EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(IRON OCII OW COILIESPONDILNT.)
PARIS, WIDNICSDAT Eftworo.

A meeting took place at M. Jules Fevre's on
Monday evening, consisting of the seven actual
members for Paris ; the two ex-members—whose
option to sit for the provincial districts in which
they were returned is the cause of the two
vacancies now about to be filled up—M. Emile de
Girardin, editor of the Prease ; M. Nefitzer, editor
of the Temps ; and M. Ravin, editor of the
Sukfe; the latter holding a proxy for M. Gue'roult,
editor of the Opinion Nationale, who was indis-
posed. The object of the meeting was to fix upon
the candidates for the election of March 20 and
21. On the motion of M. de Girardin, seconded
by MM. There and (Hillier, it was agreed that in
order to give plenty of time for the suggestion of
candidatures the meeting should adjourn till Satur-
day, when it will be holden at M. Marie's. The
above thirteen individuals, are, de facto, the grand
electors of Paris, for it is certain that, in the pre-
sent state of the public mind, whoever they agree
to recommend will be returned. Some people
protest loudly against their " dictatorial " power,
but this clamour is absurd. Their power is an
accident, derived entirely from the absence of two
liberties, the liberty of the press and the liberty
of public meetings.
Touching the iron-clad fleet, which has been the
subject of contradictory announcements, the Patrie
says :

A journal rightly contradicts the rumour that the iron-
clad ships at Cherbourg were about to he put on a war
footing, but this journal itself makes ►n inaccurate asser-
tion. It annonnoss that the ships in question will be
formed into a division in April next to execute for theo-
retical porpoise a series of new roanotavrea. We are enabled
testate that so decision has been come to on this aubject. It
is possible that most of our iron-clads, nested of being
formed into a special division, m►y be incorporated in the
Mediterranean squares of evolution, commanded by Vice-
Admiral Penned.

Liberal plo to new voters added
do. do. . voters expunged

Showing. the total liberal gain on the revision, 285.
The 70 voters expunged from the register, whose politics
were not ascertained, are fairly set off by the 80 Pike votes
added. If, however, every possible eoeceesioa be made to
the conservatives, by coesidering every such elector ex-
punged to have been a liberal, and every such new voter
added to be a oosservative, there would still be a liberal
gain of 137 votes as the result of the revision. Beyond the
760 entries above referred to 118 duplicate entries were
likewise ermined from the register. By the addition,
therefore, of 1,163 new voters, the number of electors will
be iscressed by 255, a number exactly corresponding with
the liberal gain. Besides the alterations involved is the
above statistics very many hundred corrections of the resi-
deuces and descriptions of the voters were made in the re-
gister, rendering it as perfect a record as is attainable make
the present imperfect system of registration. The liberal
gain on the revision of 1863 was 292 ; the omen% gain of
285 gives a liberal gain in this two years of 577 votes.
We believe that the oonosevative agents have not yet
given their version of the result of the registration.

like wet ground was completely unworkable on any

themselves compelled to commence anew the work

to give back a golden guerdoo. With the excep-

working ground in the vicinity of Bathurst
—efforts that have been to some extent
crowned with success—there is nothing new in the
way of opening new ground ; and this fact, joined
with the discouraging effects of the weather, causes
a more than usual dulness amongst the mining
population. The escort charge of Bd. per ounce
formerly levied upon all gold brought to Sydney
and consigned to the deputy master of the Mint,
has been reimposed. Upon specie and bank notes
a charge of a quarter per cent. will be made for
transmission in any direction and for any distance.
It should be mentioned that specie, the produce of
gold coined at the Mint, has hitherto been returned
free to the consignors. It is estimated that by
means of these charges the escort will pay its
expenses.

