PARIS. MONDAY EVENING.

It is consoling to observe the unanimity with
which the admitted semi-official organs, the Consti-
tution/lel, the Pays, and the Patrie make onslaught
upon the outsider, La France. The bare idea of
an indefinite occupation of Rome by French troops
now excites in the profoundest degree the virtuous
indignation of these journals. Indeed, the Con-
stitutionnel this morning has an article almost offi-
cial in its form. To be sure we must not make too
great haste to accept the statements made therein,
for it will be in perfect harmony with precedents
should the Monitenr, to-morrow or the next day,
put an extinguisher upon the authority of the
Constitationnel to make this or any other as-
sertion in the name of the government. Still
the article in question is of no every-day cha-
racter, so I give it verbatim:
The Times, which, in its Paris correspondence, had stated
that the new journal published "under the avowed direc-
tion of M. de la Guerronniere expressed merely individual
opinions," affirms in another article that there is every
meson to suppose that the manifestoes of that journal really
disclose the views of the imperial government. As certain
foreign journals, as well as certain journals of the depart-
ments, have gone even further than the Times, and have
openly stated that the policy advocated by M. de la
Guerronniere relative to the only pee,: of its
programme which to • certain point has occupied public
opinion bad received an august approbation. a denial has
become necessary. We are, then, authorised to declare
that the assertion ia devoid of all foundation. We may
add that not only has the work of M. deb. otlerfOODi4o on
foreign policy not received the high approbation spoken of,
but that it was not even unoffiria,ly communicated to the
cabinet of the Emperor. Thus fall to the ground all the
reports by means of which it has been attempted to act upon
public opinion.

The Temps observes of this : " It appears deci-
dedly that that unfortunate journal La France must
resign itself to receive a disavowal per day. The
disavowal of today is still more significant than
those which have preceded it, in this sense, that it
bears most particularly upon the Roman policy of
the new journal, which, it is known, consists in
calling for an indefinite occupation." La France
itself, in its number of to-day, seizes upon the
article in the Constitution/le/ to ask innocently,
"Are there, then, such things as semi-official
journals I Really, we did not know it. But some-
how or another we have an indistinct recollection
that the Constitutionnel has on some occasion been
disavowed ;" and thus tweedledum and tweedledee
keep up the ball.
There is ample evidence that the Italian govern-
ment has either been betrayed into an unjustifiable
optimism as regards Garibaldi, or has wilfully per-
verted the truth in the statements sent forth to the
world. It is beyond all doubt that the ex-dictator
is not playing the mad game so eagerly attributed
to him by persons either only too willing to be
deceived themselves or too anxious to deceive
others. The insurrection—if that term can be ap-
plied to a movement which indicates the will of an
entire people—has evidently been organised far and
wide ; and whether Garibaldi remains in Sicily or
crosses in disguise to the mainland, that movement
is going on, silently and secretly, but surely.
Here is a passage extracted from a "proclama-
tion" by the Emancipation Society of Genoa (which
we to-day hear has been dissolved by authority)
and seized by the government. Strange to say, the
government has ordered the publication of the
same. This is something like the " Don't nail his
ears to the pump, boys !" for thousands of persons
will now see it published "under authority.' to
whom it would otherwise have been a sealed letter :
The duty of the 500 associations which compose this cen-
tral representation is marked out. The hour is come when
each should prove that it comprehends its mission. Two
duties are now incumbent upon the ►ssociations : to watch
over the liberty menaced by the projects of the Decembrists
of the ministry, and remembering the proclamation of Cor-
leone to think actively (penearcoperwamente) of the captain
of the people. Let each association direct its aspirations
with lots of our country and of Garibaaldi. Let every man
do his duty. . . . .

The correspondence which gives this " proclama-
tion" denies positively that Garibaldi ever uttered
the violent language attributed to him as to
destroying the Italy which he had made. It is
stated that the Pope has really applied to Spain for
• ship, in cue of accident, and that the govern-
ment of her Catholic Majesty is about to dispatch
—if it has not already dispatched—the frigate Our
Lady of Monet Cannel to Civita Vecchia.
The Marquis of Pepoli has been received by
the Emperor. Of course he told the truth

The Empress of Austria, perfectly cured, returned
to Schuobruon on the 15th of this month. There were on
the occasion great demonstrations of joy at Vienna, where
the Empress is very much beloved. The Emperor manifested
his gratitude for the sentiments of the population, by a
letter specially addressed to the president of the Council of
Ministers, Archduke Regttier.

