THE CONFERENCE ON THE ROMAN
QUESTION.
PARIS, Nov. 9, L 56 P.N.
_ - _

It is stated that the invitations to a conference
upon the Roman question were issued on Thursday
last.

PARIS, Nov. 10, EVtItING.

The Patric of this evening, in an article by M.
Dreollo on the proposed conference, says :—" As
yet no official step has been taken by France for
the immediate convocation of $ European confer-
ence. When the dispositions of the other powers
are ascertained, the French government will be
enabled to give expression to its own views through
the medium of a diplomatic document. We dare not
affirm at present that the idea of a conference will be
realised." The article concludes as follows :—" We
think that as soon as Europe will consent to take in
hand the interests represented at Rome and at Flo-
rence, she will endeavour to find not an accidental
solution responding to the passing views of the
moment, but a complete and final solution of a
nature to close an era of agitation and of disorder,
of anxiety for peace on the Continent, and of dis-
quietude to society in general."

THE BATTLE OF MENTANA.
(PROW OUR OWN CORRIRTONDLNT.)

PARIS, SUNDAE EVENING..

The short report in the MONitettf of General de
Failly to the Minister of War of the battle <f
Mentana, fought on the 3rd, is given as a tele-
graphic despatch, and dated Rome, Nov. 9. The
dates of private letters received from Rome this
day are Nov. 6, and the public has no explanation
of the two astonishing facts that the Minister of
War should not yet have received any written de-
spatch from General de Failly, and that his tele-
gram of the important event of the 3rd should be
dated the 9th. Some petty reticence and trickery
on the part of the government there evidently is,
but the why and the wherefore is not yet
apparent. The cynical expression of General del
Failly that " the Chaasepot rifle did wonders," ex-
cites great disgust. It results from his report that
all the talk of the French speedily leaving Rome is
nonsense. The presence of the French army was,
he says, " urgent" to " save" Rome. That is at
once an admission that the Pope, now again a
client of Napoleon 111., is unable to stand alone,
and a claim to remain in Rome for an indefinite
time. General de Failly proudly undertakes to
guarantee not Rome merely, but the " Pontifical
States," against the insurgent bands ; to do
this ho of course assumes that he must
remain where he is. The use of the
words " insurgent" and " insurrection" in this
despatch is remarkable. Hitherto the French
theory was that the movement against the tem-
poral power was the work exclusively of "foreign
bandits and rapscallions." it must now be made
a note of that the French general boasts of having
crushed the head of an " insurrection." So far
from there being any sign of the French occupation
ceasing it is extending. The Mouiteur mentions
that a French detachment has entered Viterbo
amidst the " frantic applause " of the populations.
These are some of the very populations who a few
days before had voted annexation to Italy by an
almost unanimous plebiscite. So much for the
value of popular enthusiasm under the shadow of
dictating bayonets !
General de Failly 's report is inferentially more
complimentary to Garibaldi's volunteers than any
that has yet appeared. It is not true that, though
attacked by overwhelming forces they were
" utterly routed." At Mentana they kept the
" allies"—so General de Failly delights to call the
Pope's heterogeneous legions and the French
troops—at bay till nightfall. When the attack was
renewed the next morning a small force left in
that place capitulated and obtained honourable
conditions. When the "allies " went into Monte
Rotendo they found that Garibaldi had retreated
with the bulk of his forces in perfect order, and
had taken effectual precautions against pursuit.
The Paris public read with pleasure on the walls
to-day the placard of M. Haussmann, announcing
that the bakers' bank," established in 1863, will
now be called upon to advance money enough to
bakers to keep the maximum price of the four-
pound loaf of the best bread at lfr. It halt lately
been Hr. 2c., and was likely to go higher.

THE MANCHESTER ELECTION.