The quantity of gold-dust imported into the
Sydney branch of the Royal Mint from the let of
January to the 12th of August amounted to
476,807 ounces, and the coin issued was 1,740,000
sovereigns. During the corresponding period of
the year 1863 the receipts of gold-dust amounted
to 293,433 ounce's, and the coin issued was 678,000
sovereigns and 658,500 half-sovereign. Total
value, 967,2501. The increase in the business
of the Mint is still owing to large quantities
of gold being remixed from Melbourne for ooMage,

ARTILLERY EXPERIMENTS AT SHOE.
BURYNESS.

After a holiday of two months the competitive ex-
periments between the Whitworth and Armstrong,
and the Lancaster, Scott, and French guns, recom-
menced at Shoeburynees on Monday. The gnus
have been carefully examined in the inteiral, And
the Whitworth 70-pounder being pronounced un-
safe by the Ordnance Inspector, the future firing of
the Whitworth and Armstrong 70-pounders has been
ordered tope carried on under cover, which must
to a great extent put a stop to any further trials
of rapid tiring.
The week has been mainly devoted to firing the
70-pounders for range and accuracy, both with solid
shot and shell. .On Tuesday, whilst firing with
solid shot at 2 legs. elevation, the new vent of the
Whitworth became choked at the 34th round, and
14 trying to prick it the needle broke off, spiking
tke gun, and necessitating the removal of the vent,
ich is effected by-unscrewing it. This mode of
fixing the vent offers great facility for renewing it
when required, as the operation of re-venting seldom
occupies more that half au hour. The committee
have accorded to each competitor permission to fire
200 rounds according to any programme he may
determine. On Wednesday Mr. hitworth ex-
hibited vertical kin from the 12-pounders at 45
dens., charge of powder 3} ox, with shells of 5
diameters, capacity for bunting charge 14 oz. The
range obtained was 1,200 yards. Some oblique
firing through water at an oaken target 6 inches
thick, front the 12-pounders, also took place,
and was renewed on Friday, but only in a few
instances where the shot struck the target
not more than nine inches below the surface of the
water was the target pierced. Mr. Whitworth con-
cluded his experiments foe the week on Friday, by
firing spherical shot planed to the hexagonal form
from the 12-pounders, at a9-foot target, atl,ooo yards;
10 rounds with one shot, 4 rounds with three shots,
2 rounds with six shots, and 1 round with nine
shota—total number of shots fired 43, of which
26 struck the target. Sir William Armstrong has
not yet availed himself of the offer of the com-
mittee to carry out a programme of his own, but
doubter, will do so before the conclusion of the
experiments, which, it is expected, will take place
in November. The Ordnance Select Committee'
are reported to have completed their experiments
with the Lancaster, Scott, and French guns, and
it is anticipated that the report will show that
only a trifling difference exists in the relative range
and accuracy of the three guns.

QtTEENSI. A ND.

The Queensland Guardian of August 18 states
that the new Immigration Bill had passed through
committee. It is described as a very liberal mea-
sure. Mr. Jordan, it was thought, would return
to Europe by the overland mail, as Agent-General
for Immigration.
The Young Australia, Earl Russell, Sultana, and
Fusilier had arrived from England, bringing 1,327
immigrants. The ships had good passage and the
immigrants arrived in good health.

"The rate of wages prevailing in the oolony,"
says the Guardian, " has not been at all 'frosted by
the large arrivals, and continues to rule as high as
at any time for the past two years."

Between 2,000 and 3,000 colliers and miners, con-
vened by the committee. assembled at the back of the
Market-pleas, Baotou, os Saturday, to bear an address from
Bounwol Griffiths, the well-known metal broker, who is
a native of Billiton and highly popular with the working men
of the town and neighbourhood. Mr. Gnffitha, prior to the
meeting, wax closeted for ebont an hour with the leaders of
the strike, and it was ultimately decided to propose a reso-
lution to the colliers to go to work ou Monday morning.
At the molting Mr. Griffiths spoke at some length, telling

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 17.

