THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1860.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

The last mail from Bombay brought intelligence from
China, via Calcutta, of a protest made by the French
against the excess of the English forces, and requesting
that such excess—estimated at 2,ooo—should be with-
drawn. It was further announced that Lord Elgin had
induced the French Ambassador to withdraw such pro-
test on the 26th June. Now, on this day Lord Elgin
and Baron Gros were on their passage from Hong
Kong to Shanghai, the former having left Hong Kon
on the 23rd June, in the steamer Feroze, and the latter
on the 24th, in the steamer Saigon. The French papers
have denied the correctness of the statement.

It is now officially announced that the Prince of Wales
2 will visit Bermuda before returning to England. The
3
Bermuda Royal Gazette publishes a letter to this effect,
1 addressed by the Duke of Newcastle to Governor Murray.
2
3 The House of Assembly has voted the sum of £2,000
for providing suitably for his Royal Highness's recep-
tion. We should also be glad to hear that the Prince
3 had accepted the invitation to New Orleans. The
Americans in the south are as loyal as their brethren in
21 the north.

• This appears to be a fatal year for Alpine travellers.
Another accident, attended with loss of life, has just
occurred in the mountains which separate Savoy from
Italy. A young engineer, named Touini, went to
measure the territorial line between the communes of
Giaglione and Exilles. Accompanied by three guides,
he ascended a very high mountain, covered with snow
and ice. His task accomplished, he had reached on his
return a spot called the Pas de l'Agneau, when,
contrary to the advice of the guides, he determined to
descend alone over the glacier. Ten minutes elapsed,
and the guides, not seeing anything of him, feared
an accident, and went in search of him. Cautiously
following his track, they came to a circular opening in
the snow, about two feet in circumference, through
which the unfortunate man had fallen into a crevice
twenty yards deep. He was still alive, and called to
the guides to get ropes and draw him out. Before the
ropes could be procured three hours had elapsed, and in
the meantime he had died of cold and of the injuries he
had received. The guides heard his groans, but could
afford no relief. The following day his dead body was
found in the torrent which falls from the glacier, and
was interred at Susa.

A short time since the subscribers to the Colchester
National Schools resolved that no children should be
admitted to the benefits of those schools unless they
produced a certificate of baptism, as a proof of hav-
ing been admitted into the Church. The object of
this movement, which originated with certain Pusey-
ite clergymen of the town, was to exclude the chil-
dren of Dissenters from the benefits of secular educa-
tion; but this masterpiece of intolerance has over-
reached itself. The matter having been brought under
the notice of the Committee of Council upon Education,
their lordships, after a correspondence with the school
authorities, have intimated that if the resolution is per-
sisted in, the Government grant of between £.500 and
£6OO towards the erection of new schools will be with-
irawn, and it would not be matter of surprise to find
hat the educational grant, amounting to about £2OO
annually, was withheld on the same ground. It yet
•emains to be seen what course the committee of the
,chool will pursue.

The accounts which reach us of the harvest, from
lifferent parts of the country, are, in the main, excel-
ent. In almost every instance the yield turns out to
le better than could ever have been anticipated. There
yin, at all events, be a fair average crop.
Mr. Divett, the Liberal member for Exeter, having
sgnified his intention of shortly retiring from the repre-
en4tion of that city, two candidates for the seat have
dread)? appeared—namely, Mr. Alfred Seymour, brother
Mr. D. Seymour, M.P. for Poole, and Major Porter,
I.E. The former comes forward on Radical principles,
aid the latter is a Conservative and a staunch supporter
d Lord Derby.
The Earl of Derby left Knowsley Park on Monday
aternoon for Doncaster, to pus the race week. The
