THE ELECTORAL RIGHTS OF COMPOUND

HOUSEHOLDERS.

Yesterday a deputation, emanating from the
Fist London Parliamentary Reform Association, waited on
Sir George Grey, to call his attention to • recant decision
disenfranchising compound householders. The deputation
was numerous, sod included Mr. Haddeld, kLP., Mx. Baines,
M.P., Mr. Lawson, Mr. Washingtoo Wilke, Mr.
Twelvetrees, Mr. J. A. Horsier, Mr. John Ford, Mr. Warigtte:
Mr. Allan, the Rev. Dawson Burns, Mr. G.J. Holyoake,
Mr. Ellis, Mr. Donavon, Ac. The deputation was introduced
by Mr. Hadfield, M.P.; and the Home Secretary wee
addressed by Mr. Ellis, Mr. Washington Wilke, Mr. J.
Noble, Mr. Ford, and others.
The speakers pointed out the great hardship indicted on
the compound householders whose claims to exercise the
franchise, on the condition of paying the composition to the
poor rates previously accepted by the pariah, bad been re-
]acted. It appeared that a numerous body of householders
had in the mat of London served the overseers with notices
to be placed upon the rate-book, in order to qualify them-
selves to be put upon the register, under the provisions of
Sir William Gaye act, but the perish, instead of claiming
the amount payable under the former composition, chose to
charge the applicants at the fuU comment. The right of
the trustees to terminate the composition had been affirmed
by a bench of magistrates in the case of " Suffern v. The
Pariah of Bromley." Such a decision was, in the view of
the speakers, opposed to Sir W. Gay's act, and it we. hoped
the Home Secretary would introduce a measure rendering
the law ea the subject clear, and affirming the right of the
compound householders to exercise the franchise when they
had paid the composition formerly accepted.
Sir Geoircit GREY remarked on the difficulties connected
with the question, and said he rather thought the depute.
lice ought to have obtained a decision oa the points at issue
in the Queen's Bench before it had been submitted to his
notice. He begged to nay, however, that he would give the
question his beat consideration.

POLAND.

The following fact, which we find mentioned in
the Polish journals, shows the perfect organisa-
tion of the system of surveillanoe exercised by the
National Government of Warsaw :

A few days ego, Y. Enoch, Secretary of State, was in-
vited to a private party at the residence of the Grand Duke.
On that very day a number of prisoners were brought
to Warsaw. The Grand Duke asked what was to be done
with them, the citadel being filled. H. Enoch replied,
_ .

"The old most be emit to Siberia, and the young incorpo-
rated in the army." The conversation took pleas in French,
and, with the exception of the Grand Dukes family, no one
was present except two aides-de-camp. Two hours after,
M. Enoch, on returning home, wee surprised to find a letter
from the National Government, in which bia own words
were quoted, and threatening him with a halter.

According to a Berlin letter the departure of the '
King of Prussia for Carlsbad will be delayed a few
days, the ministry being desirous that a decision
should be previously come to relative to the mea-

his Majesty to put an end to the deplorable crisis

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

M. GueroulesOpinionNationate is the only even-
ing paper that presumes to offer a criticism upon
the Emperor's letter to General Forey, published
by the Moniteur. It says :
These words breathe a generous sentiment which we
have great pleasure in recording ; but it must be confessed,
after all, that they do not tell the country what it most
desires to know, namely, what are the precise intentions of
the government as to the object and duration of the expe-
dition.
The field is left open for all aorta of conjectures ;
end the public will continue to ask with anxiety whether
the mission of our army is to protect the new government
with which it is intended to endow Mexico for some very
long time, and whether even we may not exact territorial I
compensations.
The latter hypothesis does not, indeed, seem to
be consistent with the imperial letter ; but one
may easily be mistaken when a situation is imper-
fectly
defined, and an article in yesterday's France
is calculated to excite apprehensions.
M. de la Guerouniere's journal argues that, since
the expedition has cost us a great deal of money,
we are entitled to ample compensation. It sneers
at " platonic " glory as the only recompense for
our sacrifices, and demands effective guarantees
"for the honour, interest, and influence of France."
Bullier's Correspondence says that France will
"confine " herself to requiring a territorial and
maritime establishment in Mexico ; and that as to
the "emotion" which such an arrangement may
produce among "certain governments," France
will care no more about it than they did about the
perils of the euterprise in which she has succeeded,
but in which their hope was that she might fail.
The same Correspondence says :

