To-day, in the Upper House, the committee on the Annexation Bill recommended the adoption, without alteration, of the bill in the amended , form in which it was passed by the Lower House. The bill thus amended was adopted by a large majority. Previous to the vote Herr von Busche-Streithorst pot in a protest against the annexation of Hallow. The committee of the Chamber of Deputies on the Loan Bill definitively resolved to-day to recom mend to the house the rejection of the loan of 60 millions demanded by the government, and the adoptionof thebillaa amended in committee, autho rising the issue of treasury bonds to the value of 30 million thalers, repayable in one year. The Minister of Finance declared that this amendment was unacceptable, and added that the government attached no importance to the resolu tion of the committee, as it hoped that a more favourable result would be obtained from a full house. The ratifications of the treaties of alliance were exchanged on the Bth inst. between Prussia and Oldenburg, Saxe-Weimar, Brunswick, Anhalt, Altenburg, the two Schwarzburgs, Waldeck, the two Lippes, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Reuss (younger branch), and the Manse Towns, and between Pr m sla and the two Mecklenburg' to-day. . Up to the present time the negotiations with Saxony have not referred to that kingdom's future position in the North German Confederation. Before entering into negotiations on this sub ject Prussia demands that the Saxon troops should evacuate Konigstein. It is believed that the evacuation of that fortress will take place very shortly. NASSAU. WIESBADEN, Sin. 10. A meeting of liberal members of the for mer diet of the Duchy of Nassau has unani mously voted an address to the King of Prussia and Count von Bismarck, acknowledging the annexation of the duchy, and requesting a decision supporting the interests of the country in the claims made by the Duke to the ducal domains. A deputation of seven members has been chosen to present the address. THE INSURRECTION IN CANDIA. CONSTANTINOPLE, 81: T. 8. Mustapha Paella leaves here to-day for Candia, with conciliatory propositions from the Porte to the Cretan insurgents. Many of the Mussulman inhabitants of the rural districts of Candia have abandoned their homes and taken refuge at Canes. The Turkish authorities declare, notwithstanding the assertions of the Greek journals, that not a 'single drop of Greek blood has been shed since the outbreak of the disturbances. They declare, moreover, that the Christians have assassinated several Mussulmans, and seized the cattle and pro perty of those who had fled to Canes. INDIA. (By direct O►erlend Telegraph.)

ACCIDENT TO A MAIL TRAIN.—To the list of accidents which have of late occurred on the North Eastern Railway, the record of one which happened on Saturday night has to be added. In this instance • mail train had an extremely narrow escape. The cause was simple, yet one which ought not, by any possibility, to have been capable of happening. The train which came to grief was the eight o'clock mail from Hull on Saturday evening. It consisted of an engine, a tender, a guard's van, two composite carriages (first and second classes combined), and the van occupied by the mail guard. In advance of it was a goods train for Normanton, of great length, and to allow the mail to pass the former was shunted at Selby on a siding a little distance beyond that sta tion. This siding leaves the main line just beyond the station, and at the other end (some half mile awa)) re joins the main line, rendering it accessible in either direc tion. The goods train had been taken to the points most distant from the station and backed into the siding. The goods train was unfortunately backed a little too far, the last truck being pushed so near to the main line at the points nearest the Selby station that the buffer projected over the line. When the mail train approached, the en gine came in contact with the buffer of the truck. The side of the engine and tender were grased or scraped, the guard's van more extensively damaged, some of the han dles and steps of the two carriages torn off. The 8.50 p.m. express, which is timed to pass Selby shortly after the mad, was stopped, and in no way endangered. The passengers of the mail train suffered nothing beyond • shaking of the nerves, and were forwarded with little delay by the express.