Chambers, M.P., presided over a crowded public meeting, held in Bryanston-hall, Orchard-street, Portman square, in support of this measure. Mr. Hill, the secre tary to the Abolition of Sunday Labour Committee, ex phoned that the object of the meeting was to get the bill extended to the fish and poultry trades, which, by one of its provisions, would be allowed to carry on business up to 9 o'clock in the morning on Sundays. Mr. Clambers said he highly approved of the proposal, believing it to be for the interest of man that Sunday should be held sacred against labour, and that this opinion was making way in the metropolis. Sunday should be a day of rest and re laxation, and if tradesmen generally could be brought to that way of thinking he was satisfied the House of Com mons was quite ready to give expression to their views. Mr. George Brookes, of Newgate-market, in proposing the first resolution, pointed out that there was no necessity for Sunday trading on the ground that fish and poultry were perishable articles, and that the true secret for some masters upholding the practice was that it enabled them to get rid of inferior articles at higher charges. He was afraid the West-end clubs were now the most to blame for this state of things, for they in truth were its chief sup porters. The resolution expressed a desire that the pro- posed bill should prohibit the Sunday trade in fish and poultry entirely, It being proved that there is no difficulty whatever in the delivery of the Sanday's goods on Satur day. The )tee. Dr. Burns seconded the resolution, and stated that besides many boys, upwards of a thousand men were employed on Sundays in these trades. The resolu tion was unanimously adopted, and a petition to parlia ment in favour of the bill having been agreed to, the meet ing separated after passing a vote of thanks to the chairman. ----- Tea Nsw DUTY ON Doan.—Yesterday the now act relative to duty on dogs, which received the royal assent on Friday, and which will take effect from and after the sth inst., was issued. According to the strict letter of the law, on Saturday all persons keeping dogs should be licensed, and the Commissioners of the Inland Revenue are to cause notices to be placed on the doors of churches stating where such licenses are to be obt.dned, with a pro- 1 viso that no proceeding or act done by any person in pur suance of the ant is to be invalid by reason of such notice not having been affixed. From and after Friday next in England, and the 24th May in Scotland, the assessed taxes on dugs are to cease. In the year mentioned the duty is to be reduced from 12s. to 7s. No person is to be charge able with duty to a greater amount than 23/. 2s. fur any number of hounds, or 51. sa. fur any number of greyhounds is that year. From the sth inst. the new duty to be paid annually on taking out a license is be. on every dog. The duties are to be under the management of the Commis dawn of the Inland Revenue, and the licenses are to be in . . I the form directed by, the ooinmisaioners. A register of licenses is to be kept, which may be inspected by a magis trate or constable. The penalty for keeping a dog without a license, or keeping& greater numberthan that licensed, is to be 5/., and the person in whose custody, charge, or sion, or in whose house or premises any dog " st o ar )I; found or seen," shall be deemed to keep it unless the con trary be proved ; and the owner or master of hounds is to be the person keeping them. The non-production of a license to an excise or police officer when required " within a reasonable time," subjects the person to a like penalty. Dogs under the age of six months are not to be liable to the duty. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAIL NAT.—The WharnclifTe meeting of the shareholders of this railway, which was advertised to be held yesterday afternoon at the International Hotel, London-bridge, was adjourned until the Pith inst., acoonling to • subsequent notice, in which it was stated that the bills which were to have been considered by the proprietors were not ready to be submitted. Colonel Barttelot, the deputy chairman of the company, °coupled the chair at the meeting which was formally held yesterday, and called upon the secre tary to read the bills, which were as follows :---•• A bill fur vesting certain powers of the Surrey and Sunset Junction Railway Company, the Chichester and Blidhurst Railway Company, and the West Sussex Junction Railway Company, in the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, for authorising the last named company to execute new works and altera tions of authorised works, and to acquire addi tional lands in Surrey, Sussex, and Kent, for ex tending the time for exercising the powers relating to cer tain railways in