EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

I have reason to believe that the Neufchatel Con-
ferences will open in Pais on Friday or Saturday
next.
Neri Khan, an attache of Ferukh Khan, has left
Paris to-day for Teheran with the treaty just
dyed, which requires the ratification of the Persian
government.
The news of the defeat of Lord Palmerston's go-
vernment was known in Paris early this morning,
and produced a slight hesitation at the opening of
the Bourse. Although yesterday's letters had
held out a strong expectation that minis-
ters would have a majority, the unexpected re-
sult of the division had suprisiney little
effect upon the ardour of the speculators for the
rise. Purchases were freely made at an advance in
the early part of the day. Realisations of profits
brought down the Rente a little in the afternoon,
and it closed at 70fr. 80c. for cash, and 71fr. 20e. for
L account, with a fall of 10e. and 25c. Mobilier rose
10fr. for cash, and fell 12fr. 50c. for account. A
considerable business was done in railway shares.
Mediterranean rase 50fr., the fusion with Lyons
being said to be very advanced. Lyons rose 2*.
Orleans and Grand Central were dull. It appears
that the Orleans directors arc much impressed with
the state of the accounts, or rather, perhaps, the
want of any accounts, between the Grand Central
and M. de Moray, and refuse, in spite of pressure
from very high quarters, to complete an arrange-
ment for a fusion which was at one time thought to
be settled. Southern rose 12fr. 50e. ; Western, sfr.,
and Eastern, 7fr. 50c. Northern fell 7fr. 50c.
The circumstances brought to light at the trial of
Verger concerning the hopeless condition of inter-
dicted priests, has produced such an impression upon
the government, that a scheme for establishing
asylums for them, in every department of France,
is under serious consideration.
The following very quaint paragraph appears in
the Courrierder Oise :—" The physicians of the town
of Senlis, taking into consideration the progressive
rise in all the necessaries of life, inform the public
that pursuant to a common agreement they will raise
their fees from and after Jan. 1, 1857." After this
totally novel coalition, the next thing to be looked
for is a strike among the doctors.

THE DEFEAT OF MINISTERS.

MANCHE...TER, 4.—The defeat of ministers

MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.

The meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Draper,
Pietroni and Co., who stopped payment on the 13th
Nov., was held yesterday. The balance sheet pre-
sented by Messrs. J. E. Coleman and Co., the ac-
emintanis, states the liabilities at 99,3501., and the
assets at 53,5611., so that there seems a good
prospect of 10s. in the pound being realised.
It was resolved to wind up the estate under inspec-
tion.

From the statement presented at the meeting
of the creditors of Messrs. Hirsch Strother and
Co., held yesterday, it appears that the capital of
the firm on the let of January, 1857, was 5,0001.
Their liabilities are now 47,0001., and their assets
i about 10,0001. They offer 3s. 6d. in the pound, viz..
2a, cash, and ls. 6d. in mix months. In the event of
this offer not being accepted, there is the alternative
of the estate being thrown into the Bankruptcy
Court—an alternative which the partners seem to
contemplate with great sangfroid. In such case the
dividend would probably be still smaller. Much
angry feeling was excited by a diaclosureof the system
of trading pursued by the house. It is alleged that
they have discounted acceptances of Messrs. Mends
da Costa and Co. for 12,0001., and of Henry Hoff-
mann and Co. for 7,0001., and that these transacticem
partake altogether of an irregular character, as not
representing bond fide dealings.
A meeting of the creditors of Mr. Thome biella-
dew, commission agent, who suspended payment on
the 30th ult., was also held yesterday. The
were stated at 26,1591., and the assets at 3,8771. A
composition of 3s. in the pound was offered, bat was
not accepted by the creditors present, who appointed
two of their body to examine into the position of the
firm, and to report the result at an adjourned meet-
ing which will be held shortly. The balance-sheet
presented by Messrs. Turquand, Youngs, and Co.,
the accountants, is as follows :

OUZERAT.