In spite of the denial of the CoListimionnel, I MR certify
that the preparations ordered in the anticipation of large
reinforcement' of men and material (more especially the
latter) being sent out to Mexico are Mill going oneactively
at Toulon and elsewhere, only they will be kept back till
detailed report' are received f ram General Forey.
General Marey-Monge, one of the newest sena-
tors, has just died at Bone, in Algeria.
It is rumoured that Gen. Bezaine, who, according
to the latest news, was marching from Puebla upon
the city of Mexico, is to be forthwith made a
senator. There is not the slightest doubt that
General Forey will shortly be gazetted a marshal of
France.

DRAMA.

MADAM RISTORI.

If the admirers of Madame Ristori had any doubt
as to the strength of the impression which she had crested
in England by her previous performances, it must have been
removed last night. Probably no performance, except the
great operatic triumphs of past times, ever drew together
so enthusiastic an assemblage. The classic drama
of Medea has little hold upon the feelings of
an English audience. Its severe Greek construction,
its devoted adherence to the unities of time
and place, He strict observance of the rule of keeping all
exciting incident off the stage, and developing its story
merely by set speeches and passionate outbursts, are things
which appeal more to the sympathies of scholars than to the
ordinary tastes of the country of Shakespeare and the
romantic drama. In this mu, however, the passionate
declamation and tragic pathos of Madame Ristori are the
great attraction. The dignified performance of Signor
Tesoro as Cram, the good taste and genuine feeling of
Signor Ciotti as Orpheus, and the equally commendable
acting of Signor Glech in the part of Jason, were
little heeded in the enthusiastic attention to the great
tropfdientse.
The drama is too well known to require any special no-
, tire. All the familiar points were taken up by the audience
as promptly as if they bad been favourite rumps in Bast-
:ld or Melaka' delivered by a popular English actor. The
long scene which forms the second act was as remarkable as
ever for its variety of MDOOOO. The terrible passage in
which Medea conceives the idea of murdering her rival, end
the affecting lament, were delivered by Madame Bread
wiehihchairlrew downta an and

The next perfonnanai of Madame Ristori will take pleas

CRICKET.

COVE TY OF SCRREY V. FOURTEEN OF 11111P-
saum.—At the Surrey Ground. Kennington-oval, venter.
day, much interest was created to witness this match,
owing to its being upwards of 40 years sisal Hampshire
played as a county club. A new club haw* now been esta-
blished, apparently on a firm basis, Hampshire determined
to try their strength with Surrey. the latter giving them
the odds. Soon after twelve o'clock the game commenced
by Surrey taking possession of the wickets, and the innings
dosed for 109. Hampshire did not commence their innings
auspiciously. the first seven wickets falling for 37 runs only.
Mr. Wallace and W. Humphrey, however. came to the
mime, the fanner marking 29 very skilfully, and the latter
31. Captain Walton then added 17, and the rest were mingle
figures. Total of the innings, 117. The game was resumed
this morning.

This match was commenced yesterday at Lord's Ground,
and there was a fashionable attendance. Several very

lent bowling of Gruudy and Reynolds, who kept on
throughout the innings. Raton kept wicket most praise.

United Eleven had scored 52 for the loss of six wickets
when "time" was called. C. Daft gained his 20 very
i neatly, and Grundy and Wieder' were left not out, the
former with 11, and the latter with 13. The match was

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

ORAOOW, JUNI27.
Tho Russians have fallen back upon Suwalki.
The insurrection in Podlechia continues un-
dimic
The ewe of to-day says : The denial given by
the Russian government to the statement that
General Mouravieff had issued an order of great
severity against women wearing mourning is false.
The fact is that General Mouravieff has condemned
women who wear mourning to a fine of 26 to 100
roubles ; but if they cannot pay they are flogged
with rods. This order has provoked disturbances
among the population of Wilna, in the suppression
of which the troops have killed 40persons.
A murderous encounter occurred in Podolia on
the 23rd ; and on the same day an engagement took
place at Oran'', in Lithuania, terminating is favour
of the Russians.

