The North German Gazette of to-day publishes the address, signed by 421 German residents in Denmark, declaring all guarantees for the security of their national rights in North Schleswig super fluous. Commenting thereupon, the Gazette points out that the signitaries have stated their occupations in Danish. Hungarians and one police agent are among the number, and these, the Gazette thinks, cannot be considered as representatives of the German civilisation and language. The same paper quotes an extract from an article against tho Ger mans, published in Copenhagen, and says : " Every man of honour will admit that in pre sence of such outbursts of fanaticism, the Prussian government would be guilty of the gravest dere liction from duty if it did not demand the most serious guarantees for the protection of Germans." It is semi-officially announced that no deficit in the budget at present exists, and that the financial administration does not consider a deficit need be apprehended. The government has no intention of increasing the burden of taxation. The day for the elections to the new parliament is not yet fixed, but is expected to be about the end of August. Alaen and Sundewitt are to be grouped with the electoral district and sown of Hadersleben, and Apenrade is in future to be included with Flensburg. The other electoral districts remain unaltered. The ,Taalsanzeiger of to-day publishes a decree, considerably reducing the fees payable to Prussian consuls in all European countries. THE CRETAN INSURRECTION. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 9. The following official news, dated Sphakia, July 6, has been received from Omer Pacha : " Nearly all the districts have submitted to the Turkish troops, and the insurgents have given up their arms On the sth inst. the imperial troops were disembarked at Castelimner), and to-day they routed the insurgents, occupied several villages, and put the rebels to flight. In the pursuit the soldiers occupied the highest mountains of Sphakia. Everywhere the insurgents are dis persed, and one body having taken refuge in the caverns of the mountains are closely invested by the imperial troops, who to-night will signal their presence and success by sending up rockets from the tops of the mountains. The disarmament of nearly all the districts has been effected under most favourable auspices and most successfully, more than 5,000 rifles having been forwarded to the authorities." The officer who arrived here with the report from Omer Pacha reported that the junction of the sea and land forces in Sphakia was expected to take place on the 7th inst. ITALY. FLORENCE, JOLT 10. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Signor Rattazzi stated his views relative to the Ecclesiastical Properties Bill. He said that the government coincides with the recommendations of the committee for the complete execution of the law of 1866, and accepts the suggested method for alienation of the property, but will propose waxli fications rendering it more beneficial to the Trea sury. The government could not accept 400 millions of lire as the sum to be raised, 600 millions being necessary to include the abolition of the forced currency, and new taxes being also necessary to satisfy Europe that they are resolved to meet their obligations. The present time was inoppor tune for granting unrestricted liberty to the Church. Full liberty will be granted to the Church when she recognises the full liberty of the State. Signor Rattazzi considered the present episcopate more than sufficient, but could not accept the proposal of the committee, that no new bishop shall be appointed until the number of the episco cate shall have been reduced, as the nomination of bishops is a prerogative of the crown.

