PARIS, FRIDAY Evstrnra.

The Nation contains a sensation article by M.
Clmnier de Cassagnac on the offer made to the
Pope by Lord Russell, of an asylum in Malta.
We are told that the English minister is only seek-
ing to carry out the crafty design of England,
which is and "was in all time " to hold the
Papacy in a state of vassalage. A harrowing pic-
ture is drawn of the possibility of the " Pope in
person, his throne, his court, the archives of the
Vatican, the congregations, the religious orders, and
the bones of the martyrs," being all carried off to
Malta, and there sequestered under the guns of a
British fleet. It is for this that Lord Rumen
"got up an entente in London," and has been
working for four years with " more than
Machiavelian cunning." According to the
Nation the most astute and perfidious statesmen of
past ages, the clever Manirine, the firm Richelieu,
the haughty Choiseul, the audacious Pitt, were
"mere children in comparison to Lord RusselL"
The moral which the Nation draws from this
frightful disclosure is that the blind French jour-
nals, which have hitherto been unable to see the
wisdom of French policy in sticking fast by the
Pope, must have their eyes opened now that
England has made such a desperate attempt to
get hold of him. It does not seem to be well-
assured, after all, that the Pope may not some day
ask for British hospitality, as he himself (a fact
which the Nation conveniently suppresses)
spontaneously suggested to Mr. Odo Russell,
might possibly be the case. M. de Cassava°
thinks it apropos to warn him that he would ex-
change French protection under which he is free
for that perfidious hospitality which was tried by
Napoleon I. The Pope must be in a state of
war with us before the comparison can afford any
analogy.
The France says, on the subject of the Odo
Russell correspondence, which is evidently meant
to be played off as a great French card :

Thus it was oontemplated that the head of the catholic
religion should have been a refugee on English soiL Eng-
land would at one blow have set up Italian unity for her
own benefit, and have absorbed the papacy under the pro-
tection of her flag. We knew before that British ambit'.
Um knew no bounds, but we could have supposed it
capable of being led astray by such dreams. M. [hours
de Lhuys' despatch shows as how the honourable minister
did justice upon this strange pretension. He replied with
that exquisite raillery which diplom►tic gravity does not
exclude under certain circumstances.

The Bourse seems to have recovered from the
effect of the augmentation of the rate of discount.
Rente rose lOc., Mobilier 7fr. 50c., and the Italian
Loan lOc. Railways were generally lir. or 2fr.
higher.
The subscription for the distressed cotton work-
men so far from being checked by the announce-
ment of a large government grant, seems to be
stimulated by it, and though the sum total is still
insignificant the receipts of the last two or three
days are comparatively large. The Archbishop of
Paris has ordered a general collection in the churches
on Sunday next.
M. de Persigny continues to challenge the notice
of foreigners (to whom we are told by many syco-
phants the imperial speech is addressed as much as
to Frenchmen) by peurile measures of severity
towards the press. The Moniteur of this morning
publishes a warning to an obscure review, Ls
Revue Nationale, for an article several days old,
which is described as " seeking to trouble the
public peace and to discredit the Emperor's govern-
ment." This is the first I have heard of the article,
and it is a fair presumption that the general publics
cannot have been much moved by a publication.
which has for a whole week escaped the notice of a
professional correspondent. Not having read the
article, I cannot, of course, affirm that it
contains nothing inconsistent with the liberty ex-
pressly recognised and greatly vaunted both by M.
do Persigny long ago, and by the " Exposition of
the state of the Empire" just presented to the
chambers, of saying any " thing nct hostile to the
dynasty or the constitution." But it is quite cer-
tain that M. de Persigny forgot this definition
when he visited the Temps with a warning for its
inoffensive article three days ago.
The semi-official journals continue to boast of
the unanimous and unqualified admiration of the
English press for the Emperor's speech, and, at the
same time, Count Treilliard's agents continue to
confiscate the Daily New. I have nut seen it all
this week.

According to the Augsburg Gaut*, the Venetian
Committee, which had not been heard of for a long time,
has just gives sips of life. The committee is said to have
invited the Veastians to abstain from mailing the theatres
and other places of amassment during the Carnival. The
Gazette states that the police have obtained traces of the
committee, and have arrested several members.

