In the general discount market the supply of bills on cffer is still sufficiently large to create activity, and, as the demand is sustained, full rates are still required by the bankers and brokers for the busi ness they transact. Owing, however, to their negotiation of superior descriptions of commercial paper at 3'4 per cent., the inquiries at the Bank of England continue on a very moderate scale. The authorities, it is thought, will soon be induced to consider the expediency of a reduction in -their minimum quotation. A further sum of 4 '55,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The failure was announced yesterday afternoon of 'Messrs. Jonathan Branders, merchants, of Ab• church-lane, • Friday next has been appointed for a special settlement in the shares of the Anglo Brazilian Gold Mining Company, which are not to be marked in the official lists. Daring the last few days there has been very little business transacted in the Foreign and Colo nial Produce Markets. The operations in tea have been suspended until the public sales, which com menced to-day. Sugars have been in moderate request at full rates, while there has been a fair in quiry for coffee at slightly enhanced prices for good end fine descriptions. Rice continued dull, as also tallow, which has been 425. 31 per cwt. for present delivery, and 41s, during the last three months of the year. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, th© French 3 per Cent. Itentes Were 68f, 60c.—very firm. In order to facilitate the repairs which have now been going on at the Stock Exchange for some time, the committee have resolved to close the esta blishment on Saturday next. This will give the members and their employes the benefit of a holiday. There is not the slightest vitality in the market for Consols, which are neglected by speculators as well as the monetary classes. Despite the continued inactivity, however, there is a buoyant tone, and although a retrograde movement of per cent. is sometimes experienced, the general tendency, as for some time past, is in an upward direction, a favourable effect being produced by monetary prospects, and, in fact, the entire absence of any circumstances calculated to induce depression. Consols to-day have only been dealt in to a very small extent; the present quotations are 931 for money, and 93a a for the 9th inst., and 93i 91 for the October account. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have improved to 93a i; the New 24-- per Cent. Annuities are also higher, at '77, and the 5 per Cent ditto are LlO7, and the 30 Years ditto, 151. Exchequer Bills are again marked ls. dis. to 2s. prem. India descriptions remain without much alteration ; the 5 per Cents. are 1081 1, the Enfaced ditto, 108, and the Bonds, 16s. prem. Several important changes have occurred in the Foreign Market, and business is active. Mexican have risen I, to 391 1. Greek are better, at 371 1. The Coupons ares higher, at iBl- 1. Portuguese Loan improved to 49-T, 501; Spanish Passive to 348 35k. The Certificates are firm at 138 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, at 70 Y ; and the Consolides, have risen 4, viz., to 52i.1 1 4. The Confederate Loan, however, is 2 per cent, lower, at 27 to 25 discount. In the other descriptions the alterations have been mostly devoid of any special feature of interest. Egyptian 7 per Cents, have been marked 104 for the first, and 1001 f)r the second issue ; Russian 5 per Cents., 921 93; Venezuelan 3 per Cents., 25 4 —a rise of 1 per cent.—and the 4 per Cents. have advanced to 581 591. Business has also been ne gotiated in Brazilian 5 per Cents. at 104 103 ; and Italian 5 per Cents. at 72 In the Railway Share Market there has been a very limited amount of business negociated, and prices have in most instances shown less firmness, Great Eastern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Midland have each receded 55., and South Eastern, 108. The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained Without material variation. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally are at enhanced quotations. Bank of Egypt have im proved 55.; Imperial Ottoman, 55.; London and County, ss. ; International Financial shares are quoted 101 ; General Credit and Finance, 44Hudson Bay Company, 4 . 1- ; and Egyptian Trad ing Company, 3/ 1.

Holmes, in addition, stated that the prisoner handed to him a pair of gold ear drops she had taken out of the desk, On searching the fireplace he found the remains of an ivory handle, partly consumed.

