FRANCE.

PARIS, SATURDAY.

It is asserted that the Emperor will shortly pro-
ceed to Cherbourg, and also pay a second visit to
Chalons.

The Moniteur publishes a further long list of
addresses of congratulation to the Emperor from
the Councils General of the different departments.
As the sentiments which they express are similar
to those contained in those of which we have given
extracts, we confine ourselves to merely mentioning
the fact of their publication.
Marshal Niel, president of the council-general of
the Haute-Garonne, on opening the session, spoke
as follows :

" Since our last session great events have been
accomplished. The Emperor put himself at the
head of an army to defend the territory already in-
vaded of one of his most faithful alles, and to esta-
blish the bases of the independence of the Italian
people. The ability of his manoeuvres and the
rapidity of his success have astonished Europe, but
the world has been still more astonished at the mo-
deration of the conqueror. The French people have
nobly sustained the trial. They offered for the ex-
penses of the war much more than they were asked
for, and to the fears which the prolonged absence
of the Emperor was calculated to occasion they re-
sponded by respecting the laws more scrupulously
than at any other period. The fete of the Emperor
has been this year more than ever a national event,
and a great act of clemency has effaced the last
traces of our civil discords. Thus, in the war in
which she has just been engaged, France has in-
creased in greatness in the eyes of all—much more
by the spectacle of her union and force, than by the
glory of her victories."

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS•

A telegraphic communication was received on
Saturday, announcing that the Isle of Man cable to
St. Bee's, in Cumberland, has been successfully laid
by the staff of Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co.' under
the superintendence of Mr. Webb and Mr. Latimer
Clark. With respect to other operations, it is stated
that the Berwick, with the cable for uniting Sicily
with Malta, will leave Greenwich on Monday. It
is expected that the cable will be laid and completed
in a fortnight, and the communication with Malta
be established.
Telegraphic communication between this country
and Malta has been re-established. Some time ago
operations were commenced for the repair of the
fractured telegraphic cable between Malta and Cag-
liari, but were stopped by severe weather. The end
of a portion of this cable, distant 160 mile
'Malta, has now been landed at Marsala, on thes fro

of Sicily, and there joined to the system communi-
cating with London. The effect of this will be to

SPLENDID AURORA BOREALIS.

Last night, or rather this morning, we witnessed
for half an hour the most splendid aurora borealis
we ever beheld. On putting out our candle, we were
struck by the light appearance of the sky ; and look-
ing out of our window, which faces about N.N.W.,
we observed a bright cloud of light apparently
bordering on a darker cloud below it, and running
along the whole semicircle within our view, at a
height somewhat above the loftier houses. After
a little time, as we expected, the light cloud
began to send forth its beautiful white
coruscations, but not at first to any
great
height ; not perhaps to more than forty-five degreees
above the horizon. This was about 12.30 this
morning. In about ten minutes, however, a beau-
tiful scene commenced. The light and the perpen-
dicular streamers had extended to more than the
semicircle commanded by one side of the house,
flashing upwards from the horizon to the zenith,
and to all intermediate heights from S.W. to
E.N.E., so that the extreme columns of light on
either- side were visible even at the back
of the house, and formed a magnificent arch
over it. What was most pleasing, however,
was the extent of the very broad crimson, or
deep rose-coloured streamers, which mingled with
the white ones, though generally they were of
deepest colour where they began to be of that
colour, that is between W. and W.S.W. They
kept on, however, darting upwards and displaying
their mild roseate beauty from the whole semicircle,
and frequently also uniting above head, as has been
mentioned, in one beautiful arch. In about hg-
an hour this began to subside ; but for a full
hour there was an unusual brightness in the sky'
even illuminating the room, so that' eveiyithiPg
in it was easily seen, even the time by the watch,
though it was only a clear starlight night. From
the S. W. to W., where the rosy brilliancy began,
the appearance might frequently have been taken
for the reflection of a vast fire ; except, perhaps, for
a peculiar delicacy and softness of the tints, of which,
no description can give an adequate conception, and
because, at times, it extended to the opposite quar-
ter of the heavens. We have been particular, be.-
cause from the lateness of the hour, probably this
splendid spectacle had but few witnesses.

DISCOVERY OF A NEW ISLAND.

