Everything is South Germany, he observes, is in a State of suspense. "It is possible that " the idea of national unity will in the end be " realized ; we ought, therefore, to enter at once "upon the path of conciliation." M. DE VARNBULER does not suggest that anything else is possible, not even the prolongation of the status quo. He *the Minister who, of all the statesmen of Ger a▪ ny, indulged in the moat violent language towards Prussia before the war. Since then he has not lent himself with grace to the policy re qu;eed by the interests of his country, and we learn that, on Saturday last, the Chamber of Deputies, at Stuttgart, rejected the report of a committee drawn up in accordance with his views, while an address favourable to Prussia was carried on the same day by a majority of 62 to 25 votes. The statement ma le by M. DE Fasenour, the Grand Duke of BADEN'S Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the Chamber of Deputies, was even less favourable to Austria. M. Di FREIDORE declared not only that his Government had been forced into the war by Austria against its will and judg- Yr en.% but that the Imperial Government had cm:- eluded with Bavaria a treaty contemplating the dismemberment of Baden under certain contin gencies. This, however, was merely the Minister's constructive inference from the treaty, in which Baden was not expressly mentioned, although its geographical situation indicates its territory as that from which the compensation promised to Bavaria was to be taken. The Minister further complains that Austria having forced Baden into the war made peace without consulting its allies, or caring for their interests. As we all know, the Austrian Government had no choice in this matter, that of Prussia declining to recognise the Southern alliance, but insisting on negotiating with each of its enemies singly. It is further well known that the complaints made at Carlsruhe are set off at Vienna by counter charges of treachery. That there was any conscious infidelity to engage.) menta on the part of Baden few will believe, but a Government which is forced into a war against the dictates of its interests is pretty certain to take a view of its duties different from that formed by its more powerful ally. Nothing is more likely than that the Baden Government sought to dis charge its obligations with as little sacrifice as possible, and with an eye to the issue which it had foreseen. The present Government of Baden takes openly the part of Prussia, which, in the opinion of 31. DI FREIDORE, hap treated the Grand Duchy " with considerable indulgence." " It is not," he exclaims, "our allies, but our " enemy we have to thank for the comparatively " speaking satisfactory state of the country at this " moment." He takes it as a sign of the "grace " of Providence " that victory was given to the enemy, and not to the ally of Baden, at the battle of Koniggratz. The terms of peace to which Baden had to submit are spoken of as the contri bution which that State is called to make towards the realization of German unity, and viewed in that light they are declared to be easy. Prussia, in the opinion of the Government of Baden, is the only State capable of improving the condition of Germany, and to draw the sword was the only way to accomplish that object. " Let us candidly " acknowledge," says M. DE FAEIDOMP, " that if " Prussia beat us it was for our ultimate advan " tags. By power, patriotism, and the great " sacrifices sho has made, Prussia has already " united under her auspices a considerable part of " the nation, and, as far as can be foreseen, the " rest will follow in due course without any " further appeal to arms." This, be it remem bered, is the language of the Minister of a South German Government. It is also that of the most enlightened people in the States south of the Maine, and as such it is a sufficient answer to those who are fund of declaring that the present position of Prussia represents nothing but the triumph of brute force, and has no right that is not derived from the sword. Tax Ministers of the Sovereigns of South Germany have been explaining in their several Chambers the part of their respective Governments in the late war. We owe it to the overthrow of the cause to which they allied themselves that these explanations are earlier, fuller, and probably more true than those which would have been forthcoming in the event of victory. Success needs no vindicaCon. It not only speaks for itself, but covers all errors and shortcomings, while failure, widely dis tributing a burden of responsibility, makes a hun dred tongues eloquent in self-defence. The state ments made by the Ministers of Baden and Witt.