IMPROMPTV Oe_troar.—A favourite item in the programmes of the district risteddrodan, which are now being held throughout Wales, is a competition wherein all who are desirous of taking part are required to step on to the platform, when a theme is given out upon which the competitors straightway proceed to lecture, he who acquits himself the most creditably receiving the prize. At the Eisteddfod held in Montgomeryshire only one person pre sented himself when the "lecture competition " was an nounced, the orator being an amiable looking young man, decently dressed in a suit of black. All other prelimi naries to the lecture being arranged, the chairman gave out the theme, which proved to be an obscure Welsh pro verb, meaning, in such English as it is capable of being translated into, " A pound and a half-penny tail." Amid the breathless silence of an audience numbering nearly 1,500 people, the young man advanced to the extreme edge of the platform, and after thoughtfully surveying his boots for a moment, looked up, and, holding out his right hand, opened his mouth to speak, but no around issued forth. Nervously changing his position, he again looked round at the upturned faces of the expectant congreption and slowly opened his mouth as before, and with a similar result. Then turning round, he made a sudden bolt off she platform, and disappeared amid roars of laughter from the audience. . .

The Viceroy of Egypt received a deputation in Paris, last Tuesday, from the French Committee of Eman cipation and the British sad Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, who presented an address calling his attention to the White Nile slave trade. The address was signed, on behalf of the English committee, Joseph Cooper, L A. Chame rovsow, secretary ; on behalf of the French committee, Edward Laboulaye, president, member of the Institute ; Augustin Cochin, secretary, member of the Institute ; Eugene Yung, of the Journal des Davits, secretary. His Excellency Huber Paths, Minister for Foreign Affairs, introduced the deputation, and translated his highness's reply, which was to the following effect:—"The Viceroy felt gratified to receive the depute. ion, and much pleased this step bad been taken, for he was most anxious to put down the slave trade. He had adopted the strongest measures for that purpose, but although he could act against his own people, he was defeated when he sought to do so against Europeans, who were the chief delinquents. They carried on • trade in ivory, but this was mere pretext, their real article of merchandise being slaves, which were conveyed down the river in boats. If these boats had no flag, or sailed under Egyptian colours, they were liable to be overhauled, and if slaves were found on board boat and cargo were confiscated, and the traders punished. Within the last six months he had caused to be shot • commandant and • colonel who had disobeyed his orders and favoured the slave-traders. But the slave trading boats generally hoist European colours of some sort, because their owners are Europeans, and if any question respecting the cargo arias, the answer is that the men are part of the crew, the women their wives or con cubines, and the young persons their children. The Egyptian authorities could not do anything under these circumstances, as they were debarred from the right of search. Within the last thirty years European influence had transformed Egypt, and if he were free to act &giblet European slave traders, the slave trade should soon disappear. The European powers should give him the necessary authority to exercise the right of search as regards boats sailing under European colours. The ex tinction of slavery was another and a distinct question. Slavery had existed in the country for 1,21,3 years, and was mixed up with its religion. It was • horrible institu tion, and he desired to see it extinguished, but it was not to be done in • day. He considered that the civilisation and progress of Egypt depended upon its abolition ; and were the slave trade stopped, slavery would disappear in fifteen or twenty years, or very few traces of it would remain, because it would not be recruited from without. Of the actual slave population many would die is that Deficiency of the Income of the Consolidated Fond in Great Britain In the Quarter to March 31, 16e7, for the change of the Con solidated Fund In Great Britain for that quarter las shown In preceding account!

