ATtac of the Age . —Oar main "want is protection . Not against competitive industry , but against confidential clerks , garotters , liousebreakers , iSbc . This being the case , we shall go ovt of our " \ vay for once and advertize a meritorious invention by Mr . Morse , a mechanic . It is called The Patent Door Fastener , and . is intended to do for a door that "wliicb . cannot be doae , apparently , by Locks or bolts—secure it from the sort of ' pressure from without' wbicli is a pait of the burglar ' s craft . It is neat and portable , and may be so applied as to baffle the strength and cunning of the most experienced "wearer of a crape mask . Sib Alexander Duff CTordon , according to the Globe , is likely to be appointed to tie vacant Couiraissionership of Inland Revenu-e .
The . Birmingham Cattle and Poultry Sn < r«\—The first sign of approaching Christmas may be noted in the opening of this midland exhibition of prize beasts and birds , suggestive of a hundred exquisite delicacies For tlie holiday dinner-table To read of these fatted calves ^ bullocks , sk « ep , pigs , fowls , & c , might almost make an . epicure out of a devotee from La Txappe ^ and must send those who are already epicures into a state of flavorous ^ beatification . "We cannot , of course , particularize the individual triunipis of the show , but- \ ve can state that the exhibition of live stock is reported to be of first-rate quality ; that the pigs , in particular , are illustrious ; and that the rapturous critic of the Times " especially admired the 'black pigs . "—The Rutland Agricultural Show , in connexion with which , a number of prize animals were exhibited , took place on Wednesday , when Mr . Augustus Stafibrd , M . P ., presided at the usual dinner .

Mr . Cobdest ox Foreigjt Affairs . —In reply to a letter from some local committee at Bradford , calling his attention to the non-execution of tie Treaty of Paris , Mr . Cobden , after observing that he does not see how he can act in the matter , writes : " 1 do not presume to know the precise objects of the ' Bradford Committee for Investigating State Affairs , ' but if its attention be
chiefly directed to our foreign relations , I -would venture ^ to suggest that , instead of wasting its efforts in the vain attempt to -unravel the thread of our forei gn policy , it would more / wisely apply itself t o the task of laying down ah intelligible and honest principle on which , the intercourse between this country and other nations ouglit to be carried ou . There seems to me to be signs of a growing conviction that some restraint on cur diplomacy is necessary i filid I do not thiuk it would be difficult to find a common ground on wliich a Urge amount of argument for a reform of our foreign policy might be secured among men of every shade of opinion on domestic politics .

The election returns are not yet fully completed . No tidings had reached New York of the missing boats of the Lyonnais . Some recent storms on . the lakes have been very disastrous to shipping . Cotton in firm , flour dull , and freights to British ports steadv .
The Congress. The Period For The Assembl...
THE CONGRESS . The period for the assembling of the Congress is not yet fixed . It is thought , ho w ever , that the end of the month is likely to bo the time at which the meeting will take place . The cause of the delay is to be found in the fact that the Porte has not yet decided on / the representative it will appoint . " "A statement of tlie Constitubioiincl , " soys the Globe , " as to there being no preliminary accord between all the great Powers , is not , of course , untrue , as the bad faith of Russia , admits of no doubt ns to her difference of opinion with tho Western Powers ; but the inference drawn from these remarks by some of our Paris contemporaries , to the effect that England , France , and Austria are not substantially agreed as to the execution of the treaty , is certainly giving too official a character to the statements of a paper so often repudiated by tho French Ministry .

MURMURS IN ETJROPE . Tni : Svriiss Soaclcrbiuid was tke prelude to the European movement of ISIS . The-. debi ' ck-W ^ illiam . is raising in . Neyifcliatel a new agitation for tlie repeal of the Swiss L 2 iion , and there are other prognostics of a more general movement in Enrppe : Switzerland shows iio signs of submittiDg to tlie Prussian Sonderbund . ; it holds tlie leading inembers of the conspiracy in . prison , and all the / . representations' of Austria , Bavaria , and Baden , tlie ' mediation' of France , and the ' advice' of England , do not seem to Lave softened the resolution , of the Federal
Government . JSvciy now and then yxc hear of an insurrectionary . niovemcnt in some part of Italy . Tlie Belgian people are not very-.-well content to put up with the foreign interferences that restrain their Government in the complete vindication ; of religious freedom . The Holsteiners are as little contented with Austria or Prussia ^ -svlio are npv ? , standing up for the local rights of the Ducliy , as they are with ¦ ' Demnarlc , who took away their local rights . In France we see it reported that members of the old Kepublican party are
coming forward to take some part m theelections , —to nominate their own candidates . The difficulty is , to find men who will at ouce satisfy tlie working classes , yet consentto take the oath of allegiance to tho Em-|) eror . De 31 ALiiEviLLi 3 , Dufaitrk , and Mortimer Teristaux , have been meiniouedj - —men who would do credit to a . ny assembly , but scarcely to be considered the adequate representatives of a republican party . The particular difficulty will strike Englishmen as being of an unpractical kind . In France there is a Government do facto ;
it lias lasted sufficiently long to be admitted as a political fact in France . An oath , tvc are told by tliose that use oaths , is to bo aeceptcd aninio imponcntis—in the spirit ol lnui that imposes it . Certainly tlicro are no adherents of tlie present Trench GoYcrmnent who can consider an oath to l ) c more than an obligation for the time being . The oath oi allegiance to the Emperor would lose its force as soon as ' tho party' ceased to be Ea > peror ; and there is little political virtue in being trammeled by restraints like onc-siaea oaths , imposed by those who regard tliem not-For there is no rule more sound in law , that
there cannot be a bond binding only one side . t , For tho present , however , the eft'ort oi tiie Republican parly may bo taken less ns important on its own ¦ account , than ivs a f ^ , that tlio political diaeontent in Franco 13 arriving at a point whero tho pooplo dc'siro ^ give it action .
