The semi-official Prorincial ('urrespondenee of this evening says :—" Before the visit of the Emperor Napoleon to Salzburg, the intelligence of the pro posed visit caused the Prussian government no ap prehension. The latter has since received a trust worthy communication showing that the visit merely arose from a desire on the part of the Emperor Napoleon to give the Emperor Francis Joseph a token of his cordial sympathy with the Imperial House of Austria. The meeting of the two Sovereigns had no political object which would justify any uneasiness.' The same journal says that, aa far as is at present known, the result of the elections now going on for members to the North German Par liament will be as favourable to the policy of the government and the ulterior development of the national cause as that obtained at the election of February last. . . . . .

The first of the Oxfordshire agricultural gather ings took place yesterday. A numerous party dined toge ther under a large awning at the back of the }Ling 's e Arms, but their comfort was disagreeably disturbed by a severe storm of thunder, lightning, and rain which lasted for a considerable time, and at times rendered the voices of the speakers almost The chair was taken by Sir A. W. Perron, Bart.•, and amongst the guuta were the Earl of Jersey, the Right Hon. Mr. Henley, M.P., Colonel North, ALP., Colonel Pane, M.P., &c. After the usual touts, the CHAIRMAN proposed " the Health of the three County Members" Mr. HENLEY said there was now hardly anything to talk of but the future. They had had plenty of the past. They bad had the cattle plague, but he hoped and trusted they ; had got rid of that. It was impossible for any one who bad been in the thick of it not to say a word about reform. (Hear, hear.) All that could be hoped was that the people would gain what they bad for the last fourteen yeah been taught they ought to gain. He was one of those who, for the last fourteen years. having seen successive Prime Mi nisters put into the Queen's mouth words in which the people were told they ought to have an extension of the suffrage, chose no longer to play the humbug, and thought it aeoessary honestly to settle the question if it was pos sible to do so. (Cheers.) He believed it had been settled cm—he was going to say the best principle—but at all events in the only mode in which it could have been set tled with any prospect of permanence ; and he trusted that the people of this country, in whose good sense he had the greatest confidence, would use fairly and properly the great trust which bad been placed in their hands. It was impossible for any one not to have seen the vast spread of intelligence and energy which had been mani fested—especially those who had lived so long as he had done. Not only must they have seen that 'spread of intelligence and energy, but they must ,have witnessed many things which had tended to improve the condition of the people. They had seen a ' great diminution in the amount of crime, and drunkenness, and immorality ; and although there was still plenty of evil and tin in the world, they amid not but feel that the changes that had taken place were vastly for the better. ! (Cheers.) In the face of enormous temptations, in the face of an increase of wealth, which was an enormous tempta tion to abuse, in the face of all discouraging circumstances, those who looked back for 40 or 50 years must do so with great confidence in the people of this country. (Cheers.) For his own part, he had always done so, and hoped to live to see his expectations still further fulfilled. (Cheers.) The question of education must next session come very prominently before parliament. (Hear, bear.) He hoped the great friends of education would try: to accommodate , matters as far as possible, and would not strain the line too tightly ; that they would not endeavour to take away from useful occupations those persons whose services were necessary to the land, and that those who bad the care of them would take every opportunity of making them use ful members of society. Those who were taught to do their duty to God and man would make the best labourers, and the most sure way to give them that knowledge was to train them in good schools, where these matters were properly attended to. (Loud cheers. Colonel NORTH, in responding to the toast, silirmwil his concurrence in the remarks which had fallen from his right hon. friend, that they had passed through a most eventful session, one that gave many hon. members cause to consider most deeply, and his hope was that they had decided for the good of the country. His right hon. friend had said, and most truly, that the greatest possible reliance might be placed on the good sense of our fellow countrymen. The opportunity of showing that good sense was now afforded them and he hoped that the privileges which they had obtained would tend to promote the honour and glory of the