- temborg are exceedingly interesting. They differ in this respect, that while at Stujgart the policy of the Government during the war is explained by those who are personally responsible for it before the country, at Carlaruho it is stated by the successors of the Ministers who conducted the war. It is impossible to read the speeches of the statesmen of either the duchy or the kingdom without being struck with the immensity of the revolution that has taken place in Germany. The recent history, circumstances, and wishes of Ba varia, Baden, and Witrtemberg are very different, as well as the feeling with which they regard the past ; but as to what concerns the future, they are all in practical agreement. None of them looks to Austria, none of them mentions that Power ex cept in the language of disappointment or re proach ; and none of them gives the least encou ragement to the scheme of a South German Con federation to counterbalance that of the North. Such a project has no friends. Its real ization would be impossible, and it is re membered only as a diplomatic figment. It is well known that the Austrian Government on the one hand, and its South German allies on the other, were mutually disappointed in the expec tations they had severally formed of the assist ance to be rendered to one another. At Vienna, surprise and a certain amount of indignation was felt at the unpreparedness and inefficiency of the Bavarian army, and at the tardiness and hesitation of its leaders. Bavaria had the largest military force of any of the South German Govern ments, and it accomplished nothing, not so much as a diversion in favour of Austria. It was ob served at the time that the Bavarian ambassadors both at Berlin and Florence lingered in those capitals long after the representative of Austria had left Berlin. It now appears that the Bavarian Government was then intimating to that of Prussia that it was following Austria under a species of coercion—a statement of which Count BISMARCK took note, but which did not materially lighten the conditions imposed on Bavaria at the conclusion of peace. M. as Velure: nee, the Wttrtemberg Minister of Foreign Affairs, states that hie Government did not go into the war quite so ignorant as had been supposed. While obey ing a necessity of its position it knew that the war with Prussia was attended with most serious risks. But he com plains of the false show of power with which Austria beguiled her allies ; he states that the Wurtemberg Minister at Vienna had warned his Government that the Austrian army was weaker by 140,000 men than had been publicly given out. But then—as if to show how greatly the strength of Prussia had been underrated—he adds : —" We had every reason to believe that, " this deficiency notwithstanding, it (the " Austrian army) would prove more than a " match for the Prussians in Bohemia." The Wiirtemberg Government had further hoped that while the strength of Prussia was taxed to main tain a conflict in that kingdom, the South-Western Governments would be able to outnumber any force which the War Minister at Berlin could send against them. He complains that the Austrian Government, while less prepared for war than its allies had been led to believe, precipitated hostilities by a step—the mobilization of the Federal army—taken against the advice of those several allies. If we are to accept M. DE VARNBULER'S statement, that the Government of Wttrtemberg seriously urged that of Austria not to propose the mobilization of the army of the Bund, and so give Prussia an opportunity for declaring war, then, since Baden and Bavaria die claim. all responsibility for that measure, it follows that the war was brought on by Austria alone. It /9 to the rashness of Austria that M. DE YARN RULER attributes the misfortunes of the South German States, for he adds, " Then occurred what " we had foreseen. Prussia at once took the field, " and by the rapi'lity of her evolutions disconcerted " us all." He has another complaint to make. The behaviour of the nine iron-clads in the Channel squadron in the late experimental cruise in stormy weather may be considered, the Times says, as very satisfactory. They 011 a keep the sea, it is found, as well as our old line-of-battle ships, and the Bellerophon, In particular, is said to he a match for the smartest frigate aficat. Nor should it be forgotten, in estimating our naval resources, that we could already send to sea two other squadrons nearly as strong aa this Channel Fleet. On another most important point an authoritative oontradic- Mon has been given to au impression recently prevailing. The Admiralty denies that the service is short of men, or that any difficulty would be found in manning such ships as it might be requisite to commission. The Star explains that the Jamaica Committee do not ' propose to institute prosecutions for things which were done in the first heat of passion or of panic; but to confine themselves to acts which were committed in cold blood -1 to the deliberate taking of life after Mr. Eyre had put on record the fact that all resistance to authority had ceased. Some of the organs of the negro exterminating party have written of the destruction of a thousand negro huts or cottages sea rather amusing bonfire. But what says Mr. Itoundell, the secretary to the Jamaica Commission on this point ? " The burnings," he said, " meant violent ejectment from home and shelter end means of subsist -1 epee at a time when the tropical rains descended in their Buy—the