PARIA CHORAL COMPITMON. —A member of the choir of the Tonic Hol-fa Association (the only English choir which entered fur this musical contest), writing from Paris on Tuesday, thus describes the proceedings of Monday last: "We went from Cook's Hotel about one o'clock, and having arrived at the Exhibition paraded round the Intermtional Theatre, in which building the competition was to take plasm, we (to have all honour done us) being placed in the centre of their oldest and best choir, preceded by a banner. Thus we were exhibited to shout 70,000 people. After some delay M. Laurent de Rille came, all bowing and politeness. We were kept for a time waiting about, and I got into conversation with some French competitors. They became very much inter gated in us, principally bemuse we had hullos amongst us. We were ' tres juli,' they said, and lo plus belle.' The competition was a long and tedious affair—eight choirs, each having two very long pieces. We came on last, when it was nearly seven o'clock in the even ing, we having had nothing since breakfast ; ne vertheless, when the curtain was drawn up and we were seen standing all ready, the effect was electrical. The thunders of applause inspirited us all, and when we struck up, ' Rise, sleep no more,' nothing can express the enthusiastic appearance of the audience ; we were encored most rapturously, called back six or seven times, and had to sing ' Portant pour la Byrie ' and our own N►tional Anthem. After the singing we were literally besieged for the little papers containing a description of the method, and all the choirs waited at the door to receive and thank us as we left." The reception of our countrymen, allowing for French politeness and their own excite ment, seems to have been very enthusiastic. It remains to be seen what place they have taken in the competition. Quavorroww, JULY 10.—The National Steam Navigation Company's steamship Queen, from New York, arrived off this port at 8 p.m. After landing passengers she proceeded for Liverpool; all well, The Prince of Wales inaugurated the London College of the International Education Society, at Spring grove, yesterday. The idea of establishing so novel and desirable an institution originated somewhere about the year 1861 in France, and it at once received the support of such men as Mr. Cobden, the Prince Consort, anti M. Chevalier. The proposition was started to found an In ternational College that should comprise four establish ments—one in England, one in France, one in Germany, and one in Italy. Each establishment was to have a uni form programme of study, and the pupils were to be sent from one college to another at different periods of their • eight years' course of study. Certain arrangements have been made in pursuance of this proposition by which pupils can be sent to Bonn and Paris ; and the ceremony of yesterday may be regarded as the first fruit of the seed sown by men, the most eminent of whom have not lived to see the harvest. Henceforth passengers along the loop-line of the South Westeni Railway may see a handsome building, on a prominent site, devoted to a free and broad system of education, on principles which the promoters hope t will tend to the softening down of many asperities between ' the inhabitants of different countries, and the removal of those national prejudices which still linger. The advan tages offered are very tempting. Parents and guar dians there are offered a residence within eight mile/ of Hyde-park-corner, upon an open healthy space, and a new villa-colony, wooded, watered, and within sight of some charming scenery ; a cheap and complete education, com prising, in addition to the natal subjects, a prominent attention to modern languages and the natural sciences, and perfect freedom as regards religious teaching ; and a head master (Dr. Leonard Schmitz) of so high a reputation as an historian, philologist, and schoolmaster that the late Prince Consort entrusted to him a portion of the education of his two eldest sons. To scholars themselves the assur ance is held out that it is intended not to resort to cor poral punishment, and fagging in any form will not be permitted. The college is governed by a board of direc tors, of whom the chairman is Mr. A. W. Poulton, a friend of Mr. Cobden's, and one of the earliest workers in the Anti-Corn Law League movement. The society is estab lished on limited liability principles. The building is in the style of the 13th century, and although it is not yet finished, it gives a full idea of the handsome structure it will be in a short time. The main work is of yellow brick with red bands and patterns and Bath stone dressings for the windows and doors. The chief entrance is in the centre, under a lofty