doubtless his means are very well adapted to his end.
We should add, however, that in the light of a
treatise on public speaking Mr. Leifchild's volume
is far more valuable. Some of his precepts deserve
universal attention ; and he has evidently studied the
art of oratory to considerable purpose.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF AN
ARCHBISHOP 1N NAPLES.
A despatch from Naples, dated January 26th, was
received in Paris yesterday.
A Neapolitan priest at Matera, in the province of
Lecce, had made an attempt to assassinate his
archbishop.
The prelate was wounded, and one of the canons
was killed whilst interposing to defend him.

From Paris we learn that the Court of Cassation
pronounced judgment yesterday upon the appeal
from the decision of the Imperial Court of Lyons,
with reference to the illegality of distributing elec-
toral bulletins, or voting tickets, without a special
permission from the authorities.
The judgment of the Court of Cassation is against
the liberty of distributing the electoral bulletins.

SATURDAY,

CORN EXCHANGE—onIy moderate supplies of English
wheat have been reeelved tip to our market this week, coastwise
and by land carriage. For all kinds the demand has ruled
heavy, and prices have given will 2s to 4s per quarter, yet the
market on Friday closed firmly. The imports of foreign wheat
have fallen otf; nevertheless, that grain bus changed hauds
slowly, at fully 2s per quarter less money. Floating cargoes
have zoinutanded very little attention. We have to report a dull
inquiry for barley, the value of which has fallen 2s per quarter.
Malt, too, has gone rather easier. The oat trade has been in a
sluggish state, and the quotations have hail a downward ten-
dewy. Both beaus and peas have ruled heavy, at Is per quarter
less money. Tows-Mac flour has been una►tered; but country
marks and American qualities have given way 2s per 2eolba and
barrel respectively. The imports from New York continue ou •
liberal scale.

EXECUTION OF VERGES.

The appeal of Verges having been rejected by the
Court of Cessation, his execution took place at seven
o'clock yesterday morning, on the Place de la Ro-
queue. Verges did not maintain, in his last mo-
ments, the haughty and insolent demeanour which
he had previously exhibited. He crossed the thresh-
old of the prison supported on one side by the Abbe
Hugon, and on the other by the executioner. On
reaching the platform Verges fell upon his knees ;
he then threw himself into the arms of the Abbe
Hugon, and submitted himself to the executioner.

Despatches from Admiral Seymour up to the 15th
December have been published. The latest despatch
of that date contains a hurried account of the burn-
ing by the Chinese of the factories. Sir Michael
Seymour remarks, in conclusion :
The conflagration will circumscribe our defences, and
render necessary a new arrangement of them ; but it is
my intention to hold the British factory, as I have hitherto
done the larger area on which the houses have been de-
stroyed.

The magistrates specially appointed to conduct
the inquiry into the loss of the steamship Tyne
(Captain Breton and Mr. Joseph Lobb) have finally
agreed upon their report, which is as follows :

After a most careful and anxious investigation we cannot
arrive at any other opinion than that the ship was lost by
the wrongful act and default of Captain Valler, in conse-
quence of the lead not being constantly hove on approach-
ing the land, and in accordance with the company's in-
structions, and the captain not making due allowance for
the wind and strong ebb tide that was running from the
time he passed Portland, and the total absence of those
precautions necessary to insure the safety of a large ship
within so short a distance of the land.

The Queen will hold a Privy Council on Monday
next, at Windsor Castle.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon,
at the official residence of the First Lord of the
Treasury, in Downing-street. Present—Viscount
Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville,
Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of Harrowby, Sir George
Grey, Earl of Clarendon, Lord Panmure, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, Sir Charles Wood, the Eight
Hon. B. Vernon Smith, Lord Stanley of Alderley,
the Right Hon. M. T. Baines, and the Duke of
Argyll.

The Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Emma
Stanley return to town to-day for the season. The
noble earl gives a parliamentary dinner on Monday
evening to a party of his political friends in the
House of Lords.

