RUSSIA.

A St. Petersburg letter says :
Special prayers have just been offered up in the Church
of Isaac by the Archbishop of Lddore, to solicit the inter-
vention of Heaven to stay the cholera. In five weeks that
terrible scourge has carried off 5,000 victims here. Of the
persons attacked, scarcely one in three escapes, and the
epidemic carries off more than twice as many men as
women, The Grand Duke Alexander has commenced the
tour in the interior of the empire which the heir to the
throne is always bound to perform. At the same time,
his brother the Grand Duke Alexis is going round the
world with Rear-Admiral Paget, in order to learn his bu-
siness in the navy.

ROME.

The Temps has the following :
If oar information from Rome is correct, the Pope is on
the eve of taking, in anticipation of the term fired by the
convention of Sept. lb, a determination not wanting in
originality, and which, if realised, will certainly provoke
long controversies and complications of more than one
kind. After having announced his intention to the catho-
lic world in • solemn encyclical, his Holiness will write,
report says, • letter to the Emperor Napoleon, in which he
will offer to Land over to him, under the title of • vicari-
ate, the States of the Church. This treader would
comprehend, be it observed, the provinces which Italy
has annexed to herself in virtue of royal decrees, which
the Holy See has never recognised and which the French
government at first disavowed. The motives invoked by
Pius IX. to justify this step are said to be the follow-
ing :—ln presence of the dangers incurred by the temporal
power, the Holy Father cannot abandon the domain of
St. Peter to the covetousness of the revolution ; and the
Papacy, not being itself able to defend the possessions in.
sured to it by the two founders of the Carlovingian dy-
nasty, can only place them in the hands of the heir of the
donor, the successor of Pepin le Bret, the c►tholic prince
par exec fence, his most Christian Majesty the Sovereign
of France. The donor would thus resume, under a pro-
visional title, and whilst waiting for days less troubled by
impiety, the guardianship of the oonsensted provinces ;
and just as the Pops is the spiritual vicar of Christ, the
Emperor Napoleon 111. would become the temporal vicar
of the Pope. Our readers will readily believe that we give
this news under all reserve.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
We have a large supply of beasts, chiefly consisting of
foreign and middling qualities. The choicest English
beasts are disposed of at nearly late rates, but a clearance
cannot be effected of inferior descriptions. The number of
sheep is about the same as last Monday ; the demand has
decreased, and the prices of that day cannot be realised
throughout. The demand for lambs and calves is very
limited, and prices on the average are lower. Our foreign
supply consists of 3.760 beasts, 12,100 sheep. 230 calves,
and 210 pigs. From Scotland we have 10 beasts ; Ireland,
52 ; Norfolk and Suffolk, GO ; and 1,768tr0m the Northern

LEGAL EDCCATION.

In one sense, no doubt, the Times thinks it is
quite true, as Mr. Coleridge says, that no attainments,
however exalted, can be thrown away upon either branch
of the legal profession. On the other hand, it is
by no means equally certain that a young lawyer's
chances of professional success are, under our
present system, promoted by a taste for poetry, science,
philosophy, or art. A youth who looks forward at
all feels that be must begin his apprenticeship early,
or he will probably have to wait till middle life for the
means of marrying, until old age has long set in for the
means of retiring. Nor can it be said that, after he has
waned to study, and before he has begun to practise, he
may profitably repair the defects of his education, and
indulge in the pleasures of literature. It is notorious that
nothing damages a man's chances at the bar so effectually
as a literary reputation, and if it were possible to conceive
a literary solicitor, it would be impossible to conceive
any client resorting to his office. It is even doubt.
ful whether the publication of • law•book does not
epel more business than it attracts, since it is
suggestive of a turn for something other than practice.
So long as these notions prevail it is vain to expect that
a high education should be held in due honour at the bar.
The truth is, for • great part of the work done in court
or chambers no conspicuous general ability is required.
A friend of very ordinary capacity, but with the requisite
patience and caution, will get through it almost as well as
a future Mansfield or Eldon. He is therefore employed,
and gradually increasing his practice in this way obtains
a silk gown in due time, while men immeasurably his supe-
riors are still brieflees, or have quitted the bar in disgust.
Evils of this kind are to some extent incurable ; but a
great deal remains to be done in providing a better system
of legal education, and there is no reason why the bodies
which profess to undertake the regulating the study of the
law in this country should not act in concert with each
other, with the universities, and with the various institu-
tions iiiiivhich law students receive their preliminary in-
struction.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.)
James Wardell was charged with wilfully damaging a
picture belonging to Miss Angela Georgina Burdett Coutts.
The circumstances out of which the charge arose have
already been reported in our columns.
The Jury retired to consider their verdict, and after an
absence of an hour returned into court, finding the prisoner
Guilty.
The Assiatzud-Judge said that the court would ill dis-
charge its duty, after the defence that had been set up,
un►ess it passed a severe sentence, which was that the
prisoner be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve
months.