tower, ornamented with delicate parapets and pinnacles. The portion completed has already cost 15,000/. The names of Homer, Aristotle, Dante, and Cicero, are chiselled in medallions along the front, and in the entrance hall the names of more modern teaches—Arnold, Aseham, Locke, Buchanan, Alguin, and Smith are painted. The interior impresses one with the snugness and neatness of a home far more than buildings dubbed college or school generally do, and even the stone staircases and other substantial portions of the house produce none of the cheerless effects often felt when the woodwork is superseded by something more solid. The place is prettily decorated throughout, both by chisel and pencil. There are 80 boys at present, but there is accommodation for 150. The spacious college grounds were arrayed in holiday oostumes of garland and flag ; the boundary wall was marked by festoons of evergreens along the entire length ; and a triumphal arch of boughs and flowers was placed over the gateway. These festive tokens of the expected presence of royalty, and the fine weather, attracted from London, from Isleworth, and other neighbouring places crowds of all classes of persons, some of whom, being unprovided with the requisite tickets, had to view the proceedings from a distance. The application for tickets from ladies and gentlemen interested in the undertaking were very numerous, but the secretary ( Mr. Tremayne),with rare wisdom, issued only as many ticket, as could be used, and for once an inaugural ceremony was completed without hustling or complaint. The Prince of Wales, who had driven down in an open carriage with Sir W. KnoUys and Captain Ellis, arrived about 1 o'clock, and as he passed under the archway the royal standard was run up, and the band struck up Brinley Richards' popular "God bless the Prince of Wales." The chairman and directors, with Dr. Schmitz, met the Prince, and conducted him over the building, the architect, contractors, and chief visitors following in a rough and re►dy procession. At the conclusion of the inspection the Prince went to the lawn in front of the college and planted a Wellingtouia gigantea in commemoration of the occasion ; after which the com pany filled the dining-hall, and partook of • dOjeuner, a military band playing outside. Mr. PAULTOM presided at the luncheon, and upon the list of guests present were given the names of the Comte de Paris, Prince de Joinville, Duo d'Aumale, M. Van de Weyer, Sir F. Pollock, Earl Minto, Earl of C►ithness, Professor Huxley, Lord Houghton, Earl Ducie, Mr. Grant Duff, M.P., Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. Hughes, M.P., and Lord Ronald Gower, M.P. Only two or three toasts were drunk, the first as a matter of course being " The Queen." Then followed " The Health of the Prince of Wales," in giving which the c.hvirman briefly reviewed the history and poin'ed out the objects of the college, and noticed the part which his friend Mr. Cobden took in promoting it. Although the toast referred only to the Prince of Wales, the chairman, before concluding, congratulated him, in the name of the society, that the health of the Princess had so much improved of late—a congratulation which the company enthusiastically ratified. The Prince of WkLES, in reply, said—l have to tender you my warmest thanks for the very kind manner in which my health has been proposed and received. I need hardly asylum you it has been a source of great gratification to me to attend here to-day,and, at Dr. Schmitz's request, to inaugurate this International College. So much has already been ably said by the chairman about this col lege end its objects, that but few words are left me to add to the subject. I sincerely trust that this fine day and the large gathering of people I see here, evincing the interest they take in the success of the institution, may prove a good omen of its future prosperity. I have been all over the building, and, from what I have seen, it is impossible to be more satisfied, either with the excellent and healthy site of the college, the admirable manner in which it has been built, or the accommodation which has been provided for the pupils. Although there are at the present moment, I believe, but 80 scholars, I can have no doubt that when the wings are built the numbers will be speedily doubled, and perhaps even trebled. (Cheers.) That this institution, being an inter national one, possesses peculiar interest we can not forget ; and an additionally gratifying feature is, that this is not the only college of the kind, for there are two sister colleges abroad —one, I believe, in Germany, near Bonn. and another in France, in the neighbourhood of Paris. (Cheers.) In this way the most &dearth'e arrangements will be