CLERKEN WELL INCUMBENCY.

It might have been expected that with the election of
Mr. M`Guire to the incumbency of Clerkenwell by the
vestry board on Fridayevernng, the contest which has
agitated the whole parish for some considerable time
would have ended, at least, until a court of law had de-
cided whether the vestry had the legal right to elect, or
whether it was still
vested in the parishioners generally.
Onhowever, a placard was
.issued, signed
b the
Mr. Roberts, in which he says
Saturday,
Rev.
to the parishioners, "You will doubtless remember
that I publicly pledged my
,word to you at a meeting at
the school-rooms in Amwed-street that I would in the
event of my being elected to the vacant incumbency by
the new vestry, give you, the ratepayers, an opportunity
of exercising your right and privilegeeither to confirm or
set aside that election. Notwithstanding I have been left
in a minority by the defection of several of my ' pledged '
' supporters on the decision of the 66 members of that
vestry (who have usurped your privilege), I am not de-
barred the fulfilment cf my pledge. My committee have
now taken step', and which, be assured, with your aid,
they will follow up to the very last, to confirm for you,
if possible, that right which you as parishioners have
without opposition until now exercised for 200 years.
If they succeed in restoring to you your otherwise fer-
feited patronage, I shall then earnestly solicit your
votes to elect me to the important position of incumbent
of Clerkenwell." This
placard caused a good deal of ex-
citement, which was added to by a rumour that got into
cicculetion that nu Sunday moruiug Mr. Robots would
claim the right of preachirg in St. James's Church, to
the exclusion of the elect of the vestry, the consequence
being that yesterday, long before the commencement of
Divine Service, the church was filled in every part, the
aieqes were crowded, and there was not even standing
room. The Itev.Mr. Ford read prayers, and the Rev.
Mr. M‘Guire was in attendance in the churchwardens'
pew ready to officiate. The Rev. Mr. Roberts had taken
the precaution of being there first, and, backed by his
friends, insisted upon preaching the sermon. Mr.
wisely yielded, rather than

RAILWAY MEETINGS.

Th, half yearly meetings of all the principal railway
companies may now be considered to have terminated,
and those held during the past week have been of secon
dary importance. The dividend recommended in the re-
port, of the Great Western of Canada is at the rate of 8
per cent. per annum, which will absorb 109,2481., and
leave 8,055/. to be carried forward. The severity of the
winter is stated to have had the effect of limiting the traffic
in the early part of the year, and of increasing the wort- -
ing expenses, especially the maintenance byweanyd. B
limiting the capital expenditure, supporting re-
lationsy with neighbouring railways, and adopting strict
economy, the directors still believe that the line will in-
crease in prosperity and value. The inhabitants of
Faversham have passed resolutions in favour of the pro-
posed line from Faversham to Herne Bay. It is thought
that this project will be of great advantage to the East
Kent Company, which is expected to be opened in about
12 months. A preliminary report on the line from Dart-
mouth to Torquay has been received by the shareholders
and others interested as favourable. The directors of
the Tralee and Killarney Company express a belief that
they will shortly be in possession of the land required for
the railway, and that every endeavour will be made to
expedite the construction of the works. At the meeting
of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway the dividend de-
clared was 4 per cent. for the half-year, free of income
tax, leaving a balance of 7181. to be carried forward.
The arrangements with the Wicklow Company having
been carried out, the rent payable will secure the share-
holders in the Kingstown Company 8 per cent. per
annum, and if the receipts exceed 55,0001. a year 30
per cent, of the surplus is further available. A special
meeting is to be called, for the purpose of considering
the propriety of making some compensation to Mr. J.
Pim for his outlay and services to the Kingstown Com-
pany. It is expected that the first section of the Per-
nambuco Railway will be ready for traffic by next
Midsummer. At the date of the last advices upwards
of nine miles were ready for the permanent way. La-
bour is found to be abundant, and the general condition
of the men employed upon the works is healthy. The
progress of the works and the contracts enable the
directorr to repeat with confidence that the capital of
1,200,0001., to which the guarantee of 7 per cent, ex-
tends, will prove abundantly sufficient for the comple-
tion of the railway. The inhabitants of Huddersfield
have passed resolutions in favour of a project for making
a line from that town to the Barnsley collieries.

