"difficulties of the other alternative. A champion
"for the truth is raised up with special endow-
" manta for its defence, or the common sense of
"mankind proves too strong in the long run
" for the specious sophistry of error ;
"and attacks upon Christianity or its
" doctrines which have unduly alarmed the Church
" and have vauntingly proclaimed their assumed
" victory have slowly retreated, baffled and for-
gotten, not without; injury, indeed, to the faith
"of individuals, but leaving the fabric of the
" truth unshaken and unimpaired. Such we may
" confidently expect will be the history of the
" sceptical theories which form the prevalent
" danger and trial of the faith of our day." This
is history and common sense. Bishop Jacamorr is
not in favour of the revived system of crying
down man and books in synods. He knows the
inevitable effect of such tactics on the English
mind. He remarks that "if in the last century the
" infidelity of TOLAND, and the errors of Wilisros
" and CLARKE faded into oblivion, the instrument
"of their suppression was not the condem-
nation of the Synod, but rather the
" pens of BENTLEY and WATaRLAND and PALEY.
Accordingly it is from the learning and piety of duly
qualified men that he looks for the suppression of
error in these our days. All the clergy are not
required to assume the posts of controversy or
employ their pens in the defence of the faith.
" But of all it is required to study carefully and
" deeply those Holy Scriptures out of which they
" have vowed to instruct the people committed
"to their charge ; and to pray fervently for guid-
" ante into the whole truth which by man's dull
" inner vision can be only spiritually discerned."
This is sound advice, and these are the means
by which the clergy will best establish and maintain
their hold on the people.

LATEST INTELLIGENCL

RUSSIA AND THE ITALIAN CONVENTION.
The Inralide Busse contains some observations
on the subject of the convention of the 15th Sep-
tember :
That document (it nays) cannot, even in the opinion
of its partisans, produce the fruits expected from it uttil
Ital► shall have emancipated herself from revolutionary
passim', and Rome from the obstinate reaction which pre-
vails there. The latter alternative is more improbable
than the other. The Pompom' and spiritual interests we
so closely united in the person of the Roman catholic
pontiff that he will be always men to have recourse to his
temporal authority to stifle all nameable progress in him
states. He will also be found to constantly employ his
high spiritual influence to everywhere excite the catholic
clergy against all acts contrary to the preponderance of
catholicism. Whatever may be the dangers in • not dia.
tent future, the Pope will unfortunately remain faithful to
his maxim—Pus possentu.

The Moscow Gazette thinks it was very wrong
that the court of Rome was not invited directly to
take part in the formation and conclusion of
the treaty. It is also astonished that the cabinets
of Paris and Turin, without regard for the
immense interests which all the other catholic
powers must feel on the Roman question, could
have decided amongst themselves that no foreign
intervention for the settlement of this question
would be permitted. The Moscow journal considers
that one of the immediate consequences of the eva-
cuation of Rome will be the approximation of
France and England. As to the alliance between
France, Prussia, and Russia, the idea of which was
attributed to M. de Bismarck, the Moscow Gazette
rejects it as far as concerns Russia, who would
have nothing to gain thereby. Such an alliance,
it maintains, would ',Ely be of advantage to the
Western Powers. Russia ought to remain indepen-
dent in order to take up at its leisure the Eastern
question, and it ought to avoid any alliance which
may lead to new demands for concession to Poland.
In a word, the attitude of Russia ought to be
that of isolation in its strength, and its policy
that of developing its institutions and the internal
prosperity of the empire.

THE VIENNA CONFERENCE.
VIENNA, Ocr. 5.

At to-day's sitting of the conference, the Danish
plenipotentiaries are said to have made certain con-
cessions in the boundary and financial questions,
but they in,dgted that the Duchies should have no
part of the indemnity paid for the redemption of
the Sound dues, and finally made a fresh proposition
for the settlement of the question.
Herr von Haien, recently arrived from Berlin,
was present at the conference.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom on OWN

PARIS, WZDSISDAT EVICIRIIO.