mode, in order that the scholars, after leaving this college, may be sent to the other colleges abroad to complete their education, and perfect themselves in the German and French languages. I do not much like, in such a company as this, to allude to the subject of the dead and modern tongues, because that is a question about which there if much controversy at the present moment. This, however, I am inclieed to say, that from the very easy access we have in travel. ling to various countries, it is most important that the modern languages should be one of the principal subjects of eduction in this country. No one thought more strongly on this subject than my late lamented father, and one whose name is celebrated throughout F.ngland, and who was a personal friend of our chairman's—l mean Mr. Cobden. (Loud cheers.) Far be it from me to say that the dead languages should not be taught. Latin and Greek form the basis of ninny of our modern languages, and should not be omitted ; but such languages as French, German, and even Italian, ought. I think, to be known as thoroughly as possible. I myself, having travelled a great deal abroad, can testify that un less I had possessed a tolerable knowledge of French and German, I should have found my stay in distant coun tries far leas agreeable than was actually the case. I thank you for the very kind way in which you have heard me, and I sincerely trust that this college will prosper in every way. (Cheers.) Before sitting down I beg to propose a tout which I am sure will be received with enthusiasm—it is "Success to the London College of the International Education Society ;" and I have great pleasure in coupling with that toast the name of my friend Dr. Schmitt, whose acquaintance I have had the benefit of THE FLEET AT SPITHEAD. (non one owls COIIII3PONDZIfT.) PORTSMOUTH, JULY 10. The grand rehearsal preparatory to the review of the British fleet by the Queen and Sultan took place to-day, and it was an event that can only be surpassed in interest by the demonstration which is to take place on • the 17th inst. Admiral Sir Thomas Purley, Bart., trans ferred his flag from the Victory, the grand and ever interesting relic of Trafalgar, to the Victoria screw three- . decker on Monday, and signal was made yesterday for the whole of the fleet to prepare to get under weigh this morning. There has been no great naval demonstration in British waters beyond the celebration of the entente oureliale between the fleets of England and France--sines 1856, and then it was, as upon this occasion, a demon stration with which the history and interests of the "Ottosega Porte were closely identified. At that time • treaty of peace was concluded with Russia which had for its object the maintenance of the integrity of the Turkish empire, and the ships of the British navy were at that time fully equipped for the continuation of a struggle in which the fleet bad, by its moral influence, if not by the reality of actual war fare, played an impatient part. In point of numbers there is no comparison between the fleet of 11136 and the fleet which has assembled at Spithead in a timeof profound peace, so far as England is concerned, to do honour to the Sultan. The imposing array of force at Spithead eleven years ago included 22 line-of-battle ships carrying from 131 to 60 guns ; 16 screw frigates and ;loops, of from 51 to 8 guns ; 26 paddle frigates, of from 28 gunsto one gun ; nine royal yachts and tenders, seven screw mortar vessels and tenders, lax screw troop-ships, seven sailing ships, and no lean then 160 gunboats. This tre mendous force was moored in two principal lines, the port division being headed by the Duke of Wellington, 1:11 guns, screw three-decker, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Dundee ; and the star board division by the Royal George, 162 guns, the paddle frigate Retribution being the flagship of this division, which was under the command of Rear-Admiral Baynes. Then there were three divisions of gunboats, the red being under the command of Captain Codrington, C. 8., in the Algiers ; the white under the command of Captain Keppel, C.S. (now commander-in-chief of the China fleet) ; the blue, under the command of Captain Yelverton, in the Brunswick ; and the light division under the command of Captain Key, in the Sansparell. In numerical strength the fleet of to-day is scarcely more than a fifth of the fleet of 1856 ; but with respect both to the power of offence as well as of defence, • mightier force never assembled at Spithead than has now assembled to do honour to a patentor,' whose empire was threatened with extinction eleven years ago. In that comparatively short period science has done a great deal towards the development of the most