Sussex, for sanctioning arrangements with the South Eastern Railway Company, and for other pur poses." " A bill for enabling the Surrey and Sussex Junc tion Railway Company to make alterations in the nicele of constructing their railway, to acquire additional lands, and for other purposes." ' A bill for making a railway at Smithies, in the county of Southampton, and for other purposes." The motion in favour of adjournment liming been moved by the cluxinnan, and seconded by a member of the board, • shareholder asked whether, considering the difficulties which surrounded the company, it would not be better to abandon the step which they proposed adopting. The chairman said that at the adjourned meeting the directors would enter into explanations which he ventured to believe would be moot satisfactory. The same shareholder said he was aware there would be great opposition to what the directors proposed to carry out, and he now referred to the subject with the view of urging upon the board the desirability of etopiiing where they were and observing a rigid economy. Another shareholder, who coincided with his fellow proprietor, observed that the entire body of shareholders were now awakened to a sense of the position of the company. He regretted the adjournment be he had intended to move that the principle of the bill should be negatived. The meeting was then adjourned for a fortnight. The Wharncliffe meetings of the Surrey and Sussex Junction Railway, the Chichester and Midhurat Railway, and the West Sussex Junction Railway Companies, advertised to be held at the same time and place, were also adjourned. MELLIS AND EYE RAILWAY.—This short line, which connects Eye with the Great Eastern system at Mellia, was opened yesterday. There are to be fi ve trains daily each way. The line, which is • single one, has no intermediate libations, being only four miles in length. The traffic will be worked by the Great Eastern, at 50 per cent. of the gross receipts. The undertaking has been carried out p.incipally through the efforts of Sir E. C. Kernson, Lord Hartismere, and other influential local gentlemen. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1867. THE OPENING OP THE PARIS EXHIBITION OF 1867. (Box OUR hPECIM, CORRESPONDZNY.) PARIS, MONDAY EYZNING. . _ Paris, astir betimes always, was exceedingly ',antitank to-day, and wore more than her usual holiday look. Nothing can be gayer and prettier than Paris en fife on a cloudless spring day. Laughing, brightly attired crowds gradually filled up all the broad avenues leading to the Punt d rens. The Place do la Concorde and the Quays were packed, and flags floated everywhere above the crowds. The l'arisians were in the best spirits. Every bourgeois rose, I have no doubt, rubbing his hands with delight that the opening of the golden season had come at last. The backwardness of the season marred a little the grand effects of the packed Place do la Concorde and Quays, and the crowded Champs Elys6es, as it left undeveloped the full beauties of the Exhibition park. The effect of the main way, under the splendid green canopy to the Exhibition as approached from the Pont de Jafna was not grand; but the burnished gateway blazed in the sunlight, and the eye was led along the cool vista made by the bee-bespangled drapery direct to the opening to the main transept. I need not describe the block of carriages and crowds. The paving of the Avenue Rapp was finished only last night, and all was disorganization there until to-day. For tunately my pink card, admitting me to the scene of the important part of theceremonial, led me to the eastern or Sulfren entrance,where there was crowd ing enough, but crowding of a gentle and quiet kind. The way into the building by this entrance affords the most unfavourable impression of it, for on both aides there are merely shops and space to let. The opening ceremony was of the simplest ima ginable description. Thu Emperor and Empress drove to the building in an open caleche, and in their cali:cho passed under the green canopy to the main doorway, where they were met by the Impe rial Commission, headed by M. Le Play. All officials not in uniform were in evening dress. The Emperor wore evening dress, with the Grand Cordon of the Legion ; and the Empress, a purple satin tarn—which, by the 'ray, was colourless with dust before her Majesty had accomplished the tour of the Machinery Gallery. The beautiful weather gave a lively air to the scene. The Exhibition de rived all the advantage it was possible to derive from weather; but the unfinished places obtruded their unsightly cases everywhere upon the eye. The great functionaries of state attended, covered with decorations; the Fine Art Galleries were filled with ladies in brilliant toi lettes ; there were