Tea brief conversation in the Ronne of Lords last evening on the results of the Conference of London, and the various interpretations of the Luxemburg treaty resulting therefrom, was very much like the Conference itself, little more than an exchange of complimentary felicitations. Lord RUSSELL, who rose to " call attention " to the papers of the Conference, expressed a frank and generous approval of the course of action which had been pursued by the representative of Eng land, and characterised the conduct of the SECRE TARY for FOREIGN AFFAIRS throughout that sudden and perilous crisis, in terms which Lord DERBY acknowledged with " grateful thanks." All the succeeding speakers began and ended their slight but penetrating criticisms on the somewhat vague purport and fluctuating value of what in diplomatic language is called a " col " lectivo guarantee," with a warm recognition of the services which our FOREIGN MINISTER had ren dered to the general interests of European peace by the firmness and sagacity of his judgment and conduct in a position of no ordinary delicacy and difficulty, and demanding no ordinary courage and circumspection. There was not a single speaker in the Upper House last evening, nor can we suppose that there would be a single speaker in the House of Commons, who would refuse to Lord STANLEY this honourable compen sation for whatever anxieties he may have suffered in assuming with " reluctance" the responsibility of arresting and averting an imminent war by committing the name and the honour of his country to responsi bilities more apparent than real perhaps, yet sufficient to constitute an act of moral interven tion, and to close that era of absolute isolation from the affairs of the Continent which some who love peace not wisely, but with a selfish pas sion, would fain have prescribed as the duty and destiny of Great Britain. If there was any divergence of opinion among the noble lords last evening it was not on the merits of the FOREIGN Sseasraae. Lord HOUGHTON, who was in Paris when the Conference was sit ting in London, has come back with a more vivid impression of the " serious re " sponsibilities" we have undertaken, than most people on this side of the water are able to perceive in the text of the treaty, or in the protocols of the Conference. But any one at all familiar with the tone and talk of political circles in Paris will easily detect in Lord Houneroe's remarks the mingled echoes of official and liberal French salons, both desirous, for moons of their own, of enlarging the impor tance of the Luxemburg question, and the ride of England in persuading Prussia to accept a settle ment of it in harmony with the " just susceptibili "ties" of France. The distance from London to Paris magnifies considerably the proportions of English policy, and it is only natural that Lord HOUGHTON'S sympathetic and impressionable tem perament should unconsciously have caught a somewhat composite and artificial manner of thinking on these matters from the causeries of M. Roue Ka and his colleagues, or M. TRIERS and his disciples. At any rate, the serious re sponsibility which Lord HOUGHTON discovers in our seventh part of a collective guarantee fades away into an airy nothing in Lord DERBY'S explana tions. And we hasten to add that Lord DERBY'S explanations are in strict accordance with the letter of the treaty and the text of the protocols. No doubt the Duke of ARGYLL reduced a solemn figment to the dimensions of a re spectable " farce," when with! pitiless logic he demonstrated that a collective guarantee, which bound all the Powers signing parties to it or none, was only good as against an infringement of it by a Power not a signing party ; or in other words, that if Prussia, a signing party, or France, a signing party, should break the treaty, the " col " lective guarantee " would be waste paper. There is no disputing this reductio ad absurdum, and there was no attempt to dispute it last even ing. Lord GRANVILLE, indeed, with a not un kindly irony, asked how the extreme " reluctance" with which Lord STANLEY had consented, at the instance of the Prussian Plenipotentiary, to place the principle of neutrality of Luxemburg, stipu lated by Article 11. of the Treaty, under the sanc tion of the collective guarantee of the Powers, was to be reconciled with his own and Lord DERBY'S interpretation of the collective guarantee, as re