'ter recent occurrences any great fluctuations n the prices of the shares of joint-stock banks ex cite anxious attention. During the fortnight pre ceding the stoppage of the Royal British Bank the shares of that concern declined day by day until from 501. they had descended to 201. Subsequently the London and Paris Bank, whose shares with 301. paid were at 81. discount, have found it expe dient to abandon their project, and to prevent by returning the subscriptions received a continuance of -the apparent loss which their shareholders were thus far sustaining nrerely from the effects of pre judice. By this timely act of prudence each holder of a share, instead of having to reckon at market price a loss of 81., will almost immediately get back the whole be has paid, less a deduction, perhaps, of B. or 2/. for expenses. In the case of all bank ing institutions the current prices of the shares form the most important point to which the public should be encouraged to direct their attention. It constitutes, in fact, the only general admoni tion that can be furnished, since such is the sen sitiveness of credit that no persons can venture to publish even a hint to induce caution without incurring the danger of ruining an establishment that may possibly have been perfectly sound, or of having precipitated a calamity that might otherwise, by private efforts, have been averted. Let the fluctuations in the daily list therefore be always a subject of open discussion. In every honest concern the directors and managers will recognise its value equally with the shareholders, since it will enable them to explain accidents or to correct misapprehensions. Assuming this prin ciple to be 'conceded, attention should be called to the position of two banks lately started under the most favourable auspices —namely, the Ottoman Bank and the Bank of Egypt. They both possess charters of limited liability, their boards of direction are unexceptionable, comprising persons of great wealth, reputation, and experience, and they have obtained not merely all the counte nance that could legitimately be afforded them by their own Government, but also the requisite sanc tions from the authorities of the empire in which they are to be carried on. The capital of the' Ottoman Bank is 500,0001., in 201. shares, on which 101. has been paid, and w hi c h a t their first,intro duction commanded a premium of between 21. and 31. The capital of the Bank of Egypt is 250,0001., in 251. shares, with 121. 103. paid, which at one time attained a premium of about 41. In the official list the former are now quoted as saleable only at 21 discount, and the latter at 3} discount. Neither of them have been in operation more than three or four months, but these prices show a depreciation as if in each case about one-fourth of the paid-up capital had been already lost, while, as compared with the quotations current shortly after the issue of the shares, the fall is equal to more than 40 per cent. The question under such circumstances is, should not some explanation be either sought or volunteered ? Supposing anything to be known by private individuals to warrant this distrust, the shareholders should devise means to extract the information for their common protection. If in four months losses or discouragements have been sustained to justify the existing quotations, the sooner each concern is wound up the better. At present nothing is publicly known to the disadvantage of either. Active intrigues and the circulation of false reports by the money dealers at Constantinople and Alexandria, whose profits were likely to be checked by the intro duction of any regular system of public banking, were, of course, to be encountered, but these were anticipated from the commencement, and can scarcely, therefore, have exercised any influence. Neither can the fact that further calls of capital are being made suffice to throw light upon the matter, since there is nothing in the character of the proprietary, in the amount required, or in the state of the money-market, to create the idea that these could cause inconvenience ; while, at the same time, it is to be remembered that a bank in sound condition is not supposed to make calls for any other reason than an increasing ability to em ploy money with greater safety and profit than the shareholders could hope for in other ways. The secret of the decline, consequently, still remains to be revealed. If, instead of being called together only, annually, the proprietors in such undertakings were•to meet, as such should be the case, at least every quarter, there would be no necessity for sug gesting intermediate statements ; but, inasmuch as no prudent person would be content in any ordi nary .business to part with his capital on condition that bo should inquire about it only once a-year, there can be little question that in the present case something of the kind is necessary. It is due, in deed, to the general public, no less than to the shareholders, since projects for the investment of capital in Turkey and Egypt are now numerous, and it is impossible to conceive that, if the expe rience of legitimate banking has been disastrous to the extent to be inferred from the present indica tions in the London share-market, there are not radical peculiarities both in the Government and people which should cause all financial enterprises in these countries to be regarded with the greatest hesitation.