The sera-o ffi cial North German Gazette states that numerous petitions have arrived in Berlin pro testing against the Tetra:mien of any part of Schleswig to Denmark. BERLIN, Bar. 8. Yesterday the committee on the Loan Bill re , _ cted the government proposal to issue 60 million treasury notes, and adopted an amendment pro posed by Herr Repel, that the amount to be issued should be fixed at 30 millions, repayable in one year. The Minister of Finance was present at the sitting of the committee. To-day in the Upper House, a debate took plan* on the Indemnity Bill.

General Preuil defeated the rebels on the Bth August, killing 150. The intelligence that the Mexican garrison had evacuated Tampico on the Ist August is officially confirmed. The body of Frenchmen, 175 strong, who were entrenched in Fort Casemate, had obtained an honourable capitulation. They arrived at Vei Cruz on the Ist August. The object of Marsh Bazaine's presence at San Luis Potosi was chiefly to make arrangements upon new bases for the defence of the frontiers, which was in future to be entrusted to the Mexicans, and thus prepare the way for the return of the French regiments to France.

The adventures and misdeeds of which the self-styled correspondent accuses the emigrants only exist in the fertile imagination of the editors of the journal in question. The truth is that the Polish exiles devote them selves for the most part to study and labour, and that they are seconded in their efforts by committees which have done everything in their power to alleviate the honourable but unfortunate situation of those individuals. —enemas WALDZIL.

EXPLOBIOII IN THE DO6LYAED.— The whole of the sufferers by the late calamitous accident which took place at this dockyard on Friday, are, it is satisfactory to know, progressing very favourably. It was at first feared that lir. Hooper, foreman of smiths, who was one of those most seriously injured, would have to submit to amputation of his injured in, but there is now every reason to hope that the limb will be saved, the frac ture not being of so serious a character as was at first believed to be the ease. The cease of Edward Willmott, who sustained serious injuries, chiefly from burns and scalds,' as well as that of William Shackleton, who received a compound fracture of the arm, are both progressing very favourably, while the workmen, whose wounds were dressed at the surgery, are all going on very satisfactorily. Captain W. H. Stewart, C. 8., the superin tendent of the yard, who was absent in Scotland, on leave, at the time of the accident, arrived at the dockyard on Friday night, having been telegraphed for to return. During the whole of yesterday be was busily employed in superintending the arrangements connected with the re moval of the mass of materials of the buildings and ma chinery injured and destroyed by the explosion, a large body of workmen being engaged in the operation through out the day. Owing to the extent of property destroyed it will be some time before the whole can be rebuilt, and the work of the departments resumed. The arrangements made by the officials will, however, prevent any inconve &ems arising from the tempo ra ry stoppage of any of the works, which will be in full operation, so far as those de partments are concerned, in a few days. Yesterday a num ber of the officers and men of the Royal Engineers were engaged during the day in making photographs and sketches of, the various buildings, workshop', and ma chinery destroyed by the explosion. Drawings and plans of the machinery and buildings are also in course of prepa ration, to be used by the coroner and jury at the adjourned inquest into the deaths of the two men killed. PARIS, BATORDAY Eva/rm. The Emperor is going to Bambouillet to shoot on Monday. The papers still say that he will leave for Biarritz one day next week. The Marquis de Moustier, the new Minister of ' Foreign Affairs, derives his hitherto little known name from a small village called Moustier, in the Jura mountains, where there is a ruined monas tery. There is genealogical authority for the opinion that Moustier is but a corruption of MOMS tire (monastery). An ancestor of the marquis took part in a battle fought near this village upwards of a thousand years ago by the Christians of Bur gundy against an army of Mussulmans from Pro vence. The family motto is Measlier sera maugre le Sarrazin—a scroll rather ominous for the Sublime Port, if it be true that the mission of the minister now at Constantinople is to settle the "Eastern question." It may be useful to mention, for the information of young attaehis, that the name is pronounced as if there were no " s " in it. M. Welles de La Valette, the deputy, is now act ing as chef du cabinet of the Marquis deLa Valetta, as interim Minister of Foreign Affairs. A question is raised whether the appointment is not illegal, because the constitution establishes an incompati bility between the mandate of a deputy and " any public functions." Colonel Norton, of New York, who has been for some time in Paris as commissioner from New York State for the universal Exhibition, has just been appointed by President Johnson commis sioner on the part of the United States. The cultivation of tobacco has just been autho rized in the Landes. This special favour, long solicited by the department, has at length been obtained through the influence of Count Walowski.

DIFTRDPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS AND THE LABO'CR CLASSES.—An act of considerable importance to the labouring classes with respect to the oompulsory taking of their dwellings for public improvements, was passed among the local statutes of the late session, and will probably forma precedent in future cases. It is known as " The Kensington Improvement Aet," and its object is to widen and make new streets, which it is declared will be of great public utility. The act is not to be enforced before the Ist October next, and it is to be carried into execution by the Metropolitan Board of Works, and they are to raise money and to sharps the same en the rates of the Metropolis Management Act.