AIIMEDABAD.—A futile attempt to get up a rising
of the troops at Ahmedabad woe made by some men of the
2nd Native Infantry Grenadiers, on the night of the 16th
inst. A letter from that station says :—" It appears that
some ten or twelve men of the 2nd Grenadiers went to the
gun sheds, either with the intention of *airing the guns or of
inciting the (Mundanee to join them. The guard of the
latter, however, turned out and threatened to shoot the
first man who came R step nearer. The whole of the
Golundaune then turned out, drew out the guns, har-
nessed the horn., and got all reedy for action. The
men of the 2nd than went to the quarter-guard
of the 7th Native Infantry, and were there received with the
same threats of being instantly shot unto's they took them-
selves off. Finding it a failure they dispersed. The roll call
was taken, and every man of the artillery and the 7th was
found to be present, but two of the grenadiers were missing,
and eight or nine of the same regiment were made primers.
Some of the muskets were found to be loaded. This is all
that is yet known, but an inquiry is to take place to-day.
The Golundaure and 7th appear to have behaved well.
Some native officers of the 2nd gave information that some-
thing wee wrong, and the military authorities were on the
gai rare to prevent disturbance. —Bombe y Gazette Aare,

INDORE AND MHOW.

We learn from the Molussilite that the Indoor and
Mhow mutineers have crossed the Chumbul, and were at the
date of latest advices encamped between that river and Dhol-
pore. Their future movements are uncertain, bat should
they approach Agra, they will meet with s warm reception.

The Poona Observer haa been favoured with an mired of
a letter from Mhow, dated the 18th September, in which It le
stated that ten thousand mutineers had encamped within
sight of the British camp, and that it was expected they
would make an immediate attack on our force. Brigadier
Stuart was, however, preparing to be beforehand with the
scoundrels, of whom he will no doubt very soon render a
good account with the aid of the troops under his command.

FROM A FRENCH SOURCE.

The Paris Pap gives the following details of
the taking of Delhi:
" General Wilson received his siege artillery on
September 9. The siege works had been actively
pushed on for a fortnight previously, and the be-
sieging force had arrived within 150 metres of the
place. It was resolved to form at once three storm-
ing batteries,:one of seven guns, against the slooree-
gate bastion ; another of six guns against the
bastion of the Cashmere-gate ; and a third of eight
gm; against that of the Lahore-gate. Captains
Smith, Ward, and I Mnaldson, of the Bengal artillery,
were appointed to construct these batteries. All was
ready by the evening of the 13th, and on the morning
of the 14th the fire was opened. The three batteries
kept up their fire day:and night. On the 16th it
was ascertained that practicable breaches bad been
made in the Mooree and Lahore bastions. It was
resolved to commence the assault the next day, the
17th. At day-break the columns advanced from
their lines and rushed upon the city. As soon as the
column of attack against the Mooreebastion had got
through the breach, the rebels retreated, but a few
minutes afterwards a powder magazine, which they
had used to supply their batteries, blew up and
killed a great many English officers and soldiers.
The General, suspecting the existence of
other mines, ordered • retreat. On the fol-

lowing day the firing re-commenced. A new
battery wu constructed opposite the bastion of the
Cabul gate, and on the 20th a general assault upon
the town wu given with complete success. The
King of Delhi, with his entire Court, and a great
number of insurgents, had left some days before and
bad taken the Lucknow road. Their departure
threw the besieged into confusion. Had the
insur-
gents been well commanded the result would have
been widely different. The English, at this decisive
period of the siege, showed great vigour and
decision."

NANA SAHIB'S PROCLAMATIONS.

The following proclamations have been lamed by
the miscreant Nana Sahib. The first is dated the
let of July :
" As, by the kindness of God and the Mal or good fortune
of the Emperor, all the Christiana who weft at Delhi, Poonah,
Satarah, and other places, and even those 5,000 European
soldiers who went in dieguise into the former city and were
&moseyed, are destroyed and sent to hell by the pions and
sagacious troops, who are firm to their religion ; and as they
have all been conquered by the present government, end sa
no trace of them is left in these places, it is the duty of all
the subject, end servants of the government to rejoice at the
delightful intelligence, end to carry on their respective work
with comfort and ease."

Proclamation d.ted the let of July sad burned by order of
the Nana

"As, by the bounty of the glorious Almighty God and
the enemy-destroying fortune of the Emperor, the yellow-
faced and narrow-minded people have heen sent to hell, and
Cas-npore has been conquered, it is necowary that all the
subjects and landowners &unlit be as obedient to the present
government as they hod been to the former one; that all the
government servants should promptly and cheerfully engage
their whole mind in executing the orders of government;
that it is the incumbent duty of all the ryota and landed pro-
prietors of every district to rejoice at the thought that the
Christians have been rent to hell, and both the Hindoo and
slahomcdtin religions have been confirmed ; and that they
should, as usual, be obedient to the authorities of the go-
vernment, and never to suffer any complaint against them-
selves to reach the ears of the higher authority."
Order dated the sth of July to the city Kotwal (Mayor)
by the Noe:
" It baa come to our notice that some of the city people,
basing heard the rumours of the arrival of the Europe,"
soldiers at Allahabad, are deserting their house. and going
out into the districts; you are, therefore, directed to proclaim
In each lane and street of the city that regiments of cavalry
and infantry and batteries have been despatched to check
the Europeans either at Allalialsd or Futtehpore ; that the
;sepia should therefore remain in their houses without any
apprehension and engnge their minds in carrying on their
week."

