MURDER AND SIIICIDE.—A farmer named Lescot, of Crecy-sur-Serre (Aisne), banged himself two days ago in a barn on his farm, and when cut down by the gend armes, who had been summoned by the neighbours, was found to be quite dead. The gendarmes, whilst clearing away some trusses of straw in the barn, were horrified on discovering a corpse, which was recognised as the wife of the deceased. A fearful wound, which exposed the brain, proved that the woman had been murdered, and from the bad feeling which had existed between the couple, left no doubt that she had been murdered by her husband, who had then put an end to his own existence in a fit of remorse or despair.

FREE TRADE CONGRESS AT BRUSSELS AND THE .iVA NCHESTER CHAMBER OF COM MERCE. • The deputy sent to represent the Manchester Chamber of Commerce at the Free Trade Congress recently held in Brussels made his report to the board of directors on Thursday last, being the first meeting of that body held since his return from the continent. He represents the spirit which animated the proceedings to have been admirable, and nothing eeems want ing to a successful diffusion of the principles of sound political economy throughout Europe if the resolutions adopted at the close of the Congress be enforced by an energy which shall not fail, a determined persistence in the dissemination!of them, and a resolute resistance of the obstacles with which they will have to combat. The term assigned for the duration of the Congress was found to be too short to admit of a full development of the benefits which would attend a universal adoption of free trade ; but the speeches made by gentlemen from various countries showed that the principle had taken root extensively and only needed cultivatioh. The written communications which bad been made to the Congress were so numerous that it was impossible to read them in detail, and it was therefore resolved that a history of the proceedings of the Congress should be forthwith prepared, and should contain these documents. Among them an address from the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, of which the following is a copy : " To TIIE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF TIIE INTERNATIONAL CON GRESS FOR, PROMOTING TIIE REFORM OF CUSTOMS' DUTIES, NOW • SITTING AT BIT:BULB. • " Gentlemen,--It will not be difficult for this grave assembly to appreciate the motives which have induced the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester to appear by a depttation, in order to offer, on this interest ing occasion, its sincere congratulations to the Free Trade Association of Belgium, on the step which it ha s taken - in convening this important Congress, and to ex; press its deep gratitude for being permitted to take an hum ble part in its proceedings. No similar institution can know more intimately than this Chamber the nature and im portance of the work upon which the Free Trade Associa tion of Belgium has resolved to enter; none more clearly foresee the difficulties by which its progress will be impeded for a time—none can give more secure assur ances of ultimate success if present resolves be carried out with firmness, assiduity, and perseverance. From 1820, the year of its institution, the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester never ceased to avail itself of every opportunity of protesting to the Government and Legislature of Great Britain against the impolicy and in justice of imposing heavy duties upon the importation of food, but its remonstrances were not regarded, its argu ments fell upon deaf ears, its motives were even vilified. Firm in the conviction of the truth of the principles which it had deliberately espoused, the chamber continued to re peat its demand for the limited application of them which at that time it advocated, untilout of thediscnssions which took place among its own members in Dec.,1831, arose that great and beneficent confederation which, diffusing sound and enlarged principles of political economy among the masses of the British people, spread conviction on every side, and finally brought a power to bear on the Govern ment and Parliament which could no longer be safely re sisted. It is to be feared that though the proceedings of the League cannot, if studied; fail to render the work more easy to all who wish to follow its example, the Belgian Free Trade Association will yet, even at this day, with the re sult of 10 years' British experience before them, have the same obstacles to overcome, and will consequently stand in need of the same energy and the same resolute persever ance which carried our great free-trade organisation to its triumphs. As it was in Great Britain before hercommercial emancipation, so is protection now in every country in which it is dominant —unreasoning impolitic, and unjust. Protection isunreasoning, because, seeking selfish and indi vidual e n d s a l one , it w ill tot see the obvious truth that to foster any industry, whether important or insignificant, by taxation to such an extent as to prevent importation, is pro tanto to raise a fictitious price upon the whole people of the country for the mere purpose of enrich ing a few individuals. It is' impolitic, because, while it absorbs, e. in enhanced prices, a large portion of the means of the people which would otherwise be applicable to the purchase of other things which would minister to their comforts