TB AMERICAN TRADZ.

Pre-eminently is it the case, reflects the Times, that with
our great commercial development individuality is almost
destroyed. The greater fore, of the vast aggregate pre-1
veils, and in the fatal race men seem as powerless as
sheep in a flock, or worms in a coral reef. Ask anyone
why he takes such trouble to victimise himself, and he
will tell you that the course of trade compels him to run
the risk, and he cannot help himself. As well advise •
shoal of herrings as commerce and manufactures. The
City folks old enough to remember one, or two, or three
catastrophes in the American trade, are shaking their
heads and pointing at the signs of another coming before
long. The Americans are eroding ns unlimited orders, and
we are sending them unlimited supplies,. They send us
less and leas money, and, what is worse, less and lees of
any material equivalent. They see that we are "sweet
upon them," and they encourage the tender sentiment-
The real profits of this hazardous speculation are se-
cured in good time by such dealers in money as are not
themselves carried away in the stnam far out of their
depth and beyond the power to stem the tide. Somebody
or other must pay, and if the predicted crash do come, it
wills, much exceed that of 1837 as the loss of life and
property by the American war exceeded that by the great
fire of New York.

THE MILITARY REVOLT IN SPAIN.
MADRID, JAIL 8, MIDMIGHT.,

The Chamber of Deputies have unanimously
resolved to present an address to the Queen, ex-
pressive of their loyalty to her Majesty's person.
According to the latest official despatches, the
insurgents under General Prim had arrived at
Errda, in the mountains of Toledo, but it was not
known what direction they purposed taking. It
is considered that they will experience difficulty in
escaping, as the columns under Generals Zavala,
Echagne, and Concha are acting in concert, in
order to surround the insurgents and cut off their
retreat.

General Prim is ill, and is compelled to:accom-
pany the insurgent columns in a carriage.
The garrison of Avila, on entering Portugal, were
disarmed by the authorities. Complete tranquillity
prevails throughout PortugaL
MADRID, JAN. 8.

Tranquillity continues to prevail in this city.
There are no public signs of sympathy with the
pronunciamente on the part of the inhabitants.
Fresh detachments of troops left yesterday in
pursuit of the insurgents.
It is asserted that the government has proposed
that General Prim should be degraded from his
rank in the army, and that the Queen has signed a
decree to that effect.

PERPIGNAN, JAN. 9.

Letters dated Baroelona, the 7th, evening, have
been received here, announcing that large crowds
had assembled in the streets of that town, but had
been dispnrsed by the military. Considerable ex-
citement prevailed.

POLAND.
ST. PETERSBURG, J. 9.

The Deutsche Petersburger Zeitung of to-day says :
—" We learn on good authority that an improve-
ment will shortly be made iu the position tf the
Roman catholic secular clergy in Poland, the
incomes of the lower orders being increased, while
those of the higher grades will be diminished.
The government will administer, for the benefit
of the clergy, the benefices and the revenues
of the religions foundations, a control being exer-
cised by the committee of the sinking fund and by
ecclesiastical delegates. Compulsory payment of
tithes will be abolished. The total amount of
expenditure for the administration of ecclesiastical
affairs in Poland is fixed at 900,000 roubles per
annum."

GREAT BRITAIN

This table deserves to be carefully studied, inas-
much as upon the face of it very considerable
difference would seem to exist as to the mode in
which the disease is dealt with in various counties.
It is not, however, for us to explain these apparent
anomalies ; we can only point some of them out,
and must leave them to be accounted for by those
who have accurate local knowledge and informa-
tion.
The counties of Worcester and Berke stand
highest on the list of recoveries, whilst in Dorset,
Leicester, Rutland, and Somerset the per centage
is nil—none have recovered ; but the facts in these
latter instances are few, and should the disease
make progress in these counties they may profit by
the experience now accumulating, so as to adopt
successful curative measures. In Wiltshire, which
has hitherto escaped very lightly, 17 per cent. have
recovered ; in Durham, 16 ; in Lancashire,
Warwickshire, and Yorkshire, 15 ; in the extra-
metropolitan parts of Surrey and Kent, 9 and 6 per
cent. respectively ; whilst within the limits of the
metropolitan police district only 4 per cent re-
covered, which may be, in some measure, due to the
want of sufficient means of isolation, &c., so easily
obtainable on large farmsteads in the country.

INTROPOLITAN IMPROVEIiMITH.

