We shall be accused of want of sympathy with the North, of rejoicing in Federal humiliations, and of envious pleasure in the misfortunes of the only rival which dared to beard and browbeat us i as we deserved—we cannot help it—but the truth is we think the North deserves the constant misfortunes it incurs. Did we disbelieve in a PROVIDENCE, the present position of the North would make us believe in one. The North has had but two successes worth mentioning ; M'CLELLAN'S first, in Western Vir ginia ; and the naval one at Cape Hatteras. And each of these it has to leave incomplete. RosEN CRANTZ, whom M'CLELLAN left in command, cannot get the Confederates out of Western Virginia ; and so incomplete is the work at Cape Hatteras, that Confederate steamers came out of Pamlico Sound and actually captured the Fanny while conveying supplies to a Northern Regiment. The blockade they make but a poor affair of. We hear continually of the spirited deeds of Southern cruisers, and even in the Mediterranean, American vessels with valuable cargoes, are quaking for their safety. Before New Orleans, though the first ac count turns out to be a gross exaggeration, yet the Federal accounts which come to-day, confess that their half-dozen vessels had to run for it—got aground—threw overboard guns and cables, and a storeship was still left sticking on the bar. The Bermuda, from this country, with military supplies invaluable to the South, found her way into Savan nah, and no doubt others will imitate her example. As to the military part of the business, with few exceptions, the South seems to have the best of it. Almost every victory of importance seems to be on their side. Bull's Run will of course never be forgotten: In Missouri they seized Lexington, and enriched themselves with money and much-needed stores; its reoccupation was of little service after it had been gutted, and its 3,000 defenders dismissed with an oath to fight no more. The last engagement at Harper's Ferry, where poor Baker was killed, cost the Federalists, besides, not only a defeat, but also the loss of between 600 and, 700 men killed, wounded, drowned in their flight, and prisoners. The story always is, we doubt not a true one, of how bravely the Fede ralists fought ; b generalship, but then, perhaps ow i ng t o th e the bravery was always thrown away. In all these smaller affairs the Federalists have at least nothing to bo ast of; - while it is certain that they are mach the most frequeil tip out-eneraled. Then, in the mai n p art of the g a l tru g g l e , th e Con federates, thus far , have decid e d y the advanta e 11I`CLELLAN cannot yet muster strength sufficient ength sufficient for the attack, which is his only object. B EAuRE. GARD is abundantly strong for defence, which is hi s sole object. How long these relative positions will be maintained, wo cannot of course tell, but month of advanc e , i 3 pawed O ctober, the promised away, and the only advance has been to a few un defended p os itions, not even fortified by the enemy, If APCLELLAN'S army be strong enough to forc e the enemy from his old field of victory, we have, as yet, no proof it, but rather proof to the contrary. Indeed, all things look as if January-, which in those regions seems to be as propitious for military movements as our February, would arrive, and find the grand army of the Federation yet under canvass near the banks of the Potomac. A wintry prospect this for Federalism. At present the money winter has not yet set in. Thebanks contin ue to furnish the Government by l oans w ith the money which cannot find employment in the half annihilated trade of the country; but the war revenue nil. The tariff has half destroyed their .... customs, and their manufacturers are angry with their Government for bringing the soldiers good great-coats from Yorkshire, and not letting the poor fellows die off of diarrhoea, rather than lessen the demand for native shoddy ! Patriotism seems to go to the extent of paying nothing down towards the war, and wanting to job at the cost of the soldiers' lives ! Now all this miserable state of things is the just punishment of two things. One, Yankee conceit; the other, Yankee hatred of negroes. The former led them to imagine themselves able to overwhelm the South by clamour and "magnificent uprisings;" the latter to refuse the abolition of negro slavery, and thus, both to throwaway their most effectual weapon, and to multiply the resources of the South. The slaves work quietly for their masters, because they know that the North does not offer them free dom, rather sends them back to slavery. The South accordingly, though having bat half as many white men as the North, can spare as many for the war. Its inferiority lies in want of a navy, and want of military stores. In men it seems as well off as the North—in officers better off. We are sorry to see by the behaviour of Mr. SEWARD that the Yankees have as yet lost none of their overweening, bullying conceit, and that their anti negro feeling is yet as strong as ever. The two seem likely to defeat them. Their repentance will not come till Earope has been obliged to acknow ledge the Southern confederacy. And even then, instead of repenting of their sins, they will probably console themselves by wrath with England. It is not quite certain that the Reform question will be again got rid of easily by a Wednesday skirmish or two as it was this year. The disgraceful shuffling of all parties with the Government bill, followed, last session, by the repudiation of its two principal proposals in detail, seems, at last, to have told on the persons who should have gained the fran. chise. At the time, the upper sections of what may be called the operative class, or the class which lives on weekly wages, seemed very indifferent. Per haps they had not recovered from the collapse con sequent on the failure of the misconducted Chartist agitation—but rather there was, we believe, a gene ral impression that the Government and the House could not be so faithless and shameless as to throw overboard the electoral claims of the people because they were quiet. It was generally supposed that the House and the Government, if from nothing else, would, from a gentlemanly sense of honour, not