A serious misunderstanding has arisen between tbo assembly of German jurists and the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt. It would appear that already this year before the assembling of the lea►ned body some differences arose respecting the receptio❑ which they would meet with from the Government of Hesse-Darmstadt. Whilst in Dresden two years since they were received by the King through the medium of a royal commission ; whilst at Vienna in the previous year an archduke was instructed by the Emperor to receive them in a most cordial and hospitable manner, the offer made by the Minister of Justice of Hesse-Darmstadt to greet the council in the name of the ruler of the country dots not appear to Lave been considered suitable by them. It would seem, however, that an understanding was arrived at, and it was expected that on the visit of the council of jurists to Darmstadt, where a performance at the theatre had been arranged in their honour, Prince Alexander of Hesse would re ceive them officially. This hope was not, however, fu.filled, and hence arose an extraordinary scene, and a painful state of feeling in all concerned. Ti3e Frankfort Journal gives the following account of the matter : " A sad misunderstanding occurred at Darmstadt on Thursday last. The council of jurists, who were invited to visit the theatre by the Grand Duke, left the house in a body. Prince Alexander wished to receive the standing committee and the officials of the assembly of jurists in the name of the Grand Duke; but, as the train was a heavy one, it was unavoidably delayed, and, unfortunately, there was no attempt at any reception of tho deputation, which represents the jurisprudence of entire Ger many. The gentlemen, therefore, proceeded to the palace in groups, where, to their astonishment, they found the doors closed, and a servant informed them that the Prince was not at home, and that he had awaited their arrival, but had felt himself obliged to proceed to the opera to receive the princes who had in the meantime arrived at the theatre. This intelligence was circulated through the crowd of lawyers as they proceeded to the theatre, while many who had not been made aware of the circum stances had already arrived there. Of the Congress of Princes, the following amongst other sovereigns were present at the theatre :—The Kings of Bavaria and Hanover, the Electoral Prince of Hesse, the Duke of Nassau, and the Crown Prince of Wurtem burg. The news of the non-reception of the jurists quickly became circulated throughout the house, and immediately on the fall of the curtain at the close of the first act, and as the princes were about to retire from their seats to enjoy a promenade in the lobby, a person arose and announced that as no reception had been accorded to the permanent de putation they could not visit the house, and that on this account the assembly of jurist's agreeing with them would leave the theatre. This they did, and the princes were left to face the empty benches. Th© council of jurists soon reassembled at the Casino, where they had ordered a supper to be pre pared after the termination of the performance; and here they were joined by the ladies, who sided with them in their secession movement. The ex citement here was very great until Privy Councillor Wachter, the president of the council of jurists, gave the explanation as stated above. It was also communicated to the members that the Minister of Justice, M. Lindelof, had given an explanation to the effect that the prince awaited them at the theatre, to receive them there instead of at the rail way station. The public feeling on the matter is somewhat strong, and is increased by the circum stance that the tickets issued for the front row boxes on Thursday evening were recalled, as the seats were required by the Court for the accommodation of the princes." BOW-STREET. Torn EFFECTS OF GOING TO A RAFFLE.—James Dacy was placed at the bar, charged with violently assaulting the police. Police-constahle F S 7, said about quarter to two he was on duty near the Turnstile when the prisoner came through the court, and without the slightest provocation struck him a blow on the eye and knocked him down, the prisoner also falling. He got up and seized the prisoner, when a violent struggle ensued and eventually he was thrown down, when four of the prisoner's companions began kicking him in the most savage manner. Ho continued his hold of the prisoner notwithstanding the ill-treatment, when a gentleman in the crowd came forward and rendered him assistance. The prisoner's friends, heating the police were approaching, ran off. Alfred Button, 61, Theobald's• road, said he was coming down Holborn and heard a lout cry of " Police," and pro ceeding to the spot from whence the cries proceeded, he found the constable being ill-treated by tour or five ruffluts, companions of the prisoner, who made cll. He asisted the constable to secure the prisoner, and with the aid of another constable he was conveyed to the station-house. Prisoner—Why, the constable was the one as was drunk. I'd been to a raffle, so I was sober enough, Pm certain of it. He kicked me about the legs, and then we had a struggle, and we both went down. I was quite sure I was not drunk. Mr. Henry—You are sure of that ? Prisoner—Oh yes. Constable—He was drunk, your worship. Prisoner—l wasn't; you was. I'd been to a raffle for a friend, who had had a misfortune. Don't believe him, as he's telling falsehoods. He struck me first, and of course I hit him again. That accounts for us going to the ground. Mr. Henry—Whether you were drunli T or sober would make but little difference. lam only sorry I cannot send you to prison for a considerable time. I shall not allow you the option of paying a fine, but I ccaumit you for one month's hard labour in the House of Correction. ATTEMPTING TO COMMIT SUICIDE.