The members of the Hungarian Diet have already
commenced holding conferences. It is considered
certain that the Diet will refuse to accept the de-
mands contained in the royal rescript, if the ru-
mours current relative to its.oontenta be confirmed.

THE BRAZILS.
(By Telegraph from Lisbon.)
MONTEVIDEO, Ocr. 17.

According to despatches received here from
Paraguayan sources, the defeat at Curupaity has
caused complete disunion among the leaders of the
Triple Alliance. General Flores has been in this
city since the 29th Sept. Senor Almeida, the
Brazilian commissioner, has left the seat of war,
and gone to Rio de Janeiro, without touching
at Buenos Ayres. General Mitre has evacuated
Curuzu, and left with the rest of the army for
Tuguty. He had refused to avail himself of the
Brazilian transports offered by General Tamandare
for the conveyance of his troops. No fresh enter-
prise has been attempted by the Brazilian fleet
which is stationed at Curuzu.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

THE POSTAGE RATES TO FRANCE.
The Post points out the anomalies and inconve
nience of the rate of postage between this country and
France. Owing to the difference between the two stan-
dards a letter weighing anything between 7.086 grammes
and 7'50 grammes is chargeable with just twice as much
postage in London as it is in Paris. Such a letter if posted
and paid for in Paris would cost 4d., and if posted un-
paid would, on arriving in London, pay 101., or four times
as much. 0, on the other hand, it were posted and paid
for in London, the cost would be Bd., and if posted un.
paid, it would on arriving in Paris pay Bd., or
precisely the same sum. A penalty in the shape
of increased charge is always supposed to be inflicted for
the omission to prepay letters, but in the instances re-
ferred to it is levied in a singular way ; for it appears
that, while a penalty of four times the oliginal postage is
indeed inffic'ed on the French, no penalty at all is
inflicted on the English. The French office, it appears,
has offered to abandon altogether the two standards of
oz. and 71 grammes, end to adopt a common standard of
10 grammes. The English office met this by a proposition
to double the standards on both sides, the effect of which,
would, of course, have been to double the difference
between them, and consequently to double the difficulty
and disadvantage under which the French now labour. The
only modification of this proposal to which it would consent
was that the French should be allowed to write to the ex-
tent of 10 grammes and the English to the extent of ioz., or
nearly half as much again. Since the rejection of these
two schemes, the matter appears to have been relegated
into sleep, but it is too important to be allowed to remain
in a state of official coma much longer. This much at
least is clear, says the Post, that any day the English
office chooses to consent, the weight of letters to and from
France will be raised from loz. to 10 grammes, or upwards
of 33 per cent, awl no good reason has yet been given for
withholding that consent.
London, England, 1866-11-28

THE YENIANS.

...-
Observing that the effect would be most pernicious if by
any fault of the executive a oompauionate sympathy with
the Fenian. were awakened in this country, the Daily
News adds the remark that if anything could conduce to
such a result it would be such a dereliction of duty, such
an indulgence of military license, as the Times fore-
shadowed and almo,t invited yesterday in an
article on this subject. That a stern repression
of rebellion will prove the truest mercy all
Englishmen believe, but the Daily News protests
against predictions which assume that our soldiers cannot
be sent to put down insurrection without showing them-
selves demons in human shape. Let no incipient Brand
or Ramsay imagine as be reads these incitements that be
is free to repeat the devilry of Jamaica or Delhi in Ireland.
Governments exist for the very purpose of repreuiug
evil, and if they cannot restrain the passions of their su-
bordinates they are governments only in name. The sug-
gestion that the present government will be unable to put
down Feoianiam without turning Ireland into a Pande-
monium is wanton and injurious.
The Post tells the disaffected in Ireland that they may
see what they have to expect if they are led into insur-
rection, if they will look into the proceedings of the loyal-