dishonour the draft they had so distinctly accepted. Working men are, however, now thoroughly un deceived, They see Conservatives boasting of their feat, and Whigs not blushing for it—they under stand, therefore, at last, that the battle must be fought by themselves. The eloquence of Whig and Tory contempt is more effective than the eloquence of their honest friend JOHN BRIGHT. The latter held them entranced at monster meetings, and called forth hearty cheers, but the former has caused them to say " Let us go and fight the Government and Parliament." The movement now commencing in the North threatens to be no temporary and contemp tible one ; and it comes in aid of, and will encourage to bolder effort, the Reform Unions which have already been begun in several of the large cities. The Glasgow Council of United Trades is a body of men no administration can afford to slight, much less a Liberal one. Here is their view of their own past conduct, of the use which has been made of it, of the character of the Premier, and of their own present duty ; they say in their address to their fel low-workman :—" Since the fervour of the Chartist agitation extorted from the then Government the admission that the time was cone when the work ing classes ought to be placed on the electoral roll, there has been a gradual deereale in earnestness in pressing our claims on the notice of Parliament. Our silence has been misconstrued into a lack of interest in the movement; hence the enemies of reform have successfully argued that the people did not want to be enfranchised. We are promised a bill next session—we were promised one last session too. Our experience of the First Lord does aot warrant us in relying implicitly on his pledges, yet we feel satisfied that he will not withhold a right when demanded by a well expressed popu lar opinion ; he is too sagacious to do that. To urge you to express in a manner not to be mistaken, your opinion in the matter of political right, is the object of the present address." What will reader them, however, most formid able is their almost Hungarian policy, It does them unquestionably the highest credit. While not foregoing their " manhood suffrage" as a right, they show that they mean work, notwithstanding. They take the business-like view of insisting on having what has been offered them, which they cer tainly never refused, but which a treacherous House refused for them. Thus, they say—" What we would suggest is, that we push for what is now attainable, and occupy that, as so much vantage ground to help us on to greater victories. Let us then push Government to fulfil their pledge in the ensuing session of Parliament—declare to them our just claims and our determination to achieve the same. They are pledged to a £5 franchise for burghs and £lO for counties; and if we only show that we are in earnest, it is certain that no less liberal measure would satisfy the House of Com- mons." They then press on the attention of the various Trade Societies—and this Council represents thirty five trades—that their organisation affords the best means of organising a general movement for their electoral rights; they show that many of the ob jects of the societies can be obtained only by the possession of political power. And they end—" By submitting their plan of action, which is, that all trades, councils, trades societies, and such like as sociated bodies, at once memorialise Government to fulfil their pledge in the ensuing session of Parlia ment ; after which let a monster national petition be got up for presentation to Parliament on the day of its opening, in favour of a comprehensive measure of Reform ; or should it be deemed a wiser course to send petitions from various parties, let that be done." We should like to know what our Premier thinks of this. Possibly w© may hear soon. He is least of all the man to be uncourteous towards respectable working men, or to treat them with official coldness; and we may hope, therefore, in a short time to have an answer to the memorial addressed to himself by the Glasgow Council. They say to him_.“ We have no desire for a violent change, but would accept with gladness such an amendamoevnertnomf e t n h t e h representation of the people as your [ you the everlasting grat l i n t gf u: o t w as pledg e d it se lf t o g i ve. Thi s we claim, and this gre t expect at th e ha n d s o f your Government —th e which will gain for ho countrymen. W e therefore humbly pray y our lord . ship to introduce, n ex t sess i on of Parliament, a bill to amend the represent a ti on o f the people to the extent which your Government has already indi cated your willingness to grant." W e w i-jh the Trade Societies all success, and hope that their zeal and prudence now will more than redress the w'ffchief of their too quiet reliance on the honour of Ministers and Parliament. When i reform of Parliament, and especially extension of However, the whole affair is now in the hands of the working men. We and other advanced re formers have done our best for them ; we have been talked out of the house. It remains for the work ing man to say whether, when advocating their cause, we shall be so dealt with again. With their support, in the style indicated by the Council at Glasgow, we shall have the next laugh on their and our side. But we certainly shall not bestir ourselves again till we receive, as we may say, their orders. Let the Societies, we would only add, give no occasion to the common enemy by acts of intimi dation or violence, let them follow the admirable lead of the Glasgow people, let them be prompt also in their action, and we are confident that they might, in 1862, see their own leaders, where they ought to be, in the House of Commons. Captain TYLER, the Government Inspector of Railways, has recently furnished the Board of Trade with his report on the collision which took place in the Clayton Tunnel in August last, to which he has appended some important suggestions for the prevention or railway accidents. The Govern m'ent:authorities have, with commendable considera tion for the lives of the public, forwarded extracts of this report to the several railway companies, calling their attention to the subject. We are happy to see that