—A raiiclle-aged man, named Kenning, was placed at tile bar, charged with attempting to poison himself. Police-constable P 17 said he was called to the residence of the prisoner in Lascelles-place, and there found him suffering from the effects of poison. Two surgeons were in attendance, and after much trouble the effects of the poison were counteracted, and the prisoner was conveyed to the workhouse till he had perl'ec;ly recovered. Mr. Henry—What made you take the poison ? Prisoner—l had a quarrel, and I was so much excited that I did not know what I was about. lam very sorry now. Mr. Henry—l should advise you to govern yourself a little better. Was it an excitement occasioned by drink ? The prisoner's wife here stepped forward, and having admitted that both she and her husband had rather hot tempers, said she was certain he would not repeat his folly if he was discharged. Mr. Henry, having cautioned the prisoner, ordered him to be discharged. MARLBOROUGH.ST.REET. BURGLARY.—Thomas Clark, a lad, described as of no home nor occupation, was charged before Mr. Tyrwliitt with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mr. James Harrison, landlord of the Sun. Tavern, Noel-street, Wardour-street, and stealing several articles belonging to Mr. Harrison and a lodger of his named Walker. Sergeant George Bentley, 13 C, deposed that about half-, past four o'clock this morning he was in a court in Noel street, when he saw a light in the back kitchen of the Sun Tavern, one of the shutters of the kitchen window having been taken down. He tried the door in the court leading to the kitchen, and finding it unfastened, he walked in and said, " Who is there." There was no answer, but on look ing about be found the prisoner in the water-closet with his shoes off. The prisoner said, "It is all right, lam the son of the landlord," and on asking him where his father was, ho said he was in bed, and went up stairs with him (the sergeant) to show him where his father slept, but could not find the room for a time, and when he fixed on it it turned to be the room of a young man. The prisoner then said he remembered which room it was, that it was down stairs, and then slipped behind him and bolted away into Oxford-street, but ho followed him and brought him back, and on searching the kitchen he found on the floor a quan tity of knives and forks and wearing apparel placed ready for removal. On searching the prisoner at the station he found in his possession only two lucifer matches, and on making an examination of the premises he found that the prisoner had got over a low wall in the court and forced out a panel of the door, which led from the back parlour to the area. Mr. Harrison raid the prisoner was formerly his potman. On. the previous night he (Mr. Harrison) fastened up the house securely. The panel of the door was in its place, but was cracked. The whole of the articles produced, with th e exception of a great coat which belonged to a lodger, were his property and of the value of about 30s. Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prisoner making no defence, committed him for trial. WESTMINSTER. TILL MAGISTRATES AND THE POLICE.—Mary Ann Frazer, a woman of the town, was charged with the follow ing disgraceful conduct : Police-constable Chant, 282 B, said that he was attracted by a noise at 4 o'clock this morning, in the King's-road, Chelsea, and on going there found the defendant. She was partly intoxicated, and was walking up and down in front of a cab rank, with her clothes pulled up to her waist, and was, in addition to this disgraceful conduct, using very obscene and disgusting language. He took her into cus tody, and she repeated it all the way to the station. Defendant said, "I assure your worship that all this statement against me is untrue, and I entreat you to inves tigate it. I was quietly proceeding down the road, after having taken some tea, when this constable came and asked me what I did there, telling me that that was not my beat, and I had no business there. He then laid hold of me and pushed me, and took me to the station. I was perfectly sober, and had done nothing whatever to deserve such con duct towards me. Mr. Arnold—Then all this statement about your expos ing yourself in front of tho cab rank is untrue. Defendant—Believe me, sir, it is perfectly untrue, and it is quite as untrue that I used obscene language. Police•constable Chant—There is a policeman here who heard her. — A constable was called, but merely proved an ejaculation of a not very uncommon character among low people, which he alleged she uttered in complaining that be was hurting her. The Clerk—Did you hear any other language ? Witness—No, I did not. Mr. Arnold---Is the inspector here who took the charge at the station ? ................._ _ Inspectot Holden—He is not. Mr. Arnold—ls the supernumerary man here P Inspector Holden—He is not. Mr. Arnold—Then I shall discharge the prisoner, and shall mark the sheet that my reason for that course is that there is no one from the station. I have repeatedly taken occasion to p o i n t ou t the necessity of the inspector or super numerary man being present, and have marked the sheet to denot e th a t t h ey were no t. I don't know whether th ese sheet s are ever laid before the comm issioners, o r w h et h er a nything I say may be thought worthy of a t t ention, but I must re p eat, t h at there i s t h e gre atest necessity for one of these officers being present. In the present ewe there is on the part of the defend2nt a most