lets in 1798-99. The yeomanry were numerous, power-
ful, and, as Lord Cornwallis said, " ferocious." Long
after the rebellion bad been stamped out, the work
of hanging, shooting, and burning went on in spite of
every effort on the part of the government to
prevent it. That which was compressed into weeks
in Jamaica during the late outbreak spread over mouths,
anti Ireland, to quote the words of its Lord Lieutenant at
the time, was subjected to a tyranny as intolerable as that
of Robespierre. 'rho vilest informers were hunted out of
the prisons, and the lives of suspected persons were sacri-
ficed on barefaced perjury. Such is the historical picture,
and we must not conceive that the feelings which it re-
veals are sensibly modified. When men are called upon
to fight for their existence they recognise the necessity,
and act upon it without considering clemency.
To-day, the Telegraph says, the 2Sth Regiment will leave
Aldershot for Ireland, and to-morrow the relnd Light In.
fantry will follow. With Mr. Stephens and his coadjutors
England might well leave the present Commander-in-Chief
in Ireland to deal ; for the stern warrior who is still best re-
membered as Sir Hugh Rose has a striking talent for the
suppression of revolt. But the suppression of Fenian out-
breaks is one thing, anti the government of Ireland is
another. We owe it to our loyal fellow-subjects across
St. George's Channel, as weowe it to ourselves,to strengthen
the party of order and weaken that of revolution in Ire-
land by courageous legislation applied to the retirees of
admitted grievances ; and no sudden fever-fit, either of
panic or of wrath, should make us forgetful of this solemn
duty.

TRADE AND SPECULATION.

The slackness of trade of which, according to the I '
every man of business complains is due. I
it thinks, to commercial disasters like that of I
the fall of Overend, Gurney, and Co. The
terror of Black Friday was due immediately to their
suspension ; the depression of trade which has lasted ever
since has been occasional, more than by any other cause,
by the total derangement of commercial life following the
abrupt termination of their business. The failure of that
firm was due to mismanagement so gross as to be almost
incredible. The active partners and directors, being once
in difficulty, rushed blindly into deeper depths, threw
good money after bad, played double or quits with Fate,
and, in fact, forgot their position a: the rulers of one of the
greatest of London houses to act as the most reckless of
players act at Homburg or Baden.
The Times is glad to find that the debenture holders of
the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway shrink from
MO extreme a measures as the sale of the line. The matter
for them to consider is one of common sense and commercial
discretion ; it is whether the property of the company
might not be so improved by the proposed outlay upon it
as to render the second claims upon it in its developed
condition more valuable than the first claims are now.
There is certainlyno harm in inquiry, presuming that any
remains to be learnt, but mere feeling should have
no place in questions of this kind. The object is simply
1, to make the best of a bad job.

THE POLICE COURT&

WESTMINSTER.
Susan Davison was oharged with ,the oommisaion of
series of thefts.
The Rev. Mr. Ford, 156, Cambridge-street, Pimlico,
said that the prisoner had been in his servioe,and left about
a fortnight ago. Having been accused of other offences
she had admitted that she had robbed him of money from
time to time.
Mrs. Ford said that during six weeks, which time the
prisoner wiis in the house, she missed money from her
locked trunk. The prisoner had afterwards admitted that
she had robbed her of between Si,and 6/.
Mr. Benjamin Dulley, a pp Bernell living in the house,
said that be bad four 51. notes in a locked desk in his
sitting-rine. He missed one of the notes ten days after
she had been there, and subsequently seine gal,old. She
admitted that she had stolen it, but that was n. a pro-
mise of forgiveness.
Mr. Ford said that he bad made no promise to her of any
description. He then handed in a written confessionof the
prisoner's peculation., and said that some skeleton keys
brought by a man who visited the prisoner had been found
in the cellar. He had given her the keys, and set her,
according to her account, to rob the house.
Prisoner said the confession had been extorted from her
by threats that she should bo thrown into a dungeon where
there were rats and mice, for the remainder of her life.
She declared that her master's eon had brought the
skeleton keys there.
The son positively denied this, and proved finding the
keys in the cellar.
A young man related to the prisoner positively declared
that the Fords had offered to forego the prosecution if the
money was restored.
Mr. Ford denied it.
It was stated that the prisoner's young man, said to have
given her the keys, could be produced.
Mr. Arnold said it was an extraordinary thing that the
girl should have been kept in the house so long after the
confession.