plenty of strange figures— Persians, Egyptians, Japanese, and Chinamen ; the Academicians appeared in their green em broidered coats ; our redcoats were to be seen at the English staircase commanding a few Sappers ; and the Imperial progress round the building was marked by hearty cheering, especially in the Britishaection. But, with all the spring weather, the brilliant uniforms and dresses, the Hags and bands, &c., the opening of the Great Exhibition of 1867 must be described as a very tame affair indeed. On all sides the feeling was against the opening of an unfinished place. It was understood that the Emperor himself went reluctantly through the ceremony. His Majesty appeared with nogreat company of guests; he was nut e ven in state apparel. He had been advised that the balance of argument was is, favour of a punctual opening, and he yielded—but he wisely abstained from drawing kingly guests to it. In truth, this Exhibition will be, in many respects, beyond compare with any that have preceded it. It is now, however, only a vast undertaking in progress in every part. The Exhibition is in the hands of workmen. The packing-cases lie thick, and unopened in many departments. There are exhibiting nations that have not yet received any of their goods. In short, albeit the utmost was done, and cleverly done, to cover the unfinished parts the impression remains that the ceremony of to-day is merely a form which could not, unfortunately, be avoided. His Majesty, on reaching the part of the gallery where the English Commissioners and conspicuous visitors were grouped, talked for s few minutes with Lord Houghton and Mr. Cole. The British cheers from the crowds in the Machi nery Gallery were vehement, and appeared to de light the Imperial party. The Emperor looked well, but walked heavily, leaning upon a stout stick. There were about sixteen English jurors in the gallery, fronted by six Royal Commissioners, Lord Houghton, Sir William Gordon, the Pro vost of Edinburgh, Mr. E. M. Ward, R.A., the Hon. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, Chief Commissioner for Canada, the Mayor of Limerick, &c. At the foot of the staircase of the gallery, by the English department, were the English Sappers and two men-of-war's men of her Majesty's gunboat Dasher, who are here in charge of the Admiralty models. In the procession was the venerable Baron James de Rothschild, covered with orders ; and followed by a servant carrying a chair. The French ministers in the procession were : the Ministers of Agriculture and Commerce, the Minister of State, the Prefect of the Seine, the Minister for War, M. le Comte de Nienwekerke, ii the Duke de Basano. The Countess of Aguado was in attendance on the Empress. The pleasantest impression the Empress carried away from to-day's ceremony was, I will venture to assert, the lusty cheers which greeted her as she issued from the English picture saloon, and passed out to the carriage. An enthusiastic British exhibitor cried, as the Imperial party were passing out of the vestibule, " Ono cheer more for the Empress," and the Empress Eugenie departed all smiles. There were about 37,000 persons present. The number of season-tickets sold is under 8,000. Directly the opening ceremony was at an end the crowd began to fade away, and before six o'clock the palace and grounds were quieter than they have been for weeks past. The French lighthouse showed the Parisians the whereabouts of the great Exhibi tion of 1867 in the evening ; and, in Paris, there were a few illuminations. atm.—The Patric, of the 31st March, says : "The Moniteur confirms, in accordance with the despatches of the Bth March, the news which we gave, viz. that General Geffmrd, President of the Haytian republic, hadcompletely Pact down the movement that had taken place at Port-au• rince. We may add, from other news received dated the 11th of the same month, that President Geffrard had convoked the chambers for the 15th March ; and that the new ministry formed by him had been accepted by the country, which enjoyed complete tranquillity.' DESPATCH OP AMERICAN MAILS.—SORTFIAMP- ToN, APRIL 2.—The North German Loyd steamship Deutschland, Captain Wessels, sailed hence at 2 o'clock thi* afternoon with the German, French, and English mails / 75 cabin and a full complement of steerage pas sengers, and • large cargo, including jewellery from Havre, value 1,200/. The steamers of this line now leave here on Tuesdays instead of Wednesdays., as heretofore, under contract with the United States government, the Deutschland being the first departure ander the new arrangement. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The prepara tions for the approaching show of this society at Bury St. Edmund's are making active progress. The Great Eastern Railway Company have about 50 men at work laying down additional sidings and providing other accommodations. A loading dock is to be provided on the ground adjoining the railway, so that cattle and implements m►y be delivered upon the show field. Near the centre of the ground, and along the line of a former footpath leading to the railway, the erection of a line of buildings has been commenced, the materials for which arrived shortly after the close of the Plymouth show in D 165, and which have since been stowed away. These buildings comprise the offices of the directors, the council, and the stewards, also the veteri nary office, and acconinoxiation for the men having eharge of stock, who are required to sleep on the ground. The main entrance is to be on the west side of the field nearest Eutgate-street. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. WPM'S meow's.) THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION. BERLIN, APRIL 2. Contradictory reports in reference to the Luxem burg question are in circulation. The Post of this city asserts, on the authority of a private telegram from the Hague, that the sale of the Duchy to France is abandoned. BERLIN, Aran 2, Emma. The semi-official North German Gazette of this evening, in an article referring to the eventuality of a war between France and Prussia on the Luxemburg question, says : ' " Luxemburg would by no means compensate for the sacrifices which would be entailed by war. Even if victorious, France would only once more evoke a former and now happily extinguished enmity. France should well consider the question on all aides before she attacks a people defending its national integrity. War would also certainly place in question that domestic stability which the French government has striven to achieve." PARIS, APRIL 2. The Moniteur du Heir publishes the following remarks upon the interpellation upon the Luxem burg question addressed to Count Bismarck by Herr von Bennigsen in the North German Parlia ment:—" These interpellations, which might have had an unpleasant result in the present condition of Europe, leave upon us on the whole a favourable impression. Although several of Herr von Ben ; nigsen's assertions might be seriously disputed, he has plainly admitted how desirable is :the maintenance of relations of cordiality ; and good neighbourhood between the German and French nations, and how disastrous would be a war between the two countries. Count Bismarck pointed out in dignified language the necessity that Germany should take the just susceptibilities of France into account, and also made several important declarations. Ho admitted that Luxemburg was an independent state of which the King of Holland could dispose in the exercise of his sovereign rights and upon his own responsi bility. He did not attempt to contest the indubi table fact that the inhabitants of the Duchy of Luxemburg experienced a strong repugnance to being incorporated with Germany, and he insisted lastly upon the influence which the desire of main taining pacilic and friendly relations with its power ; ful neighbour must exercise upon the policy of the Prussian government."

Tim Ram Exinsmow.—The Arenir National of yesterday, in its account of the opening of the Paris Exhibition, says :—" There is a cause which injures uni versal exhibitions, and which must in the long run put an end to them, and that is their frequency No 'great revo lution occurs every five years in the methods of men's labour to justify a universal exhibition of the products of industry ; the era of progress is not counted by lustre. What has occurred in the world of industry during the five years which have elapsed since the Universal Exhi bition of London? Nothing The great ques tion is to know whether the English h►ve decidedly succeeded in disputing with us the superiority in certain industrial arts. Could this not be settled at less cost! In vain are attempts made to excite the imagination, good sense protests against these palaces, these gardens, these constructions a /a Poienskin, in which so many millions have been swallowed up, and the recol lection of which will have disappeared in a few months. We leave the Champ de Mars thoroughly convinced, as far as we are concerned, that these words may be inscribed over each of the entrances : " The Last Exhibition of Industry." THE CESSION Or RUSSIAN AMERICA TO THE UNITED STATEB.