Mr. Disraeli will see, says the Daily Nemo, by the state
of the poll at Manchester that be has not yet sue.
carded in mystifying the middle classes of the coun-
try. The return of Mr. Jacob Bright by a majority
of nearly two thousand over the ministerial candidate
is a fact which he will assuredly not misunderstand.
Alderman Bennett bad evidently studied the lesson of
Ike great political " Educator," and might have been
trusted to follow Lord John Manners at a Crystal Palace
demonstration, while Mr. Jacob Bright took his stand on
the most advanced position of his party. There was •
third candidate, of whom it is difficult to speak. Mr.
Mitchell Henry come forward, as he stated, in the interest
of " political wisdom," which it seems consists in pro-
fearing admiration for Mr. Gladstone, denouncing the
ballot, and declaring that the representation of the people
is now all that could be desired. Manchester has em-
phatically recorded its sense of this kind of liberalism.
The Telegraph, complimenting Manchester on "having
done its duty," strongly condemns the attempt of Mr.
Bennett to injure Mr. Bright on the ground of his reli-
gious opinions. In our representative system the religious
opinions of • candidate have nothing whatever to do with
his eligibility for a seat in parliament. The result of the
election settles another important point. There is no
fear now that the blandishments of • mongrel class of
politicians will divide the liberal party on the strength of
the work that has been accomplished. The electors of
Manchester have returned a member because of his staunch
adherence to the party which has always embodied the
popular demand for liberal measures, and which does so
still.

THE POLICE COURTS.

Mr. Alfred Balls, pawnbroker, i3roiapton•read, was sum-
moned for neglecting to deliver up a pledge.
Daniel Call., a cellaman, living at •.n, Webster-road,
Bermondsey, said that he gave a than named Olive a sove-
reign for the ticket of 27 yards of black silk, pawned for
4!. ss. with Mr. Baker, who was Mr. Balls' predecessor.
He sent a man named Milstead, on the 30th of October, to
redeem the property, when, instead of 27 yards of black
silk, nine for
of light-coloured silk was delivered to him
in return for 4!. 13a. 6d., which was paid at defendant's,
as principal and interest.
Olive was called, who proved that he knew nothing
about the property pawned, and had received the ticket
from Charles Smith, who stated that he bought the ticket
from a man named Sayers. In the course of the evidence
it was deposed that sonic pawnbrokers who could
not otherwise profitably dispose of stock made up " rig"
pledges, placed thew in their warehouses,and then dis posed
of the tickets. He believed this was one of these
fictitious pledges, and that the silk now produced was not
worth more than 1!. se.

Mr. Self. mid that this was a most extraordinary revela-
tion. It was entirely new to him, and he was surprised
to find that any pawnbroker could lend himself to so dis-
graceful a system of fraud as that of making up false
pledges and then putting the tickets in the market in
order that they might receive an amount of money as
principal and intermit. It was as bad as a duffer, who
went about selling sham watches or other articles.
It was stated ma behalf of Mr. Ball's that as he knew
nothing whatever about this pledge he must of course be
held blameless. Mr. Baker having fallen into difficulties,
Mr. Balls purchased the stock of the tru.tees of
the estate, the valuation of unredeemed pledges being
male from entries in the books, the articles as usual in
such transfers not being inspected. After the extraordi-
nary revelation the magistrate bad heard, it was to be ap-
prehended that Mr. Balls might find himself • serious
sufferer. He bad paid the full value as upon the books for
this silk as • bent fide pledge.
Defendant's books were produced, and were satisfactory.
Mr. Selfe observed that the complaint was for not re-
delivering that which las saw no reason to believe had ever
been pledged, and dismissed the summons.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROSI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, TuEADAT EVILNING.

The Avenir National says :

The government press will not resign itself to the
failure of the " Conference." They reiterate their asser-
tion that a number of little States, if not the great ones,
have aocepted the invitation. It is true their assertions
are speedily contradicted ; but they gain belief for a day,
and that is a great point. Now they pretend that the
only subject of anxiety is what city will be fixed upon for
the meeting. They forget the old maxim of the cookery
book when speaking of the way to make jugged bare—
" First catch your hare."

