paralleled contrast between its intentions and actions,—an assumed and apparent liberalism when in danger, said to be followed by reaction when that danger is supposed to be past,—an asserted incapacity to take decidedly the side it loves,—a pretended yet questionable supremacy in numerical power, and an unproved 'impotence of judgment on the part of that power, as to what ought to be done,—it is adroitly advanced by our contemporary, that the Prussian despatch is, because it is, and apparently for no better reason, "infirm in argument and ptirpoSe to a Surprising degree," to assert that " Prussia is far from wishing to dispute the great value of the national idea," and that "it is essentially +l - avowed moving power of - policy which in Germany will a...1;4V aim at the development and MO reunion of the national Powers in a more efficient and powerful organisation," is simply to Maintain that "it is only itt the legal Way of reforms and by respecting existing rights; that a regular Governnient is perniitted to realise the legitimate wishes of the People ;" and "the idea that the national a; arid ilia whenever public opinion should be pronounced in favour ( if those wishes, the existing authorities ought to abdicate their power." These are pro nounced to be rank Prussian heresies ! To suppose that the work of reform has been abandoned by Sardinia tor that d revolution is; it netts, to involve a contradiction of principles *HA tiiiist deor4e the +ieWS of the Regent's Cabinet of ail inthienee in this matter.' Diplomatic notes, we are told, must not attempt to enforce abstract notions of morality. Count CAVOUR is not bound to listen to German logic, or what the Times calls Casuistry. The question having been simply how far did the Prince Regent approve of certain steps,—and the justifiableness of resistanee to established governments haVing been, in some points, always a nice considerationi it Was iitterlY inconsistent With itrOn SCHLEINITZ'S duty to Pronounce decidedly for or against the debateable Proposition. • That the Prussian Minister should have considered the laws of nations of superior importance to the selfish and dynastic importance of Sardinia, and that he should have dared to Warn Sardinia as to the Illegality and pekiloiis nature of its prodediire; We are tti believe is dome- thing so dreaciftil that it is iiiipossible to conceive of Thigiand viewing the matter as anything less than an underhand attempt to betray its great and glorious freedom into the hands of despotism, and to commit her to a warlike and aggressive policy from which we can only clear ourselves by an inconsistent renunciation of every principle of freedom, justice, and international law ! Is it so Is Prussia the opponent of Italian nationality or the reverse ? Can it be said that Austria will join us in any other sense than that of approving of all that Prussia has said ? After a great deal or attempted "wrapping in the Mist of abstract morality " on the part of the times, as to the policy of the Prussian Regent's Government, it is comfortable to reflect that no unsound principle seems to have been adopted by Prussia. Our contemporary, for its own purpose, choses *to assume that there is necessarily a great difference between England and Prussia, but the assumption is altogether unproved. Upon the whole, it is especially incumbent upon the people of England to beware of the one-sided and untrustworthy views of the Times on this point. Whatever may be the proper path for England to follow, we feel abundantly assured that it could not follow any more suicidal course than to give any—even the slightest—effect to the ex parte and unfounded views of " the leading journal." . • with the Emperor be desirable only in view of circum stances altogether exceptional, it is not the less true that the Cabinet of Berlin has done wrong, and will do still further wrong, by affecting never to wish to estab lish an united plan of action as regards certain questions with the Cabinet of the Tuileries. I need hardly tell you hoiv greatly the fore going sentiments have delighted the semi-official prints Who write in the interest and on the instructions of.the Cabinet of the 'l 4 nileries. The Chambers Of Conitherce, and the Cotisuita,- tive Chambers, who were invited by the Minister of Commerce to give their opinion as to the pro priety of abbreviating the ,delays cis tegards,the application of the treaty of Commerce with Eng= land ; hairs replied tothe tintilher of 113.Sixty sit have asked that the periods fixed by the treaty be maintained, and these belong to the trading districts of France thirty-three of the other 'who are for the' most part connected with the wine-growing departments of the south, have asked that the periods for bringing the treaty into operation be anticipated; and the remainder have declared either that they could not give any opinion before they knew what the new tariffs were to be, or that they were not interested in the qtestion one Way or the other, It will be Bebk that a large majority of the repreSentatiVeS Of the different bedies interested in the ne* treaty are adVerSe to the Proposal to anticipate L the .Perio.dEi Of .. its application; but Whether the government of the Emperor will act upon this opinion or not, is a different matter. The channel leading into the . port of Havre is about to be enlarged, and a decree, which was signed on the 17th, has just been published, authorising the necessary works to be carried into execution without delay. The total expense is two millions of francs (£80,000), of which sum two-thirds will be defrayed out of funds advanced by the town, and the remainder will be debited to the second section of the Budget, cap. 39,.

THREATENED BOMBARDMENT OF GAETA. _ _ _ It is reported at Paris that the arrival of the French Admiral and his ships at Gaeta is to pre vent the bombardment of the place. ABANDONMENT OF THE LINE OF THE VOLTURNO. The Tinies has received tlfe folloWiog telegram from its Naples correspondent : Naples; Oct. 23.—Cajazzo and the vicinity have been evacuated by the Royalist troops. The line of the Volturno has been abandoned for that of the Garigliano. The national flag floats upon the heights above Capua. Hopes are entertained that Capua will be shortly evacuated. The Tintes has also received the following froni diiisiorl lids ieceived orders to be ready to start by sea-destination not known. The Hungarian legion is to form part of it: GREAT REVIEW OF THE ARMY OF ITALY. As soon as the annexation of Naples shall have been officially completed, there will be a review of 100,000 men throughout the whole of Italy, and it is hoped that there will be an army of 300,000 in the line by the spring. If Austria decides upon action, her attack will be sudden. THE WARSAW CONFERENCE. WARSAW, Oct. 24, Noon. This morning the Prince Hohentollern Sig maringen visited the Prince Regent, and Count Rechberg conferred with the Emperor of Austria. Up to to-day, no special conference of the Minis ters of Austria, Russia, and Prussia has taken place. The Emperor of Austria and the Prince Regent remain here until Friday. NAPLES. The French admiral has arrived at Gaeta from Naples, with two ships of the line and two frigates. FRENCH POLICY IN ITALY. PARIS, Oct. 24. The Constautionnel publishes an article headed " French Policy in Italy," and signed by its edi torial secretary. This article, which is consi dered semi-official, commences by energetically repelling the accusations brought against the Government of the Emperor by those who reproach him for not intervening in Italy against the revolution, and by those who wish to see him sustain the Italian movement at all hazards. French policy could not, without compromising most incontestable principles and its essential interests, hold one or the other of the two lines of conduct. In taking part against Italy the Empe ror would betray his origin—he would lose the character he holds from universal suffrage by which he was elected, and