THE MONETAEY CONVENTION. PARIS, JAN. 24. The Greek government has definitively declared its aeomeaien to the Monetary Convention con cluded between France, Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland. The Rapes:lance Belie.sisys :—" The existence of a fresh French circula r intended to resuscitate the still-born project of the Conference has been dis puted in Paris. Our Berlin correspondent, who first mentioned it to us, maintains that this cir cular exists, and that it bears the date of the 24th December. In this document ,the cabinet of the Tuileries, in acknowledging the acceptance in prin ciple of its proposition, intimates, it is said, that time and circumstances will remove the difficulties which the realisation of this idea still meets with. It proposes, moreover to revert to it when the negotiations between Italy and the Holy See have led to a favourable result. Of a truth the French government would not risk much in subordinating these fresh efforts to the preliminary understanding of the Pope and the Florence government, unless it should really think of obtaining that result by a very violent ; pressure exerted upon the Italian cabinet in con cart with Prussia." Upon the same subject the Nord says : Everybody had forgotten all about the Conformation the affairs of Rome; the Cologne Gazette is plowed to resusci tate this question, which at . the least isinsigertums ander presoak eiresmeleaess. Its Berlin epitomisation& mations • cirouLir of the ?remit eshinst dated Dec. *4. in tended, he eye, to declare to the powers that the moment L not propitious for continuing the undartaldng, but that e note has been taken in Paris of the observations made i and of the commit given in principle. We fancy the cor respondent of the Gazette has mistaken the character and veritable bearing of this document, if It really exists. For ourselves, we see in it nothing but a funeral oration, the terms of which do not even corneal the abandonment of the conference project, while indicating that the cabinet of Paris awaits from the future the solution it wished to hasten with the asaistanoe of Europe.

I ru 10.26 SPEECH PROW THE THRONE. STOCKHOLM, Jee. 18. The King opened the Swedish Diet yesterday with the following speech from the throne : I warmly appreciate at this moment the proscription re cently introduced into the fundamental-law, by which, without delay that hoe hitherto prevailed . I see you again arembled around me, to participate with me in the mercer suitable to Nouns the welfue of the country. My rehires with all fret Powers eentinne to be and thereeterind sincere friendship- _The ge mt ir t erl ai Pi 'l lioal situation, and together displayed in almost all the countries es Europe in the augmentation of their armed form, however, impair woe us equally the duty of organising our means of defence in conformity with the requirements of the age. The =area* inerering melliplisity of administra tive affairs gives rise to the want el • mere appropriate distribution of sub is to be referred to the council, eve cislly if it is intan to the a desirable simplification of the preparers, labours in subordinate branches of the administration. I have cothequently &itemised to WM":to you a change in the reetitatioa, by mesas of new ministerial department for agrioultere, nada, and public works would be instituted, with other prescrip tions relating thereto. The mixed commission for the revision of the Act of Union between Sweden and Norway has submitted its im labours to ma, Lathe bill it has drawn up iv the subject of preparatory deliberettoe. • bathed of low average quantity, and absolutely knit- Meet in the northern provinces of the kingdom, has pre dated considerable scarcity in the means of prime neresity, threatening even the existence of the poster classes of the population. I hare sought to dome to their assistance by employing the funds you had placed at my disposal, and private benevolenoe, not only in the runny itself, land among • neighbouring people, but also in= lands, bee generously hastened to recour the die Notwithstanding the difficulties which unforeseen ex penses and the diminution of revenue, resulting from the descents of provisions, have not failed to predate, the general position of the fineness neverthelem enables the abolition, after next year, of the special tax which you voted at the last diet for the armament of our military fames, without any increase of the other taxes becoming nearesty to meet the wants of the State. The decrease in revenue which, owing to the circumstances I have pointed out, it has been impossible to avoid In the current yrs, can be supplied, in part, from disposable funds, end could have been made good altogether if the surplusage of preseding years had not been absorbed by our requiring for thseenstmetion of