It The Danish Rigsdag was opened at half-past 12 i this forenoon by King Christian in person. His Majesty read a speech from the throne, in which i he said : " A bill for the dowry of the Princess Dagmar will be laid before the Chambers. Denmark has not remained untouched by the political events that have recently taken place in the centre of Europe. By the treaty of peace concluded between Austria and Prussia at Prague, the latter power has undertaken to restore North Schleswig in so far as the population may by free voting pronounce themselves in favour of such a step. Although this has not yet taken place, still the text of the treaty, and the national direction in which European relations are now being developed, are a guarantee that we also shall obtain the natural fron tiers necessary for the security of the country. This is the object towards which, since the treaty of Vienna, our hopes have ever been directed. The justice of these hopes has been recognised by friendly powers, and especially by the government of the Emperor Napoleon, who has testified a warm interest in our country, and has thereby earned our profound gratitude. Denmark sees in the proposed settlement of the question a proof of the friendship of Prussia." His Majesty further stated that preparations were being made for the defence of the kingdom, ; notably with regard to fi re-arms, which were being I placed upon an improved footing. The questions connected with the finances of the Duchies were mainly settled, and the general financial positions of the entire monarchy gave rise to no apprehen sions for the future. DISTURBANCES IN GENEVA. GENEVA, Nov. 12. Serious riots took place in this city and at Ca rouge yesterday evening, in consequence of the voting for the election of the Grand Council. At the latter place the Independents were forcibly driven back and prevented from voting before the electoral urns were closed. At half-past 7 a band of some 200 persons from Carouge suddenly at tacked the Hall of Elections of Geneva after the voting was finished, but were repulsed by the In dependents. Being reinforced by the Radicals, the rioters attempted to break in the doors and windows of the building, and attacked the interior with stones. The Independents armed themselves with benches and balusters, and again repulsed the assailants, succeeding in keeping the urns intact. The gendarmes subsequently arriving, order was restored. About fourteen wounded persons, nearly all belonging to the Independent party, have been taken to the hospital. The attacking party carried off their wounded. A battalion of troops has been called under arms. Considerable agitation prevailed this morning in the city. The examination of the voters will be finished in the course of the day. GENEVA, Nov. 12, EVENING. The independent party have triumphed in the elections in the city, and in the quarter on the right bank of the river, and the radicals have the majo rity on the left bank. The grand council will thus I be composed of 63 members of the independent party and 41 radicals. The excitement caused by the riots is sub ! siding. THE POPE AND MALTA. FLORENCE, Nov. 12. Intelligence received here from Rome states that it has been decided at a secret consistory that if the Pope be obliged to quit Rome, he will seek an asylum in Malta. The ecclesiastical authorities of that island have received semi-official notifica tion of this decision. VALF,TTA. Nov. 12. Prayers were offered in the Roman catholic churches on Sunday last for the deliverance of the church from her enemies, and the Pope from his present grievous troubles.

THE PRUSSIAN BUDGET. BERLIN, Nov. 12. At the re-assembling of the Chambers to-day the Finance Minister brought into the Chamber of Deputies the budget for 1867. He stated that the power granted by the Cham bers to contract a loan had not yet been made use of ; 271 t millions had been paid into the Treasury. The revenue of 1866 showed a total of 168,804,000 thalers, including a sum of 4,600,000 thalers derived from war contributions, thereby exceeding the preliminary estimates by the amount of 7,210,000 thalers. Of this sum 2,400,000 thalers would be devoted to increasing the salaries of offi cials and school teachers, and to increasing the pay of the military forces. INDIA. (BY MELT OVERLAND TELEGRAPH.)

