:THE LAST DAIS 07 THE MANCHESTER

The requisition to keep open the Art Treasures
Exhibition for another week, mentioned in the /fryers
of yeatteday, has not found favour with the executive com-
mittee, and it is to be finally closed to-morrow. An offer
was code by some of the leading railway interests, soma
time hack, to purchase the building from the executive com-
mittee, and re-open it next year es an Industrial Exhibition,
i filling t with machinery, works of set, and the products of
the industry of the country of all bads. It was thought
that such so exhibition would be better sppreciated by the
mares, and would be much more popular than the present
one. There I. no doubt that the railways would have great
power in rendering such a speculation successful. Many of the
railway officials have complained °thawing been met in a narrow
spirit by the executive committee, whereby their attempts to
bring great numbers to tbe present Exhibition has been to some
extent rendered abortive. Whether there to much justice in
these complaints the public have no means et premed of
forming a correct opinion. The proposition to keep open the
building another year bee, however, been probably set at
rest. Before this could be dons. it was necessary tc obtain
the consent of Sir Humphrey de Trafford, the owner of the
ground on which the Exhibition stands. This gentleman
directed his agent to round the tenantry who croupy build-
ings in the neighbourhood of the Art Treasures building, as
to whether such a proposition would be agreeable to them.
The following is • copy
Trafford-park, Oct. 12.
Dear Sir,—An application has been made to Sir Humphrey
de Trafford for the continuance of the Exhibition, at Old
Trafford, as an industrial one, for twelve months longer,
and before giving • reply, he is desirous of obtaining the
opinion of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood upon the
subject, and will thank you to take such steps as you may
deem necamory br that purpose, and favour me with so
anawer.—l am, dear air, years truly, TKO. Man.
Oseege Falimer, Esq., Old Trafford.
A meeting of these parties was held on Wednesday night.
The attendance at this meeting was limited, but the opinion
=sinotigst them was that ths continuance of the
for this purpose would be a nuisance, thereby cast-
ing • reflection indirectly as the present exhibition.
The resolution agreed to was as follows i—" That the con-
tinuance of an exhibition in the building now occupied by
the Art Treasures Exhibition will be objectionable to the in-
habitants of Old Trafford at this mooting esessubled."
This resolution was named by • large majority.
It is, therefore, probable that Sir Eampbey de Tabbed
will not KOOPIK to the propositivo.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(VRO Orlt OWN

PARIS, THURSDAY SYMMS.

The Bourse opened rather flat, and speculators
felt some hesitation in operating, owing to several
important failures in Germany and England. The
downward tendency was, however, checked by a
slight rally of on the Comets, and by a telegraphic
despatch, dated London, half-put one, announcing
that the Beard of Directors of the Bank of England
had separated without adopting any fresh restrictive
measure. In the afternoon, however, all descrip-
tions of securities became very heavy. The Bente
fell 15c. for cash, and 30c. for account, closing at
Mfr. 75e. and (30fr. 85c. Mobilier fell 30fr. Rail-
ways were from sfr. to 10fr. lower.
The Muniteur publishes the official return of the
amount of the receipt of the taxes and indirect
revenue for the nine expired months of 1867 as com-
pared with the corresponding period of 1858. The
amount of the former period was 781,083,000 fr.,
being an increase of 20,885,000 fr. on the latter. As
compared with the first nine months of 1835, the
receipts of the present year show an increase of
81,294,000 fr.
The following political 'peculation' are indulged
in by a Paris correspondent of the Nord of Brussels:
—" All the preparations have been made for the
removal of the court to the chateau of Compiegne,
and the invitations will be issued between this and
the end of the week. It is thought that important nego-
tiations will take place at Compiegne in order to ena-
ble the congress of Paris to terminate its labours. The
second plenipotentiaries expect to be convoked after
the return et the court from Compiegne, that is to
say, about the latter end of November. The period
for their meeting cannot, however, be fixed until
after the vote of the divans ad hoc, the arrival of
the report of the European commission, and the re-
, ceipt of their special instructions from their respee-
tire courts; a delay of six weeks will not be too
long for all these preliminaries."

of Mary Ann, &pat, in the service of Mrs. T. Omen-
way, Cawnpore, who was a witness of the fearful
crimes enacted there. The ayah, after describ
the extremities to which the garrison was reduced,
thus narrates the surrender:

Mrs. Jacobi, who had fallen into Nana Sahib's hands, was
sent into camp with a letter to General Wheeler. The mis-
took of thin letter were : It is far better kw you who are
alive to go at once to Allahabad, unless you wish to continue
fighting; if so, you can do so. Let Cawnpore la given up,

THE MADRAS ARMY.