The risk and delay peculiar to the traffic in London, and
the pecuniary exigencies of our Board of Works, are con-
trasted by the Times with the condition of Paris, when
after a Series of magnificent improvements, the municipality
finds itself with • surplus on the budget of 1865, and this
not from taxation, but solely by the development of
existing and established resources. The Times wishes our
authorities would take a leaf out of the French book and
give us our metropolitan improvements on these pleasant
terms. We want to be able to go from one part of London
to another without the risk of being stopped for half an
hone on the way. We want to cross the streets without
danger to life or limb, and we should like to find our eyes
gratified and our senses charmed by handsome edifices and
splendid thoroughfares. We pay for a very moderate
instalment of these objects a pretty round sum every year,
Can no system be devised by which we should get
them all accomplished without paying, or, at any rata,
without feeling, any more taxes than we pay now'

The Star consider, the cue of the demolition of the
dwellings of the poor of the metropolis, which is rendered
necessary by railway extensions and other improvements, to
be one entirely for the ordinary voluntary and private
agencies which provide food and olothing and dwellings for
all classes. We must admit, to begin with, that a migra-
tion outwards of the working classes is in every re-
spect desirable, and this the stations of the Metropolitan
Railway render practicable. Just in proportion to the
inquiries, in the suburbs traversed by railway lines, for
working class house accommodation, so will the provision

be made. The law, however, ought to be so far amended
as to provide compensation for the tenante at will who are
turned out by the companies, and often—as in the ease of
small shopkeepen—with great injustice.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Payee.)

James Baylis, 18, Walruses Lawmince, 20, and Thomas
Connolly, 20, were indicted for stealing two shirt and other
articles, value 155., the property of Charles Karp.
Mr. Collins prosecuted.
The prisoners were met in the New Nardi-I—ad on the
evening of the 25th of February by Polies-ocestable William
Newbold, 151 N. with • bundle in their pronassion, but it
was carried by Baylis. He questioned Bib, Ila &booth, sad
he raid the property belonged to them. He asked where
the things had hese got from, and he was told that he
would have to Sod that out. Baylis and Lawrence were
taken thee, but Connolly was afterwards apprehended. Ca
the bundle bring opened at the station-house, it wee found
to contain wet linen, which was found to belong to Mr.
Karp!, of Dowoham-road, fannies, and bad been stolen
from a line in the garden.
The jury found all the privation Gaily.
Charles Cole, police-sergeant 25 0, Joseph Kin& wards!
at the House of Correction, Ooldbeth-fields, and polies-
constables proved several previous convictions against
Baylis and Connolly ; and Lodger, prison officer, proved
three convictions tipsiest Lawrence.
Mr. Payne said that although them were more convictions
sgaiset Baylis and Ooonollythas 'heather, yet he should
sentence each of them to be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for two years.
Baylis said—l beg your pardon, my lord. I should do no
good if Igo back to prison. Do mend me out of the country,
so that I may have a chance of recovering myself.
Connolly—l want to go away too, and I can tell you that
there are many more eon vietioss against me than what you
have heard of. If you send me to prime Ica two years I
shall come back worm than ever. Do oblige me by seeding
me away for Sr. or seven years, end then I may have •
chance of doing good. I have tried soldiering and other
things, but it's no use, sad they won't let me aloes.
Mr. Payne—As you are so desirous of it, sad you may you
shall do no good If you remain, and as moiety will be re-
lieved of you for Poole time, I think I may alter your see-
tence ; but as a former conviction has been put In the in-
dictment against you, Connolly, the acs of parliament does
not allow me to pups on you • lees sentence than gem

Connolly—l don't want less.

servitude for five years, and Connolly for seven years.

RELATIONSaLFTWERN AUSTRIA.
AND PRUSIA.
The Arnir **ow/ of this day says :—" In
iFienna everyone now believes that a war is near at
hand. The greatest activity prevails in the various
arsenals; the quartermaster•general has received
instructions to prepare ambulances for a cam-
paign, and the Northern Railway directors have
been instructed to prepare for the conveyance
of troops. What is still more significant is that
Austria has sent a circular note to the great non-
German Powers throwing frem her own shoulders
the responsibility of a war with Prussia on the
question of the Dnohiee. Prussia, on the other
hand, shows no disposition to hold back. The in-
keno° of Herr von Bismarck, which seemed to be
declining, is stronger than ever, and the Prince
of Prussia, who hitherto manifested opposition
to the policy of the Prime Minister, has
in a conspicuous manner drawn closer to him. At
a soiree which took place on the 14th at the house
of Herr von Bismarck the Prince showed such
decided attention to the host as to have been re-
marked by all present. Von Bismarck was evi-
dently triumphant, and he could not conceal his
satisfaction."