There is yet a new phase in the tiraillements,
which I have noted within the last two or three
days as prevailing in court circles. Prince
Humbert, who was to have left Paris for Turin to-
day, has, the Pays announoes, postponed his de-
parture till to-morrow, in order to take leave of
the Empress. This news, which coming from
such a source I assume to be true, negatives
the scandalous report that Prince Humbert
was leaving Paris prematurely, expressly to
avoid meeting the Empress. But it fails
to explain why he does not stay in France till the
20th, as the same journal, the Pays, announced'
only three or four days ago that he would do, and'
why the special preparations for fetes in his honour
at Compiegne are all in vain. There is certainly
no known pressing reason arising out of the state
of affairs in Italy, why he should return so suddenly
to Turin. Moreover, when Wednesday was fixed
for his departure, it was well known that the
Empress was coming back the next day. There
has, therefore, been a change in the arrangement.
The Patric gives the improbable news that the
Empress at this moment, on her way from Baden
Baden to St. Cloud, is " accompanied " by the
Count de Goltz. That the Prussian Ambassador
may be travelling from Strasbourg in the same
train as her Majesty is possible, but that he
should be otherwise "accompanying" her would
shock all common sense, considering the notorious
diplomatic coolness which exists between France
and Prussia and the failure of the attempt to brig
about an interview between the Queen of Prussia
and the Empress Eugenie at Baden.
It must be expected, whatever may be the real
anticipations of the French government as to the
consequences of the convention of Sept. 15, that it
will continue to profess the utmost respect for the
Pope, and a full expectation that he will accept the
"means" provided for him to preserve the tem-
poral power. There continues to be not the
slightest opinion that the Pope will lend him-
self to the convention. Letters from Rome state
that the Pope's councillors are mainly decided upon
the question whether to oppose an " active resist-
ance " or issue a protest to the catholic world, and
wait events.

I observe in a telegram from Vienna a piece of
news which, if literally true, would be of capital
importance. It is stated that when the French
ambassador communicated to the Austrian Minister
for Foreign Affairs the purport of the convention
of Sept. 15, the latter, after an irrepressible
gesture of astonishment, asked whether lie could see
the text of it, to which the French minister rejoined
that he could not show it yet because it would not
be "definitive" until ratified by the Italian chamber
"and by the Pope !" If the latter condition were
really part of the contract, it is obvious that the
whole convention would be a miserable joke,because
nothing is more certain than that the Pope, so far
from ratifying it, rejects, spurns, and spite upon
it from beginning to end. Ido not find, however,
that the evening papers attach any importance to
the above news, and I take it for granted that it
must be incorrect.

The Bourse is still heavy, but there is no change
in the quotations of the Rente.
The Pairie to-night contradicts the rumour,which
has been widely accredited, that the parliamentai f
session would be opened before Christmas ; it will
not take place till about the usual time, i.e., in
January or February next year.

CURIOUS CHARGE OP PERJURY.

