THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The Exhibition was in a state of partial eclipse
yesterday, in consequence of the fog, and the
weather had of course its effect on the attendance.
But still there were a good many people present,
including the Duchess dowager of Sutherland, Mr.
Gladstone, the Earl of Clarendon, and a few more
persons of distinction. There was a rumour that a
week was to be given to the Lancashire operatives,
but we were not able to trace it to any authentic
source. An individual was detected in the Belgian
department helping himself to purses, lace, shawls,
and other light articles. He was, however,
promptly secured by the police, and removed in
ciatody.
The miscellaneous music of the Exhibition has
all departed ; sad perhaps the instrument most
"conspicuous for its absence" is Forster and
Andrews' fine organ, which so often arrested the
attention of entering visitors on their way to the
nave. After having done excellent sere* during

oommenoeinent, the iiistrument is nowng gra-
dually taken to pieces. It played the company
out on the closing day, and was the only instrument
that played every day without intarmission.
The number of visitors were about 7,000.

lated policy to one of common action with France
and Russia, and dues she now want to relax the
bonds which have for a long time past united
French and English policy on various points of the
globe 1 Such are the questions about which, ac-
cording to the France, "public opinion" is exceed-
ingly anxious. As to the opportunity of the
mediation, the France exclaims, in a paroxysm of
humanity, that such a proposal as that of the
Emperor's is always opportune ! Why, then, it
may be asked, was it not made long ago 7 The
France, in its pretended search forreaaons why Eng-
land is not swift to agree to a proposaldrawn up by
the French government in concert with Mr. Slidell,
is careful not to suggest that she may possibly
object on the ground that an armistice would be
palpably favourable to the South, whom it would
enable to re-victual and re-arm, that it would cer-
tainly not be accepted by the North without war,
that it would interfere with the entire abolition of
slavery, which mighty meahnre has a chance of
speedy accomplishment, that it is below the dignity
of great nations to interfere in momentous issues
with no better prospect than that of " doing no
harm," and the strongest reason of all—that Eng-
land can be no party to a compact based upon the
perpetuation of slavery, and that the South would
spurn our intervention upon any other footing.
The Presse, Temps, and Opinion► Nationale express
satisfaction at the refusal of England.
But/Ws Curvespondeace says this evening :

I have reams to know that Mr. Slidell, who mis recently
received by the Emperor in a private audience, brings from
Comptiqpie the most favourable impressions for the muse
which he supports with as much equity as perseverance.

The Manifest,- says that the Emperor originally
fixed the beginning of December for the opening
of the Boulevard Prince Eugene, and bas never
varied from that determination. That is a noto-
rious untruth, as all the court of Compiegne who
bad made their arrangements for coming to Paris
on November 15 must well know.
The Bourse has been inanimate to-day, and the
fluctuations unimportant. Rents rose sc. for cash,
and fell sc. for account, closing at 70fr. 65c. and
70fr. 75c. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c., and the Italian
Loan 15c. In railways there was very little change.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, THOISDAT.
The Inman steamer Kangaroo, from New York
on the lst instant, arrived here this morning. A
telegraphic synopsis of her yews, received Tilt
Queenstown, has been already published.

The New York Time 3 of the ht instant gives
the following resume of the state of affairs at that
date :

hatever may be the present position of the main body
of the rebel army under Lee, and the opinion at General
headquarters still is that it is in the vicinity of
Winchester, there is no doubt that our army is steadily
pushing forward into Virginia. Burnside was at Yuroelle-
vile yesterday. The forces under Generals French and
Sedgwkk left Harpm's Ferry yesterday morning, and crossed
the Shenandoah bridge. Sumner 's corps also moved
through the Blue Mountain and Short Hills, to form •
junction with Burnside. Nearly all the troops have moved
hom the London and Maryland Heights, though General
(Gary's command is for this present .to remain on Bolivar
Bights as a guard.
A reconnaissance from Harper's Ferry found the enemy in
Levy force at Charlestown, and another from Puroellsville
diseovered them near Paris and Upparville said to be under
Loogstreet, and Snickners Gap was defended by them.
_ _ • -

