T a the ELECTORS of the BOROUGH of KINGSTON UPON-HULL, ENTLEMEN,— TEL.E well-merited elevation of Mr. Watson to the Bench having created a vacancy in the represen tation of your Borough in the Commons House of Parliament, I aspire to the honour of succeeding him. My opinions are essentially Liberal ; I have always enter tained and advocated those principles by which the civil and religions liberties of the people have been established, their happiness insured, and their social and intellectual condition mproved. The wealth and prosperity of your great town, depending, R s they do, upon unrestricted commerce, must have led you t o appreciate and value the benefits of the important princi phrof Free Trade, and to desire to see that principle carried t o it, fullest extent. There are many measures essential to that 6+:icot, all of which, with a due regard to legally vested interests'. I should cordially support. I shoul.i advocate a considerable extension of the Parlia mentary ik-anchise, believing that the increasing intelligence of the muse., entitles them to be trusted with the selection of those who are to represent them in the Legislature ; and in order that the voter should have the free and unfettered exer cise of such priv. , lege, it is essential, I think, to give him the protection and security of the Ballot. Civil and religions liberty requires yet to be fully vindi cated by the admission of the Jew to Parliameit. Had I been in Parliament I should have voted for the Bill introduced by Sir William Clay for the abolition of Church Bates, and I hope to see some such measure speedily adopted. I have seen with pleasire the adoption of measures remov ing abuses in our Criminal and Civil Judicature. Many im provements are yet required, and my humble efforts should be at the command of those able lawyers now engaged in the laudable object of reforming the administration of the law. I should support the Government of which Lord Pal merston is the head. We are indebted to him for bring ing about a Peace, which, though somewhat hastily con cluded, will, I trust, be permanent and secure. Clouds still darken the horizon, and no man can predicate from what quarter or how soon a storm may come. Should danger arise, the country will, I believe, have more confi dence in the safety of the vessel of the State while his ex perienced. hand Is on the helm.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient and faithful servant, EDWIN JAMES. 63, Pall-mall, Nov. 6, 1856.

The Moniteur —which ere this has probably repented in sackcloth and ashes its insolent, un warrantable, impolitic, and unavailing onslaught on the Press of England —has discovered a new topic wherewith to edify its readers. Its columns are occupied with a long, and fulsome political address, delivered in the Imperial Court by M. VAISSE, the Procureur-General, and which, how ever misplaced, was " frequently interrupted by the plaudits of the assembly." The speech might have been very appropriate if delivered from the Tribune in the Senate or the Chamber of Depu ties ; but it was in singularly bad taste when made before the venerable Judges of the land ; and if it had the effect of inducing any of the number to join in the applause. that repeatedly disturbed the Court, it will indeed have tended to bring the majesty of of the law into contempt and disrepute, and to prevent! the hope of judicial impartiality in any trials where political questions may be at issue. In many respects the practice of the French and English Courts differ materially. We may consider our own system best calculated to pro mote the ends of justice, and much fairer to the accused. We may therefore criticise the admi nistration of the law, although we cannot com plain that an independent people should retain the plans most congenial to their habits and mode of thought. But heretofore there has been one point in common between the tribunals of both nations. The Judges, while on the Bench, have refrained from discussing political matters, and restricted themselves solely to legal and profes sional questions. Bat M. VAISSE has greatly exceeded the salutary limits hitherto prescribed, and reached per saltum a senatorial position. He earnestly protests against what he is pleased to term " the false maxim which has fallen on our ears," that " Judges should not meddle with politics." The learnel Procureur certainly attempted to qualify the strange doctrine he was promul gating by fine-drawn distinctions between the political subjects into which a Judge might pro perly enter and those from which he should carefully abstain. They should eschew as abominations all liberal notions—everything that could by any possibility promote the liberties of the people. But the " Divine right" of Emperors should be supported to the utmost, so that, in fact, trial might be dispensed with, and the act of accusation deemed equivalent to con demnation. M. VA ISSE certainly bids high for imperial fa vour. He puts forward some startling doctrines, which