OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

Though the termination of the Conference has
set the public mind of Europe at rest as to any immediate
apprehension of war, the Times has no hope of • really
stable pacification while vast armies are kept on foot, and
labour, expense, and ingenuity oontinue to be devoted
to the production of machinery for effecting mutual anni-
hilation. All Europe is, as it were, mined ; the slightest
accident may apply the torch, and yet it has become so
used to the danger that it has almost learnt to consider
this armed peace as the natural state of mankind.
France has been the great offender in the m►tter,
and if the Emperor will but carry out • real disarmament
be will confer on mankind • benefit which he will regard in
the latter years of his life with more reel satisfaction than
all the triumphs of his arms and all the successes of his
diplomacy. The other articles in the Times, this morning,
treat of the financial scheme of the new Chancellor of
the Italian Exchequer, the satire of M. John Lemoinne
on his English neighbours, and the proceedings of the
London and Brighton Railway. On the last subject the
Timm says that whichever way the division may go next
Thursday, the property of the line will henceforth be ad-
ministered on sounder principles. By 031/13110P consent it
is recognised that there mast be no more of these fights
over branches or extensions, whatever may be the appa-
rent provocation, necessity, or excuse.

The Daily News eongr►tulatee Italy on the brightening
of her prospects. Signor Ferrara's financial programme
appears at once comprehensively framed, carefully con-
sidered, far-sighted, and practical.—American polities and
the case of the Tornado are the other topics discussed in
the Daily New.
Amongst the matters dealt with by the Poet this morn-
ing is the time of publishing the marriage banns. Our
contemporary considers them, whether published at one
time or the other, ► disagreeable interpolation, and cannot
understand why the exhibition of the names of the parties
upon the public notice-board of the church for three con-
secutive Sundays should not answer all the purpose. In
the present conflict of old and new law, and of law and
custom, it might be as well to have a short act, declaratory
sad permissive, making it legal to publish banns at any
time of Divine service that might be most suitable, only
requiring that the practice in any one church should be
uniform, so that people might know when to expect
publication.
The Standard urges on the government to press on their
Hyde-park Bill with all possible alacrity, while the Stwr
thinks th►t Mr. Diriraeli's demeanour last night, when
questioned by Mr. Bright, showed th►t he wes as little
sensible of the gravity of the subject and the interest felt
in it by the country, as of what was due to an eminent
public man fulfilling an obvious parliamentary duty. At
present we have to wait till after Monday to know what
will be done.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The London Conference, the compound house-
holders, and the Hyde-park meeting, are the leading
themes with our weekly contemporaries.
The .Votarda.v Renew anticipates that with the happy
close of the deliberations of the Conference charges and re-
criminations will cease to disturb timid minds. The in-
telligent opinion of Europe was unanimously opposed to
an unnecessary contest, and in smoothing away the diffi-
culties which impeded a friendly arrangement, the con-
ference has enjoyed the great advantage of swimming with
the stream. The Saturday Review believes the decision of
parliament in favour of the government scheme of borough
franchise is in harmony with the decision of the country.
No serious difficulties now beset the passing of the bill
until the question of the redistribution of seats is ap-
proached. New difficulties have been imported into this
part of the subject by the decision of Thursday night. The
objections to the maintenance of very small boroughs have
been intensified by it. On the Hyde-park question, the
Re lire is vehement. What is lost. it says, is the honour of
the country, to which the loss of the American colonies,
Walcheren, and (Intros are as nothing. The Reform
League have shown that the destinies of this country are
in the hands of the most pusillanimous and weak govern-
ment that England has ever possessed.
The Horne-offios, the Examiner says, in discussing the
week's work, was never the fit place for Mr. 'Walpole. It
is precisely the department for which he was by nature
ill-suited. Mr. Burly will probably make • better secre-
tary of state, for the supervision of magistrates, con-
stables, culprits, mad people, publicans, sanitary boards,
water-workers, and gas-makers. But it will take Mr.
Hardy a long time so win the personal regard so remark-
ably manifested towards Mr. Walpole.
Desiring to cast away disguise, the Eta/miner wishes to
confess that in the sharp debate and great division of
Thursday last, no human being really felt that the issue
lay between the rival schemes for equalising householders
claiming the franchise. The struggle was in reality be-
tween the friends and foes of the bill as • whole, It wee

