THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1866.

GiRMANY.

The Times remarks that so far as the primes are
concerned, Germany presents, after the close of the Anstro-
Prussian war, a more inharmonious and disproportionate
community than it ever did even in the worst days of the
Frankfort Bund ; but the nation itself has made an im-
mense step in advance. It has found a head and
a centre, and Prussia has more than doubled its
material power by the improvement in its geographical
sod military position, and more than quadrupled it
by the renown of its military organisation, by the
steadiness of its financial credit, and by the well-tried
cohesion between its government and its people.
Count Bismarck has given of late no little offence by his
measures against the press and other signs of an arbitrary
disposition, but it is only right to point to the exceptional
and extremely difficult circumstances with which he has
to contend. Had the King and his minister applied to
the nation for even dictatorial powers until the constitu-
tion of the new confederation was thoroughly wrought
out, they would have asked no more than King Victor
Emmanuel and Count Cavour readily obtained from Pied-
mond and Italy tinder analogous cireumstanoes. Prussia
and Germany, like Piedmont and Italy, are " winning
their spun" in the battle of constitutionalism and nation-
ality. It is impossible for us to look upon their struggle
without interest, not to invest ourselves with all their
hopes and fears, with all their loves and hatreds ; yet
we should never forget that our position is that of mere
lookers-on. It behoves us to be anxious to observe, slow
to judge.

The Prince Imperial, we are informed by La
Patric, goes out at 10 every morning, attended by his
tutor, M. Monnier, to take his swim at Port-Vieux. He
is always received by a crowd of children, with whom he
shakes hands and chats for a few minutes. Miss Shaw, his
English nurse, however, takes possession of him, and he dis-
appears into his bathing-box, whence he emerges in short
black flannel drawers and a scarlet flannel jacket. His
swimming-master watches his proceedings from the beach,
and gives him directions. The Empress usually comes
down to the beach to see him bathe, and takes a seat
under some trees. As soon as the Prince is dressed he
plays for an hour on the sands with any children who
happen to be there.
It is reported from Bucharest that a Frenchman,
named Poltin, had arrived in that city to exhibit two
elephants, a male and female, the same which were shown
1n Paris a few years since. These animals have killed
their keeper in a singular manner. The male seised him
with his trunk and threw him into the air ; the female
caught him as be fell and threw him back again, and this
game at ball was continued for a quarter of an hour. When
as ilitant:4i arrived it was too late ; every bone in the poor
fellowb body was brakes.

COURT OF COMMOR COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.

A Court of Common Council was holden this
morning, and after the proceedings had been opened, Mr.
MEDWIN said he wished to ask the Chairman of the Law
and Parliamentary Committee two or three questions in
reference to the inquiry th►t bad been submitted relating
to the conduct of one of their judges, Mr. Commis-
sioner Kerr. (Hear, hear.) He said he had heard that
the committee intended to ask that the reference might
be discharged. (Cries of "Oh, oh," and laughter.)
Mr. Cox, on the part of the committee, denied that
there was any intention to adopt such a proceeding.(Hear.)
Mr. Mantels( then said that he should be glad to be in-
formed when the court were likely to have a report pm-
' canted to them ; also whether a shorthand-writer was
employed to take notes ; and, thirdly, whether it was in-
structed to lay a copy of the shorthand writer's notes
before the court, with the report?
Mr. Caatterr, the Chairman of the Law sad Parlia-
mentary Committee, said that in reply to the questions
that had been put, all he could say was that the com-
mittee were proceeding as rapidly as possible—that they
were hearing the evidence that was volunteered b 7 any
person who was in a position to give the committee infor-
mation, and the report would be printed as soon as pos-
sible.
The matter then dropped.

The widow of Ferdinand Flown, one of the
members of the provisional government, who died last
year in Switzerland a voluntary exile, is living in Paris
in straitened circumstances. Some functionary waited
upon her a day or two since to tender a pension, prmided
she would only ask for it. But it seems this lady has in-
herited the uncompromising republican spirit of her hus-
band, for she flatly declined not only to apply for, but to
accept the pension even if it were unconditionally offered
her.

