But the fact is, that the contrast which he sees, as existing between this country and I us own, through that medium, does not represent truly to his mind the real and relative state of the peoplE in this country with his 3sitous is here own. The pauperism of the ne thoroughly grappled with and relieved No man, 11 this country, can perish from famine ; the law , nsists upon and provides for his relief ; he does not beg—he claims it as hii legal right Hence a very e rroneous estimate is apt to be formed on the Continent of the state of our population. One great test and evidence of the substantial prosperity of the country exists in the fact, that the averag e per tentage of able-bodied paupers, for some considerable and retrospective period, has fallen 32 per cent. ; among the number of all classes of paupers 16 per cent. But in the midst of these facts, it is lamentable to observe how much crime has increased of late, chewing thereby that it is not distress, re- n justly sealed. IR is left for execution on this day fortnight Let us hope that his example will not be without its whole- The amnesty which the Emperor of the French has resolved to grant will extend, it is computed, to at least ten thousand persons, who have been tyrannically transported within the last ten years for political offences. Now it is pleasant, no doubt, to contemplate such an act of clemency as this. But then there arises the thought, why were so many thousands of his sub jects sent as convicts into ignominious exile, with all its sufferings, mental and bodily ? Why, they had resisted his atte m pt s t o es t a bli s h a despot i sm i n their country. This, we believe, was the head and front of their offending. And the question there fore very naturally arises, can one be fit to reign over an intelligent people, who will not scruple thus to deal with those who are unwilling to be his slaves ? Besides, he was not content, it will be remembered, to send ten thousand citizens of France into penal servitude in a foreign land. He did not hesitate to slaughter in the streets of the capital two or three thousand people, whom he merely suspected of All those, we being there in defence of their liberties cannot but think, ought in reason to be taken into account in judging of an act which, we are told, has made the people of Par frantic with joy of all Franc almost The Government of the Duchy of Parma more than suspects, it would appear, that after all they will have to fight for their independence. They have given orders, it is stated, for 4,000 muskets, and are adopting measures for organising a strong military armament y attempt to rest said that the Emperor of Austria's impatience at tl in resistance It is me the old state of things ae delay in the restoration of the ex-rulers of the Duchies, has impelled the Parmese Government to take these steps. But it is more probable that the presence of the son of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in Paris, and the kindness shown by the French Emperor, may have had some thing to do in exciting their fears, and inducing them to prepare for the assertion of their independence at the point of the bayonet. As to their power of resistance, it may be more than questioned whether it would be of any avail against either Austria or France — indeed, the jealousy of Louis Napoleon at Au. interference should bring him round to their support. The French Emperor is seeking the intervention of our government, it is rumoured, in the affairs of the Popedom. The French Minister at Rome has returned to Paris for the purpose of conferring with the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the reforms which the Pope is called upon to introduce into his temporal government; and it is understood that Louis Napoleon is as anxious to draw England into the arrangement, as he is into that of the Italian question generally. We humbly think, however, that this country will be wise to have as little connection as possible with the present Emperor of the French in these matters. It is doubtless very desirable that a diplomatic intercourse should be established between England and Rome, as there is between Eng land and the other states of the Continent; but such a desideratum by no means involves our intervention in the concerns of the Popedom. It would be quite time enough to enter into negotiations with the Pope, as the temporal ruler of the States of the Church, when he has himself succeeded in adjusting the affairs of his -unless, sovereignty. The remarks we have extracted elsewhere, from a London paper, on the report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the subject of what is called the Bible-printing monopoly, prepare us to expect that the enquiry will result in at least removing a great deal of popular misconception as to the effect of that mono poly. The opinion of an eminent Cambridge scholar and divine, as given to the committee, " That the with drawal of the patent for printing Bibles would raise their price, and cause them to be far less accurate," is of itself calculated to correct the strong prejudices against the present restriction. There is another striking fact, too,—viz., that the English Bibles of the Queen's printer can compete successfully with American Bibles in the United States. The report recommends the re-appointment of the committee next year ; so that we shall, no doubt, have a thorough investigation of the subject. Messrs. Frisby and Dyke, of Liverpool, have offered to present two drinking fountains to the borough of Northampton, and the corporation has accepted the offer. NOR,TIIERN DAILY TIMES.

