A CONFEDERATE PLOT ON LAKE ERIE.

The ringleaders of the plot to seize the United
States steamer Michigan, ►nd liberate the John-
sena Island prisoners, have mostly been arrested.
Their plans were discovered in time and utterly
defeated. One of the steamers captured by them
has been recovered. The other they scuttled and
sunk. Some of the party have taken refuge in
Canada ; but the principal ones have been arrested.
Several prominent secession sympathisers in San-
dusky and district have been implicated in the con-
spiracy and arrested. No blame is in any way
attached to the Canadian authorities.

The Montreal Herald of Sept. 22 says :—" If
the facts are as related, a moat improper use has
been made of the asylum which those men have
obtained in Canada, and we trust that the govern-
ment will, as the late government did, take every
step to prevent acts of this kind, which, if per-
mitted, will sooner or later bring us into a state of
war with our neighbours. There can be no doubt
of the tendency of such acts, and if the guilty p►r-
ties have been arrested we hope they will be
brought to trial and punishment. The neutrality
of the lakes is a most important and valuable
convention, especially for the weaker party, as we
are ; but it will plainly be abrogated if Canadian
porta are used Ma cover for persons seeking to
assail American commerce."

The Richmond papers publish an order from the
Confederate War Department for the enrolment of
all white males between 17 and 50 not actually
serving with the Confederate armies in the field.

Postmaster General Blair, having previously an-
nounced his willingness to resign whenever it should
be deemed advisable, has been notified by the Pre-
sident that the time has come, and his resignation
has been formally tendered and accepted. Ex.
Governor Linneson, of Ohio, succeeds him.
General Price has crossed the Arkansas River for
an invasion of Missouri. General Shelby is co-
operating. The Missouri militia retreated before
Shelby from Charleston to White Water River.

THE AUSTRIAN ARMY IN VENETIA.

A writer in the Debats says :

I have bee. able to procure enact information as to the
present state of the Austrian forces in Venetia. The army
of General Benedek still consists of three corps, each com-
posed of 25,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, and the total
force including artillery is 90,000. There are moreover two
divisions of reserve in the Tyrol ander Generals Castiglione
and Harlan, and 20 battalions specially destined to guard the
fortified towns. The total of the Austrian troops in Venetia
all included is therefore 127,000 men and 15,000 honer. This
farce is sufficient to repel an aggression, but not for an
offensive war.

THE TEXT OF THE FRANCO-ITALIAN
CONVENTION.

PARIS. OCT. 7.
The following is the text of the Franco-Italian
Convention :

" Art. 1. Italy undertakes not to attack the pre-
sent territory of the Pope, and even to prevent by
force any attack proceeding from the exterior.

" Art. 2. France will withdraw her troops grad-
ually as the army of the Pope becomes organised.
The evacuation will nevertheless be accomplished
within two years.
" Art. 3. The Italian government will make no
protest against the organisation of a papal army,
even composed of foreign catholic volunteers,
sufficient to maintain the authority of the Pope
and tranquillity both at home and on the frontier
of the Papal States ; provided, however, that this
force does not degenerate into a means of attack
against the Italian government.
"Art. 4. Italy declares herself ready to enter into
an arrangement for assuming a proportional part of
the debt, of the former States of the Church,

RUMOURED CONCESSION OF D)

A report has reached the Times that the Danish
government have at the eleventh hour made a con-
ciliatory offer, and entered into some sort of obliga-
tion, as yet of wares informal, to suspend the
obnoxious constitution. "If such an offer has
really been made," says the Times, "it will for the
time avert the imminent danger of war. The course
of events pauses, and the dispute cuwes again into
the more controllable and more reasonable stage of
negotiation. It is earnestly to be hoped that the
good news may receive speedy confirmation. If
Denmark has suspended the constitution, she will
have taken the only step which was wanting to
deprive the German powers of any decent pretext
for hostilities, and she will have displayed a power
of self-control which will gain for her an overpower-
ing moral support in foreign countries." The
latest telegrams, we should add, are scarcely recon-
cilable with the foregoing rumour. _

It was reported yeeteraay at Kiel that the Saxons
and Hanoverian* are to be withdrawn from their
positions in the duchy of Holstein and concen-
trated in Altana, in order to allow a free passage

