The Tea, dew not recollect any one of the numerous
eastern disputes in which the opinion of Western Europe
has been so clearly and unanimously pronounced, as in
the present quarrel between Turkey and Greece. Every
phase of the business exhibit' the untenable position the
Greeks have taken up. and those who judged on
the general principle, of the case as first pre-
sented to them have their opinions amply con-
firmed by its details. A recent despatch from
M. Dekanni, the Mellen* Minister for Foreign Allan, to
the Turkish minister at Athens, confirms the views which
the Times has held respecting the une•rupulous conduct
of the Greek government—conduct which they now
sick to justify by doctrines subversive of all national
security: and our contemporary insists that no anti-
quarian sentiment and no pity far weaklier should lead
us to tolerate prccsedings so mischievous.

OUR PARIS LETTER.

OMAN OUR OWN

PARIS, MONDAY EVIENTNO.

NI/count de Is Cueronni&e, the French minister
at Brussells, tame to Paris yesterday and had an
audience of the Emperor. He was subse-
quently received by his very old friend the
Marquis de la Valette, Minister of Foreign
Affairs. When, therefore, the France (IL do la
Gueronniire's journal) says this evening that there
will be no reaction against the liberal promises of
Jan. 19, we may fairly presume that it is offi-
cially inspired. As to foreign polities, it is averred
in the same article that " pesos has no need to be
better affirmed than it is at present, but
that perhaps it is desirable that it should be better
dellnecL" This la one of those pure Gueronni4re
antitheses which have puzzled me ever since I have
been a correspondent—until, and that is long ago,

I Mt off thinking them worth interpreting . I
have not the least ides whet I. now mesa.

The Tempe takes it for granted that the Marquis
de Meatier, in concert with U. de Beast, encou-
raged Turkey to assume the hostile attitude
towards Chrome which has led to the present
momentous crisis, and thinks the great question
upon which peace now hangs is whether the Mar-
quis )le Mouldier went beyond the Minperor's in-
struotione.

The Marquis de Moustier continues U. be very
ill indeed and cannot be removed from the
ministry of foreign stairs on the Qua d'Orsay.
The Emperor and Empress send frequently to
make inquiries, but his medical advisers do not
allow any visits. His legs are swollen, and the
swelling hes a tendency upwards. He remains
day and night in an easy chair, it being too pain-
ful to him to lie in bed.

There are those who think it unpolita to question
the truth of any of despatch and when I said
a few days ago that if Genova Claldint was only
going to Spain on " private Weirs " it was very
extraordinary that Is• should take snob •
circuitous route as that by Pads, my rosaark was
doubtless set down, in some quarters, as that
of a systematic disbeliever in official announce-
ments. Well, it now appears that the Priam

annual subscription of five guineas will be charged to the
Newmarket betting tinge, and admission limited to mem-
bers of Tattersall's and the Newmarket subscription room,
and others properly introduced. Daily and weekly tickets
will be abolished. It is to be hoped (says the Sportily
Gazette) that this capital arrangement will prevent the
overcrowding and bear-gardensveues which wore so much
complained of during the present week. The Sperling
Life says a request that gentlemen would conduct their
lehting transactions in a more subdued tone was posted in
the rooms at Newmarket on Wednesday, by order of the
committee, who had received from subscribers complaints
of the noise made by certain speculators.
Confirming. the opinion advanced by our Turf corre-
spondent, ` Meteor, " when such a hubbub was created
by Sir Joseph lawley's Derby Declaration, the
.sporting Gazette of to-day has the following :
'• A great deal of absurd nonsense has been written from
time to time about 'declarations to win,' and the duty of
an owner in reference to a custom that has been in ex-
istence for the last seventy years. It is an established rule
in racing that if an owner starts two horses be is bound to
win with the beet, unless he declares to the contrary ; and
this ' protecting dame' is seldom ogled into force,
unless to avoid penalties for other engagements, or to
meet the exigencies of peculiar cases, as the very fact of
making the declaration is proof positive that the owner has
his doubts as to the possibility of carrying it out. The last
Derby afforded a remarkable case in point. Sir J. Hawley
declared to win with Bosicrucian or Oreen Sleeve, in
preference to Blue Sown, because all his money was on
those two—not from any idea that they would beat Blue
Gown, because be knew too well they could not do so,
" bar accident," but because, min this instance it suited his
purpose, which he and every other owner is justified in
studying before the interest of the public and all the world
besides."
All Mr. radvnek's horses in training are to be sold at
Tattersall's on Monday, October 22.

