The Town Council of Manchester have decided on addressing Lord PALMERSTON on the occasion of his visit to the manufacturing metropolis. The compliment may, however, be regarded as " vex et preterat nihil." The address will not be presented in a gold or even a silver-gilt box; nor have they invited him to dinner or even to lunch. As the Hibernian gentleman who, dropping in at re fection time, was rather coolly bowed out, asserted "There was not the slightest curiosity manifested as to whether he had a, mouth wherewith to enjoy the good things of life." This was a grave min take, particularly so, whed.we consider the ci.mvi vial- qualities of the Noble Premier, and the ample Compensation which ho could have returned in the way of entertaining his entertainers. Never could a sovereign or two be productive of a more agreeable evening than that which procured the subscriber a good dinner in company with one whose qualifications at the festal board arc ad mitted to be unrivalled. The men of _Manchester, by their niggardlinses for it is but an ac t, of simple justin to say that they exhibit eltraordinory liberality en many occasions—have a goldon opportuoity. ' let slip They, however, seemed detern3ined to respond to the gentle hint in the easiest manner possible. Even the address itself contains some sly touches of sarcasm which might have been spared. It signifi can tl y hinted At the great variety of offices held by the Noble department of the St a t e . Lord in almost every But the allusion to the important meas - ares re commended to the Legislature in the Speech from :he Terone at the co:amence•»ent of the% session, and the hone that they may be pressed with " earnestness and determination," - was the "unkindest cut of all." It brought prominently before the world the shortcomings of the Cabinet, of which the Noble Lord was the head, and should ready be regarded as a serious admonition to dis play greater industry next year, and not to rest merely on good intentions. How different would it have been if the Pre mier could have exhibited to the admiring audience the fruits of a really glorious peace—one that, bavimg fully &ccoreplished the objects for which the war had been undertaken, would have afforded satisfactory guarantees for the permanent, or at least the prolonged, tranquillity of Europe—that would have rendered the heavy sacrifices of men and money so cheerfully submitted to by the people not. altogether unavailing—that would have made the hecatombs of English soldiers and the one hundred millions of English treasure ex pended, productive of some beneficial result, in place of being shamefully and recklessly squan dered. If Lord PALMERSTON could speak of valuable results accomplished he might have been assured of a triumphant ovation at Manchester, or in any assemblage of true-hearted Englishmen. Bnt when we see the numerous clouds lowering in the political horizon, the indications of a rapidly approaching commercial and monetary crisis, and the numerous difficulties impending over the foreign relations of Great Britain, we cannot feel surprised that the men of Manchester should get rid, in the easiest possible manner, consistent with courtesy, of the Premier's attempt at " fishing for compliments." The Turkish Ministerial crisis has eventuated in the fall of the late Ministry, and the restora tion of REDSCHID PAOLI to the post of Grand Vizier. That the SULTAN has succeeded in put ting " the right man in the right place" is felt by all who are in any degree acquainted with the vigour and ability displayed by the new Minister in former times. But, although REDSCHID has invariably proved himself the friend, not merely of England, but of the Western Powers, it would appear as if some jealousy were entertained in France, in consequence of the supposition that his return to office may partially be ascribed to British influence. Sundry French journals, the Gazette de France, the Assembles Nationale, and the Union especially, have consequently virulently attacked England and the English. Now, we must declare at the outset that we are utterly indifferent to these diatribes, which we feel to be totally unfounded. We shall not say that any articles which appear in non-official journals can have the slightest effect in weakening the alliance between the Governments ; but still it appears very strange, after the remonstrances of the Moniteur, that no notice should be taken of articles that may correctly be designated as false and calumnious. Louis NAPOLEON and his advisers are well aware that there is no authority which can restrain the legitimate comments which English journalists think proper to offer on exist ing facts at home or abroad ! Tho ground of complaint is therefore as futile as that of the wolf against the Lamb. But can the same be said of the French Press ?. There a rigid censorship is established. Any journal that puts forwaid anything displeasing to the Ministry may be warned, suspended, or seized. The Govern ment is really responsible for articles calculated to hurt the feelings of the rulers or peoples of other nations. How strangely, then, do these virulent attacks follow the whining remonstrances of the Moniteur. ff not directly ascribable to official inspiration, it is palpable that they cannot be very displeasing to those in power, or they would be speedily and summarily suppressed ! As we have already stated, we are perfectly in different either to their praise or censure. We shall maintain the even tenour of our way, whatever may be the sentiments of the journals above referred to, distinctly and by name. The offensive and calumnious insinuations, in which they so unsparingly indulge, are only worthy of notice as indicating the animus of the Cabinet of the Tuileries. They clearly show that great soreness is felt because France is no longer permitted to do as she thinks proper in every respect, and England is unwilling to continue in the undignified position of playing a subordinate part in matters of grave importance, and in which her interests are deeply involved. We shall gladly associate with the French people, and earnestly hop that the alliance may long remain unimpaired, but if it can only be retained at the expense of our yield ing on every point the sooner an alteration be cfrocted ths! better. We shall gladly remain the friends, but most certainly will never become the satellites, of France. As our readers era aware, the wants, prospects, and resources of British India have always found in us a willing exponent. It is therefore with more than usual pleasure we direct attention to a collection of Indian pepers in another page of our present impression, the subject being ono not only of colonial but also of imperial interest and im portance, and the statements made confirmatory of what we have repea,tedly advanced. The