The Sultan has arrived hero. His Majesty was so fatigued by his voyage that he declined to receive the authorities. He will leave to-morrow for Marseilles. THE LUXEMBURG TREATY. BERLIN, Jrnr. 25, Evirmo The semi-official North Geiwian Gai•elte of this evening publishes an article in which it combats the explanations given by Lord Derby and Lord Stanley in reference to the Luxemburg guarantee, and declares that an appeal can indubitably be made to the guarantee on the occasion of any violation of the treaty. "We believe," it adds, " that Lord Stanley endeavoured in the House of Commons to represent in as insignificant a light as possible the violation of the principle of non-intervention which was committed in under taking the guarantee. This view alone can explain the statement of the English minister, that in the last resort the House of Commons, through its right of withholding supplies, was the judge as to whether war should be made or not. It is well known that the British crown has the right of declaring war, and the parliament, finding itself confronted by war, is essentially bound to prosecute it from feelings of patriotism. From this point of view the statements made by Lord Derby and Lord Stanley are explicable, but it is impossible for us to look upon them as seriously meant to be a limitation of the treaty obligation hitherto considered to have been undertaken in a general and extended sense." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Jars 25, EVZNING. The royal patent promulgating the North Ger man cmstitution has been issued to-day. It orders that the constitution shall come into force on the LA July throughout the Prussian kingdom { including the Juhde territory and the new l y in., ' corporated provinces. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, Ann 25. The report published in some of the Paris journals that the King and Queen of Denmark were about to visit Paris is entirely without foun dation. King George of Greece and the Grand Duchess Olga are exp ected in Copenhagen on the 6th July. In to - day 's sitting of the Landathing, the President of the Council, in reply to Herr , Krieger, said that the government desired that the Landsthing should be prorogued at the beginning of July. The bill, however, on the organisation of the army must previously be passed, but that in reference to the navy could be postponed. An official courier from the French government arrived here to-day. FRANCE. PARIS, Jews 25. In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body the President laid before the members the bill request ing a fresh supplementary credit amounting to 158 million of francs. The maximum of Treasury bonds fixed for 1867 was 150 million francs, and this amount will be raised to 250 millions. The bill was referred to the budget committee. The debate on the budget will not commence till Satur day. The dividend of the Bank of France for the half-year has been fixed at 58. The Etendard of this evening, referring to the re ports which have arisen from the non-participation of England in the note of the Powers relative to Crete, says that a special note has been despatched to the Porte by the English cabinet, recommending Turkey to take into serious consideration the notes of the other Powers. The Etendard goes on to say that this circumstance does not alter the real fact that there is perfect accord between the Powers. PARIS, Jess 5, ETWONO. The Patrie of this evening says that the Budget Commission held an extraordinary sitting to-day to receive communication of a bill fixing the sup plementary credit necessary fur the conversion of the naval and military armament at 158 millions of francs. This credit, it adds, will be raised by the issue of Treasury Bonds, while the other credits necessitated by the increase of the military expen diture will be included in the normal budget of 1868. SPAIN. MADRID. Juits 25. In to-day's sitting of the Congress the hill for the reform of the standing orders was finally agreed to by 196 against 22 votes.

VISIT Or THE PRINCE IMPERIAL TO THE PARIS RIR IUITION.—The Mon iteser of yesterday .aye, under date of Paris, June 24 :—" At nine o'clock this morning his Highness the Prince Imperial, accompanied by his Excel lency General Froesard, his gems.' or, Commandant Lamey, aide-de-camp, H. Bachon, equerry, and Doctor Corvisart, paid a visit to the Universal Exhibition. During the two hours of the Prince's visit an I normous crowd , constantly followed his footsteps. Every one seemed de lighted to observe th►t his Imperial Highness bad retained no trace of his indisposition, and that his health bad never been mom flourishing. The Prince particularly examined the exhibitions of artillery, the navy, and pic tures. His Imperial Highness left the Exhibition at 11 o'clock amid the most enthusiastic acclamations." In the Corps Legialatif to-day it was announced that the debate on the budget, which was to have begun to-morrow, is to be postponed till Saturday, in consequence of a supplemental credit of 158 millions, to be raised by an issue of treasury bonds; having been proposed for the army and navy. This is only an instalment of what is to come. Othei expenses, vaguely foreshadowed as yet, are to be carried to the " normal" budget of 1858. M. Bethmont presented to the president a proposal for some interpellations, which will of course be dis allowed, calling for a statement of the grounds on which increased armaments are considered neces sary. The waggon train of the artillery, which now consists of detached squadrons, is to be reorganised and to form two regiments, which change will, it is considered, make it much more effective. The Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Bill, which has long