THE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT. BERLIN. lLtacti 21.

This amendment was negatived by 130 against 128 votes. In to-day's sitting the North German parliament adopted by a large majority the amendments of Herr von Twesten, extending the competence of the Bund to questions relating to the military and naval organization of the North German Con federacy, and deciding that in cases of a division of opinion in the Federal council the President shall have a casting vote, but only in the event of his opinion being favourable to the maintenance of existing institutions. The amendment proposed by Herr Schaffrath was rejected. Few members sup ported it. The whole of Article 4, which specifies the subjects over which the Bund has legislative authority, was then adopted ass/winded. SOUTH GERMANY. CARLSRURE, MARCH 21. A semi-official article in the Car/srwlie Gazette of to-day considers the Prusso-South German trea ties as inspiring confidence in the future develop ment of Germany, as Germans have now in case of danger a united fatherland. The same article further says : " Let us hope that the day is far distant when the stipulations of the alliance would have to be carried out. The happiest result to which the new alliance could lead would be the complete legislative and commercial unity of Germany." . _ AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MARCH 21, Evexum.

Late on Wednesday night a bard frost set In, the probabilities of racing on Thursday being very remote. The sun, however, shone brilliantly early in the morning, and soon bad a beneficial effect on the course, rendering it practicable for running. A legal question was tried yesterday morning before two magis trates. W. ;Smith, KIN., and Edward Dodd, Yeti, et Wan". k which excited Immens e int e re s t among th e "li s t keepers" ana rating men generally. The case resulted from a summons being Mined against a man named Parker, who occupied a "list," for being the owner of a place for betting ; Parker, according to a section of the Gaming Act, rendering himself liable to a penalty not exceeding £lOO. The origin of the affair was a quarrel be tween the list men, the defendant Parker refusing to sublet a portion of the ground which he had by tender taken for the race week of the Chamberlains and Commoners ef St. Mary's Com monable Land, to the plaintiffs, Arthur and John DuMn. As stated in the opening address of Mr. Tibbetts, solicitor for the defendant, the case was of much greater importance than at first appeared, as it affected the very question now at issue with the Doucaster corporation, and the Life" of Wednesday last it. The evidence learn r 4t ee dritleman quoted the " Sportitisg brought to aubstantlate the summons utterly led te establish the two Important issues, via., ownership and {heat of betting, and the THAW was therefore dismissed. The decision of the magistrates was received with evident signs of satisfaction by a crowded court. As the hour approached for racing to commence the town assumed a more animated appearance than on either of the preceding days, the trains bringing an average number of visitors. It was evident that Mr. Merry had done all in his power to make the course as " good going" as possible, the Mow being cleared away from halt its width, but uotwith tanding everything that could he done it was fearfully heavy, the warmth of the sun making It & a r t : 4, l;feet quagmire, literally • thering the jockeys In mud each race. The scenery from the bland had a very "'steely aspect, the surrounding country being still covered with mow, but the sun otiltbrightly, the *tare was not an unpleasant onsidering the adverse circumstances under which the meeting has suffered, the attendance was quite as good as could be expected, the aristocratic patronage ',clue particularly notice able. The maim, which began with the stand Handicap and ended with the Farmers' Plate, embracing seven items, was only remarkable for one or two features. The ridiculously light weight at which Chibisa, 4 yrs, Sat elb, was handicapped, though a "fea ther" in the scale was anything but in the handicapper's hat, for he walked in six lengths a-head of everything. The only other point worth notice was that the popular Mows of the Duke of Hamilton were borne to the front be Beadle, very cleverly beat ing a field of six others.

A senatorial caucus has pronounced in favour of Con gress remaining in session until the President has ap pointed the commanders of the southern districts, sad then adjourning until November. A joint resolution of the senate to amend the constitu tion, and so prevent any State from prohibiting voting or office holding on account of colour, has been referred to the Judiciary Committee. Governor Wills has proclaimed the Reconstruction Bill to be in force in Louisiana.

