TO THE WORMY FREEMEN ELEOFORB OF MD WARD OF

Gentlemen,—lt is now within a few weeks of eight years
since I had the honour of being unanimously elected to
the high and important position of alderman of the ward
of Bridge. During the whole of that time my dear wife
has been confined to her bed by serious IMBiction, and I
have waited patiently and hopefully, trusting that it would
please God to restore her to health and activity. The
period is now fast approaching when in the ordinary
amine of succession I should be elected to the chief
magistracy of this great City, but as the continued illness
of Mrs. Abbiss would render it impoesible for her to dis-
charge the duties of Lady Mayoress, or even to be removed
to the Mansion-house, lam compelled to resign into your
hands the important office
.you committed to my trust. I
have not arrived at this decision without mature reflection,
nor can I sever this connection with my kind friends of
the Ward of Bridge (between whom and myself mutual
confidence and esteem have always existed) without ex-
pressing my warmest thanks for the courtesy and kindness
which have ever been evinced towards me. The regret
of officially separating myself from you lain some measure
mitigated by the thought that I shall dill live amongst
you, in Um ward where I have resided for more than thirty
years, and by the hope that although I cannot serve you
as your alderman, I shall never cease to be considered as
your friend.—l am, gentlemen, yours faithfully,

JAmta ABBISS.

Alderman Abbias invited the common council of his ward
to dine with him at the Albion last evening, when the
foregoing intention was announoed.

impossible to continue the proceedings in conse-
quent* of violent popular manifestations on the

Cataret, and in consequence of this decision an
understanding was come to between K Fazy and
the conservative party in Geneva against the corn-
mitten whose proposals have been adopted by the

against those proposals induced the president to
put on his hat, and subsequently to declare the
sitting at end.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK:LLNE.-(1M18.D#Y:)

Coastwise, as well as by rail, the arrivals of wheat from
Ess.a and Kent were limited. There was a moderate at-
tendance of buyers, and the trade for both red and white
parcels was very firm, whilst factors, in many instances,
demanded more money.
The market was fairly, but not extensively, supplied
with foreign wheat. The demand was steady, and all good
and fine qualities were held for higher rates.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded a good deal of at-
tention, and the late advanoe was in every case well
supported.
The quantity of barley on offer, both English and foreign,
was small. All descriptions moved off freely, at Monday's
improvement in value.
Malt was in moderate request, on former terms. The
supply was seasonably extensive.
In oats sales progressed steadily, and prioes ruled firm.
The supply was moderate.
Beans and peas were firm, and quite as dear.
Flour commanded the recent advance, with a healthy
inquiry.
Linseed and rapeseed were steady. Agricultural seeds
generally changed hands to a fair extent. Cakes ruled
quiet.

PARIS, TUESDAY Ear SO.

The return of the Emperor to Paris is said to be
fixed from the 12th to the 13th inst. The Empe-
ror Francis Joseph is expected in the capital about
the 25th. The Empress, it is reported, will not
accompany his Majesty, on account of the state of
her health.

M. Reuher, Minister of State and of Finance,
left Biarritz on Saturday, and is expected in Pads
after a short viait to his son-in-law, M. Welles de
Lavalette. M. de Lavalette, Minister of the
Interior, has also quitted Biarritz and returned to
his estate at Cavalerie. Ho was expected in the

at the imperial residence on Friday to see the
r Emperor relative to some affairs of his department,
The Governor of the Credit Fonder is also at Bier_
ritz, and will leave to-day or to-morrow with M.
Haussmann.

There seems to be now but little doubt about the
opening of the session in November. Journals
more or less in the confidence of the government
affirm it, and state that besides the forwarding pf
other measures the budget is already in an
vanced stage of preparation to be laid before the
Legislative Body, who will be in a position this
year to deal with the bill on the general finances
' of the country.
IM. Emile Faure, of the Soleil, has appealed
against the judgment of the Court, and will be
supported as before by his advocate M. Fontaine
de Rambouillet.