powerful instru ments of warfare, and the fleet at Spithead is fairly representative of every class of fighting ships in the British navy. The result is certainly incon gruous, but it marks the changes which have taken place in the short period of time characterised by such rapid and apparently inconsistent transitions. The old schoolof naval architecture is now represented by the Victoria, the Dun can, and the Revenge, which in the course of a few years will only be known as things of the post; and yet to the eye of the lay, as well as of the professional observer, they seem to be the perfection of nautical beauty. Then we have the long dark lines of the Minotaur, the Warrior, and the Black l'rinoe, which are undoubtedly formidable ships of war, presenting a striking contrast with the un wieldy, immobile vessels that represent our early experi ments in the construction of ironclad ships, which to • considerable extent have sacrificed the power of quick menwuvre for great speed. Next come ships of the Belle rophon class, designed to combine these two qualities, and in which, so far at least as regards this par ticular vessel, the attempt has been successful. Another representative vessel is the Pallas, which has concentrated all her fighting power amidships, by enclosing her guns in a sort of iron box. And then we have the Royal Sovereign, the turret ship of Captain Cowper Coles, winch is so insignificant in appearance as scarcely to attract the attention of the spectator on the shore, but which has been the subject of as much official equivocation as any ship in the whole fleet. There she lays, or at least did lay at an early hour this morning, to the westward of thestarboard division, unimposing in appearance, but none the less powerful bec ause her heavy guns, and the great range given to them by the circular motion of her turrets, are hidden from view by the bulwarks, which are con structed to fall back over the broadsides of the vessel when she is in action. Then we have the little Viper and the little Vixen, two small vessels built with twin screw propellers, designed to turn by their own power as upon p pivot, and thus obtain the same advantages that ax obtained by the mechanical agency of the turret. And then there is that little oddity, the Waterwiteh, as unsightly a craft as ever nautical eyes gazed upon. Ms is propelled by hydraulic power, has a little insignificant funnel abaft the main mast, and, if she reminds us of anything created at all, it is of Mr. Bright's political skye-terrier, which is so curious a production that it is almost impossible to distinguish the head from the tail, or the stem from the stern. She him • prominent ram bow, and an equally prominent ram stern, and, but for the rake of her masts, it would be the easiest thing in the world to mistake the one for the other. There is no graceful sheer about her, and one has an un pleasant belief that • heavy tumbling sea over her fore quarter would send her to the bottom like a stone. Last of all come the wooden screw gunboats, and these do little more than remind us of a gigantic administrative folly. They are, for the most part, the remains of that host of gunboats which were built of green timber towards the close of the Russian war, sad which have been chiefly remarkable for being only lows rapid in the process of destruction by na twat decay than in the process of construction by over zealous contractor,. They are, for the most pert, now used astenders to guardships, and it is not very likely that they will ever be employed in any reorelacible occupa. lion. However, they form the most insignificant portion of the fleet, and it remains to be seen what important part they may be required to play in the presence of the Queen and the Sultan. The fleet at anchor this morning consisted of the Vic toria, 102 guns, bearing the deg of Admiral Sir Thorims Polley ; the Duncan ' 81, Captain G. Hancock ; the Do negal, 81, Captain E. N. Turnout ; the Revenge, 73, Cap tain G. Le G. Bowyer; the St. George, 72, Captain M. S. Nolloth ; the Royal George, 72, Captain T. Miller ; the Irreaistible, 00, Captain Bothnia ; and the Lion, 60, Cap tain J. M. Hayes. These were the wooden line-of-battle ships. The iron ships were repre sented by the Minotaur, 26, Captain J. G. Goodenough, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral F. Warden, C.B. ; the Achilles, 26, Captain K V. Vausittart ; the Warrior, 40, Captain J. Corbett; the Black Prince, 40, Captain C. Fellowes ; the Lord Clyde, 24, Captain Roderick Dew; the Bellerophon, 14, Captain R. J. J. G. Macdonald; the Path., 6, Captain M. Connolly ; the Valiant, 24, Com mander C. H. Stirling; the Prince Albert, 5, Captain the lion. Fitzgerald A. Foley ; the Wivern, 