would divest himself of the authority necessary to a Sovereign of France for the good of Europe. The more he is equitable to people the greater is the service rendered by the Emperor to the principle of authority. Besides, an intervention could only be a military occupation• of the Peninsula. What would Italy, England, and Europe have said P They would have looked upon the Peninsula thus protected as a French Italy. The other attitude was equally impossible and dangerous. It would have made us an accomplice of the revolutionary state of things. It would have caused us to break with Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and have brought us to a general war. The Emperor would have changed his role. Moderator of the revolution, he would become its chief. Pacificator of Europe, he would become its terror. Arbiter in questions of political equilibrium, he would lose the titles of his competency. Representative of the national will, he would become a mere party instrument. Thus France could neither support revolutionary intentions nor absolutist reactions in Italy. What line of policy should she follow ? Here the article enters upon consideration of the political condi tions of each of the Great Powers of Europe, and having reviewed the state of things in Italy, it draws the conclusion that a Congress is possible, and defines the part France would take therein. The article concludes thus :—A n organised and powerful Italy is henceforth to the interest of Europe. In consecrating it by an act of high jurisdiction, Europe would show as much prudence as justice. THE FRENCH SYRIAN EXPEDITION. An article in yesterday's Moniteur is considered unfavourable to the evacuation of Syria, by.the French, in the stipulated six months. The Porte is represented as not only incapable of protecting the Christians, but its army is accused as an accomplice in the outrages perpetrated upon them. AUSTRIA. NEW CONSTITUTION FOR STYRIA. VIENNA, Oct. 24. The official Weiner Zeitung publishes an Impe rial patent, dated October 20, constituting a sta tute for the organisation of the provincial Diets of Styria. The Diet is to consist of six representa tives of the clergy, twelve representatives of landed property (to which certain privileges are attached), ten representatives from certain char tered cities, two from the chamber of commerce, and twelve from the other communes of Styria ; making in all forty-two members, of whom forty are to be elected. The Emperor appoints the Presidents of the Diet. PESTH, Oct. 23. This morning the garrison marched out for a review. General Benedek took leave of the troops, and addressed them in a speech. The proposed illumination of the city did not take place by desire of General Benedek, who stated that it would be better to present the costs of the illumination to the Prince. SARDINIA. TURIN, Oct. 24. Baron Ricasoli is reported to have resigned. TURIN, October 26. It is asserted that Baron Ricasoli remains in office. Advices received here from Naples, to the evening of the 23rd instant, do not confirm the despatch originating from an official source, announcing that the Garibaldians had entered C apua . King Victor Emmanuel had arrived at Venafro. No further news has been received here concerning the result of the voting in Southern Italy. SERIOUS STATE CONSTA OF THINGS IN TURKEY. NTI, Oct. 17. It is asserted that several ambassadors have requested that Turkey in Asia should be visited by the Grand Vizier, as well as Turkey in Europe, the state of the former being equally serious. Arrests are reported to have been made in the army, and among the lower clergy of Constanti nople. Several Poles and Ferrad Pacha have been arrested. RUSSIA AND A Turin lett er s tates, that th e recall of the P lEDMONT. Russian minister, and the whole legation, is notified on the ground that the g overnment of King Victor Emannuel has never taken any notice of the communication and verbal repre sentation which the court of St. Petersburg thought fit to make to Piedmont respecting every thing connected with recent events, and especially as regards the entrance of Piedmontese troops into the kingdom of Naples. PRUSSIA. In reply to a despatch from the Russian Government, the Cabinet of Berlin has stated that it is now too late to recall the Prussian envoy from Turin ; and that if such a measure was advisable, it should have been carried out immediately after the invasion of the Roman territory. Regent is exp e ct e d at Berlin on the 28th. Prince Bth P . THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, Oct. 24, 3.15 p.m. The Bourse has been dull, and closed rather fiat.

Nothing further, positively certain, has as yet transpired concerning this calamitous event. It is hoped that a full investigation will take place.

The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : THE ROMAN STATES. The Post has received the following telegram from its Paris correspondent :—The last intelli-, gence from Rome states that the Pope has defini tively renounced all idea of quitting the city. Orvieto will not be occupied by the French troops, but will remain to Sardinia. One hundred young men, the elite of Cubitt and Co.'s establishment, have been embodied as a volunteer corps. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge has presented a Alter cup to be shot for by the Cam bridge University irciltinteers; It is generally belieVed. that flirt . of the steamers • • recently wrecked in the Baltic were est in consequence of the pernicious custom of piling up the decks with goods. Admiral Sartorious has addressed a long letter to the Times on steam rams, in which the opinion is expressed that there can be no compromise between the old system of naval construction and of naval warfare and the new, and pronounces in favour of the latter. Mr. Whitworth had an interview with the Emperor Napoleon a few days ago. The official experiments of the Whitworth rifle having been successful, the Emperor is prepared to purchase the French patent, so. as to make the invention available for the French army. Advices from Rio Janeiro, by the French mail, men tion the failure of Mr. A. Curnette, a French resident engaged in the, ilour trade. Liabilities amount to about £l6O 000. He has niade an, arrangement with his creditors to pay 60 per cent. and to Conan& hid btigiiiess. The Times, in a leader, points out the inherent Vacil lation and insincerity of Prussian policy. Prussia is at once Protestant and despotic: she must hold Poland by an understanding with Russia, and the Rhine provinces by an acquiescence in the principles of 'B9. Prussia flutters between two parties, like the bat in the battle between the birds and beasts. She merits, and will receive, the mistrust both of Legitimists and Liberals. POREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday night, Oet. 23, 1860. The following is resume of the latest news given in the Patric of this evening, many parts of which are unusually interesting : The latest despatches from Naples inform us that the electoral operations terminated yesterday, the 22nd. It was thought that' the vote in favour of annexation Would take place, throughout the kingdom of the Two %cities, almost unanimously. This result was foreseen, and has been indicated as certain by the authorities of the different provinces. The Piedmontese corps of General Cialdini was con centrated between Isernia and Venafro, ready to pass the Volturno, an operation which was to be made m a few days, in presence of king Victor Emmanuel. The Neapolitans troops had fallen back upon Capua, Which *as expected to be immediately evacuated. A corps of 15,000 men is to protect the retreat of the to al troops, where they fall back upon Gaeta. From Ancona a letter has been received, dated the 17th, stating that a commission of engineer officers had arrived in that city, and that various important works were shortly to be commenced under their direction. A large quantity of provisions and materiel of war is also to be