newspapers ; and , although he ( the speaker ) had seen many abuses made of the liberty of the press , he would rather have it exist > vith all its mischief than suffer it to be controlled one iota . ( Hear , hear . ) They mast tell tie Emperor of tie French that , before he puts down the English press , he must put down the English people ( great cheering ) ; for they would be fighting , not merely for their own Interests , but for the interests of all civilized beings in the world . " Mr . Drummond couclndcd by saying that he thought Lord Palmerston " the right man in the right place . "
Hakvest IIosie . —The old English custom of harvesthome las just been revived on the St . Giles estate , Dorsetshire , the seat of the Earl of Shaf tesbury . Having preciously entertained at a festivity of this description the peasantry on a portion of his domain in that county to the number of nearly three hundred , his Lordship last week invited those residing in the parishes of Horton , Woodlands , Sutton , and Gassage All Saints . The labourers and servants on the various farms , numbering
about three hundred and fifty , assembled during the morning in the yard adjoining the mansion of St . Giles , under the care of their respective employers , and shortly afterwards proceed ed to church , headed by a band of music . After the service , an hospitable dinner was served in a large tent . The Earl then addressed the company in terms of cordial welcome , and finally the park was thrown open , and dancing kept up with much spirits . .. ' . '¦• ¦ . ¦'¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ; ¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ ' ; '¦' .

Herat . —Notwithstanding the efforts of England , the Persian army ( according to a despatch , from Constantinople ) is actively pressing the siege of Herat . It is fortifying the environs , of which it has obtained possession after having defeated the Affghans , 6000 of whom have surrendered . Follow srsr Leader . — -A newspaper is shortly to be started in Somersetshire , the title of which is more flattering than fair to ourselves , being nothing less than The Leader ' and Somersetshireman . It / was at first stated that the journal was to be an organ of Mr . Prince and his followers in the ' Abode of Love ; ' but this has been denied .

Mr . Htoephrey Beown ; M . P ., of British Bank reputation , has , in the exercise of his magisterial capacity at Tewiesbury , condemned a man to two months' imprisonment for stealing half-a-crown ' s worth of coal . The foolish man ought to have committed depredations to the extent of some thousands , and then he would have beeasafe . . ' . -. ¦ , ' ' . . . ; .:: . -: ; " . ¦ : ' Eabthquake bj South Austbaija . : — A shock of earthquake -was distinctly felt in and around Adelaide at about a quarter past two o ' clock on Wednesday
morning , the 25 th of June . It was accompanied by a lond rumbling sound , which lasted for several seconds and gave the idea of thunder underground . It was naturally felt more in lofty houses , in some of the upper rooms of which the earthenware and even the furniture were perceptibly shaken . From the numerous letters published in the Adelaide papers , from persons resident in town and the suburban districts , it seems to have extended over a wide range . —¦ Australian and New Zealand Gazette .
