If any difficulty be experienced i n obtaining that Edition, a communication to Th e Sum Office will remedy it. Sun Office, 112, Strand. , L)NDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1866 Pennsylvania has decided in favour of Slavery ! The drab-clothed, broad-brimmed inhabitants of the model State has pronounced in favour of the "domestic institution." We have recently heard of extraordinary tampering with the registries, by means whereof some 15,000 or 20,000 ficti tious votes were added to t h e list. But still we could scarcely have supposed it possible that the State founded by and named after WILLrAM PENN could so far have identified itself with an abomi nation so revolting to the mind of every profess ing Christian. It is true that the election which has just taken place has only been for municipal officers—not for the delegates who are to vote at the contest for the Presidency. It, however, indi cates the nature of the all-important decision on the 4th November, and places the FREMONT and Free-soil stock at a considerable discount. We need scarcely allude to the magnitude of the interests involved in the result of the forth coming election. It is not merely in America that it is looked for with anxiety, Should Mr. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1856. BVCHANAN, unfortunately, be the successful can didate—should the slave-owners triumph—there must necessarily benot mere. intestine commotion, but foreign war will be added. The piratical filibus ters will receive Government support, and a sys tem of aggression will be inaugurated that must be steadfastly resisted. The Missouri compromise will be repudiated by the executive, and new Slave States introduced in the Union. The stars will pale before the malign influence and " the stripes " speedily pass into the ascendant. The annexation of Cuba will be one of the first acts of the leader at the Ostend Conference ; and it requires no extraordinary amount of prescience to foresee the consequences of such a proceeding. Every European Power is, therefore, deeply interested in the defeat of the Planters' nominee, of the man who could occasion strife and commo tion, not only in the United States, but through out the civilised world. Should BucaaNAN be chosen the Union cannot possibly be maintained. Although the Freesoilers have hitherto been sin gularly apathetic, and "respectable parties " have kept themselves aloof from the turmoil of politics, the "policy of abstention " is no longer practica ble. There must be a decisive declaration for or against S!avery. Neutrality is simply impossible —and if the mischievous energy of the planters should triumph for a time, the Northerns must be contented to sink into political cyphers—to a condition but little beyond that of the " coloured population," who have so long been degraded to a position scarcely befitting the lowest link in the human scale. Mr. PRESTON S. BROOKS and his admirers have threatened the dissolution of the Union should FREMONT obtain a majority. Let it be tried ! They will themselves be the sufferers. Without the Northerns they could not hold their ground for a single week ; and yet they have the audacity to threaten those who are really masters, of the position—the arbiters of their fate. We have had many painful examples of oligarchies, but there never have been any so mischievous as that of the slaveowners in the United States. Up to this time they have had everything their own way. They have maintained a monopoly of every official station, even to a petty postmastership or letter carrier's position. None but the advocates of the fortunate " platform" could aspire. The most extensive system of bribery and corruption ever known in any country was introduced. The mere vulgar passage of the " almighty dollar " formed but an insignificant portion of the influ ences in operation ; and even the most experienced electioneering agent might advantageously have taken a leaf out of the planters' book. The 4th of November will now decide the fate of the United States. For their own sake, and for the interests of humanity, we trust that Fie- MONT may be chosen. If not, we shall speedily witness " the beginning of the end." The border ruffians will not be content to remain in stmtu quo. New aggressions will be attempted. Slavery will no longer be restricted to the coloured population. It will be extended to white emi grants, who, being involved in difficulties, are compelled to go in debt to those who may desire to obtain control over the persons of themselves and the female* of their families. Even their Northern neighbours may not be exempted from a lot which, considering their apathy and indif ference, cannot be considered altogether un merited. The shareholders in the