He held the opinion—contrary to the views of the memorialists—that the slave trade was the root of slavery in his country, and must be extin guished before slavery could cease. The abolition of the British consulate at Khartoum had certainly enabled him to act more efficiently against the slave traders, but the only really effective mode of dealing with the traffic was to arm him with power to prevent European. from prose cuting it." The deputation then withdrew. ROYAL ALBERT ORPHAN ASYLUM. INAUGURATION BY THE QUEEN. On Saturday afternoon her Majesty performed the ceremony of inaugurating the Royal Albert Orphan Asylum, at Collingwood-court, near Bag shot, Surrey, and also laid the foundation stone of a dining hall and chapel intended for the use of jhe inmates. The afternoon was brilliantly fine, and the proceedings were witnessed by a numerous and fashionable assembly, including the bishop of the diocese and many of the principal clergymen of the neighbourhood, the lord-lieutenant and high sheriff of the county, and many distinguished officers from the neighbouring camp at Aldershot. 7 - The royal party, consisting of her Majesty, Prince and Vrincess Louis of Hesse ' Princess Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, *Rh the suite, left Windsor in two carriages and four about three o'clock, and after stopping to change horses at Sunningdale, reached Collingwood-park about a quarter past four. At the en trance her Majesty was received by a guard of honour of the 6th Surrey Rifle Volunteers, who presented arms, the band at the same time playing God Save the Queen." The Queen was loudly cheered by the rustics who had assembled to greet her, and graciously acknowledged their expressions of loyalty and affection. Cavalry vedettes were posted at intervals along the avenue ; and in front of the asylum the company of the 70th were drawn up as a guard, and paid her Majesty the cus tomary military honours as she descended from the carriage. Several rooms in the asylum had been appropriated to the use of the royal party, and handsomely fitted up in the style of Louis XIV. But a slight stay was made in these apartments, however,and very shortly after half-past four o'clock the Queen entered the ceremonial tent, upon the dais of which a large number of the stewards were already assembled. At the entrance to the tent her Majesty was received by the Right Hon. Ga thorn. Hardy, Home Secretary, the Marquis of Exeter, M. 'Van de Weyer, Belgian Minister, the Bishop of Winchester, the Earl of Lovelace, Lord Lieutenant, and Mr. J. Moore Moly neux, High Sheriff of the county of Sur rey. As the Queen stepped upon the dais the company rose from their seats, and the band of the 4th Irish Dragoons played the National Anthem. Her Majesty and the princesses took the places that had been assigned to them, but remained standing for some time. TheQueen,who was looking remark ably well, was attired in black, the only white about her being the Mary Queen of Scots cap and a white lace collar. Princess Louis of Hesse, or Princess Alice, as it always seems more natural to call her, wore a handsome dress of white muslin' trimmed with the richest lace and em broidery over pink silk. Her cloak, which I was something between a cape and a jacket, was white, lavishly adorned with gold embroidery. Her bonnet was white, and its principal, if not only, adornments were blue flowers, which were worn both in front and under the chin. Princess Louise was dressed in a very handsome flowered muslin, a white cloak or bernous, and a white bonnet with flowers of the same colour and green leaves. Prince Louis and Prince Leopold were both in onlinary morning dress. As soon as the band had finished playing the National Anthem, Mr. William Williams read to her Majesty an address, which he afterwards handed to the Home Secretary. Her Majesty remained standing while this ad- ! dress was read. She listened to it through-' out with great attention, and exhibited a good deal of emotion at the references to her late consort. In addition to the address the secretary also pre- I sented, without reading it, a short statement of the circumstances which led to the foundation of the institution, and the purposes which it was tended to serve. At the close of the address the Queen proceeded to lay the foundation stone of the proposed chapel and dining-hall. The stone itself bore no inscrip tion, but in spreading the mortar her Majesty made use of a silver trowel furnished by Messrs. London and Ryder, of New Bond-street, on which was engraved Presented to her Most Gracious Majesty on laying the foundation stone of the Dining-hall and Chapel of the Albert Orphan Asylum, Collingwood Court, Bagahot, Surrey, 29th June, 1867." The stone having been lowered her Majesty struck it three times with the mallet and afterwards applied the plumb and square in order to ascertain that it was truly laid. These' formalities having been observed, she made a com munioation to Mr. Williams, the honorary sem tarv, who thereupon announced that her Majesty had declared the asylum open for the reception of destitute orphan children for all time, land had been graciously pleased to alter its title to that of the "Royal" Albert Orphan