Now that so much is turning upon the engage-
ments entered into and the construction put upon
the convention of the 15th of September, 1864, I
may as well lay before your readers the text of that
important document, which is very short :

Art. I.—ltaly binds herself not to attack the actual
territory of the Holy Father, and to prevent, even by force,
every attack coming from the interior against the said
territory.
Art. 2.—Francewill withdraw her troops from the ponti-
fical states by degrees, and in proportion se the army of
the Holy Father shall be organised. The evacuation shall
nevertheless be complete within the period of two years.
Art. 3.—The Italian government will make no complaint
against the orgenimation of a papal army, composed even
of foreign catholic volunteers, sufficient to maintain the
authority of the Holy Father and tranquillity both in the
interior and on the frontier of the Stake—pros:dad that

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WaRynctt, Dec. 2.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
John Darin, 35, maltster, was indicted for having, at
Stratford-upon-Avon, on the 25th of October, feloniously
wounded Jane Ward, with intent to do her grievous
bodily harm.
The Hon. E. C. Leigh prosecuted, and Mr. Dugdale de-
fended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner, with his two sisters, re-
sided in a court in Stratford-upon-Avon, the proeecuirix
being a neighbour. For some months the prisoner and
his family laboured under the most extraordinary delu-
sions. They persisted in a belief that visits had been
made to them in various shapes by individuals in a bodily
form, and that some one had bewitched them. One young
girl, who happened to be an invalid, and was obliged to re-
clineon a sofa, declared that a man and a woman came down
the chimney headless, and seizing her by the body, cast
her violently on the ground, and then tossed her in the
air, after which they took up the sofa she had lain upon,
and went through a similar feat with it. After a time
the family came to the conclusion that it was the prose-
cutrix who had bewitched them, and the only way to break
the spell was to draw the first blood from her. On the
evening of the 25th Oct. the prisoner's two sisters began
quarrelling with the prosetutrix, and called her a old
witch. The prisoner then came up, and suddenly pouncing
upon 'the poor creature, seized her firmly and inflicted •
frightful gash, with a penknife on her left cheek. The
wound was an inch deep and three inches long. Having
done this, the whole family felt relieved, and assured their
neighbours that " the spell was broken" as the following
day they slept well and undisturbed, which they bad not
done whilst the witch wasleft unexorcised. When taken
into custody, a penknife with blood upon it was found in
the prisoner.■ possession, and he told the officer it served
the prosecutrix right, as she bad bewitched them. He
bad drawn the first blood,and she could not further hurt
them.
. . . . . .

--
Witnesses were called, who clearly deposed to the
above facts, and the jury found the prisoner Guilty.
His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to eighteen calendar
months' imprisonment, with bard labour, and in doing so
said the case evidently arose out of a foolish superstition,
which he bad hoped had ceased to be entertained by
people in every civilised nation on the face of the earth.
If the prisoner had not received a good character, be
should have sentenced him to a long term of penal ser-
vitude.
London, England, 1867-12-03

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Henry Frederick Selby, a most respectable•looking man,
and described as a commercial traveller, was indicted for
embezzling the several sums of 31. sa. 6d., 2/. la 6d., and
41. 17s. 6d., received by him for and on account of Robert
Frederick Rotting, his master. There were three other
indictments against him for embezzlements, amounting in
the aggregate to 401. Although the prisoner was only
indicted for the embezzlement of the comparatively small
sums named in the several indictments, yet from subsequent
inquiries it was ascertained that the total ram of which
the prisoner had robbed his employer amounted to up-
wards of GOO/. .
. . .

The prosecutor is a spirit merchant, carrying on business
in High-street, Marylebone, and the prisoner was for some
time in his cirri°e as traveller, and it wee his duty to
receive money from the customers and pay it over daily to
his employer. His position was one entirely of trait, and
to offer him every reason to act with fidelity to his em-
ployer, he was paid the liberal salary of 3t. per week,
together with board and lodging, andlwhen he waited
upon customers, be had the use of a horse and trap, and
?As. per day were allowed him to cover incidental expenses.
The Assistant Judge said when a fit case came before
the court it was its duty to pass a severe sentence, and if
they were to wait for seven years they could not have a
more fitting case than the one then before them to 'notify
the court in doing so. Here was a man with a of
31. a week, besides board and lodging, and he had not
scarcely to do but act honestly ; but instead of doing so
he had robbed his employer to the extent of about 900/.
The 'court trusted that this would be held out to others as
lan example by the sentence he was then about to pro-
' neunce, which was that the prisoner be kept in penal ser-
vitude for five years.

