Fr PrO 4bitton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. FRANCE. .Yesterday being the anniversary of the arrival of the remains of the Emperor Napoleon to Paris, many old soldiers of the Empire proceeded in full uniform to the chapel of the Invalides to attend the usual ser vice on that occasion. On arriving, however, they lwarned that no service would take place, as the da magee occasioned by the fire at Marshal Sebastiani's funeral had not yet been sufficiently repaired, and workmen were still employed in the chapel. Some of •the veterans proceeded forthwith to the Place Vendome, and deposited a garland of flowers with the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour in the centre. GERMAN Y. The official organ of the Prussian Cabinet has pub lished an article announcing distinctly that the Go vernment will readily recognize the new order of things in France, which promises "to lessen the danger of the present period." It examines critically the conduct of the late National Assembly, by which that body lost its influ-.r.ce with the people and made its destruction possible, and points out the folly that led it to insult and threaten the Executive power, without having at its command the force that could alone enable it to act. It estranged from itself the confidence of the nation, though it was more indispensable to its existence than to the President, who had the army at his disposal, and made but an f the unskilful attempt attempt to defend itse , i , tive it had defied. " Probably, sa against ys the Ministerial manifesto, " as the el boas of tha army to the Pre sident have now become clear, a positive resistance on the part of the Assembly would have been of no avail, would have ltered or hindered nothing; but it wou ld not have disappeared under the reproach of su ch a s i n gular want of ability e ith e r t o act or to ad vise." The article then proceeds : since the opening of the last session of the Assembly a thunder-storm hovered over France. An outbreak was u navoidable. The only question was whether the bolt would be launched by the Assembly or by the President. If it came to a real conflict, there could be no doubt, under the circumstances, as to which party would pre vail. Had the Assembly acted in the spirit of a real national representation, silenced the mischievous elements within itself, bridled the revolutionary passions, instead of betraying a cintinual terror of them, had it busied itself more with the material interests of the mass of the People, an event like that of the 2d of December would have been superfluous and impossible. Had the Assembly anticipated the President, and bad the latter waited passively, it may be safely assumed that it would have done so; the spirit of the army on one side, and that of the democracy and Socialists on the other, would have been arrayed against each other, in a conflict much more general and more bloody than the present, and internal peace and order would have sus tained a much heavier and more destructive shock. For the Assembly would never have been able to have re strained the masses, and confronted the perils with which the now abolished Constitution of 1848, threatened the whole of Europe. The Conservative Governments of the Continent, which, under the hitherto existing state of things in France, must have been unceasingly anxious at the threat ening prospects of the coming year, and whose position, laborious enough without that anxiety, must have been rendered still more difficult by it, will not refuse their re cognition to a change in the political situation which promises to diminish the (lingers of the present, and thus makes the commencement of the way to a better future possible. Every other consideration must be ma3o subordinate to the effecting this object. History has more than once proved the events that, on moral grounds, were deeply to be deplored, have been the ne cessary and unavoidable points of (rat sitioa to something better. " We are not a little surprised, therefore, to find the present oecurrenc..9 misund , :rstood, even by those organs of the press that claim to be the heralds and supporters of the strictest Conservatism. Hateful reminiscences and comparisons—violent attacks on eminent political characters, ou whom, for the moment, no full and im partial judgment is possible—can pass neither for patriotic nor politic." The report of the Commission of the Second Cham ber of Prussia on the Treaty of Commerce between Prussia and Hanover, and the admission of the latter State into the Z )Ilverein, has appeared. The Corn misti,m has decided unanimouly on recommending the Chamber to assent to the treaty as laid before it by the Government. Though the Chamber of Hano ver has rejected the Government Bill relating to se veral judicial reforms, the Ministry believes the above treaty will receive the assent of the Hanoverian Le• gislature also. EGYPT. Mr. R. Stephensin arrived at Alexandria on the 25th ult. in hii yacht the Titania, and proceeded a few days afar to Cairo by land, in order to inspect the country well, and to come to a final decision with re gard to the precise course to be adopted fur the Egyptian Railway. Mr. Stephenson seems to think that the best plzn will be to carry toe railroad over the lx.rrag,, where the bridges are in a very forward state, and he is determined to endeavour to have the line in working condition within three years' time.

