Rossini, we all know, does not trouble his head with politics ; but it is hard to suppose the gunpowder words he has set to music can have been sung on such an occasion without the deliberate stamp. It is curious, however, that although this afternoon copies of the song were selling at the doors of the Palais de l'lndustrie at two sous apiece, not one is to be got in Paris this evening ; and the evening papers do not reproduce it. Has it struck some body that it was out of place, and is its publication therefore interdicted t That would be awkward. When the last sound of the hymn, which was not long, died away, M. Rouher, in full Minister's uniform and with all his orders, read at the foot of the throne a very long speech, giving the Emperor an account of the history, state, and prospects of the Universal Exhibition. The Minister of State spoke in a sonorous voice ; many of his words were audible in the remotest corners of the gal leries, and no doubt the whole speech was heard by many in the nave, but it cannot be reported till the Momiteur gives it to-morrow. The Emperor then rose, and read a speech, which you will see in the evening papers. It seems to me utterly in significant in a political point of view, unless, indeed, we are to understand from the conclusion that the " satisfaction of legitimate aspirations, which alone can consolidate thrones, elevate peo ples, and ennoble humanity," means that France must have Belgium and the Rhine. After this speech the groups set themselves in motion, and with a banner borne before each ap proached the foot of the throne. These groups I were very numerous ; I estimate the ten of them at from 00 to 100 each. The first was the Fine Arts group, with Count Nieuwerkerke at its head. What followed was rather tedious to the majority of the beholders, although no doubt intensely in teresting to the parties immediately concerned and their friends. Every man entitled to a gold medal issued in turn from his group, mounted the steps of the throne, and received his honorary reward from the Emperor's own hand. It was curious to! witness the uniformity with which the laureates went through the ceremony. There were several steps to be mounted, and then a wide carpeted spew to be traversed between the landing and the foot of the Emperor's chair. A useful hint given by persons in authority that time was short made almost every medallist, including many grey and bald-headed elderly men run up the stairs ; then nearly everybody was nervously afraid to approach too closaly to the Emperor's chair, so that he had inconveniently to stretch forth his arm to its full length to give the medal. Both the Emperor and Empress occa sionally said a few gracious words to very eminent exhibitors or persons that they knew. But far the greater number hastily clutched the medal, and in most cases with a quick bow, which some however forgot, turned round, and ran down the stairs as fast as possible. During this ceremony a sudden storm of applause in the neighbourhood of the throne showed that something unusual had happened. The incident was that the Emperor had been declared by the jury entitled to a prize for his model of a working man's house, and as he could not well give a prize to himself, the Prince Imperial, delegated by the Imperial Com mission, ruse from his seat to present it to him. The di stribution was then got through much quicker than, from the number of medalliets, was to be apprehended. By four o'clock all was over. The Emperor, the Sultan, and the Empress, and all the great people on the throne, then descended and very slowly walked round the nave. They were loudly applauded, especially by the persons nearest to them, namely, the groups who had just received prizes. The Sultan, who walked not in the order in which he had sat on the Emperor 's right hand, but in the middle, between him and the Empress, is not, as some thought yesterday, when they saw him in a car riage, shorter than the Emperor, but fully half a head taller. He very graciously and frequently returned the salutes of the public. It was an ex tremely pretty sight, besides being a very memo rable one, to see the royal ladies in the Empress's suite, with their splendid dresses of various colours, and long trains, walking arm in arm with the Prince of Wales, the Prince Royal of Prussia, Prince Humbert, the Duke of Cambridge, &c. The procession home was the same as in going, except that, as hinted above, there were more car riages. The weather was as fine as in the morning, and there were even more people to see. The Viceroy of Egypt, who did not choose to go officially, came for a short time with several atten dants