PARIS, ERIDAT EVENING.

The continued silence of the Moniteur as to the
understanding between the Italian government and
the cabinet of the Tuileries is a subject of much
conversation to-day in political circles. At a mo-
ment when nothing can be known, it is natural
enough that all sorts of conjectures should be
hazarded as to the course about to be taken, which
in too many cases assume the form of reports of
events, all more or less unfounded. Have the
French government abandoned the intention of
sending an army of occupation to Rome 1 are they
yet disposed to do so 1 and is it true that in that
case Victor Emmanuel has notified to Napoleon
that such a force will be preceded by an Italian
army ? Such are the questions anxiously asked
one of another without the smallest prospect at
this hour of obtaining any reliable information.
Under these circumstances people are getting not
only impatient but angry, and the liberal press are
not slow in pointing out the serious objections and
inconveniosoes of a roticenze so obatinatf snd

Yesterday a group( of Orientals, habited in the
eustume of Their country, traversed several parts of
' the exhibition, which they examined with great
attention, preserving all the while a profound
silence. Their presence excited the curiosity of the
visitors, desirous of knowing who these personages
were, one of whom was especially remarkable for
his tall figure and the richness of his costume. It
was ascertained that this was Joseph Karam, the
famous Maronite chief, who played so important a
part in the late affairs of Lebanon. He had come
from Algiers, whither he has retired, anxious to see
the exhibition before its close. He was accom-
panied by two relatives, his aide-de-camp, a secre-
tary, and two servants. The party appeared to be
much gratified with what they saw, especially with
that part of the park containing the construction'
of their country.
The recent stay at Lille of the Emperor and
Empress cost the municipality 400,000 fr. (16,0001.),
to say nothing of the funds voted by the towns of
Roubaix, Tourcoing, and Dunkirke, for the recep-
tion of their Majesties in those three towns. At
Lille the necessary credits met with a steady
opposition by many of the council, who were
desirous at least of referring the matter to a com-
mittee ; but the municipal administration voted
the supplies then and there.
The English expedition to Abyssinia has excited
the jealousy of the Revue des Deu.e Mondes. This
somewhat eccentric periodical, always favourable
to the most daring and distant enterprises on the
part of France, in a iust cause or in defence of her
interests, takes upon itself to sneer at the spirit of
England, and to attribute to her a latent ambition
to acquire the supremacy on the banks of the Nile,
while her critical situation at home, the wrongs of
' Ireland, and the incursions of the Fenian', ought
Ito saigrosa the whole of her attention. After
England, asks the Revue, has incurred the ex-
pew* and the risks of this war, will she rest con-
' team l
& with the t of her victory, the release off.
The pnsoners 7 she not found in Abyssinia
some durable establishment which will give hor

power in this quarterof the world—a new continent
to the tide of emigration t This possible result will
necessarily attract the attention of the world to the
English war in Abyssinia. "In any case," adds
the writer, " this war will be one of a romantic
kind, and well calculated to please men whose heads
are full of imagination and adventure. A new,
issue will be opened to the Anglo-Saxon
race. Thus it is that this race, with the
activity which is imparted to it by their
domestic institutions, escapes from its narrow
limits, and wanders to the furthermost ends of the
world. They have to defend themselves against
the wretched Fenian, who murder the policemen
in their large towns, and to heal the wounds of
Ireland ; and they yet make conquests, set up
establishments, and promote large centres of Popu-
lation in the most distant quarters of the globe.'
Such is the knowledge of facts, and such the
reasoning of a French review, connected with the
generous impulse which has dictated the English
expedition. This narrow and distorted view of the
situation, these puerile apprehensions and jealousies,
have not escaped the better informed and more
honest and chivalrous of the French press, amongst
whom the (eustitutieuo notes these vagaries of
the Revue des Dens. Mowfes as foremost amongst
many " singularities" in that periodical, and, under
the circumstances, the " least to be expected" at
their hands.

The arrivals of foreign wheat in France are
coming in in quick succession, in a manner to re-
mind one of the imports of grain in the year 1846,
when they were immense. On Sunday and Mon.
day last no fewer than 32 ships, laden with cereals,
entered the port of Marseilles, and on Wednesday
the number amounted to 24.

There was an easier feeling in the Bourse to-day,
and the Rent°, which closed yesterday at GGfr. 95c.,
opened at 67fr. 15e. Italians began at a rise of
85c., and were more in demand. There was no
variation in Credit Mobilier. Railway shares
recovered preceding quotations, and the value of
most securities improved. Threes finished at
67fr. 70c., an advance of 75c., and Italians at
44fr. 50c., an improvement of lfr. 10c.