—Times City Article. THE ALDERMANIC GOWN OF COLEMAN-STREET WARD —Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of this ward was held at the wardroom, London-wall, for the purpose of agreeing to a requisition to Mr. Deputy Hale to ac cept the office of alderman of the ward, rendered vacant by the death of Alderman Hunter. Mr. J. B. Heath, a past director of the Bank of England, was unani mouPly called to the chair. Mr. J. H. Palmer moved the following resolution :—"That the distinguished position of alderman of the ward having become vacant by the decease of William Hunter, Esq., a requisition be addrossed by the inhabitants to Warren Storms Hale, Esq., the deputy of the ward, soliciting him to stand forward as the future alderman ; and that the same be presented to Mr. Deputy Hale, with the anxious hope of this meeting that he will allow himself to be put in nomination." The resolution was carried unani mously amid acclamations. It was also resolved that the gentlemen present should constitute a committee to carry out the election of Mr. Deputy Hale. A unani mous vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Heath for his courtesy in taking the chair, and the meeting separated. THE NEW Bisnors.—As we have had much pleasure in awarding praise to Lord Palmerston fel. the last 8 or 4 appointments made by him to high offices in the Church, it is with grief and disappointment that we look forward to the next announcement. We fear, from certain ru mours which have reached us, that a venerable noble man, the Nestor of the Cabinet, has latterly exerted his influence, and that the expected appointment to the see of Ripon will be that of a gentleman who,-however re spectable in other capacities, cannot ba described as pos sessing any of those qualifications which are naturally expected in one raised to such an office. We will not indicate the individual, because, as iu the case of Mr. Trench, rumour may have gone beyond the fact. Should, however, the report which wo have heard prove correct, the disappointment of nearly all sections of the Church will be great ; and .the nomination will deprive the Premier of much of the popularity which naturally ac trued from his selection of such men as Dr. Baring and ' Dr. Tait,—Morni7l,9 Herald. TEE CUSTOMS CONGI?ESS. (From the Daily News.) BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23. The President of the Belgian Fro Trade Asso ciation entertained the members of the Congress at a soirée, at his residence, Rue do l'Ecuyer, last evening, when a numerous party attended. Tne affair was one of a purely complimentary nature. The members, who have free entree to the Museum Pdintines, the Botanical Gardens, the Armoury, and other public places, have eagerly availed them selves of their privilege, and certainly their heavy labours in preparing papers to be read at the Con gress, or in puzzling over appalling columns of figures stated in hectolitres, kilogrammes, and other strange measures of " weight, length, capa city, or value," entitle them to unbend a little in the'r rare moments of leisure between the general seances, sectional meetings, and other committee work. Until to-day, however, the weather has been very unfavourable for out-door recreation ; and the earlier comers, who flattered themselves that they would have ample opportunity to inspect the " lions" of the place before settling themselves down to earnest business, had begun to ask rue fully whether it rained always in Brussels. Little consolation is obtained from the native Job's com forters, who meet all querulous remarks with the matter-of-fact rejoinder of the citizen, " Oui, messieurs, la Belgique, c'est un pays ties humide I" But an auspicious change has at le ng th t a k en place, which is p ar ticularly fortunate, as this was the opening d a y o f t h e national' fifes to celebrate the anniversary of the aebievement of Belgian independence. The citizens re gard these ceremonies with great interest, andeven with enthusiasm ; yet their abandon in the midst of the general rejoicings does not much prejudice their levotion to the " main chance." The hotels and the shopkeepers are reaping a rich harvest from the great influx of strangers drawn from far and near to attend the various conferences and exhibitions of which Brussels has lately been the scene, as well as to witness the national festivities, which are, of course, conducted on thegrandest scale in the capi tal. One peculiar trait in the Bruxellian character strikes most of the visitors from other countries— namely, their sheer incapacity to comprehend the value of foreign money, which they are perversely prone to depreciate. The fetes begin to-day, and will extend to the 26th. The ceremonies for the first day comprised solemn funeral services in the morning at the churches of St. Michael (the patron saint of Dame's) and St. Gudule, in honour of the citizens who fell in the cause of their country during the revoletion ; a distribution of medals at the Temple des Augustins at noon, in reward for acts of courage and devotion ; and in the evening a grand military retraite round the park, in which the bands, trimpeters, and drummers of the army and the civic guard took very active, if not very prominent, parts. All th© pubic buildings and many of the private houses were gaily decorated with flags and other symbols of rejoicing ; and throughout the day the places and stree s were crowded with sight-seers in their best holiday attire. The tariff of the enter prising fraternity who hawk the official programme of the fetes undergoes great fluctuations ; yester day the price was ten centimes per copy, to-day it has fallen to five centimes for a Belgian purchaser and ten centimes for an English one. The several sections met in the committee-rooms adjoining the principal place of meeting this morn ing, when rep or t s , s t a ti s ti ca l tables, andother docu ments poured in likeaflood upon the vice-presidents. The committees were engaged in classifying and ex amining these papers until the hour arrived for the aggregate meeting. The Congress re-assembled at 1 o'clock to day at the Hotel de Ville ; M. de Brouckere again pre siding. Among the new arrivals were Mr. Schole field, M.P., and delegate from the Birmingham. Chamber of Commerce, Who presented to the Con gress a tabulated statement exhibiting the approxi mate tariffs of various European and American na tions. The minutes of the previous sitting having been read and confirmed, letters were read from absent adherents, and among others from M. Dela mediae' members of the Ch am b er o f C ommerce of Lyons, Montpellier, • Bordeaux, and Manchest er (Mr. Boothman), M. Chevalier, Conagilior of State (Herault), the Lord Mayor of London, and le Due d'Harcourt. Groups of elegantly-dressed ladies occupied a series of small galleries ranged like opera boxes along one side of the hall, and ap peared to manifest considerable interest in the pro ceedings. The series of questions previously drawn up to guide the deliberations of the Congress has been subjected to revision, and the following order of the day has been formulated, the better to de fine the limits within which the speakers are to confine themselves : 1. Explanation of the reforms effected in different countries during the last 10 years; progress of public opinion ; results attained. 