NAPLES.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 9th, in a leading
article on the Neapolitan question, says :—" There
is a very easy way of solving the non-intervention
difficulty. The principle of non-intervention has
been proclaimed at the Congress at Paris. Let
this principle be observed, and let the States of
Italy govern themselves in their own way ; let
Austria withdraw her troops from the Romagna,
and engage not to go beyond the frontiers assigned
to her by treaties, whatever may take place in the
peninsula ; and let England send a squadron and
France her troops, in case Austria oversteps her
boundaries. Would Austria accept such a proposi-
tion ? We may fairly answer, No. And if she
does not accept, how can she blame the interven-
tiou of the two great Western Powers in the affairs
of Naples ?
A letter from Vienna of the 6th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" There is no longer any doubt but
that th 3 Neapolitan affair will terminate in a com-
promise which will render useless the contemplated
demonstration of the Western Powers. France
has in fact declared in a note, lately delivered to
the Austrian Government, that she is ready to
submit the decision of the Neapolitan question to a
new Congress at Paris. A new note is expected
on the part of the Neapolitan Government. It
was to have appeared a week since, and it is
hoped that the delay has been caused by the Nea-
politan Government having modified the original
wording of it so as to render it more in con-
formity with the existing state of things." An-
other letter from Vienna says :—" The garrison of
Milan is to be considerably increased during the
stay of the Emperor in that city ; but this measure
is only adopted in consequence of the present gar-
rison being insufficient to perform the service re-
quired by the presence of his Majesty."

skill seems to have done its utmost.

At the present time the construction of steam propel-
lers for ordinary mercantile service seems to be attracting
more attention. The Novelty Iron Works have a very
fine working model of a propeller engine, and it is anti-
cipated that ultimately this elms of vessels will occupy
an important place in our mercantile marine. For naval
purposes its superiority is undoubted.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN•

—I have to r. qu 8 teat y,,u will silo% me,
through the medium of your columns, to correct pub.
licly an erroneous statement which appeared in so:ne of
the published reports of tae proceedings at the meeting
of depositors:held last Monday evening, which I did not
intend to notice, but now find it necessary to do so.
Mr. Wyld is there represented to have said that I
stated " that if the depositors would accept a composi-
tion of 15s. in the pound, I would pay a dividend of 5s
in the pound in the month of December, 1856, and issue
promissory notes, under the authority of the Court of
Chancery, for the payment of ss, in the pound at the end
of six months, and ss. in the pound at the end of 12
months." I called upon him after the appearance of the
reports, and reminded him that I had distinctly stated at
our interview that it was not within my province, as in-
terim manager, to make any proposal of compromise,
but that there could be no objection to my receiving
through him the views of the depositors as to some ar-
rangement ; and that in reply to his inquiries, I ex•
pressed an opinion that ss. in the pound could probably
be paid this year, and that if the crditors required so
much as lie, in the pound (that amount having been
suggested by himself), it could not be paid within 12
mouths. lat the same time called his attention to the
Bth section of the Winding-up
Amended pct, which
provides :—"That for the better getting in the estate
of any. company in respect of which an order absolute
has been or shall be made under the said act, and dis-
charging the debts thereof, and winding-up the affairs
t!aereof, it shall he lawful for the official manager of such
company, under the direction of toe master for the time
being aciimz in the winding up thereof, and on behalf
of the company, to draw, accept, make, or endorse any
bill of exchange or promissory note, and also to raise
upon the security of the assets of the company from time
to time such sum or sums of money, and in such manner,
as the master shall from time to time direct." Mr.
Wyld therespon admitted at once that the facts were as I
had stated them, and not as given in the reports, and ob-
served that the error was not his, but that of some of the
reporters ; and several persons who were present at the
meeting afterwards informed me that the account
of our interview which he (Mr. Wyld) gave in his
address to the meeting, as they understood it, agreed
with mine, and not with the reports. I find, however,
that the version given in some of the newspapers is mis-
leading credit rs, and I must therefore request you to
insert this correction.

I understand that Mr. Wyld is not at present in town
or I should apply to him to give publicity to his admix•
sion, instead of myself asking the favour of your insert.
ing this letter.—l am, sir, your most obedient servant,

THE HOLSTEIN DUCHIES.

The Nuremberg Correspondent contains the fol-
lowing letter from Frankfort, which refers to the
question of the Holstein Duchies :

"It is stated on good authority that the declara-
tion of Denmark, in reply to the notes of Prussia
and Austria, will be handed in in the commence-
ment.of next week to the cabinet of Berlin by
Baron de Bulow, and to that of Vienna by Count
de Bille Brahe. It is said that this declaration
was drawn up at Copenhagen on the 30th ult.,
and confirms the previous views of Denmark."
A Vienna correspondent of the Cologne Gazette,
writing on the same subject, says
" Count de Bille-Brahe had, on the day of his
arrival here, a lengthened interview with Count
Buol. It appears that the latter was not satisfied
with the overtures of the Danish envoy relating to
the affairs of Holstein. These overtures were of a
vory general nature, and scarcely touched on the
question at issue."