It is very confidently said in court circles that
the Emperor and Empress will leave St. Cloud for
the Tuileries on December 2. The 20th was the
date originally fixed for the translation, and even
now the announcement stands uncontradicted that
the first court ball will not take place before
December 23. I still hear that the Prince Imperial
will pass the whole winter at St. Cloud, and I do
not find any confirmation of the rumours that he
is going with the Empress to Nice.
The Mayor of Omens, a commune near Toulouse,
was lately dismissed by the Prefect, in virtue of a
power which exists under the coup d'etat laws, but
which is too shocking to traditions yet surviving
to be often exercised. It must be remembered
that French mayors are now not elected by their
fellow-citizens, but chosen by the Emperor. M.
Penent, the Mayor of Cazeres, who e.c concessis
must have been a government man when ap-
pointed, writes to the Prefect a letter, dated Nov.
23 (only three days ago), stating he leaves office
after having long vainly been submissive to an
extent which now leaves him remorse, because the
conditions put upon him were incompatible with
his love of independence and liberty. With this
general protest he shakes off the dust from his feet,
not entering into details.
The Bourse opened with firmness, but the Rente
declined for the close Ilie. for cash and 12&c. for ac-
count. There is no political signification in this
change, the market being for the present entirely
under the influence of artificial combinations.

A,,4AELT ON THE PoLICE.
Three young men named oc4ryc Ire !at". 1P; ham
soil JaM,ll Foster, were charged with being con-
fer:led in colowitting a violent and serious assault upon
Poliee.constable Wilsher, of the V division.
The complainant, who had been severely maltreated,
raid that at 12 o'clock on the previous night he was on
~uty in plain clothes in Wandsworth, and while passing
the Ran. Inn he was struck in the mouth by a man, who
" lion are a policeman—take that." Witness took
tin, into custody, when the prisonerHughesinterfered and
.truck him (the oonstable) in the face. He
drew his staff, when the first man 'track him behind
the e.r and knocked him down. The daft was then
wrenched from his hand. He got up and took
Hughes into custody. A crowd gathered round
:o,n, and being afraid of further violence be went
,nto the pnblicliouse with the prisoner and
1.1,..,4 the landk.r.l to send for assistance. The other
Prisoners then attacked him and tried to rescue Hughes
from his custody. Witness was smothered in blood from
his nose and mouth. Hughes and Manley threatened that
if they were fined through him they would do for him.
Hughes set up a defence that the constable was not
sober, and had been drinking with him.
The constable said he hail not been in the neighbour-
hood. He was sober.
Marney said be did not know that be was • policeman.
Seeing them fighting he took Hughes away.
The constable told the magistrate that knew he
was • constable, for while he was on the ruz being ill
'tied be heard him say " He is a slop, let us do for him."
31r. Forsyth, the landlord, said the house was Wing closed
when he saw the constable and Hughes fall into the bar.
The constable was under the prisoner.
Mr. Ingham said it was clear that the asmult was com-
mitted because the complainant was a constable, and front
no other reason. He should therefore send Hughes and
Mimes, for two months' imprisonment each, and Foster for
seven days.

The prisoners asked for the infliction of fines.
Mr. lnghent- No fines for these assaults.
The prmooers were then locked up, evidently astonished
at the deniaion.

HOME ClRClAT.—Mairtnows, Auovrr 1.
CnoWN Couar.—(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.)
To-day was appointed for the two most important cases
of the assizes—a charge of rape and one of tape accom-
panied with murder.
a young man described as a fly-driver,
was indicted for a rape on Annie Rush at West Wickham.
Mr. Bealey conducted the case for the prosecution. The
prisoner was not defended by counsel, and hardly denied
the facts.