might have puzzled " toadies" of inferior skill. He advances views of the prerogative that would have delighted the heart of our own JA.NES the FIRST. He declares that " the will of Go* aas laid upon us in this matter only the law of obedience to powers regularly established;" greatly prefers a parvenu to a long-established dynasty, insisting that " to say it is new, in only to say that it is, and should be so much the more dear to the nation, as it is nearer to the time in which public gratitude consecrates it. Its title is not in its antiquity, but in its work accomplished !" This is a view which will doubtless be very acceptable to Loris NAPOLEON (and probably very profitable to the orator), inasmuch as it places him on a pinnacle far beyond any contemporaneous Sovereign to whom the Crown has descended through a long line of ancestors. But the worthy Procureur is not quite consistent, for he strives to carry back the title to the First NAPOLEON, in place of resting it on the present inheritor of his name and fortunes. According to his theory, the title of the EMPEROR would be far preferable if it rested solely on his own acts than on those of the founder of his family. But it is of the departed that he speaks in the following terms :—" What work is greater in its results, more marvellous and more worthy of a crown, than the work of NAPO LEON? What founderof a new dynasty like,this man, who held, like CA3SAIt, the sword and the pen ; who clmmanded like ALEXANDER, who governed like the Antonines ! What glory, what prestige, surrounds this name, so often repeated in the homes of the people and the palaces of kings? By what sign are we to recognise a c_nisecration by PROVIDENCE if we deny it to this legislator, this captain, this statesman, who has given to France laws which all nations envy, and a glory which will remain immortal, and who only sinned against humani4 by the excns of his genius ?" This certainly seems extravagant enough, but Mr. VAISSE goes farther. It would, be casting an imp - atation on PROVIDENCE, or rather " bias plaemy against its laws," not to have desired for this founder that he might have descendants, and enjoy, like all the great men, who preceded him, the supreme glory of transmitting the Empire to the heirs of his name." What would be the senti ment of posterity "if PROVIDENCE, belying itself, had not accordedsuccessors to this new CHARLEMAGNE ?" And this, with a variety of similar inflated (Ado giums, is delivered in a court of justice, and received with rapturous and enthusiastic applause, each Judge striving who should most loudly express his individual concurrence with the bombastic and inappropriate rhapsody. This may bring theta the rewards they aspire to, but will .not add to the dignity of their position or increase the confidence felt in their disinterest edness and impartiality. The subject is, however, better than that oz which the Moniteur so re cently interested itself ; it will only excite con tempt, and wet fierce and burning indignation. Yetards.y the Daput-.tion from the Metropoli tan 110-Ard waited, according to appointment, on the Chief Commissioner of Works. To the report of the interview, which will be found I elsewhe re , we beg to call attention. The pro ceedings, it will be seen, were sufficiently re markable, at all events in this country, where members cf the Government are generally found at such interviews in a deprecatory attitude. The Board were taken to task for their !aches by the Minister, and made to appear in any thing hut a favou ra bl e light. They w ere b oth schooled and rebuked, and stood self cor rected. We do not remember any occasion app I in which a Governmental official eared to 1 I more and representatives of the people to less ad vantage. The Minister had just cause for cow. 1 plaint, and used, without abusing, his opportuaity. He would have failed in his duty if he had said less—he could not have been blamed if h e h ad said more. Fully aware of the pugnacious spi r i t manifested towards him in his official capacity b y the Board, no tracts of animosity are observable in his remarks. lie was firm, courteous, and dig. , nified. The shuffling imbecility of the Board met its severest rebuke in the simple statement, elicited and otherwise, of the facts ; and never were facts more condemnatory of those they told against. They have but to be repeated to de monstrate the utter incapacity for any useful pur pose of the Metropolitan Board. The ratepayers have but to master them to be thoroughly ashamed of their representatives. At the outset Sir BENJAMIN EAU had to re mind them he had responsibilities as well as the Board, leaving them to infer he was not likely to overlook them, or in any way to shirk the obli gations they entailed. Having called for and received a thorough exposition of the plan sub mitted for his approval, he proceeded to remind them that two plans had been already rejected, and very pertinently demanded why a plan which they had in the first instance partially