ducing rather than extending the liabilities which the British Government had undertaken under the Treaties of April, 1839. This was a " palpable hit," but It was very harmless sword play. It is abundantly clear from the text of the present treaty and the pro tocols that Lord STANLEY'S reluctance was not founded on any misconception of the essential differ ence between a collective guarantee and a joint and several guarantee, or of the precise nature and extent of the guarantees of the independent* and I neutrality of Belgium, and the possession of the territory of Luxemburg to the King Grand Duke, to which England was a signing party in 1839. The FOREIIiN S..I:II.I:TARY'I4 reluctance was nothing more or less than a conscientious and ho nourable susceptibility on the part of a statesman conversant with the public feeling and opinion of his countrymen, and sincerely anxious not to misrepresent or transgress it, • though in form only, not in substance. Thus far at least Lord STANLEY is fully entitled to the universal commendation his policy has re ceived. Nor do his merits as an English statesman suffer from the fact—which as journalists at liberty to look below the surface of official politics we need nut dissemble—that if the honour of each of the signing parties to the Treaty, and especially of France and Prussia, has not a value equal to that of a collective guarantee, the Treaty itself is worth no more against the chances of European war than the last " compartment" of a steamer against a sea that has broken her rudder, torn away her bulwarks, crippled her engines, and flooded out her tires. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1867. has acted with discretion and forbearance in declining to join Amnia, France, Prussia, and Italy in the " identie" note said to have been sent to the Porte. The Ottoman Heel being unequal to the task of establishing an efficient blockade on the coast of Crete, the drawn game is still being played out, with every prospect of indefinite continuance. The emancipation of the island and its aneexation to the Hellenic kingdom was most desirable ten months ago, and the loss of time will be found irreparable for the Ottoman government. The success of Hellenic sympathisers in the island will call forth new exertions on the main land, and province after province will be up in arms. The mines which Russian agents have long been lay ing on the Danube will be ready for explosion, and France having now been enlisted by Russia, the pressure on the Ottoman comes from the west no less than from the north. From the combination of so large a number of European Powers against Turkey, Eng land hitherto, and more lately also Austria, have shown a decided disposition to keep aloof. The course hitherto pursued by Lord Stanley has been in every respect worthy of a straightforward diplomatist. He has known how to distinguish between friendly suggestions and absolute inti mations. The Times does not see what could be gained at the present moment either for Great Britain or for Turkey by following a different policy. Had we even the right or the inclination to impose our opinion on a friendly govern ment, and to exercise an undue pressure upon it, it would bo difficult to say what Turkey might gain in her present straits, even by the readiest submission and the most un conditional surrender.

E. Gladstone, M.P., presided at the annual distribution of prises to the students of Dulwich College who had been successful in the various competitions of the pest session. The cere- mony took place in the picture gallery of the institution, which was crowded by a numerous audience of ladies and gentlemen, the friends of the pupils, as usual on such occasions, constituting a majority of the visitors. On Wednesday the marriage was celebrated, at Onslow-square, Brampton, of Mr. Leslie Stephen, of the Inner Temple, second son of the late Sir James Stephen, K.C.8., to Harriet Marion, daughter of the late Mr. W. M. Thackeray. THE OXFORD PROFESSORSHIP OF POETRY. ORFORD, Jolla 20.