The complainant, a young woman in weak health, had
arrived from London on is Saturday evening at the Becken-
ham railway station, where she wee put into the prisoner's
By to be conveyed to her sister's, at West Wickham. On
the road, according to her account, the man stopped the
dy, got into it, and committed the offence. Being weak in
health she said she could not resist with much effect, but
she gave the strongest possible proof of the genuineness of
her story by immediately afterwards jumping out of the
fly as it was going along, hurting herself severely in the act.
She rushed through a hedge and cried out to a woman who
was there, and begged her assistance. The Hyman came
back and she declared he had abused her, which he (lid not
deny. The young woman being unable to walk far, the
people round her persuaded her to get into the fly again,but
this she refused until the woman got into the fly with her,
and a man got upon the box with the prisoner. When she
got to her sister's, about midnight, she threw herself into
her arms in a highly excited state and charged the pri-
soner with having abused her. Her sister asked him what
he had been doing and he again made co reply. The young
woman remained for three hours in a most excited state,
and at 3 in the morning her sister's husband went for the
doctor and the police. The doctor', evidence, as far as it
went, confirmed her story, and when the police arrested
the man he said she was mad, or something like it. He
made no defence either before the magistrates or here,
except to say that he had " been drinking, and was sorry
for it," and afterwards that he knew nothing about it.
He was convicted.

The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said I • con-
sidered it was a ease free (rein all reasonable doubt, and
sentenced the prisoner to 15 years' penal servitude.

Mr. Kur,lake, Q.C., and Mr. Swanston moved in this
matter on behalf of a Mr. Chambers and others, on whom
a call bad been made by the official liquidators of the
above-named bank, that they might be allowed any sum
which they should pay to the liquidators of the Conti-
'natal Bank Corporation I Limited), for exchanged shares
held by them therein, as payment on account of the calls
made on them in respect of their shares in the London
and Mediterranean Bank, and that the amount of such
calls might be reduced pro tanto ; or if such calls had
been paid in full, those payments might be allowed on
account, in the event of any future calls being made in
them in respect of shares in the said London and Mediter.
mean Bank.
Mr. Bacon, Q C., and Mr. J. N. Ilig ins were for the
official liquidators of the London and Mediterranean Bank,
but were not culled upon.
The Vice-Chancellor refused the motion with coats. It
was an attempt to set off payments iu respect of liabili-
ties incurred for one cou.pany against payments due for
liabilities on account of another, which could not be
allowed ; the motion must, therefore, be refused, with
costa.

FRANCE.

PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING.

The Presse says that the new pamphlet which has
been so greatly bepuffed in anticipation—" Napo-
leon 111. and Europe"—and which has been inten-
tionally attributed to the pen of a person about the
Imperial court, is not worth reading. "It is from
first to last a Prussian publication (adds the Presse).
The writer is perhaps not a German, but he thinks
and writes like the Berlin Correspnulenee, and he
makes use of the worn-out arguments and conclu-
sions of that print. He recommends to France as
the rule of her policy, the frank, complete, and
sympathetic acceptance of the facts accomplished
or in process of completion in Germany,' and he
represents the success of the unification of Italy
and of Gemany as necessary to the progress of de-
mocracy and of liberalism. Faugh ! this line of
argument smells rankly of Bismarck."
Tho Journal de Rouen says :—" The submarine
cable between Boulogne and Dover was broken on
Wednesday morning at a spot si miles from the
French coast. The cause of this accident is un-
known; probably it was caused by the anchor of
some vessel. Active steps are in progress to repair
the defect, and in the meantime telegraphic com-
munication between France and England is carried
on through the Calais cable."

THE SHAM GOLD WATCH CASE.

Charles Suter and Edtrard Coulson, who were convicted
two sessions since on an indictment charging them with
endeavouring to obtain GI. by false pretences from .L.ha
Stringier Upsall, by falsely representing that a watch
they presented to pawn was gold, and marked with the
mark of the Goldsmiths' Company, whereas it was only
base metal, and the mark 'aid to be that of the Goldsmiths'
Company was a forgery, were brought up for judgment.
At the trial Mr. Poland, who appeared for the prisoners,
raised a legal objection to the conviction, contending that
the offence only amounted to an exaggeration of the
quantity of gold in the cases, and therefore was not a
criminal offence, for if that were hold to be so there was
scarcely a shopkeeper in London who could not be charged
in a similar manlier.