MR. GLADSTONE'S ADDRESS.

NEXT week the leader of the Liberal Opposition
will, it is expected, meet his future constituents,
and through them speak to the country. The
written address which is published this morning
has not the wealth of illustration and argument,
or the smiting force which are peculiar to its
author as an orator, but it puts before the English
people calmly, and in singularly felicitous
terms, the vital distinctions which exist
alike between the course and the principles
of Mr. Or.ancroind and Mr. Dulatau. The one,
in contradistinction to the other, has no faltering
in his accents, no hiatus in his case; no blurred
•
passages or distorted narrative. Not only is there
nothing in the past to conceal, or in the future'
to evade, there is everything which impels
to frankness and publicity. The contrast in this
reppect between the manifestoes of the two poll-;
tics! Chiefs must, we think, strike oven the pre-
judi;ed reader.
Mr. Outneroun's reference to the circum-
stances under which the proposals in his Re-
form Bill of 1886 were made, and to the
result, though strictly historical and exceptionally
brief, is in itself an effective politkal stroke.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1868.

GENERAL PEEL.

THE announcement of General Pitat,'s with-
drawal front public life has been reci.ireil by men
of all parties with sincere and merited re-
gret. Ili s retirement from the pilitical arena
cannot be considered premature, since he has
held a scat in Parliament for thirty-seven
years. But the gallant General never appeared
more vigorous than during the last session, when,
amidst demonstrations of respect and sympathy
from all parts of the House, be took his seat below
the gangway, and separated himself from the
government in which one would suppose he could
never have sat without some misgivings by the side
of the successful opponent and supplanter of his
lamented brother. However it may become
Liberals to treat General PEEL'S Toryism as out of
date, it is impossible for us not to hope
that in the new Parliament the prevailing
Liberalism may be found not incompatible with
those characteristic qualities which in General
PEra were so singularly conspicuous among
Tories without the courage of their con-
victions, and Liberals without the courage to be
Tories. We shall always have plenty of mil-
lionaires and of self-seekers of all grades and
professions, ready at a moment's notice t,)
dub themselves Constitutionalists, or Liberals,
as their convenience may dictate. But of
honest and highminded English gentlemen who
are not ashamed of owning a conscience, or
afraid of identifying personal with public
honour, we trust General PEEL may not have
been the last example in an English representative
assembly. Ours is an ago of testimonials,
and in nothing, perhaps. is the morality of a
nation more clearly mirrored than in the choice
of the objects of its preference. Most testi-
monials in England are given to results ; few
to qualities. It is consoling to find that thu
people of Huntingdon are not insensible to charm:-
fn, which is so much out of fashion in these
days. For while as a matter of form they are
opening a subscription for the purpose of present-
ing a piece of plate to General PEEL., " as a lasting
" memorial of the appreciation of his services as a
" statuanan," it is probably to Lis character rather
than his services, honest and conscientious as
those services have been, that the testimony of
respect is felt to be duo. In this sense the whole
country will associate itself in feeling at least
with the constituency of Huntingdon.

THE END OF THE PRIZE RING.