The ex-Queen of Naples has returned the follow-
ing reply to an eddrees of the ladies of her mart, preowned
shortly before her return from Aupbarg to Munich:—
" Augsburg, January 4, Convent of Ursula. Iduliss,—.
Once more the evidence of your fidelity and your devotion
comes to solace my exile. I gratefully accept the wishes
you express for the rwestabliahment of my health. Placiog
all m► trust in the Divine Goodness I await the moment
which may rester* me to my husband and enable me to
partake his misfortunes and his hopes. Receive, ladies, th

Mr. James, Q.C., and Dr. siilii.7p;;;;lro;.the dean-

late of Hops Villa, Cassontim7, Isliagton. Mr. Keane and
Mr. Waddy were counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Abel Will-
cock, of Toronto, Canada, one of the brothers of the da-
mmed, who disputed its validity on the ground of undue
execution, want of capacity, and undue influence.
The testator died oo the 20th of February last, at theme
of 53. He had originally been a working carpenter, but in
1336, when • widower, he married the daughter of Mr.
Dutboit, • gentleman who occupied a prominent position in
the Bank of England. He was several years older than
her. Mr. Duthoit had eleven children, but the testator's
wile received from him at various times • fortune
amounting to about 1,7001. With this the deceased
went into business' and succeeded in amassing a
considerable property. He built several houses io Canon-
bury and Islington and though his estate was heavily mort-
gaged, it was stated to be worth about 6001. • year. He left
no children. In February, 1862, be became dangerously ill,
and at the suggestion of his medical attendant, Mr. Tart,
Mss. Willcock spoke to him about his property. He told her—
such was the case for the defendants—that be wished
her to bare it for her life, and his two brothers in Canada
to have something up to her death. A friend or the de-
ceased, Mr. Hodges, happening to be in the house on some
besisess, be said that Mr. Hodges might be executor.
Mr. Hodges being spoken to, refused to act
in that capacity, alleging that he held mortgages
over • great deal of the property. The deceased
then stated that his wife should be the executrix, but
remarked that as she would require tome one to assist her,
be would join her brother, Mr. Thomas Duthoit, who had
held • situation i• the beak for 49 years, in the
administration of his affairs. Mr. J. Dutboit was accordingly
sent for, but he said he would not act if there were to be
any life interests. Mrs. Duthoit then went and conferred
with her knabsocl, and brought word that he had °De-
moted to abandon that portion of his intentions. The in-
strument as finally settled pre to Mrs. Duthoit the sum
of 100/., to the testator's sister am annuity of 201.,
to his two brothers in Canada 501. sack, and to the children
of • third brother 50/., the widow fakirs, the residue. This
document was executed late on the night of the 19th of
February, and the deceased died between 2 and 3 o'clock
the next morning. It was attested by Mr. Johnstone, •
tenant, and Rebecca Duthoit, sister of the widow. The effect
of the testators disease was to induce • comatose con-
dition, but it was sworn by the widow, and by Mr. and
MisePutboit, that he was capable of being aroused, end
that be was conscious of the nature of the act he was
performing. Brandy and water was twice given
to hint while the will was reed over, sod be
was asked if it expressed his wishes. He said it did,
and Mr. Dutboit said, ' Will you sign it" He answered,
"If I ean—l can't." Mr. Johnstone asked if he would like
to sign it, and be said, " Yes." He was then raised up, •
pea was put in his hand, and Mr. Johnstone guided it.
Mr. Johnstone, who was examined for the plaintiff, said
that Doody and water had been twice given the deceased
while the will was read. Witness then asked him whether
he would sign it ? He did not reply. Mrs. Willoock then said
ft was word for word what had been settled in the morning,
and witness asked him again whether he should assist him
to sign. He did not storms any dissent, and witoess
guided his bend. It was difscult for witness to give
as opinion as to the capacity of the deceased,
but he thought that Mr. Duthoit was • solicitor,
and he bad therefore assumed that everything
had been done in 'regular manner. After the alining, witness
asked the demand if he had doss what be wished,- and wit-
ness believed that be said " Yes," but be spoke in • scarcely
audible voice. Witness avowed that he was very anxious on
the point, fur he felt that he had gone to the very verge of
gavel? is had
he
that on thes. facts of the case as a.-
tailed in the evidence. the will in dispute had not been
shown to be the will of the testator, and claimed the
judgment of the court for the plaintiff.
Mr. Jame, replied
Sir C. Cromwell said that the case was no doubt of great
importance. On the one hand, it was no doubt highly de-
sirable that the utmost effect should be given to the power
of moribund persons to dispose of their property.
Cases had been known in which testators between
80 and 90 years of age, had been perfeocly able to make
wills within an hoer of their death ; but the power vaned
very greatly in different persons. In the present cane
the court was satisfied that whatever might have
been the competency of the deceased, the will
itself bad not been drawn in conformity with the instruc-
tion, be had given. He (sir C. Creswell) must, therefore, '
personate against the will, and condemn the defendants in
UM costs.