into the Eastern gallery. He did not sit down, but stood in a gangway wiping the per spiration off his forehead, while a pair of new kid gloves peeped out of the pockets of his straight cut white waistcoat. CIWOPENCE MESSRS. PATO, BETTS, AND CRAMPTON IN BANKRUPTCY. The following communication has been addressed to the inspectors of the estate of Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Crampton, by Messrs. Maynard, the solicitors to that firm, announcing the necessity for placing the liquidation under the jurisdiction of the Court of Bankriptcy—a measure rendered unavoidable by the claim just set up by the di rectors of the London, Chatham, and Darer Company : " 57, Coleman-street, June 24. " Gentlemen—You are aware that the deed of inspection under which the affairs of Mean. Peto, Betts, and Cramp ton have for some time past been under your =pin:intend. mos will, if not extended, expire on the 30th inst., and it has become a matter for very serious consideration whether the inspection provided by that deed should be confirmed, or whether the affairs of Messrs. Peto, Bette, and Cramp ton should be administered in the only other mode which appears to us in any way feasible, namely, that of bank ruptcy. During the past year considerable progress has been made in realising some of the most important assets, as well as in settling amounts of a very difficult and com plicated uature,and we believe with great advantage to the estate ; but the questions connected with the London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway Company, and the various parties interested in the numerous dependencies of that company, are of such extent and complication, that we see no hope a their being brought to a satisfactory termination by any other means than those afforded by the jurisdiction of the Court of Bankruptcy. You are aware that Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Crampton, in the statement of their affairs, claimed a balance to be due to them from the London, Chatham, and Dover Company of upwards of 3ft0.000/., besides which they were liable to claims on the part of creditors to the amount of upwards of 2,000,0001., who held as security only some of the various stocks of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company. It wait understood that the London, Chatham, and Dover Com pany disputed the amount claimed to be due from them ; but within the last few days only an account has been received from that company, by which they claim to be due to them from livers. Pete, Bette, aud Crampton no leas a sum than 6,061,9111., ex:luaive of interest. The questions which arise upon this account are of • description which we think it quite imposidhle to deal with by means of the powers afforded by • deed of ins; ection, and we have therefore no difficulty in advising, as the course beet calculated to secure and promote the interests of the creditors at large, that the deed of inspection should not be extended ; but that the necessary steps should be taken for liquidating the estate in bankruptcy. We are, "XATNAKI), Bolt, AND CO. "The Inspectors of Messrs. NW, Betts, and Crampton." fi RAND PERFORMANCE AT EXETER HA LL. This evening a grand performance of J. R. Schacbner's oratorio.

New RRSTOT.NUR FOR THa QU KEN AT BA LMORA L. —Her Majesty, who has since her annual Amite to Druids been making improvements year by year around B.dnioral, is having a somewhat extensive house for her occasional accommodation built on the south-west end of Loch Muicdt. The want of such a retreat must have been long felt, as her Majesty frequently drives to the vicinity of the loch, and, when sketching or visiting the more distant places on that side of Lochnagar, has had sometimes to stay over night at "the Hut," where the accommodation . limited. To obviate this want is the purpose of the building now in course of construction. The site is in a very wild but picturesque locality. On each of three sides of it, and within a few hundred yard., of the house, rise the bold rocky mountains that guard Loch Muick, while on the fourth side an unbroken view of the loch will be obtained. A bridle path leads to the Dhu Loch on the south-west, where numerous falls indent and variegate the increasing wildness of the scenery in that direction. The house will be large enough to accommodate her Majesty and a limited suite for a night, and sill take two seasons to build. Its isolated position may be ima gined when it is known that it is about seven miles from the nearest farmhouse, and nearly four miles fron. the nearest habitable dwelling, the latter being the house of MO of her Majesty's gamekeepers.—Sretsetan.