Capt. Eldridge of the American brig Amazon re-
ports the discovery of an island in the Pacific Ocean
several hundreds of miles from any land laid down
on the charts. In a letter dated at sea, Januarf
16, 1859, he says :—" It is in lat. 0.45 N. and long.
176.35 W. ; very low and dangerous. and is, I el-
- the last resting place of the crew of some of
the ships which have been missed in years gone by.
I ran along the lee side within pistol shot of the
beach, but it was too rough to land, and after con-
vincing myself that there were no living ep eple
upon the island, squared away again. buOn he
highest part of the island is a house, apparentlf
from pieces of a wreck, with a flag-staff at one end,,
from which still dangled the halyard block. Ne.s,
the house were several little hummucks, each
grav,i_e!
a tall, upright stone upon it, evidently the
of the poor fellows who have escaped from 17,
wreck of their vessel, and died on this dreary sr,
where, perhaps, they had spent months in val._fr
looking for a passing sail to relieve them from tne
dreary prison. '

TILE PRESS IN AUSTRIA.

A letter dated Berlin, Aug. 27, says :—The
change of Ministry in Austria, which was looked
forward to here with hopes that it would lead to a
better understanding between the two Cabinets,
has disappointed expectation. I saw two days ago
a letter written from Vienna in the beginning of July,
a short extract from which appeared in one of the pa-
pers some weeks ago. It describes the state of thral-
dom from which the press is now freed. On every
subject the editors received instructions as to how
it was to bo treated, a paternal provision against
the wear and tear of editorial brains, which the pre-
sent Minister will not discontinue. The paper for
the following day was sent to the police bureau
at midnight, and an hour afterwards was re-
turned, expurgated by the scissors of the
censor. Not only were whole articles often
cut out, but paragraphs and even single words
were condemned, and the writers had to exercise
their wits in finding words, sentences, or articles of
exactly similar length to fill up the spaces, for no
blanks were allowed to appear. There was a rich
variety of forbidden subjects. Home affairs were
naturally not to be discussed, for they concern Go-
vernment, and not the public of the newspapers.
Foreign affairs were the free field in which the edi-
torial genius could roam, provided always that he
permitted himself no unkind remarks on the doings
of friendly Sovereigns and statesmen, and avoided
everything laudatory concerning those who had the
misfortune to be in disgrace. The constituted autho-
rities, and of course the police is the first of these,
were to be spoken of with the respect due to the ser-
vants of the Emperor. As an example : a paragraph
was cut out because it complained of an obstruction
of a public thoroughfare by the piling of a large quan-
tity of fire-wood before one of the houses in the
street ; it was considered an undutiful reflection on
the activity of the police. Sometimes this care for the
public safety extended itself to the correspondent
of newspapers in other States of Germany. The
condemned scribbler was watched when he went to
post his letter ; as soon as he had committed the
rash act, a gendarme would step up to him and re-
quest hi,n to walk into the office. Then his letter
was taken out of the box and opened, and he was
required to acknowledge it. Thus self-convicted,
he was sometimes only reprimanded, but more
generally received his passport, with orders to
quit at once. This was the regime to which
M. von Hubner has put an end ; and hove
severely it was felt may be judged by the
gratitude which has followed his declara-
tion, that henceforward the preventive censure is
abolished, and newspapers only remain subject to
seizure if they transgress the well-known rules.

TO, THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—Allow me to correct an urror in the letter
of my countryman and friend Mr. Dana, which ap-
pears in your columns to-day, "that the ballots are
distinguished by colours and emblems." Coloured
ballots are certainly illegal in Massachusetts, and
I think in most of the United States.

With this exception the letter is a truthful, im-
partial, and unanswerable statement of the design,
operation, and effect of the ballot, at least in the
New England States, and I hope its publication
may in some measure correct the exaggerated state-
ments which the Ballot Society have so industri-
ously circulated in regard to this matter, and which
the hon. member for Birmingham has adorned with
an eloquence worthy a better cause. H. F. P.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