Messrs. Mercer and Evans's High Brook Col-
liery, situated in Park-hue, Ashton, near Wigan, seems
fated to cause its proprietors a very serious loss. It is
only a short time ago moos the coal in one of the
seams worked at the colliery was set on fire by
the firing of a shot, and it was found impossible to
check the destruction of property till a few weeks
ago. Coal getting has not been commenced more than a fort-
night, and the pit was just getting into working order when
another accident, one not likely to check the labours of the
men employed for very long, but one which will cause con.
siderable lose to the proprietor, has occurred. On Thursday
morning the usual number of hands, between fifty and
sixty, accompanied by several labourers, making the total
number about sixty, descended se usual to commence work
in the five-foot mine. They had not been at work long
when one of the joints at the crank end of the piston gave
way, when the engine was winding. Fortunately neither
men nor coal were in the cages at the time, and thus,
though the rope was immediately uncoiled from the drum
and the descending cage precipitated to the bottom, no
serious injury was done. A new casting was, of course,
requisite, and this was obtained in the course of the day, a
sma,l windlass being fitted up and the men supplied with pro-
visions. AU preparations having been made to bring the men
out of the shaft, an attempt was made to start the engine,
when it was discovered that the first fracture had caused a
mooed and much more serious one, the piston being broken,
sad a new one rendered necessary. Immediate orders were
given for the making of this, and the men were informed
they would have to bear their imprisonment a little longer.
The piston was expected at the colliery last night (Friday),
when the wives and children of the men, who, as may be
supposed, have been somewhat anxious, hope again to see
their husbands and fathers. The men appear to bear their
captivity very well; and, indeed, it would be singular if they
did not, for Mr. Mercer has not only been unremitting in his
exertions to forward the repair of the engine, but, with his
customary liberality, has sent provisions in abundance
down the shaft, as well as tobacco, newspapers, and many
little things which he Unlike may make the men contented,
On Thursday evening the imprisoned held a small concert,
and one of the missives to the world above informed those
waiting that Jim Derbyshire had just given "The Lively
Flea." The pit is between 250 and 300 yards deep, and we
understand it would have been polable to erect an apparatus
by which the men could have been raised somewhat earlier
than they will be at present, but se some little risk attends
the plan, and as many at them immured are boys whose
carefulness could not be depended upon, Mr. Komar wisely
decided to wait the replaces, of the pines.

THE MURDER BY FOREIGN SAILORS IN RAT-
CLIFP•HIGHWAY.-DEATH OF THE VICTIM.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

This morning information was forwarded to Mr.
Humphreys, the East Middlesex coroner,of the death in the
London Hospital of Miehael Clinton, • seaman belonging to
the ship Meridian, of New York, who was stabbed on the
6th instant, in New-road near Ratetiff-highway. Clinton,
it will be recollected, was returning with some shipmates
from a dancing-room at the White Bear public-house, whoa
several foreign sailors after veinly endeavouring to fix •
quarrel upon one of them, plunged a knife into deceased's
back apparently without any provocation whatever. The
unfortunate man was conveyed instantly to the hospital,
where Mr. Jackson, the housesurgeon, at once pronounced
his case hopeless, and it was quite to the surprw of hie
medical attendants that he lingered so long. ins-
pected men are in custody, bat Clinics was viable toidentify
any of them as the man that actually struck the fatal blow.
and the police state their apprehension that the deceased's
comrades have been bribed and sent oat of the way, to pre-
vent their giving evidence on the point. It is • somewhat
singular circumstance that • Peruvian, • Greek, and an
Italian should be in custody charged with murdering, in
London, an Irishman belonginggto an American ship, and
that the witcheries of the occurrence are believed to be on
their way to Australia, cheating, it is said, • Yankee skipper
out of 30 dollars per man.

