EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(YRON OUR OWN CORRRAPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVILYING.

It is thought that the amendment prohibiting
substitutes in the Mobile National Guard has a
great chance of being adopted. Deputies of all
parties incline to the opinion that a force which in
ordinary times will only be subjected to the trifling
inconvenience of a few days drill in the year, and
which would only be called into active service in
case of a serious war, should include all classes of
society without distinction, and that money ought
not to be able to command exemption.
It is confirmed that Chevalier Nigra is going
out of the way of the new year's receptions. He
leaves Paris for Florence to-day. This diplo-
matist must be glad of a rest, for within the last
week he has been in constant motion, fluttering
between the Falai' Royal (Prince Napoleon's),
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Prussian and
other sympathetic embassies, and his own office.
I do not know whether it is quite certain that
Count de Coke will be away on January 1, but
it is known that the Corps Diplomatique will not
be represented on that occasion by Count de
Budberg, the Russian Ambassador, he being at
St. Petersburg.
I am happy to announce the grant of a new
liberty which Frenchmen will come into the enjoy-
ment of on New Year's-day. It is a franchise, the
granting of which may reasonably be considered as
evidence that those who govern France are of
~pinion that her citizens are loss quarrelsome than
they used to be. A staring placard in front of the
Bourse, signed " Pietri, Prefect of Police," pro-
claims that from and after Jan. 1, 1868, the public
may enter the building without being forced to
leave their sticks and umbrellas at the door.
This is another stage in a great movement
which commenced in 1855. Before that date
to go about with a cane was almost as
expensive as to keep a cab ; wherever two or
three were gathered together under any roof, there
was somebody at the door to demand in an im-
perious tone the delivery up of the stick, and at
the same time a fee of at least two sous for taking
care of it. The fee, though in the long run
onerous, was less annoying than the time lost in
waiting to get your property again when you camel
away. In 1855 it was foreseen that the perquisites
of the cane, umbrella, and parasol vestiaire in the
Champs Elysies building would be of immense
value; and by way of making a handsome
provision for an eminent actress in her
old age the post of care taker of sticks, was
given to Mdlle. Georges. It was, however, ulti-
mately calculated that it would be utterly impos-
sible to ensure the redelivery of these articles to
the public within any reasonable time ; and then
that fearful innovation was made which caused the
hair of many an official to stand an end, which per-
mitted the public to enter a public building carry-
ing their sticks in their hands on their own reapon-

WISCCILLIIIOOB TOPICS.

To the limes the abandonment by Mr. Ernest Jones of
the defence of the Manchester Fenian appears a piece of
bombastic petulance, and the offensive bear'ng of Mr.
Eckel is and Mr. Bennet will not, it says, have any effect
in arousing popular sympathy for their clients. The
slaughter of unarmed policemen rouses the sternest feel-
ings of abhorrence, and vet/ little more provocation might
bring about tei.ible reprisals. It would be an evil day for
the Irish population of our great towns, and for the peace
of English society, if the law should fail to overawe the
filibustering spirit of Fenianism.
According to the Daily New, one of the reasons for the
high price of bread in England might be traced to the ex-
traordinary oonf union and impotence of Russian laws, and
what these are it proceeds to describe. But notable im-
provements are taking place, and the raw produoe of Russia
will probably increase enormously from year to year. The
British farmer will have also to contend with the virgin
lands of Turkey, which have been unploughed for cer
turies, but which will soon teem with plenty. A very
few years will see railways through the Danubian Princi-
palities, through Bosnia, Semis, Bulgaria, and the deep
rich soil near the coasts of Asia Minor. A new life is
awakening throughout the East. Already • telegraph
joins London to Tehran. A railway will soon follow.
Some of the best land in the world, almost within bail of
some of its safest seaports, long deserted and abandoned,
only awaits the security of known laws and responsible
magistrates to pass into the bands of elesr•besded and
enterprising men who will let it lie waste and fallow no
longer.
The TdeyrapA contends that the attempt to nominate •
new bishop of Natal is not only contrary to English tradi-
tions, but is also, there is strong reason for believing, con-
trary to law. Ifithe South-African church could establish
a practical independence, and disavow the royal supre-
macy in the manner contemplated, other colonial churches
could do the same, and the tie of allegiance to the Eng-
lish communion would be • rope of sand. The disunion
would be merely a question of dates. To those who wish
to see the connexion between the mother country and her
dependencies maintained in ecclesiastical as in secular
affairs, it will be gratifying to learn that the Lambeth
Synod has not formed the perilous resolution imputed to
it by Dr. Gray.
The Standard believes in war between France and
Prussia. Time, it was with much show of reason calcu-
lated, would soften the animosity of the two nations, and
accustom them to their new position. But time has only
augmented those jealousies and increased the uneasiness
of the friends of peace. For one man who believed in war
in the spring there are a hundred who are certain of !it
now, and it is almost hoping against hope to indulge in
the notion that when two n►tions h►ve arrived at the con.
vietion that they are to fight they will have long to wait
for the commencement of the fray.