THE NEW WALLACHIAN MINISTRY.
A letter from Bucharest, of the 24th ult., gives
the following as the composition of the new Walla-
chian ministry

" Constantin Cantacuzine, President of the
Council, without portfolio ; he was Caimacan in
1848, and has held other high posts. Prince
Constantin Ghika, Minister of the Interior ; he is
the first Boyard of Wallachia ; he, alone, resisted
Prince Stirbey in 1853 and 1856 ; he is the son of
the late Hospodar Gregory Ghika, and a tried
patriot. Constantin Balatchano, Justice ; this
Boyard gave proof of great courage and indepen-
dence during the government of Prince Stirbey ;
Charles Crezzulesco, Public Worship ; Prince
Constantin Soutzo, Finance ; a man of superior
intelligence, who contributed much by his missions

PRUSSIA.

" W© are assured from a good source," says the
Bourse Gazette of Berlin, "that it is not Baron do
Koller, but Count Linningen Westerburg, who is
to replace Count Esterhazy as ambassador of Aus-
tria at Berlin."

A letter from Berlin of the sth says :—" The
Prussian Government has lately defended with n
good deal of energy at Constantinople the rights of
the Bank of Moldavia, on the ground that the
Porte has not the power to annul a concession
legally and definitively accorded by Prince Gliika.
The Prussian Government is in accord on this
point with the French Government, which defends
with no less energy the privilege of the navigation
of the Sereth and the Pruth accorded by Prince
Ghika to a French company. The Moldavian bank
was constituted yesterday, and a ministerial coun-
cillor of Prussia was chosen one of the directeirs.
It is to be supposed that this choice was not made
without the consent of the Prussian Government."

The Zeit of Berlin of the sth says :
"The examination into the affair of the robbery
of despatches goes on without interruption, and has
at length led to some result. It is said that M.
Techen, ex-Lieutenant of Police, will be brought
to trial before the Tribunal of Berlin, probably on
a charge of high treason. The trial will take place
with closed doors, and the proceedings will not be
made public."

GLOUCESTER MUSICAL PESTITAL.

GLOUCESTER, Monday.—The 123 d festival of the
Three Choirs of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester
has opened here today under the most favourable au-
spines. The weather is magnificent, and the town is
filling rapidly.
The principal vocalists are Madame Clara Novello,
Mrs. Clara Hepworth, Madame Viardot Garcia' Madame
Alboni, Mrs. Temple, Mr. and Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Sims
Reeves, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Weiss, and Mr. Gassier,
Mr. Amott, organist of Gloucester cathedral, is con-
ductor, Mr. G. Townsend Smith (Hereford) takes the
organ, and Mr. Done (Worcester) the pianoforte. The
orchestra numbers altogether 300 performers.
The programme of the week may be briefly summed
up. To-morrow there will be full cathedral service, with
a sermon by the new Bishop of the Diocese, Handel's
"Dettingen Te Deum," and "Coronation Anthetn,"and
Mendelssohn's " Hear my Prayer.' On Wednesday will
be given the " Elijah" of Mendelssohn ' • on Thursday,
the first part of Haydn's "Creation," Mozart's "Re.
quiem," selections from Mendelssohn's "St. Paul," and
Eli," with other sacred pieces; and on Friday "The
Messiah." This last is always a most attractive morning.
Everybody goes to listen to the glorious masterpiece of
Handel, and it is a fact that nearly every ticket for the
secured seats on Friday morning has already been taken.
The evening concerts came off at the Shirehall, on
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The scheme for
these is made up almost entirely of selections from old
standard operas. The first part of Tuesday's concert,is
the best selection of the series, being made up from the
works of Mozart (end especially from his opera of " Fig-
aro") and of the " Lorely" fragment (Mendelssobn),
which was given at the last Gloucester meeting. All
the chief principals sing at these concerts. Alboni does
not appear at all in the morning schemes, and the selec-
tions include some of the moat favourite and well-used
pieces from the works of Rossini, Weber, Beethoven,
' Haydn Donizetti, and Bellini. A madrigal is set down
in each night's scheme. A ball is announced to follow
the concert on Tuesday evening, and a full-dress ball on
Friday evening.
The rehearsal at the Cathedral this morning went off
admirably.

