her an opportunity of seeing her husband, who was lying
dead at him lodgings. She considered she was entitled to do
so, hot was sot permited.

Applicant replied iii:ilTdreliOn Tuesday ; he bad goo.

Mr. Arnold inquired of whom applicant complained.

that I should not be permitted to go to the room he rented.

Ifr. Arnold—lt seems to be very cruel and unjust that
you should be domed the right, but It is a matter is which
I cannot help you. What do you suppose is the reason for

is mail on the 19th ult., and was repeated daring the follow-

had flocked to the metropolitan rhumb, and about half•past
nips a bell was rang to announce the hquefactioa of the
blood. At the same moment a flag was hoisted on of of
the towers of the cathedral, a salute fired from the
forts, and all the bells In the city set ringing.
Thomas& of persona hired the reliquary during
the day. The following is the prods-verbal of the event,
signed by Chevalier Garitecioli, the guardian, and Francoloo
Dattili, his tosistant :—" Oa Saturday (19th September)

mewed, the blood became detached from the sides, and
remained so till evening. It was remarked that its colour
was rather dark. The nut day the blood was in the same
state as when the reliquary was opened on the preceding
day. Fifteen minutes elapsed before the miracle, and then
the blood liquefied as before, and continued so all day.
Towards evening it was observed to become rather frothy.

PARIS, Ocr. &

The Emperor and the Imperial Prince arrived
on Sunday evening at Bordeaux, where they re-
mained yesterday. They are expected in Paris to-
day.
The Coutitutionne/ of to-day, in an article signed
by M. Lit:oars; contemns the exaggerations of MM.
Gudroult and Emile do Girardin, and says :—" The
imperial policy knows how to ally prudence with firm-
ness. It is incorrect to say France is responsible for
the blood shed in Poland. The Polish question has
entered a new phase in consequence of the decla-
ration of Earl Russell concerning the treaties of
1815. Upon this new ground France will do her
duty, as she bas done in the recent negotiations,
and will not give way to passionate excitement.
Conservative France has no more to fear an
adventurous war under the negotiator of the
peace of Villafranca, than liberal France has
to fear a compromising peace under the conqueror
of Solferino."

THE MEXICANS AND THE AUSTRIAN

ARCHDUKE.

The Paris Nation, though a very decided impe-
rialist journal, is one of those friends of the empire
which thinks the dynasty has everything to lose by
waging remote wars for Quixotio purposes. It
therefore throws ridicule upon the address pre-
sented to the Archduke Maximilian by the deputa-
tion from Marshal Forey's notables. These are its
observations :

The finger of God, moreover, has pointed out the arch-
duke to the unanimous choke of a whole nation, and the
prince cannot refuse the crown offered to him spontane-
ously, and with so much enthusiasm, without thwarting
the dodo' of Providence. From the moment that M. de
Estrada is in the Divine confidence, and that Provides°e
has declared itself so dearly, it would be bad grace for us
to cavil in such a matter, and we could not even, with-
out impiety, ask— . . .

"Par qu els secrets remade, par quill miebalnement
Le del "441 ooaduit ce grand evenement ?"
The archduke, however, without protesting against the de-
crees of Heav-e, required, in order to submit to them,
the approbation of hie august brother. He has obtained
it, but still feels mate scruples. In hi reply the follow-
ing phreee will be remarked, in which he lays down his
conditions and make' his narrations :

"The monarchy is that country cannot be estakdiabsd oe
solid and legitimate bases until the whole nation shall have
confirmed, by a free manifestation of its will, the wishes
of the capital. On the result of the whole country. I most
therefore maks my acceptance of the offered throne
depend.'
ln ahoti, there ar• many more "ifs" and "buta" in this pru-
dent reply ; and the archduke, is spite of the affirmations of
M. de Estrada, does not appear to be yet quite convinced that
Providence destines him for the empire of Mexico. We
shall see whether the eloquence of the &patellae will wo-
oled in removing these last doubts of as Maud cos-
@plower.

GENERAL BURNSIDE'S POSITION.

NEW YORK, Ear. 28, NOON.

General Burnside has reached a point where he is
expected to prevent a flank movement by the Con-
federates.

Reports from Nashville assert that General Rose-
craw' position is more favourable than is believed
at the North.

General Meade's army is moving. Transports
are loading at Alexandria. Their destination is a
matter of conjecture. _ _ .

An important Federal movement is also taking
place on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road.

The Everting Post believes that the reinforoe-

IMPORTANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

In the Express of last evening it was reported
that the Southport lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Insti-
tution had been instrinneutal on Sunday last in rescuing
from the ship St. Lawrence, of Liverpool, which was
stranded on the Boathouse Sandbank, off the mouth of the
liver Ribble, in a gale and heavy sea, the captain's wife sod
child and 12 of the crew—the captain and three other men
refusing to leave the vessel ; and that the Lytham
lifeboat, which also belongs to the National In-
stitution, had gone off with the view of saving the
four men. It appears that the Lytham lifeboat, after a hard
pull, succeeded in reaching the stranded vessel ; but the
captain and those with him still remaining firm in their
determination not to quit the ship, the lifeboat returned
to the shore. On the following morning, however, a
signal of distress was seen flying trom the ship, and the
Lytham lifeboat was spin sent out, when it was found
that the vessel was a derelict, the remaining four men
having left her in their own boat. It was still blowing
• gale of wind, and es the vessel had eight feet of water in
bee bold she woe, of course, nearly uunianagrable, but the
mew of the lifeboat determined to make en effort to save
the ship, and they have since been fortunately successful is
bringing her safely into port. The barque would unques-
tionably have been totally lost had she remained on the
bank another night. The lifeboat behaved very well on
both occasions of her going afloat

low for not supporting his wife, who bad in consequence
become chargeable to the West Landes Union.