During the Napoleon fete on Friday afternoon
the Emperor, accompanied by the Empress, left the Tui-
leries in an open carriage, and drove, not without some dif-
ficulty, along the line of Boulevards, the Quid d'Orsay, and
the Enplaned° des Invalides. Their Majesties were received
everywhere with enthusiasm.

"Prince Napoleon," says the Indipendance,
" travelling under the name of the Count of Meudon, set
out from Paris on Saturday afternoon to pus ten days in
Switzerland. This journey, under present circumatances,
has given rise to a host of comments. Some affirm that the
prince will appear under an incognito at Turin to consult
with his father-in-law, King Victor Emmanuel, as to the
settlement of the affairs of Italy ; others contend that the
sole object of the prince's visit is to improve the relations
between Switzerland and France. In our opinion he is
gone simply for the purpose of visiting his property on
the borders of the Lake of Geneva."

The Japanese Embassy arrived on Friday, dur-
ing a heavy rain, at St. Petersburg, and proceeded to their
hotel on the English quay through an immense crowd of
people. During the whole of Sunday the hotel was be-
sieged by numbers of people anxious to obtain a sight of
the Eastern visitors.

RAPID P•iISAO ES TO CALCI:ITA.—A private
telegram received in Liverpool yesterday anatillaGee that
the ship Ghazepore bad arrived out at Calcutta,
making the passage from Liverpool in 78 days.
We are informed that • telegram has just been re-
ceived rid Jubal by the East India and London Shipping
Company, announcing the safe arrival of their screweteamer
Hydaspee at Calcutta. having made (including detention at
Madras) the quickest passage on record. She arrived at
Madras is 65 days, Saugor Roads in 68 days, and anchored
at Calcutta within 69 days after departure from England.
MASON AND DIXON'S LINIL—Tbill line, SO often
spoken of at the present time in oonoexioo with the civil
war in America, is the parallel of Latitude 39 deg. 4.lmin.
26 sec., forming the boundary line between Pennsylvania
and Maryland. It takes its name from Charles Mason and
Jeremiah Dixon, two English mathematician., who in 1763
were employed by the proprietaries of those colonies to
determine the boundary line in order to put a docifitio:
border warfare which had lasted 90 years. Mews.
and Dixon were four years occupied upon the work, having
been impeded by the Indiana. This parallel became after-
wards famous as forming the division between freedom and
slavery in the original states of the union.
Dr. Mueller, the famous Australian botanist, has
just published the first of five volumes "On Plants Lodi-
gowns to Victoria." He is also about to publish • de-
scription of the plant. discovered in North-Western and
Central Australia by Mr. Gregory and Mr. Stuart respec-
tively, and also of North-Western Austral* by Mr. Stuart
in Central Australia, those preserved on board the douses
Victoria during her voyage through Torres SOUL' to Car-
pentaria and back. Dr. Mueller is also about to MOW Mr.
Bentham, the distinguished English botanist, in his put
work on the Flora of the entire Australian continent.
A dreadful scene of confusion (says Galignani)
has just taken place at St. Nicholas, in Belgium. On the
morning of the 15th, while the Church of Notre Dame was
crowded with persons attending divine service, a noise of
broken glass was heard, and a panic at once seized as
the congregation, every one imaginiog that part
of the budding was falling. Some of the wefts
present clambered over the communion-table, and
sought refuge near the altar. The great bulk,
however, rushed to the only door that was open, and there
a terrible crush took place, and the usage was speedily
blocked up by persons falling and getting trampled on, the
pile of bodies soon reaching to almost half the height of a
man. By the exertions of those on the outside, the pas-
sage was after • time cleared. The number of pewee
injured is considered large, and one woman died soon after.
The alarm appears to have been caused by • stew, thrown
from the outside, having broken through a pus of gius,
and then fallen into the church.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. FORESTERS' FETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
--• II (THIS DAY.)
The comparatively fine weather attracted a some-
what numerous attendance to the Exhibition
yesterday, although not such as ought to be
expected at this period of the year, when the great
body of the working classes are in the habit of
taking their holiday. We fear that the situation
will not be improved by the determination to which
we understand the Commissioners have come after
long deliberation, namely, not to reduce the
price of admission on Saturdays to a shilling.
Arrangements contemplating the visits of
thousands of operatives both in town and
country depended entirely on the antici-
pated reduction, and the disappointment amongst
those classes will be proportionably great. A
deference to the wishes of large numbers of the
ticket holders has probably influenced the commis-
sioners in their decision.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant again
visited the building yesterday, and was con-
ducted over it by Mr. Owen.
Mr. Sandford, Secretary to the Commission, has
returned to town, and yesterday resumed his official
duties.
The highest temperature yesterday, as shown
by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers,
was :—ln the nave, 63.1 deg. ; in the galleries, 64.6
deg. The reading was taken at 3.45 p.m.
The following were the total numbers admitted
yesterday, compared with the corresponding day
in 1861:

At 9 o'clock this morning London Bridge and all
the approaches to the Crystal Palace Railway Natio• as.
lamed a holiday appearance from the throngs of well dressed
women and well.conducted men, who were on their way to
join in the grand display which the Ancient Order of Fore,-
ten, or at least that portion of the order which represents
the metropolis, annually makes at Sydenham. By 10 o'clock
the station itself was in a state of siege. Crowds aces.
mulated faster than the railway could carry them off, and the
cry was " still they come." And conic they did in shoals ;
so that up to twelve o'clock the numbers mast have swelled
up to an aggregate of from 15,000 to 20,000, with every pro-
Mille of a long matinees:ice of the stream of life and bustle.
Meanwhile, as is usually the case, thousand, more had gone
down by road in all sorts of vehicles and all aorta of styles ;
from the dashing drag or brougham with its jaunty pos-
titian, to the bumble one horse cart. There were omni-
buses with four horses, three horses, sod two horses ; vans,
py with baoners sod crammed with a living freight of
good temper and enjoyment ; and in fact all this* outward
sad visible signs of holiday making, which usually mark a
fete day of the mamas.
Large concourses of spectators gathered about the
Elephant and Castle, Camberwell green, and other pleasant
loitering spots along the line of route ; and if the crush of
vehicles was not quite so great as on • Derby Day, the scene
was quite as picturesque from the fact that hundreds of the
holiday makers went down en costume. Robin Hood and
Little John, and their " merrie men all," were well repre-
sented by persons dressed in garb' which sat unemily upon
some of them, but which were so strikingly unlike anything
usually seen, except on the stage, es to cm..
mend • &Dos from every passing wayfarer. Velvet
11 tunics and "Lincoln green tights, buff boot*, and hats
of fanciful fashion, with dancing plumes and dazzlingly.
bejewelled, were to be seen in almost every vehicle ; while
the scarf of office, with an accompanying rosette, was
everywhere visible. There, too, was the "huntsman's
horn," upon which ever and anon some ambitious member
of the ancient order sought to gonna • "mote ;" but,
after distending his cheeks and his lungs to the utmost,
failed ingloriously in the attempt, nevertheless reserving
' his grand effort until far away from the busy haunts of
men, he could wake up the sylvan solitudes of Dulwich.
Altogether it is computed that the number who have
found, or will end, their way to Sydenbam during the day
by road and rail will exceed 40,000; and, with a day (judg-
ing from its opening) as fine as if made to order, with the
beautiful grounds of the Crystal Palace at their command,
with archery and other sports for their amusement and re-
creation, and with an abundance of good cheer waiting to
be consumed, there is every reason to conclude that the
fete will be another great success. " Bold Robin Hood
and his Foresters good," with their wives, sweethearts,
and children, are off to Sydenham for a day's enjoyment ;
and it will surely be strange should they be disappointed.

ALLEGED MURDER Old WIPE IN EDINBURGH.