GUILDHALL.

Joarph Athlllll and deorge I girds, two gallon stationed at
the Naval Barraoks, were placed ►t the bar before Sir
Robert W. Carden, charged with assaulting one of the
boys employed by the Commissioners of Sewers to cleanse
the streets.

—Mr. Bstylis, the solicitor to the Commimioners of Sewers,
said he attended on behalf of that body for the purpose of
protecting those who were employed by them. Ms swan,
was no doubt aware that the Commissioners of Seems haa
taken the scavenging of the City into their own Mode, sad
had employed about 40 boys, who Were engaged in cm-
stoutly keeping the streets clean. They were trying
great experiment, and felt that they must protect those
under them from such wanton conduct as the prisoners had
been guilty of.
John Moore, one of the boys alluded to by Mr. Baylis,
said that about half-past 2 o'clock on Tuesday he ma
engaged on Ludgate-bill, when Lewis took off his cap and
ran down the hill with it, and at the same time Adams
gave him a kick on the leg, which hurt him very me h,
He went after Lewis to get his cap, when that primer

boy also) that he said anything to the

days' imprisonment.

John Hardy, • man between thirty and forty ran of
age, was charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding
his aged father. An old woman said that her husband
was ve,p7 bad in bed.
Jose Hardy, sworn—My brother (the prisoner) came
home intoxicated last night, and demanded eighteenpeocri
of mother to pay • porter with. Mother had not got the
money, and told bun so, and then be began to kick up a
row. I asked him to be quiet, when be took ups short
poker, with • point as sharp as a bayonet, and raid be was
• good mind to " gouge my eye out" for interfering,
I reasoned with him, and said, " I never did
you any harm, and why should you come here and
annoy poor old mother end father!" He then pot
the poker down for • minute. Father came in, and the
prisoner then began making a great noise again, and father
told him to go aw. He then swore he would throw
father oat of the window, and he would have done it too if
I had not interferred. I ot father away. I told him he had
better come down away from prisoner, and he did, and
then thought that I had better get some &mistime. Father
went into the kitchen and eat down by the fire. I had

CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION AT
LINCOLN.

A conservative demonstration was held at Lin-
coln, yesterday (Wednesday) evening—Mr. H. CHAPLIN
of Blankney, the Derby winner of 1867, presiding, sup..
ported by Mr. J. Banks Stanhope, M.P. ; Sir J. Trollops,
M.P. ; Mr. C. W. Sibthorpe (a descendant of the well,
known Col. Sibtborpe) ; Mr. C. Turner, Mr. Boucherett,
the Rev. Canon Massingberd, &c. Mr. Chaplin is regarded as
the future conservative candidate for the new division of
Lincolnshire crested by the Reform Bill, and the hon. gen-
tleman was enthusiastically received. Sir J. Trollops justi-
fied the course taken by the government in dealing with
the reform question, and argued that household suffrage,
scoompanied by personal payment of rates, was merely
the re-introduction of the ancient principles of the
constitution. The right hon. baronet charged the
liberal with " dangling" reform before the people
while the conservatives bed sought to deal with it
in a practical fashion. Mr. J. Banks Stanhope spoke in a
similar sprit, and both hon. gentlemen expressed confi-
dence in the good sense of the newly enfranchised
electors, provided they were dealt with in a concilia-
tory manner. A wish was expressed that Mr. Sibthorpe
might be induced to become a conservative candi-
date for Lincoln, but the hon. gentleman intimated
that he was not disposed to offer himself just at present.
The chairman proposed as a toast " The working-classes,"
who, he said, constituted the thews and sinews of the
country. The working men responded. One of them
observed that Mr. Disraeli was entitled to credit for the
manner in which he had carried through the Reform Bill,
but the speaker crested a rather ludicrous consternation

by adding his eonvietion that the working-dames mud
have the ballot.

CITY OF LONDON.

This morning Spencer Perceval, Esq., the bar-
rister appointed to revise the lists of voters for members

BETTING IN LONDON.--WEDNESDAY.