—A convocation was held to-day at 12 o'clock for the purpose of electing a professor of poetry in the room of Matthew Arnold, M.A., of Oriel College. There were three candidates for the vacant office—viz., the Rev. Dr. Kynaston, late student of Christ Church ; Sir F. H. Doyle, late fellow of All Souls ; and the Very Rev. W. Alexander, Dean of Emly, ALA., of Brasensee College. A large number of non-residents, especially from London, at tended and recorded their votes. At the close of the poll the numbers were found to be as follows :—For Sir F. Doyle, 2401 ; for Dr. Kynaston, 203 ; for Dean Alexander, 203. Sir F. Doyle was consequently elected. - - THE Housa or LORDS. —The following notices stand on the order book of the House of Lords for this evening :—" The Earl of Shaftesbury—To move that a select committee be appointed to inquire into the expediency of making such arrangements as shall enable the house to meet at 4 o'clock instead of 5 o'clock for the despatch of business. The Earl Granville—To move the following ad dition to the motion of the Earl of Shaftesbury :—' And to consider what further changes may be desirable for the better transaction of the business of the house.' The Earl of Carnarvon—To move the following further addition to the motion of the Earl of Shaftesbury :—• Also to con sider whether any and what arrangements can be made to remedy the present defective constructive of the house in reference to hearing.' " The government, it will be seen, were eupported by the votes of some of the original Adallamitee—ramely, Major Aueon, Lord E. Bruce, Mr. W. B. Beaumont, Mr. F. Doulton, Lord Echo, Earl Grosvenor, and Mr. G. Heath cote. The only other liberals who voted for the clause were Lord J. Browne, Mr. H. Lebow:here, Mr. C. R. Talbot, and Mr. J. Wyld. " The presence of their Austrian Majesties in France," says the Independence Beige, " will coincide with that of the Sultan, and even, if we may believe • Vienna journal, with that of Victor Emmanuel. This re- conciliation, in some sort personal, completing that of Italy with Austria, will, however, not take place until after the visit of Prince Humbert to Vienna. As to the meeting between the Emperor Francis Joseph and the Sultan, it is so positive that the l►tter has already been informed of it in the most obliging terms by his Austrian Majesty himself." . . Three conservatives voted in the majority against the clause. .They were Mr. W. H. Barrow, Mr. Henley, and Mr. Newdeirate. _ _ The fainring members, who were prominent among the Adel? mites fast session—Capt. Hoyter, Mr. Homan, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Gregory, Sir F. Goldemid, Mr, Akroyd, Lord Dttekellin, Mr. Foley, Lord Grosvenor, Mr. Ling, Mr. M'Evoy, Mr. ?deckle, Mr. Pim, Mr. Pritcdterd, Mr. Stock, and Mr. Tracey voted nein* the government. Madame Olympe Audouard had applied at Paris for authorisation to transform the Meese Comoro/de, which she direzts, into a political journal. The Minister of the Interior replied that it was legally impossible for him to accede to the request, by reason "that Article of the organic decree of the 17th February, 1852, stipulates formally that the preliminary authorisation cannot be accorded except to a Frenchman of full age, enjoying his she and political rights." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (aeorta'a AMERICA. The Royal Mail steamship Scotia, from New York on the 12th inst., arrived at Queenstown at 12.30 a.m. to-day (June 21), with 241 cabin pas sengers and 1,118,451 dole. in specie. She landed 70 passengers and all the mails, except those for Liverpool and Scotland, and proceeded at 1 a.m. All well. NEW YORK, Jura 12, MOWING. Governor Wells refused to surrender the archives of Louisiana to Mr. Flanders, whereupon General Sheridan sent his staff officer with instructions forcibly to eject Governor Wells, who surrendered his office under protest, and Mr. Flanders assumed the duties of governor. The Texas legislature have abolished the two judicial districts, the judges of which were strong union men. General Sheridan nullified the act, and reinstated the judged'.

The district attorney has challenged the jurors sum moned on Surratt's trial on the ground that they Lad been illegally chosen. He stated that the majority of them, like Surratt, were Roman catholic.. Surratt'e council, on the other hand, urged that most of the witnesses against the prisoner were also Romaniats, and that if the petit jury were illegally ch..sen so also was the grand jury, and the prisoner was therefore entitled to his discharge. The judge reserved his decision. ♦dvises received here from Mexico state that Lopez betrayed the principal fort of Queretaro into the hands of Escohedo for 1,000 ounces of gold.

