THE YOUNG PEER'S PERSEVUTIIR.—You may
perhaps have heard of the young peer who was subjected
to such an influence, one of the chief forms of torture
applied being the mi•lording him at every sentence.
Determined at any hazard to rid himself of this nuisance,
ho leaped his horse over a very formidable hedge. The
other took the same leap, and when he had recovered
breath, said. "t) Lord ! wy lord, what a terrible leap your
lordship took !"—Blae:oromf's Alafm:in, for November.

GILDING OUR STATUES.I3itatuRTy in bronze,
after a couple of yeare' exposure to the soot and acids
which impregnate our London atmosphere, become absolute
eyesores—their light-absorbing surface of a dead black
altogether obliterates the lights and shadows by means of
I which beauty of form is alone rendered perceptible. They
become in fact mere silhouettes, and, not having been
designed as such, tho outline they invariably present
reminds us of the terms in which M. Mantalini cha-
racterised the contour of the two great ladies whose love
he had rejected for the Lake of his fair milliner—" the
duchess had no outline at all, and the countess's outline
was a dem'd outline." If it be expedient in the present
state of British sculpture to spend money on graven
images at all, it would be surely worth while to provide
the four per cent. additional, which would suffice to gild
them by electrotype. Bronze statues, so treated, and on
pedestals of polished granite, would, at least, tend to
lighten up the gloom of our thoroughfares, instead of, like
our present ststaes, to increase it. What an ornament to
Trafalgar. rare the equestrian statue of Charles I. would
become if cleaned and gilt, with GrinlinGibbon's exquisite
pedestal reproduced in polished red granite, with its
seutcheone and trophies exactly copied in gilt bronze. The
Land•eer lions are understood to have cost about 5,000/. a
piece. An increase of 4 per Dent., or 200/., would have
sufficed to render them, if not " beautiful for ever," at
least clean for ever, by giving them an imperviable
coating of geld, which every shower would restore to its
pristine brightness.—Fortniolaty Berate, November.

(REIITIIB TILZORAIIB.)
THE HURRICANE AT ST. THOMAS.

NEW YORK,

Nov.

9, MORNING.

Official advices from St. Thomas to the British
Consul here state that all the officers and engi-
neers of the Rhone were lost. Out of 145 passen-
gers 25 were saved, but most of the crew were
drowned. Captain Taylor and Mr. Hodgson are
among the saved from the Wye. The town is
almost in ruins. Five steamers and 60 vessels
were wrecked, including a French steamer. The
loss of life is estimated at 500 persons.

THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE.
MUNICH, Nov. 19.

The French invitation to the conference upon the
Roman question addressed to the Bavarian govern-
ment does not lay down the preservation of the
temporal power as the basis of the conference, on
the ground that it is impossible to limit the bearing
of the deliberations.

The Pope has declared that the rights of the
church must remain intact.

FRANCE.
PARIS, Nov. 19, Evemwo.

The sittings of the Senate were opened to-day.
The President, M. Troplong, delivered the opening
speech, in which he said :—" Notwithstanding the
anxieties which have lately been experienced and
the inconsiderate rumours which have been circu-
lated, the ruling power has spoken out firmly with
a programme of peace and sincere respect for the
rights of foreign nations, as well as for the laws of
our own fundamental organization."
The first sitting of the Legislative Body was
opened to-day without a speech from the President.
M. Jules Favre placed upon the table requests
for permission to put three questions to the govern-
ment, namely, respecting the foreign policy of the
French government; respecting ita home policy,
especially as regards individual liberty ; and
lastly, respecting the second expedition to
Rome.
There will be a sitting to-morrow.

The Patrie believes it is enabled to state that
the cabinet of the Tuileries is preparing another
circular relative to the proposed conference on the
Roman question.