collected in this place, which is about to become the maritime arsenal of Piedmont in the Adriatic. It is destined, by its proximity to Venice and the Gulf of Trieste, to play a grand rile whenever operations shall be undertaken against Venetia. It is stated that General Goyon, commander of the French divisions in Italy, arrived,at Rome on the 22nd, on his return from an inspection which he had made in the Northern States of the Church. The General has gone, 'it is said, to Orveto above Viterbo,_ to inquire into the state of affairs in that quarter. He found our lines perfectly established, and the country in a complete state of tranquility. Our soldiers have acquired the sympathy of the inhabitants among whom they are living. The Pontifical administration has resumed its regular course. None of the inhabitants have been interfered with on account of their opinions, and reaction has not manifested itself on any point. The rumour of the departure of the Pope, which has been persistently circulated for some days past, has latterly ceased to be circulated. A telegraphic despatch announces that Monsignor Sacconi, . the Nuncio Apostolic at Paris, arrived at Civita Veccha on the morning of the 23rd instant, on board the packet boat of the Quiri nal Company. That portion of the intelligence which refers to the preparations at Ancona for the pending struggle with Austria, is, I have no doubt, quite accurate. Every letter that is being received from Rome at present unites in representing that the pitch of irritation at which the Sovereign Pontiff has arrived, is extreme. The strongest vials of his wrath are not, however, poured out upon Victor Emmanuel, but upon Napoleon 111., whom he looks upon (I am afraid justly) as responsible for all that has happened to him, and whom he accuses above all of having failed in those pro mises which his Holiness considered to be the best guarantees of his security. His Holiness gave the " cold shoulder " to General Gerandon in the most decided manner when be was pre sented to him the other day. At Viterbo, it is said, more than two thousand persons have left the town since it was a g ain placed under the authority of the Pope. A part of those who remain endeavour to avoid in every way coming into contact with the French troops, and do not go near any of the cafes fre quented by the French officers. It is well known that a deputation came to Paris from Viterbo, expressly to entreat of the Emperor that the town might not again be placed under the Pontifical rule. It was received by Prince Napoleon, who gave the members to understand that General de Goyon had been rather exceeding his commission of late. Singularly enough a number of the Gazette de Lyon arrived in Paris and was circulated the day after it was suppressed. The decree contain ing the edict suppressing the paper arrived by a private despatch from Paris, and it did not reach the office until after the issue of that morning had been sent off. The effect p roduced b y the suppression of this paper among the party whose organ it is, has been proportionably great, from its being quite understood that any other paper which advocates the same side on the Roman question is struck at by this measure. In short, a decided breach has taken place between the Emperor and the ultrttmontane party in the Church, which is very much to be rejoiced at on many accounts. In a very remarkable leading article upon the Warsaw interview, the National Gazette of Ber lin declares that the meeting of the Three Powers will probably only serve better to elimi nate the opposition which exists between the interests of each. This journal says— Public opinion in Russia explicitly repudiates the coalition and the Austrian alliance. The Russian noblesse condemned the reactionary and exclusive policy of the Emperor Nicholas. All that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg desires is to recover the influence and supre macy which Russia possessed in the East. It aspires, la one word, to a revision of the treaty of 1856—a revision which it can only obtain with the concurrence of France, and by means of a European Congress. As for the question of the nationalities, the Czar, in spite of the recall of his AmbOsador from Turin, will observe as much as possible a wise reserve. As for Prussia, it will need to guard itself from yield ing to legitimist tendencies, in order t h at it may not compromise itself by perilous engagements. It will need, above all, to cease from maintaining a position too decided against France. Although an intimate alliance THE GRAND BAZAAR IN AID OF THE LIVERPOOL INDUSTRIAL RAGGED SCHOOLS: Yesterday, the visitors to the Banat were even More numerous than on either of the preceding days; and although such an immense quantity of articles had been carried away, the stalls appeared pretty well fUrnished. As. the day advanced, however; it was evident that the business qualities of the fair vendors had considerably diminished their stock. For instance, in the early even ing, the stall held jointly by. Mrs. S. It. Graves and Mrs. Rankin assumed rather a bare appearance. The tasteful, ornamental, and useful articles which on the day before had attracted universal attention and adnii ration were non aunt. Similar remarks may be applied with equal force to the stall presided over by the Mayoress and Mrs. G. H. Horsfall, and indeed to every other ; yet, for all that, the most strenuous efforts were made to clear the, hall of the goods, or in the drapers' phrase to sell off, not, however, so far as we could learn, at enormous discount, for up to ten o'clock last night the prices of Monday were asked and obtained. Nothing could be more gratifying than the rivalry observable amongst the whole of the stall keepers, "no connection with any other establishment," fancifully printed on fanciful paper, beink suspended over some of the stalls. Scores of the fairest of the fair daughters of the "good old town" paraded, as usual, along .the hall, and by their persuasive power always succeeded in vending their articles to those who could not resist the force of beauty and musical argu ments—who cans The number of gentlemen employed was considerably increased; and they helped materially to keep up the joyous spirits of the visitors by offering wax dolls or miniature cradles to youthful visitors, just "to teach the young idea_how to shoot." A pleasing feature in the proceedings of the day Was the original manner in which Toast-master Toole acted the part of mock auctioneer at the Lady Mayoress's stall. He set the place "in a roar" by his humorous remarks upon the various articles offered to the fair portion of the public, blic by whom he was surrounded ; a n d h e was amply repaid, we think, by the very prompt manner in which his appeals on behalf of the Industrial School were answered. The neighbourhood of the Post-office was, of course, the centre of attraction for most of the visitors, some of whom were not a little surprised to find letters properly addressed awaiting their inspection; as they were unstamped, however, the postmistresses, Mrs. Henry Thomas and Mrs. Marshall, took good care that the postage was paid before they allowed them to go out of their hands. A great many visitors retired to the galleries, and whiled away the sluggish hours in wit nessing the motions of the crowd beneath. The scene from the galleries was certainly most lovely, but the sounds of many voices reminded the hearer of the story of the confusion of tongues. The bands were in attendance, and Mr. Best delighted the visitors by his exquisite performances on the Organ in the afternoon. The bazaar will continue open to-day at the reduced charge of sixpence. A quantity of fancy articles will be sold by auction. The "monster raffle" at the school stall will take place at seven o'clock. The amounts of receipts yesterday at the closing of tbe stalls were as follow : No. 1, Mrs. Rankin and Mrs. S. R. Graves, 3rd day, £96 Is. ; three days, £370. No. 2, M rs .