2. Examination of the obstacles which obstruct the extension of international commercial relations in each country. Evils consequent upon those obstacles. 3. Examination of the means proposed, or to be pro posed, for removing or mitigating the obstacles to Cus toms reform, and also of tile best mode of achieving such reform. Resolutions submitted to the Congress. 4. Criticism of the objections (especially those that are new, if there be any such) offered to Customs reform, and ostensibly derived from the principles of justice and of political economy, or from a regard for the respective interests of nations, of the working classes, of the pro tected branches of industry, -and of the public revenue. The first speaker called upon was M. SCIALOJI, delegate from Sardinia, who was received with ap plause. He said that the people of Piedmont had been enabled to devote themselves to commercial pursuits with an energy which their free institu tions alone could impart. Describing the bene ficial results that had sprung from their commer cial treaties with Belgium and other countries, he quoted official figures to prove that the reduction of Customs' imposts and differential duties within the last few years had alike benefited native in dustry and increased the public revenue. Tne re missions extended to many articles of commerce amounted to from 70 to 80 per cent. ; and, not withstanding the total abolition of the taxl.tion on corn and cereals iu 1847 and 1848, the public treasury fully retained its previous receipts. The withdrawal of artificial protection from the paper manufactures of Sardinia had proved most salutary. These tariff reforms had greatly ameliorated the condition of the working classes, as was evidenced by the increased consumption of articles of sub sistence and wearing apparel, their improved dwel lings, and their advanced education. Subsidiary reforms must, however, be combined with an itie proved system of tariffs to give proper effect to commercial and industrial freedom. Other abuses required to be swept away ; the facilities offered to commerce at various seaports must be increased ; the diffusion of knowledge among the population demanded the earnest care of every Government ; and he was glad to say the honest and enlightened Monarch who now reigned in Piedmont was de termined to persevere diligently in the promotion of these important objects. His people had al ready tasted the sweets of liberty, and in concert with their rulers they were bent on developing to the utmost the industrial, moral, intellectual, and political interests of the country. (Loud applause.) M. le Comte ARRIVABENE (Tuscany) observed that his country was the first to proclaim the free dom of commerce, and presented on behalf of the Societe Geographile of Florence a paper detailing the history of commercial legislation in Tuscany, together with their views of the principles which ought to regulate the intercourse cf natiow. M. GARNIER (Paris) remarked that free trade principles had scarcely begun to be understood in France 10 years ago, their progress being totally arrested by the revolution of 1848. The Provi sional Government, although professing Liberal doctrines, shrank from proposing th e a d m i ss i on, free of duty, of the primary articles of subsistence. ThaConstituent Assembly effected nothing in the shape of Customs reform. When M. de Beuve moved a measure of radical reform in the French tariff the proposition was rejected, having been resisted by M. Thiers, in an oration which was one tissue of the grossest economical fallacies. , The Ministry of 1852 brought forward several impor tant reforms, and cattle were admitt e d f ree from imposts. any other articles were admitted at nominal rates, to the great advantage of the hum bler classes. A project bad been submitted to the Corps Legislatif for the removal of all prohibitory duties ; and, without being too sanguine, it was hoped that the body would be induced by the ex ample, influence, and experience of England to make a move in the right direction. The advo cates of free trade were steadily increasine. in France. The entire press regarded it favourably, the manufacturing and commercial classes were awakening to its advantages, and even the agricul tural interest, ever slow to recognise what really tended to their benefit, were beginning to look upon it with diminished distrust. The practical adoption of such reforms were, however, obsti nately resisted by a mall, yet compact, fac tion, who clung with invincible tenacity to ab-g surd and antiquated notions. The friends of commercial 'reform in France were not, however, appalled at the obstacles in their path, but were resolved to wage their struggle until it was trium phant. (Cheers.) M. WoLowsKt (Paris), amplifying the statement of the last de; uty, said that, although France had yot much to accomplish Lefori it could be said to enjoy commercial freedom, it had, nevertheless, made considerable progress in that direction, and the principles of free trade had there a body of illustrious champions, among whom wore MM