THE I FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE 'RANGE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPOND2NT.) PARIS, TUESDAI The list of the Spanish Ministry given Yesterday was not exact, or it was stihseeluently modified. To-day the telegraph compares it as follows : General . Narvaez, President of the Council; M. Pida, Foreign Affairs ; M. Nocedal, Interior M. Seijas, Justice; M. Moyano, Public Works; Gen. Lersundi, Marine ; Gen. tJrbstiincto, War : and M. Bazanallana, Finance: There is also to be a Minister of Marine. The French Government, I am told, does not look on the change with a very favourable eye. The Madrid letters reneiVed to day (they were, of course, written belbre the `change of Ministry), give a.tl adeennt of a disgraceful affair, in which I•Tarvaei figured. On making h call at the house of General Alsesan, he met M quel y Itente, who it noted for having run with and Married one of the Queen's With this gentleman he is on terms of bitter hostility, in consequence of their having had a violent altercation, and even, it is said, exchanged blows in the Cortes, previous to the exile of Narvaez. The General accordingly, although ladies were present, eyed his adversary in a Most insolent manner t M ( away cotains gruel took oirenCe,high words ensued —according to some accounts, Narvaez struck him with his cane=and at last Narvaez left the house. A duel was, of course, resolved on, but the Govern- Ment, and even the Queen, made Narvaez pledge his honour not to fight. No such pledge could, however, be obtained from M Gruel y Rente, and he was arrested. Fudge of the commotion this scandalous affair has created at Madrid I it is said, to-day, in well informed circles, that Most likely the Week will not pass over withmit the Moniteur speaking on the Neapolitan question. It will, it is alleged, announce the presentation of a note declaring to the King of Naples that if he not make concessions, the English and French embassies will be re-called, and their squadrons will be sent to Naples. The Emperor to-day passed a review at Saint Maur, near Vincennes. The troops under arms consisted of two divisions of the army of Paris. His Majesty's departure, and that of the Empress, for Compeigne is fixed foi. Sunday. On the following day, sixth distinguished personages, who have been inVited to attend the Imperial hunts, are to be taken down by special train, and, on the following day, another batch is to go. Austrian and Prussian Ministers are in the first batch; Lord Cowley, our ambassador, is comprised hi the second. Some papers say thht Count de Morny is ill, and about to return home. This is not true—he is well, and will remain in Russia to the end of February. am informed that the nirthan Ambassadors have demanded an audience of the Emperor, and that it will be granted. The Impress has, I hear, taken the patronage of a charitable association, for providing cheap lodg ings for workmen. There has been another fall on the Bourse to day. The money market continues to be oppressed by the mass of floating securities, and it is, besides, painfully affected by the reports which are current ; to the effect that financial measures of great gravity are contemplated by the GovernMent The Bank of France s it appears, does not in reality lend 20 per cent on railway shares, and 40 on eente, as it announced that it would do, but is by no means ready in making advances at all, and when it does, gives less than those amounts. Nevertheless, it appears that silver coin has become more abundant. The Moniteur gives reports recording three engagements with Kabyle tribes, in each of which the French were successful. Vienna letters, from a good source, assert that the dissensions between the Austrian and French Ambassadors at Constantinople, relative to the Danubian Principalities and the navigation of the Danube, that those gentlemen have almost ceased to communicate with each other. Genoa letters mention that a small Sardinian squadron, consisting of three frigates carrying 126 guns, and a transport, were about to leave to join Admiral Dundas at Ajaccio. --w-- AUSTRIA VIENNA, Oct. 11.—Up to yesterday afternoon no despatch had been received from General von Martini, and his prolonged silence is considered a bad sign, as hi would certainly have written without delay had the King of Naples displayed any inclination to follow the counsel given by Austria. The advices from Naples which are contained in the Austrian papers are favourable enough, but they cannot find a place here, as they do not tally with the private information which have been given me. The King has now acquired the certain know ledge that Russia, Austria, and Prussia are opposed to any extreme measures on the part of the Wes tern Powers, and it may, therefore, reasonably be supposed that he will not be more inclined to make concessions now than he was a month ago. It is still very generally believed that a more liberal Cabinet will be formed ; but a person who returned from Naples a few days since assures me that no person who is not an " Absolutist " of the purest water can hope to find favour in the eyes of the King. An impression appears to prevail in influential Austrian circles that the Western Powers would be satisfied if such a man as Prince Satriano were placed at the head of affairs ; but it appears to me that a change in the Neapolitan Cabinet would be no satisfactory guarantee that the King had resolved to change