A Turin paper says that the household of the
Princess Margaret, daughter of the Duchess of Genoa, is
shortly to be formed. Is this to be taken as significant of
matrimonial projects! The young princess, who will
complete her 111th year on the 20th of next November, is
an exceedingly pretty person and said to be very amiable
and well brought up. A report was lately current, origi-
nating apparently in Prussia, of a projected marriage be-
tween her and Prince Charles of Hohenrellent, reigning
Prince of Roumania.

On the 3rd inst., Duke Ernest of Saxe-Coburg
Gotha, brother of the late Prince Consort, with his wife,
Princess Alexandrine of Baden, celebrated the 25th anni-
versary of their marriage. The illustrious couple passed
the day in quiet retirement, at the hunting lodge of Ober-
hof, near Gotha, whose citizens presented their sovereign
with a valuable piece of plate.
A letter from Tih4ran of the 7th ult. states that
his Majesty Naar-Eddin-Shah had formed the design of
proceeding with all his court to Welled, a place of pil-
grimage held in great veneration. Although everything
had been already prepared for a speedy departure, and
measures taken to ensure the conduct of public affairs
during the Sines absence, the material difficulties of the
expedition, wird the consider►ble outlay required for the
displacement of twenty thousand persons forming the
royal suite, gave rise to doubts as to the realisation of the
journey.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Master of the Rolla.)
BAR2III).II.RANEIWI COMPANY.

The Master of the Rolls, at the sitting of the court,
gave judgment in a repreeentatiou ease (Westland's) in
which the question of frau.l was raised from chambers in
this matter, and which would decide some hundreds of
cases. The point was that shareholders had embarked in
the concern from misrepresentations as to the affairs.
and also as to statements in the prospectus. Mr. Joel
Emmanuel, on the part of a large body of contributories
raised the question of non-liability, on the ground of fraud,
and the decision was looked forward to with considerable
anxiety, as it would require a large number to pay the
call of 40/. overdue, and which had been enlarged to
nearly the end of the month, and which it was admitted
would not discharge the large indebtedness of the cam-

His lordship was of opinion that the decision of Vice-
Chancellor Malius in the matter of Overend and Gurney,
and his own decision in the Madrid Bank, would govern
the present came, and therefore he directed Westland's
name to be put on the list of contributorie,,, and other
cases would follow.

Mr. Jewel asked for costa. lie had raised the question
which would decide some hundreds of cases.

The Master of the Rolls add he had ordered an inspec-
tion of the books. He allowed costs.

EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE.

A conference of congregational ministers and
laymen was held yesterday at the London Tavern, under
the presidency of Mr. S. MORLEY. There were also pre-
sent Mr. Baines, M.P., Sir F. Crossley, M.P., the Rev.
Dr. tinwin, the Rev. J. Stoughton, the Rev. J. Mac-
dougall, the Rev. Mark Wilks, Mr. Warburton, of Man-
chester, &c.

Ultimately a motion was agreed to, expressing the con-
viction of the meeting as to the inestimable value of re-
ligious instruction in training the young, and its belief
that instruction can be best reconciled with the rights of
conscience and civil liberty if left to the free action of
the supporters of schools, and not required by public au-
thority. The resolution further required that the aid
granted to school a should be granted impartially for the ascer-
tained results of secular teaching, in harmony with the re•
commendations of tLe commission of 1858. A resolution
approving of the conscience clause in the case of schools
aided by parliamentary grants was also agreed to, and the
meeting then broke up with the usual compliment to the
chairman.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(rsox OUR OWN

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVMACI.