A shocking accident, which has c'eeated a pre;
found sensation among the principal families and
the, district generally, occurred on Friday afternoon
to IMrs. Harrison, wife of Mr. George Harrison,
Sedretary to the Monmouthshire Railway Company,
and resulted instantaneously in her death. Th.
deceased lady with her husband. -resided by the side
of the line, about a mile and a b.alf from Newport,
being, as well as the other members of the family,
in the habit of walking upon it whenever occasion
required. In the course of the day indicated, gr. 9.4.•
Harrison and Mr. Harrisrin had been out a she'
distance by train, and. were returning upon foot
along the railroad. Mr. Harrison, who was 40 or
50 yards in advance, had taken a side footpath,
while his ill-fated wife was walking upon the " six
foot," as the space between the up and down lines
is termed. They were within about a quarter of 3
mile of their house on an embankment between the
Malpas and the Crindan cuttings, when a down-
train from Hereford, consisting of 14 or 15 trucks
laden with timber, came upon them. Tile 'Pei%
was inconsiderable, not more than five or six ads
an hour. The engineer perceived them at 150 yan.
distance, and gave 13, loud and continuous whistle,
but without attracting the unfortunate lady's notice.
Mr. Harrison alsoturned round and made the ronli
energetic motions without avail, however, 1111,,
the train was within half a dozen yards, when she
suddenly appeared to be frightened, and join)!
from the " six_ foot," a place of comparative One 10,
to the down-line, in front of the engine. One dthe buffers. took the poor lady in the back
.01,0
knocked her forwards and down, and the n
w i"st
train passed over her with the exception of the

The supply of foreign beasts and sheep in to-day's mar-
ket was extensive, of lambs and calves only moderate.
Prices generally ruled high.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were moderately good as to number,
but very deficient in quality. Prime Scots, shorthorns, &c.,
were in fair request, at full prices, but most other breeds
moved off slowly, at late rates. The best Scots sold atfully
4s 8d per 81bs.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to about 2,000 shorthorns and
crosses, from other parts of England 700 of various breeds,
from Scotland 88 scots and crosses, and from Ireland 400
oxen and heifers.

There was a moderate number of sheep in the pens. All
breeds moved off briskly, and the quotations advanced 2d
per 81bs. Very superior old Downs having realised fully
5s 2d per 81bs.
We had a good demand for lambs, the supply of which
was seasonably good, at from 4s 8d to 6s per 81bs, being
higher rates.

This was a summons which had beeß twice adjourned in
consequence of technical objections and eirors in the par-
ticulars.

Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, stated that £4 12s. 6d. worth
of goods was supplied to a Mrs. Conquer, upon the specific
guarantee of defendant. The goods were delivered in due
course, and application made to defendant for payment.
Mr. Dunn, of Kingsland, for defendant, objected to the
guarantee, and said there was no condition on the face

SPLENDID AURORA .OREALIS•

Last night, or rather this morning, we witnessed
for half an hour the most splendid aurora borealis
we ever beheld. On putting out our candle, we'were
struck by the light appearance of the sky ; and look-
ing out of our window, which faces about N.N.W.,
we observed a bright cloud of light apparently
bordering on a darker cloud below it, and running
along the whole semicircle within our view, at a
height somewhat above the loftier houses. After
a little time, as we expected, the light cloud
began to send forth its beautiful white
coruscations, but not at first to any
great
height ; not perhaps to more than forty-five degrees
above the horizon. This was about 12.30 this
morning. In about ten minutes, however, a beau-
tiful scene commenced. The light and the perpen-
dicular streamers had extended to more than the
semicircle commanded by one side of the house,
flashing upwards from the horizon to the zenith,
and to all intermediate heights from S.W. to
E.N.E., so that the extreme columns of light on
either side were visible even at the back
of the house, and formed a magnificent arch
over it. What was most pleasing, however,
was the extent of the very broad crimson, or
deep rose-coloured streamers, which mingled with
the white ones, though generally they were of
deepest colour where they began to be of that
colour, that is between W. and W.S.W. They
kept on, however, darting upwards and displaying
their mild roseate beauty from the whole semicircle,
and frequently also uniting above head, as has been
mentioned, in one beautiful arch. In about half
an hour this began to subside ; but for a full
hour there was an unusual brightness in the sky,
even illuminating the roan, so that everything
in it was easily seen, even the time by the watch,
though it was only a clear starlight night. From
the S. W. to W., where the rosy brilliancy begot
the appearance might frequently have been taken
for the reflection of a vast fire ; except, perhaps, for
a peculiar delicacy and softness of the tints, of which
no description can give an adequate conception, and
because, at times, it extended to the opposite guar-
. ter of the heavens. We have been particular, he"
cause from the lateness of the hour, probably this
splendid spectacle had but few witnesses.