been hung up in the Senate, is likely to be heard of soon. The rumour is that.. President Royer will present his report on it this week. The inmates of Clichy fear that the Senate will exercise at their expense its new prerogative of remitting a bill to the Corps Legialatif for a second reading. The Menitcur of this morning contains the first official intimation of Prince Napoleon's return to court favour, after the disgrace which followed his Corsican speech. He is appointed pre sident of the conference for effecting, if pos sible, international uniformity of monies, weights, and measures, and the Marquis de Mous tier, who has been instructed to recommend him to the Emperor for this office, says, in a well turned complimentary phrase, that his Majesty could not show in a more marked manner the special interest that he takes in the question. This being so it may be justifiable to hope that Prince Napoleon will no longer be gagged in the Senate— no more sent out of the way when the magnates of the earth are coming to the Tuileries, and that he may be shortly restored to his place in the Privy Council. A prince of the blood, who has shown himself capable of taking an active part in public affairs, cannot well be " half " trusted. Djemil Pecha, the Ottoman ambassador, leaves Paris this evening for Toulon, to meet the Sultan. All the gala carriages from Versailles are brought up to Paris for his reception, which will far tran scend as a rareo show those of the Czar and the King of Prussia. The Lord Mayor of London, in his state coach, will, however, be a formidable rival to him in popular estimation.

THE TRADES UNION INQUIRY AT SHEFFIELD. This inquiry was resumed yesterday for the seventeenth time. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Mom wig OWN cowaroirDzar.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. _ THE SHEFFIELD DISCLOSURE . Yesterday morning • conference of the Miners' National Association was opened at the Co-operative Hall, Bridge-street, Bolton. There were present:—Mr. A. McDonald, president ; Mr. Allen Tetlow, vice-president ; Mr. W. Pickard, treasurer ; Mr. P. Casey, secretary ; and also about fifty delegates from the following districts and towns :—Bolton, Wigan, St. Helens, Haydock Farnworth and Kearsley, Worsley, Oldham, Ashton,Northumber land, West Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, South Yorkshire, &o. The first business was the examination of the delegates' credentials, after which The PREHIDRYT addressed the insolubly at considerable length. He congratulated the delegates on the fact that, although their calling was • very haziadous one, they had been permitted to meet together again. In opening the conference he felt it to be his first duty to draw atteniion to the shocking disclosures that had been made within the last few days at Sheffield. He held it to be their bounden duty, as a body of trade unionists, as citizens, and as men, to express their horror, their disgust, and their detesta tion at the dreadful revelations. Moral power alone must be their weapon, and if that failed nothing else would succeed. Unhappy, utterly unhappy would be the country whale laws would permit such things, and doubly cursed must be the trades of any town if the connived at such shocking acts. It was horrible to think of having hired assassins who were ready at any moment to shoot • poor victim because he did not comply with the wishes of any particular body of men. (Hear.) Not only had the men who had entered upon this fearful career of crime covered themselves with lasting obloquy, but they had seriously imperilled the position of trades' unions through out the country. Only that day he read that the man who committed these sets was afraid to disclose his con nection with such an abhorrent affair. And why ? Beaue he dreaded that the assassin's knife or bullet might be used against himself. In short, these terrors had become an ogre in every family, • terror in every breast, and even in that of the assassin himself. If they could not obtain their objects by other means he would have nothing to do with the assassin. But they had no need of the asaasain'a bullet or the midnight marauder's knife. All trades' unions were not to be condemned on account of the conduct of those they abhorred. To do that would be as unjust as to condemn the English people for the conduct of the late governor of Jamaica. As a union they disclaimed being in any way identified with the outrages at She ffi eld, and with confidence courted an investigation into the affairs of their own society.—A resolution was brought forward by Mr. George Pickard (Wigan), condemning the conduct of the chief insti gators of the Sheffield outrages, and was spoken to by Mr. Edwd. Rymer (St. Helen's) and Mr. W. Pickard (treasurer), but was not considered to be strong enough, and ultimately Mr. Thomas Burt (Northumberland) said he thought the following resolution would be more expressive of the feelings of the delegates:—" That this conference has seen with feelings of pain and indignation the foul outrages and revelations which have been mode before the Trades' Union Commission at Sheffield ; that it expresses satifaction that such inquiry has taken place, and bops that the exposure thus given will put an end for ever to such abominable outrages ; that it further records its unqua li fied abhorrence and utter disgust at the part taken by the trades union officials of that town with those who themselves have violated the law, and those who have connived at those violations in others ; that it regards the conduct of such men as grossly immoral in itself, and cal culated to raise in the minds of the unreflecting and indis criminating • prejudice against the whole of the