his system. Those continental organs of the press which are of the service of Russia affirm that the Western Powers have entirely given up the idea of sending their ships to the Bay of Naples, but the sequel will probably show that they are mistaken. As has before been said, the expedition to the Bay of Naples has, at the urgent request of Austria, been delayed, but the idea has certainly not been re linquished. Fuad Pasha's despatch of the 7th of August, in which he claims for Turkey the islands in the Lower Danube, is here considered a very ingenious piece of political writing, but it is not believed that the Porte will be able to carry its point, as the islands formed by the different arms of the Danube were ceded to Russia by the Porte in 1829. When the St. Petersburg Government agreed to the rectification of the Bessarabian fron tier, it consented to cede a certain portion of its territory to Moldavia, and not to the Porte, as is seen by the following sentence which forms the first paragraph of article 21 of the treaty of March 30 :—" The territory ceded by Russia shall be annexed to the Principality of Moldavia, under the suzerainete of the Sublime Porte." The islands of the Danube form a part of the territory ceded, and, therefore, Fuad Effendi demands for the Porte that to which he has no legitimate claim. The question respecting the Delta of the Danube will naturally be settled by the diplo matists, but it appears to me that the Turks have as little chance of retaining possession of it as the Russians have of settling the frontier question without the cession of Bolgrad. To morrow, October 12, the armistice between the Turks and Montenegrins is at an end, and it is morally certain that the latter will not remain quiet until the Paris Conference has settled what is gene rail called the Montenegrin Question. The Aus• trians flatter themselves that they exercise sufficient influence over Prince Daniel to keep him from at tacking his Turkish neighbours, but the fact is that in Montenegro the Czar's will is law. When Prince Daniel was here about two years and a half ago he plainly showed that he was unable to comprehend the meaning of the expression raison d'etat. After a man of high rank had spent half an hour in ex plaining to him that, for " state reasons," this Government did not approve of the policy of Russia towards Turkey, the Prince, still believing that Austria was in secret playing into the hands of the Czar, announced his intention to render Russia every assistance in his power. It is not known to me how the communication was received, but certain it is that from that time forward no Court equipage was at the disposal of the Monte negrin Prince. Recently, however, Prince Daniel has made his peace with Austria, and she has pro bably promised again to render him (underhand) assistance, if the Turks should attempt to force their way into Montenegro. There has been a slight mis understanding between Austria and France on the subject of the exclusive privilege which was granted by the ex-Hospodar of Moldavia to M Magnan—a French subject —to navigate the Pruth. Baron Prokesch, the Austrian intern u cio called the I attention of the Porte to th e fact that n the' concession NORTHERN TIMES.- was not in keeping with one of the stipulations of the Treaty of March 30, and consequently Ali Pasha declared it to be null and void. NOtice was given to the Kaimaltan of Moldavia of what had occurred ; and that functionary, to the great annoy:: anct of Thouvenel, published the ordinance which had been issued by the Grand Viiier. In several of the foreign papers it haS been Stated that the Austrian forCe in the Legation has been oi-ea - di, reinforced, but the expletive ought to have been omitted. There is one division under Gen. Count Degenfeld in the Papal territories, and an infantry regiment was not long since sent across the frontier to make it compldte. The reinforce ment about three ittotiths since .Sent to the army in the hornbardo;Venetian Kingdom consisted of two infantry regithebtg, one rlf Which marched from the Tyrol, and the other from Lower Styria and Carinthia. It is credibly related that the future Viceroy of the Lombardo.Venetian Kingdom is the Archduke Charles Loins the Emperor's second brother, who is now Stadtholder of the Tyrol. The Austrian force on the Loilibtird PrOntier of the Duchy ot Para has recently bdeti reinforced. Oh the 6rd Count Cordnini, the commander of the Austrian Corps in the Danubian Principalities, was at Belgrade, btit it is not known w 1 at brought liirsi so far up the river. The Pesti: Lloyd gives tin account of the recent movements of the French steamer Lyonnais. For some time past it has been the question of sending by the Lyonnais a certain number of guns from the fortress of Belgrade to Constantinople, but the parties could not agre e about the price to be paid for the job. At last the captain of the Lyonnfli6 loSt pitien&ucind left tell grade, but on his arrival at Pancsova lie fotind a telegraphic message from Strasburg containing an order to convey the Turkish guns to Constanti nople free of expense. In obedience to the instruc tions received, the captain of the Lyonnaise returned to Belgrade, and when lie was last heard of—on the 4th inst.