Yesterday the Brighton borough magistrates,
confiding of Mr. Brigden (mayor), Mr. A. Binge (stipen-
diary), Mr. Montagu Scott, Mr. Cordy Borrows, end Mr.
Hollis, were engaged the whole day in investigating a
curious charge of perjury preferred against a tradesmen.
The party charged is Mr. Henry Mowbray, auctioneer and
estate agent, ea the Grand Parade, and also agent to the
Railway Passengers Insurance Company. The prosecutor is
Mr. Samuel Thorocroft, amistent oversew of Brighton, and
registrar of births, marriages, and deaths for St. Peter's
district in that town. It appeared that cm the 20th August
Mr. Mowbray called on Mr. Thorncroft, at the parochial
offices at the bottom of Church-street, and asked Mr. Thorn-
croft to insure with him, and that a conversation ensued,
which resulted in Mr. Thorncroft agreeing to inmate for 250/.,
the expense of which would be 11. Is paymeat Mr. Tharucroft
drew a cheque on the Locdon and County Bank, and took
from Mr. Mowbray • receipt for 11. A few days afterwards,
on looking at the counterfoil in his cheque-book, he found •
memorandum that the corresponding cheque was Si., and
this he immediately corrected to it., but when be received
his bank book at the end of the month he found that he
was debited 51. in the name of Moibray. Finding that he
bad thus inadvertently drawn a cheque for Si. instead of
It., he sent for Mr. Mowbray, and asked for the restoration
of the 41. Mr. Mowbray replied that when Mr. Thorocroft
paid him the 11. hominid he never drew cheques for so small
an amount as it., and that he consequently drew • cheque
for U., receiving from him (Mr. Mowbray) the 41.
balance. This Mr. Thorocroft denied. He declared that
he never received the 4/., and that he said nothing
whatever as to not drawing small cheques. In fact, the
very next cheque that he drew was fer I/. The parties
being unable to agree upon the facts, Mr.Thorocroft sued in
the county court for the 41. • fortnight duce, when both par-
ties swore to what is mentioned above, Mr. Thorocroft sup-
porting his version of the transaction by the evidence of Mr.
Underwood, the deputy assistant overseer, and a clerk
named Carpenter, both of whom denied that any coin pared
on the occasion in question. The judge of the county oourt
(Mr. Furser) gave • verdict for the plaintiff, Mr. Thorn-
croft, ordering the immediate restoration of the 4/. by Mr.
Mowbray. Since that time Mr. Mowbray had in conversa-
tion charged Mr. Thorocroft with perjury ; and Mr. Thorn-
croft, replied by samnioniog kink before the magistrates sod
charting the perjury on the other aide. Mr. A.
T. Mills, of Brighton, conducted the tion ; Mr.
J. G. Langbani, of Uekfield, was for the defeooe.
Mr. Ewen Evershed. the registrar of the county court, and
Mr. Woodhiun, the usher of the court, produced the
record of the case, and gave evidence of the defendant
having sworn that he banded the four sovereigns to Mr.
Thorocroft. Mr. Thorocroft himself was examined, and I
having detailed all the circumstances of the Gees reiterated
him averment that no money passed. He wee cleverly cross.
examined by Mr. L•ogham. Mr. Underwood and the boy
Carpenter gave evidence in corroboration. They did not
see Mr. Mowbray give Mr. Thorncroft the four sovereigns,
although they were in a position to see all that took
piece. Mr. Lengham, in • powerful address, urged
that it was far more probable that Mr. Thoracroft's =moot.,
failed, than that Mr. Mowbray had committed deliberate
and wilful perjury. Mr. Mowbray came from Leicester,
where be had been guardian and vice-chairman of the board
of guardians ; and when he left Leicester his townsmen
presented him with a piece of plate. He proposed to call 25
witneases.who would give him the highest possible character.
The magistrates, after a sitting of six hours, decided on
committing Mr. Mowbray for trial, but admitted him to
bail, himself is 1001. sad tee sureties in 501. each.

Fires continue to occur in Russia. The town of
}ioniclsk, in the government of Saloum had 17 houses
burnt down last week ; and at Reneebnrg, in the govern-
ment of Rama, 150 were reduced to ashes.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—A meeting was
bold at Devooport ea Itooday at which it was stated that
5,5001. will be necessary to liquidate the exposer that will
be incurred by the suit of the Royal Agricultural Society
to Plymouth in 1865. Of this sum about 5,0001. has already
been subscribed, ineludiog a contribution of 100 guineas by
him Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.