Previous to the surrender the Emperor Maximilian was complimented by the imperialist officers for bravery under fire and se➢f-denial during the campaign. It is reported, on doubtful authority, that Maximilian had issued a proclamation charging the Emperor Napoleon with cowardice and infamy in deserting him, and recom mending all ambitious and incautious princes to consider his fate, and advising the Mexicans to ennoble their cause with virtue.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVZNIPO. The government has taken a highly characteristic course to settle the question of the prorogation without rasing the liberal measures. Knowing that the majority which was returned upon prin ciples diametrically opposite to those of January 19 will do everything it can to evade the realisation of the Emperor's promises, the device is to leave it to the Chamber, out of deference to its prero gatives, to fix its own order of the day. The oppo sition will make an ineffectual protest to-morrow, and then the bills will be shelved. The important signature " Bonifaoe " is used in the Conotitutionne/ to contradict the report that M. Hollander, the editor of the Situation, is the head of an office in the Ministry of the Interior. He resigned the post he once had there a year and a half ago. M. Bonif ace does not state that the post he did hold was in the bureau of censorship of the press, and that he was not dismissed but resigned on account of his health. In that position he must have had the best opportunities of knowing what is pleasing to the French government ; and inasmuch as his principal associate is M. Grenier, lately editor of the Pays, it is not likely, although the Situation is said to be the special organ of Hanoverian interests, that its daily abuse of Prussia and everything Prussian, and its preaching that Waterloo remains to be revenged upon Prus sia, can be otherwise than favourably winked at by the Tuileries. I am sorry to see the announcement in the Mani tear that the Persian ambassador, Hassan Ali Khan, has presented letters of recall to the Emperor. Failing health is the cause of his resignation of a post which ho has twice filled with the utmost credit to himself and with great advantage to his country. One of the most influential men in Persia, he thoroughly understands Western civilisation, and has given his own government the benefit of his acute obeervationduringhiaresidence inEurope. He left this embassy three years ago because he thought his presence might be useful at home; and he was re-appointed to it at his own request last autumn because Paris is the city of his predilection, and because he wished again to cultivate Euro pean friendships and renew his study of European life. His departure will be greatly regretted by the corps diplomatique and a very large circle of Parisian society. It is rumoured that Count de Goltz, the Prussian ambassador here, is likely to be replaced by Prince do Reuss, now ambassador at St. Petersburg. Prince de Reuss was formerly, and for a long time, first secretary of legation at the Prussian embassy in Paris. The Figaro takes upon itself to announce that Queen Victoria will arrive in Paris on Saturday next, but most strictly incog. Six horses belonging to the Emperor of Austria, and intended for his personal use when he comes, have preceded him to Paris. The Bourse was again firm, and business was more active than yesterday. Route rose 15'c. for cash, and 12}c. for account, closing at 69fr. 60c. and 69fr. 62ic. Mobilier rose 7fr. 60c., and Italian 35c. The result of the late elections in Belgium is considered by the liberal journals as a defeat for the ministry. The Jeered de Charleroi says :—" The Senate contained 37 liberal, and 25 embolic,. It has now 33 of the former and 29 of the latter ; consequently, the liberal party has lost four votes in the Senate. Out of 32 sena tors who had to be re-elected, and of whom 19 were liberal end 13 catholic, the former only obtained the re turn of 15 candidates, while of the latter 17 were elected. The cAtholies have thus been the gainers. Their adver saries have suffered all the losses and have not obtained a single advantage. Whatever may be said, this result is unfavourable to the liberals."

To our contemporary the argu ments in favour of voting papers would be unanswerable if we could have any sufficient security that they would be honestly used ; hut the very consideration which justifies them io university elections furnishes a conclusive reason for rejecting their use elsewhere. We should not only he without a guarantee that th • resulted an election represented the free choice of the electors ; all experience tells us we should have positive grounds for believing the contrary. If voting papers would destroy the power of a crowd over an elector, they would add indefinitely to the power of individuals. The intimidation of a landlord or an employer, practised probably through an agent, would be legalised. A man's agent mie.t collect votes as he collects rents, and many a county election would be determined by a com parison of lists of tenants. The facilities which voting papers would afford to bribery are also evident. Mr. Disraeli's offer to allow their use to be restricted at the outset to county elections was too plainly consistent with his dominant conception of making the counties the stronghold of the conservative party, to find favour with the committee. The Daily Nexa quotes Sir Roundsll Palmer and Mt. Denman to show that even under the peculiar circum stances of university elections the use of voting papers has been by no moans unequivocally succenful. The plan would give to coercion the aid of secrecy and the sanction of law, and would deny to the consciences of dependent voters such