country. (Cheers.) No doubt they had been " called over the coals " for having been parties to the passing of the Reform Bill, but after fourteen years dangling about the country, he thought it was 'noes ' miry that something should be done. (Hear, hear.) That being the case, it was impossible to do it by halves, and he thought their leader had taken a right and proper comet in going to the foundation of the matter at once. He trusted that what had been done would prove beneficial to the country. On both aides of the house every possible attention had been given to the subject, and he could honestly say that fat no previous session of parliament bad there been a more sincere desire to do justice to all classes of the community. (Cheers. / I Colonel Flats said a great deal had been said about the last session of parliament. He would only say that during that session his regular habits had been greatly disturbed by the Reform Bill ; for instead of being able to go to bed . at ten o'clock and vise at eight the next morning, he had been frequently obliged to sit up until three. (Laughter and cheers.) All this had been caused by that tremendous Reform Bill which it was said woulddo much good to the , country. But as Lord Derby had said, it was a " leap in the dark," and no one could really say what would be the result. The bill had been most ably carried through by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had received most valuable assistance from his right hon. friend (Mr. Henley). The means of the measure was greatly owing to what his right hon. friend had said in the house, and to the influ ence which he pomiessed ; for somehow when a division took place on an important point, and an hon. member was unable to make up his mind, it was a common thing to inquire, "Which way does Mr. Henley go?" (Cheers.) Duriv e l the discussi ons on the Reform MU Mr. Henley earn so many hon. members with him, that whether the Reform Bill be a good or a bad measure, its success was in a great measure attributable to his right hon. friend. (Cheers.) Other toasts followed. REFORM DEMONSTRATION IN DUBLIN. A meeting of citizens, called by the Lord Mayor of Dublin upon a r equisition presented to him, was held on Tuesday night an the Mechanics' Institute Theatre, to receive a deputation of English reformers, and to ears's°, the cause of Irish reform. The meeting was densely crowded, and great enthusiasm prevailed. Shortly after eight o'clock the Lord Mayor, The O'Donoghuo, Mr. Beale*, and Mr. Jones an ived on the platform, and were hailed with enthusiastic and prolonged cheering. The LARD MAYOR, who presided, said he was thoroughly conscious that as it was his duty to convene the meeting, so it would be conducted in such a manner as to reflect credit on the people of Dublin, without the slightest interruption. Those who might have come to interrupt would be put outside the doors. (Cheers.) The cause for which he had convened the meeting knew no party. (Hear, hear.) The Reform Act, which he held in his hand, was the product of the mind of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the leading tory in the land ; but he had been at heart a reformer ever since his first step in life, and it was because he had qwas sym with the working men in England that he had dragged the tory coach up to its last summit. That result tie to the action of some of the gentlemen present— especially one, who, leading the working clamed in Eng land in their strength and might, taught the working classes in Ireland that if they would be true to the law, true to the crown—(loud and prolonged hissing)—if they obeyed the principles of Daniel O'Connell—(cheen)—they might obtain all their rights. Ile believed the effect of this meeting would be that at the next sitting of parlia ment the Chancellor of the Exchequer would bring in a re form bill for Ireland. (Cheers.) Mr. P. J. SHA NUT, secretary of the Irish Reform League, read a letter freru Belfast asking to have a branch of the League established there ; and also the following letter from Mr. John Stuart Mill : "Dear Sir,—Your letter of the 24th instant having arrived at thy house after I left England, has only just reached me. I hare long been convinced that complete justice to Ireland was scarcely to be hoped for, unless preceded by • reform of parliament sufficiently thorough to take away the present predominance of the landed interest, and transfer a large share of political power to dames who are not under the influence of landed or church prejudices. There is coo siderable reason to hope that the parliamentary reform which we have now obtained may, at least in some degree, accomplish this. Whatever power has been gained by the working classes or by the advanced liberals will, I am con vinced, be used for the complete redress of the grievances of Ireland on the two most fundamental points, the church and the land. On the former, they will aim at perfect