THE ROYAL SUVEIIEIGN.—In justification of the
extraordinary determination taken by the Lords of the
Admiralty in regard to this ship, we are informed that the
Royal Sovereign was sever intended for • sea-going ship.
She is • floating battery for harbour defence, capable of
being sent to any port in the Channel ; but not adapted to
cruise with a squadron. She has no masts, and her decks
are too low for • sea-going ship of her tonnage. To try
her, therefore, with the ships of the Channel equadrou
would have been of no practical use. She was
sent to Portland as • convenient piece for trying
her turrets and guns and her behaviour in •
moderate seaway. After theme trials had been in
progress for some time the destroetioe of her hawse-
pipe by an aocidestal shot left her with only one anchor,
sod for the safety of the ship it was necemary to bring her
back to a dockyard. Captain Osborn then sent up • list of
defects and alterations, which were ordered to be carefully
examined, and, as they would require a considerable time
to make good, no advantage would be gained by keepiug the
ship is commission with • large number of officers and men,
with the winter approachiog. It was therefore determined
to attach the ship to the Excellent as • tender, keeping
Captain Osborn, the first-lieutenant, sod • sufficient num-
ber of men on board to carry on the further experiments
with the turrets and guns that might be desirable. end also
to have the essistanee of Captaia Key and the officers and
men of the Excellent in orrying out those experimenia.—

THE INSrRANCE COMPANIES AND THE ERITH
Ecri.orios.—The following letter (says the Timeo) relates
to the question which was metal. to arise as to the liability
of insurance companies with regard to the damage tamed to
surrounding houses by the gunpowder explosion at Erich.
A CYO which will be used io some degree as • precedent oc-
curred io February last, when a vessel named the batty
Sleigh exploded in the Mersey, mosiag injury to several
Imams on the shore. On that occiseioe the offices, although
they dial not consider themselves technically liable, re-
solved to pay all claims. One shareholder, 11011•VW, of
the Royal Insurance Company disputed their right
to do se. and prayed for as ieimictioe in the Vice-Chan-
cellor's Court, where the application was refused, the Asti.
timer being °oedemata:l in the orate of the promise. Distil
within the last few years the companies did not hold them-
selves liable even for losses occasioned by the explosion of
gas ; but it is believed they always met any claims on that
more, provided the circumstancia were of an ordinary kind.
After the iastaaoe of the Lotty Sleigh it was suggested that
the °Mom should some to a fixed decision as to what should
be the uoderstaeding in all such accidents for the future, hut
they neglected to do so, and bents there is a possibility that
much angry or conflicting discussion oe the subject, may
now have to be encountered :—" Erich, Oct. s.—Sir.—A
question will very naturally arise who is to pay for the do
mese dooe to furniture, the lose under which head is, taking
my own case, which I think is slight compared with some,
far more serious then is toads out in the newspaper accounts.
I happeued to be insured in the Sun-office. Their managers
regret' that they most decline compeseating ' for the injury
my property lam sustained. What course other companies
may take Ido not. at the momect, know, but it will be
well that this question should be at once ventilated in order
that we may know what course to take. It seems clear that
some one ought to pay, and I thought, even if not legally
liable, they might at least listen to claimants and meet them
is part under their policies. I enclose my card, and! shall
feel obliged by the insertion of them few lime in your
colonise.— Your obedient servant, Inseam" . _