Last session 26 select committees sat on election
petitions ; 66 were presented, and 32 withdrawn.

ROME.

According to a correspondence in the &bele the
reactionary party are once more triumphant in the
Papal Court. Even the Osserratore Romano, which
cannot be suspected of liberaliam,only escaped sup-
pression through the formal opposition of the Pope
himself. Monsignor X—, the censor of the
paper, has been dismissed and sent into a convent
to make a long retreat. Signor Zanelli, the
' chief editor, was sent for by the Secretary of
State, and after a severe reprimand was
ordered to leave Rome as soon as possible.
He has been replaced by Signor Canzoni, a bar-
rister, who figured at the Congress of Melina, and
is completely in the hands of the Jesuits. The
Pope is said to be disposed to make concessions,
but he is overruled by the Cabal, which is presided
over by Cardinal Antonelli, and Signors Berardi
Ferrari, &c.

STATE OF PEKIN.

We extract the following from a Pekin letter of
July 1, in the Moniteur:
Crimes have never been more frequent in the capital,
and amanita on private persons have assumed a moot
frightful character. Pekin is at this moment infested by
a band of malefactors, who earl/ off children
and young women. The Chinese relate that the
bandits, to effect their object more easily, use a
stupefying powder by means of which they send their
victims to sleep. They afterwards transport them be-
yond the walls of Pekin to haunts unknown to the
police, and put them to death if they cannot obtain
hisav ransoms from their families. These facts have
occurred often enough to spread terror among all classes
of the population ; and the court, report says, is
much pro-occupied with the subject. The superior
magistrate Toeu-kuo bas recently made a report to the
Sovereign, in which he demands that the crime of abduc-
tion shall be assimilated to that of robbery with violence,
and punished in the same manner. Unfortunately the
central government is just as little capable of re-establish-
ing security in the capital as of making its authority re-
spected in the provinces. We find a proof of this in the
news we receive from different points of the empire.

THE NEW FRANCO-MEXICAN
CONVENTION.

PARIS. Sspr. 13.

The Moniteur of this morning publishes a con-
vention, signed at the City of Mexico, on July 30,
1866, by which the Mexican government transfers
to the French government one half of the receipts
of all the maritime customs in the Empire, in order
to serve as payment of the interest and principal
of the loans contracted in 1864 and 1865,
and of all obligations resulting therefrom ; like-
wise for the payment of interest at the rate
of 3 per cent. on all sums due by Mexico
to the French Treasury. The amount of this
latter debt, which is approximately valued at
1 350 million francs, will subsequently be defini-
tively fixed. This convention will enter into
force from November 1, 1868. The export duties
in the Customs of the Pacific being already
mortgaged for three-fourths of the value, the
amount to be ceded to the French government
will be reduced to the 25 per cent. remaining
over.

THE POSITION OP =GLAND.

Returning to the German criticisms u to the alleged
decline of England's power, which were noticed yesterday,