religious equality, not in my opinion by the endowment but bT the dimendowinent of all religions. On the land question they will, I believe and hope, be satisfied with nothing short of complete assurance to the tenant that all value added to the land by his labour or expenditure shall belong to himself •; together with • well combined system of measures for the formation of a numerous body of small proprietors, either cultivating their own land, or secured by a permanent tenure at • quit rent. I entertain • san guine hope that this will also be the policy of the leaders of the liberal patty. By firm union of British and Irish liberals on these principlee, the grievances of Ireland may soon be redressed, and the embittered feelings which those grievances have engendered will not long survive them. There is no wish in any section of the British people to be unjust to Ireland : for many years past the source of mischief has not been in any selfish intentions of the nation, or even of the ruling classes. Ignorance of what the circumstance' of Ireland requires and deeply rooted prejudices, namely—less hurtful to England than to Ireland—are the causes of the evil. The ignorance is now rapidly becoming dispelled, and the prejudices in the minds of the working classes, and of the advanced liberals, do not exist. An era of hope, therefore, is opening for Ireland, which, if improved by wise and harmonious ac- Sion on the part of your representatives and of ours, may make the 00111141.1d011 between the two countries au un alloyed benefit to both. In addition to the two great sub jects which I have already touched upon, them are, no doubt, many other matters which will demand legislation On these it will be for the Irish people, after due delibe ration, to make their opinions and wishes known to the reformed parliament ; and I have no fear that the course which shall most approve itself to intelligent Irishmen will fail to obtain the support of English liberals. The most pressing of these subjects is the reform of the representation, and I would strongly urge the Irish reformers to prepare the heads of a bill, which, while embodying the meentials of • real parliamentary reform, maybe such as ems be offered to the parliament which Famed the English Reform Bill with a fair chance of being adopted. and to give to such • bill their united support. —I am, dear sir, yours very sincerely, " J. S. MILL." Mr. J. P. SIIANUIT then read the following address to Mr. Beales " ADDRLSB TO EDMOND BIALM, 18Q., LA., PRESIDENT OF TILL NATIONAL =FORM -LEAGUN. " Dear Sir,—The council and members of the Irish Reform League desire, eo this, your first visit to Ireland, to tender you their warmest welcome, and to offer you their heartiest congratulations on the meccas which las attended the labours of the National Reform League of Eng land, of which you are the esteemed end able president. Much of that success is due to your wise and prudent counsels, to your indomitable energy, to your loyalty to principles, and to your unswerving course of upright conduct. Your know. ledge of law enabled you to defeat the government in the Hyde-park proceedings, of world-wide notoriety, when the government and its officers were obliged to admi t that they were wrong and you were right. Their Parks Bill you were mainly instrumental in defeating, and the Reform Bill, giving household and lodger suffrage in English boroughs, is due almost entirely to you and the bold and manly course taken by the National Reform League. Mr. Disraeli bad the sense to understand " the sign of the times," and drawing the tory coach up-hill, he carried a measure which a year before it was only through the madness of yourself and others, it was said, any could be found to de mand. Even tory lords state that the Reform Bill is your work rather than that of the government. We rejoice with you in the success of your effort.. We feel satisfied i , o e n siv will carry the ballot also ; and the Irish Reform e, determining to follow the noble example which you ave set them, are resolved to pursue the same course of constitutional agitation, until every Irishman living on Irish soil shall possess the franchise. Thanking you and your friends for this friendly visit, we beg to offer you our wannest sympathies and support in the struggle in which you are so manfully engaged.