Dutch and Rhenish Junction who so far despaired of its accomplish ment as not merely to be willing to dispose of their shares at any discount, but to remunerate any one for taking them as a free gift, knew little of the Dutch. character. KNIOKERBOOKBP., in his veritable " History of New York," records how his great grandfather, a substantial citizex of Rotterdam, undertook to build a new church for the use of his fellow-citizens, and how he set about furnishing the architectural design. In the first place he ordered a boxful of pipes and a cask of Virginia, and, these being supplied, smoked aFay for three months. His next step, on re eovering his perpendicular position, was to make a tour of inspection of the churches in the neigh bourhood and round about in the land which had the honour to give him birth. This being com pleted he returned home after a three months' absence. Being a Dutchman of good bottom he was not the man to do things in a hurry. Three months more were suffered to elapse, when his admiring fellow-citizens were called together, and the corner stone of the most wonderful church in the world was laid. The wits of the ingenious D.utchman, though apparently dormant, had not been idle, as the sequel abundantly demonstrates. The thought with which he had laboured was of uncommon magnitude. So great that the enter prise or resources of his fellow-citizens proved unequal to it. Only a wing of the church was ever built, but as that served the purpose, we don't see there was much reason to complain. When one gets all one wants, how should one repine at not getting more ? See the value of historical reading ; for want of it the shareholders to whom we have referred had well nigh lost, and paid for losing, a good thing. The Dutch and Rhenish Junction scheme was neither dead nor asleep, as will be seen in a re port which appears in another part of our pre sent impression. It not only was conceived, but, despite all apparent delay, was in due course of development, and we are happy to record is now enrolled in history as an acceenplished fact. The Dutch officials have not been the idle drones impatient shareholders counted them. They have done their duty, as Dutch men should, after the approved Dutch fashion. Whether the design of the original planner is carried out no further Than in the case of the ancestral KNICKERBOCKER or not we are unable to say ; but we are quite sure the parallel will fail in the last particular. If a wing —the term is hardly applicable to a j unction—or but a sec tion of the scheme be complete, the whole will assuredly be carried out. Railways make rail ways. What serves now will be inadequate to the necessities of future times. As years roll on a vastly increased population, an expanded and fast expanding commerce, new wants, an in creased desire for social intercourse, and for fastening the bonds of affection, too often broken btlyiedeinsttairtie design,ce,will insure the accomplish men t o f network of railway c e o v m en mu if ni i c t ati i o n n cl . udes a perfect We sympathise, therefore, as much as possible with the joy o f our Dutch Rhenish friends on the completion of the line. Had we been Ger , mans or Dutchmen our sympathy might have 1 1 been clogged by regret at our inability to be present at the remarkable festivities with which the happy event has been celebrated at Rotter and Cologn e . Being English dam, Amsterdam, men the case is different, and our sympathies are rather increased than diminished by the report we have received of ithe abounding good cheer— the music and the dancing, and the illuminations, of our phlegmatic friends. To us it is sufficient to be assured that they understand the value of railway intercommunication ; and of this the character of the festivities divests us of all doubt. In sober seriousness we heartily rejoice at the auspicious event. Nothing but good can come of it, and it is the more to be rejoiced at because the difficulties which have been overcome were very great ; and the English shareholders, who con stitute the great majority, have now, after a long period of anxiety and doubt, a promising future before them. In a political point of view we recognise also a source of congratulation. The prominent part taken by our fellow countrymen, and the capital they have invested in the undertaking, irrespective of the legi timate results of railway communication, in which we are not the last to participate, can hardly fail to have a beneficial effect. As Mr. HOLLAND remarked at the grand banquet at Rotterdam, "in thus binding together the three great countries of Germany, Holland, and Eng land by another chain, not an iron but a golden one, they (the shareholders) are further cement ing the relations of England with countries, one