I The Imperial Government has reoeived intelligence of the capture at Bahia of Africans who had just disembarked. The provincial authorities had re ceived information that two slavers were expected at a well-known spot on the coast. The Pre sident gave orders for one of our vessels of war to go out immediately and cruise in those parts, and his orders were obeyed with such zeal and promptitude that the war vessel reached the spot of landing before the arrival of the suspected vessels. She had not, however, long to wait ; for she immedi ately espied a brig and gave her chase. The latter, seeing the impossibility of escaping from the cruiser, steered towards land and ran aground. A strong south-west wind was blowing, and the sea dashed violently against the shore. Notwithstanding this the landing of the negroes commenced immedi ately, and, as was to be supposed, many of them perished amidst the surf of the waves. The cruiser, who could not expose herself to the fate of the slaver, returned immediately to Bahia, to report the occur rence to the authorities, in order that measures might be taken to meet the exigency of the case. The storm continued, but this did not retard the acts of the provincial Government. Senhor Wanderley, chief of police, started off immediately for the point of debarkation, and, according to the latest information, it was ascertained that a considerable number of Africans had been cap tured, and that some were concealed in the woods and were being pursued by the police force that ac companied Senhor 'Wanderley. The zeal and intel ligence of this worthy magistrate affords the assur ance that the commission he was entrusted with will be well fulfilled. The result will, we confidently expect, prove to the slave dealers that their epoch is termi nated for ever, and that the laws of the country are not to be violated with impunity. Tbis was a case in which the vessels to be captured were bona fide slavers, and not a single British cruiser appeared. All was effected by the authorities of the country ; and in the meantime the capture of the Megan°, of the Novo Mello, and the burning of the Amalia and the Piratinim, there they are to testify to the acti vity and the cruisers, and to justify the assertio❑ of Lord Palmer ston, that to them alone is due the credit of sup pressing the slave trade. THE WESTMINSTER PLAY. Last night the great event of the year in West minster School came off by the performance of the Eunuchus of Terence. To it the students look for ward with the greatest interest and anxiety, and no inconsiderable amount of training has to be gone through in order that " the actors" may acquit themselves creditably of the parts assigned to them. There are not wanting many persons—rationalists in education—who object that too much of the student's time is lost in the endeavour to master a single author ; but, on the other hand, there have been most successful teachers, who maintain that the very best means of acquiring a precise and ready knowledge of a language is to become perfectly fa miliar with some one of its best authors. A more serious objection is, perhaps, the selection of Terence for such a purpose, who, though acknowledged on all hands to be a writer of the purest Latin, abounds in situations and passages of which modern taste does not approve. However, if in obedience to a time honoured custom the Westminster alumni must wear the sock and buskin for a few nights previous to the Christmas holidays, the limited range of the Greco-Roman drama leaves the authorities very little choice in the matter. The language of Plautus is too antiquated and impure, and his raillery is too coarse, to be made the object of modern representa tion, although his rough, rude, Roman style is unquestionably more true to the character of the people before whom his plays were to be acted than than that of his successor. Terence, on the other hand, lived on terms of easy familiarity with some of the first patrician families of Rome, and his pieces are adapted from the period of the new comedy, in which the domestic life of the Athenians was represented with less exaggeration and less personality than in that of the middle comedy, which Plautius for the most past imitated. It should always be remembered, in witnessing a play of Terence, that, althouga we hear the Roman tongue, we are never brought face to face with Roman ideas, Roman manners, or Roman cha racter. Everything —the inner spirit and the out ward form, even to costume and lccality—is Grecian, and for the