WINING HOURS.

The annexed communication from a correspon-
dent who is entitled to speak on behalf of the
numerous body of bankers'clerks in the metropolis,
while referring to the useful measure just intro:
duced by Sir Colman O'Loghlen, urges that banks
should open at 10 o'clock in the morning instead
of 9. Everybody now lives out of town, and 9
o'clock is a very early hour at which to reach the
City. The boon asked for would be highly appre-
ciated by the whole body of bankers' clerks ; and
those who imagine that it would interfere with
business will be disabused of that idea if they will
compare the vast amount of work that is now
compressed into a few hours of the day with that
which was done by the fathers of the present gene-
ration of mercantile men, who used often to drive
off their correspondence and clerical work far into
the night:

PARIS, Nov. 30, EVZKING.

In the Senate to-day M. Rouland replied to the
speech made yesterday by Cardinal Bonnechose.
The Archbishop of Paris then addressed the Senate.
The Marquis de Moustier, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, afterwards explained the policy of the
French Government towards Rome. The Marquis
expressed himself to the following intent :—" Italy
had always shown herself consistent in her policy.
It was not the intention of the French Govern-
ment to renew an indefinite occupation of Rome.
French troops would only remain there as long as
the safety of the Pope rendered their presence neces-
sary. The problem to be resolved between the Papacy
and Italy was doubtless a difficult one, but it was
capable of solution ; it was simply a question of
mistrust between the two governments which
might one day disappear. To effect this would be
the object of the Congress." The Marquis de
Moustier then asked the Senate to pass to the order
of the day, to prove that the Senate and the go-
vernment were perfectly agreed. The discussion
then closed, the Senate peaking to the order of the
day.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Dow Giovanni was given here on Saturday night,
the east similar to that of previone masons, with the
important exception of the first appearance here of Mlle.
Kellogg as Zerlina—s character which in the hands
of so accomplished an artist is thrown into greater
prominence than its mere dramatic importance implies.
The light-hearted gaiety, the combination of rustic sim-
plicity with innate refinement, with which Mdlle. Kellogg
inverts her performance, render her Zerlina scarcely less
admirable in acting than for the taste and finish with
which she sings the music.

11012 t WORKHOUSE.

COLLINS C. ONIONS.-THE

This was an action for libel and slander. The defendant
pleaded not guilty.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C.,snd Mr. F. H. Lewis were coun-
sel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Prentice, Q.C., and Mr. Nesmith
were conned for the defendant.

The plaintiff is the deputy chairman of the board of
guardians of Bethnal-green, and also a vestryman of the
parish ; the defendant is also a member of the board
of guardians, and the action in question arose out of the
disgraceful disclosures that have recently takes place in re-
ference to the conduct of the late master, Mr. Meyrick.
The libel complained of was contained in letters that were
forwarded to the Poor-law Board, detailing gross conduct
on the part of the late master towards some of the female
inmates, and describing the workhouse as being no better
than a brothel. In these letters, and also orally, the de-
fendant, it was alleged, had charged the plaintiff with con-
niving at the master's misconduct, on account of the mas-
ter's lending him money. The contents of the letters were
couched in terms too gross for publication. The letter
most complained of was signed "Thomas Turner."
The trig returned a verdict for the plaintiff—da-

Police•constable Drewett, :30 A reserve, said he heard

THE SHOCKING MURDER IN HAMMERSMITH.

INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning, at 10 o'clock, Mr. J. Bird, the

down he put his bands in his pockets.
In answer to questions, the witness stated that after
Thompson knocked the deceased down he struck the other
two men with backhanded blows, and they both fell. The
man with a hare, as he was getting up, was knocked duo a
second time. Witness saw the constable open his lantern,
and shethen saw blood flowing from the deceased's trousers.
She saw Thompson put his hands in his pockets before he
knocked the deceased down. The blow given to the de.
ceased was in front of him, and the blows to the other men
were given back-handed. After the deceased was knocked
down, he put his hands in his pockets, and kept them
there. The tall man, Thompson, was the only man who
struck the men. __ . _ _ _ _ _

WRECK OF A STEAMER OFF THE ISLE OF

WIGHT.

