The Duke of Edinburgh arrived here yesterday for the purpossof inaugurating the statue which has just been erected in George's-square, in memory of his late father, the Prince Consort. He was accompanied by Dr. Lyon Playfair ; Lieutenant Vaig, Equerry-in-Waiting ; General Hamilton ; the Hon. Colonel Francis Cockburn, and Captain Graham. He was received at the railway station by Lord Bel haven, Lord-Lieutenant of Lanarkshire, who introduced the Lord-Provost of Glasgow, Sheriff Sir Archibald Ali son, and Mr. Peter Clonston. Outside the station • kris crowd had assen4led to welcome the Prince, the Queen's Own Yeomanry Cavalry keeping the ground. The party, amid the loud plaudits of the assembly, at once drove off to the residence of the Lord Provost, where the Duke had luncheon. After making • detour of the city, through which he was loudly cheered, be was conducted to the City-hall to receive the freedom of the city, arriving there • few mi nutes after two o'clock. The Prince was heartily wel comed by the chief citizens, their vrivea and daughters. He wore the Highland costume, the tartan being that known as Royal Stuart. The National Anthem having been played by the city organist, The Lean Paovosr proceeded to confer the citizenship on the Prince, delivering some appropriate remarks. HL BoTA fllonassa, in reply, said—My Lord Provost, magistrates, and members of the town council of Glasgow. —I aooept with feelings of pleasure and gratitude the honour which you have conferred upon me by enrolling me as a burgess of this ancient city. You have done justice to my desire to cultivate friendly relations be tween the people of this country and myself, and in this sense, I am glad to find that I have now aright to consider myself a citizen of Glasgow—cheer)--and to share with my fellow-citizens those feelings of pride which its achieve ments in the arts entitle us to entertain, It is no small boast that this city was the birth-place of James Watt— (cheers)—and that his access to one of the popular scien tific institutions of the town laid the foundation for his marvellous improvements in the steam-engine ; neither am I, • sailor, likely to forget that the practical applica tion of steam to navigation was first made on the Clyde, which has since that time been deepened and improved by science and loyal energy, so that Glasgow has become one of the grand commercial emporiums of the world. (Cheers.) The first steamer, the Comet, constructed by Bell. with its forty-feet keel and ten-and-a-half-feet beam, was truly a pigmy by the aide of the gigantic men of war and ships of commerce now built by Napier and other eminent shipbuilders on the banks of the Clyde, and which, in the exercise of my profession I have often ad_ mired. (Loud cheers.) I thank you sincerely for the kind and encouraging words which you have addressed to me as an officer of the navy. This branch of the national service keenly appreciates the support and commendation of • great commercial city such as Glasgow. It will be a source of pleasure to me to repeat to the Queen your ap preciation of the patriotic and noble qualities which en deared my lamented father to this country. (Applause.) I desire earnestly to follow in his footsteps so far as my abilities permit me, by giving constant attention, as be did, tothopromotion of the sciences, arta, manufacturevand commerce, and to those social improvements of the people which tend to increase their knowledge and to promote their well-being. The statue which is to be inaugurated this day, while it furnishes your lasting record of the worth of the Prince Consort, will also, I trust, be an encourage ment to each of our citizens to labour for the general good of the country, by proving that the cultivation of the peaceful arts is • claim to honour and fortitude which the people at large are glad to recognise. At the conclusion of his Royal Highness's reply the audience rose ma'am and cheered heartily. A procession was then formed, including all the corporate bodies, city clergy, and the members of the learned pro fessions, escorted by the Queen's Own Yeomanry Cavalry the line being kept by a large body of volunteers and The following courageous feat is related by a I police, aided by wooden barricades, which lined the streets tea planter in Assam, a young man, 23 years of age, i n a leading toGeorge-square, where theatatue lined t letter to his father, Mr. Tye, of Guildford :—" About 5 .