organised trades of the country." The previous resolution was then withdrawn, and this one adopted unanimously. The con. ference then proceeded to receive reports of the operations of the vari Ins branch associations, and adjourned at 5 o'clock, until this morning. AacympArrugaz. Ennarnos Soczgyy. Last evening a lecture in connection with the Architectural Museum was delivered in the galleries of the former society by Mr. Edward A. Freeman, M.A., entitled, " Notes in Normandy." After a few introductory remarks by the chairman. Mr. F. H. Dickinson, the lecturer com menced by noticing some striking points of resemblance between the English and Norman buildings of early date. He than gave a rapid account of most of the important churches and other buildings in the country, and Ulna tnited his remarks by a large number of sketches. In conclusion he impressed upon his audience tho necessity of understanding the political history of the country if they wished thoroughly to master the architecture. He also gave it as his opinion that the parish churches and cathedrals of England contrasted most favourably with those of any other country. The following notification was promulgated yes terday from the Admiralty, Whitehall :—" The Admiralty have reosived information that in consequence of the news of the severe epidemic prevailing in the Mauritius during the months of March and April, the troops sent out in the Himalaya, destined for that station, were, pending orders from England, leaded at the Cape of Good Ho ; also that measures had been taken to move the troops from the Mauritius ; and it is hoped that they would be conveyed rapidly to the south in roomy steam transports. There is good ground for hoping that the fever will not spread. Mr. Dronfield was called, and said that he acted as honorary secretary to the Defence Committee, secretary to the United Kingdom Alliance of Organised Trades So ciety, sad secretary of the Organised Trades of Sheffield. He was a printer by trade, and he was secretary to the Printers' Society. As secretary to the Defence Committee he had issued a circular to the secretaries of the local trades unions, dated February 16th. It had reference both to the local commission now sitting, and also to the commission now sitting in London. He received about forty answers to that circular. Witness then handed in a number of the answers which he had relived. Mr. Thomas Smith, saw makers' union, had replied that " moral persuasion " was used in their union ; if that did not succeed, the masters were seen. Mr. Barker, taw handle maker, replied that there had been no outrages within ten years to his knowledge in his trade. The contributions were paid voluntarily, and they bad no Method of enforcing their claims. The jobbing grinders had not me any return. The secretary to the file trade had written to say that no outrage had been committed within ten years in the Me trade. Their method of enforcing claims wax by the union men declining to work with the non-unionists. They gave the masters warning of that course before they left, and thus gave one more chance to the men. There was no admission of rattening in the file trade in any one instance. The Stove Grate and Fenders' Society union admitted the Acorn-street outrage, for which Thompson was tried. The mode of enforcing payment was expulsion. In one case, that of Thompson, they had resorted to more severe means. The Joiners' Society acknowledged that a man named Champion had been shot by a man named Henry Grayson, who was tried and was found guilty of the outrage at the next Leeds assizes. They had no mode but moral suasion of enforcing contributions; first, the members were excluded from benefit, and if twenty-six weeks in arrears were excluded from the society. The razor blade grinders knew of no outrage, and the mode of enforcing contribu tions was exclusion from benefit. The file grinders had no outrages to report. In order to enforce payment the matter was brodght before the district meeting. The scythe grinders had no outrages, but admitted that if remon strances failed, sometime bands were missing, and, if that did not suffice them, expulsion from the society was the consequence. The society of which William Webster was the secretary had destroyed no property, but admitted removing tool*. The File-wakers Society had no out rages. They enforced their contributions by moral suasion or any other legal method. The table knife cutlers and the pen and pocket Made forgers had neither of them outrages to report, and both resorted to moral suasion for obtaining their contributions. The society of which Mr. Mounsey was secretary only em ployed legal methods to enforce their contributions. There was no outrage to report from his union. The engineers' tool makers had De outrages to report. Moral suasion was the best mode of enforcing payment. The Edge Tool Grinders' Unionhad no outrage to report, but in order to enforce payment they " annoyed their members in their I work;" indeed " annoyances were often pnurised." The ' File Hardeners Society had no outrages. Moral suasion was their mode of enforcing payment. The work board hands of the scissor trade replied that they had no outrages, hut he gave no answer as to their node of enforcing payment. The Wire Drawer s society had no outrages and the payment of contributions was optional. The letter-press printers' society had no outrage to report. The mode of enforcing payment was expulsion from the society, and not allowing non-union men to work with unionists. The spring-knife cutlers had no outrage to report. Their mode of enforcing payment was moral suasion and every other legal method. The wool shear forger had no outrage within the last 10 years, and their mode of