—Signed on behalf of the council. " O'Domoomus, President. " P. J. Ellianar, Secretary." Mr. Ituute then rose, and thus replied to the address presented to him : My Lord Mayor and citizens of Dublin —A striking proof of the veracity and morality of certain portions of the press is given in the false motives which have been assigned for my presence here to-night. I come here at the invitation of your own Reform League, and for the purpose of proffering to you, on the part of the English people, the hand of fellowship and brotherhood. (Cheers.) I have said in my own country and I am not afraid to repeat it here, that I do not ask for any right, social, political, or religious, for England that Ido not also wish to be extended to Ireland. If I bad any doubt of the fitness of my being here to night it would be removed by the cordial reception which you have given me. (Cheers.) I remember, when at a critical crisis, when threatened by the tory government of the country, • noble and distinguished countryman of yours came forward and stood by me in the hour of peril. I remember The O'Donogbue was at my right hand in Hyde-park, when • military force threatened to deprive the people of the constitutional right to meet in public— (cheen)—and on that occasion he delivered a speech full of native Irish eloquence which will not soon be for gotten amongst Englishmen. When I think of these things I feel that I am somewhat at home among you to-night, and I trust the time is not far distant when we will be all fellow-countrymen in the true sense of the word. (Cheers.) If this do not happen, it will not be my fault. One of the first and most important step, for obtaining this union amongst us is that Ireland should ob ' Min an extension of the franchise to at least as great an extent as England has • and we, the members of the Re form League in Engl and, are determined to aid you in obtaining this, and in makitig the bill satisfactory to you, in ease it be not so when originally introduced by the government. (Loud cheers.) We regard the bill brought in by the present government as almost rendered useless by the restriction of personal rating. Mr. Beales then proceeded to criticise the Reform Bill, and to advocate vote by ballot. He concluded thus—Re form in parliament is not the only reform needed by Ireland. Reform in England and Ireland is only • stepping-stone to obtaining proper government, wiser, better, and juster administration of our national affairs— (cheeis)—less regard for class interests, and more consi deration for the rights and privileges of labour, the great source of all national prosperity and welfare. (Cheers.) I now take my leave of you, expressing • hope th.t the time is not far distant when Ireland, instead of being • source of disgrace and peril to England, will be • glorious, prosperous, and contented member of the United Kingdom. (Loud cheers.) The O'Doxonvirt, M.P., mine forward to move the first resolution, and was received with loud cheers. He said he could not forget that they were in the midst of a city having many of the appurtenances of a great capital, once the seat of the legislature. Dublin had been the scene of those memorable events in Irish history which raised the drooping spirit even in the darkest hour, and filled the heart with hope that by doing their duty fearlessly, not allowing their overflowing love of country to get the better of their prudence, they might yet be enabled to accomplish what their father■ had struggled for. (Loud cheers.) The object they sought to obtain was that the Irish nation should govern itself through a body of repre sentatives freely chosen by the people. A Volol—Wa are no nation. (Loud cries of " Put him out," followed by the summary ejectment, by a couple of constables, of the individual who ventured to make the observation.) The O'Do;rocntm—Owing to the peenlar circumstances of the present time that object was eminently practical, and it was urgently necessary that they should thus become masters of their destiny, if they were to escape from the turmoil of a revolution, which would otherwise be the result of the oligarchical domination which bound them to the ground. (Here another disturbanoe took place in the gallery between • coalporter and one of the audience. after which) The O'Donoghue returned, and said that the English and Scotch people were prepared to join with Ireland in the common cause actuated by • generous desire to make reparat ion to the Irish people for the untold wrongs heaped by , the British government upon them. (Loud cheers.) Why did ho arrive at that conclusion ? Because in his intercourse with the English people he had met with the warmest sympathy for the Irish poli tical prieoners—(loud and prolonged cheering)—and be cause he found that the masses of the English people knew that which was as true as that God is in heaven, that the political prisoner' were enshrined in the hearts of the country. (Deafening applause, and waving of hands and bats in all portions of the building, sworn ponied by cheers for Burke). He found that the generous English people had expressed their oonvic• tion that the political prisoners bad sacrificed their all upon the altar of patriotism. (Tremendous cheering.) In blancheste he had beard John B ht—(obsers)—eay, oreidst the septever•eeelsome et 4644" would open the prison doors and let the captives free. (Great cheering.) An individual in the gallery here made some observations which rendered him obnoxious to the coalporter!, and, amidst