of which has already claims upon her feelings arising from domestic ties of an endearing kind, and the other by historical sympathies and asso ciations." Waving remark on the first head, the last we recognise as indisputable. In the history of Holland we have the history of a people who, like ourselves, have fought the good fight of freedom, both in the civil and religious field. In Holland the Eng►lish patriots of the seventeenth century found refuge from tyranny at home—a refuge which might not have existed but for the protection of the youthful republic accorded by the English ELIZABETH. The history of Prussia is of an inferior renown. The ardent love of liberty which has signalised Holland finds no record there. Still the aspirations of freemen have not been wanting, and religious freedom has, in a large measure, been secured. Prussia arid England hare had no interne cine wars, and have fought side by side on more than one bloody field. At the present time a King unworthy of her sways herlestinies ; and Holland, unfortunately, is in the toils of a Rus sian connection. Let us, however, indulge the hope that a bright future is in store for both conntries, and that a more stable and noble alliance than dynasties can insure may hereafter be established between three countries having so much in common, and neither wholly unworthy of cordial relations. It will be well for freedom and civilisation if this hope be realised. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. THE BESSARABIAN FRONTIER QUESTION. A few days since, says the Vienna correspondent of the Times, a conversation took place here be tween Baron de Bourqueney and Prinee Calli macki, which was equally instructive and curious. It was the question of the conduct of Russia in the Bessarabian Frontier Question, and the French Ambassador expressed his astonishment that the Porte, England, and Austria should attach such importance to places like Boigrad and the Isle of Serpents. " France," said M. de Bour queney, " took up arms against Russia in order to prove to her that she was not the sole mis tress of Europe, and now that her object is attained, she displays that magnanimity and gene rosity which are natural to her, and yields to Rus sia in trifles." The reply of the Turkish diploma tist was that he should greatly admire the chival rous feeling of France if she were generous at her own expense ; but her conduct appeared to him like that of q, rich man, "who would give away his poorer neighbour's goods in order to show his gene rosity." My informant was unable to say what re joinder was made by the French diplomatist. It may be observed that men in office are infinitely less enthusiastic i n praise of Baron de Bourqueney than they were a couple of months since. TIIE DOWAGER EMPRESS OF RUSSIA. Gni•ros., Oct. 24.—The Empress of Russia arrived here at five o'clock last evening, King Victor Emmanuel had previously arrive at noon. Count Albert la Marmora, the intendant, had the night before directed the National Guard to hold itself under arms in honour of the visit of the two crowned heads. i The two legions were accord ingly at their post n the Rue do Balbi, where the royal palace is situated. The bersaglieri, the artil lery, and the Savoy brigade in garrison at Genoa, lined the road in the vicinity of the railway-station. Nearly all the soldiers were decorated with the medal of the Queen of England, and their martial air and excellent bearing showed how advantageous to the troops of Piedmont has been the training they have received by serving in conjunction with French and English soldiers. and their suites, after visiting in detail the various parts of that curious atcl historical site, remained for some time admiring the picturesque valley ad joining the ruins. The Emperor, in his so li c it u d e for th general welfare, made inquiries as to the success of the thermal establishment, which consti tutes the riches of the place, and expressed his satisfaction to the mayor at the account given of The Union, comments on the note published by the Moniteur on the English press, and thus ex presses itself : " Tbe Moniteur complains of the English press, the opinions of which, it would appear, are of a nature to trouble the friendly relations of the two States. We had not reflected on this peril, but had anticipated another. The grea4 peril in our eyes to' bo apprehended is not a rupture of the good relations existing between France and England ; the danger would proceed from an accordance of ideas which would place tho two coun tries beyond the ban of social instinct and of all Europe. In our opinion France could not follow this impulsion without repudiating its genius, his tory, and destiny. France is the central point of the political world ; England is perhaps the central point of the commercial world. These are two contrary positions, which cannot give rise to the same tendencies, ideas, or passions. That alliances of interest may be formed is natural ; but let every State keep to its parti cular nature. The nature of France is to influence the idea of nations ; consequently she cannot detach herself from Europe, nor place herself in open rupture with the policy of the latter, for it is by E urope th a t th e w orld is governed, and by England that it is troubled. More over, the difference of views and instincts is sufficiently palpable to render impossible any illusion on the subject. The English press has said the Italian questions are not alone questions of preponderance, but of speculation. Can the genius of France accommodate itself to this policy ? We know well that it cannot do so." The Moniteur publishes the official return of the receipts of the customs revenue for last month, which amounted to 15,229,481 f., being an increase of 3,354,416 f. on the corresponding month of 1855. The receipts for the first nine months of 1856 have been 129,822,006 f., showing a decrease of 21,317,269 f. on the corresponding period of 1855. Taking the comparison of the first nine months of 1856 and 1855, the items of revenue which have exhibited the greatest falling-off are—Foreign sugar, 16,283,689 f. ; raw wool, 5,198,790 f. ; coffee, 4,605,890 f. ; olive oil, 467,926 f. ; cocoa, 203,215 f.; rough castings, 177,251 f. ; rough lead, 107,351 f. ; copper, 103,983 f. ; bar iron, 90,598 f. ; nitrates of soda and potass, 68,278 f., &e. The articles which show the greatest improvement are—French colo nial sugar, 3,436,493 f. • raw cotton, 1,381,328 f. ; coal, 488, 983 f. ; coarse linen goods, 219,422 f &c. " We think we can announce," says the Consti tutionnel, " that Baron Brenier, the French Mi nister' left Naples on the 27th. He will return direct to France by sea." The Constitutionnel says :—" The maintenance of Marshal Serrano in Paris as Spanish Ambassador is now an official fact." BOURSE, Oct. 28.—Tne market has been again buoyant in the Rente and Mobilier, owing to the approaching settlement, which obliges speculators to buy back a part of the stock which they had sold. The following were the last quotations : Cash. fr. c. End of Month. 44 per Cents 3 per Cents 67 5 66 90 New Loan Bank Shares 3,900 Roman Credit Mobilier 1,400 Austrian Belgian Five 5.........

That the Rus sian Government still has troops in the whole of that territory which it will have to cede to Mol davia ; and 2. That the statements of some re spectable Austrian papers that " the evacuation of the Danubian Principalities will not take place until the internal affairs of those provinces are re gulated" are incorrect. The Russian squadron took its departure from Kiel on the 26th for the points of destination of the several ships composing it under Rear- Admi ral Berens. The screw frigate Polkan is said to be destined to proceed to Athens ; the brig Phi loktel to Constantinople, while the screw liner \Viborg and the frigate Castor will have to wait at Cherbourg for further orders. Accounts from St. Petersburg to the 20th inst. mention that the night frosts are felt to be very severe for this early period of the year. Along the shores of the Gull of Finland ice has even already made its appearance, but has disappeared again as quickly before the rays of the sun. The ship ments of corn from St. Petersburg continue very lively, and supplies of this article begin to be very scarce. Copenhagen accounts mention that the military stores of the Government have been embezzled to a considerable extent, and the committee appointed to investigate the subject have already discovered no less than 58 persons engaged in these frauds, all of whom have been brought before. the civil tribu nal to be tried. The Royal decision relative to the right of Prince Christian of Denmark to be a member of the Privy Council o f State has been published. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

