surd and antiquated notions. The friends of
commercial reform in France were not, however,
appalled at the obstacles in their path, but were
resolved to wage their struggle until it was trium-
phant. (Cheers.)
M. WOLOWSKI (Paris), amplifying the statement
of the last deputy, said that, although France had
yet much to accomplish before it could be said to
enjoy commercial freedom, it had, nevertheless,
made considerable progress in that direction, and
the principles of free trade had there a body of
illustrious champions, among whom were MM.
Bastiat, L. Faucher, Blanqui, de Perron, &c., who
by their eloquent and logical writings
international
demon-
strated that the only true bases of
commerce were harmony and mutual confidence—
not jealousy or antagonism.
M. MOLINAIII (Brussels) stated the advantages
that had been derived from the suspension for two
years of the imposts on coal in Belgium, and re-
commended their permanent removal. Strong in-1
fluences, he said, were at work to prevent the
application of free trade to the home manufactures
of that country, many departments of which, such
as the woollen, cotton, and iron trades, were
highly " protected," to the serious detriment of
the consumer and the persons employed in their
production. The interest taken in Belgium in the
cause of reform might be judged of from the fact
that the manufacturers of Verviers—an important
seat of industry—had furnished a contingent of
200 adherents to the Congress. M. Molinari con-
cluded by referring to the existing treaty of com-
merce between France and Belgium, regarding the
operation of which, he said, the most woeful pre-
dictions were hazarded, because it embodied an in-
fusion—infinitesimal, he thought—of free-trade
principles. These evil presages had been entirely
falsified by the event, and past experience would,
in his opinion, fully justify the Government in ad-
vancing boldly in the same direction.
Dr. BAMBERG (Berlin) described the origin and
progress of the Zollverein and the working of the
treaties concluded between that combination and
the Baltic towns, Bremen, &cc., arguing that analo-
gous commercial confederacies might be established
between other continental countries with advan-
tage to their commercial interests.
The CHAIRMAN then took the sense of the meet-
ing in favour of passing to the second branch of the
question submitted to the Congress. The decision
was unanimous for that course ; and the other
speakers who had observations to offer on the first
section were requested to hand them in in writing
to the bureau.
M. PASCAL DUPRAT (Paris) next addressed the
Conference. He passed in rapid review the vari-
ous obstacles which impede the development of un-
restricted exchanges, dividing them under the
heads of physical obstacles arising from geogra-
phical position ; political obstacles, such as mutual
jealousies, fomented by Governments ; and moral
obstacles, engendered by ignorance, prejudice, and
sectional privileges. The first class of impediments
were being fast diminished by railways, steam com-
munication, and the electric telegraph ; the second
would disappear under the operation of inventions
which seemed destined ultimately to convert
Europe into one nation. The worst antagonists of
freedom of commerce were, of course, the factions
of vested interest, who might, however, be brought
to move forward in time, though doubtless only
under compulsion. The orator then proceeded at
great length, and in a very eloquent vein, to expa-
tiate on the fundamental principles of free trade,
treating them consecutively in their commercial,
social, political, and moral aspects.
M. VANDERBRIICH (Central Agricultural Society
of Belgium) dwelt upon the incubus which weighed
down agriculture in that country in the shape of
octroi duties, and recommended the abolition of
the system of city dues, commercial taxes, and
similar imposts on trade. A. proposal of this cha-
racter had been adopted that morning in the second
section, and would be brought up at the subse-
quent sitting.
M. MULLERDORFP (Chamber of Commerce, 1,
viers) followed in support of the same views, and
combated the foolish dread that free trade would
destroy home manufactures by inundating the
countries adopting it with foreign products.
Mr. OLIVEIRA, M. P. (whose remarks were much
applauded), said he represented a very numerous
body in England, whose object it was to obtain a
reduction of the duty upon foreign wines. As he
desired to be very brief, he would hand iu for pub-
lication a paper he had prepared, having reference
to the various interests involved in this important
subject. He argued that the high duty in England
upon wines was in direct opposition to the doc-
trines of free trade. It had the effect of keeping
down the revenue upon wines ; it produced among
the English people the habit of consuming ardent
spirits, which led to much demoralisation and
crime; and it had the further injurious effect of
giving France, Spain, and Portugal, as wine-pro-
ducing countries, an argument for maintaining a
prohibitory tariff upon English manufactured ar-
ticles.
Mr. H. Borne (publisher, London) next ex-
pounded his views to the Conference on the sub-
ject of an international book post, based en prin-
ciples analogous to the system recently introduced
into England.
The Congress shortly afterwards adjourned.
The following letter from Mr. Cobden was read