condemned, and in the second wholly, was now brought be fore him ? Adding, "on the latter occasion, when the chairman gave the casting vote, he (Sir B. HALL) recollected reading that one of the mem bers exclaimed, in reference to that vote, You have saved the Board.' " Of course, Mr. TEWAITES made the best reply in his power, but far from a satisfactory answer, on which the Chief Commissioner somewhat ironically " supposed the plan B had been submitted to him under the im pression that it complied with the provisions of the act," and promised his best and most speedy atten tion to the whole subject. The contrast was further marked, and the culpability of the Beard made still more glaring, when the plan for the Covent-garden improvements was next handed in. Sir BENJAMIN had " very serious complaints" to make against the Metropolitan Board. He had called their attention to the subject so far back as the 16th July, recommending the Board to execute the works, but, if unwilling to do so, undertaking to see to their being exe cuted himself. From that time to this the only reply he had received was a letter of thanks for the plans ! and he was now called on to decide at once, so that the Parliamentary notice might appear on the 15th. Even Mr. ThWAITES as good as admitted in reply, "It was really too bad." This, however, was not all Sir BENJAMIN had to prefer against the Board. To their inquiry in March last as to what funds there were at disposal for Southwark improvements, he had replied—two surds of 30,0001., which, with interest, amounted to 83,0001., raised under two acts of Parliament, for making a continuous line of street between Southwark and Westminster-bridge, within a given period, on the expiration of which the money, if unapplied, was to be repaid to the Consolidated Fund. The Board bad contented themselves with a few tardy inquiries until to-day, when he was told a plan would be laid before him involving an outlay of 300,000/. of public money, leaving him five days only (out of eight months) to decide upon it. "It was really too bad." Not a doubt of it ; so bad that the sacrifice of convenience and oversight of other business the Chief Commis sioner is prepared to make will tell as much to his credit as the idleness and shiftiness of the Board which have called for it infallibly will be to their disgrace. This may be poor consolation to the putative father of the delinquents in their official capacity, but it is the best we have at present to offer—" Your own son, Mr. 0/IIIMILEWIT What is the average rate of vehicular progress 'over Loudon-bridge ? We should excessively like to know, not only as matter of present interest, but also for our guidance in the future. Is there nobody prepared to solve the problem ? The length of the bridge may easily be ascertained, and for the rest a couple of shillings and a spice of arithmetic will suffice. To give the reader some idea of the state of things, we may inform him, on demanding of a timekeeper who was pacing his beat the other day, evidently in a state of high nervous excitement, when the next omni bus would start? "HEAVEN only knows, sir," was his reply ; adding, " It's long past due, and ought to have started again by this time." "How is that ?" we inquired. " London-bridge, sir. It took the last 'bus twenty minutes to come across. That's the reason, I suppose." An eager glance, and wit: a long sigh of relief he stepped for ward, exclaiming, "There he is !"—and up came the dilatory vehicle, to be despatched back again with hardly a minute's interval of -rest for the smoking horses. On further inquiry we ascer tained this was by no means an isolated case, such delay being far from uncommon, with aPPa:cently uo prospect of amendment. On the P:entrary, it would appear, matters are getting d a i ly worse, and the public will have no grea t `v cause for sur prise if some fine morni, they find a dead lock of the preceding evening in a state of inex tricable entanglerr .ien t. In Chealniale the rate of progress is something between, ten yards a minute and a mile an hour, mati ng no allowance for dead locks. In Chan cOry-lane the " Now then, young man, move on, h—a !" is of repeated occurrence, often in tones of sufficient aggravation to curdle a dead man's marrow. One is daily tempted to speculate on the remarkable sights which would be presented in the excavation of London if the fate of Pom peii and Herculaneum were to overtake the mo d3rn Babylon. Were it a subject to wager on, we would go for the discovery of—we won't say how many—dead locks. THE SUN, LON DON, T URSDA. EVENING, NOVEMBER, 6, 1856 verted. The race of officials is used up. We ►ant unhackneyed men, to whom the word duty has some significance, men who are neither above nor below being useful servants of the public. We refer our readers to the address of Mr. EDWIN JAMES, to the electors of Hull. We are aware of the objections of Many constituencies to be represented by lawyers, but the untiring indus try with which their late Member, Mr. WATSON, discharged