The semi-official North German Gazette of this evening confirms the news of the invitation of Belgium and Italy to the conference. The same journal publishes an article in which it again draws attention to the active continuance of mili tary preparations in France. It particularly points to the incessant manufacture of munitions which is going on at Belfort, and adds that at that fortress, as well as at Metz and Strasburg, large quantities of war material have been collected, including especially pontroon trains, by means of which a large number of bridges could be thrown over the Rhine. It also points out that the improvement of the exist ing fortifications, and the erection of new ones on the French eastern frontier, arebeinghastened, and says—" It 'will soon be seen whether the state ments of the Patrie are correct that these prepara tions had already been ordered before the publication of the note upon the subject in the Moniteur, and that their execution can only gradually be stopped." PARIS, MAT 6, EVENING. The Patric of this evening says " Three sittings will probably suffice for the conference to conclude its labours. An agreement has been established preliminarily and simultaneously upon the fundamental points and upon the manner of carrying them out. We believe even that the date for the evacuation of Luxemburg has been fixed." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, MAT 6, Eviarnro._ The ice on the Neva has again frozen over.

India, April 3. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1867. EXPRFSS FROM PARIS. (flOll 0111 OWN COIIIIIIIPOIIDANT.I PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Patel. says that although, as already sur inised,l the first sitting of the conference to assemble in London to-morrow will probably be devoted entirely to formal business, there is every likelihood that two meetings more will suffice to settle the whole business. All questions of prin ciple and even of detail, except in minor particulars, are said to be agreed upon beforehand, and, ac cording to the Pantie, the very day. on which Prussia is to evacuate Luxemburg is already fixed. Notwithstanding these sanguine expectations, which, I am bound to say, are not only echoed by most of the Paris papers, but prevail generally in the public mind, there are misgivings in some quarters. Three breakers ahead are especially pointed out as dangerous-1. The plebiscite which it is assumed France will demand for the people of Luxemburg--2. The repugnance of England to give a guarantee for the neutralisation of Luxem burg, which would amount to a calms belli with France in a very probable contingency—and 3. The continued armaments of France, which naturally excite suspicion at Berlin. Even if the influence of the mediating powers should suffice to get over these and other diffi culties for the moment, fears aro entertained that this maintenance of peace will not be ob tained on terms flattering to France, or on a basis of solidity offering security for the future. The Bourse by no means showed exuberant con fidence in the diplomatic work to be commenced to morrow in London. The Rente opened several centimes lower than on Saturday, and gradually dwindled downwards to the close, when it twits quoted at 68fr. for cash and 67fr. 80c. for account, with a fall of 60c. and 570. Mobilier fell 20fr. ; Credit Foncr, 17fr. 50c. ; Comptoir d'Escompte, 15fr.; and the Northern Railway, 121 r. 50c. Italian fell 70c., and was much depressed owing to the rumour that the adjournment of M. Ferrara's financial plans may possibly be the prelude to their withdrawal. _ The bureaux of the Corps Legislatif to-day re fused two demands to make " interpellations"— one relative to the construction of the fourth section or risme of French railways, and the other to the public works called for in the interest of agriculture. When the right of inte rpellation was given as a substitute for the address, it was alleged by the government organs that the compensation was more than sufficient because leave would never be refused in any case where a considerable num ber of members really wished for a discussion. To make the measure palatable leavo was given at the beginning of the session for MM. Thiers and Jules Fevre to have their thug so as to in augurate the new system with the credit of the new broom which sweeps clean. But it is abundantly evident that for ordinary working purposes the bureaux, in all of which the government has a majority, are simply obedient humble servants who will do as they are bid. Neither on political, financial, nor administrative questions will the government as a general rule allow independent deputies to take the initiative of a debate. - ----__. Mdlle. Rosa Bonheur writes to the papers an in dignant contradiction of the news that