CIVIS LONDINENSIS SUM.

Ant—" Uncle Ned."
I once knew the comfort of sleeping still a-bed,
But that's all gone—long ago ;
And now I lie with burglars and murders in my head,
Till all of a tremble I grow.
So it's get out your six-shooter, oh! oh ! oh!
Double-lock above and below,

For there's no more peace till they send all the scamps
To the place where the scamps ought to go.

Mr. Hill, he may talk as long as tongue may wag,
But anyone with eyes for to see
Knows that after all his care the rascals to repair

He'll have to let the rascals be.
So it's blunderbusses, pistols, and sticks, oh ! oh !
Don't stir out after seven ! or so--
If you do you'll be robbed, for they send no more
The scamps where the scamps ought to go.

We pay borough rates, and we pay lamp rates,
And a rate for the protective police;
But the lamps won't light, and the force in the night
Just leave you to be choked in pence.
But we've infernal machines let 'em know, know, know,
And they're set in every house down the row;
If the Government don't—why we'll send them ourselves
To the place where such scamps ought to go.

One cold frosty midnight we thought we should have died,
There were noises like smashing of a pane;
And next morning we found " 'twas the ticket o' leave
A tryin' of the next door again."
I've made my will long ago, ago,
And my mind up to foreign parts to go ;
For I'd sooner cross the sea, and be a Carribbee,
Than be frightened into fits—l know !

THE PRESS.

Redpath, the man charged with the extensive frauds
upon the Great Northern Railway Company, has been ad-
judicated a bankrupt. The clerk Kent is found to be further
implicated than was supposed in the first instance. Mean-
while the directors and auditors have had the laxity of
their proceedings severely castigated; and they must
expect to meet with a good deal of honest indignation
from the sha-eholders at the next half-yearly meeting.
The Trade Reports of the week are written in a more
cheerful tone ; but complaints of dear money and of the
difficulty of effecting sales at remunerative prices are still
heard, particularly from Lancashire and Yorkshire. The
working of short time is still going on ; and at the last
market day in Manchester it was openly proposed that the
spitem should be extended, not merely with a view to ro•
clueing production, but to compel the holders of raw
cotton to abate their demands, and to force the great
buyers of goods, especially for foreign markets, to pay more
emunerative prices. This subject is creating quite a little
agitation in Manchester.

or mils would he necessary to exchange them. It is
the first essential of every coinage that each piece
should be readily exchangeable with all other pieces.
The present farthing, halfpenny, and penny, might
conveniently subsist to represent respectively one mil,
two mils, and four mils; but it would be highly ex-
pedient to nave coins representing five mils, or half
a cent (lid.), ten mils, or a cent (20.), and twenty
mils, or two cents (5d.). The shilling would then
represent fifty mils, or two and a half cents, and the
florin a hundred inils or jive cents. It is to the
practical question of detail that the advocates of a
lecimal coinage should now address themselves.
The chief difficulties are, the slight difference that
would exist between the penny and proposed half-
cent were both of the same metal, copper; the small
size of the proposed cent, were it to be of silver ;
and the substitution by cent pieces and two cent
pieces (with the existing florin) for the present silver
threepence, fourpence, sixpence, and half-crown.
The simplest plan would seem to be to preserve
copper, silver, and gold for coins, making the five-
mil piece or half-cent of copper of an entirely dif-
ferent character from the existing penny, and form.
ing the cent piece of silver, which would then be
very slightly different from the existing threepence.
The new coinage, as compared with the present,
would then be :

THE PREMIER TO MR. MOORE.

Lord Palmerston presents his compliments to Mr. Moore, and
suggests to him that the inquiry contained in his note is rather a
matter for the Foreign-office than for Lord Palmerston. At the same
time he would point out, for Mr. Moore's future guidance, that if he
is silly enough to take speeches, made for the English House of
Commons, as Handbooks of European travel, he is very likely to get
into worse places than a room with an old sofa, and without a washing-
bason. Lord Palmerston has refereed to the Latin phrase, on the
strength of which Mr. Moore involved himelf with the Berlin police,
and finds that it simply meant at the time that Don Pacifico must be
paid for Miss Pacifico's stockings, which had been destroyed by the
Greeks. Mr. Moore, in trying to insert his own leg into that young
lady's stocking, has evidently put his foot in it.