ejectment of four or fire thousand human beings, most of them women and children." As for the people who can deliberately defend this unprecedented deed of vengeance, the Star has nothing to say to them. But 1 it is satisfied that there are many persons who, from an imperfect knowledge of the facts and a thoughtless feeling of sympathy for a man whom they fancy to have been wrongfully accused have espoused a bad cause, but who would blush with shame at the idea of lending actuate nance to the atrocities which Mr. Roundell has denounced with so much strength and yet moderation of invective. A considerable increase of temperature has taken place on the west coast of Yawn, and the winds have veered towards the southward. The sea Is high at West, and considerably disturbed on our eastern coasts. The barometer continues low in the west of trout& and the weather la In a very unsettled state. Cautionary telegrams were sent to the coast ye...erday. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MOM OUR OWN CORNJUIPONDLNL) PARIS, WEDNESDAY Evzignm The corporation of stock-brokers (agents de change), at a meeting held yesterday, which lasted till midnight, came to a most important resolution, the consequences of which it is difficult to antici pate. They have repudiated that "solidarity " or joint and several liability of the whole house for the good faith of every one of its members in his dealings with the public. Henceforth the public is warned than when a sum of money is entrusted to any Paris stock-broker for invest ment the client trusts entirely to the solvency and honesty of a single individual, and has no remedy against the rich and powerful corporation of which ho is a member. This reso lution has been come to in consequence of recent heavy failures by which the " house" has been bitten to a fearful extent. The syndical chamber of the agents de change have thought it right to resign in consequence of this vote, but it is thought they will all be re-elected at the new election, which will speedily take place. The event will give a great impetus to the opinion which has long prevailed among a large section of operators that the business should be thrown open. It will be argued that the very great and valuable privi leges of the agents de change arc not counter balanced by any coiresponding public advantages now that the safety of operations is not to be guaranteed by the whole corporation. A unnniuniqui to the Avenir National states that the two French subjects whose extradition from Switzerland was lately claimed for one offence, and who were tried at Lyons for another, have been, out of respect to the conditions of the extradition treaty, conducted to the Swiss frontier, and set at liberty. Sir Hugh Cairns will be the new Lord Justice of Appeal in Chancery in the place of Sir James Knight Bruce. In all probability Mr. Bolt, Q.C., M.P. for West Gloucestershire, will be appointed Solicitor-General. THE MILITARY PRISONS.—Lieut..-Colonel Hen derson, inspector-general of military prisons, in a report Issued to-day, says that daring the last year a further ad vance was effected towards the object of making a mili tary prison a place of hard labour. Nine hours and forty five minutes each day are now spent in hard labour, of which three hours are at shot A al, and in ►ddition to this an hour and a half in the evenings is spent in oakum picking, except by theft prisoners who are entitled by their promotion to the hi-,her classes to attend school. As to numbers, the prisoners in confinement last year were 6,390 as against 5,470 in the previous year. The principal increase is among soldiers whose services were from seven to fourteen years, of whom 2,166 were sen tenced in 1865 against 1,325 in the preceding year ; indeed it may be remarked that the increase of commitments among this class of soldiers has been steadily progressive from 335 in 1859 to 2,166 in 1866. It might, perhaps, be desirable that some investigation hto this great increase in a particular class should be made. At Gosport and at Devonport the system of employing ficat-class prisoners on out-door work has been pursued as far as possible, but no where are there the same facilities as at Aldershott for this beneficial employment of the prisoners' labour. The conduct of the prisoners has been good, and the general state of the m'iitary prisons is satisfactory. The inspectors of factories, Mr. Alexander Red grave and Mr. Robert Baker, in their last half-yearly go vernment report, speak very favourably of the continued and ready observance of the factory regulations in the various kinds of works now under their inspection. "We cannot," they say, addressing the Home Secretary, " ex press to you too strongly our sense of the vast benefit re cently conferred upon the operatives by the Factory Acts Extension Act of 1864, and our earnest hope that other employments, of which the evils and hindrances to moral and social progress have been so ably reported by the Children's Employment Commissioners, may, as soon as possible, be brought under the influence of Factory Regu lations."

