THE DUKE OF BRABANT.

The Brussels correspondent of the Arenir
National writes :

The reports as to the health of the Prince Royal are
more and more alarming. After a temporary change for
the better he has become worse than ever. Dropsy of the
heart has exhibited itself in a form which leaves
Little hope of cure. His mother returned from Spa
yesterday evening in all haste, and in spite of the en-
treaties of her physicians. She had not seen her eon for
some time previously, and the interview b'tween them
was moat affecting. The health of the Queen is by no
means strong, and it is feared that grief for her son may
have • further prejudicial effect upon it. The King
has written to his brother, the Count do Flandre, who is
travelling with his wife in Bohemia, begging of him to re-
turn to Belgium. In the event of the Duke of Brabant's
death, the Count de Flandre would become presumptive
heir to the Belgium crown. The count has been married
two years and has no child.

PARIS, Amon 1.5.

M. Magne, the Minister of Finance, has ad-
dressed a report to the Emperor touching the
success of the loan just issued. The report
states the number of subscribers to the
loan at 781,292, and the aggregate of
their subscriptions at 660 millions of rente, being
equal to a capital of 13 milliards francs, or little
short of 34 times the amount called for. The
subscriptions received at Paris and in the depart-
ments, being not subject to reduction, amount to
3,141,170 francs rente. The monies deposited to
ensure an allotment exceed the sum of GOO mil-
lion francs.

The Moniteur of to-day publishes a list of per-
sons who have been decorated on the occasion of
the fetes Napoleon. Amongst those are M.
Schneider, President of the Corps Legislatif, and
M. Forcade de la Rouquette, who have received
the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, and M.
Pinard, who is appointed commander. In giving
an account of the military review held yesterday
the same paper states that the crowd of
spectators joined the soldiers of the National
Guard in greeting the Emperor with enthusiastic
cheers. The latter has authorised Marshal Can-
robert to express to the troops his satisfaction at
their splendid appearance and discipline.

DR. PUSEY AND THE WESLEYAN
METHODISTS.

TEAT Dr. PIISEY should attempt a coalition
with the Wesleyan Methodists is an interesting
sign of the times. The bearings of Mr. OOLX-
RDMV 8 bill tend, according to the High Church
leader, to a contest between atheism or pantheism,
and the old creeds of the Church. We were under
the impression that the Bill was simply designed to
secure the best men, irrespective of religious creed,
for the highest instruction in the country, and to
make the Universities national institutions.
But, writes Dr. Pussy, " The body whose
" interests it would advance would be those
" whose indistinct belief is ever being precipitated
" downwards, who hardly know what they them-
" selves believe, and who, under the name of
" progress, are ever retrograding to the hopeless
" scepticism before our Lord came. It is true that
" this (although a diminishing party among
" our young men) does exist among us ; some
" have gone far further than this—to the denial
" of Christianity itself, of their own free agency,
" and of GOD. But they are of course in a false
" position in an University which has any test or
" any common faith at all. The effect of Mr.
" CoxErsinox's Bill would be to legitimise their
" position and acknowledge them among the
" teachers of our Christian youth." The result
of this will be, Dr. PUBEY thinks, to drive our
future clergy to seek their education in France;
and to obviate this he counsels the Wesleyan

Methodists to advocate with him one of two
things—first, to insist upon " an aelmowledg-
" meat of the faith according to the Nioeue

SOUTHWARK.

Samuel Roberta, connected with a gang of thieves in-
festing the Borough, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Partridge, for final examination, charged with assaulting
George -William Jones, and robbing him of a watch and
chain. _ _ _

It appeared from the evidenoe of the prosecutor that on
Monday night, a little after ten o'clock, he left the Lon-
don-bridge station with his wife and nephew, and was
proceeding with the two latter to the Waterloo station. On
-crossing the road the prisoner and two other young fel-
lows came up to then, and the former complained of hie
toes being trod on. Witness went up to see what was the
matter, when he was knocked down, and kicked on the
face? and while attempting to get up the prisoner snatched
at his watch and chain, and tore them from his waistcoat.
Witness recovered his strength, and, seizing hold of the
prisoner with one hand, he got pouewiou of his watch
and chain, when they had a fearful struggle. Fortunately
at that time a constable came up, and the prisoner ran
away. Witness and the countable followed him, and he
was eventually secured.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that he was
crossing the road, when the lady trod on his toes, and he
asked her what she wee about. At that time her husband
came up, aud 'Aid ht. had tried to rob biza. He Inver did
anything of the kind.
Mr. Partridge full; Committed him for trial.