the Daily New mentions various

which it

is incumbent upon as to consider, and which are carefully
noted by our foreign censors. The Austra colonies,
which are oar glory, are not favourites with our goveraing
classes, and a wise and honest governor, who has main-
tained the old principles of the British constitution with
respect to taxation, is in disgrace, to the profound dis-
couragement of as generous and loyal a body of colonists
as ever existed. In Jamaica, a governor seizes his chief
political opponent, and takes his life without ;ti:al,
and indiscriminately slaughters a population r 'ter
all pretence of danger has ceased. He is not
dismissed, but indirectly withdrawn from his poet.
India has become a vast school in which Englishmen forget
' the maxims of constitutional liberty, and from which they
return to leaven society with those of despotic government.
It is not the " empire" nor our colonial administration
that can impress foreigners either with the power or wis-
dom of Great Britain. Nothing has lowered us more in
the eyes of foreigners than our having failed to provide
ourselves with a navy. The delusion that money could do
everything, and the blind and exaggerated confidence
posed in Lord Palmerston during his last period of office,
are responsible for this. But that which more than ►ll
else impresses our neighbours with our helplessness is the
utter disorganisation which they perceive among us.
The astounding mistakes of judgment into which our go-
verning classes as a body fell during the American war
have left a lasting impression abroad, yet a leading con-
temporary still tells the British public day by day that
every nation in the world is waiting for its judgment In
our domestic affairs lookers on see nothing but confusion.
Our educated classes are setting up the system of a Napo-
leon or a Bismarck, or even of an Eyre, as superior to the
British constitution, for which men of wealth show the'•
contempt by bribery in its most shameless forms. Heaven
only knows how all this dangerous confusion will en& but
at present, with administrative imbecility, untaught by
recent misfortunes, with classes on the verge of social
war, with a million of paupers, and our people still un-
educated, we have much to do before we can expct to
recover our old power to fascinate mankind.

THE EDUCATION DEBATE.

The Times agrees with speakers at the late
meeting of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire clergy.
men and schoolmasters, that education in this country does
not advance, even if it has not actually retrograded, and
thinks we shall never have education universally diffused
among the people until it is made compulsory on every
parent to send his child to school, and until further re-
strictions are placed upon the employment of children.
Until this time arrives, however, the philanthropic
endeavours of all sorts and conditions of men ought to be
strongly encouraged ; and surely the rely worst way to do
this is to fetter those who establish schools with unneces-
sary conditions as indispensable to the receipt of govern-
ment assistance. It continually happens that a well-edu-
cated man is found for schoolmaster who yet is not certifi-
cated. 'Why should not the school over which he presides
receive its share of assistance from the State like its neigh-
bours ? But these are comparatively small questions, and
the legislature must prepare to deal with the whole subject
more vigorously and in a larger spirit.
The Daily beta notes the singular agreement of nearly
all those of our public men who have had any part in ad-
ministering the parliamentary grants for educational pur-
poses as to the miserable deficiency of our present way of
meeting the requirements of the people. Mr. Bruce's
statement that the subject has never thoroughly possessed
itself of the public mind is perfectly true. The announce-
ment of a falling off in the exports of British manufac-
tures would any day cause a more genuine and uni.
venal feeling of concern than that of a falling
off in the number of children attending school.
For generations past we have been getting to believe less
and leas in intelligence either as a means or an end.
Material prosperity as the goal, and rude energy as the
unfailing resource, have been the two first articles of our
unconfeseed creed. As long as the present low indolent
state of public feeling lasts it is idle to expect parliament
to do anything effectual. A great practical difficulty is in
I the fact that the episcopal clergy cannot divest themselves
of the notion that they have a divine right to be the edu-
cators of the children; but this will cease to be an obstacle
whenever the public shall awaken to a sense of the im-
portance of national education to society, aa well as of its
value to the individual child.

VIZ ANZRICAN ZLECIIONS.

The four States of Pennsylvania, lowa, Indiana, and
Ohio vote today, and the result will show deciaively the
exact condition of public opinion in the North. The Doily
News points out that whatever the issue now may be, Yr.
Johnson has but to yield to circumstances, to advise the
Southern States to accept the terms on which Congress
will admit them, and with their support in Congress he
will be in a position to stay any legislation which he and
his friends may think to be hostile to Southern interests,
A minority of SI acting together on an understanding with
the President could prevent his veto from being overruled.
The Southern States have suffered all through the struggle
from the judicial blindness induced by the habit at de.
fending an established wrong, refusing at every step easy
terms with their conqueror., and then compelled to accept
onerous ones. The constitutional amendment now offered
by Congress is one of the slightest conoessious ever
asked by a conqueror from hie defeated enemy,
and if it is hopelessly rejected, the Northern
people will ask for more, and a few years hence the con-
ditions will be altered. The Southerners may then have
a majority to contend against who will demand far harder
terms ; a President who represents that majority ; and a
people indignant at the delay. Instead of permitting them
to come back on the easy terms now offered, Congress may
then overhaul their constitutions, and refuse to accept
them as really republican, unless to the equal civil rights
which are demanded now there be added equal political
privileges for both white and black. This is not the pre-
sent policy of Congress, but there are many indications
that it may become its policy if resistance is kept up too
long.