A petition in bankruptcy was filed to-dav against Mr. John Edward Buller, of the firm of Siiiart and Buller, solicitor, of 56, Lincoln Inn-fields, who has absconded with liabilities believed to exceed £lOO,OOO. According to the report in the Times, he has misap propriated large sums entrusted to him as solicitor and trustee. Mr. Smart is in no way implicated in these charges. LONDON DISTRICT TELEGRAPH The report of the directors states that of the 12,000 shares authorised, the deposit of £1 paid upon 10,740 shares realises more than sufficient to discharge all liabilities upon the contracts entered into as well as the preliminary and current expenses. Eighty-nine sub-district stations will be ready on the Ist January next. The main trunk lines of the under ground system have been completed.

THE NEW PEAL 'OF BELLS AT ST. JAMES'S, DERBY. — Yesterday forenoon the new bells at St. James Church, West Derby, which have been presented by Mrs. Thornton, were rung for the first time. They are full and melodious in tone, and reflect much credit upon Messrs. Marsden Brothers, by whom they have been supplied. COUNTY MAGISTRATES COURT, SATURDAY.—(BEFORE MESSRS. HALL, F. SHAND, AND THEAKESTONE.)— ASSAULTS.—Mrs. Jane Derry, who keens a supper room in Lime-street, was summoned by Eliza Hassall, a servant girl, for committing an assault on her, at the defendant's residence, Crosby-green, West Derby. A fine of 10s. and costs was inflicted.—A man named Thomas Fox was mulcted in the sum of 20s. and costs for assaulting a woman named Susannah Jones. EXCURSIONISTS.—On Saturday last about 1,400 people arrived at Lime-street station, by three succes sive trains from Huddersfield. They were principally females, and all employed in the factory of Messrs. Brooks, Huddersfield. The excursion was given by their employers, on the occasion of Mr. Brooks, jun. coming of age. The appearance of the people was most creditable to themselves and their employers, indicating comfort and contentment. SALE OF CHOICE WINES.—We advertise among our auction announcements the sale of a private cellar of choice wines, at Winstanley's Rooms, in Church-street, next Saturday, which we understand are of such quality as is not often to be met with under such circumstances. They are the property of a gentleman in whose cellars they remain, and from which they will be delivered immediately after the sale. This opportunity, therefore, of obtaining wines of a superior cha r a c t er , is one w hi c h we have no doubt will be readily taken advantage of. MUSICAL FETES. — We observe that three grand concerts will take place this - week in the pleasure gardens and fields adjoining the Aigburth Hotel. The first of these concerts will take place this evening. Lest the public should fear a repetition of a disappointment such as took place in reference to the musical festival advertised for the 15th instant, it is announced that Messrs. Bath Brothers, and Mr. Thomas Ruston, have offered the use of their gardens and fields gratuitously in consequence of the disappointment alluded to. There will be dancing on the green, for which a full band has been engaged. A vocal union has also been engaged, and will sing a variety of glees and songs. There will be flights of balloons at intervals during the day. The programme for to-day contains an excellent and select variety of pieces to be performed by the respective artistes, and we consequently expect a numerous atten dance. An entire change of programme will be made for Tuesday and Wednesday ; and we observe a some what novel feature, that excursionists will be admitted at half price on showing their railway tickets.