The vessels have encountered very equally weather, and one of them, the Assurance, gunboat, has come back to this island, having sustained serious damage, which she is now making good. The Galatea, frigate, commanded by hie Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, was expected here from Lisbon and Gibraltar to join the Mediterranean fleet, but it is now stated that the movements of the frigate have been modified, and that she will not touch at this island. The American corvette Canandaigna arrived in Malta a few days ago from Port Mahon, and left again for Candia and other porta in the East. Another American corvette is shortly ex• peers,' in this port from Civita Vecchia, having on board General IL King, the United States Minister in Rome. Admiral Goldaborough's squadron is reported to be under orders to proceed to the East about the middle of next month, and it is very probable that the vessels will touch at Malta on their way. Captain Weeks, of the Nyanrs, which arrived on Wednesday, reports that, a little before sunset on the previous day, whilst in the waters of Pantel leria, a few miles distant from Malta, he observed dense smoke issuing from the highest part of that island, accom panied by very bright light, which he attributes to a vol canic eruption."

Deputations from Antwerp, Verviers, and Liege, were present, and the meeting unani mously voted the following declaration:—" This assembly protests, with all the energy of the national dignity, against the accusation which a minister has launched against the Belgian people, whom he represented as capa ble of selling their electoral rights for a barrel of beer or iyin. The meeting protests against the declaration, which is in direct opposition to national right and to the spirit and letter of the constitution, and which tends to nothing leas than to condemn the people to an eternal ostracism. The meeting declares the People's League constituted, with the mission of pursuing the object assigned to it by the committee named at the meeting of the 'and Decem ber. 1866." The object of the People's League is to pre pare and assure to the people the right of suffrage, better instruction, and a greater amount of comfort. AD/KIRI:1T; MARCH 21. APPOINTNINTS.

Mears. Weal, of 137, Hounds ditch, have ou sale a first consignment of 60,0001 be. of Australian beef, and h►ve made arrangements for taking a similar quantity every mouth. The meat is the best Australian beef, not salted, but carefully stewed and packed in tins hermetically sealed. It has none of the common objectionable appearances or favours of preserved meat ; and, being ready cooked, is exceedingly cheap at the retail price of 7d. the pound without bone. This is not more than 6d. a pound with bone, and, if it be true that one company alone in Australia could send us as nuttily the beef of ten thousand fat oxen at this price, some of us may yet live to see beef coming down in price in the general markets of this country. [STAMPID, lg. ADDITIONAL.] NATIOX4L SUBDAY LEAGUN. e — The annual meeting of the members and friends of this league was held last eveding at St. Martin's-ball, I under the chairmanship of Sir JOSINITA WAL/INIAT. The report of the executive committee stated that the working classes to the number of 1,2'00 were supporters of the league, and that the strength of the movement had • not only increased, but its organisation had been con solidated, and its internal arrangements considerably modified to meet the requirements of the members. In the spring the council on two Sundays invited Crystal Palace shareholder' to spend social and recreative after moons with them at the Crystal Palace, and on each occa sion about 600 persons were present. Discourses on M aloof Eypt, Pompeii, the extinct animals, ka., were de livered-by various friends ; a social tea was enjoyed, ap propriate addresses delivered, and the beauties of the palace and grounds appreciated. The Sunday bands in the parks proved as popular as hitherto ; those in Battersea and Victoria Parks having been more especially taken in charge by the league, produced in the former a larger income than in any previous year, and in the latter pro vided a large amount of seating, as an investment of capital, out of the receipts of the season. Promise having been obtained from the then Chief Commissioner, the Right Hon. W. Cowper, of the erection of a suitable platform I for Battersea-park, a deputation from the council waited on his moaner, Lord John Manner', and obtained the promise from him, and alao• oonsidmation of their request for permission to place a band in Hyde-park, her Ma jesty having previously signified that no objection would be raised on the ground that it was a