the least wish to preen unfairly against the Company.
We ere Toile ready to give it all the credit to which it
is reasonably entitled. No candid person who bears
Is mind what the London omnibus was some two or
three years took, and what it is now, will fail to
acknowledge that both directly and indirectly the
A/mention hie hew of mom service to the London
dtizen. The baild of the carriages is improved; the
quality of the service is improved. Inside there is
some approach to decent cleanliness and due venti-
lation ; outside it is possible to ascend without danger,
sail to it without absolute discomfort. The wet-
dew nuisance is considerably abated. There is a
gispiglible mitigation in the Milani= of the eon-
dellers. Without having thoroughly moan-
4111alsed themselves is "ingenuous arts," they
Mee at all events dropped some of the ferocity of
.their ancient manners. The mode of communicating
the wants and wishes of the interior to this genus
bedheiale is Ism primitive and barbarous than it was.
People with feeble voices are lam helpless, and spin-
sters with active umbrellas are less formidable, than
ia the unimproved times, when to shout and to poke
were the only methods of intimating a desire to be
milt down. The heightening of the roofs and the
esedilation from above are to be noted as decided
=of advance. There are now omnibuses to
in which it is possible to escape the miser-
able alternative of suffocation when the windows are
ap, or bronchitis when they are down. Contrivances
have been devised by means of which the moot cor-
palest matron may reach the far interior without
crushing the toes or settling down upon the
knees of her sawing fellow-creatures. The sow
eitivenem of the British female is less exposed to
distress, and the corns of the British public are more
exempt from torture. For all these improvements
the great omnibus public have reason to be duly grate-
faL Rome of them are unquestionably due to the
direct improvements introduced by the new Com-
pany. Still more, to the indirect influence of that
wholesome competition which the Company has done
its best to put down.

Bat while all fair admission of this kind are
cheerfully made,the broad fact is not to be disguised
that this Company has sought to effect a monopoly,
by the mot open and offensive exertion of the money
power. In the pursuit of this object it has re-
sorted to means, the adoption of which is as dis-
creditable to the Association, es the failure to
suppers them has been disgraceful to the
poops of the metropolis. In this very Report
the Directors state the belief which actuated thus
in starting the Association. They ware fully con-
vinced that no opposition could be set on foot against
a Company " with such large means at its eons-
" mend." In amounting for the enormous amount
of their working expenses—upwards of 282,0001.0 s
the half-year, against 191,0001. of receipts—they
' frankly refer to the necessity "of maintaining oar
" position against our opponents at any cost." The
London public know rutty well how "this opposition
"at any oast" has been emanated. Nothing more
offensive to public decency, or more hazardous to
public safety, has ever been exhibited in the tho-
ronghfares of a great city. Without the slightest re-
fannies to public accommodation, but solely with the
view of putting down opponents at any met, this
Association has employed the large means at its dis-
' pont in running a couple of omnibuses, sometimes
more, against the single omnibus of any independent
competitor. The men employed by the Association
have had strict instructions constantly to dodge their
competitors—to "nurse them," according to the cur-
rent slang of the streets, or, u one of the drivers ex-
plained the process in a police-court, " to keep one
" behind and one before, wherever they go." The
scandalous consequences that have necessarily fol-
lowed this overbearing attempt at establishing a
monopoly of the road, are notorious to all residents in
the metropolis. Our police reports are full of
them, our daily walks bear witness to them : it
would be absurd to enlarge upon them here.
Now then let the managers of the London
Omnibus Association be well sawed that this'
is a sort of thing which the British public will not
kelente. It offends two very " energetic sentiments"
of the Leaden/sr—hie love of order, and his love of
fair play. If the Directors of this Company mean to
mania their old game of wasting the property of
their shareholders in attempting to " put down oppe-
• sition at any cost"—if they mean to persevere is
endeavouring to establish a monopoly by making our
streets scandalous, our polies regale:time contemp-
tible, and our lives insecure—they may just as well
shot up shop at once. This kind of thing will
never do in England. Unless they mean to abandon
this style of proceeding, the Company, instead
of transferring their seat of management from
Paris to London, had better transfer their sphere
of operations from London to Paris. If, at
the other hand, without aiming at an odious mane•
poly, they are metut with seeking to establish
themselves in public favour by the superiority of their

earominedatioil, they may rest assured that there
nem will be, as there never has been, any unfair
holing against them simply on the ground that they
were organised in France, and have been partly
managed by Frenchmen.