THE LATE BIRMINGHAM BANKING COMPANY.—
We have authority for stating that a list of contributories
will be filed early in November next, with a view to a
call ; and that the question of interest claimed by creditors
will be brought before the court promptly on the offices
opening after the vacation. A further dividend of 3s. in
the pound is proposed to be paid in December next, mak-
ing, with 13s, in the pound already paid, 16s. in the pound
to creditors. Further, that a report and is balance-sheet
to the 31st December next, will, with the approval of the
court, be in the handed' the shareholders early in January.
rs Wo understand many of the leading shareholders have
expressed themselvie entirely satisfied with this course.

THE FENIAN ALARM AT BALMORAL.—Nothing
whatever has yet occurred on Deeside to justify the pre-
cautions that have been adopted in placing a special police
force along the courge of the river from Aberdeen to
Braemar, and a detachment of military near Balmoral.
That information was received cf a nature to call for such
precautions there is no doubt at all, and the force now on
duty will be maintained for some time yet, probably until
the Qneen leaves. At present no individual personally
unknown to the police on duty is allowed to pass Balloter,
on the upward journey, without interrogation as to his
address, destination, &c., and a similar course is followed
with those coming downward by Braemar.

BRIGHTON AND THE FENIANS.—The Brighton
authorities have been disconcerted at the commencement
of the autumn season by rumours of Fenian designs. The
volunteer armoury at the Town-hall was being strength-
ened upon the receipt of the recent War-office circular;
but on Thursday night, in consequence of an anonymous
letter sent to the Mayor, a combined guard of artillery
and rifle volunteers was mounted at the armoury, and
will be continued for some time to come. The command-
ing officer of the 17th Lancers, now stationed at Preston
Barracks, near Brighton, has been communicated with on
the subject,

[I3TAMPID. 1L ADDITIO]IAL]

SIR JOHN OKAY, M.P., AT KILKENNY.

The banquet given by the electors ache city and'
county of Kilkenny to Sir John Gray and Mr. George
Bryan, members for the city and county, took place on
Thursday ; the Mayor of KILKENNT presided. On his right
sat Sir John Gray, M.P. ; on his left Mr. Blake, M.P.
Mr. Bryan was unavoidably absent.