she had become insane. --- THE HYDE-PARK DEMONSTRATION. There was no obstruction to the Reform League demonstration in Hyde-park yesterday, and con sequently the whole passed off without distur bance. During the morning and afternoon the in- habitants of the suburbs of the metropolis were Bur. prised by burnouse van loads of policemen proceed ing in the direction of the west end ; the neigh . . bourhooda of the vestry-halls were edified by the preparations made for the swearing in of special constables ; and the young ladies in the vicinity of the chief barracks were blessed with the march past their windowsof several fresh troopsfrom Wir lior and elsewhere. Serious as must have been the prospect which daybreak presented to these gallant patriots, sunset brought them the mortifying re flection that their occupation was gone. The spe cial constables particularly deserve the sympathies of an appreciative public. Extensive prepara tions were made for the enthusiastic crowds of middle-class patriots who were expected to besiege the vestry-halls and police courts in order to be duly enrolled as protectors of the public peace. At Clerkenwell, however, not a solitary person ap peared at the opening of the court, and only about a dozen attended afterwards. At the Thames police court, although the worthy magistrate entered up* the 'duties of his office at the early hour of era o'clock, no would-be constables claimed his attention. At Wandsworth the chief incident appeared to have been the application of a brick layer's labourer to be admitted as one of the "specials," but as his leading idea of the duties of the office was that there was a shilling to be received and a supper to be eaten, his offer was for the time declined with thanks. It is said, however, that hundreds of special constables were actually sworn, but it is certain that the number fell far short of what the public had been led to expect. The impression of many of these volunteers was that they were to be led in a body to Hyde-park to immortalize themselves by an open attack upon the members of the Reform League ; but when they found that the extent of their duties would be the preservation of their own shops and thoroughfares while the constable "on the beat" was drafted off to duty in the park, and that instead of a varnished truncheon with a small crown at the end, they were to be armed with a short length from a broomstick, their patriotism fell to zero. The chief thing that would attract the attention of anyone entering Hyde-park yesterday afternoon would be the absence of the ordinary policemen. Many persons went there at an early hour to see the large detachments of military of which the morning papers had spoken, but no troops were visible. The park looked very quiet and very beautiful in its fresh spring dress. Towards four and five the visitors increased, and then they kept on increasing. Enterprising costermungers, all the way from the east end, on hawking cares intent, essayed to enter the gates, but in most instance' they were refused admittance, and sent back be wailing their hard fate. A few, however, effected an entrance, and almost before they had com menced business a question was being asked respecting them in the House of Commons. The itinerant vendor of fluid and compound abo minations found no difficulty in displaying his tray of wares to the thirsty and hungry ; and the ballad singer, much to his own surprise, was not ejected when he struck up a new song in honour of the Reform League. At 5 o'clock the park looked gay with its thousands of men and women, and its wealth of sunshine. On the whole the assemblage was the meet respectable in appearance and manner that we have seen at any of the reform demonstra tions. -The usual occupants of the Ladies' Mile forsook their accustomed haunts, and ventured into the more open drives, where they had a fine opportunity of eyeglassing the British public, and awing the common people with their grandeur. Young gentlemen of the type superfine strolled about at a safe distance watching the habits and customs of working folks. Working folks amused themselves by returning the compliment. There were to be seen upon the grass in various portions of the park considerable numbers of the evil-eyed, prison-cropped community termed " roughs." They were looking out for a harvest which never came. Various games were indulged in by the light hearted. Several men, apparently politicians unattached, beguiled the time in making speeches on their own account, generally upon matters quite foreign to the Reform Bill. One painfully modest-looking individual offered for sale a pamphlet, entitled "My Vote, and why I want it, by a member of the National Reform League." At the end of the book the following notice was considered necessary :—" Friends