A letter from Milan says :—" On the evening of the 17th the Duchess of Orleans, travelling under the name of the Countess of Villiers, arrived here from Como, accompanied by the Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres. They are staying at the Hotel de Ville, where also Prince George of Saxony is stopping, under the name of Count de Weesenstein." THE KNIGHTSBRIDGE CHURCH CASE.—Sir John Dodson, Dean of the Court of Arches, has named Tuesday next as the day on which be will give judg ment, at his court in Doctors' Commons, on the appeal from Dr. Lushington's decision in the case of " Wtst• erton v. Liddell." Upon his decision will depend the manner in which the services of a large number of churches throughout the country will be performed, as there are many, particularly in the diocese of London, Exeter, and Oxford, where the Knightsbridge model is followed. THE CLIMBING BOYS OF PRESTON. —Public feeling has been lately outraged by an exposure of the cruel treat ment of little children, meetly orphans, who are em ployed as chimneysweeps in this town and district. The humane intentions of recent legislation on this matter ate systematically set at nought. The Chimney Sweepers Act is a dead letter in North Lancashire. A meeting w as, however, held at the Young Men's Club, Fisher gate, on Monday morning, as the annout,cement stated, to take into consideration the most effectual plan for securing the observance of the act of Parliament passed to prevent the practice of employing little boys in the cruel and degrading occupation of chimney sweeping ; the Rev. J. Slate was called to the chair. The revolting cruelty of the system as practised in Preston, Blackburn, and some other places having been descanted upon, it was resolved to form a society that should see to the en forcement of the law, and a provisional committee was appointed to take the further necessary steps for that purpose. BRITISEf MEN OF WAR AT arrITA VECOIIIA. ROME, Oct. 23.—The messenger bearing the ultimatum of the British Government to the liing of Naples was expected to arrive at Civita Vecchia last Sunday morning by the French steamer, and Captain Clifford left Rome on Saturday evening, in order to be in time to receive the messenger, and the despatch announcing the final resolution of his Bc,urbonic Majesty, in reply to the intimations 01 the Western Powers. But either the sing had not made up his mind to the momentous decisions in time, or the cabinet messenger was apprised that delay would be incurred at Civita Vecchia by that steamer being subjected to quarantine, on accull u if of the cholera being declared to have at Malta, for he did not arrive, and the Britisia, vessels Centaur and Osprey are consequently IL waiting at Civita Vecchia. On receiving the de sired intelligence the commanders will commu ne cate it to the admiral, who will of course act 80 ' cording to the exigency of the case ; but after per shown itse_ using the very mild passage in the Moniteurt brought to us by this morning's post, we cal:me., u expect very energetic measures to be adopte d, a i e e. the predictions of the Italians that the wh ole monstration would end in smoke seems most likely to be realised. The diligence from Frosinone to Rome was 0:1 pur suing the even tenour of its way on Monday ,"" o f ing, about daybreak, in the neighbourheou, d Valmontone, when the postilion suddenly Pr w e n up his horses, to prevent their being thrown u° ss by a rope which had been tightly stretched or 0 the road with an evidently malicious purpose. 9/4 gendarmes seated in the front of the vehicle of down to assist in removing the obstacle, but whi t he so engaged they had to sustain a volley from , brigade in ambush, which wounded one of the ge.-,„ darmes severely in the shoulder, besides bl ow ?: off three of his fingers.

ITALIAN OPERA. The second performance of the announced series of six took place last night, when Rossini's ever fresh and charming "Barbiere " was given with great effect, the characters of Rosina, Basilio, Bartolo, and Almaviva being sustained by Madame Gassier, Messrs. Formes, Rovere, and Mario. Such a cast needs little comment. As Rosina, the wonderfully skilful and accomplished Madame Gassier first won the enthusiastic homage of the London public, and no soprano at present on the stage could do greater justice to the music. Her " Una Voce," in which an E in alt was touched by the singer several times with great purity and sweet ness, elicited unanimous and most enthusiastic applause. Her duet with Figaro, "Dengue io son," was re demanded. Mario, at the commencement of the opeia, seemed to be seriously affected by hoarsenesel, but this wore off, in a great measure, as the performance proceeded, and he most assuredly never sang with more masterly skill or expression than on the present occasion. Mario's acting, too, was throughout spirited, easy, and perfectly gentlemanlike. In fact, he was the Count Almaviva from top to toe, and is certainly the only one at present upon the Italian stage. The celebrated tenor was honoured with a " reception" which lasted some minutes, and was warmly applauded from first to last. Herr Formes appeared as Basilic,. His rendering of the famous air, "La Calumnia," was a masterpiece of dramatic expression, and richly deserved the great applause bestowed upon it. The house was crowded in every part. COURT CI teCU6AR. ,WINDSOR, OCT. 28. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge (attended by the Hon.

