Tux CHINIIaiII:MMABSY.—A "'ravelled Country
Cousin" is surprised to have seen no record of the official
reception given to the Chinese embassy now in Loudon,
and comes to the conclusion that if there has been any re-
ception at all it cannot have been of • very brilliant or
impressive character. "If," says he, "the Hereditary
()rand Duke of Stiff-und-Starkenstein, whose dominions
consist of half-a-dozen square miles, predestined to be
gobbled up by Prussia, and whose exports to England
are represented by some thousand dozens of Seltzer water
and • few gross of meerschaum pipet per annum, had
paid us • visit, a special train would have conveyed his
Serenity from Southampton to London, a deputation of
directors would have been in attendance at each railway
terminus ; her Majesty's carriages, acoomp•nied perhaps
by a squadron of Life Uuards, would have roamed the
illw.trious stranger to Windsor ; he would have dined iu
state at the Mansion-house, and feasted with civic com-
lonics. But for the representatives of one-third of mankind
*e have uo national welcome to offer." Sposking from
his own knowledge of the character of Chinamen, the
writer thinks that if it ho British policy to humiliate
and vex them, that policy is likely to meet with entire
UMW".

vs OM PARIS LETTER.

(1110/1 OUR OWN 001ZWITOODINT.)
PARIS, TiressaAT Braernro.

I am told that the King whom General Prhn has
in pito for Spain is no other than the Saxe
Coburg prince the father of the King of Por-
tugal.
Count Oirgenti, whose whereabouts was for
many days a mystery, has turned up in Paris, and
has carried off his young wife to Pau to be near
her mother, Isabella.

The revolutionary junta of Seville has authorised
the Minister of the Uhited States to build a pro-
testant church in that city. Now is the time for
enterprising young parsons in search of cures to
go out to Spain, where hitherto no public preach-
ing of any religion but the Roman catholic has
been tolerated.

The Emperor and the court will leave Biarritz for
St. Cloud on Saturday. On Tuesday there is to
be a council, to which all the ministers are sum-
moned. There is a confident expectation, founded
no doubt upon some official indications,
that next week the Emperor will issue an im-
portant manifesto, indicating his home and
foreign policy. All sorts of rumours are afloat
on this subject. Constitutional government and a
frankly pacific declaration are talked of. The
government papers allege that disarmament has
already begun on the French side. But if it be
true, se suggested in many quarters, that the
Emperor means to propose disarmament to Prussia,
there is considerable reason to fear that the over-

tore, certain to be refused, will only make war
more imminent than it wee before.

There is great talk of a now map of France to
be published by the Emperor's orders, showing
the boundaries of France at three epochs : 1815,
1832, and 1868. As to the object of the publica-
tion there are diametrically conflicting rumours,
some saying that the Emperor means to show
(which seems to me very unlikely), that France is
in no way damaged by the aggrandisetnents of
Italy and Prussia, and others, on the contrary,
that the changes create a right to a rectification of
her frontiers.

The Opinions Nationale affirms, in spite of all
denials, that an offensive and defensive alliance
between France and Holland is a fait accompli ;
that although the new ministry is less favourably
disposed towards French policy than its predeces-
sors, it is ready to accept the responsibility of the
alliance, the terms of which will only be made
public in the event of a conflict.
The Bourse was extremely firm, the purchases
"recommended" by M. Maple (as the Constien-
tioimel admits) by the Bank of France and the
great credit societies, to support the market, being
backed by political rumours of a most favourable
nature concerning the policy which the Emperor
is expected to develop next week. Recite rose l sc.
for cash and 22c. for account, closing at the highest
prices of the day, 69fr. 95e. and 69fr. 97e. Mobi-
lier fell 2fr. 50e. There was not much change in
other securities.

A Paris journal states that Malakoff was a
cordmaker of the RUMiall Beet in the Black Sea. After
being discharged for drunkenness, he opened a cabaret at
the top of the hill to which was given his name, since
shared by General rebuke..
The Duke d'Attmale is about to publish a
pamphlet on the Battle of Sadowa, in which he pleads
extenuating circumstances for the vanquished Henedek.

The Paris journal the C/orhe extracts from
Baron Pelet's work entitled "The Opinions of Napo-
leon," the following words of the first emperor :
"I might have publicly executed the Duke d'Enghien.
If I did not do so it was not from fear, but to avoid giving
occasion to the secret partisans of the family to rise and
ruin themselves." The Temps suggests that after this
explanation there is nothing to prevent M. (Jerome from
exhibiting, in 1849, the shooting of the young prince at
night, under this title, " Fine trait of Humanity in the
Emperor Napoleon." _ _

The Chinchu guano islands are 100 miles from
the Peruvian coast. The coast of guano was originally
140 feet thick, but it is considerably reduced, and will ere
long be completely removed. There are about 1,000
persons employed in the guano workings, nearly eighty of
whom are constantly engaged in shipping it. The islands
wore seriously affected by the great earthquake in August.
The chief island rocked like • ship. The inhabitants
rushed to the church, and in their fright they knocked
down the altar and destroyed its adornments. The few
English inhabitants tried to control the panic but failed to
do so.