Asylum ; a statement • which was received with loud cheering from the! gentlemen and much waving of fans, parasols, and pocket handkerchiefs on the part of the ladies, who are never constrained to hold their peace except when the loudest ejaculations couldj cause no one any annoyance. The manifestations of satisfaction were only half exhausted when they were stilled by the calm clear voice of the Bishop of Winchester pronouncing the solemn invitation, " Let us pray." All vases were at once hushed into a reverent silence, while the bishop, after reading the collect of the day, offered up the fol lowing short prayer for the success of the institu tion :—" 0 Lord, our heavenly Father, we beseech Theo, bless this our work, and grant that the chil dren from time to time admitted into this institu tion may become useful members of society, daily • increase in the knowledge of Thy truth, and adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." This was followed by the Lord's Prayer, the 13th verse of the 10th chapter of St. Mark and the 23rd Psalm, all of which were read by the venerable prelate in a firm, clear, and distinct voice, which Made them audible in every pert et the large tent. The children then sang a abort hymn, " I heard the voice of Jesus say," and the religious portion ' of the ceremony was concluded by the bishop's pronouncing the benediction. After this carne the presentation of the purses, in which about 300 , ladies and children took part. Some of the little girls who were actors in this portion of the ceremony were very small indeed ; but the smaller they were, the more gracious and kindly was her Majesty's recognition of their offerings. The brightest smile, the most gracious bow of all was reserved for one wee toddling thing, whose progress across the platform without a stumble required the greatest caution and circumspection I of which the infantine mind can be supposed to be capable, and whose mirtsey upon depositing her purse, which she seemed childishly loth to part with even to a Queen, was one of the funniest little " bobs " that can ever have been witnessed in nursery or parlour. Throughout, her Majesty exhibited the greatest interest in this part of the ceremonial, her countenance was almost constantly brightened by a pleased and l l cheerful smile, and she repeatedly bowed her ap proval to the fair 'girls and stately matrons who I laid before her the results of their charitable labours on behalf of a small portion of the destitute and , orphan children who are subject to her rule. As ; soon as the purses had all been presented the child ren, accompanied by the band of the Dragoons, ; I sang two verses of the national anthem ; and the Queen and princesses left the tent amid • loud and enthusiastic cheering. Before leaving the • institution her Majesty planted a " Wellington ia gigantea " in the front garden ; and having erected • —if that term may be used with reference to a tree—this memorial of her visit to the asylum, she • drove back to Windsor, accompanied down the avenue and along the ro ad by the hearty acclama tions of her loyal and devoted subjects. After her Majesty's departure, the general com pany adjourned to the refreshment marquee, where, an elegant dijeuner had been laid out for the occasion by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion. The Hon. Mr. Calthorpe, in the unavoidable absence of his , father, the president, occupied the chair, and was • ' suppo rted by a large number of noblemen and :Igentlemen. "The health of her Majesty " and the other loyal toasts were enthusiastically drunk ; and " The Army and Navy and Volunteers" were , severally resporded to by General Sir J. Yorke 1 Scarlett and Lord Ranelagh. Mr. Toole acted as '1 master of the ceremonies and toast-master. The amount raised for the benefit of the charity during the day was about 4,0001., of which one half wan represented by the purses, and the other was contributed by the stewards. THE PUBLIC BREAKFAST IN HONOUR OF MIL LLOYD GARRISON. After our report left on Saturday, Earl Rl:sant (who was much cheered) said—lt is permitted to me, and I hold it a distinguished honour, to join in this tribute of admiration to Mr. Garrison. It is the characteristic of our race that, amidst evils on. numbered and miseries unrelieved, though often deeply felt, and institutions which condemn millions to what seems a hopeless serritude,the Almighty has planted in some breasts a feeling of indignation against wrong, a zeal to redress the evils which press upon the most wretched of their fellow-men, that raises up delivers for mankind, who will not rest until the evils they struggle against %redone away, with until the balance is redreaml, and the fortunes of their race seem to brighten. Such • spirit is found in lour guest of to-day. Mr. Garrison felt for the