REVIVAL OF OXFORD RACES.--We are glad to

Races. The matter having been taken up by the energetic

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every
person having an interest in domestic or farm animals
should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching.
season. For keeping horses in good condition it is unequal-
led. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefitted by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Agri-
culturists, forwarded on application. In casks containing
448 feeds (measures enclosed), price 508., carriage paid to any
Railway Station in the United Kingdom. Post-office orders
payable to Joseph Thorley, 77, Newgate-street, London.

" XIII.

"French policy has traditions which it never can aban-
don, because they respond to the permanency of its influ-
ence. One of those traditions is, that the Alps, which are
for her a bulwark, shall not become an armed fortress
against her power. Our former Kings understood this, as
it was afterwards understood by the Republic and the first
Empire. In that national idea Henry IV. only antici-
pated Napoleon I. That great King, who was as practical
as 'he was chivalrous, knew that between France and
Austria Italy ought to extend freely and belong only to
herself."

The pamphlet then, dwelling, upon the plan of
Henry IV., which was to give Lombardy to the
Duke of Savoy, Sicily to the Venetians, and Naples
to the Pope, says :

" Thus, the same ideas are maintained throughout the
space of time when they respond to permanent interests and
to a policy as national as it is European.
" XIV.
_ _

" Has the time arrived for forming an Italian Confedera-
ion ? The most delicate point is Rome."

[The position of the other States of Italy is then
entered into, and an Italian Confederation declared
to be the best possible solution.]
"But," continues the pamphlet, "there exists an obstacle
beyond Italian and beyond European interests. It is Aus-
tria's position in Lombardy. Opposition is the basis of
Austrian policy; as Austria opposes reforms so will she op-
pose everything else."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.
Considering that the acceptances for the Chester Cupand
the Liverpool Steeplechase have been well circulated, the
betting upon those events is unprecedently dull—indeed,
speculation altogether seems to be almost at a stand still ;
and our list of prices, given below, is principally made up
from offers that were made against horses during the after-
noon. For the Derby, 500 to 25 was taken about Merry-
man, and 1,000 to 50 would have been taken about Musjid;
Electric would be backed for money at 20 to 1 but 100 to 6
continues to be the current offer against him. Beyond
what we have already said, comment would bo superfluous.

THE ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS.

'The Marquis of EXETER brought thanswere of her
litajesty to the address voted last night in answer to the
Speech from the Throne. The noble lord then read her
Majesty's answer, in which her Majesty thanked their lord-
ships fin. their dutiful address, and informed the house that
her Majesty should rely upon their most cordial efforts in
furthering the measures that may be brought wider their
consideration.

THE TAKING OP DELHI.
Earl GRANVILLE said he was anxious to make an ex-
planation of a statement he had made respecting Sir J.
Lawrence and the taking of Delhi, by which that distin-
guished officer felt himself aggrieved. He had stated, as
a proof of Lord Canning's firmness at a critical junc-
ture, that hearing that negotiations were being entered into
with the insurgents, he had at once put, a stop to them,
notwithstanding they had received the approval of Sir J.
Lawrence. It now appeared that the negotiations were not
with the insurgents generally, but with the King of Delhi,
and that there was an express stipulation that no insur-
gent was to be dealt with who had taken part in the
murder of Europeans. He begged further to say that he
had not the slightest intention to depreciate the efforts of
Sir John Lawrence in order to raise those of Lord Canning

FREE IMMIGRATION.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the free
negroes of Jamaica, complaining of the haste with which
a bill had been passed through the house touching the
labour of coolies.
The Earl of CARNARVON said the bill in question
had not yet been received in this country, but as soon as it
was, he trusted he should be in a position to give a full an-
swer to the noble and learned lord.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YEsTERDAY.)
The SPFAXER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BILLS.
On the motion of Mr. FITZROY, the following resolu-
tion was agreed to :—" That the 159th standing order be
suspended, and that no private bill be read the first time
until Wednesday next."
A great number of private bills were brought in.
INDIAN FINANCE.
Lord STANLEY gave notice that on Monday, the 14th,
he should call the attention of the house to the state of
Indian finance.
BANKRUPT AND INSOLVENT LAW.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice that on the
16th instant, he would bring in a bill to amend the laws
relating to bankrupts and insolvents._ _ •

THE TOWER OF LONDON.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that he would ask a
question as to whether the land of the Tower of London
could not be applied to better purposes than the present.
THE MILITARY AT MALTA.