MR MOORE TO THE PREMIER.
Stifling the indignation with which I boil, I ask you, Lord Pal-
merston, in the calmest mannr, whether this is all the reparation I
am to receive for an outrage unparalleled in ancient or modern
history ?

PRUSSIA AND NEUFCHATEL.

The statement that a strong corps d'armee of the
Prussian army was en route for Neufchatel is untrue.
The Prussian Government had simply applied to the
Germanic Diet, anti the Diet has reported that the
Governments of the German Confederation shoed
support the demand of Prussia for the liberation of
the royalist prisoners, and energetically to second
the steps Pruss►a purposes to effect that object. To
this proposal the Federal Council has unanimously
refused to comply. The Council declares, moreover,
that it is ready to negotiate, and that it is willing to
re-open the relations of friendship and good neigh-
bourhood with Prussia, but that justice must take
its free coutse with regard to the prisoners from
Neufchatel.

The Bourse Gazette of Berlin of the 21st has the
following statement with reference to a renewal of
the Conferences :

The Prussian Ambasssdor at Vienna has informed th•
Government here that Austria has withdrawn her opposi-
tion to the assembling of a second Congress at Paris. The
Cabinet of St. James having also declared in favour of
the meeting, the second Congress will be opened at the
latest about the middle of December. Austria is agreed
with the other powers as to the propriety of settling the
various difficulties now pending, such as the Neufchatel
question, in the said Congress, besides the points resulting
from the treaty of the 30th of March.

reinforcement of 12,000 men. Le Nord asserts the
right of occupation because the congress at Paris
forgot to decide whether the Isle of Serpents be-
longed to the delta of the Danube or not, and that
it is requisite for Russia to have a Russian port on
the island via a-vie to the Turkish one. The con-
tinued occupation of Kars Le Nord excuses on the
plea that the Turks, according to treaty, have not
yet evacuated the coast of Abasia.

THE PRESS.

body of the National Guards, who arrived to reinforce
the insurgents, were arrested at the gate. The firing
of cannon from the forts and batteries became in-
cessant. One of the disturbed streets above our
hotel in the Rambla was carried by the troops, with
very great loss on each side. Soon after midday the
Calle del Union was also carried, and, shortly after
that, after one hour's most vigorous bombardment,
the trumpet sounded for a charge, and the
troops, with a cheer, jumped over their de-
fences into the Calle Nueva, immediately opposite
the hotel; the first three men were shot down on
entering it. The charge was successful, and the
street was most bravely carried, with considerable loss.
All the town now fell in the hands of the troops. A
large body of the insurgents fled to the walls; they
were pursued by the Lancers, who overtook them at
Gracias, one mile up the Rambla, and speared at
least 200 of them, During the night the southern
fort continued to fire upon the retreating insurgents.
It was, of course, hard to obtain any correct estimate
at present of the numbers killed and wounded, but I
have good authority for saying that twenty-five
officers were killed. The troops behave,' admirably.
In one regiment the three senior officers were killed,
and the insurgents throughout fought most vigorously.
Probably not less than 1,000 on both sides were
killed, and an English resident informed me that he
saw fifty thrown into one grave on the Tuesday
morning. Certainly the killed and wounded must
amount to 2,000; the whole of Tuesday was occupied
in the burial of the dead. The British Vice-Consul,
who had the misfortune to live in the Calle del
Union, having been confined to his house without
food, escaped over the roofs of the houses, not with-
out considerable danger of being shot by the fire of
the insurgents, and took refuge at an adjoining
hotel.

Another account in the Daily News, written on the
23rd, by one of the Liberal party, attributes the loss
of the day to want of concert among the party, the
hesitation of the Junta to pronounce, the premature
erection of barricades, and, above all, the astuteness
of Zapatero, the Captain-General, who, on the first
symptoms, shot all persons arrested, and thus com-
promised the troops in the eyes of the Liberals, and
excited a thirst for revenge. The writer con-
cludes :

This is our present position. The soldiers of
liberty, who would have been able for some time
longer to continue the struggle at Barcelona, have
retreated to the country. Mataro, Manresa, Villa-
franca, Igualada, almost all the towns of importance,
are with us. In all the peublos of the environs—
Badaloni, Molins del Rey, San Andrea, &c.—we
have none but friends. General —, who re-
signed at Madrid, is expected every moment to take
the direction of the movement in Catalonia, and to
open communications with Arragon.
We have news from Tarragona, where the instruc-
tions of the Junta were completely obeyed. After
the demonPtration, the troops not having adopted
the movement, all struggle ceased, expecting the
time when the triumph shall have been organised
throughout.

