I should ho inclined to stand on Mary alone, who is handicapped with indi::-- ritabh, leniency. Still her owner may be inclined to let the public have a vice of her real quality until tite Cesarewitch day. Casting my eye further down the list, the nAmes of Pantomime and Gamekeeper aqraq my attention. The most formidable three-yl.R.old win perhaps he limbo. Still, should Mary be iroeldetl, I ,hall be induced to trust her. In her default, the brace of old 'tins inentionci above will, dpubtlees, pull me through. The meetings at Bedford and Wielchain will take place on the two days following the Chester gathering. I shall reserve the programme for discussion on Wed neday, when I will also place before the reader a few calculations on the Cesarewitch chances. October 6. A FRESH MAN. LI a RATUR E. Poems and Tales of Travel. By John Leekey. Whittaker and Co. The author in his modest preface tells us the poems were written for amusement in leisure hours that occurred during a few years of tray& , and ventures to hope that sem° of their notes may sound in harmony, although their strains may not be of that sweetness, nor their colouring of that beauty, to give me the name of poet," further trusting " they will be found harmless in tone An d sentiment, so as not to provoke ill-feeling nor sow the seeds of mischief in any breast." His confi dence is by no means misplaced, !or several of his little poems possess merit enough to afford the positive pleasure, while the most objectionable features of any are those which the critical eye will alone detect. The greater portion are of a descrip tive character, and description is Mr. Leekey's forte. He has evidently a poet's eye for the beau ties of nature, and what be sees he treasures lovingly in his r: collection, and reproduces with satisfaction and a commendable degree of skill. Bad metre and faulty expressions are to be found in apparent abundance, but while these indicate the need of improvement there is enough to con vince us he is capable of it, which is more than we can say of every writer whose "Poems " come be fore us. Lays of Memory. By a Mother and Son. Hurst _ and Blackett. The peculiarity of the literary partnership to which this volume of poems owes its origin, the domestic affection and general right feeling it re veals, together with the object to which the profits, if any, are to be devoted (the building of a church), recommend it to the favourable consideration of the public, as they do to the indulgence of the critic, who has also to take into account the fact of the mother's contributions being penned during protracted sickness. High class poetry the Lays certainly are not ; nevertheless they are likely to be more or less acceptable to an influential portion of the community—to wit, what is called the " religious world," and others who delight in reli gious sentiment, genial affection, and fervent devo tion, fluently expressed. The Lays are hand somely got up by theablisher, and are divided into sacred and social, t he latter to our taste being the best. The reader, however, will judge for himself in a matter of this sort. Calisthenics. By Henry de Las*. Darton and -Co. A contribution to practical education in the form of a lucid and copiously illustr ated expositiou of the Elements of Bodily Culture on Pestalozzian principles. The author has evidently studied the suljecc i n t e lli ge ntly and with profound attention, and possesses the power to place the fruits of his cientifio labours in an attractive light. We say scientific labours, for, as we have inunnated, he i s no mere drill-serjeant, teaching mechanicllly what he has been taught, but has laboriou s ly carr i e d out and traced the principles of bodily culture to their practical development, and this avowedly to meet higher ends than were contemplated by hi s predecessors. The admirers of the Pestalozzian method will be gratified by the successful manner iu which the principle of th e pr i mary cu l ture o f the faculties and senses, on which their special adaptation for the purpo ses o f lif e i s d epen d ent, i s here applied ; while every one who recognises the importance of early phy s i ca l t ra i n i ng w ill see rea son to admire a system of calisth en i cs so elabo r ate and admirably set forth as this. Wealth. How to Get, Preserve, and Enjoy it. By Joseph Bentley. Joseph Bentley. A fourth edition of a valuable little work al ready commended to the favourable notice of our Itader: , . In addition to the plan of industrial training for the people daveloped by the author, the reader will find a complete abstract of the Life Office returns just printed by order of Par liament for 1855 to 1856, and a table showing the present state of all our life assurance companies: Members of the industrial classes who have a little money to spare can hardly lay out a couple of shillings to better advantage than in the purchase of " Wealth." ! rai d , Rtudneas thin day. 54 3 i B is 36 21 313 2 92i li 64k i i 951 5 31 4 105 41 1018 i 1 i li 103 i 3 4 32 11 761 f 41 5 49 Wilts&C:omrst PREFERENCE SHARES. 25 all BlythandTyne lOpe; c. pref.