most part Athenian ; and it i s undeniable that not a single new character wa, added by the Roman playwrights to th oss they found already existing. The Ennuchu for instance, is a mere copy of Monander'' play of the same name, the two principal c h arac t ers Guatho and Thraso, being dovetailed in from the Kolax of the same author. The characters were dis tributed last night as follows :—Phcedria, Mr. G. de L. Lacy; Parmeno, Mr. G. B. Macilwain ; Thais, Mr. F. H. Dodgson ; Guatho, Mr. S. Joyce ; Chcerea, Mr. W. G. Armitstead (captain of the school); Pythias, Mr. Q. W. F. Twiss ; Chremes, Mr. V. T. Green ; Dories, Mr. H. Linscomb ; Dorus, Mr. C. W. Fendall ; Sanga, Mr. A. F. A. Slade; Sophrona, Mr. F. H. R. Hewett ; Laches, Mr. E. Somerville. Mutw Personae : Pamphila, Mr. E. Wodehouse ; Sima lio, Mr. J. G. Edwards; Dorox, Mr. H. Salwey ; Syriscus, Mr. A. L. Onslow ; Ancilla Ahhiops, Mr. R. T. Waters; Ancilla, Mr. H. W.,Harrison. We can only add that the acting was in the usual style of excellence manifested by the " Westminster Boys," although the play does not afford so many salient points as the Andria, which was the play of the preceding year. The Guatho of Mr. Joyce was a rich and unctuous personation, and the Chcerea of Ir. Armistead had all the order and vehemence re quired in the delineation of that character. The Pythias of Mr. Twiss excited much laughter, and the whole performance amply merited the plaudite with which the play concludes. SEABORNE MAILS.

' The Minister of the Interior, M. de Morny, invited the managing directors of the principal railways to a conference on Sunday. There was a full attendance. The Minister commenced by stating that he had solicited the present conference with the representa tives of the railway companies, seeing that the rail way system had now assumed an extent and im portance in France second only to the administrative functions of the Government itself. It might, he said, be a powerful arm in aid, not only of the cause of order and public safety, but of the salvation of the social fabric itself, threatened with dissolution by wild beasts (betel fauves) in human shape, whose outrages in the pro vinces are a disgrace not merely to France, but to the civilization of the 19th century. The President of the Republic and his Government, he said, were determined, at all hazards, and at whatever sacrifice, to cut out this rotten part from the body politic, and to save society from dissolution into its very elements. They counted, and he hoped they might safely count, upon the cordial co-operation of all well-disposed citizens in general, and more especially upon that of influential public bodies like the directors of railways, who disposed of a numerous manufac• turing and working population. The Government in every department, and in none more than that over which he had the honour to preside, had been inexor able in dismissing all those functionaries, superior or subordinate, who were knownlto entertain Socialist opinions, and to be active in the promulgati o n of them. That painful duty had devolved upon himself personally, in more than one instance in his own de partment; and he entreated the gentlemen present not to allow favour or affection to stand in the way of a similar sacrifice of feeling upon the altar of duty. The Minister said he was happy to state, for the in formation of those gentlemen, that the President of the Republic and his Government do not at all par ticipate in that insane jealousy of the railway com panies and the great and industrial establishments of the country generally which, unfortunately, charac terized preceding administrations. The President, he said, had narrowly watched, and carefully studied the results of the great commercial enter prises of England, both before and during his residence in that country. He is desirous that France should follow in the same track, and thus gradually arrive at the development of the great natural and industrial resources of the country. They might depend upon it that so far from being jealous of the gains and the prosperity of the companies, the Pr,esident heartily and sincerely wished all honest and industrious men might double their gains by using legiti mate means ; and that there is nothing which the commerce and industry of the country can ask, as conducive to its prosperity, that the President will not be ready to grant. Of this, he observed, some indi cations might be seen already. (The Minister was here understood to allude to the decree just issued, authorizing the