—he was taking in the Turkish guns at the " water-gate "of Belgrade. It may be remarked that the Austrian Danubian Steam Company watches every movement of the Lyonnais. At his own request, Baron von Walter, who for a short time was Austrian Minister at Athens, has been recalled. His successor is Baron Brenner, the Secretary of the Austrian Legation at Frank fort. The official Gazzetta di Milano announces that their Majesties will reach Milan in the first week in January. EtTSSIA Mostew, Sept. 28.—0 n Thursday night the Melancholy intelligence of Lord Hardinge's decease was communicated by electric telegraph to Lord Granville. Colonel Hardinge started for St. Petersburg on Friday morning by the 11 o'clock train, and proceeded direct to London. Lord and Lady Stafford left by the same train, and will sail in the Duke of Sutherland's steam yacht from St. Petersburg to Dunrobin Castle, which they will reach probably ere this letter arrives in London. The Marquis - is accompanied by his pier— the eame who caused such " an ekcitement " at Lady Grtinville's ball—and it is to be hoped that his strains will not produce such an agitat ing effect upon the waves as they did upon the Russian ladies ; rather let us Wish for the fair Lady Stafford's sa k e , th at the; renew the halcyon days once more, if such a heavenly season was ever kown to the Baltic and his rude brother of the German Ocean, and that Eolus will not be irritated by his humble imitator, who carries his wind in a bag also, to freaks of overwhelming competition. Lord Granville and Colonel Maude came to the station to see the late members of his Embassy off on their journey. Lord Wodehouse, our resident Minister Plenipotentiary, also went by this train to return no more to the fetes at Moscow. If the English ball was the larger and more profuse, so to speak, in all the elements of such an entertainment, there can be no question that there has as yet been ne such " elegant " ball during the fetes as that given by Prince Paul Esterhazy last night. The invitations were not too numerous, and I doubt if more than 450 persons were present, but they certainly included every one in Moscow who is distinguished by rank, or who is known in the political world. The Prince is, as English readers need not be told, one of the most popular of statesmen, and even through the stormy and cloudy atmosphere of Austrian politics, his honour has ever shone brightly, and his personal character. untarnished by any suspicion, has always been regarded with respect by the bitterest enemies of the country, he so nobly and faithfully serves. here in this Court, which of all others has most reason to complain of Austria, he has by unfailing gentleness and firmness, and by the bearing and conduct of a " gentleman " in the best sense of the word, achieved results which the most subtle diplomatists might have essayed to accomplish in vain. Austria did well in sending such a representative, the type of the chivalrous, polished, kindly, and accomplished " Seignior,"—grand, if you like, but still a gallant cavalier, who is passing away from among us, and leaves no one to take his place. The chilling cold of th first receptions at Peterhof have melted away before the irresistible sincerity and honesty of Prince Esterhazy, and now there is sunshine and fine weather in the halls of the Imperial Palace when His Highness presents himself before the Czar. It would be unjust not to add that the tact, prudence, good sense, and straightforwardness of Lord Granville have been rewarded with a similar success, if not so great in degree, at least as difficult of attainment, and that the English Ambassador will depart with matters put on a much better footing than they were when he came and during the earlier part of his stay in Russia. The Austrian Embassy is situate wi h one side abutting on the street in which are the two houses of the English embassy, and the ball room was, as with us, a temporary building of wood and canvass. It was decorated with great taste, and was beautifully lighted. Whether it appertrined to the garden in which the room was built I cannot say, but there was a fountain at one end of the salle, in which water plants were floating, and the plash of the water was deliciously refreshing in the crowded and heated atmosphere of the assembly. There was an air of comfort and luxury about the room, which put one in mind of a drawing room in some fine old English mansion, turned, for a time to the uses of dancing. Out side the house was covered with variegated lamps, and large artificial trees laden with glowing fruit, of the same sort, were planted at the door and in a line along the pave. The approaches were kept by Cos acks and gendarmerie, and a great number of persons assembled to see 'the company arrive, and were as quiet as a Russian crowd always is till the appearauce of the Czar excited them to utter a shrill cry, repeated again and again. It is seldom that it falls to one's lot to behold a more brilliant and stately spectacle than this ball room presented on the entrance of the Emperor. When the shouting of the populace was audible, Prince Esterhazy, attended by the members of his mission, proceeded to the porch, and stood ready to welcome the Czar within his threshold. He was dressed with all that wonderful and yet tasteful magnificence which has made his name famous —the dark sable trimmed pelisse, with streams and lakes of diamonds and pearls studding every fold and filtering through every crevice, the colour of which, whether puce, black, or deep blue, I cannot determine ; the tunic covered from throat to waist with orders in diamonds, crosses and badges of