h the market for home mining stocks dulness
continues to prevail. Prices are, in most cases,
nominally supported, but where business is done
lower rates are generally submitted to. Alfred
Consols and Wheal Edward shares may be par-
ticularised as cheaper. Shares in Wheal Mary Ana,
Par Console, North Crotty, East Russell, and East

transactions in Wheal Grenville shares in the Mining
Exchange.

RAJPOOTANA.

From Rajpootana we learn, under date the 24th
September, that the Neemuch force had a brush
with the rebels, and took ten guns from them. The
number of killed and wounded ia not known. The
doctor of her Majesty's 831. d Regiment and several
of the men are wounded, u also some of the 12th
, Native Infantry and 2nd Cavalry. General George
I Lawrence has had to fall back upon Bewar, about

A portion of the force from Numeerabad hes gone out to
intercept the mutineers of the Jondpore Legion, under the
personal command of General Lawrence. They made 36
miles in the first march, which shows that the gram is not
likely to grow under their feet, at all events. Nothing
stirring here. The 83rd detachment lost a fine fellow yester-
day from fever, the second casualty since their weird here,
end ere can 10 afford to lose a single European at present.
The 83rd are just now almost the sole protectors of Rej-
pootana, end without there we could not possibly hold our
position here. The men are exceedingly well-behaved, and
Captain Read, their commanding officer, evidently under-
Mande his work. They are anxious to have an opportunity
of distinguishing themselves, and should the Mehomedana
of Mundesore pay ea a visit, they may aspect a warm re-
ception.—Benekey

We tried to march three days ago, but after being out some
hours in a drenching rain had to return, the road being im-
parable. The rest of the Horse Artillery end fifty more

howitzers, two small marten, two squadrons Lancers, MO

SINGAPORE.

(NOON OUR OWN OORILLSFONDENT.)

SINGAPORE, SEPT. 19.

The much-dreaded crisis liis---Piufseci'ciVer. The
Mohnrrum passed away quietly, but not without
considerable apprehension, owing to the large num-
ber of convicts (2,400) which the government of India
has sent to injure this settlement, by freeing the
continent of its worst scum. That no outbreak
ensued we have not to thank the executive, inas-
much as one of the chief civil authorities has re-
cently admitted that any rising was kept down by
the influence exerted by three first-class convicts,
who, having a large amount of property outside the
convict lines, knew they would lose it should any
disturbance take place. This admission of the civil
authorities, coupled with their expressed con-
viction that, in the event of the convicts
rising, there is not sufficient military here
to put them down, may well cause much
apprehension and just indignation on the part of the
free population. The military guard at the convict
lines consist of Madras Sepoys, and a large portion
of the convicts are from the Madras Presidency, so
that in the event of any disaffection on the part of
the troops, they would no doubt fraternise with
their condemned countrymen. At present these
troops (belonging to the 12th and 38th Madras Na-
tive Infantry) are staunch, but their loyalty would
probably cease if the Madras army, to any extent,
followed the evil example of the Bengal Sepoys.
On the 10th instant Lord Elgin and suite, with
General Straubenzie and Major the Hon. H. Pellew,
arrived here in the Ava, and sailed for Hong Kong
on the morning of the 14th. His Excellency ap-
pears disappointed with reference to his mission
to India. It is said that his Excellency was
no party to the address of General Hearsey,
or the suggestion to the Bengal Sepoys of
volunteering for service in China, but I believe
that the contrary was really the case. The
General, notwithstanding his disclaimer, would
never have ventured to make the offer on his own
responsibility. The attempt to induce the mutinous
regiments to volunteer for service in China has
signally failed, and few people like to father an
unsuccessful project from which much was ex-
pected.

utuah of the evidence had faded to prove many of those

hour and a half, returned a verdict of ClueUm upon the counts
charging the conepirary and attempt to extort, and upon the
other part of the charge, that the defendants had failed to
establish the whole of their plea of justification.
The defendanta were then ordered into custody, and upon
being called upon,
Evans said he had no knowledge of the part Thorn had
taken in the mattes and he could prove the truth of hie es-

had sworn about money being mentioned so pointedly, was
entirely false.

