The architects of all nations arc invited to com pete foe. a work of as great importance and as great difficulty as ever fell within their province. At last, after enduring every inconvenience and in currireg the utmost ridicule, th e B r i t i s h Govern ment - has been forced and ashamed into seeking what may be called a new habitation. It is ot no use to run for peraliels to any actual amount ot private absurdity in order to do full justice to th e condition of our pres e nt p u bli c Government °lncis e . We should have to suppose something quite out. of the way, for the fact surpasses all fiction, Dr twenty principal and subordinate departments not one has the least pretensions to an office adequate either in scale or in arrangement. There is not one official residence that can be called either - dignified or cosafortable, not one suite of rooms capaciel se enou eh for an ordinary reception. In the pris e & pal suite props are necessary to pre ven t a was, troplse as fatal as that planned by Guy le asy k„ . What foreigners might suppose to be the m ee t j a ..„ port; nt office in our Government, as the centre of our naval power, is divided into two heaves three quarters of a mile apart, one of them_ being only a small section of a building, evhicki it shares with other occupants. The Government of India is in a back lane, not unfrequently under water. The other offices are scattered here, there, and every where. Intelligent Londoners of thirty years' ex perience in the ways of the metropolis would be puzzled to point them all out on the map. Some departments rent houses, a single house, or two together ; and others are so f or t una t e as t o possess the freehold of residences that still are but indif ferent private houses. The rents of who'© streets have risen because Government was hiring house after house for its oen uses. The Ordnance -office has lately encroached on the neighbouring linen draper; the Treasury has an appendage over the way in G w ydyr-house ; the Records are, or were till lately, some in a chapter-h ouse, some in a st a bl e , and some over a magaz i ne of gun powder. Meanwhile, we have g one on patching and piecing, adding a storey or afront, as husiness increased or self-respect might require. The Trea sury has been.once raised and twice fronted within the present generation. The very sanctum sane tcrum of the British Executive is a so-called street, hut really a small court of houses of the class usually devoted to lodgers, and from time imme. enorial with a large acre of rubbish before it. Meanwhile we aro consolidating offices, increasing business, multiplying clerks, accumulating papers —crowding, in fact, every room, every passage, and every shelf. At last there is no choice left ; we must find more accommodation, and do it on a anewhat better system than we have done before. It is not to be supposed, however, that what has always been difficult when taken piecemeal should be otherwise than difficult when taken altogether. In fact, a new constitution for this country would be hardly a more serious undertaking than a new set of public offices. The first object proposed for the competition of the architectural world is vast, and, we must add, rather indeterminate. It is the concentration of the principal Government offices on a site lying between Whitehall and the New Palace of West minster. The site itself is more accurately defined in the plans which accompany this invitation by a red line, which includes the Home-office, passes along the boundary ot St. James's Park to Storey's gate, along the north side of Great George-street, includes both sides of Bridge street, a large pro posed embankment of the Thames, passes along the south wall of Richmond-mews, and crosses Parliament-street, the whole of which it includes, excepting only the end of Richmond-terrace. Thus it appears that the whole of the large square bounded by Downing -street on the north, Great George-street on the south, St. James's Park on the west, and Parliament-street on the east, is doomed to destruction. So also is the rectangular space between Parliament-street, Palace-yard, the Thames, and Richmond-mews. The area is im mense, and the cost of buying up the houses, indifferent as they are, will be considerable. For our part, however, we should have been disposed to go further. Why not take the whole area compre hended in the magnificent design of Inigo Jones ? At this moment the purchase of the eight houses in Richmond-terrace, of Montagu-house, and of the three mansions in Whitehall-gardens —viz. the Marquis of Ail sa ' s , th e D u k e of Northumb erland's and Sir R. Peel's—is a mere question of move:, there