EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PROM OUR OWX CORIZIPONDRINT.)
PARIS, THURSDAY EVINTRO.
A letter in the CourKer Francais, signed by a M.
Paul Laurent, asks the following " simple ques-
tions :"—" Why has M. Paul de Csasagnac never mm
dergone the two months' imprisonment to which he
was sentenced for libel upon MM. Malespin and
Gueroult 1 Why has he never suffered the other
two months' imprisonment to which he was sen-
tenced for his duel with M. Rochefort 1 and why
was he never prosecuted for his duel with M.
Lermina These are questions which really ought
to be answered. It is a fearful thing that a professed
duellist who boasts, as M. Paul de Cassagnse does
in the Pays this evening, of the number of duels he
has fought, should, with the encouragement of his
father, a government deputy and a government
journalist, be let loose to bully political opponents
who will not fight him, and be assured that the
common law is suspended in his favour.
The Patric says :

It wee intended that the Empress should be in England
during the Mks given to the Sultan, but the mourning of
the French court having prevented the realisation of this
project, her Majesty has determined to pay a private visit
to the Queen of England at Windsor. The Empress will
leave Paris on Sunday or Monday. Her stay in England
will not exceed 48 hours, and she will perhaps come back
by way of Cherbourg.

The Bourse closed with scarcely any change from

THE LATE NAVAL REVIEW.

In reply to Mr. S
Mr. 121 lit UV said that the ships intended for review had
not weighed anchor in consequence of the cloudy and bois-

WESTMINITER.

A number of tradesmen and others waited upon Mr.
Arnold, and laid before him the following complaint :
" We, the undersigned, do herewith record our protest
against the disreputable scenes of drunkenness, rioting,
and prostitution daily occurring in York-street, Westmin-
ster, and in vicinity, the want of protection to our busi-
ness interests, to our house comforts, and to that decency
which is only becoming and necessary to civilised life,
through the insufficiency of police regulation and supervi-
sion."
The deputation went into a detail of the'
disgracefal state of the neighbourhood. They said
that • number of the houses taken by the Me-
tropolitan Railway had been left by old and
well conducted occupants, and were now let oat
by persons who had got possession of them in single
rooms to bad characters. Disorders with these and other
persons were so frequent, that tradesmen had to keep
their servants in readiness to put up theirshutters at any
hour in the day, and one tradesman had been obliged
recently to put his up throe times in the course of one
morning. It was a scene of riot and confusion all day
long, and the street was neither St for any respectable
person to live in or pus through • the language, in addi-
tion to the common brawls, being of the most in-
decent and frightful character. During the day
nowds of the lowest order were dancing on
the pavement to street organs, and on Sun-
days knots of the worst grade were congregated toss-
ing. There were two very objectionable public houses in
the neighbourhood, and besides the daily evils complained
of, then was revelling and rioting all night. When the

of the disorderly characters with which the place is
infested, saw • fight, they contented themselves with

VIOLATION OF THE VACCINATION ACT.-INFLICTION OF
THE FULL PENALTY.

Jo mi.* Allele. of Blaekhorsedieldo, Deptford, appeared
to an adjourned summons before Mr. Traill, charging him
with neglecting to have a child above the age of three
months, of which he is the father, vaccinated, after
receiving notice requiring him to do so.
Mr. Henderson, surgeon, and one of the public vaccine-
ton for the parish of Deptford, said that in consequence
of the prevalence of smallpox in the parish, and seven
caws occurring within 100 yards of the defendant's real.
dence, be had called at the several houses personally and
inspected children. He visited the defendant's house and
saw the wife and child, and told her it would be necessary
she should take the child to her own medical attendant
for the purpose of having it vaccinated, or he would
vaccinate it himself. The wife refused, and the present
summons was issued. _ _

The defendant said he was not at home, or the refusal
to have the child vaccinated would not have been mrde.
The operation had since been performed.
Mr. Traill told the defendant that the law required him
to take, or cause to be taken, his child for the purpose of
vaccination, and delay in doing so might have been the
means of spreading smallpox in the district. He should,
therefore, Impose the full penalty of 20s. and testa.