A despatch from Vienna of the 20th states that
trains of artillery have been despatched from Neu-
stadt to the north by Vienna. The 18th in-
fantry regiment has been sent from Pesth to the
north, through Brunn. The white and yellow bri-
gades, known as the King of the Belgians and the

TIN COLONT OP VICTORIA.

The Times cannot accept the advice of Mr. Cardwell that !
we should abstain from criticising the manner in which the
Australian colonies employ the gift which they have re-
°dyed of self-government. We are responsible for their
settees, and save them the necessity of maintsioing fleets
and armies, and we have a good right to criticise their
prooeedings ; this the Times proceeds to do by de-
claring that, great as may have been the errors of the
governor, they are not greater than the violence, unfair-'
seas, and injustice displayed throughout the recent pro-
*media, by the Victorian legislature. All their natural
advantages will not counterbalance the disadvantage if it
shall happen that law and authority are Dot respected, and
the only security that a colonist has for person or pro-
party is the ohaooe of floding himself on the same side
with a dominant majority.
The Daily bees tells Lord Bobent Moutegn, who is not ,
wilfully perverse, that whoever would win respect for his
opinions on colonial subjects in the House of Commons
must study the colonies in themselves and for their own
sake. This is true whether the speaker desire. to leSnence
the action of the government, or to draw general political
lessons, or to act upon opinion in the colony itself. Then 1
free 001001011 are denounced for sot reproducing the
exact institutions of Zeeland. But this is simply
impossible. The royal authority is modified and attenuated
when it is exercised at the distance of half the globe from
its seat, and through a governor who may at any time be
reprimanded and recalled, while there are few, if any, of
our colonies that possess the materials of a genuine upper
house of the bgelstore. The cintest which is going on in
Victoria is really one between the boas fide settlers in the
*deny, who go there to raise up their families and die in
the homes they have founded, and the adventurers who
merely use the colony for their temporary convenience, and
retura to England laden with wealth. The colonists caw
settle the controversy by themselves, and they will sot use
their Legislative Council worse than we should have need
our House of Lords if it had refused to repeal the corn laws
after they had been condemned by the House of Commons.
The Herald taxes Mr. Cardwell with making no refer-
oboe to the petition of the Victoria Assembly and people in
favour of Elie O. Darling. The dismissal of that gentleman
from the governorship was does with heedless haste, espe-
cially when it is remembered that after all he claims to
have been a passive, rather than an active, agent through-
out. Whatever else may be said of Sir Charles Darling,
there ma be no doubt that he bad secured in a remarkable
desree the goodwill and esteem of the people of Victoria.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.)

Antonio Viasani, an Italian, was brought up to receive
the judgment of the court.
This case has been standing over for a long time, and the
facts were these. It was proved before Mr. D'Eyncourt,
one of the magistrates sitting at Clerkenwell police-court,
i
that the defendant was what s called an Italian padrone,
and was in the habit of importing boys from Italy, and
having got possession of them he sent them out with
a monkey, white mice, or an organ to solicit alms,
and the sums so obtained were taken possession of
by the defendant, and the children so employed were
wretchedly clothed and fed. While the boy Giuseppe
Basini was so engaged in begging, having with him a
monkey, be was seen by one of the officers of the Mendicity
Society,and taken into custody for vagrancy. The defen-
dant was afterwards traced as the person who brought the
boy over to this country, and sent biro out on his begging
expedition. Upon this Mr. D'Eyncourt convicted the de-
fendant under the act 5 Geo. IV., cap. 83, see. 3, the
specific offence being "for unlawfully causing and pro-
curing a certain child, to wit Giuseppeßasini, to beg and
gather alms, contrary to the statute," and be was sen-
tenced to be imprisoned snd kept to hard labour for one
month. Against this judgment the defendant appealed to

