THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1861.

Ithe bankers is great and embarrassing ; and we
need not occupy space with showing with what
good reason. There is also a prevalent diaap.
pointment at what is called the timidity of Eng-
land and France. Envoys complain of the dis-
couragements they meet with in London and
Paris ; and it cannot be concealed from the
Southern citizens that no day is fixed for the
despatch of a European force to their aid. Other
embarrassments vise from troubles in the army.
Messrs. NEILL describe correctly the character of
the young planters in the force ; but that order
forms a very small proportion of the army. The
mean whites are many times more numerous ;
and they are the real supporters of the war,
by which they obtain a better position and a
better maintenance than they ever had be-
fore. Even their strong self-interest, however,
cannot keep them in check ; and they are so habi-
tually lawless that everything that depends on
them is precarious. As time goes on, training
and maturing the Northern army, the Southern
becomes, and must become, poorer in its best
element. The planters cannot stay away very
long from their estates at the safest time ; and
now that the resolution is at last taken at
Washington to meet Southern by Northern
negroca, the danger is precipitated. A thousand
negroes are by this time landed on some part of
the Gulf shore; and the effect of the first look in one
another's faces, of slaves and emancipated negroes,
our readers may imagine for themselves. We will
only add that the fugitives bring accounts which
they can hardly have invented of the great extent
to which the slaves now pick up the art of read-
ing, unsuspected, for the sake of learning through
the newspapers what is going on, and of extensive
secret associations, on behalf of the " invaders,"
irlierever the real nature of the war is understood.
These are a few of the latest indications as to i
the prospects of the one section. Those of the
other are at least as significant. It is clear that
we may safely leave Mr. Szwain and his policy
of menace to us to the castigation of the American
journals. The case is put by some of them very
neatly. If Mr. SEWARD is not really alarmed,
but wants to raise a war, or a rage for a war, with
England, it must be to escape some difficulty, or
carry some compromise at home ; and the citizens,
who mean to finish what they have undertaken,
must be on their guard. If Mr. Sxwaari is really
alarmed about an invasion from Canada, it is bad
statesmanship to exhibit to the world something so
like panic. Such is the judgment of his neigh-
bours. They do not conceal what the difficulty
is. The moment has come for that decision which
must be made, sooner or later. The Western
States will continue to co-operate, or they will
withdraw, according to the behaviour of the
Government to General FIMIUNT, and to his cause
—always supposing that the proclamation is the
only charge established against him. It must soon
become clear whether General FREMONT is to be
removed or not. Meantime, the indications are
very important. He has remained in his command
for several weeks ; and the reason avowedly is,
that recruiting and every kind of aid stopped when
he was discountenanced, and has since been resumed
or stopped just as the case of the negroes has
varied in aspect at Washington. The Government
is now aware that it cannot have popular support
if it propane nothing better than a return to the
old conditions in regard to the negroes ; and we
may no doubt trace the consequences of this con-
viction in the warning to the citizens to fortify their
frontier towards Canada. But there are other signs.
The sending 1,000 Degrees for service in the
Southern expedition is the first direct adoption of
them as a party in the war. There would be no
doubt about the decision of the Government in re-
gard to the emancipation question, on which the
whole issue of the war depends, if the sense of the
whole North were taken upon it. The pro-slavery
habit of mind which prevails in the ports and at the
teat of government creates • great risk of a split.
There is no doubt about the ultimate adoption of
the generous popular policy, in which alone the
military commanders can move and do their duty ;
the doubt is whether the PRLIUDZ,NT and his ad-
visers will at once take the part they must take at
last, or endeavour to defer their decision by di.
verting popular attention from it. We must hope
that they will take the nobler part in good time.
It thus appears that though the quarrel cannot
be made up, and though the war may go on for
years, as the Circular of Messrs. Neu. well shows,
there is an alternative—that • split in either sec-
tion, or in both, may vet/ soon alter the bearings
of the strafe, and lead to some settlement not yet
proposed on any hand. Whatever the result may
be, it will be the great event of its time. There
has been much sin and folly on both sides ; and
there must be much suffering all round. Disap-
pointment and mortification are doing good already
all over the country, and it is conceivable that a
long war may be better than • ihort one. Nobody
who deserves the title of citizen doubts its being
infinitely better than such compromise as foreign
critics have taken upon themselves to recommend.