royal park. Lord John Manners on that occasion bore public testimony to the exemplary conduct of the audiences, his lordship having been present during the performances on several oe- MEMO& The report then referred to the failure of the legal proceedings in reference to " the Sunday evenings for the people" at St. Martin's-hall, and stated that the council would give its utmost support to this movement, which bad been originally instituted by the league, although being now conducted by au association distinct from it, With reference to the evening opening of museums the committee stated, " Let them be open by all means for such as can visit them, but the great mass of the people can only visit them on Sunday without loss of time." The chairman having congratulated the supporters of the league on the success of the movement, Sir John Bowring, moved the adoption of the report. He said that in the days of our ancestors Sunday was associated with bright ness and rejoicing', while at the present day it was handed over to darkness, gloom, and despotism, and he ' certainly more admired the wisdom of our ancestors , than the folly of their descendants in the nineteenth century. Mr. John Crawfurd, F.R.S., seconded the motion, which, after having been supported by Mr. H. J. Slack, was carried unanimously. Addresses were then delivered by other gentlemen, including Mr. Baxter Langley, and the meeting was adjourned till next Wednes day at the Sussex Hall, Bouverie-street, for the election of the council and officers for the next year. SUNDAY LIQUOR TRAFFlc.—Yesterday evening Mr. Walpole received a deputation on this subjec., con sisting of Archbishop Manning, Rev. John Garrett, D.D., Mr. Henry W' tram , from Du blin; and Mr. J. P. Curry, J.P., with Mr. Robert Lindsay, J.P. from Belfast. The deputation was introduced by Dr. Garrett, and accompa nied by Mr. Barley, M.P., bkr. IL Whitworth, M.P., Mr. Blake, /CP., and Mr. Syrian, M.P. Dr. Garrett explained that two bills were prepared to be introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. John Abel Smith for England and Wales, and by Major O'Reilly for Ireland, by which it will be proposed to further regulate the sale of intoxica ting liquors on Sunday, placing the law in both countries on exactly the same footing. Several other members of the deputation having spoken, Mr. Walpole assured the deputation that personally he quite agreed with them, but should consult the other members of the government before he promised to advocate the proposed legislation, to ascertain whether the cabinet would agree to give the measure united support. He expressed his approbation of the principle of total closing for drinking on the premises, and thought the proposed exemptions good and proper. He was glad to receive such a deputation, and concluded by saying " f will give you all the help I can." The deputa tion then withdrew. __ . THE SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY.—A meeting in promotion of this movement was held last evening at St. James's-ball. The committee—representing the persons employed in the drapery and other retail trades—having furnished a financial statement and report, it was an nounced by the chairman Mr. St. Clair, that through the influence of her Chase the Ihnoliess of Sutherland's com mittee—instituted at the martin g at Stafford House, in July last—the signatures of 1,400 ladies who had under taken to avoid shopping after 2 o'clock on Satur day had been obtained during the last three months. Of the thirty-four dripers and silk mercers; who bad adopted the half-holiday last July for a period of three mouths, sixteen had been encouraged to exceed the engagement, and were still clueing at 2 o'clock on Saturdays. Forty-one houses in other trades had also adopted and maintained the same arrangement, and the movement had bad a favourable influence on the late Saturday-night trade prevailing in many districts. Resolutions having been adopted, thanking the 1,4(10 ladies above mentioned, and recognising the continued prevalence of Saturday afternoon shopping, it was an nounced that the Duchess of Sutherland had kindly inti mated the probability of an early meeting of the Wits committee for the purposes of the movement. Several measures were then discussed by the meeting, and it was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Bowen (Messrs. Shoolbrund, to augment the contributions to the special fund. The re ceipt of a cheque for 100 guineas from Messrs. Marshall end Snelgrove, in aid of this object, was announced by the chairman. THE kauicAL PaorEasioN.