who may not fully comprehend the principles contained in this little tract are requested to question the author in writing, enclosing a few stamps for reply." The groups of young men lying on the sward here and there were so frank in the expression of their opinions, that the passer by could not avoid having the benefit of them. Now the subject of debate would be the tailors' strike, now the political situation, and one man we heard repeating to his companions the curse recently uttered by a Fenian prisoner upon his informer. Occasionally groups might be seen listening to music, vocal or instrumental. The appearance in the distance of an unusually large concourse at tint set people talking and thinking of police and soldiers, but the continued absence of either, and the immunity which all enjoyed, at length inspired entire confidence. Shortly after six o'clock the first body of known reformers appeared, walking in twos and threes, but without any distinguishing mark. They were at once recognised, faintly cheered, and largely followed to the trees in the centre, where they halted. Gradually the miscellaneous groups broke up, and moved off towards the trees to swell the audience. No hindrance was offered now or on any subsequent occa aion tothe leaguers takinguptheirpoaitions. Shortly before half-past six Mr. Beale', The O'Donoghue I and Colonel Dickson passed into the park, and were immediately surrounded by a dense crowd who escorted them over the turf. They were loudly cheered. Shortly after this the " platforms ' were occupied, the platform being simply the park seats. The League had never intended to erect an actual platform in the grounds. There were ten of these speaking places, each distinguished by a number, and the name of the speaker was in some instances written upon his hat. Number one platform was in the centre, and was occupied by the presi dent, The O'Donoghue,&e. This was the great cen tre of attraction, and here the crowd numbered some thousands. Very little speaking could be heard beyond a few yards of the speaker ; in fact onlysuflicient of his voice to lead one to lament the fearful strain upon it which the circumstance necessitated. The principal feature of this part of the proceedings was the hearty and unanimous cheering that echoed from one to the other section. The speeches were of the usual kind, and can be literally more easily imagined than described. The turret and foundation-stone of course was hos tile criticism of the Reform Bill and its authors. The government were denounced in unsparing terms, and although the speakers had been ex pressly requested to abstain from any exultant re ferences to " the conduct and position of the govern ment with regard to the Hyde-park question," the sound of triumph was heard more than once when the speakers had warmed to their work. The audiences were indulgent and good humoured, and although sometimes they evinced more curiosity than decided interest, they did not in any in stance attempt to interrupt the proceedings. The audiences varied much in size, one of the sections being so little patronised that the appointed leaders had to move (STAMPED, ld. off to a new position. By far the greater number of the people in the park avoided the platforms, and promenaded on the grass and under the trees, or joined in whatever amusements were being promoted. All this made up a very striking scene, such as has not been seen in Hyde-park for many years, and will probably not be seen for many years again. Dozens of men, seemingly of high respec tability, as well as the roughs, were heard uttering one feeling in common—a feeling of disappoint ment, if nothing stronger, that after all, they had come out to see a peaceful gathering instead of the riot and tumult they had expected and would have preferred. The arrangements as to the speaking were materially the same as mentioned in yester day's paper. kaich section before dispersing gave hearty cheers for the Queen, John Bright, and Mr. Gladstone, one of them adding three laughs for the special constables, of whose conduct some ex tremely contemptuous opinions were expressed. The chief attraction at one of the groups was the harangue of a woman in a sailor's hat. She vigorously asserted woman's rights, and, in deed, so far as could be gathered, the rights of everybody to everything. The resolution pro posed and carried without opposition by the ten sections was the following : That this meeting, whilst still adhering to registered and residential manhood suffrage, protected by the ballot as the only really sufficient measure of reform in the representation of the people, hail with satisfaction the withdrawal last Thur sday evening of Lord Grosvenor's proposed aaarathassit, and the major rity of 81 on the same evening against the two