The attendance at the clubs today was pretty good,
considering the numerous ont-door attractions, and • fair
amount of business was tran.acted. tlO the Cesarewitch,
Honesty kept firm, the outside price laid being 11 to 2,
and at the finish offers did not exceed to 1. Idlinkhoolie
kept his place as second favourite with equal steadiness,
and after the friends of Mr. Chaplin's cult had vainly
endeavoured to obtain to 1, they were fain to accept 100
to 12. Montgonbert's position was decidedly improved.
11 to 1 was taken to a small amount, and layers then
limited their offers to • point less. The principal feature
of the day, however, was a demonstration in favour of
Maid of Masham filly, upon whom in the course of the
morning several hundreds were invested, down to as little
as 100 to 6. At one period Thalia had an unhealthy
appearance, and receded to 20 to 1, offered ; but she sub-
sequently recovered herself somewhat, and 100 to 7 was
taken kindly. Armourer was in decidedly bad odour, re-
ceding to 100 to 6, and an unmistakeable desire was mani-
fested to lay against him. The horses in the second rank
exhibited little or no change, hut among the outriders
Julius was backed at 1,000 to to, and Harpenden, Guy of
Warwick, and NU .118 rompilius for trifling amounts at
their respective quotations. Very little was done on the
Cambridgeshire, and the day's proceedings terminated
' with the following results

PARIS, Ocr. 3.

The Moniteur of this morning, referring to the
alarming rumours which were current yesterday on
the Paris Bourse, says :—" The rumours which
have been circulated in Paris, and especially on
the Bourse, are entirely devoid of foundation. It
is truly deplorable that the public credit should be
influenced by such manoeuvres. The government
has lost no time in requesting the judiciary autho-
rities to investigate the matter, and to seek the
author of the false intelligence."

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAIIe.)

INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENT 1N THE
PAPAL STATES.
PARIS. Ocr. 2, Evszawo.

The Moniteur du Sir, in its bulletin, says :—"No
sign of any disturbance or dissatisfaction has been
manifested in the Roman States at the approach
of the revolutionary bands. The Pontifical troops
showed themselves determined to do their duty.
The calm displayed by the inhabitants contrasted
in a striking manner with the agitation proceeding
from without."

FLORENCE, Ocr. 2, EVENING.

Advice' from the Papal frontier assert that the
news respecting the passage of Garibaldian bands
had been much exaggerated. A few isolated un-
armed individuals had crossed, whose number, how-
ever, was inconsiderable. It was impossible to
prevent their passage, despite the greatest vigilance
on the part of the local authorities and the troops.
The earns advice' also state that the movement had
not assumed any large proportions, and was now
almost at an end, since the persons who had crossed
the frontier into the province of Viterbo, and who
had gone thence towards Acquapendente, had re-
solved to return. They had presented themselves
to the commander of the troops at Ban Casciano,
with the view of being restored to their homes.

PANIC ON THE PARIS BOI7RSE.
PARIS, Ocr. 2, 3.30 P.M.

The Bourse has been very much agitated to-day
by disquieting rumours, and the fluctuations in
prices have been numerous and important. Rentes,
which closed last night at 68.40, opened at 67.86,
and fell rapidly to 67. An improvement afterwards
took place, and Rentes were finally quoted at the
opening price, 67.85, or 65 cents. lower than yes-
terday. Italian have fallen more than 1 per cent.

PARIS, Ocr. 2, Eviumta.

The panic on to-day's Bourse was occasioned by
rumours of the Emperor being ill, of an impending
conflict between France and Italy, of an insurrec-
tionary outbreak at Rome, and of an altercation
having taken place between Count Bismarck and
General Fleury.
The government has ordered the commissioner
of police at the Bourse to deny these reports, and
to endeavour to discover by whom they were set
afloat.

The Petrie of this evening gives a denial to a
number of rumours, especially such as alleged an
approaching change of ministry, the existence of
another French circular on the meeting at Salz-
burg, the exchange of negotiations for modifying
the September Convention, the conclusion of an
offensive and defensive treaty of alliance between
France and Italy, as well as of a similar alliance
between Italy and Prussia.
The Patrie adds, that the pamphlet recently pub-
lished here, under the signature of " A Diplomatist,"
by no means possesses the importance it seeks to
assume. It is the work of a former functionary, a
director of an agricultural insurance office.