THE EEPORN AGITATION.

The Telegraph and the Star refer to the demonstration
yesterday at Leeds, the former journal reproducing some
of Mr. Bright's sentences as comprising the essence of the
question. If, the Telegraph says, Mr. Gladstone is the
official leader of the national party in the House of Com-
mons, the member for Birmingham is its representative
below the gangway. Nay, so tar spread is the conviction
of his sincerity, so widely has his eloquence resounded
beyond the limits of the particular audiences that hung
upon his words, that even across the Channel our Irish
fellow-subjects ask his aid. Who can doubt, asks the
Star, that these vast meetings taken collectively represent
a mass of opinion, a strength of demand, a unanimity of
public feeling which no ministry dare ignore or resist 'I If
anyone were now to stand up in the House of Commons
and deny that the people demanded reform he must evi-
dently be speaking against his own convictions.
The Herald complains that Mr. Bright and his satellites
will not leave it alone, and proceeds to state in detail
what the misrepresentations are. The hon. member for
Birmingham is then referred to as " the demagogue" and
" this Mr. Bright," and one of his late speeches am contain-
ing " a farrago of truculent wickedness."
The Post still declares that reform meetings in the north
are organized to overawe and intimidate the legislature,
and are therefore illegal and mischievous, though it may
be wise to tolerate the agitation. Mr. Brand's letter is
highly praised by the Post, which thinks it may not be
impossible to bring in a conservative Reform Bill, which
could not be opposed as illusory by any one who voted for
the bill of 1869.

MR. ALFRED MELLON'S CONCERTS.

- -
The concert of last night was one of the very beet
of the season. The performances were selected chiefly
from the works of Rossini ; and the programme was so
constructed as to display with much judgment and effect
the beauties of that great master.

Drama.

STRAND.

Most of our popular tragedies and dramas, not
excepting some of the masterpieces of Shakespeare, have
been travestied during the last twenty years, and our bur-
lesque writers, probably finding this material exhausted,
have for some time pest devoted their talents to making
fun of our leading operas. The lastrictim is Carl Maria Von-
Weber, to give him his full title, whose romantic master
piece, Der FreystAiitz, has at length been selected by Mr. F.
C. Remand for comic treatment. This new version of the
great German opera was produced at the Strand
Theatre last night, with burlesque music, burlesque
scenery, and burlesque dresses. Mr. F. C. Burnand's writ-
ing is always more remarkable for great literary ingenuity
than broad humour, and this quality distinguishes his
Der PreyarAnaz. Mr. Frank Musgrave has ably seconded
him in the music, and the actors, one and all, have helped
him most effectually in the acting. Mews. Thorne, Fen.
ton, and James are all fitted with parts in which they can
exercise their power of extravagant acting to the utmost,
and they are aided by a new recruit at this house in the
person of young Mr. Robson. Mr. Robson appears to be
rather uncertain at present how far he shall or Asa not
walk in the footsteps of his late lamented father, and
we hope to see him before long in sound farces and do.
mestic dramas. Miss Ada Swanborough and Miss Rayn.
ham play Agnes end Zamiel with great spirit, and Min
E. Johnstone is a pleasant Kilian.
The French dangers at the Princess's are mimicked
somewhat heavily, and the overdone melodramatic horrors
of the incantation scene are very properly ridiculed. The
burlesque is put upon the stage with great completeness,
and was received with every mark of satisfaction.