SUDDEN DEATlL—Yesterday morning a man named William Wadeson, forty-two years of age, who was employed in a smithy at Mr. Gregson's saw-mill, Lower Harrington, fell dead in the street, being up to the moment in good health. GREAT SALE OF HORSES AT LLOYD'S, NEWINGTON. —The sale, to-morrow, at Mr. Lloyd's well-known repository, Newington, possesses more than the usual attraction. The stock entered for public competition is varied and superior in the different classes, and from .the well-known character of the establishment, and the confidence placed in Mr. Asberry, the eminent auc tioneer, the public who may require horses of any class can depend on both as a guarantee without chance of disappointment. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. HUGIIES.—Last night Mr. T, B. Hughes, who has for many years been largely con nected with the business management of building societies, was entertained at dinner in the Adelphi Hotel, by upwards of seventy gentlemen, and presonted with a silver tea and coffee service, acco mpanied by a silver salver and other plate. Mr. Stuart, watchmaker, occu pied the chair ; among those present we noticed Messrs. J. Stuart, H. Stuart, D. Evans, Shimmin, Siddeley, J. Hughes, W. Wensley, W. Thomson, Joseph Harrison, W. Huntington, T. Huntington, R. Holden, 0. Wil liams, J. B. Carter, Towson, and G. W. Hunter. The evening's preceedings were most harmonious. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts,. Mr. Stuart proposed the toast of the evening, and presented the testimonial, altogether in value about £l2O, which was suitably and feelingly acknowledged by Mr. Hughes. Many toasts followed, among which was " the Press," acknowledged by the representative of this paper. We regret that the pressure of advertisements and other matter upon our space positively prevents us from giving anything like the report of the proceedings which we bad intended to furnish. We have only space to say that we wish all honour to Mr. Hughes and the building societies with which he has been so long honourably connected. ADVENTURE WITH A LION.-1 he Inde'pendant of Constantina (Algeria) publishes the following account of a perilous adventure with a lion :—" The well-known hunter, Chassaing, residing at Constantina, left that town lately with a friend, Captain de St. Marc, for a few days' sport in the mountains. When near the top of the Bou-Arif, he encountered a huge lion, and lodged two balls in its shoulder, but the wounded animal escaped into the wood, roaring with pain and fury. On the fol lowing day, M. Chassaing and his friend traced the lion to an extensive thicket, and while the former was searching among the bushes the lion suddenly sprang on him, threw him down, seized his arm—the bone of which was instantly broken—between his powerful jaws, and was dragging the unfortunate hunter into the woods, when at that critical moment Captain de St. Marc came up, and, after discharging his rifle at the lion, finished him with one of Chassaing's pistols. While in the lion's fearful grip, Cha ssa i ng never lost his presence of mind, but, struggling with his antagonist to prevent him from springing on the captain, whose ammunition was exhausted, be cried out to the latter to approach and take the pistols from his belt, which were still charged. After dispatching the lion, the captain dressed his friend's wound as well as he could, and they then returned to Constantina to obtain aid." THE DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1860 PItOFESSOR - OiILISDBA FRIKELL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. have been requested A , Messrs. Chappell and Co., of London, who are the agents in England for Pro fessor Frikell, to announce that he is at present on the Continent, and that persons who are giving entertain ments in his name in Birkenhead and other places, have iro Cmineetion With him whatoer.--Yours truly, rt.. It: ffittliTINGAM, Liverpool, Oct. COMMITTAL. OF EVAN TIOMAS; FOR MANSLAUGHTER, BY pig I'ItATEg AT BIRKENHEAD: itesterday morning at the Birken4ead Police-court, Mr. Evan Thomas, &e 4011 known boriesette, appeared before the magistrates upon an intestigation, as to the death of a Attie boy named Francis Timlin. Mr, J. B. Aspinall, barrister, instructed by Mr. Clarke Aspinall, appeared for Mr. Evan Thomas. It will be recollected that some time ago an inquest was held on the body of the deceased, which resulted in a verdict of manslaughter against Evan Thomas. The facts connected with the boy's death have been before detailed in these columns, and it will be unnecessary to repeat them here. After the evidence relating to the boy's death had been taken yesterday, the medical evidence was heard. Dr. Lambert was the principal witness at the inquest, and he was again examined yesterday. lie stated that he saw the boy on Friday, and etarriuted his leg; he con sidered that ail aliseess *as about to form, ordered poultices, and riroutised, to Call in afe* days. He saw the deceased on th e folldWing,;. ,Monda:Y, and found his leg splintered; he found that the leg had Veen treated as though it were fractured. He pulled off the splints; he did not believe the leg to be fractured. On the 11th instant he made a post mortem examina tion of the deceased. On examining the right thigh he made an incision on the outer side, which was followed by the escape of several ounces of matter. The matter was found to be infiltrated among the muscles . and around the bone, to the extent of several inches. The thigh bone was then removed entire, and there was 510 fracture of the bone whatever. The chest was opened, and the lungs found to be congested, and on removal of the pleurae a considerable quantity of serum was found to be infused into the cavities. 'there were also adhe siolis between the pleurd costalis, and the pleurae pul monalia and pericardium. On the opening of the peri cardium, it was found to he .ahriost gilled with turbid serum, and there was a considerible deposition of lymph over the whole surface of the heart, On eiarifitiung the heart, three distinct abscesses were discovered in the substance of the right ventricle. The liver, spleen, and abdominal viscera presented no unusual appearances ; both of the kidneys were studded with minute deposits of pus. The brain was slightly congested. The knee joint was healthy. He considered that death was produced by pymmia—a diseased state of the blood, caused by the absorption of decomposing matter into the circula tion. Pressure by bandaging would produce the absorp tion of the abscess. He believed that the bandages applied to the leg in this case produced the prelim which resulted in death. His servaht did no t t e ll hi m that Mrs: Timlin had called on the Saturday following the day on which he had first seen the deceased. He did not think it necessary to go on that day, or he would have done so ; he would not have called on that day had it been a paying case. After Dr. Lambert's evidence, two other medical men were examined, who siipported his view of the case, and considered that the b an d ag i ng ca used death. For the defence Mr. Aspinall called Dr. Roberts (a brother-in-law of Mr. Evan Thomas), Dr. Pope, and Dr. Lodge, and each of these gentlemen assigned a cause of death different to that given by the witnesses for the prosecution. They did not con sider that from the symptoms noticed by Mr. Evan Thomas and his son the treatment adopted was improper. They considered that it was dangerous to take the child across the water, in the state in which its leg was, on Saturday. At the close of this evidence, Mr. J. B. Aspinall addressed the bench on behalf of Mr. Evan Thomas. He denounced the prosecution as a Most dis graceful attempt on the part of the medical practitioners to persecute Mr. Evan Thomas, who did not happen to belong to the " faculty." In reviewing the case, the bench would find that there were two questions which they had to try, before committing the prisoner for trial upon such a grave charge as that of manslaughter. The first of these questions was this, " Did Mr. Evan Thomai in the first instance do wrong ?" It was a well known fact that every medical man must, in the course of his life cause a number of deaths. There was no doubt about it ; medical science was not yet a perfect science, and the only thing a professional man could do was to give his opinion to the best of his ability. He (Mr. Aspinall) would like to know which of those medical men who had come forward on the other side that day, would undertake to