When Victor Emmanuel had landed at St. Mark's, amid shouts of welcome which could not be choked by November fog, when a Te Deum had been chanted in the Basilica, and his Majesty had entered the palace prepared for his reception, the city was full of joy. There had been no hindrance or mishap, despite the gloomy weather. If the glorious 7th of November had not realised every expectation, it had at leant brought the long-ex pected King safely amongst his people. What though illuminated house - fronts glimmered strangely on that misty evening and the canals gave but a faint reflection of coloured lamps, or of tasteful transparencies, it was, nevertheless, festival such as would not occur again in a whole century of quiet advancement. There was a thick fog yesterday, and the luck- less gondoliers, who had hoped for a double share of patronage during the stay of so many foreigners in Venice, were again disappointed. But the all absorbing question in hotels and coffee-houses—the question anxiously debated by foreigners from far and near—was how to get tickets for the Fenice. This theatre, after remaining closed for several years, has recently been opened to the public, and last night it was to be honoured by the presence of Victor Emmanuel. So everyone wished for a ticket. Some made up their minds to do the best they could for themselves by waiting at the doors, others purchased what they desired at a high pre mium. Before eight o'clock the Fenice was crowded to excess, with a bright array of beauty, diamonds, and tricolour scarfs in the boxes, with the stalls as full as they could be from side to side, from front to rear, and with a struggling mass of spectators in the pit, from whom rose cries of " Enough, enough," when more tried to enter. The house was brilliantly lighted, the excitement was intense. Even in the fifth tier of boxes, close beneath the roof, where au English gallery would have been, there was not one empty space. From floor to ceiling was the same crowd of eager faces, with well nigh the same array of beauty and jewels. All ej es were turned upon the royal box in the centre of the grand tier, handkerchiefs were ready to be waved, and I observed that many enthusi astic young ladies had gracefully cleared for action by laying aside the henget or the fan, that they might clap their hands at a moment's notice. We had not long to wait. Victor Emmanuel, like a true soldier, was scrupuloasly punctual. He entered the royal box whilst gentlemen in the pit were still protesting against any addition to their number, and, as the ladies on either side stood up and waved their handkerchiefs, those angry cries of "Enough, enough," merged into a per fect storm of applause. " Long live the Re Galantuomo !" " Long live the House of Savoy !" was shouted twenty times over ; whilst his Majesty, accompanied by the Princes Humbert and Amadeus, advanced to the front of the box and bowed repeatedly in acknowledgment of the greeting. Victor Emmanuel has little taste for music, and after a song, specially composed for the occasion, had been sung by the whole operatic company, and the first part of the first act of Ba/b) in Maschera had been performed to a very inattentive audience, the dancers were called on without further delay. They executed many intricate figures and did their part exceedingly well, but what went forward on the stage was a mere excuse for a crowded assembly to receive the King. It was more of a political than a theatrical night, and the house was better worth seeing than the performance announced in the playbills. Herewas " Vittorio," who had come, at last. There on either side, above and below, looking up and looking down towards his box, were the loyal Venetians eager to bid him welcome, and the foreigners of every nation eager to watch their eagerness. Need I say that there were a score of British subjects distinctly recognisable; that there was a group of pretty Americans won over by the contagion of the place from their republican creed to applaud the King ; and that the fez of the Turkish minister was conspicuous in the diplomatic box ITo speak of such things in detail—to tell on which side was the fairest face, and the brightest diamonds of Venice, or to name the Italian states man who attracted the largest share of attention, would mar the effect of the scene. I would rather that the curtain had fallen over my description whilst Victor Eunnanuel was bowing his acknow ledgment from the front of the royal box, and the ladies were waving their handkerchiefs, and the men were cheering themselves hoarse. This morning his Majesty visited some of the o utlying forts. The ships of war saluted him as he passed, and, despite a drizzling rain, hundreds of persons ran to the waterside to watch the pro gress of the royal gondola. Since rain has begun we hope that there will be a change of weather, and that the regatta on which the gondoliers of Venice have set their hearts will have a chance of success. THE QUEBEC Ping. —Mr. John M. Grant, the honorary