evils of his fellow-men of an oppressed race; he devoted himself to the object of removing them ; be was ready to encounter death itself in the pursuitof that salutary and worthy object; and be has been happy enough to live to ace the victory of freedom over slavery, and to grapple with it in the form which has I prevailed both in America and our own colonies, and which my noble friend obo spoke before me bas well designated as one of the worst evils that have afflicted mankind. (Cheers.) Having said this with respect to Mr. Garrison, you will permit me to join in another sentiment which has been expressed by the Duke of Argyll, that this may be an ocou'on wh'ch will tend to draw closer the ties of I friendship and affection which ought to bind us to the United States of America. (Loud cheers.) So far, unfor tunately, the condition of mankind has been such that men seem to seek every occasion of difference with each other, In order to found upon those differences relations of hostility land mutual hatred. Difference of class, difference of race, difference of religion, difference of situation, difference of domestic institutions, all seem to be grounds on which those who are natural enemies to love and affection seek to implant sentiments of hatred and hostility, leading often to bloody wars, and consequences the most calamitous to mankind. If this be so, and I am afraid it is little in our power to prevent those causes from ' having this operation, may we not consider that the friend ! ship existing between us and the United States of America, having our birth from the same ancestors, having both the blessings of Christianity, having (though with different in stitutions) the same knee of freedom, thould tend to replace by a thorough and entire affection the old leaven of hatred , and which has sometimmtroubled their connection? I Should not these considerations impress us with affection I and regard for our brethren in America, and make us per petually friend*? (Loud cheers.) Well, I have may own faults to acknowledge in this respect, because I certainly thought, when the slave states of American endeavoured to establish their independence, and at the same time to con tinue and perpetuate tin. institution of slavery, that the Northern States ought at once to have proclaimed not only their own abhorrence, but the abolition and destructiou of slavery. Distance and want of knowledge of the circum stances of America made me fall into error in that respect. (Hear, hear.) I was afterwards convinced by the dist-in ! plighted man who represents the United States in this country—l mean Mr. Adams—l was convinced by him in frequent conversations we had on the subject that I had not rendered due justice to President Lincoln, who was the friend of freedom, and not only the friend but niti. mately the martyr of freedom. (Cheats.) I now, there fore. acknowledge that the task which the government of the United States had to perform was a totally different task, and • much more difficult one, than we bad ourselves to perform, when more than thirty year. ago we abolished slavery in one West India Islands, not having that slavery mixed with our own domestic institutions, ,not having it involved and twined into all our rela tions, whether political or social, but merely looking ' upon it as • question affecting mankind, as a social and a religious obligation imposed upon us by our adherence to Christianity, not as having what the United States had, the utmost difficulty in disentangling all the intricacies of the question, and prevailing upon men whose interests, and even their very existence, seemed bound up with it, to abandon their false gods. (Chun.) Not having that difficulty before us, I did not do justice to the efforts, made by the United States, but I am now persuaded that President Lincoln did all that it was pos sible to do, and that we are bound to give our tribute of admiration to the excellent policy which the President and his government pursued, and which has resulted in the great consummation we see before us—the entire liberation of 4,000,000 of negro slaves from the bondage in which they were held. (Great cheering.) I may well say, as my noble friend has just said, that all those animosi ties which prevailed some 80 years ago, between the people of this country and the people of the United States of America, have entirely disappeared from our breasts, and that on the 4th of July, which is approaching, we all um can feel as much admiration for the memory of General Washington, a man, I believe, of the purest glory amongst all the great men who have existed in modern iliaol, and as much rejoicing over the triumphs of freedom and the spread of free institutions as the Americans them selves. (Loud cheers). There is this further ground fee sympathy, and for rejoicing