railways sums exceeding the total of the contracted for that purpose. I have not ceased to devote active solicitude to the ;aeration of of our means of defence, and I hope to be able in the course of this session to lay before you the plan up= which I think they ought to be based and established. Staglang from the principle, also expressed by yourselves, that it is the duty of every citizen to take part in the defence of his native land, I have in conformity with your ceders,and with the view of alleviating the eserifices which resell from this general duty in time of peace, ado p~srvattpted the on of pormaninit end well-drilled cadres tof oral the araMos of our army. As the result of mature deliberation I Dave found that cadres in every respect satisfactory, with thereat sensible expense, and without hurtful injustice, might be most suitably formed upon the basis of the ol d astianal institutions, especial to our country and adopted in ear customs. Part of my plan, therefore, consists in retaining them In their fundamental principl es, while pro mob. to introduce into them useful reforms. With the object of furnishing our troops with firearms of improved construction, I bare adopted measures which, I although the supply of the orders sent abroad has been subject to unexpeeted delay, have nevertheless given satisfactory assumce of uninterrupted manufacture of these arms in the country itself. The bills for changes in important branches of legisla tion, and for the more equitable ;Retribution of taxation, which have long been under consideration, are not yet sufficiently matured to enable them to be laid you • pro for beL . r . e .i yon. I have, however, resolved to submit to the abolition of imprisonment in the car of n 1 fide debtors. I shall ask of you supplies for public works, especially with the object of coming immediately to aid the provinces, where the employment of labour also offers the advantage of wiring a large number of distressed parsons d I shall also ask your support for the vote of th; and feeds necessary to an active continuance of the railway works required to canner the capitals of the united kingdom. Sweden hen worthily maintained her rank by the side of the countries which march at the head of the development of peaceful occupations at the general industrial competi tion opened at Paris in the course of the pest year. So far as statistics have been able to register the progress of our trade, it has not ceased to acquire progressive exten sion, notwithstanding the difficulties against which manu facturers have had to struggle in recent years. Taking our stand upon this feet, and upon the multiplied indications denoting that the Swedish people continue' to place itself upon the most assured bests of economic independence— that, namely, of proportioning wants to resource', and of renouncing expenses neither indispensable nor justifiable— we are Able to look forward to the future with the full conviction that the vicissitudes to which we have been exposed will have taught us salutary lessons, and that they will thus become the source, not of discouragement or prortration of forces, but of their new development for solid prosperity. Convinced of your enlightened zeal for everything that may secure the public; welfare, I invoke the blessings of Divine Providence upon your labour. ; sad while declar ing, in conformity with the constitution. the session to be now opened, I renew to you, gentlemen, the assurance of my entire goodwill and royal affection.

FLORENCK, 'Us. 24, EVINING. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, Signor Cadorna, the Minister of the Interior, in re ply to the interpellation made by Signor Villa yes terday respecting the appointment of the Marquis Gualterio to the post of Minister of the Royal Household, said that the ministry could not accept the interpellation, as, according to article 76 of the constitution, the appointment was an act of the King, beyond the control of the government and of the parliament. He, therefore, hoped that Signor Villa would with draw his interpellation. Signor Villa insisted upon his right to make the interpellation, as the nomination was countersigned by one of the ministers. Signor Villa quoted the example of England, where the parliament had the right of controlling all the branches of the civil list. Signor Cadorna maintained the views he had already expressed, and after a stormy debate the Chamber approved a motion for the close of the discussion. Signor Villa finally withdrew his motion, in order to leave the question unpre- judiced. The Chamber then resumed the discussion on the revenue budget for 1868. I Signor Depretis, member of the committee, said ' that there were some inaccuracies in the calcula- tions returned. 1 Signor Cembray Digny, the Minister of Finance, !