The Earl Granville, Lord President of the Privy
Council, gave last evening a dinner to the Cabinet
Ministers and the great Officers of State of the
Queen's Household, at his lordship's residence in
Bruton-street. The roll of sheriffs for the present
year was settled at the meeting.

The appointment of an additional Inspector of
Prisons, to have special charge of the reformatory
schools certified or sanctioned by the Secretary of
State, having been determined on, Sir George Grey
has selected the Rev. Sydney Turner, of Red-bill,
for the office.

FRANCE.

The Persian Ambassador was received by the
Emperor Napoleon at a special public audience on
Saturday last. The Empress of the French was
also present. His Excellency the Persian Ambas-
sador addressed the following speech to the Em-
peror :

Sire,—The friendly relations which so long existed be-
tween France and Persia having been again consolidated
by a recent circumstance, I have been charged by the very
powerful Shah-iu-Shah of Iran, my august Sovereign and
benefactor. to bear to your Imperial Majesty the compli-
ments and congratulations of my Sovereign.
It is a happiness for me that my mission has occurred
at a period when France is bowled with so many blessings
from Heaven—first, the glorious accession of your Imperial
futnilj to the throne of France ; next, sire, the birth of his
Imperial Highness, the heir of your crown—an event
which is a guarantee for the duration of your Majesty's
dynasty, and a subject of joy for all Frenchmen and for all
the friends of France ; next, the conclusion of peace be-
tween the powerful allies and Russia in this same capital
of France. In fine, Sire, I come to France after the con-
clusion of a treaty between Persia and the powerful empire
of France—a fact which had ever been the object of the
hopes and wishes of the two States, an object to which the
efforts of the Governors and the Sovereigns of the two
States tendcd, and which is now accomplished, with the as-
sistance of God, conformably to the intimate desire of the
august Sovereigns of Franca and Iran.
To the speech of the Ambassador the Emperor male
the following reply :
Monsieur l'Ambassailenr,—l am happy that your Sove-
reign has charged you to bring me his congratulations.
When the war broke out in the East I sought with pleasure
to renew our former relations with Persia, and her neu•
trality was not useless to us. I now congratulate myself
upon the treaty of commerce concluded between our two
countries, as commercial relations firmly established always
cement the friendship of nations.
It is with regret that I heard of the war which has
broken out between you and one of my closest allies, but
I entertain the most ardent wishes that your mission to
this portion of the globe may hasten the return of a lasting
peace.
I thank you for the flattering things you have said to
me of France and the Prince Imperial, and I beg you to
believe in my full sentiments of goodwill towards you.

Ferouk Khan, after having presented to their Ma-
jesties the persons attached to his suite, handed to
the Emperor in the name aid on the part of his
sovereign the Royal Order of Persia, and presents
for the Empre.s and the Imperisl Prince. His
Excellency the Persian Ambassador and his attend-
ants were conveyed to the Palace of the Tuileries in
Court carriages, and reconveyed

to the hotel of the Persian Ei
ceremony.

times worse, he presents such an extraordi-
nary instance of self-stultification that we
naturally call attention to the fact as to any
other wonderful exhibition of human weak-
ness. Was not the very Association which
Mr. ROEBUCK represents formed for the express
purpose of putting the middle class in the
place of the aristocracy ? And yet, by Mr.
Roast:cies own admission, that middle class
goes "down on its belly" before the most
ignorant lordling. Was it not their constant
theme that Englishmen would go anywhere
and do anything—that English pluck and
enterprise could carry everything before it, if
relieved from the incubus of aristocratic
domination? And yet it appears that every
class, down to the very lowest of all, is servile
and corrupt. Where, then, is this Englishman
of the Reformers ? Must he not be, if we
believe Mr. ROEBUCK, a mere ideal ? and must
not Englishmen, as the masters of the
world, be au empty species, without individuals
to fill it ?