—Eastern Morning News. AUSTRIA. (nom ova OWN mar.) VIENNA, SEPT. 7. This morning the Emperor left for Ischl, and this evening the Tavernieus, Baron Sennyey, returns to Beath. He will come back to Vienna as soon as his Majesty is again here. There is every reason to believe that at the conclusion of peace with Italy the intentions of the Emperor with regard to Hungary will be made known. The steps pro posed to be taken have been defined in a formal plan now before his Majesty, and which only awaits his approval in order to be made public. As I said above, there is hardly any doubt whatever that the views and wishes, thus formalised, of those to whom the difficult task has been entrusted will be published at the conclusion of the peace, though it is hardly to be expected that the names of those who are to form the Hungarian ministry will be made known at the same time. It were most de sirable that it should be so in order that when the Landtag is opened at Pest h, the ministry might at once take Its place hi. the house. This would produce an excellent impression, and at the same time public business would be furthered by it. That the Emperor will accept the propo sitions laid before him, and now in his hands, is expected with confidence, and the more so as Count Maurice Esterhazy, whose uncompromising policy always made itself felt hitherto, is now absent from Vienna, and will, moreover, not return hither ; not at least in his capacity of adviser to the crown. Count Esterhazy has not formally resigned his poet. He has gone into the country, and by the time he returns the changes that have taken place will render his con tinuance in the ministry an impossibility ; for the altered position of Austria makes an alteration in the system necessary. Count Menadorff will also make way for a successor—not however for M. de Hubner—as the necessary consequence of the changed state of things. If Count Belcredrs views are not disregarded—if certain things which be has proposed and looked upon as vital necessities are accepted in his sense—and amongst these are con ciliatory measures for Hungary—it is not likely that he will go out of office. This, however, is but the reiteration of what I wrote to you more than a month ago, when the whole press asserted to the contrary. As to Count Esterhazy, he would not be replaced, as the existence of a Hungarian_ ministry would render the post such as he had hitherto filled no longer necessary. All attempts to induce Diak to accept a place in the Hungarian ministry have failed. He resolutely declines. As the ministers are to be selected from his party, it is to be regretted that the leader of that party, whose principles the ministers repre sent, should sit in the body of the house, instead of with them, on the ministerial bench, for Disk is the spirit of opposition. Let the government be an it may, and what it may, he would always oppose. And those who know him better than Ido say this too. Opposition is the atmosphere in which he has lived, and which it is still a necessity for him to breathe. It is, moreover, his strength, and it may be doubted whether he would show himself so strong were he in a not inimical posi tion. Count Andrasay, with whom negotiations have been carried on, shows himself moat conciliatory. He is calm, reasonable, and moderate in his de mands. Such being the state of things, those who are most initiated in the Hungarian question are very hopeful as to tho result. I use only the word " hopeful," but I might, I believe, say they are almost " certain" of coming to a favourable con clusion. On the exactitude of the above statement you may implicitly rely. You know how careful lam not to state as certain circumstances about which I have not previously taken the precaution to be thoroughly well informed. I have only to add that the resignation of Count Crenville, first adjutant of the Emperor, may be looked for before long. THE POSITION OF THE POPE.—In accordance with the directions of hie Eminence the Cardinal Arch bishop, special devotions were observed in the principal churches and chapels of the diocese of Dublin on Sunday, to implore the Almighty to arrest the dangers which threaten the Supreme Pontiff. In the Cathedral, Marlbo rough-street, the ceremonies were conducted with more than usual solemnity. At twelve o'clock a grand pontifical high mass, at which the Cardinal Archbishop was present, was celebrated. The Most fiat , . Dr. Whelan, Lord Bishop of Bombay, celebrant, assisted by the Rev. F ather O'Reilly and the Rev. Father Donnelly. The Rev. Mr. Irwin acted as master of the ceremonies. A vast congregation thronged every part of the church. When the procession, headed by the cross-bearer and acolyte, proceeded up the sanctuary to the altar, the choir sung the " Ecce Sacertloa." At the ooncluthin of the mar his eminence ascended the pulpit and delivered an appropriate address, taking for his text the gospel of the day. Havin g . expatia ted on the text and explained its meaning, his eminence proceeded to ob serve that since his return from Rome, the capital and centre of Christianity, he had been desirous of an oppor tunity of addressing his