and enjoyments, it diminishes every incentive to reduce the cost of production, and fixes a permanent high price upon the consumer ; it is unjust, because, by the ex ertions of a despotic power, it forbids the mass of the peo ple from expending the earnings of their labour in a man ner most advantageous to themselves, These are incon trovertible primary truths, which the Free Trade Associa tion of Belgium will have to teach and fix upon the minds of the intelligent people of Belgium. Great Britain has learnt them, adopted them, and having tested their value will maintain them. RegardlesSof the unwise suspicions with which her policy is regarded and the obstinacy with which it has hitherto been resisted by other Governments, she holds on resolutely by the system which she finds to be so advantageous to her own people. She heeds not the blindness of others ; she is determined to provide untaxed food and untaxed raw materials for the industry of her artisans. Not entertaining any jealousies, she exposes the labour of her people to a healthy competition, and admits from all countries alike cotton, woollen, and plain linen manufactures without duty, and only retains a dimi nish(' I duty on silk manufactures until die revenue will permit the abolition of it. Her rule is to purchase that which she wants in the markets in which she can pro cure it at the cheapest cost, and to sell that which she has to dispose of wherever she can obtain the best price. She ig nores as a phantom that which statesmen call reciprocity; she:repudiates differential duties of every kind; she has abandoned a long-cherished error in abrogating her naviga tion laws ; and, irrespective of other tariffs, opens her ports to all the world. Aud what have been the consequences ? The following table, compiled from Parliamentary papers, supplies the answer; it indicates the average declared value of the exports of British produce and manufactures only for'each four years therein specified, and, consequently, represents that which, after supplying her own require ments, Great Britain has actually distributed through the markets of the world : EXPORTS OF BRITISH PRODUOE AND MANUFACTURES Spirit of the Public Journals. (From the Times.) The proverbial weakness of example to teach tbat which peop'e will not learn for themselves receives daily illustration in the annals of commerce. Here we see coning together, like a weddi ng an d a funeral at a church gate, the beginning and the end of imprudence — the seed time and the harvest of folly. At the very mo ment that we hear a French company has obtained from the Russian Government railway concessions to the extent of 2,500 miles, and involving an expenditure of nearly 40,000,000/., one of our own most able, most enterprising, and, as was till lately thought, most suc cessful firms in this branch of speculation, proclaims it self unable to meet its engagements. Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., the contractors for the Exhibition in Hyde Park, the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, and other splendid undertakings at home and abroad, have had to appeal to the forbearance of their creditors. Their difficulties have been known for some time ; but our readers are aware that these cilumns are about the last place where they are likely %see mere rumours of privata--disaster. In the present instance there was more than usual motive for tenderne-s on this point, for there is not a private firm in the kingdom that English men have so muchVassociated with the industrial and mechanical triumphs of their c9untry. No doubt, this is the too common fate of inventors and discoverers —of the pioneers of enterprise and the vankuard of material progress. Their work is too closely allied to genius not to share its infirmities and mishap. Yet it does seem bard—at least one cannot but feel it—that the contrivers and builders of fabrics which add so much to the enjoy- ment and reputation of their country should suffer the fate of the common tradesman who has neglected his ac counts, and miscalculated or squandered his profits. Yet so it must lys, and such is thelaw of Providence. There are moral considerations which are euperior to the claims of the most transcendant genius ; and everybody, from the Emperor on his throne to the humblest huekster, from the inspired poet to the dullest artisan, must submit to "count the " cost," and make certain prudential calculations, with out which everything he feels dear may be torn from his grasp, his happiness marred, and his honour dragged in the dust. It is our especial business to urge these ne cessary calculations against a host of subtle influences, eloquent tempters, and contagions examples. Ofte❑ would it havebeen more agreeable to go with the stream or at least to say nothing when our warnings were not likely to be heeded. But we have persevered to warn all our eountrymen,—too many of that class who are said soon to be parted from their money,—and we can permit neither misplaced delicacy nor any personal regards to stay our comments upon commercial imprudences when they can be useful. The " suspension" which we have mentioned is said to have arisen principally, or immediately, from a loss of 70,0001. by the Danish Railway. We believe, how ever, that the same firm is engaged on the new water works at Berlin, and on the, Napoleon Docks—an im mense merchandise station at