remember that the evidence left no room for any
other decision ; and they will do well also, instead
of wasting their sympathy on men who, but for
their own rash and wicked conduct, might now be
in the full enjoyment of life and liberty, to spare
some regret for those who have been struck down
in the sober fulfilment of every-day duty. It is of
such men as Sergeant BRETT that real heroes and
pitriots are made, not of Fenians and their fellows.

COaRESPONDENCE PEON PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Friday Eveniug.

The despatch of yesterday from Florence an-
nouncing that the Italian troops had passed the
frontier to occupy several points of the Pontifical
territory is confirmed to-day, and this is almost the
only point of information from Italy. Detach-
ments were sent towards Civita Cestellana, Orte,
Acquapendeute, and Frosinone. The regular troops
of Victor Emmanuel, to the number of 45,000 men,
are said to have taken possession of Rome.
The attention of all politicians is turned towards
Prussia. There is great contradiction in the sup-
positions and reports of the Paris papers in regard
to her. While some talk of her considering a
certain turn of affairs as a case of war, as I men-
tioned yesterday, others copy a report that M. de
Goltz, the Prussian Ambassador, has unequivocally
declared to the Marquis de Moustier that Prussia
will not, in any case, interfere with the affairs of
Italy. Be'this as it may, I believe that the most
lerfect accord exists between the French and
talian Governments. I mention this, because some
papers deny the fact. Garibaldi is stated to be at
Villa Spada at the head of 5,000 Volunteers.
Pontifical troops, 14,000 strong, are concentrated,
a portion in the interior of the town, and the
rest at the gates. The bastion is furnished with
cannon.

From Naples it is stated that the Pontifical ar-
tillery of Mont Pincio and the chateau St. Auge
had opened a murderous fire against Menotti Gari-
baldi, without however doing much injury, in con-
sequence of the very elevated position which he
occupied. The troops of Yelletri and Frosinone
had been recalled to Rome by telegraph.
One of the reports to-day is that France intends
again to propose a Congress to settle the Roman
question and the affairs of Italy generally.
You will see by this brief summary that there is
a remarkable dearth of authentic news, and indeed
there is nothing of miscellaneous interest afloat. If
there were no one would pay any attention to it,
for on this day, All Saints Day, it is the custom for
the Parisians to repair to the Cemeteries to pay a
tribute of respect to their dead relatives, and depose
immortelles over their tombs. Never was such
a mass of people seen at Pere le Chaise as were
there to-day, and probably the crowds at Mont-
martre were equally numerous. It might have been
supposed that no Parisian was left to repair to the
Exhibition, but there also thousands upon thousands
were to be seen. The Pont de Jena was 'almost
impassable. The weather, no doubt, had much
influence in producing this result. November for
once has forgotten its traditions of fog, cold, and
gloom. This has been in every respect a day of
June. The heat in the sun was really oppressive.
In addition to the crowds in all directions all the
churches have been filled. To-morrow is the day
generally observed as that for visiting the dead—
the fête des morts, but, as above stated, the affluence
at the cemeteries to-day was enormous.
The Marquis de Galliffet, who was wounded in
his duel with Prince Murat, is now quite recovered,
and bas left Paris for Clermont Ferrand to resume
the command of the Regiment of Hussars, of which
he is colonel.

