The debentures of the first Indian loan remain
quoted 991 to 1, and those of the second issue
99t to i.
The Mirth Exchequer Bills were likewise sta-
tionary, at 335. to 38e. prem.; and the June, at 295.
to 32e. prem. India Bonds were dealt in at 10s. to

foreign stock market was quiet. The new
Turkish loan was steady, the scrip of the first series
closing at dig. to 1 prem., and that of the second
series at I to 1 prem. The Six per Cants. of 1864
left off the same as yesterday, at 921 to t. There
were inquiries for the Brazilian loan of the present
year, as well as for Venezuelan Bonds, in the latter
instance owing to the hopes inspired that the return
of General Peer and the establishment of a settled
and honest government will be immediately fol-
lowed by an arrangement with the foreign creditors
of the republic. Peruvian Bonds were rather more
offered in the morning, but soon regained firmness.

HANOVER.

Advice. from Hamburg, of the 18th, announce
that the First Chamber of Hanover has rejected the
government bill on judicial organisation, and that •
ministerial crisis was the immediate consequence of
the vote. A foreign contemporary observer on this
incident: " It is doubtful whether the cabinet of
King George would, a few months ago, have thought
of retiring before a parliamentary vote, u the minis-
ters did not pique themselves on a strict adherence
to the constitutional system. Bat now may be al-
ready seen in the resolution come to the first fruits
of the happy change which has been lately effected
in the government and policy of Prussia." These re-
flections, perhaps too sa•guae, are on the whole
very just, bat is it not surprising that a French
paper, the Patrie, should be the first to congratu-
late Hanover on a return to parliamentary govern-
ment ?

DENMARI AND GERMANY.

The King of Denmark announces that he has
made his last concession to German claims, and that
if any further demands are made he will stand on
his rights, appealing to the patriotism of his people
and the friendship of his allies. In a circular de-
spatch of Nov. 8, addressed by M. Hall, the Danish
minister of foreign affairs, to the Danish ministers in
London, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Stockholm, after
a recapitulation of the various often-etated facts of
the question, we read :

AUSTRIAN ITALY.

The new law on recruitment in Lombardy, letters
state, causes a strong feeling of discontent through-
out the whole country. The duration of service is
increued from five years to seven, while the grounds
of exemption have been much restricted. The new
law produces opposition even among those of the
nobility, who had hitherto shown themselves the
firm supporters of the acts of the Austrian govern-
ment.

THE EIMER
_9ll TWQ_CHILDREN AT

CLBVIDON.

On Thursday afternoon an inquest was held at
Clevadon on the bodies of the two children who were drowned
there Ly their mother, as briefly reported in our paper
yesterday.
The following statement, made by the mother to the super-
intendent of police, to whom she gave herself up, wee taken
in evidence On Monday morning lea, my husband was
cool to ma, in consequence of my not having paid some texas.
We had • few words, and I told him I would leave him, and
be said I bad better go. I remained at home with my
children that day, and my husband on his return that night
appeared cool, and did nut speak kind as usual. On the fol-
lowing morning I got up and prepared breekfast for my
husband end two children, and we breakfasted together.
He was then kind to me. On leaving the house to go to work
be kissed the two children, and after he was gone I dressed
both my children and took them out, with a view to carry
out my threat of leaving him. 1 went to the Bristol and
Ruder Railway station in Bristol, and took tickets for Clove-
don, and left with my children Ly the ten minutes to three
train, and arrived at Clevedon about four o'clock that after-
noon. As soon as I got to Clevedon I went to • shop near
the railway and bought a tart and some gingerbread for the
children. I then walked about Clevedon till eight or nine
o'clock, sad then went into a Leer holies near the Bristol
Hotel, sad had a glove of beer. I then walked about the
town said round the beach, till about ten o'clock. I set on
a seat lacing the water, end my two children went to sleep in
my arms. I walked down the sends and met the tide with
my two children in my arms. I walked somo distance into
the water, and then threw myself down with the children
into th, water, and the children still asleep in my
arms. I then got up, leaving my two children in the
water, and went and sat cm the beach to see
if my children washed ashore. I waited some time but
never saw them afterwards. Before I went into the water I
put my bonnet and mantle on the sends at the edge of the
water. I also wrote a letter to my husband, which I placed
upon the beach. I then walked away, and had nut gone far
when I saw two boys standing, with a light, at a stable door
near the spot. I heard the boys my that woman Is mad, but
I did not speak to them. I walked on the reed to Ashton."
The eremite's husband, a painter, named Williams, living
at St. George's, Oloucesterahire, stated that he last saw his
wile at 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning. His children were
thew alive and well. He kad been marrkd to his wife about
four Year*, and they had lived happily. She had been sub-
ject' to At.. They had bad no altercation. He did ask her on
Monday about a rate which she ought to have paid, and she
told him that the man was going to Ming • receipt. Wit,
nets could not at all account for her haring committed so
desperate an act.
The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against
Elisabeth Williams.