The corresndent of the Philadelphia Preia writes
from Harper'spo Ferry under date of Oct. 30 :

The army of the Potomen will in future consist of 3 grind
armies, 9 corps, 30 divisions, and 70 brigades. The first
grand army will consist of the corps d'armee of Major-Ge-
neral Reyoolda, Fits-John Porter, and W. B. Franklin, and
will be commanded by the senior Major-General Hooker.
The second army will consist of the corps d'armie of Major-
General Couch (late Sumner) A. G. Wilcock' (late Burn-
side), and Slocum (late Banks),
tu and will be commanded by
General Burnside. The • army will consist of the corps
d'aintho of Major-General Cox and two others now orga-
ailed, and to whom permanent commanders have not yet
been assigned by the IPreeident. This army will be com-
manded by senior Major-General Sumner. The rebel army
in Virginia is composed of 2 grand armies, under Lieute. -
General Jackson and Longetreet, consisting of 4 corps
d'armin of 12 brigades each, with artillery. The rebel ca-
valry arm forms a division under General Stuart, who
executes any order from Lee, and is under control of the
Commander-General, this cavalry being an independent
organisation.

THAIIF.B.

John Long, a well-knoWthief, was brought before Yr.
Woolrych, charged with stealing a silver watch from a sailor
named Charles Ingram, on Tower-hill.
Go the previous afternoon the prosecutor and a shipmate
named William Good were passing over Tower-hill, and
saw a large number of persons assembled around a man
who was exhibiting a monkey. The sailors crossed the road
to witness the antics of the monkey, and were very shortly
surrounded by the thieves who congregate on the hfll. Au
attempt was made to steal Goods watch. He kept hie
baud upon it and preserved it, and at the urns time
called to Ingram, Look out, Charley, for your
watch." The prisoner at that moment passed behind
Good, and drew Immures watch out of his pocket,
broke the swivel and detached it from the chain. The
fellow ran away with the watch and was instantly pur-
-1 sued by the two sailors and others. Being closely Premed
he threw the watch under a cart. A young man named
Henry Williams picked up the watch. It was full of
mad, and while Williams was looking about for the owner
be was collared by a bystander. who believed be was lusting

Thomas Red.,hate,JaateelTLiolt, sad Charlotte Felon.;
were placed at the bar before Mr. D'llyacourt,=Z
with murderously 'insulting William Beambh, a postman,
in the City-road, and stealing from him a portion of his
silver watch chain on the 29th of September last.
Mr. Edward Syson, surgeon, of 274, City-road, said—Oa
the 29th September the prosecutor was brought into my
surgery between ten and eleven at night. He was one mar
at blood and mud. His coat was covered and all his hair
was matted together with blood. He was bleeding from
several wounds. I sponged his Laos, and found several
wounds on the forehead. There were so many wounds on
the bead, forehead, and face that I did not count them ;
in fact, I could not, without his head had been shaved. I
only attended to those that were most dangerous, and I sent
him to the hospital. The injured man appeared to be sober,
but be was quite sensible. lam sure, from his appearance,
that he was sober. He said he had lost • piece othis watch-
, chain. . .

