FEDERAL REPUDIATION.—Subjoined is a corn.
munioation from one of the many sufferers by the
recent return of Pennsylvania to the path of repudiation.
The debt qi that State was contracted on the stipulation
that the dividend should be paid in gold, and on the 3d of
May last the Legislature decreed that greenbacks should
be substituted, thus, at a single blow, wiping off more
than one half of their current liabilities. Considering
that next to New York Pennsylvania is the most influen-
tial State in the Union, and that she represents one-fifth
part of the whole population that now acknowledge
the Federal Government, her example might be er
pected to operate as a warning to the investors of
Federal bonds, since it can hardly be supposed that
as a member of the Federal body she will not exert all
her weight to induce the Central Government to take the
same course that she has individually chosen. Moreover,
Indiana and Michigan have already expressed concurrence
in her views, so that altogether nearly one third of the
Northern people have ranged themselves on the side of
default. A large proportion of the New York merchants
will, doubtless, endeavour to stem the evil, but, looking at
what has already taken place oven in that State, and the
daily accumulating mass of the general debt, it would seem
impossible for the most sanguine dreamer in any country,
except Germany, to entertain a hope that such endeavour
can be successful. A correspondent writes :—I am an execu-
tor under the will of my late father, who died upwards of a
year sine; leaving the bulk of a small property in Pennsyl-
vanian bonds. Having full confidence in the stability and in-
tegrity of the State, ho left also heavy responsibilities, amply
provided for, however, had the dividends been paid in specie.
The last payment in greenbacks, realising about one-third
of the value, has, consequently, been produ.ltive of results
most serious; and, if similar payments b 2 continued, or it
the principal be not eventually paid in full, most deplorable
and ruinous consequences must necessarily ensue. I write
this, feeling it to be a duty incumbent on eves), bondholder
to give individually as much publicity as possible to losses
sustained, in the hope that the American Government will
do all in its power (whether the last payment in currency
bo a question of absolute necessity or one merely of conve-
nience) to prevent such calamitous occurrences in future,
by fulfilling their just and lawful obligations."—Timet.
EXTRAORDINARY IMPERIAL CORRESPONDENCE.---
! The fifth edition of " Corpulency, or Fat and Embonpoint
::11 Excess," having been forwarded by some wag to Napo-
leon the Third, a reply, in which the following sentence
occurs, is said to have been received by the author, Mr A.
W. Moore, M.D., of Pimlico :—" We live in the hearts of
our people, whose lightness feels not our weight, We are
satisfied with our constitution. We seek rather increase
than reduction; and at the present moment it would be a
financial blunder to meddle with the specific gravity of the
Napoleon, with which the nation is well content, and re-
cpires no change,"

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

DROUTN DE LIIIITS
DI NIGRA.
PEPOLL

A protocol following the Convention says :
" The Convention will only become executive when
the King of Italy shall have decreed the transfer
of the Capital of the Kingdom to a place subse-
quently determined upon by his Majesty."
The transfer to be effected within a term of six
months from the date of the convention.
"The present protocol will have the same force
and value as the Convention, and the ratifications
will be exchanged at the same time as those of the

Convention."

A declaration, signed by M. Dronyn de Lhuys
and the Chevalier di Nigri, dated 3d October, says
—" According to the terms of the Convention of

,he 15th September and the protocol appended

thereto, the delay for the transfer of the capital is
fixed at six months from the date of the Conven-
tion, and evacuation of the Roman States is to be
effected within the term of two years, dating from
the decree ordering the transfer of the capital.
The Italian plenipotentiaries supposed, therefore,

hat the latter measure might be taken

by ♦irtue of a decree, to be immmediately
issued by the King of Italy. This hypothesis
would make the periods from which the two mea•
sures were to date almost simultaneous.

But while, on the one hand, the Turin Cabinet
considered that so important a measure demanded
the concurrence of the Caambers and the introduc-
tion of a bill ; and on the other, the change in the
Italian Ministry caused the reopening of Parlia•
ment to be adjourned until the 24th October.

Under these circumstances the point of departure
originally fixed would no longer allow a sufficient
delay for the transfer of the capital.

The Government of the Emperor, desirous of
favouring any plan which, without altering the
arrangements of the 15th September, would tend to
facilitate its execution, consents that the delay of
six months for the removal of the Italian capital, as
well as the term of twn years for the evacuation of
Pontifical territory, shall commence from the date
of the Royal decree sanctioning the bill which will
be presented to the Italian Parliament.

The Duke de Montebello, M. Adolpe Baron Dar-
boy, and MM. Boinvilliers, Godelle, Salignac,
Fenelon, Chabrier, and Niemvertterke have been

appointed senators.

turned to Paris from his leave of absence, the ad
interim management of his department by M.

" Count de Bismark, President of the Prussian
Council of Ministers," says the Temps, " is expected
to arrive immediately in Paris. We have reason
to belLve that he will leave without delay for
Biarritz."

