and it would be well if our practical philan-
thropists could devise some means for check-
ing the overcrowding which is always on the
kicrease among us, and of providing a better, more
liberal, and more constant water supply. It is a
I luestion whether it should not be made compulsory
.on the owners of houses to provide proper recep-
ttacles for a sufficient store of water proportioned to
the size of the house.

Another point upon which there is some remiss-
ness is connected with the accidental deaths. The
deaths of seven persons who were killed by horses
or carriages in the streets were registered last week
in London, a fact which reminds the reader
that the measures so often advised for the
protection of foot passengers have not yet been
adopted. A light bridge thrown over the most
dangerous of our street crossings or a tunnel under-
neath them would cost but little, and would afford
a great protection. It is only wonderful when we
look at the immense amount of traffic constantly
going on, the hurry, and bustle, and eagerness of
both drivers and passengers at sharp corners or
over transverse routes that the accidents instead of
being so frequent as they are are not more numerous.
Aged, infirm, or deaf people run very great risks, yet
such persons must pass the great thoroughfares.
It may be said that the majority of the accidents
do not happen at the crossings ; but nearly all
happen on the road itself, and those persons who
are most liable to accident, and least able to save
themselves from injury, would be just the ones to
avail themselves of the protection offered by the
bridge or the subway. We are getting so accus-

tamed to bridges above our heads and ways beneath
our feet that we need not mind having a few more,

especially when they are intended not only to pro-
mote public convenience and assist the despatch of
business, but to diminish the risks of death and

disaster.

Prince HOHENLOHE made a speech in the Lower
Ilouse at Munich on the occasion of the Zollverein
Treaties being laid before the House, and his re-
marks were characterised by some originality. He
said that the Bavarian Government did not desire
that the Southern States should enter into the North
German Confederation, and neither did it seek for
a constitutional alliance with Austria. Their policy
seeks not to be a great power themselves, nor to play
the part of a mediator between Austria and Prussia.
It is the opinion of the Government that the
Treaty of Prague prevents the entry of a single
Southern State into the Northern Confederacy.
Perhaps this opinion is shared by the Berlin autho-
rities, and hence their well-known disregard to the
stipulations of the well-known Treaty, which has
called forth such well-merited answers from the
French press, and made some former admirers look
askance at their proceedings. The approaching
visit of the Emperor of AUSTRIA to Paris has
already given rise to some excitement, and
we may expect before long to hear rumours
without end concerning its intents and
purposes, its probable success or its likely failure.
For many reasons it seems desirable that it should
take place, and if no immediate consequences ensue
the effect may be as important, if not quite so ap-
parent, as people suppose. That a good under-
standing may flourish between France and Austria
is greatly to be desired for many reasons, and it is
certain that no other means seems so likely to keep
Prussia in check, if not to circumvent her de-
signs or schemes altogether. Were the policy of
Berlin straightforward, even if ambitious beyond
bounds, it would not be so much to be apprehended,
but the tortuous character of its schemes renders
it most desirable for something to be done. We
may consider then - that the more the entente
cordiale prevails between th. two Emperors, the
ffreater will bo the misgivings of Count BISMARCK,
and the more strenuously will ho work to compass
his own ends, no matter how unwarrantable may
be the means he resorts to in desperation or
defiance.

By the arrival of the City of Paris, from New
York on September 28, we learn that the Conserva-
tive candidates have withdrawn from the Nashville
election upon learning the non-interference of
General THOMAS to enforce the laws. The fears
of a collision, which had been very general, were
therefore tranquillised. An outbreak put down by
force of arms would have been neither creditable
nor satisfactory, and the Democratic party have
probably lost little by avoiding it. In other quar-
ters they are gaining ground. In Louisiana the
election of delegates has begun, and the
Radicals apprehend a defeat. The ovations
to Generals SHERIDAN and SICKLES, who
appear to be the idols of the hour in Radical
circles, are still kept up. It is rumoured, though
with what grounds is not stated, that the long de-
ferred trial of Mr. DAVIS is to come off at Rich-
mond next month, and that Chief Justice CHASE
will preside over the court. 'We have heard re-
ports to this effect very often before, and may
therefore reasonably doubt their reliability.
From Mexico the news is not favourable to
JUAREZ. DIAz has accepted the nomination for
Presidency, and his adherents are prepared for a
" furious campaign." JUAREZ troubles himself very
little about the estimation in which he is held by
European Governments, since he persistently main-
tains his refusal to surrender MAXIMILIAN'S remains.
It is a sign of a savage and tyrannical nature to
refuse the victim's family this poor consolation.
The body has reached the capital, we are told, but
was not delivered to Admiral TEGETIIOFF, who
had determined upon returning without it. It is
useless to attempt to treat with the Mexicans in
their present semi-civilised state as with other
American or with European Governments. Such
power as they have they abuse ; and when they have
succeeded in disgusting and alienating the people o
less savage and reckless nations, they flatter them

selves that they have inspired fear and respect.