pool protection as they now derive from pub licity and n:,toriety. In a phrase as damning as the adverse arguments of the opponents of the clause, Lord Cranborne recommended it on the plea that it would make the magistrate's drawing-room the place of polling. Again, as to faggot ewe+, the law at present requires that the elector should vote in person for each qualification, and this check, their multiplicalon ; but with voting papers every qualification will be turned to account, and men without an acre of land, or four walls and a roof really their own, would speedily be provided with as many faggot votes as might be required fur the purposes of their patron or their party. The machinery would be open to the easiest abuse, and a collection of voting papers would soon become an electioneering trade, rivalling, and perhaps dwarfing, even the extravagant cost of the present system. The govern ment have been rescued by their adversaries from a gross absurdity ; and the country has been saved from a con siderable danger. The bill is fast losing all the features which might at one time have enabled Mr. Disraeli to claim its authorship. He has furnished the clay, but the opposition are the potters. In condemning the government proposal, the Post says that one argument alone would have sufficed to satisfy the house in the matter, namely, that, whereas the briber under the present condition of things has nothing but the promise of the Toter itat the bribe will be fairly earned— • promise not unfrequently broken—if the proposed change was effected, the money would only be paid on the receipt of the voting paper duly executed in favour of a particular candidate. The Herald observes that the vital part of the govern. meat Bill, in which no alteration could be tolerated, is the rating household franchise. The remainder, in com parison with it, is but as the husk or rind which surrounds the kernel, which, if removed, mry grow again some day, and is but of small consequence beside that great change which was to place the electoral system of the country on the firm basis guaranteed in the old constitution. The Herald hu no doubt that permissive voting in writing will ere long become the law of the land. The Standard taxes Sir Roundell Palmer, Mr. Glad stone, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Torrene with nothing but ',garnets to exclude the votes of the educated, the quiet, the sensible, and the moderate. All the solicitude for the interests, the liberty, the morals of the poor, wee mere Pharisaic pretence ; all the alarm about facilitating bribery and intimidation a ridiculous affectation. THI REVELATIONS AT The evidence of ye.terday, including the confession of Broadhead, puts beyond the reach of denial, remarks the Times, the fact that Linley was shot according to a dis tinct agreement between the secretary of a union and two of his agents —an agreement as plain, as business-like, and as strictly executed as any trade contract. It will be no ticed there was no halite or heat either in the agree ment itself or in its execution, and that the sole object of the murder was to maintain the union. Broadhead is as explicit upon this point as the two others. " The whole ground they had fur shooting Dulay was for having six apprentices, and for ruining the trade." To these men the trade and Ihe union constitute the whole of their world, and an arbitrary code of trade rules is sub stituted for every law, human and divine. Many a murder for which the murderer has been hung is leas heinous than the act for which these three ruffians will claim an indemnification from the commissioners. Of course if they fulfil the conditions on which it is granted, they must receive it, though it is impossible not to feel • certain regret that one at least of the three should not vindicate in his person the majesty of the law. The Herald refuses to believe, until it is forced to do so, that murder is a recognised mode of vengeance in trade unions as a rule throughout the country ; but, it adds, when it finds that in the case of Sheffield brutal violence, equally with robbery, are the ordinary expedients for en forcing the rules of the local unions, the extremity of physical repression which takes the form of murder is but the logical devel pinent of the system. Unless the work ing-class witnesses have been guilty of the grossest per jury the amount of violence employed is • mere question of degree. The Telegraph protests against the unharness, of re. garding the whole of the Sheffield trade unionists as re sponsible for this crime ; and protests not less earnestly against the even grosser unfairness of regarding the trade unionists throughout England as responsible for those of Sheffield. The workmen of that place have long been notorious for • roughness and recklessness hardly to be paralleled elsewhere. The Telegraph will be grievously disappointed if the workmen of the great manufacturing towns content themselves with disapproving such outrages in silence. If the leaders of the unions shirk the duty, the workmen must undertake it themselves—must exone rate themselves in the eyes of their fellow countrymen from even the shadow of suspicion that they can tolerate robbery and murder as means of ensuring unanimity and obedience among the members of a trade. The Star also exclaims against the assumption that • course of this kind is to betaken as evidence of the general character, or even the general tendency, of trades' unions. Long before a word bad been heard of this we all knew how very exceptional were in many respect. the trade societies of Sheffield ; what an odd leaven of roughness and ferocity there was about them ; how they bad been for generations di►tinguished by their aggressive and passionate character.