park when the SULTAN passed through. An
immense crowd was there, who cheered hint " with
" all the strength of their lungs." " Why ?"
asks this silent and thoughtful observer. Is
it by way of acknowledging the conde-
scension of the successor of the Caliphs in
coming so far to pay court to Western philo- '
sophy ? Is it a simple act of hospitable claty ?
No ; for enthusiasm is no part of hospitality. It
can only be " because the SULTAN is the SULTAN."
Potentates, in their simple capacity of potentates,
haverights which mankind aretoomenial to contest.
Again, at the reception of the SULTAN at Guildhall,
there was something like a momentary inteutt among
' the three thousand highly-privileged guests who were
waiting two hours and a-half for the guest of the
' evening. Some of the ladies stood upon chairs to
get a better coup d'ait, amidst indignant
shouts of " Down ! off the chairs !" Fortunately,
the intervention of the police was not required to
I restore order.

Turning to the reception of the Belgian Volun-
teers, M. Louis BLANC relates the aeries of ova-
tions and entertainments, and concludes with the
following sensible reflections :—" Oh ! English
" people, unintelligible people, how is it that,
" having on so many points so much good sense,
" you have so little sense of the proportion and
" fitness of things f Certainly it was a duty Eng-
" laud owed to herself to give a hearty welcome
"to the citizens of Belgium, by whom her own
" citizens had been so well received, and who are
" every way deserving of her sympathies. But
" enthusiasm carried to such a pitch as this looks
" a little childish. Can it be that in receiving
" with open arms these Belgian civic guards, Eng-
, " land is taking precautions against France Y The
" English press says no. Irani suit qui mat y
" pease." For our own part, we are all the more
at ease in repudiating any such arriere peasEe, be-
cause we know that nowhere has the independence
of Belgium stauncher friends than in Liberal
France, and because we entirely agree with M.
Louis BLetto in his remarks on the ludicrous
1 extravagance of the demonstrative portion of the
IBritish public. The French badand is no match for
the British " looker on " in all the qualities that
distinguish that harmless and necessary, but foolish
animal. But we must pause, or we shall only be
confirming M. Louis BLANC'S remark that though
the English very naturally don't like to be criti-
cised by foreigners, it is one of their peculiarities to
criticise themselves with an astonishing inflexibility
of judgment and exaggeration of modesty. Un-
fortunately this habit is only too compatible with
immense self-complacency. Aud it is because we
think such criticism as M. Lot:is BLANC bestows
upon us a better moral diet for national conceit
than we can prescribe for ourselves that we recom-
mend it to the convalescent sanity of the English
public, after the follies of last week.

THE POLICE COURT&

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

James krao4n-,;journeyman—tailor, was summoned
before Mr. d'Eyncourt, charged with attempting, by
threats and intimidation, to force John Riley, another
journeyman tailor, to depart from his hiring and employ-
ment.

Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Messrs. Valiance and Val-
iance, was for the prosecution; and Mr. IVeatherhead,
from the office of Mr. Beard, for the defence.
. .

Mr. Sleigh stated that the charge against the defendant
was for endeavouring, by threats and intimidation, to force
the complainant Riley to leave the employ of Messrs.
' Winchester and Messrs. Davis and Goodman, master
tailors, the defendant'. conduct being aggravated by the
circumstance that he had made use of filthy and disgust-
ing language towards the complainant's wife.
Mr. Weatherbead contended that nothing more than a
public-house row had occurred. The row took place be-
tween two tailors and the wife of one of therm If any
threats bad been used they bad been used towards the
wife, and through the wife to the husband. The evidence
was also contradictory and could not be depended upon.
Mr. d'liyncourt had hoped that the operative tailors
were coming to their senses, and bad begun, not only to
see the folly of their conduct, but that public feeling was
against them. This, however, he wan sorry to say, did
not appear to be the case. All ho had, therefore, to do
was to put the law in force, and he must send the defen-
dant to prison for three months.

UNIVERAITY TESTS.