NIRCELLAI EOCB TOPIC?.

The Standard says there is an impassable gulf between
the trade societies and the rest of the people on the i
subject of reform. The unions have made up their minds
that they require just that kind of reform which will con-
vert all England into a trades union, and the only pos-
sible lesson they can teach us by their meeting on Monday
is to let us know precisely what is the force of this par-
ticular danger which the true reformer has to enoounter.
The Times thinks there is every reason to believe that
Mr. Matins, the new vice-chancellor, will make a satisfac-
tory judge. His promotion has been well earned by a
long and honourable professional life, and he will begin
his new career with the good-will of the bar and the con-
fidence of the suitors. He will succeed one of the soundest
lawyers of the time.

consideration, the government has been advised to ac-

George Hammon, a porter in the employ of the South
Western RailwayCompany,at their Nine Elms goods depot,
was finally examined on three charges of robbery.
Mr. T. Bent, the company's superintendent of police,
attended to prosecute; lir. Wilson defended the prisoner.
When the prisoner was first examined only one charge
was preferred spinet him, and the evidence then went to
prove that in December last • parcel containing four
woollen shirts, addressed to Colonel Plillpott, Farnham,
Surrey, and sent by Messrs. Oliver and Lodge, of Regent-
street, wasreoeived safely at the goods depot from one of
Pickford's vans, but it never arrived at its destination. On
the 21st ult, the prisoner was detected by Inspec-
tor Spice at the station, wearing one of the
mining shirts, and • second was discovered wet,
banging up to dry at his lodgings. On being taken
into custody a pawnbroker's duplicate relating to
a ring was found upon him. Police constable May, of the
Wdivision, went to the shop of Mr. Carter, in the Wanda-
worth-road, where the ring was pawned, and found another
of the missing shirts pledged in the same name as was on the
duplicate. Since the first examination it t ired that the
ring belongedto a fellow porter named James poott who
lived in the same house and missed it from his room
in October last. The third case had reference to • I
containing three pairs of boots, which were forwarded by
Mrs. Parker, of Cadogan-house, Sloane-street, in Decem-
ber last, to Mira Law, Ockhsm Rectory, near Ripley, Sur-
rey ; but, like the shirts, it went no further than the
goods depot, where all trace of it was lost. On inquiries
being made after the prisoner's apprehension a pair of the
musing boots were discovered in the possession of the
wife of another porter named Pinacott. In that Gase it
appeared that she bought the boots of the prisoner's wife
in the early part of January last. It also appeared that
the police had not been able to find the other pain, nor the
fourth shirt.
Mr. Wilson having intimated his intention to reserve his
defence,
Mr. Dayman fully committed the prisoner for trial in all
three cases.

SHOCKING MURDER OP A CHILD.

An inquiry was held by Mr. Richards, the
deputy coroner, at the Green Gate Tavern, City-road, last
evening, on the death of a female child, found murdered.
James Cooper, No. 9, Sudley-street, Islington, said that
he was keeper of St. Matthew's Church, St. Luke's. On
last Saturday night, at 11 o'clock, witness found
the deceased child lying on the steps of the
vestry door of the church. It was
in an old black silk apron that was trimmed withlrLPF4l
border. The child was dead and cold. A hand market
basket and a piece of brown paper marked " 2 dos. of linen
front," lay near it. Witness called the police, and the
child was removed by them to the station-house.
Dr. H. C. Muria said that the deceased was a full-timed
well-developed newly-born female child. It had lived, and
it had been foully murdered.
The jury returned a verdict of "Wilful murder against
some person or persons unknown."

A Corinth correspondent of the New York Times
sap that it is estimated that upon the two fields of Shiloh
and Corinth there are not lea than 12,000 Confederate
dead, whose bones for the most part lie bleaching above
ground, the rains having washed away the thin layer of
earth with which most were originally covered. The
Federal dead were all neatly interred, in the usual way,
with head and foot boards in every instanoe, and, in most
cases, were inclosed with wooden palings.

tary chieftain across the ocean. The Miantonoma is

THE TURKISH ARMY.