THE city of Carlisle is now attracting to itself
a strong political interest of the kind lately felt
throughout the country in the City of London, in
Plymouth, and in Lincoln. It is of great import-
ance that the result of the election impending there
should not break the continuity of the series of
Liberal successes. There is the best reason to be-
lieve that Carlisle will add to their number if the
Liberal electors do not permit themselves to be
lulled by confidence into inactivity. The frank
explanations of the Liberal candidate, the equity
and moderation of hie principles, and the tried con-
sistency of his character, have united all sec.
tions of the Liberal party around him. Mr.
EDIEVND POTTZR, although a man of large in-
telligence and great openness of mind, is not •
theorist. The course of his life has led him to
deal practically with great interests. His experi-
ence of commercial affairs is extensive enough to
recommend him to the suffrages of any mercantile
and manufacturing conatitueucy. The Liberal
party in Carlisle have shown themselves not in-
sensible of these merits, and have rallied round
their candidate with singular unanimity. Of Mr.
HODU•ON, his opponent, it were best not to speak.
Those who desire to know his political antece-
dents may find them in the recorded investi-
gations of • Committee of the House of
Commons. But damaged as his name is else-
where, local circumstances secure considerable
support for Mr. Hooosom in Carlisle, and • can-
didate of lower qualifications than Mr. Forrest
might struggle in vain against the powerful social
influences which the Couservative candidate can set
in motion. It would nevertheless appear that not
much cnntidenco is felt in the legitimate resources
of political antagonism, for Mr. HODUSON.3 party
are snatching up weapons drawn from the armoury
of old intolerance. Mr. Porrsa is well known as •
Nonconformist, and it is sought to discredit him by
reference to Ins religious belief. This is a very
short-sighted policy for any party to pursue,
for the religious liberty, won by unceasing exer-
tions from generation to generation, and now
firmly guaranteed by the constitution, is enjoyed

by all alike, and is as necessary for one form et
faith as another. Were Mr. Punta a bigot or a
persecutor, there would be some justification for
referring to his religious opinions, as the ground
of those faults. But he is too good a
Christian to despise or undervalue any
form of our common religion. We believe
that in his own neighbourhood such a cry would
not have been possible, for there he is known
as the generous supporter of every good work, by
whatever religious body it may be promoted.
The clergy of the Church of England at Man-
chester will readily acknowledge this, although
for party purposes it is desired to represent Mr.
Perms as of sectarian spirit at Carlisle. We
know, of course, too well the exigencies of the
Conservative cause in that city to expect that the
desperate tactics employed against the Liberal
candidate will be modified ; but for the sake of
liberal-minded persons who might otherwise be
deceived by artifice, we have thought it well to
place the facts before the public. All good men
should be friends of religious liberty, lest the day
come when we may have liberty without religion.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ROME OR VENICE ?

The Temps' Turin correspondent guarantees the
following as the very text of an explanation lately
given by M. Ricasoli of his reasons for persisting
in the watchword of "Rome," and not giving in
to the suggestion cf setting up " Venice "
against it :
The asylum given to the King of Naples at Rome
deprives us of half our forces. We are obliged to keep •
large army in Naples to maks war upon the brigand' ; and
we has* sot even the satisfaction of thinking that the
army is being inured to war, for it is neoesserily so
scattered as to have no opportunity of acquiring experience
in movements of large manes such as would be required in
• war with Austria. The Roman question meets us at
every turn, and it must be solar 1 before we can
take any other in hand. The refusal of France
to cut the matter short must not discourage us, nor load us
to change our line of policy. It is useless to talk of
Venice. As soon as we see • chance of gnomes in that
quarter, we will begin the war without announcing it six
months beforehand. But the Roman question must not be
settled by the sword, but by spiritual arms. We must en•
lighten public opinion in Europe,demonstrate our good right
to have Rome for our eapital,and in time the force of events
will carry us to the Capitol. The question of Venice by no
means excludes that of Rome ; as to the rst, we must act
and say little; as to Rome, we mast talk, write, and
agitate ; it is only the public opinion of Europe that will
give it to us.