BRIGHSTONE GRANGE, MONDAY.
An alarm was given yesterday afternoon (states
the Rev. Thomas Renwick), that a steamer was on shore
on Typet Ledge, a little to the westward of the Itherfield
coast-guard station, and about three milesdistant from this
pace. The crew of the lifeboat Rescue, of the National
Lifeboat Institution on this station, were at once mus-
tered, and the boat launched in a very high-ground sea
that was breaking all along the coast, and was especially
beery here as usual. The night was very dark as there
was a moat dense fog. After about an hour's pull the
lifeboat reached the stranded vessel, which proved to be
the screw-steamer Fortuna, Wood, master, bound from
the Mediterranean to London. On arriving alongside,
the lifeboat's crew found the vessel abandoned, and
was hailed from the shore, and told that all on
board, twenty-six in number, had been fortunately
rescued by the coast guard, by means of the Rocket
apparatus. The boat thereupon returned to its station.
Much credit is due to the crew for their promptitude in
going out in the lifeboat in the very heavy surf breaking
on this coast. The cost of this lifeboat was presented to
the National Lifeboat Institution, a few years ago, by
members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, and since
then the boat has rendered most valuable service in
saving life from shipwreck.

THE GOVERNMENT AND REFORM.

The Time:l- continues to urge that the logic of
facts imperatively requires the speedy settlement of re-
form. Let government shirk the question, or attempt
delay, or avoid responsibility, and the leader of the oppo-
sition has only to move that government, in so doing, has
forfeited the confidence of the house, and he can hardly
fail of a majority which, even if it be • small one, will be
sufficient for the purpose. It may be doubted whether a
majority of a single vote will not prove • more serious
matter than one of sixty, inasmuch as it would probably
send the question straight to the hustings, which would
return • house deeper pledged than ever to reform.
Even if • conservative measure should be hopeless, it is
necessary to the substantive character of the party, neces-
sary to the weight of their criticisms upon any other mea-
sures, that one should be proposed. The view that con-
servatives ought not turn reformers is founded rather
upon party tactics than upon sound policy. The world
knows well that • large section of the so-called conserva-
tives wish to see such a reform as shall enjoy a large mea-
sure of popular support. That section is entitled to hare
its wishes, and certainly to be excused the dissimulation
of seeming to disavow them. It has • right to be spared
that organised hypoca:sy which government will have to
force upon its followers If it declines to take up reform.
The Trirgrapli observes that a great reform meeting
will be held to-day, not in the Agricultur►l Hall, under
the presidency of Mr. Beaks, but in Downing-street, with
Lord Derby in the chair. We all know what the cabinet
which will assemble in • few hours ad] have for the sub-
ject of debate, and, perhaps, of division. It is an open
secret. The " people in the market place" are as well
aware of the purpose of to-day's cabinet council as the
ministers themselves. Whatever extraneous matter may
be mixed up with the business of the two hours. each
councillor will enter the dingy precinct with the certainty
that he must answer a momentous question. He w ill have
to give him voice for or against the policy of trying to pass
• conservative reform bill this session.

The Star says the title of the volume of Mr. Disraeli's
speeches ought to have been " Speeches against naliamen-
tary Reform." He is against manhood suffrage, household
suffrage, a :1/., a V., or even a it. borough franchise ; he
is against anything like a proportionate redistribution of
sesta with regard to population ; he is against the ballot.
What remains in the shape of reform? Anybody who can
show us anything kit which Mr. Disraeli could propose or
support, and which any true reformer who has not for-
gotten altogether the old creed and sacraments of his
party could care to accept, is welcome to wait and
hope, and to talk in the meantime about "giving the best
consideration" to the so-called reform bill which the Star
trusts and believes the present government have no in-
tention whatever to propose.

The Tina describes the ill-advised proceeffiap of
Seward as rendering the exercise of mercy extremely diffi-

pathisers seems to justify the wisdom of the advice ten-

that we have been able to show mercy to those who

FLVIAN CANVICTS.