The Emperor of Austria exhibits great activity.
The day before yesterday he reviewed the Turcos,
who form his Regiment of Honour. He then went
to the curious exhibition of arms and artillery in the
Place St. Thomas d'Aguin. In the evening there
was a family dinner at the Elysee, and the Emperor
afterwards went to the Italian Opera. The Em-
peror of Austria is said to have appointed the
Emperor Napoleon colonel of an Austrian regiment.
The Emperor of Russia and the Emperor Napoleon
are the only sovereigns not German who enjoy this
distinction, which is purely honorary.
A man named Jean Dimanehe, born in Hungary
in 1753 or 1754, has just died at I'eage de Rous-
sillon in the department of Isere, who was thus 114
years old. Eighty years ago this old man followed
the trade of shoeing horses at St. Rambert d'Albon.
He then went to Rousiillon, whore he made tocis
to pierce wood, and earned sufficient money to pur-
chase a life annuity, -which has been paid to him for
more than 50 years. A generous individual of the
locality paid the expenses of a handsome funeral.
The old man had no infirmity, and he died without
having been ill, in the full possession of all his
faculties, mental and bodily.
Monseigneur Benaglia, Bishop of Lodi, last week
entered into his hundredth year. His mental
faculties are in full vigour, indeed in greater power
than in his. youth. He manages all the affairs of his
diocese himself, and his memory never leaves him.
He fulfils all hs Pontifical duties, even the most
fatiguing; and, contrary to advice, does not take
sufficient rest and precaution required by his great
age. He reads and writes without using spectacles.
Monseigneur Benaglia has been Bishop for 30 years.
He is the oldest Bishop of the Episcopacy in re-
gard to years. In reference to ordination, the
oldest is the Bishop of Vercelli, who was ordained
in 1818.

The boy of 14, Lagmarie, who murdered his
master under very artful and terrible circumstances,
which I described at the time, has been tried and
convicted by the Court of Assize for the department
of Dordogne. Ilis life is spared in consideration of
his youth, and he was sentenced to 20 years' im-
prisonment, and to be under the surveillance of the
police for ten years.
Among the grand fetes in honour of the Emperor
was a grand family dinner given by the Prince and
Princess de Metternich. Only 34 guests were pre-
sent, including Baron Rothschild and other Aus-
trians of high distinction. The house of the
ambassador is one of the most splendid in Paris.
The Princess Metternich is passionately fond of
flowers, and the fete might have been called the
fete of roses, so abundant and so beautiful was the
collection which ornamented and perfumed the
apartments. One of the saloons contains a remark-
able and ancient valuable—an immense table orna-
ment, given by the Emperor Napoleon the First to
the diplomatist, the father of the present Prince.
As to the dinner, it was sumptuous in the extreme,
with viands and delicacies cooked with curious
cunning and ingenuity. Fruits of surpassing rich-
ness and flavour figured at the dessert. Rhenish
wines, Johannisberg and Tokay, in magnificent
Bohemian glasses, were served in ample quantities,
and report says that his Austrian Majesty did full
justice to them.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Friday Evening.

M the Commission Court to-day Warren was
convicted of treason-felony. The sentence was
deferred.

Three men, named Francis M'Cabe, Thomas
Cooney, and Peter M'Donnell, were arrested to-day
at a public-house in Marlborough-street. M'Cabe
was showing two revolvers to the other two men.
He was dressed in the American style. Ammuni-
tion was found on his person. He is said to answer
the description of the man who shot the two police-
men. They are still alive.

The Deegans are remanded till to-morrow.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(BEIITEB 'S TELEGRAMS.)

THE ROMA\N QUESTION.
FLORENCE, NOV. 1.

General Menabrea hag addressed the following
circular to the Italian diplomatic agents abroad,
dated 30th October :

" The September Comp 3ntion, in stipulating upon
the one hand the evacuation of the Pontifical terri-
tory by the French troops, imposed at the same time
upon Italy obligations which are heavy and very
difficult of fulfilment. We, however, accepted them
with the sincere and absolute desire to use every
effort to secure their being observed. Contrary to
the laws, and notwithstanding the reiterated
declarations of the Government, several bands have
succeeded in penetrating into the provinces of the
Pontifical States by eluding the surveillance of the
troops. But in consequence of the topographical
configuration of the territory, the considerable ex-
tent of the line which it was necessary to guard, and
taking into account the right of every citizen to
travel without hindrance, you may conceive that it
was an absolute impossibility for the corps of ob-
servation' to successfully prevent such occurrences.
The difficulties of the matter did not certainly es-
cape the penetration of the high contracting
Powers when they signed the Convention. It will
be remembered that the time fixed for the execution
of this arrangement was precisely established at a
time when a conciliation might have taken place
between the Holy See and Italy, or at least a modus
vivendi might hare been arrived at between adjoin.
ing Governments which would have rendered reci-
procal relations possible.. This hope has been de-
ceived, not indeed because the Government of the
King omitted aught which could have tended
towards the attainment of this aim, but be-
cause it always met with resistance from the Holy
See, or even sometimes her censures for having pro-
mulgated necessary laws. It is therefore not sur-
prising if the crisis which we regret has now taken
place- The Government of the Emperor, in a do-
cument published in the Moniteur, declared that
the intervention of the French troops has no object
of an hostile character towards Italy, and that the
Imperial Government did not intend by any means
to renew an occupation the entire gravity of which
it fully estimates.
" The King's Government, while highly appre-
ciating these declarations, cannot yet feel convinced
that actual circumstances rendered an act of this
character necessary.