in common, that we and they hate combined in treating the race of Africa as a free com munity, free to enter into the paths of industry, free to distinguish themselves in intellectual progress as much as any race of our own colour. Having this additional source of sympathy and fellow-feeling let us hope that the friend ship of the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland may endure unbroken, and that Mr. Garrison may carry with him, amongst other gratifications, this reflection, that our meeting here to-day has tended: ) the better union of two races who ought never to be kepi rated. (Great cheering.) Mr. Mtn., M.P., drew from the success of the anti slavery cause in America two lessons, the one that those who desired to improve mankind should aim at something difficult and great, regardless of the reproach of Quixotism or fanaticism ; the second, that if, aiming at something noble and groat, we succeeded, that success produced hundreds of other advantages which were never contem plated as connected with it. In this case the heart and mind of America had not been stirred up from its foundations en the slavery question without other good results besides the emancipation of the negro race. The prejudices of society, of which there were many in that coun try, were rapidly melting away, the chains of prescrip tion were being removed, and it was not only the negro slaves in Amerman that bad been set free, bat the mind of the American nation. The new difficulties had raised up a new state of mental activity which had entirely sup planted the intellectual 11,114 moral stagnation that 'nevi- Ve CHAIRMAN them put the address to the meeting, which adopted it unanimously and with much cheering. Mr. GA mow', who on rising was greeted with loud and repeated plaudits, said, in the mine of his speech—Slavery hoe now passed awayfrons America. Henceforth, through all coming time, advocates el jute ioe, friends of reform, be net discouraged if you have a righteous cause. No matter how few may be disposed to rally round the standard you may raise, if that student be one of justice, if your faith be a faith which cannot be shaken, because it is linked to the Eternal Throne—it is only a question of time, and you will and meet sneseed. (Cheers.) When I kited your country main in 1840 it was as one of the delegates of the world's Anti-Slavery Convention, to which all the world was invited to come. Lucretia Mott and some other ladies came with me, but they could not enter the convention because they were women; and as they could not get in I would not. (Cheers.) I said I will not dishonour them or the country which they represent by creeping into the convention alone if they were excluded. (Cheers.) I believe there has been considerable change in public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic with respect to the appropriate sphere of woman's duties. (Cheers.) I rejoice that there is this growing interest in the cause of woman, which is the cause of the whole world—(hear, hear)—for in the state, in the government, in the church, everywhere, the more we can gather up all the brains of the nation the better will be the state, the government, and the church in consequence. In other words, the one sex is equal to the other ; and if to all are given their responsi bilities, all will do better than if any are deprived of their responsibilities. Lain glad to recognise' here to-day one who recently stood up in his place in the House of Com mons for woman's rights. (Cheers.) With rupect to the war which has been brought to so successful • close, there never was a more causeless war in the world. The government of the United States had never done any thing to the slave-holding States by way of injustice, and ; the people of the North had never dreamt of doing any in ! justice whatever. On the contrary, even after secession took place, such was the infatuation of the North that it was willing to go into fresh compromises to keep the Union together. But the American government was wholly in the right and the South wholly in the wrong, and the war ' was at last necessary and unavoidable. (Cheers.) The South wanted slavery, the North did not want it ; it wanted union. But the Union at that time was one which deserved to be broken in pieces : it was a compact with death, • union with hell, on account of its pro-slavery companions, its fugi ire slave acts, and other things passed to conciliate the slave holders of the South. Thank God it has now all gone. (Cheer) The law of the United States now rovides that henceforth no human being shall be held in the bondage of slavery. (Cheers.) Many on this aide of the Atlantic have rendered good service in the great work ; and I will mention, among others, the Duke of Argyll Lord Houghton, Mr. Bright, Mr. Stuart Mill, Mr. i