General Williams and Oslvr Pacha . —In reply to some observations of Lieutenant-Colonel Simmons , " Sir W . P . Williams writes to the Times , explanatory of a remark in his published letters depreciatory of Omar Pacha ' s generalship in the Asiatic campaign : — "On the arrival of Omar Pacha to take command of the army which was intended to relieve Kars , he -wrote to the Mushir Vassif Pacha , by the hands of an aide-decamp , telling him , that ' if we stood firm for twenty days he would relieve us . ' It can easily bo imagined that we waited anxiously and worked hard during those
twenty days in expectation of the succour which Omar Pacha know while promising that he could or would not render . Selim Pacha played j the same game from Trebizond , telling us that he had an army sufficient to relieve us , and that his men were burning for advance . Wo therefore held on to the hopes inspired by these two generals , until famine had reduced the strength of our devoted little Turks , and rendered impossible nil chance of marching and cutting their way over the mountains ; and I -will venture to say that as long as a soldier of th at garrison survives , the names of those two men will bo execrated . "

MATHBsnr v . Lord Maidstone—A rule to show cause why the verdict in this action ( which was tried at the last Guildford assizes ) should not "be set aside on the grounds of misdirection , and that it waa against evidence , has been granted by l £ r . Justice Cresswell in the Court of Common Pleas . Education in the Mnasa Districts . —An interesting Report on the actual state of the population in the Mining Districts has lately leen drawn up by Mr . Hugh Seymour Tremenheere , the Commissioner appointed , under the Act of the 5 th and 6 th of Victoria , c . 99 , for the investigation of the subject . The statement offers a descriptive and statistical view of the social and educational improvement of these classes , and more especially
of the voluntary associations formed for educational purposes by their employers . It appears that the "working of the compulsory school system had proved very defective when these local combinations weTe first set . on . foot some five years ago . Until the age of ten , indeed , the children of miners were not allowed to work in mines ; and up to that time they attended the regular schools . But it happened that , when the labour of life began , education in its turn immediately ceased ; and children of eleven and twelve were found to have forgo ttea all that they had been taught in the ordinary schools . In order to cure this evil , Mr . Trernenheere succeeded , in 1851 , * ' In inducing all the principal iron and coal masters in South Staffordshire to form themselves into an association , and to provide adequate funds for offering prizes of some value ; in all the schools
of their respective neighbourhoods , to children of not less than eleven years of age . " This scheme for perpetuating or extending the period of education by means of competitive examinations was soon more widely adopted . The iron and coal masters of North Staffordshire and Shropshire formed similar associations ; and those of South Wales followed the example- Since the accession of these districts to the scheme , Mr . Tremenheere has directed his attention to the North Midland and Northern Counties with similar success ; and it appears that a system of competitive education , prolonging and extending the operation of the regular schools upon a purely voluntary system ^—and initiated so lately as the year 1851—rhas now been adopted in nearly all the mining districts of England . — 2 ) aily News .
The Firework Explosion near HuD » ERSPrEiT > . — The man who was injured by the firework explosion at Raschcliffe , near Huddersfield , of which we gave the particulars last week , has died . This makes the second death resulting from the casualty . The Great Gold Robbery . —William Pierce and James Burgess , the former once a guard , and the latter , till Wednesday night , holding a . similar office in the service of the SouthrEastern Railway Company , were on Thursday brought before the Lord Mayor , in custody of a detective officer , charged with having been concerned in a robbery of 15 , OOOJ . worth of gold from a package in its transit from London to Paris in the month of May , 1855 . They were remanded .
Fikes .- —A fire broke out yesterday morning en the premises of Mr . J . Lamparr , jeweller , 3 G , Church-street , Shoreditch , which has been attended ¦ with great loss of property . Thepremises in question were in the joint occupation of several families , the members of which were sleeping when the constable on duty pevceived the indications of fire . Before more than one or two of the inmates could be awakened , the flames had taken possession of the staircase ; the rest of the inmates then escaped by the back windows . Several houses were damaged . — Another fire occurred at the same time on the premises of Mr . Rushton , licensed victualler , Grovestreet , Deptford . The building -was nearly burnt down . In both cases insurances had been effected .