the Board of Trade has at length exerted itself, if not in an authoritative manner, at least in a way which may induce the companies to re-organise their arrangements. The extracts from Captain TYLER'S report will be found in another column, and we need only draw attention to their leading features. After showing how the rapid and continuous extension of railway traffic has compelled the managers of the companies to infringe upon the rules first laid down for allow ing a certain time to elapse between the start ing of consecutive trains on the same line, he goes on to show that the electric telegraph enabled them, at a later date, to interpose instead of distance time ; and in tunnels when properly and efficaciously condicted it proved a great safeguard. On this subject Captain TYLER remarks :—" The greatest amount of security is ob tained on a double line of railway, in working a tunnel or a section of railway by telegraph, when a separate telegraph needle is used for each line of rails, and when each signalman (A) blocks over the needle of the signalman (B) next , to him, by means of a pin fitting into his instrument-handle as soon as he (A) is informed that a train has passed that signalman (B), and is travelling towards him, and when he (A) keeps that needle (of B) blocked over until such train has passed him. The telegraph needle in this case acts simply as a signal, by means of which A indicates " danger" or " all right" to B, A blocking B's needle (which B can not alter) over, either to the " all right" or to the " danger" side of the instrument, as may be neces sary, and always keeping it so blocked over, to indicate the actual condition of the line. In the Clayton tunnel only one telegraph-needle was em ployed, as I have stated, for two linos of rails, while two trains might be passing through the tunnel on each line at the same time. The one needle could not, of course, be blocked over to and kept at any particular indication, but was obliged to remain in a vertical or neutral position, and the necessary signals were made with it when a train passed into or out of the tunnel in either direction. Under this arrangement, the signalman, being unable to make a fixed indication, trusted to their memories during the passage of the trains ; the signalman A being required to remember that he had telegraphed " train in" to the signalman B, and had not received " train oat" from signalman B during the time that the one line was occupied ; and being required, perhaps, to exchange signals in the meantime with signalman B in regard to a train entering, or passing out, upon the other line." The fault has, however, been that the expense of working a telegraph so as to insure safety has acted as a great drawback to its general employment. This is a penny wise and pound foolish system. One serious accident will cost a company more from pecuniary loss (to say nothing of credit or humanity) than well arranged telegraphs and efficient employees. The late melancholy accidents have brought to light some particulars of railway economy which have rather startled the public. We do not refer to any particular line, but to the railway system generally ; and in saying that when discontented shareholders grumbling at small dividends, call upon the directors to curtail ex pense; these•gentlemen have begun at the wrong end, and reduced the staff of officials where a full complement of clever and energetic servants is most required, and to render the matter worse by reduc ing the salaries of those retained, induced men of capacity and ability to relinquish a service which requires long hours for small remunera tion ; and thus in too many cases the lives of thousands have been daily at the mercy of men . , who, from lack of other employment, have accepted the poor wages vouchsafed to signal-men and points • men. Railway Directors had far better reduce their solicitors' bills for factious contentions with rival companies, than for a paltry saving in the half-year, making themselves liable to heavy loss by rendering, through the inefficiency of their signal-men the safety of any train problematical. Captain TYLER says, and wisely, that when the traffic on any rail way becomes no heavy as to render it impossible to maintain a distance of TWO MILES between a suc• ending train, it is necessary to lay down more lines of rails. This, however, is easier said than done; the expense which on the first formation of the lines would have been trifling, will now be a heavy expense. When the railway system of this couutry was in its infancy, when GEORGE STEPHENSON so gallantly fought his up-hill fight against monopoly and prejudice, we then foreseeing what must ultimately be the development of the new mode of transit, endeavoured to open the eyes of the young companies to the necessity of laying down Fome lines of rail:, but at that time it was believed by those who ought to have known better that if traffic for the two lines could be obtained they would be more than satisfied. The cost of the extra width of ground required would have been next to nothing, and the tunnels and bridges would only have had to be made a little wider; now, however, laying down the extra rails the safe would be nearly tantamount to constructing a new railway. Thi s ma y p er h a ps b e avoided or at least deferreds working energeticif o f trains measures . Ir t b h e t e r a cci ke n n i s t i o t e sa ensure kry be given th e serv i ces of mon of ability and self reliance will b e obtained the railway traffic of the cofuonrtrimportantlf l inesare the labour, we do also THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEVIBER 7, 1861, the suffrage, is the question, working men may rest satisfied that their best friends in Parliament will be powerless without their own aid. It is not reason, but compulsion, which our aristocracy yield to in conceding measures of liberty, civil or religio n s. ' Even the present electors constitute an electoral aristocracy, and need to perceive that it is not safe to withhold its rights from the class immediately below them. Much more is it so with the elected, who shrink from enlarging the number of their fellow citizens to whom they will be compelled to defer. tors can do better than to consider well Captain TYLER'S able suggestions. He concludeshis remarks IMPRISONMENT UNDER TEE NEW BANKRUPYTY ACT.