Nothing, remarks the Daily Noma, could have been
fairer than the trial of the Fenian prisoners in Canada,
and the verdict was the only one consistent with the
evidence. Mr. Seward's proceeding was a gross attempt
to interfere with public justice, and his pretensions are
repelled in a dignified way in Lord Carnarvon's published
despatch. Mr. Seward, for temporary political reasons,
wished to place his government before the people of the
western continent, as able and ready to exercise
a supervision over judicial proceedings in Canada,
and his language was such as has not been employed by
one sovereign government to another since the usurpa-
tions of the first Napoleon. It would have been impas-
sible for our government to admit for • moment preten-
sions so offensive and outrageous as three, and Lord
catnarvon could do nothing less than firmly set them
aside. The tone and manner of his despatch is in marked
contrast with that of the American Secretary of State.
Mr. Seward's argument as to the offence of the prisoners
was simply absurd. No party in Canada in any way in-
vited or encouraged this invasion : it was simply a buc-
caneering raid. Every homicide committed in it was a
murder--every act of pillage or destruction done in it was

SECOND COURT.

Sittings at Nisi Prins in Middlesex.—{Before Mr. Justice
Biles and • Common Jury.)
PORDHAM ie. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was an action to recover damages for injuries
suffered upon the defendants' line.
Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Joyce appeared for the
plaintiff ; and Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., for the defendants.
The plaintiff was • carpenter and wheelwright, living at
Norwood ; he was Arty years of age, and his earnings had
been Gs. a day. About half-part nine at night on Sunday,
the Ist September last, he was at Sidenham station,
intending to be carried to Norwood. A train was in
waiting, and he stepped into • third-class carriage. He
had• parcel in his right hand, and he held on with his
left, his hand being between the hinge side of the door and
the door post. Before the plaintiff was fully into the
carriage the guard shut the door, and pinched the plain-
tiffs hand very badly. He suffered • great deal of pain;
he had only been able to earn 21. 13. since,
and it would probably be twelve months before he was
wholly recovered. It was said that there was nothing else
but the door to bold on to, so that • passenger might
lift himself into the carriage. It was true that there was
• piece of iron running lengthways along the carnage,
but this was not used, nor would it be useful for the
purpose.
Mr. Huddleston submitted that there was no case for
the jury, as it was clear that the plaintiff had been guilty
of contributory negligence in putting his hand into the
creek of the door.

His Lordship said he thought that the case had better
go to the jury,
Evidence was then given for the plaintiff that on this
carriage there was a perpendicular bar of ircn, or brass,
about a foot long, which was placed there so that pawn•
gees might help themselves into the train.

ITALY.

ROME, Dm. 4.

The Pope has lamed an apostolic letter declaring
that Cardinal Andrea is deprived of the dignity of
cardinal for the term of three months. He is sum-
moned to present himself humbly before the Holy
Father. Should he not comply before the expira-
tion of the time fixed, Cardinal Andrea will be de-
prived of his cardinal, episcopal, and other eccle-
siastical dignities.
FLORENCE, Dr.c. 5.

A note has been forwarded to-day to Paris by
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which the
Italian government, whilst accepting the declara-
tion contained in the Marquis de Moustier's note
of the 27th ult. as a pledge that the policy of
France will not serve as an encouragement or a
support to the enemies of Italy, reserves to herself
to make known to the imperial government the
propositions which she thinks ought to be sub-
mitted to the Conference.

A letter from Rome of the 29th ult. says :
"The wounded English Garibeldian, John Scholey, the
amputation of whose arm I mentioned as having been per-
formed in the hospital of St. Onofrio, died yesterday from
the effects of it, mortification having ensued. His widowed
mother, whose only son be:wu, arrivedyeaterday front Eng.
land, but had not the satisfaction of embracing him alive,
as he expired two hours before her arrivaL The necessary
permission having been obtained by the British consul,
Mr. Scholey's funeral will be performed to-morrow in the
protestant cemetery near St. Paul's-gate."
The correspondent of the Times at Pesth says
that on the lower part of the Theism district, and in the
great plain between that river and the Danube, in the
very midst of a pure Magyar population, a new religious
church has arisen, the followers of which call themselves
Nazarenes, and which seems to attract the peasant class
of pure iungsrlan stock as powerfully as methodism does
the population of Wales. They admit no priest class, but
whoever feels inspired in the congregation gets up and
speaks and prays. They refuse to have their children
baptized, and will swear no oath. The communities form
closely connected societies, in which not only matters of
common interest, but even the private affairs of Judi-
, viands are discussed and arranged. All agree that the
I followers of this new sect are quiet, orderly, sober, and
industrious above their neighbours.

