proved and steady friend of his humbler country-
men, whatever occasional errors of judgment he
may have been chargeable with, he was entitled to
rejoice with them in the evidence before him of
their progress, and in the occasion which his
presence inaugurated, by which that progress
might be at once recognised and aided. So we
can but echo his words in hoping that this Exhi-
bition may fulfil the expectations of its friends and
promoters, in helping the working men and women
of North London to educate themselves and to
raise themselves, assured that the education which
it helps will not be the less effectual because it is
innocent, and because, for once, it certainly goes
entirely with the grain of the pupils.

It is with much pleasure that we (Bury and
Novick/4 Post) report the oonlinued improvement of the
health of the Marquis of BristoL His lordship cannot yet,
we fear, be pronounced entirely out of danger, but his pro-
gress towards recovery has been decided and continuous.
We regret, however, to observe that another member of
the family, our worthy member, Lord Alfred Hervey, has
lately suffered a severe bereavement by the loss of his son,
Mr. Alfred Hervey, a midshipman on board her Majesty's
ship Revenge. The young gentleman, while at Malta, was
attacked with Ulnas a few weeks ago, which became so
alarming that his father went out to him, and was returning
with him to England when he expired. This sad occur-
rence has, as may he imagined, added to the gloom cast over
the whole family.

Tax HEALTH OF LORD CARLDR.R. —The health
of the Earl of Carlisle has been gradually improving all the

The difficulty of obtaining good seamen for the
feet is now severely felt at Woolwich. It is stated that
upwards of 1,000 continuous service men who entered at the
commencement of the Ruasian war from the merchant navy
have refused to meow their engagements, and that many
whose term of ten years has nearly expired have requested
their discharge on being paid off. The grievance complained
of appears to be the new regulations issued by the First
Lord, and denominated " the Somerset discipline." The
stoppages of grog and pay, and the retention, after the
tern of punishment, of defaulter's names on the black list
are much objected to. A notification has been posted at
Woolwich for some weeks past requiring men for the 107-
gun ship Victoria, but with small 'nooses. The fiaphip
Fisgard, formerly crowded to inconvenience, has now but
few men berthed there.

On Sunday the Emperor and Empreea of the
French invited to the imperial table at Pll Cloud the laureate
of Rome who lately gained the grand prime for painting,
sculpture, architecture, and musical composition. Among
the other gusts were Marshal Valliant, Minister of the
Bsaux•Arte ; Count de Niewerkerke, superintendent
of the Baena-Arts ; Count Baciocchi, superintendent-
s. coral of theatres ; M. Auher, director of the Conserva-
toire, An. The Emperor and Empress gave the most
gracious encouragement to the young artiste, and dories

the evening her Majesty presented to each of them
a photograph of the Emperor, herself, and the Prince
Imperial, signing each card with her name. M. Sing was
also informed that his cantata, which had gained the grand
prise for mmical composition, was shortly to he performed
at the Grand Opera.

A correepoudeut of the Times writes:—"The ox-
King of Ode (now on the Continent) told • friend of mine
that the rope-trick ruled to be performed in this faabion.
The performer was tied neck and test and put into a sack,
the month of which was carefully secured. He waethen
thrown into deep water, from which he emerged swimming,
free from both ropes and sack. Now, let this experiment
be tried publicly in the Serpentine with the Brothers Daven-
port, and let Lord Bury, Captain Inglefield, or any other
enlightened amateur be tied up along with them to see fair
play. If they succeed, they will add greatly to the number
of their converts. Of course the Humane Society can be
at head to give them a fair chance of resuscitation if they
fail. A similar ordeal we' once applied to witches; why
not to coojurors

Meyerigeer's impatiently expected and long de-
sired oper•L'Afriosine is now under rehearsal at the Trench
Opera. The following is an analysis of the plot :—Vaaeo
de Gams, returning from his first voyage to Africa with a
cargo of pogrom, is shipwrecked. Two alone of the nevus
were rued—Nelaaco, an African traitor, and Celika, ax.
Queen of !Wapner, a long time before King Radium
and his widow. Vasco is condeaned by a naval court-
martial for having lost his ship, and the sentence is Gorman-
ideated to him in an octuor of bus voices, which is the
most remarkable air in the first act. In the second
act Vasco is in prison with the Queen of Mada-
gascar and Nelueo. The latter wishes to kill
him daring bin sleep, but the Queen, who loves Vasco,
utters a cry and eaves him. In the third act Vasco has
obtained permission to return to Africa to moues his
discoveries. Celika is with him, bet he is again ship-
wrecked, and thrown on the coast of Madagascar. Here is
• change of scenery. Celika fa mistress here in place of
being • slave She will force Vasco to love her or she will
put him to death. At the end, however, she abandoes
bar plans, and it is she will die. To carry her resolution
into effect she goes to deep under the %pas tree while
singing an adieu to Vasco. The plot is romantic and the
scenery is splendid, but the public are uneasy lest the
actors should not prove themselves equal to the parte
allotted to them.