swear that he had always done right. The question was, " Did Mr. Evan Thomas in thinking there was a probable fracture exhibit such a gross amount of ignorance as to make it criminal ?" And then, assuming the bench could, upon the evidence, return an affirmative answer to this question, they must further be of opinion that what he did caused the death of the boy Francis Timlin. It was possible that the prosecution would say that because what was called one tribunal bad sent Mr. Evan Thomas for trial, the Bench would necessarily do the same, and would be tied to the same decision. Now that was the strongest reason why the reverse should be the case. Because if the case would, independently of the present decision, be further investi g ated, where was the necessity, i n thi s case at least, for putting the country to the expense of another committal. The Bench had probably seen some of the motives which had actuated the whole of the prosecution. They had Doctor Lambert coming before them, and he says : --" I am the parish doctor, and when I looked at the child I thought it was suffering from an abscess. I did not examine its leg. I did not examine any of its organs, but I felt its pulse." Dr. Lambert did not call again the next day, and he had the audacity to come here and say that he would not have called again if it had been a paying case. Was it not apparent that, even though it was a pauper case, it was Dr. Lambert's duty to call again. The poor mother went the next morning to that workhouse doctor, and applied to his servant—she could not see the doctor; perhaps he was not up,—telling her that the boy was much worse. Dr. Lambert now pretended that his servant did not tell him. The parents afterwards made a second application, and succeeded in seeing the doctor himself, who called at six o'clock on the evening preceding the child's death. And then his dor mant energies were aroused—before it was only the case of a poor pauper child that was ill, now it was a case against Evan Thomas for the exercise of all spleen, all malice, and all uncharitableness. The doctor says that then he pointed out to the woman that the leg was not fractured. The next day, when the child is dead, another doctor is sent for, and the two come to the conclusion that the leg was not fractured. They then send for the policeman; an inquest will be held, and the coroner (being another medical man) will come all the earlier. In the course of the coroner's address to the jury, that gentleman tried to impute swindling to Mr. Evan Thomas, but he (Mr. Aspinall) would venture to say that whatever Mr. Thomas was, he is as respectable a man as ever Mr. Churton was in his life. Mr. Aspinall would submit that, if there had been any neglect in this case, it was on the part of the parish doctor. When a person undertook a case of this kind, lie was bound to pay as much attention as he would give if it were what is called a paying case. Yet, when the doctor goes a first time, he thinks there is a n abscess, and does not condescend to go again until the child is nearly dead. The father takes the child across the water to Evan Thomas, where Mr. Thomas and his 1 1 son examine it—and who would sa y that theirli d opinion was was hastily formed? No man guaranteed his opinion to be right. He merely ga ve it as bona as being the result of his ex perience. lie asked the bench to look at both sides of the evidence, and then consider whether any jury in the world would convict of such a crime upon such evidence. Did the case go for trial merely on the coroner's committal, it was pro bable that that functionary would have to pay the expense himself; but was there any reason why th e county should also defray the cost. In conclusion, the learned gentleman referred to the high opinion which every one entertained of Evan Thomas, and urged upon the bench, if they thought that this case should be further investigated, to let it stand, but not put their seal to such an attempt at gross conspiracy. The magistrates then retired, and, after• a short absence from Court, returned and state fortheydthattfroiral. rrh con siderede it better that the ease s hould go trial on prisoner was accordingly formally committed the charge of manslaughter. The observation of the Coroner, which Mr. Aspinall referred to, was as follows ' • —" There was an observation made at our last sitting by one of the jurymen in whic h I perfectly coincided, namely, that Mr. Evan Thoma s had certainly on swindled the poor father out of a - cert ain sum of money, by pre tending seems tending that the child's leg was fractured m , an also that the child underwent the mockery of a reduction of the fracture, for which the father was charged 10s. 7owever, that is not a mat ter for y our consideration." CORONER'S COVRT.—Yesterday the coroner held th e following inquests : — O n the bod y of Catherine Walsh. 71 years of age, who l ived at 31, Mold-street. The deceased was found burnt in bed, by her son, on Tues day morning. Verdict, "Found burnt, but how the fire originated there was on evidence to show."—O n the body of John William B ohan, a child that was overlain in bed at 5 Conrt, Oriel-street. Verdict— " Accidentally suffocated." —On the bod y of Willi am Corlett, a lath cleaver, 72 years of age, who died in the Southern Hospital, in cons e q uence of injuries he receive 4 by falling through a trap-door in a stable in a court, off Parliament-street. The affair was an accident, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly. —On the body of Esther Quirk, 54 years of age, the wife of a tanner, who lives at 9 Court, Kew-street. She was given to drink, and on Tuesday night she had had a good deal of ale and porter. Her husband missed her out of bed at 12 o'clock, and on going down stairs he found her dead on a table. Sbe was subject to spasms in the stomach. Verdict, "Died of apoplexy, from excessive drinking."—On the body of Robert Hall, a cooper, who died in consequence of an injury accidentally inflicted by himself with a draw-knife. There was no blame to any one. Verdict, " Accidental death." MEETING OP OPERATIVE BARERS.—Last night, the adjourned meeting of the operative bakers of tins town and Birkenhead, was held at the St. George's-rooms, in Lime-street, with the view of forming an organisation to abolish the present excessive hours of labour. Mr. John Elliott was appointed to the chair ; and explained clearly the grievances of which the operative bakers complain ; but wished it to be borne in mind tb at he spoke not of individuals, but of a system. Their first complaint was of the unlimited length of time which they had to work for a fixed remuneration. The hours of labour often amounted to from 16 and 18 to 20. A journeyman baker who had seen him since their last meeting had told him that he went to work on Friday morning, at four o'clock, and did not finish that night till half-past eight. He had then two hours' intermission, and did not finally get away till seven o'clock on Saturday night. The Chairman then explained that several meetings of the committee had been held, with the view of form ing a trade society. He thought, himself, they could accomplish all they wanted without a strike, or any thing of that sort. If they got public opinion with them, they could go with a petition to the masters, and get them to sign It.