WESTMLNSTER.
ascrrynco STOUR GOODB OF CRILDREL
John Knight, a chandler's-shopkeeper, in Old Pyentreet,
Westminster, was charged with felootosiely receiving a
goose, which had bests stolen oo Friday afternoon.
Mr. Arthur Martin, poulterer, 5, Lower Eaton-street,
Pimlico, said that at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon he missed
a goose from the board outside his shop. The goose now
produced resembled the one he had lost.
Mr. Paynter Inquired what evidence there was of the
stealing the goose.
The police replied that there were two boys in custody
who were taken on Friday afternoon, and remanded until
Friday for the :elope. In the course of their examination,
it was proved that they had taken the goose to the prisocer's
chop in Old Pye-street, upon which a warrant was nted
to search his house, which resulted in the p s being
taken into custody.
John Harffeet, 36 B. said he went with the warrant het
night to the prisoner's house. and having stated the ob-
ject of his visit, prisoner and he might search, he had
got no goose there. His wife then moved hastily
from the shop into the parlour, but witness followed
her. She then wont into the coal-cellar and closed the
door, bet witness still followed bur, and foetid the goose,
which was hanging op in a very obecure place. On the way
to the station the prisoner said he had bought the goose
that day for 41. He subsequently stated that he heal bought
it for td. per pound.
Mt. E. Lewis, solicitor, said that prisoner bad been out
all day and knew nothing about the goose.
Mr. Paynter remanded prisoner till Friday. On bail
being satiated for the prisoner, Mr. Paynter inquired his
character.
Michael* John Thoni, a detective, said that the prisoner
and his wife had been long known to the polies as eaten-
Ons miniver, of stolen goods from children. The place was
being daily visited by jovenile thieves, who disposed of their
booty there. A constant watch wee kept opal him by the
police, but prisoner managed his business so adroitly that
the officers could not detect him.
Prisoner was remanded and bail refused.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A BURGLARY IPILEYRATRD.
Two rough-looking fellows, named Joseph Neal and
ItiAert Wilton, were charge i before Mr. Hoot as follows:
Henry Bartlett, 142 F, said that about 1 that mantis;
he wan in lludlisy-staest, and observed the two pm-
loners standing in a doorway, and then leave it
and point towards him. The prisoners then west
into a public-house at the corner of Tower-street,
and walked through different streets and back to Dudley-
street, when they again placed themselves in the doorway
in which he had observed them before. He then went op to
Them. and raked why they were loitering about the street,
and Wilma said they wanted to go into old Mace's, a
public-house, to have something to drink. He told the
prisoners the persons in the house had all gone to bed.
and that they could go to another home if they wanted any
thing to drink. Feeling satisfied what their object was be

Sinuous DAY.)—Abont half-past 4
o'clock this morning a fire broke out on the premises belong-
ing to Mr. Win. East, • carpenter and blind maker, No. 9,
St. Antes-court, Soho. The whole of the inmates were in
their beds, and wens not sensible of their danger until the
flames had travelled from the basement completely round
the shop over head, and the fire was rapidly ascending the
staircase, thereby cutting off all means of the inmates
escaping in the regular way. The inmates of the upper part
of the house put their children out of window into the
gutter running along the gable roof, but were unable to do
more. The escapes having arrived, the whole of the resi-
dents were enabled to effect • safe retreat, but nearly
stifled by the dense and heated smoke. The flames were
not extinguished until • large amount of property was de-
stroyed and the building extensively burned. The loss will
fall upon the Union and Royal Fire-offices. Conductor
Clark, who was assisted by Robinson, both of the Royal
Society, succeeded in bringing • man and woman and
three children from the roof across the next house.
A destructive fire happened in the premises of Mr. Pinch,
an upholsterer, 9, Gibraltar-walk, Bethnal-green. The
workshop was nearly destroyed, but fortunately the front
dwelling was saved. Cause unknown. The lose will fall upon
the Sun Fire-office. An alarming lire also took place in the
premises belonging to Mr. Robinson, bread and biscuit
baker, No. 7, Britton-terrace, King's-rued, West Chelsea. It
was caused by some one going with • lighted candle under the
stain, where a large quantity of shavings were stored for
lighting the oven. At one time it was feared that
the whole of the inmates in the upper part of the building
would be burned to death ; but they were all rescued. A
great amount of damage was done. The property of Mr. L.
G. Vedey, tobacconist and newsagent, No. 7, Britannia-ter-
race, was damaged by hasty removal. Insurances unknown.
A serious fire also occurred on the premises belonging to
Messrs. R. Bell and Co., patent wax light and
lucifer-match manufactory, Southaitreet, Wandsworth.
It appears that it wee caused by the friction of some
of the composition used in " tipping " the matches,
and owing to their combustible nature, the building was
soon in flames from end to end. The flames were happily
confined to the building is which they commenced—not more
than forty feet long. No one was irjtired ; and the
business out be carried on as hitherto. The property was
uninsured.