THE LATE RIGIIT HON. HORA.TIO WADDINGTON,

—The funeral of the late Right lion. Horatio Waddington
took place to-day. Mr. Waddington, whose reputation as
a scholar and whose merits as a public servant have long
been known and recognised, was some two years ago made
a Privy Councillor by the late Government, and was upon
his resignation a few weeks ago placed by the present
Government upon the list of the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council, where his extensive experience and emi-
nent abilities would, had his life been spared, have been
found most useful. It is to the credit of the Government
that his merits were thus recognised, and we understand
that, as a further testimony of the opinion entertained by
the Government of his services, his retiring pension was
increased from £l,OOO to £1,500 per annum.
FUNERAL OF SIR THOMAS TROUBEIDGE.--Sir
Thomas Troubridge was buried yesterday at Kensal-green
Cemetery. The funeral was attended by his mother, the
Dowager Lady Troubridge ; his sister, Miss Troubridge ;
his cousins, Captain Egerton, R.N., and A. Baillio Coch-
rane, M.P.; his late wife's brothers, Hay, William, Char les,
and Somerville Gurney; and others, 811 near relatives of
himself and the late Lady Troubridge, who was buried on
the 31st of August last. The funeral was quite private.
Among those who looked on was a sergeant who helped
to carry the deceased off the field of Inkerman. His death
is now ascribed to fatness of the heart, brought on by the
sedentary life he was obliged to lead in consequence of his
wounds.

THE EXPLOSION AT WOOLWICH AIISENAL.—An-
other, making the third, death has taken place in consc-
(lune() of this explosion. The boy Newby, who was 12
years of age, and lived iu Cule►nan-street, Woolwich, died
yesterday morning at the Arsenal Infirmary. The inquest
was opened to-day (Wednesday) before Mr. Carttar,
coroner for Kent. Evidence of identification of the bodies
was taken, and the investigation of the circumstances
attendins the occurrence adjourned to i future day.