SHEI'FIELD TRADE OUTRAGES'. Lust night a crowded aggregate meeting of the London trades unionista,which had been arranged by the Lon don Trades Council, was held in Exeter-hall for the purpose of expressing their rise, indignation, and horror at the mimes committed by Broadhead and his accomplices at Sheffield." Mr. W. Allan, the secretary of the Amalga mated Engineers, was in the chair. Professor Bewley, Mr. Edmond Beaks and Colonel Dickson occupied seats on the platform. The Chairman said the trade societies had nothing to fear, notwithstanding the dark deeds which had been perpetrated at Sheffield. It was true the out rages were to some extent calculated to do them damage, or at least to cause the public to look upon them with some degree of distrust, but for his part he was only too glad that those deeds had come to light, because means would be taken to put • stop to them in future. lie for one would say that if trade societies were to depend u pon murder and to live by murder, the sooner they ceased to exist the better. (Cheers.) Mr. Guile (ironfounder) proposed the first resolution, which was to the effect, that the meeting not only expressed its utter abhorrence of the crimes perpetrated by Broadhead and bis accom plices, but felt bound to say that it could not understand how the delegates, who composed the council of organised trades of Sheffield, did not discover for so great a length of time, such an unparalleled system of notorious mimes as has existed in connection with scene of their societies. The speaker indignantly repudiated the attempt which, he said, was being made to connect trade societies with the Sheffield atrocities, and asserted that if the government afforded the societies sufficient protection in the merit of their funds no such occurrences could n plu ni r; two l4"l iaT i bli g e . Q t .! ' two, coot c sta meet thatat a istes i lft no steps to discover the perpetrators of the out rages. Mr. Banter, the late president of the Engineers, and himself, were sent by the trades council to inquire into the cireumstances connected with the blowing up of Fearnehough's house, and he prepared a report which was ' published in a portion of the press. It was true that they made no important discoveries, but it could not be ex pected that persons in their position could elicit facts which could be only obtained by a commission in whom great legal power was vested. However, the impression which they formed at the time resecting the ' ratten ing" system was that the " fattener,' ' were a lot of tap room loungers who, when in a state of intoxication, com mitted outrages on their ovrndirty account." The resolution was supported by Mr. Howell (bricklayer), Mr. Harder (engineer), Mr. Harry (carpenter), and Mr. Dunning (book binder), and carried unanimously. Mr. Applegar (car penter) proposed the next resolution which as w— 'That we, the members of the metropolitan trades' societies here assembled beg to express our moat cordial approba tion of the services rendered to the country generally, and to trades unions especially, by Mr. overend a nd th e w h o l e of the gentlenwa forming the Sheffield Commission, in having brought to public light, and thereby to just. execra tion, • system of organised crime in connexion with cer tain trades unions in Sheffield, which has been a source of terror to the people of that town, and a means of bringing distrust upon all trades combinations." In the course of some remarks, which were in harmony with the spirit of the resolution, he expressed the hope that the enquiry would be extended to the masters, to whom he said, a great deal of bribery and culpability could be traced. Mr. Dodd (sine worker) having seconded the resolution, Professor Beesley, who was loudly applauded, supported it. He was of opinion that a murder committed by trades unionists was no better or no worse than any other murder, and he t that when the meeting was over enough would have said of the Sheffield atrocities. The frequent assumption of an apologetic attitude was de structive to self-respect, and he said so regardless of the probability that the WO of the expression on that occasion would induce certain persons to stigmatize him as an apologist for murder. No one abhorred murder more than he did. It was well known that he subscribed money for the purpose of having • murderer punished —(cheers)--• murderer who com mitted his crimes in the interest of his employers just as Broadhead did it in the interest of workmen. The ia dividual to whom he referred, instead of being answerable for a few murder,, was responsible for 400 murders, and he was now at large, not on • certificate of indemnity, but because a bench of magistrates of his own class refused to send the case before a jury. (Cheers.) He saw no reason why the trades unionists should take blame or shame to themselves for what had been done at Sheffield; he saw co reason why they should hold their heads an inch less high, or abate their demands upon the legislature. The middle class would go on talking about the outrages for a long time, but he hoped they would thwart the object thus sought, namely, to divert their minds from their claims upon government. The law, , as it stood, made • police magistrate commit more crimes in • week than Broadhead committed in • year. If a tailor told another tailor that he would not work with him, he was brought before the magistrate and committed for trial before a jury of employers and a bench of middle-classmegistrates, and sent to thetreadmill.