The place of reception was the Muses, a very handsome and commodious palace-like building, near the Place Royal, and in the " place " or square in front of this the volun teer officers gathered soon after midday. The regiment of grenadiers marched into the square with bands playing, sad lined the ground to receive their Majesties on their arrivaL The volunteer officers who were to be received entered the ?inane, and, passing up a noble staircase, were ushered into a splendid picture gallery, containing some of the finest works of the Flemish school. This gallery was the crush room, and in a very short time, by ad mirable arrangements, the large body of volunteer officers were arranged in procession in the moat orderly manner, and proceeded to the royal presence. In the ante-chamber of the throne-room they were marshalled in single rank, and so entered the throne-room itself, and after the formal reception, made their emit by an opposite door. The King and Queen stood in front of the throne, the King wearing the uniform of a general, and the Queen a black satin dress and an ermine cape, having also the order of Isabel of Portugal, an .Austrian order, a sash of scarlet from the right shoulder, said a anklet and a diadem of diamonds- On the right of the throne were the military officers of the royal household, sad roar ladies — Of honour. There were also present the Minister of France, and the secretaries of I the English, French, and Dutch legations, as well as a ll the King's ministers, all of whom wore the most brilliant I uniforms ; and amongst the visitors was the Lord Mayor of London, who wore the uniform of a deputy-lieutenant of the county of Middlesex. The first to be presented were the French officers, and they were followed by Colonel Lindsay and Lord Bury, and the other English Madera. Colonel Lindsay did not pass out of the room, for he was invited by the King to stand by his side, and he did so while the long and continuous line passed be fore their Majesties. The King did not allow all the volunteer officers to go by with merely the formal bow, but stepped forward and, shaking one or 'two by the hand whom he knew, chatted freely witk them. After the English volunteer officers, the Dutch came, and with several of them the King entered into conversation, after which he talked with the ministers. The ceremony ended, the King and court de parted, the royal couple being loudly cheered by the people. Immediately after the conclusion of the levee a commu nication was made that their Majesties desired to have a photograph of the various officers who had been presented, and for this purpose they were requested, as the weather was most delightful, to proceed to the gardens in the rear of the palace to be taken in a group, M. Ghemsr, of Brussels, being the photographer employed. The long range shooting was still proceeding at the Eng lish " Wimbledon" targets, as also on the part of the Bel gians at the Tir National, but none of the many competi tions have as yet been decided in consequence of the largo number of entries. During yesterday afternoon, amongst the amusements provided was that of a promenade concert given by the band of the First Surrey Rifles (which is exceedingly popular throughout the city) at the Zoological-gardens, with the charitable object of aiding the fund for the destitute families that have sustained losses of parents mai /ROM LIVERPOOL OR QUEENSTOWN TO NEW YORK TWICE A WEEK. igLIVERPOOL.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. triton OUR OWN OORRISPONDWIT.) PARIS. THURSDAY Evian:G. Private letters from Biarritz state that the Em peror's health has profited by his stay at the sea side, but that his spirits, far from improving, con tinue very depressed. He is represented as being in one of those fits of indecision which are com moner than his very warm admirers allow. No one calls in question the persevering courage with which he carries out a resolution which he has once arrived at, but many of those who have studied him moat closely assert that his decisions are much oftener the result of events than their cause. His entourage certainly regard with alarm the growing feeling of discontent which exists in the nation to which they can neither shut their own eyes nor I blind him. The most opposite plans are proposed to restore the prestige of the government, but nothing indicates that the Emperor is incline 4 to ' listen to any of them. On all hands it is allowed that for the present, and for a considerable time to come, the peace of Europe will not be menaced by France. The Marquts de Lavalettes visit to the imperial residence has been the subject of much comment, and there are not a few of the would-be monopo lists of news who pretend that it has reference to an arrangement proposed by the catholic powers for the security of the Pope after the withdrawal of the French army of occupation. This, I need not say, is more than improbable—it is impossible. To yield on this point would be stultifying the whole foreign policy of the present reign, and, whatever it may be worth, the Pope has nothing to count on but the moral support he has been so solemnly and repeatedly promised. M. Thouvenel's long illness terminated in his death last night.

When only thirty he was Minister of France at Athens ; afterwards at Munich ; and in 1855 he was ap ! pointed ambassador at Constantinople. one of the greatest places in French diplomacy, and then exceptionally important, for he was, in fact, sent to counterbalance the influence of Lord Redcliffe. In 1860 ho was recalled to take the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, which he held for about two years. 1 After he had been replaced by M. Druuyn de Lhuys he was appointed Grand Referendary of the Senate, a post of high honour but small influence. He has long been in declining health. The prosecution of the &eminent resulted, as was foreseen, in the condemnation of the editor and the writer of the article which had ventured to discuss so grave an economical question in a non-political journal as the tax on places of amuse ment in favour of the hospitals.