(Before Mr. Payne.)
Robert M'Kasky, 33, who was convicted on Wednesday
of an assault upon Albert Hammett, a polix-constable,
was brought up to receive judgment.
Mr. Cooper (instructed by the Treasury) again appeared
on behalf of the prosecution. Mr. Inspector Sims, of the
I) division, watched the case on behalf of the police autho-
rities.
When the prisoner was placed in the dock,
Mr. Payne said he had consulted with the Assistant-
Judge as to the sentence he should pronounce upon the
prisoner, and he really thought he ought to receive penal
servitude, but under all the circumstances they would not
proceed to that extremity. If he (the prisoner) had struck
the unfortunate man on the head instead of the arm he
would have killed him. He would then have been tried at
the Central Criminal Court, and would certainly have
been hanged. After consulting with several other
magistrates on the bench the court thought the ends of
justice would be met by sentencing the prisoner to be im-
prisoned and kept to hard lab-ur for two years, and to
enter into his own recognizance/ in the sum of 501. to be
of good behaviour for twelve months.
The Prisoner—l would rather have five years or seven

years.
Mr. Payne—Take him away ; the sentence of the court
has been pronounced.
The prisoner, upon being removed by Tinnoch, the dock
warder, said he wished he (meaning the learned judge) had
had the lot he bad given the constable.
Mr. Payne ordered him to be brought back, with a view
of altering the sentence, but the prisoner watt be did nut
intend his remark for the court, and the sentence remained
as above.
The Prisoner—When I come out I shall go to America.
Mr. I'ayne—And every goodthing, too.

NEW YORK, Ocr. 31, Molornra:

The New York Times announces that Mr.
Campbell has started for Mexico accredited
as United States Minister to Juarez. The
same journal also says :—" The withdrawal of
the French will commence next month, a year
being allowed for the evacuation. Maximilian
will leave with the French. The United States
will protectillexico by guaranteeing a stable govern-
ment. A Federal army and navy will be held in
readiness to assist Juarez should he need
aid, a Federal officer of high rank being
placed in command. Mexico will cede certain
territory to the United States bounded by
a line from the mouth of the Rio Grande to
Guaymas."
General Sheridan is reported to have been
ordered to Washington on account of the condition
of Mexican affairs.

to be the Constitutional President of Mexico, and

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—THIS DAT.)
Our market to-day was scantily supplied with English
wheat, coastwise as well as by land carriage. Selected
qualities were in fair request, at previous quotations ; but
inferior kinds were a heavy inquiry, at the late de-
cline in value.
The transactions in foreign wheat were limited ; never-
theless, prices were supported. The supply on offer was
by no means extensive.
Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry.
There was a good demand for flue barley, at full cur-
rencies ; but grinding and distilling sorts commanded very
little alteration, at late rates.
The sale for malt was somewhat heavy. In prices,
however, very little change took place.
Oats were quite as dear as on Monday, but the demand
for them was by no means active. The supply was tole-
rably extensive.
Beans commanded full prices.
No change took place in the value of peas. The demand
was chiefly retail.
Flour maintained its previous value, with a fair demand.
The seed trade was steady, on former tuna. Cakes
were in moderate request, at late rates.