BALLINASLuL FAIR.—The grest October fair for
cattle, sheep, and horses is thornily event in the year which
breaks the monotony of the liven of the inhabitants of
Ballittsalce, and impart& a temporary appearance of hun-
tress soil animation to the usually dull streets of that tows.
The fair lasts four days. daring which, and for the two or
three preceding and subsequent days, the town is crowded
with strangers from all parts of the kingdom, with very
often a good number of tourists from the Continent and
America, to the Great profit of the inhabitants. The large
business houses of Dublin also seed down repreeeetatims
to open branch establishments, and many of the local Owl,-
keepers retire from business for the week and let their
premises to their competitors from the metropolis,
who pay for the accommodation much more than the
owners could hope to make by continuing to carry on their
bailees". The appearance of the town would be pleasing
and picturesque were it not that the " fair " weather in
proverbially wet, and that business is usually transacted
nadir a constant downpour of rain, which fills the rudely.
paved streets with mud, and reduces the fair green to a
swamp, in which the representatives of the bucolic interest
sink nearly keee deep white chaffering over their bargaisa.
This year, however, the fair commenced under auspices of
exceptional brightness, the weather being (for the first time
since 1&59) as fine as mould be desired, arid quite pent and
summer-like. The town on Tuesday bad at. unwontedly
busy aspect, the streets being crowded with buyers, sellers,
and drovers of live stork, to large numbers. The total
somber of sheep sold during the day was 57,424 ; the total
sold in the two days lret year was 5.3.934, and the unsold
19,540. Very few remained unsold yesterday.
INCENDIARY FIRE NEAR LINCOLN.—About 2
o'clock on Tuesday morning intelligence wee brought to the
police station at Lincoln that the farm premises of Mr.
Edward Andrews, of Fiskerton. about six miles in an easterly
direction from Lisoolo, were °a fire. Thecity dee mese, with
four horses attached, was immediately sent to the nese of the
disaster, but when they arrived it was found that the fire had
burnt itself out, havieg takes, plane in the walled-in erew-yard,
No water was to be had within nearly a mile of the place.
On examination a shocking sight was presented to view, so
Ice than ten fine bleats, eleven pigs, and a quantity of
poultry being literally masted alive, and their dead women
lay strewed about the yard, smoothie a most sickening
spectacle. Fortunately the night was 'ere still, sad the
stacks in the stack-yard and farm buildings were saved by
having wet blankets placed over them. It appeals that one
of Mr. Andrews' daughters bed corms home ill from
school, and requiring Nome drink betwes• 11 and
12 o'clock at night, one of the servants got oat of bed to
attired to her. and found the room illumined with light.
On opening the window she found the crew.yard in flames,
and os giving ea alarm she saw two men, who were talking
together, ceasing sway from the premises in the direction
of the plantation at Short-ferry, about a quarter of • roils
distant, There in not the slightest doubt that the for is the
diabolical work of aa hieesdiezy, sod the damage sustained
amounts to nearly 4001. Mr. Andrews, who bad a serious
fire on his premises about 11 years ago, is ienred in the
Midland Counties Office.

THE RAILWAY BRIDGE AT BLACKIPRIARS.

FIRST TRAIN IN THE CITY TO THE LUDGATE
STATION.-(THUS DAY.)

This morning a trial trip train, consisting of
several carriages laden with a considerable number of the
directors of the London, Chatham. and Dover Railway Com-
pany, with Mr. Cabitt, the eugiaser, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Ken-
nard, the cootractor for the iron work of the railway
bridge, and several other gentlemen, passed over the
new bridge at Blackfriars, and along the remainder
of the line across the new Earl - street viaduct,
to the platform of the Ludgate station, near to Arothe-
caries...hall, for the purpose of viewing the work and an-
, bouncing the oompletiou of the superstructure. The train
panted smoothly and easily along the line, and as it pro-
ceeded from the southern to the northern end of the bridge
the directors were loudly cheered by the large quantity of
persons passing along the temporary roadway closely ad-
jacent. The bridge consists of four lines of railway, but it
was upon those of the western side that the train ran upon
this 000ssion. A new feature in this bridge, when alto.
gather finished, will be that, along the top of the: cross ellip-
tical braces on both lines of railway, 20 lines of tei
wire on each side will be fixed, making 40 in the width
56 fat; thus making skied of curve overhead, which will
have a very pretty and unique appearance. The examina-
tion throughout was deemed perfectly satisfactory.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO A POLICE
INSPECTOR IN THE NEW CATTLE MARKET.

INQUEST.-(THIS DAY).

This forenoon Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy coroner
for the City of London, held an inquiry at St. Bartholomew's