THE POLISH DEPITTERS IN THE PRUSSIAN

A letter from Berlin, written on Tuesday, says :
In to-day's Chamber, after the discussion of
various matters, Deputy Waldeck rose to inquire of
ministers (Messrs. Miller and Lippe were alone pre-
sent) concerning the four Polish deputies confined in
the prison of the Hastsvoigtei in Berlin, whose libera-
tion the chamber had demanded on Saturday, in virtue
of par. 84 of the Constitution. Count Zur Lippe
replied briefly that he had given orders that they
should be released. He and his colleague then im-
mediately left the chamber, which remained some-
what agitated, deputies asking each other why, if
the order bad been given, nobody had heard of the
release, and where the four ex-prisoners were.
The Minister of Justice had said nothing of when
he bad given the order. It was clear that it
could not have been long leaned, and the deputies
of the Opposition may not unnaturally have felt
annoyed and offended at the delay, being, more-
over, very well convinced that if the vote had
been come to in behalf of supporters of the govern-
ment, they would have been free within three hours,
instead of being detained three days in contempt of
the resolution of the House. However, just as I
was leaving the Chamber, I saw three of the Polish
prisoners, coming along arm-in-arm, with counte-
nances doubly joyful at their own liberation, and at
the sort of triumph achieved by their friends (aided
by the Constitution) over the government. They
were stopped more than once, as they came through
the Donhofs-square, by persons who embraced and
congratulated them, but presently they entered the
Chamber itself, and were nest cordially received by
their collentkee, MM, Buleszycki, Lubienski, and
Bzuman were the three. no; jartl2;

THE LEEDS BAIFKINO OOMPABY.

A private meeting of the shareholders in the
Leeds Banking Company was held yesterday at Leeds, to con-
sider the 0301111 ii to adopt in of the
enspeation of the beak. No statement ofoaccounts was
presented, and the public are therefore still some-
what in the dark as to the real position of the
bank. The statement we published yesterday was,
we believe, a near approximation to the troth.
It was suggested by Mr. Joy that 100,000/. would be shout
the extent of the bad debts doe to the company, but to a
question put by Mr. Middleton, solicitor, whether that sum
would cover the total liebilitieu of the ecompany, no answer
was given. Facts have oome to our knowledge, however, whiob
we think reader it extremely desirable that no delay should
take place in making fully known the exact position of the
bank, which ma only be deco after a thorough investiga-
tion of the books and an examination of the paper which
has been discounted for some time past. The feel-
ing manifested by the shareholders was as tem-
perate and conciliatory as could be looked for under
the circumstances, and the result of a long discussion
plainly showed a general desire to have the affair of
the bank wound up as speedily and as favourably as
CTI‘A committee was appointed to act in coujunc-
rith the directors in as, steps they might consider
it desirable to take, having in view the ale or transfer
of the bank or the resumption of business. The
directors declared themselves ignorant of the nature of
some of the paper that had been discounted, and the
shareholders were cautioned before separates( not to
entertain too e • an opinion of their pcsition, but
be prepared fora being made upon them. We learn
at a later period of the day that the premises of the bank
have been sold to the London and Northern Bask is(
Company, who have also made overtures for the transfer
of the credit current and the deposit account of the Leeds
Bank.—Leeds Mercury of this day.

such charges were made, and no evidence was give, in sup-

The semi-official Novddentsdie dllyeinei.e ZeiSung
of to-day keys :—" The intention of extending the
term of the armistice for a longer period has been
abandoned, the protraction of the peace negotia-
tions on the part of Denmark not having been
without influence on that point. In fact, the
political situation in Copenhagen has assumed a
peculiar character. Not only do the Swedish
papers evince in the most pointed manner Scandi-
navian tendencies, but even the Copenhagen jour-
nals openly avow sentiments favourable to the
formation of a Scandinavian dynasty. Instead of
recognising, they attack the stipulations of the
peace preliminaries."

The article concludes thus :--" It is therefore
quite intelligible that the great German Powers
should adhere strictly to paragraph 1 of the pro-
tocol of the armistice, whereby hostilities can be
resumed at any time after a six weeks' notice."

THE ROMAN QUESTION.

PAWN Barr. U. Emma.

The semi-official Correspondence Mesas of this
evening publishes an article upon the Roman ques-
tion, ooncluding thus :—" From the moment that
the Italian Goverment selects Florence as the
capital of Italy, it clearly shows its intention of
renouncing Rome. There will thenceforward be no
ground for the occupation of that city, especially
since it is a well-known fact that France has away.
been desirous of evacuating Rome, and that
the obstacles to her so doing have arisen
from events which have happened in Italy. France
will choose the hour and the time, and will only
wait until the new capital shall have bees chases,
and the Pope shall have organised a sufficient force
to insure his safety. The French policy will thus
prove not to have varied. Although respecting the
principle of non-intervention,she remains faithful to
the resolution of offering guarantees for the main-
tenance of the Papal power."
M. Nigra will leave this evening for Turin.

The majority of the evening papers demand
explanations from the Moniker and the other
ministerial journals relative to the oonvention

TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS.