Bastiaf, L. rancher, Blanqui, de Perron, &c., who by their eloquent and logical writings had demon strated that the only true bases of in'e.aational commerce were harmony and mutual confidence— not jealousy or antagonism. M. Mormranr (Brussels) stated the advantages that had been derived from the suspension for two years of the imposts on coal in Belgium, and re• commended their permanent removal. Strong in fluences, he said, were at wor k t o prevent the application of free trade to the home manufactures of that country, many departments of which, such as the woollen, cotton, and iron trades, were highly "protected," to the serious detriment of the consumer and the persons employed in their production. The interest taken in Belgium in the cause of reform might be judged of from the fact that the manufacturers of Verviers--an important seat of industry—had furnished a contingent of 200 adherents to the Congress. M. Molinari con chided by referring to the existing treaty of com merce between France and Belgium, regarding the operation of which, he said, the most. woeful pre dictions were hazarded, because it embodied an in fusion—infinitesimal, lie thought—of free-trade principles. These evil presages had been entirely falsified by the event, and past experience would, iu his opinion, ful'y justify the Government in ad vancing boldly in the same direction. Dr. BAMBERG (Berlin) described the origin and progress of the Zollve,rein and the working of the treaties concluded between that combination and the Baltic towns, Bremen, &c., arguing that analo gous commercial confederacies might be established between other continental countries with advan tage to their commercial interests. The CHAIRMAN then took the sense of the meet ing in favour of passing to the second branch of the question submitted to the Congress. The decision was unanimous for that course; and the other speakers who had observations to offer on the first section were requested to hand them in in writing to the bureau. M. PASCAL DUPRAT (Paris) next addressed the Conference. He passed in rapid review the vari ous obstacles which impede the development of un restricted exchanges, dividing them under the heads of physical obstacles arising from geogra phical position ; political obstacles, such as mutual jealousies, fomented by Governments ; and moral obstacles, engendered by ignorance, prejudice, and sectional privileges. The first class of impediments were being fast diminished by railways, steam com munication, and the electric telegraph ; the second would disappear under the operation of inventions which seemed destined ultimately to convert Europe into one nation. The worst antagonists of freedom of commerce were, of course, the factions of vested interest, who might, however, be brought to move forward in time, though doubtless only under compulsion. The orator then proceeded at great length, and in a very eloquent vein, to expa tiate on the fundamental principles of free trade, treating them consecutively in their commercial, social, political, and moral aspects. M. VANDERBRUCK (Central Agricultural Society of Belgium) dwelt upon the incubus which weighed down agriculture in that country in the shape of octroi duties, and recommended the abolition of the system of city dues, commercial taxes, and similar imposts on trade. A proposal of this cha racter had been adopted that morning in the second section, and would be brought up at the subse quent sitting. - M. MULLEEDORFF (Chamber of Commerce, Vi viers) followed in support of the same views, and combated the foolish dread that free trade would destroy homu manufactures by inundating the countries adopting it with foreign products. Mr. OLIVEIRA, M. P. (whose remarks were much applauded), said he represented a very numerous body in England, whose object it was to obtain a reduction of the duty upon foreign wines. As he desired to be very brief, he would hand in for pub lication a paper he had prepared, having reference to the various interests involved in this important subject. He argued that the high duty in England upon wines was in direct opposition to the doc trines of free trade. It had the effect of keeping down the revenue upon wines ; it produced among the English people the habit of consuming ardent spirits, which led to much demoralisation and crime ; and it had the further injurious effect of giving France, Spain, and Portugal, as wine-pro ducing countries, an argument for maintaining a prohibitory tariff upon English manufactured ar ticles. Mr. H. BOHN (publisher, London) next ex pounded his views to the Conference on the sub ject of an international book post, based •n prin ciples analogous to the system recently introduced into En gland. The Congress shortly afterwards adjourned. The following letter from. Mr. Cobden was read at the Congress yesterday : . " Midburat, Sept. 17. " Dear Sir,—l lament my inability to accept your invi tation to the Free-trade Congress at Brussels ; but be assured that my most cordial sympathies accompany your demonstration. Several English deputations will, I hope, be present; but should the attendance from this side of the Channel be less numerous tian was expected, do not, I pray, attribute it to any indifference to the progress of Free-trade principles, butratherto the confidence we feel that our own successful example will, without any propa gandism on our part, induce other nations to enter upon the same commercial policy. It must be admitted, more over, that the unanimity of sentiment in this country upon the question you are about to discuss is not favourable to the manifestation of thatactiveenthusiastn which requires antagonism to draw it forth. Ten years' experience has worked such a revolution in public opinion, that I doubt if a sane man can be found einem"; us who would wish to revive the economical regime of 1845 Indeed, if I were asked to point out the most zealous freetra,ders of our d I should be inclined to look