In last night's Evenement it was an nounced that the Figaro will become a daily paper at two sous, of the same form as the &eminent.

The semi-official North German Gazette of this evening says :—" Certain journals have published a statement that the British Ambassador in this city, during a recent conversation with Herr von Thiele, the Prussian Under-Secretary of State, had either demanded that the private fortune of King George of Hanover should be given up to him, or protested against its sequestration by the Prussian government. With regard to this intelligence we are enabled to declare that the British minister, on the occasion in question, confined himself to asking what course the Prussian government intended to pursue relative to the private fortune of King George, and that his remarks by no means partook of the nature of a demand." The statement published by the New German Gazette, that Prussia had despatched an ultimatum to the government of the Netherlands relative to Luxembourg, is a complete invention. -. .

Last night the annual general meeting of the tnembers aced friends of this useful institution was held at the college in Great Ormond-street, Bloomsbury ; the Rev. F. D. Maurice ILA., the principal, occupying the chair. After the distribution of some certificates of competency amongst graduates of the college who had recently under gone an examination by the council, the rev. principal pro ceeded to deliver the inaugural address, reminding his hearers that they were about to enter upon the twelfth year of the college's existence. The object of its founder was not merely to educate working men in moral, social, and theological mbjects, but to direct their attention also to physical studied and he rejoiced to find that three of the certificates he ti just distributed were for proficiency in chemistry. It bem said that mechanics' institutes partook too much of the character of places of luxury and amassment. That objection, however, could not apply to this institution, because it now directed special attention to the physical sciences, and its members were instructed in geolocr, botany, and zoology, which had induced them to take great delight hi country excursions. It was the desire of the council that the members should discover that parti, cular study for which they were best fitted, end by odium ing to that rule social intercourse would be moo and the members would be enabled to learn som ui el&t from each other. In this way also the benefits resulting from education would be made to extend over the satire working class, and therefore he hoped it would never be forgotten that the great aim of the conductors of the college was to promote fellowship amongst men. Mr. Buokmaater, of the Kensington Museum, gave an explanation of the provision there made by the govern ment to ea e the study of the physitel mimosa Lest year 9,000 candidates submitted themselves for examina tion, and of that number 7,000 received assistance in the shape of tome-Bin expenses, as belonging to the indus trial claims. Xr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., oongratttlated the student s upon the growing popularity of the college, and remarked that it had gone far to solve the problem of national education. That education should always have religion for its basis, and be directed to the promotion of human fellowship, which he believed was secured by the training pursued in this col lege. The programme for the ensuing year was then ad verted to by some of the profeseors and the Rev. H. Folly, and in the course of the discussion that ensued it was stated that some plan must shortly be devised for obtain ing a supply of new teachers independently of those . wlso might conic from the universities. It would very like be proposed to found a system of fellowships, to be open to the more successful students attached to this and kin dred institutions. The meeting, which, notwithstan the unfavourable state of the weather, was numerous i attended, closed with a vote of thanks to the principal an executive of the college. MARY, STOKE NEWINGTON. TO THE EDITOR OT THE =Num. Sm,—Until the decision of the magistrate was given we have deemed it advisable to abstain from any remarks upon the late occurrence at St. Mary, Stoke Newington. We should consider our (market sufficiently vindicated by that decision, obtained as it was without the hearing of the strong evidence with which we were prepared to rebut the accusations made against us, had not one of the morning papers given strength to the state ments made by Mr. Sleigh, on application for tke sum monses, by a leading article still more unjust. The withdrawal of all charges of ewes of violence leaves us nothing to say about the statements sworn to by the witnesses ; but we call attention to the fact that the organ I desks on the floor of the church, not in a gallery or loft, and that the footboard on which Mr. Smee stood when ejected is less than one inch higher than the adjoining door to which he was removed. A model of full size was in court, but the withdrawal alluded to frustrated our wish for its production. The inducements which led us to undertake the cans of churchwarden were a strong desire to bring about