Btn, —The address delivered by Dr. Livingstone
I on Mondry may fairly be regarded as one of the successes of
the meeting of the British Association. Many of the sub-
jects before the association demanding, befote they could
be appreciated, a special coarse of training or severe
intellectual effort, failed to sustain the attention
of • nowecientific public ; bat there can be few
people who do not feel some degree of interest either
in the personal stingy which prompts, or the mate-
rial advantages which must result from African
explorations. The politician, the financier, the mer-
chant, the philanthropist, and social reformer are
equelly interested in discoveries which open up fresh
fields for enterprise. Important, moreover, as was the
subject of the address, the interest attaching to the speaker
himself from the heroic perseverance, singleness of pur-
pose, and absence of all selteeeking which have uniformly
distinguished him, can scarcely be over-estimate], and to
this in • great measure must be attributed the hold which I
Dr. Livingstone obtained upon his sadism*. Courage is
the virtue to which as • nation we most willingly pay
homage, sad all of us delight to honour the man who,
after narrating such a history as that of hie last expedition,
could boldly assert that, " though baffled be had not lest
heart." Such unflagging energy is the guarantee of ulti- I
mate success. Whether it be given to Dr. Livingstone or
not to reap the fruit of his labours, posterity will recog-
nise in him the principal agent in creating that interest in
African discoveries, which mast lead to the civilising of the
inhabitants of Africa, and the noble purpose of his life will
be accomplished. With telling effect do the clear date-
meats of Dr. Livingstone testify against much of the
talk that has been of late too common respecting the
inefficiency of all agencies employed in spreading amongst
the inferior races the blessings of civilisation and Chris-
tianity. On the eastern coast, where (he tells no the lour-
demos ravages of the slave-bunter are still frequent, the
unfortunate tribes have been decimated, their fruitful
valleys converted literally into "valleys of dry bones," all
commerce and organised methods of civilisation destroyed.
The desolation wrought by the roan-hunter was the
eau* of the ill success of the Zambesi expedition.
Whilst on the other hand, on the western coast, where
British influence prevails, and piracy and slavery are sup.
pressed, commerce in a few year' bee increased from 20.000/,.
to nearly 3,000,0001. per annum, and schools have been
established in which 12,000 children are receiving instruc-
tion.

Declamations are valueless whilst we have such facto,
end we can rejoice that, if in some parts of the continent
of Africa our rule Ilea not promoted, as it ought to have
done, the well being and happiness of its inhabitants, Bri-
tish effort and legislation have at lout produced happier
results on the Western Coast,-1 am, &c.,

letter, "will without doubt last as long as that
which preceded it. Marshal Narvaez does not pre-
side over the cabinet, but it is evident that his
ideas prevail there ; they have perhaps become a
little moderated, but are still powerfuL The ma-
jority of the new ministers have been either his
colleagues or his satellites."

SWEDEN.

A letter from Stockholm of the 19th says:—
"The feeling here against the German confedera-
tion, and especially against Prussia and Austria,
has increased to such an extent that the govern
went cannot but act upon it. Everywhere meet-
jogs are being held to sign addressee requesting
the government to prevent by every means the
success of the attack in contemplation against our
Scandinavian brothers of Denmark. Committees
are being formed in the principal cities of the
kingdom, for the purpose of receiving national
subscriptions intended for the formation and
arming of corps of volunteers, who will march to
the support of the Danish nation. Perhaps they
have not sufficiently considered yet at Vienna and
Berlin the opposition to be met with on the part of
Sweden."

THE PRETENDER A FEDDALIST.

The Kreutz-Zeitung mentions the following fact :
—The Prince of Augustenburg, before his depar-
ture from Dolzig, was president of • patriotic
association, the motto of which was, "We wish for
• strong royalty, such as is neeessary for the his-
torical development of Prussia." At a sitting on
the 18th October last the prince delivered a speech
in which he energetically declared his opinion
against the progtessist party, and even against the
old liberals. At the last elections he voted for the
old feudal party. "Is it not singular," asks the
Nord, in reference to this subject, "that with such
precedents the Prince of Augustenburg finds his
partisans principally among the liberal party ? His
antecedents are a sad omen for Holstein if, unfortu-
nately, he should ever govern that duchy."

ITALY.

The Italia publishes the following from Foggia,
in the kingdom of Naples, dated the 21st :—" Last
night two shepherds, named Frattarnolo and
Arsarone, aided by some men of the National
Guard of Monte-Sant-Angelo, captured the fero-
cious brigand chief Palumbo, known as Principe
Luigi, the terror of Gargano, and his brother
Pasquale. The combat was a desperate one, as
the two brigands were well armed, whilst the
shepherds, who were surprised in a farm, had only
their hatchets to defend themselves with. The
brigands, being at last severely wounded in the
head, were secured, and carried to the prison of
Monte-Sent-Angelo. The municipality has voted
a sum of 100 ducats (425 fr.) to the two captors."

GUILDHALL.