The Lord Mayor yesterday remitted a further sum of
65,000 f. to Paris for the sufferers by the inundations,
thus raising the total amount to 830,000 f., or 33,000/.
The bar t•ilver br )ugbt by the last West India steamer
has been sold at 610,, showing an advance of d. The
dollars are still on band, and it is anticipated that sales
will mot be effected for some days,

THE HOLSTEIN DUCHIES.

The Nuremberg Correspondent contains the fol-
lowing letter from Frankfort, which refers to the
question of the Holstein Duchies :

"It is stated on good authority- that the declara-
tion of Denmark, in reply to the notes of Prussia
and Austria, will be handed in in the commence-
ment of next week to the cabinet of Berlin by
Baron de Bulow, and to that of Vienna by Count
de Bille Brahe. It is said that this declaration
was drawn up at Copenhagen on the 30th ult.,
and confirms the previous views of Denmark."
A Vienna correspondent of the Cologne Gazette,
writing on the same subject, says :
" Count de Bille-Brahe had, on the day of his
arrival here, a lengthened interview with Count
Buol. It appears that the latter was not satisfied
with the overtures of the Danish envoy relating to
the affairs of Holstein. These overtures were of a
very general nature, and scarcely touched on the
question at issue."

TEE NEWWALLACHIAN MINISTRY.
A letter from Bucharest, of the 24th ult., gives
the following as the composition of the new Walla-
chian ministry :

"Constantin Cantacuzine, President of the
Council, without portfolio ; he was Caimacan in
1848, and has held other high posts. Prince
Constantin Ghika, Minister of the Interior ; he is
the first Boyard of Wallachia ; he, alone, resisted
Prince Stirbey in 1853 and 1856 ; he is the son of
the late Hospodar Gregory Ghika, and a tried
patriot. Constantin Balatchano, Justice ; this
Boyard gave proof of great courage and indepen-
dence during the government of Prince Stirbey ;
Charles Crezzulesco, Public Worship ; Prince
Constantin Soutzo, Finance ; a man of superior
intelligence, who contributed much by his missions
to Constantinople, Paris, and London, to en-
lighten those governments as to the true state of
Wallachia and the bad conduct of the last govern-
ment. He would rank in any country as a dis-
tinguished statesman. Alexander Dimitresco,
Secretary of State. He has filled the same post
with honour during the last 15 years. Gregory
Theodoro, Controller of Finance. He is a mer-
chant of the highest character, who has not yet
filled any political situation, and is the first ex-
ample of a merchant becoming a minister without
being a Boyard."

NAPLES.

A letter from Vienna of the Ist, in the Dresden
Gazette, says :—" It is well known that the reply
of the Neapolitan government has not satisfied the
Western Powers, but that, on the contrary, it has
led to fresh and more serious steps. We learn
that, in consequence of the Neapolitan note, France
and England came to an understanding for a col-
lective proceeding. They at the same time made
a communication on the subject to our government,
but it is not known whether or not the latter will

take part with them. Little is known as to the
contents of the new note which the Western
Powers have sent to Naples, but it is said to con-
tain demands which will be certainly considered
in that capital as an attack on the sovereignty of
the kingdom."
. _

Another letter from Vienna states that Count
Buol on his return from Gran on the 2d had a long
conference with the Neapolitan ambassador, Prince
Petrulla, who sent off a despatch to his government
on the same day.
London, England, 1856-09-09

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 4th publish the re-
port of the Ministers to the Queen, on which the
decree for the dissolution of the Cortes was based.
This document enters into a good deal of elaborate
and not very clear argument to prove that the con-
stitutional Cortes considerably exceeded the limits
of the powers which the Crown thought fit to con-
fide to them in calling them together ; and that
consequently they are not able to bring to a satisfac-
tory conclusion the task of modifying and amend-
ing the permanent constitution of the country.
A royal decree suppresses the tax specially im•
posed in Catalonia for the construction of roads.
The (riterio mentions that a report was current
that a decree relative to the press was about to
appear, and that it would leave the trial of press
offences to juries, increase the caution-money, &c.
The papers attach a good deal of importance to the
sending (already announced) of some Spanish ves-
sels to the Tagus. According to one of them the
chiefs of the Progressist party, and amongst them
M. Olozaga and M. Gonzales, are to meet in Madrid
in the course of the present month to deliberate on
the line to be followed by the party.

" Sir Hamilton Seymour," says the Cologne Ga-
zette, "has remitted to Count Buol a note from
his Government, which details the reasons that
prevent the immediate evacuation of Greece."

The Assembly General of the States of Hanover
were prorogued on the sth.

WEIGHING MACHINE AT THE GENERAL
POST-OFFICE.