—On Monday next the Registrars of the Court of Bankruptcy, who have been appointed for the purpose, will attend at the Queen's Prison, Whitecross-street Prison, and Horsemonger-lane Gaol, to investigate the case of pri soners returned by the gaolers. There are upwards of 300 prisoners in the London prisons, and those places are ex pected to be much thinned before the next monthly return is made. In the event of a prisoner refusing to submit to the proceedings, his case is to be reported to the Court, and a warrant made for his commitment to the House:of Cor rection for a month, with or without hard labour, Notwith standing his refusal to submit his case can be dealt with by the Court of Bankruptcy. The Lord Chancellor:has made an order :appointing Mr. W. W. Alridge attorney in all prison cases applying in forma pauperis, and in other cases in which prisoners are refractory to the proceedings. as follows—the extract speaks for itself and needs no comment :—" Upon the whole, I conceive that for the safe working of any double-line tunnel or sec tion of railway, six telegraph-needles are re quired for the use of each signalman if he signals to other men on both sides of him, and three if he signals with a colleague on one side only. Of these needles one should be employed for each line of rails solely as a signal, and one, with a tele graph bell attached, to describe a train as it ap proaches, to ask leave for it to pass, to receive the reply, and to communicate in other ways. It is of importance also, though these may at first sight seem to be trivial matters, that the instruments should be placed in the signalman's hut, so as to face the directions in which they are intended to com municate, three on one side and three on the other, if the signalman has a telegraph station on each side of him; that the up•line needle also should be placed on the up side, and the down-line needle on the down side; that the train instruments should be marked only line clear' and ' line blocked, and the former on the left, the latter on the right, or vice versa, but all in the same man ner; and that the talking instruments should be marked with letters and figures in the usual way, as well as with any private signals which the signalmen are intended to employ. Any signalman entering any hut then sees at once what work every instrument and every needle has to do; and he is quite ready to take any other signalman's place at any moment. Further, the signalman should have clocks and record books, for entering the time of each train as it is signalled, to them, past them, and from them ; and they should be stationed in convenient huts, with cottages near them, that each man may have the means of calling up the man with whom he takes alternate duty, if it should become necessary for him to do so. Minor details of this description, though they are of great importance to the public safety, receive but little attention, and there is great need of improvement in these respects in all parts of the country." THE SKYLARK. 'aids by the Ettrick Shepherd. Music by John Raymond. Joseph Williams, Cheapside. It may be honestly asserted that this last compo sition is by far the best of Mr. Raymond's produc. tions. The simplicity and appropriateness of the melody must strike all who hear it. The beautiful lyric, one of James Hogg's finest outbursts of song, has generally been rendered in a gay and joyous style, but we think the present treatment, inclining to the tender and pensive, better suited to the words, and creating a greater impression. Mr. Raymond evidently pays attention to his author, and strives to give meaning to his music. We like this song very much. It is within the compass of most voices, and forms a charming and attractive musical feature to enliven the gloom of a winter evening. We hope to see more ballads of the same kind from this talented young composer, and con gratulate him on the success which has attended his efforts so far. He has the right spirit in him, and will doubtless do better things yet. WESTERN AUSTRALIA AND THE INTER-. .NATIONAL EXHIBLIION OF 1862. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. SIR,—In some recent articles on the preparations which the Australian colonies are making for their due represen tation at the Exhibition of 1862, you have touched upon the principal products likely to be exhibited by Victoria, New South Wales, and Tasmania, I beg to add that I have received advice of the following articles, inter alia, as being prepared for exhibition by the colony of Western Aus tralia : Specimens of timber suitable for shipbuilding and other marine purposes, and for railways, which resist the corrup tion of barnacles and the ravages of the white ant ; fancy woods of various kinds ; sandal wood, so well known in the China markets; copper, lead, and other ores; wheat, barley, and other grain; gums of various sorts; colonial wine; olives and olive oil ; preserved fruits ; ornamental feathers; and skins, suitable for articles of clothing. I have no doubt but that this list will be added to by succeeding mails; but I fear I have been rather remiss in not furnishing you with the information. I am, Sir, yours very faithfully, ALEXANDER ANDREWS, The Commissioner for Western Australia. 2, Church-court, Clement's-lane, City, Nov. 6. THE WARRIOR AT QUEENSTOWN.—DUBLIN, Nov, 6.—This splendid vessel arrived on Tuesday night at Queenstown. She gave great satisfaction on her trial trip. She steamed, with sails set, fully 18 miles an hour, and was perfectly steady, although the wind rose to a reefed topsail breeze. The Revenge, with Admiral Smart on board, was her companion, but the Warrior had frequently to go half speed, so as not to lose sight of her consort. Lord C. Paget and Mr. Drummond, of the Admiralty, were on board the Warrior. The Warrior will proceed to sea again on Saturday in search of bad weather, not having as yet encountered severe enough weather to test her sailing qualities. THE PRINCE OF WALES.—It is rumoured that the Prince of Wales intends to honour the Marquis of Bristol with a visit shortly at his seat, Ickworth Park.