enforcing payment was moral suasion. The society of which Thomas Cook was the secretary bad nu outrage to report, and payments were enforced by fines. This concluded Mr. Dronfield's list of returns. Witness thought the number of unions in Sheffield was about sixty. The Alliance numbers about sixty thousand members. He had been connected with trades unions for many years. Among the printers he had never heard of any case of fattening. He believed it was almost exclusively confined to the grinding branches. Any man who was en gaged in any trade where grinding was practised was liable to be fattened_ Any man who transgressed the rules of three societies was liable to be fattened. Out of thirty four trades in the association there were eighteen in which grinding was carried on. Mr. Overend said that it would greatly shorten the labours of the commissioners if the defence committee would recommend the different secretaries of the unions to oome forward and tell all they knew for the satisfaction of the town. For the character of the town he thought they should come forward. Mr. Dronfield said that be would comply with the re quest of Mr. Overend. Witness then proceeded to explain that he considered that the reason why rattening so ex. tensively prevailed among the grinders was because of the extraordinary facilities that existed in that branch of trade for the carrying out of those outrages. The men not having the legal protection which they should have, took that means of enforcing their demands. The witness believed that if legal pro tection were afforded, rattening would become almost ex. tinct. He went into details on the subject of the effect which the amendment of the law would have on trade societies, and considered that the origin of rattening lay in the fact that in olden times the grinding wheels were built on such outside streams as the Loxley, where water power was available, and thus afforded every chance to the unions of rattening the bands without fear of detec tion. On the question of apprentices, witness did not think that legal enactments would have much effect on their number. As far as he knew rattening was almost en tirely confined to Sheffield. John Wilson, a pen and pocket blade forger, said he was a member of the union for about three years after he was of age. He then left the union because be did not like being mixed up with things be was ashamed of. He be lieved some joined the anion voluntarily, but others did so from being frightened. There are very few non-union men from principle. Most men join for the purpose of maintaining the prices of labour. A good deal of other evidence was taken having reference chi.tly to cases of fattening and blowing up, and the in quiry was adjourned till to-day. THE LONDON TRADES AND THE SFILTFIELD OUT EAGF.s.—A special meeting of the general council of the London Working Men's Association, including delegates frog, the various local branches and from the trade socie ties affiliated to the association, was held last evening at the offices in Bolt-court, Fleet-street, to express an opinion on the late revolting disclosures before the Sheffield Trades Commission. Mr. George Potter occupied the chair. Re solutions oondemnatory of the practices deposed to se having been adopted in connexion with some of the trades in Sheffield were unanimously adopted. THE HEALTH OF LONDON. —lt appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, June V, the births registered in London and 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,746; the deaths registered, 2,416. The annual rate of mortality was 30 per 1.000 persons living. In London the births of 1,142 boys and 1,092 girls, in all 2,214 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1857-66, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 1,993. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,052. It was the 25th week of the year ; and the average number of deaths fur the week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,245. The deaths in the present return are less by 193 than the estimated number. The deaths were fewer last week than in any week since that ended on fith July, 1861, when out of • less number of people 1,P13 deaths were registered. The deaths from all xymotio diseases have recently declined. From fever only 29 persons died, but one of t hese deaths was remarkable enough to deserve notice. It occurred in an open street leading to Battersea. bridge in South Chelsea. On 17th June, at 19, Beaufort street, • publisher's clerk, aged 19, died of purpuric fever (cerebrospinal typhus), 27 hours. Dr. Crisp, the medical attendant, adds:—" Many parts of the body after • few hours covered with purpuric spots." He identifies the disease with the fever which, under various names, has re cently excited much discussion in Dublin, where the deaths from it have not been numerous. It may be mentioned that down to the end of the 17th century, a heading, under which many deaths appeared in the London bills, was "Spotted Fever and Purples;" which means probably nothing more than fever in persons of a scorbutic habit. The death of one person who was killed by • vehicle in the street, was registered. A musician, aged 70 years, run over by a cab, died on the 12th of June in St. Mary's Hospital. The annual rate of mortality last week was 18 per 1,000 in London, 21 in Edinburgh, and 72 in Dublin ; 20 in Bristol, 17 in Birmingham, 24 in Liverpool, 26 in Man chester, 28 in Salford, 2L in Sheffield, 24 ire Leeds, 20 in Hull, 21 in Newcastle-upon• Tyne, and 25 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 33 per 1,000 during the week ending the 15th inst., when the mean temperature was 2.0 dep. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 19.