OCR PO/LEIGH POLICY.

Putting aside as absurd the rumours which it has beard
are current on the Continent of English complicity in
Greek and Sicilian insurrections, the Times proceeds to
defend the foreign policy of England since 1815 from the
attacks of certain accomplished English essayists.
Wh►t we have done for others, through acts of self-
denial, has not always been of service to them.
It is fir from certain as yet that either the Greeks or the
Imam will count the abandonment of the Wands as a
real gain, but as to Gibraltar, Malta, and other mere dots
en the map of the world, even if we were confiding enough,
as the essayists referred to contend we should be, to sue.

THE POLICE COURTS.

CLERICENWELL.
William Joseph Bailey, a boot riveter, of 11, Brasier's-
buildings, Farringdon-street, was charged with being dis-
orderly and assaulting Police-eonstable Harrod, 201 0, in
the execution of his duty.
Police-sergeant Aunger, 18 G, handed in the following
certificate :
"St. John-street-road, Oct. 4, 1866.
" I certify that Harrod, police-constable, 201 G division,
has received a severe contusion over the angle of the jaw
and forehead, which will disable him from duty for some
time. "WILLIAM TAYLOR, Surgeon."
Polioe-constable Harrod, 201 G, who appeared very ill,
said that about 20 minutes past 12 on Ektturday night or
Sunday morning he saw the prisoner strike 445 Aon the
back. He went up to his brother constable's assistance,
when the prisoner jumped round and said, "If you lay
your bands on me I will break your jaw." With that the
prisoner jumped behind him, struck him a violent blow
under the jaw, and knocked him down. The blow was
given with such foroe that it rendered him insensible, and
when he came to he found himself supported by two gen-
tlemen, who told him that the prisoner was in custody.
He was still very weak and iIL
Mr. Barker—How did you get the cut on your face and
head
Witness—l fell on my face, and I don't know any more
of what took place.
In answer to questions from the prisoner, the constable
said he did not push him or knock him about, and added
that on account of the continual disturbances in Cow
Cross-street, an extra constable had been put on there.
Police-constable Hodge, 445 A, said he saw the prisoner
knock the constable down and then run away. He got the
assistance of a gentleman, and took the prisoner into cus-
tody. The prisoner struck the gentleman in the eye, and
blackened it. The prisoner had previously hit him in the
back.
The prisoner said he did not wish to make any defence
at present.
Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for a week.

OPENING OF THE EGYPTIAN CHAMBER,

CAIRO, Nov.., Evy.xiNG.

The Viceroy, in his speech at the opening of the
Egyptian Chamber, reminded the delegates that
his grandfather had put an end to the disorder
which prevailed in Egypt, restored public security,
and founded institutions which assure to the
country a prosperous future. "My father," he
added, " continued the work which had thus been
begun, aiming at the creation of an order of things
in harmony with the state of modern society. Since
my accession the constant object of my thoughts
has been the development of public prosperity. I
often thought of establishing a representative
council to consider all important questions
of an exclusively internal character. Such
an institution possesses great advantages, con-
stituting a safeguard and a protection of all
interests. I have great satisfaction in now open-
ing this council, and thank Providence for having
permitted me to perform so solemn an act. I con-
fide in your wisdom and in your patriotic senti-
ments. ➢lay God assist our efforts. In Him let
us place our trust."