—The Russian organ, Le Nord, says : " The transatlantic telegram which announced; the meet ing of the United States Senate in order to receive oum munizations of a treaty for the cession of Russian America, contains nothing which ought to surprise us. This cession, if we are not mistaken, is the consequence of negotiations dating back several months. It is easy to see the mutual advantages th►t Russia and the United States must derive from such a transaction. These American countries, hitherto all but unproductive to Russia, owing to their distance from the centre of an empire already so vast, will be more easily vivified by Yankee expansion ; and the current of ooloniaation and commerce which will ulti mately be established between the Asiatic and American seaboard of the Pacific will powerfully aid the prosperity of Eastern Siberia and the basin of the Amour." [STAMPED, id. ADDITIONAL.] THE REFORM LEAGUE AND THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. A deputation from the Reform League waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in Downing-street, yesterday afternoon. Lord Derby had promised to be pre sent, but owing to his absence from temporary illness, 1 , Lord Stanley attended as his substitute. The deputation numbered about 300, and consisted of representatives of branches in all parts of the country. The marching of so , large a body along Parliament-street caused much excite ment. The interview was held in the large room at the residence of the First Lord of the Treasury. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, upon taking hie seat, regretted that the Premier was absent through indis position, and ensured the deputation of the gratification he himself felt in meeting them. He and his noble friend (Lord Stanley) were prepared to listen with the utmost attention to what was to be brought forward. Mr. /STALES, president of the League, said the present interview had been sought in consequence of the minis terial statement that the government were prepared in all ' sincerity to bring the question of reform to a settlement. (Hear, hear.) It was not for the weal of England that that settlement should be longer delayed, and there was a deep responsibility both upon the government and the House of Commons. Confiding in the siaserity of the government, he and hit friends felt it their duty, as representing • very large majority of the working-classes, to wait upon the Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to state frankly in what respects they considered the bill now before the House of Commons was not calculated to effect the settlement that was so much desired. Thy Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the House of Commons the other night, had said that he had received scores upon SCOTCS of communications from working men of all classes in favour of the rate-paying and residential conditions attached to household suffrage. The Reform League read the report of that statement with the utmost astonishment. ((hem.) They did not question that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had received the communi- ' cations, but they denied in the strongest possible way that they represented the true feeling of the majority of the people of this country. (Cheers.) On the contrary, they were a gross misrepresentation, and he here openly chal lenged the authors to substantiate them. With the greatest respect be represented on behalf of the deputa tion, that they objected altogether to the ratepaying clauses. They looked upon all three clauses, including all fancy franchises, as so many invidious distinctions and injurious reflections upon the position and character the working classes. (Cheers.) They regarded them ea the fruit of that groundless fear and suspicion that were prevalent as to the swamping of property and wealth by the working classes, and that seemed to spring only from an idea that those classes were in a continual state of conspiracy. (Cheers.) A bill without • lodger franchise could not be satisfactory to the people of the country. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had claimed to be the father of reform, and it was to be hoped that he would not in the future be so unnatural as to abandon his learn offspring. (Laughter.) What the working classes earnestly desired was a large, frank, and broad extension of the suffrage, so extensive that it would indicate a manly and generous confidence in the great body of the people. It was neither wise nor safe to leave the question of reform any longer unsettled. (Cheers.) Mr. ilarrtn, a working man, said the deputation was anxious about two points ; first, that they should not mis understand her Majesty's government ; and secondly, that her Majesty's government should not misunderstand them. With respect to the first, they were in the hands of the government ; with respect to the second, it was the duty of the deputation to address the ministers present in the plainest of terms, and he was sure the working man's plainness of speech would not be construed into an offence. Although they belonged to • society that advocated and believed in manhood suffrage as the