cries of " Put him out," " Throw him over ' he was ejected from the building. The TAD XATOIt at length was heard to have called " Order," and . . The CVDottoontre again proceeded—He wished the Irish people to unite with the English. reformers in their efforts to obtain those political rights which in believed in his inmost soul those Englishmen who helped them meant they should use in whatever way was pleasing to the Irish people—(great cheering)—and if it were not too presumptuous in him, he would say, on the part of his countrymen, that that was the sense in which they accepted their co-operation. (Cheers.) The present system of representation was the most complete humbug that hadjever been known. He believed the course for them to adopt was to co-operate with the English people, who had given most unmistakeable proofs of their sincerity. He begged to move—" That the meeting, while claiming for Ireland an extension of the franchise at least equal to that conceded to England, expressed its convic tion that no suffrage short of residential registered ma. hood suffrage will, or ought to be permanently satidactory to Ireland, England, or Scotla nd ." (Loud cheers.) Mr. O'Donsm.i. seconded the motion. The Rev. Mr. IdoLimi rose to propose the following re. solution :—" That this meeting, deeply impressed with the prudent action of the English Reform League, in view of the success which has been already obtained, is pre mred to unite with that League in agitating for the ballot; but more especially as the voters in this country impera tively require that they should have that protection to enable them to exercise the franchise with freedom and independence." He severely commented on the statements of certain journals as to the motives of reformers, and re. (erred at length to the evils mused to Ireland by the want of legislation on the subject al the security of land tenure. Mr. Mowarr seconded the resolution. A gentleman in the gallery now and then interrupted Mr. Mowatt by such observations as " Shut up your gammon." Attention was drawn by these circumstances to this gentleman, and on making some other observations he was estupon by a number of tealportere. Then ensued a scene of the greatest disorder. The coalporters rose up and began to beat the unfortunate man unmercifully. A few of those around him who endeavoured to Warier* were also attacked. - then rose to support the resolution— Citizens of Dublin, I confess I would not a few months ago have come among you with the *erne feelings of pleasure as fill my mind at the present moment. If I then, asked you to exert your energies for the obtaining of parliamen tary reform, I might justly have been told that the English workmen should carry their own projects before encouraging others to dose. (Hear.) But circumstances have altogether changed, and the reason is that the army of democracy having mustered its battalions are pressing forward to victory. (Loud cheering.) The glorious tricolour has been raised, the tricolour thatfloated over French soldiersas they marched to victory through almost every country in Europe. (Cheers.) Bat we mean to gain our victory not by arms, but by the force of reason and thought. The men of Lancashire have sent me to offer Irishmen the hand of friendship. It bad unfortunately happened that the people of the two coun tries had been too much divided to obtain their common rights, for it had been the principle of the oppressors to divide and then conquer them. (Cheers.) [Mr. Jones was here interrupted by • slight disturbance.] After it had ceased be thus continued—You, people of Ireland, have trusted whig and tory, and by both have you been dmeived. You have not yet trusted the people. They, I warrant you, will not betray your confidence, but will aid you in obtaining your rights and liberties. (Cheers.) Mr. Beaks has said that he is afraid that the bill lately brought in may not give as much as it pretends, but I care not for what any one says on this point, the people of England will not bear to be trilled with, and the aristocracy cannot, dare not, en deavour to make the bill a sham and a pretence. (Loud cheers.) Some gentlemen ask for more and some for lees than the bill has given us, but still you must ban mon. (Cheers.) For society la not, cannot be, stagnant, it must progress or retrograde, and the feeling in England, in France, in America, and in Germany, is favourable to program. (Chem.) I have hail my revenge for my dap of imprisonment and suffer ing. I have assisted in wringing from an unwilling parlia ment justice to the people. Parliament must act in sc. cordanee with the wishes of the people. Like mercury, it must ascend, as the popular element becomes warmer. We have gradually made parliament rise from a 61. franchise to a household suffrage, and if we persevere we will make them arrive at summer heat, which is manhood suffrage. (Loud and continued cheering.) Mr. COOK proposed, and Mr. Cusir seconded the following resolution : " That this meeting earnestly calls upon the people of Ireland to unite in supporting the Irish Reform League, by the formation of local branches, to enable them to join in action with the Ecglish and 'Scotch Reform Leagues in the obtainment of popular rights." After the usual vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. MR.