The priaoners Redebaw said they should reserve their de-
fence, and the prisoner Dixon said that he should like to
have the doctor from the ?hospital in attendance, and fur.
ther, his cross-examination taken down ; but as neither of
these was done he should most certainly reserve his defence.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE
MEDIATION DESPATCH.
The Journal des Debate of to-day observes that the
Freud) government has no reason to regret having
failed in a step which would have insensibly en-
tangled French 'diplomacy, so that "it would have
been difficult to keep the balance between the
11 North and South ; while the equilibrium, if it had
been broken, would not have been (at least we fear
so) in favour of the cause which is the most just,
popular, and French."
The Prase argues at considerable length against
the policy indicated by the despatch. It com-
a ments especially upon the fact that M. Drouyn de
Lhuye says not a word upon slavery. "Of what
use," it asks, "is all the blood which has been
spilt if slavery is to remain 1 As long as slavery
exists in the United States there will be no durable
or honourable peace."
The Temps can see no ground for mediation.
The proposition of an armistice, by the nature of
things, would be erusinently favourable to one of
the parties, and prejudicial to the other ; and has
little cbanoe, the afore, of being accepted.
The &Me regrets that England and France have
not assented to the propceal.
The Independence Beige observes :
Al theNcit thorn States are richer and more populous than
the States of the South, they are certain sooner or later to
come out victorious from the struggle. A suspension would
but be detrimental to them. The South, on the other
band, would find in it RD opportunity for recruiting its
forces, and as the two parties are farther than ever frost
an understanding upon what Is the real origin of the
diffiwenes, it would happen thet an armistice, instead of
shortening the duration of the senguinery confiicto would
bet contribute to prolong it. The Americans of the North
will not fail to see this primary truth, and if they do not
interpret the project of Prance as as act of hostility
towards them, it is at lent certain that they will pay no
respect to it.

TURIN, Nov. 9.
The Giornale Ufficiale gives a brief account of a
serious occurrence which has taken place in the Capi-
tenet& It is the more serious from its appearing
in an official statement. The follovriag are the
facts as I learnt them from a reliable source
band of fifty brigands, on horseback, was seen
issuing from a valley. A company of soldiers,
which happened to be but a few miles distant, di-
vided itself into two parties for the purpose of getting
at the baud from two directions. But whilst
one diviaion of the soldiers, expecting soon to come •
up with the brigands whom they saw on a hill,
marched towards them, the larger portion of the
band, which kept separate from the rest, attacked
and routed the other party. The brigands were
all mounted, and were clothed and armed in mili-
tary style. After this first success they advanced
to attack the remainder of the soldiers, who, seeing
the brigands were four times their number, took
post in a house : the soldiers were commanded by ,
a very dashing officer named Rossi The fate
of this party has not yet been ascertained, as
the brigands have cut the telegraphic wires. In the
meantime the affair, although known only as it is
narrated in an official journal, which is silent regard-
ing its termination, has given rise to many unplea-
sant observations, since it shows that the police of
the Southern provinces are not able to obtain in-
formation of the movements of the brigands, nor
of bow they obtain arms, or who act as
their guides ; yet somebody pays their ex-
penses, clothes, and arms them. The government
is blamed for not having sent to the Capitanata some
regiments of cavalry, which, in conjunction with
the Bersaglierit would soon free the country from
these wretches. The cavalry is left inactive in
garrison where it is not wanted, and is not to be
found where it is sorely required.

THE REPRESENTATION OF TOTEM.