THE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-STREET,

Gen.ve Frederic Ni mina, mean-looking man,
pock-marked, end shabbily dressed, was charged with
stealing forty-four letters from the pillar letter-box Pall-
mall, uear the Army and Navy Club.
M-. Peacock, who appeared to prosecute for the Poet-
office, observed that this was a case of the greatest impor-
tar ce to the public. There had Leen numerous complaints
of the loss of letters po.ted at the pillar-boxes, and
especially at the one in Pall-mall, where the letters of the
Army and Navy Club are usually posted. An investiga-
tion was instituted, and resulted in the4sletection of the
prisoner in the act of opening the Pall-mall pillar-box with
a false key, which was taken from him by the officers, and
now produced.
Brigham and &nee, the two police officers attached to
Poet-office, were then called to prove these circumstances.
About 9 o'clock on Friday evening they saw the page-boy
from the Army and Navy club drop in a cumber of letters
into the pillar-box. Directly after he bad left, the pri-
sone,. went up, carrying a white pocket handkerchief,
which he held up to his mouth. He passed the box back-
wards
and forwards about six or seven times. He then
opened the box with a key, placed a bag at the bottom of
the pillar, and shot the letters into it and waked away,
having first locked the door of the box. There were no
less than 44 letters found on the prisoner. He declined
to give his address, and the officers took Lim into custody.
In his pocket there was a small memorandum book, and
fivepence in coppers. On Thursday night the prisoner
was observed walking up and down in the immediate
vicinity of the Army and Navy club looking at the box.
Mr. Peacock applied for a remand, and it was granted.

" A moat curious sight is witnessed," writes a cor-
respondent, " directly a large steamer arrives in Southamp-
ton Water. The moment she comes to her moorings a flock
of about two hundred stuegulls hover about her, to pick
up the serape of bread, meat, and offal that are thrown
overboard. These birds form • colony that live on the
outward and homeward bound monster steamers that are
dailyl in Southampton Water. They breed in the
Isle of Wight cliffs, and roost about the Southampton
shores. Their gyrations in the air, their pugneci.y, the
swiftness with which they swoop down on • piece of bread
or meat, and the dexterity with which they pick it up as
they skim along the water, form an interesting and ani-
mating sight.'
Three deaths from diarrbas were registered it
London on Friday last. There were again none from
ehelers.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

Thomns Chetir pad, money-taker at the Theatre Royal
Haymarket, and James Swift, check•taker, were charged
before Mr. Knox with embezzling money belonging to
their employer, Mr. John Baldwin Bucketone, the lessee.
Chetwynd was further charged with stealing five copper
checks.
Mr. Charles Wright, the treasurer of the Haymarket,
said the prisoners were employed by Mr. Buckstone,
Chetwynd as one of the money-takers, and Swift as a
check-taker. They had both been engaged at the theatre for
some years. About 160 checks were daily issued to Chet-
wynd, the money-taker at the dress-circle. Every applicant
for a seat on payment of his money received one of the metal ,
checks, such as those now produced. From something
which transpired his supicions were aroused, and he
marked the metal tickets and gave them to the prisoner
Chetwynd. In the regular course of business the checks
given by Chetwynd would be handed to Swift, who would
place them in the check-box, and the box would be given
up to him the same evening. When the box was brought to
witness by Swift he discovered six checks in the box with-
out marks. On Saturday, the 29th Nov., Webb, C 112,
marked more checks, and he, witness, gave them to Chet-
wynd. On examining the box the same evening when
brought to him by Swift he found five checks without
any mark on them. He then gave the prisoners into
custody.
Remanded.

HUNGARY.

PESTII, DEc. I.

To-day, in the Lower House of the Hungarian
Diet, the debate was commenced upon the address
to the Emperor in reply to the Imperial Rescript.
M. Tisza made a speech in support of the
draught submitted by him to the house. Other
speakers of the Left opposed any compromise
[ with the government's policy of delay, which, they
declared, placed in jeopardy the existence of the
monarchy. Baron Eotvos spoke in favour of the
address proposed by M. Deak. M. Honvath,
in a speech which was very well received
by the house, urged that in the interest
of the Hungarian nation a compromise should
be effected with the government. He also
expressed the hope that a compromise would be
facilitated by the knowledge that the monarchy
and the reigning dynasty would find in a loyal
Hungary their firmest support. At the conclusion
of his speech M. Honvath was congratulated by
many members of the Deak party.
The debate will be resumed on Monday. The
adoption of M. Deak's address is considered
certain.