The interpellations presented by the ultramon-
tanist senators, Baron Dupin, Baron de St. Vin-
cent, &c., will certainly be accepted, and the
debate upon them is expected to come on next
Monday. As the talking members will be wanted
in the Senate on that occasion, the Roman ques-
tion will not be discussed in the Corps Legislatif
till later. But it is not doubted that in one form
or another it will be brought on.
In the Fifth Bureau of the Corps Legislatif, M.
Berryer was very near being named president, but
on a second ballot the government candidate, M.
Larrabure, carried the day by a bare majority.
There is, therefore, no break in the general rule
that the presidents of the bureaux all represent
the majority.
The France contradicts the news confidently
given last night by the Petrie that the Minister of
Foreign Affairs had drawn up a new circular rela-
tive to the proposed conference ; but it expresses
a belief that the French government has "every
hope " of coining to an understanding: with the
powers without any further diplomatic efforts.
This is merely the substitution of one semi-official
untruth for another. The speeches of Lord Derby
and Lord Stanley confirm what was perfectly well
known before by political men throughout Europe,
that there will be no conference.

Several of the evening papers attach importance
to the paragraph in the Queen's speech which
" confidently " anticipates the " prompt " with-
drawal of the French troops from the Roman
states. The A seitir National construes this
as meaning that the prolongation of the occupa-1
tion would be a legitimate cause of conflict, and
that the responsibility of the serious consequences
would fall upon France. The Libert4 notices the
importance of the same passage in connexion more
particularly with the omission of any reference
whatever to the conference. The Opinion Nationale
thinks it "astonishingly significant" that the Queen
should interfere by such a solemn declaration in •
question which concerns only France, Italy, and
the Holy See. The Temps also is struck by the
" stiffness" with which the Queen is made to ex-
press the opinion that the French troops should
go away from Italy at once. The force of
this observation on the part of the French
press is increased by the fact that there is no
chance of the French abandoning their hold on
Rome, unless in the event of a new arrangement
being made for a conference, and there is no like-
lihood of a conference assembling.
The Bourse was decidedly heavy. Rente, after
having been quoted as high as 68fr. 50c., closed at
68fr. 10c. for cash and 68fr. 32ic. for account, with
a fall of bc. and 10c. The rise of 20c. effected by
the Emperor's declaration that he meant to remove
the uncertainty which weighed upon all Europe is
already reduced to 10c. ; Italian fell 30c. ; Credit
Fonder, 17fr. 50c. ; Mobilier, 12fr. 30c. ; and
Comptoir d'Escompte, llfr. 25c. The tone of
the market was considered very bad, and the fall
from the highest quotations of the day was pre-
cipitate.
London, England, 1867-11-21

THZ ROMAN QUESTION.

The Times fully approves of the action of tho
English government in asking that the preliminaries neces-
sary to advantageous action should be settled before the
invitation to a conference is accepted. Even if the Italian
government consented to attend and to submit itself to
the decision of the majority, it would still be found im-
possible to compel the acquiescence of the Italian people
in the decision, supposing it should be adverse to the
national wishes. Everything concurs to support the con-
clusion that the feeling of the nation is as ardent now as
it ever was, and that the desire of the inhabitants of the
Roman States has not varied in the last twenty years.
We are thus driven to the conclusion that any arrange.
meat now possible would be only temporary. The national
will of Italy may be feeble, but it is persistent. On the
other hand, it is easy to foresee circumstances under which
the powers which now coerce it would be quite incapable
of effectually thwarting it.
In • conference, of which the scope should be clearly
defined, no power, the Daily News thinks, would be a
more impartial arbitrator than England. The conclusion
at which the common sense of the country has arrived is
quite independent of theological antagonism, and is deter-
mined solely by regard for political justice and sound
principles of civil government. The doctrine of Sir G.
Bowyer that no catholic is a foreigner in Rome, and that,
therefore, the Pope's troops are not foreigners, in-
volves consequences compared with which the pre-
tensions of Hildebrand and Innocent were modest.
The position of the ultramontane advocates leads d"wctly
to that war of religious opinion which Mr. Homan justly
dreads. Their principle directly challenges protestant in-
tervention in order to prevent Romanist intervention, and
to secure the rights of a people to choose not only its own
rulers, but to follow its own religious convictions. On this
ground we are unwilling to enter ; but, if the neutral field
of politics is quitted, it is on this ground, we warn the
ultramontane party, that the battle will be fought. They
will have enemies not only without but within their own
church.

