ANNUAL CRIMINAL STATISTICS OP

MANCHESTSR.

Captain Palin, the chief constable of Manchester,
presented his annual sad interesting report to the Watch
Committee yesterday (secompauied by the usual elaborate
Uhler), showing the amount of crime within the city dur-
ing the year ending the 29th of Meptamber. The retdm is
one required by the 19th and 20th Victoria to be forwarded

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

Mawr-us:Pmts.—Tile elections here for town coun-
cillors, in pies of the third of that body retiring by rota-
ties. took place yesterday, end were of a more than usually
spirited and stirring character. The questions which have
been made the ground of opposition to retiring members are
sufficiently apparent by the inscriptions nu die rate which
were rushing through the streets all day, taking the bur-
gesses up to the poll. Thum inetziptrous are the election
cries around which the electors are supposed to rally, and
include the following :—" Murray and Economy," "Tyson
and chespgas," "Gresoludgh and reduction of the towu
clerk's salary," " Cotterill end no dictation," " Cotterill and
ermicany," ke. There are 15 wards in the rill, arid of
these there have been contests in Dice. The returns had
not been published up to the time our report loft, but there
is reason to believe that of the 16 retiring coned:Mors a
larp proportion have been re-elected.
Livsartan..—There were contests in seven wards
yesterday ; and in live liberals wereretureed, the coeserva-
tires gaining the election in two.
Sournstswrow.—The town councillors elected
at Southempion yesterday were all liberals ; and the remit

opposition.
Minnitunear. --Sixteen councillors went out by
10614/1011 : a few changes took place, but in not one of the

OXFOILD.—The municipal elections in this city

seller ; Mr. John Faulkner, woollen draper, and Mr. James
Clarke, tailor and robe maker, were the candidates. The

quence of ill-beelth. resigued. At the close of the poll

PORTUGAL

THE LISBON MASS FOR COUNT CAVOUR.
Our Lisbon correspondent writes :—On the 22nd
of October, at half-past nine a.m., the mass and
solemn office for the repose of the soul of the late
Count Carour took place in the Church of Santo
Antonio da Se.

On the façade of the temple, that is, above the
principal portal, was the legend in Portuguese,
" Pray for the soul of Count Cavour;" and on
either side were displayed the Portuguese and
Italian banners. All the other doors were hung
with black. Above the aide of the high
altar were suspended the French, English,
Brazilian and Swedish flags, and in the middle the
Portuguese and Italian. The doors of the church
were literally besieged by the public. There was a
crowd as early as 7 a. m. ; and when the doors were
opened many ladies were obliged to retire, not
finding seats. All the ministers, the Municipal
Chamber, fifty-three deputations from public asso-
ciations, the President of the Chamber of Peers,
the civil governor of Lisbon, many officers
of the army and navy, a large number of the
higher public servants, and other persons of dis-
tinction completely filled that part of the church
destined for their accommodation. More than
half of the church was crowded to overflowing by
the public. The orchestra, directed by &rubor
Cussoul, jun., was composed of more than forty
instrumentalists ; the music of the masa was
by Jomelli, and was brilliantly executed.
The artists who took part were Faschini, On*
ciardi, Della Costa, and Baragli, from the Royal
Opera-house of San Carlos, and they offered their
services gratuitously. The music of the Dies ills
Benedivitus, and other pieces, was composed ex-
pressly for the occasion by titenhor Cmson4 jun. A
funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Joni Castello-
Branco. This gave satisfaction to all the auditors.
The question of the mass for Count Cavour has
roused all the old animosities of the Miguelites
and Constitutionalists • the ceremony was entirely
prohibited by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon,
yet the popular party moved heaven and earth to
carry out their views. Finding that there was no
parish church at their orders, the committee pre-
vailed upon the Municipal Chamber of Lisbon to
place at their disposal the church of Santo Antonio,
which is private property, and there the long vexed
question of the mass for Cavour found a solution.
The reports respecting the results of the late
vintage are everywhere very favourable. The vine
disease, which has endured about eight years, ap-
pears at last to mitigate its virulence. There are
now prospects that Portuguese wines will resume
their place in the English market, both as regards
price and quality.

ROME.

ROME, Ocr. 28.

The marriage of the celebrated composer Lists
with the Princess Wittgenstein was to have come
oil on Tuesday. The event was looked forward to
with extraordinary interest, on account of the diffi-
culties which the parties have had to encounter.
It is well known that the Princess Wittgenstein has
been already married, and that her husband still
lira. The court of Rome had, however, declared
the first marriage void, and given the princess per-
mission to take another husband. All the prepara-
tions for the nuptial fete on Tuesday were made,
but just at the last moment, in consequence, as it
is supposed, of an anonymous denunciation, a fresh
impediment has been raised, and the promcssi sposi
have been prohibited from fulfilling their engage-
ment—at least until further order.

PROGRESS OF THE SCHISM.