positive denial of the charge, and in a tone and m a n n er which, I must say, cer tainly l oo k s muc h like truth, awl, in order to fully inv e s ti gate the ca se , it i s necessary that the cf fi cer w ho had the charge, or some on e present', should bo here to state what took place. D e f en d ant is discharged. Defendant ( dropping down on her knees) exclaimed, "Thank you, sir. Y ou have done justice to me." THAMES. A POLICE CONSTXtLE Iti3OBBED IN MS OWN HOUSE. Papps, !Was Epps, a married woman, aged 33 years, was b roug h t before Mr. Woolrych, charged with pair o f ear -drops, sundry papers, stealing a ma h ogany writing desk containing £3 7s. 61 , a and ether property be longilig to john Holm es , a po li ce -consta b le, N o. 202 H. The pr osecutor, an old police-officer, who is very much respected for hi s c i v il ity and the firm and temperate man ner he h as executed the duties of his office, said he was dwelling with his fully at N o . 17, Gl ouces t er - s t ree t, Com mercial-road, East. The prisoner had lodged in the same house for some time. On Saturday afternoon last his wife said she had lost her writing desk, that it had suddenly disappeared from their room. It contained 3 sovereigns, 3 half-crowns,a pairofgold ear - drops,other articles and sundry papers and receipts. Ho had a suspicion the desk had not gone out of the house. He questioned the prisoner about it, and she said he was quite welcom e to search her room. He did so, and she gave him app aren tl y every poss ib le facility for doing so—removed chairs and tables, took the counterp no, sheets, and blankets off her bad, and turned over the pillows and bolster. He could not find the desk. Prisoner--It was in my room all the time—it was indeed. Holmes proceeded—l asked her if she had any idea who had robbed him of his desk, and she said, " No, I have not, Mr. Holmes—l hope you don't think it's me, Search Prisoner--lne deck was in my r oom a ll t h e time, believe I did so with no better su ccess. me it was. Witness—l asked her if she had seen anybody in the house. She said, no one. Ho informed hi s inspector what ' had taken place, and he said " Your desk is in the house still." I was convinced it was so, and directed my wife to watch the prisoner's conduct and actions. Yester day afternoon I determined to make another search in the prisoner's room, and she said, "You can find the desk now, Mr. Holmes, and on turning over the things I did find my desk between the bed and the mattress. It had beta broken open and was empty. The lock was forced. The prisoner—l opened it with a knife. Holmes—l asked the prisoner how she came to rob me of ray desk, and she replied, " because I wanted money." I " You ought to be ashamed of yourself,lKoanse when evt-r you wanted money I let you have some." She than took two soyereizae from he - i; bogicnt, and said, "Here is BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY.

The following petition to the Queen has been recently sent by the British Association for procuring an amend ment in convict discipline : To the Queen Most Excellent Majesty. The humble Petition of your Majesty's faithful sutjects, the Association established in Bristol and the West of England for obtaining an alteration in convict discipline, Showeth—That towards the close of last year much alarm was created throughout the country by the general increase of crime, and in particular by an increase of crimes of violence against the person. That in the month of December last your Majesty was pleased to authorise and appoint certain commissioners to make diligent and full inquiry into the operation of the two acts of Parliament, passed respectively in the years 1853 and 1857, commonly called "The Ticket-of-Leave Acts." That the said Royal Commissioners have lately presented to your Majesty their report upon the matters into which they were commanded to inquire. That the said report contains many suggestions for im proving the treatment of convicts sentenced to penal servi tude, some of which, in the present state of the law, cannot be carried into effect, but must await the sanction of the Legislature; others enter too much into detail to justify us in occupying your Majesty' s a tt en tion with them; while in certain others we do not feel ourselves a bl e t o concur. That, passing over these three classes of suggestions, w humbly crave your Majesty's leave to invite your royal consideration of the following most important and valuable recommendations : First—That remission of punishment should henceforth beobtained only by strenuous industry, combined with good conduct, and should no longer be the consequence of mere abstinence from misbehaviour in prison. On this head the Commissioners remark " That the re gulations now in force in England seem to us to be need lessly complicated, and to have the fault that they do not hold out to convicts a partial remission of their punishment as a reward to be earned by good conduct and industry, but assume that this remission will be granted unless more or less of the proffered advantage should be forfeited, in conse quence of the convicts h a vi ng failed to deserve it. " " The distincti o n b e t ween th is system and that (adopted in Ireland) of making whatever remission of punishment is allowed to a convict something which he must eau, we consider to be one of great importance." Second—Your Majesty's Co mmissioners further recom mend that the treatment of the convict should commence with a period of separate confinement, monotonous labour, and low diet, after which he should be permitted to raise himself by industry and good conduct from class to class, each class being kept in complete separation from