Sir A. AGNEW asked the Secretary of State for War
whether a garrison order had been issued at Malta
to the effect that all guards and sentries are to pre-
sent arms to and salute the Host whenever it

may pass their respectivei;;;is. Whether her Majesty's
Government have sanctioned that order, or were prepared
to allow a similar one to be enforced in any British depen-
dency. Whether Captain Sheffield, of the 21st Royal
North British Fusiliers had been placed under arrest for
declining, as a Protestant, to comply with this order ?
Col. PEEL said that there were no orders with reference
to troops stationed at Malta, except those issued by Lord
Hill in 1837, of which he had not heard any complaint.

PORT AND HARBOUR OF GALWAY.
Lord DUNKELLIN asked the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty
whether he had any objection to lay on the table of
the house a copy of the instructions given to the com-
missioners appointed last October, by the Irish Govern-
ment, to visit and inspect the port and harbour of Galway ;
and a copy of the report presented by the commissioners
on the condition and wants of the harbour ; and to
state what steps, if any, her Majesty's Government have
taken, or propose to take, in consequence thereof ?
Sir J. PAKINGTON had received a report on the sub-
ject, and three gentlemen were appointed to inquire into
the matter, and would lay it on the table. The report was
very favourable to the facilities of the port.

THE PRINCESS CLOTILDA.—I have had the luck
to catch sight of a photograph of the Princess Clotilda,
sent from Turin to the Princess Mathilde, and by her shown
to one of her friends, who showed it to me. The face is
decidedly, a fine one, though less beautiful as yet than it
will be some ten years hence. The outline is very beautiful,
but the filling up is not perfect, nor can it be so at fifteen.
The countenance is a fine one, and has the mixture of kind-
ness and pride for which the Royal bride of Plon-Plon is
celebrated. The expression, however, is a frank and honest
one, and I can as easily conceive the eyes flashing with
indignation (which I dare say they will do often before a
month is over) as melting with benevolence. Poor little
girl 1 it is a sad thing to look on her picture and reflect
upon her destiny.—Paris Correspondent of Literary Gazelk.

NEW WORK ON STRICTURE.

Just published, Svo, in cloth, price 55., by post free, ss. 6d.,
THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
-I- URETHRA. With the Reasons why they so often
appear Incurable.
By F. B. COURTENAT, BI.R C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure-of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidenoe of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded, demonstrating his success and
explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 18.58.

MILITIA FORCE.

Col. NORTH asked the Secretary for War if there was
any truth in the rumour that it was in contemplation by
her Majesty's Government to reduce 10,000 of the present
embodied militia force ?
General PEEL said that would in a great measure de-
pend on the number of troops that would return from India.

PETITIONS.
Petitions were presented, praying that means should be
adopted to secure the better observance of the Spanish
treaty in reference to the slave trade—That the franchise be
extended to every male person of 21 years of age—For vote
by ballot, mid for Triennial Parliaments.
NEW WRIT.
-

Sir W. JOLIFFE moved fora writ to elect a member for
the University of Dublin, in the room of Mr. George Alex.
Hamilton, who has accepted the office of Steward of her
Majesty's Manor of Northstead.
POOR RATES, &c., ASSESSMENT.
Mr. WILSON asked the President of the Poor Law
Board whether it was his intention to introduce
a bill in the present session for the purpose of
subjecting properties in the occupation of the Govern-
ment and other public bodies to assessment for
the poor and other local rates, in pursuance of the recom-
mendation of the committee of the last session ; and, if so,
at what time he will be able to lay such bill upon the table?
Mr. SOTHERON-ESTCOURT said that the subject
had received the attention of the Government during the
recess, and that a statement-would be made to the house in
reference to it.