The attempts made by theatrical managers to find that valuable rarity, a good acting drama, by offering • " prise " for its prodaction, have not been very en couraging. When Mr. Webster held the Haymarket Theatre he asked the living dramatists of England to com pete for 5001., and all he got in exchange for his money was a very bad comedy by Mrs. Gore, called Quid pro Quo, which never realised the soft of mounting. He never again tried the same mode of supplying himself with acting material ; but from that time has simply bought his dramas, or has obtained them by offering & fair division of profits. The property left by the late T. P. Cooke to stimulate the manufacture of nautical dramas can hardly be said at present to have done more good than Mr. Webster's money. The very moderate prize which the executors of the late sailor-actor were able to offer in the hope of draw. ing out another Mack-Eyed Susan or a Poll and My Partner Joe, has only procured a very dull and undramatic play by Mr. Sims, which was performed at the Surrey Theatre for the first time on Saturday night, under the E title of True to ths Core. Mr. Mous has very unwisely selected • very remote period of history to work upon—the attempted conquest of England by the Spanish Armada. His story is weak and confused, and carried on by a mul tiplicity of somewhat colourless characters. His sailors, dressed in the unfamiliar costume of the sixteenth °eatery, look men like supernumeraries in the Regulate at the Italian Opera, than the Jack-tat who has always delighted a Surrey audience. The Rule Britannia senti ments, what few they are, are as fiat as the patriotism of the Abyssinians. There is no broad-sword combat, no hornpipe, no " hoisting of slacks," no " shiver ing of timbers," no allusions to quids—in fact, none of the usual ingredients of • nautical drama. This freedom from certain stage conventionalities is not accompanied by any partied': strength of dialogue or incident. The drama, if sat conventional in one way, is very conventional in another. It gives prominenee to the everlasting stage gipsy—the dark-eyed bounding creature of the Miami type—who is saved from insult by the hero of the story, and is consumed by a hopeless passion for her preserver. The Huguenot Captain, now performing at the Princess's Theatre, hes a character of this other, and so hare a hundred dramas whose authors are deficient in invention. There are other characters in True to the Core, who are as mysterious as My Lord Burleigh in the Crate and their Elizabethan dresses are not the only things which are toosuggutive of Sheridan's celebrated burlesque. There iano strong central interest in the drama. The plot is simple in idea, but is made complex by the number of agents em. ployed to work it out. A Plymouth pilot and his wife, on their wedding day, are forcibly carried on board the chief vessel of the Spanish squadron, and the pilot te forced to steer the ship into Plymouth Harbour. He runs her par palely on the Eddystone rocks; then saves the remnant of the crew, by swimming and boating, to deliver them as prisoners, and is rewarded handsomely by Queen Elizabeth in person. This drama has been placed upon the Surrey stage with great scenic completeness. A view of Plymouth Hoe, a moving ship, and the wreck on the Eddystone rocks are the principal scenes, and they are all painted in a good bold style by Mr. Gates. The fine stage is shown to advantage in the last scene. There i s • somewhat drowsy incidental ballet, and the execution of the music might be improved, the orchestra being far too weak for such a large and liberally appointed theatre. The acting was as good as could be expected, for the actors had all a little to say and do, but nothing et very striking importance. Mr. Creervick (who has joined Mr. Shepherd in the management), Mr. Henry Marston, Mr. Shepherd, Miss Rate Saville, and Miss Pauncefort were all in the cast, and were all honoured with a noisy and hearty welcome. NEW ROYALTY. This little theatre re-opened for the season en Saturday night, under the management of Miss M. Oliver, with a new burlesque by Mr. Reece, called The Lady of the Lake in a .New Tartan. Miss Oliver's company is strong in young ladies, who can rattle through burlesque porta and her principal low comedians are Mr. Danvers and Mr. RusaelL The little orchestra is well directed by Mr. Her mann. EXHIBITION OF HOPS AND BEER AT DIJON BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, AVOCET 30. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade have received, from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's ambassador at Paris, enclosing a copy of an announcement with reference to a contemplated exhibition of hops and beer, to be held at Dijon, in the month of October next, and of which the following is a translation : ------- INTIVINATIONAL 6x HIBITION 07 HOPS AND BLEB. The Central Agricultural Committee of the Cote d'Or has decided upon organizing an International Exhibition of Hops and Beer, in the year 1866. This exhibition will take place at Dijon, towards the middle of the month of October next. All producers of hope and manufacturers of beer in France and in fore4n countries will be permitted to take part in it. Several gold medals, of at least 300 francs in value, medals of silver, and other rewards, 'lithe distributedto the exhibitors of the best productions. Besides the samples of hops and beer, all kinds of instru ments and apparatus employed in the cultivation of hops and in the manufacture of beer will be received, as well as papers treating of matters connected with either subject. Applications from persons desirous of becoming exhibitors can at once be addressed to 31. Ladrey, Secretary to the Committee, Dijon. The liith of September is fixed as the latest date for the seeding in of such applications. A detailed programme will very shortly be published, which will make known the dillerent arrangements for the exhibition, as well as the precise date at which the packages should be forwarded. WEST AFRICAN MAILS.—LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. —The African Royal Mail steamer Calabar, Captain Croft, arrived here this morning with the usual mails from the west coast of Africa, Madeira, and Teneriffe. The Calabar brings 40 passengers, including four distressed seamen, 3,460 ounces of gold dust, 242 ounces of bar silver, and 20 packages of specie, valued at 3,5001. The following are the latest dates :—Benin, July 2.5 ; Fernando Po, August 3 ; Cameroon*, July 30 ; Old Calabar, August 2 ; Brass River, August 5 ; Bonny, August 5 ; Lagos, August 8 ; Accra, August 10 ; Cape Coast Castle, August 12 ; Cape Palmas, August 14 ; Sierra Leone, August 20 ; Bathurst, August 24 ; Teneri ff e, August 29 ; and Madeira, September 1. The news by this arrival is unimportant. At all the stations except Sierra Leone and Bathurst, trade and health were both good, but trade only was bad at the former, while at the latter the ravages of yellow fever had almost put a stop to business. The Calabar con firms the report of the capture at Madeira of the screw steamer Tornado, by the Spanish war steamer Gerona. REI7TEE'S TELEGRAPH CABLE.