flock. The faith of Ireland was spoken of with praise throughout the entire world, and the Irish people were everywhere looked upon as worthy children of their martyred ancestors. Their virtues, espe ciaUy their spirit of o be dience and of subordination, were brought out into strong relief at this day by the insubordi nation and revolutionary doctrines that everywhere pre vailed in Europe. Irish catholics had lost much—they had lost their property and their independence, but they re tained what was infinitely more precious than any earthly blessing, the gift of the catholic faith. As a catholic nation, Ireland still held a high place among the nations of the earth, and the Sovereign Pontiff, to whom all her trials and sufferings were well known, looked with affection on our country, as one of the brightest gems that adorned the universal church. They were assembled that day to show their love for the Holy See by uniting their prayers with those of their brethern through out the length and breadth of Ireland to implore the pro tection of heaven on behalf of the Sovereign Pontiff in the danger that at present menaced his liberty of action. His eminence then proceeded to set forth the claims which the Pope has upon the love of all catholics, the perils which at present encompassed him, and the way in which the love of his children might be most profitably exhibited towards him, which was by prayer and material aid.—Freeman's Journal. A MAGISTRATE SCDIMOZIED ITOR NO -PAYMENT OF CHURCH-RATE:4.—in the police-court of Shrewsbury, on Friday, Mr. J. S. Brayne, ex-mayor of the town, a magis trate of the borough, and a member of the Town-council, appeared in answer to a gammons to show cause why ho refused to pay the church-rate levied by his parish. The rate of 31. in the pound, and the refusal of defendant to pay it, having been proved, Mr. Brayne addressed the bench. He said his objection to pay the rate rested on public grounds. There was in the estimates an item of 141. Os. 71. to cover a debt due to the late churchwardens. That was elearlT a retrospective charge, and as such illegal, and of itself vitiated the whole rate. There was another item of 2/. for assistant chimers, which be believed was likewise illegal, but in any cams it was doubtful, sad quite sufficient to justify thedi in reeking an order in this case. After a short consultation, the magistrates dismissed the ease.

Gregory, to the Lion. SECOND SORBET ARTILLERY VOLIINTERRA.—OD Saturday the annual inspection of this carps took place, the inspecting officer being Lieut.-Colonel Waddel, of the Royal Artillery. The weather was most unfavourable, and materially influenced the attendance, necessitating also an important change in the programme, it being found im possible to bold the inspection at Mr. Beeington's, Home park, Dulwich, as originally intended. Nevertheless, some 300 men assembled at the headquarters of the corps, Gresham-road, Brixton. The inspecting officer arrived shortly after 5 o'clock, but the hall being quite full, he could only tress down the ranks and put the men through the manual exercise. Having gone through the inspection as well as possible under the circumstances, Lieut.-Colonel Waddel addressed a few words to the officers and men ; he expressed his regret at the disappointment resulting from the state of the weather, but was well pleased both with the appearance and discipline of the men, and the form in which they mustered on that =favourable De claim. He was Pad to be able to confirm from personal observations the highly favourable reports, which had been returned of the state of the corps at former annual inspections, and he considered that pest credit was due both to officers and min for the manner in which they bad fulfilled their duties as volunteers. After some further observations of a similar character, the come expressed its satisfaction at the commendations of the inspecting officer by giving three hearty cheers. Lieutenant-Colonel Durn ford, oontmandent of the carps, then made a few remarks expressing his regret at the state of the weather, and his full confidence in the ability of the men to go through all the movements they might have been called upon to per form had it been possible to assemble them, with the guns, in the park at Drilwlch e ea originally contemplated. The pram .1 tinge were brow t a close by the usual vociferous demonstrations, and t e men were broken off. A consider able force of the 2nd Middlesex Artillery, under the com mand of Captain Engelback, were present at the inspec tion, having kindly attended to keep the ground, bad the corps gone to Dulwich. LAUNCH or THE SUPERB. —A fine iron ship, named the Superb, was launched from the yard of Messrs. Green, at Blackwell, on Saturday. The Superb is the first ship that the firm have built for themselves since they have commenced iron shipbuild ing, for which they have a moat complete and efficient plant. A FATHER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HIS SON.