—Mr. John Coghlan, the secretary, read some of the rules of the proposed society, so far as they had been agreed upon ; and after much discussion on the part of those present, the basis of an association was formed, Liverpool being divided into eight districts for the purpose. , . LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT. YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) 4TE kaNct A CRUCIFIX. Thomas Garside,` 4116"keePs' a lleerhoiise in Rupert street, and his servant, Anit4" ATido4d, were . charged under the following circumstance :--From t'h?.evidence of several witnesses, including Detective-effieer Caens, it 'appeared that on the night of Thursday fast; the parlour of a Mr. John Verdon, who lives at 8, Hawke street, and who is the secretary of the Catholic . Young Men's Society, was entered about half-past ten, and on that eceasion a brass crucifix value £4 10s., a scarf value Xi; a goat aftd trousers, and a box containing £7 10s. were stolen theteout Mt Tuesday evening the female prisoner'Ant to a brokeids show kept by a Mrs, Guy, en C y3IS h , and.offered the oriteitik for sale. Mrs. Guy sent it do a nefghbouri named Spellman, Vito at once recognis4d it as that which had been st o l e n tidtii Ilawke4treet,, and gait tii woman into' custody: She stated to. Cozens that she got it froze a sailor who lodged at her master's house. Cozens thee went to) the houSe of t;he male prisoner,', and made, enciniry a Mm hdvi he came by . , the cruifii. He stated ttlat he got, it from a sat& named "Dublin Jack," who lodged in his house for four nights and. that he sent the female pri soner along with his wife to stir it for the sailor :* he sent his wife to see that the girl did not cheat the sailor. In consequence of some contrary and &antra dictory statements made by the prisoner, and finding a large number of pawn tickets in the house, relating to wearing apparel, watches, and other property, he took him into custody. Mr. Kehoe asked for a remand, as the pawn tickets related to property that could not belong to the prisoner, and he wished to have proper enquiry made into the whole affair. The pri soners were then remanded for further enquiry. A BRUTE! Dmiegati, described as a plasterer, was bicafght on ferdandi charged with having pushed a red hot pokex iiitd the .el'e of his Wife; the night of the 16th of Oetobei. The details of this case appeared a few days ago, the facts being that oh' the ilight of the 16th, the prisoner was drunk, aild N7hilst that state, he put the poker in the fire, and when it was red hot, , he poked it into the eye of his wife, saying that v/a what she wanted. She has been under the care of Dr. Nevins since, and although she was very much injured, the doctor said she was now out of danger. The pri soner was sent for trial. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER. Four desperate looking ruffians, named Richard Red man; Patrick Clarke, George Booth, and George John ston, Were brought up cut remand, charged with havinc , connnitted a desperate anima on police officer M‘Donald t , (367,) 6n the night of the 16th October. Mr. Bluck appeared for Clarke, and Mr. Cow fot Redman, The facts of.this case were published in Or paper fi few days ago; It appeared that on the night in questioe, thee was d ro* in Great Howard street, and the prisoners, with other, were engaged in it. The officer put them away, and went down DerriSun-street, When he was attacked in a furious manner, knoc'ke'd clo'vhi, and kicked most barbarously in the head, on the face, and abbut the body, and his nose was terribly injured. These fads were proved by several • witnesses, when Mr. Cobb and Mr. Bluck made two speeches for their respective clients, but the power of forensic eloquence could not alter the facts, and his worship sent the prisoners for trial at the sessions. A BUTTER DEALER AND HIS WIFE. Mathew Casey, described as an importer of butter, who lives at 37, Hunter-street, was charged by Mary, his wife, with having assaulted her. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prosecution, and stated the case, which was supported by evidence, and appeared to be as follows — The defendant went to live with another woman and abandoned his wife. A regulation was made that he was to allow her 7s. a week, but since the 16th of August she did not get any money. She went to get some money, and met him with the other woman, and when she asked him for money he knocked her down and kicked her. Mr. Parker, for the prisoner, cross examined the complainant, but his questions were about the prisoners income, and not about the assault. Some witnesses were produced for the complainant, after which his Worship decided on fining the prisoner £2 or two months' imprisonment. (Before Messrs. R. GLADSTONE and CASTELLAIN.) CAUTION TO BUILDERS. Mr. M'Gowan, of the Health Committee, appeared to complain of William Harley for having, without the consent or license of the Health Committee, removed some of the pavement from Great Mersey-street, avid for having put down rubbish in its place contrary to the act, &c. Several witnesses were called and proved the case, and a fine of £2 and costs was inflicted. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS. The weekly Meeting of this board was held yesterday at the Workhouse. Mr. Reyes presided ; and the other members present ware—Messrs. Abrahams, Ledger, Smith, Roberts, Shaw, Webster, Garrett, Wareham, Pilling, Jeffery, Richmond, and Wright. From the Governor's return it appeared that the total number of inmates in the house is 342 ; and in the corresponding week last year, 295. In the hospital there are 27 inmates. Cheques for out-door relief were granted as follow — Mr. Potts, £ll5 ; Mr. Roberton, £36; a n d Mr. Lythgoe, ANOTHER SCENE ! _ Before the commencement of the regular proceedings, Mr. &Arm said the master of the Workhouse is here, and before he leaves the room, I demand that the book of accounts be left on the table. The CHAIRMAN—You cannot do it. Mr. can do it. The CHAIRMAN—A resolution was passed that they be not laid on the table. Mr. SMITH—It iS law; and I have a right to demand them. The CHAIRMAN — They shall only be given up if the board so determines. Mr. SMITH—The board! The board has no right in the matter. • Besides, if they did, they are traitors if they . obstruut looking at the books. What! is he to keep an account, and we know nothing of it ? Why, it is our own money. What would a merchant say if his clerk or cashier would not let him see his accounts. It is our money ; and more than.that, we are trustees on behalf of others. The CHAIRMAN—That is nothing : the board cannot trust you with them. Mr. SMITH—You are cheats and traitors! You have the other books here, but not the books of account. I demand them. The CHAIRMAN—Very well. It is all right. You won't get them. (Laughter.) We cannot trust you with them. Mr. SMITH—I say you are cheats and traitors. Mr. Ronmrs—Say I am one. Mr. SMITH—I cannot hear your speeches ; but I can see and read when such a thing as that was done. A schedule account was shown to put you wrong ; but the alteration only shows that neither master nor man, nor any of the guar di an s knows anything about the forms of b oo k s . l ale (pointing to Mr. Gough, the governor), knows nothing about books, or he would never have made the alterations in one book ; all must have been altered, the cash book and the day book. If there is a botch, who did it ? The 011 AIRMAN—Mr. Smith, if you don't keep order you will be put out. Mr. SMITH—I shall not need to be put out. lam in my place, doing my duty ; and you are doing the con trary, sir. I will stick to you to the last. Mr. ROBERTS — We should lock him up during busi ness hours. Mr. SMITH—When I read what you said after I left the room last Wednesday, I determined to alter my plan. The CHAIRMAN — You said you would not come again. Why did you not stop away ? I hoped you would. You are a bad old man ! Mr. SMITH—I say you are traitors and cheats. There is one gentleman assessed at only £lB a year coming here to deal with thousands of pounds. He has no qualification ; but here he is, your leader in roguery! Mr. ROBERTS — Whom do you mean ? Mr. Smrrx r —All of you know him well enough. He is•your neighbour. (Mr. Ledger was understood to be the person referred to.) Mr. Ronenrs.—You are not afraid to speak out. Mr. SMITH—NTO, it is altogether a cheat. Aye, and I have proved, as you know, that £959 were filched in one year. The CHAIRMAN — Mr. Smith, your statements were proved false altogether ; and we shall hear no more of what you say. We don't believe you. Mr. RonEuTs:—Let the old man be used up. Mr. SMlTH—Leave the books on the table, and then I will be quiet. As to ordering the contrary, how could anyone have moved such a resolution ? I always copied in pencil when I copied from the book, and I have volumes from it. I did it f rom amusement, and to see what you are doing. I have them at home, and I copied them in pencil. Besides — The CHAIRMAN—SiIence, old man Mr. SMITH—I dare any man. I reac hed the file — (Mr. Smith here continued to talk for some time in a most incoherent strain, and with unusual vehemence and excitement). The CHAIRMAN —Are you done ? Mr. SMITH—WeII, go on now with your business. Mr. ROBERTS—Turn it now. The CHAIRMAN—He ought to be in an asylum. Are you blown off ? quietly for some time ; and t h e n got up and left the room, amidst the exclamations of good morning." The ordinary business of the board was then pro ceeded with ; but it was mer ely of a routine character. ----_—=----- COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT, YESTERDAY. —A man named Dan Coony, of Henry Edward-street, Liver pool, was brought before Messrs.