The review of troops which was to have taken place to-morrow has been postponed. The Prince Imperial has paid a visit to the Sultan. In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body M. Rouhor, replying to speeches delivered by MM. Picard and Simon, denied that the imperial go vernment had pursued a repressive policy. The sole aim of the empire had been to realise the idea of democracy and liberty under a government com manding respect. The ominous tranquillity of the country, of which M. Picard had spoken, was, he said, a condemnation of the apposition, not of the government. " The country, added M. Rotther, 13 not with you—on the contrary, it is full of confidence." Speaking of the Mexican expedition, he said :—" It is the only biack spot upon a bril liant tableau." The new army law he described as " France placing her hand on the hilt of her sword in the midst of prosperity and peace." With regard to the system of putting up official candidates at elections, he said the government was quite ready to renounce that system if the opposi tion candidates would renounce the practice of exciting bad passions and of holding out fallacious promises, such as the diminution of taxation and similar illusions. M. Rouher's speech was much applauded. The debate upon the budget will be resumed to-morrow. TEI DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZE AT TEI PARIS MiIBITION. (nom out ow, col PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The great, the long looked for day of the solemn distribution by the Emperor of the principal prizes awarded at the Universal Exhibition of 1867 has come and gone, and I cannot but pronounce it, in a word, as an " immense success." I know nothing of the heartburnings and disappointments which of course there must be on the part of those who thought they deserved prizes and did not get ono ; but, speaking of the ceremony at the Palais de I 'lndustrie in the Champs Elysee' as a great ' national jets—as a s viewed by countless thousands, whose ZlZ l !wrought expectation. were exceeded rather than disappointed—. I never knew its parallel. The doors were opened as early as eleven o'clock, and ticket holders were recommended to come in good time, in order to avoid crowding. The hint was attended to, and by twelve o'clock ve r y few . seats indeed in all the vast nave and galleries were vacant. Exactly seventeen thousand stalls were provided, and these being all numbered and classified, and the arrangements being admirable, they,,were reached without the least inconvenience or confusion by the persons entitled to them. It would have been possible, had the object been to have made the building hold as many people as it could, without reference to their comfort, to have crammed in double the number, but the stalls, un like those in moat of the theatres, were roomy, with plenty of space between the rows. There were scarcely any bad places anywhere except, perhaps, a few in the gallery just behind the throne. It was easy to walk about and talk to one's friends, and even to go out and get a breath. of air in the Champs Elysdes, and get back again. The equable light through the glass roof, only slightly tempered by a light-coloured return and some pennons, enabled one to recognise faces almost all over the building. The coup decd was magnificent. A well-considered deviation from the original regulations abolished the distinction between ladies and gentlemen's stalls • and so, instead of gentlemen being penned in bla ck masses in one square section, and. ladies I in light-coloured attire in another, they were all mixed up together, and the effect, viewed from a diatanee, was that of immense parterres of varie gated towers. A very large open space, extending along the whole length of the nave, was reserved for the movements of the groups of prizeholders in tended to file before the Emperor, and also for the promenade which it was part of the programme that the Emperor and his guests should make at the end of the ceremony, in order to be seen closely by all the visitors. In the centre of this oblong space were ten "trophies," as they are called, representing the ten "groups" in the Uni versal Exhibition, and containing specimens of all the products exhibited. For in stance in group No. I—that of the Fine Arts — there were Meisaonnier's " Battle of Solferino ;" works of Reimers, the Russian, and Knauss, the (very great) Prussian painter ; a painting by Th. Rousseau ; a bust by Vela, and several other works of art. The third group (furniture) con sisted principally of bronzes and marbles, and was surmounted by a handsome onyx cluck. In the fourth (clothing) there were samples of lace, silk, and embroidery, and at each corner of the trophy was a lay figure in complete costume. Tho eighth trophy—that of Agriculture—was surmounted with stuffed skin, which had a very ludicrous effect. The space between these trophies was occupied with benches covered with red velvet-gold embroidered, on which were to sit the various groups of prizeholders. The