just and necessary wars,' and I am afraid we are now
investing more in warlike preparations than ever we did
at any former. period of peace ; nor ca'n it be denied that
never in my experience were we, as a ration, giving so
little attention to domestic reform as at present. It need
not surprise us, then, if the improvement of the popula-
tion had not kept pace with the increase of our national
wealth. But this only tends to prove that the moral
fruits of our principles cannot be gathered by oee nation
alone. It is only when freetrade shell have become the
international code of the civilised world that its highest
blessings will be realised in the purer spirit of forbear-
ance and justice which will characterise the intercourse
of nations. And how is this consummation, so char to
the heart of every genuine Freetrrvier, to he attained I
"I bad the opportunity, a few years since, of study-
ing the position of the free-trade cause in nearly all the
countries of Europe, and it was very similar to that in
which we found it in England before the agitation of the
League. Everywhere, as with us, there were three
parties to the controversy—the Executive Government,
the Protectionists, and the public ; and everywhere, as
here, the monopolists, by pretending to represent the
interests of the public, had contrived to secure a
preponderance in the councils of the Government.
Those very fallacies, protection to nationality,' in-
dependence of foreigners,' &c., which it had required
a seven years' logical warfare to silence at home, I
found still flourished in undisputed authority in every
part of the Continent. But everywhere the Executive
Government appeared to be awakening to the conscious-
ness that its interests were identical with those of the
people at large, and that the Protectionist policy was
incompatible with the prosperity of the public revenue.
I confess that my chief hope rests on the poverty of the
Continental Governments. The continual augmentation
of their military establishments will compel them to
enter upon a reform of their tariffs, as the only mode of
enabling their peoples to support the constant increase
of expenditure. There is scarcely a country in Europe
whose revenues might not be largely augmented by
abolishing its prohibitive and modifying its protective
Custom duties. In this way a Peel or a Huskisson
could, in France, Russia, or Spain, increase the anneal
income several millions sterling, and give an indefinite
expansion to the industry and wealth of the pe pie.
"I will only take the liberty of adding that if I could
have been present at your meeting, and my opinion had
been asked as to the manner in which you may most
effectually forward the great object you have in view, my
answer would have been—By exhibiting to the surround-
ing nations the practical results of free trade in Belgium
itself. I have watched with great interest the proceed-
ings of the Belgian Association, which remind me lure
ibly of our own agitation. The speeches of your mer-
chants and manufacturers, with their practice' arguments
and homely illustrations, cannot fail to enlist the moss of
the people in your ranks. Perseverance alone is
Uece-
eery to insure success. The prosperity which will ensue
to your agriculture and manufactures, and e-pecially to
those protected industries now arrayed against you, evil
offer a more powerful argument in favour of free trade to
the ereat nations by which you are surrounded than any
that can be derived from the reasonings of the econo-
mists. Let me not, however, be supposed to underrate
the importance of your Congress. It was a noble
idea which prompted you to throw open your stately
halls to visitors from all parts of the world, thus
evincing your faith in the universality of the truth
of freeerado principles, by offering to prove their adap-
tation to the circumstances of tile earth's surface and to
the wants of every race of men. Again accept my
cerdial wish for the success of your demonstration, and

An international congress of homoeopathic doc-
tors opened to-day, and will sit till the 27th, in the
hall of the Philharmonic Society of Brussels, Rue
de I'Eveque. It is understood that the widow of
Hahnemann, the founder of the homoeopathic sys-
tem, applied to be allowed to take part in the
conference, but was refused on the ground that she
had no professional diploma. This exclusion has
provoked a rather animated discussion in certain
circles here.