We may indeed have other and more theo-
retical objections against the whole tone and
tendency of Mr. ROEBUCK'S politics. But
what we wish to point out on the present
occasion is, the utter want of the most ordi-
nary logical power which his speeches evince.
If neither the aristocracy nor the middle class
is fit to govern, why we must have the
Chartists ; and what then becomes of all the
cosy Liberals who now gather round Mr.
ROEBUCK? The people will never put down
the gentleman to make the mill-owner king.
Aud this must be quite apparent to the worthy
Chairman, if not to all the dupes who support
him. If he believes in what he said the other
day at Sheffield, his proper place would be
alongside Mr ERNEST JONES ; if he does
not, in a much more disagreeable locality.
Mr. ROEBUCK will, in all probability, con-
tinue to be a prominent personage in politics.
He is applauded by the lower classes because
he is fluent, and tolerated by the upper be-
cause he is feeble. The latter know that he is
their best friend, the former do not know that
he is their worst enemy. He must settle the
account with himself. Patriot or demagogue,
we do not decide which. But we cannot have
much admiration for the leadership of one
who continually makes his cause ridiculous by
representing its progress as impossible.

THE REV. W. H. !ULLMAN, librarian of Zion
College, and son of the I of St. Paul's, will be
Archdeacon Male's successAr at Cripplegate.

A TREMENDOUS FIRE broke out on Tuesday evening,
in Watling-street, on the premises of Messrs. Rolls
and Soul, wholesale perfumers. The fire brigade
were rapidly on the spot, but the inefficacy of water to
put out such a fire was soon apparent. It could only,
and barely that, prevent the extension of the confla-
gration, which at times threatened the whole of the
surrounding buildings :

By conveying the hose through the various buildings in
Vi'atling-street, the firemen were enabled to pour immense
torrents of water into the right directions, which had the
effect of cutting off the further progress of the flames in the
directions of Bow-lane and Cheapside ; but, notwith-
standing, the work of devastation continued, and it was
nearly midnight before the fire was extinguished, and not
until the premises of Messrs. Matthews, Rolls. and Soul
were destroyed, and the whole of the c ,ntents consumed.

A great number of the contiguous houses were se-
verely damaged by fire and water.
THE REGISTRAR•GENERAL'S RETURNS for the week
amount to 1,216 deaths, a considerable increase on
the average of previous years, vet below the rate in
proportion to the increase ot• population. 1,781) births
were registered for the same period.

NEUFCHATEL.

A letter from Berne, in the Nuremberg Correspon-
dent, says :
A telegraphic despatch has been received by the Federal
Council from our Ambassador Extraordinary in Paris, which
announces that the Conference relative to the Neufchatel
question will he held in Paris. At first a German town
had been proposed, but was opposed by Switzerland, who
asked that if possible Paris should be selected, and after it
London. It thus is evident that the wishes of Switzerland
on the point have been realiesd.

The King of Naples has concluded a convention
with the Argentine Republic for the reception of his
political prisoners, who may consent to be exiled
thither. The offer hag been made to Poerio, but he
has declined to go.

Lqters from l'olam! affirm that General Gorts-
chakoff will in a short time relinquish the govern•
ment of that country. It is said that his views, as
far as regards the Administration, are far from agree-
ing with those of the Emperor Alenander, which
are known to be favourable to extensive liberal im-
provements.

Lord Palmerston yesterday received the deputa-
tion from the Mercantile Law Conference, headed by
Lord Brougham, who explained the objects of the
late con fereneo. Lord Palmerston promised that
the attention of her Majesty's Government should be
specially directed towards the question of Mercantile
Law Reform.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY :31, 1t457.

