Picard brought in the following interpeUs tion to the government :—" Will the liberty of meeting for electoral purposes be henceforth ap plied in individual elections of deputies to the chamber, and in the approaching elections of members to the Councils-General r Queen Isabella of Spain will arrive in this capital upon the 20th June, with the King and the Prince of the Asturias. The royal party will take up their residence at the Tuileries. Intelligence from Rome states that the Pope has refused his consent to the project brought forward by Signor Ferrara in the Italian Chamber relative to the ecclesiastical property. The Etendard of this evening states that the treaty negotiated at the London Conference received the signature of the Grand Duke of Luxemburg yesterday. The King of the Greeks is stated to have addressed from St. Petersburg, where ho is I now staying, to the cabinets of Paris, Berlin, and Vienna, an explicit and detailed memorial relative to the existing subjects of dissension between Greece and the Porte. The Pattie of this evening publishes letters from the island of New Caledonian, dated March 8, containing the following :—" The English emigrant ship Challenge, which arrived at Nonmea on the ith March, delivered to the autho rities a report setting forth that mutinies had broken out on board the ships Curlew, from the Sandwich Islands, and Mary Iva, from Sydney. The European portion of their crows were massa cred and the vessels destroyed." PARIS, MAT 21, Evssrca. The French Mediterranean squadron is to sail to Malta, and await there the arrival of the Sultan of Turkey. His Majesty will be received at Toulon by the French Minister of Marine. The Etaulard of this evening says :—" Private letters received here from Roumania state it to be likely that important events will shortly take place there. The party hostile to a close union of Mol davia and Wallachia demands that both Princi palities be independent of each other, and be united only by the tie of a common ruler, namely, Prince Charles. AMERICA. (FROM OCR SPICIAL COI NRY? YORK. MAT 7. The labour strikes still continue all over the country, and if they succeed in nothing else, they certainly have succeeded in effecting a serious derangement of industry. The cause of all the trouble is of course the excessive lowness of wages. I doubt if in the history of this country wages have ever been so low, estimated, as they ought to be, in food, and clothing, and house rent, and not, as they too commonly are, in money. The harvest last year was a bad one, and the result has been that flour,which usually sells at nine or ten dol ' lars a barrel, has been eighteen dollars through : out the winter, and is now 21. In fact, the dearth has been so great that the Northern States, perhaps fur the first time since the coun try was settled, have been importing wheat, and the demand has been so great that it has actually paid to send it from San Francisco round the Cape ,to New York—a fact all the more extraordinary, because until the last year or two California has netAlg been able to supply her own wants. The con sumption and waste of cattle during the war has also been severely felt in the markets. Beef and mutton are double their old price, and show no sign of falling. The high tariff and heavy internal taxation of course keep up the price of clothing. A coat costs more in this country now than a whole suit used to cost four years ago. The abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty with Canada, which the protectionists were able to secure by the aid of the hostility towards the Canadians, bred by their conduct and language during the war, of course at once nearly doubled the price of timber, as the greater portion of the timber to be found in the market in this part of the country has for many years been drawn from the great Canadian pine forests. As most houses in America outside the large cities are built of wood, the effect of this rise has been, of course, almost to put a stop to house building. It is safe to say that it Low costa three times as much to construct a house in any material as it did three years ago. Of course people must have shelter, and the population is !growing as rapidly as ever ; consequently house building would go on as of yore at any price if there were no fear of a fall. But everybody feels satisfied that the present state of things will Inot last, and that either on the resumption of i specie payments, or at some period not very re- I mote, prices will come back, if not to the old standard, to one very near it. Consequently there is a general reluctance to fix capital in any way that can possibly be avoided. Men do not like the idea of putting ten thousand dollars into a thing which in three or four years may only sell for, or yield them interest on, five thcusand. There has accordingly been an almost total cessation of house building for the last three years. This may sound like an exaggeration, but it is really no exaggeration at all. In the large cities wealthy men, who will be comfortably lodged, and to whom the price of any house is but a trifle, have every year been building themselves a few dozen mansions in each of the great towns ; but it is safe to say that the inc ease in the number of houses for the class of moderate means, or for the working class, has not been one-twentieth part so large as the increase of the population. In New York the