CHATHAM, Nov. R.

The government having decided on augmenting
the troops now in Ireland, an order was this morning re-
ceived at this garrison from the Horse Guards, directing
the depot companies of the 2ud battalion of the 2nd
Queen's Royals to be held in readiness to take their de-
parture from Chatham barracks on Saturday, and embark
at Gravesend for Dublin, whence they will be forwarded
to Birr, where the depot will be quartered. The head-
quarters and service companies of the 2nd battalion of the
2nd Regiment will also, on tLeir arrival from Bermuda, be
quartered in Ireland. A few months ago the whole of the
depot battalions were withdrawn from Ireland, by which
several thousand troops were removed from that country to
England. It would, however, appear to be the intention
of the present government to make up the former military
strength in Ireland by sending certain of the regiment..

THR ROYAL KIBBLG THIS 1111711FING.

The House of Commons will this evening be
called upon to consider two royal messages, mid to express
its sense of the loss which the country has sustained by the
death of Lord Palmerston. The Post observes that in sup.
porting the dignity of the crown, the country discharges •
duty, sad happily, in the present instance, • public obli•
gation--that of affording a suitable provision for the
Primer Helena and for Prince Alfred—will be fulfilled
with unmixed satiafactio•, and the cotes of the House of
Commons will convey to the throne fresh evidence of the
attachment of the people to her Majesty's person. With
regard to the third subject, the Post foresees that the house
will hang upon the eloquent words of Mr. Gladstone as he
reviews the events of a parliamentary career of sixty years'
duration, and that Mr. Disraeli will interpret the views
entertained by the opposition in language befitting the
occasion.

The Herald imagines that in none of these instances
will it be neemsary for Mr. Gladstose to vindicate with any
fulness of argument, him proposals. Parliament itself has
created the necessity for dowries in disabling the members
of the royal family from contracting alliances beyond a
particular circle. Princess Helena, within the last two
years, has taken part in many agreeable ceremonials, and,
by her unaffected courtesy and kindoess of heart, has won
to herself a social love which will not fade. When, there-
fore, the Sovereign asks the Commons to grant her daughter
soon to be wedded, a suitable portion, the Herold is con-
vinced that the response will be loyal and unanimous, and
cannot conceive that any owing, will be listened to from
the most vulgar of the radical pseudo-economists. The vote
for our seagoing, self-water prises, who wherever he has
been has left a good name behind, is equally certain to meet
with acceptance. Heretofore the demands have been by no
means exceeds*, and as to the heir apparent many have
even felt surprised that the house his not bees called
upon to supplement its original vote. Equally doss the
Herald approve of the proposal pledging the house to
make good the cost of a monument to be erected in
Westminster Abbey, in memory and honour of Lord
Palmerton. The great party from which Lord Palmerston
learned the lesson which he repeated throughout his
publics life, of a conservative love for the ancestrel institu-
tions of Lis country, will heartily assist in the comma.
lion of his truly English renown.
The Telegrap4 thinks that the grants of 15,0001. per
annum for the Prinoe, and 6,0001. for the Princess, which,
it is understood, the sovernmeat will propose, are of no
greet magnitude compared with the wealth of the country.
I II is the wish of the nation that our royal family should
be able to occupy worthily that high social position to
which they are called by birth ; and the legislature will
allot the sums demanded readily enough, more particularly
' I " there is reason to anticipate that the Queen will once

&pia occupy that place in public which she alone can fill
to the satisfaction of the nation.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE FRENCH IN MEXICO.

Tie Patric reports the arrival of news from
Mexico by way of Havannah, according to which
there was " every reason to hope " that Baron Sail-
lard's mission will be suooessfnL It was thought
that so early as the and of May it world be prao-
ticable to send back to France as many as 4,000 or
5,000 troops. Maximilian himself is said to have
suggested this considerable instalment of the pro-
mised evacuation.