Lamr.nut the Prize Ring is, if we may be
allowed the expression, on its last legs in this
country, the classic land of that noble sport. It
attained its apotheosis in that memorable " in-
" ternational " encounter between Mr. THOMAS
SAYERS and Mr. JOILN HELNTANt at which the ails
of all ranks and classes of English society assisted,
and which was celebrated by some of our contem-
poraries in columns of rich and resonant prose,
which only wanted rhythm to be worthy of
Pumas. The victor of that combat was saluted
on the Stock Exchanges of London and
Liverpool with the rewards of a triumphant
(leneral;with rounds of cheers, with purses full of
gold, with testimonials in plate, in short with all
the honours which a WXLIZIOTON or a NAP= of
MAon.u.s could desire or expect. Success alas !
which has been fatal to so many illustrious
reputations, hastened, it is to be feared,
the end of Mr. THOMAS SATzns ; and
with the public funeral, and the visit of innu-
merable pilgrims from Whitechapel and more dis-
tant countries, to the little room in which the great
man's furniture and clothes were treasured as the
relics of a saint, the fate of the institution which
his career had sanctified was sealed. From that
day the Legislature, society, the press, the railway
companies have cruelly deserted the profession en-
nobled by Mr. Tnowes &Tim. And yesterday, in
the Bow-street Polioo-court, the glory of the Ring
was finally blown upon by the magistrate, and
went out in a splutter. Not without a certain
saddened dignity, however, on the part of the last
aspirant to the fame of Dias and Ezrriuxus.

The death of Lord Howard de Walden, the representa-
tive of England at the Court of Brumeis, gives occasion to
the Morning !bat to impress on the Foreign-office the im.
portance of economy. It points out that Wu H. Butwo;
Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, Sir James Hudson, Mr. W.
D. Christie, Sir A. Male; Mr. Searlett, and Mr. Percy
Doyle, are on the diplomatic pension list and unemployed,
and that they are all capable of work. Now that economy
has become a national cry, it is a public duty to follow up
Mr. Lebow:here's admonitions, which found favour with
the House of Commons, and to press on Lord Stanley and
the Foreign-office the duty of utilising some of the idle
pensioners of diplomacy.
The 7Liogroph, remarking on the position of affairs on
the Continent, Pays it is not unnatural that the Belgians
should view with alarm any incident which may possibly
lead to differences with France, and that they should be
anxious to have in the representative of England at their
court a man of tact and ability. On this aooount, if for
no other reason, Belgium will have heard of Lord
Howard's death with deep regret, and will emulously wait
to learn who is to succeed the late minister in his arduous

BRESLAU, Serr. 2.
The Breslau Gazette says :—" The bishop of the
cathedral town of Plotzk, in Poland, has been
a*restcd, and sent off to-Siberia, under sentence of
deportation. This treatment is owing to his
refusal to send a delegate to a permanent Roman
catholic synod, which the Russian government is
intent upon convoking. The bishop refused to
obey this summons, on the ground that he, in his
quality of bishop of the Roman catholic church,
was only a dependent of the Pope, and did not
recognise any collateral authority, such aa the
synod referred to.-

I.IBERAL CATHOLICS IN PARLIAMENT.

Wit iLE we hope that the stupid "No Popery"
cry will be understood and disregarded by all
Liberal constituencies in England, there are one or
two places in which its influence is especially to
Le deprecated. These are the three localities in
which Liberal Ronan Catholics are themselves
candidates. There is indeed a considerable dif-
ference among these gentlemen themselves. Sir
JOHN AeTON, who renews his appeal to the electors
of Bridgnorth, in Opposition to Mr. Wurrmoax,
is one whom the ultramontane party of his
Own Church hate worse than any protestant.
The consistent and able testimony in favour of fair
dealing and honest thinking is a standing accusa-
tion against them. They were able, by invoking
superior authority, to silence his speaking
in the Home and Foreign lie,ieto and in
the Chronicle. But they cannot silence his
addresigli to the electors of Bridgnorth,
any more than they could stifle his words in Par-
liament. The former bear witness now to his
true liberality and uprightness. He asks the
borough to return him to Parliament in order that
he may vote for the disestablishment of the Irish
church, not as a catholic dissenter, but as a free
Englishman. He desires our government in
Ireland to be conducted on exactly the same prin-
ciples as those on which we desire to judge the
government of Rome. He accepts our doctrine
that the temporal power must be considered not
in regard to its necessity for the spiritual wants of
the Catholic Church, but in regard to its suit-
ability and acceptability, to the Roman
people; and applying this rule at home he
demands that the Irish Church shall not
be maintained in deference to the abstract prin-
ciple of establishments, or as a bulwark to the
Church of England, but that it shall be tried by
the standard of its work and its advantages in
Ireland. Following out this line of argument he
shows that Mr. Dualism is the true ultra-
montanist. The sentiments of the English
Pastime are applauded in the official organ of
the Vatican. The supporters of a temporal
supremacy for spiritual institutions are, as Sir
Joux Aurox demonstrattm with equal truth and
boldness, everywhere in unison. Everywhere
genuine liberals are opposed to such an

