LONDON.

(FROM OIJB OWN CORSEdtbKBBNf.)^ ; London, December .3^66. Whichever way one turns in a ,auryj^ of the contin^nt.at.theVpresentfflomeiSC^! 81 ® seems to be trouble, varying in shade and magnitude, and a|l, dependent oii the i " turn things take." , . The last French^spjdier has, Jt^J^ome, and the Pope has now, to consider .wither he will enter into amicable relations with Victor Emmanuel (whom he has at various -times heartily cursed), or wait the for^fe of circumstances. By the lasjfc ; ac<?bunts|jreceived from Rome there seems afaint hppe entertained by all parties that the kingdom of Italy and the P6pe's !i royalty 'may, exist side by side. Signor ToVreUoyf the Italian . minister, has been received by. the { Holy Father in a very gracious manner, and ru,mour goes so far as to give the following 89 the heads of a convention to be entered into between Pius IX r .and thes '^ng of 'Italy:-: — The Pope is to remain.: the. ecclesiastical ruler of the' Seven Hills, and of Italy. The local administration of ; the' Eternal City is to be handed ' byeiv'to a municipality, elected by the people^ A plebiscitum is la be taken' throughout" the Eoman States, thus correcting the; inevitable result of a vote taken merely within the walls, where the ecclesiastics woiM of course command the majority. Italian troops are to guard the Pontiff; the Komah force are to join' the Italian army. The cardinals are to be made princes of Italy, with doubled income.; All Roman Catholic States are to subscribe towards the Pope's civil list. Florence' is to be the capital of Italy, the Pope acknowledging i the King, and crowning him. ' The' preserit Pontiff is not to bind his successor by the proposed compact. . j Should this come to pass, it Will be one - of the most remarkable treaties ever entered into, and all our, ant(-papal,p.rp,pl}ets,w^l be compelled to give a little longer lease of life to their great bugbear, the papacy. On the other hand, should any hitch occur in these negotiations, the days of the temporal power of the Pope are numbered, for it is only by bringing such a barrier between him and the Romans that Rome can be held. Naturally then, all look on with anxiety ? for it is uncertain to what extent the^tJmperor Napoleon is inclined to go in supporting his venerable friend on such a shalfy seat.l ; Meanwhile how goes it with the man who has thus, alone, and opposed to the wishes of his ministers, people, and wife, brought this strange state of things to pass ? v TJiePope, in his farewell address to" the French^ ajpmy, breaks out in bitter words against him. His wife persists in her intention; ibo visit Borne, and comfort the Pontiff.- A section of his people (small truly, because religion is not a very serious thing to Frenchmen),-<indig-nant at his apparent desertion of Pnis'lX, curse him not loudly, you may be sure (in Prance), but none the less deeply. r AU%n» moved, he carries out to, the .very fetter the terms of last September's convention with Italy, and busies himself with other affairs. Intent upon his great scheme for the reorganization of the French army, he seems for the time being to have put eyerythingelse on one side. And now that the schenfe is announced, nil Europe stands aghast at the boldness of the proposition. ;If carried out, .* Louis Napoleon will have at his. command 1,232,315 drilled 'men. True it will take six years before this large figure is attained, but during the whole of that period the force will be developing itself. In 1872 hisforces will stand thus ' :

The plan the Emperor proposes to adopt in order to obtain this gigantic result* if to take 160,000 instead Of the 100,000, heretofore drawn out of the 218,000 youttj liable to conscription annually, and as the serviceis to be for six years, it is easy 'to' see- that the whole adult population in France will eventually pass through the military mill. . Thus Prance will have obtained, the largest army in the world, while all its male population over twenty six will have been ? well drilled and disciplined. With; suctr an army, and such a nation at its back,;i& there any such word or thing as impossible P True it isihat ! at' present |;here ismucb. discontent uYtne prospect of this I ti&w jtdp t qd. ta.vbut one cftniJiardlyquesiibn^iie'scpeiije " *os> ... . ■ . /• vi , .■-•■

Not only so but.iv these/quick times of ours powers rise ancT fall almost as rapidly as Bubble companies. One can only say that all thisis^erriblecprnmeht on the words "L'Empirec'estla paix;" Perhaps after aUr the other rendering •* iTEmpire c'est l'^pee" was the correct one. Still the question is an open one whether the discontent that hWurimistakeably'shewri itself at this announcement of the Imperial- policy will not induce the Emperor to modify his plans, though his known, inflexibility, judging by the past, is most likely to attain its end. There seem, now every chance of the proposed visit tff the Empress Eugenic being adjourned sine die.