GLADSTONE AND THE TRADES UNIONISTS. — Lest night an adjourned meeting of trades' delegates, con vened by the London Working Men's Aseociatioe,was held at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey, under the presidency of Mr. G. Potter, for the purpose of furthering the steps which are being taken to appoint a deputation to wait upon Mr. Gladstone in reference to the remarks made by the right liouentleman on the subject of trade* =OIL, in the sp which he recently delivered at Oldham. The Chairman in opening the proceedings, remarked that their previous meeting had excited considerable interest throughout the country, and that the mouse which they intended to pursue had been generally approved of by writers in the press and men of known eminence. It wee now certainly time to remove the animosities, prejudices, and erroneous opinions which prevailed with regard to the societies to which they were attached. During the past two years they had received such en amount of abuse and met with such misrepresentation that the interview which they now sought was highly important and desir able, helping, as it would, to dsabuse the public mind of the opinion expressed on trades unions. After dealing serinlice with the chargesmade against trades unions,Mr. Potter coucludedby reading the following com munications:—•' 10, Bolt-court,,Fleetestreet, London, Jan. 16.—Dear Sir, I am instructed: by the delegate meet ing held on Tu esday evening, 14th instant, which was very numerocaly attended, to forward to you a copy of the report of their proceedings, and to rerpratfully inform you that they have appointed a deputation to wait upon you for the purpose of conversing with you upon the actions and principles of trade unions as criticised by you at Old bam. I am further instructed to say that the m . stands adjourned until Friday, the 24th inst, N na that the delegates will feel obliged if you will kindly inform me, previous to that date, what day it will be convenient for you to receive them. Will you kindly allow me to suggest that the day ap pointed for the interview should be pervious to the reassembling of parliement, as we shell be more likely to secure a fuller report of the proceedings tbe daily papers.—l ain sir, yours obedienrdy, °gown Perin!. R' ht Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P." " Hawerden, Jan.l7 —Dar Sir,—l fear from the enclosure in your letter that there may have been inia.e slight misunderstanding be tween ac. and that what I contemplate had better be fuither explained. My object is to inform myself, and this can only be done in a conversational interview with a few persons. I would name six or eight at the outside, and if you will kindly procure a selection to be made of such persons as are themselves heat informed about the feats se well a the principles of trades anions, I am awe I shall profit greatly by the meeting. I could not name an earlier day for it than Tuesday, Feb. 19, but I have not the least objection to the presence of a reporter if you desire it, and Ido not think the parliamentary columns will by that time be very full. I propose half -past two as tho hour, and I remain your faithful servant, W. E. Gun- STONE. —Mr. George Putter." After a long discussion, II delegates, whose number it is proposed shall be reduced to eight, were appointed in accordance with the suggestion oontained in Mr. illadstone's letter.

After our report left yesterday, Mr. HARRY CHICIMER moved the next resolution as follows .—" That in such measure u may be desirable fee the general provision of the mean. of Mildest primary and secondary education it would be right to consolidate and improve, rather than overthrow, what has already been done but that the voluntary principle requires to be supkmented by load rates for education." He said tram 10, to 15,000 of the beet primary schools in this country had been establiabed, and were now existing under the voluntary priociple, which, although a good servant, was not • toed meter. The Hon. W. Cowexa, in seconding the motion, said the promoters of this eoeferenoe had a great uDuti f in hand when they attempted to render the elin the country more suitable to the knowledge of the age, and more adapted to the wants of the time. Some winvenation here took place on a point of order, and the resolatien was earried, it was mid, with two or three dimentients. The llov. Mr. Lein moved the next !delude°. which this all children between certain ages employed rr c e s raterstive lobed of a certain character should mains education at certain hours. (The motion, as after wards altered, is risen below.) The thin edit of the wedge of oompuldci should be introduced somewhere, in face of the fad that one half el the children of the country did not reesivaApythlog worthy of the name of education. lie did not, hoiriver, advocate direct compulsion, believ thah such an object would stand no chance Mr. Lwow° BRADY mended the resehtles. Mr. Timitwtee SAUNDIRS, feeling that the opinion of the conference had not been sueleiently evoked, moved the fellow*::—" That, to secure the benefits of practical in struction for all classes in the various pursuits of life, end to provide far a wise adaptation of schools to the general wean sad personal incidents of national training, it is ne cessary to place all universities, colleges, and schools — technical, upper, middle, and privy—under the super vision and *panel of a Minister of State, reeponeible to the crown and parliament ; that the various °Mends, con ductors, and teachers of every grade, should be