secretary to the fund, received yesterday a tele. gram from Manchester, stating that the committee of that city have resolved to send out immediately one thousand p.ira of blankets for the use of the poor sufferers by the lire. These blankets, &c., will go forward by the next steamer, Messrs. Allan Brothers and Co. having under taken to forward them with the utmost despatch, and free from all charges. These blankets will be a most valuable help in relieving the bitter distress now existing in Quebec, and the committee hope to receive further similar contri butions. The subscriptions up to List evening, including I the donation of 1001. from his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, amount to about 13,4001. This sum is exclusive of the subscriptions now being raised or to be raised in Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow, meetings having been convened in the two last-named cities for this day. DR. DITOSH ON AMERICA.—The Rev. Professor 31`Cosh, of Queen's College, Belfast, whohas just returned from a four months' tour in America, has, in the course of a public lecture at Belfast, stated that wherever he went in the United States, in sermons, public addresses, and otherwise, he earnestly pressed the duty and importance of Christians in England and America cultivating a closer friendship. He had visited black schools in Washington, Virginia, and Baltimore, established since the war, and found that the negro children had made as much p in elementary learning as persons of the same age irt3rZs laud could have done in the same time. The Freedmen's Bureau schools had in July last 123,000 pupils, and the adult blacks were eager for instruction. He (Dr. M`Cosb) had urged the President to educate the negroes while they bare an appetite for it, lest they should fall into habits of profl~'gacy. The education of the United States was (un like the 'an) Christian, and was at the bottom of the pb comfort seen among the people. A New d of the better sort was (he said) one of the sights in the world to a philanthropist. The Kingston Morning Journal of Oct. 24 con tains the following : Those of oar English readers who know anything of Jemaioa affairs, of the morality of what is known as " the upper classes "—above all,of the administration of justices will not be surprised to learn that Gordon Ramsay, Wood row, and two persons of the name of Codrington, the first charged with the murder of one George Marshall, and the others with having unable:dully Rugged several innocent ms esti women, have all escaped Judie°, but some sic prise will no doubt be felt when it is imams that the grand jury, in the teeth of the judge's charge, ignored the several bills of indictment. The court was held before the Hon. Mr. Ker. The Attorney-General was present. The grand jury was composed entirely of planters and the over seers and bookkeepers of planters, all of whom it is well known had for some time stood pledged to Ramsay to acquit him. The learned judge oertainly discharged his duty faithfully. His charge to the jury was an elabo rate and faithful exposition of the circumstances of the case and of the law bearing upon it. "The question for your consideration," said he, in concluding his charge, " will be, has the crown, upon the evidence which will be laid before you, established such a prima facie case against the defendant as to render it proper that this case should be remitted for the fuller inquiry which it must necessarily receive at the hands of a petty jury? Upon this subject I owe it to the administration of justice to remark that you ought not to have a doubt. If these witnesses speak the truth, they hate told a tale which no system of criminal jurisprudence but is under a positive obligation to investigate. I need scarcely observe that by finding a true bill, you do not pronouuco the de fendant guilty, but merely call upon him to say what he has to urge by way of defence or explanation." The grand jury retired, and in less than a quarter of an hour they ignored the four bills respectively against Ramsay, Chris topher and James Codrington, and James Woodrow. The Attorney-General informed the court that no fur ther proceedings would be adopted against the prisoners; whereupon, by order of the court, they were all dis charged. THE ATRATO. Yellow fever broke out on board the Atrato just prior to her departure for England. The case re- ceivol prompt attention from the surgeon of the ship, but it was deemed advisable to send the patient ashore to the hospital. After sailing from St. Thomas the disease broke out again with great severity, and during the passage 35 cases occurred, 14 of which proved fatal. The