— On Friday morning considerable excitement was owe aioned in the village of Golub&11, near Guildford, by the circulation of a report that Mr. Cole, a gentleman residing at Woodlands Farm, a abort distance from Sheet, had been shot by hie son, and on inquiry it turned out that the rumour was well founded. It appears that on the morn ing in question Mr. Cole was out shooting with his son, who is a youth of fifteen or sixteen years of age , in a field belonging to Mr. Killick, between the small village commonly called " The Hammer" and Sutton. Mr. Cole left his son, and went on to some high ground at a distance of about fifty yards, in search of some partridges. He was isrtially concealed from view, when a partridge rose in front of the son in a direct line with his father. The youth immediately fired, but did cot kill the bird, and the shots, which spread very much, struck his father in the hands, face, abdomen, and legs, and inflicted several wounds, which bled pro fusely, and which at first sight appeared to be of a very serious character. Assistance was at once pro cured, and the wounded gentleman was conveyed to his residence, where be was attended by Mr. T. J. Sella, sur geon, of Guildford, and subsequently by Dr. Capron, of Shere, and the shuts were for the most part extrac ted. Considerable difficulty was experienced by the medical gentlemen in stopping the haemorrhage, and it was feared that the results would be very serious ; but this was sub sequently checked , and the patient is now in a fair way of recovery. The poor boy, who was unwittingly the author of the mischief, was greatly horrified at the condition of his father.—West Surrey Times. DEATH FROM THE INCAUTIOUS L - SE OF FIRE ARMS. —Mr. William Payne, the Southwark coroner, held an inquest at Guy's Hospital, on the body of John Part ridge, aged 21, a farm servant in the employ of Mr. John Adams, farmer, of Holloway Farm, Lewisham. On Sunday, the 19th of August, the deceased was sent out to shoot rooks, which do great damage to the standing corn, and in getting through a hedge, incautiously dragged the loaded gun after him, and it exploded, the shot so severely shattering the fore arm that amputation was necessary. He went on favourably till about ten days since, when pycemia se) in and death ensued on Friday. The jur, returned a verdict " That the deceased was accidentally killed by a gun-shot wound.' THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN WALES.—GLENDWY TACH, NORTH WALLIS, MONDAY.—As the excitement calmed in this neighbourhood by the fearful accident on the Car. narvonshire Railway last Thursday lessens it becomes possible to get fuller and more accurate details of the cir cumstances attending it. The line running between Car narvon and Portmadoc, a distance of about twenty miles, is part of the Cambrian system, and bad just been fi nished by the contractor, Mr. Thomas Sevin, and awaited the inspection of the government officer before being for mally opened for traffic. Yielding to a repeated solicita tion of the people at Portmadoc and other places along the line, Mr. Sevin, however, unfortunately permitted a spe cial excursion train to run to Carnarvon on the occasion of the meeting of the Calvanirtio Methodists' Association in that town, with the fatal result already recorded. A de rangement of the points near this station (where the ac cident occurred) was undoubtedly the immediate cause of the catastrophe ; and it is believed by' theee connected with the line that the points had been tampered with by seine curious person passing over the crossing. It seems *that when the engine and tender ran oil the line, the shock broke the coupling chain of the second carriage, and thus only two of the carriages followed the engine, and were smashed, the rest of the train keeping on the main line, and avoiding the collision. It is owing to this fact that the number of injured passengers in a train conveying about eight hundred is so remarkably slight in comparison with those killed on the spot. Mrs. Evans, one of the passengers in the second carriage died yesterday, this making the number of deaths six. The names of several more passengers who have sustained injuries more or less serious, have been ascertained , but the list does not yet exceed ten. On Friday au inquest was opened here before the coroner, in view of the bodies, which bad been laid in the shied adjoining the station. No evidence be yond that necessary for the identification of the bodies was taken, and the inquiry was then adjourned till to morrow.