The Daily Nrl,B remarks that the equal division which
took place last Wednesday upon Mr. Fawcett's motion for
throwing open the fellowships and foundation scholarships
of Trinity College, Dublin, to persons who may not be
members of the church of England, symbolises the dead-
lock at which the subject of Irish national education has
arrived. The existing arrangements are a compromise be-
, tween the mixed and the separate, the secu'ar and de-
nominational systems of education. A point has
now been reached at which any further concession to
one of these principles will give it the ultimate victory
over its antagonist. The votes of the Roman catholic
members on Wednesday confirm the view that the demand
of the Roman catholic lalfy for the endowment of the
catholic university was rather an expression of resentment
at the exclusive sectarian privileges enjoyed by the church
of England in Trinity College, and an assertion of the
right of their own church to similar advantages, than due
to any deliberate and fixed opinion in favour of the system
of denominational, and against the system of united edu-
cation. Despite the vote of the House of Lords last night,
the direction in which public opinion sets is unmistake-
ably in favour of establishing a system of state education
open, on equal conditions, to all subjects of the state.
This plan can alone claim to be truly national—either in
principle or in the range of its operations.
The Herald sa3s, that Dublin University was specially
founded and endowed for the education of the protestant
clergy, and it was just as unreasonable to propose that
seats at its board should be thrown open to dissenters and
catholics as it would be to demand that protestants should
be admitted to the chairs at Maynooth, which enjoys an
income from the state of very little less, according to the
Irish Attorney-General, than the revenue which Trinity
College derives from its estates.

THE STORM IN THE METROPOLIS.

This morning, at an early hour, a heavy storm
broke over the metropolis, and for several hours the rain
fell more severely then has been experienced this season.
The main thoroughfares in the City and West-end at
5 and G o'clock were almost impassable in con-
sequence of the heaviness of the rain, which was
blown to the ground with
i great force and the
ss traffic of persons who have business the streets in the
early hours was out of the question. Cabs were few and
far between, and even then they presented a sorry
spectacle, the horses being drenched to the akin and
the insides of the vehicles swamped with rain.
The water for three hours at least ran down
Fleet-street and the Strand like a stream. The plat-
form at the terminus of the Ludgate-hill station was
soaked, se also indeed may be said of most of the stations
on the various lines. The business at the markets was
carried on only with great difficulty.
It is feared that the crops, which now require uninter-
rupted fine weather, will be considerably retarded by the
heavy rains.

Yesterday, at Bristol, the Rev. Mr. Bedford
was elected president of the Wesleyan Conference for the
ensuing year.

STRIKE AT GRANTRAM.—A strike occurred at the
works of Messrs. Hornsby, the eminent agricultural imple-
ment manufactrrere, last week. On this occasion the
strike did not orgies de with the Trades' Union society, but
arose out of some not very distinct feeling or prejudice. It
seems Mr. Hempstead, A non-unionist man, has held the
office of foreman of the foundery for I,years, and vacated
his post to enter upon business for himself, his brother
temporarily performing his duties. The Messrs. Hornsby
decided to appoint Mr. Fleetwood as his successor.
This gentleman, it would appear, is not popular at
least with some of the workmen, for on Wednes-
day, the 17th, the moulders, numbering upwards
of 70, decided to strike work if he were appointed,
and on Thursday morning sent a depntrtion to their em-

hear, individually, whether they would work under Mr.
Fleetwood, and repeated their determination not to do
so, and have since remained unemployed. On Monday

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PROW OUR OWN 00ILIMPONDKNS.)
PARIS, THERSDAT EVENING.