being no public sentiment, and to the besk of our belief, no personal feeling likely to be offended by the purchase. With these residences Government would be able to acquire more than half as much area from the Thames. Again, after all the talk there has been about throwing open the Abbey, and after the desire so generally expressed to clear the neighbourhood of the public offices and of the Houses of Parliament from the presence of inferior buildings, no plan will be satisfactory which stops short at Great George-street, and does not go right down to the Abbey. This would in volve Westminster Hospital, the Sessions-house, and the new Stationery -office ; but, apart from the question of money, these buildings have Do claiin to preservation ; and the question of money is only a .question of time. The work is to be spread over a series of years, only it is desirable to know at once all that is to be done. We shall be charged, perhaps, with extending a scheme already expansive and indeterminate enough ; but the terms of the invitation are far More comprehensive and vague. Indeed, the y amount to a rearrangement of the whole of that part of the metropolis on both sides of the Thames, and up and dow n ever so far. " The design is also to represent any improvements which the author may suggest in the principal approaches to the New Palace of Westminster, as well as in the com munications with the Surrey side of the river Thames, especially with reference to the situation of the now Weetneinster-briege, the ulti mate position of which must be considered in con nexion with this design." We beg to submit that, in mere compassion to the foreign architects who may be tempted to spend their time till next E ister in arranging our 20 Government offices on the 350,000 superficial square feet surrounded by the rod line, that some better instructions ought to he g'ven as to the much larger objects also in con templation. When the foreign architect has been slavishly adjusting his desieri to the immediate neighbourhood be may possibly find, to his disgust, that the prize has been carried off by an English man who has included Charing-cross, Scotland yard, Abingdon-street, both banks of the Tim - nos from Hungerford-bridge to Horseferry-road, and au immense portion ot Lembeth, in his plan. He may find twat in order to make his design agree able at head-quarters he ought to have swept a'way. Westminster-bridge altogether, and thrown another across the Thawed in a straight line from Charing cross, and another opposite Lambeth Church. He may find that, little as he knew it, he was at liberty to encroach as much as he pleased on St. James's park, to surround the abbey and its college with a green field, to transplant St. Margaret's Church to the entrance of Victoria -street, and, in a word, to make any suggestion, recommended by itsgrandeur or its convenience. British architects, or perhap we should s a y, one or two favoured British arclii: teeth, may know how far they may safely go; b u t foreign architects will be apt to know nothing but what they rea d i n the terms of the invitation and what they see in the plans. They ought, we humely suggest, to be more largely or more exactly in formed. Three designs are invited ; the first w e ha ve described, the second and third are respectivel for a Foreign-office an d a War-office, both t y o be included in the r ec t angular space between Downing-street and Charles-street, the block of buildings between King-street and Parliament street being marked fo r d estruct i on. A paragraph in our columns has already stated the immense size of the buildings wanted and th e i r various require mews. They are to to commenced as scion as pe s . sible on ground now occupied by streets of a l e , class, and without interfering with public Cuiinees. When they are finished'it will only remain to re move into them the sinif and the materiel of th e two depart meals. The Foreign office is to feet: Se l a y 8 -park, and the War office to occupy the lees eligible Position in the noisy thoroughfare. The seecitications are sufficiently exact as to the purpos e , number size, and distribution of the rooms. Per haps, numb©, some hint might have been given as to the style-- w lien of th e T reasury front, heth er it is to follow the florid Ita or some .other of the numerous and discordant examples in the neigh bonrhood. Again, are the two offices to bear any resemblanc e t o one another Beyond the areas of the rooms, which are given the architect is left to make out by a difficult calesil in what ratio the two offices are to .dividethe a g ." rectangle ; and, it i s quit'© possible that the tvrX i s