THE AGAPE LONE.—The Somerset papers relate some curious particulars in rr.ference to the leading persons iu this institution. BrotDer Prince, who is at its head, was educated at St. David's College, Lampeter, and was afterwards ordained and made curate of Charlchurch, near Bridgewater, of which parish, Brother Starkey, second in command at the Agapemone, was at that time rector. While acting as curate Mr. Prince preached extraordinary doctrines, divided his congregation into two classes, " the blemed," and the " cursed," and ad ministered the sacrarnont of the Lord's supper to very young children. This tlour:e of conduct brought down ecclesiastical censure up on him, and he retired from his curacy. THE LORD CHANCELL OWE CHURCH LIVINGS.—A bout three weeks since the rt dory of Chalk, near Gravesend, became vacant by the oteaith of the Rev. Cr. J. Wyatt, and a general desire eras expressed by the inhabitants of the town that the cart oration should address a re spectful memorial to the, L.,rd Chancellor, who is patron of the living, praying tha, he would confer it upon the Rev.

The cor poration agreed to a merr iorial, and it was forwarded to the Lord Chancellor, a l i d i mme di ate l y after its receipt his lordship sent down I its nomination of the rev. gen tleman to the living. LATEST NEWS. VIENNA, TUESDAY EVENING. The Austrian Correspondence deliberately reite rates its assertion of Sunday last. It again denies totally the statement of the Constitutionnel, Pays, and Patric, that the Ottoman Porte had protested against the occupation of the Principalities by Austrian troops, and it does this notwithstanding the persistent assertions of those journals to the contrary. MARSEILLES, OCT. 28. The French Ambassador at the Court of Persia has arrived at Constantinople, on his return from Teheran ; and it is said that his Excellency had prevailed on the Shah to make peace with England. The preparations for the English expedition to the Persian Gulf nevertheless continued, and on its side Persia was fortifying Herat. Later advices from Constantinople announce that the resignation of the Turkish Ministry re mains unaccepted. Baron Brenier is expected at Paris on Satur day or Sunday next. It was stated that the Kingl of Naples intended issuing a manifesto explaining and defending his conduct. We are assured that the King will do nothing of the kind. His Ma jesty has no great love for publicity, and he will hardly depart from his old habits on the present occasion. The Paris correspondent -of the Times (Second Edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says :-- "Arrests have again taken place, in consequence of the strike among certain classes of the work men. Placards still more menacing than those I have already alluded to continue to be posted on the walls of houses, and they assume indifferently a Legitimist, Orleanist, or revolu tionary colour. It is not by night only that these placards are affixed, but sometimes in the noon day, under the eyes of the police. The persons who are said to be employed in this work bring small sheets of paper, which are already prepared with wafers, and they take their stand against a wall, holding their hands behind their back, as if they were merely resting themselves. They soon quit their position, and leave the placard sticking to the wall, without the police agents noticing them. It is only in an hour or two afterwards that the groups who stand reading the paper attract their attention, and when they come up to the spot they find such words as these Vive Henri V. I" Tire le Comte de Paris!' Vive la Republique 1" A bas Napoleon ! WortauxProprietaires !" LePain alO sous,' &c. " A telegraphic despatch, received yesterday, announced the resignation of the whole of the Turkish Ministers. That intelligence was after wards confirmed by another despatch, but we have since then learned that the Ministers have with drawn their resignations. The explanation of this brief Ministerial crisis is this :—The French Am bassador, M. Thouvenel, recently expressed his opinion on the subject of the Austrian occupation in a very warm and determined manner, and in a last interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs insisted on his coming to a resolution on that sub ject, and to demand the evacuation of the terri tory at the time fixed by the treaty. This, I suppose, was considered an advantage obtained over the opposing diplomacy, and, if I can trust my information, the English Ambassador regarded it in the same light, as he remonstrated in very strong terms against the resolution. The inter view between Lord Stratford and the Ottoman Minister was probably of a very animated cha racter. At the moment it was over the Ministers placed their resignation in the hands of the Sultan. The Sultan at once wrote an autograph to Aali Pasha, the Grand Vizier, in which he assured him that at no period did the Ministry enjoy his con fidence more fully than at the present moment, and he declared his resolution not to accept the resignations, which were accordingly withdrawn. It may be taken for granted, therefore, that the maintenance of the Ministry is the maintenance of the same policy." The Vienna correspondent of the Times, in a letter dated Oct. 24, says : " If the information which has to-day reached me be correct, the Imperial Government has com. municated to the great Powers its readiness to withdraw every Austrian soldier from the two Principalities as soon as Russia has ceded Bolgrad to Moldavia and renounced all claim to the Isle of Serpents. If the Bessarabian fron tier question is to be settled by the Paris Con ference, Russia will to a certainty retain posses sion of Bolgrad, as France and Prussia (and probably Sardinia) will give her their support. According to the Berlin Zeit, which is a Ministe rial organ, it cannot even be the question of the cession of Bolgrad to Moldavia. The matters which it is proposed to bring before the Paris Con ference or Congress are :-1. The Isle of Serpents and Bolgrad. 