Yesterday,- by order of the Board of Works, several
men were employed at the General Post office in St.
Martin's-le-Grand in digging UP the soil to a consi-
derable depth opposite the superintendent's cffico, on
the north side of the department, for the purpose of
fixing a gigantic weighing-machine, upon a❑ entirely
new principle. The object of this extensive work
is to enable the Post-office authorities to weigh
en masse the letters and newspapers sent daily from the
office to the provinces, a work now done in detail, at
much cost of time to the duty. When it is borne in
mind that not less than 71,000,090 of newspapers per
annum—or about 200,000 every day—pass through the
Post-office, and that the average weight of each is not
less than three ounces, t since the abolition of the
stamp duty, and that the number of " book packets,"
exclusive of newspapers, which now pass throu:2h
the London office, is at the rate of about 1,400,000 per
annul:nu, being an increase of more than a million, or of
273 per cent, on the number in 1854, and that the ave-
rage weight of each packet is from 10 ozs. to 4 ozs., it
is quite clear that the establishment of the mechanical
appliance of a weighing-machine, on. a large scale, in
such an important department, must prove a great acqui-
sition, and greatly facilitate the duty at the time when
the moments are officially of the greatest possible value.
It is expected that the machine will be fixed in about a
fortnight, all the castings having been completed under
the authority and direction of the architect to the esta-
blishment.

COLONIAL.

TEA..—Very little business has been done in this article,
large sales being advertised for to-morrow (Wednesday), a
great portion of which is Assam, and purchasers are wait-
ing the result.
SUGAR.—The demand for colonial and foreign has been
very limited, and only a few small sales by private con-
tract have been effected at about previous rates. There
are large public sales advertised during the week. In the
refined market great caution has been exercised by buyers,
and previous rates were barely sustained.
COFFEE.—The supply of all descriptions of coffee has
been very limited, and good medium qualities have been
in demand. Both Native and Plantation Ceylon realised
fully former rates.
RICE —The market has been very quiet, although for
the low qualities some inquiry took place, but other sorts
barely maintained former prices.
MM.—There has been a moderate inquiry ; very little
business, however, has been done, at about former rates.
TALLOW.—The market has been quiet, the demand hav-
ing subsided, and prioes may be quoted somewhat lower.

The marriage of John Bowes, Esq., of Streatlam
Castle, Durham, with Mdlle. de Lorne, of the Tneatre
des Varietes, in Paris, a few days ago, caused no little
sensation in the theatrical circles of that city.

The cashier and sub•cashier of the Northern of France
Railway are said to have disappeared with more than
40,0001. It is supposed the sum was obtained by the
age of shares deposited with them.

FOREIGNERS IN CHINA.

Many are the eloquent invectives which are penned
against the Chinese for their alleged hatred and con-
tempt of foreigners. We think our readers, after they
have perused the following extract from the Shanghai
correspondence of the China Mail, of the 10th of July,
will agree with us that the inactivity of the Chinese to
foreigners may not be always unreasonable :
A short time ago (at Shanghai) a Singapore-born
Chinese who had purchased a carriage, was driving on
the racecourse with his wife and children—his wife
being also a British subject, and speaking the English
language—when he was accosted in a rude and threat-
ening manner by a clerk in an English mercantile house,
aid ordered off the course under risk of having his
head broken. He preferred the former alternative,
and left the course, but appealed to the secretary or
the race committee, complaining of the uncivil treatment
he had received, and claiming the privilege of other
British subjects, of admission to the course upon payment
of the usual subscription. The reply, worded in the most
courteous language, contained a refusal on the part of the
committee, on theground that though they had no objec•
Lion to the applicant personally, still he was "a Chinese in
all respects but that of birth," and that could only
be known to acquaintances ; they were therefore,
though sorry he should be disappointed, " obliged to
include him in this particular among the inhabitants
of the place, to whom accession to the course is de•
nied." How long is such intolerance to last ?
A. valued friend, whose long residence in China, and
opportunities of observing all classes of men there,
entitle his opinion to deference, writes : "I know the
Chinese couple referred to, and consider them, jointly
and severally, irrespective of their birth, to be in their
walk and conversation, and eke intelligence, on a
par at least with the generality of clerks in mercan-
tile houses ;' and less likely to taint tha❑ to be tainted
by the frequenters of the racecourse at Shanghai."
Seriously, this exclusion of a respectable married
couple from a place of recreation for the community
residing within what is called the " foreign settlement"
in Shanghai, is a piece of wanton impertinence that
may be productive of the worst consequences in our
relations with the natives. It indicates a silly over-
bearing deportment on the part of the foreign resi-
dents that no people can tolerate without meriting
further insults.
