I believe, carried out by the same distinguished engineer,

I feel I should be wanting if I did not allude in terms of
admiration to the genius and skill of the engineer, Sir
Charles B. Bright, who has carried out this enterpia,
and to the teal and courage of those who brought
It to • atocemfal termhation. (Apples's.) It is Ea
necessary, I am certain, to call attention to the diligence
and attention 'hoer by the crew of the 6.pmemneu

not read the description of the voyage in the Times new"-
piper. The seal and enterprise were only to be squalled by
the skill with which it was carried out. I believe there was
only a differenos of twelve miles between the two ends of
the cable when It came to the shone There are moms qua-
Vona with regard to the date at which the work was eur feed

on the 6th of Aso* 1856, it was completed, sad it was on
the Sib of August, more than 300 years ego, that Cepistebne
left the shores of Spain to proceed on his ever-memorable
voyage to America. It was on the 6th of Anal, 1563,
that Sir Hugh Oilhwt, a worthy ocsantipeau of
Beisigh and of Drake, steered his good ship the Squirrel to
the shores of Newfoundland, and first unfurled the
leg of England in the very bay where this
triumph has now taken place—(applanee)--and it
was on the same sth of August that yoar sove-
reign was received by her imperial friend amidst the
fortifications of Cherbourg, and thereby put en end to the
ridiculous no sense about strife and dissension. (Applause.)

plause.) Among the many points which must have given
every one satisfaction, was the manner is wHoh this

There appears to hare been but one feeling if
rejoicing predominant amongst them, and I mama
beet think that that was not only <ming to their com-
mercial enterprine, which they shared elate with os, bat
also, I trust, more to the feeling of consanguinity and aft
tion which I am sure we share, though occasionally dis-
turbed by intarnational disputes, and by differences caused
by misrepreeentationa or hastiness.. It must still buts as
beightly in their breasts as In ours. (Applause.) I trust
that, not only with our friends acmes the Atlantic, hut with
every civilised nation, this peat triumph of science sill

line of that stanza, and " like kindred dropsy be mingled

The Cusis.suor next proposed the "Health of the Presi-

not generally their custom to do honour to a foreign

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MON OUR OWN 0013/11170NDINT4
PARIS, TT/ISDAY EVINING.

All Paris is talking today of a terrible accident
which occarred at ten o'clock lest night on the St.
Germain Railway. The following is the account of
it officially communicated to the journals by the
Western Company :—" A very sad accident occurred
yesterday at the Vesinet station. The train which
left St. Germaine at ten p.m., and which, as is well-
known, descends the incline from the station along
the atmospheric portion of the line by its own gra-
vity, did not stop at the accustomed spot, but
dashed against the engine which was in waiting to
take it on to Paris. The shock was violent. One
carriage was knocked to pieces; the engineer and
two passengers were killed ; several passenger.;
were wounded, and some of them very seriously. It
is supposed that the break attached to the leading
carriage of the train must have given way."
The train in question was one of the lest bringing
back immense numbers of holyday folks from the
celebrated Fêtes des Loges, held annually in Sep-
tember, in the forest of St. Germano. I hear that
the train consisted of the unusual number of forty
carriages, and it is probable that thi.immense force,
on a violent incline, was greater than the breaks
were calculated to resist. The moral of this acci-
dent is that all extra and pleasure trains are
greatly to be dreaded. I am afraid the accident
will turn out to be more serious than the communi-
cation from the company would infer, several
of the wounded having, I believe, died. A party
of market women from the Halle, who had saved
up their money to enjoy the fête, were the principal
sufferers. M. Sallee, the censor of the press at the
Ministry of the Interior, was in one of the car-
riages, but he escaped without injury.
The Press, is the only journal which as yet dares
to notice the will of the Duchess of Orleans, but it
leaves blanks for all the political passages.
A Bordeaux journal gives the following account
of the arrival of the Imperial Prince (aged two
years a halt) at Bordeaux:
His imperial highness was conducted in a court carriage,
escorted by a detachment of Lancers, to La Budd', at the
southern station, where the directors had prepared a break-
feet. Along the whole line of hie passage he wu saluted by
loud cheers, to which he responded by blowing kisser. His
imperial highness was received at the southern station by
the administrative council of the company. The general-
oorninandurg-in.chisf, the prefect, and the railway directors,
had the honour of sitting at the earns table with the Prince,
wbo did not appear to be the keel fatigued by his journey.
At halt-put seven the imperial train left Bordeaux fur
Biarritz, amidst cries of " Vivele Prises Imperial 1"