for them in the ranks of those who were formerly our stoutest opponents, for no where has the awakening stimulus of competition dif• ftved such benefit as among the protected interests themselves. It is no exaggeration to say that agriculture has during the past ten years made greater strides in the path of improvenient than in the previous half century, and never did it stand so erect and lock with such confi denco to the future as now, that ali legislative protection being withdrawn, its prosperity depends on the unaided resources of science, skill, and clpitat, Oar shipowners, too, who for two centuries had been taught to believe that the navigation laws of Cromwell were as necessary to their existence as the compass or the rudder, have, since the abrogation of that cede, carried improvements, both moral and material, into our mercantile matine with an energy and courage of which the nation may feel justifiably proud. " You are pleased to say that if our free trade policy could be explained by me at your congress it might have a beneficial effect. Pardon me for doubting whether a few figures will not speak with an el 3quence to which I ()mid give no additional force. I will only trouble you with a list of our exports for the last ten years, begin ning with 1846, when Sir Robert Peel's Government abolished the corn laws, and dethroned the ancient pro tectionist superstitions : 1846 1847 1848 1849 1850 1851 1852 1853 1854 1855 1856, 7 months "You will find that the above table exhibits a steady yearly progress, interrupted only by the revolution of 1848 and the war of 1854-1855. But observe the up ward rebound of the present year of peace, in the first seven months of which our exports have reached 64 mil lions sterling, being at the rate of 110 millions for the whole year, or nearly double the amount of 1846. No other instance of so large and rapid an increase of foreign trade can be cited in the annals of the world. I antici pate that this year our exports will exceed those of France, Austria. Russia, and Spain together, the four largest States of Europe, containing au aggregate of four times our population ; that they will amount to double those of the United States, whose distinctive party banners seem to bear every conceivable device excepting those of commercial freedom. I have some times met with the objection in foreign countries that the general extension of free-trade principles would only give an undue advantage te) England. But ought net this jealousy of England to be rather awa keued by the gigantic preponderance of wealth and power which the exclusive adoption of the free trade policy is conferring on her " I know that the philanthropists assembled at Brus sels, not content with this proof of our material pros perity, will extend their investigations to the region of moral statistics, and inquire into the progress of educa tion, crime, pauperism, &e. Let me stipulate beforehand that free trade be not held responsible for the misuse ct the wealth which it confers upon a matien.

STAMPED ing one more to list of Sydney Smith's ' foolish, but just and necessary wars,' and I am afraid we are now investing more in l'arlike preparations than ever we di I at any former period of peace; nor can it be denied that never in my experience were we, as a nation, giving fe) little attention to domestic reform as at present. It need not surprise u?, then, if the improvement of the popula tion had not kept pace with the increase of our national wealth. But this only tends to prove that the moral fruits of our principles cannot be gathered by one nation alone. It is only when freetrade shall have become the i iternational code of the civilised world that its. highest blessings will be realised in the purer spirit of forbear ance and justice which Rill characCerise the intercourse of nations. And how is this consummation, so d-ar to the heart of every genuine Freetraler, to be attained 1 "I hal the opportunity, a few years since, of study ' ing the position of the free-trade cause in nearly all Vie countries of .Europe, and it was very similar to that in which we found it in England before the agitation of the League. Everywhere, as with us, there were three parties to the controversy—the Executive Government, the Protectionists, and the publio ; and everywhere, as here, the monopolists, by pretending to represent the interests of the public, had contrived to secure a preponderance in the councils of the Government. Those very fallacies, ' protection to nationality,' in dependence of foreigners,' &c., which it had required a seven years' logical warfare to silence at home, I found still flourished in undisputed authority In every part of the Continent. But everywhere the Executive Government appeared to be awakening to the conscious. ness thit its interests were identical with those of the people at large s 'and that the Protectionist policy was incompatible with the prosperity, of the public revenue. I confess that my chief hope rests on the poverty of the Continental Governments. The codtinual augmentation of their military establishments will compel them to . enter upon a reform of their tariffs, as the only mode of enabling their peoples to support the c'nstant increase of expenditure. There is scarcely a country in Europe whose revenues might not be largely augmented by aboliShing its prohibitive and modifying its protective Custom duties. . In this way a Peel ;or a Huskisson c3uld, in France, Russia, or Spain, increase the annual income several millions sterling, and give an indefinite expansion to the industry and wealth of the pe , pie. "I will only take the liberty of adding that if I cmild have been present at your meeting, and my opi, ion had been asked as to .the manner in which you way most effectually forward the great oh], et you have in view, my answer would have been—By exhibiting to the surround ing nations the practical results of free trade in Belgium itself.