RUSSIA AND THE DIPLOMATIC NOTES.
ST. PETERSBURG. JUNI 2T.

The notes of England, France, and Austria, on
the Polish question, were remitted to Prince Gorte-
eliskoff to-day.

PARIS, Jun 93.

The Mhnorial Diplcnnatique of to-day says :" We
are able to announce that the acceptance by Russia
of the preliminary bases of the notes of England,
France, and Austria, appears certain, although the
cabinet of St. Petersburg intends to demand in
an explanatory note some modifications of the pro-
gramme of the three Powers. Russia will, it is
stated, also ask that the seat of the European Con-
ference on the Polish question should be St. Peters-
burg. In designating her own capital
as the place of meeting for the plenipoten-
tiaries, Russia clearly indicates that she enters com-
pletely into the views of the three cabinets respect-
ing the urgent necessity of arresting the effusion of
blood before the opening of the Conferences. The
Russian government has taken the wise course of
yielding to the friendly remonstrances of the three
Powers who signed the notes of the 10th April last,
being well aware that they are already preparing to
form a close triple alliance for the realization of the
unalterable aim of their common efforts, in the event
of diplomatic means being exhausted without assu-
ring the pacification of Poland."
The Memorial Diplomatique further states that
the three Powers have agreed to recommend Brum-
, sels as the seat of the Conference, and expresses a
6 belief that Russia will accept this arrangement.

ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM IN FRANCE.

PARIS, Joss 28.

A letter addressed by the Emperor to the Presi-
dent of the Council of State bag been published to-
day, in which his Majesty says :
"Our systemof centralisation, despite its advan-
tage*, is attended by the serious inconvenience of
leading to an excess of administrative action.
"It is impossible to understand why an unim-
portant commercial affair should require investiga-
tions lasting at least two years, owing to the inter-
vention of eleven different authorities."

The Emperor further expresses himself convinced
of the urgency of this reform, necessitating the re-
vision of numerous laws, decrees, ordinances, and
ministerial instructions. His Majesty entrusts this
labour to the different sections of the Council of
State,; " for if," continues the letter, " a Council of
State does not administer, it observes the acts of
the administration."

The Emperor concludes by saying :
" As I attach great importance to this reform I
rely upon the enlightened zeal of the Council of
State to arrive very soon at a satisfactory solu-
tion."

WHIN, JUNII 23.
Thereseeme to be a mania for duelling juat now,
just as there is sometimes a mania fur suicide. I
mentioned in ray last that it was probable the
President of the Council, Signor Minghetti, would
accept the provocation offered to him by Signor
'Lattanzi, and the event proved me to be right.
Signor Rattaszi has now been beaten both in and
out of parliament. The sabre wound he received
was alight, but it was sufficient to give his adver-
sary the ,victory. Another duel was spoken of be-
tween the Minister of Foreign Affairs and ore of
the leaders of the Left; and it is almost certain that
1 the editor of the Opinion will measure
paces with Signor Corte, or Signor IC-
cetera. It seems that the party of action
; want An redoes the constitutional print to silence
by intimidation. Meanwhile the rumour runs that
1 another duel between two ex-Garibaldians has had a
' fatal termination. It is said that both combatants
I are dead, and this is not unlikely, as they were each
Ito fire six times at ten paces. One of them, named
Deus, is a colonel in the regular army ; the other
bad been expelled from the risineent. A eassiadttee
lof officers had decided that Colonel Dena ought
not to accept the duel, but being provoked by the
offensive tone of the challenger be could not resist.
The encounter took place in Switzerland. Does it
not seem as though there were something in all this
closely akin to madness 1
The national rifle contest for the prize of 100,000
francs and smaller sums still continues, the atten-
dance being very great. Prince Humbert presided
at the opening day, and accepted an invitation to
be present at the Swiss Federal contest. Every-
thing went off well, and excellent taste was dis-
played in all the details. The fireworks were good,
and could not have been displayed upon a better
spot—near the river, with verdant mountains
behind, and a vast piazza and a wide and splendid
street in front.
It a that since the questions of Bertani,
Ri • p • and Manch', and the unexpected and
violent attack of Signor Rattazzi, the old majority
has been reconstituted, and that the government
can rely upon an amount of support in the Cham-
ber which will enable them to act, with more
certainty than before. The ministers have thus
been benefited by the very violence of their own
adversaries. If this state of things continues, the
country will advance in the path of organization,
and the measures it needs will be permed. It is
thought that Parliament will sit for three weeks
more, or perhaps a little longer, and then be pro-
rogued to the commencement of October.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(P2ox oos own onnapoirszn.)
PARIS, WIDNIBDAT EVINING.