GERMANY AND THE CONFERENCE ON
THE ROMAN QUESTION.
" We have already stated (says the I ndependance
Beige) that the invitation of France for the con-
ference has been addressed to all the States of
Europe, large and small, neutral or not, without
excepting those which in Germany are grouped in
the Northern Confederation, under the leadership'
of Prussia. But Saxony, the principal State among
the latter, without declining the invitation, has
deemed it useful to remit it to King William, as
more especially charged to represent the interests
of the Confederation abroad. Although the Grand
Duchy of Baden does not yet form part of the
Confederation, it is thought at Berlin that it will
1 adopt an anal us course. Should this expecta-
tion be realised,we may rest assured that the abdi-
cation which it implies will be little relished by
France aad the other States of the South of Ger-
many."

AMERICA.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9, NOILN/NO.
The President's Message and the Cabinet reports
will not be sent to Congress until the regular session in
December.

The reason reported to have been assigned by Mr. John-
son for suppressing the militia organisations in Wash-
ington is, that they had been organised without the
sanction of the President, who, under the constitution, is
oon.mander-in-chief of the militia in the district of
Columbia.

General Grant has ordered the Freedmen's Bureau Com-
missioners to take possession of all property in the South
recorded as abandoned, and to dispossess unlawful occu-
pants and all owners of property not making formal appli-
cation for restitution by the lat January.
The Alabama Convention bas passed a resolution memo-
rialising Congress to remove the cotton tax. General Pope
was present, and disclaimed all intention to dictate, but
counselled the convention to observe wisdom and modem-
ration in action.
The White Conservative Convention in South Carolina
has Maud an address to the people of the country, pro-
testing against the negro supremacy. Mr. Thaddeus Ste-
vens has written a letter, declaring that he abhors repudi-
ation, but that government was nut bound to pay the prin-
cipal of the 5-20 bonds in coin. Mr. M'Culloch did not
pretend that it was a government loan, and it was a mon-
strous swindle of the Americans on the part of European
capitalists. The letter denounces the national banks, and
recommends the issue of four million dollars legal tender
monthly for the redemption of the bonds.

M 1.1141831.

Referring to the circular purporting to come from the
Irish revolutionary government, which was published in
yesterday's Daily News, the Times advises that the kw be
enforced, and justice be executed upon those who defy it.
There will then be an end of this panic, which is the one
great triumph of Fenisnism. In short, threats of mur-
derous reprisals must be met, not by counter threats or by
acts of despotic vigour, but simply by disregarding them.
They will not influence even for the worse the fate of the
infatuated men now under sentence of death, and their
I only effect can be to call forth 3 determination in all ranks
of society to stand by the government, as the representa-
tive of that order which is the basis of our liberties.
With regard to the deputation to Mr. Hardy, •
more disgraceful outrage was never reported. Like
those for whom lie pleads, Mr. Finlan would over-
bear by violence and dictation the responsible authorities
of the realm. To threaten vengeance to a Cabicet Minister
in the Home-offioe implies the same disrespect for law as
the rescue of a prisoner from the charge of a policeman,
and it L equally unbearable.
There is not a president of a petty republic in the
world, the Daily Nees tells Mr. Finlan and his friends,
who would tolerate the invasion of the public offices by a
set of disorderly persons, and their hostile occupation for
apace long enough to hold • public meeting. There is
no man with the feelings of an Englishman who does not
feel disgusted at seeing the Home Secretary so bullied in
his own office. Now that the subject has been thrust upon
public attention, it is worth considering whether the ways
and manners of deputations to Downing-street do not need
reform. Of late years deputations have grown larger and
larger, and in some cases we have seen a crowd go down to
• Chancellor of the Exchequer or • Secretary of State to
overbear him with their numbers and their disorderly
cries. Mr. Finlan is not the first person who has held •
public meeting in a government office against the wish of
the Minister. Now that a return to order has become

necessary, it may as well be made complete.
Fenianism, says the licrafd, has now so plainly allied

itself with other forms of ruffianism and brutality, that
the tinsel of patriotic pretence bu been stripped from it
for ever. We have now only to deal with these Folio= as
we should with other vulgar murderers —to show no more
consideration to these American colonels and generals than
we should to any other of the miserable gaol-birds who are
sent to Portland or Dartmoor.