Donations were solicited by the lady managers of the Coloured Home with the assurance that when a certain amount was raised the afghan should be sent to John Bright, as a memorial of the great interest he bad taken in the cause of freedom:—" Rochdale, July 8, 1867.—Dear Madam,—l write to thank you and the ladies associated with you as managers of the National Association for the Relief of Destitute Coloured Women and Children, for the very handsome and valuable present you have forwarded to me. The afghan is much admired here, but its value is immensely increased because it once belonged So your great and good president. I feel much indebted to the ladies who bad me in their kind remembrance, and who have sent me this beautiful gift. I have great satisfaction in reviewing the course I took in reference to your pat struggle, and often lament that it was not taken by all my countrymen. If all the influential men of this country had looked with a generous eye upon your late contest, I believe the two nations would have been united in • solid ftiendship which nothing hereafter would have been able to disturb. I hope good men and women in both countries will do all they can to wipe out the remembrance of all that is evil in the pest This is needful for the good' of the two countries, and for the good of all the world. With many thanks to yourself , to the ladies who are con nected with you, and to all concerned in the purchase of the gift which you have forwarded to me, and which my family will always so greatly value, I am, with the highest respect, very truly yours,—JOHN Bmoar."— Washington Chronicle, August 21. OPPOSITION TO THE NEW HIGHWAY ACT. —For several months • struggle has been going on between the , ratepayers and the magistrates of the North Riding with reference to the adoption of the new Highway Act. The magistrates, by about 3 to 2, carried the provssiooal order at the spring quarter sessions. At the midsummer sessions the confirmation of the provisional order was postponed until Michaelmas. As this period is near at band it is deemed requisite to meet the intention of the magistrates ' by a determined opposition. On Saturday afternoon • meeting of the council of the North Riding Chamber of Agriculture was held at Melton, to adopt • petition, to be sent by every parish in the northern division of the county, against the confirmation of the provisional order. Mr. Chick, agent to Sir E. Leobmere, Bart., presided, and thirteen members of the council attended. It was held to be essential that the ratepayers should earnestly but respectfully entreat the magistrates to quash the provi sional order, instead of making it final, and this they ought , to do out of respect for the opinions of the ratepayers, who are so unanimous on thin important subject. A petition was unanimously adopted against the act, and • resolution was passed to send the petition for discussion by each of the branch chambers, and afterwards to bring it before • general county meeting, at Melton, before sendieg copies to every parish for signatures. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE THE WEL , H NAIIONAL Fzsriret. ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. The first meeting of the general committee of the association wee held yeaterday afternoon ; but the opening meeting of the association was not held till the evening, in the large Kinnaird-hall, where the Duke of Buocleuch, as president of the association, delivered the inaugural address. The sectional meetings commence this morning, and will be continued till Tuesday, and the concluding general meeting of the association will be held on Wednesday next. Arrangements have been made for evening meetings, which proudlc to be very attractive features of the gathering. This evening there . will be • soiree end conversations in the Volunteer Hall, at which valuable works of art, geological speci mens, and other objects of interest will be exhibited. The collection of paintings in this hall, which will be ex hibited this evening, will be one of the finest which has been brought together in Scotland, comprising numerous specimens of the works of the most cele brated of the old masters, together with • selection of many of the choice productions of modern Scotch and English artists. The noble president of the emaciation, the Duke of Bin:clench, has placed at the disposal of the com mittee • considerable number of valuable paintings, and his example hail been liberally followed by numerous noblemen and gentlemen in the district, so that the