A letter from Berlin ear :—" At the Circus
Carrf, in Friedrichs Straus, on Monday evening, a phe-
nomenon was witnessed of a character which is very rare in
Germany. It was the debut of the • world•renowned
English boxers, Alen Keene and Jerry Noon'—the latter of
whom the German public is informed is ' the only man in
the ' profession' who has never been beaten.' The house was
crowded to excess to witness the • display of science.' "

ment has put three steamers, built for the purpose, at its
disposition. One of them can be taken to pieces, in case of
waterfalls being in the way of the expedition. The steam-
boats, one of which is • screw, have all fiat bottoms, end
when laden draw only 3i feet of water. Captain Magoon
intends erecting stations at the Niger delta, viz., at Hari-
mane, at Tombuktn and Bamako. From the latter places,
caravans are to be despatched regularly to Algiers aod Sene-

lished on the Niger.
A MAN KILL= IN TIM Nrw DRAINAOI Woes.
—(T1118 Dar.)—Christopher Goodwin, 31, a workman in
the employ of Masers. Brassey, the oontructon for the main
drainage, wee killed this morning while engaged in the cut-
ting immediately opposite the police-station io Old-street, St.
Luke's. The unfortunate mat was nearly 40 feet below the
surface securing the "shoring up," and another workman,
named Joseph Forster, was at the top of the cut-
ting sawing off and enpplying him with wedges of

were flung down with the usual caution,
but it is supposed that, in consequence of the noise made by
the engine at work, the voice wee not heard, and one of the
pieces struck him on the head. There was an instant alum
from below, and the body was quickly removed to the sur-
face. Mr. Roger., a surgeon. was instantly in attendance,
but life was extinct, the back of the skull being entirely
smashed in. Goodwin, who bred in Son-street, Oldetreet-
road, has left a wife and three children quite destitute by
this lamentable occurrence. The body now lies at St.
Lake's workhouse.

THE LICENSING SYSTEM.—A public meeting of
an extraordinary character war held on Thoradey night at
Portsmouth, to consider the desirability of closing beer-
shops sad public-houses on a Sunday. There were neerly
2,000 persons present. The platform was occupied by
church of England and dissenting ministers and iuflueotial
inhabitants, while the body of the hell was filled with arti-
ness. The mayor presided, and begged that all speakers
should have a fair hearing. The Rev. J. Steward proposed
a resolution to close beer and spirit houses altogether on •
Sunday, save to bout fide travellers, believing that it
would prevent much of the desecration and crime now
committed on the Sabbath. The rev. gentleman, and
those who spoke in support of the amendment, wen
received with hoots, yells, and groans, and the audience
sang We won't go home till morning," and " Rule
Britannia." Rev. J. Smith seconded the resolution, but
the people would scarcely bear a word be had to say.
Mr. Walker proposed an amendment to the effect that
the present laws rehabs' to public-houses were mite-
ciently stringent, and that soy further atternot to close
public-houses would be an infringement on the pri
vileges of the people. (Cheery, poses, and hisses.) Kr.
J. Sheppard seconded the amendment, Several speakers
followed. and it was thought that if the poor man was to
be &prised of Ids Sundays beer the rich man should give
up his wine. If the public and besrbounes were shut, the
hotels and alsieheuess ought to be closed. After the pro-
ceediop had lasted more than three hours, during which
period the scene was altogether riotous, the mayor put the
amendment, which wee carried by • narrow majority, and
the prooeediep terminated.
The amount of money to be paid into the United
States Treasury for exempthie from military duty, by the
=Fs of Indiana, it is said' will amount to about 253,0()

We have received a copy of the prospectus of the
Anglo-Parisian Brewery Company (limited). This
company is constituted in a much more respectable
manner than is usual in undertakings of a miscel-
laneous nature. The magnitude of the consump-
tion of Bavarian," or " Leger" beer—the Artie,' k
which this company intends to manufacture—and
the strong preference for it testified by the inhabitants
of the French metropolis, are notorious. It is a pecu-
liarity of the present undertaking that the company
is to come into possession of au established brewery
situated about one mile from Paris, the present
proprietor of which is retiring, having accumulated
a fortune. The trade now in progress is thus to be
continued without any interruption, and the vendor
has agreed to take a portion of the purchase-money
in paid-up shares. 'f be capital is 200,000/. in 201.
shares, but in the first instance only one half of the
capital is to be issued.
The first ordinary general meeting of the share-
holders of the Alliance flank of Loudon and Liver-
pool will be held in London on the 6th February.
The annual meeting of the National Freehold
Land Society is called for the 6th February.