Paris. For anything we know, the two last undertakings may beprofitable. We must say, however, that in the fact of a purely English firm undertaking 'a foreign railway there is much to re mind one of the South American mining companies, and other distant enterprises, on which so many hard earned British millions have been 'thrown away. A British contractor must bid low to beat one on the spot. Though ever so superior in skill and experience, he must still be under great disadvantages from want of local knowledge and connexion. He must bid, and afterwards act, very much in the dark. He must be more liable to fraud or neglect at a distance than with the opportunity of constant inspection. All this, and much more, is. so obvious that most people will think it rests with the con tractor to show he can execute such a work in a foreign country. We shall perhaps be thought to offend against the omnipotence of British enterprise, but there is a sad amount of experience on our side. England can still supply all the component parts of the undertaking, —the personal skill, the manual labour, the rails, engines, and other material. The capital, too, will, under any circum stances, be largely contributed by this country ; and it cannot be said that a foreign railway is generally a worse investment than a British one. A contract, however, for the execution of a foreign railway, or the acceptance of a concession, must rely on the soundness of all the calculations on which the estimate is made ; and, so far, it places the contractor, or the company, at the mercy of those who have laid out the line, and their numerous unknown agents in that work. Such is the nature of the operation which has just now taken place between the Russian Government and a French company to an enormous amount. That company—it is not yet known whether it is the Credit Mobilier or a rival—undertakes to carry a system of railway right through Russia at con siderably less than 15,5001. a-mile. It may find the land cheap enough ;' it may not have to construct many bridge., or other works in masonry ; but it will find ser vile labour dear labour; ID will null dl4tauce enay ; and it will find Russian institutions rather in its way. No doubt it expects much of its money from England. No doubt, too, it will obtain a good deal. But if the Bri tish purchasers of the shares in this gigantic undertaking lose all their money it will not be for want of a caution on our part. They must judge for themselves, as no doubt they will. Considering that there is no difficulty just now in getting a good interest for money at home, in the safest possible investments, the British capitalist—perhaps we ;should say the British speculator—has no lack of golden opportunities of a more poetical kind. He can, thanks to the übiquitous agency of the Credit Mobilier, sink his money upon railways in the well governed and well-settled kingdom of Spain. He can, if he likes, present th e S u l tan o f T ur k ey w ith Aladdin's lamp by contributing to establish a Na tional Bank at Constantinople. For the permission to do this the Sultan asks no more than a loan of 8,000,0001. Such, however, are that potentate's resources, such the peace and stability of his empire, and such his know ledge of railway statistics, that it is said he is about to guarantee 6 per cent. to the fortunate contributors of 6,000,0001. required by the Euphrates Railway Com pany. But these are mere trifles to what we may soon expect. Enterprise, that has had many a heavy blow and great discouragement in this country, and that is driven from one field to another like a party of thimble riggers or prize-fighters getting out of teach of the " beaks," seems to have taken up its abode, en perma nence, in the neighbouring capital. There two colossal companies are scouring Europe for money and the universe for investments. We know not on what star they calculate, or to what destiny they attach them selves, but they evidently seem to think that a fortunate audacity is the secret of success. To a universal all grasping ambition they ascribe the wealth of England, and th -y have only to follow our example and they will make Paris in its turn the commercial metropolis of the world. If they can do this with our money, if they can induce the industrious English tradesman to invest his savings in stock the fluctuations of which are entirely at the command of a snug Parisian circle, they will be certain to succeed in -establishing a drain of English money to their own hearts' great content and to the ruin of some thousand English households. We are not without our fears that they will even do as they desire. Our poor countrymen have a sad penchant for speculative investments, and do not remember how often, how uni versally, the dice are loaded iu this game. They don't know the difference between being bebind and before the ecenes. But if they do place themselves, their all, their wives and children, at the mercy of foreign specu lators, who at best don't know what they are undertak ing, and most probably wish to sell their undertakings at a premium, and shift the responsibility upon others, then they have to thank themselves. We have dis warlntinigs,nnootrtwheill it first be time lewete, with raiseouthave d e being tdh e our heeded vocde uot i. till it is too late. "development of progress," with which he started, to a flaming panegyric of the "military aspirations