The Enocenia, or Commemoration of Founders sad Bene factors, will take place in the Sheldonian Theatre on Wed nesday (this day). The noblemen, heads of homes, doc tors, proctors, and gentlemen, who partake of Lord Crewe's benefaction to the University, will meet the Vice-Chan cellor in the ball of All Souls' College, at half-past ten o'clock. They will then proceed in proomeion to the thea tre, where the oration by the Public Orator will be deli vered, and the honorary degree of doctor of civil law conferred on the following distinguished persons : The Right Hon. and Most Rev. Richard Cheneviz Trench, ,D.D., Lord Archbishop of Dublin, Primate o f Ireland; and Chancellor of the Order of St. Patrick ; the Right Honourable Major-General Sir Henry Knight Storks, G.C.8., G.L.M.G. ; Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere, K.C.8., K.S.J., now Member of her Majesty's Council for India, and late Governor of Bombay; Boy. Thomas Romney Robinson, D.D., F.R.S. M.R.1.A., sometime Fellow of Trinity Coll e ge, Dub lin , and now Director of the Observat Armagh ; Mr. eorge Pea body ; and Mr. G eorge R ind, R.A. The prize poems will afterwards be recited as follows : The Newdegate—subject, "Marie Antoinette," by Mr. R. C. Moberly, Scholar of New College ; the English essay —subject, "The use of the classics as an instrument of Christian education," by Mr. W. H. Sinicoz, Fellow of Queen's College ; tho Latin p oem , " Ad es West monasterietins " by Mr. J. A. Godley, o f Balliol College. The proceedingsl will then be brought to a close in the usual manner. The Vice-Ciancellor and Proctors have issued a notice, urging upon the junior members of the university the necessity of abstaining from such interruptions as have of late years frequently impeded the business of the Enoenia, and stating that men of the highest distinction, both at home and abroad, have declined the offer of honorary de grees, alleging as a reason their unwillingness to undergo the ordeal by which the feelings of their friends on pre vious occasions have been outraged. Should the appeal have no effect, the Vic,Chancellor will be empowered by • statute, accepted by convocation last we. k to fix the holding of the Commemoration elsewhere than in the theatre, and at some other than the usual time. In the afternoon a musical fête will be given by the Freemasons in the gardens of St. John's College, which will no doubt be attended by • large and fashionable com pany. A grand ball will be given in the evening at the Corn Exchange by the members of the university, and St. John's and the " Shooting Stars" theatrical companies will again perform, the former in the Music-room, and the latter at the Victoria Theatre.

Tim BELGIAN RECEPTlON.—Yesterday the offices of the Belgian Reception Committee, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square, were besieged throughout the day by ap plicants for tickets for the ball to take place at the Agri cultural-hall on Thursday, July 18, iu honour of the Belgian visit to this country. Each applicant has to sign his Same and address, and also place tire umuA the ladies on the tickets for whom he requires them, as a gua rantee of respectability. Her Majesty having, it is under stood, definitely filed Wednesday, the litb July. for the great naval review at Spithead, the Belgian Reception Committee felt it an imperative necessity_ to alter the date of the intended ball from the Wednesday to the Thursday, in the hope that it may, in addition to the other royal and distinguished 'dragon, be also honoured by the presence of the Sultan. in the ilistribu. two of tickets for the ball care has been taken that the volunteers shall have the opportunity of the first otter of supply. Communications have been forwarded to the bead-quarters of every volunteer corps in the kingdom, addressed to the commanding officer asking him to for ward a requisition (the form of which acoonspanits the letter) stating the number arid description of tickets s quired for the members and friends of their respective corps, on the receipt of which and the remittance for the rime they willbe at once forwarded. Yesterday also, 31r. E. C. Cockcroft, the acting hon. secretary, and some members of the reception committee, visited the Agricultural Hall for the purpose of ascertaining the progress of the works in pre parition fortbe event. The advance already made underthe direction of the general contractors, Mauro J. liana and hose, of Houndaditch, is considerable. With the ex ception of the space occupied by the riaffolding for the erection of the grand central chandelier, s larch is stated to be half ea large again as that of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden, the entire area of the vast Madding is now boarded over. Artisans, such as gas eriginerra and titter% carpenters, floral and other decorators, others preparing the throne and dais, the preierations for Vie fountains, upholsterers, fitters of enormous sheets of looking-glass, are to be seen concurrently at work in all parts of the building, which presents a perfect hive of industry.