stags in seven days. One of these was a royal stag, an-
other had 14 points, and Bevels! 10 and 11 points, while
there were a pair of unusually beautiful beads. The
hoa gentleman, on the 13th, brought down a stag of
16 stone 61b. ; and on the 14th, one of 15 stone 71b.
On the 16th he had no less than half-a-dozen stags,
weighing respectively 17 stone 71b., 14 stone 111 b., 14
stone 91u., 13 stone 51b., 13 stone 21b., and 12 stone 121 b.
On the 17th inst. be brought down three stags, one
weighing 17 atone 91b., another 16 stone fib., and a
third 13 atone 21b. On the 18th inst. he had a royal
stag of 16 stone 71b. ; and on the 19th a stag with 14
points, weighing 16 stone 51b. On the 20th, he brought
down four stags, the first being 19 stone Ilb. in weight,
and more like a bullock than a stag ; the other three
weighing respectively 16 stone, 12 stone, and 13 stone 11b.
In Glentiddoch, Lord Raglan went deer-stalking on Tues.
day and Wednesday last, and brought down a stag each
day. In tha same forest, Colonel Campbell brought down
a stag on Tuesday, another on Thursday, and a pair of
stags on Friday. Lord Francis Gordon Lennox was also
ont on Friday, and brought down a fine stag. In the

BETTING IN LONDON.-WEDNINDAY.

•The ttendanee at the clubs was extremely limited to-
day, tbe!ess there were certain movements in con-
nection with the Cesarowitch which materially altered
the position of some of the horses, and gave Indication of
the betting on the event becoming more spirited and di-
versified. The most remarkable feature of the day was
the rush on Armourer, who was backed at all sorts of
prim down to as little as 10 to 1; in point of fact, he was
at one time almost as good a favourite as anything,

Honesty declining to 9to 1. Before the close of the day,
however, the Duke of Hamilton's colt recovered himself,
and the final otter was no more than 7to 1. The other
horses in request were Grouping Girl, Montgoubert, Seal-
skin, and Cannon Ball, each of whom promises to see a
math shorter price than that accepted to-day. RP•anln-
tion on the Cambridgeshire was trifling and unimportant,
Clardevisure being entrusted with a few small outlays at
100 to 7, while Aare/ would have met with support at
anything over 20 to 1. Very little betting took place on
the October Handicap ; Pirate Chief and Lord Ronald
were the only two we saw backed, 7 to 1 being taken
about each. Quotations as follows :

DEATH OF MR. ALPRED MELLON.
(THIS HAY.)

With deep regret we have to chronicle the death
of Mr. Alfred Mellon, which occurred this (Thurs-
day) morning at 1 o'clock. Mr. Mellon, who must
have been about 50 years of age at the time of his death,
had been ailing for some time, suffering under a
dropsical attack and a serious derangement of the
liver. He began his musical career in the orchestra of the
Birmingham Theatre, and soon came to London as
musical director of the Adelphi Theatre under the suc-
cessive managements of Mr. Yates and Mr. Webster. While
holding this position, he married Miss Woolgar—
then, as now, the popular favourite of that theatre.
His talent as a musical conductor (a special
gift that may exist without any power as a composer or
musical executant) soon became known, and when he
left the Adelphi he took his seat as second conductor
at the Italian Opera tinder Mr. Costa. His popularity was
very great throughout the country, particularly at the
great musical festivals, and also in London, where he
organised several successful series of promenade concerts.
He conducted the English Opera under the Pyne and
Harrison management, and latterly was the lessee of
Covent.garden during the winter season. At the time of
his death ho was surrounded by Mr. Edward Murray,
Mr. Harris, and many attached friends. It is needless
to say that he was much respected in private life.
London, England, 1867-03-28

THE REFORM BILL.

The Times speaks of the progress of reform as having
now taken a happy turn, and says no one doubts that
the last obstacle to the passing of a reform sot in 1867 will
disappear. The ministry has assented to the alterations
essentially necessary in their measure, and the good augn-
riejof the early part of the sesaion, though often overcast
since, will be fulfilled. When pediment rises, some four
months hence, it may look upona greatdued accomplished,
upon the admission of a large number of citizens now un-
enfranchised to the privilege of voting, upon an enlarge-
ment and a reform of our representative system ; and it
may look forward to a career of renewed activity, undis-
turbed by the agitation of organic changes.
The Herald ranks Mr. Disraeli's speech on Tuesday
night with the most famous efforts of parliamentary ora-
tory, and n numerous qualities thinks it has never been
surpassed in our generation. He succeeded, it says, in re-
commending the measure to the house, to the liberals, as
well as the conservatives, as one which offers a fair pro-
spect of a settlement.