knighthood, ribands, and stars, and precious stones ; the purple or maroon•coloured boots crusted with pearls and diamonds, and the sword with its hilt a very mirror of light. And yet, with all this glitter and blaze, there is a sombreness in this bravery of apparel which enhances its richness, and the greatest attraction after all is the fine ' old gentleman who wears it. The personal friend of our own (g reat Duke, the intimate of the great statesmen of Europe, and the councillor of emperors, the Prince Paul Esterhazy would be an historical character if he wore the clothes of Mr. Cobbett or of Lord Panmure, or indulged in the ostentatious simplicity of clothing which delights the Society of Friends. The Cz a r was dressed in the uniform of the Hussars of the Guard. The Empress was attired, as she always is (and, indeed, why should she not be), with much splendour, but she was almost eclipsed by the Grand Duchess Constantine, who would be considered beautiful among the beautiful, and whose parures arc wonderfully tine. As the Emperor and Empress entered, they shook hands with the Prince, who led them, followed by the miler members of the imperial family, through a line of Chasseurs and Austrian japers into the ball room, the orchestra the while playing the Russian National Anthem. The whole of the company were drawn up across the room to receive their Majesties, and the effect of the uniforms of every European state and of many Asiatic kingdoms and prin cipalities, mingled with court and diplomatic dresses, and the gay or rich robes of the grand dames and demoiselles, was very striking, although one cannot say, after so many balls and fetes, that it was very novel. Then commenced the polonaise, in which Lord and Lady Granville, M. de Morny, the Prince, the . Grand Dukes, the Emperor and Empress took part, and imme diately after that state procession the actual severity of dancing began, and was continued without mercy for some time uninterruptedly. All the great officers of State were present, and many other officers and statesmen, with their wives and daughter, of whom it is but just to say, that either our standard of beauty is becoming lower and less difficult, or that they are becoming prettier and more charming on each successive occasion. Of the distinguished strangers within the gates of Moscow there was no lack. The Persians, who for some reason or another, did not honour Lady Granville's ball, as far as I could see, were here with th e i r l o f ty con i ca l bl a ck sheepskin caps men of Gondol, Mingrelia, Georgia, Circassia, Tartary, and Thibet walked about amid the crowd of European statesmen with an air of ease and indifterence which was highly amusing.

It is said that our missionaries in Arabia have been met with the taunt by the natives whom they attempted to convert—" Have we not been at Jerusalem and seen your Christians together ?" The tompaey generally was very distinguished. The Emperor and the Empress retired after supper, but many of the guests returned to the ball-room, and it was not very early this morning when the last carriage rattled along the Precbistenka from the Prince's door. The hunt on Friday was, I am told, very successful. It was the last of these entertainments. Some of the English- -- -Lord Lincoln and Lord Ward—have had some cock shooting in the neighbourhood of the city, and a little later the shooting will be very good all around us.

GREAT CROSBY GOOSE FEAST ath tto duly f mer Hee This ancient and h onoure d f eas t— so o ld th a t h ar dly any history of its o r i g in remains—was held yesterday at Great Crosby. As usual, the annual banquet was given ats Mr. Belshaw's Ship Inn, and from the well-known character of that house---not only throughout the locality, but even in Liverpool—little more need be said than to state that the entertainment Was " first rate." The taste and judgment always shown by Mr. Belshaw are duly appreciated, and we cati say that the eicellence of the entertainments of the last few years was fully maintained yesterday, if, indeed, the latter did not exceed the former. It was quite a gala day at Great Crosby ; and it was cheering to see so many happy faces around the annual festive board. The company was, as usual; highly respectable,, and comprised gentlemen of the locality; and also from Liverpool. The dinner was not only excellent in quality and quantity, but was served up in the worthy host's best style. The wines were of the best quality, and consisted of champagne, old port, prime sherry, &c. The chair was ably filled by the respected proprietor of the " Alton Brewery," who discharged his duties to the esbroGioasob e Goose loyal Feast."ie f eh ,et toasts tahol together of all present.

(Cheers.) There would have been many more present but for unavoidable circumstances, and it would be a source of regret to many when he had told them the splendid dinner they had lost. (Cheers and laughter.) A gentleman remarked, parenthetically, that the absentees had a great loss, and he said the only way the absent gen tlemen could make up for the loss Would be to drive out to Mr. Belahaw's this day, and have one of the finest lunches on record. (Laughter and cheers.) The Chairman continued to pass a well-merited compli- ment on the host and Mrs. Belshaw, and said as long as tiley - lived to rule the roast at the Great Crosby goose feast, so long would the old renown of the fimst itself, and the good cheer of the Ship Inn prevail.