throne erected in the centre of the north side of the building was very spacious, and covered by a dais of immense height richly decorated with crimson and gold hangings between two gilt columns. On the large carpeted space of the throne were placed three gilded armchairs for the Emperor and Empress and the Sultan, and several chairs on either side for the Princes and Princesses of the Imperial party. The pro menade in the space in the nave above mentioned was separated from the long oblong space contain ing the trophies by an unbroken hedge of choice flowers, the breadth of which I can give you an idea of, when I say that I saw several gentlemen with difficulty stretch their arms to shake hands across it. A prominent part of the preliminary spectacle was the orchestra, in front of which in three or four rows were seated at least three hundred ladies, for the most part young and " passing fair," all dressed in white with blue trimmings. These were intended to sing the chorus of Rossini's much-talked of hymn to the Emperor, of which a word or two anon. Walking up and down the nave, looking at the trophies, the flowers, the throne, and the company, or picking out with opera glass from the galleries Parisian and European notabilities in all sorts of uniforms and costumes, and chatting with friends and acquaintances, the public did not find the three hours' waiting between eleven and two o'clock pass very heavily. The orchestra scarcely contributed so much to while away the time as might have been expected from the programme. It certainly did not give the hour's music promised ; and of the two pieces played the second only was worthy to be called so much as pretty. At two o'clock the roll of the drums outside, (mama aux champs, announced that the Emperor and his great Oriental guest were coming. Then everybody, ceasing to flutter and gossip, went to his or her own place, and all was ex pectation. Ministers, marshals of France, ad mirals, and other privileged persons took their seats in places reserved at the foot and about the steps of the throne. In a few moments the Emperor and Empress and the Sultan appeared and took their seats in the centre of the throne, the Emperor sitting in the middle, the Sultan on his right hand, and the Empress on his left. Next to the Empress was the Prince Royal of Prussia, who arrived yesterday on purpose to witness the ceremony, and is going away to-morrow. On the same side of the throne were Prince Humbert, the Princess Mathilde, and Prince Napoleon. On the right of the Sultan I could see in perspective the Prince Imperial, the Prince of Wales in a general's uniform, and the Duke of Cambridge, also in a general's uniform. There were ladies with them, and among others the bride, the Princess della Cisterns ; but I cannot say ex actly in what order they sat. The inevitable " Brother of the Tycoon of Japan," was there too. The Emperor was greeted with a good deal of ap plause on his arrival. As soon as he had taken his seat, Roesini's " Hymn to the Emperor " began. I must report that it fell very flat upon the audience. To me it ap peared singularly ineffective, and the little applause that followed argues that the public was of the same opinion. There isa pleasing motif running through, but as a whole I think it will be voted by compe tent critics unequal to the occasion. The voices of the three hundred women were lost in the build ing —as, indeed, I remember that the sounds of 1,200 musical instruments, from which marvels had been prophesied, were lost in the same place some years ago. The cannon firing at the end was childish, and only worthy of General Boum. Whether any moral is to be drawn from the words by Parini I cannot tell, but it struck me that they were very odd words to be sung on such an occasion. So far from the hymn being one to " Peace," as was predicated of it some days ago, it is rather a hymn to war. It begins, indeed, by chanting the merits of peace and war ex nue ; expressing a hope that France may be equally fortunate in both, and care fully avoiding any show of preference for either. But the concluding line, invoking compassion for the vanquished and glory for the conqueror, seems PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Jur 2. The King starts for Ems on the evening of the sth. The Crown Prince and Princess will lea% e Berlin early the same day. Their royal highnesses will probably be absent six weeks. Count von Bismarck will not return to the capital to be pre sent at the festivities on the anniversary of the Battle of Koniggratz. BERLIN, JOLT 2, DIM:W. The New Prussia It (Cross)Gazetie of this evening, referring to the North Schleswig question, says " Prussia will certainly fulfil the terms of the treaty of Prague. Should Denmark refuse to furnish guarantees for the protection of the German inhabitants of the district to be ceded, and continue to demand a plebiscitum, Prussia could not evade the demand, but she would take care that the vote was taken only in districts where the population were exclusively