PRUSSIA AND ENGLAND.
The Times and Daily News call attention to
the insolence of Prussian officials and denial of
justice towards a British subject. The English
residents at Bonn, who had put forth a protest
against the slur cast upon Englishmen, have been
charged with libel, and have undergone interro-
gatories, and been compelled to submit to judicial
processes altogether repugnant to British ideas
on the liberty of the subject. The Times and
Daily News conclude by some remarks in dispa-
ragement of alliance with Prussia, who is hoping
that we shall be simple enough to back her up
with money and men in a policy and system of
government which England abhors.

- FRANCE AND THE POPE.
The Independance states that on the sth of
October the Duke de Grammont was instructed
to offer to the Pontifical Court the guarantee of
France for the •Pope's patrimonial domain, and
two days were allowed for consideration. On
the 7th Cardinal Antonelli asked for an asstuance
that this was the Emperor's ultimatum, and
received a reply in the affirmative. The result
was the withdrawal by the Papal Council of the
Nuncio from Paris.

It is stated in the continental journals that
General de Govon, in presenting the officers of
the French division recently arrived at Rome.
was about to offer a compliment to the Pope,
when the latter cut him short and ordered the
presentation to be proceeded with forthwith.

Lord Palmerston proceeded to "Windsor yesterday, on
a visit to lier Majesty.

The Herald says the joint stock banks anti the private
banks now experience partial difficulty in employing

The Post's Paris correspondent telegraphs the rumours,
that enormous convoys of material and munitions-of war

Lyons, is not true. '
The first accounts of the scrutiny on the annexation
question in the kingdom of" Naples reached Paris last
night. The Post's correspondent says they announce

The 'Daily yews says it is reported that Mr. Frederick
Peel will be the new Secretary of the Treasu in the
room of Mr. S. Laing. The acceptance of this office
does not render re-election necessary.
The Grand Duke Michael, and the Grand Duchess
Olga, of Russia, are at Windsor Castle, with their

The directors of the Great Ship CoMpany have
effected an insurance of £lOO,OOO upon the vessel at the
rate of ss. per cent. for the six Months during which
she will be at Milford Haven. This will only cover the
preference capital.
The Times has a leader on the ruffianism displayed
at Richmond, Virginia, towards the Prince of Wales,
and does not doubt that these outrages will call forth
corresponding demonstrations of good feeling in more
important cities, and among a more, enlightened class
of the American community.

THE EMBEZZLEMENT BY AN

INSURANCE AGENT•

TO THE EDITOR OF THE 14ILY TIMES.
beg to correct a slight but important omission
in your report of the charge of embezzlement against
David Evans, late one of the agents of the Prudential
Assurance Association in this town. We have some
fifteen or sixteen agents here, and therefore your repre-
senting Evans as " the " Liverpool agent is incorrect.
Your kindly inserting this will greatly oblige.—Sir,
your obedient servant,

with a class whom apparel would keep from church.