The Earl of Clanwilliam has arrived at his resi dence in Belgrave-squaro from Deal Castle. The Earl and Countess Russell returned to Pem broke Lodge, Richmond Park, yesterday, from Broadlands, the seat of Viscount Palmerston. The Earl of Gifford, who has been seriously in disposed for some time past, is now much improved in health. A marriage is arranged to take place between viscount Hinchingbroke, eldest son of the Earl of Sand wich, and Lady Constance Villiers, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Clarendon. Sir Thomas and Lady Skipwith have returned to town from the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone. Mr. and Mrs. A. Bulkeley have left •Norman Court, Hampshire, the seat of Mr. T.

The firm transacted banking business. • SALE OF DRURY-LANE THEATRE RENTERS' SllARES.—Yesterday Mr. Robins offered for sale, at the auction mart, two renters' shares in the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, as also five £lOO joint-stock or proprietors' shares in the same theatre. The first lots put up were the renters' shares, each of which entitled the possessor to a free admission. The auctioneer stated that each share had to run a period of 35 years, and that the income from each was from £3 108 to £4 per annum. The annual income has been known to have been above £lO, and he was in hopes that that amount would be realised next year. Twenty guineas was the offer for the first share, and it was knocked down for 4:5 guineas. The second share produced 44 guineas, The five £lOO joint-stock shares, which afforded a nomina tion to the general committee, as also a personal life ad mission, went for 25 guineas. BULL'S RUN.—THE REAL EXPLANATION.—Ihe Accv YorZ; Dispatch sa) s :—" One of our exchanges has discovered the cause of the retreat of our army at Bull's Run, It says—' When the battle was at is s hottest point, and nearly won on our side, there came word that there were two vacancis s in the New York Custom-house. Hence the stampede of tbeleadins officers, The paen followed.' " THE LATE GALE.—The General Steam Naviga.. tion Company's steamship Clarence, Capt. Wilson, arrived at Granton from Lonion at midnight, having encountered very severe weather. On Saturday, about five p.m., saw a brig on the Middle Sand in the Swin, with signals of dis tress flying, and the crew in the rigging waving for help. With much difficulty the steamer approached, on which the crew, eight men, took to their boat, but it remaining at tached to the vessel by a rope, it was only by great exertion that Captain Wilson was enabled to save them. The men stated that the vessel was the Virago, of Hartlepool, coal laden; that in attempting to come to an anchor one of her cables broke, when she drove on the sand ; that five steamers had passed them without making any attempt to help them, and as it was getting dark when the Clarence appeared they had almost given up hope. The master re mained in the vessel ; the men state that he positively refused to avail himself of the means of rescue. —Scotsman. THE QUEEN'S WESTMINSTER RIFLE VOLUN TEERS.—The 11th (Covent Garden) Company met on Wormwood Scrubs on Tuesday last, to compote for prizes consisting of several handsome cups, rifles, &e., of different degrees of value, which were won in the following order : First prize to Private Keeble ; second to Private Seymour; third to Sergeant Smith ; the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, to Privates Milward, Mr, Clymout, Corporal Law, and Moore. The weather could not possibly have been more unfavourable for shooting, the wind and rain being at times blinding and occasionally blowing a hurricane, sending caps, capes, and all loose gear flying in all direc tions. At one period of the day it was thought advisable to postpone the match until a more propitious one, bat, aftar a brief parley, the company, nothing daunted by the weather, resolved to proceed and bring the contest to a conclusion. The scoring, though far from being high, was very creditable, considering the adverse state of the weather, To make amends, however, for the wretchedness of the day, the whole of the company, after the shooting, sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Birch, of the Pavilion, close at hand; Major and Adjutant Mayne, who had kindly consented to act as referee during the shooting, occupying the chair. The evening passed in a most agreeable way, and in a measure atoned for the un. successful efforts of the losing competitors. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND LONDON GAS.—The Paddington Railway Station is now being sup plied with gas from works which have been put into opera tion during the last two years at Wormwood Scrubs, Ken sal-green, built on some waste land at the side of the line. The land was given by the railway company on condition that the Paddington station and hotel should be supplied with gas at the rate of 2s. 10d. per 1,000 cubic feet. Mr. Gooch, locomotive superintendent, has now charge of these gas-works, and ho inspected the other day Walcott's patent gas retort bed, just finished there, with which he was so satisfied that he ordered another large bed of 'the same retorts to be erected there at once ; the first patent setting having been built on the space which previously only con tained the power to 'generate one-third the gas which can now be made. The want of a comprehensive system of internal conveyance in India having been long experienced, as well as facilities for communicating through one responsible medium between this country and internal stations in the East, the Oriental Inland Steam Company now announces arrangements having been made by it by which this desi deratum will henceforth be supplied. Parcels and mer chandise are now, it is stated, booked by this company in London for transmission to most points of India, whether on the coast or in the interior; the company undertaking to forward such goods by railway, by steam-boat, or other wise, as shippers may desire, to their several destinations, and taking proper custody of them up to the point of delivery. 