THE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AT

CHERBOURG.

(710 IL 01/Ii SPECIAL 001

CHERBOURG, TntIiSDAY.

The parliamentary steamer Pets arrived yester-
day evening with about 100 members of the House
of Commons, under the care of Captain Gosset, and
efficiently escorted by Mr. Bray, an active inspector
of the A division. I understand that the hon. mem-
bers are, so far, not over-satisfied with their recep-
tion, and that debates, quite u warm u those on
the India Bill, have arisen on the question of
whether they should return forthwith to England,
or wait for further explanations. Some gentle-
men, I learn, are particularly emphatic in expressing
their intentions as to what they mean to do when
next the estimates come under dismission, and others
are for pressing the question of sojourn or
departure to an immediate vote. I saw a deputation
of them come ashore this morning, headed by Mr.
Cowper, and escorted by Mr. Bray, their object
being to obtain permission for a visit to the Arsenal.
It was found, however, that in consequence of the
preparations for Saturday's ceremonial the thing
was impossible; and the disappointed senators re-
turned to their ship, probably to resume with still
greater earnestness their previous debate. I must
say, speaking in all candour, that—looking at the
vast size of the dock—it seems rather sur-
prising that a promenade of leas than a
hundred gentlemen should in any way
interfere with even the most complicated prepa-
rations. But the fact, I believe, is that the autho-
rities here are puzzled to know in what way to receive
the English deputies. They ask whether they are
to be considered as the C'orps Legislatif, and if the
Speaker heads the party. They are assured in the
negative, and merely told that they area section of the
Route of Commons, who have oome over to take
their pleasure, and that therefore the individuals easo_i
prising the party are to berated only as any other pri-
vat° gentlemen. In this dilemma no special pro-
vision is made for their reception, and the probability
is that they will return to England with views
leaning more to the establishment of a stout Channel

fleet than were exhibited during the lut session of
parliament.
London, England, 1858-08-07

Prince Albert replied in the following terms:

Biro,—The Queen deeires me to assure your Majesty that
she deeply feels the new proof of your friendship which you
have given her by the toast you have just proposed, and by
pronouncing words which she will never forget. Your Ma-
jesty is well aware of her friendly sentiments towards your-
self end the Empress, and I need not remind you of them.
You also know that a good understanding between the two
' eountriss is the constant object of her desires as it is of your
own. The Queen is, therefore, doubly happy at the oppor-
inlay which presents itself, by her presence here on t►is
mouton, to join with you, sire, in endeavouring to strengthen
as much se possible the bonds of union between the two
nations. This friendship rests on the basis of their mutual
prosperity, and the blearing of heaven will not fail to attend
it. The Queen proposes the health of the Emperor and
Empress.

The dinner party given by the Emperor on board
the Bretagne included besides their Imperial Majesties
and the Queen of England, with the princes of her
family, Sir John Pakington, the Earl of Malmesbnry,
Marshal Vaillant, Admiral Hamelin, the Duke of
Malakoff; Count Walewski, M. Rouher, Marshal
Baragucy d'ililliera, and the captains commanding
the ships composing the French and English
squadrons. After dinner, the Emperor, in the
imperial long-boat, escorted the Queen to her yacht.