Sir Jetts GRAY was loudly cheered, and returned his
heartfelt thanks for the distinguished honour done him
that night, and for the confidence always reposed in him
since he first appeared amongst the citizens of Kilkenny.
They took him upon trial, and after three years they were
good enough to declare he had kept his word with them. ;
(Cheers.) He proceeded to rive an account of his steward-
ship,
and to refer to the great questions of the day. When
he was canvassing the city he was asked was he a whig. !
His answer was no, he was not a whig, if by that was !
meant the mere follower of any English party—(cheers)—
but neither was he a tory. At that time Lord Palmerston
was prime minister, and though a great man few of them
lamented the failure of his policy. (Cheers.) Mr. Glad-'
stone held a high office in the succeeding ministry. (Cheers.)
He (Sir J. Gray) and the people of Kilkenny respected Mr.
Gladstone for his declaration, that Ireland should be'
governed in accordance with the wishes of the Irish
people. (Cheers.) Mr. Gladstone lost office on reform,
but preserved his honour. His party was defeated, but a ,
great measure of reform was carried. (Cheers.) He (Sir
John Gray) looked, however, not to men, but to measures.
(Cheers.) The English people had got their franchise, but
the Irish people bad not yet got theirs. He felt satisfied •
a reform bill would be inUodueed for Ireland almost, U
ast altogether, identical *Mt Sat &ea to- Mog
land ; bat no reform unatoompanied by the
'ballot, would satisfy the 'lrish people, for without
the ballot the Irish people would be the slaves of
the landlords and their agents. The ballot was re-
piked in Ireland, but more especially a measure for the
bed system of land tenure in Ireland. (Cheers.) If then'.
was one question more than another about which the
Irishpeople were anxious, it was that relating to the land.
The liberal Irish representatives deposed the inaction of
parliament on that important subject. Reform was •
granted because government saw the representatives of
the people were resolved to have a comprehensive mea-
sure. Justice would not be done to the Irish tenant
until the It'ah people and their representatives con-
vinced the government that they were resolved to have
justice done in this respect. He hoped to see the subject
brought forward next session by the able member
for Cork, Mr. Maguire, and to see him well sup-
ported by the Irish members. They would not be
satisfied until the Irish tenant should have a reasonable
tenure and an absolute security that any property he in-
vested in his farm should belong to himself and his chil-
dren. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Sir John Gray then gave
some instances from Mr. Caird's letters to the Times of
the expenditure by English landlords upon farms before
letting them to tenant'. Upon the Duke of Bedford's
estates an expenditure equal to five years' rent was
made by the duke upon a 500 acres farm in erecting farm
houses and buildings, and then the farm wee let at
11.:is. per acre. There was even a further expendi-
ture
made by the duke in drainage and other im-
prevenient', but no advance was made in the
rout. That would not he done by the Irish
landlords, nor expected, but the lean that should be done
would be to give protection to the Irish tenant who would
effect all these improvements. When the Irish members
agreed upon a bill, he hoped they would be ready to give
an earnest and generous support to any man in power who
would take up that bill with an earnest intention to carry ;
it through parliament. (Cheers.) Having referred to the
subject of education, he said they hoped to see Irish
opinion and feeling on that and other questions embodied ,
in acts of parliament ; and their support would not hence,
forth be given to any man who did not endeavour to give
that practical effect to Irish opinion and 'toting" ; and in for-
cible termaSir J. Gray described the remarkable progress
made by the church question within the last twoyears ; but
all that had been done in advancement of that question was
small compared with the declaration of the Irish hierarchy
in the preceding week. He bore testimony to the cordial
assistance given the Irish members last se-.sion by the
liberal English and Scotch members. Before long the ,
people of Kilkenny would, he believed, be assembled to'
celebrate the establishment of perfect religion' equality. I
(Loud cheers.) Referring to the Church Commissioners,'
the hon. member said the promise of idie government
had been kept with the worst faith in the consti-
tution of that commission. One member was Lord I
De Yawl°, a subscriber to the Chu4. Defence Fund.
Sir Joseph Napier was also sae of the eoamittee a ' tad'
le collect funds for the dcfenar of the aheut. if..
Shaft) Adair was in the same position. Mr. John
Thomas Ball, another of the commissioners, had actually
been put forward by the protestant primate some year
ago as a fitting representative for Trinity College, on the
ground that he would be • prope- champion of the church. I
Moreover, he was the advising counsel of leading church-
men, and filled the paid office of Vicar-General of Armagh
and Deny. Mr. Shirley, soother commissiorer, was one'
of the representatives for she coining Hilhborough meet-
ing, the professed object of which was to sustain the
established church. \% ere any of these men fit to be ,
on the jury to try the case? Yet they formed I
six of the else commissioners appointed to try the church
—the church of which they were the advised and pledged
champions. The catholics of Kilkenny appreciated this
great subject without bigotry. They were :Kt out of ever",
100, yet they lived, and were anxious to live, on terms of
amity with their protestant fallow-citizens. But it was
not too much to expect that that amity should be based
upon equality, and he asserted that no minister should
get the support of the Irish liberals who did not go straight
to the government and ask for immediate and perfect dim-
endowment of the established church, and the placing of
all denominations upon a perfect equality.