'TIE OUTRAGE ON MISS JOLLY.—Several sin• gular statements have obtained circulation in connection with this case. It is said that Mrs. Connor, the owner of the cab which Curran drove on the night of the outrage, received several missives before and during the trial threaten ing her with all manner of calamities, and the heaviest ven geance of his friends, if she gave evidence against Curran. Luckily the shameful intimidation did not effect the pur pose it was intended to accomplish. It also asserted, on excellent authority, that facts have been discovered since the trial that leave no doubt of Curran's guilt. On the contrary, they arouse fresh regret's that he should have escaped—through the error of Judge O'Brien— the full penalty prescribed by the law, which is seven years' imprisonment. Another statement, and not the least im portant one that has found its way into print, is that since the conviction of Curran it has been ascertained that his assault on Miss Jolly was not the first offence of a similar character of which ho was guilty. It appears that some six years ago he was tried at an assizes held for the county of Kildare, at Naas, for the forcible abduction of a young woman, with whom disappeared a sum of about £6O. He was found guilty, and sentenced to two years' imprison ment, which he underwent. THE YELVERTON CASE AGAIN.—The Irish Times states that this case will, in a few days, be again brought prominently before the public. The exceptions taken to the charge of Chief Justice Monahan will be argued before the full Court of Common Pleas next week. Mr. Whiteside and Mr. Sergeant Sullivan will ap pear for Mrs. Yelverton, while the same counsel as before will, we understand, represent Major Yelverton. Although the arguments will be chiefly of a legal nature, they will no doubt excite considerable public interest. As regards the Scotch case, the Times learns that there is no proba bility of a decision being given in it for at least a year or more. The evidence taken last week by Major Yelverton's commission at Manchester was of such a conflicting nature that Mrs. Yelverton's advisers have decided on what in Scotch legal phraseology is termed " leafing a counter proof." This will occupy considerable time, and will pre vent any decision being given by the High Court of Session for a long time. THE CASE OF MR. MILLER.—The case of this person, who has been imprisoned 47 years for a debt which it is doubtful if he ever owed, and who still remains in cus tody in the Queen's Bench, has probably - reached our readers through the remarks which have been made by the press. Thanks to an agency which could scarcely have been better employed, a subscription is now making, which it is hoped will place in a position above penury this poor man, who has now reached his 77th year, and who, without some such assistance, would by the operation of the new Bankruptcy Act be thrown penniless on the world. Sir W. Fraser has consented to act as treasurer for any subscriptions for his benefit, which may be paid to his account at Messrs. Far quhar and Co., bankers, St. James's-street. PAPAL BRIGANDS.—An atrocious deed, which is generally attributed to personal vengeance, was committed a few days ago between Terracina, the last town in the Pope's dominions on the road to Naples, and Fondi, the first town in those of Victor Emmanuel. The diligence from Naples was approaching the frontier, when it was stopped by a band of armed men, with handkerchiefs over their faces by way of masks. They requested the conductor to indicate them three passengers whom they named, threatening to murder all in case of refusal. The three persons were an ex-employe on the Papal telegraph line, dismissed from the office by the Pope's Government, and subsequently employed in the same capacity by the director of telegraphs at Naples, and sent to a post near the frontier ; a priest named Bianchi, lately escaped from the ergastolo, or ecclesiastical prison in the Pope's dominions ; and a rich landed pro prietor—all natives of Terracina. The brigands, if such they were, detained these three captives, and sent word to Terracina by the other passengers in the diligence that they would be liberated on receipt of 1,000 (some say 1,500) scudi, rather more than £2OO. No time was lost by the relatives of those unfortunate folks in procuring the required sum ; but on the arrival of the messengers at the ap pointed spot they found the heads of the three victims ex alted on three poles by the wayside This tragedy is looked upon as a piece of local vindictive party spirit, as the agents employed were so well acquainted with the names of their victims. BIRTHPLACE OF THE LATE SIR JAMES GRAHAM. —Some of our contemporaries state that the late Sir James Graham was born at Netherby.. This is an error of which few are aware. The right hon. baronet was born at Naworth. Castle. During certain repairs or alterations at Netherby, Sir James, the first baronet, and his lady occu pied for a considerable time a portion of the border strong hold of Belted Will, and it was during this temporary residence that the interesting event to which we refer oc curred. In June, ISA when Naworth had been restored after the fire that took place four years previously, and the first rent •day dinner was held in the spacious hall, amongst the county gentlemen the last Sir James Graham was pre• sent. In the course of a speech, which embraced a variety of topics, the right hon. baronet said Naworth was dear to him, for he was born within the very walls in which they were now entertained.— Carlisle Journal. A SHAM VOTER PIINISHED.—At the Liverpool municipal election on Friday, a sailor tenderel a vote in the name of Andrew Kidd, of Denison-street, who is now in California. Suspicion being excited, inquiries were made, which resulted in the discovery that the pseudo voter was a sailor out of work, named Swan. Under the 9th section of 22 Victoria, cap. 59, the prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment.