last case of attack was on the 11th. Dr. Wiblin, superintendent of quarantine, visited the Atrato, and has ordered the ship and passengers to remain in quarantine until such time as he could ascertain the opinion of the Privy Council on the matter, but allowed the mails, ship's papers, and despatches to be brought ashore, after pmcesa of fumigation. In the course of last night it was announced that the Privy • Council had ordered the Atrato to proceed this i (Tuesday) morning to the Mother Bank, there to perform quarantine, no person to leave the ship. Permission has been granted for the specie to be landed at once. If no fresh case of yellow fever occurs, the Atrato, it is expected, will remain at the Mother Bank about three days. The fever has been confined entirely amongst the ship's people, and excepting Mr. Morrish, purser, and Dr. White, surgeon of the ship, has been confined to the sea , men, firemen, stokers, and servants. The follow ing is a list of the cases which proved fatal : 'James Smith, barman, Henry Adlam, baker's prentice ; Walter Cook, ordinary seaman ; Joseph Day, fireman ••Henry Odell, ordinary seaman ; John Jones, ordinary seaman ; Louis Boundain, waiter ; James Cummings, C.T. ; John Cook, IA.B. ; A. Lappiere, waiter ; Richard Paice, tire !. man ; George Knott, yeoman ; Edmund Compton, ordinary seaman ; and A. Biddlecombe, engineer's servant. No case occurred amongst the ship's pas sengers. The Right Hon. Russell Gurney, M.P. and Recorder of London, attended yesterday at the Hartley Institution to distribute the prizes and certificates, which had been awarded to the successful candidates in the late Oxford and Cambridge Local Examination held at South ampton, and delivered an address on the subject of middle class education. The Bishop of London and Mrs. Tait arrived in town on Thursday. His lordship bore the journey better than might have been anticipated, and leaves on Monday i (yesterday) for Hastings. It s generally believed that the bishop will not attempt the fatigue of a visitation charge, though he is much better.—John Balt. The Rev. John Purchaa, Perpetual Curate of St. James's, Brighton, one of the leaders of the ritualistic movement, and a gentleman who some half-dozen years ago wrote • book upon vestments, has issued an address to his congregation, in which he announces that the time has come for him to " make a concession." The concession is to take the form of an abandonment of " euchar.stic vest ments, and the use of the censer," Mr. Purchas being of opinion, as he announces in his address, that " Charity is greater than Rubrics." It grieves him—so he assures his friends—to have been the cause of angry feelings in his parish, and he now " sacrifices his strong personal predi lections on the altar of Charity." A will case, in which Cardinal Cullen appeared as defendant, was settled in the Dublin Court of Probate on Saturday by • compromise, which Judge Keatinge termed a " blind con.ent," inasmuch as the terms of the arrangement did not transpire. A maiden lady, some 50 years of age when she died, named Keily, who had lived in the neighbourhood of • convent of Trappist monks at Mount Melleray, in the county of Waterford , made a will , leaving all her property to the cardinal. This will the next of kin had disputed, alleging deficiency of testamen tary capacity and undue influence by the monks, to whose benefit, they added, Cardinal Cullen was bound to apply the moneys under a " secret trust," the object being to defeat the Relief Act of 1829. VV THE APPROACHING REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT EDINBURGH. — On Saturday evening a crowded meeting of trades representatives and delegates of large works was held in Buchanan's Temperance Hotel, to make the final arrangements with regard to the order of procession at the reform demonstration to take place on Saturday next, and the speakers at the various platforms in the Queen's Park, and at the evening meeting in the Corn Exchange. Mr. Troup, tailor, occupied the chair. Before the places to be occupied by the trades in the procession from Bruntsfield Links to the Queen's Park were balloted for, Mr. A. Fraser, blacksmith, said he regretted to announce that a letter had that day been received from Mr. John Bright, 31. P., stating that he could not, on account of the state of his health, take part in the forthcoming demon stration in favour of parliamentary reform. He had been obliged unwillingly to decline similar invitations from many other parts of the country, finding It di ffi cult to fulfil engagements into which he had already entered. I He, however, heartily approved of the movement, and wished it every