THE rise in the rate of discount at Paris and
Amsterdam shows that the pressure which has so
long prevailed here is at last beginning to re-act
on the foreign markets. The more intimate com-
mercial relations that have existed between Eng-
land and the Continent during the last few years
must sooner or later have produced this result.
The only question, in fact, was one of time. It
is a curious truth that capital, or its representative
money, is of all commodities the one that most
slowly responds to the ordinary action of free
trade. Suppose that a deficient harvest occurs in
any particular country, the void is at once sup-
plied from its neighbours with no greater
delay than the time required for trans-
port. The same rule holds good with
other articles of general commerce. As regards
money, however, although the law applies, it is
from various reasons much more tardy in its
working. For months the rate of discount here
has been two or three per cent. higher than in
France, Holland, or Germany, and yet it is only
now that the difference is exercising an appreciable

The Oesterreichische Zeitung of this evening says :
" Letters from Paris state that the relations be-
tween France and Austria have undergone no
change. The Venetian question has not been
touched upon. Austria has not protested against
the
.Franco-Itslian convention, and there has been
no question of a congress. Prussia hastened to con-
sent to the convention. Napoleon, however, will
never agree to the aggrandisement of Prussia with-
out adequate compensation. At Berlin there is
possibly an ides of abandoning Austria to her fate,
if certain concessions be made to Prussia, but no
negotiations have taken place on the subject.

THE MYSTERIOUS POISONING CAEN AT
HIMBLETON.

DBOITWICH, yaIDAY.

It will be remembered that a few week .ago a
Good
iblidatecel of excitement was cemidemed at the of
near this town, laiiier death of • young
named Behead, aged 20, the niece of the Rev. .
Vernon, ovate of fUmbletoo, expired oa the 7th
October, show a ellen illness, during which she was unat-
tended by • medical man. It seems Yr. Bishop, surgeon,
of Worcester, who attended the family, had been sent for
te tit• morning by Mrs. Vernon, but was unable to get to
Hisibleten until the evening,when ha found Miss Unbend
deed. From the symptoms as described to him, Mr.
Bishop came to the omeinsion that she had died from
bilkers cholas, lad she was buried. Some time after-
wards, however, a reamer got abroad to the effect that
she had ham slimmed, and accordingly the coroner of the
diMaiet, W. S. I'. Hughes, Req., ordered the body to be
disinterred and examined by • medical man. It wee then
discovered not only that demand had died from poison, a
Imp quantity of anode being found in the intestine. and
stomach, but that she was six months gone with child.
At the inquest a young carpenter of the village, named
Cols, admitted that he had bean on intonate terms with
the deceased, and- that he wished to many her, but his
friends objected. It came out that the garnets at the rec.
tory connived at the eoptaiutanos, sad that Cole, need to
visit Miss Unbend in the kitchen and bask promtioos with
the knowledge of the servants, but unknown to the master
or mistress. Mn. Vernon had heard romans" of the ioti-
mairy of her niece with Cole, but His. Hasid had always
denied it to her aunt. A quantity of anode was found
a cupboard at tits rectory after the demand's death, but
Mrs. Vernon and the servants on the inquest denied all
knowledge of it. The Inquest ended in • verdict that de-
ceased had died from the effects of poison. but how adminio
tered there WY no evidence to show. The result has by
no means satisfied the public mind, and other rumours hav-
ing got abroad as to the cause of the deosesed's death, the
magistrates of the district determined to reopen the loves-
tigatioe. Amordiogly some magistrates have been sitting
here yesterday/and today, the Right Hoe. Sir J. S. Peking-
ton in the chair, for the purpose of making a preliminary
inquiry into the circumstances. A great number of wit-
MM. have been summoned on the *airy, and have base
examined. but the magistrates havieg decided to conduct
the inquiry privately, we are not in • position to go into
details. The result of their deliberations will be made
public at the close of the inquiry.

THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.