(From the Madras Atheneum.)
The military news of the fortnight shows that
steps are abrat to be, and in some cams have been, taken in
tho right direction. The batteries of Horse
Artillery at
Madras are to have European and East Indian drivers in-
stead of native-a decided change for the better, as the latter
when in action have an unpleasant habit of ' away.
The eight Madras Rifle Companies of the lit, 16th,
24th, 26th. 36th, 38th, and 49th Regiments of Native In-
fantry are to be formed into one regiment, and despatched to
Bengal for malice. This is an excellent move, and shows
the advantage of having kept instead of disbanding them, as
was policed by government in 1830. To Colonel Conway,
the then adjutant-general, we are now indebted for the reten-
tion of this moat eftket and valuable arm of the Madtas
army.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.

The Medway ham arrived with the South Ameri-
can Mails. her dates are—Buena Ayres, Sept!l ;
Rio, 15; Lisbon, Oct. 11. Amongst her cargo aro

diamonds worth 20,0001., and gold worth 1,2901.
From Buenos Ayres we learn the wool crop will
be quite equal to that of former seasons. The
wholesale slaughter of horned beasts has caused this
year'. stock to fall short. The Argentine provinces
are in a sad state. A Buenos Ayrean merchant
holds the custom house at Itisario in mortgage.
The Argentine government will be obliged to appear

landed in the Argentine provinces in a deplorable
condition. All the premiers made by Urquisa to
nduce French immigration have been broken.
In Paraguay trade is bad. The Brazilian go-

vernment are trying to induce Lopez to open up the
River fonts. The American government are about
to urge their claims on tbs Hopkins South American
Company. Tobacco has fallen in price.
From Rio we learn that the anniversary of Brawl-
lian independence has passed off well. Some slaves
were emancipated in honour of the occasion. Lord
Ernest Vane Tempest is at Rio ineog.
The coffee market is active. The great falling off
in the crops is beginning to be felt.
Exchange on London, 24. The market is firm.
The discount market is tight.
From Lisbon we learn that the epidemic still
rages there. Business is paralysed. The custom-
house and lower part of Lisbon are strongly guarded.
The populace are dissatisfied with the measures of
the government relative to the epidemic. An out-
break is anticipated; robberies have already com-

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Ft.. 2R.
The contest in Tipperary promises to be a despe-
rate one, although now confined to the two sections of the
popular party ; Mr. Waldron representing the moderate and
more mature opinions, while the 0' Donoghue is put forward
by the extreme liberal, or Young Ireland party. The
balance of energy is evidently on the side of the latter; and
circumstances seem to be, so far, decidedly in their favour.
The Roman catholic clergy, at their meeting on Thursday,
decided that they would pronounce no opinion on the rela-
tive merits of the candidates, lest they might appear to dic-
tate to the electors ; but it was well known that while the
pariah priests were nearly all for Waldron, the curates were
almost to a man for his more energetic antagonist. The selec-
tion has been referred to the county meeting, which will be
held on Tuesday next. As it is almost certain that the
O'Donoghures supporters will be in a large majority there,
the friends of Mr. Waldron announce that they will not be
bound by the decteion, but are resolved to go to the poll. If
co
Mr. Wahou have the support of the conservative and had-
lord party, it is just possible that it may turn the scale in his
favour.

SWEDEN AND NORWAY.