The .Star insists that Mr. Disraeli has conceded nothing
of the slightest importance. The liberal leaders have ex-
plained their views with the utmost fulness and clearness,
and they must now proceed to enforce them. They will, in
all probability, indeed we may say almost certainly, pro.
pose • series of propositions as an amendment to the
motion that the Speaker now leave the chair. If ministers
accept the proposals embodied in these propositions, which
relate to the franchises, the clauses in the bill will be
altered accordingly, and the question of redistribution of
seats probably struck out entirely to be dealt with more
leisurely after the importance of the new constituencies is
appreciated. As regards the county franchise, a single
resolution will probably suffice ; but the several important
points relating to the borough franchise must be compre-
hended within the propositions offered. To grapple with
all these 'questions in committee, as they come up in
their natural order, would be, for many reasons, inconve-
nient and impolitic.

The Dor thinks the amendment proposed by Lord Gros-
venor comes nearest to the proposition of the government,
and might be accepted by them without any sacrifice of
principle. That principle is the personal payment of rates,
adopted without any reference whatever to the numbers
whom it would enfranchise, or the numbers waom it
would exclude.

GREAT INUNDATION AT WINDSOR.

Yesterday the outskirts of Windsor and Eton
were visited with such an inundation as is rarely'
witnessed in the month of March. By morning the
river had risen about five inches, and the flood covered
the low-lying land on each side of the stream. Eton
and the college on the north bank of the Thames
were almost isolated, for the waters spread rapidly
over the fields known as the "Brooms " am! South
Meadow, stretching away to the Rev. S. Havrtrey's Ma-
thematical School, thus forming a vast sliest of water,
hounded on the east by the town and college, and on the
west by the viaduct of the Great Western ItAilway. On
the east side of Eton College matters were just as had,
for nearly the whole of the well-known " playing fields"
was covered with water, which washed with much force
across the grounds, and then back into the river. The
south hank of the river, on which Windsor Castle and
the town are situated, suffered quite as much as
the northern. In a few hours the waters flooded the
" Gowen's" meadows, on the west of the royal borough,
and encroached upon the grounds at the hack of the houses
on Themes-street-hill. The Windsor gasworks were sur-
rounded. and a solitary cottage some distance from tl.e
natural bank of the river could not be approached other-
wise than by the aid of boat or punt. A largo block of
cottage property, known as Cambridge-terrace, and re-
cently purchased by Colonel Richardson-Gardener, was
also partly surrounded, and the inhabitants were obliged
to use punts in order to reach or leave their dwellings,
and in this manner the bakers and other tradesmen were
obliged to deliver their goods, although the place is seve-
ral hundred yards from the river's usual course. A large
quantity of land in the vicinity of Chewer and Bray was
also inundated, while the water was spreading on every
side. The Home-park on the west of the royal borough,
and fronting the north terrace of Windsor Castle, was
much under water, and the greater part of the land at
Dicchet and Wrayebury adjacent to the river was flooded,
Staines-moor being in a similar condition.
London, England, 1867-03-28

MOYTHEI ACCOUNT.

WINDSOR, Tiiritsoar Mrimercu.
In the course of last night the floods increased rapidly
upon the land in the suburbs of Windsor and Eton, and
the country on the western outskirts of the royal borough
and its sister town of Eton has been converted into one
vast lake quite a mile in breadth. The scene presented
by the inundation is extremely curious, the two towns
resembling a miniature Venice, locomotion on the
western outskirts being assisted by punts and boats.
The sun is shining brightly and the weather is
all that can be desired, but the large tract of land
under water must be a serious matter for the farmers of
the district. In many of the houses in Cambridge-terrace
the water has penetrated, and now lies some depth on the
lower rooms, and the flood is only kept from invading
the interior of the other houses in the district by the
boundary wall of the garden. It is lucky for
Windsor that the greater portion of the town and
Castle are situated on higher ground than that now under
water, as the whole site would have been inundated.
From the Round Tower or Keep of the Castle a singular
spectacle is revealed. The spectator sees water almost on
every side of him. The town of Eton and the college
look like a narrow *trip of land and houses surrounded
by a lake, while the flood rolls steadily over
its new territory. Away westward, the country
near the course of the Thames is nothing but a
chain of lakes. From Reading, Cookham, Maiden-
head, and other places serious accounts reach us of
the invasion of the country by the water, while the land
in the D•tchet and Wraysbnry district is in a similar con-
dition. Even supposing that the weather should remain
fine, it must be days before so great an extent of country
as that now inundated can be cleared of the flood; conse-
quently farming operations will have to be greatly delayed.