The calendar contains the names of 31 persons for trial,
24 for felony, and 7 for misdemeanour. The state of edu-
cation was as follows :—Seven can neither read nor write,
4 can only read, 1,-; read and write imperfectly, and only 2
can read and write well. Among the ehartnalis are 2 for
highway robbery, 2 for stealing in the dwe • -house, 4
for embezzlement, 3 for wounding and maliciou sassult-
ing, 1 for horse stealing, and the remainder are eases
usually tried at these sessions.
On the grand jury being sworn, the Chairman said he
was happy to inform them that the calendar was unusually
light for this time of the year, there being the names of
only 31 persons on the calendar for trial, but probably
before they terminated their duties there would be mix or
seven more sent by the magistrates in the course of the
day, making altogether about 38 prisoners. At the last
December sessions there were 63 prisoners tried, showing
an extraordinary diminution of creme. He could hardly
account for it, as there appeared to be some distress, and
perhaps want of work, in some portions of the district.
Among the prisoners for trial be was informed that twelve
of them had been previously convicted, but only two bad
served any severe sentence. The others had chiefly been
fined and summarily punished by the magistrates. Before
he dismissed them to their room he wished to make a few
other remarks respecting the calling together of the gram'
jury so soon after the last session. In this county, when
the general quarter sessions came on, generally two or
three adjournments took place, as the case might be, to
enable the court to clear the gaol, thereby saving expense
and the valuable time of the grand jury, bench, and bar.
If not so, they would have at least 300 prisoners for trial,
and many of them who might be acquitted would expe-
rience great hardship in remaining in gaol three months
before their trial. It was therefore for the benefit of all
that the court held these adjournments. The grand jury
then retired..

LOYALTY IN IRELAND.

Mr. Bagwell, M.P., answering the query of the Tsmes,
" Where are the loyal people of Ireland, why don't they
show'" says he will venture to assert that not a single Irish
nobleman, gentleman, or county or borough magistrate
knows why or wherefore the imperial government is taking
the extraordinary precautions it seems to be doing.
"As far as we know, oar country was never more peace-
able ; our rents are well and cheerfully paid, our gaols are
almost empty, our poorhouses thinly occupied by bed-
ridden, infirm old people and orphans of tender age. I
ask, therefore, what are we 'to show' for' We may
sally forth by day or night protected by our umbrellas.
Were we to carry arms we should be arrested by the police,
but except colds we should catch nothing, not even a
tramp robbing a hen-roost." By refusing the right to allow
volunteer regiments to be formed in Ireland, the British
government has itself undertaken the task of keeping the
peace ; and if through any neglect on its part one life is
sacrificed, history will not hold England guiltless.

1866:

the quarter sessiene of this court, and during the argu-
ment Mr. Montagu I‘. :limns, who appeared for the de-
fendant, took an ob,ection that the boy was :mil not
1-1 years of age, as ..114ed, and therefore was hot a child
in the meaning of the statute. The court, in the abase*
of any proof of the fact, held that the boy was only 14 years
of age, upon which Mr. Williams asked for a case to be
submitted to the Court of Queen's Bench to determine this
point, which was granted, but it was not until last term
that this point was argued.
Mr. Poland said this cane had been argued before the
Court of Queen's Bench, and that court, as the point raised
was clearly a matter of fact for the justices -below, con-
firmed the conviction.
The Assistant-Judge asked the defendant if be bad any-
thing to say now,
Mr. Poland said this court bad no power to alter the
' sentence.
The AseistantJudge (addressing the prisoner) said he
would have to go to prison fora month, and be could
hardly conceive a more important case. It was thb habit
of his countrymen to import children into this country for
the purpose of making a profit by them by pending them
out with an organ, or some other mode by which they
could gather alms for their benefit. Re hoped this con-
viction would be a warning to his fellow-countrymen, but
as this was the first case of the kind he would only be
L sentenced to one month; but should any other cases be
brought forward, they would be dealt with in a more
severe manner.

THE BISHOP Or LOHDOWS CH %BCE.

Those who look to the Bishop of London, the Doily
News says, for a manifesto against Bomish and Romanising
errors may find what they want in this charge. But
most persons look in such a quarter for something more
than denunciations, and it is to be doubted that they
will share the genial but also somewhat feeble optimism
which pervades those portions of the charge in which
they look for practical measures. This is from no
incapacity to perceive the extent of the evil, but
the bishop evidently does not believe in the possibility
of suppressing ritualism and the principles which it repre-
sents by law. What he says on this point may be true ;
but what is it but to acknowledge that the church is
powerless to defend her organic beliefs, and is a field in
which the ritualists must be free to win if they can!

AMERICA.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

THE FRENCH IN MEXICO.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

(131 r ATLA.NTIC 711-ECIRA PR.)

NEW YORK, Dm 3.