Paris Savings Bank . —The sums paid into the Paris Savings Bank last week amounted to 899 , 528 f . from 4124 depositors , of whom 497 were new , and tho reimbursements to 4 GO , 01 GL Robhery by IJani > itti The Presse d'On ' ent of Constantinople gives an account of a horrible crime , similar to those of the chauffeurs which caused such terror in Franco in 1793 : —" Four bandits wearing masks entered on the 17 th ult . the house of M . Nonna , of tho village of St . Georges , near Sulina , and , seizing liis wife , who was alone in the house at the time , summoned her to say where her husband , who -was supposed to be rich , kept his monoy concoalcd . The poor woman solemnly declared that he had no monoy secreted ; but they , not believing her , bound her hand and foot , and committed
great atrocities on her , amongst other things cutting and hacking her back and tlie fleshy parts of her person , and applying a lighted candle to her bosom . Whilst they woro thus treating tho woman , M . Nonna came in , and ho was served in the same atrocious manner . At length , finding that their victims could not reveal the existence of any treasure , tho fnet being that they were by no menns so wealthy as hnd been imagined , tho bandits went away , taking a small sum of monoy which happened to bo lying in a drawer . Tho neighbours having como in found tho man and his wife in a deplorable plight , but medical assistance having been promptly procured , it wan hoped tlioy would recover . Two men Buspocted of having formed part of tUo band were subsequently arrested ; one of them ia a man of somo property in tho neighbourhood of Sulina . "

Lbadek Office , Saturday , November 8 . THE FRENCH OFFICIAL PRESS . The following article from Friday ' s Monitzur mayba t aken as an . example of the official equivocation constantly practised in Paris . What becomes of the responsibility of the press , in a country in -which one ministerial organ is thus inspired to contradict another so as to keep up a system of universal duplicit y and mystification ?—" The Constitutwnnel of the 5 th in 9 t . contains an article upon a point in dispute in external affairs which we should be very sorry to allow the reader to suppose has emanated from tho Government . To envenom a discussion is not the way to facilitate its solution . England and France , who together carried on the war and concluded peace , and who agree upon all the great questions of the day in Europe , are divided in opinion upon one of a very minor interest ( asses faibh ) . " Will the difference be settled by a preliminary arrangement or by conference ? That is the only thing to be decided But , under all circumstances , we entertain the firm , conviction that the difficulty will soon be removed , without running upon the double error of weakening the English alliance and of failing to fulfil engagements contracted . " ' The article alluded to appeared in . the Co / istitutionnel of Wednesday , and had reference to the question at issue between France and England with respect to the new Bessarabi an boundary . The article is written with great bitterness , and imputes bad faith and ambitious designs to England . There are rumours of an approaching change in tha French Ministry , owing to the financial embarrassments and the distressed state of the working classes .
Signor Manin And Murattsm. The Following...
SIGNOR MANIN AND MURATTSM . The following letter has been addressed by Sign or Mauinto the Unione of Turin : — ¦ . ' ¦ ¦ ¦ : } . ' . ¦ .-, "Paris , Nov . 4 . u , — -Your Parisian correspondent has included van among tlie partizans of Prince Murat . That statement is incorrect , and I hope you will permit me to rectify it . I rally to the flag of the National Party , whose wish is the independence and unification of Italy . I may accept an advance , though slow , in the way which leads to alinal object , until an opportunity be presented of attaining it completely ; but , in any case , I disapprove and reject every retrograde or divergent step , and I therefore reject and disapprove the Muratist solution ns
nntinational . Tho Muratist solution would not be progress , but retrogression . If , for our misfortune , it succeeded , it would consolidate the Austrian domination in Northern Italy ; it would introduce in Naples an indirect foreign dependence ; it would probably dismember Sicily , and abandon it to another foreign influence , and it would create a most serious obstacle to future unification . Murat on tho throne of Naples could not , even if he wished , establish a national policy , nor a liberal policy . Murat on the throne of Naples would be fatally , aiid'by the inevitable force of circumstances , the rival mid tho antagonist of the House of Savoy , and necessarily the friend and the ally , secret or avowed , of Austria , tho natural enemy of that House .
" He who affirms that Murat , when King of Naples , would give a liberal constitution , form an alliance with . Piedmont , and furnish a contingent of troops for tho war against Austria , is either a dupo or a deceiver . Such tilings Murat while a Pretender may promise , but that promise Murat when King would not and could not fulfil . " Far from me any intention of personal oflence I speak not of tho man , -whom I do not know . I si icak of the situation and its inevitable conditions . I sum up my intimate convictions in these words : —Ho vlio is ft partisan of Murat is a traitor to Italy . —Accept , & c , " Manin . 'V