cful designs, '` by different hands, may not exactly fit the spa e. It is very desirable that every doubt should be re moved, and that all th e compelhere should 4t:lrt perfectly fair. There are but twe many •t , of professional heartenuninge prod ueed 7 'ns •11. • Ity the pi - coin of private information, or at least of greatcr licence being given to one architect th an another. Thus far there is DO sign. of favouri ism; ands on the wise principle nimium ye crede colori, no orn amen _ tal drawings are to be allowed —only models on the same scale as the plans. This looks like justice, But justice itself, in its sternest moods, le Often defeated, an d in no trials so much as i n those of architecture. Se, without meaning any o ff ence, we only entreat that there may be no mistake as to the nature of the designs allowed to come into competi tion.-. Times. (From the Times.) A - statement signed by 38 prisoners at. Cayenne, 31 of whom are political ones, recently appeared in our colum ns . A tardy reply to this document was published a day or two ago in the. Moniteur, and now M. Louis Blanc has sent us a rejoinder. In their statement the prisoners describe themselves as undergoing sufferings which the world at large would certainly think out of proportion for political offences. We need not dwell upon the picture. Everybody knows what Cayenne is—that its equi torial latitude and rank vegetation combined give it a climate specially noxious to European consti tutions. In this climate political prisoners ofFrance describe themselves as "compelled to labour eight hours a-day in marshy forests, from which pestilen tial vapours are continually rising ;" they add that they have had " no proper food, no garments, no shoes, no wine since February last ;" and that in this lack of wholesome food their animal strength is gradually sinking under the pressure of the toil and the climate. Now, we must profess small political sympathy with the general class of French political prisoners or refugees. They aro confessors for a cause with which we cannot agree ; they are violent, head strong men—theorists who haveadepted an irnprs e tailcitaiblrvehostandard of h uman r i g h ts an d soc i a l equ i ty, would upset the whole existing frame work of society in the wild attempt to put it in force. The Government of Louis Napoleon repre sents, as against such men, the simple principle of smoecniatlforordmeroaWyeennhe navoyelgiven publicity to the state upon that maxim of com mon fairness and humanity on which we should act in any other case --that complainants who formally state their case have a right to a "leaflet , ' Bat, small as our political sympathy with such nen is, we cannot but remind L suis Napoleon that, consi dering the particular line which he is taking on Europ ean questions thi now , s is ilot a case which he can altogether overlook. He is now formally engaged, in junction Ilia' our own Government, in au attempt to induce the King of Naples to treat his subjects with jestiee and political otfoiders with humanity. He is inter fering in the internal affairs of Naples, with a view of changing the grinding and tyrannising policy of that Government, and bringing in a more liberal and indulgent :system, especially as relates to the persons and parties suspected of politic a l disaffec tion and of aspirations after freedom. But, such being the case, he must be prepared to hear people saying that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones, and must not take it amiss if, when a distinct charge of inhumanity in the treat ment of political offenders is brought against his Government, people are waiting either for a denial of the fact from him, or for an alteration of the sys tem. It is very possible that things may not b e quite at Cayenne a s th ese men state. It is also pos sible that, even if they are so, the fault may hitherto have been one of oversight on the part of the French Government rather than of intentional and deliberate harshness. The state of things is a dis tant penal settlement may perhaps be somewhat slow in reaching head-quarters, and a regimen of severity which had at its beginning the excuse of a i real or an apparent necessity for in terrorem pur poses, or which, at any rate, represented a critical and exciting juncture when asperity was not un natural, may have been continued in simple care lessness and forgetfulness. But, whichever of these two be the explanation of the Cayenne statement, this statement ought to be met, and met in a more open and decisive way than it is iu the rep), in the .3.loniteur which is ambiguous and obscure, half denying siel half admitting the facts of the etatc meta.