Congress was opened to-day.
President Johnson, in his Message, adheres to
his former policy, and urges Congress to adopt it.
The Treasury receipts for the year ending June
will exceed the expenditure by 158,000,000 dots.
_ __

Relative to foreign affairs, the Message says
foreign nations have shovrnamore just consideration
for the national character and rights. France had
intimated to the United States government her in-
tention to postpone the withdrawal of the French
troops from Mexico until the spring. The
United States have remonstrated against
this postponement, and the President hopes
that France will reconsider the subject, con-
forming as nearly as practicable with existing en-
gagements, and thus meeting the just expectations
of America.

~,erase in the matter of the adjustment of
the Alabama claims is slow, partly owing to the
change of ministry in England. The President
expects, however, that the claims will now be con-
sidered in a becoming friendly spirit. The im-
portance of an early settlement of the question
,cannot be exaggerated.

Secretary M'Culloch, in his financial report to
Congress, urges the resumption of specie payments
in 1868.
The Inman steamship City of Baltimore arrived
out yesterday, and the North German Lloyd's
steamship America to-day.
Tho National Steam Navigation Company's
steamer Scotland, which left this port on Saturday
for Liverpool, is ashore on the outer middle bar at
Sandy Hook. She came into collision with and
sank the ship Kate Dyer, and was put aground
to prevent her from sinking. At 10 o'clock last
night she was full of water, and will probably
prove a total loss. The cargo may be saved in a
damaged state.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—DEC. 3.
After Tenn Nisi Prins Sittings at Westminster.—(Before
the Lord Chief Justice and Special Juries.)
WALLVISTRIN V. HIE/Mt
This was an action for the infringement of an alleged
musical copyright. The defendant pleaded several pleas
denying the plaintiff's right to the copyright.
Mr. Ed. James, Q.C., and Mr. J. O. Grata, were
counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr.
Day were counsel for the defendant.
The plaintiff fa a German, and a musical composer, and
at the present time conductor of the Haymarket orchestr►,
The defendant, Miss Herbert, is the lessee of St. James's
Theatre. The plaintiff claimed M. penalties for using his
musical composition, which he produced at St. James's
Theatre during the run of a piece called Lady Audio's
Secret, adapted from the novel of that name during Mr.
Frank Matthews' management. The question mainlyturned
upon the engagement entered into by the plaintiff and Mr.
Frank Matthews, and ultimately turned on a point of law,
via., whether a person employing another to do certain
things in connection with literature and music might be
said to have " purchased his brains, " and had a copyright
in the production. The Court of Common Pleas in a
simil►r action had held in the affirmative.
After hearing some evidence on both aides,
The Lord Chief Justice said it would be much better for
him to direct a verdict to be entered for the defendant,
with leave to the plaintiff to move the court to enter the
verdict for him on the point of law.
Verdict for the defendant.
SPITTY V. KITCHIN.
This was an action for false imprisonment and a
malicious prosecution. The defendant pleaded, first, not
guilty, and secondly that he had reason to believe the
plaintiff had stolen government stores.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Wiles were counsel
for the plaintiff ; Sir B. Collier and Mr. J. Browne, Q.C.,
were counsel for the defendant.
The plaintiff is a general dealer and beer-house keeper,
residing at Bridwell-on-the-Sea in Essex, and the de-
fendant, Captain Kitchen, is in the command of the coast-
guard station there, and the charge against the plaintiff
was that he had stolen the rope in question, whereas the
plaintiff said he bought it so long ago as 1660 at a sale on
the beach of old stores by a previous commander on the
i station.
• The case had not concluded when the court rose.

MINISTERIAL DINNERS IN BERLIN.

A correspondence from Berlin, dated September
9, contains the following: _

" The good understanding which has been esta-
blished between the government and the Chamber of
Deputies is strengthened by ministerial dinners, which are
as agreeable as they are an efficacious means of reconcilia-
tion. Following the dinner given by Herr von der Heydt,
the Minister of Finance, a great banquet was given yester-
day by Herr von Bismarck. There were about 40 persons
present, and amongst them were deputies of all shades of
opinion. HerrenTwesten,tinruh,Michaelis.Boocum-Dolffs,
Simeon, Vincke, and the three presidents. Thepublic are ex-
tremely rejoiced at these symptoms of harmony which in
their opinion augur well fur the interests of Germany, Its
grandeur, and its freedom. The dinner oommeneed at 6,
and the guests did not retire till 10. Opinions which were
supposed to be contradictory were found to be less diver-
gent on many questions than had been imagined. Count
von Bismarck was the moat affable of Ainphytrions. He
was charmingly jovial, and expressed himself with a frank-
ness which astonished diplomatists of the old school, like
Baron Werther, Herr von Savigny, and others who were
present. He conversed a great deal with Herr von For-
kenbeck, the president of the Elective Chamber."