Yesterday morning their Majesties paid the Queen
a farewell visit. The Queen got under weigh at
half-past 12 o'clock.
The Emperor has since visited the ships of war.
His Majesty was received with the greatest enthu-
siasm by the crews. Their cheers were even heard
in the town. The weather was magnificent; and,
notwithstanding the departure of the Engliah
squadron, the roadstead exhibited the most ani-
mated appearance.
The Emperor was about to review the French
squadron, and distribute rewards to the sailors.
There were still immense numbers of English at
Cherbourg, and at least 600 vessels in the harbour.
On Thursday, in unending the Houle heights,
their Majesties went part of the way on foot. In
the evening the vessels in the harbour, all illumi-
nated, formed a spectacle of indescribable beauty.
Their Majesties and the Queen were everywhere
received with enthusiasm.

The French journals of yesterday contain nothing
but very old news from Cherbourg. The Press.
notices that a telegram, dated yesterday, Cherbourg,
2.65 p.m., did not arrive till midnight.

Subjoined is our usual weekly report of the metal
market:
There arc several little circumstances in our market this

week indicating a slightly improved general feeling. Cower
has changed hands abroad en better terms, and here there
have been and still are buyers of foreign at a little advance
upon recent prices. English remains much the saute, in
small inquiry. Iron rails an being bought to a oonaiderable
extent, and Welsh merchant bars have stiffened in price
somewhat in consequence of better demand. Lead baa found.
a few buyers at last, but stooks are still rather heavy. Bpel-
- Is rather neg:ected, with incresaed stooks, now 4,102 tons.
Tin does not find many buyers, and both English and foreign
sr* weak. Tin plates area shade firmer, but the demand is
not active.

The important cue of Lyle v. Richards, otherwise
the West Bunt Mine ts. the South Frances Mine,
was tried at Bodmin, on Tuesday and Wednesday
last, and after the examination of several witnesses
on each side, the jury gave a verdict for the plain-

Mine was to be a line from the south-east corner of
John Vincent's house to the furthermost boundetone
at the east, abutting upon South Wheal Basset sett.

ALEXANDRIA, Arm's? 8.

The steamer Bengal arrived at Suez from Cal-

July 2 ; Madras, 10 ; Oalle, 14; Aden, 26; Hong
Kong, June 23.
On the Ist of July the rebels were forty miles

berts's force was only thirty-four miles distant from
Jeypore the same day.
The allied expedition in the Peiho has reached
Tiensin, from whence the last date is June 4.
No serious attempt was made by the Chinese to
impede the navigation of the river, and the gun-
boats advanced to Tiensin, which commands both
river and the great canal, without a mark of
hostility. The people supply provisions of ex-
cellent quality cheaply. The English and
French Ambassadors were living on shore in a
temple. The Russians and Americans had followed
the allies up the river. The second officer of the
empire and the president of one of the six
boards of government had arrived in Tiensin
to negotiate ; they are invested with a title which
the interpreter describes to convey full powers, and
profess their readiness to treat on the demands
put forward in the letter to the Prime Minister of
China, which had been previously ignored. The
first interview was to take place on the 4th June,
after the departure of the steamer. The Chinese con-
Sane to consider the proceedings as something between
peace and war, but not exactly one or the other.

TO OUR READERS.

A DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will
be published on SATURDAY NEXT, in order to
allow of a full report of the important debate
expected to take place on the introduction into the
House of Commons of the government measure re-
lative to India, fixed for Friday evening.

Taus is a passage in the second clause of
Lard Psummurrum's Conspiracy Bill, which throws
an inadnotive light on the insidious character of
the =samara. The Bill purports to be merely a Bill
to swam= the penalty attached to the crime of
...'Bracy to commit murder. Yet in the second
obese it is declared that any person " who shall
" pervade, instigate, or solicit any other person
'" • • • to commit murder" shall be guilty of
felony. This is to extend the range of offences
hitherto classed under the designation " con-
"'piracy." " Conspiracy" means a series of