♦YLSICAY POLITICS.

The Daily News expecte that with—the meeting of Con-
I grew; we shall hear no more of a presidential Coup d'itat,
and but little more of the impeachment of the President.
The advocates of Southern confiscation, as well as those
who recommend the payment of the national bonds in
currency, may make their voices heard, but will only ex-
hibit their own entire want of legislative sympathy and
support. Probably the Senate will restore Mr. Stanton
to his place in the cabinet, and Mr. Johnson will
appeal to the supreme court. At present the
democratic victory has not led him to exert himself
more mischievously against the Congress. The republican
majority will feel that it is on its good behaviour,
and the radical section of it will have less power. The
moderate republicans have been the real gainers by those
elections. The country has given them an irresistible
argument, and they will wield it with irresistible power.
The republican voters in the state of New York who
stayed at home on the sth of this month knew that it was
a warning which the republican leaders would take, and
that it would lead to a more cautious, moderate, and
therefore irresistible action in carrying out the republican

After Term Nisi Prins Sittings at R•estminstcr.—(Before
the Lord Chief Justice and Special Juries.)
This was the first day of the after term nisi priva sittings.
The list contains rJO causes, of which lul are remaneta,
and nearly 100 marked as specials.

ROWLAND AND OTHERS T. MORETON.
This was an action to recover the value of two proud,-
sory notes for I,ooof. each, and a third for JOU. The de-
fendent denied the making of the notes, pleading no con-
sideration, and fraud. _ _ _

Mr. Huldlestone Q.C., and Mr. .1. 0. Criffits were
counsel for the pinuitiffs • Mr. Keropley and Mr. Wbsiton
were counsel for the defiadent.

Mr. Headlestoo, in stating the case to the jury, said
the plaintiffs are the executors or the late Mr. John
Wilkins, who formerly resided in the neighbourhood of
Oxford, and the defendant is the son of the late, sad
brother of the present, Earl Dome, and is an ofScer in the
Hunan. The action was brought upon three promissory
notes made on the 3rd October, 1860, at eight months, and
they were the joint and separate promissory notes of a
person named Law and the defendant. So far as the
plaintiffs were concerned they knew nothing of the trim.
action between the testator and Law and the defendant
but having, as executors, found the bills among the
testator's papers, it was their duty to investigate the
matter. The deceased, it appeared, dabbled is
bill transactions, and there was reason to believe from
papers which bad come into the executors' hands that he
discounted largely for Law. How much Mr. Moreton had
from the discounting of the bills in question the executors
did not know. It was sufficient for them that they found
Mr. Moreton's name upon the bills, and they commenced
this action shortly after the testator's death, but in con-
sequence of the absence of the defendant in India and
Canada with bia regiment no proceedings could be taken
upon it until within the last year. Law bad since become
bankrupt, and it was for the jury to say if the defendant
was liable os these bills.
_

A conference took place between the learned (annul,
when

Mr. Haddlesion said be had communicated with his
learned friend who appeared for the defendant, and he WM
ready to take a verdict for the amount for which the de.
fendant entered between himself and Ltw, that the bills
should be drawn. The defendant, it smeared, intended
th►t the three bills should only cover :1001., but Law, with.
out his knowledge, had filled them up for the larger
amounts.

Mr. Kemplay add the notes were obtained from the
defendant upon the express understanding that they should
be for only 1001. each, but Lew filled them up for 2,0001.,
not one farthing of which had reached the defendant's
pocket. He, however, would consent to a verdict for 3110/.
the amount for which he intended to become liable.
Verdict accordingly.