great want of [ndia is due facilities for locomotion. Wide as are her plains, vast as is her population, and great as are her natural advan tages, her progress has hitherto been impeded by the lack of railways and other means of commu nication. The magnitude of the country has been its bane, so large an expenditure being apparently required to bring into play the elements of her pros perity. To little practical purpose has attention been directed to her naarvellous capacity for produc tion, to the immense service she may be made to render the mother country. While tidings from the West have threatened us with disastrous com plications, which might result in the holding back of the staple article of our commerce, while Rus sian aggression has menaced the stoppage of our Danubian supply of grain, and civil conernotions in China have made us anxious for our supply of tea, the broad plains and mountain ranges of India have been pointed to as an abundant and infallible resource. There, it has been truly said, cotton may be 'grown beyond our wants ; there, tee of the finest quality, equal to our demand ; there, articles of consumption to supplement our deficient suppl y of grai n . Th ere is to be found a docile population, wilting to work, and satisfied with with a remuneration which no West ern people would bo content. There are atural obsta c l es w ith has,. 'had to cont en d noble rivets, and there th e n which railway enterprise are-of the least formidable character. Everethine; that can tempt enterprise and offer inducement; for the inveetreent of capital is there fortliconaine. The voice of the charmer has nevertheless been listened to, comparatively speaking, i n va i n. The natives, it has been urged, are so indolent, so trammelled by caste, that railways, highway s , and bridgescan never o rtoevern rn prove remunerative either t o ent even under th e most favourable circumstance s . the speculatorG _ . . Besides, railways cannot be laid without iron, nor carried out without coal, and these being wanting the sinews of all production are wanting also. To this, it has been replied, neither iron nor coal are wanting, and other ores of value are to be met with in abundance. All in vain. The capitalist until of late bas contented himself with a shrug of incredulity, and a demand for more convincing proof of the truth of these allegations. Well, such proof is now forthcoming, and not on unreliable authority, Lut on that of the Indian Government. That coal is to be had in certain quarters has already been shown ; that iron of good quality and abundance, too, is to be had on easy terms, the papers to which we have drawn attention sufficiently demonstrate. While wars and rumours of wars have engaged the attention of Europe the Indian Government, it will be seen, has not been remiss in the discharge of its important duties. So far back, indeed, as 1850 we find the East India Company has had tho roughly competent agents at work to verify the truth of the alleged discovery of iron ore in the three Presidencies, and to ascertain the quality and quantity of the ore, the localities in which it is to be found, the means of transport, and how far the circumstances generally are favourable to a successful working. The reports of these agents are now before us. That there should be Fome conflict of testimony was to be expected ; but we think a perusal of these papers will convince the most sceptical that in India are to be found in abundance all the elements of progress and material prosperity—that nothing, in short, is wanting but capital and enterprise to elevate the country from its prolonged depression, and render it of essential service to the mother country. The Nerbudda Valley report, it is true, is not wholly satisfactory ; but if a sufficient supply of wood to melt the iron is not forth coming there is no reason to doubt a due supply of coal will be found on investigation. In the province of Kumaon the researches of Colonel DRUMMOND have already been crowned with suc ee.ss. Both iron ore and fuel have been dis covered. In a route of about sixty miles along the outer face of the lower Himalayan range the gallant Colonel has observed frequent and rich deposits of first-rate ore—solid ironstone actually lying exposed in huge blocks on the surface, and, independent of the bed below, capable of yielding 60,000 tons of metal. At Dechowree, the most western portion of his route, the solid bed cf ore in one part is exposed, we are told, to a thickness of . 30 feet, in another it measured 24, in a third 50 feet. In the area of a mile the ironstone on the surface, it is calculated, would yield not less than 100,000 tons of pig iron. The beds of iron ore in this district, in point of fact, appear to be inexhaustible, and the ore, on being smelted, kas been found to be of " the very best quality.'' The Bengal report is unfavourable, but it is ex ceedingly unlikely Bengal will prove an exception —the more so when it is considered that the process of smelting is being carried on in one quarter by an independent Coal Company. In Madras all that is wanted for the production of iron in abundance is additional capital, the ex istence of rich beds of the ore being indisputable, and the process of smelting being carried on to a limited extent. If there be an exception it will be found in the Presidency of Bombay, where hitherto the iron smelter has almost been driven out of the market by the iron from this country. It is, nevertheless, far from improbable that a discovery of coal may place the 'Bombay smelter in a more advantageous position. The simple, unexaggerated facts contained in the reports suffice, however, to prove that if the future of India is not what her best friends could wish, it will not be because she is wanting in any element of prosperity save the possession and application of capital. Iron and coal she has to offer in abundance. Let her but have the command of capital, and in the speedy activity of her countless millions we shall not fail to recognise a splendid field for our commerce, and another bulwark to our dominion. TEE LATE ATTACK ON THE ENGLISH P BESS. The leader in the Times of the 27th, in reply to the clumsy and intemperate attack of the Moni teur on the British press, is in Vienna considered to be a chef d'enere. Most of the papers have given it in extenso, and even the retrograde party acknowledges that it is " extremely dignified." TETE MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Magdalena, Captain Abbott, left this day, with the usual West India mail, a full cargo, and 176 passengers. The steam-ship Tyne, Captain Vallcr, will take out the next Brazil and River Plate mails, on the 9th inst. The 110r:toward Brazil and River Plate mails will be brought by the Avon, Capt. Revett, and may be looked for :in the 12th inst.