exhibition of paintings in the Volunteer-hall will well =y long and frequent visits by all loven of art. The bition includes pictures by Velnes ' Murillo Ruben', Vandyek, Rembrandt, and many others the old masters, while it sontains numerous excellent specimen..of On Wednesday morning the proceedings in con nection with the National Eisteddfod commenced under the moat favourable auspices at tho ancient town of Car marthen. During the previous evening and early during the morning the town and district were visited by a severe thunderstorm, and sharp showers of rain continued to descend at intervals until the Eisteddfod actually com menced. Notwithstanding the very serious drawback of the weather, however, the town WAS thronged by strangers from all parts of the principality, attired in the most extraordinary variety of co.tuu.er. The town was taste fully demanded; triumphal arches and all possible kinds of devices being erected at every fifty yards in the prin cipal thoroughfares. Congratulatory mottoes in Welsh and English were distributed through every part of the town. The actual business of the Eisteddfod commenced by a meeting of the Social Science Section at the Town hall, when papers on questions of social economy, he., were read, followed by free discussion' and oonvenuttion. At eleven the members at the council and general and local committees, and a number of other gentlemen, followed by a large portion of the puhlie, together with the members of the friendly societies of the town and district, 'rum bled at the Town-hall, and a procession having been formed proceeded towards the "Iloreedd," which was opened by the publication in Welsh and English of the following pro clamation :—" The truth against the world.—ln the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, the sun ap t preaching the Autumnal Equinox, at the hour of noon, on the 3rd day of deptemner, after due proclamation, this Gorsedd is opened in Carmarthen, with invitation to all w m ho may assemble here, where no wen is unsheathed tedgeriheer, works of genius su mated for adju Cation, in the him of the sun—the eye of light.

On T h ursday evening, in addition to the soiree and eon versa:Moe in the Volunteer-hall for members of the association, Professor Tyndall is to deliver a lecture on " Matter and Force" to working men, in the Kinnaird. hall, which will be densely crowded on the occasion, the demand for tickets having been far in excess of the capa bilities of the ball, though these have been increased by the erection of temporary side galleries. On Friday evening, Mr. Archibald Gaikie, director of the geological survey of Scotland and president of the geological section, la to deliver a lecture in the Kinnaird hall, on "The Geological Origin of the Present Scenery of Scotland." In the mine place, on Monday evening, Mr. Alexander Herschel is to deliver a lecture on "The Pre sent State of Knowledge regarding Meteors and Me teorites." On Tuesday evening the concluding soiree will take place in the Volunteer-hall ; and on Wed nesday evening the corporation are to give a banquet to the leading members of the association in the Albert In stitute, while a concert is to be gives in the Kinnaird., hall by the Dundee St. Cecilia sod Philharmonic Society, who are liberally to place 1,200 tickets at the disposal of members of the Association. _ This formality having been gone through, the promote& reformed, and escorted the president of the day, Mr. D. Pugh,ll. ,to the pavilion,where he was dalyhostalled in the *hair. The proceeding, commenced by the band playing the National Anthem, the whole of the vast assembly standing. Some preliminaries having been sometimes*, The PRZBIDENT rose and : It give' me very great pleasure to meet you here on this occasion, for I entirely agree with those high authorities which have impaneled the opinion that the taste—the deeply implanted taste which actuates thousands of the people of this country to assemble here and listen to the compositions of their countrymen—l say I agree with those who say that a taste of this kind is highly creditable to any nation, and I am thoroughly convinced that the good common sense which prevails among my countrymen will prevent them exer cising that taste to anything like excess. The taste to which I allude, common sense will tell you, is emollient as • recreation, and in any country can only be followed as a pursuit by • hAllt : favoured few men who, having great taste, na turn to that by which such taste may be gratified, ' Zii have made for themselves names that are household words, and won imperishable renown. That pursuit by which each man hopes to obtain his livelihood mast and ought to be made the principal pursuit of his life • end lam pleased to know that the managers of the Eia: teddfod, with this object in view, are making the insti tution more and more practical every day, for which they deserve the gratitude of their