Those who only judge of the effect produced by
M. Berryer's speech on the Mexican Obligations
from what they read in the French papers hitherto!
published are liable to be grievously misled. In
the first place, for the reasons I explained a few
days ago, such journals as are in arrear with the
debates cannot safely say a word about those re-
ported in the Moniteur. This accounts for the
silence of some. But it is moreover notorious that
a very large proportion of the Pawn; press is in the
hands of speculating bankers, some of whom are
interested in the affairs in question. It is not
wonderful, therefore, to read in some of the papers
of the day that M. Berryer's speech was quite un- '
necessary, and very little interesting. The Debuts,
however, taking the practical view which 1 did
yesterday, that M. Berryer's speech is likely to en-
force
the payment to the Treasury of upwards of a
million sterling, which the government was pre-
pared to sacrifice, says :—" Men who yet believe,
as it was the fashion to teach us some time back,
that parliamentary eloquence consisted necessarily
of pompous words and sonorous and empty
phrases, may undeceive themselves by reading the
report of this business-like discussion."
M. Emile de Girardin, who never fails to see an
advantage in a controversy, or to avail himself of
it to the utmost, writes the following stinging lines
in the Liberti, with the heading, " A Fatal Expe-
dition" :
Unpardonable illusions, profound errors, flagrant false-
hoods, cruel refutations—nothing will have been wanting
to the history of that f►tal expedition which began with
the Jecker bonds and ended with the Pinard letter of de-
feasance. The long debates, which occupy 18 columns in
the Moniteur, will produce on the mind of the whole
country the same impression which they did upon that of
the honourable member of the majority, M. Pouyer-
Quertier, and which impression he expressed
like a conscientious juryman, giving a verdict of
guilty with a sorrowful heart. Under a parlia-
mentary system, this debate—especially after the
significant declaration of M. Dumiral, the reporter on the
budget—would have led to the resignation of ministers the
very same evening. Of the eloquent and crushing speech
of M. Berryer—to which MM. liaroche and Houher (two
against one) replied, we will only say one word—Head!

The Moniteur, in reporting the reading by M.
Schneider of the Emperor's letter, putting an end
to the legislative session, records that in addition
to several cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" (which
are de riguenr), there wore several cries of " Vive
la Libert4 !"

THE QUEEN AND THE SULTAN.

We are authorized to publish the following
telegraphic message from her Majesty to the
Sultan on the morning of his Imperial Majesty's
departure:

"OSBORNE, JULY 23, 1867, 9 A.Y.

" I offer to the Sultan my best wishes for his
safe return home, and every good wish for his wel-
fare and happiness."
To this message the Sultan telegraphed the follow-
ing reply :

"BUCKINGHAM PALACE, JULY 23, 1867,
10.30 A.m.

"Je remercie votre Majest4 de cette nouvelle
marque de bienveillanoe quo je recois d'elle au
moment demon dipart. Je reste D jamais re-
commissant de l'accueil cordial qu'elle a bien voulu
me faire, ainsi que is royale famine et son people.

un Bternel souvenir des joule agrdables que j'ai

" ABDUL Aziz KHAN."

[TRL.NSLATION.]

I thank your Majesty for this fresh mark of
kindness which I receive from you at the moment
of my departure. I shall ever remain grateful for
the cordial reception accorded to mo by you and by
your royal family and people. I sincerely trust
that the precious days of your Majesty will be pre-
served, and I shill retain an eternal recollection of
the agreeable days I have spent upon the hospil.
able soil of England. ABDUL AZIZ KuAN.

THE EARL OF DERBY. —The Earl of Derby is
confined to his bed by en attack of Boutin his elbow and
hand. He wee seized with it on Tuesday night. The
malady ban somewhat increased in intensity. It will pro-
bably be some days before his lordship can resume his
place in the House of Lords.

Her Majesty has been pleased to approve of
Major-General William Anson MoCleverty being placed
on the staff of the army in India as a lieutenant-general,
with local rank, with the view to his commanding the
troops in Madras.

The name of Viscount Sydney, lord lieutenant
of the county of Kent, should be added to the list of those
who attended upon his Imperial Majesty the Sultan at his
departure from Dover on Tuesday Mat.

His Highness the Viceroy, prior to leaving Eng-
land, is said to have made arrangements for the admission
of 20 Egyptian youths to one of our principal public
school,.

MO AND BET NN BANKRUPTCT.