UM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday Evening.
Although some of the fabrications from Rome
and Florence would make it appear that the Gari-
baldians arc proceeding successfully, yet I find,
from a careful analysis of accounts emanating from
respectable resources, that the insurrectionist bands
who had established themselves in the small town
of Bagnorea, in the province of Viterbo, have been
driven from their position by the Pontifical Zouaves,
who completely routed them after an engagement
which lasted two hours. There was no sympathy
with the insurgents on the part of the inhabitants
of Bagnorea; on the contrary, they received the
Pontifical troops with acclamations, and fraternised
with them. Seventy or eighty Garibaldians were
either killed or wounded, and 110 were made pri-
soners by the Zouaves, who had but four men
wounded. The number of the Garibaldians was
about 500.
It now appears that Garibaldi has really been
arrested a second time and conducted to Caprera.
Ile, however, contrived to issue a proclamation of a
violent character, in which he calls upon the insur-
gents to " finish the redemption of Rome by all
possible means," but telling them at the same time,
in not very obscure terms, that he does not wish to
be mixed up in the business himself, but if they
want him he presumes or reckons that they will
come and deliver him. Garibaldi, having lighted
up the torch of incendiarism,will be very contented
to remain at a distance while Rome is burning, and,
like Bombastcs Furioso, having despatched his
emissaries to do the dangerous work, ho says to
them—
Whilst 1, your gallant leader, will stay till you come back.
The state of things, as I gather from the latest
despatches and private letters, is :—ln addition to
the band of 250 insurgents which appeared a
Acquapendente, several other bands have shown
themselves at San Lorenzo, Pianale, and Bag-
norea. The latter, however, as above stated, were
speedily routed by the Pontifical Zouaves. A
column of insurgents has entered by Sora the -.Nea-
politan frontier, in the Pontifical province of Fro-
sinone. Rome is in a very disturbed state, but
political agitation is somewhat neutralised by re-
newed alarm about cholera. The garrison bad re-
ceived orders not to leave the city. It is estimated
that no less than 5,000 persons have perished from
cholera in Rome. The National Roman Junta, in
giving its resignation, intimated to Garibaldi that
this melancholy fact alone was sufficient to prevent
them from promising him any assistance in his
proposed attempt. One remarkable circumstance
seems of itself calculated to contradict the
exaggerated reports of the extent of the in-
surrection. The Government has not deemed it
of consequence to call Parliament together imme-
diately, as it was supposed would be the case, and
the period at present fixed for its meeting is the 15th
of November. It is to be remarked that the insur-
gent bands, not very numerous, if they were all
actuated with the intention of "destroying the
monster," according to the expression of Garibaldi,
are not all Garibaldians. They do not seem, in-
deed, to have any specific object. It may probably
be brigandage. At all events, the inhabitants of the
communes through which they pass seem alarmed at
them and disposed to fly from them rather than to
augment their ranks. The Pontifical troops, on the
contrary, are received like brothers, and express
satisfaction that they have come to deliver them
from the agitators. In many places the peasantry
have made offers to the Government to assist in
expelling the Garibaldians.
The King and Queen of Prussia, coming from
Sigmaringen, have arrived at Nuremberg. On
their passage through Augsburg their Majesties
were received by the King of Bavaria.
Queen Christina, the mother of the Queen of
Spain, who returned to Madrid a few days ago, is
now at the country palace of Aranjuez, where her
Majesty intends to reside for some time.
A sturgeon, " very like a whale," in regard to
the unusual length of its species, has been taken in
the river Mar-no, where, as history recoras, an
enormous turbot was captured in the reign of
Tiberius. The fishermen of Meaux have sold this
sturgeon, which is 7 feet long, to the aquarium, at
Montmartre, where it may now be seen alive.
The church of Auffay, near Dieppe, has been
nearly destroyed by lightning, the electric fluid
having communicated to the wood work of thespire.
It was nearly eleven o'clock at night when the
calamity became known, and the firemen and
many of the inhabitants hastened to give assistance.
All that they could do, however, was to prevent
the neighbouring houses from catching tire. The
spire gave way about two o'clock in the morning.
The two bells, one of which weighed about 5,0001b5.,
were completely melted. The clock was also de-
stroyed. The church was insured for 300,000 fr.
The damage done is estimated at about £4,000
sterling.
A sanguinary quarrel took place on Friday last
at Havre, between three sailors named Deblin,
Martin, and Christopher, belonging to the American
ship John Clark. They were drinking together at
an inn, and during the dispute which arose Deblin
seized a knife and threatened Martin with it.
Christopher courageously interfered to defend him,
when Deblin inflicted a serious and it is feared a
mortal wound in his stomach. Deblin, who is a
young Irishman of 24, has been arrested.
The German brigands are taking advantage of
the Garibaldian excitement to renew their audacious
depredations. The chief of the Palma band a few
days ago sent a letter to Baron de Rosis de Rossano
ordering him to send them 500 ducats, and threat-
ening, in case of refusal, to murder him and destroy
his property. The Baron treated the letter with
contempt, but Palma is not the man to be repulsed,
and a few days after the letter was sent he and his
band presented themselves at the Baron's estate of
Foresta. They ordered the peasants to bring some
straw, and after closing the blinds they set the
chateau on fire, telling the Baron's steward to send
him notice of what had taken place. The fire was
extinguished, but not before damage was done to
the amount of 30,000 f. After setting fire to this
chateau the brigands proceeded to a farm belonging
to M. Pietro Palapoli, at Olevellaro, when they
ordered the shepherd to bring out the oxen, and
they wantonly shot 15.

, Soon after three o'clock this morning thunder was
heard occasionally, the wind was particularly
violent, and rain was abundant. Shortly before
mid-day there was another storm of thunder and
lightning, accompanied by very large hailstones and
slight snow. Then came the rain again in a deluge,
and during the afternoon we had a variety of
weather from which to take our choice—sickly-
looking sunshine, hail, rain, and wind, in sudden
and tremendous gusts. The weather is of such
peculiar character as to form a general and inte-
resting subject of remark.

The cold weather is beginning to make the
fortune of the theatres. The popular play, the
" Grand Duchess of Gerolstein," reached its 150th
representation on Saturday at the Varietes. The
average nightly receipts at the last 15 perform-
ances was 5,233 f.

Monseigneur Levigerie, Archbishop of Algiers,
has returned to his diocese. During his voyage the
llermus, which conveyed him, was assailed with
a terrific storm near Minorca, and the vessel was
in great danger. On landing the Archbishop and
clergy repaired to the church, where Te Deem
was chaunted fervently.

The Court of the Leathersellers' Company on the
2d inst. elec!ed the Rev. Thos. Bromley, 31. A.., of Queen's
College, Oxford, to the head-mastership of the Rev. Abra-
ham Cello's Grammar School, Lewisham. Mr. Bromley
took a first class moderation, 185 G, and has lately as pro
tern, head mastor of Giggloswick School succeeded in re-
establishing that school in character and numbers.

ENGLISH JEWELLERY.—Referring to the remarks
of our special correspondent at the Paris Exhibition, re-
specting the untrustworthy character of the gold employed
generally by English jewellers, Mr. Edwin W. Streeter
(Hancock, Burbrook, and Co.) has for some time marked
upon his goods the particular quality of the gold, and pur-
chasers may always protect themselves by requiring the
quality of the metal to be stated on the hivoiees,—Vide