These men whom the French is working to death at Cayenne—if this statement be true—may be dangerous and mammal le wen : still they are visionaries and enthusiasts rather than criminals, and it must be admitted that the particular act for which they were transported was, at any rate, an act of championship in behalfgoafinasnt existing and established Government, and a a new and at the time an usurping one. They are hardly proper objects, then, of extreme judicial venge a nce. At any rate, when King Ferdinand hears of the Cayenne charge he will certainly have a right to ask for an explanation of it before lie admits the French Government as a proper and suitable intercessor for political offenders in his BALLINASLOE FAIR. The total number of sheep sold. on Saturday, the first and principal day of the fair, was, according to the re turn at the custom gap, 70,341, or about 10,000 more than on the first day last year. There was a consider able decline in the prices at 9 or 10 o'clock from those obtained about two hours earlier. The increase in prices over last year is attributable in a great measure to the improved condition of the sheep. SUNDAY, Oct. s.—During the confusion attendant on getting off the sheep from the fair-green yesterday after noon, a man named William Carroll received a violent blow on the head from a shepherd's craok. He was re moved to the police barracks, where every assistance was rendersl by Dr. Burke, but the matter assumed a serious aspect about 6 o'clock, and he died at 11 o'clock p.m. It it not known whether the blow was given accidentally or wilfully. The inquest will be held rrow (Won - a:). SUNDAY, 4 P m —Up to this hour the arrivals of horses for tn-morrow's fair are .both numerous and apparently of a first-rate description. Sellers and buyers continue to roll in, and it is expected that the show of bents and business will be touch bettor lbws last year, should the weather continue propitious. " I believe with you, the British public, although liable to deception, in the end judges a just judgment of the merits of her servants, and I wiil conclude with one more short extract from the same article in the Times newspaper of Sept. 4, That no such oratory as has been lately listened to should be allowed to blind the public to facts which less partial communities daily comment on. While in the eyes of both allies and enemies our ar.ny was reduced to a contingent by the incapacity of its chiefs, no provincial speeches at home can peinia nently rase the character of the men who thus worked its ruin, and lowered the national fame.'—l have the honour to remain, my lord, your lordship's obedient servant, " GIiORGE STUCLEY BUCK.

Mr. Beadon must have that witness, and would again adjourn the case till Wednesday ne::t. ART MANUFACTURE EXHIBITION IN EDINBURGII. An exhibition will be opened within the National Gallery, Edinburgh, about the middle of December, by the Art Manufacture Association—an association just established in Scotland, under the presidency of the Duke of Hamilton, for the purpose of encou raging the application of art to objects of utility and ornament. The association has in view to diffuse a general taste for household art, and to encourage the artist manufacturer to meet the popular demand it seeks to create. The society is likewise an art union, and at its annual exhibitions purchases will be made of works of art and Inef.t, which will be balloted for among the subscribers, who pay one guinea each. It is also intended that each subscriber shall obtain a prize, and in the diver sity of objects to he soh cted the objection to other art unions, in distributing the same works to all, will be obviated. The association "look especially to the encou ragement of design and perfection of execution, as applied to bronzes, carvings in wood, metal or ivory, to porcelain, glass, textile fabrics, and other materials susceptible of receiving the aid of high art in their productions." All the,e brarichea of art manufacture will be represented in the exhibition. While the East India Company and others are to display the productions of foreign and colonial art the exhibition will chiefly illustrate the art manufactures of the united kingdom. A large col lection of jewellery will be shown by the chief London house., including Messrs. Hunt and Itoskell, Messrs. Phil;ps Brothers, &c. The porcelain, china, and the finer productions of the Potteries will be exhibited by Messrs. Minton and Co., &e. Toe electro.eype, electro plate, and bronze manufactures of Birmingham will con : pe e t about to oi be pu at i s h t erit e stitute a leading feature in the exhibition, which w ill also include the productions in ornamental glass of Scot tish and English houses, the finer shawls of P a i s l ey, Spitalfields ' &a., lace, tapestries, an d ot h er textile fabrics, and cabinet work and oth er h ousehold decora tion. ll articles er ywthi intended tbeefeon therefore dprf openedoory prove o the exhibition i n a to Edinburgh between the I s t an d 10 th of December, of the ub principal l e ltith.