THE TORNADO AT ST. THOMAS'S.

(REUTER'S EXPRZ9&)
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.
The following particulars of the late tornado
at St. Thomas's have been received here :
HAVANA, Nov. 5.

An official despatch from the superintendent of the
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, at St. 1 homes, to the
British Consul in this city, says that all the property of
the company has been destroyed by a terrible tornado,
which took place on the 29th of October.
The steamer Rhone was lost on Peter Island, and the
Wye, Captain Taylor, on Buck Island. The Conway,
ICaptain Cammack, went ashore on Tortola Island, and the
Derwent at St. Thomas. The Solent and the Tyne were
dismasted. All the officers and engineers of the Rhone
and all others on board of her are lost. From the Wye
10 persons were saved, including Captain Taylor and
Mr. Hodgeaoo. Over fifty vein's are wrecked.
Of the passengers on board the regular steamer for
Southampton, which had sailed with 150 passengers, only
12 were saved.

The town of St. Thomas is in complete ruins. The loss
of life has been very great, amounting to 100, and the de_
struction of property immetse. The tornado has, indeed,
been a fearful one.

A. French steamer was also damaged by the hurricane at
St. Thomas, and the list of other vowels that received
injuries, large at first, is increasing.
Advice. from St. Thomas represent that the bay is full
of wrecks. Five steamers and sixty vessels have been lost
in the great hurricane. The docks, coal-yards, and factories
atSt. Thomas have been destroyed. The Royal Mail steamer
Rhone was sunk. She had 145 passengers on board, of
whom only 25 were saved. Most of her crew were lost.
Forty of the crew of the Wye, and another steamer,
name unknown, were saved.
The steamers Conway and Derwent were driven ashore,
and the steamers Tyne and Solent were dismasted. The
Tara Newman, from New York, was ashore.

Nov. 6.

Arrived, steamer Eagle from New York. She reports
having met the steamer Hendrick Hudson with her
machinery disabled, and towed her one night; but in the
morning the hawser parted, and the Hendrick Hudson
drifted on the coast. Tugs have been sent to her assistance,
Her stern is ashore, but the will probably get off.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CON.RISPONDENT.)
PARIS, TOZSDAT EVENING.

The budget of 1869 will certainly not be pre-
sented till quite tho end of the year, and I shall be
greatly surprised if it comes out so soon. The
Ministers of War and Marine do not yet know what
they must ask for ; and then M. Magne, fresh in
office, has an excellent excuse for taking plenty of
time to see what he is about. M. Dumiral, the
new Vice-President of the Corps Legislatif (vice
Gouin, created a senator), was advocate-general to
the court of Nom in Louis Philippe's reign, at a
time when M. Rouher was a practising barrister in
the same court. He iv • large landowner in the
department of the Crouse, where he has founded a
model farm. He has been a member of the budget
committee ever since 1862, and for the last three
sessions was the reporter on the budget.

ment from July last, when a new choice of was
directed to take place. This has since been done1 and
Baron Tierry, of Seclo4ton-square has been appointed
assignee. The bankrupt has also filed sdditional accounts,
as ordered by the court. The aggregate liabilities are not
lees than 191,0001., but this amount includes 74,4701. lia-
bilities on bills discounted, and on an award at the suit of
the Steam Packet Compeer, and 106,5441. on accommoda-
tion bills which the bankrupt states are not expected to
rank against the estate. This leaves little more than

preparation of the accounts, at upwards of 75,0001., with
assets of about 10,0001. The Agra and Masterman's Bank
are creditors for 13,1001., sad the Marine Investment Com-

FREEDOM IN PRUSSIA.