The Levant Herald of the 28th ult. says :—" The
Porte has decided on raising the Ist corps d'armee
(the Imperial Guard) to its full strength of 25,020
men. The live Ahma Pacha, commanding the
cavalry of the corps, has according received orders
to superintend and hasten the necessary conscrip-
tion. The headquarters of the force are in the
capital, and its recruiting districts are Smyrna, Mag-
nesia, Kutayah, Isparta, and Kara-hissar. The 2nd
and 3rd corps, the headquarters of which are
respectively at Schumla and Bitolia, receive their
recruits from Konia, Yungst, Castamouni, Adria-
nople, Uscup, Schumla, Babadagh, Tirnovs,
Kupruli, Crete, Scales, Beret, Ochri, Arta, Pre-
vesa, Nisch, and Silistria. The total strength of the
three corps is 75,000, which in case of need, can be
speedily raised to 202,000 by the addition of the
redifs of the Ist, 2n i, and 3rd categories. These
corps together form the army of Rownelis ; that
of Anatolia consists of the 4th, sth, and 6th corps,
which can be similarly swelled by drafting in the
reserves. This is not at present to be done, but
the cavalry regiments of all six corps are to be
placed an their full service footing."

REFORM BILL

111117210 AT ST. DUSTIN% HALL.
An aggregste meeting of the working men
ew of
London, convened by the London Working Men's
was held at St. Martin's-h. keg Acre, lart even-
ing, "to call upon the House of Commons to vote for the
second reading of the Infarct Bill." The essiging wss very
numerously attended, the large room being filled in every
part, and it was Meted that there were numbers outside
who oould not gtin admission.
Yr. thrown Perna occupied the chair.
Mr. TiioKU CONNOLLY, mason, moved the first reso-
lution, "That while desisting no bill can be considered as
a final settlement of the reform question that does not
fully enfrsischies the people, this meeting is still of opinion
that the Reform Bill introduced by the government ia,
upon the whole, worthy of the support of the country, in-
asmuch as it admits to the franchise a large number of the
people now excluded from that right, and it hereby calks
upon the members of the Home of Oommons to voM the
second reading of the bill, and support the government
against the combined opposition of the Loris' and
professing liberals, who, in the form of a speciously
worded coolution, have given evidence of their &Mrs to
arrant the program of at., even the most moderate reform."
Mr. T. DUNlittfe, eseretery of the Bookbinders' So-
ciety, smeaded the resolution. and in the course of his
epees& observed that the maxim of no politics is trades'
unions could not be acted upon long if this bill were
rejected.
Mr. Josern LIICIBTER, secretary of the (}lawmaker'
Society, supported the resolution in a speech of some
Intand power.
Ciraianao then put the resolution, which was
unanimously carried.
Mr. D. GOWN the secretary
the Ironmoulders' Society,
moved the next resolution :—" That this meeting of work-
ing men indignantly protests, in the most em tic
manner, against the slanders and calumnies he* upon
the industrial chases by professing liberals in theßouse of
Commons, and returns its thanks to Mr. Gladstone for his
manly and jlenerous defence of the character and conduct
of the working classes in his place in parliament."
Mr. G. F. Davis, the secretary of the Hose Psinters'
Council, emended ; and the resolution, like the previous
one, was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. Galati, the secretary of the Tailors' Association.
moved that copies of the foregoing resolutions be for-
warded to Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone, to the metro-
politan members, and to such other members as the com-
mittee may think desirable.
Mr. UPISHALL, secretary of the Joiners' Association, se-
conded, and the resolution was carried.
Mr. STRONG, the secretary of the Packing-box Makers'
Society, moved the adoption of a petition to the House of
Commons founded on the first resolution.
Mr. JENKINS, secretary of the Organ-builders Society,
seconded ; and the motion being parsed, and a vote of
thanks having been given to the chairman, the meeting