PARLS, MONDAY EVENING.

There is a vague rumour, which I trust may be
confirmed, that at M. Ratazzi's second interview
with the Emperor some expressions were let fall of
a character more reassuring for Italy than the com-
munication made at the first. In short, there is
an impression abroad that his Majesty's vacillation
has, for the moment, a tendency leas favourable to
the maintenance of the temporal power—at sal
events than it had a few days ago. It must be in
rderence to this rumour that the Opinion Nationale;
in announcing M. Ratazzi's departure for Turin,
says :

The honourable President of the Italian Parliament will
take with him storms the Alps an excellent souvenir of his
reception amongst us. Let us hope, as we hear it rumoured,
that he is also the bearer of testimonials of an exalted
sympathy in favour of his country. M. de Lavalette, who
will soon leave for Rome, is charged, according to the In-
diptnetance Beige, to bring the Pope gradually to a dearer
and more reasonable understanding of his true situation.
We do not doubt that M. Lavalette has instructions in this
sense ; but all his efforts will most assuredly break down,
and we shall never get ont of the imbroglio until to the non
possumus of the Pope we oppose a more energetic non pos-
mama still, and follow it up by the recall of our troops.
Have we got to that point yet? Are we even tending to
it? The Queen of Spain's speech is calculated $o inspire
us with serious doubts on the subject.

Butlier's Correspondence, evidently speaking of
the supposed favourable change in the situation,
says that the Emperor, instead of having decidedly
pronounced in favour of the state quo at Rome, is
of opinion that the Roman question presses for •
solution and is at this moment drawing up a
scheme which he thinks will reconcile the interests
of the Papacy with those of Italy.
The news, of which we were unaware in Paris,
comes to us by ricochet all the way from Bordeaux,
where it is published in the Gironde, that on
Saturday the police made • descent upon the office
of the Courrier du Distant/le and seized all the
numbers that it could find. The Temps, in con-
firming this intelligence, states that the Courrier
du DiesaticAe is to be prosecuted for an article by
K E. Pakten, headed " Liberty as in Austria,"
in which it is insinuated that France would be too
glad to enjoy as much liberty as is accorded even
in that despotic country.
At the Bourse the Rente rose 10c. for account,

Science has just sustained a severe loss in the
death of M. Isidore Geoffroy St. Hilaire, of the
Institute, who died this morning, after a short
illness, at the age of 56, having been born at the
official residence of his father (the celebrated
Etienne Geoffroy St. Hilaire) in the Jardin des
Plantes, in 1805. He was professor of natural
history in several institutions, awl the promoter of
that great and interesting addition to the public
establishments of Paris, the Jardin d'Acclimatation,
of the governing body of which he was president up
to the time of his death.

The theatrical critic of the Opinion► Nationale,
M. Francisque Barney, publishes two very piqsiaiste
letters written to him, respectively, by M. Dion
Boucicault, the author of Colleen Bawn, and M.
d'Eunery, the well-known dramatic writer, who
adapted the leading incident of that most successful
drama for the French stage, in a piece altogether
re-written and produced, about a month ago, at the
Ambigu Comique under the title of the Lake of
Glenadon. The Lake of Glentutmt did not find much
favour at the hands of the French critics generally,
and it was, in particular, very severely cut up by
the writer of the theatrical articles in the Moniteur,
who treated it as the joint production of M. d'En-
nary and M. Boucioault. Thereupon K Bouci-
°suit wrote to the Afoniteur (which did not insert it)
the following letter, now published by the Opinion
Nationale

Hereford House, London, Oct. 28.