Scarcely have the two political parties in this
long divided borough determined to reconcile their
differences, and to ratify their treaty of peace in
the unanimous selection of Councillors, Aldermen,
and Mayor, than they are threatened with •
political struggle of higher importance. It was commonly
rumoured at'Fotnes on Monday that the Earl of Gifford,
one of the members for the borough, who has for • long
time been hopelessly ill, was then actually dying, and •
telegram was looked for daily to announce his decease.
A. telegram announcing the melancholy news of Mr.
Mills's death was received, in the first place, by Mr. Rel.
lock, about 11 a.m. Later in the day Mr.,Windeatt os-
ceived • =wage announcing that • vacancy had taken
place in the representation. Mr. Wiodeattat once presumed
that this referred to the death of the Parlor Gifford. Subse-
quently Mr. Coming received • more explicit message.
The church bells were then tolled, and announced to the
town the loss which the borough bad sustained. At re
sent no candidate has announced himself on dither
side; but it is asserted by both parties that the seat will
be contested. The conservatives have, for some time,
been prepared with a candidate, Mr. C. G. Colleton-Rennie,
•m of Sir John Rennie, the eminent engineer, who has re-
cently taken up his abode at Bowden-house, Totnes. Mr.
Colleton-Renote, who was yesterday in London, was at once
communicated with, sod was expected to arrive by last
night's express. It is fully expected that hie address will
be Woad to-day. Mr. Oolkton-Rennie made his first ap-
pearance before the conservative electors of Totem about a
year ago, on which occasion he declared himself a warm ad-
mirer of Lord Derby. This gentleman is q alto young, being. we
believe, under five-and-twenty. The liberals on Tuesday
night were not prepared with a candidate for this seat,
although they bad for some time past been ready with a
substitute for the Earl of Gifford. The heeds of the
liberal party are not, however, likely to be in want of •
candidate, for they have received communications from
all parts of the kingdom. It was currently reported,
however, in the town that one of the legal agents
of the party had taken the train for Plymouth,
and it is therefore supposed that a candidate may
come from the west rather than from the east. From the
circumstance that Admiral Sir Bonitos Stewart, port ad-
miral at Plymouth, is connected with the Duke of Somerset,
it has been surmised that a member of this family may be
chosen. The latest accounts of the Earl of Gifford left no
hope of that nobleman's recovery, and his death is hourly
expected. The probability of this event does not, however,
seem to have induced the two political parties to carry out,
in the parliamentary contest, the peaceful arrangement
which they have recently adopted with respect to municipal
matters.— Western Morning News.

CHARGE OF SWINDLING AGAINST AN

INDIAN OFFICZR.

At the police-court at Birmingham, on Monday,
a young man named Francis Packs, who gave Windsor as
his place of residence, was brought up under the following
circumstances. A little more than a week since he arrived
in the town, and took up his abode at the Hen and
(Thickens hotel. Last Wednesday be called upon Meagre.
Boucher, tailors, and asked them to make bim • suit of
clothes by the following Saturds.7, as he wanted to go to
Bromsgrove. He wrote his name to the reference book of
' the firm as Captain Francis Packs, of the 31st Regiment of
the Bengal Native Infantry, stationed at 13oinbay. He
called at Messrs. Boucher's again on Friday evening, and
having ascertained that the clothes were finished, he went
away from the shop for a few minutes, and on his return
asked if a cheque could be cashed for him, sad on receiving
a reply in the affirmative. he produced a plain cheque for
101., drawn upon Messrs. Grindley and Co., of Parliament-
street, London ; the clothes came to 71. 10a. 6c1., • receipt
was given to Packs, and 2/. 10s. 6d. in change. At his re-
quest, a porter was sent with the clothes to the Hen and
Chickens, but the prisoner took the parcel from the man
on his way to the hotel. Inquiries having been made by
telegraph in reference to the cheqne, a reply was received
that it was a "dead swindle." The prisoner was appre-
hended at the New-street station, at the moment he was
about to get into the train for Worcester. The next morn-
ing, on being told of the charge against him, he said that
the cheque would be met at the end of the month.
Mr. Charles Hanley, a clerk in the service of Mesers.
Grindley and Co., East India commission agents, stated that
the firm had acted as agents for the prisoner, who was •
lieutenant in the Indian army ; that he had returned to
England on furlough, which had expired, and he was sup-
posed to be in India with his regiment. His account with
Messrs. Grindley had been closed long since ; they had no
assets, as the prisoner must have been aware, for although'
they still held his power of attorney, they could not receive
any of his pay, it being payable only in India. Several of
Packe's cheques had been presented dam August last, but
they had all been returned.
Mr. Frank Smith, of the Hen and Chickens, stated that
be had received a cheque for 10!. on Messrs. Grindley from
the prisoner iu payment of his hotel bill, and that since lie
was first before the bench a second cheque had been re-
turned to him dishonoured. He had reason to believe that
they would turn up in the course of the week, as Parke
had been giving cheques to gentlemen staying in the hotel
with whom he bad money transactions.
The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was committed
for trial at the seasiono.