A melancholy oocurronce took place in a honee at
No. 19, Semple-street, on Saturday night, which has re-
sulted in the death of a young married woman, and the
committal of her husband on a charge of murder.
It appears that the prisoner, who is named George
Charles, is a Seabee by trade. He had been on an incur.
lice to St. Andrews, along with the entptoyts of the North
British Rubber Works (where he had latterly been work.
ing), end on his return home, somewhat the worse for drink,
be began to quarrel with his wife about some money
be had expected would have been sent to him.
Not receiving any reply he became exasperated,
struck her • severe blow on the beck, and kicked
her on other parts of the body. It is said he also took up
a knife and threatened to stab her. The poor woman ran
to her father's house, • few yards off, and the old man im-
mediately went to the prisoner, and asked him what be
meant by maltreating his wife? He replied by saying that
he would give his father-in-law " three inches of the Indio"
if be offered to meddle with his affairs. The old man then
gave him into custody. This took plat:eat twenty minutes
to one o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning. The deceased
returned home, and in a few minutes afterwards she expired.
On being informed of his wife's death, the prisoner mid
with • careless air—" I thought it would come to that;"
and he seemed but little affected by the melancholy news.
After the necessary inquiries were made, he was committed
on • charge of murder. The prisoner and the deemed bad
been married about nine years, and bad a family of three
children, all of whom are tow alive, the youngest beingoaly
six months old. The deceased, who was of very respectable
parents, was about twenty-seven years of age. It is stated
that she had been suffenng for same time back from beset
disease. It is reported that the prisoner has for a bag
time been leading a dissipated life ; and it was uounooluntoe
thing for him, when under the influence of drink, to threaten
to stab his wife, or say of his other relatives with whom he
might disagree. —Ed lobo rpir Courani.

`ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC BALLOON ASCENT.—Yester-
day the balloon committee of the British Association made
another ascent from Wolverhampton, represented, as pre-
viously, by Mx. Masher, of the Royal Observatory. Mr.
Coawell was the aeronaut, aod, as before, his mammoth"
balloon was the aerial machine. It will be remembered
that on the first ascent in Wolverhampton • few weeks ago,
an altitude of about five miles was attained, and that, after
being up about two hours, and travelling during a portion of
that time at the rate of 60 miles an hour, a descent
was made in Rutlandshire, just in time to sere
the voyagers and their machine from being lost
in the Wash. In the descent, which was made
with great rapidity so soon as water was descried, most
of the instruments wens seriously damaged, and among
them Thomptoo's electrometer. Excepting that instru-
ment, the instruments taken up yesterday were room
of the same, and othe-a similar to those used on the
occasion of the first ascent, the observations being con-
fined to testing the humidity and temperature of the
atmosphere, with its preeaure„ the vibration of the magnet,
and the quantity, if any, of ozone away from the earth.
The ascent was made precisely at 2 minutes and 38 seconds
past 1 o'clock. There was a large number of the toed
gentry on the ground, but in addition to Mr. Glaisher. the
only member of the balloon committee present was Lind
Wrotteeley. The quantity of gas which the balloon con-
tained when it left the earth was about 65,009 cubic feet.
Special care had been taken to secure gas of the lightest pos-
sible character, Mr. Proud, the engineer to th•Wolverliarop-
ton Gas Company, having invented for the rupees an appa-
ratus which will test the specific gravity of the gas with
greater accuracy than can be attained by the use of any other
similar instrument. The quantity mentioned would leave
nearly a third of the balloon unoccupied, thus affording an
opportunity for the gas within it to expand in the ratified
atmosphere, at the same time that enough was taken in
to enable the experiments to be taken at the highest
altitude, after some two or three dips had been
taken. The ascent was all that could be desired. There
was a brilliant sunshine, the atmosphere had but few clouds,
end those white, and the wind was molds( at the rate of
only 20 miles an hour. The direction in which the balloon
was first wafted was south by west, about half a point to the
west. On attaining about 111,000 feet the upper current of
the atmosphere was met. The voyagers then got into a point
direct south, were afterwards seen rorth by east, and were
seen in that direction until 3.23, when they had made one
or two dips, and were moving off slowly apparently over
Birmingham and towards Coventry. The balloon descended
at five minutes past 4 at Solihull, 25 miles from Wolver-
hampton, after attaining a height of 4} miles, where the
temperature was 24 degrees, the barometer about 13 inches,
and the dew point minus 10.
GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION TO QUEENSLAND.—
The ship Conway, of 1,156 tons, belonging to Mr. E. de
Pass, Captain Spence. sailed from Southampton on Sunday
for Seascape, Queensland, with 396 emigrants, equal
to 256} statute adults, of whom 219 were English
140 Scotch, and 8 Irish. They comprise 48 married
extols', 88 single men, 141 single women, 29 boys, 34
girls, and 8 infanta ; the whole under charge of Surgeon-
Superintendent J. G. Winston. Mr. B. E. Pym was ap-
pointed schoolmaster, and Miss Pym matron. A large
number of the emigrants were nominees of land purchasers,
and among these about 100 were nominated by Kiss Rye,
a lady who has prominently advocated "female middle-class
emigration." Mr. E. A. Smith, the emigration officer at
Southampton, assisted by the Rev. N. Cotton, distributed
the sum of 1361. 155., a portico of Rebell's Emigratiou
Charity, among the most necessitous oases in this ship. The
Conway is fitted with Dr. Normandy's distilling apparatus,
and every arrangement is made on board for the health and
comfort of the emigrants. Mr. Walcott, one of the Doi.
gration Commissioner", and Captain Lean, the emigration
officer for London, paid a visit to the ship on Friday last.
INTERESTING DISCOVERY AT POMPEII,—AII
im-
pnrtant archeological discovery has just been made at
Pompeii, of a mill with a great quantity of corn in excellent
preservation, and an oven with 81 loaves, arranged in rows,
and but slightly affected by the heat of the lava, having
been protected by a quantity of ashes which had covered the
iron door fitted to the mouth of the oven. These loaves
have all been pt out entire ; a large iron shovel for intro-
ducing leaves into the oven has also been found on the spot,
with a remnant of its wooden handle. This is the first dis-
oovery of the kind on record.—Golignani.
RAILWAY COLLISION. —A collision between two
passenger trains on the Great Northern Railway took place
near the Holbeck Junction, about a mile and a half from
Leeds, yesterday (Monday) forenoon. The usual passenger
train for London left the Leeds station at 10 minutes past
10 o'clock, the carriages amounting to 17 or 18 in number,
and being chiefly first and second-class carriages. Near
Holbeek Junction, which is on a bold curve and heavy
gradient, the train, owing to the inefficiency of the
locomotive power at the time to the weight of the train,
and the ebaracterd the gradient of the line, came to a stand •
still,or nearly so. Asa passenge r train for Br•dford was follow-
ing oat the senteline, it was deemed proper by those in charge
of the latter that an attempt should be made to push the
London train forward by the Bradford one. Unfortunately
the Bradford train was driven with too great a force against
the train for the metropolis, and a somewhat serious colli-
sion was the result, The break van of the London train was
partly broken, and the guard in it received a severe blow on
the head, and many persons in the carriages nearest the
break-van also received rather severe bruises, cuts, and
contusions. As soon as possible the London train returned
to Leeds, and Mr. Sy mons, the superintendent, promPtlY_lniut
far a number of surgeons, who took every means possible to
have the sufferers attended to. Mr. H. Price, Mr. Rohrer,
Mr. T. P. Teals, jun., ad Mr. Hey, were soon in attendance,
From fifteen to twenty persons were found to be injurA,
but none of them apparently seriously, and they all re-
ceived such care as their respective cameo required. The
rest of the passengers in about two hours afterwards left
for London.