of the Napoleonic dynasty ;" and then puts the question, whe ther it would be more conformable to the spirit of Italy to be organised on the basis of a Unitarian Constitution, as proposed by Mazzini, or whether it would not be ad visable to have different monarchies in Italy—one of which to be ruled by a Murat, the other possibly by a Prince from the House of Savoy. From what has been stated above, the nature of the assuming answer to these qhypocritically uestions may be u essed. The writer of the manifesto, that "Italy, like a prolific mo th er , h as ex h a usted herself by her own fecundity," declares the time of real popular freed om to be irreconcileable w ith th e " a ged feebleness" Italy has arrived, at, and therefore advises the establishment of a "strong authority," on the ruins of the shattered throne of Ferdinand 11. The internal divisions and jealousies (he says) which divide the several factions of the penin. sula do not admit of any other course being adopted. There remains nothing but to organise a "strong military power," which is "necessary to restore authority and order in a country that has undergone so many political commotions." Of course, the writer is of opinion that " with a Murat, the people would greatly reinforce this desirable military element ;" and he, therefore, proceeds to recommend his French pretender to the suffrages of the Italian nation. In terms the most fulsome and flat tering, he proposes Prince Murat as a King for Italy, leaving it at last even in doubt whether poor Victor Emmanuel, who, for appearance's sake, has been named in the beginning of the programme, is to be taken into consideration at all at the final adjustment of the affairs of the peninsula. A. concluding observation of the writer of the mani festo may still farther be dwelt upon. He advises the Italian people to act at once, and to lose no time, lest the prospects of Muratism might share the fate of the prospebts of O'Donnell, who '" in spite of certain recom mendations from abroad," hesitated too long in precipi tating the Spanish Bourbons from their throne, and be came himself the victim of their hatred. This allusion to "foreign recommendations" clearly indicates the part the French Government has played iu the recent Spanish crisis. In pointing attention fo the fate of O'Donnell, the atithor of the programme gives his readers to under stand that now or never the cause of Murat must be fought, otherwise the chances of victory will pass away as irretrievably as those of the Spanish dictator, who lacked the energy for acting upon the counsels of the Tuileries. The Manifesto we have thus retraced in its principal features is an important document for arriving at a just estimate of the Neapolitan complication. It is remark able as well for the positive assertions it makes, as for the facts it passes over in silence. The air of high pro tection it assumes towards the "mercantile interests" of Great Britain, and the superciliousness with which it affecti to disregard the political interests this country has in the peninsula, are characteristics not to be over looked by Englishmen. On the other hand, the slighting tone of patronage the manifesto indulges in towards Piedmont is equally instructive. Piedmont, if we under•' stand rightly the advocate of Prince Murat, is for the nonce to act the useful part of the cat in the fable, and pull out the desirable chesnuts from the fire for the be nefit of the monkey. We think, however, there is too much political ,good sense at Turin to consent to the adoption of thislumiliating and suicidal part. In fact, no sooner 'would Piedmont have aided in establishing a French prince on the throne of the Two Sicilies than it would have cause deeply to deplore such co-operation. With a Murat at Naples, and a French army in the Papal States, Piedmont would entirely cease to be a free agent, and be hemmed in between the pressure of the French empire on the one hand, and'the influence of French power in Southern Italy on the other. What fate would befal little Piedmont, thus enclosed in the embrace of pretenders with colossal military and naval forces at their command ! The ambitious views entertained even now at the Tuileries respecting Piedmont may be judged from the counsels lately given by the Imperial press to the Conrt at Turin. Within the last few weeks several of the organs which are known to be directly inspired by the French Government openly counselled Victor Emmanuel to overthrow the constitution of his country, and at the same time asserted the necessity of re-uniting the Sar dinian province of Savoy to the French empire ! Thus will it be seen, that not only does Muratistn encroach upon the national independence of Southern Italy, but even in the north of the peninsula the dynastic influence of France endangers the European equilibrium. It is' high time the attention of the British statesmen should be directed to this point, lest our national power—which we would gladly see employed for the furtherance of Italian freedom—might be used merely to change a decrepit despotism for one more subtle, and possessing greater powers of mischief. OPPOSITION TO MINISTERS' MONEY AT CORK. A meeting of the Town Council of Cork was held on Monday, the mayor presiding. The following letter from the Crown solicitor was read : " 45, Kildare-street, Dublin, Oct. 23,1856. " Sir—l beg to intimate to you, for