Should the City desire a particular Act of Parlia-
ment for the objects contemplated by Lord LINCOLN'S
Bill, we see no reason Ns by it should not be cheerfully
accorded; and we feel assured, from the known
liberality, enterprise, and humanity of our Civic
authorities, that the intentions of the Legislature
would be faithfully and honourably sustained.
The past summer, so remarkably sultry, read us
a painful lesson. The number of deaths in our
various crowded cities, especially in those parts
of them where the supply of water was defective
and the sewerage, drainage, and cleansing had been
reprehensibly neglected, was fearfully above the
average. In certain districts of London, owing
to the cesspools and stagnant masses of filth, the
pestilential fever is never absent.

The most contradictory rumours as to Portuguese

that it is impossible to place reliance on any of them.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday
The private visit of the Marquis of NORMANDY to
the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER is com-
mented on in almost all of them. The majority re-
joice at it as showing that the absence of the Noble
Marquis from the public reception on Saturday is no
proof of any alteration in the relations between Eng-
land and France. The National is outrageous at the
conduct of M. GUIZOT in acceding to the Marquis's
offer. "If M. GUIZOT had theslightest pride," says the
National, " would he not have replied to Lord Non-
MANBY—' You refused to pay your respects to the
Infanta of SPAIN, the wife of the Duke DE MONT-
PENSIER, you shall be informed hereafter when the
French Princes and Princesses will decide on re-
ceiving you.' But no ; at the first letter from the
Ambassador all the doors were thrown open to him,
and he is admitted into the private apartments. The
application for the audience was made in the evening,
and the audience was accorded the next day ! And
little is wanting but that tbere should be displayed
the heart intoxicated with joy, because the representa-
tive of England has thought fit to be presented to the
French Princes and Princesses, who were not in Paris
when he arrived there ! Ah! this is the manner Lord
PALMERSTON is held in check ! If you go on in that
way, you will go far."
The French Court is evidently annoyed at the
manner in which it has been out-manoeuvred by
Austria in the affair of the marriage of the Duke of
BORDEAUX. So intent were Louis PHILIPPE and
M. GUIZOT on securing the inheritance of the IN-
FANTA for the Duke of MONTPENSIER, that they paid
no attention to what was going on in Italy, and thus
lost the fruits of years of incessant intriguing ; for
ever since M. GUIZOT came into power he has been
endeavouring by every means to prevent the marriage
of the Duke of BORDEAUX, as the extinction of his
race would place the family of Louis Pnturrn in
the rank of legitimate Sovereigns. The following
letter from Vienna, which appears in the Presse,
shows how excessively sore the French Court feels on
this subject:—
" Many persons at Paris," says the Presse's corre-
spondent, " will probably consider the Duke de Bor-
deaux's marriage as Prince de Metternich s work. I
cannot tell you what share the Prince Chancellor may
have had in the affair. Austrian diplomacy is mysterious
enough to baffle better eyes than mine ; yet I think
that this may be supposed with some appearance of
reason. As it does not behove Austria's policy that the
Duke de Bordeaux's race be extinguished, in order that
revolutionary France may always be kept in chock by
this perpetual threat, Prince Metternich, if he has not
promoted the marriage, has, at least, suffered it to be
accomplished, recommending that matters be managed
with the utmost discretion. If the project had trans-
pired, the Imperial Cabinet would have been exposed to
the remonstrances of the Cabinet of the Tuileries, with
which it must in some way or other have complied, in
order to keep up friendly intercourse with
France by appearing to avert the Court of
Modena from the projected alliance. On the contrary,
the negotiation has been carried on with the utmost
secresy ; and when the affair was concluded Prince
Metternich got out of it in this way—he sent for M.
de Flahaut, the French Ambassador here, and commu
minted to him a letter from the Duke of Modena to the
Emperor of Austria, V' 'hereby the Duke notified to his
Imperial Majesty his eldest sister's marriage with the
Duke de Bordeaux. Prince Metternich added that the
Imperial Cabinet had known nothing whatever of the
projected alliance until the moment the Duke of Mo-
dena's letter had reached the Emperor, who had even
greatly complained to his cousin of his not having been
consulted on the subject. Such is what is repeated in
our circles, where Prince Metternich's protestations are
disbelieved by more than one. M. Guizot need not,
however, complain much ; he has obtained, by the Duke
de Montpensier's marriage, a grand diplomatic success,
which may console him for the displeasure the Duke de
Bordeaux's marriage may give him."
In this instance we imagine it is the French Am-
bassador who has been "juggled like a nut."
The Quotidienne, the Legitimist organ, thus offi-
cially announces the marriage of the Duke DE
BORDEAUX :---
" The Count de Chambord (Duke de Bordeaux)
marries the Princess Marie Therese Beatrix, of Modena,
Archduchess of Austria. The Princess of Modena,
eldest daughter of the late Duke Francis, was born on
the 14th of July, 1817, and by her father is great grand-
daughter of the Empress Marie Therese, and cousin-
german of the Emperor Ferdinand. Through her
mother she is granddaughter of Victor Emmanuel,
King of Sardinia, and niece to the present Empress of
Austria. The Duke de Levis arrived at Modena on the
3d instant, furnished with all necessary powers from
the Count de Chambord, and on the sth made a formal
demand of the hand of the Princess. The marriage was
to take place by procuration on the 7th, and on the 9th
the Princess was to go to Frohsdorff, attended by the
Duchess de Levis and the Countess de Chabannes.'
In addition to the above, the Quotidienne says—
" Our letters from Modena and Italy are filled with
details on the subject of the PI incess, who is about to
become the consort of the Count de Chambord. She is
tall and elegant, with a royal carriage and demeanour, a
most pleasingly expressive countenance, and a cultivated
understanding. Her character, her goodness, and her
gracefulness, made her the idol of her family; the whole
city of Modena regrets her departure as the Providence
of the poor, and jet they take pride and congratulation
to themselves in her new destiny. The Duchess of
Parma, the Empress Maria Louisa, came on the day of
the cer' monial to give her felicitations, and dined with
her family and her cousin."
The - following letter from the Duke DE BOR-
DEAUX to the Marquis DE PASTORET, and dated
Frohsdorff, the 28th ult., appears in the Quotidienne