The Duke de Gramont, who succeeds M. de Moustier at Vienna, had an audience of the Emperor of Austria on the 3d, when he pre sented his credentials as French Ambassador at Vienna." La Pattie says : "We believe we xnay state that the ordinary session of the Senate and of the Legis)ative Corps will open on the 15th of January. In this previ sion all the Ministries are actively occupied with the draughts of bills to be presented to the Cham bers during the Session. The Council of State has already received communication of the draught of the Budget for 1863."

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 7. The Hamburg and American Company's steamer Saxonia, which sailed for New York this morning, took £10,200 in specie flom England, and 113,000 f. from Havre, and a large cargo of general mer chandise. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Alhambra, sailing at 2 p.m. to-day for Lisbon, will take 533,000 in specie. FRANCE. According to a Paris letter in the Indepenclance for the expedition to Mexico England is to furnish 800 men, France 1,500 and some artillery, and Spain 5,000, she being the Power most interested, and the nearest, by the Havana, to the scene of operations. AUSTRIA. The Vienna Gazette thus announces the inter view between the Emperor and the Cardinal Pri mate of Hungaty " On Thursday last his Apostolic Majesty re• ceived in private audience the Primate of Hungary, Cardinal de Seitovsky, and expressed to him his dissatisfaction at the tenour, as well as at the publication, of the letter addressed by him to the Hungarian Chancellery in his quality of Obergespan of the Comitat of Gran." A letter in the Lloyd, of Pesth, says : " The Emperor spoke German ; the Primate re quested permission to reply in the Hungarian language. His Excellency then explained that his letter had been published without his know ledge and much to his regret. The Emperor expressed himself satisfied with this explanation, but feared that the attitude the Primate had assumed might place the other Bishops of Hungary in a position incompatible with their calling of con ciliation. The Primate replied that the Hungarian clergy combined devotion to their country with loyalty to the Sovereign and the Crown, and that it would know how to fulfil its duties towards the country and towards his Majesty. After these somewhat formal explanations, his Majesty assumed his usual familiar manner. and conversed for a long time with the Primate respecting the affairs of Hungary. The Primate asked the Emperor to give him an Adlatus, but it does not seem that the request was granted." The following are the terms in which the Vienna Gazette contradicts the assertion that the Austrian Government has received suggestions relative to its conduct with regard to Hungary and Venice : " The journals here have given currency to the reports which a Silesian journal first published, relating to counsels said to have been given to the Austrian Government by foreign cabinets on the subject of the complications which have arisen in Hungary. Everybody knows, and none better than the allied Powers alluded to, that Austria has always managed her own affairs with full and complete independence ; that the Imperial Govern ment, after maturely considering all their bear ings, rights, and interests, takes all its decisions, on the affairs of the Empire, solely from its own convictions. As Austria has always respected the independence of other Powers in the conduct of their internal affairs, to the extent of never expressing any opinion on the subject, unless consulted, it has never occurred to any foreign Government to make propositions or give counsels on the internal admi nistration of the Empire. In short, the tendency and openly proclaimed intention of the Austrian Government to place the rights and institutions of Hungary, recognised by his Majesty, in accord with the general Constitution of the Empire, in the in terest of the Hungarian and non-Hungarian pro vinces, are justly appreciated, we are convinced, by the allied and friendly Powers. Lastly, as to the negotiations which, according to a Belgian journal, a great Power intends to open, on the subject of the Italian provinces of the Empire, the late declara tions of the Pays and the Patrie show that these pretended negotiations are nothing but a news paper rumour. A new plan, for an auxiliary and reserve rudder invented by Mr. W. It. MuHey, has just been exhibited at Lloyd's, where it seems to have met general approval. It is about half the superficial area of the main rudder, oblong shaped, and formed of separate bars of copper or iron, in such manner as will allow it to twist (its action resembling that of the fin of a fish) in and out of the quarter where it is hung at an optional depth below the water line, and when net in use recessed so as to take the shape of the bottom, leaving no projection whatever. The inventor points out that for ships of war it affords especial advantages, since " it would enable the iron -cased batteries to thread