The Moaitear of October = contains an article on the
Lake of Glenastoit, a new dram► by M. d'Ennery. In reply
toyour censure of my part of this work, lam under the
necessity of stating that the dream which you have analysed
is alkerether M. d'Esmals, with the single exception of
the drowning some, which is of my invention.
The manager of the Ambigu Comique Theatre proposed
to me to play my Colleen Bawls in Paris, and offered me
M. d'Ennery 's assiMaaoe for its production. I cheerfully
availed myself of this opportunity of being cemented to
the Parisian public, and I seat a French translation of my
drama to the theatre. M. d'Ennery never allowed me to
take any part in the composition of the Late of Olenaston.
He did not even show me his manuscript, and never put
himself in communication with me in any way whatever.
I went to Paris for the purpose of arranging the drowning
scene, and in the hope of seeing M. d'Eouery, or at least of
obtaining some news of my work.
Having learned that my fellow labourer (ecOaborarear)
had resolved to depart entirely from my drama, I protested
in writing against this injustice. My protest met with no
answer.

I cam accept no part in the merit which the Lake of
Glemastow may have, and you will allow me, therefore, to
decline my part of your criticism concerning it.
Aoospt, monsieur, the assurance cd my most distinguished
sentiments. Diou BOUCICAULT.

Before inserting this letter M. Sarcey thought
fit to send a oopy of it to M. d'Eunery, with a re-
quest for an explanation, and he received from
that gentleman the following reply :
. _ _

Monsieur,-1 send you in great haste the information
you ask for. The manager of the Ambigu Combine later
saw a piece in Loudon. which seemed to him far from good.
but which contained a situation and • tableau that all
London admired. People rushed and struggled and fought
at the door of the English theatre to witness this scene in
the water, and the French manager conceived the idea that
he could make something of this dramatic situation.

He applied tome to adapt it for our stage. His opinion,
which, after rending H. Boucicaules piece, I entirely
shared, was that it should be completely remodelle.l, only
the lake tableau and two or three other scenes being
retained.

The rest of the work appeared to us to be written in such
• way that it would have obtained no success before a
French audience.

The task which I was to undertake constituted what the
international treaty calls—l don't very clearly know why—
"an appropriation made with good faith," and io inch •
case M. Boucleault would, according to the treaty, have
been entitled to no share whatever in the author's profits.
however, told M. Chilly that I would not so treat the
matter.

Upwards of a hundred of my works hero been played iu
London without even so much trouble being taken as to
change the name of the characters ; and nobody ever took
the trouble, either, to call upon me to pay any money.
But Franc* has an old habit of responding to English ways
oil dealing (maurais pre(t,dt's) by delicacy and courtesy,
and I would not depart from this honourable tradition._

Our ancestors, when the English and French were about
to fire bullets at one another, said, " After you, Messieurs
les Anglais." In these days, when disinterestedness and
gentlemanly feeling are in question, we s►y, " Before you,
Messieurs les Amiens."
I therefore told the manager of the Ambigu Comique
that I must be at liberty to rewrite the piece entirely in
my own way ; but that I should certainly make over to M.
Boucicault the half of that proportion of the receipt which
according to the stipulations made with the committee of
authors falls doe to the anther of every piece played at the
Ambign. I wrote the piece accordingly; you, monsieur,
know what it is ; and to enable you to judge between M.
Boucicault's production ►nd mine, I cannot do better than
seed you the translation of the English drama which was
seat to Paris by M. Boucicault himself.
M. Boncioanlt complains that he was not able to am me,
and had no opportunity of working with me.

If M. Boucicault had taken the trouble to aiklress him.
self to me directly—if he had asked me for a meeting, I
slumld hare been delighted to see him, and to have made the
acemaintance of the fortunate writer who has succeeded
in fishing up 900,000 fr., of author's rights, from the bottom
of our lake.