2. The rectification of the Turco- Russian frontier in Asia. 3. There-organisation of the Danubian Principalities. 4. Naples. 5. Greece ; and 6. Neuchatel. The Areopagus which the Emperor of the French has managed to eitablish at Paris is not to the taste of Austria, but she is for the moment in an awkward position, and must e'en go with the stream. " The inhabitants of this city already begin to speak of an alliance between France and Russia as of a thing which is ' very likely' to take place." SWEDEN. The King of Sweden's speech on the opening of the Diet, on the 23d inst., contains the follow ing patagraphs:— " Two commissions, consisting of an equal num ber of Swedes and Norwegians, have just drawn up the draught of a bill for regulating the com merce and navigation between Sweden and Nor way. " A mixed commission is occupied with fixing the contingents which each country has to provide for the defence of the independence and for the maintenance of the common glory. "An enlightened toleration for the faith of others, based upon the love of one's neighbour, and inspired by an indomitable conviction, con stitutes the essence of the dogmas of the Protes tant Church. "The ancient laws which impede the freedom of worship must therefore give way, so that the community may* be in harmony with the consti tution. "Bills for the- abolition of the punishment of exile, and for reforms of the Criminal Code, will be laid before you." PRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Times was detained to-day for some hours at the Post-office by order of the authorities, and it was thought that it would not be delivered at all. Some numbers that had found their way to the cafes were withdrawn. If aco mplete stoppage had been intended it was not sa:cried out, as the numbers were distributed as usual, though at a comparatively late hour in the afternoon. The Emperor and Empress, ac sompanied by a numerous suite, yesterday visited the extensive feudal ruins of Pierrefouds. The moment the ar rival of their Majesties became known the inhabi tants hastened to the spot, and - welcomed them With the loudest acclamations. Their Majesties A SHOT FIRED AT A RAILWAY TRAIN. Yesterday, just as the 9 a.m. fast train from South. ampton had passed the Woking station, some miscreant either fired or threw a missile at one of the first•class carriages. It took effect upon the side window of a compartment in which two military officers, who bad joined the train at Aleershot, were seated—Lieutenant Saldwell, •f the Military Train, and Mr. J. W. John son, attached to the depot at Winchester. The broken glass struck Mr. Johnson with sufficient violence ou the side of the head to stun him, and his face was scratched severely. At the instant the outrage occurred the train was passing through a plantation belonging to Mr. Locke King, M.P., and the perpetrator was unob served by either of the guards, nor was it until after the arrival of the train at Waterloo that the circum stance became known, Lieutenant Caldwell then re porting what had happened to Platform-inspector Smith, who conducted both gentlemen to the traffic manager, Mr. Scott. The carriage window was at once examined, and a circular hole found, which appears to have been made by a small bullet or leaden drop ; but, although the strictest search was made, no missile •f any kind could be found in the carriage. Mr. Bent, chief of the railway police, at once left town for the scene of the outrage, and on reaching Woking speedily found a labourer who had been employed in a field behind Mr. Locke King's plantation the whole day. This man declares that no gun was fired off in his hearing during the morning, and his character for truth fulness having been found to be unimpeachable, Mr Bent pursued his inquiries further, and presently dis covered that, shortly after the train passed, Mr. Green hill, a gentleman farmer, resident in the neighbourhood, bad detected two boys stealing wood out of this plan tation. The presumption now is that the mischief was occasioned by one or other of these delinquents. They are both known, and will probably be in custody before this account can be read ; and, if evidence of their guilt is forthcoming, the company will prosecute them with the utmost severity. A Postal Convention has been concluded between Spsin and Great Britain. Burglaries are on the increase in Dalston and Kings. land. In the mortality returns this week we find no less than three deaths from that singular disease carbuncle. It is generally rumoured that Mr. James Wilson s , M.P., is to have the vacant office of Chairman of the Iniontd Revenue.