The evening's entertainment was considerably enlivened by numerous songs and recitations from some of the gentlemen present, and several good pieces of music were executed on the piano-forte. Towards the close, the health of Mr. Anderson was proposed, and d run k amid cheers. Mr. Anderson responded in appropriate terms. " The Press" was then given, and soon after the company broke up, all well pleased with what had taken place. __+__ THE ALLEGED BIBLE-PRINTING MONOPOLY, The select committee have simply reported to the House of Commons the evidence adduced before them during the late session. They recommend their re-ap pointment next year. The witnesses were—Mr. W. Spottiswoode, Mr. R. Besley, Mr. C. Childs, Mr. B. Pardon, Mr. F. Warne, Rev. Dr. Caswell, Rev. C. Clayton, M.A., and Mr. T. Coombe. Mr. Spotiswoode, the Queen's printer, engaged b 7 patent to print " accu rate editions of the Holy Scriptures," tells the com mittee that the letters-patent will expire in January (next), 1860. The rights of the Queen's printer are co ordinate with those of the Univerities quoad the publi cation of the Bible. Mr. Spottiswoode says that the my book in the trade approaching it in bulk, even in days of cheap literature. The comparison "is fa ble to the Bible in every degree," and in the J lilted States, where there is no restriction whatever, Mr. Spottiswoode affirms that the Bibles issued are de cidedly inferior to the English, both as regards accuracy and cheapness. There are no books at present produced in the States corresponding to our cheapest edition. The "authorised edition" is in great request every where, and, like all really good articles, generally com mands the market wherever English is spoken. The competition, according to the Queen's printer, is very severe under the present system, and there is nothing like a monopoly. The withdrawal of the patent would in duce the Queen's printers to consider very seriously what course they would take. Mr. Spottiswoode has never seriously contemplated the step of interfering with the Bibles of Bagster and Arnold, Knight, Matthew Henry, T. Scott, A. Clarke, Cobbin, and others. He thinks Bagster's edition by no means equal to his own, or those of' Oxford and Cambridge, " in point of beauty and price." •As regards accuracy, ho offers no opinion. He admits that it is very possible that there have been ." minor inaccuracies" in the Queen's printers' Bibles printed in former years, within the existence even of the present patent. The marginal "references" are re garded as part of the " authorised" Bible ; they received their " final" revision about a century ago, at the hands of Dr. Blayney. The law about the print ing of other versions appears to be rather un certain ; but Mr. Spottiswoode says he would not interfere with any copy of the Scriptures distinctly purporting to be different from the authorised version. Nor does he object to Knight's Pictorial Bible, which does profess to be the authorised version. Other printers are decidedly in favour of throwing the trade in Bibles open, and can see no objection to such a step. Mr. Pardon says that, " in the world's opinion," as denoted by the demand, the "references" in Bagster's Bible are better than those in the University edition, and that although higher in prices, they have an immense sale ,in consequence of the superiority t of the references. One of the many discrepancies that occur in the editions of the Bible in common tire -1 lation, is the oo“- I the wore ' and" in the fa Arch passage from St. John's Gospel—" I am the way, and the truth, and the life." If twenty Bibles were opened now, says Mr. Pardon, you would probably find that one-half would omit the first " and. Dr. Caswell, an American (episcopal) divine, says, that a Bible monopoly would never answer under American institutions, and would be no advantage in that country. The Rev. C. G. Clayton, tutor of Camas Col lege, Cambridge, thinks that the withdrawal of the patent for the printing. of Bibles would raise their price, and cause them to be far less accurate ; they are now sold by the British and Foreign Bible Society at 10d. and 9d., while New Testaments may be had for 4d. Doc trinal errors, too, may creep in, if the trade was thrown open. Mr. Clayton thinks free competition, as a gene ral rule, an advantage ; bid he will not allow it as regards the printing of Bibles : he g oes so far as to sa y ., that supposing " a real improvement" were suggested by some scholar in the translation of any word in Ox ford and Cambridge Bibles, it would not be introduced. AMERICA. The Cunard.