—The annual regis ter of the Medical Council of Education and Registra -1 tion has just appeared, from which we learn that 19,76.5 medical practitioners are registered, and of this number 3,741 are practising with a surgical qualification only. out of which the Royal College of Surgeons of England have no less than 2,156 ; the sister institutions of Scotland and Ireland having only GIG and 444 respectively. With medical qualifications only, there appear 1,459, of which number the largest are from the Society of Apothecaries, viz., 577. Of those legally practising with foreign diplo mas there are only lilt, the largest number from Berlin, viz. 10. The Britiah Medical Jorraal in which this most elaborate analysis appears adds that the actual state of the profession by no means accords with the intentions of the legislasure, or with the 'pint or letter of the medical i act ; one-tenth of the whole number of practitioners of 1 the country are practising under a diploma given without examination in medicine, nuateria medics, or botany, and without any kind of clinical test whatever—that of the ' Royal College of Surgeons of England. In justice, however, to this institution the Medical Times and Gazette states that for some time past the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons have had meetings to alter the regulations in this respect, so as to embody examinations in these and other important subjects. The admirably conducted organ of the Medical Association states that nearly one-fifth are practising with a surgical diploma only, which would not he accepted by : the Poor-law Hoard, by the authorities of the artily and navy, as alone qualifying them to treat the persons under their charge, and which would nut allow them to recover fees in a court of law for attendance or medicine in anv ' other than purely surgical cases. Of course only a small proportion are practising pure surgery. In respect to me dical degrees the numbers are not quite so large ; but there 5, - are 7 practitioners holding only the diplomas of the Apothecaries' Hall of London, which does not imply of necessity any knowledge of surgery, or any adequate • knowledge of anatomy. They are equally disqualifiml from bolding any public appointment. As a matter of law, the one in practising surgery and the other in 'wee ' timing meal:eine are doing that which the law does not recognise, and which their leal status does not justify. Owing to the exce llent curricula Vv . scribed, the labours of the lecturer and the coo -1 science of the student have so far supplemented the omissions of the venom; examining boards, that those . gentlemen possessing only single qualifications, and never having been examined in the whole of the subjects of which a knowledge is necesaary, are nevertheless highly I informed, and include a large proportion of thoroughly ac complished practitioners. The inconsistency of the pre ; sent state of things with that which is contemplated by law and justified by reason is not less strong. Until the creation of the register, and while the diplomas of every examining board ran within its own jurisdiction, without i inquiry or legal standard of oomparMon, such anomalies were only remarked by the few, and had rather social interest than legal significance ; but now that a definite organisation has been adopted, and that by law persons possessing single qualifications in medicine or surgery are only qualified to practise as such, and according to their qualification, it will assuredly not fail to attract very serious attention that upwards of 5,000 out of a total of i 20.000 practitioners are not qualified by law to practise , more than one department of their profession. TESTIMONIAL TO Da. RICHARDSON. —A commit- tee numbering sonic of the moat eminent men in the 1 medical profession, among others, Mr. Paget, Dr. Burrows, 1 Dr. Gull, Mr. Prescott Hewitt, Dr. Bence Jones , and Pro - i lessor Partridge, has been formed to carry out the result'. I tions of a large meeting of the profession, by raising,' a tea- 1 timonial to Dr. Richardson, in recognition of his labours a and discoveries in medical and allied sciences, but chiefly I for his successful invention of • method for producing a without danger local insensibility to pain in surgical ore- a rations. The honorary secretaries to whom subscriptions may be sent are Mr. It. Dunn, 31, Norfolk-street, W.C., 1 and Mr. R. W. Dunn, 13, Surrey-street, W.C. The Provisional Committee who are engaged in i promoting the establishment of a Welsh University have I (ways the Cambria Leader) offered 10,0001. for the Castle I Hotel, at Aherystwith, and the offer has been accepted. I The hotel coat 80,0001., and has 150 bedrooms. I THE THREATENED STRIKE OF ENGINE DRIVERS. A large meeting of the members of the Engine Drivers and Firemen's United Society (about WU) wan