JAMES' CHORAL SOCIETY.-- concert was given by the members of this society on Tuesday evening last, in the Assembly-rooms, Great George-street, before a highly respectable audience. The concert was under the patronage of the 63rd Rifle Volunteers of Toxteth park, the members of which, together with their efficient officers (Captain Simm, Lieut. Nuttall, Ensign Bathgate, &c., &c.), were present. , The p rogramme was divided into two parts, the first part comprising. selections from the ~ Messiah," and the second part being of a miscel laneous description. The members were assisr^r l by Mr. T. J. Hughes, whose rendering of " But who ma Aide the day of His coming " was much appre. rated and well merited the hearty applause which it ...,...tved : indeed, Mr/ Hughes was never in finer order. miss Bruce, Miss Annie Shearson, Miss Arthur, Mr. English, which and Mr. H. C. Hunt acquitted themselves in a ,manner highly satisfactory. Several encores were obtained Cave," during the evening. Vire must not omit to mention a song—" The Honey Bee," by Miss Cole ; nor must we forget Miss Bruce's " Mother dear, good bye," she sang on being encored in " The Mermaid's both of which pieces were given with beautiful effect. Mr. Ewart, a young gentleman, a pupil of Mr. D . C. Browne, the conductor, wa s the accompanyist , and he played the very difficult choruses of the "l Messiah " in a masterly style. The members of te society are nearly all residents of Toxteth-Park, and it i s to be hoped that the public will, on all future occa sionsites erve of their concerts, patro nise them as liberall y as they did on Tuesday last, for societies of this descrip tion do a vast amount of good; and as this society ha only been in existence three years, the com great praise for its very efficient working, VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

Among the recent visitors attracted to Paris by the "Tit " came Mr. Whitworth, the engineer. lie arrived on Monday l the 9th instant, and in the course of that day saw Mr. Cobden, Itho probably became—through M. Fould or sonie other medium—the means of acquaint ing, the Emperor that the intontat of the polygonal system of rifling was in the French metropolis, How ever the infottnation may have reached him, certain it is that on Wednesday morning a communication was made by his Majesty to Mr. 'Whitworth, that he wished to see him on Friday at a given hotir, M the time appointed Mr. Whitworth presented himself, and was very graciously received. The Emperor had already l'frgrag-ed to secure several of Mr. Whitworth's rifles, and sho\fect himself perfectly conversant with the principle upon which they are constructed, but stated that, on trial they had been found to foul. The engineer answered that with fair treatment this was not possible, and the Emperor having invited him to test his weapon at Vincennes he readily agreed to do so against the best rifles that could be produced in com petition with it. He accordingly telegraphed to Man chester for his assistant, Mr. Leese, who it will be recollected was the winger of the shooting match at Southport. Mr. Leese arrived ix Paris on Sunday, and on Monday the range, which was tor 500, 700, and 1,000 metres, was marked out at Vincennee f and a commission appointed to superintend the trial and repcirt, and all preliminaries adjusted. On Tuesday the trial took place, and the superiority of the Whitworth rifle was so manifest and decisive that at the 700 metres' range the French marksmen retired from the contest com pletely discomfited. The same evening the report of the Commission must have reached the Emperor, for on Wednesday morning it was intimated to Mr. Whitworth that the experiment was considered very satisfactory', that His Majesty wished a number of rifles to be made for him; that he would send an officer to Southport to see the cannon tested as soon as arrangements could be made for that purpose ; and that, provided there was no objection presented by the nature of the ammunition used, he was prepared without any delay to negotiate for the purchase of the French patent, so as to make the invention available for the service. I think it quite unnecessary to comment on the foregoing facts ; but, as they might lead to inferences injurious to Mr. Whitworth's patriotism, it is only fair to state' that early in 1857 he clearly demonstrated at Irythe, in the presence of Lord Panmure, then Minister of War, the great superiority of his rifle over the Enfield —a superiority which the impulse given by the volunteer movement to rifle practice has now placed beyond question. During] the long period which has since elapsed, no serious steps have been taken by the English Government to secure for the army or navy either the cannon or the rifle, although Mr. Whitworth has made every exertion to get them introduced into the service. Napoleon 111. having won Solferino by his new artil lery, is not tho man to neglect a chance for excelling Enfield and Armstrong, and, if he accomplish this by jumping at a mechanical invention, which our War department, after in a great measure paying for it, has neglected to utilise, his triumph will be complete.—Paris letter.

A letter from Berlin, October 20, says :—" When we consider the great number of diplomatic personages and Aulic and Privy Councillors of the Russian, Austrian, and Prussian nations who will be collected at Warsaw, it is impossible to doubt that deliberations will take place respecting the great political affairs which now agitate the public mind in Europe, and that eng agements w ill b e mutua ll y en t ere d into between the three Sovereigns, independent of, and without the participation of France and Eng land, that will give a new aspect to the situation of Europe. It is to be regretted that England should be excluded from these important deliberations, and the decisions in which they may result, in consequence of the policy of the British Ministry in encouraging and supporting, contrary to the law of nations, the invasion, without even a plausible motive, by the Ple'lllolltCSo army of the kingdom of Naples, and this on the sole authority of a simple minister of state, M. de Cavour, who did not shrink from declaring the throne vacant in his speech to the Parliament Turin. It requires no great degree of penetration to understand that such doctrines, which would destroy all the institu tutions that legally exist in Europe ' a nd with the execu tion of which Lords J. Russell and Palmerston have so inconsiderately associated themselves, will of necessity be repudiated and stigmatised by the three Sove reigns who will have met at Warsaw before this letter reaches you. What is infinitely to be regret ted, also, is, that England has maintained and pushed, much farther than France even, these revo lutionary principles in Ita)y. Louis Napoleon seeks the . e ? xtra T r h e e v r o o l s evidently to arrest their co a u o rs d e oboyamanpraopolpariomaechd by the policy of legality, order, the three Courts of the North. What will be the pal ptiaoboloetyapnoduceyv evident consequence o c E on o s g e l q i u sh ence absolutely no power in Europe, France included, which will follow in this dangerous path, by acting so obviously Government of against the law of nations ; and England by so doing will incur the risk of being reduced to a state of corn- Ilete isolation." NAPLES.—The following is an extract from a Naples letter of the 16th :—" A party of English, 670 in num ber, were landed here yesterday from England t o j o i n the army of Garibaldi. They excited sonic commotion in Naples. The French fleet, after many months' stay in the Bay, left this morning—we suppose not to coun tenance the presence of the king of Sardinia in these dominions. The decree confiscating the property of the archbishops and bishops was annulled in last night's Oficial Journal." . THE ROMAN CATHOLIC OBEDIENCE • IN 1860. A correspondent sends us the following statis tids respecting the present state of the Roman Catholic Ilidrarchy in all parts of the world, which he has tai ion. from the Correspondance de Rome:— The Catholic world compre'hend's 1 1 ,007 bishoprics or prelatures, possessing episcopal jurisdictibit under divers titles, vicariats apostolic,, abbatial jurisdictions, or terri tories .without dioceses: These 1,007 dioceses or cireum scriptioes of territory, which bear one name or another, are subdivided in the following manner :-681 for Europe, 128 for Asia, 29 for Africa, 147 for America, and 28' for the Oceanic Islands. Europe possesses 2 patriarchs, archbishops, 484 bishops, 45 cathedral's, /5' abbots or priors with quasi episcopal jurisdiction, 6 military chaplaincies, 18 vicars or delegates and prefects apostolic. There are in Asia 6 patriarchs, a archbishops, 54 bishops, 65 vicars and p re fe c ts a postolic. Africa has 10 bishops, and 19 vicars and prefects apostolic. America has 22 archbishops, 115 bishops, and 9 vicars apostolic. The Islands in the Ocean, including Australia, have 2' archbishops, 12 bishops, 8 vicars apostolic, and 1 pre late apostolic.