Manin of impolicy in accepting the King of Sardinia
as the hope of Italy. He points to Charles Albert's
conduct at; a justification of distrust of all kings,
and says that Sardinia is too much bound up with
England and Franco to be really useful to the Italian
cause :

Do you imagine that King Victor Emanuel will sud-
denly take the field, pass the Ticino and the Magra, com-
mand various other sovereigns of Italy to give place, and,
fronting excommunication and the arms of his imperial
ally, desire the Pope to yield up his temporal sovereignty?
Do you imagine that, making himself a leader of insurrec-
tion and overthrower of territorial equilibrium and the
rights of governmental Europe, he will throw down the
gauntlet to the entire league of the kings? You, were you
king, would not do it. Where I king, I would descend
from my throne, and, making of myself a simple citizen,
freed from every link or bond with European monarchy, I
would say to the soldiers and the citizens—" Follow me."

tone, and what influenced the decision of the
Cabinet, but the firm attitude of the Conser-
vative party?
The Liberal party—ter it is a party still—
are content to point to their possession of
place as a decisive ONO!' of their Iliponenis'
weakness. But it cannot be denied that they
retain place only by submitting to Conserva-
tive dictation, and bj, dropping the ati-
tinctive characteristics of Liberal policy. The
Premier himself declares that he is a Con-
servative, but a Conservative at the head of a
Liberal connection He sit) s to the Opposition—
You shall enjoy your principles under my
administration, but Shall have neither place
nor patronage ; and to the Liberal party—You
shall enjoy place and patronage, but you must
net pretend to principles.
This division of office from power, and of
place from principle, is not new in our
political history. It has often occurred before,
but it has never lasted long. Sir ROBERT
PEEL twice tried the experiment of ruling on
Liberal principles by a Conservative majority,
and signally failed. We venture to predict
that Lord PALMERSTON will not be more suc-
cessful in attempting to govern on Conserva-
tive principles by a Liberal majority.
Parties may, in certain political conjunc-
tures, be extremely confused, without being
extinct or even materially weakened. Such is
the case at this moment. The lines which
separate the great natural boundaries apolitical
opinion are not effaced. In every free country
there always has been, and always must be,
two great parties—•the one desirous to upheld
and strengthen established institutions ; the
other seeking to change them, even to their
overthrow. A distinctioli which subsists in
the nature of man and the constitution of
society is not to be effaced by the juggles of
placemen or the declamation of journalists.

THE MAYNOOTH AGITATION.

WE have reason to feel flattered at the atten-
tion which our remarks on the May nooth
agitation have received. It is true that our
views have been roughly assailed by
journals which still hold the principle of
Protestant ascendancy ; but we desire nothing
inure than that the question at issue shall be
fairly argued. If we do not reply individually
to the contempo►aries who have done us the
honour to comment on our articles, it is
because the space at our disposal will not allow
us to do so, and because also we think the
subject can be most advantageously discussed
by a broader style of treatment than such
a method would allow of. On the present
occasion we propose to direct attention to
the practical aspect of this embarrassing
question.

Those persons who are agitating for a repeal
of the existing statute endowing the College
of Maynooth, are bound to state frankly what
their intentions are. Do they merely desire
to reduce that institution to the state in which
it existed prior to the Maynooth Bill of 1845 ?
Or do they desire the entire abolition of all
assistance by the State towards the education
of the Roman Catholic priesthood ? If the
former, they would but restore the question to
that most unsatisfactory state of annual agita-
tion which it was the main object of Sir
ROBERT PEELS Bill to terminate. If the
latter, the important question will be raised
whether the Act of Union would not be vio-
lated by the withdrawal of that endowment,
which was founded by the Irish Parliament in
1795.

By merely reducing the amount of the
endowment, no principle would be gained ;
by abolishing the endowment altogether, a
grant which has subsisted fur sixty years—
which became ehargeable on the national
revenue by the Act of Union—and which has
been sanctioned by every Ministry of the

POSTSCRIPT.

The Moniteur of yesterday (Friday) contains the
following despatches :

St. Sebastian, July 31.
We learn from Perpignan and Irnn that the whole of
Catalonia has recognised the Queen's Government.
Navarre and the Basque Provinces are in a state of per•
feet tranquillity.