the information of the Town Council of the borough of Cork, that it having been made to appear to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for Ireland, that three of the half-yearly instalments for ministers' money, under the statute 17 Vic. c. 11, had become due and payable oat of the several parishes within the borough of Cork, and that no portion thereof having been raised or paid, the several sums thus become Crown debts. That his Excel lency had, in consequence, been called on to make, and had made, an order in pursuance to section 5 of the statute, that the demand should be recovered and paid over to the . Ecclesiastical Commissioners , an d I have received directions' to institute proceedings for the recovery of the instalments due, against the corporation of Cork, and shall be obliged to exhibit an information against the corporation in the first day of ensuing term unless the demand shall be com plied with in the interval. " I remain,__ Sir, your obedient servant , " WILLIAM KEMMIS, Crown Solicitor. "Alexander M'Carthy, Esq., Town Clerk of the borough of Cork. Mr. Fagan, MP., said—l think, sir, and it must be now evident to all, that the course I proposed, and which was adopted in council in regard to this question of ministers' money, was the most prudent one. This council declined to collect that tax, not because they indignantly repudiated the law, but because they had not the machinery to carry out that law. The law required us to raise this ministers money by means of a rate to be assessed or levied on the hou-es subject to it ; and to carry out that law we should have a separate valuation , of those houses. Mr. Griffiths' is the valu ation on which all our local rates are levied, but that in cluded stores and other buildings of a similar descrip tion, which are not liable to the tax, and unless there was a separate valuation the law could not be carried into practical effect. This council called on Mr. Griffiths for a second valuation. They applied to have a reviser sent down to rectify the assessment as it then stood, but he refused to do it. A memorial was sent up to the Lord Lieutenant, stating the reasons why the council could not proceed with the collection. Mr. Horsman acted a most inconsistent part in the course he adopted in mak ing one of the most able, eloquent, and effective speeches in favour of the abolition of the tax, and voting against it after—but that proved that whatever the peculiar views of Government might be on the question, they were determined to support it as it was on the statute book, for being the executive they were bound to do so Next session, however, some steps will be taken against it. In my opinion, therefore, we should appear in the Exchequer, for I think, we have an equitable defence on the grounds that I have stated. (Hear, hear.) Dr.•Linehan—And who is to pay the expense of all this ? (Oh, oh.) Yes, I say who is to pay the expense ? It was the law , of the land and we must carry it out. (Oh, oh.) If the law is defective, as Mr. Fagan says, why did he not move about it in the House of Com mons ? Why did he not look to it before, instead of en deavouring now to plunge this council into litigation ? I belong to a part of the city that does not pay any ministers' money. (Oh, ob, and laughter). Now I pro test altogether against being taxed by this litigation. Mr. Penrose—How will you carry out the law ? Dr. Linehan—We have a right to carry out the law. Now I do not want to say anything offensive to any member, but to give my opinion above board; and cer tainly I will not allow my part of the city to be taxed for your litigation. (Oh, oh.) Mr. Keller—Fie, fie, doctor. Dr. Linehan—What do you say fie for? (Laughter.) I am a loyal subject, and 1 will support the law. Mr. Keller—Surely, doctor, it is joking you are. Mr. Sheehan—He is a J.P. of the county, and wil be a deputy lieutenant one of these days. (Laughter.) Dr. Linehan—l don't want any of your joking, sir. Mr. Sheehan—We don't care what you are. Mr. Sheehan and Dr. Linehan rose to their feet and remained looking at each other for some time, while roars of laughter were heard from all sides. Mr. Sheehan—None of your humbug, now. (Con tinned laughter.) Mr. O'Neill—That is very unparliamentary. him out, doctor. (Oh, oh, hear, and confusion.) Dr. Linehan—l want to save myself from this expense, and I protest against this litigation. I know I shall lose popularity, but I do not care a fig for popularity. (Great laughter.) Mr. Sugrue said he could not sit down and silently listen to Dr. Linehan impute a dereliction of duty to Mr. Fagan, their excellent representative. There was net ono in Cork who would not say that they never had a more painstaking member than he, whose exertions were always rendered in promoting the interests of the city. Dr. Linehan should not charge him with neglect Call of - duty. Dr. LinA.ham (standing up). I deny it altogether. deny it, sir. Well, well, did yoz.l ever hear anything more preposterous. (Roars of laughter). Mr. Keller—There is no mistake but you are guilty, doctor. (Laughter .. .) Mr. Sugrue—lt is well known that Mr. Fagan used all his inventive faculties and his grea t t ability against this measure in the House of Commons; and everything that he has done deserves the assent of the corporation. (Hear, hear.) It is impossible for us to avoid going into Chancery, and unless we take measures