Coligny, belphig M. de Piennee, w 4 the
ift latest inetimiltions of the French golifnment
liSve to the affair of the Charles Georges, did
not reach Lisbon so soon as was expected. It en-
countered bad weather, and only arrived, as we now
learn by telegraph, on the 19th. A telegram from
Vigo says that M. de Pairs would not arrive at
Lisbon till this evening or to-morrow morning. The
Toulon fleet is all in readiness to sail in case it should
receive orders by telegraph; bat although nothing
certain is known, the confident feeling that the
peace will not be broken remain. unshaken. A
Lisbon letter of the 16th states that Admiral La-
vand on his arrival in the Tagus paid a visit to the
French Sisters of Charity.
The following paragraph, the wording of which
requires to be carefully weighed, is order if possible
to extract Its true meaning, has been sent to the
emni-official journal :

Hu am rightly informed, his Extolling the Minister
et the Interior, out of his anxiety to fad/hate
latereational relations, has given orders to the CM*.
mhosrles of polio, of the ports and frontiers, re-
quiring them Itsooeforth to look upon paorports as eon/erring
• title to the protection of the authorities, and not u a came
of delay, or a pretext for petty annoyances. The minister
is also emseklering the question whether, in order to ea-
courage travelling, it might not be well to authorise the cub-
prefect of the land and sea frontiers to issue passports toe
fondles countries in the name of the prefect. Both these
maseares will, we are certain, be reoelved with the utmost
favour. Nothing could be more worthy of the Emperor's
government than to respond, by this display of confidants,
to the absurd attacks which are menstbstee made upon It.
Although I am not sufficiently versed in the art
of interpreting official language to offer any rag-
gestion as to what practical difference in the pin- I
port system is promised by this manifestation, I
cannot help thinking that M. Delangle's good
sense has led him to see that it it
altogether useless, and that, en ationsfast,
the total abolition which mut come, bier real inten-
tion is imply to keep up the form for the benefit of
the clerk' employed. It is at all events matter for
congratulation to see an official declaration that pass-
ports are not meant to be instruments of oppression or
annoyancut a time whena prated ofa souther" depart-

monis:luny proposed that the government should
refuse passports to every individual ender twenty-
one yaws of age, in order to stem the tide of emigra-
tion by die working dames in his district to better
their condition.

The Council of State met to-day for the fleet time
since the vacation, M. Bezoohe in the chair. It is
believed that several important bills, and amongst
them one for endow log a •ew creation of noble-4

ing a rural code, will be immediately discussed.

It is stated that • difference between Piedmont

Crsoit ors on!

On authority which I cannot doubt, it has
transpired here that Lord Malmesbury has pro-
posed to the King of Naples, through the
medium of Count Bernstorff, that the pri-
sonersof Ifontesarehio should be liberated and sent
out of the country on the terms of the treaty made
with the Argentine Republic two years ago. The
King is stated to have replied that it would be in.
?amble to sot on that treaty, as it had expired, and
rt was not like that it would be renewed ; more-
over, that his Majesty had offered pardon to the pri-
sewers of Montesarchio repeatedly, provided they
would ask the Kings pardon.
That liberty has beau premised to those unfora-
nate men several times as these conditions is
undoubtedly true ; bat it is equally true that
several did ask perdu, which was never
granted, and that several begged to have a new
.
u they were perbstly innocent of the crime for
which they were condemned, and amid not ask
p.ardon. I mast content myself at preiwnt with a
simple statuseat of frets ; but England will well
know bow to to the manner in which Lord
Malmeating de ends British honour abroad, and of
how little value he considers to be the interests of a
people whose only hopes of amelioration depend
on foreign moral support, if not foreign int/inseam.