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Sam 2.
The -Wu fert, Praia of to-day ("Mama that a
note was despatched on the 28th ult. by the
Austrian government to the Austrian representa-
tive in Berlin, giving explanations of the conver-
sation lately held by Baron von Deust with the
Prussian envoy, Enron von Wmther. Baron Beast
is said to have expressed his astonishment on this
occasion that the Prussian government had made
the note of Count Usedom a subject of diplomatic
discussion, since it was to their mutual interest
that perfect silence should have been maintained
on the point. According to the New Free Preis,
although in the Austrian note a certain amount
of annoyance at the intentions underlying Count
UFedom's despatch is plainly visible, stress is at
the same time laid upon the desire of Austria for
the maintenance of peace, which is described as
the only state of things which at the present time
can satisfy the requirements of the country:

PRINCE OF WAIM'S.

A new comedy, entitled Tame eat', ft. in the
pen of Mr. F.dmtmd Yates, author of Nark 84,p, sweat
performed at this theatre on Paturday evening—Mies
Marie Wilton making her appearance, tot the beet thne
this season, in one of the principal character,. The
comedy, which is in three acts, eac► being confined in the
French fashion to one set scene, has been produ-ed with
the care and finish which characterise the management of
this elegant little theatre ; but the result can Issrdly be
called a ewers. In spite of one or two Writing sitnatinns,
tome clever touches of character, and a few good points,
in the dialogue by which the audience were now and then
roused into applause, it was impossible not to feel that the
play flagged, and that the doings of the dramatist persona
excited only a languid interest. Failures far leas
equivocal than that of TGWU (acs have beau retrieved
before now by aomprestion and re-arrangement. Mr.
Yates will, no doubt, profit by the unmistakable
signs of dissatisfaction with detain portions of his work,
exhibited by his audience on Saturday amnia.; and time
who visit the theatre this week will probably see the
comedy in a considerably modified form ; but, ar it stands,
it is difficult to imagkiethat any amount of clever :siting,
of elaborate scenery, ee sweet aeasweries, could ,tve it
flew early withdrawal.

Mr. Hare's wet sellistie make up. a certain pictueuyse
power, and a strange narrow', realm energy, gave to
the character of Has eked an interest which went far
to redeem the radical Lefts of the play. Miss Marie
Wilton. in the part of the sentimental married la ly, who
can never tecoffeetwithout an effort the names of perecoes
orthings ni the postisal similes and illustration+ in which
she delights, was always amuaisiy. Mr. H. W. Mont.
;pinery also deserves a word of praise for his pen...mums
of the comparatively humble part of Biddies. It is a
relief to tied an actor who can perform the part o: a foot-
man with a dry humour independent of the ha lineyed
resources of missing and misplaced aspirate.
Charles Collette, who performed the part of Ha., pt.,n, is
a new actor. His performance was gemtlems:dy and

capital sentence. Ile (the judge) mutt, however, deal

COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

MARL[-LANE.--(1"H18 DAY.)
To-day's market was scantily supplied with English
wheat. Owing to the firmness of the country markets a
decided improvement was apparent in the position of the
trade, and an improvement of lc to 2s. per quarter was
established in the quotations.
There was also more firmness in the trade for foreign
wheat, but the market was not to say active. In prices
an advance of Is. per quarter took place.
The supply of English barley on side was very moderate
and the supply
was firmer, at an advance of Is. per
rooter. French barley was in fair supply, but the trade
was the turn dearer.

Oats, with which the market was but moderately
supplied, were steady, and a slight advance took place In
the quotations.
Beans sold heavily, at a reduction of Is. per quarter.
The trade for peas was dull, and prices destined Is.
per quarter.
For flour there was a fair demand, and country marks
were rather dearer.

Tbri grain ooaarrgg trade has ruled dull throughout
the past week ; nevertbieoia, we have very little change to
notice in the quotations. Odessa wheat le held at 435. to