THE IMPERIAL FAMILY OP FRANCE.

gee?, Desperdicio, and Jove Carineria, alias II
Panadero, or the Baker." Some years since
Dte4peidicio. for some offence or other, quitted his
country. Ha went to Stith America, and passed
the period of his exile in the practice of the tanro-
magneia among the wild bulls of the pampas. He
returned to Spy a when his "education" was com-
pleted, and he exhioited as a torero. He profited
by his dfixperience, and was soon known in Anda-
lusia as one of the most successful pupils of the
celebrated Chiclanero, and the most formidable
rival of the Salamanquiuo. He was engaged this
year in Madrid, where revolutions and coups d'etat
never interfere with such sports, except when the
principal actor, like Pucheta, engages in the equally
dangerous profession of politics, and it was then
that the Emperor's brother-in-law, the Duke of
Alba, engaged him with his cuadrilla for Bayonne.
The second espada was until lately a baker (pana-
'dero) in Seville. The rising "artists," Jose Usa
and Francisco Aragon, formed part of the troop.
The picadores, or lancemen, were Jose Munos, who
is well .known ill the towns of Andalusia ;`Pedro
Romero, a pupil of the well known Corchado ; An-
tonio Calderon, who, in spite of his sleepy air,
actually makes the spectator shudder at his auda-
cions bearing with the bull ; and Jose Trigo, who
is esteemed by the good people of Madrid as the
" classical" picador. Calderon and Munos fought
the first bull. He was a finely formed animal, with
small black herd, and short but formidable looking
Erns, eyes that moved about incessantly, and most
nimble legs. He bounded furiously out of his den
the moment the door was opened, and after a few
turns of the ring looked defyingly and fiercely at
his attackers and at the spectators. When, how-
ever, he came to a "conference" with the pica-
do, es he became more calm, an l he seemed willing
to accept a treaty of peace. The chubs would not
consent to the terms whatever these were; they
shook their gay cloaks in his face, and his fury again
returned. He attacked Cilderon's horse in the rear
and the picador was evidently unprepared for this
mode of assault. He defended himself however with
out losing his saddle, and the horse got rid of the
bull without more serious damage than a slightly
gored leg. Trigo, the second picador, apparently
annoyed at his comrade's negligence, came up at
full gallop, and rushed against the furious bull.
In a second Trigo lay sprawling on the ground,
with his horse killed beside him. Panadero and
Aragon helped him to rise, and he went in anger
in search of another quadruped. Usa planted, a
teryo, a pair of banderillas or darts in the neck of
the animal, dropping suddenly on him, and then
gliding away by the left. He succeeded well in his
feat, and was much applauded. Four pairs of dart,
were struck in the bull's neck by Usa and Chacon,
and after some further play the trumpet gave the
signal of death. Desperdicio, whose duty it was,
as first matador, to kill the bull, advanced, as is
the etiquette, to the Emperor's box, and asked
permission to do the deed. This, of course, was
accorded, and he flung his montera cap in the air,
which meant that he staked everything on one
cast. He despatched the animal in two blows.
The second bull, after a similar trial as the first,
was killed by the panadero in one stroke, which
Montes himself might have envied. The same
operations were repeated throughout, and the re-
sult was that six bulls were killed and eight horses.
By those who love and understand such displays
the fight was pronounced very good. The animals
were generally high-spirited, and the bull-fighters
showed admirable dexterity and skill. They were
repeatedly and enthusiastically applauded by the
spectators. The performance ended at six o'clock,
and the Emperor and Empress drove back to
Biarritz.
Crowds of persons failed in procuririg places in
the ring, which held about 5,000 or 6,000. They
were obliged to content themselves with such
sports as mountebanks and jugglers, et hoc genus
omne, provided for them outside. Military bands
were in attendance, and a patrol of Chasseurs and
a detachment of infantry kept the way clear