The 143rd meeting of the three choirs of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, for the benefit of the widows and orphans of clergymen of the three dioceses, my be said to have opened at noon to-day with the rehearsal of mend music at the cathedral, since these rehearsals have been opened to the publics by the offer of half-guinea tickets. The principle have all arrived. It has already been found necessary to provide additional accommodation for visitors, so extraordinary has been the demand for tickets. All the principal (15e.) reserved seats in the nave of the cathedral for the Mestia• day were disposed of three weeks ago ; and the additional (I 0 a.) seats on the choir are rapidly filling up. On the other mornings the places show nearly the same result. The programme for the festival may be briefly sketched. To-day has been devoted to rehearsals. Three or four hours have been well employed this morning in this way at the cathedral, and with the sacred music, and especial at tention has been given to Costa's work, which is new to many of the chorus. This evening there will be two or three hours' work with the rehearsal of the secular mode at the College-hall. The actual festival may be said to open as many often conclude—viz., with a feast. To-mor row morning the Mayor of Worcester (Mr. T. Southall) gives a public breakfast at the Guildhall to the Bishop, Boas and Chapter, 141.4111411 of the festival, and principal %habitude of Wattmeter and the county, ladies being of course included in the invitations issued. His worship with the corporation and other guests will proceed thence to the cathedral, where at noon the first performance of sacred music -will eminence. The first morning's selection consists of the Te Deem, composed by Handel after the victory of Dettingen, and which was used for many years at the morning service with which these festivals formerly opened. The Te Deem is followed by a selection from Costa's /footman, Haydn's oratorio the Creation, and Mendelssohn's anthem, " Hear my prayer." It should be mentioned that there is daily morning service at the cathedral at an early hour ; the three choirs (strictly waking) combining in the musical portion of the service. At the first service, on Tuesday morning, the annual SWIMS in aid of the charity will be preached by the Hon and Rev. J. W. Leigh. Collections for the charity are made after each of these services, and at the doors of the cathedral after the oratorios. Wednesday morning will be devoted entirely to Mendelssohn's oratorio Erich Mr. Bentle y taking the part of the Prophet ; Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr. Cummings dividing the tenor soli, and Madame Bandon- Dolby and Madame Patey-Whytock sharing the contralto psis. Mdlle. Titian. sings the air " Hear ye, Israel," opening the second part of the oratorio. The cathedral plan is almost filled up . for this morning. The programme for Thursday morning is a lengthy one, comprising Spobr's overture to The Lost Judimiatt ; Beethoven's Service in C; • selection from Handel's Joshua •, and Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise. On Friday morning the never-tiring erecter-piece of Handel, his oratorio of the Mearieh, will be given entire, all the principals takinsi part in it. The evening concerts present nothing novel in either of the three, although no doubt experience has shown that en audience capable of appreciating the solemn effect pro duced by the great works of Handel, Mendelasohn, Mozart, and Haydn, can relish the lighter and fragmentary schemes of secular music usually provided on these occasions. Of the threeevening concerts the first (Tuellaci.c)ic p erhaps the best. The concert on Thursday brings toe c lose the musical part of the festival, but there is a ball at the Guildhall on Friday night, under the management of the /ay stewards. As already stated, the oratorios are given in the nave of the cathedral, which has been specially fitted up for the purpose with seats and an orchestra. The latter is erected at the foot of the west window and faces the choir. The recent removal of the organ and choir screen behind the choir and nave throws open the centre vista from one end of the cathedral to the other, and although not or ig inally con templated the choir will be used em well es the nave for seating the audience. This will give much extra specie, all of which and more will be required, judging from present appearances. The secular concerts are given at the College Hall, tho ancient refectory of the monks of Bt. Mary's, and now used as the Collage school ; there is • permanent gallery and orchestra. The room, though bars, is very lofty, and admirably adapted for music. The Mayor's breakfast and the ball will be held in the Guild hall Assembly Room, a handsome end spacious apartment in the centre of the city, erected on dig by Sir Christopher I W r e n ' The festival is under the especial patronage of her Majesty the Queen, and the Lord Bishop of Worcester is the president. The principal vocalists are Mille. Mess, Madame Leanem-Sherrington, Madame Saintoa-Dolby, Madame ratey-Whytook, Mr. Sims Reeves Mr. Cummings, Mr. Bentley, and Mr. Lewis Thomas. 'Stanton and Blagrove lead the band. Dr. Wesley (organist of Gloucester Cathe dral) presides at the organ, Mr.Townshend Smith (organist of Hereford), at the pianoforte, and Mr. Done, as organist of Worcester Cathedral, conducts the festival morning and evening. The Great Western, the Midland, and the London and North Western Railway Companies run special trains and make special arrangements as to return tickets for the festival week. The only anxiety that now troubles the good folks of Worcester is the weather, and, as there is no Admiral Fitzroy now whose forecasts might be consulted, this becomes a question of more than usual importance, as the many upturned eyes to-day Wert. The Royal Exhibitions to the Royal School of Mines, Jerroyn-street, and the Government School of Science, Dublin, consisting of a year for three years and free admission to the respective schools, which are awarded by the Science and Art Department after the May science examinations, have this year been awarded as fol lows.