in time, the Government will 'yend down a receiver over our tolls [and thus compel us to pay. Dr. Linehan---Levy the applotment they gave you. bir. Eagan—l beg to move the following reeolution.. ONLY. Amount of declared value on an average of four years. In the four years 1838 to 1841, before the idea of free trade was entertained by Parliament £51,583,900 In the four years 1842 to 1845, while free In th t h h eecfourloarsnt laws a y o wu e years r ys s helaoBru4sl,6dltscose cease on trade measur es were i n p rogress th roug h Parliament, but still i ncom pl e t e r have t av o . e f . n B i s n t s h , t e t h h i e s e t y fi the corn it was dec ree d by P ar li amen t th a t Feb. , 1849 I become 92,307,278 " Facts like these should be instructive to the principle on which they rest is applicablenvt e o rj2tation ; The same results would follow in all. In holding out a prac tical example to the world Great Britain desiresonlytle prosperity and progress of all ; she would rejoice in a universal increase of industry and wealth ; she points mi n t with confidence the way they may be obtained, and would exult in the blessings which would accrue therefrom to our common humanity. " The Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Man chester apologises for obtruding this feeble epitome of its principles and opinions upon the attention of this enlight ened Congress, and begs to be forgiven if, in its anxiety to enforce that which it believes to be the truth, it has ex ceeded the limits of a proper discretion. If such an error has beenTommitted the Congress will kindly ascribe it to the fervency of the wish that Belgium should advance in prosperity, happiness, and wealth ; and animated by this aspiration this chamber respectfully asks to be permitted to express a hope that the Free Trade Association of Bel gium will not be dismayed at any difficulties which it may encounter in the prosecution of the glorious work which it has undertaken ; but that by energy and perseverance it may successfully combat error . , and so lead Belgium sources of increased industry, con t en tment, and wealth. to 54,589, 025 RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

A well. dressed gentleman sauntering about with a valuable gold headed cane in his hand was stopped by a wretched- Icoking man, who dragged himself painfully along on crutches, and piteously implored charity. The gentle. man, moved to compassion, generously gave the beggar a piece of silver. " How can you be so foolish," cried a man standing by, "that fell ow i s an impostor, and no more lame than you are. Just lend me yonr cane for a minnte, and by means of a sound thrashing I will con vince you of the truth of what I say." The gentleman mechanically let the man take the cane, and the beggar, throwing down the crutches, ran off as fast as he could. The other, amidst roars of laughter from the bystanders, ran after him, menacing him with the cane ; and so they ran a considerable distance, when they turned aside into the town, and were seen no more. The gentleman waited for some time expecting to see the man return with his cane, but the'expectation was in vain; it was then clear that the whole scene had been an affair concerted between a pair of adroit rogues. The gentleman had nothing for it but to walk home, feeling very foolish at having al owed himself to be so victimised. 1 (From the Morning Advertiser. For the last few months, whenever the question of j Naples has been brought on the surface, we have not I failed to allude to the underhand activity of certain Muratist agents, who endeavour to " improve the occa• sion" for their own and their master's advantage. Our information respecting those dynastic plots wa4 of a nature to be safely relied on ; consequently our language has uniformly been that of denunciation, from which we did not even shrink when the semi-official organs of France undertook to disown the connection of Prince Murat with the dealings of a foreign faction at Naples. Today we are able to acquaint our readers that the statements we have distinctly put forward months ago are fully corroborated. We have before us a clear and precise Muratist programme, extracted from an Italian Review which is known to be in intimate relation with the Pretender Prince. Though,. of course, intended to benefit the cause of the latter, this programme, we are sure, will have a diametrically opposite effect with the immense majority of the Italians, as well as with the people of this country. It will powerfully contribute to reveal the ambitious plans of a French dynastic clique, and go far in acting as a warning to all friends of free dom of the dangers that await them if, in escaping from the Bourbonio Scylla, they fall into the Muratist Cha rybdis. It may, therefore, be interesting to give a suc cinct resume of this recent manifesto, as it is the first public acknowledgment of detigne hitherto (lily hatched in secrecy. The writer of the Manifesto commences with intro ductory remarks on the late Russian war, and the complications which have sprung up since the Conclusion of peace at Paris. In carrying out this revitw, he ar• r ives in due time at t he p osition of the T wo Sieilies, g K b i lo g ck of these inte res t s , to Naples, "lik e whose Sing be deno unces as an obstacle to t he exten sion of progress, and as an im p ediment to the develop ment of industry and commerce.