Madrid, July 31.
The Government is employed in nominating different
functionaries in the provinces.
The last strongholds of the rebellion—Malaga and
Granada in the south, and Te-uel in Aragon, have sub-
mitted, and acknowledged the legitimate Government.
From Saragossa, to which city the insurrection
is confined, the insurgents are deserting in very great
numbers.

A DOM/CENT of considerable importance as regards
Parma, showing the desires of both Government
and people there, has lately been partially published
by a Turin paper. It is a memorial emanating from
the citizens of Parma, and lately presented to the
Regent, with her consent, and with the consent of
her Ministers. Count Crenneville is said to have
requested to be furnished with two copies of it—one
of which he sent to Vienna, and one to Marshal
Radetsky. Tho memorial enters at great length into
the state of the Duchy, past and present, its history,
the law of succession of the Farnese Bourbons, the
late crimes, and many other details of government.
It ends by suggesting to the Duchess, as rentediee
for existing evils, Ist, to dismiss the present Director
of Police, confiding this delicate branch of the ser-
vice to a native of the country, cautious, temperate,
prudent, devoted to the Prince, and to the laws of
the State. To purge the police offices and dis-
band the mob of Guards, which has become hateful
to the whole nation. 3rd. To reorganise the army
(most important). 4th. To recal the Parmesan
prisoners from Mantua (they are already said to be
on their way back), to examine impartially into the
cases of those condemned, and submit the others
to a prompt and just trial. sth. To raise the state
of siege. 6th. To cause the withdrawal of the
Austrian troops. 7th. To repudiate resolutely the
Custom-house league. Bth. To convoke under the
Presidency of hi'. Royal Highness the Extraordi-
nary Council of State for secret deliberation on—
(a) the equity of the treaty of Florence of 1844
(which made a new adjustment of the territories of
the Duchies on the (demise of Maria Louisa) ; (b)
the affair of mines held by Baron Ward, &c. ;
(c) the reduction of certain pensions enjoyed by
favorites.

The West India and Pacific mails, with dates
from Vera Cruz to the sth July, and St. Thomas's to
the 17th, brings intelligence of the election of
Walker to the Presidency of Nicaragua and of a
revolution in Costa Rica. The West India islands
were healthy.

DR. LIVINGSTONE, the African traveller, now on a
j )urney of discovery on the eastern coast, arrived on
the 2nd March in good health from Angola at Tetto,
th s most advanced station of the Portuguese on the
eastern coast. Dr. Livingstone proposed to return
to Quillimaine after a short rest.

Her Majesty the Queen reviewed the troops at
Aldershott on Wednesday. Upwards of 19,000 men
were on the ground. The review passed off with
great eclat, but the old complaint was repeated
against General Knollys for keeping the public off
at such a distance that they can literally see nothing
of the review. One contemporary very justly ob-
Nerves that if the authorities require the whole side
of a country to review 20,000 men, what would he
their perplexity if they were called upon to handle
50,000 or 100,000 in Hyde-park or the Champ de
Mars? It is a great trial of temper and patience,
after travelling on an hot day such a distance to see a
review, and to see nothing of it after all. Lieutenant-
Colonel Mackenzie, 92nd Highlanders' has been
appointed master-general to the first division in
Ireland.

His Royal Highness the Commanding General-in-
Chief will hold a levee at one o'clock on Monday
next.

Major. General Michel, C. 13., late chief of the staff
in the Turkish Contingent, proceeds to the Cape in
command of a brigade.
The cavalry regiments at home will, it is reported,
have two troops each taken off their strength. They
were each increased to this extent during the Rus-
sian war.

A cavalry regiment will shortly be added to the
forces serving at the Cape.
Captain the Right Hon. Lord George Paulet, R.N.,
C. 8., has attained his flag on the active list by the
death of Admiral Glynn, and the removal of Admiral
Douglas to the reserved list of flag officers.
A detachment of fifty artillerymen, lately returned
from the Crimea, have been selected for service at
the Cape.
Brydell's tractive engine has been tested on several
occasions during the week at Woolwich in drawing a
heavy gun up and down steep acclivities and over
soft ground. The engine proved its superiority over
a team of twelve horses.

EVACUATION OF THE CRIMEA.

LORD PANMURE received on the 30th ult. the follow-
ing despatch from General Sir William Codrington,
K.C.B.