their way through narrow and intricate channels that with their present means of steering they would not attempt, while in such ships as the Warrior it would not only greatly facilitate fheir powers of manceuvring, but serve as a reliable source in the event of the main one being shot away, a casualty much to be feared now that rifled cannon will be used with such precis'on, the auxiliary itself being secure and out of harm's way." • A statistical return just obtained shows that the intercourse between London and Paris is satisfactorily in creasing. The number of passengers at Boulogne from or to England has amountei to 108,758 in the first 10 months of the present year. There were 91,785 passengers in the corresponding period of 1860. Thus a difference is presented in favour of 1861 of 16,973, or 18k percent., attributable in part to increased facilities and the abolition of passports and in part to the operation of the Commercial Treaty in augmenting the traffic for business purposes. The late Mr. John Gold, a stockbroker in Dub lin, left money for the erection and endowment of a church in Rathgar, which was opened on Friday by the Rev. Mau.. rice Day. It cost £lO,OOO, and there is an endowment of £llO a year for the incumbent, besides the pew rents. The incumbent is the Rev. James Hewitt, late curate of .St. Matthias. Most of the sittings in Zion Church, to which he has been appointed, were let before it was opened. It n in w ill seat 850.

HAPPY CANADA !—The Rev. W. F. Clarke and J. H. Marling, now on a visit to this country from Canada in a joint letter published by them, say There is no Established Church in Cauada, Some vestiges remain of former endowments, but the Church of England system, with its omnipresence, legal powers, and supremacy: parliamentary government, wealth and social status, is not to bo found, nor can ever be. We are not 'Dissenters.' The law makes no invidious 4istinotion between church and church. There is no tithe, or church-rate, or parish' tf4. whatsoever." At Edinburgh the elections have turned upon a very extraordinary question, and their result has been to give the death-blow to a scheme for creating an artificial bankruptcy, in order, it was hoped, to get rid of the Annuity -tax. The Lord Advocate's Bill of 1860, which reduced the tax to nearly one-half, abolished tfie privileged exemptions, and diminished the number of the clergy, has not satis fied the voluntary agitators of the city, who, after years of negotiation for compromise, have now stood out for total repeal. A majority of the Town Council had opposed the measure in the shape of a Bill, as containing some unsatisfactory provisions, but on its becoming law they took the necessary steps for carrying it out by imposing the pre scribed assessments and signing the bonds for the clerical stipends. A section of the Council, how ever, were still disposed to resist the Act, as they had resisted the Bill, by voting that the provisions. of the statute, notwithstanding their peremptory character, should not be complied with. In Sept., the usual period for fixing the year's assessments, a resolution by Mr. Duncan APLaren, not to impose the taxes required under the Act, was lost (in a thin meeting of the Council) only by 17 to 14. This. proposal gave the keynote to the November elec tions, in which the question actually came to this, whether the town should meet its signal obliga tions under the clerical bonds. The Act prescribed that, should these bonds not be paid, recourse might. be had to "the law courts, which would appoint a. receiver of the town's revenues and property in behalf of the clergy, the city creditors, under the bankruptcy arrangement of 1838, having also the remedy ; and the only response, by way of argu ment, was that Parliament would thereby see the determination of the ratepayers, and would be com pelled to abolish the tax. Another mode of resist ance has been adopted in the refusal to pay the rates, about one -twentieth part (chiefly payable by the smaller classes of ratepayers) having this year• failed to be collected. Out of 13 wards in the city and 16 vacant seats five wards and seven seats were contested. In all these five wards the repudiation party have been defeated, and in only one—the Canongate—was there a close run. Those council lors whose seats were assailed for compliance with; the Act have been returned by majorities averag ing two to one, while those naw candidates put forward to carry out the Act were also returned by sweeping majorities. Mr. Charles Lawson, a seedsman, replaces Mr. Duncan M‘Laren in the Council without a contest, and Councillor Mood, one of the curators of the University pthonage, who declined to vote on the assessment question, has, along with Mr. Lille, been rejected by two to one. and the seats have been gained by Mr. Lorimer and. Mr. Bryson, new candidates. Taking the whole results of the elections, there is a gain of at least four to the moderate party in the Town Council, along with the gain of all the challenged seats.