The Assierant-Judge thought this was a point worthy of
consideration, and as there had been no previous decision
upon it he consented to a case being submitted upon it to
the Court of Criminal Appeal. This was accordingly
done, and on Saturday last the question was argued by
Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Collins for the prosecution, and
Mr. Poland for the defence, and the judges affirmed
the conviction, and of course this morning the prisoum
were brought up for judgment.
The Assistant-Judge said this case had been very ably
argued by the counsel on both sides on Saturday last, sad
the court bad rpproved the decision of the jury by whets
the prisoners had been tried, and said they considered the
verdict was right. He should make • difference in the
cases of the two prisoners, but still be should pass a severe
sentence to deter others from the commission of such
' offences. The sentence upon Suter was imprisonment and
hard labour for nine months, and Coulson fm sia months.
Suter wished before he left the dock to say that be never
represented that the cases were ball marked, but only gold.
The Judge said that point had already been settled by
the jury.
The prisoners were then removed to the cells.

THE DEFECTIVE JURY LISTS.

The Deputy Assistant-ifedgs made some observations
upon the defective state of the jury lists. Out of shoat
70 persons summoned only 35 were qualified to serve.
Great delay was also experienced in making up that
number. One of the gentlemen fell down in a fit upon
his name being called out. Ho was examined by Dr.
Marsh, of St. John-street, who ordered his removal home
at once.

OPENING OF THE FRENCH
CHAMBERS.-(THIS DAY.)

THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH.

At the moment of going to press we have re-
ceived, through Messrs. Reuter's agency, the
commencement of the speech delivered by the
Emperor Napoleon in person at the opening of
the chiunbers. We shall give the whole speech
immediately after it has come to hand. His
Majesty states that he has called the
senators and deputies together earlier than
usual, partly on account of recent events, which
have caused him to experience the wish
to avail himself of their sagacity and assistance.
His Majesty goes on to say that it is necessary to
accept frankly the changes that have taken place
upon the other aide of the Rhine.

ITALY AND ROME.

The Italie of Florence says that grave dissen-
sions have already arisen between the commander
of the French corps of occupation and the Ponti-
fical government. " A French general," it adds,
" may easily be understood to feel a repugnance to
give his support to the reactionary measures which
the Holy Bee wishes to put in force."
The Italian Minister of War has addressed the
following circular despatch to the commanders of
divisions :

A rumour was designedly spread and propagated by some
journals that the government had ordered the with-
drawal of the troops from the Pontifical territory in con-
sequence of an ultimatum from France demanding their
recall. This assertion is absolutely false ; and I have the
honour, in the name of the government, to inform you of
it, begging you to bring the fact to the knowledge of the
troops under your orders. You will please to add that
the King's government, as Jealous a guardian as any one
of the national honour, would not have failed to safeguard
it by all means if any premium had been exercised on the
deliberation of the government by another power.
A communication from Florence, in the Sentaine
Financiere, says :

The King is said to be greatly excited, which fact has
given rise to the ridiculous rumour that his reason was
affected. The statements that he was about to abdicate
have no doubt greatly irritated him. He will not hear of
such a project, and • plot with ramifications at Paris is
said to have been formed with the object of forcing him to
quit the throne. He is consequently in such • state of
mind that be might be led to commit some rash act, when he
found that he had an army behind him. There is a general
belief that at the moment when the change of ministry oc-
curred he was decided on a rupture with France. Every-
thing was ready, even the proclamation, which the King had
signed. The generals, however, explained to him that he
bad neither man, horses, guns, nor powder, and that he
would be exposing himself to • oertain defeat. The mi-
nistry is delaying the meeting of parliament as long as it
can. The cabinet knows well that if it cannot announce
that the intervention is at an end, and that consequently
Italy has the keys of Rome in her hands, it will be °ler-
thrown by the first vote.

The working men's societies of Italy have pub-
lished a protest against the arrest of Garibaldi.
The general has sent them the following letter in
reply : " Varignano, Nov. B.—My friends,—My
warmest and most sincere thanks for your words.
Remember, however, that it is not in the direction
of Varignano you ought to turn your looks and
thoughts, but towards Rome. Remind our friends
and the whole Italian people of this.—Yours ever,
GARIBALDI."