HAYMARKET THEAT.R.E.

Mrs. Charles Mathews had her benefit at this b°lls°
on Saturday evening. Trking the season of the Year
into consideration, the attendance of visitors 'w,_as
more than encouraging; the pit was crowded. T'ae
dramas on the occasion were "Tye Contested Elec-
tion" and " Masks and Faces." The excellent aFt"
ing of the beneficiare as Mrs. Honeybun ;
Eliza Weekes, her step-daughter ; of Alr•gr,
Mathews, as Dodgson, the attorney ; of
Compton, as Honeybun, the retired wholesale groee
e;
and of Mr. Buckstone, Peckover, president of tti
Blue Lambs, kept the house in continual bursts
Well
laughter. The subordinate parts were equally
sustained. In " Masks and Faces" Mrs. Charles
Mathews made a very successful first appearance
here, in the character of Peg Woffington. The scene
in poor Triplet's miserable abode, where she apps
in
food, money, and wine, was distin
in the midst of the starving family, and gives the
pa.thesi;
surpassed it maybe in feeling of another descriptio
by the merriment which followed,after the genero
burgundy had cheered the hearts of the partjt.afeui
Peg, with real joyance, joins in a jig with iriKir.
to the playing of his pitiful fiddle. This Wee na
guished for
Benjamin Webster's first appearance on his old ab a a
honoured boards for several years past, and be ng
no occasion to regret mingling for a night come_,..
it
his old friends. He was received with that hearty
welcome which no one but a long deserving ' e
acknowledged favourite of the public can ever 110,
to obtain. Mr. Webster, experienced as he is ut
these ovations, was visibly affected, and through° e
supported the well-drawn character like ,ati tr
r. -4rl,
artist. The comedy was finely sustained by Ii-
Farren Mr. Chippendale, Mr. Villiers, Mr. e

E. Fitzwilliam, Miss E. Weekes, Mrs. P°Y-Alar.

did their best to give eclat to the evening. A W°

of praise is eminently due to Mr. Buckstone, th•

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were very
inactive for wheat. In prices, however, the fluctuations
were trifling. Barley was a slow inquiry, but not cheaper.
All other spring corn moved off slowly, on former terms.
The transactions in flour were much restricted.

Throughout the Continent wheat and most other articles
have commanded very little attention on English account;
nevertheless prices have been mostly supported. Dull
advices continue to reach us from the United States.
The arrivals of English produce into the port of London
last week were limited. From abroad we received 13,820
quarters of wheat, 3,918 barley, 94,986 oats, 48 rye, 217
peas, 12 tares, 1,785 linseed, 7,988 rapeseed, 15 sundry
seeds, 270 sacks and 70 barrels of flour.
In floating cargoes of grain the transactions were some-
what limited.

The show of both English and foreign barley was li-
mited ; nevertheless, most kinds were a slow inquiry at
about last week's currency.

Malt—though in short supply—moved off slowly at late
rates,

The supply of foreign oats being very large, the oat
trade ruled heavy, and prices were 6d per quarter lower
than on Monday last. _ _ .

Beans sold slowly ; new Magazans realised 34s to 365,
and small 40s per quarter.

- .
In beans very little was passing. New grey sold at 34s
to 355, new white 40s to 42s per quarter.
All kinds of flour were a dull inquiry at barely stationery
prices.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day were
moderate, and a fair portion of the supply was of the pre-
sent year's crop in various condition. The red qualities of
new sold at from 40s to 43s ; and of the new white, 44s to
47s per quarter. The trade for all kinds was in a de-
pressed state, and prices gave way, compared with Monday
last, from Is to 2s per quarter. At that amount of depres-
sion millers purchased with extreme caution.
We were well supplied with all kinds of foreign wheat.
For even the finest qualities there was very little inquiry,
and the quotations ruled almost nominal.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Tho supplies of potatoes on offer here are moderately
good, but in very middling condition. Prime samples are
in fair request, at full prices ; but all other kinds move off
slowly, at barely late rates. Shaws, 55s to 85s, and Regents,
70s to 120 per tone.