Capt. Cooper, one of the oldest com manders in the Peninsular and Oriental Co., is appointed to take her out, via the Cap:). She has already talcen iu 1,400 tons of coals, and Messrs. Cooksey are busily engaged in shipping the usual stores. Fro n the well known speed of the Simla it is conjectured that she will reach her destination within a short period of the Oneida, which sailed on the lfith On the 4th inst. the Peninsular and Oriental Corn. pany's steam ship Candia will take out the usual East Ind'a and China mail. On the 7th inst. the Madrid, Captain Bradshaw, will take out the usual Peninsular mail for Oporto, Vigo, Cadiz, Lisbon, and Gibraltar. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ships now in dock are the Ripon, Simla, Candia, Tagus, Ma• drid, and Colombo.

Despatches from the Governors of Hong Kong, Cey lon, West Australia, the West Indies and the the Nor - h American Provinces were received, yesterday, at the Colonial•oEhce. THE NlAGARA.—Liverpool, Nov. B.—The entire of the specie brought from the United States per the Nia gara., amounting to 255,874 dollars, was on account of Liverpool merchants. At a meeting of the Chartered Bank of Asia, bold yesterday, Mr. T. W. Henderion in the chair, it was agreed to wind up, in accordance with the recommenda tion contained in the report. The precise amount of specie shipped by the Peninsu lar and Oriental steamer Candia is 607,9161., of which 38,3601. is gold, and 569,5561. silver. Of the latter 234,2061. is taken for China. consequence of the letter addressed by the Crystal Palace Company to the Stock Exchange being considered satisfactory the committee resolved yesterday that the name of the company shall be continued in t as usual. It is understood that all the differences between the English and Swiss shareholders of the South-Eastern Railway of Switzerland have been arranged, and that the balance of 160,0001., certified as due to Messrs. E. Pickering and Co., the contractors, is in ccurse of pay ment. DINNER TO TSB HON. F. HINCZS.—The reputation for administrative capacity which this gentleman has ac quired in Canada, as Primo Minister under the gov( r• norship of Lord Elgin, and -vhich led to his present ap pointment as GoVernor-General of the Windward Islands, does not appear to have diminished by the change of sphere, if we may judge from the sentiments expressed at a grand dgjeuner recently given to his Ex cellency by a district agricultural satiety in Barbadoe , . The eulogium pronounced by the Hon. Dr. Thomas, who presided, upon his exertions to promote the prosperity of the island, elicited the warmest applause. That it was well merited the accord of the local journals, which were not backwardin criticising the administration of his predecessor, and denouncing what were regarded . as jte abuses, leaves no room to doubt. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMB E -R 4, 1856, THE lIVTERNATION.4L LIFE ASSURANCE, SOCIETY OF LONDON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER. Sin, —My attention having been called by inore than 0119 of our policy-holders to a paragraph in your paper of Saturday last, beaded " A Case of American Sad leirism," under an impressipn that it had some reference to the United States Branch of this C3mpany, which has for many years been established in Wall-street, New York, I shall feel obliged if you will explain, in your next number, that the " International," therein referred to, is (or was) a Marine and Fire Insurance Company of New York, and had no connexion whatever with the International Life Assurance Society of London. I bog to refor you to a paragraph, on the same sub ject, in the New Tork Courier, of September 19th. I am, Sir, yours most obediently, EDMOND S. SYMES, Chairman, 142, Strand, London, Nov. 3,185 G. The Earl of Orkney, who has been very ill at Temple more, pronounced out of danger. The Sligo Journal says, with the exception of a re cruiting party, there is not a single soldier at present in Sligo. Yesterday a meet;ng of the Universal Provident Life Assurance Company was held, to settle the list of con• tributories. The liabilities amount to about 5,000/. THE POOR-LAW CONTEST IN ST. PANCRAS —The ves try of St. Pancras have retained Mr. D. D. Keane as their counsel in the probable legal contest about to take place, as to the right of the Poor-law Board to interfere in the management of the affairs of the workhouse. BISHOP OF LONDON.—The consecration of the Bishop (elect) will not take place, as stated by some of the papers, on Sunday, the 16th instant, at Westminster Abbey, but will take place at the Chapel Royal, White hall, on Sunday, the 23d instant. ENTERTAINMENT AT THE LONDON TAVERN BY THE LOEB MAYOR ELEM.—Yesterday the Lord Mayor elect entertained the Ceort of Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and officers of the Corporation of London, and a dis• tinguished party of private friends at dinner, at the London Tavern.