success. It was agreed that, as had been done at the reform demonstrations in 1831 and 1832, the different branches of the trades whose places had now been assigned them should arrange among themselves as to the order in which they should march in procession. The committee were authorised to issue invitations to the fol lowing gentlemen, requesting them to take _pert in the proceedings at the evening meeting : Mr. Duncan M'Laren, M.P. ; Mr. James Moncreiff, M.P. ; Mr. A. M. Dunlop, 111. P ; Mr. Baxter, M.P. ; Mr. Graham, M.P. ; Mr. George Young, ex-Solicitor-General ; Mr. Miller, of Leithen, and others whom they might deem proper. In commemoration of the demonstration a medal has been struck, bearing on the obverse a faithful likeness in relief of Mr. Bright, M.P., and on the reverse, encircled by a wreath in which the rose, thistle, and shamrock are inter twined, is the following Inscription:—" Friends of Reform, be witted." Bersaby Budge, one of the earliest, the most powerful. sad the most artistic novels of our peat living master of fiction, has found two new adapters in the persons of Messrs. Watts Phillips and George Vining, and the result of their joint labours was produced last night at the Prin cess's Theatre, ostensibly to introduce a new actress, Mrs. John Wood, to a London audience. Ma Wood, we be lieve, is English by birth, and formerly performed with MOM success in the provinces, but her professional training has been chiefly acquired in America. Her sating through out is pitched in a key of broad, violent fares, that makes up by noise and "practical business" of the most outrageous kind for what it wants in sterling unforced humour. It reminded us, not very favourably, of a number of " Yankee gals" that we have seen on the London stage during the last twelve years. The characters who come in immediate contact with Mrs. Wood mostly seem to take their tone from her, and the result is, that tares-foorths of the play are terribly over-acted. Out of the regions of pantomime or Surrey-side terse we have rarely seen so much noisy tom-foolery crowded within the ewe of a single drams, and we are not surprised that the audience, after a long period of patient endurance. resented such insults to their limited understandings. We are also not surprised that Mr. George Vining came for ward and made a speech, in which he imputed the hisses to a hireling few, and by so doing raised a discussion, and saved the piece and the new actress from utter and imme diate damnation. Mr. George Vining is a very cleve r manager. If he can make Mr. Calhaem act Simon Tap pertit as well as he looks the character, reduce the solemnity of Mr. Forrester as Mr. Haredale, put a little more force into Mr. Shore as Mr. Chester, make Miss Augusta Thomson look a little more like Dolly Varden, take some of the sepulchral element out of Mr. Villiers, who represents the murderer Budge, make old John Willet's representative more distinct, and after pat. ling Mr. Reisman on the back for playing the gipey Hugh will make the story a little clearer to those who have not read or who have forgotten the novel, he will be a cleverer manager dill. When the serious characters talk a little less about blood, and the comic characters indulge less in " spill and pelt" scenes, the play will be quite good enough for the poor, patient, foolish public. CODIFICATION OF THE LAW. The first sessional meeting of the Society for Promoting the Amendment of the Law, which is now united with the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, was held last evening in the hall of the Society of Arts, Adelphi. In the absence of Lord Brougham, the chair was taken by the Hon. G. DENNAN, Q.C., M.P.; and among the gentlemen presenterere the Right Hon. R. Lowe, M.P., Sir J. E. Wilmot, Bark, Sir G. Young, Bart., Mr. Serjeant Burke, Mr. Serjeant Robin son, Dr. T. Tints, Q.C., Mr. Daniel, Q.C., Mr. Mac queen, Q.C., Mr. Grieves, Q.C., Mr. T. Webster, Q.C., Mr. J. Williams, Q.C. Dr. Waddilove, Dr. Edgar, Mr. G. W. Hastings, Mr. Reilly. Mr. A. J. Wood, Mr. C. Clark, Mr. F. Hill, Mr. E. W. Cox, Mr. Waley, Mr. Rew, Mr. E. Webster, Mr. V. Williams, Mr. Amos, Mr. J. Sharpe, LLD., Mr. J. Hodgkin, Mr. A. Symonds, Mr. Hawes, Mr. R. Wilson, Mr. Cookson, Mr. E. Field, Dr. Pankhunt, and the Hon. Dudley Campbell. The Cummins, in opening the proceedings, made a few observations upon the interest and importance of the question which they were met to consider, end announced that letters had been received from Mr. Justice Wiles and Vice-('hancellor Page Wood, expressing their regret that they were unable to be present. He then called upon Mr. Dudley Field, one of the commissioners for