At Lambeth Police Court, yesterday, Ben. Flint was sentenced to two months' imprisonment for illegally appropriating a Post-office order for U. to his own use. The letter containing the order came into his poisession in consequence of its being directed to a person who lately lodged with him. THE NOTTING-FILL BURGLARIES.— Yesterday James Barnes, a deserter from the Hussars, was indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of Mr. Ulathorn, a gen tleman residing at Notting-hill, Bayswater. Although the evidence was perfectly clear against the fellow, the jury, to the astonishment of the judge and all in court, returned a verdict of not guilty. THE NEW STREET THROUGH SOUTHWARK.—Last even ing, a crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Christchurch was held in the parochial school rooms, Green-walk, Blackfriars-road, to take into consi deration the various plans proposed for the formation of the new street through Southwark. The Rev. Joseph Brown occupied the chair. On the motion of Mr. Blake, seconded by Mr. Apsley Pellatt, M.P., it was resolved that owing to the vast increase of street traffic on the south side of the river Thames, which was attributable to the various railway termini in the locality, it is highly desirable that a new and suitable street should be opened across this parish connecting the existing main tho• roughfares leading to the several bridges over the river, and that such street be commenced without delay. Se veral gentlemen having addressed the meeting, it was further resolved that it would be the best means of car rying out the object of the first resolution by commenc ing a street in Blackfriars-road, as nearly as possible opposite Stamford-street, and terminating near the ter minus of the Brighton and Dover Railways, at London bridge. DEATH FROSt FIREWORKS,—An explosion of fireworks, atteoded with fatal consequences, occurred at Rashcliffe, near Huddersfield, on Friday night last. John Shaw, a clothdresser, has for years been in the practice of mak ing large quantities of fireworks far sale, and was so engaged on Friday night last with his wife, son, and daughter, and his grandniece, named Jane Ellen Barra clough, aged 7 years. They were all engaged in their dangerous work in a small room at the back part of the }imble dwelling of Shaw, with two naked candles burn ing close to where the family were making squibs, crackers, and other pyrotechnical works. A basin of water was placed for Shaw to deposit the candle-snuffs into, but it appears that, this precaution failed to insure security, for a dreadful explosion occurred from the snuff from one of the candles igniting some loose pow der. Upwards of 701 b. of powder and other dangerous articles used in the manufacture of fireworks were in the house, and the whole of the workers, except Mrs. Shaw, were burnt, scorched, and injured by the explosion, and the young girl, Jane Ellen Barraclnugh, was so much injured that she died the same evening. It is hardly necessary to add that the house and its furniture were also damaged, but fortunately the whole of the powder in the house did not explode. On Monday the deputy coroner for the district (Mr. Ingham) held an inquest on the body of the deceased, and the jury returned a ver dict of accidental death. Some years ago Shaw had an explosion of fireworks on the premises he then occupied, but it was not attended with fatal results. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD.—The garrison at Pembroke has, by the authorities, been made a command, indepen dent of the military district of South Wales, and now communicates direct with London, instead of through the district commanding officer.

The barrack huts will bold 1,000, the fortified barracks not more than 500, and the forts will absorb another 100. The superior officers are Colonel Raymond, Major Rickman, Adjutant Barrett, let Battalion ; Colonel Turner, Adjutant Baillie, 2d battalion. MEXICAN BOISE lIROLDERS.