It is intended to branch off from the existing Newmar ket and Bury line at Camrow Bridge. At the Preston Town Hall, on Friday last, a lad named Partington was fully committed for trial for causing an accident on the Preston and Longridge Rail way, by tampering with the " points." There is no truth in the rumour that judgment was to be delivered to-day in the cause of Westerton v. Liddell. THE CROPS IN CONNADGHT. —Speaking of the bar• vest in the west, the Galway Mercury says : "Every thing relative to the harvest is now safe, so that rain can do but little harm. The harvest is a splendid, a rich, and a bountiful one, thanks be to the Almighty Giver." THE FACTORY GIRLS AND PRESTON S. BROOKS.—The factory girls of Lowell have given expression to their feelings upon the late Sumner outrage, by sending to P. S. Brooks thirty pieces of silver (3 cent pieces), a rope, and a winding sheet, with a letter freely ex pressing their sentiments. DEATH OF A COMEDIAN.—An inquest bas been opened at Great Yarmouth on the body of Thomas Russell, a comedian, who died suddenly in the green• room of the theatre of that town on Wednesday even ing. It appeared that he had been in embarrassed circumstances, and had denied himself, to a great ex tent, the necessaries of life. WHAT IS A YOUNG LADY.—This much agitated question, we presume, will now be finally set at rest, as we find an elderly lady advertising for a companion, expressly stating that " the young lady must be about 40 years of age." SEEING HlL—Lothario—Ah ! dearest Ann, of your love, I'm dying, and at your feet I lie, Anna—l see you're lying. The arrivals of specie yesterday comprised 271,0001. from the- West Indies, 51,0001. from Boston, and 15,0001. from the Mediterranean, making a total of 337,000/. Of this 177,0001. is silver and the rest gold. The commercial ad vices from New York by the Niagara describe no great change in the stock market, transactions being in suspense until the arrival of further news from Europe regarding the course cf the Bank of France. In the prevailing uncertainty there was an indisposition to draw bills upon Paris, and the rate of exchange on England had con sequently advanced. The next steamers would be the Ericsson and the Persia, and the latter was expected to take a large amount of specie. Erie was quoted 601 to 61 ; Reading, 80; New York Central, 84 ; and Illi nois, 1161, THE MURDER OF MISS HINDS.—We perceive that the Government has bestowed upon Mr. Nicholas Kelly, R.M., a good service pension of 100/, a-year for the zeal and ability exhibited by him in reference to this out rage. We understand that the pension came to Mr. Kelly quite unsolicited and unexpected by him.—Angle- Celt. HADDOCK FlSHlNG.—Haddock fishing is said to have commenced favourably at all the stations on the north• east coast of Scotland, and that already a larger quan- tity of haddocks has been caught than at any former period to the same date for a series of years. The fisher. men are receiving high prices for the fresh fish. THE ASYLUM FOR IDIOTS.—!The autumnal election of this charity took place at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, on Thursday last, for the purpose of choos ing 15 applicants from a list of 180 approved candidates.

MANCHESTER ART-TREASURES EXHIBITION.—We un- derstand that the Treasury and the Board of Trade have authorised the exhibition at Manchester of the purchases made for 12,000/. from the Bernal Collection of Medieval Att. The purchase.; respective'y made by the British Museum and by the Department of Science and Art will be brought together for this purpose.

Walker, of Nicaragua, an nulling the old decree of the Federal Constituent As sembly, among which was one abolishing slavery in Central America. The effect of this is, that the right to hold slaves is now acknowledged by the government of Nicaragua, and the peculiar institution may therefore be considered as re-established in the republic. ROBBERY AT THE HOUSE OF THE ASSISTANT JUDGE.— On Friday evening, some impudent thief committed a robbery at the residence of Mr. Pashley, Q.C., the Assistant-Judge, in Manoliester-square, in the following manner. He presented an official-looking letter, and said he was to wait for an answer. As the bell rang the footman was bringing the tea service down stairs, and he placedit on a table in the hall while he went to the door. He took the letter upstairs to Mr. Pailsley, and when he came down, the man was gone-30 were the tea spoons, the sugar tongs, tea pot and sugar basin, and an umbrella. The thief got clear away. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—We regret to learn that another collision occurred on this line of railway yesterday after noon. The Midland express, duo at Euston at 4 p.m., ran into a coal train near the King's Langley station, causing serious injury to a great many passengers, and blocking the up-line of rails for a considerable period. The precise cause of the accident has not transpired. Several of the passengers who bad received only minor contusions came on to London by subsequent trains, but those most seriously injured were left at King's Lang ley. The traffic of the line was not materially inter rupted, and the later trains during the evening arrived at Emden with their accustomed regularity. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.—The Council's first session for the academical year was hold on Saturday last. A vote of thanks was then passed to John Hibbert, of Braywick-lodge, near Maidenhead, for his donation of 1001., lately presented to the hospital, the third of the same amount within 12 months, and making with former gifts 4001. The Council received the report of the examiners for the Andrew's Scholarships for the best proficients in Latin, Greek, mathematics, and natural philosophy, recommending Mr Joseph Maurice SiVomon s fo h r ip t , he a fi n r d st, c a o n m d m A e i n r d . iPnercythGe re e g xa fo m r in tl a ie ti s o e n eor p id as s s c e i d iola b r y .