The Zonaves sentenced to death by court-martial
in Mexico for the extraordinary mutiny at Marti-
nique will have their lives spared. The Emperor
has commuted their sentence to ten years' hard
labour in Algeria.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Payne.)
Henry Archer or .Frair, 18, an impudent looking fellow,
was indicted for attempting to steal divers keys, belonging
to a certain female, whose name is unknown, from her
person.
Mr. Montagu Williams prosecuted, Mr. Pater defended.
Mr. Montagu Williams stated the facts to the jury.
Sergeant Cole, 23 0, wee on duty near Scotland-yard
plain clothes on the 6th of February, the day her Majesty
opened parliament, when he observed the prisoner put his
hand through a hole in hi pocket into amoral persons'
pockets.
Charles Oole, police sergeant 23 0, wee called and ex-
amined. lie stated that be showed Mr. Flowers, the
magistrate at Bow-street, the hole in the prisoner's pocket,
Mr. Pater cross-examined Sergeant Cole et some leogtb,
and the prisoner showed his coat to the jury, who failed to
find any hole or trace of a hole in the pocket. (One of the
jurymen was said to bee tailor.)
Sergeant Gale endeavoured to explain to the court and
jury that the hole was not in the pocket but in the lining
of his coat ; the aperture being made at the top of the
pocket, the prisoner would put his hand down by the side
of the pocket, and out of the bottom of the lining.
Mr. Montage Williams mid it had been elicited in the
other court before the learned Assistant-Judge, that the
prisoners had opportunities of sewing up holes in their
clothes.

Mr. Pater dissented to this.
Mr. Mintier' Williams said he believed that it was so,
and if there was say officer of the prison present he should
like to ask him whether it was so or not.
Warder Tinnoch, of the House of Detention, proved
that if the prisoners required needles and thread they
would be supplied to them upon application to the go-
vernor.
After e very eloquent address from Mr. Pater,
The jury Acquitted the primmer.

The Daily News says that the malts of the two recent
agricultural and industrial exhibitions at Allahabad sad
Nagpore justify beyond dispute the view that our change of
government is India, our railways, our sanitary commis-
sioner, our regimental workshop., our recent dem►nd of
unlimited cotton, have effectually roused the native
mind. At Nagpore, in the heart of Central India, the
natives exhibited cotton in great variety and perfection,
hundreds of aorta of rice, precious woods from the forest.,
cams and mineral earths, young elephant., fast-trotting
horse% and exquisite insurdsetures in metals and in vari-
ous gaffs. The people rushed to the exhibition from long
distances to the number of 40,000• By this movement the
natural wealth of the region is as a newly open mine ;
European residents are made better pleued with the country
in which it is their lot to live, and where there is genuine in-
tercourse and common interest between etiaegers and them-
selves we hear of the growth of a public opinion, that mighty
ageat for good, amoeg the satires. It is seen in the purified
sad .0 !toned tone of the native press. and in the new spectacle
. .

of native rulers taking the lead in enoouraging female
education, and schools where native children learn to play,
and the medical education of natives, and the opening of
divines:See wherever qualified native practitioners can be
obtained to attend to them, ad other ameliorations, added
from year to year. Oo the whole, the present progress of
India shows us that, however important its cotton may be
to Lancashire, there is something else which interests
England in general yet more.

TE IHTtrALISTS.

The recent statements of the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Bishop of Oxford, and the Bishop of London, relative
to ritualiatio anemia" may be taken, the Times considers,
as representing the unanimous opinion of the episcopal
bench, and it the ritualists should persist in their present
attitude, the public will certainly bold them guilty of a
gross violation of good feeling. Having drawn a distinction
between the extreme ceremonial of this section of the
church and the mere assimilation of oar ordinary perish
services to the musical form which has always prevailed
in our cathedrals, and which, whore the people do
not object, is harmless, the Times proceeds to argue
that no legislative interference is wanted, and
that as to a revision of the liturgy, if inch a work
is ever to be dose, it must be at a period when religious
party feeling is at rest, and when there is a substantial
agreement on the great points of theological controversy.
To enter on it at a time which Lord Ebury himself charac-
terises as one of great excitement would be to throw away
every chance of meows.