POLITICAL prophecy is never more at fault than
when it attempts to raise the veil from the
future of Parliamentary proceedings. In so
large and so mixed an assembly as the House
of Commons, with its members agitated by
every diversity of sentiment and swayed by
every variety of interest, it is impossible on
the eve of a session to pregeribe with any cer-
tainty the subjects that will obtain predomi-
nance, and, still less, to foretel the resolutions
that may be taken. It is a common observation
of experienced politicians, that those sessions
have been the most stormy which seemed
likely to pass off with most quietude. The
freedom of our public life, the ardour of our
convictions, and the courage and ambition of
our public men, forbid any long period of stag-
nation, or even of calm, in our Parliamentary
annals. But without pretending to predict
what will occur during the coming session, we
may so far indulge in speculation as to note
some principles which, apart from particular
questions, must, we think, be fully discussed,
and rally to one side or the other the strength
of the two great parties which divide the
Legislature.
The financial question is one not admitting,
of delay. The Budget of the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, with the decision taken on it, will
go far to decide the principles on which the
taxation of the country is hereafter to rest.
There will be no pretence for presenting to
Parliament a temporary or exceptional scheme
of finance ; there is nothing in the circum-
stances of the country to justify a materially
different scale of expenditure, or a materially
different manner of raising revenue from what
it will be wise to adopt in future. The finan-
cial scheme to be decided on this year must
be regarded as the basis of schemes to be
adopted in future
As this subject is discussed in our other
columns, we will only say here, that our own
conviction is clear that the settlement of 1E433
should be observed. That settlement was of
the nature of a compromise. It imposed a
direct tax of two millions yearly on real pro-
perty, the condition being that the Property
and Income Tax should expire in 1 GO. Those
who now advocate a continuance of that tax
with a differential rate adverse to property,
would make the Legislature break faith with
the country. If the settlement of 1~?•i3 is now
departed from, the Income Tax will almost cer-
tainly be perpetuated. The only chance of
extinguishing it, is by insisting that the Act of
11.03 shall be truly observed.
Closely connected with the financial pies-
tion, and, indeed, antecedent to it, is the
question of our military and naval establish-
ments. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, ill
reply to a deputation on the 23rd inst., stated
truly, that the amount of taxation must be
determined by the amount required •for the
estimates. We have not to cut our coat ac-
cording to our cloth, but we have to cut our
cloth according to our coat. Whatever size
we determine our coat to be, we must in one
way or other find cloth to make it. 11 we

Cardinal 111,)rlot beet' appinted Archbishop
of Paris.

The appeal of Vergi•s for a new trial was heard at
the Court of Cassation on Thursday, and rejected.
The prisoner therefore remains for execution. The
Pope, it is said, has written to the Emperor, en-
treating the prisoner's pardon on the ground of
taanity.
Rear-Admiral Eigault de Genouilly has left Paris
for Brest, to take command of the naval division to
be sent at once to the Chinese waters.
Ferouk Khan, the Persian Ambassador, it is
believed in Paris, will be in London about the middle
of next month, he having an extraordinary mission
to the Court of St. James as well as to that of the
Tuileries.

The Princess Lieven, so long known in the political
salons of Europe, died on Monday night from bron-
chitis. The Princess was in her seventy-fifth year.
A deficit in the year's budget is anticipated.

tion of the Swiss prisoners, and congratulates the
Helvetic Confederation upon► its resolution.

AUSTRIA.

GENERAL AMNESTY IN THE ITALIAN DOMINIONS.

The Emperor, on the 25th, signed at Milan an
amnesty decreed for the Lombardo. enetian king-
do:n. _ . _

All persons under sentence for political offences
are restored to liberty, the proceedings against them
ara abandoned, and the Special Judicial Court of
Mantua is dissolved. This act of the Emperor has
produced an immense effect. Milan was sponta-
neously illuminated, and the Emperor has been
received with warm enthusiasm. The Imperial stay
in Lombardy has, in consequence, been prolonged
till the sth of February.
A further decree of the Emperor annuls Lombardy
trees in arrear to the extent of two millions of
f. ancs.