The first scholarship (1001.) was awarded to Mr. Joseph Maurice Solomon ; the second (60'.) to Mr. Alexander Waugh Young. The examiners for the Council, besides the Professors of Latin, Greek, Mathematic', and Natural Philosophy, were Mr. Robert Baldwin_ Hayward, Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, Vice-Principal of University College, Durham, for mathematics ; and for classics, Mr. John C. Addyes, Scott, A.M., Fellow of University College, London. ILLUSTRATED WoRKS.—It can scarcely be made ob• vious to the rising generation how great has been the extension of art and its improved application within the last few years, and how much we are indebted to the originators of periodicals and newspapers (more particu larly the latter) containing; illustrations devoted to science, the chef crceuvres of art, and the events of the day. Among the la't, what innumerable subjects there are for intense interest and attraction—from the deadly conflict by sea or land to the devastating fire and the fearful shipwreck ; or, on the other hand, the race, the review, or the royal procession. Our neighbours, the French, have, with their usual tact and taste, given an immense impulse to that kind cf illustration, in which they enjoy a decided superiority, and which serves to exemplify thw various wares and commodities of our enterprising Eng lish firms. Pernap3 a more striking example can scarcely be afforded than in a work recently put forward, and containing many beautiful fashions in mantles, robes, &c., with descripti ons i n French by Parisi an artistes, and a scale of prices. A more interesting work for the drawing-room table or boudoir cannot be imagined, whether with respect to the present modes of dress, and the convenienc e o f g i v i ng o rders, or as a record and re ference for future ti me s. It is entitled a " M anual o f Fashion," an d i s üblished by the M essrs. Ja y , at their mourning Warehouses, 247, 249, a nd 251, Regent streetp ; and as it is presented, or sent free, on applie%tion, no time should be lost in securing it. MUSIC. EXETER-HALL. There was a concert last evening at Exeter-Hall ; the principal performers being the singers who formed the company at Drury-lane during the recent performances of Italian operas. The programme was entirely made up—things quite familiar to a musical audience, but very well calculated to entertain a popular assembly. The chief attractions were Grisi and Malmo, both of whom exerted themselves greatly and with immense success. They sang together Thnizetti's duet " Tin tenero core," from Roberto Devereux. Mario sang Hat ton's pretty ballad, " Good bye, sweetheart," most charmingly—with a simplicity, expression, and propriety of English elocution which might serve as a lesson even to the best of our native ballad-singers. Grisi sang the air " Tacea la notte," from the Trovatore, in which opera she appeared for the first time i❑ London on Saturday night. The other principal performers last night were M. and Madame Gassier, Formes, Madame Amadei, Messrs. Lorini, Albieini, and Tennant. Their exertion were well received by a numerous audience, everything being warmly applauded, and many things encored. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. Last evening the usual dramatic performances were resumed at this theatre with the " Busy Body," and a variety of other entertainments. The great event of the evening was the reappearance of Mr. Charles Mathews after a long absence from London. The celebrated comedian was honoured with a " reception," which lasted some minutes. Never was he more enthusiasti cally greeted, and never did he prove himself more worthy of admiration than by his delineations of Mar plot in the "Busy Body," and the chief character in "Cool as a Cucumber," on the present occasicia. Mr. Mathews was heartily and deservedly applauded throughout his performances, and called for three times in the course of the evening. The house was crowded in every part. LYCEUM. Mr. Whitehead's three-act drama of the "Cavalier" was revived here last night. Mr. Dillon, as Captain Hargreaves, played with great force and pathos, but the part is scarcely so well adapted fir him as those in which he has already appeared. Mrs. Dillon, as the true-hearted wife, persecuted by, libertine courtiers, acted. with much feeling, and with her hus band was called forward at the end of the second act. After " The King's Musketeers " a new farce was produced, under the title of "Doing the Hansom." It was entirely successful, a result doubtless largely owing to the spirited acting of Mr. J. L. Toole. This gentle. man represents a country youth who, called up to Lon don to receive a legacy, puts up at an inn bearing the Sign of the Red Lion. Leaving his inn without the knowledge of the locality, he finds himself in a Hansom cab, traversing the town and calling at numberless Red Lions in vain quest of the right one. Being (of course) without his purse, his only resource is to endeavour to dodge the cabman, which he tries to do by feigning to have business at a house, hoping to pass through un observed. He is encountered, however, by the master of the house, one of those absurd old gentlemen who exist only in farces, and who, by a series of equivoques mistakes the intruder for an expected