It would always afford him great satisfaction to meet his friends, and if he had done them justice he considered it his best reward. Having thanked the company on his own and Mrs. Belshaw's behalf, he sat down amid loud applause. Several other toasts were given and responded to, and the evening was spent in a happy and pleasant manner, the company separating with a hearty bumper " to or.r next merry meeting." LIVERPOOL ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCH,EOLOGICAL SOCIETY. The members of this society held their second meeting of the present sessions last evening, at the Royal Institution, Co'cilitt street—Mr. S. Hugging, the president of the society, took the chair. The following gentlemen were elected members of the society :—Mr. James Jump, Bootle ; Edward Thornley, Blackburn terrace J. H. Mellor, Walton road ; Joseph Sawyer, Waterloo ; and Charles Z. Herrman, Bedford street North The Secretary announced the receipt of several donations, amongst which were the lAnd and Building Society, the Irish Reporter, the Building Chronicle, Transactions of the Liverpool Ohs. mists' Association, and the Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire. Mr. Joseph Boult then brought forward the motion of which he had previously given notice, to the effect " That this society memoralise the Liverpool Town Council to amend the Building Act." In doing so, he said that all practical members of the society were so alive to the sub ject, and were so unanimous in their opinion as to the necessity of amending that act, that he would not detain them with any observations, but would read the draft of a memorial he proposed should be forwarded to the Town Council. Mr. James M. Hay seconded the motion. Mr. Picton thought the subject had been brought before the society so unexpectedly, that he did not think it could be gone into. He thought they should not rush into such an important subject, until they knew what the New Building Act was, and therefore would suggest that the subject should be postponed until after Mr. Boult had read the paper he had promised on the Building Act, which would be at the next meeting. Mr. Weightman, the Secretary, concurred in Mr. Picton's suggestion. After a few observa tions from Mr. Boult, in reply, he stated that in the paper he was about to read, he would go into the whole motion in detail. Mr. Verelst moved, as an amendment. that the presentation of the memorial be postponed until the next meeting. Mr. Frodsham seconded the amendment, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Picton then exhibited some photographic drawings, for a new suborder in capitals, of colours. These ornaments consisted of devices from our native flowers. I'h e idea was his own, and had been c irried out by his son. The specimens were very beautiful, and much admired. Mr. Verelst thought they were rather too much of a vegetarian character, beautiful as they were, and were not equally applicable. Mr. Picton partially concurred in the observations that had been made by the practical men present. The paper of the evening was on Farm Buildings, by Mr. G. Verelst. This paper had been read before our agricultural society, and was in some degree altered to be applicable to the present society. The paper was listened to with great interest, being illustrated by several plans, explanatoey of what he conceived should be the plan of the fam building and its appurtenances. An interesting conversation followed the reading of the paper, after which the meeting separated. To Mrs. A' I3eckett, widow of the late gifted magistrate, has been considerately granted by the Premier a pension of £lOO per annum. Lard Palmerston's liberality has been further shown in the gift of £lOO towards the maintenance of Mr. Angus B. Reach. The London Committee for affording relief to the sufferers from the cholera in Madeira have sustained a severe loss, by th e d eath of Dr. 13.15 q, at Madeira. Dr. Ross had been in E ng l and only a short t i me w h en th e i nte lli gence that the i s l an d had b een i nva d e d by cholera reach e d hi m . In two d a y s afterwards he was i n th e s t eam ,p ac k e t on hi s way back, and he landed at Madeira on the 30th August. His humane l a b ours a t once commenced. On the very fi r st day, amidst the welcome acclamations of high and low, and before even see i ng his own family, he prescribed for upwards of seventy cholera patients. Each succeeding day gave ample scope for the exercising of his untiri n g exertions and usefulness. He had just completed a cholera h osp i tal, his own e y e ; b at his benevo l en t m i n d h a d a l rea dy drawn too heavily where the patients could.be treated u nder upon his physical powers, and within a week he had succumbed to that malady which he had so nobly volunteered to combat. The annual meeting of the Liverpool branch of this society was held at half-past six Ockick, last night, in the Philharmonic Hall. The attendance Was numerous. The chair was taken by Mr. E. Heath; and among the other gentlemen on the platform were—Rev. D. T. Barry, Ref. Mr. Lundie, Rev. Mr. Kelly, Rev. C. Law renee, fled'. Dr. Hamlin, Rev. Mr. liirkus, Rev. Dr. Blackwood (late chaplain to the forces at Scu