The speeches of your mer chants and manufacturers, with their practical arguments and homely illustrations, cannot fail to enlist the mass o the people in your ranks.

It was a noble idea which prompted you to throw open your stately halls to visitors from all parts of the world, thus evincing your faith in the universality of the truth of free•trada principles, by offering to prove their adap tation to the circumstances of the earLh's surface and to the wants of every race 'of men.

Excursions by laud and sea, pic nics, visits to remote nooks on the banks of the Adour and the Nive,„ quiet family parties, much more agreeable than the more crowded and more formal-asaemblies of the Tuileries and St. Cloud, moonlight rambles on the beach or over the rocks and headlands of the coast, vary the monotony of a rural life. If one may judge from appearance the Emperor was never more happy than he has been during his holiday at Biarritz. The complete bull-fight so anxiously expected by everyone, and which has attracted so many strangers to Bayonne, took place to-day. To-morrow, if the weather permit, a second representation of the same kind will be given, and no doubt with the same success. This ordinarily quiet town has for the last few days completely changed its aspect. From six o'clock this morning until 2 in the afternoon the pleasure trains of Bordeaux and the diligences of Pau and Toulouse, with hardly any intermission, brought in strangers ; and vehicles of every description, from flax, Mont St. Mars, and other adjacent towns and villages disgorged their occupants in the streets of St. Esprit and Bayonn e . Th e Ad our and Nive, smooth and unruffled as glass, and so limpid as to reflect with wonderful accuracy the beautiful slopes which rise on their banks, were covered with sail boats and chalands, bringing the population from the surrounding country. From the hills and valleys descended the old and young of the Basque country, arrayed hi their scarlet sash and blue berret, chanting their favourite melodies or uttering their well-known cries. The women bore baskets, in which the previsions for the day were carefully packed. Not the least remarkable feature was the grisette of Bayonne, with her dark glossy hair turned back from her forehead, or, still more gracefully, parted madonna-like, with the tiny kerchief of silk or gauze coquettishly wound round the back of the head, and its ends flowing loose in the breeze ; the little gold watch and chain—the gift probably •f some admirer—glittering at the waist, the neat slipper hardly covering the foot, and the form whose sym metry required no artificial development. The Spanish Basque towns near the frontier sent forth their contingent af spare and active men and pretty women; and Irun, Fontarabia, San Sebastian, Tolosa, and even Pampeluna came to witness and criticise .their national sport as exhibited on a foreign soil and presided over by an Emperor. Bayonne and St. Esprit are actually invaded by a multitude. As for hotels and lodging houses, they have been filled to excess for more than a week past. How food and lodging are provided it is dif ficult to say, for days ago the hotel-keepers were driven to their wits' enu to provide accommoda tion for the crowds that throng to them. Many visitors are said to have passed the night in the car riages that brought them hither, and many must have bivouacked on the banks of the river, or sought shelter in the vessels along the quay. The churches of St. Esprit and Bayonne were this day full of strangers, and among them might be recog nised several who a few days ago were strolling on the Boulevards of Paris, or rusticating at Boulogne sur-Seine, but to whom the attraction of a corridu de torus, and the facility afforded by the pleasure trains of enjoying what it is to them a novel spec tacle, proved irresistible. Even Biarritz itself was this day quite deserted, and when a Sunday visit to that favourite resort is given up one may easily judge of the interest excited by the bull-fight. As the rain poured down abundantly the whole of yesterday and part of the day before, it was feared that the general expectation would meet with disappointment. Fortunately for the lovers of the tourmaquia no such casualty occurred, and the most enthusiastic poet could hardly have imagined finer weather. The sky was without a cloud, the air was warm but not oppressive, and a fresh but gentle breeze kept the pennons that floated over the bull-ring in perpetual motion and tempered the ar dour of the sun-beams; and the atmosphere w transparent that the m oun t a i ns looked as ift a h s e s ; were within a stone's throw. Froman early hour the throughfares, and every avenue leading to the bull rir,g were thronged. The Place d'Arme which is to Bayonne what th e P aco de la Concordesi stoParis, the Pont Mayon, which crosses the NiVe and leads from the larger to the less Bayonne; and the hand some new stone bridge by which you cross the Adour, were decorated with streamers. On the square of St. Esprit a triumphal