The parties were married in December, 1848. Tin 1833
they lived on a small farm at Crowley. Worcestershire •, but
being in that year unfortunate in business, they removed to

sequent to this the conduct of her husband was so irregular

other things the respondent had wilfully upset her while
driving her in a dog-cart ; and she had been confined the

THE ArLAOHLAN CABS.

The committee appointed by the public meeting
of the citizens to watch over Wiese, met on Tuesday, and,
their attention having been Galled to a memorial now
in process of signature addressed to Lord Palmerston,
rasolved as follows:—" The committee have seen
the copy of a memorial ;addressed to Lord Palmerston
relative to the Sandyford murder case, and submitted
to the inhabitants for signature, requesting the publi.
cation of the evidence token at the private investiga-
tion by Mr. George Young. The parties promoting this
memorial cannot be snore anxious that publicity should
be given to all the facts elicited in that inquiry than
this committee have always been. They would willingly
have concurred in an application to the proper quarter to
give effect to the wishes of the public in general on this
question. Indeed, a communication from the committee
was some time ago addressed to Sir George Grey in favour
of this very object. But they regret that the memorial to
Lord Palmerton referred to is couched in such terms as,
in their opinion, must prevent them and all others who
signed the petition to the Home Secretary re-
questing an investigation into the circumstances of
the case from sinning it. They feel ,that every
one who signed that petition would be censiniog him-
self in adhibiting his name to this one, inas-
much as the present memorial offensively condemns the
conduct of those who asked for the inquiry, sod represents
them as bsviog been influenced by unreasoning clamour.'
Beatles. this committee cannot be parties to any attempt to
east reflections on the conduct of the Right Hon. Sir
George Grey, as they are satisfied he has been animated by
an anxious desire to promote the ends of justice ; and they
are also aware that be did not grant ' respite without any
inquiry into the facts,' saki assorted is this memorial. They
deeply deplore that any parties should be found promoting
a memorial expressed in such terms, stigmatising as it does
most unjustly a large and influential part of the commu-
nity, and being directly calculated to stir up class feelings,
which it is the duty of every loyal citizen to discountenance
and allay."—/forth BrigisA Mail.

GARIBALDI AT PISA.

The Movimento of Genoa gives a long acoonnt of
General Garibaldi's trip from La Spersis to Pisa,
from which we extract the following :
The general was transferred on board the Monealieri in
a bed of curios' mechanism scot to him from Germany ; he
himself commanded the manoauvres to be executed. A
tent formed of standards bad been prepared for him on
deck. He was loudly cheered by the population of La
llperia when the Moncelieri weighed anchor at ha-
pset 8 a.m. At first the general had intended
to go to Piss through Leghorn, but he changed
his mind, and canoed the lioncalieri to stop at
the month of the Arno, where he got himself let down into
a boat, and rowed up the Limo to Piss, when be arrived
in two hour, and was received with enthusiastic cheers
by the population that had 'rambled to await his arrival.
Eight strong young men carried the general in his bed to
the hotel of the Tre Donnell., where an apartment had
been prepared for him. He was accompanied by his phy-
sicians and his eon Menotti.
An immense crowd remained for several hours
before the hotel under his windows.

PRUSSIA.

Public opinion in Prussia, which had at first
viewed with comparative indifference the spectacle
of feudal agitation, has begun to bestir itself
since the reiterated replies of the King to the loyal
addresses have evinced the profound impression
which the latter have made on the mind of this
monarch. The Volkszeitung proposes a general
petition from the country, in order to enlighten
the King, and to bring home to him that
loyalty and devotedness to his person do not
ex dude fidelity to constitutional institutions and a
conscientious regard for the real wants of Prussia.