construction of the Circular Railroad to connect the various termini in Paris, at the joint cost of the companies and the State ; and to the other public works now in hand with a view of affording employment to the people.) M. Juyer, a director of the Strasbourg Railway (formerly Minister of Public Works), assured the Minister, on the part of the gentlemen present, that the Government should always find the most cordial support from the railway authorities, not only to the extent of the material obligations imposed on them by their respective laws of concession, but also the moral support which it was the imperative duty of every well-disposed citizen to give under existing circumstances. The Minister expressed his great satisfaction at re ceiving that assurance, and the conference then terminated. The representatives of the Strasbourg Railway remained with the Minister after the other gentlemen left the audience chamber. It was understood they were to demand the concession of a branch from St. Dizier to Gray, an important " feeder " to that line, and that it would be granted. The present would seem to be the moment for the shareholders in the Cette and Avignon Railways to push for the restitu tion of their caution money. EAST INDIA COLLEGE, HAILEYBURY. Yesterday the half -yearly examination of the stu dents at Haileybury College was held before the Hon. the Chairman and Directors of the East India Com pany. Among the company present were Mr. Shep herd, chairman, Sir J. W. Hogg, Bart., M.P., deputy-chairman, and the following directors :—Mr. William Wigram, Lieutenant-General Sir James L. Lushington, G.C.8., Sir Henry Willock, K.L.S., Mr. W. H. C. Plowden, M.P., Mr. E. Macnaghten, Mr. J. C. Whiteman, Mr. W. J. Eastwick, Major-General Caulfeild, C. 8., Mr. William Dent, Mr. J. H. Astell, Sir Richard Jenkins, G.C.8., and Major J. A. Moore. Visitors—Sir John Herschel, Bart., Lieutenant- General Barr, Right Hon. Dr. Lushington, Reverend Charles Lane, Mr. George Palmer, Rev. Moore Brabazon, Mr. T. N. Waterfield, Mr. J. A. Craw. ford, Colonel Sim, Major Chase, Lieutenant- Colonel Abbott, C 8., Rev. W. Lockwood, Rev. William Baxter, Peer Ibraheem Khan, Syed Abdoollah ; Lieutenant Cook, R.A., senior professor of fortifi cation, Addiscombe, and Mr. T. R. Clarke, of the cadet department, East India House, who was warmly congratulated by his numerous friends upon the success achieved by his 8011, Mr. H. R. Clarke; Sir John Herschel also recei ve d man y congratula tions upon the brilliant success attained by his son, now in his second terni at the college. The following civilians at home were also pre sent :—Mr. R. N. Cust, Mr. C. T. Le Bas, Mr. A. F. Bellasis, Mr. George Couper, and Mr. Bransby Cooper. Upon the arrival of the directors at the college they wereept we ece iPrincipal Melvin, whose r " The Principal has much satisfactio n i n b e ing able to report to the Hon. the Finance a n d Home or received subjoin by :_ the Rev. Com mittee that all the 20 students constituting the fourth term have been found duly qualified for quitting the college. 19 of these have displayed an amount of pro ficiency exceeding that which is demanded by the statutes, and many of the number deserve very high commendation for the attainments shown in various departments. " At an early stage of the exam i nat i on two students, having been detected in unfairness, were immediately punished with loss of the term, so that only 64 are to to be considered as having gone through the examina tion ; of these only two h ave f a i led to present the amount of proficiency requi re d f or keeping the term. Th e remaining sixty-two h ave passed with various d eg rees of merit, but a very large proportion have displayed a greater than the necessary proficiency, forty-three being returned as hi g hl y d i st i ngu i shed, and fourteen as having passed with great credit. it I t i s satisfactory to observe that, though some students have laden themselves with prizes, there has been a great amount of competition for these rewards, no fewer than nineteen havin g o bt a i ne d t h e honour able distinction of priz!men. " t T iessubject of En g li s h compos iti on con marked attention. Forty eight receive a essays were sent in by competit o r s f o r th e p r i ze , so that more than two-thirds of the students volunta rily undertook a great additional lab o ur. Ma n y o f continues importantto these exercises were highly creditable to the authors, and evinced both ability and industry. " With regard more particularly to the