the duties of a representative for the independent borough of Hull, is well calculated to remove such objection. Mr. EDwrN JAMES' high position at the bar, the great expe rience he has had in every variety of mercantile cases, and his able and ready power of speaking, render him a most fit man to be intrusted with the important commercial interests of such a borough as that of Kingston-upon-Hull. We cor dially wish him success as a straightforward and true-hearted Libe ral. THE NEW LORD CHIEF JUSTICE. As yet we believe no successor has actually been appointed to the late Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. A number of rumours are in circulation, as is generally the case, and, amongst others, the names of Sir Frederic Thesigei, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, and Mr. Jus tice Erle are mentioned. We believe we can state, without fear of contradiction, that the learned Attorney-General has positively de clined to accept the Chief Justiceship, and that it will be filled by Mr. Justice Erle, one of the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench. The vacancy so occasioned will be filled up by the translation of Mr. Justice Cresswell from the Common Pleas to the Queen's Bench, and that in all probability Mr. Hugh Rill, Q.C.„ or Mr. Warren, Q.C., M.P., will be elevated to the Bench to fill the vacancy occasioned by the translation of Mr. Justice Cress well. It was, however, very generally reported late this afternoon in Westminster Hall that the At torney-General had reconsidered the matter, and had decided on accepting the appointment. Of course no official publication of the appointment will take place till after the funeral of the late Lord Chief Justice. THE NEW BARON OF THE EXCHEQUER. This morning Mr. Watson, the new Baron of the Exchequer, was sworn in before the Lord Chancellor. To-morrow the learned gentleman will also be sworn in before Lord Campbell, the Lord Chief Justice, and afterwards take his seat in the Court of Exchequer. The Admiralty have accepted the ship Candahar for the conveyance of stores to Honduras. The Bishop of Hereford has presented, free of all cost, eight acres of land to the city of Hereford for a cemetery. Her Majesty's servant who was injured by the late col lision on the North-Western Railway is going on favouiably. Mr. Bruges Fry, coroner for North Somerset, has been appointed Registrar of the Axbridge County Court, which appointment has been approved by the Lord Chancellor. The Huddersfield Examiner says Mr. Cobden will not come forward again as a candidate for the seat of the West Riding. The hon. gentleman will look to a smaller constituency to give him a seat. Warner the police-constable, and Moore, the two per sons stabbed by the f t;erman soldier in Spitalfields on Sunday night, are progressing favourably. Glasgow u niversity was publicly opened on Mond a y woe Rev. Pri n cipal M ac f at l an . last r i:n b e Y winter session of the University of Edinburgh was on Monday evening opened by an address from Dr. Robertson. The large hall was crowded, chiefly by students come to attend the university. The partial stoppage of Fox, Henderson, and Co., Birmingham, and, consequent upon it, a foundry near Wordsley, has created considerable anxiety in the dis tricts of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire. Lord Talbot de Malabide has written to the Times to correct an error in its report of the Dublin Crimean Banquet. The toast that the noble lord proposed was " The memory of the fallen who lie like warriors taking their rest, .with their martial cloaks around them,' " and not "The health of those who lie in death with their =real el mks around them." Yesterday her Majesty's Colonial Land and Emigra tion (Commissioners gave notice, in the underwriters'. room at Lloyd's, that a vessel was required to carry 350 male emigrants ani a large party of women to Halifax, in Nova Scotia. The Maitland, from Sydney, has arrived in the Chan nel, but her dates lave been anticipated. She brings no gold, but there are about 1,100 casks of tallow en board, and it is stated tha: the Australian shipments have re commenced vigorotsly. The gross pecuniary loss by the wreck of the Tay steamer in the Mexican Gulf, including the value of the ship, and the plate and furniture belonging to her, of the cargo, and the property of the officers, crew, and passengers, which were sunk in the Gulf, is estimated at 100,000/. Admiral 'Virgin, late Swedish and Norwegian Minis ter at this Court, who e)mmanded the Swedish frigate in her three years scientific voyage round the world (1851-1853), and who was lately charged with a special mission to the Emperor of the French, is appointed Swedish Envoy to the Court of Denmark, vice B iron Lagerheim, the new Minister for the Foreign Depart. went at Stockholm.

Law AMENDMENT SOOIETL—The first general meeting of the fourteenth session of this society was held on Monday evening last at the society's rooms, in Waterloo. place, Pall-Mall.

AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The perennial Jullien—Jullien of the hyacin thine curls and the ambrosial moustache—the Great Monsieur Jullien, he of the immaculate kids and the snowdrift neckerchief, wielder of the magical musical baton, and, beyond all manner of doubt, as such, to the million what M. Costa is to the fasti dious few, facile princeps among the Conductors of the Modern Orchestra—began last evening, in her Majesty's Theatre, his annual series of Promenade Concerts, feasts of music procurable by any one uho lists for—a shilling ! Mr. Lumley's magnifi cent hall of melody—the finest musical arena per haps in the world —was selected this year as the scene of M. Jullien's triumphs for two or three very cogent and very obvious reasons. It was selected—because opportunely vacant—be cause Oid Drury happens to be the home almost simultaneously of Italian Opera, Comedy, Tragedy, Farce, and very soon, no doubt, also of Pantomime—because Covent-garden still stands a charred and blackened wreck of its former splendour—because—but enough ! M. Jullien holds his revels this year in her Majesty's Theatre, and a better, grander, nobler region for those revels could not possibly have been selected. Under his auspices the interior of the building has undergone a series of remarkable trans formations. The amber-coloured box-curtains are replaced at last by bran-new draperies of a brilliant crimson ! Above the pit boxes, and immediately in front of the dress circle, there has been raised an elegant and commodious balcony, capable of afford ing great additional accommodation. Around the limits of the pit there is room for the circulation, or, rather, in such a crush as that of last night, we should rather say for the hustling, of the Promena ders. As for the immense Orchestra and Choruses —they occupy a huge elevated and graduated plat form, erected partially on the place of the stage and partially on that of the pit-stalls. The familiar proscenium giving place to a gracefully arched trellis-work, festooned and garlanded with artificial flowers, like the entrance to another garden of Baccaccio. As a matter of course the house was crowded, as thephrase is, to suffocation, andequally as a matter of course every successive performance was greeted with enthusiasm. Here is the first division of the programme : Overture—" Oberon" Weber. Quadrille—" The Promenade" Engelke. Symphony—The Adagio from the "Italian Symphony," " Pilgrim's March" Mendelssohn. Scena—" Ah, mon fils" (Le Prophete) Fantasia—" Viola d'Amore" Schreurs. Polka—" The Flirtation Polka" . _ Aria—" Come per me" (La Sonnambula)..... Beßini: Quadrille - •" The English" No.l. Convivial.

Vl,lse —From Donizetti's Opera " Lucrezta Borgia" Solo—Violoncello (M. Demunck) Servais . Galop—" The Zonaves " Jullien: Miss Catherine Hayes was the glory and triumph of the whole entertainment. Her reception by the vast concourse assembled last night iu her Majesty's Theatre was a fitting climax to her unexampled series of successes in Europe, Asia, America, Cali fornia, and Australia. The beautiful young Irish songstress has returned from her victorious tour of the world, if possible, in better voice, certainly with a more astonishing command of its wonderful capabilities than when she last sang to the de lighted ears of the admiring Londoners. It were difficult to say in which instance her vocal triumphs of last evening appeared the most remarkable. An exquisite tenderness and pathos characterised her scena from the " Prophete" of Meyarbeer. Ah ! mon fils sois beni, ta pauvrc mare, Te fut plus (Mere quo ta Bertha, que ton amour. Ah, mon fils to viens, helas I de Bonner pour to mere Plus que la vie en donuant ton bouheur. Ah ! mon fils, quo vers le ciel s'eleve ma priere, Et sois b6ni dans le Seigneur, mon fils Jean, ah ! sois beni. An astonishingly florid and capricious grace gave a charm to the famous aria from the Sonnambicla of Bellini Come per me gereno, Oggi rinacque it di ! Come it terren fiori come, Fiori piu bello e amen o. Mai, di piu lieto aspetto, Natura non brillo amor, La colora amor del mio diletto. At the close of her impassioned delivery of Moore's immortal melody, " The Harp that once," a tumult of applause attested the pawer of the vocalist— applause above which rose a rapturous cry of " God bless her" from, the lips of au uninistaKeable Pat lander. In her instance encore followed encore almost to tediousness. Her incomings being the signal for fresh acclamations, and her outgoings being greeted by a literal shower of exotics. Otherwise, however, than ,in her regard, the performances were not in any degree very remark able. It is again-a matter of regret to us to note the fact that the first night of M. Jullien's Con certs was the occasion of a series of rows disgrace ful to many a vulgar gent among the snobs who incommoded the more respectable portion of ihe promenaders. Heartily do we hope that the police authorities will adopt more stringent measures, with a view to the 'suppression of these low