SPORTING NOTES.

TUE Etude HANDIOAP.—The " prophets " do
not appear to difter, to any considerable extent, as to the
probable winner of the Ebor Handicap at York., on
Thursday next. Brlta Life anticipates the success of Mr.
T. Dawson's " best," Tibouret or Mandrake, next to
which Thu Spy is the most likely to carry away tho honour.
The Firld, • Augur" of the Sporting Lofe, and
"Beacon " of the Sporting Gazette, are of the
same opinion. " Touchstone," of the Bra,
is in favour of Taraban or Tabouret, while " Wizard"
and "Vigilant," of the Sportsman, look for the winner in
The Spy, Tabouret and 'Anshan being placed second and
third by "the Wizard."

The brand National Hunt Meeting will, says the Sport-
ing Gmette, be held at Wetherby again, next year, and
not in Cheshire, as was generally expected. The latter
county certainly possesses great claims to a visit from an
institution ostensibly established for the improvement of
the breed of hunters, whose meetings were to be
migratory.
Aomnr..vr TO Ma. A. YATES.—This celebrated gentleman
rider met with an accident while riding Contraband in a
steeple-chase at Boulogne on Thursday. The horse threw
Mr. Yates heavily at the Irish bank, breaking his collar
bone. With his well-known pluck, however, he re-
mounted, and actually rode a splendid race to the finish,
some two miles, coming in third, a position which would
probably have been improved had he been able to use his
whip. As might be expected, this display of pluck and
determination produ a great effect on our excitable
neighbours. Mr. Yates, it will be remembered, was the
hero of the Croydon Cup race in 1866, when Harold, hay-
ing thrown his rider at the "sensational" jump, was
"collared" by the tail, re-mounted, and actually ridden
home the winner by the gallant gentleman, amidst the
uproarious shouts of the whole company.—Sportionao.
Tins YOUKEHLIRM AND NXIDILDOUBING 1100/18.—A cor-
respondent of the Field, writing from Penistono on
Thursday evening, says :—" Notwithstanding the great
disaster and the wholesale destruction of grouse which
took place by fire on the Redmires, Bradfield, and other
moors, the season was opened as usual on the 12th of
August. The devastation has not been equalled in extent
since the month of July, 1826, when the majority of the
moors in the West Riding were in conflagration. Up to
Tuesday many sportsmen doubted the wisdom of shooting,
the heather and peat being everywhere in such a dry state as
to be liable to take fire; but at an early hour in the morn-
ing their fears were set at rest by a heavy thunderstorm,
which was followed by rain during meet of the day. The
ts are favourable, except on those moors where the
prospects
devouring.sec element has been at work. Birds everywhere
are reported as pretty numerous and in fine condition.
The opening day was a very favourable one, but the birds
seemed to defy all the efforts of the sportsmen to get near
them, being so strong on the wing as to rise in large
numbers and evade the shots.

OUR PARIS LETTER.

(nox ova OWN

PARIS, FRIDAY Evainvo.

The review, which was doubtful up to the last
moment, has come off, and so far As I can learn
without any particular incident. It is remarked
that it was only announced in the Moniteur of this
morning, and that under the date of August 14
the official journal says, " The Emperor will pass
in review, ikc., to-morrow." This mistake is a
confirmation of the rumours that differences
of opinion on the subject existed up to
the very last moment, and quite accounts
for the repeated assertions of several evening
papers that it had been countermanded. The day
was extremely fine and not oppressively hot.
The mile en seine was precisely a repetition of the
review, without manoeuvres, which the Sultan
saw last year. The only difference is that the
National Guard was on the ground—and here it
is necessary to remind readers that the National
Guard now is only such in name, just as the
Municipal Council of Paris is a nominal
title, which does not describe what it
really is. The National Guard might more pro-
perly be called the imperial militia. The men are
all chosen from people known, or at least supposed
to be, staunch imperialists, and the officers, instead
of being elected, are chosen by the Emperor. It
was, therefore, d priori most unlikely that such a
National Guard would have made (as it was re-
ported they would make) a demonstration in
favour of peace, or, indeed, any demon-
stration at all that was not ordered.
As far as I can learn they were altogether unde-
monstrative. The regular troops of course cried,
" Five l'Empereur !"
The Emperor has gone back to Fontainebleau,
and will not, I am informed, return for his fete.