A letter from Stockholm of the 19th, in the Cow
stilutionnel, says All the accounts which reach
us from the small ports at the bottom of tho Gulf
of Finland and the northern frontiers, draw a sad
picture of the misery which prevails among the
unfortunate inhabitants of Lapland and Finmark,
bordering the North Cape of Norway. Their crops
of rye and barley completely failed, in consequence
of the continuance of wet weather. All their hay
rotted in the fields from the same cause, and almost all
their cattle were slaughtered, from the inhabitants
not having forage to support them. Hundreds of
persons are dying daily of starvation, and those
whose physical strength enables them to contend
egoism their privations are compelled to live on the
bark et trees ground and cooked with oats. In order
to alleviate these sufferings, charitable committees
have bees organised on the opposite coasts of the
Gulf of Bothnia, to collect contributions in kind,
such ss corn, flour, vegetables, and spirits, which
will be conveyed to them across the ice in sledges.
As an addition to the suffering of these poor crea-
tures, the cold is of a severity rarely experienced
even in these ice-bound countries."

about the expediency of augmenting the capital of
the Bank of France, to refer to the opinion which
Napoleon I. expressed upon that matter in 1810,
publishes a note which, on the 29th of May in that
year, was addressed to the Bank of France, by order
of the Emperor, from Havre, through Count
Mollie'', then Finance Minister. This note states
that the capital of the bank had been fixed by the
latest law, that of 1808, at 90 millions of francs. It
was not designed that this capital should be em-
ployed in discounting operations, the bank having
the privilege of creating a special money for that
me, by issuing its notes. The formation of the capital
is a preliminary act, distinct from and independent
of the discounting operations of the bank, just as
the deposit of a certain caution money, in the case
of an agent from whom security is required, is
distinct from the discharge of his allotted functions.
The founders of the Bank are subjected to the con-
dition of supplying a certain capital, only as a
pledge and a guano tee to secure the holders of its
bank-notes against a loss which they might other-
wise weer through any imprudent management of
the bank. A bank ought only to issue its notes in

FRIDAY EVIIIIIIIIII.

Throughout the Stock Exchange to-day, although
business was quiet, purchases preponderated, and a
moderate advance was established. The improve-
ment in the funds was about 3-16 per cent. ; and in
most descriptions of English railway stock to j per
cent. The upward tendency is chiefly attributable
to an impression that another reduction of j per
cent. in the bank rate of discount will soon take
place. The principal check to speculative purchases
rests with the uncertain state of affairs in India.

PIEDMONT.

(1,11011 Ova SPICIAL COPAISPOWDMPT.)
TURIN, Mar 6.
As soon as the Erfress of May 1, containing
the account of the meeting at Glasgow, of which the
Lord l'rovost was chairman, came to hand, I took
measures to have it brought under the notice
of the leading members of the Chamber of De-
puties. The result I have already. intimated to
you by a telegraphic despatch, in order that
the gentlemen who took a part in that meeting
might be made aware of the great effect such sym-
pathy produced here, in the only constitutional king-
dom in this part of the world. Nothing has pleased me
more than the manner in which the leading men here
view this demonstration at Glasgow. They are all well
aware of the ticklish position in which they stand as
regards the despotic powers of the continent; and
they have but too good reason to fear that the
British ministry is not only lukewarm in supporting
constitutional government, but actually in favour of
Austria. Of course it is no secret to any ono that
Lord Clarendon in particular has backed out of
the expressions he used in favour of Italy, at the
Congress of Paris; and that in this he has the
countenance of Lord Palmerston. Lord Clarendon
has acted as if he was a person of no convictions.
I mean to say ho has shown himself to be a
minister who agrees or disagrees according as the
circumstances of the day turn up; and such is his
character over all Italy. Hence it comes that this
meeting has given great pleasure to the people here,
as it is a demonstration to the Piedmontese of
the just feelings and sympathy of the British people
for a liberal government and a free press. I wish I
could impress upon the British public that the only
way in which war and bloodshed can be prevented
in Italy is to continue demonstrations similar to
that which has been made at Glasgow, for freeing
Italy from foreign bayonets. Austria dare not go
to war against Piedmont, for she knows Hungary
ready to rise ; and that one moment of actual warfare
would make her tumble to pieces. Louis Napoleon
cannot move against liberty abroad, because a move-
ment at home would at once crush him. By what
European treaty are Austrian and French troops
allowed to remain in the Papal dominions ? Let
Mr. Buchanan ask in parliament if such a treaty
exists; and if the answer is in the affirmative, let
him call for its production.

ARRIVAL OF THE HEAVY PORTION OF
THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

(sr neer= TALIORATII.)