only true measure of reform, they were not impracticable men. But they could not accept the government bill as it now stood. It was unsatisfactory and utterly obnoxious. (Cheers.) Having pointed nut the features of the bill to which he object ed , the speaker cor.cluded thus :—Our principles are not of to-day or yes terday. In days gone by they have consigned some of us, myself amongst the number, to prison. (Cheers, and " - Hush !") To-day they bring us, through you, to the foot of the throne. We offer to the throne the homage of our loyalty ; we offer to the government our objections to the measure affecting us. These are the weapons which those of us who are called agitators have used against you ; and now we respectfully request that you will disarm us, and leave us without the opportunity of rallying the country against the government. (Cheers.) We beg of you to reconsider this matter. We feel satis ' fied you have as keen an appreciation of your coantry's honour as any to whom we could address ourselves, and ' we hope you believe we are as incapable of doing wrong to ; our country as you are yourselves. (Cheers.) In , times of danger the blood of the working man has flowed as freely as the blood of the proudest peer, and we beg of you to remember that what we were in times out we arc now. Raise us to the ranks of citizenship and we shall raise you to the ranks of heroes. Raise us above the level of serfs, and then history will speak of you as men , who had a glorious opportunity and embraced it. (Cheers.) I do not wish to harms you with what are called senti ments. lam • representative working man, and have been twenty years agitating this great question of reform. I weary now of the work, and would it were settled. We - come therefore with all humility, but with conscious dignity, to ask for justice. (Cheers.) If you give it to us we shall ever he grateful. We cannot tell how the ' government are going to deal with us, but we can tell them if the bill now before parliament is passed in its present i form, we shall look upon the signing of that bill as the signal for renewed agitation. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Memo., shoemaker, spoke upon the subject of the lodger franchise , the absence of which from the present bill he insisted was a great injustice. Referring to the reform debates of last year, be said his class was 'cantle , lcusly and shamefully vilified ; for the persons who were guilty of this the working classes had no regard, but the acclamations with which they were received hail created • gulf between classes which might now be bridged over. ' Speeches upon tenus of residence, the savings bank clause, the compound householders question, &c., were made by Messrs. HOWELL (the secretary) and Mr. CRENEIL The speeches having lasted over an hour, and anxious glances having been cast at their watches by the Chan , cellor of the Exchequer and Lord Stanley when the time ' had passed for their appearance on the Treasury bench, Mr. BEALES said he was sorry so much time was being occupied, but he wished to ask two gentlemen from large provincial towns to say a few words. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—We are stopping away from our duties in the House of Commons, Mr. , Bealea. We do it cheerfully, howevtir, and shall be glad ' to hear your friends. I Alderman Itatowix, of Birmingham, and Alderman I BARTER, of Leeds, then delivered brief addresses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply, said—l , believe we have hail the pleasure of listening to all the ' speakers mentioned by Mr. Beale*, and your views have r been placed before Inc and my noble friend with ability ' which no one can question, and listened to I hope with that attention they deserved. (Hear, hear.) You will allow me to say, without any offence, that I collect from , the observations you have made that you are the professors of what are called extreme opinions. Penult me further to observe that there are also in this country professors of extreme opinions which are of a very different character from those I have heard this afternoon. They are very powerful, and perhaps very numerous. They are very in fluential, and they are of opinion that there is no necessity to improve our parliamentary representation—(oh, oh) — and they take upon all the questions you have advocated with so much fervour conclusions exactly dif ferent from those which you adopt. Now the morel I drew from that is, that if anything is to be done there is • great necessity for mutual forbearance, mutual conces sion, mutual conciliation, and mutual compromise. (Hear, hear.) lord Derby has introduced a bill into parliament for the improvement of the representation of the people, of which, although some very hard words