Constantinople, July 16, 1856.
My Lord,—Finding that all arrangements would
be completed for evacuating the Crimea on the 12th
instant, I wrote, the previous day, to the officer in
command of the Russian troops, a colonel of the
gendarmerie at Kamiesch, that I should he ready to
hand over the dockyard of Sebastopol and the port
of Balaklava on that day.
Her Majesty's ship Algiers had entered the port
of Balaklava on the 7th instant; the 56th Regiment
embarked in that ship on the evening of the 11th ;
the only troops remaining were one wing of the 50th
Regiment, which formed the guard of the town that
night.
The following day, the 12th, at one p.m., all the
remaining stores and establishments having been
embarked, a company of the 50th was posted outside
of the town to receive the Russian troops, and on
their approach marched in with the Russian guard,
composed of about fifty mounted Cossacks, and a
similar number of infantry Cossacks.
The usual form of salutes took place, the Russians
placed sentries where they wished, and the four
companies of the 50th marched on board the
Algiers. I embarked with my personal staff at the
same time.

Although the weather was unfavorable, we were
enabled to quit the harbour of Balaklava that
evening.
Admiral Sir H. Stewart and Admiral Freemantle
were at anchor outside the harbour ; they weighed,
and we all sailed for this place, where I arrived to-
day.

NOTTINGHAM.—The election took place on Wed-
nesday. Mr. Mills and Mr. Ernest Jones both
withdrew from the contest, and Mr. Paget was re-
turned.

DORBETSTURE.-Mr. Henry Gerard Start, late
member for Dorchester, was returned laet Saturday
as knight of the shire without opposition. Mr. Start,
in the course of his speech, said .

The time is not far distant when the great Conservative
party will again occupy that influential position to which
their principles so eminently entitle them. I shall con
tinue to fight under that banner. I was born and bred a
Conservative, and I hope I shall die a Conservative, be-
cause in my conscience I believe that the further develop -
ment of this policy will conduce to the welfare and pro-
sperity of all classes of the community.
GLAMORGANSHIRE.-Mr. N. E. Vaughan, of Rhevla,
has issued an address to the electors of the county
of Glamorgan as a Conservative candidate. Mr. H.
11. Vivian, now member for Truro, has also issued
an address to the electors of Glamorganshire on the
Liberal interest.

ITALY.

Intelligence from Turiu to the 25th, states that
the Austrian General Crenneville had made arrange-
ments for quitting Parma on the 22nd. The
Duchess-Regent, being resolved to support her Minis-
ter, intended to abolish the state of siege on the
anniversary of the birth of Duke Robert.
General Broglia, Sardinian Envoy to the Court of
Russia. had started for St. Petersburg.
At Naples the political trials continued. From
the evidence already given it would appear that the
accusations are founded only on the inventions of
the police. Great excitement reigns throughout
Italy, and apprehensions exist of a great revolu-
tionary movement.
At Rome a medal and a congratulatory address,
testifying the gratitude of the Romans to Count
Cavour for his bebavour at the Paris Congress, has
been delivered to the Sardinian Charges d'Affaires,
for transmission to Count Cavour.
AMERICA.
The usual mail, with dates to the 11th, brings no
intelligence of any moment. Mr. Buchanan, in his
election speech, said :

Gentlemen,—Two weeks since I should have made you
a longer speech, but now I have been placed upon a plat-
form which I most heartily approve, and that can speak
for me. Being the representative of the great Democratic
party, and not simply James Buchanan, I must square my
conduct according to the platform of that party, and insert
no new plank nor take one from it. That platform is suf•
ficiently broad and national for the whole Democratic party.
This glorious party now, more than ever, has demonstrated
that it is the true Conservative party of the constitution
and of the Union.
Fighting still continued in Kansas.
President Pierce, in a speech at Washington upon
the nomination of Mr. Buchanan, had said:—
It is cheering t) know that the action of the late conven-
tion places the statesmen and patriots who are to lead us
now upon the identical platform which I accepted, with
full conviction of my judgment and with every senti-
ment of my heart, and that they are to occupy it with
the standard lowered never an inch, so far as the strict
construction of the constitution and the vindication of the
constitutional rights of every portion of the Union are
concerned.

INDIA AND CHINA.
The usual telegraph from Trieste announces the
arrival of mails with advices from Calcutta to May
17 ; Bombay, ;27 ; Hong-Kong, 10; Shanghai, 2 ;
Manilla, 0.
Public works in India are stopped. The Santhals
are again quiet. An insurrection is on foot. There
is war at Vizagapatam.
The King of Onde has arrived at Calcutta.