PARIS, Fn. It, Eviwnoo.

In today's sitting of the Legislativi, Body the
discussion of the Bill on the Press was continued.
M. Rouher said that the prohibition against pub-
lishing any other but official reports of the debates
would
in the Member', did not imply the prohibition of
the right of discussing the debates. The Senate
had left it to the courts of law to fix the limits of
that right. The Legislative Body could not Ex
how far that limit extended. It would be as-
suming to itself unconstitutional powers which
would give rise to a mansion of pre-.
mat's*. If the government thought it advia-
ible to introduce a constitutional modification, it,
would anbmit the question to the consideration of
§§afee. M. Guaroult replied that the pro-
4sasers of the ansindasent estnthrtifihirser it a VP
government would promise to bring the question
before the Senate, otherwise the point must be de-
Sided by the Legislative Body itself, so that no
doubt should remain on the subject. MM. Thieve
and Itouher respectively addressed the Chamber.
The amendment was then put the vote,
and rejected by 165 votes against GG.
M. Darimon's amendment to the effect that a dis-
tention by the papers of the debates in the Legis-
lative Body should be allowed on condition of its
being accompanied by the official report, was
rejected by 129 votes against 62. The debate was
then adjourned till Monday.

THE CONDITION OP IRELAAD.

Mr. Golderin Smith addresses the Daily News
at considerable length on the subjeet of Irish affairs. With
respect to the Irish church, he contends that it "must
go." He thinks that there will be no difficulty in
disposing of its revenues, for the endowment of
religious opinions is, at least for all liberal',
a thing of the past. As to the land question,
tenant right, to put it plainly, is illusion or confiscation.
It is true that in a case of extremity confiscation may be
justifiable and. neoesaary, but then the extremity mast be
proved ; 'and for the sake of morality, and to limit en
exceptional measure to the need, confiscation should
be called confiscation, not tenant right. The hisiery of
Irish lead is a history of confiscation, and this, together
with the circumstance that proprietorship in common wee
the law of the Irish, ea it has been of all clans, explains
and excuses the want of respect shown by the Irish far
pievarty in land, and the agrarian aims to which the
Is powentry are prone. But when all is done in the
ray of land legislation the hots cannot be overlooked that
the climate of the island, except in the east,
and when the bills arrest the march of the
Atlantic clouds, is adverse to the growth of oorn,
and that this being the come, there is at present
• surplus !population. Mr. Goldwin Smith, however,

OUR PARIS LETTER.

IDIOM ODZ Owl

PARIS, SturDay EVEMIG.
• An Edinburgh playeician, with the curioisly;
appropriate name of Allahorn, has jest been badly
cast in an action against the Compagnie Immo.
bilibre as proprietors of the Grand Hotel du
Louvre. In July, 1866, Dr. althorn was staying
at this hotel, when a letter came addressed to hire
which he alleges summlned him to London on
business of very great importance. The letter,
owing to some mistake on the part of the servants
of the hotel, was put in a wrong box and not duly
delivered. A few days later, Dr. Althorn re.
oeived • telegram referring to the letter,
and expressing astonishment that he had
not kept the appointment in London. Then only,
in consequence of inquiries, the letter ICU found.
Dr. Althorn's correspondent had by that time left
London for Venice, and thither the doctor pro-
ceeded to find him. Unfortunately he got to Italy
just about the time of the battles of Lissa and Cus.
tozza, and he was arrested and detained in custody
for some time on suspicion of being an Austrian
spy. He brought his action to recover 7,500 fr, da.
mages from the proprietors of the hotel for the fee.
judice caused to him for tho non-delivery of the letter.
In computing his claim he charged for his travelling
expenses to Venice, 60fr. a dayfor his forced sojourn.
in Paris, and 5,000 fr. for the loss of practice as a
physician during his absence from Edinburgh,
The court held it not proven that he had suffered
damage on any one of these heads, and did not
think it made out that .thera was any neee.dty for
1 his going to Venice. Accordingly the ductois
action was dismissed with costs.

The police made a descent the night before lam
on the abandoned quarries of La Villette, and
arrested ten vagrants, just as they were feuting
on a monster harlequin, or stew, composed of
fragments of victuals of all kinds ; each had
brought his quota of fah, poultry, meat, vegetables,
etc., all of which had been cooked to,,,,ether in an
immense earthen pot, around which they were all
squatting down. They appeared to feel keenly the
aggravation of their misfortune in being inter.
rupted just at the commencement of their repast,
and the more so that a request for the police to
wait a little until they bad finished could not he
acceded to. During the two preceding nights :U.
other individuals, without homes or any avowable
means of existence, were also removed to ',ham
from the same haunt.