have been used in this room respecting it, I believe impartial persons of consideration, even although they might not approve of ft altogether, must admit it is based upon very popular prin ciples. (Emphatic shouts of "No, no.") Those who say " No, no" are gentlemen of extreme opinions. (Laughter.) Now I dare say if I was receiving a deputation of gentlemen holding extreme opinions in an opposite direction they would say " Yes, yes." You may depend upon it if )au wish to arrive at army solution of political difficulties, you will not settle them by calling out on the one side, " No, no," and on the other Yes, yea." It is only by mutual concessions, mutual conversation, mutual understanding and conference between different parties, that an adjustment can be arrived at, which, although you may not completely approve of it, will on the whole be advantageous to the country, and will assist in the progressive development of its manifold resources. I here recur again to the observations I made before, that on the whole it will be admitted by impartial persons that the bill now introduced into the House of Commons is one which is based upon popular principles. (Loud shouts of I " No, no.") No one who undertakes to introduce anygreat measure into parliament, supposes that he introduces • perfect measure, or imagines that it will per through the ordeal of parliamentary criticism without alteration and improvement. And I may be allowed to say before vou, because I know there are some of you who have indulgral in very different observations upon that assembly, that I have been amember of the House of Commons 30 years, ' and that I have now the hononr of being the leader of that house. (Hear, hear.) The House of Commons has not on the whole supported me, and perhaps, therefore, I may be considered an impartial witnera—(laughter)— but I believe there is no aseenibly in the world which, collectively, is animated by purer, or more patriotic semi- (TWOPENCE manta. (" Oh, oh," and derisive laughter.) I dare say you would be very much annoyed if when in the House of Commons this League was spoken of there were a murmur of disapprobation ; and I say that when I go back to the House of Commons they will not be pleased to know that when I vindicated its; conduct and character my remarks were received with a murmur of disapprobation. Depend upon it when there is a better understanding between the House of Commons and assemblies like th is, these mur murs will disappear. (" Hear, hear," and " Du us justice, then.") Now, let me again recur to what I began, by say ing, no bill can be supposed to pass through the House of Commons without much criticism and without much alteration, and, as I believe, without much improvement. All the a that have been made to-day will be remembered, and will be considered. (Hear, hmr.) I have only now to thank you for the honour you have done us, and to say, I trust this conversation has not proved un satisfactory. (Cheers.) There were calls for Lord Stanley but his lordship, remarking that he agreed with his colleague, merely apolo gised for his father's absence, who very much regretted not being able to attend. Mr. Br.st•-i thanked Mr. Disraeli for granting the inter view, and the proceedings closed. GREAT WESTERN RA IL WAY OF CANADA.

ADDRESS TO THE KIND OF DENMARK. A deputation of the principal Danish residents in Lon don had an audience of his Majesty the King of Den mark at Marlborough-house yesterday, when an address which bad been adopted at a Danish meeting held last week at Radley's Hotel, Blackfriars, was presented to hie Majesty. His Majesty received the deputation most gra ciously, and in reply to the address he expressed I.is regret that her Majesty the Queen of Denmark could not be present, as she was obliged to be II ith the Princess of Wales, just at that time. His Majesty further spoke to the following effect :—" I thank you, gentlemen, for the feelings you have expressed in your addxsit, which it has given me greet pleasure to receive, and I beg you to give my best thanks to all your cos strymen here. I have been rejoiced to see that the loyal Nati. monte entertained at home arc not wanting amongst the Danes abroad. lam sorry that I cannot say anything very encouraging or reaseurim upon the subject which is neatest to the heart of all of Danes—l mean with regard to our dessiy beloved breth. en in Slesvig. I fear it will be some time before that metier will be settled. Even the new principle of nationality which now prevails everywhere seems to bo disregarded in our case, where a nationality is torn asunder. With deep entotb n have I received, even up to the latest time, prJofs of the moat unfliuchiog fidelity to Denmark on the part of the lithe- Wants of Slesvig. Even in the southernmost