ROILS, Ocr. 16.
The Duke of Modena, who has been laboriously
lionized about Rome for the lag fortnight, and hos-
pitably entertained by hist:fa/mos at dinner on two
stmeesinve Thursdays, first at the Benedictine con-
vent of Bt. Paul, and then at the casino in the
Vatican gardens, has given a proof of his gratitude
towards the Supreme Pontiff by offering him the
services of a general renowned for his devotion to
the house of Este, Count Guerra, an officer of expe-
rience, who, it may be recollected, commanded the
expedition directed in 1848 against the territory of
Fivizzano, which, on the resignation of the Duke of
Laces, devolved to Modena according to treaty,
but which resisted separation from the then liberal
Grand Duchy of Tuscany, until coerced by General
Guerra and his Austrian allies.
In case of the Pope's accepting this offer, which is
said to be already decided upon, the present oom-
slander of the Papal army, General di Gregorio, a
Spaniard by birth, would retire into honourable inac-
tivity, consoled perhaps by the cross of the Legion of
Honour, which was conferred upon him on the morn-
' big of the 14th, with a fraternal embrace, by General
Count de Ooyon, in the name of the Emperor of the
French, and in the presence of the Roman and
Swiss troops, amounting to four battalions of in-
fantry, one battery of artillery, and half a regiment
of cavalry at present in garrison in Rome. A
similar honour was conferred on the general's aide-
de.cemp, Major ahead.
General Omen Is already in Rome, and will, it is
said, cowman erseatiem by re-organizing the Pon-

The Gazette of to-day publishes a circular of the
Minister of Public Works, in which he reoommends
all persons employed in public offioee to abstain from
using any influence in the elections. The electoral
accounts which have been received are favourable to
the government.
Letters from Bilboa give en account of the inau-
guration of the Bilboa and Tadela Railroad works,
which have been commenced near that city. As the
weather was magnificent an immense crowd assem-
bled to witnem the ceremony. The chief engineer,
Mr.Vignolles,preeented several tools to the chairman
of the company, Don Pablo de Epalie, and, after
addressing him in English, proposed three cheers for
the Bilboa Railway, which were heartily given.
Afterwards M. de Epalra threw a few 'hovel-
full, of earth into a wheelbarrow, and his example
was followed by the vice-president, M. Arellano.
The English engineer then, taking off his coat and
hat, dug a few minutes amidst much cheering, and
then addressing himself to the people called down
the blessing of Heaven on the railway. The pro-
ceedings then terminated.

BERLIN, Ocr. 19.
The seizure yesterday of the liberal National Zei-
rang has disabused the Berlin ,public of precocious
hopes. Tee pretended incriminating article was a
leader reviewing the programme of the Breslau Con-
stitutional Committee for securing the return of
liberal members at the approaching general elec-
tions, and recommending it as the basis of other
similar associations. But se it naturally contained
some strictures on ministerial aware. foe which
the whole of the ministers ass tbeihmeible in solid.,
they would not brook such diseemise. end hence the
seizure. It appears, then, that the last days of Herr
von Westphalen's regime have returned, and that
the old system will be persevered in till the Prince
Regent having taken the required oath to respect
the constitution, shall be at liberty to reform his
cabinet end make the other alterations which he is
now diligently preparing.
In consequence of this seizure, the election com-
mittee, which, as I have already informed you, was
being formed in this city, has at a meeting held to-
day resolved to remain quiet for the present, and
Cthont absolutely dissolving itself, take no public
steps till it is seen what turn affairs will take on the
appointment of a new ministry.
The Breslau programme, which I sent you the
heads is my last letter, is signed by all the leading
liberals of Silesia, and includes the names of some
well-known members of both houses, such as Prince
H.atzfeldt, Count Heim, Baron Richthofen, Count
York, Herr von Wartenburg, and Von Flake--all
of whom stand very high in the public estimation as
unflinching and uncompromising liberals. The pro-
gramme, though it doss not go so far as could be
wished by the moderate democratic party, has been
well received by the latter, so that there is no memo
to fear a split between the constitutionalists and the
democrats, which the 'freer-Z.4meg party antici-

The eventual retirement of General Count Wal-
derma from the War-office is now considered oer-
tete, and the liberal•minded General von Bonin—
who it will be remembered was Commander-in-

Chief of the Schleswig-Holstein Army in 1849 and

The royal steam yacht Grills, lately bearing the
Hag of Admiral Prince Adalbert, has arrived from
Hamburg at Daneholm, the new Pruesian naval
station on the Island of Rhea' near Stralsund,
where preparations are making to dismantle and lay
her up for the winter. The works for improving,
deepening, and fortifying this new arsenal have been
carried on all the summer with great spirit and sad-
deity on the part of the naval authorities, and

the Jande-Buen on the North Sea coast, which it is

treat into public life. At the direct invitation of
the Prises Regent he is to repair immediately to
Berlin to take his seat as member of the Upper
House. Since his retirement from the diplomatic
career the Chevalier has been ennobled, and now
writhe himself Von Bunsen.