A man committed suicide the evening be!ore last
by throwing himself into the Seine from the l'on:
de la Concorde. Ho had left on the let pave-
ment a small parcel containing a blouse. cap, and
neckkerchief, with a note bearin,: thm
words :—" My name is N—, I lire in the Rue
de Grenelle St. Germain." The smee day a seam-
stress named Marie V—, aged IS. jumi,ed into
the river from the Quai de l'Ecole : she n as, how-
ever, rescued by some watermen. X dliappi.int-
rnent in love was the motive fur this a:toupt. un

CIVIL SERVICE GRANTS.

An official statement was published this morn-
ing of the sums required to be voted in order to make good
excesses on certain grants for civil envices,for the year ended
31st March, 1867. The total sum amounts to 79,8291.25. 7d.
Amongst these items we find that there was an mem on
the item " printing and stationery," of 16,831 k 2s. Bd., '
which is attributed in a peat measure to the large ex-
penditure for parliamentary printing in 1866-7. On ac-
count of Irish law charges there is an exam of 9,2831.
10s. 4d., accounted for by the proceedings for the repres-
sion of the Fenian agitation. For the maintenance of
prisoners, the actual expenditure exceeded the estimate
to the amount of 17,774/. 135., and is ocessioned partly by
the growth of the system of reformatory and In.
due trial schools, and partly by the increased cost of main-

taming pnsoners in county geols. For " special
missions" the sum required in excess of the esti•
mates is 10,224/. 17a. 5d., and is chiefly due to the ez•
penes of Mr. Baseam's mission to Abyssinia, and of
investing the Kings of Belgium, Portugal, and Denmark,
and the Grand Duke of Hesse, with the Order of the
Garter. The sum of 16,9421. 17s. 7d. is required on
account of the relief of distressed British seamen.

Mayor of Leeds, had m nines, escape from demintetlen by

THE DESTRUCTION OP PORTMAN NAKKEr.

LATEST PARTICULARS.-(THIS DAY.)

It is almost impossible to describe the misery
that nearly 100 of the unfortunate inmates of the many
shops that have been destroyed by the fire which occurred
yesterday morning in Portman-market have been plunged
into. In many cases the poorpeople havelest every thing they
Some were fortunate enough to obtain shelter
mrbritight in the neighbouring public-houses, but the
numbers of the hoieeless being so large, accommodation
could not be found for the whole, and, as slut resource,
they were content to sleep in the market carts until
daybreak, the wind at the time blowing ball
a gale. Nearly half the sufferers were uninrured, and
their loss will therefore be severely felt. There can be little
doubt the fire commences' in the boot and shoe ware-
houses of Mr. Robert Johnson, No. 2a in the market, and
then esughtthe adjoining premises, No. lz, belonging to Mr.
Bridges, ironmonger. From those two buildings the flames
were forced in various directions, until 20 of the buildings
were blazing away at one time, and large flakes of burning
wood were sent flying over and upon the roofs of the
houses in New Church-street, as well as on to the roof of
the Marylebone Theatre. At onetime it wee feared that the
theatre would also have been destroyed, bus several
land steam engines were set to work, and they and
the brigade were enabled by attacking the fire at each
point to stop its further progress, and tLereby many
houses in front were saved, as well as the theatre. The
twenty shops and dwellings were, however, destroyed
before the fire was extinguished.

T 1 OILLOLOTILII OF TUN NWW U 0 OF 01:11000NIL

Observing that the present election is the first
under a new law, and that anxiety has been pro-
feeed lest the country should flad that It has
been inaugurating • mere democracy, the non
says that if them redly was any danger of the
new parliament being densocratie that danger was likely
to be aggravated by the question immediately before the
country. The diseetablidusent of the Irish church was •
sort of crucial tan, if indeed that disestablkihment
is the revolutionary measure It has been repre-
sented to be. Whatever elm its defects, the house
is amusedly no assemblage of democrats. Future
electrons may augment the liberal Imam as liberal
friends of the Church of Englaad discover the groundless-
ness of their panic ; but it hardly seems probable that
any question can be mooted for • long time to come on
which the liberal party will be tempted to choose more
uncompromisingly liberal representatives than on that of
the Irish Church. This pronounced disinclination in the
liberal party for extreme views Las led to the choice of
an exceptionally respectable and steady assembly.