all the others, and not exceeding in number two or three hundred. Third—That having earned his ticket-of-leave and ob tained his discharge thereon, he should find himself under the supervision of proper officers until the expiration of the sentence passed upon him at his trial. Fourth—That such supervision while (as in Ireland) it will furnish a refuge to the well-conducted ticket-of-leave man against unfounded charges and suspicions, will hold him to strict responsibility ; and in the event of his break ing the condition on whien his ticket was granted, will be come the means whereby he will be again returned to pri son, there to undergo, in whole or in part, the remainder of his sentence. That your petitioners humbly venture to express their belief that the changes in the discipline of convicts which your Majesty's Commissioners have in these four r,com mendations suggested will materially augment the security of the public, by stimulating convicts to labour in the task of self-reformation, by destroying the impunity with which unreformed or relapsed convicts when discharged in Eng land on tickets-of-leave now fall baCk into their evil courses ; and by giving facilities for id ent if y i ng cr i m i na l s who have been already convicted, thus insuring them a long and severe sentence as the result of a second verdict of guilty. petitioners, do th ere f ore humbly pray Ife, your Majesty's that your M a j e sty w ill b e graciou s l y p l eased to direct mea sures to be taken for promptly conferring on your people the advantages which ue confidently expect will flow from the improvements herein set forth. .And your petitioners will ever pray, c s :e . (Signed) DIICIE, President of the Association. M. D. HILL, Chairman of the Comraitte. _- - Sir Georg,7e Grey has written to the secretary of the ass° - elatio u,aeknowleciging the receipt of the petition, and stating that it has been laid before her Majesty, who received it Very graciously, A Penn 3 for the Waiter. Dr. Johnson was fond of maintaining that, on an almost incredibly small sum per annum a man might live very respectably in London, though he admitted that this reconciliation of cheap living with respecta bility could not be effected without some incokveni enees, one of which was the penalty of avoiding fashionable society except on " clean shirt days." It was not a mere theory with the doctor, but an art which the brave fellow had been compelled to reduce to practice when he came up to town with his friend Garrick, and began to write for the booksellers. For a few coppers, Johnson told Boswell, he used to dine at a tavern, at the same table with intelligent and well informed men, who could afford, and who paid for, better dinners than his. " And, sir," he added, "I was the best served, for they only gave a halfpenny to the waiter, and I gave a penny." It would be easy enough, no doubt, to trace the custom of the waiter's penny far beyond the time when Mr. Cave kept shop at St. John's Gate, and the future author of " Itasselas " was " a young man from the country ;" but it is enough to know that this penny has con tinued in circulation so long, before we ask, When is it likely to be called in or worn cut ? It is a tax which in general is lightly felt and therefore easily borne ; it may often be considered a bore, but it hardly reaches the dignity of an abuse; and any waiter to whom you give a penny could no doubt supply you with cogent reasons why he should put it in his pocket, though he might be unable to con vince a logician that the publ:c ought to pay the waiter, and that the waiter ought to pay his employer for allowing the public to do so. Veils to servants were, at one time, an almost universal nuisance, which seems at last to have died from rapid overgrowth. It grew so tall and so stout that it fairly blocked up the doorways of hospitable men, for persons of mo derate means could not afford to forsake the com parative cheapness of an hotel, and by visiting at a private house, incur the payment of a month's wages to each of the servants. If vails have not gone en tirely out of fashion—and it would be peevish to desire that they should—their payment is no longer the system that it once was, and now if a friend likes to receive us with empty pockets, we need not feel ourselves smitten down beneath the patronising airs of his butler, or withered by the reproach ful looks of his housemaid. The expiration of the system only did harm to those employers whose servants depended for their wages upon the gifts they received ; but if the " penny for the waiter" were putout ofcirculation to-morrow, neither master, nor man, nor customer weed be injured thereby. In the interests of the vast numbers of people who, in all large towns, are daily in the habit of dining at eating houses and hotels, we might ask why this tax, of a penny in the shilli ng say, should be levied at all. You may buy a suit of clothes, or a box full of books and cigars, without any gratuity to the person who serves you —why not a dinner ? The tailor, the bcoksell er, or t h e tobacconist pays his servants, and no doubt his cus tomers keep them. That is, he pays the wages of his servants out of the profits of his trade, It is just the same with the butcher, and we should like to see it satisfactorily ex plained why the man who sells raw meat should pay his own servants, while the man who sells cooked meat should not only expect the public to pay his servants, but, in a vast number of c ases, compels his servants to pay him for the privilege of working under hi m . O ne wou ld thi n k it would be just as easy f o r hi m t o pay his own waiters, advance the p r i ce o f hi s b ee f an d in a tt o n.

