THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1864.

BISHOP lays to the charge of sensational &dims is
that they throw a remote interest round crisainal
passions. That they have a tendency to do;this is
certainly true, but fortunately there are other cir-
cumstances which neutralise much of the harm
which might naturally be expected to follow.
Ordinarily speaking great crimes are not the offspring
of great passions. For one murder which is com-
mitted from love, or jealousy, or even deli-
berate revenge, how many are there which can
b. 3 traced to no more romantic motive than petty
avarice, or drunken rage ! There is no trace
of the influences the ARCH BISHOP depre-
cates in the history of FRANZ Mutxra.
The motives which made him a murderer were of
the lowest and most paltry kind, they had no intel-
lectual character, they would have been equally
powerful with an idiot. We shall be mistaking our
real enemies if we accept a diseased imagination as
the ordinary source of crime. The utter want of
imagination is a far more real danger, and the
reading of exciting novels, though it may do them
harm enough in other ways, will not make them
more susceptible to the temptations which spring
from this source. It is the materialist aide of
crime which usually presents itself to the poor.

14..1 at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, for the
purpose of investigating the circumstances attending some
isiregularities which have recently occurred in that esta-
blishment. It appears that for a an. time past • degree
of diasatisfaction has been manifested by the gentlemen
cii•lets with regard to the provisions supplied at the meas.
The meat, it is mated, has been of an inferior quality,
and the beer exceedingly unpalatable. One of the
young men had the hardihood to make an official complaint
on that score, in which be we. backed by a Large number of
his comrades. The complainant was thereupon put under
four days arrest for his temerity, as the charge wee con.
tittered to be without cause. At night a couple of cadets
were found to be absent from their quarters, and dummies
were discovered supplying their places in bad. The
absentees, when called upon to account for their breach of
the regulations, pleaded that they were in the bath-rooms.
This was considered to be improbable, and not fully sub.
stantiated on the part of both. From a conference held
On the following morning by the lieutenant-governor
(Major-General Sandham) with his }loyal Highness the
Governor at the Horse Guards, it was resolved that one of
the accused named should be requested to withdraw from
the establishment. lin the succeeding day the order was
read at a full parade for that purpose, when a general
murmur of disapprolaition and hisses ensued, which were
with difficulty quelled. In the evening shortly before 10
o'clock one of the howitzers in the grounds was fired with a
charge of powder, and on the sergeant on duty rushing
out to the spot they discovered the expelled cadet appa-
rently endeavouring to avoid their presence. He was
immediately pounced upon by the sergeants, seven in
number, when a scuttle ensued, and three of the sergeanta
were precipitated into the ditch forming the outskirts of the
grounds fronting the establishment, awl one was, it is
stated, somewhat injured. The cadet, whose name from
motives of deference is at present withheld, managed to
effect his escape. Having been called upon by the corn.
rnittee to attend an examination in their presence, he west
down to the AT...lony yesterday, and underwent a rigid
questioning, which it appears terminated materially in his
favour, insomuch that from what transpired at the COP.
cludon of the meeting it was nudenwood that the sentence
onlering his withdrawal, equivalent to a dismissal, will be
suhatituterl be a rustfeAtioto of, probably, a single term
from the Academy, after which he will be readmitted.

IMPRESS FROM PARIS.

LETTER FROM IL JULES FAVRE.
(nom OR OWN oonsaromme.)

PARIS, THMISDAT Evimmo.

Two or three days since the Prance reproduced
from a recent pamphlet by the Italian deputy
Boggio, a report of an alleged conversation between
himself and M. Jules Favre, which, had it been
true, would have been most damaging to the cha-
racter of the latter. It was represented that M.
Jules Favre had admitted that his speeches in the
Corps Legislatif, advocating the evacuation of
Rome by the French troops, were made only in the
hopes of doing harm to the Emperor, and that if
he (M. Jules Favre) were minister he would never
let the King of Italy have Rome. I abstained
from noticing this extraordinary statement at the
time because, from my knowledge of M. Jules
Favre's character, I felt certain it must be a
groundless libel. M. Jules Fevre, who has only
just returned to Paris after the long vacation to be
present at the opening of the law courts this day,
now writes the following letter to the France :
On nay rettun from a journey my attention is called to
your paper of October 30, in which • pretended conversa-
tion is cited between me and M. Boggio, and which waveraation, you say, k extracted from • pamphlet entitled "Is
Florence Rome!" I know nothing of this pamphlet. Bat
I cannot believe that M. Boggio, who presented himself to
me as an advocate of the Turin bar, and a deputy of the
Italian parliament, can have so far forgotten the most
ordinary rules of delicacy as to have published without
my consent any report whatever of a conversation
which was necessarily confidential, much lees to have dis-
torted it by inventing • ridiculous fable, which is precisely
the contrary of all that I have ever said or ever thought on
the subject. But your article, written in an unmistakeable
spirit, is there ; and my duty is to give the most complete
contradiction to every one of its assertions. I have the
better right to do this because only the other day 31. Iloggio
having done me the honour to write to me I, in my answer,
said that I most strongly advised the Italian opposition to
accept the convention of Sept. 15; and that I
desired with ell my heart and soul to see
the day when Rome, freed from all foreign in-
fluence, might complete that Italian unity which is and
ever has been my sins. These sentiments, which I have
constantly expressed both in private and in public, suffice to
show the falsehood of the story to which you have given
currency. I beg you to correct the error in your next
number, and remain, Ste., Jcus FLVILE.