THE " UNITED PROTESTANT DEMONSTRAT/ON" IN
IRELAND.—The Earl of Enniskillen has issued the following
letter:—" Florencecourt, Oct. I6.—My dear Brethren,—
There is to be a protestant demonstration at Hillsborough
on Oct. 311, The meeting is to include protestant, of all
denominations, and its purpose is to petition parliament
against the threatened attempts to overthrow protestant
ecclesiastical endowments in Ireland, and so ignore the
Act of Union, and violate the protestant constitution of
the empire. It is cl-arly incumbent on all that are
attached to that constitution to forward such an object,
and (as far as in them lies) secure its success, so that its
'eight may be felt in the public councils of the nation.
Few things would, however, oontribute mere to defeat the,
end in view than any violation of the present law against
party emblems and processions. Such an occurrence would
be bailed with joy by enemies ; it would be unfair to other
protestants attending the meeting ; it would introduce
confusion and discord, and most probably cause the meet-
ing to be dissolved without attaining its object. If you
hold fast to the great principles for which we have so long
contended, and value the result to be obtained by this (as
we hope) great meeting of assembled protestants; and
lastly, if you have any regard for the earnest advice and
special request of one who has been so long devoted to
your glorious name and principles, you will not only
accept this counsel, but will, each in his own locality, make
every effort that so great a cause may receive no detriment
or discredit by the conduct of any of our brethren, so that
the proposed demonstration may be blameless, loyal,
unanimous, and powerfuL—l remain, my dear brethren,
I your sincere friend, ENxineiLLen,
A HORSEFLESH BANQUET.—Mr. W. Forsyth
being in Paris a few days ago, and desirous of tasting horse-
flesh, was invited with M. Chaffin and another friend to
dine with M. Decroix, one of the chief veterinary surgeons
to the Garde de Paris. Every dish consisted of horse-
nest]. "We began," he says, " with consomme de eke ral,
a very good soup ; and then had &milli, sanciseon, a kind
of ragout, and a r4ll, all of horse from beginning to end.
The only dish that was not exclusively so was one of
pernmrs.de-terre, but these bad horse oil poured over them,
so that everything was en slide. The result was that we
all pronounced the repast excellent. I began with a
decided feeling of prejudice and repugnance, but
it was impossible to resist the fact that the foal
was as palatable and good as anyone could wish
to eat. I do not believe that it could have been distin-
guished in taste from excellent beef, and, if we Mud not
known what we were eating, we should, in perfect inno-
cence, have supposed that our dinner was wholly taken
from our old friend the ox, Especially
The
were the
to iilli, the eaucissan, and the el4i. The colour of the
meat is dark, like that of smile, and this is really the chief,
if not only, difference that can be perceived between horse-
flesh when cooked and beef or mutton. There were two
bottle, of horse-oil on the table, and it was as clear and
pure and as free from any unpleasant smell as olive
oil ; and yet the horse which furnished all the
dishes for our capital dinner was an old one—tree
view., as our host told us ; and, as I have before paid,
the du/ de cuisine was • private soldier. As regards,
then, not only the capabilitv, but the fitness
of horse-flesh to furnish a new mid excellent article of
human food, I have no doubt whatever. &Weiler edendo—
and when once the feeling of prejudice is overcome, I see
no reason why it should not take its place on our table as
a welcome variety, instead of the everlasting beef, mutton,
and veal." It is sold in Paris at about 2d. per pound. A
vast number of horses, perfectly free from disease, which
are now sold at the price of 11. each for the knacker's
yard, might be sold, Mr. Forsyth says, to butchers for
human food. The sale of horse-flesh is gradually increasing
in Paris, and there are now 17 or IS butchers' shops
where it can be procured. Two new ones were opened last
week for the purpose. Before the sale was allowed the
French government in 1856 referred the question as one
of public health to the Conseil &Hygiene, in Paris, and
that body reported in its favour. It is also becoming an
article of food in Denmark, Austria, Prussia, Saxony,
Wurtemberg, and other countries.