acts in concert, perpetrated in order to
bring about a certain end. There is in it
a common understanding, a persevering effort
to accomplish $ certain purpose, which is not neces-
sarily implied in the mere act of a single individual
who seeks to "persuade, instigate, or solicit"
another to commit s certain offence. Conspiracy
necessarily implies deeper and more deliberate
malice than • mere isolated act of persuasion,
instigation, or solicitation; it is, therefore, more
criminal, and requires to be subjected to a heavier
penalty. The second clause of Lord Po.uantrroto's
Bill tamales two offences under the same
designation that have not been hitherto regarded as
identical by the law of England. It assigns the same
pinishmeet to a minor as to • major offence. There is
another objection to the clause upon which we
are commenting—the vagueness of the words " per-
suade, instigate, or solicit." Any hasty and incon-
siderate expression that occurs in an address to a
public meeting, or in an article in a newspaper,
may be interpreted to be an " instigation " to com-
mit murder, and will consequently be a felony under
this bill if allowed to become law. The prosecutor
cannot be called upon to prove complicity
in other respects between the speaker or
writer and the assassin. This clangs therefore may
hereafter be wrested from its apparent pur-
pose and converted into an engine of attack
upon free discussion in the press and at public meet-
ings. That this insidious extension of the penal law
in regard to political offences is intentional,
not accidental, we are warranted to infer
from the whole history of the bill. That measure
is presented es an instalment of Law Reform—it is in
reality as sot of obsequious sycophancy to a
foreign despot. It is brought forward by a
Cabinet whisk is truckling not only to the Emperor
of the Plum but also—untitterable degradation
—to the Sing of Mania. Bad though the Bill be in
itself, it is worse in its accessaries. It is the
thin end of the wedge : if allowed to be introduced,
the thick sad will be driven home. The pupil and
colleague of CASTLXIIAOH and SIDNOTITH is ions,

LATTER SION DR. LIVINGSTON'.

The subjoined is an interesting extract of a letter
from Dr. Livingstone. It is dated " Zambesi, 25th of Junes
1858," and was received by the gentleman to whom it is
addressed (Charles Le Braithwaite, Esq., of Kendal), on fla..
turday last:
"We reached the southernmost branch of the Zambesi
on the 14th (of May), and found the bar much smoother
than we anticipated. The breakers were rather boisterous
on each aide of ue, but we entered safely, making signals
for her Majesty's ship Hermes as to the depth of the water,
till elle was out of sight on her way to Kilimsue, to deliver
our credentials to the Portuguese. As we were now in the
midst of Mangrove swamps, we took quinine, and Win*,
it to boa work of necessity to get away as quickly as possibby
the launch yes put together. Two days were required tope
her into working trim, and we are now threading our way
up among the swamp, the launch piloting the Pearl. Saw
but one native.
" 25rit Juxs, Zattnrst.—l add a few lines to say that
after exploring different months of the Zambesi, we have at
last found a very good bar and harbour, which leads us into
the main stream. The water was falling fast, and as we wen
ordered not to rick the detention of the Pearl in the river, we
thought it most prudent to let her depart, and landing our
hone on an Wand, we put our things there, and now trust
to the launch to take us up the country. Captains Gordon
and Bedingileld are delighted with the river. The latter
eels it quite =like the rivers on the west coast. We
have had no fever, and have ascertained one great fact, if
this is to be a highway into the heart of Africa: this time
of the year is perfectly safe for Europeans; not a single man
of the Pearl or Hermes. or of the expedition, has been
attacked by the disease. Yon are away that I left the river
at Memo (in coming from the interior in 1856), and that
we have been indebted for our knowledge of the parts below
that to Captain Parker. We went up to Mastro, and I
looked with a thrilling sensation of gratitude on the smooth
spot on which I made my last astronomical observation on
the Zambesi, and the identical little hut in which I slept.
The hippopotami can't bear the steamer at all, the crustiest
old bachelor sewn them goes off pelt moll as soon as we
come near. Wears on good terms with the natives. Will
go to Tate ant week. No fever yet."