AUSTRALIA.

Intelligence to the 31st of October announces an
increase in the yield of gold.
Sheep, and consequently the expert of wool, were
on the decline.
A terrible event occurred at Melbourne in her
Majesty's 40th Regiment. Ensign Pennefather, in a
fit of insanity, had shot three of the officers of his
regiment, and then blew out his own brains. Dr.
M'Cauley was dead ; Ensigns Lucas and Keith,
though severely wounded, were both expected to
recover.

PRUSSIA AND SWITZERLAND.

Foreign letters and journals agree in affirming that
Vie precise object of 1)r. Kern's mission to Paris is to
eitablish an accord on the conditicns of arrangement
to be come to between the King of Prussia and Swit-
zerland, so that the bases of the arrangement being
agreed on beforehand, no delays or difficulties need
be apprehended when once the Conference meets.
The Federal Council of Switzerland has published
a proclamation to the army, in which it announces
that the affair of Neufchatel is in a fair way of
arrangement, and they may he sure that that
arrangement " will not offend the dignity of Swit-
zerland." It compliments the troops in warm terms
on the patriotism they had displayed in responding
to its appeal to take anus, and announces their dis-
charge.

NAPLES.

Political arrests in Sicily are on the increase.

Commerce is entirely at:a stand ; the theatres are
abandoned ; the clubs are closed ; the streets are
silent and deserted by all but the police and the
military.
In Naples, letters to the 21st of January state that
the theatres are closed : most of the cafes and hotels,
more than half or the printing-offices, and the greater
part of the libraries are also closed.
Since the explosion of the powder magazine and
the arrest of Milano, more than 500 persons have
been arrested, and of these certainly not more than
100 have been released.

An amnesty was expected on the accouchement of
the Queen.

GREECE.

The German papers confirm the news that the
great powers have decided on the evacuation of
Greece, and add that the notification of the English
Cabinet on the subject has arrived at Vienna. They
state further that the Ist of March is fixed for the
departure of the troops.
London, England, 1857-01-31

MR. ROEBUCK.

Sin JAMES GRAHAM'S defence of a bishop has
usually been considered a masterpiece of
maladroit. advocacy. But we think Mr. ROE.
arcit's tactics in his great cause of the middle
class versus the aristocracy, are now entitled
to rank with the happiest efforts of the Right
Hon. Baronet. As Cnairman of the Adminis-
trative Ref :yin Association, Mr. ROEBUCK
comes forward as the especial denouncer of
the aristocracy, and by implication as the
especial patron of the middle classes Give
us practical men is his cry ; men who know
something about mills, and bills, and tills ;
men who, in his language, have " made them-
selves :" let them supersede the petty little
birds or corrupt tyrants, as the case may be,
who now oppress the country, and we shall
soon see the dawn of a better era. " A man as
is a good judge of a horse," said old Mr. Wel-
ler decisively, "is a good judge of anything ;"
and even that expert logician, his son, was
unable to controvert the argument. By a
similar process of reasoning, Mr. ROEBUCK
arrives at the conclusion that a man who is a
good judge of cotton is necessarily the best
judge of all high questions of political philo-
sophy.
So far, so good. Every man has a right to
his own opinion. He may be as blind as he
likes, or as deaf as he likes. And it is open to
any man to adopt the theory that English
traders are Nature's aristocracy, without
incurring the charge of absolute fatuity, or
anything worse than a little harmless, if pre-
judiced eccentricity. If Mr. ROEBUCK, there-
fore, had confined himself to this, we should
not, probably, have seen any necessity for
alluding to the subject. The question at issue
is so very stale, and so little likely ever to be
satisfactorily solved, that we might be ex-
cused for wishing to keep clear of it. But
when the Hon. Member, after abusing the
aristocracy to his hea
show that the middle

u•t's content, goes on to
classes area thousand.