THE CONFERENCE.
PARIS, Nov. 25, Evwnro:

La France of this evening says that Russia,
Austria, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Den-
mark, Sweden, Switzerland, Bavaria, Wurtemburg,
and Baden have unreservedly consented to the
Conference. The adhesion of Prussia is considered
certain, and that of England probable.
The Putrie publishes a private telegram confirm •
ing the adhesion of the Roman See to the Con-
ference. The Patric adds:—" Cardinal Antouelli
has declared verbally, and has also instructed the
Papal Nuncio at Paris to the effect, that the Roman
court agrees to the Conference without any preli-
minary conditions. It is stated that the adhesion
of Italy has not yet been officially announced. The
adhesions of Portugal and Sweden and Norway re-
cently arrived in Paris. The question where the
Conference should be held is not yet decided."
The Temps, speaking of the adhesion of the Pope
to the Conference, says that the representative of
his Holiness will limit his demands to a guarantee
of the status pu), making at the same time the fol-
lowing declaration :—" The Holy Father must
absolutely maintain his non possums:. as regards the
other demands of Italy. His Holiness is bound by
his oath, but he considers it by no means impos-
sible that his successor should enter into negotia-
tions with the Italian Kingdom."

THE ABTOUNIAN QI7V3TION.

The Daily News looks for an interesting discus-
sion to-night on the resolution which Sir S. Northoote is
to move in committee. Theoretically the house will be
in full possession of the subject, but practically the
wisdom of our parliament has already been either antici-
pated or annulled in the private conferences of advisers of
the crown. Such, however, is the publio spirit which
actuates our representatives, that even under conditions so
unpropitious as these, the Abyssinian question is certain
to be fully and fairly discussed, and we shall get some
knowledge —alittle geography, a little history, perhaps even
a little poetry—out of the debate, if we get nothing more.
The Blue Book ban not even provided the materials of an
intelligent debate, but by the exercise of a due admixture
of pertinacity and patience we may hope to get in time all
the information we desire. We shall hear to-night how
the government proposes to act if the captives were sud-
denly to meet with an untoward fate, and no doubt
ministers will endeavour to show that the arrangements
u to the ch►rges on the Indian revenue are quite
justifiable. In the opinion of the Dail!, Nero, though
we have the legal right to throw upon the people of India,
not simply this paltry sum, but the whole expenses of the
Abyssinian expedition, yet noble.xe (Wive, and our posi-
tion is too high to permit us to devolve upon a dependent
people burdens which truly and properly belong to our-
selves.

The Trferrmph says the country, however it dislikes the
expense, strongly affirms the necessity of the expedition.
It is in no sense a party question. The safety of our
eastern empire and the lives and liberties of our fellow-
subjects are at stake ; while imperial interests and
honour alike demand that the work, so tardily commenced,
should be vigorously prosecuted by our soldiers, and un-
falteringly supported by the people.
The Star contends that the attempt to throw the re-
sponsibility of conducting a great war upon the Indian
Secretary is an entire departure from constitutional
usage. Sir Stafford Northeote has a sufficient task upon
his hands in the government of Irdia, and would have
been wise to decline to conduct a war in a country of
which he knows no more than Sir John Pakington.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Nov. 18.
Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and
Justices Mellor, She., and Lull.)
DARBY r. MALES.
After the termination of our report yesterday,
The learned counsel raised the question of waiver sad
also that of fraud in making a false representation as to
meow._

Mr. Justice Shea said it could hardly be supposed that
so many old stagers, men who bad been thirty-six years at
the bar, would slow themselves to be deceived by a law
student. (laughter.) He was not dissatisfied with the
verdict.

Mr. Quoin said he was not surprised to hear that his
lordship tont so strong a view of the plaintiff's case that
he did not give him (Mr. Quoin) a chance from beginning
to end.

The Lord Chief Justice said there would be no rule on
the point of excluding from the jury the question of the
original agreement, but there would be • rule with
to those who cleaned to be committeemen after the aarcit
May, upon the question of waiver. There would be no
rule on the question of fraud, but the court would grant
it on the question of misconduct. There was some doubt
whether the learned judge had or had not misdirected the
jury on that point.