The following is a sort of memorandum pub lished by Garibaldi in the Indipendente of Naples, the new journal of Alexandre Dumas. It is entitled " The present state of Europe, and what it Might be for the benefit of governments and of popuktions :" It is knawn' to all men of intelligence that Europe is very far from being in a normal state, or in one which suits its populations. France, which :without contradiction occupies the first rank among the European powers, maintains for her internal security 600,000 soldiers under arms, one of the finest fleets in the world, and an immense number of functionaries. England has not the same number of soldiers, but she has a superior fleet, and perhaps a greater number of functionaries for the security of her distant possessions. Russia and Prussia, to maintain themselves on a level with the otheri, also require to pay immense armies. The secondary states—if only from a spirit of imita tion, and, so to speak, to pay their right of presence— ate obliged to keep themselves proportionally on a similar footing. I will not speak of Austria and the Ottoman Empire, which are condemned to come to an end for the happi ness of the unfortunate populations which they oppressed for so many centuries. We may, however, justly ask, why does this agitated and violent state of Europe exist ? Everybody speaks of civilisation and progress! It seems to me that we do sot differ much—luxury excepted—from primitive times, when men made war on each other to seem e a prey. We pass our lives in menacing each other continually and reciprocally; and yet the great majority in Europe, not only of meta of intelligence but o common sense, perfectly understand that we might pass through this poor life of ours without that perpetual state of menace and of hostility one against the other, and without the necessity—which seems fatally imposed upon nations by some secret and invisible enemy of humanity—of slaying each other with so much science and refinement. For example, let us suppose one thing—that Europe formed a single state. Who would think of disturbing her ? To whom, I ask, would come the idea of troubling the repose of Europe, the sovereign of the world ? In the supposition we have made there would be no more army, no mare fleets ; and the immense capital which is almost always wrung from the wants and the misery of the people, and is prodigally spent in murderous and unproductive services, would be converted to their advantage, into a colossal development of industry, into the amelioration of roads, the building of bridges, the cutting of canals, the foundation of public establish ments, and the erection of schools, which would rescue from misery and ignorance so many poor creatures, who, in all countries of the world, whatever be their degree of eirilicatinn, are conderrathti. to a state of brutishness, to prostitution of soul and body, by the selfishness, cal culation, or bad administration of privileged and power ful classes. Well, the realisation of the social reforms which I mention depends simply on a powerful and generous initiative ; for, I ask, in what circumstances has Europe ever more than now presented chances of success for these humane measures ? Let us examine the situation as it is at the present moment. Alexander 11. in Russia, proclaiming the emancipa tion of the serfs ; Victor Emmanuel in Italy, casting his sceptre into the field of battle, and exposing . his person for the regeneration of a noble race and a great nation ; in England, a virtuous Queen and a generous and prudent nation, which supports with enthusiasm the cause of oppressed nationalities; and France called to be arbitress of Europe by the mass of her concen trated population, by the bravery of her soldiers, and the recent prestige of the most brilliant period of her military history—to which of them will be the initiative of this great enterprise ? To the country which marches as the advanced guard of the revolution! Is not the idea of a European confederation. which has been put forward by the chief of the French Empire, and the realisation of which would cause the secnrity and happiness of the world—is it not better than all the political combinations which daily agitate and torment the poor people ? The prospect of the atrocious destruc tion which a single combat between the great Western Powers would occasion, must cause to shudder with terror the man who should even think of ordering it, and probably there will never he one so basely coura geous as to take the frightful responsibility of it. The rivalry which has existed between France and England from the 14th century down to the present day still continues, but with far less intensity at present, and we mention this fact to the glory of human progress ; so that an arrangement between the two greatest nations of Europe—an arrangement whim would have tur its object the welfare o humanity—can no longer be regarded as the dream, the utopia of generous minds. The basis of an European confederation is therefore naturally traced by France and England. Let France and England but join frankly and cordially, and Italy Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece, and Roumelia will come of themselves, as it were in stinctively, and range themselves around. Lastly, all the divided and oppressed nationalities, Slavonian, Celtic, Germanic, and Scandinavian — gigantic Russia included—will be unwilling to stand aloof from the political regeneration to which the spirit of the age invites them. I am aware that a very natural objection may be made to the project here propounded. What is to become of the innumerable mass of men at present employed for warlike purposes by sea and land ? The answer is easy : With the disbanding of these forces nations would be delivered from oppression and injurious institutions, and the mind of Sovereigns ceasing to be occupied with schemes of ambition, conquest, war, and destruction, would be directed to wards the creation of useful institutions, and would descend from the study of generalities to that of families and even of individuals. • Moreover, by the extension of manufactures and the security of trade, the mercantile marine would immediately absorb the active portion of the military navies, and the incalculable odantity of work produced by peace, association, and security, would afford ample occupation for all the armed popu lation, even were their numbers double what they are. War being next to impossible, armies would be useless. But it would still be advisable to maintain the people in warlike and generous habits, by means of national militia, who would be always at hand to repress disorder, and whatever ambition might attempt to infringe the European pact. I ardently desire that these words may come to the knowledge of those to whom God has confided this holy mission of doing good, and that they will indeed do it, preferring to a false and ephemeral grandeur the true grandeur based upon the love and gratitude of nations. The R.M.S. Prince Albert sailed from Galway on Tuesday, at one o'clock p.m., for St. John's, N. F., and New York, with mails, latest telegrams, full cargo and seven hundred and eighty passengers. THE CURRANT CROP.—A letter from Patras (Greece) states that the crop of currants is unusually abundant this year, and of good quality. The produce of the Morea is estimated at 36,000,000 kitogs., and that of the lonian Islands at 1(3,695,000 kilogs. Sales to the amount of 4,770,000 kilogs. have been effected at Patras. At first the price was 35 colonats (189 f.) per 1,000 Vene tian pounds (477 kilogs.), but it gradually declined to 20 colonats, and seemed likely to fall still lower. Most of 1, the currants are exported to England and Germany, the former country taking from 25,000 to 30,000, the latter from 5,000 to 6,000 tons. The crops this year having -far exceeded the usual consumption, much of the land will next year be devoted to other crops. CONSUMPTION, COMM, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE. —"I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas hill, Liverpool,) will prove of more value, in cases of bron chitis and incipient constemption, than any other remedy extant. It relieves the most irritating cough feta few minutes ; and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thomson' Materia Medico, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr. -Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of bore .hourid and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin ' an elegant and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with. Sir Alexan der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjunc tion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for Con sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. H. Brett, Ph. Dr., M.R.C.S., late Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurispru dence, Liverpool 'loyal Infirmary. The balsam of horehound and aniseed is pr 'pared only by T. Martin, chemist, 22, Cop peras-hill, Live po )1; but, owing to its great and increasing sale, agents ha. a been appointed in all principal towns and cities.

The race needs little further description, as, where the old Duke's Stand. stood, Weatherbound rushed to the front, followed by Mlle. Chantilly, the race soon being left with the two, the latter having the best of it in the last one hundred yards, and was only beaten on the poet by a head. Heiress was third, beaten five lengths ; Maggiore and Roesia were the next two, close together, followed by Thunderbolt, Chance Shot, Sir William, and Benbow, in the order named. Feodorowna Moorcock, Moorhen, and Australian Maid EFot badly off, and were never fairly in the race. The greatest win ners are Mr. William Day and lais party, the principal of which is Mr. F.

It may, however, be remarked that victory, in this instance has been attended with a slice of good luck. as had such a jockey as Fordbam been on the French mare, :Mlle. de Chantilly, she could not have lost.

Frentli philosophers trace the moral feelings of the mind to the state of the stomach ; and there is much wisdom in the assertions the stomach to the human body is more than the kitchen to domestic establishment, ever so little disordered the whole internal economy is deranged. The young may smile at the simile, and disbelieve the tremendous sacrifice indigestion extracts from his victim. The day will come when they will lament over their dyspepsia, as thousands stronger than them selves have done, when it will be well for their comfort and happiness if they only remember these prophetic words, and hold ix readiness Holloway's Pills a certain safeguard.