an ami cable settlement of the differences existing in the parish, and a belief that by conciliatory and temperate proposals much might be accomplished. We regret to add that our earliest advances were unfortunately rejected, and we have been forced to the conclusion that the wishes of the oldest pruiabionere and the counsels of the earliest and most liberal supporters of the new parish church were not deemed worthy of consideration by those who introduced the objsratiosable changes into the serviese—ellanges which violated a guarantee proved by the evidence of several pa rishioners to have been given by the rector prior to the collection of funds for the erection of the new church. We have uniformly and continuously, as it were, in anticipation of the magistrate's roominendation, urged • reference to the bishop of the diocese, and the Prayer Book clearly indicates such a course—nay, enjoins church men to submit all differences to his arbitration, with further appeal to the archbishop, if needed. We Lave also, as the correspondence between the solicitors will confirm, expressed • desire and willingness to take a judicial decision upon the points raised. The blame for refusing to accept these peaceful solutions, or other modi fied proposals, dues not rest with us. We hope t hat while acting on hslialf of the pat ish in the mainteniins , of and privileges entrustsd to us as churchwarden-, we have not forgotten our higher duties as Christian men. We with confidence affirm that our friends and supporter s unite with us in renewed offers of arbitration, desiring earnestly now, as heretofore, to witness a return of peace and goudwill.—We are, dc., GEt).

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAFLAINN TO GAOLS.—At the Staffordshire Quarter &talon', held on Monday. the Earl of Lichfield presiding, a discussion ensued on the motion of Mr. James Bateman, " That the order of court :mule at the April sessions, 1866, for the payment of a Roman catholic chaplain at the gaol be rescinded." He called the attention of the court to the argument from consistency and the argument from equity, and taking the last first, it had been said that, as the Roman catholic' paid f•oor and county rates out of which the protestant chaplains were paid, therefore they were entitled that to Roman catholic chaplain should also be paid out of the rates. But here figures and facts would come forward and overthrow the argument, fur the Roman catholic h only paid in England and Wales a sum which did not teach by 200,040. their share of the amount which they should pay to place them on an equality with the protestant , . Again, this plea of equity might be carried further still, and tothey might be called upon to pay chaplains belonging the Wesleyan', Baptists, Independents, and other religions bodies, all of whom had the misfortune to see Moir mem bers in our gaols. If they confirmed the pay ::mat of a 1 Roman catholic chaplain, the neat thing would I.e to pro vhle apartments In which the worship of the Roman catholic, could be carried on within the precincta of the gaol. And thus, ',crimps, within the walls of a building provided from protestant funds, those very rites would be celebrated wlSah our martyred ancestors yielded their bodies to be bona rather than sanction. These things ought not to be, end cab' cially at this time, when, while they were heaping favours on the head of Rome, in the other parts of the world she was receiving heavy blows and deep discouragenont. To do as was proposed, would be to deal heavy blows at our national protestuitheu, with which, if history had any weight, our prosperity would seem to be identified. Major Chetwynd aecoeded the resolution. The Hon. awl Rev. A. C. Talbot, believing that in this country their contributions were greater towards the salary of the protestant chaplain than those of the protestant' were towardsthat of the Roman catholic chaplain, said he should oppose the motion. The Furl of Dartmouth observed that he was one of those who, at the last sessions, opposed the appointment of a Roman catholic chaplain to the gaol ; but as the appointment wail carried, he was not prepared to lend big aid in rescinding the order which had been made. The Right lion. C. B. Adderley thought as they had a national religion, the paid religious officer of every institution should be a member of that religion, and the other religious officers, if any, should be paid as incidental to the wants of the institu tion, and not as national and recognised officers. He did not think that the fear that the introduction of Roman catholic chaplains into the gaols was setting a dangerous precedent 16116 visionary, for it was clear that the con aequences would ramify and spread widely. Mr. Whit grease entered his solemn protect against the malting language used by Mr. Bateman. The motion vas then negatived. RitfivENTION OF TYPHCS. —Dr. Allbutt, of Leeds, has lately proposed a scheme for the radical pre vention of typhus, by establishing wholesome dwellif for the really poor. The houses are not, like those built by Alderman Waterlow, intended for artisans and others who can pay good rents, but for hawkers, costermongers, and unskilled labourers of all kinds.