instrument for Deafness, entirely different from all others,
surpasses anything of the kind that has been, or probably
ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the
skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to heal
distinctly at church and at public assemblies; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely re •

failure as a -Political experimental-ler° was -
an-
other example of Mexican treachery. But it met
with its clue reward. The Viceroy was conquered
by his own agent or. Lieutenant. The contest be-
tween them was that of diamond cut diamond. The
inferior insincerity of A.Poptc.A..yielded before the
superior insincerity and, it must be added, the domi-
nant genius of the renowned ITURBIDE. Under the
title of the' Three Guarantees," a new Constitution
was proclaimed in 1821 by General ITURBIDE, and
a bloodless revolution triumphantly effected.
ITURBIDE, then summoned a Congress—dissolved
it—had himself proclaimed Emperor of Mexieo.
By that last act the victorious chieftain awakened
against himself a firm and ultimately overwhelming
opposition. After a reign of less than two years
he was, in 1823, driven into exile. In the year
following ITURBIDE endeavoured to reconquer his
lost dominions. Scarcely a month had passed after
his landing again upon the shores of. Mexico, when
he was captured, and " died the death " bya military
execution. Nothing now remains to Spain in the
new world but Cuba and Porto Rico. Mexico has
enjoyed, or rather suffered, since it shook off
Spanish domination, the questionable privilege of
anarchical independence. The fate of Texas, the
fate of California, is passing down the southern
trail of the range of the Rocky Mountains—from
Arispe to Durango, from Durango to .the capital,
onwards, onwards, in, the direction of Yucatan and
Guatdmala.

from the consequences of the abnormal and m,

"Is Italy to be made into a single kingdom ? history,
nature itself oppose it. Italian unity cannot be formed
without immense efforts, by military greatness or by revo-
lutionary tyranny. From the Alps to Sicily Italy is dis-
united. It may be said that absolute unity under the Ro-
man sway was an accident.
" When Napoleon I. made a kingdom of Italy he obeyed
a higher impulse than dynastic ambition; he concentrated
under his powerful hand scattered agglomerations to form
a strong and virile nationality; he thought less of founding
a kingdom than of regenerating a people.
"No one could now pick up the Iron Crown which fell
from his brow; it would be as difficult to wear as difficult
to conquer. The question, moreover, is, to restore confi-
dence to Europe by pacifying Italy, and not to incite a war
of succession.

"It is not then absolute unity' which ought to be esta •
blished in Italy, but federal union.' This idea presents
itself as the expression of a want common to all Italian
States ; it is for all of them a tradition and a solution. We
will prove it.
"In Italy confederations seem to 'arise like the natural
produce of the earth. After the Roman Empire, under the
impulsion of the Popes, by the initiative of the Medici,
those attempts were incessantly repeated. They were often
happy and glorious. The idea of confederation having once
seized upon the public mind the leaders of public opinion in
Italy strenuously endeavoured to carry it out. Pio Nono
himself was to put his seal to it. This idea first assumed
the form of a customs union, concluded on the 3d Novem-
ber, 1847, under Papal inspiration. It took a military form
when the King of Naples and the Grand Duke declared
themselves ready to unite their troops to those of Charles
Albert. Finally it was precised and formulated it its full
political bearing after the defeat of the Piedmontese army,
when, under the very eyes of the Holy Father, the project
containing the complete formula was drawn up.
" Diplomacy could not remain indifferent to an idea which
was to operate so complete a change in Europe. France
was at that moment absorbed in civil dissensions ; but Eng-
land followed with persistent sympathy the movement in
Italy. Its representative at Vienna, Lord Ponsonby, sup-
ported with his influence the project of a Confederation.'"

THAMES.

STRIPPING A SAILOR.—Jane Thomas, aged 27, of 17,
Frederick-street, St. George-in-the-East, and Joseph
Drake, cab-driver, of 7, John-street, Whitechapel, wear-
ing the badge 12,104, and driving the cab No. 3,365, were
brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing a mon-
key-jacket and one pair of sea boots, value £1 108., the
property of Richard Tuston, a seaman.

The case underwent a longinvestigation yesterday, when
the cab-driver was released on bail, and was resumed this
afternoon. The prisoners were in the shop of Mr. Hawes,
a pawnbroker, in High-street, Shadwell, and the woman
was offering a jacket and a pair of boots in pledge. Tho
sailor, Turton, was in Drake's cab, doad drunk, without
his coat and boots.