" The Imperial Government cannot but be aware
that the September Convention was concluded
especially with a view to place the Holy See in the
usual position of all other principalities, which
should themselves provide for their own safety.
One may, in truth, assert that the spirit of the
Convention .has not always been observed in this
respect; but, be this as it may, it is a fact that the
troops enrolled by the Pontifical Government have
sufficed for the defence of their flag. But al-
though they :thus fulfilled the object assigned
to them, the Imperial Government, despite
our reiterated observations and protestations,
judged otherwise, and desired to intervene. The
formal declarations we have recently made that
we would do our utmost to prevent the invasion of
the varied bands--declarations which we have ful-
filled—have unhappily not sufficed to change so
grave a resolution.

" Public opinion. in Italy is deeply moved, and if
the population has ;tot been carried away to acts of
gravity, it is because the majority are wise, and be-
cause the country is accustomed to have full con-
fidence in the Government of a faithful King, who
guards, and will ever gwtrd, their honour at the
coat of any sacrifice whatever.
" lye have consulted the exigencies of our dig-
nity and of our intlrests. The Government, con-
sequently, has had to take upon itself the serious
responsibility of ordering the troops to cross the
frontier.

" This step can by no means be considered by
France as a hostile act. Occupying a few points
in the Papal territory, the Royal troops are in-
structed to gain the goodwill and reassure the
minds of the inhabitants, and to re-establish
quiet among the agitated population, which ad-
dresses itself from all sides to the King's Govern-
meut, invoking its protection. The troops have
orders to everywhere respect the established autho-
rity and municipalities, and to act in such manner
as to avoid any conflict likely to give rise to sub-
sequent complications.

"The situation created by the September Conven-
tion having been altered by the intervention of the
Imperial troops, the King's Government required
to guard its rights by placing itself in an identical
position with that of the other contracting Power,
and thus be able to open fresh negotiations on a
footing of perfect equality. Let us form earnest
vows that these negotiations may lead to a defini-
tive solution, which, while satisfying the legitimate
national aspiration, may at the same time secure
to the Chief of the Church the dignity 'and inde-
pendence necessary for the accomplishment of its
divine mission."

FLORENCE, Nov. 1,11 p.m.

The Official Gazette of this eTening announces
that several Pontifical soldiers, who have taken
refuge upon Italian territory, have been transferred
to Spezzia, whence they will be at liberty to return
to their homes.

The Opinione states that Garibaldi has refused
to comply with the request to withdraw, and is
fortifying his position at Monte Rotondo.
The same paper asserts that Austria has adhered
verbally in principle to the proposal of France to
call together a conference upon the Roman ques-
tion England and Prussia are said to support the
principle of non-intervention. Russia would re-
serve her decision until France had stated the ques-
tions that would be laid before the Conference.

The Rifortna says that Velletri has voted by
plebiscitum for incorporation with Italy by 4,037
votes. Not a single vote was recorded against the
proposal.

BERLIN, Nov. 2.

Baron Rothschild, of Frankfort, will, it is said,
be nominated a member of the Upper House of the
Prussian Diet as a mark of the King's confidence.

THE BRAZILIAN AND RIVER PLATE
MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, NOT. 2.