and blackguard disturbances. Of these same miserable snob-riots M. Jullien is himself rendered, most ungratefully e d o p neusbtehe public cv e p ss pa of some f el a t u h no e ar eo p t u t butbhlaine sktitfi think, ka p ,n r di from mepsapl that e v e i f t u i El m ac . go In H ish s i deration. LORD PALMERSTON AT MANCHESTER Lord and Lady Palmerston are still sojourning at Clare mont, the seat of Sir B. Heywood. Yesterday morning th e y inspected the extensive cet 4 on mills of Sir E. Ar mitage, at. Pendleton ; and at 12 o'clock they visited the Mechanic; Institution, in David-street, where several of the directors were in attendance to receive them. Sir B. Heywood, Mr. J. Heywood, M.P., Mr Oliver Hey wood, Mr. Brotherton, M.P. Mr. J. F. Foster ( c h a i r . m an of the Salford Sessions), Mr. J. C. Harter, and many of the most eminent manufacturers of the city were also present. The distingui4ied visitors were conducted through the institution by Mr. Joseph Manchester, the chairman of the board, and appeared to derive much pleasure from the contemplation of the beautiful works of art with which the courts and gal leries are adorned. In the armoury Lord Palmerston paid - xer 24-pounder, Mr. Whitworth, the inventor, being present, and explaining the principles on which the gun is constructed. The halls and corridors of the library were thronged with spectators, by whom the Premier was cordially applauded. The noble lord and party afterwards repaired to the machine works and manufac tories of Mr. Whitworth, and spent some time in exa mining the various departments of that interesting esta blishment. They then repaired to the banking-house of Sir B. Heywood, and, after partaking of luncheon there, returned to Claremont about 4 o'clock. The programme of proceedings for to-morrow is as follows :—At 11 o'clock Lord and Lady Palmerston will visit the Royal Museum and Library at Pee!-park, Salford. They will be received by the Mayor and muni cipal authorities, by whom they will be conducted through the picture gallery and library to the reading room, where a congratulatory address on behalf of the borough will be presented. The institution which is to be the scene of this courteous ceremony is one of the most prosperous of the kind in England. It was pur chased by the corpurationof Salford in 1849, for 13,0001., and is supported by a boroukh rate of Ad. in the pound. The library comprises 18,500 volumes, 400 of which are in daily use at the institution, while 250 are lent out gratuitously to the public. The museum has been visited during the seven years that it has been open by as many as 2,165,359 persons, being an average of about 3,090 daily. In the 10 months of the present year the num ber of visitors has been upwards of 580,000. The cor poration of Salford is a generous benefactor of the insti tetion, having alroaciy made grants to it to the amount. of 5,0001. From the Musetttn the Premier will proceed to the Town-hall, where at 12 o'clock he will receive the addresses of the Town Council, the Chamber of Cone coerce, and the Commercial Association. At 8 o'clock in the evening there will be a meeting of the members of the Mechanics' Institution at the Free Trade Hall, and it is expected that the noble Lord will attend and deliver an address. It is probable that his Lordship will remain in Man cheiter till Saturday. Complaints are made of the non -arrival of a portion of the Mexican mails by the steamer Parana. It is alleged that in the present• ieetanee the failure has arisen throttaih neglect. LATEST NE WS. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " A private letter from Berlin says that Prus sia, Russia, and France are agreed on requiring the evacuation of the Principalities by the Aus trians, and of the Black Sea by the English squadron. "It has been rumoured for some days back that the French fleet was about to proceed to the Black Sea. This, I believe, is not certain ; the feet may, perhaps, leave Toulon, but it is not probable it will go so far." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. " The Princess Mathilde," says a Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels, "is the only mem ber of the inperial family now at Compiegne. Prince Napoleon, on his return from Germany, will, it is said, again set out on an excursion to Egypt and Syria. Prince Pierre Bonaparte, who left Calvi, his usual place of residence, to visit Paris, is now living at Auteuil, and will return to Corsica in a moith." A decree in-the Moniteur makes one promotion to the rank of officer and four nominations to that of knight in the Legion of Honour among the medical staff of the navy. A Paris letter, in the Courrier de Marseilles, states that a marriage is talked of as probable be tween King. Victor Emmanuel and the Grand Duchess Maria, widow of the Duke de Leuchten berg, now in her 26th year. This Princess is at present at Nicn with the Empress Dowager of Russia. Count de Persigny, French Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, has just arrived in Paris.