Hughes, a police-sergeaut, No. 30 K, thought there was
something wrong, and took the prisoners into custody.
Thomas Burr, nephew to Mr. Cooke, a publican, was
called for the first time, and said—" The woman Thomas
same to our house yestorday (Thursday) morning. I don't
know how she gat his coat and boots. She woman paid for
the drink."

The sailor was examined. He was so drunk yesterday
that he had to be carried into the witness-box, and Mr.
Yardley directed that ho should be removed from the court
immediately. He now said that he was so drunk yesterday
he had no recollection of what took place. He had 10s.
when he was sober, and did not know what became of it.
Mr. Yardley—Do you recollect being is the company of
that woman ?
Witness—No, I do not.

Mr. Yardloy-Lliave you a ship ?

Witness—Yes, gin I have signed articles at t 2 7s. 6d.
per month, and my ship is going away this day at twelve
o'clock.

Mr. Yardley—lt is past that hour now ; make a start at
once, proceed to the West India Dock, and join your ship;
take your coat and boots with you, speak to no one, go on
board and do your duty.

Drake was then ordered to leave the dock, and was sworn
as a witness. lie said that the woman Thomas called him
off the cab-rank to take up the sailor yesterday morning in
High-street, Shadwell, and ho was not aware the coat and
boots were stolen.

Mr. Yardley was disposed to believe the cabman, and
now he had given his evidence he might leave the court.
The woman Thomas was a notorious thief, the worst in the
district, and had been often convicted. Ho convicted the
prisoner of unlawful possession of the jacket and boots, and
sentenced her to two months' imprisonment and hard labour.

" MADEIRA.—The weather was fine, though it had been
so bad for several days previously aa.to prevent steamers
fffra coaling. The Royal Mail steitnter Armenian was put
in quarantine against the remonstrances of her captain, who
produced clean bills of health from all other ports. The
passengers on board strongly protested against the absurdity
of the Portuguese quarantine regulations, which ought not
to be tolerated by the British Government, particularly as
the island is supported principally by the English.
"It having been reported on the coast that the steamers
Rainbow and Sunbeam had been attacked by the natives.
and that the latter vessel had been captured and the cap-
tain killed, &e,, , Mr. Stewart, the purser of the Armenian,
made every inquiry of the traders, &a., at Brass, and the
report current among them was that, as the Sunbeam was
ascending the river in a very narrow part she was flied into
by the natives ; thCerlptain (Wylde) ordered all hands be-
low, and remained alone, excepting the helmsman, on deck,
and that he had been wounded in the thigh. It could not
be ascertained whether the steamer ascended or descended
the river after the attack."

CORN EXCHANGE.

A fair quantity of English wheat has come to hand coast-
wise, this week; but the receipts by land-carriage, fresh
up, to-day were limited. The show of samples, both from
Essex and Kent, was small, and the demand for good and
fino parcels ruled steady, at very low prices, to, in some in-
stances, a slight advance. When compared with last week
other descriptions sold somewhat slowly, yet the quotations
were well supported.
We had a fair inquiry for fine dry foreign wheat, at ex-
treme currencies. Low and damp parcels changed hands
slowly, on former terms.
Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were steady in
price.
There was an active inquiry for malting barley—the sup-
ply of which was limited—at full quotations. Grinding
and distilling sorts supported previous rates.
Malt realised full currencies, with a fair demand.
We had a good consumptive inquiry for oats, aid prices
had an upward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour were firm, but not dearer.

LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

TURIN, Nov. 10.

The King Victor Emmanuel, in consequence of a
very urgent representation received from the
French Government, has refused to grant permis-
sion to the Prince de Carignan to accept the re-
gency of Central Italy, which has been offered to
him.

PARIS, Nov. 11.

The Moniteur of to-day publishes a circular
issued on the sth November last by Count
Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the
diplomatic agents of the French Government abroad,
explaining the advantage of the different clauses of
the treaty of peace signed at Zurich, and stating
that France will not have to advance the amount
of the debt due by Piedmont to Austria, but will
co-operate with Piedmont in making the stipulated
payment, by certain arrangements which have been
agreed upon between France and Sardinia. France
has demanded from Sardinia the payment of sixty
millions for the expenses of the late war.
The circular further announces that the Govern-
ment of France had received assurances that the
Pope was only waiting an opportune moment to
make public certain reforms by which the Govern-
ment of the clergy would be replaced by a Govern-
ment generally composed of the laity, and which
should give to the country better guarantees for
the administration of justice, and for the control of
the public finances, by means of an Assembly
elected by the people.
1 he Moniteur of today confirms the news of the
signature of the three treaties, and adds that the
Governments of France and Austria have agreed to
promote the meeting of a Congress which will re-
ceive communication of the treaties of Zurich, and
deliberate on the means most adapted to establish
the pacification of Italy on solid and durable bases
M. Amadee Renee has died.