COLLISION ON THE SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)

(zeorza's nizazem.)
PLYMOUTH, Sm. 13.

A disabled engine belonging to a luggage train '
was run into this morning by the down mail train on the
South Devon Railway. The engine and one of the carriages
of the train were thrown off the line, but without causing
damage to life or limb. The luggage engine was deserted
by its driver and stoker, and ran on for five miles into
Plymouth station, where it was brought up by crushing
through the station buffers into the cloak-room, causing
considerable damage, but no persons were hurt. The
arrival of the mails was delayed two hours.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MON OM OWN cosaissrosmcrr.)

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

-
The Patrie (a most suspicious authority, because
it has long played the part of counsel for the
Mexican bondholders) says it is enabled to-day to
give authentic particulars of General Castelnau's
mission to Mexico, and it proffers the opinion
that this information contradicts all the
rumours as to Maximilian's intention to abdicate
and as to the secret reasons for the Empress Char-
lotte's visit to France. General Castelnau is to
suggest a great many administrative and military
reforms, which are to begin in December next.
The appointment of General Osmont and M. Friant
(both Frenchmen) as Minister at War and
Minister of Finance is the " point of depar-
ture of a new situation." The Mexican
army, commanded in great part by French officers,
is hereafter not only to do military duty, but to be
employed in " directing the various administrative
and financial services." The employes in these de-
partments will be selected from the army. This
system, which is intended to last for three or four
years, will have the advantage of great economy
for the Treasury, because Mexico will have scarcely
any other expenses than the maintenance of the
army, and it will, at the same time, respond to the
most pressing wants of the populations which desire
order and economy above all things. The
organisation of the new Mexican army, which is
the basis of this whole system, was rapidly advanc-
ing at the date of the last advices ; the number of
volunteers was so considerable as to make it prac-
ticable to suspend the conscription. As soon
as the army shall be entirely formed it will take

possession of the different services, and it is '
thought that the substitution may be effected be-
fore the departure of the last contingents of the
French expeditionary corps. As soon as General
Castelnau shall, in his character of French com-
missary, settle the different questions in which
French adhesion has been deemed necessary he
will return to Paris, and it is thought he may be
here in the early part of December. Marshal
Famine having no longer a command commensu-
rate with his high rank will leave Mexico about
the same time.

Such is the scheme, announced with a great
flourish of trumpets by the Patric, for propping up
Maximilian's falling empire, and I do not hesitate
to denounce it as a contemptible essay to throw
dust in the eyes of the public, and deceive the un-
lucky bondholders. The Mexican empire bubble
has burst, and the ridiculous scheme of turning
soldiers into clerks will not serve the purposes of
delusion for many hours.
The Bourse was again dull. Rents fell 10c. both
for cash and account, closing at 70fr. 10c. and
70fr. 15c. Italian fell 10c. ; Mobilier, 2fr. 50c. ;
and Credit Fonder, 10c.
London, England, 1866-09-13

The same journal says :—" The diplomatic nego-
tiations with several states of Northern Germany
are beset with great difficulties.
"No arrangement has yet been come to with
Saxony, and the negotiations with Saxe Meiningen
are at a standstill. Only the elder branch of the
House of Reuss appears to have shown a desire to
come to an understanding with Prussia, the
Princess Caroline, Regent of that principality,
having sent a plenipotentiary to Berlin to negotiate
for the union of her dominions with the North
German Confederation."

In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the debate'
on the electoral law for the proposed German
parliament was resumed.
Count Biamarck made a long speech, in which
he pointed out the difficulties which would arise to
the government by the adoption of the bill as
amended by the committee. He laid great stress
upon the opposition which had been shown by
Mecklenburgh and which the Prussian government
had not been able to overcome. He repelled the
censure of Herr Schulz-Delitach that the govern-
ment had made little use of the Prussian victories,
and declared that history would explain concurrent
events, and prove that the Prussian government
bad made even a daring use of the victories
achieved by the army.

The bill was puma by a large majority in the
form proposed by the committee. All the amend-
ments, excepting those brought forward by Herren
Bode and Korech, were rejected.
Upon the proposal of Herr Barth, member of
the Bavarian Chamber of Deputies, and President
of the Assembly of Delegates from all the Gorman
diets,which recently held its last meeting at Frank-
fort, the committee of that assembly has been con-
voked for the 16th inst. at Berlin, in order to con-
-1
1 alder the present state of political affairs in ever-
many.