The France, in inserting the above letter, throws
the responsibility of the misrepresentation upon
Deputy Boggio, from whose pamphlet it copied
literally the narrative which M. Jules Fevre de-
clares to be false from beginning to end.
M. Corte, the deputy of the Corps Legislatif,
who was sent on a special mission (financial and
administrative) to Mexico, has come back to Paris.
His report to the Emperor would be an interesting
document. I do not bear of any successor, probably
because of the fiction that the Emperor Maximilian
is now solidly established on his throne, and
is able of himself to keep his budget in
good order. It is to be hoped that the great
majority of his loving subjects will not
like those which General Castagny had to deal with
the other .lay, require the stimulus of six mouths'
threatened imprisonment to induce them to accept
public office.
M. Corte brings back with him as a souvenir of
Mexico the Cross and the Order of Our Lady of
Guadeloupe, conferred upon him by the Emperor
Maximilian.

Since writing the above I observe a statement in
the htdetpcndanre Bar that " the Emperor Maxi-
milian has recently written to the Emperor Na-
poleon, stating that owing to the embarrassed state
of the Mexican finances the cabinet required the
assistance of an able financier. The French go-
vernment has consequently recommended M. Gi-
zetti, inspector-general of the Moseageries-Im-
p6riales, who was chef du cabinet to M. Duces
when Minister of Marine." So that M. Corta, who
probably is tired of his mission, has a successor.
The Patric says that the Cochin China question
will be discussed in the presence of the Emperor
at a ministerial council to be held at St. Cloud
the day after to-morrow.

A project for the extension of the savings banks
is under consideration, the basis of which is that
every post-office should be authorised to receive
deposits, so that facilities for using these institu-
tions may be brought home to every poor man's
door. The necessity of taking a long journey to
some central town operates practically as a great
bar to the investing in savings' banks.
The Bourse, after opening weak, became much
better at 2 o'clock, when it became known that the
Bank of France had reduced the rate of discount
from 8 per cent. to 7 per vent. ➢foney became im-
mediately easier, and there was a brisk demand for
most descriptions of securities. The Rents rose
10c. for cash, and 450 c. fur account, closing at
641 r. 70c. and t4fr. 95c. Mobilier rose 25fr.

singular kind of lottery which is annually drawn in that
capital, and gives a copy of the printed notice which bu
been posted up on the subject:—" In the convent of Sao
Lorenzo, in this capitol, there is drawn every year. on the
eve of the Octave of the Ascension, a lottery of masses,
which are said on the following day for the souls of those
who hare gained prizes. The number of them is in propor-
tion to the sum received, and a certain part of the masses
are also applied to the souls of those who, having taken part
in the lottery, have not gained prizes. Notice of the whole
is afterwards given to the public, that is to say, the list of
the persona who have gained, and the number of masses ap-
plied to each of them. Those who wish to put any soul in
the lottery may apply at the said convent. The entrance is
half a real for each soul. The money Is received by the
porter."

the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, danisg. 'I 1,2-O.Y.
Execution was stayed to give the defeatiets fem., to wove.

That had been done, and he accordingly mored foi

being Christmas time the train consisted of a greater non..
her of carriages than usual, and on its drawing up t, ti,..
Newton station it overshot the station,
the passengers who were in that part of the.

plaintiff in stepping out of the carriage strode ►cross a
handle and received the injuries complained of. The
tiff appeared to have suffered great pain, but l. is
men gave it as their opinion that he would entirely r,.
in the course of eight or twelve months, and as the pi ..iit •
could not show that his earnings had ever exceid,d ,
per annum, the sum of 1,250 f. was much too large.