The Moniteur also publishes the monthly return
of the Bank of France, which shows the following
result as compared with the previous return :

VOLUNTEER CORPS.

BERMONDSEY.

Last evening a crowded meeting, convened by
the churchwardens in consequence of a requisition
signed by a large number of the inhabitants, was
held at the Star Corner Schoolroom, Bermondsey;
Mr. W.Dawell in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN having introduced the subject o:
the meeting,

Dr. CHALLICE moved the following resolution :
.That it is desirable to form a rifle corps for Bermondsey
and the adjoining parishes, and that the corps be forthwith
formed under the Act 44th George IV., sec., 54, under such
rules and regulations as may be made from time to time by
her Majesty in Council, or as may be legally made."
_ _ _

Mr. VICKERS, in supporting v the resolution,
pointed out that if an invasion should happen the
borough of Southwark was in a peculiarly exposed
position, and in the reign of William 111. had suf-
fered great ravages. They did not fear an attack,
but it was necessary that they should be in a posi-
tion to resist one—they ought all to do their best.
Some could advise, some could fight, and some
could subscribe money, and he hoped the borough
of Southwark would not be behind in this move-
ment.

Sir C. NAPIER, who was most enthusiastically re-
ceived, said he had been called an alarmist. He
was afraid when he saw the French getting up large
armies and fleets at a time wken we were so un-
prepared, but they were getting as much alarmed as
he was, and were a little better prepared. In 1857
the Whigs had paid off a large and efficient fleet,
and in 1859 the Tories had paid £lOO 000 to get
the men back again. They had a means of defence
in the Thames, but it was necessary to form an
efficient reserve corps. They did not want any par-
ticular class for riflemen, they wanted all classes.
With respect to invasion, Louis Napoleon had done
some extraordinary things, and as he had told the
Austrian Ambassador he was not satisfied with
Austria, so he might say he was not satisfied with
us. Europe was in an unsettled state. France was
armed to the teeth, and it was impossible to say
what she might do. Our army was not large, and
a great portion of it was in India. Government had
wisely availed themselves of the offer of the people
to defend themselves, and a noble offer it was.
The Government had given them arms,
and they must lay shoulder to shoulder, and show
that they could exert themselves in defence of their
country.

Mr. D. SEYMOUR, M.P., having urged the neces
pity of the movement,

A resolution was passed to the effect that a fund
should be formed for the purpose of carrying out
*ha organisation of the corps.
On the motion of Sir C. NAPIER, a vote of thanks
was passed to the chairman, and the meeting sepa-
rated.

BURNHAM (SOMERSET).

A well attended meeting was held at the Clarence
Hotel, Burnham, on Wednesday evening, for the
purpose of forming a rifle corps for that watering
place and neighbouring villages ; Mr. John Allen
in the chair.

Mr. T. B. ALLEN stated what steps he had already
taken towards the formation of a company at Burn-
ham. He had received letters approving of the
movement from Sir Alexander Hood, M.P., Sir
W. Miles, M.P., Mr. H. F. Knatchbull, M.P.,
and Mr. C. A. Mooey, M.P., Archdeacon Denison,
Lord Cavan, Mr, Northcote ; and Mr. Cross had
promised subscriptions, and the amount they would
have to start with would be about £75.

On the proposition of Mr. W. GUNTER, seconded
by Mr. J. ALLEN, a resolution vas passed to the
effect that a rifle corps be forthwith formed, to be
called " The Burnham Rifles," and that steps be
immediately taken to enrol the 45 men who had
volunteered.

The motion was carried unanimously, as were
also others appointing a committee to carry out the
necessary preliminary arrangements.
Before the meeting separated the number of
volunteers who gave in their names exceeded 50.