A correspondent of the Madras Athenaum writes :
—" Your correspondent went up to Poona the other day,
and was obliged to acknowledge the enormous strides that
civilisation had made in that fortunate station, when he
met two organ-grinders, complete with monkey, tam-
bourine, and all asceseorier, and making night (sad day)
hideous with the ancient strains of ' Old Dog Tray' and
the 'Sultan 'Polka.' Surely suck enterprise should meet
with its just reward."

THE LATE GALES.

At Liverpool yesterday the fury of tho recent
gale Imd quite abated, and the temperature, with a bril-
liant sunshine, was moderate and enjoyable. The Under-
writers' " casualties " book, however, showed • very long
list of disasters, the following being the most important :
The Joven Francisca ship bad been peased derelict off the
Western Isles by the screw-steamer Tamar, of Plymouth.
The Al* from Shields to San Francisco, went ashore at
Burnevelt Island (east of Cape Horn) on the 21st at Au-
gust, and became a total wreck ; the crew were, however,
saved, and have arrived at Valparaiso. The Ant, of Boston:
is wrecked at Hopthorpe ; the Minerva (bellast) at Seto-
ley ; and the Marwood, Wellington, and Norfolk Lase are
dismastedat Bridlington. TheAlexi:nder Stuart,of Belfast,
bound for Troon, is a wreck at Cemelyn ; and the Twik,
from Shields to Gothenburg, is wrecked at Misted. The
Emilia Lomb, from San Domingo to Liverpool, was lest on
the 29th October, on the islet of Desiebso, and seven men
were lost. The St. Venetian, from Alexandria for Liver-
Crothgot aground yesterday near No. 7 Black Buoy, in the
y Channel at the mouth of the Meresy. Two tugs
and lighters were at once sent to her aaistaoee. The
American barque Vesta, with coals from Sydney, was lost
on the 27th September off the Tangiers, China. The
Cherokee, new ship, from Miramachi to Liverpool, went
ashore on the West Point of Janvrinolsland (Prince Edwin
Island) on the 16th November, but after discharging her
deck !cad and part of her cargo, she was got off and towed
into Caribou Cove. From Hong Kong we hear of the
Goethe, Rattler, and Uneasier on shore at Hong Kong on
the Lt October.

A special juryman complained of the frequency with
whlch'he was summoned, and the short notice that was
given. He asked if jurymen were not entitled to fourteen
days' notice that they were required to attend
The Lord Chief Justice said that the law said that there
should be one clear day between the service of the sum-
mons and the day of attendance ; but the practice was to
say that there should be 48 hours' notice. The committee
of the House of Commons upon the subject would, be sup-
gr, be reappointed in February, and in the meantime
Ei rle, the associate, who wee thoroughly acquainted
with the matter, was doing all he could to prevent incon-
venience.

Another juryman said that his summons was ser►ed on
Sunday night.
The Lord Chief Justice said that it was improper to
serve a summons on the Sunday, and orders should be
given to she sheriff that such a thing should not occur
again. It was, however, not the fault of the sheriff that
juries received short notice.
Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., said he was a member of the
Howse of Commons committee, and the complaining jurors
would be summoned to give evidence before the committee,
for Mr. Erle had their names and addresses. (A laugh.)

The body of young Enrico Cairoli arrived here, and was
conveyed at once to Belgirate, where the bodies of his two
brothers, who likewise died for Italian unity, us interred
—almost under the eyes of their widowed and incomparable
mother. Giovanni Cairoli, the brother who rated the
Holy Father whilst in hospital in Rome, has been kept
ig close confinement since that incident. Nobody
knows what has become of him. Signor Benedetti Cairoli,
the eldest brother and head of the family, ham been en-
deavouring in vain for the last fortnight to obtain infor.
mation about him. Three persons who were sent to Rome
expressly for that purpose have returned without being
able to hear anything of him.