It; is peasant too, to see that the Prussians are not ungrateful to the men who, in an unscrupulous way mayhap, have made her what she is, for the Chambers of Deputies has vpte^i 1^ million thalers to be divided be- ; tweeh Bismarfc, Roon, Moltke, Generals Von Steinmetz, Bittenfeld and Volkenstein. . The, first three are to receive 300,000 thalers each. Thus' it is that success succeeds in Prussia. „ ' The Cretan .insurrection still smoulders, and i at first, sight it ; seems somewhat strange iiitiafc Turkey does not at onoa cut adrift this " i^ulaV possession. But. there are two objections to such a course. Crete is valuable to iier as an outpost, and the success of the rebellion would more than anything else llad to other rebellions throughout the OtEridipire^ 1 \That Crete can ever be ;at,J peace again with Turkey'seems an impossibiUty, ■ but Greece cannot possibly help the Cretans, nor can the Islanders hope to. exist in an independent position. Intact "Crete seems likely to be a ; necessary. open ulcer of Turkey for some, time to come. - 4" There is.no power in Europe that busies feelf^sci; mqbh abojat religious matters as Russia; hence we are not surprised to hear ihat uncomfortable, relations are likely soon to ensue between Russia an with regard to the priesthood iuPoland. The absolute rule of Russia cannot longer brook the of; a strange priesthood with its government^; hence measures, are being taken' that amount almost.to an abolition of the Roman ;C!atholie Church in Poland. Of the; other countries not already, mentioned, Austria may simply be described as "in a. "muddle,", and what will be evolved from this chaos remains to be seen. Of Spain little can be said beyond that you in my last letter. At preiehtine. smouldering fire of revolution is ".*)^^'Q^der ) '-but..that'it must eventually forth, there can be little doubt. The ai uQu,een and Ring have, lately paid a visit to ':; tVf?-,.^ een and ' King of Portugal — without ! an object and certainly without a result. Thus it, niay be seen that France is excited^Teith regard, to its army, Prussia is on ih& r qui vive, Rome and Italy are on a dangerous , footing, while Russia does not con- -- ceal the hatred it has of Rome, and Spain is pliable at anymPment ; to * be revolutionised. A nice prospect for the opening year of "^BBT,^e^e'ar when all nations are to meet at Paris in. the International Exhibition, at , peace 'with each other, and busy in exchanging fond congratulations. ''■'■. Athome we have been visited with two | sad iMattiities in the shape of most disas- * Jrpus colliery explosions. On the 12th inst. .-.• the Oaks~ Colliery, near Barnsley, blew up, and out of nearly 400 men and boys in the pit, only, fifty were rescued. Such a loss of life hks never before occurred at any one colliery explosion. The saddest part of all W&X ijh'at a band of brave men being got together for the purpose of rescuing any who * niigjbt be left alive in the pit, were all killed ■■ifaf explosion. Then the pit caught fire ? and since that time all efforts have ?c oen'toa<Je to exLinguish it, and recover the Bodies of ihe' poor sufferers, It ia said that the^|igc^n r 6/ w/|S .occasioned by blasting pperatipps being on in too close ,t|?r ; p?jn^ity r tip;old and disused workings, and : thaV- a- fissure -having occurred, the fire "';^a^^!?ft^e^-?p(fijle4;th"e whole mine, and, explooio^vodU6e^. the fearful rgsulta .V-'V^J^^^^^-itli.e^'followiiig*. day another r 'f||f^v -datas^Pf>he/ occurred in what is : i^^p(nn^^|lßi J ''"tnine in :; igP^^^l^^llpllf^rnenr

in screwing off the top of his safety lamp.