LOUIS PHILIPPZ AND Val 01

Paying t full tribute to one who on • throne was an
example to her people and in domestic life an example to
her family, the Daily New hopes to escape harsh interpre-
titians if it ventures to suggest a doubt of the wisdom of
those who mistake a sincere sympathy with fallen fortunes
for • condonation of the errors of policy that led to the
destruction of constitutional monarchy in France. In jus-
tice to a great nation and to principles that survive dynas-
ties, the truth of history Inuit not be silenced even in the
presence of grief the moat august, even before a royal grave
made holy by the tears and benedictions of the poor.
Y. Cow* who was in the cemetery at Weybridge the
other day, declared in the introduction to his political
speeches pnbaehed in 1881 that the fell of the monarchy
el July was due to its unshaken resolve not to change its
system at any price, so suppressing true representative go-
Tenement ; and he quoted the words of Louis

FATAL ONIIII3US COLLISION.

Yesterday Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex
Coroner, held en inquiry at the Poplar Hospital respecting
the death of Mr. Alfred Halford, aged 39 years, Who lost
his We through a collision between two omnibuses in the
Rack India-road. Mr. 1.. Lewis, of ley-place, appeared for
the family of the deceased ,• Mr. Maynard represented the
London General Omnibus Company ; and Mr. Norton was
present for Mr. Emmanuel, the proprietor of one of the
omnibuses. The deceased woe a jeweller, residing in
Northampton-street, ClerkenvrelL On the night of tae
20th March he and a friend got upon an omnibus at
Poplar belonging to Mr. Emmanuel, and driven by a coach-
man named John Payne, in order to come up to town. He
sat on the front meat on the off side. The omnibus went
along down the East India-road upon a stone tramway,
which is in the middle of the roadway. Near the Sailors'
Home a London General Omnibus was seen coming from
the opposite direction, also on the tramway, in the centre
of the road. Each driver evidently thought that it was
the business of the other to pull off the crown of the cause-
way, and as neither would put himself out of his course,
the two omnibuses were speedily in perilous proximity.
Then each driver dewed his horses' headalittle, and hi that
way the animals cleared each other ; but the two vehicles
came together with a fearful crash. The iron stepping
projections, the rails, and the windows were smashed ;
but, worst of all, the right leg of the unfortunate
deceased was aught between the two omnibuses, and was
crushed in a fearful manner. He called out, "My leg is
broken," and a policeman, seeing the blood streaming
down, inked the omnibus driver to torn round and carry
him to the Poplar Hospital, which was at once done. Mr.
Hawthorne, surgeon, proved that deceased died from the in-
juries on Saturday last. With respect to the question as to
who was in fault, each side produced evidence to show
that if the other bad only pulled on one side the
accident would never have happened. There was
room for two vehicles to have passed abreast on
either side of the tramway. The London General Om-
nibus Company's witness@ charged Mr. Emmanuel's
driver, John Payne, with being drunk, but the charge
was denied by several witnesses, who stated that be was
only excited after the collision. On the other hand, Charles
Carter, the driver of the London General Omnibus Com-
pany's omnibus, was charged with having repeatedly raced
into the other vehicle, and with having once damaged the
conductor's leg, but this charge was also rebutted. Several
independent witnesses having deposed that the drivers
were equally to blame, the coroner summed up the caps,
and left it to the jury to say whether the two driven were
not guilty of manslaughter. The jury, after a long delibe-
ration, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against John
Payne and Charles Carter, for feloniously Ming and slay-
ing Alfred Raiford." The two accused were then taken
into custody, but the coroner accepted bail in each cum.