4, Captain Hugh but-goyim, V.C. ; the Viper, 2, Commander H. E. Crosier; the Vixen, 4 ; and the Waterwitch, Commander P. It. Sharpe. The wooden frigates and sloops are represented by the Kersey 40, Captain H. S. Hilly*: ; the Liffey, 3.1, Captain G. J. Napier; the Sutlej, 35, Captain T. P. Cuude ; the Dauntless, 31. Captain E. P. von Donop ; the Terrible, 19, Captain J. E. Commerell, V.C. ,• the Gla diator, 6, Captain It D'A. Aplin ; the Nympbe, 4, ' Commander Barnardiston ; the Daphne, 4, Commander G. L. Sulivan ; and a number of gunboat.. It was understood that the movements of the fleet to day were to be an exact counterpart of the programme to be observed on the day of the review, with this exception, viz., that on the present occasion no guns were to be fi red and there was to be nodisplay of cocked hats and epaulettes. The rehearsal, however, would perhaps be more correctly described if it were simply t,i be called a grand parade of the fleet, for there was no attempt to perform any com plicated evolutions. But the movementa of the ships were of the simplest and most intelligible character. There was HO enemy to attack or to resist, and the operations of this great force were something like those of the French army which "first marched up the bill and then marched down again." The ships were moored in two lines, the first division under the command of Admiral Sir Thomas Palley, con/gating of the Victoria, Irresistible, Done. gal, Revenge, St. George, Royal George, Duncan, Lion, Mersey, Liffey, tiutlej, and Dauntless, in the order named; while the starboard division was composed of the Minotaur (hearing the flag of Rear• Admiral Frederick Warden), the Achilles, Warrior, Black Prince, Bellero phon, Lord Clyde, Valiant, Pallas, Royal Sovereign, Prince Albert, Wivern, Research, Viper, Vixen, and Watery/itch. The Gladiator held a position on the star board bow of the outer line, while the Terrible held a corresponding position on the port bow of the in-shore line, these being the look-out vessels, while the Nymphs and the Daphne occupied positions near the centre of each line for the purpose of repeating the signals made from the flag-ship. Sir Thomas Palsy, accompanied by Admiral Sir Charles Talbot, arrived at Spithesd on board the Fire Queen steam vesael, Staff Commander Paul, about 10 o'clock, and he immediately prooseded ea board she Victoria.

ROYAL AGRICULTURE', SOCIETY.—The annual summer meeting of this society may be said to have com menced yesterday at Bury St. Edmund's, the implement trials having been begun. The implements for trial consist of steam-engines, fixed and portable ; threshing, finishing, and hand dressing machines; barley hommellers chaff cutters, mills, crushers, oilcake beakers, bone-mills, turnip cutters, lex. More than 700 truckloads of goods have been delivered by the Great Eastern Railway Com pany at a temporary platform and dockyard adjacent to the show-yard ; and it is worthy of note that the entries of implements exhibit a very large increase as compared with the last meeting of the society, which was held at Plymouth. Indeed, the long lines of sheds which have been erected would, if placed end to end. extend over a distance of nearly four miles. These sheds have been erected, it should be noted, by Mr. Peuny, of Taunton. The implement exhibitors comprise Messrs. Howard, of Bedford • Messrs. Ransomes and Sims, Ipswich ; Messrs. Wood* and Cocksedge, Stowniarlet ; Messrs. Garrett, Leiston ; Mr. Roby, Bury St. Edmund's ; Mr. C. Burrell, Thetford • Mmes. Whitmore and Sous, Wickham Market; Messrs. iurner, Ipswich ; Messrs.

P., endeavoured to secure the presence at the meeting of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, but the Prince was under the necessity of declining the invitation, in conse quence of other pressing engagements. REPREsENTATIoN or TUE UNIVERSITY Or LON DON.—A largely-attended meeting of the liberal graduates of the London University was held at Freemasons' Tavern on the 11th inst., at which it was unanimously resolved that in case of a conservative coming forward for the ex- pected seat, the liberal candidates should submit them selves to a preliminary ballot to prevent any possibility of a division of the liberal interest.. Local liberal committees are in process of formation throughout the country. Tile REPRESENTATION Or BIRMINGHAM.—Our Birmingham correspondent, writing yesterday, rye : " A feeling of profound sorrow has been prod uced here by the sudden death of Mr. Scholefield . t would be impossible for any man to gain more completely the esteem, and in a measure the iittections, of all classes of his constituents than did the late member; his high ' personal qualities charmed all who came into contact with him.