The ruin and desolation that these accidents have spread throughout the districts in which they,have occurred are unparallelled Subscriptions have been opened throughout the kingdom, and large sums have already been collected. . ' A 'Government enquiry place, but the loss of life will remain the same, 600. , . '; ' The papers you will receive by this mail will give you full detailspf these sad events. Her Majesty in her usual gracious manner has headed the subscriptions, -find all; the Royal Family have nobly foHpw'ed hdr example. I am. happy to say that there is every prospect ; of a sufficient sum being gathered to thoroughly relieve all the disr tress thus. suddenly brought upon these poor people. The fact of two such explosions occurring so closely together, at first raised the question whether the state of. the atmospheric air had not something to do with them, but it has '"been satisfactorily proved that the accidents arose in the way I have stated. It' really, seems 1 as though no catastrophe could teach miners carefulness. Messrs.- Potter, Beales & Co's,; grand army of reformers mustered ha ordered on the 3rd, inst., but of "the, 200,000 expected only 25,000 made their appearance. Through four miles of slushy mud did this mass march, and a very travel-stained, draggle-tailed appearance it presented whea it arrived at ; Beaufort ; House, the scene of the" demonstration," But into the gardens only one .division was allowed to enter, as the lane leading to the gates was occupied by " roughs, 1 ' who, in a most " Claude Ducal" manner, attacked the deputations, in carriages, and, removing the occupants for greater convenience of plunder^ stripped them of their, valuables, and then replaced them in their equipages, Mr, George Potter, who acted as Field Marshal to the wholes affair, was wise enough, .seeing how matters stood, to order the ;q(ihse divisions \o avoifi the xiang^i'Qtfg'l^ne, and "break off" at the first .convenient space. So these "Reformers" have at least to thank their leader for having averted a terrible catastrophe. The deinonstraions passed off quite quietly, for a kind providence sent a deluge of rain upon them about 3 p.m., that (though the crowd was neither sugar or salt) disolved it thoroughly, There was no return procession, the bands were silent, and- the mobs one met had a damp, miserable, look, reminding one forcibly of Mr. t Mantalim M s " damp unwholesome corpse." . • • ■ The speeches delivered were of the usual cast, but:perhaps a little more highly spiced. Indeed one gentleman, a glass blower by trade, nearly exploded with his magniloquent; rubbish. But as very few could have heard the " orators," the effect may be put down as — nil. Next evening St. James' Hall was crammed to hear Mr. Bright (who you may be sure was not at the out-door demonstration) hold forth under the guardianship of Mr. Potter. It would oiily be a waste of time to tell you what he said, as it was a very good "repetition" of former utterances, with the exception that he said things about Ireland that a few years ago would have placed him in Newgate, and which, uttered at this critical time of that unhappy country's history, were positively wicked. The whole result "of this demonstration may be said to be, as far as Reform is concerned, an utter failure. . A failure as to members gathered together — a failure as regards speeches and arguments — and a failure as to the expected intimidation of 'their opponents. It being a, failure, somebody of course must be blamed, so the Secretary of the :'■' Demonstration Committee " was directed to fall foul of Sir Richard Mayne — he being about , as assailable as anybody else. This secretary says that Sir Richard Mayne ought to have cleared the lane referred to, in -order that the procession might be put in full possession of it ; but, as it happens, Sir Richard Mayne. 'not being quite Louis Napoleon, and London not being Paris, he could riot possibly stop up any "right of way," and so long as our garottiug friends behaved themselves, could only look on. When the " row" began, and robbing was in full swing, the "blues" quickly made their appearance. The fact is, the thieves of London are quick in discerning a " position," and like skilful generals chose the point where their prey was to be most closely packed,i and lience most easily spoiled. V'i> Since this some very wide people have been asking what has become of all the money raised by the sale of the 2d. tickets &c. If the accounts are properly made out, perhaps we shall find how much. was spentin- horse riding lessons for the mounted Marshals of the day. . Meanwhile we are toldtthat £12 has been given as a subsidy to a paper called the "Commonwealth," which is of such extremely limited circulation that no one seems to have known of it before this.The man whom Mr. Bright abuses most has found his voice — it happened in this wise. Mi*. Lowe being at the Merchant Taylors the other day, was called upon to reply to the. toast of the House of Commons. He remarked that ihe institution of which Englishmen had been so proud for more than 600 years, was now abused and held up to ridicule by those whoprofessed a desire to " reform ? ? it, and who would, had they their will, make Englishmen believe that it was a mockery, a delusion, and a snare. With this even they were not content, for they personally attacked the members by ■calling them a set of "one-eyed;-hump-backed scoundrels." To all this Mr. Lowe merely expressed his belief that, taken as a whole, the House of Commons was a good looking assembly ; « and that it certainly waa a pure, intelligent, hardworking and orderly one. He said all he wanted was that people should make sure of what they were going to have in exchange before they abolished it. As regards the real question of Reform the opinion of the thinking portion of the community remains unchanged, and there is a firm belief that the next session wiH see the matter settled. The cry for "manhood } suffrage" is only heard from those who may be called the salvage of the wreck of chartism. ■ Mr. Bright has certainly attained one of his heart's desires in seeing the Trade? Unions turned into political engines, but .this has ript been done without a protest from' numbers of workmen who belong to these Unions, Naturally enough, Unions, originally instituted for the sole, purpose of protecting the wo'rkraap i {igaifist any tyranny