suitor for his daughter's band. The cabman, however, has found out his debtor, who endeavours to pass him off as a country friend ; and a series of absurdities occur, ending in the recognition of the cab victimiser, who obtains his legacy and supersedes the expected bridegroom in th© good graces of the absurd old gentleman's daughter. Mr. Toole, who played with unflagging vivacity and animation, is evidently becoming a favourite with his audience, and was greeted throughout with loud laugh ter and applailse. ADELPHI. Last night, after the " Green Bushes," was produced a comic drama, founded on a French piece, " Un Mar. riage a l'Arquebuse," and called "A Border Marriage," in which Mr. Leigh Murray made bis first appearance at the Adelphi after 12 months' absence. The piece is of the slightest construction : some half dozen cavaliers are in hiding, after the battle of Worcester, at the ruinel castle of Sir Walter Raeburn. They are partaking of a banquet, the materials for which have been gathered from the duckpond and fowl-yard of a certain Mistress Willoughby, a dashing young widow living in the neigh bourhood, when the lady herself enters, to complain of the marauders. While there; the idea comes into the head of the most roystering of these cavaliers, one Cap tain Cuxhaven, to draw up a contract of marriage, and to obtain to it the signatures of Raeburn and the lady. These two, fancying it a j)ke, sign readily enough, but Cuxhaven then tells them that they are on Scottish ground, and that the mere fact of the signatures renders the marriage perfectly valid. Then the lady objects, quarrels with her husband, fights him with a rapier and wounds him, finally being brought to love him, and to bring down the curtain on a reconciliation and a prospect of happiness, by a few complimentary sentences, and a pretended wound on the part of the gentleman. - Mr. Leigh Murray acted an uninteresting up-hill part with more spirit than it deserved. Miss Wyndham looked very handsome as the widow ; and Mr. Wright, a cowardly and insolent cook, was, of course, the subject of intense laughter whenever he appeared. The scene, the hall in Raven's Rill Castle, is most admirably put upon the stage, and has quite a Cattermole.ish effect. THE " MONITEUe AND THE ENGLISH PRESS.—Most of our provincial contemporaries published on Saturday and yesterday (including the representatives of public opinion in Liverpool, Leeds, Yorkshire, and Lancashire) devote long leading articles to a consideration of the re cent article in the Moniteur, and we are glad to per. ceive that, without exception, they fully concur with the Times in entering an indignant protest against the ill judged attempt of the Parisian journal to fetter the free dom of the English press. Never was a " move" on the political chess board more wof ally unsuccessful.—Times.

THE CONVICT ROBSON'S PROPERTY.—Yesterday a pub a li t cau nke auction, by by Messrs. Davis and Johnstone, took place Livery Stables, Hart-street, Covent-garden, of the last remaining effects belonging to William Jas. Robson, the Crystal Palace convict. The effects l com pr • Re d a chestnut g eldin g , set of p lated g i g harness, ridin g - s addle", bridles, etabling implements, a hand some brougham, dog-cart, &c. A large concourse of spectaters assembled at the stables long before the commencement of the auction, evidently attracted by the novelty and strange circumstances connected with the possession of the property. The first lot was the, chestnut gelding, described in the catalogue as "clever, with grand action and speed." He found many admirers, and from the upset price-10 guineas—speedily went to 25 guineas, and was ultimately knocked down at 50 guineas. The brougham, by Nurse, well built and nearly now, after a spirited competition, brought sr guineas, and a dog-cart nearly new, 19 guineas. Th several lots of gig -harness, riding-saddle and bridle, horse cloths, rollers, &c., fetched one-third hig h er prices than they cost. Inded, these articles, according to the testimony aboveteihmicolneys of harness manufacturers at the sal g e n , i ve di e n r g e sold far a vehicles realised original value ; while the realised such extravagant prices as could only have been entertained in consideration of the individual w h o origi. nally possessed the property having render e d hi msef amenable to the laws of his country, A WHALE ATTACKING A SHIP.—GREENOCK, Oct. 31. —Tee ship Cuban, of this porS, Captain Galloway, y which arrived he ro from Demerara o n Wednesday, met with a most extr aordinar y adventur e on her homeward voyage. About 9.20 p.m. of the 16th i ns t ant ( naut i cal time), when in hit. 43.49 N., lon. 29.50 W., the ship, which was runn in g before th e wind at the rate of knots an hour, received such a severe shock that she heeled over several strakes, and her way was completely s topped, while the men who were sleeping thrown e stnar board berths of the topgallant forecastl e were o ere u p o n their chests. Shortly a ft er th e shock an immense whale rose at a short distance from the ship's quarter, and after lying motionless for a short time, as if stunned by the blow, swam towards the vessel lt as if with the in tention of repeating the attack. moment of intense anxiety on board, but fo-tunate d l w