He is likely to be suc ceeded by Mr. Edward Bond, the Keeper of the Egerton MSS., an erchieologist of equal standing. Mr. Noble's statue of Sir John Franklin, the Arctic explorer, has been erected in Waterloo-place, at the side of the Atheneum Club. Mr. Foley's statue of Lord Herbert of Lea, which is to be placed in front of the War office, Pall-mall, has been successfully cast in bronze. ROYAL GENERAL DISPENSARY, BARTHOLOMEW cLosp..—A quarterly general court of the governors of this institution, which is the oldest of its kind existing in the count 7, having been founded so far back as 1770, was held yesterday in the board-room of the dispetulary, No. 23, Bartholomew-close ; Mr. W.

A satisfactory me port of the working of the dispensary was presented and unanimously adopted, after which the proceedings termi nated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE LONDON TRADE AND BENEFIT SOCIETIES —At a special general meeting of the London Working- Men's Association, held last night at the Brougham hall, Fleet-street, Mr. Bryon, who wes in the chair, referred to the desirability of taking steps to get the trades of London to use their organizations in favour of the attainment of the franchise.

Several gentlemen had urged upon the association that it should take up this important question, and re solutions on the subject would now be laid before the meeting. The following resolutions were adopted : " That this association, composed to a large extent of members belonging to various trade organizations, is of opinion that the time has now arrived when it becomes both the interest and the duty of the trades of the United Kingdom to follow the example set by the trades of the Birmingham districts, and suspend for the moment their non-political action, in order that the full power of their organization may be brought to bear to attain the right of the franchise fer their members." " That this association is of opinion it is highly desirable that a reform demonstration of the Metropolitan Trade and Friendly Societies should take place, es • distinct demonstration, at as early a period as possible, end hereby instructs its committee to take immediate steps for obtain ing • preliminary delegate meeting of the trades and friendly societies to make the necessary arrangements for such a demonstration as that proposed."

Dark clouds lowered. and a drone S.W. wind with a rough sea prevailed up to ten o'clock, when the threatening weather culminated in a copious fall of rain, which seemed almost to decide that another postponement must take place. Towards noon, however, the rain ceased, the sky cleared, the wind mode rated, and the sea calmed to an extent that justified the committee making preparations for holding the regatta. By a happy metamorphosis, the town in the course of an • hour or two changed its dull and dreary aspect for one of activity and livelinem.

At 1.48 precisely the yachts started as the signal of a gun. The course was from the committee vessel round South Sand Ilead twice—a total distance of about Vi miles, and as by this time the wind bad veered round men westerly the yachts had no difficulty in getting off. All three yachtigot away smartly,theSphinx intim van ; but when they rounded the committee vessel on the first return, about 4 &elm*, Christabel was first. The yachts came in at the conclusion of the race a few minutes before six o'clock, Chriatabel I minute before the Sphinx, and the Sphinx 7 minutes before the Vindex. The second race—a sailing match for yachts under 30 tons, for a puns of 30 sovs.—did not fill. The other races were of minor importance. The sports concluded with a duck hunt. The Dover lifeboat (the Royal Wiltshire) was launched and exercised in the bay during the afternoon. There was numerous concourse of visitors and other spectators lining the promenades and beach, who were enlivened by the performances of the band of the 44th Regiment. A grand display of fireworks and a balloon ascent closed the out door amusements of the day.