yaws' resi dence clauses in the government bill, and earnestly call upon the Houma of Commons to make that bill a more full and honest measure for the extension of the franchise by expunging from it the ratepaying clauses, equalising the borough and county franchise on the principle of house hold suffrage, and introducing a provision for giving a vote to lodgers, or else to reject that bill altogether. While the government was meeting its sup porters in Downing-street yesterday, and hearing what the Premier had to say upon the course of the government respecting the demonstration, other and humbler meetings were being held elsewhere with a similar object. The executive council met at the League-rooms to make their final arrange. ments. Mr. Beales was there, also the O'Donoghue, M.P., Mr. Hughes, M.P., Mr. Taylor, M.P., and Mr. Whalley, M.P. The decision of the law officers of the crown that had appeared in one of the papers was the subject of long discussion, and its reservation for so long a period was severely condemned. The resolution given above was also determined upon. The Clerkenwell re formers, too, held a meeting to debate the vexed question of banners and music. The council of the League, wishing to make the demonstration as inoffensive as possible, had clearly determined to have no flags, no bands, and no " fancy dresses" of any kind, and to conclude the proceed, ings within half an hour. The prohibition of banners and music had offended the Clerkenwell branch, who sent a deputation of one man to the League in the morning to confer with the council upon the subject. No concession resulting, the Clerkenwell members held a second meeting in the afternoon, and determined to act in defiance of the League council. Accordingly, after the speaking had been in progress some time, a band was heard in the direction of the Marble Arch, and a procession was seen approaching, headed by a blood-red banner, from the stall of which dangled the cap of liberty. TI procession marched through the park to their posith to the strains of the Marseillaise Hymn. Mr. Bealea and his friends set the excellent example of breaking up by about a quarter-past seven, and the president, with the O'Donoghue and Colonel Dickson, were escorted out of the park by a crowd so dense that their safety was at one time very much a matter of doubt. The broad shoulders of the O'Donoghue and the tall stature of the t= is t colonel gave them an advantagewbich Mr. did not possess, and nothing but almost superhuman exertions prevented that gentleman from being forcibly separated from his colleagues. The re maining nine sections were slow to follow their leaders, and with that love of prolonged speech which has renders so many of their meetings tiresome, kept on talking until dusk. This was what the coun cil had anxiously wished to avoid, knowing that when daylight had gone there could be no guarantee for order with such a miscellaneous crowd. For tunately, however, the park was cleared without any disturbance or accident. The members of the Reform League carried out their determination to keep and preserve order ; the government carried out what it is presumed was its determination, not I to interfere ; and the sum total was that the Hyde ' ' park demonstration of the 6th of May was a gigan tic out-door holiday for large numbers of the working classes. The numbers present in the park have been variously estimated at from 50,000 to 150,000, and probably the last mentioned figure would be nearer the truth. In the absence of official information, and the assumed or real ignorance of the police officials, it is impossible to do more than repeat rumour regarding the arrangements made by the authorities. There were at any rate numerous bodies of troops and police kept carefully out of sight in Hyde-park Barracks, in the chief cavalry barracks, and in some of the livery stables near the Park. A statement made as to artillery preparations and military works within the park must be accepted as part and par cel of the many absurd things spoken of in con nexion with the demonstration. Had there been a disturbance it is pretty certain it would have been promptly dealt with, but, as has been stated before, no occasion arose for testing the efficiency of the " reserves." The only approach to a disturbance we saw was when a couple of policemen arrested a pickpocket and politely showed a too enterprising costermonger the nearest way into Piccadilly. A few boys, upon witnessing those ceremonies, considered themselves outraged, and performed a little harmless yelling, which died speedily of its own accord. We also heard of a few noisy incidents caused by the absence of the police in some of the low neigh bourhoods. Several deputations from the provinces took part in the demonstration. _ . . .