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY none.
The Etna has arrived with the Australian mails.
Amongst them is the mail of the Oneida.
The collective mail consists of nearly 400 boxes
and bags, the largest mail ever landed at this port.
They will be despatched to London at about 11 p.m.
to-night, in a special train consisting of five vans.
The Etna has 80 passengers and 28 packages of
gold, of the value of nearly 90,0001. sterling ; nearly
60,0001. of this gold was on board the Oneida.
Nearly 100 of the pamengers left the Etna at Malta,
to totgEngland via Marseilles.
the passengers landed at Southampton
from the Etna were Miss Graham, a sister of Sir
James Graham, from Malta; and Messrs. Childers
and Hansel, two of the members of the Legislative
Council of Victoria.
The passengers who left Australia in the European
are some of the richest men of the gold colony, and
many of them possess immense fortunes.
The Oneida broke down 800 miles from King
George's Sound, her role plate, which is the founda-
tion of the whole machinery, having given way.
Although she was only so short a distance—
tru2, three days' steam—from St. George's
it took her 17 days to get back, and she
reached the Sound one day after the Simla had
left. The weather was at the time very thick,
which prevented the people of the Simla from see-
ing her.
The charge for sending gold home overland is
considered by the colonists too high, and it is thought
that comparatively small quantities of gold will be
sent by that route.
The European, although a fast sailer, is considered
not adapted for crossing the ocean, as she is fitted
up for a cold climate.
The Sydney passengers who were taken from the
Oneida were 101 days from the time they left
Sydney until they reached Southampton. The
Australian passengers were detained three days in
Egypt, owing to the European arriving at Suer
three days before her time. The passengers have a
large number of nuggets in their possession. They
say that Sir Henry Barkly, the new governor of
Victoria, has given much satisfaction to the colonies,
and his lady has won golden opinions from all classes
of persons. Everything augurs well for the suc-
cessful governorship of Sir Henry.
The Etna reports that the British squadron was
cruising off Malta, and that she paned the Indus
steamer off Pantellaria on the 29th, bound for Alex-
andria. The Etna passed the steamer Tenerife off
°alibi on the 30th of April.

A letter trona St. Petersburg in the Boersenhalk

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sitting,' at Mai Prise at Westminster, sitar Easter Teem,
Ix tors Lord Campbell and Common Juries.)

CHAPMAN V. VAN TOLL.-.-AMION FOR ATTORNEVA
The plstotiff, an attorney carrying on business at Rich-
mond, brought this action against the defendant, a widow
lady, Tieing in the same place, to recover 27/., for money lent
and 44t, the amount of a bill of costs for professional
services.

Mr. lawkins and Mr. C. Pollock were for the plaintiff ;
and Mr. C. P. Doyle appeared for the defendant.
The defendant, It appeared, in 1852, lent a Captain Roberts,
of the Royal Marina, a sum of 10001. upon a bond. He
paid the interest for some time and also a small portion of
the principal, but he eventually discontinued to keep up hie
instalment a,and the defendant employed Mr. Chapman to bring
an action egaind him for the recovery of the amount due.
After the suit had progressed a stage, Captain Ro-
berts agreed to judgment being entered maul him, and it
was arranged between the parties that the ewe
should le referred to the Master to determine
what sum Mrs. Van Toll was entitled to, and the
Master derided that Captain Roberts was indebted
to the extent of 7001., with 311. for costa. Proceedings were
then taken to enforce the payment of those sums, when
Captain Roberts became a bannkrupt, and obtained a cer-
.

The defendant paid the 27/. into court, but as regarded
the other AUM, the defence wee that the plaintiff had entirely
mismanaged the suit, and by his dilatoriness had prevented
the defend sot meowing the moneydue to her by Capt. Roberts.
The alleged negligee:emanated principally in the plaintiff not
having availed himself of the claim in the Common Low
Prooedurc Act, whereby cases involving matters of account
' might bo decided by &judge at chambers.
Lord Campbell having summed up,
The jury found a verdict for the defendant.
Lord Campbell said be moat say be was sorry for Mr.
Chapman, but the verdict would have the effect of teaching
attornios that it was not only their duty Lut their interest to
avail themselves of a most salutary enactment, which enabled
matters of account to be administered without delay or
expense.