At length the - Mina Courier has officially an nounced that the author of the attempt on M. Domejko has been discovered. His name is Bien kowski. The Courier says that he has acknow ledged his guilt, and that his two accomplices have been also captured and are undergoing their trial. It appears, therefore, that the two Rowkowshis, Jablonski, and Sipowicz, who trial for the att emp t on IN Domejko,ee l. Bangedw without were innocent —a fresh proof, if such were needed, of the unscrupu lous tyranny of the savage Mouravieff. This faithful agent of the policy of Russia in Poland has recently added to his many crimes by another deed worthy of a Timour or a Tamerlane. In the village of Djika, near the town of Bialystok, two of the peasants, seized by the insurgents, and, abundant proof of their guilt having been obtained, hanged by order of a court-martial. The peasant guard of the village, knowing that the sentence was a just one, took no notice of the matter. Unfortunate:y it came to the ears of Mouravieff, who immediately ordered the whole village to be burnt to the ground. The order was executed to the letter; the village is in ashes ; all the inhabitants, without exception, have been sent to Siberia, and their land has been sold to raskolinks. That these terrible deeds are not to be ascribed to the savage character of one individual, but to the system adopted by the Russian Government, is proved by the fact that in nearly every district of Poland the Russian governor treats the inhabitants in accordance with the same barbarous policy. The Mouravieff of Suwalki is Prince Wittgenstein, an officer who bears the character of being an amiable and hamane man. The events lam about to relate that the mere fact of his having become an in instrument of Russian policy hes transformed him into a cruel tyrant. Some days back the Rus sians captured seven peasants whom they suspected of being Polish gendarmes. In order to compel them to acknowledge their guilt, the usual expe dient of torture was resorted to; and, when they fainted iii consequence of the sharpness of their sufferings, cold water was thrown over their mangled bodies in order to prepare them for fresh torments. At length they yielded, and Wittgenstein con demned them to die without the consolations of reli gion. Some members of the inquisitorial committee having interceded in their favour, this sentence was commuted, with regard to three of the accused, to hard labour in the mines of Siberia. These three men, condemned to a punishment perhaps even more terrible than death itself, were bound hand and foot and thrown into a cell, where they passed the night before their dreadful journey on the bare ground—insulted, kicked, and spat upon by the soldiers who guarded them. The remainder were similarly treated. Next morning the four victims were taken in a cart to the gallows. The first three met their fate with a noble indifference ; the fourth, a youth of 17, named Wysocki, seemed to feel more deeply the dreadful fate that awaited him. As he stood on the steps of the gallows, he raised his eyes to heaven, and exclaimed, in a voice which impressed conviction of his innocence on all who were present, " Brothers ! God is my witness, I die innocent." Seeing his mother near, ho burst into tears. The soldiers called out to her to go away, but she refused, declaring she would . look on her son to the last. But the sight was too much for her; as the fatal noose was being drawn round her son's neck she fainted, and was carried away by the people. During the execution Witt genstein had cannon brougnt out into the streets, fearing a popopular tumult. As he signed the decree sentencing them, he said, " I will show that I am no worse than Mouravieff." Such s the example presented by the Russian Government to its employes in Poland. Count Persiguy on the French Empire, Count de Persigny has just pronounced at the Cercle des Arts et du Commerce at St Etienne an address (published in the Moniteur), in which he gave an account of the progress of the empire and of the development of its institutions. As in former years, the hon. speaker dwelt on the necessity of all parties forgetting their differences in order to con solidate the present Government, under which the country has arrives at so high a point of prosperity, pointing ont forcibly that the Emperor when he arrived at power was quite alone, not having round him even the old servants of his family, so that he was under the fortunate necessity of constituting his Government by employing men of all classes. The Count considers it a great error on the part of the Liberal party in France to endeavour to copy in a servile manner the institutions of