and entirely I German districts it is said, ' Lieber mit Danentark uterben ale mit Preussen verderlx n.' " (Rather I die with Denmark than rot with Prund4.) Mr. A. Delcomyn, one of the members of the deputition, then asked his Majesty to present the most humble greet ings of the Daniels residents in London to her Majesty Ithe Queen of Denmark and to her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and assure the latter of the profound sympathy which all Danes here have constantly felt for her royal highness during her Mama, with their best hopes for her speedy recovery. Mr. Delcomyn also expressed i the gratitude of the Danish community to his Majesty for his liberal donation to the fund for indigent Danes in London, and to H.R.H. the Princess of Wales for the many proofs she has given of her interest for that and other Danish institutions. The King assured the depute. i lion that the Princess of Wales would be very glad to hear of the sentiments expressed by the Danis in regard to her, , and that they thought of her so kindly. His Majesty was I pleased to converse with the members of the deputation for some time upon several topics before the deputation , withdrew. REVIDION AND CONeOLIDATION OF THE S tNITART LAWA.—A deputation from the National Aseoeiation for the Promotion of Social Science, consisting of Sir J. Kay Shuttleworth, Bart., Mr. H. W. Rumsey, Dr. Hardwicke, Mr. Gael, Rev. W. L Clay, secretary ; Dr. A. H. Jacob, of Dublin ; Dr. Lmikester, 1.R.5., Mr. James Heal, Mr. Charles Hawkins, Mr. Layard, M.P.. Mr. Rendle, Captain Clode, Nr. Pocock, Dr. Stewart, and ('olonel Sykes, M.P., waited on the Duke of Marlborough at the Privy Council. °Rice, yesterday, to present • memorial in favour of the consolidation of the sanitary laws. Mr. Layartl, Dr. Laakester, Mr. Rumsey, Dr. Stewart, and Mr. Junes Had addressed the Duke of Marlborough, after which, his Grace the President, in reply, said be was mach indebted to the gentlemen of the deputation for the manner in which they had represented the facts. Of the provisions of the sanitary acts, several were of a tentative character, and others of such confused order that it was impossible for him then to give an opinion as to their consolidation. Of the late Sanitary Act nothing could be expected so early as to its working, some time must be allowed to ascertain its weak points before consolidation. The act ought to be carried out, and he thought it would be. Other acts might be improved by further legislation. The consolidations of areas and other details would be • matter of great consideration, and without pledging the government either one may or the other, he would take care that it had his very best attention. The depu. tatMn then withdrew. Tho members of the Birmingham Reform League are making preparations for another "demonstration' . on Easter Monday. Mat of the trades have agreed to take part in the procession, which is to be conducted in a man. ner similar to that held last August. At a meeting held last Friday evening it wax resolved that the reform modal just struck be adopted and worn in the procession, as was done by the political unionists in 1832. THE. UNIVERRITY BOAT Rai 'F.. —The assemblage at l'utney was yesterday again large, and included many rowing celebrities, who eyed the performance of the rival crews with the most intense interest. The Cantabs were first afloat, at a little before 12 in the day, and went for a paddle in the second boat they had brought with them from their university. They are, of course, maim+ to ascertain which suits them best, and when they have de termined that knotty point, will make their election. While they were at the point below the Crab-tree their opponents were in full swing in the same direction, and peaked them. They rot into their boat two or three minutes after the Cmitabe were under way, and pulling steadily down to the aqueduct, turned to row the course chosen for the nice next Saturday week. They exercised the esme caution as heretofore in their racing, but the pace was much in creased, and their oars did not hang to much at the end of each pull. The cutter itself was longer, and impressed the beholders with the most favourable opinion of their progress. The tide was very dead under them, but their boat went very fast. They varied from 31 to 37 strokes per minute, and, with wind against them part of the way, did the distance without apparently turning a hair, in 241 minutes. T hey were " coached' by Mr. Woodgate. The odds of 7to 4 are, after what was done yesterday, still likely to be offered freely. The ('nntabs, pruden tially feeling that it will be unwise to take too much out of themselves, only rowed down at from 32 to 34 strokes per minute from Chiswick. Neither clew will go out this morning.