y i , a n s i7 t a h h ais-lose . to the stern, the monster wheel w ed: th ro h u i n s tail, as he op d p d os s i o te direction and dived, throwine a quantity of blood and water on board. It was a moonlight ni g ht, an d the bulgy of the hove animal could be seen distinctly towering to a considerable height above the surface. When he dived his tail appeared to those on board to he from thirty to forty feet out of the water. The pumps were sounded, but the ship was found to be making no water. From the force of the blow, and the fact that the second mate thought he heard a whale blowing a short time before the shock occurred, it is supposed that the whale made a retgular attack upon the ship, and was not come in contac with while asleep. An estimate of its immense and power may be formed from the fact of its bringing to a stand-still a deeply laden ship of 5 00 tons, soiling at the rate o f near l y ten knots an hour.—Greenock didver tieer. LATEST NEWS. VIENNA, MONDAY. The Austrians have evacuated Forli, Faenza, and The Austrian occupation of the Papal States is now confined to the towns ,of Bologna and Ancona. The squadron still remains stationary, but is ,aking in provisions and war-stores for six months. A letter from Berlin of the 31st ult., in the German, Journal of Frankfort, says :—" A report prevails that the Neapolitan Government has sent t circular to its representatives abroad on the sub ject of the recall of the Ambassadors of France end England, in which it expresses great regret IA the measure adopted by the Western Powers. A letter from Vienna of the 29th ult., in the Constitutionnel, says :—" As has been already 4 tated, our relations with the Cabinet of St. James's are every . day becoming more and more friendly. It may be said that our poli tical situation in this respect has been com pletely modified in the space of from twenty to thirty days. In official circles, pains are taken to show all• the advantages which Austria ob tained at different epochs from her old alliance with England, the only great power of Europe from which we have nothing to fear, but from which, on the contrary, we have much to hope. As to the evacuation of the Danubian provinces, Count de Buol does not seem to attach very high importance to it, and it is regarded here as a ques - tion which time alone can solve to the satisfaction of the great powers interested inthe consolidation of the Turkish empire. Prince Petrulla, whose resignation has been announced two or three times, remains definitively accredited here as re presentative of the King of Naples i the dissen sions which may have existed between the prince and the minister of foreign affairs of Ferdinand 11. appear to be completely removed- The war department is pressing on very actively the termi nation of the new fortifications in our Lombardo venetian provinces. - Verona, in particular, has been placed in a formidable state of defence.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : "I learn that a despatch has been recived this day from Constantinople from M. Thouvenel. It confirms the nomination of Redschid Pasha to the Grand Vizierate, but does not mention the names of the other Ministers. It is said that M. Thou venel recommends that no opinion should be formed as to the political tendencies of th 3 Go vernment until it be completed ; but he does not anticipate that anything hostile is intended against France. The day fixed for presenting the Sultan with the insignia of the Garter was that on which Redschid Pasha entered on his functions as Grand Vizier, and in that capacity he was present at the ceremony. " Instructions were sent to Marseilles that Baron Brenier should on his arrival from Naples lose no time in setting out for Compiegne to see the Emperor. I have just heard that the Baron, who left Marseilles yesterday, has arrived in Paris. " Count Kisseleff, the new Russian Ambassador to the Court of the Tuileries, proceeds to-morrow to Compiegne, to deliver to the Emperor an au tograph letter from the Czar. His credentials will not, I believe, be presented before the return of the Court from its sylvan recreations, and which probably takes place on the 10th." The Paris correspondent of the Pose (second edition),says : " Mr. Petre and Mr. Plunkett have arrived in Paris from Naples. Mr. Petre will leave to morrow (Tuesday) for London. 'Lord Granville is in Paris. He will visit Compiegne. The Marquis Antonini, the Neapolitan Minister, has not left Paris. He holds a language as if he intended to remain." FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. The Emperor, it is thought, will return' to St. Cloud from Compiegne on the 9th, and leave again on the 15th for Fontainebleau. The Moniteur contains a decree promulgating a treaty of commerce concluded on the 17th of April, 1852, between Frarce and the Republic of Liberia. " An Italian journal," says the Constitutionnel, " has spoken of discussions which it declares have' taken place between the Emperor and Prince Jerome relative to the completion of the tomb of the Emperor Napoleon I. The journal in question is ill-informed ; we believe that if the works of the tomb of Napoleon I. have not been terminated, it is because the projects of his Majesty with respect to them are not yet definitively fixed."

