THE LATE MR. JERROLD.

TO TIM NOITOR O► TNt slimiest'.
23rn,—Yon were so kind as to give publicity to a
letter we addreemed to you on the terminaLon of our taboos,
"in remembrance of tha late Mr. Jerrold," making known
their remit.

Mr. Jerrold's eldost son thereupon gave to a letter of his
own what publicity he could obtain for it, making his own
repro station of his late father's affairs.
We know OUT forbearing and delicate reference to them
(forced upon us by exaggerations with which we had been
repeatedly met, and which the son had never contradicted)
to be perfectly accurate, and we knew his account of them to
be highly incorrect. We ass extremely sorry to be obliged to
produce the proof of this ; but It is necessary to the clear-
acre of our own good faith and that of the ge.mUomen ammo-
ciated with us.

We have before no, under date the 2nd of this meant
month, a letter from the solicitor to the late Mr. Jennies
estate (a gentleman well known to his profession, Mr.
Mius; of the Old Jewry), In which, after mentioning that
there is a life assurance of a thousand panda, which is Mrn
'mold's absolutely, and which the estate cannot claim, bs
informs the correspondent to whom his communication Is
addressed, "that he cannot understand Mr. Blanchard Jer-
rold's reason for writing this unfortunate letter;" that he
thinks "he and his funnily ought to be set right on the
matter:' and that it a certain claim be urged el which be
has received the particulare, "the facts and figure' show
that the 'Mate will be absolutely inaolrenb"
We quote this letter with Se writer's permiesion, end w
have now done with the subject for ever.—We are, te.,

LATEST INTELLIGENCL;

CHINA.

'Op Pays has received a correipondenes from
China to August 11. At that date no answer had
' been received to the demand made by the French
Chargé d'Affaires, M. de Baurboulon, through the
Viceroy of Canton, to the government of the Celes-
tial Empire. This document, it is said, demanded
satisfaction for divers breaches of conventions, and
especially for the murder of the French missionary,
the Abbe Chapdeleino, who wee put to death in
contempt of the stipulations of the treaty of
Whampoa. Lord Elgin wu expected at Hong
Kong, from Calcutta, about the end of Aar-4.
It wu also; thought that Baron Oros would
be in China by the same time, and that then, in
a conference between the admirals and am-
bassadors extraordinary of the two nations, a
course of action in common might be resolved upon.
On August 11 the corvette Capricieuse and the 11•60
Marceau were at Ningpo ; the admiral'. frigate
Nemesis, the steam corvette; Primauget and Phlege-
ton, the transport La Meurthe, and the first-class
gunboat La Mitraille, were at anchor at Thong
Koo ; the first-clue gunboats Avalanche and Fuake
were at Hong Kong, and the aviso Catinat, and the
first-clue gunboat Dragonne, at Macao.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MO: OUR OWN CORHILOPONDINT.)

PARIS, TUESDAY EVINIXO.

No certain confirmation of the fall of the Nervaer
ministry has been received in Paris. The Pays,
which alone gave the news last night, is to-day silent
on the subject. The other journals repeat the Pays'
statement without throwing doubt upon it. It is
remarkable, however, that a Madrid despatch dated
yesterday, the bth, does not say a word of the
resignation of minister.. But the Prase ob-
serves, Very justly, that for a long time
past the Madrid telegraph has transmitted
netting but trivial news, although it is cer-
tain that a crisis has been going on for the
last six weeks. Assamizig the news to be tree, it is
certain that Nervier falls most ingloriously. He
is not ousted from power after a parliaments!), b.lt-
tle, which is the natural end of a constitutional
minister, but he goes out, nobody knows why, after
a series of miserable back stair intrigues. It wr s
taken for granted by Spanish politicians, that when-
ever Narvaez resigned, ho would be succeeded by
Necedal, a man still more re-actionary thanliimself ;
but according to the Presse, which has received
letters of Oct. 2, Nocedal has no chance. General
de la Rocha, a man of small note, is talked of, and
the names of O'Donnell and Bravo Murillo are put
forward, but all seem very uncertain.
I have reason to believe that Count Walewski,
shortly after his return to Paris on October 2, did
send a circular to foreign courts relative to the in-
terview of Stuttgardt. You are are aware that
doubts have been expressed in the Continental
journals whether this mode of promulgating the re-
sult of the meeting would be taken, or whether the
public would be addressed by a note in the Moniteur
or an article in the Conetitationnel.

The young Prince Joachim Murat has arrived at
Paris from Berlin, loaded with compliments and a
decoration.

The Bourse has been much less animated, and at
the close it was much depressed. The rise of discount
in Germany, and the apprehension of ► rise in Lon-
don, joined to the weakness of Consols, produced a
considerable effect. The Rente fell 20e. for cub,
and 30c. for account, closing at 68fr. 6c. and
6sfr. 26c. Mobilier fell 17fr. 50c. Railways de-
clined considetably. Orleans fell 27fr. 60e.; North-
ern, Eastern, and Lyons, life 60c. each; Southern,
10fr. ; Western, 7fr. 60c.; and Grand Central,
lir. 25e.

An extremely ridiculous custom,' regulation
touching foreign carriages has just received a
modification in a liberal sense. By law, carriage.
on springs are prohibited from being imported into
France. But travellers were allowed to bring their
carriages with them, on condition of depositing one-
third of the value, and undertaking to send them
out of the country within three years. The trea-
sury only returned two-thirds of the deposit when
the carriage went away. It, has been found that
to avoid this heavy tax many English people take
the Dutch route to Italy and Switzerland, instead of
passing through France, and therefore the govern-
ment has decided to dispense with the deposit in the
ease of carriages not intended to remain in French
territory more than one month. How muck wiser
would it be to abolish the antiquated prohibition
altogether!