If he had caked me to work with him—if he bad proposed
that we should reconstruct together the drama which be
himself borrowed from a novel, my answer would have been
that the translation which he sent to Paris was his part of
the labour.

And to reassure him u to the way in which I should
deal with his piece, I should have added this Emile de
Girardin did not hesitate to confide to me a play of that
eminent authoress called Madame de Girardin, and he did
me the honour to trust to my experience as to all the alte-
rations to be made.

M. Edmund About, whose Germaine I adapted for the
theatre, would not see the piece until it was played, and
the compliments which he was pleased to pay me would
have embarrassed a humility more humble than mine

I wrote a drama from Eugene Sue's " Wandering Jew,"
and the celebrated novelist wax so satisfied with my work
that in my absence he inaisted upon a larger share of the
profits than I had required being set apart for me.
To conclude, I had the happy audacity to re•arrango a
work of our great Balac, a pities which the m►nager of
every theatre in Yarn, from the Theatre Francais down to
the Ambigu and Gkit6, had pronounced to be uorepresent•
able. You know that for the last twelve years the public
has never ceased to applaud Atercedet.
Such 111.11164 I think, might well have reassured the
English author, and IL Bon:Ocean would perhaps not have
refused to join such company.
Accept, mousieur, my warmest salutation,.

A. D'Exany.

The critic of the Opinion Nationale, having read
the two productions, expresses his opinion that—
although the Lake of Gknaston is by no means the
best thing that M. d'Enuery has done, and that
its success here is in great part due to the excellent
acting of Mdme. Jane Easter—yet it is a chef-
d'auvre in comparison with that "shapeless
monstrosity" called Colleen Baton ! I have seen
neither of the two pieces, and consequently
have no opinion as to their respective merits,
but it occurs to me that the rights of the
question between the French and English dramatist
depend upon other considerations. M. Barmy pro-
ceeds to °ensure M. Boucicault's conduct as incon-
sistent, as well as unhandsome, in repudiating hos-
tile criticism of the Lake of Gleaaston while he
receives half the author's profits. lam disposed to
think there is something to be said on the other
side, and M. Boucicault will probably find means
to say it. The money rights and the literary repu-
tation of an author are two things essentially differ-
ent in their nature, and one is surprised to see such
• champion of his country's chivalry as
K d'Ennery mixing them up together. It
is quite clear that the use of K Boucicault's
name has contributed very materially to the success
of the Lake of Gknaston in Paris, and it may well
be that K d'Ennery has borrowed the leading
idea of Colleen Bawn in such a way as to give M.
Bouoicault • legal claim to his part of the author's
rights, while, at the same time, the latter may be
justified in explaining to the public the small part
which he was allowed to take in putting the piece
upon the French stage. There is nothing discour-
teous in M. Boucicault's letter. He does not say a
word against the Lake of Gknastos ; he only desires
to make it known, since French critics have run it
down very severely, that he did not write it, and
this AL d'Ennery admits. But then M. d'Ennery
says, " I volunteered to pay you money which I
might have litigated, and therefore you are a brute
of an Englishman for not allowing your name to
be responsible for my writing." I cannot think this
either a logical or a chivalrous argument