HOMERS FOR MI WORM= mums.

The difficulty with whioh Mr. Torrene's bill seems to the
Times not sufficiently to cope, is in disoovering the
authorities who are to be charged with forcing the wept-
woe sad proper application of loess for providing proper
boudoir for the working classes. Parishes won't do the
work, and no one dreams of getting at the London em-
ployer& If parliament is to set about fiadiag home-
room for the crowds whom a certain matrifugal force.

it must provide some better machinery that it
well fled to heed. How that is to be done we know not,
and it la still a matter far inquiry. The work la one that

AXZEICAIC POLITIC&

We have already published the result of the labours of
the Clounsienion of Inquiry into the Revenue System
of the United States, end have given their vatic=
and important recommendations. The Times points
out that they die lairn the notion of favouring
any present attempt to redeem the debt, and would give
their attention to the adoption of measures tending to
Manage the productive power of the country as the best
means of securing that object ultimately. If it be true,
am stated, that the pressure of State and local taxation, in-
creased as it has been by the payment of interest on loans
raiael for local war expediture, is more severely felt than
even the burden of Federal taxation, the Times believed
there must be much to be said in favour of their view.
The Congress, again, seem more indisposed even than the
commission to listen to any suggestion of reducing the
dabs, sod a formidable sgitetion is in progress for throwieg
upon the nation the burden of the several State debts.
At the same time, our own experience assures us that if
the Brit step towards reduction be not taken now, it may
never be taken. •

The Star expects that Congress in its ;sweat temper will
refuse to open the door to the representatives of the
Southern states until they gives guarantee that the coloured
people will be admitted to a share of political power. If
Congress is true to itself the difficulty may be muoh nearer
a settlement then even President Johnson imagines. It
is true that an issue may be raised in the
Supreme Court—that the cooffict between the executive
and the legislature may be followed by an appeal to a tri-
bunal before which both President and Congress may bow ;
and in this event the judgment of the foremost member
and the brightest ornament of the American bench—Chief
Jostles Chase—may be saltily predicted• In the meanwhile
the black men of America cannot fail to benefit by their
organisation. Temporary failure may itself prove a whole-
some discipline and assist in their political education.

)13 TOPICS.

The Times describes the Indian government as being
placed in a perplexing predicament in consequence of the
refusal of the provincial Ooveroor in Bbootao, the Penlow
of Taupe, to give up cur guns, without which we were
not, according to the treaty, to pay a farthiog of the
stipend out of the revenue of the Doom. In our re-
liance upon this capitulation we have distributed the
force which bad been °monad for the expedition and
if we decided upon war should have to commence operations
at an unfavourable season of the year. We have said
that we most have the guns, and yet we cannot pt them.
It is probable enough that we could not get them by the
exertion of oar whole power, for t►ey might be destroyed
with saes, and the Pealow himself is about as accessible as
if he dwelt in the planet Saturn.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS.

Sir,—ln your impression of this day you remark that
the statement of the Letant Herald, regarding the
150,000/. set aside out of the tribute of Egypt for the
October payment of the coupon of the 5 per cent. Ottoman
Debt must be considered as inconsistent, inasmuch as the
said tribute is already mortgaged to the holders of the
1854 Loan. In fairness to all parties interested in the
matter, may I be allowed to say that, besides the Egyptian
tribute, mortgaged as you state, a further sum is annually
due by the Egyptian to the Turkish government, in accord-
ance with the arrangement lately concluded between them,
and that this further tribute is entirely unencumbered by
any pledge.—l am, tee., B. Q.