S. PAKINGTON, BART., M.P. I WORCESTER, Saturday.---The annual meeting of the Worcestershire Agricultural e Society was held here yes terday. Sir J. S. PAKINGTON, in the course of his address, congratulated the agriculturists upon their present pros pects, by which he did not mean the mere obtaining of Wgh prices, which undoubtedly had in some degree been • caused by the circumstance of the war. He believed those prices had been for some time higher than was consistent with the luterest of any class. He did not believe that the occupiers of the land would desire that the prices of agricultural produce should remain so high as they had been during the last two or three years ; but, on the other hand, they had a right to hope that prises would not relax to any lowness of range which could not be bores by the farmer in a manner consistent with that prosperity which was in a great degree owing to his own energy, spirit, and skill, but in some degree also to the circumstance. 4 of the times in which he lived. They must all the time when if they met a farmer in the sti set, and wanted to put him in a good humour, all they h a d to d o was to tel l hi m t h at h e was ht peleFisly and irretrievably ruined. Nothing was more unaccountable t.) him than an attempt at consolation; ' ski( h was the state of depres,don which then existed. Th e 14lit hon. bar -,net then went on to notice the ful fierce, of his anticipations as to the itfluence of the discoveries of go • ld in Australia and California, in pre venting the injuries which the free trade measures would otherwise have entailed oil this country. He con siderel those gold discoveries had been neither m.:re nor less than a merciful interpositio n of Providence to meet tee circumstances of the timer, th e requirements of an increasing population, and to promote the advance of civilisation. He considered that the prosperity of eom merce and manufactures, and also that of the landed in terest, was attributable in no small degree to the immense influx of the precious metals which had marked the last few years, and which he believed would ben e ti c i,il y epee rate in future. Nor was tht all. These few disastrous years had taught them that the practice of agriculture was governed by the same laws as any other csenpation, that the time had &tone by when the man who had nei ther money enough nor wit enough for any other preten sion might take a farm and say he would try and live upon it. It a wan was to succeel as a farmer, b e must approach his business as he would any other ; he must have adequate capital, brains, training, and skill. . The same conditions applied to the man who undertook to farm a piece of land as to a man who undertook to be a banker, or merchant, or manufacturer. Tney had learned that, if they meant to live upon the land, they must show confidence in the land, aid place their capi tal upon it, and then they would certainly succeed. He asked them to consider the millions of money which had hem spent in guano alone during the last few years; ' the hundreds of thousands of acres which the spirit of English agriculturists had recently brought into oul titalfon ; and lastly, upon the millions of money—he thought he might safely say millions—which had been spent under the wise, judicious, and liberal conduct of the government of this country in deep draining the land. He spoke with diffidence upon this particular question ; for, although not a very young man, he was a much younger farmer than many of the gentlemen pre sent, but he believed deep draining to be one of the most important branches of agriculture, and that nothing paid better for an investment of capital. As to agricul tural statistics he considered it most desirable to ootain them, and especially for the benefit of the agriculturists themselves. He did not believe, however, that they could be collected effectually without the good-will and hearty co-operation of the farmers themselves. He be lieved and hoped that some good system would be dis covered which was not inquisitorial in its nature. In conclusion he said the prosperity of the land was not simply the welfare of an individual farmer, nor of a class, nor of a district, but the welfare of a great com munity, of which they were all proud to be members. (Cheers.) Other toasts of a local character followed. LORD C. BUSS! LL ON AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. At the annual meeting of the Bedfordshire Agricultu ral Society, held on Friday last, at Woburn Abbey, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Bedford, Lord Charles ' Russell, in the course of his speech, made the following observations :—The subject of agricultural statistics was rather a vexed question. He had upon previous occa sions ventured, in an off-hand kind of manner, to