The letter is substantially as follows There can be no difference in - the degrees of protection accorded by governn nt to native Inc recognizes no difference in this respect. If apm son can expatriate himself from a foreign government, and swear allegiance to the United States, and still owe anything to the foreign predicament of owing allegiance to two countries, without being entitled to the protection of either. He would accord the fullest protection to all American citizens. In the convention, the constitution was a creature of compromise, and the African slave trade was the subject. South Caro lina and Georgia wished to continue it; Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York wished it terminated ; New England was passive in the matter ; South Carolina a„'l n'gia finally car ried their point of continuance till the year 1808, with the understanding that it should then end. instrument itself. In this view Judge Douglas declares himself to be irrevocably opposed to the re-opening of the African slave trade. " The above manifesto is from Judge Douglas, a Senator, and a candidate for the presidency. Another candidate for that high office had written a letter, which has caused great excitement throughout the Union generally—we mean Go vernor Wise. As it has caused such a sensation, I thank you for yours of the Bth instant. I have apprehended all along that the Tammany Re zency would carry a united deleamtion from New York DEAR Sir know, is confi- dent ; but you may rely upon it that Mr. Buchanan is a candidate for re-nomination, and all his patronage and power will be us aspirant - ,. Our only than I to disappoint Douglas and all other is to organize by districts, that is done or'not done, :ive must still relyim a united South. A united South will depend on a united Vir ginia, and I pledge you that she at least shall be a unit. Virginia a - unit, and persistent and firm on a sound platform of protection, to all persons of popular versus squatter sovereignty, she must rally to her support all the South. The South cannot . adopt Mr. Douglas' platform. It is a short cut to all the ends of black republicanism. lie then will kick up his heels. If he does or don't he can't be nominated, and the main argument against his nomination is that he can't candidate, and Seward runs, and I am nominated a independent candidate on protection principles, and run the election into the house. Where, then, would Mr. Douglas be ? The lowest candidate on the list. If I have the popular strength, you suppose it will itself fix the nomination. Get that, and lam confident of Hon. F.

He has always been friendly to me, and I am to him, but always on fair and independent terms. There is nothing in our relations which should keep aloof any friend of either. He knows as well as any one can tell him, that his main influence is in the city of New York, and I judge what you say of his country influence is correct. But lam counting all the time without New York, and don't fear result. lam depending solely upon open position of principle, independent orall clique;, and deling• all corners. We will overwhelm opposition in 1' irginia, and her vote will be conservative and national. HENRY A. IVisi The receipts into the Treasury for the quarter ending with June, exclusive of trust funds, were $23,126,452, including $14,281,000 from customs, $142,376 from public lands, and $8,005,200 from Treasury notes issued under the act of Congress of December, 1857. The expenditures during the same period were $26,212,000, including $10,016,000 in payment of Treasury notes, and $1,584,000 interest on the public debt, including 1 I Treasury notes. A despatch from St. Louis says that great ex citement prevailed in Kansas in consequence of the discovery of rich diggings at the head waters of the Colorado. Hundreds were leaving daily for the diggings. The Loiemouth Times says that a Vigilance Committee had been organised for the purpose of breaking up the extensive gangs of horse thieves and robbers - which infest the terri tory. One or two victims had suffered the death penalty, and others were punished until they confessed their crimes and exposed their associates. The committee disbanded after gaining sufficient knowledge to effect the destruction of the different gangs.

The concert was opened by Verdi's well-known terzetto "Te sol Attila," which was well sung by Madame Borchardt and Signors Belart and Aldighieii, the latter. of whom also sung Rossini's admirable aria " Lasgo al factotum," from the Barber of Seville. Donizetti's aaarG 411 D' piquante duet " Che ? voi m'amate ?" from the Figlia del Reggimento, was selected for introducing " The Piccolomini" to the audience ; the piece being sung by that lady and Signor Belart. The reception given to the cantatrice by the audience was enthusiastic and en couraging, and the singing of the duet was spirited and pleasing, the audie nce mar ki ng t h e i r appro b at i on of the performance by loud and prolonged ap plause. In singing Mozart's splendid air Vedrai Carino," from Don Giovanni, Mad'lle Piccolomini evinced good taste and able execution. This piece elicited rapturous appl ause , an d it s re p e titi o n , wasdreamt that demanded.

The instrument is a noble one, and he evidently possesses full command over it. With deference, how ever, we suggest to him that some portion of the pleasure to be derived from listening to such perfor mances would be enhanced if he would consent to make its effects less dependant on contrasts—if the Aldighieri are also lt pl i e s singers, over whelming power of the instrument were less prominently displayed. As a whole, the concert of Saturday evening was a highly satisfactory one in all respects as regards the public. We trust th e artistes and management found its results equall y satisfactory.