Oriental classes, the visitor remarks that they do not call for any special notice on the present occasion. The two senior terms have maintained the character which they have hitherto deserved ; and the two junior, al though not distinguished by many instances of more than usual ability, have exhibited a very creditable amount of steady application. The fourth term offers, in all the languages studied, a few cases of great proficiency ; and it may be observed that, of the five students who have that mark in Sanscrit, four have the same mark in two other languages also ; one has the medal awarded to him for Sanscrit and Te loogoo, another for Hindustani. " In the third term there is a similar accumulation of honours. Of the five students who stand first in Sanscrit, four have also the mark of great proficiency in Persian and Hindustani. All the senior students of this term have distinguished themselves by the very great amount of their extra reading, voluntarily added to the amount required for passing the statu tory examination; two have also added to their studies very respectable proficiency in Hindi; and one of these has further added to his acquirements a creditable knowledge of Bengali.; "At the same time it cannot be denied that both the senior terms have a considerable proportion of students whose attainments only just secure them against absolute failure. " With at least two exceptions the students of the second term have not displayed any great aptitude for the acquirement of languages, there being but one instance of great proficiency in Sanacrit and two in Persian. The student who is at the bead of both these classes has added to his attainments a knowledge of a third language, Arabic, very respectable for the time during which he has been able to prosecute the study. " The students of the first term have all made considerable progress in the elements of Sanscrit, their only subject of Oriental study_ " The Principal has great satisfaction in being able to report to the committee that the term has, on the whole, been passed in remarkable quietness and good order. The great body of the students have con formed themselves, in a most praiseworthy manner, to the rules and regulations of the place ; and no occa sion has arisen which has called for any severe exer cise of authority. (Signed), " Dec. 15. " HENRY MELTILL, P.C." The directors, having received the reports of the professors and principals, adjourned to the ball of the college, where the students wero gtseernbled, Mr. Hope here read his prize essay upon the ques tion, " How far is it desirable for Governments to leave works of national utility to private enterprise ?" Mr. Norman then read translations into Teloogoo and Sanscrit ; Mr. Ouseley read a translation into Persian ; and Mr. Moore into Hindustani.

At the Manchester Borough -court on Monday, a rough-looking fellow, about thirty years of sge, named William Thompson, an engine -fitter, residing at 15, Pall Mall•street, Vine-street, Hulme, was charged with the murder of his wife on Saturday night. _ _ The evidence disclosed the fact that the pri soner and the deceased had been married about six years, but had not lived happily, in consequence of the female having a strong liking for drink ; for the last month, however, she had b een a t o t a l abstainer, and on Saturday night was quite sober. She was at the house of her sister, Maria Mather, of 18, Lloyd street, from about seven o'clock up to nine o'clock ; going there, she said, to avo id h er hus band, who had threatened to beat her. She deposited nine shillings with her sister, saying she would be back that night; and at nine o'clock she left. A female named Jones proved that the unfortunate woman went home between nine and ten o'clock, and finding that a key she had would not unlock the door, she got into the house by way of the back window. About half-past eleven o'clock Jones and her brother heard a noise, as of some one falling down stairs, in the house, but they did not notice any other disturbance. About a quarter past one on Sun day morning the prisoner went to Maria Mather's house, knocked her up, coolly said his wife was dead, and then went away. The sister immediately proceeded to the house, and found that the statement was true. The corpse of Mrs. Thompson was on b chair in the kitchen. Just before Mather arrived, Thompson's father, an old man, who lodged in the house, let himself in with a latchkey, and, while grop ing about for a light, found the dead body on the chair. Before he could