The Japery states that Baron Ricaaeli daily re-
ceives, from all parts of Italy, letters from priests
declaring that they adhere to Father Passaglia's
opinions on the expediency of separating the spi-
ritual from the temporal power. The President of
the Council will not publish these letters at pre-
sent ; but when the proper time comes, the
fanatical defenders of the temporal power will be
dumbfounded at the spectacle of the immense pro-
gress of liberal doctrines among the members of
the Italian clergy.

In answer to ffir 0. BOIVTILM,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that a

several questions to Sir Rowland Hill. That gentleman
then labouring under severe indisposition, required a long
time for the necessary investigations, but `•d recently
presented his views in a minute. A supplementary state-
ment was expected from the committee, and when that had
been received the action of the government would com-

POOR LAW (IRELAND)

Mr. BLAKE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whe-
ther, in conformity with the promise made by him List year,
he would, at an early period, move for the appointment of •
select committee to consider and report on the changes de-
sirable to be made in the laws for the administration of re-
lief to the destitute poor in Ireland.
Mr. CARDWELL said he would place a notice for a com-
mittee on the table next week.
THE YEOMANRY.

Mr. WATLlNGliiitrasiel the I.l;gier•Secretary of State
for War whether the government intended to permit the
yeomanry cavalry to assemble this year for eight days per.
manent duty, and to grant the usual pay for that penod.
He said that the yeomanly' cavalry were greatly dissatisfied
at not having been recently called out.
Mr. T. G. BARING said that being a yeomanry officer
himself, he fully sympathised with the disappointment of
the venous corps. He was happy, however, to say that it
was the intention of her Majesty government this year to
call out the yeomanry cavalry for permanent duty.

Mr. BENTIiiiCIC asked when it was the intention of her
Majesty's government to lay on the table of the house the
miscellaneous estimates. The hon. member expressed his
belief that any hope of important reduction in the army or
navy estimates would be altogether illusory, bat there was
another class of estimates upon which reduction might be
tried, only that they were practically removed from under
the control of the house, being brought up at such a late
period of the session that their careful investigation was
=possible.
Lord PALMERSTON' understood that the miscellaneous
estimates were io coarse of preparation, and would be laid
on the table in a fortnight. The delays of the last two or
three years had arisen from circumstances which were
whoUy unavoidable. No doubt the miscellaneous estimates
deserved, and would receive, the most careful consideration,
but the house must bear in mind that some of the heaviest
charges were caused by the house having transferred to those
estimates sums which had hitherto been drawn from other
lIMLICOII.

BURTON AND ANOTHER T. HIDE& -ADTERTIADIG AGENCY.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are ad-
vertising agents in the City, against the defendant, a chemist
in Hungerford-street, Strand, to recover 245/. 9a. for work
done, and on an aocount stated. The defendant pleaded
never indebted, a set off, and that he bad satisAed the
amount before the action was brought.
Mr. Clark and Mr. Willoughby were counsel for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Crouch repre.enteil the defendant.
It appeared from the plaintiff's case that in the latter part
of 1869 the defendant, who is the manufacturer of Keen's
Pills, employed them to advertise in the morning and
weekly London newspapers, and also in some of the pre-
Timis] newspapers, which he did to the extent of about
sixty, when the defendant refused to pay him, alleging that
the arrangement was, that a paragraph should be inserted
with the advertisement. This was the defence now relied
on.

The jury found for the plaintiff, allowing the met-off, for

Mod oul OW

BEYROUT, Iris. 1.

Fuad Pacha came down from the Lebanon three
days ago, having done nothing whatever towards
forwarding the punishment of the Druses, although
he was furnished two months ago with lists of those
who took part in the massacres, and has two
thousand or more of them in custody.
The scheme of the new government in its outline
has, I understand, been approved of by the five
cabinets of Europe. Here it gives great satisfac-
tion to men of all climes, countries, and creeds.
Even the Moslems of Syria (not the Osmanli Turks)
profess themselves satisfied, as the future Governor-
General is to be of their creed. But fluid that I
was mistaken in two items of the details. The
Governor-General with his council is to have full
powers even of life and death, without any refer-
ence to the Porte, and the revenues of the pro-
vince are to be used for the province
alone ; no tribute whatever is to be paid to the
Porte. These are as they should be. The details
of the administration are to be settled by the
European commissioners of the five powers, so that
we may expect these will be placed on a proper
footing.
I have hitherto refrained from saying a word
about our English commissioner, Lord Dufferin,
but there can be no longer any need to keep silence
regarding one of whom all wen in Syria speak so
well. There can be no doubt that his lordship's
nomination to this somewhat thankless office has
proved to be of the very highest credit to our
Foreign-office. Of his ability, energy, and seal,
his thorough knowledge of Syria, and, above all,
his high integrity, all his colleagues speak in the
most admiring terms ; and, so far as an outsider
can hear and learn, he seems certainly to be the
leading man amongst the five commissioners.

in Prussia, has an article, intended to influenoe
the approaching elections, in which it predicts the
most frightful calamities for the world. It shows
storms approaching from all parts of the compass—
from Venice, from Dalmatia, from the Princi-
palities, from Hungary, from Poland, and Ger-
many, attacked at once on all her frontiers. The
voyage of the King of Sweden to France it re-
gards as the evidence of a Franco-Scandinavian