the codi fication of the laws of the state of New York, to read an address describing the method in which that codification had been carried out. Mr. Flew), who was warmly received, read an able and interesting paper. Sir E. Wuxor proposed, and Mr. C. CLARKE seconded a cordial vote of thanks to the lecturer, bearing hearty testimony to the importance of the work which had been performed by Mr. Yield and his colleagues, and to the clearness and modesty with which that gentleman had nar ratedthe progress anddescribed the resultof their labours. A somewhat prolonged discussion then took place upon the subject of the paper, in which several ned gentle men took part. Mr. Greaves, Q,C., spoke particularly to the completeness of the criminal code prepared by the New York oormuiseioners ; and Mr. Webster, Q.C., described the civil code as such a compendium of the common law of this country as had never existed before. After some remarks from Dr. Pankhurst and Mr. J. Hodg kin, Mr. Reilly expressed a doubt whether it would be possible to induce the English parliament to give to any commissioners powers so large as those that were entrusted to Mr. Field and his coadjutors, and indicated some reasons why it must be desirable to proceed by way of a digest rather than of a code. Mr. Lowe, M.P., said that the late Mr. Justice Malik used to say that there were two objections to having a code-one, that no one in the world could make a code , and another, that a great many people thought they could. (A laugh.) Mr. Fielt and his colleagues had afforded an answer to both these objections. (Hear, hear.) He himself had had three experiences of codification ; one in the case of the Limited Liability Act, a measure eon twining 110 clauses, which passel both hoagies of parliament without a single hostile amendment; another in regard to the revised code issued by the de , pertinent of education, which was at least a quasi code, in ' which by re-arrangement the adoption of definitions and other measures which suggested themselves to persons en gaged in codification, it was found possible to reduce the regulations from 2.10 clauses to 130 ; and the third, which was still going on in his character of one of the commis sioners to whom had been entrusted the task of preparing a code of laws for India. In this work they had made some progress. Codes of civil and criminal procedure haal;alreaJy been introduced, and had both worked well, and they were now applying themselves to make a code of law. They had prepared laws relating to succession in cases both of testacy and intestacy, and regulating all the principal mat ters of contract ; and were now proceeding to deal with the law relating to bills of exchange. In their work they had been much assisted by the result of the labours of the New York commissioners, and on his own behalf, and what was more important, on that of his colleagues, he tendered their thanks to Mr. Field and his coadjutors. The question whether we could have a code in this country could not be solved by a priori reasoning, but only by trying the experi ment, and whatever the experiment cost it was well worth trying. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DANIEL, Q.C., said that the way to obtain a code had been made clear, and all that was now required was the will. The vote of thanks to Mr. Field was carried by accla mation, and suitably acknowledged by that gentleman ; and the proceedings terminated with a similar compliment to the council of the Society of Arts fur allowing the use of the hall. LIFE-SAVING EAFTS. —A considerable number of persons assembled yesterday at the bridge over the Serpen tine to see some experiments made with a machine which purports to be a life-saving raft, and which is the inven tion of an American merchant captain. Amongst those present were Lord Ranelagh, Colonel Brownlow Knox, Mr. Page, the eminent engineer, Sc. The machine con sists of a light wooden frame, with flexible hinges, and which can be easily stowed away when not required for use. The frame is supported when in the water by pen. tonn-ehaped bags or cylinders of indiarubber, and which can easily and speedily be inflated. The bags, when thus filled with air, act as tighteners to the wooden frame, and, all together, form a raft which can, according to size, sustain fifty, or even a hundred persons. The raft I was prepared yesterday, including the inflation of the pontoons, in five or six minutes, and then shot into the water from the balustrade of the bridge. It righted it-elf at once, and about forty-five persona having got upon it, floated about in the water without very sensibly increas ing its immersion. The genera