mother and daughter, to prove that they saw a man named
Condeu on the bed with Bridget Conway, the defendant's
wife, in such &position es left no doubt that adulterous in-
tercourse was beingearriedon between them. Other witnesses
were examined to corroborate some of the minor details, and
at the conclusion of the ease the alderman dionsimed the
summon., and thereby absolved the defendant of the respon-
sibility of maintaining his wife, who because so exasperated
at the result, that she followed Mary Garrod, a benevolent
and respectable-looking old lady, as the molt important wit-
ness that appeared against her, and attacked her in a moat
ferocious manner, and after besting her tore her bonnet from
her head. Bridget Conway was aocordingly apprehended on
that charge, and now sim denied the assault.
Aldermen Waterlow said the bonnet (Dow produced in a
state of collapse) bad a very different appearance when Mrs.
Gerrod was is the witness box patng evidence of the adul-
tery. From what he had seen of 11ridget Coo way he thought

THE HEALTH OF LONDON.

The report published by authority of the Re-
gistmr-OsoirelistateSthat, is the week that sailed bat Satur-
day the deaths in London were 1,186. The average number
of deaths is ten correeposdiog weeks (via., the thirty-eighth
week in each of the years 1853-62), with the omission of
deaths from cholera in 1854, and a correction for increase
of population, is 1.147. The mortality as exhibited in the
present return does not much exceed the estimated amount.
Then were 36 deaths from small-pox, 14 of which
I occurred to persons fifteen years old and upwards. It is
stated that vaccination had been previously performed in 10
of the 36 cases, but the iridium as which such statements
rest is sot always to be trusted. Only one death from small-
pox oreurred is the west districts in the week ; and not
more than 4 in the south.

The deaths from ecarlatina were very numerous in the
week ; they were 130. This complaint is, at the present
time, the most fatal to the list, with the exception of
phthisis, which numbers 142 cases. Scarlatina seams to be
rife in Ksetish-town, when there were 8 deaths from it;
in the enb-district of Haggerstone East, where there were
5 ; and in that of St. Peter Walworth, where there were TA
Four deaths were ascribed directly to intemperance, be-

THE CONGRESS OF POLITICAL ECONO-
MISTS AT DRESDEN.

It has been already stated that the Congress un-
equivocally decided in favour of the abolition of
patent laws, on the motion of Mr. Prince Smith.
M. Schultze-Delitzsch read an important paper
on the wonderful development of working
men's associations in 1862. There were now
One thousand of these associations, and their
circulation last year amounted to 4,808,0001. The
question of banks was next discussed, and gave rise
to a very interesting debate. The following raw-
lntioss were adopted. In the first place it was
laid down as a principle that banks should be
perfectly free under the condition of the entire
responsibility of the shareholders for all debts-
Secondly, that, as existing banks were authorised
by the State, the State had a right to impose on
them conditions for the security of the public.
Until the principle of perfect banking freedom
was established, the Congress recommended
the establishment of discount banks, in
order that the public might be trained
to learn that the other business of banks
was more important than that of the issue of notes.
On the subject of the "right of domicile" the Con-
geese decided that this right should be absolute.
A person should have the right of living where he
pleased, of working at what business he liked, of
marrying without being fettered by local institu-
tions, w'aich, however, ought to protect com-
munes from tboee who had become paupers.
The question of the Zollverein was also discussed.
K Michaelis, member of the Prussian Chamber
and a distinguished economist, supported the re-
commendation of the committee, which proposed
the reconstitution of the Zollverein at the end of the
contract two years hence, with the ratification of a
treaty of commerce. K Sonneman submitted two

PICKING POCKETS AT A RAILWAY STATIOL
Sophia Steplams, a well-dresmed young womau, brought
was bught
before the sitting magistrate, charged with picking the
pocket of Elizabeth Dell on the platform of the South
Western Railway at Waterloo Statiou.

Mr. Edwin appeared for the accused.
The prossentrit, • lady residing in Farmatrset,
Berkeley-eqeare, said that she arrived by the half-past 5
o'clock train as the previous evening by the South Western
Railway from Southampton. While looking for her lug-
gage
to get am y, the poisoner, another lamas, sad a man
pushed spirt her, and she thought they meant to steal her
watch. Feeliag a tug at her pocket, she put her hand down
and missed her purse and contents. She turned round, and
seeing the prisoner go away from her, she followtd her
and told bar she had robbed , when witness distinctly
saw her throw the puree away. The °theorems up and she
was taken into custody.
Ia 0701/-saairtiosby Mr. Edwin, witness said that she
did sot see the prieoser'a hand sear her pocket, but she saw
the puns drop from her on the platform.
Mr. Samuel Norwood, chief inspector in the company's
service, said that he was on duty on the platform on the
snivel of the half-put 5 o'clock train, when he saw the
prisoner in the act of leaving the prosecutrix,when the latter

be connected with • gang of thieve* infesting the railways
in and about the metropolis.
Mr. Edwin, for the prisoner, contended that she was •
respectable woman, and the proeecutrix must be mistaken.
His client denied having ever had the purse.

the prisoner's character was sod former convictions against

AUSTRIA.

" The Austrian Reichsrath," says the Nord,
" will shortly commence the discussion of the
budget for 1884. As drawn up by the government,
the budget anticipates a deficit of 50 millions of
florins. That amount will, however, be exceeded,
as 90 millions will be required to relieve the dis-
tress in Hungary, and the taxes of that country will
produce 20 millions leas than was expected. The
total deficit will consequently be 100 millions at

least, which, according to the Press of Vienna, can
only be covered by a new loan, as it is now too
late to impose, for the beginning of 1864, the new
taxes by which it was hoped to cover this
deficiency."