"Frohsdorff, October 28.
" Monsieur le Marquis de Pastoret,—l desire that
on the occasion of my marriage, the poor may
take part in the joy with which this new
proof of the protection of heaven in my family and
myself inspire me, and it appears to me that those
of Paris have a particular right to my interest, for I
do not forget that it is in that city that I was born and
spent the first years of my life. I, in consequence, have
to. announce to you that I place at your disposal a sum
of 20,000 f., which I charge you to distribute. In the
employment of this succour you will pay attention to no
other consideration but that of the necessities and posi-
tion, more or less unfortunate, of each person, concerting
to that effect with some of my faithful friends, who will
be happy to lend me the aid of their zeal in assisting you
to fulfil my intentions. I experience only
one regret,
that of not being able to give more. When I think of
the misery that prevails at present, and of which the com-
ing winter can only augment the severity, I could desire
to have treasures to give, in order to assuage so much
suffering. lam sure that my friends will feel, as I do,
the necessity of imposing on themselves new sacrifices,
and of rendering their alms more abundant than ever.
They can do nothing more agreeable to me ; it is be-
sides a great means of keeping away from our common
and beloved country the evils which threaten her, and of
drawing down on her all the blessings that can ensure
her happiness. I repeat to you, I‘lonsieur, the assur-
ance of all my esteem and aff,ction.

It appears that there has been a secret meeting of
prelates at St. Germain en Laye. Concerning the
proceedings of this conclave there have been various
rumours, a resume of which will be found in the fol-
lowing article from the Constitutionnel :
" Several journals have occupied themselves with the
subject of the Consistory, held by our prelates on Oe

not to commence until the different corps were
ready to support him. In addition, the animation
of all the insurgents is extreme. Fears were entertaind
for some time of a certain hesitation on the part of
I)as Antas, in consequence of his letter to the Queen ;
but the reply of the latter, and the decress depriving the
principal chiefs of their titles and grades, leave no room
for amicable arrangements. It is the fate of arms that
roust decide the contest. Numerous desertions have al-
ready taken place ; the population of Lisbon awaits the
moment when the engagement is going on, to throw off
the yoke of terror which it supports with impatience.
According to the last letters that had reached Madrid
from that capital, no doubt was entertained of the
triumph of the people. The Progressist party and the
dissentient Conservatives do not conceal the vows they
offer up for the success of the insurgents of Portugal.
Mme. Munoz is furious at this spirit of faction. She was
aware that amongst the generals and certain political men
a hope was expressed to rid Spain also of a woman, who
being officially nothing in the state, yet wanted to keep
every one under her orders. She determined to have
vengeance, and demanded nothing less than the proscrip-
tion of General Narvaez, Ferrand, Roz de Olano, Cor-
dova, Cotoner, and half a dozen others, for generals are
thick enough at Madrid. After them came, it is said,
some political quarrels. The Minister of War refused
to sign the order of exclusion, and neither Penuela, nor
Fulgorio would execute it, unless on a formal mandate
from the Ministry. She then wanted to dismiss General
Sans ; but at that moment precisely, the young Queen,
dissatisfied with M. Mon, wanted to dismiss him, and the
crisis was going to become complicated. The two in-
trigues by clashing came to nothing, and Christina
broods over her rancour whilst waiting for something
better. Isturitz, however, would willingly go away, for
nobody is satisfied with him, and he is in ill humour with
every one. The slightest shock, coming from Portugal,
would fling confusion and disorder into the midst of this
political circle in disarray."
The KING and QUEEN of the FRENCII, and all the
Royal Family, left Paris on Tuesday for Compeigne.
Their journey had been deferred for one day in order
to allow of the presentation of the Marquis of N on-
MANDY to the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER.
The Bey of TUNIS arrived at Toulon on Tuesday.
He was to leave the same evening for Paris.
The Orleans and Bordeaux Railway will be re-
opened next week. The damage done to it by the
inundation of the Loire is not so great as had been
anticipated.
The Moniteur announces that the total amount of
subscriptions for the sufferers from the inundations
of the Loire was, up to Monday, 340,729 f. 85c.
The Marquis of NORMANDY has since sub-