TIM lIIaITSIINCI OF WAIL

The conduct attributed to Austria of demand-
ing that no project for the cession of Venetia shall be dis-
cussed in the conference, and her transference of Holstein
to the confederation, with an order to convoke the estates
of that duchy, appear to the Timm to destroy almost
every hope of the preservation of peace, and indeed of a
meeting of the conference at all. Should Prussia consider
the convocation of the Holstein estates a legitimate
cause of war, her first effort would no doubt be to seize
the southern duchy, and Um to gain actual possession of
the whole country in dispute. The Austrian corps, if at-
tacked, will probably retire from the duchy into neutral
territory, after such a resistance as will satisfy its military
honour. But should Prussia inflict on her enemy this
great humiliation, it will not be with impunity. Austria
has in Bohemia one of the finest armies ever assembled,
and is evidently not indisposed to employ it. Should
Austria really prove, the Times adds, to have
destroyed the last hopes of peace by resisting all negotia-
tion with respect to its Italian territory, a heavy respon-
sibility will rest on her Emperor, who will be deprived of
the hearty co-operation of the froilat and mast powerful
European communities. Should the empire hereafter be
exposed to the attacks of other enemies than are now
gathered against it, the world will think its calamities have
not been undeserved.

The Post regards the attitude of the Italians at this
moment se heroic. The prospects of their country would
be gloomy enough were it not that a nation possessing such
elements of greatness can never cease to inspire faith in
her destiny. The congress will bring her into direct rela-
tions with two sincere advisers to whose counsels she
would be wise to listen. _ _

The Star condemns in toto the proposition to indemnify
Austria for the loam of Venetia bygivincher part of Bosnia
and the Herzegovina, and in general terms denounces the
arbitrary transfer of peoples without asking their consent
as false in policy and indefensible on grounds of moral
right.

PRUSSIA AND HESSE CASSEL.

CASSEL, JugE 1.

The statements of the German press, that Hesse
Cassel had been called upon to take the side of Prus-
sia, as well as the assertion, that she had been re-
quested to observe a passive neutrality, are offi-
cially denied. Prussia has not sought to influence
the decisions of the Hessian government, but only
requested the latter to declare what position it
assumed in the threatened conflict between the
two great German powers. The Hessian govern-
ment, in reply, explained that Hesse Cassel adhered
to the line of conduct prescribed by Federal duty,
which prohibited the conclusion of any separate
treaty of alliance.

Powers, and particularly France, warned the
Turkish government, in reply, that such an occu-
pation might prove fatal to Turkey, and they there-
fore hoped that the plan would be abandoned.

THE LONDON GAS COMPANIES.

Mr. T.. 1. MILLER asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether it was his intention to
bring in a bill during the present or the next cession
founded upon the report of the select committee on the
London Corporation Gus, Sim., Bills.
Sir G. GREY said the report, which was not acoompr
Illed with the evidence, contained some important sugger
tions ; but it wean,' that there had been considerable
difference of opinion in the committee. It would there-
fore be premature for him to state what course he should
pursue, but he saw no reason to doubt that it would be
right to act upon the recommendations of the committee.
It would, however, be impossible to prepare a bill on the
subject this session.
FENTANISM.

Sir W. STIRLING-MAXWELL having postponed a ques-
tion on the subject of Lord Lyon King-at-Arms,
Sir G. GREY expressed., hope that Mr. Whalley would
take a similar course.
Mr. WHALLEY regretted that he was unable to do so ;
and proceeded to move for a select committee to inquire
and report as to the origin, object, and extent of
the Fenian conspiracy now or lately existing in Ire-
land, and especially whether it was in any and what
degree connected with any form of religious belief. The
hon. member, amidst every conceivable demonstration of
impatience on the part of the house, complained that at
the moment the government were introducing into the
Queen's speech a statement that the Fenian conspiracy was
virtually suppreesed, they were receiving letters from the
Lord-Lieutenant, informing them that the suspension of
the habeas corpus would be necessary. The hon. member
was about, amid continued manifestations of impatience,
to read extincts from documents which he held in his
hand,

that the house be counted. (Cheers, and laughter.)
Immediately on the motion being submitted the great
ority of the members present rose and left the house.
The SPEAKER appealed to the hon. member for Peter-
borough, and expressed a hope that under the CirCUM.
stances he would show some consideration for the feeling
of the house. (Cheers.)
Mr. WHALLEY said he would at once acquiesce in the
suggestion made by the Speaker. He would not have
brought forward the subject but for the challenge thrown
out by the hon. member for Cashel, who had imputed to
him that he had made assertions which he could not sub-
atantatte.
The hon. member resumed his teat, and the motion was,
by leave, withdrawn.