The Bourse has been brilliant to-day. The Rente
rose 30c. for cash, and 30c. for account, closing at
72fr. 30c. and 72fr SOc. Mobilier rose 17k. SOc.
The Orleans and Eastern Railway rose about 10fr.,
and the other lines from 3fr. to sfr.

There is a talk of the creation of an Archbishop of
Algiers. In that cue • bishop's see will be esta-
blished at Constantine.

The following paragraph, concocted in Paris, will
appear, in due course, in all the French provincial
journa/s.

We are lamed that the Time, has consented to Insert in
its columns a joelfication of the conduct of Vely Path. in
Candle. This article proceeds, it is mid, hem the Turkish
govt, and the °besot of it is to prepare yablio opinion
he the appointment of Val, Paces to the Paris embassy.
A Paris letter, in the ledlpesdanee of Brussels,
gives the following gardenias of the resignation of
the Count de Bestir d'Agneseean, as via-president of
the council-general of the liaotee-P yrenees :
The Hotel of the Preto:tare of Tarbes was formerly the
paste of the bishop of that sty, and adj tins the cathedral.
In • small wood belonging to the hotel, and standing at the
back of the church, are some old chapel., now fn rains, but
containing I. their vaults the roods' ramming of the oldest
families of the Bigorre (the Grammante, N 41,20108, 0116014 a,
Montesqedens, Artegnans, ate.). The wood itself le the old
cemetery et the cathedral. U. Nary, the prefer*, has
deemed away the place; and applied to it a very
different purpose. The bishop wrote en the sot-
Let to the prefect, who replied that he would sot
yield say of his privileges. The bishop then Lid
the matter before the government, and the prefect was sum-
moned to Paris. The result of hie journey is not known,
bat It is believed that the prefect gained his point. The
master wee brought before the couseil-geseral when pre-
sided over by Count Bdgur d'Aguesesau, In the absence of
K. ?meld. A violent altercation took place between the
prefect end the oount as the rabies* of the works which bad
been emeseted. It. Sligur, finding that the majority took the
side Glee prefect, dedguated them u " moutons de Pa-
wns" and a vile flAk, and left the sitting, giving in his
resignation as member of the commit. That body being dm
without • chairman, was obliged to sespend its opeamicsa.
Petitions are in course of signature, approving of the conduct
of the count, but the oouncil-general persists in upholding
the plebe.