BAYONNE, SeP'e. 21.
The Emperor and Empress seem determined to
make the most of their time during their sojourn
in the Pyrenees. Excursions by laud and sea, pic-
nics, visits to remote nooks on the banks of the
Adour and the Nive, quiet family parties, much
more agreeable than the more crowded and more
formal assemblies of the Tuileries and St. Cloud,
moonlight rambles on the beach or over the rocks
and headlands of the coast, vary the monotony of
a rural life. If one may judge from appearances
the Emperor was never more happy than he has
been during his holiday at Biarritz. The complete
bull-fight so anxiously expected by everyone, and
which has attracted so many strangers to Bayonne,
took place to-day. To-morrow, if the weather
permit, a second representation of the same kind
will be given and no doubt with the same success.
This ordinarily quiet town has for the last few days
completely changed its aspect. From six o'clock
this morning until 2 in the afternoon the pleasure
trains of Bordeaux and the diligences of Pau and
Toulouse, with hardly any intermission, brought in
strangers ; and vehicles of every description, from
Dax, Mont St. Mars, and other adjacent towns and
villages disgorged their occupants in the streets of
St. Esprit and Bayonne. The Adour and Nive,
smooth and unruffled as glass, and so limpid as to
reflect with wonderful accuracy the beautiful slopes
which rise on their banks, were covered with sail-
boats and chalands, bringing the population from

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNINS.

THE TIPPERADY BANK.

It is stated that the provincial creditors of this
wretched swindle are about to make a movement
at the late head-quarters of the bank. A public
meeting, under the auspices of the Rev. Dr. Haw-
ley, au influential parish priest, is to be held
shortly in the town of Tipperary, with a view of
taking steps to prevent the frightful litigation
which threatens to swallow up any assets that may
be hereafter forthcoming. The deposits iu that
branch of the bank amounted to 70,0001., and the
creditors—chiefly small industrious farmers—are
more numerous than in any other locality.
THE HIGHWAY TO AMERICA.
The Limerick Observer of yesterday reproduces
from a New York paper (Meagher's Irish News)
the following piece of intelligence under the head
of " Good News for Ireland :"
"From our esteemed and excellent friend John B.
Harvey, of Boston, we have received a very welcome
letter, from which we think it due to our readers to give
the folluwieg extia::t :•
"' A project is now on foot to establish a line of
packets between Fall 'river and one of tie western ports
uf Ireland—Galway or Limerick. Mr. John Collins, of
Fall River, is the erieinat, .r and prime mover in this
affair, and has already received signatures among the
American merchants and bankers of this city for
$25,000 worth of stock. It is proposed to raise $lOO,OOO,
in shares of $lOO each, a -id when the stock is all sub-
scribed for to hold a meeting of the shareholders and
mature their organisation. It is intended to send one
or more agents to Ireland to solicit the co-operation of
the merchants, manufacturers, capitalists, and patriots
of that country. lam satisfied the plan is feasible, and
if carried out.to completion would be a great benefit to
Ireland. It would bring the countries into direct inter-
course, and be of great advantage to Irish manufacturer%
who are now obliged to send their wares through the
English market, which are afterwards sold here as Eng-
lish goods. Besides, I think it would be a great advan-
tage to the poor emigrant, who in most instances is
obliged to proceed to England on his way here. Mr.
Collins was here within a day or two, and got a deal of
stock taken up. He thinks he will be able to procure
the necessary amount among New England Irishmen,
and that in early spring two ships at least can be placed
on the line."

The Limerick Journal thus comments upon the
renewed prospect of an Irish American packet
station :

" We shall eagerly watch and anxiously wait for fur-
ther information as to the progress of this new line of
steamers, but we shall not indulge in any day
dreams which might only serve to illustrate the old adage
about counting unhatched chickens. We shall only
repeat, what we have already said wore than once, that
the establishment of a regular line of Irish American
steam-packets is merely a question of time and the exi-
gencies of commerce, and that it must quickly follow,
it it do not precede, the completion of the Magnetic
Sub-Atlantic Telegraph." The name of Collins, how-
ever, is one of good omen. To that energetic proprietary
belong the fleet of noble steamers, among which the Pa-
cific, the Baltic, and the ill-fated Arctic have won world-
wide reputation, and whose speed necessitated the putting
forth of England's utmost powers to maintain, not su-
premacy, but mere equality upon the ocean. The name
of Collins deserves the eternal gratitude of England for
awakening her from a fatal trance of fancied security in
her possession of the seas. We shall rejoice, if Ireland
shall incur a similar obligation to the name for awaken-
ing her from her lethargic state of inaction, and opening
up resources which her sons have hitherto made few and
feeble efforts to display."