THE STOLEN BANK NOTE PAPER.—The amount
sad nature of the Bank note paper stolen from the mills
have, it is believed, been fully ascertained, and the whole
affair is within limits to prevent serious alarm. The re.
wards offered and other measures taken will probably lead
to the detection of an organised gang of tonere—Timer.
DEATH 01 THE DEAN OP GLOCcESTER.—We have
to record the death of the Hon. and Very Rev. Edward
Rica, D.D. Dees of Gloucester, aged 85. The rev. veal*.
man was born in 1776, and was educated at Christ Church,
Oxford, where he graduated in 1798. He migrated to An
Souls shortly afterwards, and in coo:lotion with that
took his degree of Master of Arts in 1802. In thatyearnlC
was presented t, the precentombip, with the prebendal stall
of Great Driffield annexed, in York Cost/led:4 value 4601. •
year, which he baa held up to the present time. In 1810
he we presented by his father, Lad Dynevor, to the rec-
tory of Gnat Risingtoo. near Stow-00-the. Wold, Glower.
tershire, worth about 8/01. a year. He held it until 1856,
when he resigned it in favour of his son, whom Lord Dyne-
vor presented. In 1825 he was
.presented by the Pad of
Liverpool, who was then prime minister, to the Deanery of
Gloucester, which is worth 1.2241. a year. The precentor.
ship of York cannot hereafter be held with the deanery.
The late Jean was heir-presumptive to the barony of Dyne-
vor, his nephew, the present baron, having no family. The
next in succession to the baron', is the Rev. Henry Rios,
M.A., of Christ Church, Oxford, rector of Rislogtoo,
formerly vicar of Biddenham, in the diocese of Ely. The
nomination to the cleaner/ will rest with Lord Palmerston.
NEW DRINKING FOUNTAIN IN ST. CLEMENT
DAIWA' CAORCHTARIL—A splendid drinking fountain.
erected at the expense of and presented to the inhabitants
of the parish of St. Clement Dane by Mr. Joseph Brown,
many years an inhabitant of the parish, in memory of his
wife, was inaugurated yesterday in the presence of • large
number of persona, by the rectal*, churchwardens, and other
authorities. The fountain is placed on the south side of the
church, nearly facing Arundel-stmt, and consists of a
draped female figure, with wings, in • kneeling posture,
holding the shell from which the water Bows into • basin
below ; the whole executed in Sicilian marble, the pedestal
being of polished red Aberdeen granite. In the panels on
either aide are engraved in gilt letters the words " In memo-
riam," and round the upper part " Presented by Joseph
Brown."

DISTREMA IN LANCAARIRE.—As the pressure Of
distress increases, through she stoppage of more mills, the
working classes from the country villages and towns flock
to Manchester and the larger centre of industry in great
numbers, to ask alms in the streets, and beg from door to
door. It is no unusual thing when travelling borne by
railway to be asken for alms by your fellow passengers, and
• gentleman riding from Manchester to Stockport in a first-
clam carriage was told by his fellow passengers that they
were operatives out of employ, and would be glad if he
could give them money. He remarked that it was strange
for men out of work to be paying first-class fares, and
the answer was that the differenoe in fare was
trifling. No doubt the true auswer would have
been that gentlemen travelling first-class would be likely
to give silver if they gave at all, and thus the difference
would be more than made up. Great numbers go through
the towns in groups singing such songs as they know, or,
more commonly, singing sacred wink, and pick up a good
deal of money. Many of these people, it is said, get money
from private funds subscribed in their own neighbourhoods,
and it has been suggested that some means should be
adopted of preventing them adopting this vagabond life as
much as possible. One firm, in the country, lately em-
ploying 2,000 people, now give them three days wages
per week, though not employing them. To prevent their
hands going about begging in other towns they have issued
an order that their workpeople shall muster at the mills
every day, at a certain hour, and be kept there • short time
to clean the machinery. This system will probably base
to be adopted more generally.
CIIRIOUM FATAL ACCIDANT.—On Tuesday evening
last, on the return of Mr. Crisps and friends, who had been
to visit the Exhibition, to their cottage, situate near the
nursery gardens, at eatherhead, they were much sur-
prised at not being able to obtain an eutrlnce. Thinking
the servant, Margaret Jane Marshall, aged 22 years,
who had been left in charge of the premiss, had
gone to see her sister, who resides in the village, they

stealing • diamood ring, value: 8/., the property of Thomas
Cockayne, jeweller, Fenchurch-street.
Mr. Pater prosecuted.
The prisoner, it appeared, went into the shop of the pro-
secutor, and after looking at Ammo nags, left, stating that he
would call again. As he was going away, however, an
assistant in the shop noticed that in a compartment of the
tray of rings which the prisoner was looking at there was a

of stealing twenty yards of silk and three silk scarves, value

goods in question.
Mr. Sleigh, in defence, said the prisoner had_ previously
borne an exceedingly good character, and he called rural
witnesses, who spoke very highly of his previous conduct.

worst feature in the case was that through the prisoner's
conduct the parties in the employ of the prosecutors were
all liable to suspicion. As it was he should take into con-
sideration the good character that had been given him, and
should pass the lenient sentence of 12 months' impriaoa-
ment.