It was reported a few days ago that M. Jules
Fevre, being elected for Paris, had given up his
chance of ballotage at Lyons, in favour of Dr.
Barrie ; but, this news was not correct. The
famous tribune of the people has written the
following letter to the electors of Lyons :
My dear conotrymen,—l am happy end proud of your
suffrages. If, after this first trial, )on think my name will,
better than any other, rally your vote; for the ballotage, I
shall joyfully remain your candidate, being of opinion, with
you, that the great thing is to gain another success which
will be a fresh pacific and legal affirmation of the glorious
order of the day of electoral France. The question of my
option for one of the two mete will come later. 1 can
only resolve that question after consulting with
my friends sod with you; when the proper
time comes we will try to do for the best.
But, whether representing Paris or Lyons, I shall
always be the natural defender of your interests. The
bonds formed in our cradle are not broken by new alliances,
and the secret leaning of the heart is always with the place
where it first beat. JuLra Farris

The Prase says it is certain that M. Jules Favre
will elect to sit for Lyons, and that another great
orator (probably M. Dufaure) will come in for
Paris. M. Ravin will probably, as I said before,
recommend his friends in Paris to vote for M.
Laboulaye. But these options cannot be made
till parliament meets, and there is no chance of that
event till November.

There has been something like a panic at the
Bourse. Rente fell only 10c., closing at 69fr. 20c.;
but the French and Spanish Mobiliers were seri-
ously affected, falling respectively 42fr. 50c. and
27fr. 60c.

A dozen American trotters, purchased for the
Emperor in the United States, arrived at the im-
perial stables in the Louvre to-day.

and the garrison.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.
CRACOW, JUNI 10.

The Czas of to-day says:

Despair has provoked the insurrection, but diplo-
macy acts frivolously and with procrastination in
face of the atrocities committed by the Russians.
England alone in proposing au armistice has under-
stood the gravity of the question. To throw the
Poles on the generosity of the Czar is to destroy the
sympathies of the Poles, and draw together Napo-
leon and the Czar. Hesitation on the part of the
Emperor Napoleon would be a proof of an alliance
with Russia, dangerous for Europe and for liberty,
or of a desire to settle the Eastern question in con-
junction with Russia. The initiative of England
and Austria in the Polish question can alone pre-
vent this."

HERR GOFFRIE'S SOIREF MUSICALES.

The first of these performances took place last
night at the Beethoven Rooms, Harley-street. The pro-
gramme coneisted largely of sinxle vocal pieces sung by
Mdlle. Elvin Behrens, Mdlle. Louise van Noorden, Miss
Eleonora Wilkinson, Signor &venni, and Mr. F. D'Alquen.
The selection, which was of a varied and plessingchancter,
was interspersed with some excellent instrumental perform-
ances—Herr C,offrie, one of our best violinists, contributing
• brilliant solo by De Berlot, Herr Lidel a fantasia on the
violoncello, and Harr Gollwick metalling the pianoforte part
in Schumann's quartett. One of the chief features of the
concert, however, was the pianoforte playing of Miss
Alice Mangold. This young lady, a pupil of Adolph
Henselt, plays with • refinement arid grace of style and
finished execution that are rare in these days of hasty
preparation and premature display. In Beethoven's charm-
ing pianoforte trio in B fiat (the one with the variations co
" Fria she l'impegno") Miss Mangold displayed • thorough
appreciation of classical music., and an aptitude for con.
oertante playing that is not always possessed by solo per-
formers—while, in • study of Henselt's, and • Gavotte
and Musette by Bach (the latter piece enthusiastically
encorcd), Mils Mangold was equally admirable is the
modern romantic bravura style and the close sequential
I formalism of the elder clank. Stich thoroughly satisfactory
playing as that of Miss Mangold depot., a high order of
musical intelligence, and a careful and elaborate training,
that should gain for this young lady a special place among
pianists.