get a light Thompson walked in, on his retnrn from Lloyd-street, and the old man said, " Bill, why dost let the wife sleep there?" Thompson, to the old man's utter dis may, replied, " She's not asleep, she's dead," and then left the house. A medical man (Dr. Wilkin son) was called in, but life was extinct, and, with all due attention to decency, the neighbours proceeded to undress the corpse and perform some of the last offices for the dead. It was then discovered that there were several marks upon the throat and back of the head which indicated foul play, and the police, being informed of the circumstances, apprehended the man at a beer-shop in llulme. His account of the matter is, that he did not see his wife alive after he went to his work on Saturday morning ; that he went home at night and went to bed, woke in a fright early in the morning, went down stairs, and found his wife dead at the foot of them ; he took her up, fixed her on the chair, and then went to tell her sister. He was remanded for further exami nation. SERIOUS POACHING AFFRAY. NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.—A desperate encounter took place this morning about one o clock at Barton Wood between the gamekeepers of Sir Arthur Clif tor, of Baton Lodge, and a number of poacher. (amounting to forty, at least), who are supposed to belong to one of the poaching associations in this county. The particulars of this affray are the fol lowing :—William Dabell, and two other keepers, in the service of Sir Arthur Clifton, went as usual on their rounds last night, and saw very little to arouse suspicion, until after midnight, when one of the keepers observed three man corn ing towards them. The keepers had with them a large night-dog, which they immediately let loose. The dog commenced the attack, the keepers at the same time using their weapons. At this juncture the foremost poacher drew an immense clasp•knife, and in a moment ripped open the belly of the mastiff. Upon seeing this the keepers were more fierce than ever in their attack, and very likely would have overpowered their opponents, when one of the poachers gave a shrill whistle. The grounds now seemed alive with men ; the poachers poured in from all quarters. One of the keepers (less hurt than the others) states that there were "a lane full." The odds at this moment were fearful ; the keepers still, however continued to fi g ht. valiantly. All attempts at capture were given up, and it was now merely in self-defence that Sir Arthur's men fought. In a short time they were completely overpowered, the poachers leaving them in the preserves frightfully mutilated. It is perfectly miraculous that no sacrifice of human life took place. Imagining that the villagers might be aroused, the poachers beat a rapid retreat ; not, however, before several of them were so fearfully bruised as to be obliged to be carried out of the field. Early this morning two messengers on horseback arrived from Sir Arthur's lodge at the police. station here. Every outlet near was guarded, but we have Lot yet heard of any capture having taken place. The dog (a very valuable one) died this morning , • the keepers ar e pro grassing favourably. A TOWN KILLED WITH KINDNESS.—DroIIy enough) Bedford is an example of a town killed with kindness. It has been pauperised by the number and wealth of its cha rities. A mechanic or small tradesman can send his child, if it be sick, to a free hospital ; when older, to a free school. where even books are provided; when the boy is appren ticed, a fee may be obtained from a charity; at half the time of apprenticeship, a second fee; on the; expiration of the term, a third ; on go i ng to serv i ce, a fourth ; if he marries, he expects to obtai n f rom a c h ar i ty fund " a portion" with his wife, also educated at a charity ; and if he has not suffi cient industry or prudence to lay by for old age—and these are virtues which he is not likely to practice—he looks for ward with confidence to being boarded and lodged at one of Bedford's 59 almshouses.—Sidney's Rides on Railways. IMPROVEMENTS IN ST. JAMES'S-PARK.—lien have been for come time engaged in St. James's-park and the enclosure in removing all the rotten and decayed trees in the place, and planting with young ones. Many of the trees had been there so many years that the trunks were com pletely hollow, and the wood like sponge. A similar clear ance is to be made of the dead wood in the other parks and Kensington. PRICES OF SHARES :N BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.