The principal intelligence concerning the New
Zealand war which was brought to Ragland by the
October mail was the expected Stack on the Mere-
mere fortress, near the Upper Waikato River,
which the Maories had occupied in considerable
force on the 10th of August. They had greatly
strengthened the natural advantages of the posi-
tion, and, to all appearance, had determined to
defend it against any attempt which might be made
to dislodge them. By the present mail, however,
we learn that they have abandoned the fortification,
and affected a clever retreat unobserved. The
following is the telegraphic account of the affair
On the night of the Ist General Os,oteron, her* com-
pleted his arrangernsets for storming, landed 700 men to
throw up breastworks. The Maories, finding an attack was
meant, silently deserted the fortifications, and, when the
troop@ entered, the place was own leteiy deserted. the
Mamies haring successfully intviall bealiDd one

of the Waikato for troops. A gunboat went up the river.

This is our latest news from NeWi Zealand, end
the principal item connected with the war this
month. There have, however, been some akir-
Tubbs, In one of which the Victorian Volunteers
took a prominent part, and four of their number
; were killed.
The Adelaide detachment of the 40th Regiment
arrived at Auckland on Nov. 5, and immediately
proceeded to the front.
During the month General Cameron had ob-
tained large reinforcements both of imperial troops
and volunteers raised in the Australian eolonles ;
cud his force has been increased by the 11008/111111 of
the 50th Regiment, which was dispatched from Co-
lombo in her Majesty's steam transport ship
Himalaya.
The Aipus says :—" There can be no doubt that
there are ample troops in New Zealand to crush the
rebellion at once, if the enemy could be met in
oppeann battle. It is quite evident, however, that the
Maoriea are far too wary to risk such an encounter,
and that they are determined to carry on a gue-
rilla warfare. The adroitness and skill with which
they effected their retreat from Meeensere are suf-
ficient proofs of their strategic powers and there
is too much reasou to fear that the struggle will be
a harassing and prolonged one."

It is reported that new combinations are being

between two opposite parties of statesmen. The
parties referred to are, first, those who desired to
drive fcreiguern from the country without any
delay, and by the use of force ; and secondly, those
who wished to work them off gradually. Prince
Satsuma has been all along viewed as the head of
the former party, while the Tycoon's government
has been identified by many with the latter policy.
It is now said that they have coalesced.

PARIS, FIIDAT EVZNING.

The ball given by their Majesties at the Tuile-
ries the night before last was exceedingly brilliant.
As is usual on such occasions, a diplomatic recep-
tion took place in the Salle du Tame before the
imperial party entered the rooms appropriated to
dancing. The heads of embassies were ranged in
the order of their seniority, with the exception of
the Papal Nuncio, who always takes precedence.
After Mgr. Chigi came Lord and Lady Cowley
for England ; the Prince and Princess de
Metternich for Austria ; Mehemed Djemil-
' Pasha for Turkey ; Baron and Baroness de
Budberg for Russia; Count de Goltz for Prussia ;
and K de Isturitz for Spain ; then the 3finisters-
Plenipotentiary, and after them the charges-
d'Affaires. A number of presentations took place,
and then their Majesties entered the rooms thrown
open to the general company. The Emperor wore
the uniform of a general officer, and the Empress
a white dress embroidered with gold, and having
on the head a coronet of magnificent diamonds, to
which was attached a white veil falling on the
shoulders behind. Dancing commenced immediately
after their Majesties' entrance and continued to 3
o'clock in the morning.
In the case of the railway accident, it seems that the
engine of the Brussels train, which had been thrown
by the shock on the top of the carriages of the train
standing at the station at Pierrefitte, was afterwards
overturned. The whole station near the scene of
the accident was the next day still covered with the
shattered remains of the carriages. The engine
driver and the stoker had time to jump off, and so
escaped uninjured. An investigation is now going
on, by mesas of putting a train is motion, to ascer-
tain whether, as the night was clear, the steam es-
caping from a locomotive could be so intense as to
impede a view of the signals, for it is only inch a
circumstance that could have caused such a deplor-
able accident. One of the trains was bringing