state of things is rather worse than elsewhere ; rents here have I more than trebled since 1863 ; but all over the I country there is positive distress for house room. People of small incomes are compelled to deny themselves all their luxuries and many of their comforts in order to keep a roof over their heads, while the working men are crowded into miserable lodgings, or find themselves forced to choose be tween absolutely bad food and bad clothing and the surrender of their homesteads. During the war, the excitement, the steady rise of prices under the expansion of the currency, and the great demand for labour kept up by the enor mous drafts made on the market by the army and by government orders, kept the labouring classes in good spirits ; but they now find themselves down upon what gold miners call the "hard pan," and they can think of no mode of relief but a rise in wages. The manufacturers go to Congress every year, and plead the dearness of labour as a reason for asking for higher protection ; this raises prices, and the labourers in their turn go to the manufacturers, and plead the dearness of living as an excuse for asking higher wages, and so on, in one unvarying round. The manufacturers, of course, find trade extraordinarily dull ; there is no demand for any thing : and yet prices remain high as ever. Many of the great mills and workshops are kept going merely to keep the operatives together, and pre vent suffering. There, therefore, could hardly be a time when "strikes" would be leas reasonable or less likely to produce any result than at this mo ' ment ; and yet strikes are the order of the day. There is no trade in which a strike is not raging. The trades unions are not here the perfect organiza tion they are with you. The couutry is too large, and the working men are too little of a distinct dam, and are divided by differences of origin and religion intotoomany distinct sets, for any union tosecuretbe `widener of ramification or perfection of discipline secured by those of England. The consequence is that strikes are partial, isolated, and desultory ; but they are incessant. They are at this moment more-general than they have over been, and there lis no immediate prospect of their termination. The eight-hour law, which was passed by the Illinois Legislature last winter, and which has just gone into operation, has thrown the large towns in the State into commotion, and given the striking mania in the West a violence which it dues not display in this part of the world. Anything more absurd than this eight-hour agita tion has been from first to last it is difficult to imagine. It was begun by some of the better class of workmen, who believed, I think I sincerely, that in most branches of manufacture a reduction of two hours in the day's labour would produce such favourable effects on the moral and , physical condition of the labourers that there might be as much work done in eight hours as in ten, and I think the idea of a large number of them was, that the change could never be brought about without making it compulsory by legislation. When the thing came to be fully discussed of course the difficulties were fully exposed, but owing I to the enormous profits which the manufacturers were making two years ago the economical objec tions to the scheme made little impression on the agitators. They denied that a reduction in the hours of labour would materially diminish production, and maintained that even if it did it ought not to cause PRUSSIA. lyt V ITT and I.IOORE'S AUSTRALIAN LINK of PACliel 8111U—Yor LAUNCESTON Libya :will have Rabic despatch% the liritish-hollt clipper barque WEsTBUKY, AA 1, miser 4:141 tons, TOOMAA BYITII, Commanikr; lying la the West India Ducks This smart crawl, Just built by Nein W.

Domiciliary perquisitions and arrests have been made in several parts of Hanover, even among persons of the highest position. The Banking and Commercial Gazette of this even ing states that the Hanoverian banker Ezekiel Simon has been brought to Berlin as state prisoner, on a charge of high treason. ITALY FLORENCE, ILtT 21, limmia. To-day in the Senate tho bill for the assump tion of a portion of the Pontifical debt came on for discussion. Signor Farini pointed out the unsatis factory condition of the finances, and urged the government to devise a plan for the conversion of the public debt.

The Minister of Public Worship justified the course taken by the government with regard to the Pon tifical debt. He repudiated any idea of reducing the interest of the public debt, and declared that Italy would faithfully fulfil her engagements. TURKEY. CONSZkIZTINOPLE, TAT 20, EVIITING.

Wilson Saunders, P.R.S., in the chair, an unpa ralleled collection of tricolored pelargoniums was brought together by all the principal growers in the country. Not only was the huge council-room awl adjoining arcade tilled, but the enclosed upper arcades nearthe conservatory were lined with this magnificent display. Very many moat interesting statistics relative to the origin and progress of the growth of these plants were given. An election of fellows took place, when seventeen new candidates were *dried to the list, and the Wolverhampton Horticultural Society admitted into union. The band attended at four o'clock, but the majority of visitors remained in the lee-! ture hall too long to etijoy much of the music. FIUSPENSION OF I..RAZER, TRENHOLN, AND CO.— Messrs.