arch was erected, covered with laurel, intermingled with white and red roses, and surmounted with the Imperial eagle; a garland of iloweis hung from the roof, and the houses in front of which the Emperor was to pass were decorated with flags and Imperial emblems. At half-past 12 o'clock the various entrances to the bull-ring were literally besieged by an anxious and impatient crowd. It was remarked by the Spaniards that the arrangements were inferior to those they are accustomed to iu their own country. They complained that the greater part of their seats were not numbered, so that the first comera got the best places. On suclioecasions people are apt to be selfish, and make use of any means how ever unfair to get admittance. They who have the broadest pair of shoulders have the advantage, and pefsons less audacious or less endowed with physi- /~0~ ~~/ eal force are sure to be unsucces. each seat has its number, there it and every one with his ticket in his once where he is to place himself. for these exhibitions last, no doub. amateurs will imitate a country which, however disorderly otherwise, may, in this respect at least, boast of its superiority. Exactly as the clock struck 3, the hour announced for the performance,. the peror and Empress en tered ,their box ; they were received with much. acclamation by the 5,000 or 6,000 spectators who filled the amphitheatre. They had come from Biarritz in a plain, open carriage, without escort of any kind. A char-a-bane, with six or seven persons belonging to the household, followed them. The EmpreSs Eugeni e presented herself as a Spanish woman genarally does when she, attends a corrida. She was dressed in black, with a black mantilla—a French bonnet would have been a solecism, and one small red flower in her hair. Her beauty an I her grace, which her costume so well set' off, ex, i.:ed admiration, and her presence was hailed by re peated bursts of applause. Operations com menced soon after the entrance of their Majes ties. The leaders of the cua d r ill a , or trop of hull fighters, all from Andalusia, were Manuel Dotnin guee, Thsperdieio, and Jose Carmena, alias Il Pauadero, or " the Baker." Some years since Desperdicio. for some offence or other, quitted his country. He went to South America, and posed the ptriod of his exile in the practice of the taruro maqueict among the wild bulls of the pampas. Ho returned to Spa i where his "education" was com pleted, and be exhi' , ited as a torero. He profited. by his experience, and was soon known in Anda lusia as one of the most successful pupils of the celebrated Chiclanero, and the most formidable rival of the Sal imanquino. He was engTed this year in Madrid, where revolutions and coups d'etat never interfere with such sports, except when the principal actor, like Pucheta, engages iu the equally dangerous profession of politics, and it was then that the Emperor's brother-in-law, the Duke of Alba, engaged him with his cuadriqa for Bayonne. The second espada was until lately a baker (pana dero) in Seville. The rising "artists," Jose Usa and Francisco Aragon, formed part of the troop. The picadores, or...lA= Bll2 'm i , were Jose Mims. whp is well known in .the towns of Andalusia • Pedro Romero, a pupil of th e we ll k nown Corchado ; An tonio Calderon, who, in spite of his sleepy air, actually makes the spectator shudder at his auda cious bearing with the bull ; and Jose Trigo, who is esteemed by the good people of Madrid as the " classical" picador. Calderon and Munos fought the first bull. He was a finely formed animal, with small black herd, and short but formidable looking horns, eyes that moved about incessantly, and most nimble legs. He bounded furiously out of his den the moment the door was opened, and after a few turns of the ring looked defyingly and fiercely at his attackers and at:the spectators. When, how ever, be came to a "conference" with the pica dores he became more calm, and he seemed wd ing to accept a treaty of peace. The chulos would not consent to the terms whatever these were ; they shook their gay cloaks in his face, and his fury again returned. He attacked Calderon's horse in the r ear and the picador was evidently unprepared for this mode of assault. He defended himself however with out losing his saddle, and th e h one go t r id o f t h e bull without more serious damage than a slightly gored leg. , Trigo, the second picador, apparently annoyed at his comrade's negligence, came up at full gallop, and rushed against the furious bull. In a second Trigo lay sprawling on the ground, with his horse killed beside him. Pauadero and Aragon helped him to rise, and he went in anger in search of another quadruped. Usa planted, el tergo, a pair of banderillas or darts in the neck of the arinial, dropping suddenly on him, and them gliding away by the left. He succeeded well in his feat, and was much applauded. Four pairs of deals were struck in the bull's neck by Usa and Chacon t and after some further play the trumpet gave the signal of death. Desperdicio,' whose duty