of the masters, ha^e. only one end in view, while the various members, agreeing on that point, entertain diverse opinions upon political matters. It would be as reasonable to expect all the members of the Reform Club to be. of one religious denomination as to expect that a Trade Union should be comVs&setl s<slely >6>(: »»\©tt. t6»t upisii *«6tci4»tti A Id Bright, Beales, Totter and Go.: But these Unions are developing signs of decay already. .Exalt'edinto an almost uncontrolled poweiy their presidents and delegates have enacted several rules that have proved "burdens grievous to be borne." The masters see that, combination alone will prevent such , encroachments of Unions as tend to' divert the staple trades of England to the continent. The constant recurrence of " strikes " in various trades has already driven contractors- to other markets for supplies, and, once a cheaper market found, we all know how difficult it is to regain the customers, lost. But the men themselves are rising against the exactions of their councils, and already in .several. .'places anti-iinion organizations have been formed. Hence, King Potter must look to the affairs of hia kingdom, or his crown may perchance pass from him, The ."Reformers" of. Lambeth having taken a particular dislike to Mr. Doulton, one Pf the representatives of the borough .in Parliament, have seemingly determined that he shall not be heard in explanation pf his conduct in the House. His great crime consists in having voted againt the late Reform Bill ; in fact he voted as his conscience directed him. Since that; time he has been most liberally abused, and the other night, having convened a meeting of his constituents, he was not allowed to speak — a continuous storm of yells and groans being kept up. Determined, however, to " explain," he addressed his speech to the reporters. This was resented by the mob assembled, who -at once made a rush for the platform,, overturning reporters, tables and all, and it was with difficult^ the w traitor" Doulton escaped personal injury. This outrageous conduot has I am happy to say been condemned by all parties. The doubt that has existed with regard to the real character of the f docuuients deposited by Sir S. M. Peto with the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association, is to be decided by, the Lords Justices of Appeal. Sir S. M. Peto stated to . his constituents that the forms deposited with the Association in question were not debentures . of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway Company, as they wanted' the seal &c. thereof but, strange, to say, in the, same breath the Baronet admitted that he had borrowed an enormous sum upon them. The Imperial Mercantile Credit Association having followed the. fashion of" wind up," those matter of fact persons, the liquidators, are determined to find out whether the money was advanced upon mere " forms " or upon bonafide debentures. Therefore they have filed a bill in chancery against the railway company to compel them to admit them as debentures. Should the liquidators obtain judgment, Sir S. M. Peto's. assertion that there never was an over-issue of debentures is proved to be a lie, and also proves that he knowingly and wilfully helped in such over- issue. If, on the other hand, the Lords Justices hold that the papers handed to the directors of the Association were only " forms, " then the whole transaction looks very much like a simple case of obtaining money under false pretences, for it can scarcely be conceived possible that a board consisting of business men would lend to any man (no matter how great his fame'i so large a sum without believing that they were receiving good and sufficient security for it. Looking at the case from either point of view, there rises up . befoi'e one a dim vision of a felon's dock at the Old Bailey, with an occupant. At all events if such does not become. a reality, I for one shall in future look upon Mr. BillSykes and his confreres as terribly ill used people. Meanwhile it is a matter of much remark that a large number of contractors, and financiers who are requested to answer certain questions, are now on the Continent or elsewhere for "the benefit of their health." Their attendance would be acceptable in the Court of Chancery, where the Judges want to know all about certain affairs that can only be explained by these " operators." At the Central Criminal Court, Moses Moses, the notorious receiver, whose capture was noticed in my last, has had his interview with a, "jury of his countrymen," and, beiug found guilty, the judge ordered his retirement from society for 20 years. One can only regret that other quite as notorious receivers do not accompany him. Our " standing grievance " the Fenians, still continue very troublesome, and the authorities in Ireland, have got their hands quite full in arresting conspirators, seizing arms, &c. One or two arrests have been made in England, shewing that the scheme has far greater amplifications than was at first conceived. The detectives, though, are sometimes a " little " to sharp— for, finding a man of war in the Medway that could not on the moment prove itself "all right," they seized