From this introduction one might be inclined to ex pect some very liberal propositions,—the more so as the writer, in the sequence of his strictures, does not, even scruple to attack Austria , and to advise the expultio a of that Power from Italy. However, the conclusions he ' arrives at are of a very different character to the seeming purport of his prefatory remarks. Re suddenly makes a bold transition from the cf mercantile interest" and the RAILWAYS IN RUSSIA. (From the Times' City Article.) Full statements from St. -Petersburg respecting the Russian railway concessions just announced are looked for with considerable anxiety. The hope is that the terms may be found inadequate to float the shares in our market, and that it will be necessary on the one hand greatly to diminish the sum demanded, and, on the other, to increase the guarantee. It may be presumed that tbe total.of nearly,4o,ooo,oooZ. sterling*contemprateit td. be spread over several long intervals, but even if 'those should extend to 10 years the drain would create a chronic pressure sufficient to produce many disagreeable consequences. Supposing only 5 per cent. caution money to be exacted on the whole amount, about 2,000,000!. would at once be drawn away to lie in the citadel of St. Petersburg and form the nucleus of a new collection of bullion to repair the exhaustion of the pre vious stock occasioned by the war. That such a condi tion even as this can have been acceded to at the present moment would appear scarcely probable ; but, after what they have witnessed, and the notification only a few days back that the Credit Mobilier, in the midst of all the mischief it has caused, has just contracted to con struct a new Spanish railway, the public would not be surprised at any results to which the competition of eager speculators might lead. Hence, although it may turn out that the engagements entered into have been of a much more guarded character than would appear from the bare announcement of the concession without the qualifications by which it may be accompanied, it is right that the vigilance of the public should meanwhile be awakened. The annexed communication on the Russian railway scheme embodies a protest against it which wiil harmo nise with the views of many prudent persons. The writer, however, greatly overrates the power of the press to prevent the public from rushing into such contracts. The only question will be what premium should the terms offered command, reckoning their value according to the present market price of Russian stock. If it ap pears that the investment will certainly pay 5 per cent., then, as Russian 5 per cent. bonds are now at about 107, it will be readily taken by all who can get it, and any expostulation would be as ineffective as an attempt to induce a merchant not to import corn at 70s. when it • is saleable in Mark-lane at 80s. All the Times can do is to urge the public, before they commit themselves to new subscriptions based upon existing quotations, to I satisfy themselves that those quotations are', legitimate, and likely in the long run to be permanent. Let them consider whether, in the event of peace being maintained, the absorption of capital in great works all over the world is not likely to present opportunities for invest ments as secure and more attractive than a RusSian guarantee of 41 or 5 per cent., and next, whether the prospect of peace is so certain that it is not necessary to allow any great margin for the opposite contingency. Let them recognise, moreover, that since in a general sense the idea of railways in Russia proving commer cially profitable is as yet nowhere entertained, the gua rantee is all they will have to rely upon ; that the pay ment of this guarantee will upon every condition as to the mode and time of construction having been ful filled to the satisfaction of the Russian Government ; and that the magnitude of the contract takes away the inducement to that liberal treatment of all open points which would be probable if the amount already subscribed were not sufficient for the entire length of railways intended, and a generons course were necessary to insure the practicability of getting the remainder. The fact that while an affair of this descrip tion is pending, every device is employed by govern ments and their agents to excite confidence and give a. fictitious value to their ensthrrsvcaritiwir-miso im portant. When a government wants advances of any kind it breathes nothing but friendly political senti ments. It is further to be remarked that one great cause of the high prices Russian stocks have of late years attained is owing to the predilection for them on the part of the capitalists of Amsterdam, and that, although this influence on a limited market has hitherto proved powerful, it might be comparatively weak after the creation of additional liabilities of 40 millions, to say nothing of direct State loans which are cur rently reported to be much needed, and which would, perhaps,'- - not be long delayed after the railway sub scription lists bad been fully filled. On the subject of the facilities these railways will afford Russia in future aggressions little need be said. It is impossible not to apprehend that, while railways in other coun tries rapidly diminish all tendency to warfare, the con trary prospect must in the case of Russia be taken into accoiipt. Happily, as respects the danger of a non-ful filmfflft of the guarantee during hostilities, such a result, although disastrous to the shareholders, would not be so to the world at large, since no State can venture on repudiation without destroying its power ; and the mo ment Russia ceases to pay her dividends she will also cease to be a cause of political disquietude to other na- dons: -- " Sir,—l write to evoke your warning voice against the drain which the great capitalists are preparing for us by an extension of the railway system in many parts of Europe. I allude more particularly to the announce. ment from St. Petersburg regarding the concessions of the new railways of Russia. A short time back it was pretended they were to be made with Russian capital. Let it be so. Use your influence to that effect ; discou rage our speculative public from swallowing the gilded bait which the millionnaire anglers of Paris and London will no doubt soon offer them. Tell them in your own way to reckon the cost—a demand for gold, straitened means, inability to promote legitimate undertakings at home, and the placing Russia in a position when we are again opposed in arms to command the one thing want• ing in the late war—the ability to move her troops with facility to distant points of her vast empire, and thus to facilitate her known aggressive policy against our Indian territories. -v- " Remind them that every shilling of English capital so expended in Russia strengthens her at our cost, while the rich bankers of St. Petersburg will ultimately be the only parties pecuniarily benefited by the speculation. "If after we have given support to the legitimate claims for home investments, where every pound fructi fies for our national advantage, we have enough and to spare, let us look to Turkey, whose advancement is our safeguard—whose fields for British enterprise are, by the unanimous voice of all who have visited that impor tant country, pronounced to be unequalled by any other in the world. _ "True, there is much to contend against at present in the religious prejudices of the people, their want of bu siness habits, and the unfortunate jealousies which divide their rulers ; but all these must give way ere long, and their natural sagacity will not be slow to discover the immense advantages which a close alliance, political and commercial, will certainly secure to them, while it will not be less beneficial to ourselves.