it was, as first matador, to kill the bull, advanced, as is the etiquette, ,to the Emperor's box, and asked permission to do the deed. This, of course, was accorded, and he flung his montera cap in the air, which meant that he staked everything on ono cast. He despatched the animal in two blows. The second bull, after a similar trial as the first, was killed by the pamadero in one stroke, which Montes himself might have envied. The :lm• operations were repeated throughout, and the re sult was that six bulls were killed and eight horses. By those who love and understand such displays the fight was pronounced very good. The animals were generally high spirited, and the bull-fighters showed admirable dexterity and skill: They were repeatedly and enthusiastically applauded by the spectators. The performance ended at six o'clock, and the Emperor and Empress drove back to Biarritz. Crowds of persons failed in procuring places in the ring, which held about 5,000 or 6,000. They were obliged to content themselves with such sports as mountebanks and jugglers, et hoc genus omne, provided for them outside. Military bands wore in attendance, and a patrol of (Masseurs and a detachment of infantry kept the way clear. I It 1 , .; £A . DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE TIPPERARY BANK. ; It is stated that the provincial creditors of this *etched swindle are about to make a movement at the late bead-quarters of the bank. A public meeting, under the auspices of the Rev. Dr. Haw ley, an influential parish priest, is to be held shortly in the town of Tipperary, with a view of taking steps to prevent the frightful litigation which threatens to swallow up any assets that may be hereafter forthcoming. The deposits in that branch of the bank amounted to 70,0001., and the creditors—chiefly small industrious farmers—are more numerous than in any other locality. / ( THE HIGHWAY TO AMERICA. The Limerick Observer of yesterday reproduces from a New York paper (Meagher's Irish News) the following piece of intelligence under the head of " Good News for Ireland :" "From our ei,teemed and excellent friend John B. lia-vey, of Boston, we have received a vary welcome lettvr, from which we think it due to our readers t give tie following extitUt " -project is now on foot to establish a line cf packets between 'river and one of Coe western ports t,f Ireland—Galway or Limerick. Mr. John Collins, of Fall River, is the eriginat r and prime mover in ti is affair, and has already received signatures among the American merchants and bankers of this city for $25 000 worth of stock. Lis proposed t.l raise $lOO,OOO, in shares of $lOO each, a , d when the st - oca is all suo berthed for to field a meeting of the shareholders aid mature their oreani,ation: lc is intended ti send one or more agents to Ireland to solicit the co-operation of the merchants, manufacturers, capitalists, and patriots of that country. lam satisfied the plan is feasible, and if carried out to completion would be a great benefit to Ireland. It would bring the countries into direct inter course, anti be of great advantage to Lido manufacturer?, who are now obliged to send their wares through the English market, which are afi:erward s sold here as Eng lish goods. Besides, I tkiok it would be a great advan tage to the poor emigrant, who in most instances is obliged to-proceed to England on his way here. Mr. Collins was here within a day or two, and got a deal of stock taken up. 110 thinks he will be able to procure the nbce , sary amount among New Eo g l an d I r i sinneu, and that in early spring two ships at least can be p!ac.td on the line." The Limerick Journal thus comments upon the renewed prospect of an Irish American packet station : " We shall eagerly watch and anxiouPly wait far fur ther information as to the progress of this new line of ' steamers, but we shall not indulge in atiy day dreams which might only serve to illustrate the old adage about counting unhatched chickens. We shall only repeat, what we have already said n.ore than once, that the establishment of a regular line of Irish American steam-packets is merely a question of time and the exi gencies of commerce, and that 'it must quickly follow, it it do not precede, the completion of the Magnetic Sub Atlantic Telegraph." Toe name of Collins, how ever, is one of good omen. To that energetic proprietary belong the fleet of nob'e steamers, among which the Pa cific, the Baltic, and the ill-fated Arctic have won world wide reputation,and whose spec I necessitated the putting forth of England's utmost powers to maintain, not su premacy, but mere equality upon the ocean. The name of Collins deserves the eternal gratitude of England for awakening her from a fatal trance of fancied security in ber possession of the seas. We bhall rejoice if Ireland shall incur a similar obligation to the name for awaken ing her from her lethargic state of inaction, and opening kip resources which her sons have hitherto made few and feeble efforts to display.", LORD CARLISLE IN BELFAST.