[BTAMPKD, U. ALDITIONAL. ] a restriction in wages, as lung as capitalists were making, as many of them were, 100 per cent. AU that would happen if a fifth were taken off the working hours, would be that the enormous gains of tho employers would be slightly diminished, while the condition of the whole working class would be greatly improved. The argument drawn from these large profits—which was really the only one worth a moment's attention—has of course since lost all its force. The large profits, out of which the working man's increase of leisure were to be taken, have disappeared, and it is patent to everybody that a diminution of two hours in the day's labour would mean a diminution of one-fifth in the production of the country, and consequently an increase of prices. But, unfortunately, by the time this demonstration of the absurdity of the movement was ready, the rank and file of the Irish and other foreigners, ignorant and bigoted, had entered into it with zeal ; politicians had got committed to it, and it has raged on without rhyme or reason, until it has at last got an act passed in Illinois, and has come near doing so in Pennsylvania and some other States. The act, however, considered ra t a boon to working men, or in fact as anything except so many words or so much paper, is utterly worthless. It simply declares eight hours to be a legal work ing day in the absence of any agreement to the contrary ; but, of course, no employer will now ever engage men without a special contract as to the time. Moreover, it exempts agricultural labourers from its operation, and as those comprise in Illinois nine tenths of the whole working population, of course it can hardly be said to include or to affect the working classes at all. Neverthe less it has led to disturbances amongst the Irish labourers in Chicago, and has unsettled the minds of workmen in other places, diffusing a vague feeling, which nobody can either analyse or account for, that something very fine is going to happen. The value of the State system of this country in affording an opportunity of contrasting different kinds of legislation, and as affording an op portunity for the trial of different experiments in legislation on a small scale, has often been com mented on, but I do not think I ever saw it so well illustrated as in this instance. if the eight hour movement, or any other cause, were to get hold of the majority under a constituted government like that of France or England, and resulted in legislation, the whole country would be convulsed by it, and general derangement of industry produced. But hero the experiment is tried first on a small scale by one State, so that all the others are able to see its effects on capital and labour. It would be difficult to persuade workmen who know as little of the laws of politital economy as the mass of the eight hour men do, that legislative interference with the freedom of con tracts would drive capital out of the country. The process of driving it out would necessarily be a slow one ; manufacturers do not readily emi grate to foreign countries, and the movement, when diffused over a whole nation, would at any one point be hardly perceptible enough to make much impression on the popular mind. But an act is passed in Illinois, and its effects are, as it were, concentrated and displayed in such a way that everybody can see and understand them. The capitalists move over the border, if too seriously in convenienced ; the derangement which the arbitrary limitation of the hours of labour works in industry, and its exact effect on the condition of the working classes, are 'teen displayed on a small scale by the rest of the country, and the delusion is exploded, and similar follies are prevented elsewhere. lam quite satisfied, in fact, that the Illinois enactment has given its death-blow to the eight hours agita tion, that it will now gradually die out in the other States, and that this will prove the last at tempt to interfere with the natural working of the laws of trade.

The estate provided for the endowment now produces 2001. to each lecturer. THE LE JET:NES. These clever youths have lately been attracting much attention in the musical world by their performances of the great organ works of Bach. On various oce,doni, among others at St. Paul's Cathedral, their playing has elicited the admiration and surprise of some of our best professors. So much interest has been excited by the talent of these youths that • public exhibition of their powers was arranged to take place, and took place ac cordingly, at Exeter-hall on Monday night. The two young Le Jenne', Arthur and Charles, whose respective ages are 12 and hi, each play the most difficult pre ludes and fugues of Bach, mostly from memory. These works, generally written in three lines—that is, with an in dependent part for the pedals—form the ultimatum of the art of orgnn•playing, as they also stand alone as being the most elaborate and sublime of all compositions for the instrument. The performances last night comprised several of these difficult pieces by each of the brothers— among others the celebrated peda. fugue by Bach, in E flat, known as the " St. Anne's fugue," from the resem blance of the first two bars of the theme to the com mencing phrase of the psalm tune called Mt Anne's. In his execution of this Charles Le Jeans dis played a command both of the manuals and the pedals roost surprising in so young • performer. Arthur also exhibited by his performances a remarkable facility in wielding the resources of that leviathan of in struments, the organ. In a transcription of Handel's chorus, " But the waters overwhelmed them," his dex terous use of the pedals was shown by hie clever execution of the triplet base