FLIGHT OF THE REBELS.

A letter from Mr. Cocks, dated Marva, Septem-

the fugitive regiment, at Khoorjs :
" A man I sent to Khoorjs for news has just returned, sad
says that two and a half regiments have reached Khoorjs,
being fugitives from Delhi, and swearing they are off to
Luchnow, when is their home, and where they will die. The
Bspoys are very badly off for arms, and even for Louie,
although they bare money. The city was, it is said, stormed
on Monday and the entrance made, and the streets ►nee deep

THE EARTHQUAKE IN NAPLES.

The Official Journal of the Two Sidlift gives
the following details of the earthquake in the king-
dom of Naples:

"NAPLES, Du. 17.

" Two violent undulatory shocks of an earthquake
were felt in this capital on the night of the 16th and
17th, the first at ten minutes past ten, which lasted
four or five seconds, and the next two minutes later,
and this second shock lasted twenty-five seconds.
The last was so severe that it stopped the two
clocks of the royal observatory. There were two
other shocks between three and five in the morning
but they were slight. Despatches from Caserta,
Nola, Averts, Pozzuoli, Salerno, and Avellina,
speak of shocks in thou localities. In the province
of the Citerior Principality, at Eboli and Cam-
pagna, the two first shocks were more severely felt,
but there was no fatal accident. A telegraphic
despatch from Salerno sap that no news has been
received from Sala, de Eagonero, or Calabria, although
very many despatches have been sent, asking for
intelligence. At Padula the earthquake was felt.
At Caatellmare two men wereinjured."..

"NAPLES, DEC. 18,

" We have received worse news from the Citerior
Principality. Telegraphic communication is inter-
rupted between Eboli and Sala. In the last of those
two towns three men were killed; the prison, the
barracks, and other edifices, were damaged; at
Atena half the houses were destroyed; at Padnla
a hundred houses fell, and the number of the killed
is not known ; at Poll the disaster is immense, and
the victims numerous; the brigade of gendarmerie
has greatly suffered ; at Auletta, Petrosa, and Caggi-
ano, many houses are in ruins, and there arc a great
many victims. At Salerno several buildings were
injured, more especially the two churches, the hotel
de vine, and the barracks ; a steeple fell in a fanbourg
of this town, arid killed two women ; at Campagna
a great many houses are damaged."

PORTUGAL

(rams 001 OWN 001011SPOND110.)
LISBON, Dec. 19.
The fever still oontinaes to abate; and the 'weather
is now much cooler, so that there exists a probability
that the disease mac gradually subside before the
next spring. The 'last bulletin published by the
Board of Health shows 17 new cases of fever, and 14
deaths. Besides this, the cases are Paid to assume a
milder aspect and yield more readily to treatment.
The sewers, allowed on every side to be the chie:
cause of the spread and continuance of the disease,
are said to be in a most lamentable condition. No
map of them is in existence. Some of them have
bulged and broken into others ; all are made without
cement, and the ground around them is thoroughly
saturated with the liquid impurities constantly pass-
ing through them. Several medical men of high
standing are of opinion that the disease will lie
almost dormant during the winter, but that it will
o -ask out withrenewed violence in thecomingepring,
and commit greater ravages than it has done this
year. The government, as yet, does not appear to
take any steps for cleansing the old sewers, and if
time is allowed to pass, and the warm weather to
come on, the consequences cannot be foretold. Of
course, if the government determine to make a new
system of sewerage, money will have to be raised;
and I feel little doubt that for such a cause the inha-
bitants of Lisbon would freely pay a tax.
The consequences of the epidemic are evident
everywhere. Most of the mouied people continue
to made out of town ; commerce is almost pars-
lysed ; shopkeepers sell little or nothing, and trades-

men are short of work. Subscriptions are being got
np to uaist the poor, and a large amount of money
has been raised. Several British subjects, however,
who have suffered by these calamitous circumstances,
are not within the reach of the Portuguese charities;
and I regret that the funds, if they merit the name,
placed by the British government in the hands of
the consul, are wholly Inadequate to meet present
exigencies, and ought to be increased beyond the
beßaly pittance at present doled out.
erChamber of Deputies continue to meet, that
is to say, nominally, for sufficient members cannot
be got together to constitute a house. The Chamber
of Peers have met, about 28 members having been
present. The Viscount Laborim officiated as Presi.
dent. The proceedings of the chamber were limited
to the election of the secretaries, who are the Counts
de Mello and Lonsan ; and the vice-secretaries, who
are the Viscount de Balsemao and Dom Pedro de
Rio. The business transacted hitherto has been
merely nominal, and limited to appointing a dept.
tation to communicate to the King the constitution of
the chambers and the election of committees.