FATAL ACCIDENTS AT LONDON-BRIDGE STEPS. — On Saturday Mr. Payne held an inquest at St. Magnus vestry-room, on the body of a man unknown, found drowned at the foot of the steps of London-bridge, near Fishmonger'-hall. Deceased was found dead at 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning, lying face downward in the mud at the bottom of the steps in question ' and had apparently been dead five or six hours. John An derson, who keeps the dead house of St. Magnus, and other witnesses, ex pressed their conviction that the deceased had walked down the river steps, su pposing they led to Thames-street. A great number of cases were cited, and in one instance, that of three soldiers who bad lost their lives from a simi lar mistake. The coroner confirmed this, and said in the case of the last soldier drowned the jury had recommended to the common council that they should devise somemeans to prevent a recurrence of such accidents. The jury in this case returned a verdict of " Found drowned," and ex pressed regret that the recommendation of a former jury, that a chary should be put across the steps as a protection. bad not been acted up on b y the proper authorities, as if it had the present fataht/ might have been prevented.

Various rumours are current in the district as to the canoe which led to the accident, the earliest promulgated, and the most . popularly received, heing that the embankment over which - the line at this point is carried had given way. This statement, however, is plainly insocinate, and from a per. tonal examination of the scene of the disaster, the more cegle explanation would appear to be that the oft to a siding, over which the engine , was out of order, and that while theeagine and were by it led Of the main line, the train, keeping on the straight, wrenched them over on to their aides and fell over the ' obstacles thus created in the manner deieribed above. DISASTBOIN ,FLOODS THE MIDLAN,D COUNTIES NOTTINGHAM, RATIJEDAY. More rain fell this morning, and the Trent, the Scar, the Dement, the Leen, and the Skit* have all over flowed their banks and the meadows adjoining are all sub merged in water. The food rose very rapidly last night, sad the adjacent Gelds this morning were covered with water. In all pantie of the low lands considerable dump has been susta ined . In some parts of Leicestershire, a • the district round Market Harborough, the cut oorn is Mending in water, and a great deal irretrievably spoilt. There are else hu ndreds of acres in Notts and Derbyshire where the damage to the outstanding corn will be very considerable. Barley is sprouting in all district', and the samples yet to be gathered will be of very inferior qua lity. The sheaves are black and otherwise discoloured, and cannot, under the most favourable eirenzassiumes, be carted in isms than a week. A good deal of wheat has been cut green, and although the harvest in many parte el the midland counties commenced under premistog prospects there is now no doubt that the conclusion will be MOTO disastrous than it has been for a number of years past. In the neighbourhood of Nottingham the meadows on each side the line of railway from that . place to Derby are in many places covered with water, injuring the crops now lying in the fields. The flood has also made its appearance on some of the turnpike roads. On the Derby turnpike, near Wellston-1 ark Lodi", the land is submerged. The over flowing of the Soar in Leicestershire has also caused con siderable injury to the grain crops. There is a great food in the &elvish Valley, and consequences of a very Mau trona nature are expected. In the neighbourhood at Burton Joyce, Gunthorpe, and Hoveringham, in the vale of the Treat, the harvest has been backwarded by the untoward weather, and now the grain is in many places in the water.