aril, Rev. Mr. Dawson, Mr. R. A. Made, Mr. Sands, Mr. W. Crosfield, Mr. R. L. Jones, Mr. Laing, Mr. A. King, Mr. R Smith, Mr. A. Steains, &c. After prayer had been offered tip by the Rev. Mr. Kelly, The Chair man proceeded to open the business of the Meeting. He said that the society for which they were met together td proffer their stipport, was the Turkish Mission Aid Bociety. They were met, nOt for the purpose of instituting a new mission, but rather, as the programme which he held in his hand specified, for the purpose of availing themselves of existing missions fn the East for promoting and forwarding Christianity in that region, and especially among the Mahomedans. The leadinc , feature of the society was its Catholicity. It donciptehended and embraced most of the Christian churches of this Protestant land, and in stating that he would take the opportunity 6'f referring to the great error that prevailed among some other Churches of Christianity with regard to the stipposed divisions nod dissentions among Christian tbdrches. Nova, however varied they might be in external forint, the evangelical churches of Christendom were conspicuous for the unity of their practice, and for the union of the spirit in which they conducted add for Warded their religious views. Meat', hear.) That fact Was ethillited in the support which the Turkish Mission Aid Society feepired ; for, While its president in London was the Earl of Sottaftesbury, end its viee-presidents, Lord Robert Grosvedot, Sir Edward North Buxton, and Sir Culling Ridley, here, in LiVerpOol, they %mild have represented that night the Chtirch of England, the Presbyterian church, th Baptists, the Independents, and he kt friends and s owners attidrig niany other denominational churches in Liverpool. (Hear, hear) there %vat another very peculiar and interesting feature in tl e working of the society, and that was that they atailed themselves of the services of the different missions that now existed in the East, and particularly so in the case of the Missionaries ment from the Ametiean churches, and who had beers in that field of labdur (hiring the last five and thirty years. He would, with their permisdion, read a sheet paragraph from the programme to vrhitili lie haid alluded in expla nation of that point :—" Of missions in operation, those established by the American Board of Commissioners fur Foreign Missions appear entitled to the largest share of support, being extended over a much wider field, and having been successfully prosecuted where no other Protestant Missions exist. British missionaries have hithertO been directed only to the Jews hi Egypt and PaleStifie and, with the exception of the important Anglican Mission of the eXcellent Bishop Gobat, of the Church Mi•sionary, the Free Of Scotland, and the London Societies' faithful labourers for the salivation of the House of Israel—the American Missionaries are the only Evangelists of European Turkey and Asia Minor, Mesopotamia and Syria, Armenia, Kurdistan, even to Ooroomlah in Northern Persia." While he claimed thus for the society the fact of its Catholicity here at home, and of its being supported by most of the evangelical churches, he would also direct their attention to .what was the characteristic of the evangelical missions over all parts of the world, and that Was, the absolute fraternity and co-operation, and mutual sympathy, on the part of all missions, from that it also I whatever church they entatited. (Hear, hear.) ft Was impassible to read the reports of the Church Missionary Society, the London Society, and the flible Society, which they knew was also perfectly Catholic with regard to its stipporters, xtithout being struck with this fact, that whatever differerice in their extern-II forms of worship the Protestant churches mlglit present at home, yet to the eye of the heathen and MahOmedan, 'they presented one uniform spirit, and one uniform front In their spiritual Christianity. (Hear, hear.) In addition to the fact that the funds of this society were, to a large extent, appreprirted to the support and to the promotion of the American missions. which originated in Boston, acid were supported by at least five different denomina tions of churches, there was also this great fact, that these Missions came ftom a land which was their sister land, and from a people wild, in fact, had sprung from themselves. (Hear, bear.) It was beautifully said, upon another platform, a few evenings ago, by that great statesman who considered it as one of the honours of his private life, to be able to sup. port the claims of missionary societies, be alluded to Mr. William E wart Gladstone, their townsman—(applause) —it was said by him, that it appeared to be the design bf Providence in its wisdom, that the Anglo Saxon race, including the American Anglo-Saxon race, which was sprung from alert], *as destined to civilise and evangelise distant heathen lands. This very mission which they were now met to support, was a beautiful illustration of that; for here they found England and America going hand in hand—England contributing her money, and America sending out her missionaries to Convert the heathen and Mahomedan. (Hear, hear.) The very name of the Turkish Mission Aid Society was highly suggestive. lie did not know of any other missionary work that was so