TER 82211111 AT ABERDARE.

(Prom the Sraviseaffereld.)

The strike amongst the aolliem seems not Likely
to be speedily terminated. There bad been a partial re-
sumption of work, bat it is followed by a fresh turn-out.
At °mills the numbers at work are reduced to some fifty or
slaty. The little coal produced goes to the yard, or is sold
ea the spot. On Monday the few men employed in preparing
for altar( at Bwllfs colliery waited on Mr. Lewis to cot:a-
phis of the threats at violence made use of to them by the
men an strike, and to say that they could no longer continue
to work la the Ism of the imprecations hanging over their
heads. This Is • bad feature in the strikes, but it only de-
monstrates bow impossible it is for ill-advised and mischiev-
ous movements of this kind to be carried on long with per-
fect good order.
The hon. member for Merthyr, Mr. Bruce, has started
himself in a most praiseworthy meaner to enlighten the col-
liers and bring them to some comprehend on of the extree:cf
eef.o2
of their conduct; but It semen he has been WWII
At the large meeting of the colliers on Ifirenrin Common,
lAA Saturday, the leading spirits of the strike attempted to
justify their conduct by reasons which do, in some instances,
deserve to be noticed. The appeal of one of these collier
orators to the consciences of his listeners—his urging than
to ask their own covariance' whether they. were paid too
highly for their work before the reduction -11 certamly not
a strictly logical or demonstrative method of argument ; but
when one of them contends that the mere advance of the
rate of interest front five to ten per cent. should not have
caused the reduetion of wages fifteen per cent., there is
some appearance of reason in It. Indeed, we are diapered
to that the reduction of fifteen per cent.
in the rages all at once was not the mod wise
plan: If such a :eduction was found necessary in
the end, a smaller one might, we think, have with
more propriety been made to begin with. However, it is
not improbable that a reduction of only 10 per cent. would
not have proved a sufficiently moderate course to keep the
colliers from complaining end rebelling. It is a very diffi-
cult matter, even though people's • consciences" are ap-
pealed to4end even though they are the consciences of
greater folks than colliers—to get a decision entirely in ac-
cordance with sober reason, when the question so much
affecta ike pocket. The colliers are themselves the most
severe soiree by the strike, and they must needs be so.
While they might be earning wages superior to those of
artisans in many of our large towns who consider themselves
well paid, they are obstinately choosing to undergo instead a
pitiful martyrdom of starvation.

THE 4RT TILIASCRES ILLHIBITION.

At a special meeting of the Manchester Town
Council, held yesterday, lb. RUMNaIf proposed, and Mr.
HARRY RAWSON seconded, the following resolution:
"That this council is deeply imprasd with the great ad-
vantages oonferied upon this city, and the community at
large, b the recent Exhibition of Art Treasures of the
United Kingdom, an exhibition of works of art unrivalled in
magnitude and value, the examination and study of which
were rentnently celculated to improve the knowledge end
elevate the taste of all visitors; and, by bringing together
different classes not accustomed to assocate, to promote good-
will awl kindly feeling amosigat all motions of the people.
" whichgratefy acknowledging the munificent liberality
with the heavyexpeneas to be inourred were originally
guaranteed ; as also the noble manner in which the applme-
dons made for the loan of works of art were responded to by
the contributors, this council feels called upon, as repre-
senting, and on behalf of, the citizens of Manchester, in an
especial manner to tender its most sincere and cordial thank*
to Thomas Parham, Esq.. the chairman, Sir James Watts,
and Thomas Ashton, Viilliam Eluvial., Joseph Heron,
Edmund Potter, and Sigismond James Stern, Esq.., the
members of the executive committee, for their disinterested
and arduous labours; for the untiring zeal and unrem&ittitn.i.
attention which, during so lengthened a period, they

characterised all their proceedings sad arrangeme is and
which so largely contributed to render completalj marina
the moat memorable exhibition of modern Mace, oonferring
Meting fame and honour upon the city in which it bee been
held."

The resolution was supported by Mr. Alderman NZILD