TERRIBLE CYCLONE IN BENGAL

1,000 LIVES LOST AT CALCUTTA AND 30,000

RUTS DESTROYED.
(RLUTZ:OI sitzaams.)
CALCUTTA, Nov. 9.
(Via Trieste.)
On the night of Friday, the Ist inst., a cyclone
raged in Bengal, extending according to present
information from the Bay northward to Serazguni,
westward to Midnopore and Burdwan, eastward
to Burnaanl and Dacca.

The rice crops throughout the track visited by
the cyclone are greatly injured. In many places
it is estimated that not one-fourth will be saved.
Many buildings have been destroyed, as also boats
on the inland rivers laden with jute and
grain. Large quantities of the growing jute
have also been destroyed. Great damage has been
done at Port Canning. A storm-wave nearly six
feet high carried away a portion of the river bank
jetties ; the railway is much injured and the station
destroyed. At Calcutta the cyclone lasted nearly
eight hours. It is estimated that it has done more
damage to the city than the great cyclone of Octo-
ber, 1864. In the city suburbs more than 1,000
lives have been ascertained to have been lost, and
30,000 native huts destroyed. Tugs and other
vessels have been wrecked at Saugor. Several
vessels are missing and numerous ships are return-
ing disabled; more than 600 native boats have been
destroyed. The steam transport Euphrates has
put in at Calcutta to refit, greatly injured. At
Burdwan much distress has been occasioned among
the native population. The telegraph line along
the Ganges has been thrown down. In Bengal
great distress is reported.
The Bengal government is actively engaged in
taking measures for the relief of the sufferers ; the
Board of Revenue is co-operating with it. The
Famine Relief committee are collecting funds.

the government will double the amount of the sub-
scriptions raised. The Chamber of Commerce has
issued an appeal for subscriptions.

The Bengal government has recommended to the
supreme government that an agent of the Eastern
Bengal Railway should be authorised to make an
engineering survey, with a view to the extension of
the railway from All= to Darjeeling. The Vice-
roy has submitted the question to the home
government.

The Viceroy holds a Council at Calcutta on the

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

Though the aspect of affairs in Italy is still full of doubt
and danger, the Times believes that the French govern-
ment wish to show that it is not against, but in favour of
Italy, that France is about to wage war. War is to be
waged against the revolution, and the very 'Reece of the
telegraph about Garibaldi's doings may be taken as decisive
as to the hopelessness of his position. The important
point of the advance of the Italian troops into the Pontifical
territory seems yet unsettled between Florence and the
Court of the Tuileries. Were the Italians to carry that
point, they would have little to apprehend either from the
temporary presence of the French at itoine or from •
reference of the Papal question to • congress.
The Daily Ners observes that Bavaria would find a posi-
tion out of the Zollverein perfectly untenable, and the
course taken by the majority of the Upper Chamber shows
Bavaria to be governed by • provincial spirit. The king-
dom is too small to stand alone in these days, and an ap-
proximation to Austria would be regarded by all Germany
as an unpatriotic attempt to restore the old dualism of
the two power. It is instructive to notice the calmness
and patience with which the Prussian government looks
down upon this hesitation and delay. Deliberately and on
principle Count Bismarck declinesSto do anything to
hasten the movements of South Germany. He sees that
all the vital forces of the nation ►re working for him and
with him.

According to the Standard the defence of the Papacy is
far from being the entirely thankless task some people
immune. It may not pay ; the costs and the embarrass-
ments may far outweigh the credit ; but it is quite certain
that the position the Emperor holds, as the protector of
the successor of St. Peter, does bring him some prestige
and power, and as, by taking Austria and Spain into part-
nership, he would share with them the prestige and not
the burden of the protection, he will probably in the end
elect to preserve in his own hands the guardianship of the
Papacy-

Judging, the Star says, from the menaces of the
Moniteur, and the reports which it has received, all the
French people have not adopted the idea of their honour
being involved, and it might have been wiser in Napoleon
to pay more heed to the interests of Frames at home than
the claims of that "catholic world" which desires to see
the catholic* of Rome oppressed by a priest-king,