which runs throughout that movement. The two brothers also executed various pianoforte pieces, solos and duets—and their performances excited great in terest and loud applause from the large audience which crowded Exeter-hall, among whom we recognised many well-known organist.. MR. W. MACFARRENN MATINEES. This gentleman, who is favourably known as a clever pianoforte player, and a professor of the instrument at the Royal Academy of Music, gave the first of his annual series of three matinees, at the Hanover-square Rooms, on Saturday last. Mr. Madarren relies entirely on the attraction of instrumental music ; and seemingly with sufficient reason, as the room on this occasion was completely filled. The programme included Schitmann's first, and Professor Bennett's only, pianoforte trio, sad Mozart's senate in E minor, with violin ; besides Mr. Macfarren's own sonata for piano and violoncello, and several brilliant solo pieces of his composition. In his various performances Mr. Macfarren displayed consider- able powers of execution, and sound musician•like reading. In the duet sonatas and the trios, he had the advantage of the valuable cooperation of M. Swinton (violin) and Signor Piatti (violoncello). REFUGE FOR HOMELESS AHD DESTFITTE CHILDS/M.—Lin evening the annual meeting of the friend* and supporters of this institution, w hich was founded twenty-four years ago, was held in Exeter Hall, under the presidency of the Earl of Shaftesbury. The report, read by Mr. Williams, the secretary, stated that the year MO; had been the most arduous and the most successful in the history of the society, and the institu tion now provides for the maintenance of 100 boys in the Refuge in Great Queen-street, 100 boys in the training ship Chichester, transferred to the moiety fully equipped With masts and nails by the Admiralty, fur 2,0001. 40 girls in the Kilburn Home, and 44 girls in the Braid-street Home. All these boys and girls are fed, lodged, clothed, educated, and trained to earn their own livelihood. Be sides the refuge work the society support five day, six night, and four Sunday ragged schools. In these schools upwards of 1,000 boys and girls receive a religious and useful education. The receipts for the past year were 0,3891., besides legacies amounting to 6001.. a large proportion of the subscriptions having been specially sent for the internal fittings of the training ship. The total on this side of the account, including the balance from the previous year, was 10.150/., and the ex penditure of the year had been 9,0801. The report having been adopted, the meeting was addressed by the noble chairman, Judge Payne, and other friends of the society, and in the course of the evening a choir of 500 children, who were stationed on the platform behind the chair, including 100 sailor boys in their uniform from the train ing-ship, added to the interest of the proceedings by sing in,• a number of hymns and pieces appropriate to the occasion. The attendance was so overwhelming that the doors had to be closed very early, and hundreds went away unable to obtain admission. ROYAL NAVAL CoLLE4IE, PORTSMOUTH.—Tho result of a special examination of young gentlemen study ing at North Grove-house, Southsea, who had been noroi noted to royal naval cadetships, wag promulgated at Portsmouth on Monday.

UNITED LAW CLERKS' SOCIETY.—The thirty fifth anniversary festival of this excellent society is fixed for Friday, the 14th of June, in the new hall of the Freemasons Tavern, under the chairmanship of Vice Chancellor Malin& The vocalists engaged include Madame Rudersdorff and other artistes of eminence. CARDSHAILPEIDI AT THE Races.—One of the great nuisances in oonnexicn with horseracing is the existence of cardsharpers. These human excrescences infest the rail way stations, take possession of the carriages, hang about the approaches to the racecourse, and, in fact, are dis gustingly obtrusive at every available point. The open and undisguised manner in which these ruffians are per mitted to exercise their lawless calling is a disgrace to the age and a reproach alike to the police authorities and the railway executive. Yesterday, at Loudon Bridge station, the " three mini" fra ternity mustered in strong force, and. although their faces west by this time be perfectly familiar to the railway guards and policemen, there was not the slightest attempt to check or thwart the numerous robberies that were being planned or in the course of actual execution. In fact, we should imagine that the guards and ticket collectors must "stand in," or they would warn the unsuspecting from listening to the invitations of men, who stand at carriage doors and endeavour to force victims into compartments where they are almost certain to be robbed, even if they have sufficient courage to refine to tempt Fortune—save the mark "—at the plaeadde solicitations of these ruffians. The sum of fis. to Epsom and back is rather a stiff charge, and out of the immense revenue that the railway company must thus nap from fre quenters to the race-course, they might surely afford to employ three or four detectives to prevent the impudent and wholesale robberies that are constantly being perpe trated. In the absence of any protective measures, how ever, let us warn our reader.. to endeavour to steer clear of these attempts on their pockets. Whenever playing cards are introduced by a stranger in a railway carriage, no man should he induced to play unless he has some loses cash that he is particularly desirous of getting rid of. And am for listening to the invitations of the little knots of hang dog villians wbo haunt the approaches to the nee-ammo —well, none but donkeys turn aside to crop the Riled* ag the exposes of being stumg.—Sporriag '1 I 1 i