The A re)oir National says :

When one wishes to measure the liberalism of a govern-
ment he must look at its conduct towards the press.
Prussia is consistent in her system, and the inflexible logic
of Count Bismarck is apparent in the smallest details-
9114XIMUS is minima. The other day the Caogne Ga:ette
came to hand with three columns in blank, like our liberal
journals in the palmy days of the restoration.. Now the
Hanorer (a:rUc announces that it will not continue to
be published, in consequence of an order issued by General
Voigt-Rheetz. The crime of the Ort:ette consists in having
refused to give the name of an obnoxious article on the
departure of the Queen of Hanover. The editor has been
arrested.

NIL CARLYLE AND THE REFORM QI7E-STION.

In seasons of political commotion, the Daily News re-
marks, the teachings of the leaden of public opinion
are brought into contact with real facts, and the value of
their teaching made clear. Through declaiming against
ahan:s, Mr. Carlyle, men came to believe, was one who
maintained that men should take as direct a part as possible
in governing themselves, but they were mistaken. He has
always manifested a leaning to the side of arbitrary power,
and in au article in Maentillan's Mrtorrrinc this month,
where be predict, all kinds of mischief and anarchy
from a reform in parliament, and bids us rely
on the aristocracy for support—each to act the
part of paternal despot within his domains—Mr.
Carlyle appears in his truest colours. A universal
system of drill " not military only,but human in all kinds,"
is what he promees for the better education of the people.
This suggestion lacks novelty. The Emperor of tho French
has shown how to employ armed voter.; " drilled into own-
bined rhythmic action" for the suppression alike of anarchy
and liberty. This, however, is what we aro to choose in
preference to extending to the nation at large equal political
rights. In place of giving men votes we are told to hold
them in leading strings. Instead of enabling them to
govern themselves, we are called upon to bid them do
what they are told by their betters. We are assured that
the struggle is imminent " between anarchy and anti-
ditto." In ceder to defeat the former we ore adjured to
drill and diacipline the upholders of the latter, so that a
small band may be ready to step forth, with swords ready
to be drawn, and say, " Here aro we, sirs ; we also are
minded to role, to all lengths as you may perceive. A
company of poor men (as friend Oliver termed us) who will
spend all our blood, if needful." We do not fear Mr.
I Carlyle's " Anarchy ;" but we abhor as well as dread his
" God-appointed Order."

CArrAry 111.tnrrAr.—I often wondered where
and when Marryat bad found the time to cultivate his own
mind, for he had had but few advantages of actual educe-
tim. I suppose it was from the great power and habit of
observation which herpoesessed that he learnt intuitively.
There was hardly a scientific subject upon which I.e was
not well informed, besides being, as all the world know!,
a practically scientific man. I have beard him regret that
he was not born n century later than his tithe ; as he con-
sidered the worl.l in a scientific point of view .5 compare-
tively in its intincy. He used to prophesy of the great
discoveries yet to be made in steam and in electricity. He
took a great interest in magnetism and in phietiology, in
both of which be was, lan sure, a firm believer. He bad
been told by Townshend that be was hitaself a Ina erfal
mesmerist ; but I do not think he ever tested his power.
There was hardly a modern language of which be hail not
some knowledge—grammatical knowledge I mein. So
far as speaking them went, although he would rattle off
unhesitatingly French, or German, or Itantn, or whatever
was called fur at the moment, his thoroughly British
tongue imbued them all with so much of the same accent,
that it was dittidult to know what the langitih.e was
meant for ; indeed, he used to tell a story of how an
Italian, after listening to one of his long speeches in his
purest Tuscan, apologized to him and said be did not un-
derstand English. Marryat ran away to sea at 12 years of
limited
so that at best his educAtion must have been very
JLigaz.s, for August.