BIRMINGHAM AND ITS PARLIAMENTARY BEPRE-
. SENTATION.—The proposal that the third member for Bir-
mingham shall be selected from amongst the " working
men," and be paid for his services was again discussed at a
meeting of the " Trades Council " in that town on Thurs-
day night. At a meeting held a week or two since a sub-
committee was appointed with instructions to inquire into
the practicability of carrying out the resolution, and that
committee, in pursuance of tho object they bad in view,
called • meeting for last evening of the secretaries of the
various trades societies in the town, for the purpose of
further conference on the wetter. Mr. Gilliver, who pre-
. sided at the meeting on Thursday, said some people: com-
plained that this was not the proper time to agitate that
question. If they waited till every one was satisfied they
would never bane • proper representative. If they
allowed the present opportunity in Birming-
ham to slip past it would be some time before
they got another. There was no wish on their part
to unseat any of their present members, but they were
determined to have the third. Some people said that
a working man would have no weight in the House of
: Commons ; but he did not believe that the present liberal
members in the house would slight • working man who
should be sent to parliament. The Liberal Association
were in the field to return three liberals at the next elec-
tion. Let the working men be in the field also. After a
'short disacusaiOn the following resolution was moved and
carried :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the object
of the trades' council in desiring to send a working man to
!parliuseet es the third member under the new bill is
worthy of the sympathy and support of all the trade
, societies and working men generally." One of the speakers
a Mr. Boodle—said he 'jibed • little matter to be
corrected through the press. He had been led to under-
stand that • deputation had waited upon Mr. J. A. Lang-
' ford, to ask him if lie would consent to stand as • repre-
', tentative of the working classes. He (Mr. Boodle) was
I sure, as far as his knowledge or experience in the trades'
. council was concerned, that that body certainly bad not
given such an invitation. If the Association
lof Liberal-Conservative Working Men had invited
!Mr. Langford, that was another thing. Another of
I the speakers, Mr. Loughton, said it should not
be given out that their representative should be devoted
exclusively to the interests of trades' unions merely. He
should be considered to be a representative of working men
generally. The following trades were represented : Car-
penters, joiners, bedstead makers, masons, bricklayers,
ocachmakers, printers, painters, rope and twine spinners,
currier', iron and steel wire drawers, plane makers, shoe-
makers, mill sawyers, cabinet makers, tailors, tinplate
worker, and wood turners.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CRUELTY TO A GIRL.
—At the Derby county police-court yesterday (Friday)
before a full bench of magistrates, a gentlemanly-looking
man, named John Shaw, stated to be an insurance agent,
residing in St. James's- terrace, Litchurch, Derby, appeared
to answer a summons taken out against him by his servant,
a girl of 14, named Elizabeth Highton, for cruelly ill-using
her on the 14th instant. Mr. Flowker ame•red to defend.
From the evidence of the girl, it appe..red that the de-
fendant had taken her from the Lancaster Union to act
as domestic servant to himself and wif, whilst he was
residing at that town, and on his removal to Derby he
brought her with him. He accused her of telling lies, by
informing him that she had been to St. Andrew's Church
on Sunday night last, when such was not the case. For
this offence he on Monday deliberately took her into •
back room at his house, oniered her to strip to the waist,
and to lie down on her belly on the floor. He then
commenced to betinade her feet with • wooden ladle or
spoon, previously to which, however, he had tied together
her hands and feet, besides tying up her mouth to prevent
her cries being heard. lie next proceeded to inflict upon
her a series of cruelties with a horsewhip on her shoulders
and arms, inflicting frightful sores and contusions. Not
satisfied with this. be ordered her to strip off the
whole of her clothing, and re-commenced his unmerciful
treatment, finishing up by rubbing her over with tur-
, pentins, and afterwards washing her with salt and
water. The poor girl's wounds down to her waist were
exhibited in court, and excited the greatest horror, and
the inhume)) defendant was justly sentenced to six months'
imprisonment, the bench designating the case as one of
the worst that ever came before them. The defendant and
his wife were regular attendants at St. Andrew's Church,
and his wife was present during the infliction of the cruel
punishment, her conduct being severely censured by the
bench.

CHESTERFIELD AND THE FENIANS.--SiMillS to
other towns, the authorities at Chesterfield are preparing
for any outbreak that may take place by the Fenians. Out
of a population of about 12,000, there are no less than
3,000 of the lower clue of Irish. It is only four years ago
when the notorious Baron de Camin attempted to lecture
on popery, in the Market Hall, that hundreds of the Irish
rose up in a body and by force put • stop to the oration
Using delivered, at the same time setting the magistrates
and police at defiance. Mob law prevailed for some days,
and on one evening a respectable young man named Cooper
was barbarously murdered by two Irishmen, and the assas-
sins have not been discovered to this day. A few evenings
since an English resident received • letter, couched in the
most vulgar terms, and dated from "the Branch Depot of •
Thousand Fenians, at Chesterfield." Alluding to him
as a " treacherous English —," the letter went on
to say, "If yon do not refrain from ex-
posing what you know of Fenianisru, we have taken
oaths to pop you off with lightning rapidity. We warn
you—so beware." Then follows a lot of blasphemy, and
at the bottom is a representation of the skull and cross-
bones, at each side of the former being a drawing of a re-
volver, and a bullet entering the cranium. On Monday
night the watch committee decided that the police force
should be augmented to 14, and that they should be pro-
vided with cutlasses. At the Chesterfield Barracks there
is shout • thousand stand of rifles, and the militia staff
residing there is but a small one, but as a precaution the
hammers have been removed from the whole of the
weapons.
INFANTICIDE AND ILLEGITIMAII". —From the
analysis of the judicial statistics in the Solicitors' Journal,
it appears that, out of the 6,872 infanta under seven years
upon whom inquests were held, 5,523 were legitimate, and
that only 1,343 were illegitimate. This is • sufficient
answer to those who allege that illegitimate children are
usually the subjects of infanticide ; and, in addition to
this, while infanticide has most undoubtedly been on the
increase, there has been for the last three
material variation in the number of child-
violent death upon whom inquests were lit