An expression occurring in the following letter from the Emperor Alexander to General Luders has excited some remark on the part of the conti nental press Taking into consideration the indispensable ne cessity you are under of seeking a cure of thegrave malady which has affected you for many years, I have consented to accord you a year's leave of ab sence, to enable you to repair abroad, conserving to you your present emoluments. Acceding, fur ther, to your second request, I have relievtd you from the duties of Commander-in-Chief cf the Second Army, retaining to you, however, the dig nity of my Adjutant-Gmeral. Appreciating your efficient services, I hope that if circumstances give me occasion to recall you to employment before the expiration of the period named, you will coma to resume your duties with the same zeal and alacrity which have ever signalised your military career.—l am always your affectionate, ALEXANDER PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 2d, in the Debats, s ays :—" It is significant, now that political affairs appear about to enter on a new phase, that iu our official circles the services which the French Cabi net has rendered to Prussia. are spoken of with special predilection. It is remarked that it is to France that Prussia is indebted for having been invited to the conferences at Paris, and that France took the first and most decisive step in favour of Prussia in the affair of Neuchatel. It is further remarked that Prussia is in perfect accord with France and Russia in all the important questions which now agitate Europe. We learn that our Government has for some time been endeavour ing to obtain a treaty of commerce with Russia, such as is called for in the petitions of the provincial Diets. Russia, it is said, has shown herself sufficiently disposed to accede in this respect to the wishes of Prussia, and the approaching opening of negotiations on the communications to be established be tween Prussian and Russian railways may be considered as a first step towards establishing closer commercial relations between the two States." NEUCHATEL. The declaration of the committee of the Frank fort Diet appointed to consider the affair of Neuchatel amounts to this :—Tho committee re commends the Diet to recognise the right to the principality as conferred on the King of Prussia by the treaties of 1845 and the protocol of London in 1852. After this recognition by the Diet there will still remain to be determined the modifications which that right has undergone since 1815, in con sequence of the successive concessions of the Prus sian Government, particularly in 1830 and 1848. This can only, it declares, be the work of a Congress. MALTA. We have advices from Malta to the 31st of Oct. Admiral Dundas's squadron was still in port. According to the Smyrna Impartial, the shock of the earthquake so generally felt at and to the eastward of Malta on the morning of the 12th of October, seems to have been more violent at Candia than at any other place ; upwards of 500 persons have been buried in thi ruins, principally in the villages. In the island of Rhodes mountains have fallen down into the plains beneath, entire villages de stroyed, and not a houso in town has escaped damage. The loss of life is said to amount to some 100 souls. On the Islands of Halki, Cassos, and Searpento the damage was very considerable, and the vic tims amount to 150. Marmarizzo, Daliani, and neighbouring villages have likewise suffered ; but at Aidin (where its duration was 50 seconds), and at Myteleno the damage was trifling, while at Beyrout the shock was very slight. Letter 3 from Trebizond do not make mention of it all. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The South Ameriean Steam Navigation Com pany's vessel Imperatriz, Capt. Cox, has arrived with advices from the Cape to October 3, after a remarkably quick passage of 32 days. The advices by this arrival are of a pacific nature. The screw steamer Cleopatra, with troops, had arrived out. The Cape Town Mail states : " The accounts from the frontier are not of a nature to break the feeling of security which seems everywhere to gain ground. One good result following on the heels of this late panic is the preparation for war in which the whole frontier line is placed. Queenstown is to be gar risoned by the 35th Regiment, recently arrived from the Mauritius. The 80th Regiment are on their way to Fort Beaufort, while the various posts have been strengthened so as to check any inroad of the Kafirs, from whatever quarter they may choose to come. Already the poorer class of tradesmen have been sufferers by the temporary rise of provisions, the meal per maid, in Some instances, receiving an additional value of 103. The -head of ap proaching scarcity induced many to lay in a larger stock than their means rendered convenient, and the conse. quenco