THE POLICE COURT&

MARYLEBONK

Arthur Proems!, aged about fourteen, was charged with,
stealing a cash-box containing 10/. and some papers. The
prisoner was a page boy at RS, Marylebone-road, where
Mr. Dixon, an officer in the merchant service, was staying.
On the 17th of last month he missed the cash-box, the
money, and some valuable papers, such as his discharges
and characters, and also his certificates of competency.
The prisoner, who had absconded, was captured on the
previous day, and from what he said the cash-box contain-
ing the papers only was found behind a stove in an out-
house at the rear of the house.

King, iK D, said the prisoner bad formerly been in the
service of a surgeon-dentist, and from that place surgical
instruments had frequently been missed. Search was made
for them, but they could not be found. In his drawer was
found the publications of the "Exploits of Dick Terpin,"
" Adventures of the Road," "The Boy Pirate," and other
similar publications. Ile was discharged from his situa-
tion, and afterwards some of the missing property was
found secreted in different parts of the house. After that
be succeeded by some means in obtaining a situation in an
earl's family, and from that ho was discharged for some
offence.
Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner.

COURTS OF JUSTICE COMPENSATION
COURT.

(Before H. Scott Turner, High Bailiff et Westminster,
and a jury.)

HEAVY COMPENSATION CLAILL ETILLT V. nue ROYAL
COMMISSIONERS OP THE NEW LAW COURTS.

This was a compensation claim, exceeding 20,000 i., on
the part of Mr. Edward Robert Kelly, the publisher of
" Kelly's Directory," in Old Boawell-court, for the busi-
ness premises and loss by femoral. The case was appointed
for half-past 10 o'clock, and seemed to have created much
interest.

Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Horace Lloyd were for the
claimant. The Attorney-General, Mr. Day, mid Mr.
&Mahon appeared for the Roy.il Commissioners.
A special jury wee summoned, and only one person
attended, and, he took his seat in the box for more then
an hour, whilst the parties negotiated to settle the matter
for the property required for the New Palace of Justice.
At length,
Mr. Hawkins announced that the matter was settled,
and the solitary gentleman would give a verdict for
12,5001., if he felt himself competent to give it alone. (A
laugh.)
The juryman—Oh, yes, for twice the amount.
(Laughter.)
The common jurors demanded to be discharged, and the
High Bailiff thought they should be sworn to give a
verdict _ _

The suggestion was acted upon, and a verdict by consent
was recorded for 12,5001., and the jurymen received their
fee.

INDIA.

CALCUTTA, JULY 3.
The reports of the Famine Commissioners have
been published. They exonerate Sir Cecil Beadon
and the officers in the famine districts, from any
serious blame, and attribute the calamity to una-
voidable circumstances, to the peculiarities of the
administration in the lower provinces of Bengal,
and to the errors of some individual officers. The
report, reviewing all the circumstances, considers
that under no system could the famine have been
met by adequate measures of relief, and that much
suffering and mortality were inevitable.
Accounts from Orissa state that the distress is
increasing, and that large numbers of persons are
arriving at the relief centres.
The license tax as amended is being vigorously
levied. The Chamber of Commerce has addressed
a letter to the Viceroy, asserting the willingness of
the Indian public to pay reasonable imposts, and
recommending a succession duty, a tobacco duty,
and an equalisation and slight increase of the salt
tat.

The government has censured some officers
connected with the rumour of a rising at Meerut,
and instructed the telegraph authorities not to
transmit messages likely to create alarm without
referring to the chief military or civil officer at the
place of despatch.

EGYPTIAN COMMERCIAL AND TRADING
COMPANY (LIMITED).