THE MANCHESTER BELOIAN REIT.PTION COM mrrrzr..—At a meeting of the committtee held yesterday it was resolved, " That the Manchester Belgian Reception Committee, being very anxious to carry out the wishes of the inhabitants of Manchester and Salford as exed at the public meeting held in the Tow n -h a ll, Man chester, on the 7th June, 184i7, desire to express the pleasure they will have in entertaining Belgian Volunteers, and would be glad to know bow many may be expected to visit Ilanchea ter and its neivhbourhood, and that it be an instruction to the Honorary Secretary to forward a copy of this reso lution to the Belgian committee." THE Itevonst LEAOCE.—The ordinary meeting of the executive council of the Reform League was held last night at the offices, No. 8, Adelphi-terrace ; Mr. Edmond Beales, the president, in the chair. Mr. G. Odger called attention to a report of the proceedings of the previous meeting which appeared in the riblia, and in which Mr. Lucraft was stated to have imputed trickery and political dishonesty to Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright. He believed no member of the council would desire to apply such terms to either of those gentlemen, and be hoped Mr. Lucraft would mike an explanation which would clear the council from the imputation of ingratitude, which was justified by the use of the expressions in question. Mr. Lucraft, in the course of some remarks, explained th.d be did not intend to apply the terms complained of to Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright. The chairman, Mr. Cooper, Mr. B. Langley, Colonel Dickson, Mr. Creir.er, and other members of the council repudiated sentiments antagonistic to Mr. Bright aoil Mr. Gladstone, nod to the Manchester reformers. Eventually a resolution harmonising with the feeling of the council on the subje ct, was proposed by Mr. Odger, and unanimously agreed to. The chairman said the Holborn branch of the League had intended to hold a meeting next Sunday in Trafalgar-square, but he had the greatest possible pleasure in stating that they had aban doned the idea in deference to the wish of the executive committee, expressed in a resolution muumil by that body on Monday last. The following resolution was adopted ; —"That the council sincerely congratulates the Trades Unionist Political Association and the northern depart ment of the Reform League in Manchester upon their having selected Mr. Ernest Jones as the most fitting man to represent the city of Manchester as its third member in the House of Commons, and trusts that every effort will be made to secure ',o a reformed parliament the services of so eminent a jotriot and true friend of the people." It was also proposed and agreed to "That the council of the Reform League expresses its deep regret that Birmingham reformers should have lost the able services of Mr. Sehole field, and expresses at the mane time the sincere hope that an advanced reformer, holding the ideas of the Reform League, may he selected in thereon of their late respected representative." Alumina IN WALES.—A dreadful murder was committed at Dowlida on Sunday morning, about one o'clock. the name of the victim being Saunders Henderson, 38 years of age, and that of the murderer Thomas Wat kin... aged 40. Both men were unmarried, and lodged at the house of an old woman named Murphy, whose husband, nearly 70 years of age, works as a watchman in the Dow. leis works. On Saturday night he was on duty. About eleven o'clock Henderson and Watkins came home and sat down to supper together. Mrs. Murphy then left the house, and when she returned, an hour afterwards, she found that Watkins had gone upstairs, leaving Hen derson apparently sleeping on a chair. She went into her own bedroom, which is on the ground floor, and got into bed. A few minutes afterwards she was followed by Hen. demon, who got into bed with her. him then cried out, I and cot up in the bed. While sitting in the bed she heard Watkins coming downstairs, and she jumped out of bed leaving Henderson there. She went towaids the kitchen, but was met at the door by Watkins, who knocked her senseless with a poker, and then advanced into the room. What he did there the old woman could not say, since the heanl neither voices nor blows ; but presently he canto out and went for a Mrs. Rees. This woman Cann'. and then Watkins said he thought he bail .lone for Hen derson. Upon that there was great excitement. Two or three persons went into the room and found Henderson lying in a great pool of blood, Quite dead, with blood still flowing from wounds in the head. The skull was fractured in two or three places. Mrs. Rees came out and said, " Thomas has killed the man," and Watkins then said, " he had caught the —at last." A policeman just then arrived on the scene, sod baying Peen that Henderson had been killed, took Watkins in custody on the charge of causing his death. On Monday Watkins was brought before the magistrates at Merthyr, and bean! with indifference the whole of the evidence against him. He denied that he struck Henderson with a poker.