CNOLIBA IN CUNBNIMANP.—WO regret to state that cases of Asiatic cholera have shown themselves at two of the Cumberland seaporta—Parton and Workington. The fiat fatal ease reported was one at Parton, near Whitaavea—the victim being Captain John Landon, master of a collier brig, if we mistake not, from Dublin. The vessel arrived ou the 30th—the captain at that time showing signs of the fatal malady, to which be succumbed a few days afterwards. The disease does not appear to have spread further in that neighbourhood ; but from Workington, a port six tulles lower down, two or three oases have been reported. On Monday a woman named Douglu was seized with the inal:ely, end is still dan gerously 111. Two little girls, her daughters, had been taken ill on the previous day, and died in the course of the after noon.

NIGHT WORK IN THE BAKING TRADZ.—A meeting of operative bakers was held on Saturday night in St. James's-hall, for the purpose of adopting ',mammas to carry out the abridgment of the hours of labour and the abolition of night work in the trade. Thu chair was taken by Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P., who, in opening the proceedings, said that, ha v been much struck, on reading a recent report on the Wang trade, by the evidence given in it of the injurious effects upon the moral and physical well being of the journeymen, ceased by the present arrange ments of the trade, he made inquiries on the subject, and was told—and he believed truly told—that the night work and the great length of hours bad a most injurious effect upon the health, well-being, amp mental constitution of the men. He was also told that the continuance of the present system was due to an absence of understanding on the part of the men, and all effort to make their claims acknowledged by the mestere. He haul therefore come to the meeting to ask the operative bakers three questions :- 1. Whether, as a body, they felt the present system in jurious to their health and well-being, and destructive of their domestic comforts and enjoyments? 2. Whether it was true that a change in the present arrangements might be made—that of substituting day work for night work — without any insuperable ditheulty ? 3. W healer they meant, as a body, to make a united effort to obtain a fair consider•- tion for their claims. If those questions were answered in the affirmative, he would use all the influence he possessed to promote the objects of the meeting. Several speakers, including Messrs. Thomson lilackmore. Thomas Thomson, M'Nanghten, Howe, and Bennett, addressed the meeting, answering the chairman's questions in the affirmstive. Two resolutions were _passed. The fi rst pledged the meeting to use every legal and constitutional means to effect a change in the present arrangements of the trade — such change to be the total and unconditional abolition of night work, and the regulation of the hours to be from 5 o'clock In the morning to 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. Tho second resolution recommended united action among the men, and enrolment of them in the amal gamated association, whose object was to secure for the operative baker his moral and social elevation. The pro ceedings were marked by much earnestness and unanimity, and an almost entire absence of recrimination towards the master bakers. Tug ELBoriorr Comm ruSIONS. —At Reigate, on Saturday the commisaionens heardseveral witnesses depose to acts of bribery and treating. One witness said that he was put upon Mr. Moslem's committee mind received 4f. 10s. He asked for 30s. more, and became angry because be did not get it. On the morning of the election be got up • Monsonite, but turned Gowerite at about 11 o'clock. Instead of having to walk, he was picked up by a fly man and driven to the poll " like • gentleman." A voter gave the following odd receipt fur money :—" For two weeks' canvassing with horse and cart, 51." In the course of the day several references were made to Mr. Doulton and his candidature in 1658. One WADS'S said that Mr. Doulton's was the first bribery election in Reigate. He (witness) was engaged to canvass for Mr. Doulton, and received a guinea a day for 23 days. There was plenty of treating whenever evening meetings were held, and, as a rule, there were three or four in • night. A good number of people were paid 10s. or 12e. a day ; and each Friday evening the Royal Oak, at Redhill, where they were paid, looked like a little factory. A voter, who joins the congenital occupations of photographer and condo vocalist, dates his popu6rity from Mr. Moulton's election. Another witness who voted for Mr. Doultoo, thought that there was a deal of fuss" made about that gentle man, and that his sepporteni were " a bright lot." He did not get anything for his vote. A man named Chandler candidly confessed that at election times he looked more to " Avers" than to political principles, and a gardener named Pearce mid that, though canvassed by several people, he told them that he should not vote until five minutes before 4 o'clock. He thought that at that time some am might speak to him about his being "setts. fled."—At Totem, the oommiasioDers again attempted te trace Mr. " Muni," but had Ices success than ever.—AS Crest Yarmouth, the " illustrious stranger" of the con servatives—the man who carried the money from Mr. Nightingale to Mr. Cooper—turned out to be Edward Cooper Aldred, the junior partner in the firm of woollen in London.