The second exhibition is to be held in Glasgow, where an in fluential committee is being under formedthe presidency of Sir Archiba!d Alison. Already the society has ap pointed about 300 agents throughout the kingdom and the colonies, and has attracted large body of subsoil- hers. WIIAT IS TO BECOME OF ENGLAND? This is a question very generally asked on the Conti nent, and which even in England cannot but agitate many a heart. But apart from either the speculations of rivalry for the apprehensions of pa,trrotisur, there is a third class of observers with whom the question is of still higher and more universal interest. With every one (too few, alas, in number) who still professes any respect for the liberties of mankind and the dignity of human nature, there cannot be a subject of more anxious, more vital solicitude, than the futurefalo of England, hitherto the greatest example and guarantee of both. We cannot conceal front ourselves that there prevails at this mo ment in the world a general opinion unfavourable to the security of this great nation, to the duration of her glo rious institutions, and even to the soundness of her po/i -tical morality. The unbounded confidence, the legitimate envy, the passionate admiration which she had inspired for more than a century to all enlightened and generous minds, have imperceptibly made room for very different sentiments. While the ancient and faithful partisans of England, and of all that she represents in the world, seem less at their ease, here inveterate adversaries, increased and encouraged by the accidents of the time, are an nouncing her decline and anticipating her fall. In this point, as indeed everywhere else, the partisans of d e • spotism and the zealots of democracy have a secret and instinctive alliance; they concur in the same wishes, and would applaud the same catastrophe. Neither can forgive England fur having been so long an insurmount able bulwark against both these extrernece her monar chy, powerful and limited, has been too practical a con tradiction to the Mee logic, the false theories, .rtrl the passionate ambition of the absolo.tists. Her ever-in creasing strength, her unbounded and unabused liberty, and her unchecked and unrivalled prosperity, supply the most conclusive arguments, as well as the most effectual resistance, to the savage equality of Socialism on the one I hand, and on the other to that clumsy despotism which has no other expedient for preserving a people from anarchy and terror than the depriving thorn of their liberties and th e i r r i ghts. Both these parties unite in I envying her the glory of offering to surrounding nations her example as a refuge against either of their shameful alternativo3.— The Count de Montalembert's Political , Future of England. and Co Diss Bank, Diss—Oakes, Fincham, and C 0...

The the charge by i ssu i ng to the world a sort of defence of her opinion, based upon certain souvenirs connected with the Princess Eleanore while she was an inmate of her ester. blishment. One of the first stories told of 'the young Princess is the circumstance of bee having- taken the crucifix belonging to the altar of the Infirmary to stir the embers on the hearth ; and when reprov ed for such levity and impiety by the sick girl whom sb e bad been appointed to watch, she had seized the smow2dering mains of 'the holy emblem, and lighting em at the flame shefhad kindled in 'the chimney, made what the children , denominate a ruban de feu, by awil 'ging the crucifix above her head, and causing the spar 'cs to fly thence in all directions, while she laughed ht artily to behold the terror of the per sick girl hiding her head beneath the bed-clothes, and muttering her pat ernosters while she lay trembling from head to foot. The attack and parry once begun, we scarcely know where the affair will end. The Prince de S., who affects' to treat the whole affair as a oelusion of benighted superstition, threatens, nevertheless, to screen his departed wife from the evil tongues of gossips and scandal-rnongars, and from any report of the kind which shall be uttered con cerning her. The controversy, as you may suppose, has aroused the prophets of the new faith in magicand divinas tion, who, during the last winter, managed to asoemble amongst their disciples almost the whole of that extraordi. nary milieu of philosophy and genius with which P.sris is so:full. Eliphas Levi and his sect, with M. Maldigny and others, have all been aroused by the incident; while M. de Mircourt, whose firm belief in the physical influence of evil spirits has brought him so often before the public, promises us a treatise on the subject in .next month's R evue . It is evident neith er t h e d octr i ne o f Urhain Grandier, nor the malignity of Laubardemont, is dead amongz.t us ;and the world may yet be gratified by the spectacle of a trial and condemnation for the abetting of witchceaft, and the holy superior may be brought to the stake f or no t h av i ng given up the y oung . Princess Eleanore to the authorities of the Church, in order that the refractory young Chrie. tiara might have undergone the usual forms and exorcism by the Bishop of Bayeux, who it seems has a peculiar knack at this art, and practises it frequently. lI EL I3I 11 ) 1 1 ? . *ith, Th, 411 Da It eh t At Ep,r 111 0 4 : b); OM( -........... A ~tem THIS SUNDIY BINDS I.V TfIE PA RA S. A meeting of the subscribers and donors in aid of Sunday music in the parks was held at the Cranbourn Hotel, St. Martin's lane, last night, for the purpose of receiving a report of the proceedings of the past season, and a balance sheet of receipts and expenditure; Ricbd. Moore, Eq., in the cha,:r. The CHAIRMAN explaiutd that the object of the meet ing wad to lay before the subscribers an account of the money expended for bands in the parks during the last season, arr.l he believed that all would be satisfied they had discharged their duty to the best of their ability. The SEORTARY then read a minute of the last meeting of the committee, a report of their proceedings fir the season, and some letters of apology from gentlemen who approved of the objects of the committee, but regretted they could not attend the meeting. The report in the first instance adverted to the liberty given by the Go vernment, in the first instance, to have hats play in the parks, and their subsequent withdrawal, by order of Lord Palmerston, at the instance of the Archbishop of Canterbury. A deputation then waited on his lord ship, requesting he would reconsider the question, but to ne effect, and they then formed themselves into a committee to collect subscriptions, for the purpose of procuring private bands. The amount received as sub scriptions and donations -was 2291. 18s. 40. ; for the sale of programmes in Regent's-park, 1751. 13s. 2d., and Victoria-park, 591. Is. 91., making in all 564/. 13s. 31d.