Mr. Alderman Gibbous, the presiding magistrate,
handed to our reporter the subjoined letter, which he said
had been forwarded to him, as the sitting alderman, by a
resident of Stoke Newington. who stated that his sister
advertised in the Times newspaper for a situation as
housemaid, and received in reply the abominable letter
which he enclosed—his object in forwarding that letter
to the magistrates being to expose, and in some measure
stop, the growing evil of entrapping young girls for bees
purposes. The worthy alderman very much regretted that
the law could not reach inch pests to society. It was,
however, fortunate that such corrupt practices oould, to •
certain extent, be rendered abortive through the medium
of the public press, mod he trusted, therefore, that this
caution would have the effect of preventing girls from
being entrapped :—" Should C. H. not procure the situa-
tion required, would she object to live with • gentleman
oompanion, ht. If approved of lie would gm a good
salary and a comfortable home. If you think anything
of this, send full particulars of yourself and say if you are
cheerful and good-looking. Also send your portrait if you
have it, which shall be returned. You may rely on my
confidence. Address, W. F., 151, Cheapaide, E.C."

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-110MB

The Lord Mayor handed to the reporter a letter he bad re-
*sired hem a professional gentleman of high standing, in
which the writer drew his lordship's attention to the con-
tinumice of a fraud which, though it has already been ex-
posed, apparently is still carried on with but too great
MINIM The writer states that his object in addressing
the Lord Mayor is through him to protect the relatives of
deceased persons of position, and to guard the public
against a diabolical and inferno= system of fraud which ia car-
tied on in addressing letters to pertona whine obituary
notices have appeared in the Timm, with the intent that
such communications shall fall into the hands of the
relative' of the deceased, whose commiseration nay be thus
excited towards the writer, to so nothing of the ►nguish
created by the discovery of 's infidelity aod misconduct
in carrying on such an intrigue. One of these letters he
stated had lately been received by the wife of • gentleman
whose death was recorded in the Tines six weeks bark, in
which the writer affects a correspondence with a gentleman
addressed, "ia surprised that she has no: heard from him,*
and goes on to say that " his child is starving, herself in
want," and upbraids the party addressed for having induced
her to leave her country, and left her and his offspring to
starve in • foreign country, and finally asking for a remit-
tame of 104, and adding that "if this her last request he
not complied with, she will remain true to her vow and
never divulge her betrayer, but leave him to the punish-
meat of a guilty conscience." The writer of the letter to
, the Lord Mayor states that four years ago be had occasion
to expose • similar attempt, when • letter of the same cha-
racter was received by the friends of another family with
which he was professionally connected, the contents of
which were precisely similar to the one above alluded to,
and he believed the handwriting to be the same. The
Lord Mayor said he hoped the publicity which would
be given by the pram would be the means of putting the
public on their guard sg•insst such a winked fraud.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Coenrsim. ismerGoelbura.)
THI MATTO& OF • DK= OF •111/11011:111111T.
This case has been frequently before the court. The
bankrupt had entered into a deed of artangemast with his
ireditors for the payment of 2a. Bd. la the pound. The pro-
,,,,diags in bankruptcy had been suspended, and the deed
being completed, the court was now asked to make ma order
that it should he registered, and to annul the bankruptcy.
31r. Lemnos appeared in support of the deed.
His Honour now gave judgment. He was required by
the terms of the 187th seoe of the act of 1861. to satisfy
himself that the deed bad been duly executed, and that
its terms were reasonable, sad oelculated to benefit
the general body of creditors. It wee neosisery, by
meat dessimioes, that such a deed an this should extend
its benefits to the whole of the creditors, as well those
who dissented se those who assented ; the dissenting cre-
ditors were *staled to a remedy equally prompt and efil•
moons with the others. The court had some doubt whether
the terms of the deed wore sufficiently clear to this respect ;
bat on the principle that the deed moat he taken to effect
what was evidently its object, the court would hold it to
be sufficient, and would direct that it should be registered,
and afterwards annul the bankruptcy.

IN RE waarmas—APPLICATIOX TO11:110VI 1110CIRDING8.
Mr. Sargood asked for en order to remove the proosedings
in thu bankruptcy from Exeter to the Load= court. The
creditors measly all landed in Landon • the bankrupt. had
been arrested in the Exeter dietriot while on a visit in the
neighbourhood, and had been there adjudicated. Then
war no opposition. Lb. order wee made.

121 MC A. A. =Rt.
The bankrupt was described as a clerk in bnly orders, of
:..kwak, and formerly of Brighton. His debts were slated at
no assets.
Mr. West. for the assignees, did not oppose. The larger
rid of the debts were due to relatives. The Hand•in•Harid
oeice were creditors for 1,7013/., and held security on the
bankrupt's wife's property.
His Hollow regretted to find that a mem in the bankrupt's
position had involved himself to so serious as amount. He
might take his order of discharge.
kr. West stated that theankrupt's living had bean
Owed tinder sequestration, and the meditate would get the
benefit of that.