constituted as a branch of she public service ; be appointed by the Minister of State, and through that authority derive those advantages of promotion, bonoura, end rewards, which are found to be eseential in other professions. That attention to hod interests be seemed by the contributions and superintendence of the rate-paying public, in counties, townships, and boroughs. That, besides contributions from local rates and the fees of students, the revenues of the department be provided from the property now in pos session of the universities, colleges, foundation schoola,snd other funds of the like nature, with such further sums as parliament may veto for the purpose." (Cheers.) This amendment was not seconded, although it appeared to have been received with considerable favour. hlr.Comirr.a said he agreed with mach that Mr. Saunders had proposed, but was not prepared to support its being formally brought forward at the present time. He was quite ready at the proper moment to vote for the appoint. went of a minister of public instruction. The question before the conference now was whether the educational clauses of the Factory Acts should not be carried further than they had yet gone. The principle of corn 'mignon appeared to be unpopular and unpleasant— (no, no)--and in applying it they should be very careful to see that perfect justice and equality were rendered, so se to show they were not legislating for the rich against the poor. From the communications he had had with working men, he was convinced that they were becoming mere and more favourable to a compulsory education, and if our present House of Commons had not yet been able to pluck up heart of grace, they had better do ao, and however cautious they were disposed to be, they should at least lay down the broad principle which the conference had agreed to. The speaker concluded by moving an altera tion in the motion by which its provisions should be ex tended to all children. A long conversation then took place upon the verbal Armature of the motion, In which Sir J. Kay Shuttle worth, Mr. (todwin, Mr. Chester, Sir W. Stirling, Dr. Ellis, and others, took part. MT. PATTERSON, a working man, urged that where ever bond file technical education was offered the working men, indeed of neglecting it as was alleged, appreciat ed it, and paid for the on of it. Mr. CONNOLLY (o the Reform League) said the working men the **matey were prepared to submit to any far endow one of them, he supported the motion. r jrt of li a itr. Bruce was as an educational authority, he was not much of an agitator—(chears) — elso be would nos be afraid of compulsion at wee. Mr. Connolly enforced his views so eloquently that the oonference—professore, members of parliament, clergyman, and manufacturers — cheered him as much as they had done Earl Russell the day before. The CHAIRMAN mid Mr. Connolly was one of tbe per sons sent to Paris to prepare a report upon one breech of the exhibition, and that report reflected alike credit on his intelligence and his feelings as a loyal English. man. The resolution as amended by Mr. Chester, end contain ing an alteration of "as early as possible" instead of " now," suggested by iiir J. K. Shuttieworth, was pared minnows " That while this conference acknowledges the benefits which have ensued from the educational clauses of the Factory Acts, it is of opinion that the legislature ought, as soon as possible, to provide that all children between certain ages, and not merely those employed in remunera tive labour of a certain charactim, should receive educa tion during at least a minimum number of hours in emit year. security being taken that the education be conduct ed in efficient schools." Oa the motion of Mr. fil•fineixoN, seconded by the Rev. H. SOLLY, the following motion was next passed : " That the council of this society be requested to appoint a standing committee to take each steps ae may give tiled to tbe foregoing resolutions to support all such well advised schemes for technical ' education as may be brought before it, to send such deputations to the government as may seem expedient, and to re-assemble this conference when desirable." On the motion of Mr. Becce, M.P., seconded by Alder man BALOMONS, M.P., a cordial vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the conference was brought to • does. TR!, hien Cat= meeting upon this que stion took place last night at th e Leetum-hall, Green wich. Mr. John Bennett, F.R.S.A., presided, supported by Mr. Mason Jones, Mr. B. Langley, Ike. A. King, Rey. B. Davies, fie. The chairmaa said the Irish church was one of a series of great abuses which, with the completion of the popular power, would now have to be dealt with. The condition of Ireland was such that unless the people were to be driven out of the country, something mast at once be done to rectify existing abuses—at the head of which he did not hesitate to place the Irish church. It was adverse to every principle of religious liberty for it was not merely a spiritual establishment, but an sawn &my hostile to the best interests of the people. He be laved they might rely upon their metropolitan members to take the lead in end give the right toss to t he discus. Son of this subject, in which he believed the country generally to be deeply interested. The meeting was then addressed by Br. Mason Jams, whose speech elicited frequent bursts of applause. He was followed by otter gentlemen upon a resolution adopting • petition to paths meet, end a rota of thanks to the chairman brought the proceedings es a clew. DRAM or DR.