Danish, or the Danish element decidedly predominant. The question of districts of mixed nationality would be provided for accor ding to Articles 18 and 19 of the Treaty of Vienna concluded on the 30th October, 1864. Denmark (adds the New Prussian Gazette) would do well to weigh her definite reply to the Prussian propo sals. There are various important reasons why she should do so." ROME. ROME, JULY 2. The Pope now enjoys excellent health, and will proceed at the end of July to Castel Gandolfo. Brigands have again made their appearance on Monte Lepini. Desertions continue to occur from the ranks of the Antibes Legion. Cholera is gra dually increasing here. The address presented yesterday by 490 bishops to the Pope, in reply to the allocution, attests their entire obedience to his holiness, and declares that they believe and teach what he believes and teaches. The bishops thank the Pope for h is solicitude in endeavouring to preserve in tact public morality, to resist dangerous machina tions, and to confound error, and express the wish that the voice of the Pontiff nay lead those who are erring back to the good path. The address proceeds to speak of the admirable harmony of the Christian peoples, rallying round the Papal chair, and ex presses joy at the proclamation of the speedy assembly of an (Ecumenical Council, from which the bishops expect abundant fruits. It concludes by declaring that neither princes nor peoples will permit the rights or authority of the Pope to be ignored. In reply to the address which has been presented to the Pope by the deputation from the Italian towns his holiness declared that he had always aided Italy, but in such a manner only as was in accordance with her true interests, and he I hoped that those who dispose of her destinies will save the common fatherland from moral and reli gious ruin. The Pope has ',gain received a number of catholics of various nationalities, to whom he made a speech in the French language. His words were greeted with enthusiasm. THE WEST AFRICAN MAILS.

All well THE HEALTH OF LONDON.—It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, June 29, the births I registered in London ad 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,788 ; the deaths registered, 2,525. The annual rate of mortality was 21 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,084 boys ' and 1,076 girls, in all 2,160 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1857-66, the average number, corrected for increase of population ' is 2,011. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,118. It was the 26th week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with • correction for increase of population, 1,294. The deaths in the present return are less by 176 than the estimated number. The deaths from symotic diseases in the week were 224, the corrected average being 349. Fifteen deaths from small-pox were registered-2 in Bethnal-green, 2in Limehouse, 2in Poplar, 2in Bermondsey, and 7 in other districts. Nine teen deaths occurred from measles, 29 from scarlatina, 7 from diphtheria, 28 from whooping-cough, 33 from typhus, and 48 from diarrhea. The deaths from diarrhea rose from 16 in the previous week to 48 in the present return; 14 of which occurred in the east, and 16 in the south districts. Three deaths from cholera or choleraic diarrhea were recorded. ROYAL HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST, Ctrr-itoAD.—The council of this excellent institution bay ling during the past year succeeded in materially extending its usefnese by opening, after a lapse of 14 years, wards for the reception of in-patients, out of a fund called " The Emergency Ward Special Fund," availed themselves of the holding of the annual meeting yesterday, by inviting the gover nors and subscribers to a dejeuner, at which they ex plained the introduction of the new agencies provided for the relief of the patients. The Earl of Shaftesbury was expected to preside, but as he did not arrive, the proceedings wtre conducted under the chairmanship of the Rev. H. Ward. The annual report, which was read by Mr. C. L Kemp, the secretary, and which went fully into the details con nected with the opening of the wards, showed that the number of patient. in attendance during the year was 30,996, all of whom were seen and prescribed for by the physcians, and received attendance and medicines without any cast to themselves. The number of new patient' was 2,583. An abstract of the year's receipts and expenditure was given, from which it appeard that the income was 1,8211.5 e. 3d., and that at the close of the year the balance at banker's and cash in hand amounted to 8781. 16s. 9d. The report was unanimously adopted. At the dijeibler, speeches advocating the increasing claims of the hospital were made, and at its termination the secretary acknow ledged the receipt of nearly 2001. From a statement made by Dr. Richardson, one of the medical staff, it appears Ithat during the past ten )(lan 400,000 have been relieved at the institution. r~~ f I 1' I