An extraordinary general meeting was held at
the London Tavern yesterday to confirm the resolutions
at the extraordinary general meeting on Bth March
MataiLdfirst, for empowering the council to purchase and extin-
guish not exceeding 13,813 of the new shares of the com-
pany issued in pursuance of the special resolutions of the
company passed on the 31st October, on which (after de-
ducting the sum of 2/. per Share ;eturned to the share-
holders in pursuance of the resolution of the 31st of
December, 1860 71. per share has been paid up ; such pur-
chase to be effected at the price of 3/. 10a. per share, pay-
able at such times and by such instalments as the council
shall think fit, but subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter expressed ; secondly, for approving and adopt-
ing the agreement of pith March, Der, between Messrs.
Ross, Saunders, and others, the holders of the
said new shares, and Mr. John Cater (a trustee for the
company), by which agreement such shales are made ex-
changeable on certain terms for original shares of the com-
pany ; and thirdly, authorising the council for the pur-
pose of carrying out the first resolution to invite
tenders from the shareholders for the sale and surren-
der to the company, for extinction, of the before-men-
tionedl3,Bl3 new shares at the price itated. A number of
other resolutions were included, but all of a formal
character.

Mr. LtaxiNG, the chairman, having moved the con-
firmatory motion, which was seconded by Mr. GHENFELL,
Mr. Itoiticiiitin opposed the confirmation, on the grounds
which he had explained at the former meeting, and read
an opinion he had obtained from Mr. Roxburgh, q.c., to
the effect that the proposed purchase and extinguishment
of sham was illegal and invalid, and might be stayed by
a bill in chsnoery, and advising the dissentient shareholders
formally to protest against the proceeding. He had done
so by letter, and he now did so verbally.
Mr. Knit; pointed out that the only part of the consti-
tution of a joint stock company that could not be altered
without • reconstitution of the company was the memo-
randum of association, and that memorandtun did not take
into account these 13,1113 shares, which bad been created
subsequently. There was no reason •hy they should alter
a decision which had been carried by a majority of 74 to
1. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN added that bad Mr. Borkhcim's views
been acted upon the question now would have been, not
whether they should distribute this capital among the
shareholders, but whether a call should be made. (Hear.)
Mr. GoiwitEr gave credit to Mr. liorkheim for having
greatly benefited the company.
The resolutions werecarried by 37 against 10, hut as they
were not unanimously confining, a formal poll was
taken, but without altering the result.

appointed Thursday, April 18, for receiving another depu-
tation from the same association. We understand the im-
mediate object of the association is to induce the directors
of each company to take such measures as may be neces-
sary to abandon all the projected extensions in the West
of England now before parliament, excepting the short
' connecting link between Okehampton and Lidford, which
the association is of opinion may be fairly demanded for
national purposes, as it will complete the inland route, on
the narrow gauge, between the arsenals and dockyards,
and will cost only a small sum of money.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Mary .1,, Thrtr4( mot, 43, pleaded guilty to an indi,t.
meat charging her with wilful and corrupt perjury.
Mr. Streight said that this prosecution wu instituted
by direction of. the magistrates of Surrey. The prisoner
came forward as a witness to the character of a pence
who wu charged with felony, and she swore that she had
known this Iberian, and that she was living with her at a
time when she was actually in prison for another offence.
The prisoner was cautioned by the magistrates and
quested to be cantious in what she swore, but she per.
slated in her statement, and she appeared think that
she was not guilty of perjury because she had nut kissed
the book.

The Recorder made some inquiries about the prisoner,
and deferred passing sentence.
The Common Servant was engaged during the dap in
trying prisoner' for pestling counterfeit coin; the cues
were of the ordinary description.

THE CARE OE COLONEL NELSON AND LIEUTENANT
Contrary to the general anticipation, it appears that
the promoters of the prosecution against these gentleinea
do not intend to prepare the indictments against them
themselves, but have given instructions to the officers of
the Central Criminal Court to do so. The indictments
will be in the usual form, and will merely charge the de-
fendanta with the wilful murder of Mr. Gordon, 4
Jamaica, within the dominions of her Majesty, and there
will be a second count alleging that the defendants were
apprehended within the jurisdiction of the Crum!
Criminal Court.