THE BOMBAY MAIL By the arrival of the above mail we have ad- vice; from Bombay to April 13, and from Calcutta to April 8. Latest accounts from the famine-stricken districts of Bengal, giving news up to the middle or end of March, report, says the Times of India, a steady, if not a rapid progress in the work of relief and reconstruction. Sir W. Mansfield has already left for the hills. Many of the higher officers are also leaving, and some of those attached to the Bengal government have gone to Darjeeling. The Viceroy, it is said, is detained by the famine report, hut was to leave for Simla between the 15th and 20th of April. The Hurdwar fair has commenced, and will be visited by the Maharajah of Cashmere, who has already reached the Punjab frontier on his way to the sacred spot. Hundreds of thousands of pil grims have massed themselves in the neighbour hood of the town, and it is stated that cholera has broken out amongst them. There are now six daily postal deliveries in Cal cutta, and there will be a similar number inißom bay immediately the increased expenditure is sanc tioned. The government of India has commenced pub lishing quarterly returns of the revenue and ex penditure of the empire. The statement just pub lished brings the accounts down to October 31, 1866. The Governor-General has authorised the im mediate payment of the first instalment of the Banda and Kirwee prize money, at the rate of 501. a share. It is said that instructions have been sent to India to organise a grand hunting expedition in the interior for the Duke of Edinburgh when his Royal Highness visits Bombay in the Galatea. Dr. Milman has been installed Bishop of Calcutta. It is a singular fact that wheat grown in the neighbourhood of Chichester, in Sussex, is worth 10s. a load more than wheat grown in the neighbourhood of Winchester, in Hants, and the latter is worth 10e. a load more than wheat grown in the neighbourhood of Salisbury, in Wiltshire. This is owing to the quantity of flour which the wheat of the different places yields. The go vernment has just purchase.] Chichester wheat at 19/. 10e. • load for the Clarence Victualling Yard at Portsmouth. - - Steamers now cross the Atlantic in nine days, and there is a steamer building for the North German Lloyd's Company which will, it is expected, cross in eight days. When the Pacific Railroad is completed, it will be possible to reach San Francisco from England in a fort night. From thence it will be possible to reach Hong Kong in three weeks. At present a person by travelling eastward can reach Hong Kong in six weeks. Before long a struggle will take place for the traffic of the far east, which will either pass to Western Europe, over the American continent, or along south-western Asia, as at present. The dream of Columbus will possibly be verified, that the western route is the way to the Indies, unless railways are made along the banks of the Euphrates and the Persian Gulf, and through Burmab to Canton. Englishmen are now living who will probably travel to China by rail, with the exception of creasing the British Channel and the Dardanelles. (Advertisement.)—HOLLOWAY . B OINTMENT. —An varieties of ulcerations, bad lega, sores, wounds and eruptions can be cured by the diligent use of the cooling. soothing, and healing unguent. The old and often failing fashion of ',trapping the edges of ulcers together with plaster has entirely given way before the more reasonable treatment by Holloway's tlintmeut, which builds uts from the bottom of the ground with sound mid healthy granulations; these gradually grow until they retch the level of the surface, then contract, harden, and immediately be come covered with new and wholesome akin. The proper impli cation of this ointment diminishes the inflammation, causes the unhealthy discharge first to grow thick, then to cease, when the swelling disappears and the natural shape u restored.

THE FENIAN TRIALS. DUBLIN, Motamy NIGHT. After deliberating about an hour the jury found John fil`Cafferty guilty on all the counts. Sentence was deferred until the decision of the point of law reserved for the Court of Criminal AppeaL John Hughes, George Connolly, and Thomas Clarke were then put on their trial for the crime of appearing in arms. The Attorney-Genial has entered a Rolle prosequi on the indictments found against several of the prisoners for high treason, and is proceeding against them for treason felony. The grand jury found true bills for treason-felony to-day against John Flood and Edward Duffy. The latter is one of those who were arrested with James Stephens, but subsequently liberated on the ground of ill-health. THE BOAT RACE ON THE TYNE.-ACCIDENT AND LOBS OP LIFE. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MONDAY NIGHT. To-day the boat-race between Kelly and Cham bers for the championship came off on the river Tyne here. Both men looked well prepared for the contest. There wee a good start ; Kelly went off with the lead, and after some slight fluctuations, maintained it throughout the race. Chambers rowed satisfactorily, but proved unequal to his antagonist's aquatic powers. Kelly won by 150 yards. The race was universally considered to be a hollow affair. Chambers' best days are believed to be over, and from the rust his success was doubtful. At starting the betting was equal. The assemblage of specta tors was very large. A sad accident occurred by the giving way of a gangway by which several lives were lost. Some bodies have been recovered in the river, but it is impassible yet to state the extent of the catastrophe. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY. --4.