♦ CONTRAST.
The Tuulonnais, under the heading of " 1859-
1867," eaya :

After Magenta and Solferino triumphal arches were
erected in the streets of Toulon, and beneath them marched
the regiments which took part in the Italian campaign.
It was • day of rejoicing, the bayonets of the troops
being hidden by the flowers and ribbons which were
showered upon them. Now the soldiers who have
come back to Toulon after supporting the Pontifical
government and defeating Garibaldi bivouac in the Champ
de Mars and erect their tents along the Boulevard. But
where are the triumphal arches! Where are the
flowers! Where the ribbons! What has become
of the enthusiasm of the population? Where
are the cheers and the firsts P A dead silence
is the only reply to the heat of drum. What would we
not have to say if we repeated the indignant language of
our soldiers against those whom they saved at Tivoli and
Mentana ? Upon this point, however, we must be silent,
for prudence and the example of ,recent instances make it
• duty.

EXTRAORDINARY SPEECH BY THE
FOREIGN MINISTER OF FRANCE.
PARIS, DEc. 5.

Towards the close of the sitting in the French
Legislative Chamber yesterday, M. de Mouldier,
after narrating the events which ensued after the
arrest of Garibaldi, said :
" The Italian Minister then made a verbal com-
munication to me of the gravest importance. Ile
brought forward the idea of a European Confe-
rence for the solution of the Roman question, and
proposed meantime a joint occupation of Rome
by French and Italian troops. We took note of
the first proposal and rejected the second.
If I may be allowed coarsely to express
my thoughts, I shall say we were invited not
only to take the part of a dupe, but also that of a
traitor. We, therefore, indignantly declined the
complicity proposed to us with a sort of bonhommie
which made it doubly insulting. From that moment
the expedition to Rome was decided upon."

For weeks past the weather has been a foremost topic of

Calcutta was astonished on 26th October at a return of

threatening, and on Thursday the threat began to be ful-
filled. The sky on Friday was overcast and lowering, the
pall of cloud wee miusually low, and mares of scud were
whirled swiftly away to leeward all day long. The gloom
of the day was added to by frequent rain-squalls;
the day, in fact, was just one of those for which
November in England has acquired so unpleasant
a reputation. As the day wore on the signs of
bad weather increased. About three o'clock the

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FRON OOR OWN

PARIS. WED/BIDAY &WM
The reason given for the dismissal of the Em-
peror's household policeman-in-chief, M. Hyrooix,
which excited great surprise, is that he reported
to his Majesty that the new expedition to Rome
had excited serious displeasure among the popula-
tions of the Faubourg'. The Empress, greatly
vexed to hear this, made inquiries of the Prefect
of Police, who assured her Majesty that her
informant was altogether mistaken. M. Hyrooix
is now a long way off in the Jura, where, however,
he is provided with a place far exceeding in rank
and emolument what a person of his station could
have expected. But the Figaro does not shrink
from affirming that M. Hyrooix gave the Emperor
honest and correct information, and that the Pre-
fect of Police was wrong.
It was stated yesterday, and the news has not
yet been contradicted, that when M. Jules Favre
descended from the tribune after his great speech,
M. Ernie 011ivier, with whom he has long not
been on speaking terms, came up to him and said,
" You were never more eloquent in your life ;
allow me to offer you my hand." M. Jules Fevre
is said to have replied, "I am very happy to take
it."

The Bishop of Orleans will never hear the last of
his doctrine that girls can only be properly brought
up "on the knees of the church." M. Villemot, a
writer in the Figaro, who lately said, by way of
hypothesis, that the bishop's system would lead to
teaching young ladies that Madame Dubarry was
a pious woman sent by God to console Louis XV.
in his old age, now attests that in his hearing a
young heir to a chateau, 15 years old, who had
been educated by an abbe, said that Louis XVI.
was murdered by protestants. M. Villemot's first
impulse was to correct the error, but he was
silenced by relatives, who whisp.:red that the re-
ligious ideas of the youth must not be unsettled.
The news reached Paris last evening that M.