suggestive, for, independent of the recent events which had so directed their atten— tion to the East, they should remember that it was from Asia that Europe received the Gospel. and that it had therefore peculiar claims on Europe, to undertake the restoration to it of true Christianity. (Hear, hear ) They knew that this was not the first time that European Christianity had endeavoured to gain an ascendancy over the Mahomedan religion, and to put it down. Seven hundred years ago Western Europe raised itself against Mahomedanism, but did not succeed. And why did it not succeed ? Because they went with martial weapons—with the pomp and power of the sword, and therefore utterly failed, and left behind them only a greater odium and a greater prejudice against the Christian name. It was well for them now to consider why it was that Christianity should have been so many centuries in the presence of Mahomedanism, and have effected so little towards its destruction. The reason might be considered as twofo!d. In the first place, Mahomedanism contained a great truth. The Khoran contained the great truth upon which all true religion was based—it declared God was one God. That was a truth, and in respect of it l%lahomedanism presented itself in a favourabie light to the grosser religions with which it was surrounded. They found it was always the tendency for the grosser religion to fall before the purer religion, and, therefore, it was that Mahomedauism had so successfully extended itself into the territories of the Budhist and Brahmin. It seemed astonishing then that Christianity should not have made more victories over Islamism ; but the sad truth was this, that for 700 years Islamism had known no Christianity only in its forms of the corrupt Christian churches. (Hear, hear.) When they considered that with the Jews and Mahomedans the oneness of God was a living doctrine—that both were spiritual wor shippers—they could conceive what a shock it must have been to their feelings to find Christianity presented in a form which appeared to them to be idolatrous. He did not wish to charge any church or society of men, who called themselves Christians, with being idolators. They knew that the Greek End Roman Churches repudiated the accusation with the greatest indignation ; but still they knew that the Mahomedan did not regard th metaphysical distinctions which members of these churches drew in their own minds, between the intercessions which they paid to the Saints and those which they offered to the real God, but that he looked upon such practices as idola trous. The Chairman, in conclusion, pointed out how Protestant Christianity presented itself to the Turkish mind, and how beneficially it operated in elevating the degraded and fallen women of that land. The Rev. Mr. Barry, and the Rev. Mr. Hamlin, American missionary, then addressed the meeting, the latter gentleman declaring that unless England enforced it, the late f irman, granting civil liberty to the Christians in Turkey, would be utterly inoperative. The Rev. Mr. Blackwood, in the course of his address, referred to the scenes which, as chaplain b the army of the East, he had witnessed in the hospital at Scutari. He buried, he said, fifty men a day in the graves at Scutari, and that was the average number for many successive weeks, though sometimes it amounted to as many as sixty and seventy-five. He had frequently walked through the hos pitals late in the afternoon, and had seen men brought in in scores ; and next morning when he went hack, he would find that half of those whom he had visited the night before were dead, and buried in their graves. Oa one occasion, when the number of chaplains was greatly reduced, it was necessary for one of them, in addition to his day labours. to sit up at the hospital every third night ; and going the round of the hoepitals on these occasions he used to meet that person—(Hiss Nightingale)—whose name was held in honourable memory in England. (Applause.) He found that service, though but every third night, a great pull on them in alla a the fearful month state round of his physical and mental powers; but every night she was there. (Applaus•.) How she manag ed to stand it he could not tell, and could attri bute her p res ervation to nothing but the abundant grace of God ; for , assuredly, no human means that they c ould hav e taken , could have p things. He had fou nd one night in them a very se r i ous thing to undertake and undergo, but yet she was th ere on every yctd night supported in tseven,hem in such t h and fo (Applause) And, as for the no bl e men who lay in those . hospitals, he could truthfully say th a t h e h ad never heard one murmur, one groan, or one regret in alltheir suffering s, from a single lip of th ese dying' noble (Ap plause.) They laid down their creatures. lives on their hospital beds with the same magnanimity and calmness that they exposed themselves to the bullets enemies. (Applause.) and ln bayonets_ of their c oun ea tr k y e ' r s conclusion, the rev. t„ speaker called on the meeting, in honour supports of these men, the Turkish Mission Aid Society, to the zeal of whose Missionarie she bore the most generous testimony. A col lection was made, and after some other addresses the ' meeting separated.