Forster, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Stsusfeld, Mr. T. B. Potter, Mr. ' Goldwin Smith, Professor Newman, and Professor Huxley. Then, as regards newspapers. here in London there is the Daily News, the Morning Seer, the Spectator, the Non conformist, all on our side ; but, if my memory is not at fault, I believe the Times is not to be placed in this honourable category; and, if I do not mistake, the Times was rather inclined to bring discredit on the Americus government, but succeeded only in bringing discredit upon itself. (Cheers.) But forgiving. if we cannot entirely forget, the past, let us hope for better "Times" to come. ("(Hear, hear," and a laugh.) I cannot tell you with what pleasure I listened to the speech of Earl Hassell. I know there was at the time of the war a good deal of feeling in my country in regard to some things which fell from him which seemed to be, if not hostile, at least equivocal, about our position. I do not wonder myself that there was • good deal of misconception and misapprehension with respect to what was going on on our side. It was a very much mixed upq uestiou for a long time, and until Abraham Lincoln sent forth his immortal proctae.ation of emancipation. (Cheep.) Then it was that the heart of England showed itself to be one and indivisible upon the question of freedom with the North. Earl Russell could not have exalted himself more by anything he could have done than by what lie has said to-day. (Cheers.) He has reached a sublime altitude by making the manly confession of his errors. sty tieing this I be has risen to be God-like. (Cheers.) The man who carried emancipation for the West Indies never could feel senti ments other than favourable to the freedom of the negro in the United States of America. America and England I cannot be divided. By every condition under Heaven let us resolve to keep the peace. (Cheers.) If we have old grudges, let the grudges be thrown to the winds. If there are any wrongs let them be redressed without striving to destroy one another on the battle-field. Let there be peace—a true peace—a just peace— peace by for bummer', peace by long suffering, peace by generous con cessions—peace in the spirit of peace, for the sake of the cause of mankind, and that we may lead the nations of the world to freedom and happiness. (Cheers.) In re turning you again my hearty thanks for the kindly senti ments which you have towards my country and to my self, permit me to repeat some lines which were written by that great advocate of emancipation, Mr. George IThompson : Then let tis haste those bonds to knit, And in the work be handy, That we mar 1,101.1 0.4 save the Queen," With Vankinyiluoille Dandy. (Cheers.) Mr. German Tirovesmr next addreseed the meeting, speaking of his own efforts in the cause of abolition, and tracing the struggle in this country and in Anierim until that cause obtained its final success, and expressing fervent hope that the friendship between the two nations, and their united action in the work of human progress, human freedom, and human happiness, might be ever lasting. Yr. STANsFELD, M.P., next spoke of the high esteem in which he had always regarded the life and character of Mr. Garrison, and congratulated not only America but humanity at large on the result of the struggle between the Northern and Southern States et America. . . --- Mr. V. Haecouttr, M.P., proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman. . . . The Hon. E. L STANLEY &winded the motion, which, having been carried by acclamation, was duly acknowledged by Mr. Bright, who congratulated the meeting that besides doing honour to their distinguished guest, they might hope that they had done something that day to forward those great principles to the furtherance of which Mr. Garrison's whole life bad been directed. He took occasion likewise to refer to the labours in the anti-slavery cause of Theodore Parker and Mrs. Beecher Stowe. The company then separated. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The prepara tions for the approaching Bury St. Edmunds meeting of this society are now rapidly drawing to a close. Although it will not be possible to hold a cattle show this year, the amount usually absorbed by cattle prizes has been added to the horse prices, and an unusually excellent show of horses is expected to be the result. The show of imple ments will be of unparalleled extent. A great additional attraction is offered by • national show of plants, flowers, fruits, &c., which will be held simultaneously at Bu q St. Edmunds, under the auspices of the Royal Horticul tural Society. The great horticultural gathering will take place on a site which was formerly a vineyard belonging to the grand abbey of St. Edmund. Tax Ilium ItAiLwAr QuasrioN.—The Duke of Richmond, Sir Stafford Northcote, Mr. Walpole.