NAPLES, Ave. 28.
Here, as elsewhere, the possibility of a return of
the ministers of England and France is spoken of,
but not without awakening the utmost surprise and
indignation. Every one lifts up his hands and ex.
claims, " But how is the position changed—what hes
been done—what is contemplated? Lord Palmerston
was blamed for not maintaining the national dignity,
and yet Lord Nialmesbury is trying to take a step
which would compromise us vastly more than any
act ever dreamt of by Lord Palmerston. In face,
a renewal of relations with Naples in actual
circumstances, would be to embrace one who
has despised our counsel; who has insulted
England in a thousand ways; who has imprisoned
and maddened her subjects; who has grossly ill.
treated a faithful and a spirited ally ; and who has
vowed, and kept his vow, never to bend, never to
yield. What will be said of our foreign policy if
Lord Malmesbary condescends to such an
lion ? It may be that Naples may offer a pleasant
residence for one of the numerous relatives of his
lordship, and already the name of one is
reported as likely to fill this post. It may
be, too, that a foothill jealousy of French
influence here may be dreaded, but a reconciliation,
which it is well known has Lord Derby's govern-
ment for its principal support, would do more than
anything else I can conceive, to destroy the little
influence which England yet retains, and to incrust
the prestige of the French name. I write strongly,
because, from being on the spot, I know precisely
what is the opinion of all classes on this important
question, and am acquainted with its various phases,
It is useless to say that concessions will be made be.
fore the legations return—that they are
_promised,
ar.d " that every member of the House of
Commons will be satisfied." The King will
not bend, but his government will out-diplo.
matire credulous England. His Majesty does
not know what it is to bend except to rise again
with greater force, as in 1848 ; and if our minister
does return after much vaunted concessions, it will be
found that they are nothing worth, and only make
the position a vast deal worse than it was before.
At present England has the vantage-ground, sod
miserable work will it be if she sacrifices it to seem-
ing concessions, or promises as worthless as a royal
oath. Should so unjustifiable and impolitic a step
be taken, it is to be hoped that the country will not
spare Lord Malmeebury any more than it did
Lord Clarendon. In itself Naples is an
insignificant power, but it is the nucleus
of important principles and interests; and our treat-
ment of her in a pretty good test by which to judge
of the tendencies of our own government.
As the fête of Pie di Orotta approaches the areal
rigours of the police are increased and fresh arrests
are made. The King, it is said, must show himself
on this great public occasion or he is lost ; but uhe
fancies that assassins lurk in every corner (by the
by, a weakness much encouraged by the Emperor
and the imperial government of France early in the
year), precautions of the moat extraordinary and
illegal character are taken. Thus I am informed that
provincials have orders to quit Naples on the Bth
of September ; and one case is cited where
medical certificates were brought forward to prove,
that the remonstrant was here for the benefit of his
health and for sea bathing. Of no use—the police
order most be observed, Naples must be left. Then
are two reflections which naturally occur after hear-
ing of such incidents. How little moat be the
respect for us in a country where such illegalities
are practised. A lesson taught by the highest autho-
rity is easily learnt by the subject. Again, how
frightful must be the state of the country where such
violations of law are considered necessary to its
peace. And then one reasons back to maws
with which at present I have nothing to
do. Naples is full of a thousand reports, which are,
perhaps, nothing else bat the reflex of the tide of
public opinion, and facts without the kingdom.
Ile abdication of the King, an amnesty, a change
of ministers, the resignation of Sig. Carafe, cum mul-
tia oar. I attach no importance to them. They are
nothing more than weeds which a storm has thrown
on the surface, for the reported reconciliation with
the Western Powers has produced a storm here. I
page them over for the present, reserving to myself
the right of returning to them should future events
give them any probability. The qsarentine,
which many call the political quarantine, has
been taken off as far as regards Malta.
Mr. Barber, our acting consul, remonstrated
against it, and, after a short correspondence,
it was taken off in compliance with his representa-
tions and request. The inference is that if similar
efforts had been made by the French consulate it
would have been taken off from vessels ooming from
Marseilles.

The Centaur has been waiting some days at Mes-
sina in order to avoid detention in quarantine at
Naples. On Tuesday lest it was oommunicated to
her by telegraph that the quarantine was taken el
on Malta, and she came up on Thursday. Two sta-
tions of the newly-laid electric telegraph from Napks
to Ischia were opened last week in Pozzuoli end
Procida, "with the unanimous expression," says the
official journal, "of that grateful joy which 'mani-
fested itself in all its force with enthusiastic cries of
' Viva il Re.' "

The seems has been of the most extraordinary and
exceptional character, and the Marled* gives SINAI
reports from the provinoes of the damage witieh hat
been done. In some places the violist storms Man-
dated the country and entire street' and homes, de-
stroying the hopes of the harvest, and leaving docks
of sheep, and men victims of the lightning. In
Crecchio, in Abruzzi Citra, a woman WWI killed; in
Ripalda, in the province of Campo-Bseso, two per
were killed ; and is Cevignola, in CApitanats,
two workmen were victims.

The Journal of the 26th instant speaks of a storm
which railed for six days is the commons* of Locus.
Biccari, }Weep Gelle, Ischitclla, St. Giovanni,
and Other localities in Capitalists, doing
considerable injury. The bail and the deluge et
rain have destroyed a great part of the liarrwt.
One man 111111 killed by lightning in Biccari.
People speak much of the extensive phosterin
lights with which the sarfaoe of the seais i
nated near Naples. Something of the kind is Awe
Table every year, but I believe it has not been wit.