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

An eitraorlinary general meeting of shareholders
was held at noon at the Loudon Tavern, for the purpose of
authorising the creation of capital wider the " Eastern
Counties Railway Act, 1861." Immediately after
the conclusion of the above extraordinary meeting, a
special meeting of the proprietors will be held
in ammdance with the standing orders of p•r-
Usenet, for the purpose of authorising the .4
company to subscribe • sum of moiler toward, the me
dertaking of a company intended to be incorporated in the
next seamen of parliament for the making of a line of rail•
way for the conveyers:to of cud and goods to commence at
or Dear March, in the county of Cambridge, by • junction
with the Eastern Counties Company's hue of railway, and
to terminate by a junction with the line of the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Railway Company, at or near Agleam, in the
county of York, and to raise the necessary funds for such
subeiription.
Mr. Loos, the chairman of the company, presided.
The Commis:4, in opening the proceedin e, said as re-
' prded the first object the directors that, for the
construction of the new lines required to complete the Eastern
Counties system, the stun of 1100,0001. should be raised in
preference shares of 6/. 13s. 4d., beating interest at the rite
of 41. 10s. per annum. The object had, he observed, been
virtually sanctioned at previous meetings.
The motion having been seconded,
Mr. BROWN moved, SS an amendment, that the meeting
be adjourned tall the 26th instant, and that the directors
should in the meantime issue full explanations to the share-
holders with regard to the i nteeded application of the proposed
addition to the capitaL The Eastern Counties line was now
in a very similar state loan Irish encumbered estate. (Hear.
hear.) Every farthing that was added to the capital of course
made their position worse. This proposal would if adopted
take away 20 per cent. from the present depressed dividend
of 11. 3a. 9d., for it had been admitted that the new lines
could not for some years more than pay.their working ex-
penses.
Mr. Avers, in seconding the amendment, dwelt on the
distressed condition of the company, and the folly of adding
fresh burdens on the line. The Eastern Counties Five pee
Cent. Stock stood at 106, and it would be impossible to
raise this further capital at 4i per cent, without a consider-
able sacrifice.

Mr. Box emplaned of having been treated unfairly by
the chairman at tier last meeting in his refusal to put he
(Mr. Box's) amendment, proposed for the purpose of testing
the accuracy of Moms. Quitter and Ball's statements, im-
pugoing the directors' accounts.
A SHAREHOLDER inquired where the 4i per cent. was to
come from? (Laughter.) la his opinion the proposition
should be rejected altogether.
In reply to Mr. It'LaREN,
The Omidestale stated that the proposal had the concur-
rence of the joint committee of the united companies. In
reply, he stated that be had no fear of loss from the adop-
tion of his proposal. The matter was one of necessity, and
the board had met the case in the beet manner they could.
The amendment was then put and lost, and the original
resolution was carried, with only six dismutienta.
The meeting having been made special,
The enmities's proposed • resolution authorising the
raising of 200.0001. or the formation of a line to facilitate
the conveyance of coal from the northern districts to
London. He said he knew no object of greater
importance than that ; and the three companies
would each participate in the required capital.
A considerable portion of the line would be constructed on
a dead level. Altogether, 95 miles would be made
by an independent company from March to Ai-
ken], and the entire capital wanted for that pur-
pose was 1,000,0001., towards which the three
companies before referred to would subscribe 200,00.
The object of this coal line was to compete in point of
price with water. It was estimated that the coal traffic
would yield • revenue of 200,0001. • year, and setting down
the expet SOB at 50 per cent., times would remain 100,0001.
for dividend.

•
In reply to Mr. WLARCM,
The CHAIRMAN stated that the 200,000 f. was a coatriba•
Moe from the three oompaeies.

Serjeant Ciamdti said be aloud not sanction the
giviog of 144.0001. to any unknown company. They had no
guarantee that • further sum of 200,000 f. would not be
asked to save this 1440001., and that they should uot
niti-
mately have to make the line themselves. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. TiIORPI agreed with the learned sorjeant, and
thought they were going to lend the money to a nitro.
the-wisp. If the line was to he made he did not see why
they should not convey passengers as well as coal.
Mr. ADAIR also opposed the proposition of the bald,
and moved the adjournment of the meeting.
Mr. Harr seconded the motion.
The °Zinnia= said that, unless the subscription list of
the new company was filled and its direction first-rate, they
should not subscribe 200,0031. towards its construction.
The amendment was put and lost.
The original resolution was then put and carried, after
which the meeting separated.

The following is the present rate of 4ineount in
the principal banks in Europe:—Paris and Vienna. 6 Pal
oset. ; Berlin, Frankfort, and Brussels, 4 per cent ; Loa•
den and Amsterdam, 3 per cent. ; Turin, G per cent. ; St.
Petesabang, 7 per cent.