seeing, moreover, the necessity of adopting some
speedy and effiessious measure which the code of

conformity with the unanimous opinion of the
Council of State, decree,

The law for regulating the winding-up of banks
and banking-houses which have failed, was promul-
gated on the 20th inst., and gives the administra-
tion of the same to two of the chief creditors, as-
sisted by an auditor appointed by government, and
is generally most favourable to the establishments
in question. The first step taken after making out
a balanoe-sheet, is, by every available means, to
effect the payment of the small creditors, if not
the whole amount of their claim, then the utmost
the estate of the bankrupt will permit.

The Canadiaa steamer North American arrived

graphic summary of her news has already ap-
peared.
The following are the latest despatches published
in the Quebec journals :

from the rebel forces operating against them.
Derp•tches received last night chow the fullibnent of this
work.

Nothing further has been heard from Sharman sines my
despatch of yesterday. but the retreat of the enemy to-
wards Dallas indicated that he warn close on their rear ow
Alton*.

I have not heard from °lamb Rowan or Washburn to-
day, but presume that they ere pushing Forrest as rapidly
as the condition of the roads oriU admit.

We have had heavy and continuous rains for the last five
days rendering the reads and streams almost impaemble.
I have just received the following from General Granger,
dated Huntsville, October 6 :

Another despatch reports the following :
. .

Telegreph rep;frod to Atlanta to-day.
The action yesterday wee severe. French attacking wits
his division, 7,000 strong, and 'offering hearil7, iturialt his
killed and wounded in Lour hands to the number of 1,000,
while we lag only 300. The fight lasted 'ix hours elto-
gether.

Adrian from St. Louis of the 7th say :—lt is
now ascertained that the bridge over the Gasconade
River has been burnt by the Confederates. Cole
Creek bridge has also been destroyed by them, with
30 cars and 20 locomotives.

Satisfactory reports of the operations against
Richmond and Petersburg have been received, but
their details are not at present proper for publi-
cation.

Activity prevails in Grant's front, where the
armies are engaged ii throwing up earthworks.
A despatch from General Stevenson reports that
an officer of General Sheridan's staff has just
arrived. General Sheridan was still at Harrison-
burg. His supply trains were going on all right,
occasionally interrupted by guerillas, the only rebel
force on the road.

Great activity prevails at Alexandria.
Trains are running to Manassas Gap and Cul-
Pepper.

General Banks wee at the war department. It
is understood he will go North soon.
Orders have been issued prohibiting civilians from
passing the James River from Fort Monroe.

Richmond papers, of the 3rd and 4th, claim that
Early holds Sh,ridan in check, and Early in a
despatch to the citizens of Lynchburg says if they
will turn out and beat off the raiders he will bold
the main force of the enemy where they are.
The Ric Jowled E.an►iner of the 4th says :
The Union cavalry force was 14 miles from Gor-
donsville.

is admitted to be 4,000.
Ewell is said to be in command of the defences
of Richmond, Lee having gone back to Petersburg.
Jeff Davis, in the speech said to have delivered
by him at Macon, made a begging appeal to the
Georgians to fill up the army. He says two-thirds
of the rebel armies were absent without leave—that
is, deserters. They could not send troops from Vir-
ginia to Georgia, because they were as
scarce in the former state as in the
latter. He had been asked why Early was not
sent to Georgia instead of the Shenandoah Valley.
It was because Lynchburg was threatened. What
would prevent the Union troops, if Early was
withdrawn, from taking Lynchburg, and putting a
complete cordon of men around Richmond /

A Vienna letter says :—"Failures are becoming
terribly numerous at Vienna. One of the first houses in
the iron trade, that of Reethorn Brothers, has mtepeoded its
payment. One of the partners in this firm is a member of
the Chamber of Deputies."

The steampneket Motels, of the Meeaageries Ira-
pi:dales Company, sailed last month from Marseilles ter
Alexandria, and on towelling at Messina took on board
Madame Ristori and her troop of comedians to °covey
them to Egypt. The oommander of the Minis thought it
a good opportunity to avail himself of Madame Rieton'a
splendid talents for a charitable purpose, and he requested
her to organise a representation for the sufferers by the Bre
at Limoges. Madame Ristori willingly satiated, and after
the performance a collection was made among the pas-
sengers and ship's company, which produced a sum of
2,100 fr. (841.)

circular:—" Monsieur and Venerable Confrere.—A rich

its member., wished; to meet with prierts who will under-