pro nounce himself favourable to their collection. Of course no one can for a moment doubt the importance of infor mation of all kinds to farmers. I have no hesitation in saying that that which I covet most for myself and my Islands is information. But, on the other hand, if there is one thing more than another at which my nature re volts it is the horrors of the inquisition. Now, there is a very old saying, that truth lies at the bottom of the well. This is an abstract tiuth, but the fact is that truth lies in the middld of it. It is just the attainment of that golden m• which would be so desirable in sk r collection of agricultural statistics. Why, how Important they oust Lc. It was only yesterday, whets riding over this estate, I heard a conversation which bad arisen between smite farmers as to the probable cost of cattle during this autumn, and everything reiaticg to this point turned upon the nature of the turnip crop ; but the very besVnfornaed gentleman present did not seem to know whether the erop was good or bad throug4- out England, and theretore they had not sufficient data upon which to form their opinion. If, then, it was de sirable in such a case to obtain information to enable them to lay in their autumnal stock, how much more important was it to have correct information with r, spcct to corn, the great staple of the country which pro duces ttie food of man. I have said that the whole of the difficulty of this question crises in its solution, and I want to know who is so fitted to come to an accurate solution as the farmers themselves. At present, as it ap pears to me, the question is somewhat equivocally dealt with. One scarcely knows the opinion of the agricultu ral world upon the subject. Some are for, some against it; but no one appears very much in earnest about it, for no one lays his shoulder to the wheel to collect the general opinion. If agriculturists were really in earnest, and really desirous to cast off the certain stigma under which they will labour as long as people are under the impression that they want to keep back something, they woald collect the opinions of all penons interested in the question, and then, either through their representa tives in Parliament, or by means of a deputation to the Home Secretary, make known their view and wishes to the Government of the coun'sy. (Her-, hear.) I say this, because I am anxious that the agriculturists should, as a body, stand as well in the social scale as it is pos sible for them to do. They stand at the present moment almost as high as any body of men ern, and no human being has a right to complain of them, or to throw at them the charge that they profess what they do not pracase ; and if some are a little dissatisfied, and sneer at the agriculturists, while at the same time they expose their own ignorance, it is owing to the 4 ". It that the far mers have opposed the collection of agricultural statistics. Let them, then, put their shoulders to the wheel and remove that stigma, and then they will occupy as high a position as any industrirl. community in the universe. NEW BONA.PARILST PROJECT.—The sudden determi nation expressed by the French Emperor to remain ali ment from Paris until the first week in December has given rise to much gossiping rumour, which, not having been contradict:a, is f-.king root in tae public mud. The reason for the m( rsure, accr li',.:d by the romantic portion of the community, is that, in consequence of the still •delicate health of the Empr—s, it would be wise to avoid the Tuileri' • uutil alter the vapours which arise fiona the Seine in the month of November shall have been dispelled by the first frosts. It is, however, certain that Versailles hal strack the fancy of the Empress, who from the vet y first has expressed a repugnance to inhabiting the Tuileries, and whor_e avers:on to the place has increased to a greater degree thrn ever eir_ce the birch of the Pr:nce Imp: - - rial. The publicity of the gardensof the palace, the im+ possibility of enjoying privats exercise with the nurse, and the pride of power cause this cancy for a winter establishment at Versailk 9. Should the pro ipect be realised, the whole of the buildings round the palace would be restored to their former uses. The foreign am bassadors would have their alloted hotels, and the diffe rent ministires their bureaux--in short, the dead city would be restored to life r ;ail]. The plan forme part of the system which has long occupied the miud of the Em peror, and is cones cti - d with his scheme of the future decentralisation of France. Ever since Louis Napoleon's accession to the throne, he has entertained the idea of punishing Paris by reducing it to the simple part of a leader of the fins atts, literature, and science, and de; pricing it of its political position.