England, forgetting that the parliamentary system is only possible in an aristocratic country, where the exe cutive power can pass 'without inconvenience from the hands of the Sovereign into those of the great speakers of the Parliament, as the representatives of a powerful aristocracy. He says : " It is certainly a singular aberration of a political school I Forgetting that the indirect nomination of Ministers in England by the Parliament is only a result of the civil and political state of that country, men wished to make it a con dition of liberty in France I There, where in consequence of a long existing state of universaldecentralisation, the Crown interferes in nothing, and the aristocracy has a hand in everything, it is natural that the latter ehould c h oos e its instruments. Here, on the contrary, in a democratic coun try, where the Sovereign, who is the delegate of the people, has the mission to do what is effected V the a ristocracy in England, how is it to be imagined that his agents should be in any other hands than his own ? That under another regime any speaker whose sympathetic and impassioned voice had excited the app lause of his auditory, should imagine that it belonged to him to govern France ; that he should think himself fitted, not only to charm, captivate, and overrule an assembly, but also to direct a whole vast political hierarchy, and even to handle our land and sea forces, there was nothing in that which exceeded the limits of human vanity. But how could pretensions of that kind interest liberty ? What I if the most eloquent speaker of the Chamber is not at the same time Minister, there is no liberty in France ? In truth, one is confounded whey it is remembered with what seriousness such doctrines were affirmed. But liberty, which is of all times and of all coun tries, is susceptible of all forms, and those forms vary with the social state, manners, history, and a thousand circum stances of climate, race, and locality. In antiquity, the liberty of Athens did not more resemble that of Sparta than did the liberty of Rome that of Carthage ; or, in the middle ages, the liberty of Venice resemble that of Florence. Why, then, should liberty in Franca be copied after the model of England? In the place of a great aristocracy covering the soil with vast domains rendered immovable by the law of entail, and disposing of enormous means of influence, we have an administrative hierarchy which alone constitutes all the political organism of our democracy, and outside of which there are only grains of sand, without cohesion and without adherence. And it is that same hierarchy —th a t instrument of authority, order, and public peace—this essential organ of the every-day life of the country, that certain minds would wish to see again abandoned to the mercy of the agitations of the tribune, to be tossed about between the triumphant speaker of one day and the vic torious orator o f the morrow I Thus, gentlemen, by restor ing in our institutions the fundamental principle of au thority ns wel l es liberty, the E m p eror h as re-esta bli s h e d or d er in t h e State, as in creating a G overnmen t p ar ty re moved from ell antagonism of classes, he has reestablished order ie. society," In conclusion, Count de Persigny urged that to assure the destinies of the Empire nothing more was required, and he trusted posterity would ap preciate the patriotism of those who had sacrificed their party to the country : "We have," he said, "a high and noble mission to per. form, for the country expects from us the greatest service which the present generation can render to it—that of com pleting the foundation of its GOV3IIII3IOIIt. We have faith iu that mission. Yes, all, such as we are, irom the die nitaries of State to the inhabitants of the most humble villages we shall be honoured in our posterity for the work which we shall have accomplished. A day will come in which, under the reign of a prince named Napoleon IV. or Napoleon V., our grandsons will say with pride of each of us—' He be longed to that faithful and devoted party which, in found ing the Empire, put an end to our revolutions, and ensured the greatness, prosperity, and liberty of France.' " Mr. GotiGTl is telling his Americ' audience what he considers a good joke at the Cockney dia lect; but he must remember (it has been suggested with sly good humour) that there is many a true word spoken in jest. Ile says—" Once while on a lecturing tour through England I was introduced to a village audience in these terms:--, Ladies and gentlemen, I 'ave the honour to in troduce to you the distinguished lecturer, Mr. John 13• Gough, who will address us on the subject of temperance.