held in Exeter-hall last evening ; Mr. Edwards in the chair. The object of the meeting was to consider the pre sent negotiations pending with various boards of directors, as reported in the papers from time to time. The chair ! man. in opening the proceedings, and other speakers, specially disclaimed any spirit of hostility to boards of directors or railway managers. The first resolution sub patted to the meeting was the following :—" That this meeting urges upon the deputations to the various boards of directors the importance of adhering to the memorial . for ten herrn a day, the mileage and the scale of wages as agreed upon at the conference in November last." This motion was moved by an engine driver of 2.5 years' experience, and seconded also by an engine driver, and was carried unanimously. Other resolutions were passed re ferring to matters of detail, but the chief was the follow ing : That this meeting disclaims on behalf of the engine driven of England any intention, by their present movement, of embarrassing directors or inconveniencing the public; but having endeavoured, in various ways, during the last five years, to get their grievances adjusted, they think that the concessions which they ask should now be granted." During the speeches of the even ing, which were singularly temperate and sensible, it was indicated that there was no appearance yet of • settlement of the question in dis pute on the part of the directors. Several men stated that they had been in the habit of working 12, 15, 18, and in one case 72 hours a day, under severe regulations, that prevented their obtaining proper refreshment. It was stated there was an organisation of 13,000 engine men and firemen throughout the country, firmly and quietly re solved to have their grievances redressed. This union it was said had been absotutely forced upon them, sad they regretted its necessity. For five years, it appeared, me morials have been addressed to various railway compa nies, asking for more reasonable hours and more adequate' pay, and that in some instances the memorials hail not even been acknowledged. One of the speakers attributed this to the utter ignorance of seine of the directors of all details of railway work. The entire proceedings were most enthusiastic, intelligent, and quiet. The directors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway have issued a circular to the engine-drivers and firemen in their service, in which they state that they are anxious to arrive at • settlement of the question, just and satisfactory to the proprietors, the men, arid the constituting • day's work, the beard are able to meet the request of the men on the basis of 60 hours per week of six working days. all time beyond to be paid for at the rate of eight hours per week-day. Arrangements will he made to ob viate any ground of dissatisfaction as to the payment for extra time and the working out of detail. The number of engine-men receiving the maximum rate of we., 7a. lid. a day, will be steadily increased. A correspon&ng num ber of firemen will be maintained at a rate of pay and on terms generally at least as favourable as may prevail cm any railway in the kingdom. As evidence of the d e sire manifested by the board to deal liberally with their men, 'this company ham established and maintained, without contributions from the men, a special fund to provide for the superannuation of incapacitated or old and faithful servants, at the credit of which fond there is now 22,8531. available for that purpose. An overcoat will be supplied to the men each year, and they will be allowed to retain the old one, as requested in the memorial. On all occa sions when men are sent on duty rendering it necessary for them to reside away from their homes, they will be paid `2.. lid, per day for their expenses. As a rule, engine drivers and firemen are to have nine hours clear off duty before being called upon again, as requested in the memo rial. Time and a half will continue to be allowed for all Sunday duty, as requested in the memorial. The directors are willing to leave to the settlement of a public board---• say the Board of Trade—any question which from time to time they may be unable to adjust. THE WATESJoRn ELECTION PETITION.—The general committee of elections, consiating of Mr. Whit bread (chairman), Mr. ('lay, Sir Frederick William Heygate, the Hon. E. F. Leveson Gower, Mr. Sclater- Booth, and Sir William Sterling Maxwell, met yestenky afternoon to appoint a select committee to try and deter , mine the matter of the petition of the Hon. Walter Cedl , Talbot, optima:dieing of an undue return for the county of Waterford in December last. The members selected were , Mr. Hugh Adair (chairman), Mr. Richard Arkwright, Mr. George Cnbitt, Mr. Henry Grenfell, and Mr. Dillwyn. MIIIIOIIIAL TO TIM LATH WILLIAM COTTON, • F.R.S.