al pinion ehe t xpressed was that the raft would be a greataddition to means of saving life in such terrible cases as the recent ono of the Evening Star, and that the price at which it could be con structed would enable ships of any considerable size to be furnished with it. We were informed that the raft has already been extensively adopted in the American mer chant service, and that its usefulness is held in high esti mation on the other side of the Atlantic. The inventor, Mr. E. S. Perry, claims for his raft the advantages of cheapness and simplicity in construction. compactness when packed, and greater adaptability than lifeboat' for sea-going steamers, as not being liable to be either stove in, or swamped, or capsized at those critical periods when its services would be called into requisition.

Far the especial benefit of the exhibitors, an Art and In dustrial Union was instituted, and by this and other faci lities afforded for the disposal of goods belonging to exhi bitors, upwards of 3001. worth hal been sold. Besides these advantages, the exhibitors had been admitted free at all times to the Exhibition and eotertainmente, and each would be presented with a handsome framed picture when the prizes were distributed in January next. The ceremony last evening commenced by the perform ance on the large organ of a triumphal march, composed for the oecasion by Mr. C. F. Davies. The choir of the Tonic Sol-fa Association sang the Old Hundredth Psalm, when the members of the council and the special guests of the evening came upon the platform. Lord JOHN MAN. roma, M.P., was the chairman. Mr. George Cruikahank was also upon the platform. The report of the adjudicators (of whom Mr. P. Le Neve Foster was chairman) was then read. se pe t The rf to oni mu:ic to u b lah y 1/Ert:hp:nreikopt,tiliewithyLeedhoie: John Plummer, and stherg2ll,ftiwo:s. then soloists were Mr. Chaplin Henry • the accompanist, Mr. W. Laurence Tomlin' ; and the co nductor,i Mr. J. Proud man. The choir was composed of 1,000 singers. Lord JOHN MANNEM said when he received the invitation to preside over the meeting, he thought the honour might have been due to some fanciful relation the managing com mittee saw between the Public Works over which be bad the honour to preside and the works exhibited in the Agricultural-hall during the past ten weeks. A little further reflection convinced him that that connexion was not after all so unreal or fanciful as at first it might appear, but that there was a real and substantial relation existing between his office and the present destinatiiu and occupation of the building in which the exhibition had been held. A few years ago all the coarser operations of construction were necessarily confided to English and Irish hands, but when a question of the finer decorative art.' moth, in many quarters it was thought that recourse must be had to foreign brains and fingers. Indeed it might be said that the British skilled or art workman might date Lis history from the days of Pugin, of Barry, and the new palaces at Westminster. And how great had been the progress in the decorative and constructive sots since then ! One proof of advance was the proposal recently made to the royal contruission that a class of British art workmen should be associated with the Royal Academy, and that medals and other tokens of approbation should be eon ferred upon them. Reform mid progress in these matters marched but slowly, but he could not help feeling de lighted at the prizes the council had been enabled to bestow. To any one occupying his public position the success of an exhibition of this kind could not be but of the deepest interest ; and any man who had 'noised through the ball, noticing the numerous proofs of creative fancy, imitative skill, mechanical ingenuity, fidelity to n respect for truth, and defereuce to good senae, tu M taste, must he convinced bow real and close was the relation binding him who presided over public works. royal palaces, parks, and gardens, with the occupation and destination of the hall on the present occasion. In referring to fidelity of nature he remembered many years ago being so struck with the beauty and ',affection of the sculptures adorning the new ball of the University of Dub lin that he made inquiries respecting them, and was told that the Irish workmen, instead of having placed in their hands the usual inanimate designs, were directed to work from real flowers and leaves. His predecessor in aloe (the Hon. W. Cowper) thought it well last year, instead of permitttng the customary destruction of countless plants at the end of the autumn in the parks and gardens under his charge, to distribute