- The directors have Milted a report to be sub mitted to the special general meeting of the proprietors on Thursday. It is • very voluminous document — in fact a pamphlet extending over nineteen closely printed pages. The directors are happy to say that they have not experienced any difficulty is renewing their mortgages as they bare fallen due, and in order to provide for the puuctual payment of the interest on the mortgages and debenture stock • sum is now every week carried to a deposit account opened in the names of trus tees for this special peeped". The extraordinary and satis factory development of traffic on all the suburban liner south of London would justify an estimate larger than the foregoing ; but, as bearing on the future prospects of the company, nothing is more important than the union and cordial relations between the several companies occupying the districts south of the metropolis. Communica tions have been made to the chairman of the Smith Eastern Compaoy, with a view to the union of the South Eastern and Brighton undertakMp at the earliest period practicable. The course suggested, as the simplest and safest for all parties, is • fusion of interest on the basis adopted in the case of the North Eastern Amalgamation— all questions not otherwise agreed, to be settled by a re• feree mutually appointed: that the South Western Com pany be invited to join in such arrangements as will se cure permanently the working of all traffic in common in friendly co-operation ; that, if agreed, the companies, when united, might aid is working and developing the traffic of the Chatham and Dover Company with mutual advantage. It would not be poasibleto obtain the full and final sanction and confirmation of parliament to any such sr rangementsbefore next year ; but by an agreement between the companies most important results, as respects the well being of the companies and the interests of the public, might be immediately obtained by the suspension and ulti mate abandonment of works estimated to cost several millions of capital, which are uncalled for by any public necessity, and which, if constructed, would tend to im poverish the companies, and still further unfit them for affording to the public the full services and advantages which may he denved from the enormous capital already laid out. But cordial co-operation between the South Eastern and Brighton Companies, and making portions of lines and the principal stations of the companies available for me in common, would demonstrate to parliament that the public convenience is to be advanced more by the union of the companies than by the expenditure of milli on. of capital in rivalry and struggles for traffic already well accommodated. Entertaining these views, the beard will use their best efforts to aid in their realisation. As intimated in the notice convening the special meeting, two vacancies exist in the direction. Their successors cannot be appointed by the meeting ; but if two pronrie tors, duly qualified, are selected and nominated, the direc tors will at mace adopt the necessary step to give full effect to such nomination. The directors will not offer any objection to the adjournment of the meeting called for the sth inst., should such be the wish of the proprietors, feeling that the more fully the facts and circumstances of the case are examined and carefully considered the more satisfactory will be the result to the members of the board collectively and individually ; and should the meeting so determine, the directors will be glad to co-operate with any committee appointed by the meeting. The only suggestion that the board will offer to the proprietors on this question is, that they will select for such a duty co proprietors having • large permanent interest in the un dertaking, and who may be free to form • calm and impel.- , tial judgment as to the course best calculated to advance the permanent welfare of the undertaking." HOSPITAL FOR SICK CHILDREN, GREAT ORMOND RTRERT.—The fifteenth annual meeting of the governors of this institution was held yesterday in the board-room at the hospital. The Hon. Arthur Kinnaird. H.P. one of the vice - presidents , took the chair, and was supported by several of the founders of the charity. The proceedings of the committee of ma nagement during the past year were detailed by the chairman, and received the unanimous approval of the meeting. The annual report read by the secretary, Mr. S. Whitford, stated that the charity has not suffered from the recent financial crisis, the total amount derived from all sources (including legacies) being larger than dining any previous year in the history of the charity. " Increased means, and increased work " are referred to in the report, and a re turn shows that 113 more patients were admitted in Itniti, the numbers being 771, while &S were treated during 1865 The out-patient attendance (which is a department that confers incalculable benefit on the poor of the locality and many miles round) nitwit ered upwards of 80,000 visits during the year. The accounts of the charity are ad mirably managed by the finance committee, as we find that every item of expenditure, however small, poises under their scrutiny, while the prompt and ready pnyinent of all demands ensures all the advantages than :ieclue from abort reckonings. After the usual election of olhcers for the ensuing year. and resolutions of acknowledgment fir the valuable services of the medical officers (which are all honorary), a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the very interesting . proceedings.