Advices from Vicksburg are to the 27th May.
The Federals had been repulsed in three assaults.
The last assault was made by General Sherman
with 20,000 men, and he lost 000 killed and a large
number wounded. The Federal outer lines were
within 100 yards of the Confederate works.
The Confederate fortifications consist of a chain
of forts 800 yards apart, connected by deep
entrenchments, and extending several miles.
It is supposed that regular siege operations will
be necessary to capture the city.
Apprehensions are entertained of an attack in
General Grant's rear.

General Johnston was reported to be in the
neighbourhood of Jackson with 15,000 men, short
of provisions.
Southern journals assert that two gunboats bad
been sunk at Vicksburg, and that General Banks
had crossed the Mississippi at Bayou Sara, seven
miles above Port Hudson.
Commodore Porter officially reports that he has
destroyed the navy yards at Yazoo City, together
with three powerful steamers, a formidable rain,
and all kinds of machinery and property, valued at

Despatches from Murfreesboro, state that the
Confederate General Marmaduke was reported to
have captured Helena, Arkansas, and many negro
soldiers, all of whom, together with their officers,
he had hung. The public await further advices
before crediting this report.
General Burnside has informed General Bragg
that he should hang ten Confederate officers if the
Confederates retaliated for the two, who General

THE MUSICAL UNION.

Mr. Ella has introduced to the acquaintance of
the English public another young violinist who premiers to
be one of the "shining lights" of his art; a Hungarian
youth, Leopold Auer by name, who appeared on Tuesday at
the /Caine.° of the Musical Union. He was educated at the
Conservatoire of Vienna, where, in 1868, at the age of
thirteen, he gained the lint prise. He boa since received
instructions from Joachim, and bee appeared at several
places on the Continent (Copenhagen in particular)
with great names. At the Musical Union on
Tuesday be took the first violin in two beau-
tiful quartets—Mozart's in C, No. 6, and Mendelssohn's
in D, op. 44—and delighted the highly musical audieoce by
his tone—similar to Joachim's in its rich and vocal quality—
hie brilliant execution, and his pure and finished style. He
played, moreover, a solo composed by Vietatemps, entitled
a "Reverie "—s slow and expressive movement, in the
style of vocal music, which he sang upon his instrument
with exquisite grace and feeling. This young man, in short,
seems to be following closely the steps of Joachim whose
renown, in all human probability, be will one day emulate.
Besides these tine performances, there was another
equally interesting—Beethoven's %rand sonata in F for the
piano and violoncello, played by Halle and PiattL This is
one of the most beautiful of the composer's early works ;
and there are note which display more strikingly the admi-
rable qualities of our incomparable rioloncelliat. The
execution of both performers was perfect, and the applause
which rang through the ball at the conclusion of the
piece showed bow great a treat it had been to the audience.
The three remaining commits of the season will take place
on June 16, June 23, and July 7. At the next, Leopold
Auer will appear a second time, together with Herr Dan-
nereuther, the distinguished pianist recently arrived from
Leipsic.

PORTUGAL

" King Fernando of Portugal," says a letter
from Lisbon, " will shortly leave this capital on a
journey of several month& His Majesty will first
visit Spain, France, and Belgium, and then go:and
spend some time with his daughters the Princesses
of Hohenzollern and Saxony. The King will after-
wards proceed to Hungary to see his brother,
Prince Leopold. This will be the first time since
his marriage in 1836 that Don Fernando will have
visited Germany.
" The presentation of the bill on free trade in
wine in the Douro has led to some tumultuous
meetings at Regos and other towns in that pro-
vince, at which the maintenance of the present sys-
tem was called for. In presence of those mani-
festations, the ministry thought it better to call
for the postponement of the discussion of the bill
until the question shall have been more maturely
examined. That step appears, however, to have
only encouraged the exciters of those popular meet-
ings, for accounts from Villa Reale state that
20,000 persons bad assembled there to petition
against free trade, and that a permanent central
committee had been appointed."