is that, let their resources eventua , e as they may, many a poor Irian has already been victimised. It h as been surmised that the potato crop is likely to prove a failure this year. Happily it has never formed the chi,-4 or even a large article of food in this colony, though the soil and climate are by no means unfavourable to its growth." The Imperatriz callA at St. Vincent's on Oct. 21, ma which day the Royal Mail s t eamer Tamar sa il e d with the English mails for the Brazils. The following vessels of war were at the Cape on the 3d of October :—Her Majesty's ships Seringa patam, Castor, Dart, Geyser, s;v:1 The screw steamer Victor Emmanuel, from Lon don, with engines broken down ; the Royal Mail steamer England, short o f coals and provisions ; the screw steamer Cleopatra, from Liverpool ; the Leander, from Madras for Liverpool ; the Ellen Rawson, from London, and the John Williams were also at the Cape. The following were in Algoa Bay :—The Star of Empire, repairin g ; the. Amigos, under arrest ; the Anne Jane, the J. W. Sears, the Benclough, t h e Imogen, the B roug h am, the Governess, and the Alicia, for London ; the Emperor and the Abbot Daylesford, for Demerara ; and th e Jean M'Farl an e. The Lnperatriz spoke the following vessels :—On the 4th of October, in lat. 29 S., long 12 E., the Lawrence, from Singapore for Liverpool, and the screw steamer Bbiana, from the Cape of Gcod Hope for Liverpool ; on the 25th, in lat. 21 N., long. 24 W., the Donald M'Kay, from Liverpool for Melbourne, and the Turon, bound south ; and on the 27th, in lat. 27 N., long. 23 W,, the France 0 Picconi. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 5. The Canadian mail-steamer Anglc-Saxon hos arrived, with advices from Quebec to the 25th ult. Telegraphic advices from New Orleans of Oct. 22 furnish further particulars of the engagements between Walker and the allies. The accounts, which are as follows, are ex parte : Walker, finding ie enemy advancing on MO' saya, withdrew his small force, when the enemy, 4,000 strong, occupied the place. Walker then left a small force at Gran , :da, and advanced !to wards Massaya with 1,000 men, and, meeting the enemy on the 12th inst. near the city, repulsed them, driving them back to Massaya, where 11 , battle was fought, lasting until midnight. At day' break a courier arrived from Granada, stating that 1,400 Guatemalans and natives were besieging that place. Walker, on receiving this information, mediately marched to the relief of Granada, and arrived on the heights surrounding the city on the morning of the 13th, at 10 o'clock, and, findin g the city blockaded by the whole force of the enemy, he charged upon theni and drove them from their posts, capturing their commanders and all their field pieces, and routing them from the city With great slaughter. The total loss of the enemy wa g 1,100; Walker's loss was 16 killed and 30 wounded; Walker would immediately march or, Massaya an d Leon. His troops were in the highest spiritF. The citizens of Granada held the Governmen t buildings 22 hours against the force of the enact'', and were vigorously defending the place whe n General Walker arrived. Messrs. Lawless, Wheeler , and Ferguson, American citizens, who have had no connection with Nicaraguan affairs, were ma' dered by the natives. A telegraphic despatch from New York of th e , 22d ult. states that the Stat e Fill more El e ctoral College had met, and repudiated fusion with any other party, urging the American p ar ty t o labour unceasingly for their candidates. From Harms' burg the returns front all the counties, except and another, show a Democratic majority of 2, 87 ,7. The New York commercial accounts report tu o ii stock market active. There was a good supPlY money ; call loans taken freely at 7 per eent., an short first-class paper at 8 to 9 per cent. sterling' Exchange was inactive.

THE COMPLICATED STATE OF AFFAIRS' (Prone the Constitutionnel.) et The change of ministry which has token place Constantinople is interpreted by some journals as - check experienced by ou r p o li c y, an d as d e stined t a t aggravate the diffic u lti es w hi c h h ave ar i sen in that quarter.

Art. 20 of the treaty for: many attributes to Russia the possession of Bolfradtie t the new settlement of the fronti ers . (" The now frontier will be traced from th e Bl ac k S ea . . . will page g to the south of Bolgrad," &c., &c.) The text an d t spirit of the treaty appear clear. England and Austria pretend nevertheless that in the idea of the Plenip ote t; tiaries, it was question not of Bolgrad, a town of s°ffl e importance, but of a simple hamlet likewise which ca lls 7: Bolgrad. This is the difficulty exists, and w hi c h Buss"' eonsents to submit, along with others of less importan e o to the Congress, as was agreed upon ; she will defer b‘. its decision on every point.