He (Mr. Holmes) wished to state that there was no truth whatever that state ment. tic wis not induced by any officer, nor any' one else, to make the complaint which he had Made against Mr. Goodere, He came unadvised by ring person, and he thought it , only right and just to the police to come forward and state that they were entirely free from the imputation sought to be cast on them by Mr. Goodere. Mr. Heywood asked Mr. Goodere what he had to say to that ? Mr. Goodere said be had nothing to say, but he would not withdraw what he had already stated. Mr. Wybergh : You have made a serious charge, against the police, and you ought either to substantiate it, or withdraw the charge. Mr. Goodere: You allowed me the privilege of going before the watch canmitted, and I intend to do so. The matter then dropped, A HARD CASE.—Catherine Brown, a poor needle , woman, was charged by Peter Williams, an outfitter, in Park-lane, with having pledged some shirts which he gave her to make. The ease would not have been worth recording in print btrt for the following facts :—The poor prisoner said she was obliged to pledge the articles out of sheer want. Ail she got was 4s a dozen for making the shirts, and she had to pay the complainant 5s Gd a week rent for a house which she held from him, and this had to come out of her week's earnings, which left her in the most fearful state of poverty, 'Flee complainant handed a book of the transactions between him and the prisoner, when Mr. Heywood said he had nothing to do with that. The complainant then asked, was it to go forth to the public that a person could pledge goods without any redress being given to the owner ? when Mr. Wybergh said nothing of the sort would go forth from that court; bat probably it would go forth to the public that Mr. Williams was a very hard task master. The prisoner was remanded. as an attorney EMILE ma. MANSFIELD STREET FIGIITING.—Two powerful looking men, named William Drown and John Gillespie, were charged with creating a riot by fighting in North-street. It appeared that the prisoners were drunk, and that they began. beating and kicking every one who passed, and like another (a royal ruffian) fellow, who, when lie had nd more people to kill, turned round and killed himself, tli6 prisoners commenced "slashing" each other like inad,; and when the police interfered, they got a "licking" too. The prisoners were fined .53 each. " Putts Purr I"—A very large young man, dressed as a. brewer's drayman, whose name was given as Sumner, was charged with having assaulted brideweli keeper Deering . , of Vauxhall-road station. It app 'tired that there was a comrade of the prisoner locked up at the station for having committed some offence, and the prisoner, whilst in a state of intoxication, Went to enquire after him. At the station he behaved most disorderly, and when ordered to go away, he threw himself on his back, and commenced kicking the officer. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said it "imaginable." He was fined 5s was all the purest fun WOMEN STABBED BY ANOTRER.—A tall, grid rather well dressed woman, named Mary Coghran, was charged with having stabbed, in a severe manner, two sisters named Mary Keely and Margaret M`Gough. The facts of the case were these : —The prisoner and some other person had a dispute in Primrose-hill about their children, and a fight followed. One of the complainants was passing, not knowinganything of the affair, when the prisoner rushed at and stabbed her with a black-handled knife in the forehead. The s;ster of the complainant was convenient, and, seeing what had taken place, she ran to the assistance of her sister, when the prisoner also struck her with the knife in the forehead. Mr. Brown, surgeon of the Northern Dispensary, who dressed the wounds, said the injuries were serious, but he did not apprehend fatal results from them. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. THE ALLEGED HOMICIDE ON BOARD THE CHAMPION OF THE SEAS. In our impression of Tuesday there appeared an account of a fatal affray which took place on board the Champion of the Seas. Yesterday the person charged, whose name is Thomas Anderson, was brought befcre Mr. Mansfield, in custody of detective officer Kennedy, who said the prisoner W2s riven in October, e te b e deceasedr he en was a h se called deck o u f p t l t i o e s v e e e s d s e e l : charge by Captain M'Kirdy, of the Champion of the Seo, for . having caused the death of a passenger on board. Captain; ill'Kirdy said there was a fight took place between the prisoner hut was called up, and found the deceased dying or dead at the deceased, and did foundn see em its time. The surgeon of the ship said, about midday on the a l n st d the deck in a reclining position. He felt for pulse, but could not find any. Ho opened a vein, but only about a teaspoon full of blood came. The man was dead. He subsequently made a post mortent examination of the body, and inside the head he found au injury, extending behind the left ear to three inches. There was blood, corresponding with injury, effused on the brain, and also into the substance of the brain. All the other organs of the body, with the exception of the kidneys, were in a healthy state. Daath, no doubt what ever, was caused by the injury described, and that injury was the result of a- blow or a fall. Mr. Mansfield : Then the man died from external violence, as marked by the internal injuries? Witness : Yes. The internal injury was caused by the external violence. Mr. Mansfield : Yes, that's what I mean, as the marks corresponded. Surgeon : They did exactly. John Armstrong, one of the passengers by the ship, said both the prisoner and deceased were passengers - also. I was present at the time the transaction took place, which resulted in the death of the deceased. One of the passengers and deceased had a dispute about the pAyment of a bottle of ale, and deceased called tho prisoner, and left the matter in dispute to him. He decided against the deceased, who then became angry and violent, and called the prisoner bad names. They had some words, when deceased began to kick at the prisoner. They wrestled a round or two, and the prisoner struck with his fists, but the deceased continued to kick, and said if ho could not strike he could kick. The s h e o c e r n e d f u e mate d ? a ca n t d n e up, and continued told t the deceased to kick i e kt the eptison e r t go a . o Ti 7 e a, y y ti b t c u n t tite grappled deek , each e other ' what had happened.