I..'fD DISMINDIIIB.

Commenting upon the result of the contest for the
Eastern Division of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the
Daily Nem says it is curious that the Irish church esta-
blishment should find its champion in the Unitarian Mr.
Ficlden, and its assailant in the Wesleyan Mr. Holden.
Much as our contemporary regrets the result of this election,
it would have deplored it still more if a liberal seat had boon
won there as liberal seats have been lost at Westminster
and Thidgnorth, by appeals to religious intolerance.
The liberal party would have been untrue to itself
if it had attempted to reestablish those theological tests
and proscriptions which the law has abolished. But the
fact that Mr. Fielden supports, while Mr. Holden op-
pose", the Irish church establishment, affords another
illustration, to which it is worth while in passing to call
attention, of the utter fallacy of the cry that heresy,
scepticism, and infidelity are banded for the assault on
protrtant ascendancy in Ireland, and that religious or.
'bodes,' rallies to its defence. The question is social and
political; and men of every Greed and of none, protestant
and catholic, churchman and dissenter, Christian and sew,
believer and sceptic, are found in tho ranks of either
MAY.

The lost thinks that with • majority of a hundred at
his book, Mr. ()ketone should not find any insuperable
difficulty in pawing measures calculated to provide for the
safe end beneficial working of • system of government
which has undergone a change, but which is still suscep-
tible of improvement on its widened basis. At the head
of • liberal government he will only have to consult the
interests and footings of the country in order to Justify the
oonfldence which it has reposed in him.

EXTRACT OF MEAT.

The absurd rumour, current lately, that Extract
of Meat may be poisonous in large doses, is now
further contradicted by an authority even higher
than that of Professor Paitxxs, whose indirect re-
marks on the matter were alluded to in the
Express a few days ago.

Under the title of " ♦ Word of Warning for
Cooks," Once a Week recently drew attention to
some experiments in which rabbits ands dog were
induced to eat an amount of the popular " Extract
of Meat" equivalent to their own weight of fresh
animal food. The rabbits, though graminivorous,
ate the extract of half their weight of moat with-
out apparent ill effects, and no disturbance of
health resulted, but double the dose fairly poi-
soned the little creatures. The dog, a carnivorous
animal, was not killed by eating the essence of a
piece of beef as heavy as itself ; still the
death of the rabbits was considered ominous
by some people, who concluded that about
four pounds of extract of meet would kill a man,
and a less quantity produce harm only in a lesser
degree. The illogical character of this deduction
is pointed out by LIZIIIG in a communication to the
current number of The Lancet. The Baron
says that the poisonous effect of extract of
meat belongs to the category of cases where
people have e►ten pate de foie gnu, turtle
soup, or oysters to such excess as
to cause death ; but no sensible person
will over dream of ascribing, on that
ground, poisonous qualities to pelte de foie Bras,
turtle soup, or oysters. It is to be regretted that
the originator of the experiments associated the
word "poison" with his deeeription of the results
to be obtained, especially as ho evidently did not
wish to create alarm, for in one part of his essay
occurs the following sentenoe, " If, howe►er, it
" be necessary to preserve the exhausted body
" from protracted illness, they there is no other

THE ZESCLT or 211111 ilsorroxs.

Our great electoral battle, remarks the Telegraph, is as
good as over, and the result is a practical and parliament-
ary triumph more complete than the most sanguine
propheta upon the liberal side ventured to predict. Mr.
Gladstone will go back to Westminster with a majority of
more than eve score votes behind him, and the New Year
will open with • new ministry, a new policy, and an en-
tirely new era of English history.
The Herald calculates that the conservatives will muster
about 280 strong, and Mr. Gladstone, instead of the ma-
jority of 130 his organs promised him • few day' ago,
will have one of ander 100, or about ten larger than that
which be nominally possessed when he first assumed the
leadership of the House of Commons in February, 1866.
The practical result of the appeal to the country is that,
so far as numbers are concerned, the two parties remain
much as they were. The liberals have gained • few seats
on the balance, and to that extent increased a majority
which, ou uuo sieseuuptiou of its union and earnestness,
was quite large enough before. This is a gain, doubt-
less, and the Strad does not contest their right to crow
over it.

are thus in a majority of 114. Only seven seats
now remain to be filled, via, two in Mid-

Universities, and one for the far distant consti-
tuency of Orkney and Shetland, where the polling