Hicks (secretary to the society), had an interview with the Lord President of the Council, the Right Hon. Spencer H. Walpole, and the Right Hon. H. Corry, at the Council office, Whitehall, yesterday, on the subject of the restric tions imposed on the trade in cattle in consequence of the prevalence of the oattle plague. Mr. Helps, Mr. Harrison, and Colonel Harness were in attendance. The Bourse was again dull to-day. Rente fell 15c. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 68fr. 63c. and 68fr. 72ic. In other securities there was little change. It appears from a parliamentary return issued this morning that in Great Britain on the sth of March last the total number of cattle returned by occupiers of land and estimated by collecting officers was 4,785,836 ; the number of sheep returned and estimated, 22,018,281 ; the number of pigs, 2,477,019. The Prorires de /Oise states that the French Court will not arrive at Compiegne before the usual period, that is, in the first fortnight of November. The preparations hitherto made are with that prevision only. The special monomania from which the unfortu nate Empress Charlotte is at present suffering at Mir►- mar is an incessant apprehension that those around her are seeking to make away with her. She refuses to eat any food prepared for her, and nour*mhes herself, so it is said. upon raw chesouts and cold water, nor will she even take this poor sustenanoe in the presence of any of her attend. ants. The only person who retains any influence over her mind ia Count Bombelles, from boyhood upwards the faithful follower and friend of Ferdinand Max : of him she appears to entertain no fear. We read in the Prase of Vienna :—" For some time past many officers of the Blapka Legion, belonging to the Hungarian nobility, have remained at Vienna :th a car tain amount of uneasiness as to their future lot. Amongst them are Count Karolyi, M. de Csaky, and Baron Banfy. There was attached to them an Austrian officer, who did not quit them for an instant. They were lodged in an hotel at Vienna, where they could move about freely, but they were not allowed to go to the theatre. On Friday afternoon, these officers, who had previously exchanged their militia., uniforms for civil attire, were called before the police, who informed them that tke surveillance exercised over them had ceased, and that they might remain where they pleased in Austria. They intend to leave Vienna." The Herald says that the trials of the Pallas and the Bellerophon have completely established the value of the bows introduced by Mr. Reed, in rendering the pitch ing motions of those vessels peculiarly easy, and in im proving, rather than impeding, their speed under sail. The railway viaduct, the Times thinks, will be the death of the new bridge at Blackfriare in an archi tectural point of view. This is greatly to be regretted, for probably no structure of its kind in Europe can be said to equal it either in design or magnificent solidity of workmanship. The total length of the bridge from end to end is to be 922 feet, and this enormous stretch is carried on only five arches. It is not for some months, and until the spandril of the arches begin to be bolted to gether, that the public will be able to form a good idea of it. It 14 :11 probably be eighteen months before they an have an opportunity of forming this judgment. A Committee of the Lords of her Majesty's Mart Honour. able Privy Council sat yesterday in the Council Chamber, Whitehall, on matters relating to the cattle plague.

An analysis has been made of the treasures con tained in the gallery of the Louvre. It appear. that there are 2.000 pictures in the museum.

The Tinto asks what the late government mea sure of reform, which would only in the first instance have added something under a quarter of a million to existing constituencies, has in common a:th the manhood suffrage meetings which are taking place in the great towns? Mr Bright and his followers break openly with the past of thi; country, and the whole of his speech at Glasgow is one long sad acrimonious calumny on the most durable, the most prosperous, and the most renowned institution that the world has ever seen. The hon. member's language is not that of reform but of revolution. He has not shown us how one single grievance of which he complains would be remedied by the changes he advocates. It is a little unreasonable, when a claim is put forward for placing the direction of the affairs of the country in the hands of the poorer part of the community, that they should be exempted from the ordeal of criticism, and those members who have entered upon it be held up as proper subjects for popular vengeance. Whatever our con stitution has hitherto been, we have certainly enjoyed under it full freedom of discussion. Is it quite certain that that is one of the blessings which will attend on the introduction of Mr. Bright's millennium ? In the opinion of the Daily News, a more powerful, and in its main points • sounder, argument in favour of parliamentary reform than Mr. Bright's address at Glasgow has seldom been put forth ; and it is to be re. fretted that by his strong epithets he should ever give the opponents of reform the opportunity of II "thdrawing their understanding from his arguments, and their conscience from his appeals, under the pretence of resenting the taunts and personalities which they more than reciprocate. It is because Mr. Bright's opponents cannot answer his arguments that they prefer to deal with his invective. The facts which be repeats with respect to the distribu tion of political power in the country and in parliament speak for themselves. A principle which was right in 1832 cannot have become unsound in 1%6, and it is equally true now as then that the inequalities of oar re presentation have been kept up in order to maintain the ascendancy of the aristocratic and territorial classes in parliament. The result is seen in stringent Grime Laws, in the continuance of enactments which withdraw the land of the country from the ordinary operations of commerce, in the pauperism of the farm labourer, and in the discontent of Ireland. Without attribut ing any special hardness of heart to the landlords, who are sufficiently clear-sighted when the manufacturing poor are concerned, it may be said that they use their clams ascendancy to support their class prejudices ; and until their power in parliament I. reduced the condition of the agricultural labourer will remain a reproach to England, and the tenant's capital will seek other investments than the soil which he cultivates. Class legislation is not to be avoided by class representation, as some believe. It is not by separating intelligence and cultivation from num bers and energy, but by interpenetrating numbers and energy with intelligence and cultivation, that a real re.