"We arrived yesterday from a most delightful cruise in the Black Sea. It being calm we steamed along the Circassian coast, round the whole of the Crimea, at a distance of from one to two miles from the shore, going close to, and remaining off fora few hours, Soujak, Anapa, Kertcb, Theodosia, Sebastopol, Eupatoria, Kinburn, OdeSsa, Serpents' -Island, and Sezopoli. We got a good - view of the imperial palace at Yalta, and also of that of Prince Woronzoff. At Anapa about 500 Russian troops were encamped, throw ing up fortifications to guard themselves from surprise. We observed a large amount of forage stacked, also fas eines, stores loading, and everything necessary for win-. tering and guarding against, we presume, an attack of ,the Circassians: We steamed into Sebastopol between the sunken ships; they appear to have done nothing towards raising the vessels, nor have they commenced • refortifying the town."

The Messager des Theatres gives the following account of the theatrical performance which took Pace Itotely in the presence of the court at Compiegne :—" At half past eight their Majesties entered the theatre, already occupied by the persons invited. The orchestra was reserved for superior officers, all in grand uniform. In the boxes at the sides were seated ladies in magnificent toilettes. The centre boxes were set apart for the court. The Emperor was in black, and wearing the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour • the Em press wore a white dress with a cloak of crimson velvet. Their Majesties on entering were received. with the loudest acclamations. All the seats behind and near them were filled with the Imperial house holds, the ministers and grand dignitaries of the court. As soon as their Majesties had taken their seats, the curtain rose for the representation of Quand l' Amour s'en va,' the performers being Mines. Guillemin, Saint Marc, and Bodin, with Felix and Parade. Their Majesties when the cur tain fell gave the signal for applause. The Imperial party then withdrew for half an hour to take re freshments, and on their return the curtain again rose for Le Mari de la Dame do Chosurs.' Arnal, who has joined the performers of the Vaudeville theatre, was exceedingly amusing. Mme. Guille min also, in the mother of the danseuse, was excel lent ' • and in one passage in the first act threw the whole house, commencing with their Majesties, into the greatest hilarity. The Empress, in par ticular, laughed most heartily, particularly when the mother of the danseuse exclaims, 6 Ah 1 if Napo leon had only listened to my advice!' ` You were acquainted with the Emperor?' No, but Icould have known him saw me at Berlin, when I played Eucharis in " Telemaque." He even remarked me and sent to compliment me by M. Cardet.' Their Majesties were highly pleased, and of course so were the court and the persons invited. The re presentation terminated at half-past eleven ; and when the performers were partaking of the excel lent supper provided for them, Count Bacciocchi, grand master of the ceremonies, came and compli mented them on the part of their Majesties. At half-past one in the morning a special train whirled back to Paris the amusing performers who had en joyed the satisfaction of exciting the laughter of 'Suite hine actors gdu, e uuourf Thursdays bthdateemasque 'Laof Theatre dteir, Francais will perform the so illustrious an audience.--On Thursday next, B G o T u y g am e p o na r ga se e ; u s a et n z d e, o ti nv ie att t Ilaeonsd,etohfe Toilet tes th e and 6 Michel et Chi;3tine.' " 'AYING OFF AN OLD SCORE. A strange affair is related in a journal of the Dordogne. A. young man named Timon, of Monta grier, in that department, owed a peasant named Desvergnes, with whom he was on intimate terms, 35f., and as he was unable to pay he proposed to Desvergnes to assist him in stealing three hecto litres of wheat from his (Timon's) father's barn, and to take them in payment. Desvergnes having ac cepted the proposition, Thursday night was for the robbery, and at six o'clock in the evening of of that day Desvergnes went to Timon's Timon, to while away the time until the night b_ should be sufficiently advanced to enable the stroll bery to be committed with safety, proposed a e s e .e ll fixed by the side of the Drone.