the plants among such of the working classes as came to ask for them. (Cheers.) A great • and gratifying demand was the result, and he believed something like 20,000 plants were applied for and obtained by members of the working dam.. (Cheers.) He (Lord J. Manners) bad felt the utmost pleasure in follow- Ins his predecessor'sexample,andthis year the demand for plants had risen to 50,000, and that number bad just been distributed from the various ro yal parks and publics Eardrum to the working classes of t he metrupolia. (Cheers.) It wouldinterest many perhaps to know that 16,000 of these bad gone in the vicinities of Greenwich and Victoria parks. It was pleasing to think that hereafter many a working man might find his model of beauty in the plants so distributed. The superior activity of the French soldiers, as compared with other European armies, was often spoken of ; and be had heard suck a cleyairteristie attributed by competent judges to the habit the French soldier cultivated in time of peace of employing his brains and fingers in peaceful avocations. In a similar manner the great army of Briti-h workmen would find their skill, ingenuity, and ability wonderfully increased by employing their winter evenings and other leisure moments in extraneous labours of has like those now to be seen on every side. Direct, then, must be the advantages obtained by the Britiah workman from indus trial exhibitions ; but apart from that there was also an ih e cire n cre cou le: g d T e h m te c e s a n t u t ee St for ess le e n o e f tn fu tli t t u e h re e p , re d fo o rTn w ea s h t i e i l ili h h il r h ere tio rA n xi g nna o rd i e th m 7a thl : judicators showed that perfection hail notyet been attained, there was sufficient to afford encouragement to all who had the movement at heart. lie saw in this exhibition, too, one tie more between the various classes of our metropo litan community. The exhibition had been witnessed with delight by men and women of all ranks, end there was in that fact one link more in the golden chain which should bind all classes of the great English coniniunity ; and in these days, when so much was said and written to disintegrate society, let all take heart and hope from witnessing the triumphal success of this great industrial festival. ((liters.) Great, then, as were the direct benefits resulting from it, cowl derable as bad been the pleasure and amusement which had been produced, they might hope that the o th erwise lead ceremony of closing would not be without its use, if they carried away thoughts, aspirations, and intentions of mutual forbearance, brotherly kindness, and enlarged charity, to cheer the hearth and warm the hearts during the mows of Christmas, and to bloom into Christian hil tless beneath the suns of Easter and the tires of Pentecost. (Loud cheer...) The noble lord then formally declared the exhibition closed. A prayer having been offered, hearty votes of thanks were passed to Lord John Manners for ilia attendance ; to Mr. John Plummer for writing the ode; and to Mr. Watts, the secretary, for the Lard work end ready tact to which the success of the whole exhibition was so largely owing. A selection of songs and glees, terminating with the National Anthem, closed the proceedings. A pastoral letter from Cardinal Cullen, received by the clergy of his diocese on Sunday, refers to the sites. tion of the Pontiff and to the educ..tion question in Ire !med. The revolutionary enemies of the Pope Dr. Cullen speaks of as persons bearing the name of liberty on their lips, but endeavouring " to uproot religion and establish military despotism which would destroy every liberal in. stitution yet remaining in I•'mope, oppress the people with toes, absorb all the energies of civilised nations, and flood the world with a thousand other evils." The see of Peter is (the Cardinal adds) a " rock that shall remain un moved until the end of time." With reference to eduos tion, he holds that the vei y language used by wine of the graduates of the Queen's University at the late meeting of convocation displays hostility to religion, and must make I all true friends of the faith tally round the Catholic Uni versity, which has "a right to a charter from the govern ' went." Catholics also " justly demand that this institu tion, so long supported by their unaided efforts, should receive a meet endowment from the public resources of the kingdom." "We should not cease," Cardinal Cullen continues, " to urge this measure on the legislature, and we may rest assured that the intolerant bigotry and igno rance which have hitherto opposed our claims must very soon yield before the justness of our demands."