A letter from Vienna of the 29th ultimo, in th e German Journal of Frankfort, says :— ,6 Prince Esterhazy, who represented Austria at the fetes of the coronation, went the day before yesterday to Ischl to give the Emperor an account of his sojourn at Moscow. Reports are in circulation in aristo cratic circles relative to the reception given to the P r i nce at Moscow, from which it would appear that a n A very Austria uooirtaatl present rega r d e d b y R uss i a with e eye, and th a t w ith the stra fa ex ception of England no nation is held in great dis fasevvoeruarl by the Czar. The Emperor Alexander on o ccasions gave Prin ce E s t er h azy to under stands this, by not entering into a long conversation with him, and by only distinguishing him in the fetes as his rank strictly required. At one fete, when the Emperor could not avoid exchanging a few words with him, he said :—‘ My dear Prince, I am very pleased to see you h ere ; I only wish that you were not an Austrian, that I might give you all my confidence.' We only give these words under all rederve. Prince Esterhazy, on his side , does not bring with hi m any very pleasing impres sions as to the state of things at St. Petersburg, and particularly as to the plans of reform of the Emperor." THE " MONITEUR" AND THE ENGLIS. PRESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEX. Sir,—lt is perfectly notorious that no matter of importance appears in the Moniteur which is not either sanctioned or promoted by the French Go vernment. It is also perfectly well known that the French Government exercises complete control over the French press, and that they are not per mitted to comment, particularly not to dwell con tinually, on any subject which is distasteful to, and likely to thwart the views of, the ruling powers. With what justice, then, can the Moniteur accuse, as it has lately done, the English press of using unbecoming language towards the French Govern ment and people, knowing, as well it must know, that it is not in the power of any Government or ruling power in England to prevent even the most humble journal in that country from saying and publishing exactly what it pleases ; whereas here, where a complete control exists, several influential prints are not only permitted, but encouraged, to persist day after day in publishing the most offen sive and disgraceful attacks upon the policy and actions of England and the English. I enclose articles from the - Gazette de France, the Assemblee .Nationale, and the Union, all pub lished within the last two or three days, which are by many degrees more offensive and more untrue with regard to England than anything which it can be pretended has appeared in any English jour nal ; and yet it would suffice for the Government to give the slightest hint to any of the papers ln. question to procure perfect silence on all such deli' cate subjects.-1 have the honour, &c., Paris, Nov. 2. AN ANGLO-PARISIAN. " The Gazette de France attributes the present unsettled state of Europe, the financial difficulties of France, and, in fact, all existing evils, to the pernicious influence of England. It says :-- " The conduct of England since the cessation of the Crimean war affords a subject of profound reflection to the civilised world, and it is impossible that France, i° remarking this conduct, can refrain from casting a bitter glance at the past. But let us first examine the present. How is it that Europe does not enjoy at this day that per fect security, that confidence in the future, which shoul d have followed the co nc l us i on o f a peace procured hi the moderation of France and the resignation of Russia! This is caused alone by England, who entered the Con' gress of Paris without attempting to disguiee her disin' clinati3n, and was, so to say, compelled by the unani' mous will of the continental nations. She, therefore, ia taking part in the pacific conferences, spread the seed° of war and of revolution. If we are at this day in lb financial crisis which threatens every fortune, if the springs of trade are rusty, if the social existence is troubled, these circumstances proceed from the preeir tate confidence of the public in the conclusion of peace. But how could it have been imagined that the decision; of a congress would have been openly violated by twu the contracting Powers The fault of our merchants an: capitalists has been to have trusted England. It maY A be affirmed without co n t ra di c ti on th a t, if E ng l an d ha" not stirred up the embers of the conflagration which to.' vaged Italy in 1848, if sh e h a d no t suppor t e d A us tria 1 ° the indefinite occupation by that Power of the Da n: bian provinces, in order to be ju s tifi e d i n occupy i n g , Black Sea with her own vessels, Europe would a t till day enjoy profound peace. Thus, one nation h as a rreste ° the development of universal civilisation, and obstrue°, the expansion of wealth and the welfare of the worki° 9 classes.' "The Assentblee Nationale, whose sole aim of ex istenc e would appear to be to abuse England and to malign b et . 4 Government, contains the following characteristic vie r on the Eastern question : " We differ from the opinions of the Conetitutioa °6 / on only one point. Our contemporary appears su rprew; at the pretensions of Austria and of E ng l an d, which combats, while we are only surprised that they h a e d been advanced so soon. We had certainly n ot belie ved that matters would proceed so r a pidly. There is eve° o f display of clumsiness on the p ar t o f th e Cabala°. Vienna and London in thus unveili ng th e i r secr et pl a n and we recognise in this conduct the turbulence of Palmerston rather than the habitual tempo r is a tion of t' t statesmen of Austria. But we had n ever d ou bted L I. the idea of Engh , a I was to obtain possession c° o f Black Sea, and to establish herself there on the ruin g ht o the Russian navy. It was even clear e r t o our eyes t oi . the desire of substituting her influence in the Praialities for that of Russia was the mainspring of the I g o lutions of Austria.