The Royal Mail Company's steamship Oneida,
Capt. Leeds, with the above mails, has arrived.
She brings 43 passengers, £62,203 specie, seven
packages diamonds, value not stated, also 638 bales
cotton, 410 barrels tapioca, 50 barrels arrowroot,
100 half.chests oranges, 22 casks wine, 2,216 bags
coffee, and 183 packages sundries.
The Oneida experienced strong northerly winds
to Pernambuco, then light S.E. trades to 4 N., light
head winds from St. Vincent to Lisbon, thence to
Southampton similar weather.

Her Majesty's ships Egmont, Narcissus, Nassau,
and Sharpshooter were at Rio de Janeiro.

BUENOS AYRES, Sept. 26.
The Varaguayan war ill drags along. The

position of the army is in no way changed. The
ironclad fleet rests at anchor between Ilumaita and
Curupaita. The Brazilians hold the Grau Chaco,
and maintain easy communication with their fleet,
although by water the Curupaity fortress cuts them
off. The bulk of the allied army is at Tuyu-Cue,
under President Mitre. Port Alegre holds his
ground at Tuyuti, and Lopez, with his forces, is in
his encampment at llumaita.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COMMENCEMENT OF TERM.

To-day being the commencement of Michaelmas
Term the Judges of the Superior Courts of West-
minster breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor at his
private midenee, Eaton-square. There were also
present the leading Q'iecu's counsel of the Chan-
cery and Common Lew bars.

At half-past one the Justices, headed by the Lord
Chancellor in his state robes, arrived at Westmin-
ster Hall, and proceeded to their respective courts,
which were shortly afterwards opened with the
usual formalities.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Mr. Justice
Lush.)

MARTIN V. MACONOCHIE-TIIE ST. ALBANS RITUAL

CASE.

Mr. James, Q.C., said he had to move the Court
to grant a rule to show cause why a prohibition
should not be accorded to stay further proceedings
which had been instituted in the case in the Court
of Appeal in the diocese of Canterbury. A charge
had been made by the Bishop of London
against the Reverend Mr. Maconochie that
he had offended against the Church Discipline
Act, and that charge had been referred to the Court
of Arches for trial. He contended that there had
been no infringement of the Act in question,
and also that the court as appointed was
not competent to try the matter, and the
present proceeding; was to test whether it wai so
or not.

The Lord Chief Justice said it appeared to him
that the charge preferred against Mr. Maconochie
was, in fact, for contradicting the directions of the
Book of Common Prayer.

Mr. James said that was so, but according to his
view of the case nothing of the kind had ever been
done.

The arguments were not concluded when the
Court rose.

The proceedings in the Courts of Exchequer and
Common Pleas were confined to motions, all of
which were devoid of public interest.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

THE JOURNEYMEN AND THE 3IASTER PRINTERS.

This was an action to recover a fortnight's wages
in lieu of notice, plaintiff being a compositor, and
defendant a master printer.
Mr. Beswick, attorney to the Society of Com-
positors, appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Taylor
representing defendant, who carries on business at
22k, Bartholomew Close.
It appeared that the present dispute was con-
sidered to be of considerable importance between
the compositors and the masters in reference to the
law of notice as regarded men engaged upon the
job. The plaintiff had been engaged by the defen-
dant's overseer upon a certain job, and when this
job was finished he was not discharged, but kept
on, and then summarily dismissed. On thepart of
the plaintiff it was urged that a job hand, if he
worked for a fortnight and was not discharged at
the end of that time, was entitled to the notice
customary to the trade. In the present case he had
worked for three weeks. For the defence it was
urged that a job was a job, and that plaintiff having
been only engaged as a job hand was not entitled
to notice.

Defendant's overseer said that be engaged plain-
tiff for a job, and continued his services after that
job was finished.
His Honour ruled that the plaintiff was entitled
to recover. If a man was engaged for a job he
made a special contract which was terminated at
the conclusion of that job. If that job only lasted
an hour, and he was continued upon other work,
he was then entitled to the usual notice, coming
within the rules. Here the plaintiff had been
continued for a second job without a second en-
gagement, and he was entitled to the ordinary
notice.
Verdict for the plaintiff, with costs.