OLD, BUT INGENIOUS.—The Dumfries Courier
mentions the successful performance of an old and
clever swindling trick, of which an East Lothian farmer
was the victim to the tune of £35 10s. It seems that he
came to Dumfries for the purpose of purchasing a horse,
and, at his hotel, made the acquaintance of a stranger who
happened to breakfast with him. During the day he met
this individual in the market. who professed much joy at
meeting with the farmer, as he wished his help to purchase
some cattle. He had, he said, made an offer for some cattle
which a gentleman's land steward was selling, and for
which he wanted £36. The owner, however, had told the
steward that he wes not to sell them to him, as he was
affronted at the price he had offered. Under these circum-
stances the farmer was requested to buy the cattle at £36,
and to come to a certain public house and the money would
be paid. The East Lothian man readily did so, and pro-
ceeded to the public house with the steward, where the
farmor paid the £36, and got 10s. back. They were soon
joined by the man, who began bantering the land steward
that he was to get the cattle alter all. The steward and

farmer then left for the latter to get delivery of the cattle.
When they had gone a little way the land steward said
that the farmer had better go back and ask his friend what
mark he wished put ou the cattle. nig the farmer did,
but his friend had left the room. On coming down to
the steward the farmer found that he had also disappeared.
However the cattle could not so readily vanish, sod he pro.
ceeded to the lad in charge or them, and asked where his
master was. The lad pointed to a person entirely strange
to the farmer ; and, on making inquiry, the farmer found
that the cattle did not belong to the party who pretended
to sell them, and that he had been swindled out of £35 108.
THE NEW ACT ON CHIMNEY SWEEPERS.—The
above Act, passed last session, will come into opera-
tion on the Ist of November, and is to be construed as one
with the principal Act, Vic. 3 and 4, cap 85. No child under
10 is to be employed by a chimney-sweeper, nor is any
sweep, on entering a house to pursue his occupation, to
being with him any person under 16, Penalties are to be
recovered, and magistrates may commit to prison for six
months, with or without hard labour, for an offence under
this now laws

THE TEXT OF THE FRANCO-ITALIAN
CONVENTION.
PARIS, OCT. 7.
The following is the text of the Franco-Italian
Convention :

Art. 1. Italy undertakes not to attack the terri-
tory of the Pope, and even to prevent, by force, any
attack proceeding from the exterior.
Act. 2. France will withdraw her troops gradu-
ally, as the army of the Pope becomes organised.
The evacuation will nevertheless be accomplished

within two years.
Art. 3. The Italian Government will make no
protest against the organisation of a Papal army,
even composed of foreign Catholic volunteers, suffi
cient to maintain the authority of the Pope, and
tranquillity,both at home and on the frontier of the
Papal States; provided, however, that this force
does not degenerate into a means of attack against
the Italian Government.

Art. 4. Italy declares herself ready to enter into
an arrangement for assuming a proportional part
of the debt of the States of the Church.
Art. 5. The present Convention will be ratified
and the ratifications exchanged within a fortnight,
or earlier, if possible,

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day,

This being the day appointed for the hearing of applica-
tions for new music licenses, there was a very lull attend•
ance of magistrates on the bench.

Henry Hillyer Miller applied for a music licence for a
house called the Wodmari, corner of Queen-street and
Charles-square, Heaton.

License refused.
John Phillips applied for a similar license for a house
called the British Queen, Langley.place, Commercial-road.
Licence refused.
Rebecca Kennet applied for a music license for the Hoop
and Grapes. Broadway, Westminster.
An inspector of the B division of police, in answer to
questions put to him by the chairman (Mr Pownall) said
the house was frequented by soldiers and females.
License refused.
William Hammond applied for a similar license for the
Queen and Prince Albert, Park-place, Knightsbridge.
The Pclice Inspector of the division said the same de-
scription of persons frequented this house as had been men-
tioned in the last case.
License refused.
William M'llonald applied for a music license for the
Windsor Castle, No, 27, Long-acre.
Mr Sleigh, on the part of the applicant, said this was not
the first application that had been made by Mr M'Donald.
A great deal of prejudice had been imported into this case,
and he should therefore call Mr M'Donald before the bench
to deny in person many of the allegations set forth in the
petition of the churchwardensand overseers of the parish of
St. Martin's. It was stated in the petition that dog shows
and lectures on dogs were given in the house on Sunday
evenings, but this was entirely untrue, There was, he felt
assured, some vindictive persons behind the scenes, but he
hoped that the application in the present instance would be
successful.

Mr M'Donald said he had had the house nearly five
years. The first year he certainly did hold a dog show, but,
on being cautioned, he discontinued doing so, and from that
time he had not allowed such a thing in his house. He had
from that time conducted the house in a very orderly
manner.

Mr Metcalfe, for the overseers, put some questions to
Mr M'Donald., when he denied that he had had Sunday
evening dog shows in the years 1862.63.

A magistrate asked the applicant whether he had had
a pianoforte played in his house after his application for
a license had been refused.
The applicant admitted that he had in the year 18G2,
but not since.

The chairman then put the question to the bench.
License refuseJ.
Henry Sanders Lamb applied for a music license for
he Nag's Head, 343, Oxford-street.
License refused.

Music Hall Company (Limited), No. 345, Strand, extend.
ing to Wellington, Catherine, and Exeter-streets, Strand.

William Cornick applied for a licence for the Crown and
Barley Mow, Gray's-inn-road,
....

Hole in the Wall, Kirby-street, Hatton-garden.