—A proposal is about to he immediately set on foot . for the purpose of carrying out a memorial to the late Mr. William Cotton, who was at the time of hi. death a , director and past governor of the Rank of England, in which institution he carried out many improvement: ; and , to his patient ingenuity, the beautiful piece of mechanism , which attracts all visitors at the Bank—the sovereign , weighing-machine—dates its origin. Mr. Cotton was, per , haps, even better known in the religious world, as the judicious adviser and friend of the late as well as the , present Bishop of London, in the largo schemes they sue t cessively promoted for the evangelizing the poor of the I metropolis, by the building of churches, schools, . He woe, in fact, known in all good works for . the poor, and to one in particular we may refer— • the establishment of public baths and washhouses, in which useful movement he may be regarded as, perhaps, the premier; and for the ultimate succesa of which he , expended during his life a large sum of money. Two sug gestions as to the form of memorial to Mr. Cotton have I been privately mooted—both of them having reference to the decorations of St. Maul's Cathedral, with the com mittee for the carrying out of which be was associated as a member ; one is the filling with painted glass the window in the north transept, opposite to the great organ, , and the other, completing the two additional mandrils under the dome, on each side of the entrance to the choir, in mosaic, simil ar to the two that have been already ex ecuted by Salviati's process. We believe it is the inten tion to limit the amount of individual subscriptions to ten pounds.—Cdg Pratt. THE LATE REV. JAMES WILLIAM MARKWELL, ILA. —Foremost in the ranks of earnest labourers amongst the squalid poor of this metropolis may be placed the name of the Rev. James William IlarkWell, M.A. Cambritlge, recently deceased. His death at the early age of 48 de prives the bumbler classes in the poverty-stricken districts of the Curtain-road and the borough of Finabury of a sincere and zealous friend. The deceased gentleman was ordained when very young, and was formerly of St. Matthew's, Manchester, then of St. Cle ment Danes, Strand, London, of Trinity Church, Albany. street, New-road, Marylebone. and lastly was specially selected, nearly seventeen years ago, by the late Bishop of London for clerical service at St. James's, Curtain-nod. Here his ability, his kindness, and Lis numerous excellent qualities, were largely appreciated, and quickly rendered him very popular as a preacher and as a guide. He also roundest Sunday and national schools which were amongst the largest in thiiinetropolis. His forethought and bene volence for the poor of his own district secured him their affection, and amongst the moat pleasing of sights were the many treats which, in the shape of country excursioue, pie-Mea t and other green-field outings, lie was accustomed to give in the season to the poor, the aged, and the young of both sexes. His decease has mimed the profoundest grief amongst his numerous parishioners and a large circle persoeal friends. RAILWAY AND °THEM Bala IN PARLIAMENT.— In the House of Lords' Committees yesterday their lord ships threw out the Sirlhowy Railway bill. The Waterloo and Whitehall (Extension of time), and the Waterloo and Whitehall (Abandonment) hills, being unopposed, were referred hock to the chairman of committees.

The London and North Western, Buxton (Chapel-en-I_-Frith and Sheffield), Railway Bill, again occupied the attention of Mr. Schole. field's Conintittee, without any result. In Mr. W. 0. Stanley's Committee (Group 10) the Caledonian anti Forth and Clyde Navigation Bill passed through, and several other Scotch bills were adjourned. The Newry and Armagh, the Waterford, New Ross, and Wexford Junc tion, being unopposed, werereferred back to the cliainmen of committees. FATAL ACCI DENT AT CAMBERW ELL. —Yesterday, between twelve and one o'clock in the forenoon, an acci dent of a fatal character took place in Church-street, Camberwell, near the Grove. Shortly before the time mentioned, a person named Alexander was occupied on the roof of the house, No. 4 Church-street, occupied by Mr. Seagrire, a tobacconist, for the purpose of clearing the gutter, and in the course of his operation, haring placed a pair of steps against the coping, a very large portion of the stone fell into the street with &terrific cniali, shive:ing to fragments a large portion of the tlag•way beneath, and striking two women, two children, and eight men who were passing at the time.