Bs. 6d. to the band in Victoria-park, leaving a balance in hand of 781. Cs. 4d. On the last Sunday the band played in the Regent's-park, there were 200,000 persons present. The report was put and carried unanimously. TIIE ISLE OP WranT.—The towns at the back of the lile of Wight are rapidrigrowing into. mportance.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a special Court was held for the purpose of considering a report of the London Corporation Bill Committee upon the subject of the tax upon freedoms, and that of abolishing the office of compurgatore. There wa3a very large attendance of members of both Courts, PORTRAIT OF THE LORD MAYOR. The LORD MAYOR—This is the first Court that has been held since I find that my portrait has been placed within its walls. Allow me to express to you my grate ful acknowledgments for the high compliment which you have paid me, and to express a wish that my life may for many years be spared, and that my hun.ble efforts may be of service to the interests of the Corporation. THE NEWLY-ELECTED SHERIFFS Upon the motion of Mr. Aldt-trnian WIRE, the newly elected Sheriff+, Messrs. Mechi and Keats, were invited to take their seats on the upper bench of the court. The Sheriffs took their seats accordingly, amid cheer ing. FAFEDOU OF THE CITY-ABOLITION OF THE TAX Alderman HALE brought up a report from the London Corporation Bill Commit-zee, and moved that it be adopted. The report recommended that upon applica tion to the Chamberlain's Office, on certain days and hours, all persons entitled will be admitted to the free dom of this city by redemption, without the payment of any fee. _ _ _ Deputy HALE said that the subjects treated of in the report had met with the most serious attention on the part of the committee, who were unanimously of opinion that the Court would act wisely in at once tadertaki, g the payment of the five-shilling fee. If that course were to be adopted, a committee might be able to make an arrangement with the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to future proceedings. The committee thought that the freedom of the City should be obtained for that class of persons who contributed towards its rates, and whose names were upon the Parliamentary Register, and who would only have to go to the Cham berlain's office and enrol their names. (dear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON said he never expected to have seen the time when the freedom of tho City of London was not worth the paper upon which it was written. Ile agreed with the report only to a certain extent. Deputy Sofa strongly recommended the Court to be unanimous in receiving the report, which be Con ceived to be the first step in the ladder of reform. Mr. ROWE said he considered the present proceed ing a step in the right direction. Deputy BOW ER expressed h i case lf s t ron gly in favour of the motion, Deputy DARIN' moved—" That the Chamberlain be which was p u t, and carried unanimously. directed to ad m i t to t h e free d o:iu o f th e City with ou t forth ,r order f rom t hi s Court, all persons making ap plication f o r th a t purpose w b ose names are on t h e Parliamentary Register for the city of London, in con formity with the report of the Corporation Bill Cern mittee, and the order of the Court thereon." After a'few observations from Mr. BLAKE and Mr. PERKINS, the former supporting, and the latter op. posing the motion, it was put and carried. THE LORD MAYOR ELECT. The Lord Mayor read a letter from the Lord Mayor Elect, in which the latter expressed his willingness to take upon himself the duties of the Mayeralty. VACANCY IN THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The LORD MAYOR suggested that the vacancy should be filled up with the least possible delay. Thursday, the 16th, was fixed upon as the day for the considera tion of the subject. The Court adjourned.