CD:EMVBTOWN, OCT. 16.—The National Steam-
ship Company's steamer Pennsylvania, from Liverpool,
arrived here last night, and having embarked passengers
this morning, proceeded for New York. All well.
THE FORTHCOMING CONVENTION OF BISHOPS.
—lt is feared that in consequence of the law's delays, the
four bishops awaiting consecration—Peterborough, Bom-
bay, Grafton, and Maritsburg—will not be able to be
consecrated on All Saint's Day, the Ist of November, as
originally intended. The ceremony will probably not
take place until Monday, the 30th of November, St.
Andrew's Day.
THE MARQUIS OF LORNE ON ITALY.—On
Tuesday night the Marquis of Lorne delivered the
opening lecture of a course got up under the auspices of
the Greenock Young Men's Christian Association, in the
Town Hall, Greenock. The subject of the lecture was
" Italy in October, 1867," on which the young marquis
discoursed for nearly two hours, during which he was
listened to with deep attention. At the close a cordial vote
of thanks was given to the lecturer, who moved a vote of
thanks to the provost for presiding.
LORD NAPIER OF MAOUALA ON PRAYER.—
Yesterday, at a meeting of the Evangelical Union. held at
Exeter-hall, General Burrows related the following
anecdote of Lord Napier, which had come under his
notice :—" Years ago," said Lord Napier, "in Edin-
burgh, I happened to read one of your delightful authors
—a writer who, I believe, is very popular among you—l
speak of Hugh Miller. I well remember a description
there given of a awns which happened one stormy night.
The mother of Hugh Miller was sitting in the house of a
minister, and being terrified by one of the fiercest gusts of
the storm, she ran to the minister's door, and knocking
at it said, Come and let us pray for theta that are at sea,
and they knelt down and prayed. Her husband, who
commando' a small coasting vessel, was out at sea that
night, and d ring a tremendous gust of the storm, a
mighty waveu submerged the barque, which struggled as
though she would never ries again, but at length she with
difficulty emerged to the surface, and the father of Hugh
Miller, who was at the wheel with his mate, said, as soon
as he could recover his breath, ' There must have been a
code soul praying for us this night.' " " I felt," said
Lord Napser, " that those poor Abyminian captives, as
they breathed** epee air sitar peasia4 the gates of
Magda* might have acid, ' There are many good souls
praZini(for la this day.' "
MAN CATHOLIC BISHOP ON RITUALISM.—
On Wednesday last, Dr. Ullathorne, Roman catholic!
Bishop of Birmmgham, laid the foundation stone of a new
church at Bwynnerton, Staffordshire. Iu addressing diode
assembled, Dr. Ullathorne said they had hoard a language
and had witnessed rites and ceremonies which to many
might hav=red strange, foreign, and what was
termed un- ; but the self-same rites, langusge,
words, ceremonial; and &aunts had burn used 700 years
before by his catholic predecemor when he laid the foun-
dation dune of the church which ho saw before him (the
parish church of Bnriertoti). There were in the church
of God, and ever had been, two languages—the language of
words and the language of actions, film, and ceremonies
and even that community, that sect, that boil) of separa-
tists—the clergy of the Anglican church—who for 300
years had used all their learning and all their skill iti
writing and in railing against the catholic chef's+, were now
beginning to use again the language of tuition *nil cereuto-
Oita. The grant body of the Anglican clergy were r'intra-
ducing ritual, and this was predicted 1111 l re than '2OO
years ago by the illustrious Iloesuet, who said the limo
would come in England when by the more force of the
learning of its able men, SW by the study of the history
of the church, they would come lack in numbers into the
tree fold, and amongst the gentry of England the trite
worship would become the habitat. Th d prediction was
being fulfilled. For :*t) years the souls of mew hid in
Ettgland been starved clown to the lowest point, and now
they were hungering after a more generone way of ex-
pressing the Of their hearts. The cotivoquenee
was, that while polite clergymen were torturing their coat-

lies in the country were returning to the true faith. Ott

snorKau SUICIDE OF A BANKERS
CLERK ON Till LONDON. 0N4714%, AND
DOIER RAILWAT.-(T118 DAY.)

Shortly after eight o'clock this morning a
middle-aged man of gentlemanly appearance was seen
on the down platform at the Loughborough-road

station, awaiting the 8.37 express to Ludgate-hill. his
manner was noticed as somewhat emptier, and
on the approach of the 8.10 through train from
Dickley he took a deliberate jump from the
platform ou the main line immediately in front of the
engine in motion. To show his determination we may
state that he leaped a distance extending over four lines of
metal, and owing to the speed at which the train was
travelling he was carried some distance before the engine,
but was then run over and cut to pieces. The body
was at once removed to a store-room belonging to the
I•tation. The deceased wore no jewellery, and all that could
be found in his pockets was an old key and a scrap of
piper, on one side of which was written "London and
County Bank, Lombard-street," and on the other " 13,
Milton-villas, Millbrook-road." The station master
despatched a messenger at once to the lust-named address,
where the who of the deceased resided, and the name of the
unfortunate man was ascertained to be Joseph Cartwright.
It is said that the deceased has on more than one occasion
expressed an intention to commit suicide; but no informa-
tion is given as to the motive of that intention or of the
act which deprived him of life.