upon it as a Fenian pirate ; next morning, however, it was satisfactorily proved that she belonged to the Columbian Republic. . , I question whether the Fenian leaders would ever indulge in such an expensive luxury as a vessel of war. Meanwhile it is satisfactpry to see: the loyal portion of the population in Ireland at length aroused, and willing to help in taking care of the Island. Stephens has not yet turned up, and we should not be much surprised to hear that he has arrived in New Zealand, for, having made up a good purse in America for his >" expedition," perhaps he may prefer a colonial life to becoming an inmate of one of our gaols. It will be as well for him to bear in mmd that he is still worth £2000 to any one who will arre t him, and your police will thus have a sufficient inducement to look sharp after him. Still, all here would much prefer his being caught at home, and, if necessary, hung, provided it would have the effect of saving Ireland from scenes such as occurred in the rebellion of last century. It is said that Her Majesty contemplates a visit to Ireland next year, if Fenianism is by that time " stamped out." If this should take place there is little doubt it will have a most satisfactory effect, if only the Queen can be induced to make a tour through those districts that are now most disaffected. Her Majesty's health remains excellent, and you will be glad to hear that her anxiety about Prince Leopold is lessened, as the ! young prince is much better. ,

The Prince of Wales has been very unwell lately, but is now much better, and with his. wife has been looking after the welfare of the cottagers on his estate at Saridrihgham. It is expected that there will be an addition to the Prince pf Wales' family in January next. . ;^ Gkviatmfls lias oome and aonaonoa ni6«6, nnd with it the uaual amount of festivities, as also a goodly crop of Christmas magazines, with most astonishing titles and Still more astonishing pictures. There is not much to be said in favour of any of them, and in all there is a certain morbid seeking after, "sensation? 1 , that becomes sickening. Mr. Dickens has indulged us with a Christmas number of A}l the V.ear Round calledMugby Junction, arid it' is the ' weakest thing of the kind ylt produced. All the genial brightness and deep knowledge of humanity displayed ■.. in the. "Christmas Carol" seems lost for ever, and Mr. Dickens' admirers are sadly disappointed with these successive "fallings off." To-night, the ." gods " jwili have it all their own way (as usual on a " boxing " night) at the Theatres, where the most- gorgeous Pantomimes, Burlesques, and Extravaganzas are promised us. Of these I shall perhaps have a word to say on the Ist of January. We have all been waiting somewhat anxiously for the President's message to Congress, and at last we have the full text of it. By it, it is clear that the Alabama claims are far from abandoned, and' that it is expected of John Bulb to "cash up." _ The President's words on this point are very calm and inoffensive, leaving the whole matter to be settled by a " Commission." With regard to Mexico hia language is not explicit, but it expresses a firm belief that France will withdraw from that country in strict conformity with its promise. Mr. Johnson's opinions and views about reconstruction are unchanged, and thus he and Congress are still at daggers drawn on this great question. But the most remarkable part of the whole speech was that, relating to fclie aft&nees o£ the <!dunkt*y. TUs SguveS and results are simply immense — the surplus revenue of the Union for the year ending 3 1st May 1867 will be in hard solid cash £31,600,000. This result, so soon after such a terrible civil war, shews us the enormous resources of this comparatively new power. At such a fate as this the debt heaped up during the last four years will | quickly disappear, The first week of Congress has been marked by various violent scenes, and this cannot be wondered at when we consider the sort of people it pleases the citizens of the United States to honour — prizefighters and negroes. Fancy our electors sending Mr. Tom King, all freshly bruised and battered, into the House of Commons to represent say Westminster, or our choosing Messrs. Sambo and Quimbo, instead of such men as Messrs. Gladstone and Disraeli, yet this is what the glorious universal suffrage of America has done. As yet there has not been any pitched battle between the President and Congress, but that it must come there is little doubt, and so it remains to be seen if Mr. Johnson will give way or allow measures to be passed by the "two-thirds" veto. ** The Emperor Maximilian's reign in Mexico is said to have come to an end. The American troops have occupied Matamoras,* and are going to look after " American interests " there. The exact whereabouts of Maximilian seems very dubitable; the last rumour that has reached us is that he is a prisoner, but whether of the French or Juarists is very uncertain. Our sporting friends in America have provided us with a new sensation in the shape of a yacht race across the Atlantic! ! ! On the 12th inst,, three yachts — the Henrietta of 203 tons, owner J. G. Bennett jun. ; the Fleetwing, 204 tons, owner George A. Osgood ; and the Y eata > owner Pierre Lonilard, sailed from New York for Cowcs. The stakes were 30,000 dollars each, the first yacht to take all the money. Great excitement prevailed in yachting circles, and, yesterday, the Henrietta arrived at 6 p.m. Only 8 hours after, the Fleetwing arrived, and, 1^ hours after, the Vesta came in — only 9^ hour 3 difference between the first and last boats, a pretty close run where the course is over 3000 miles. The owner of the winning yacht is the son of Mr. William Gordon Bennett of New York Herald and horsewhipped notoriety.