country. Art is long, but life is short. They know that if • man would prosper in the world, be must confine himself to pursuit. If be does not do this, he becomes Jack of all trades and master of none, which is not likely to secure for him any thing substantially good or substantially great. This con centration upon one pursuit is getting more and more necessary every day, more requisite than ever. Coin ' petition will be brought to our very doors, and will in time be more strong and severe than it bee ever been yet. Ido not wish to flatter my own country men, but I venture to say this, that they have always been distinguished for intelligence. And this is not • discovery of to- da y, or of yesterday. Three hundred years ago is " Carey's Conquest of the Nominee," I find it stated that "'he Britons were distinguished for their intelligence." The people of this country have nothing to fear from com petition ; and I am convinced that competition with • wealthy and powerful country like England will only teed to the development of their own resources, and will im prove their position instead of injuring it. I am one of them who wish to see first-rate schools and first-class col leges in Wales. Schools and colleges not confined to Welsh men alone—no I would have them so excellent that the sons of Englishmen should ask to be admitted into them. I would wish to see the beauties of Oxford and Cam bridge combined in them, and kindred systems intro , &nod in other places. Why was Scotland foremost in this respect, but from the admirable system of schools which had been established 100 yews? That is the secret of their superiority ; and Wales, I hope, will soon have all the same advantages as Sereland now enjoys. Yes, Wales is treading fast upon the heels of Scotland in this respect —not by slow march, but in quick, double•quics time. And this rising is not a policy of isolation—it is one of infusion and amalgamation. It has been going on for centuries, and will continue to go on at an accelerated pace. I hold it to be a great advantage that we in Carmarthen, for instance, have the great advantage of being brought into close connexion with the hives of industry with which the neigh ' bouring musty of Glamorgan abounds. They buy their beef and their mutton of us, and we take care that they pay • good price for both. If it is thus in reference to 13kmorgan, how much more moat it be to our advan- I tag. to be connected with the great ports and towns of England. Efforts are being made to increase the trade 1a other places, and Wales is following fast in their footsteps. la this competition we have nothing to fear. Behave like practical men ; bold fast to your recreations as much as you can, but use them only as recreations, and stick to your trade or occupation whatever that may be. The President resumed his seat, amidst loud and long continued cheering. Llew Llwyvo then sang the national song, " Cambria's Holiday," which was warmly applauded. The adjudica thin of prices was then proceeded with. One of the most popular features in the programme of • meeting of the British Association is the list of excur sions, end that attraction has not been negleeled on this mow= by the executive committee. On Saatt y there will be excursions to Glamis Castle • Romig Priory, the seat of Lord Kinnaird • St. And re ws , and Falkland Palace ; while on Thursd ay, the 12th, there will be excur sions to the Den of Airlie, Du Den, and Kilmaron, Bal. ruddery, Newburgh, and Errol Park , Arbroath, Montrose, Perth, and Loch Leven. Dunkeld is not named in the programme, but no doubt many of the visitors will pay a visit to that beautiful place. In connection with the meeting of the association, there will be held grand floral and agricultural shows. The floral show is to open to- morrow in the Baxter Park, and continue for four days, the members of the association being privileged Ito visit it free each morning, between nine and eleven o'clock. The cattle show is to be held in the Magdalen-green, en Friday and Satur day. In addition to all these attractions, strangers will have an oportunity of • many of the public works in Dundee about fo i r i rrcMv kb axe to be thrown open to the members of the association during the gather ing, including flax spinning and weaving works, jute n spining works, calendering work., and ironfounding and engineering establishments. The committee which has been entrusted with all these arrangements foe this varied programme have been meet in defatigable in their exertions during the past week to have everything in readiness and there exertions promise to be rewarded by a aucoeMful meeting ; for, while the total number of tickets issued last year at Nottingham, up to the aloes of the meeting, was 2,303, yielding a revenue of 2,46111. there was issued, up to four o'clock this (Tuesday) aftenwon, before the meeting has begun, no fewer than 1,703 tickets, yielding a revenue of 1,830/.