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoc[.
In the mining market, to-day, the inquiries are
chiefly for shares in Alfred Consols, East Wheal
Rare% Caro Urea, Sortridge Consols, and Wheal
Uny. Shares in Great Wheal Alfred, Rosewarne,
and Lady Bertha are more offered.
Port Philip Mining shares continue to meet with
some enquiries, and are marked 10s. prem. Other
colonial, as well as foreign descriptions, are dull.
From Wheel Harriett the agent writes, under date 28th
hognet :—" The 103-fathom level aces-cat progresses
favourably; ground easier for driving. The lode in 90 east
end is 2 feet wide ; stones of ore. The lode in the 74 east end
is divided by a horse of Mlles. The wince below the 74 is
4 feet wide, worth for length of wins. (12 feet) OM pee
fathom. Scopes in back of 74 worth 151. per fathom. The
lode in the deep edit it 1 foot voids, worth 1 ton of ore per
fathom."
Prom Great Wheal Bury Captain Hancarrow reports
(August 28) :—" In the 50 west on south port of lode there
are branches of ore. The 80 west presents the same pro-
mising appearance. 90 east, geed steam of ore. Is °Bird's
abaft the lode is 3 feet wide, worth principally per ton 101. per
fathom. The 100 east is worth 121. per km, and in
Harvey's shaft the lode is worth 301. per fathom. All
surface operations are programpg satirfactorily. Our male el
copper and tin realised 2.0291.'
From Kelly Bray Captala James writes, under date
August 28 The lode in the 136 east is 1 foot wide;
quarts. menthe, sad spots of ore. The lode In the elopes in
the hook of the 85 west is 21 feet wide, worth 121. per fathom.
The lode in the wins, in the 46 west is worth 801. per
fathom for length of wine/ (12 feet). The lode in the 46 east
is a little improved, and shows indications of meeting with
ore. At Eastern Mine the ground id completed for the
plunger at the 6e. At the 40 crosscut north ground very
much altered, showing Indications fora greater improvement.
The July ore weighed off las tons."

MONDAY EVXN IMO,

A fair amount of 'mines' was done today ln the
mining market. The inquiries extended to shares
in Alfred Consols, Rosewarne United, East Basset,
Sortridge Consols, North Robert, East Cara Brea,
Orsnabler and St. Aubyn, and Great Wheal Var.
Shares in Wheal Harriett, Wheal Mary Ann,
Hingeton Downs, and Wheal Wrey were heavy.
Foreign mining shares remain steady. Those of
the North Rhino Mining Company of South Australia
were quoted to / prem.

sufficiently prized. The intellect, earnestness, and
weight of character brought to bear on the work by
the great body of masters in our Reformatories
tan only be hilly appreciated by those who have
had opportunities of personally acquainting them-
selves with the interior operation of such institutions.
There is nothing in " the system" which can render it
independent of these high personal qualifications on
its agents, and it must be the obvious policy of
Managers of Reformatories to offer encouragement to

those who will bring to their work a power which
money cannot command.
'We are very glad to find the Inspector calling at-
tontion to the accounts of Reformatory Schools and
to the necessity of keeping them with more method
and exactness. It is not too early to press the finan-
cial administration of these institutions very

seriously on their conductors as a matter which will
either powerfully assist or materially retard the
development of juvenile reformation. Meet of
oar Reformatory Schools have been founded
by the liberality of earnest-minded individuals
latent on effecting a moral and spiritual work,
with whom the financial question naturally occupied
a very subordinate place. The number of institutions
Ind of their inmates hes, however, so rapidly in-
creased, and the scale of prospective operation is so
continually enlarged, that profit and loss can no
longer be neglected. At present Mr. TURNER admits
that It is very difficult to pronounce with any accu-
racy what ought to be the average cost per head in
ißeformatories, and what really is the industrial
profit or loss of the farming or trades carried on
therein. There is too much reason to fear that this
uncertainty covers much confusion and waste of
resources, and we should have been glad if the
Inspector had more distinctly specified evils the
existence of which he appears to be well aware of.
There is a close and inseparable connexion between
economy and moral discipline, and in most cases a
complete and lucid exhibition of the pecuniary
accounts of a Reformatory would not only promote a
careful management of its funds, but throw light on
the weak points of its rule.