If the validity of the claim of the London, Chatham,
and Dover Company against the estate of the above bank-
rupts be valid, the other creditors, remarks the Tim a,
except those who may hold collateral securities, must re-
sign all prospect of a substantial dividend. If it be de-
feated, we infer from the statements of Memirs. Pettis
solicitors that the assets, when realised, will go
far to cover the liab;lities. It was, therefore, ab-
solutely necessary that all consideration of it should
be postponed for the present, and it a.ll probably
engross the attention of the court during the autumn.
It is not without a sense of national humiliation that we
contemplate the failure of a house which is identified with
some of the grandest mechanical achievements of the
present century. The fall of Sir 111Peto has probably been
sa severe a shock to public confidence, in its own way, as
that of Messrs. Overend and Gurney. It remains to be
seen whether the lesson to be derived from it will be
equally laid to heart. That lesson is the essential un-
soundness of " contractors' lines." Common sense tells us
that a contractor's business is to execute works and receive
payment for them, not to advance money or place shares
on commission.

SHOCKING AND FATAL OCCURRENCE.

Last evening a shocking occurrence happened at
Hackney Marshes, which has resulted in fatal °case-
/moues to one if not more persons. It appears that
towards evening a phaeton, in which were a gentleman,
his wife, and three children, were being dnven by the
former along the road through the marshes leading from
Homerton to Stratford, in Essex, when, on nearing
the bridge which crosses Sir John Duckett's Canal, the
horse took fright from some cause not apparent, and the
driver losing all control of the animal, which appears
to have been very high spirited, it dashed along
at a fearful rate, and could not be brought
up. The lady and the children in the phaeton
were of course very frightened, but kept their
places, little thinking of the fearful result which
was about to follow. Within a very short time of the
horse dashing off it wee noticed by many persons who
were unable to arrest its progress, that it was making
towards the canal, and rushing over the bank the whole
party were precipitated into the water, which at this spot
is of considerable depth. A scene of the wildest excitement
instantly prevailed, and several persons rushing
to the canal the gentleman, bis wife, and two of the
children were with difficulty rescued ; the other child wee
not extricated till life was extinct, and another one is in
an almost hopeless condition. On being taken out of the
water, the unfortunate persons were conveyed to the
Victoria Tavern adjoining, where they received every
attention. The carnage was completely destroyed, and
the horse so much injured that it had to be killed.

3114CELLAND)Um TOPICs.

Observing that the rights of the public to the use of the
parka is one of the questions which will bring the qualill.
cations of the new Home Secretary to the test of actual
trial, the Times says it would be uncandid to disguise the
fact that in none of the cases of parks quoted against the
League Is the parallel complete or the example applicable.
The reason, and perhaps the only reason, for making an
exception in the ease of the London parks is that they are
the only places avail.ble, to which we may now perhaps
add that the public inconvenience of such gatherings has
proved to be less than was imagined. It is the duty of
government, however, to consider not special but common
interests, and that in due season should bo the course
adopted. At present it would be better to rely upon that
general discretion which all parties seem ready both to
anticipate and promise, and postpone discussion until
irritation and animosities have subsided.

The Daily Neva describes the scheme which the select
committee on the local government of the metropolis has
recommended to parliament. The changes are important
and useful, but can hardly be accepted as a satisfactory
basis. The establishment, for example, of a body of jus-
tices of the peace—half for the sake of exercising autho-
rity as magistrates, half as a representative institution—
is a device which cannot be commended. Similar weak-
I nem and inconsequence is shown in dealing with the
(representatives of other interests to be sent to the
Supreme Municipal Council.
The Star believes the provisions of the Scottish Reform
Bill will substantially be the same as those of the English
measure—the rating franchise being conceded in boroughs,
which will be virtually, according to Scotch practice, a M.
rental occupation franchise. In counties the occupation
franchise will be the Milli* as in England, and 5/. property
in place of 10/. property as at present. There are no 40a,
freeholds among Scotch county qualifications. The exact
number of seats to be allocated to Scotland has not as yet
been determined, nor the exact mode of redistribution.
It is believed, however, that a seat will be given to the
conjoined universities.

The T..triroph thinks it ha:arils little in affirming that
