To.notutoW Morning, lb. Am.... Afternoon, lb. 24m. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. A LIBERAL French contemporary has rammed up in a few words the impression made on Europe by the Franco-Italian Treaty. " England," says the Mats, " applauds it ; Austria is alarmed ; " and at Berlin and St. Petersburg they hold " their tongues." The English people are certainly most anxious to find in the treaty stipulations on which they may congratulate Italy ; and they hope they shall find them. But at present it would be premature to say that we see our way en tirely to applaud all its arrangements. The diffi culty of forming a judgment upon it arises, not only from the absence of the text, but from the various and opposite accounts given at Paris and Turin both of its contents and of the spirit and intention with which it has been entered into by France. All turns upon the inducement by which the Italian Government has been led to fix its seat at Florence. The Opinione of Turin has represented this transfer as a provisional and temporary measure designed to prepare the way for a further and final removal to Rome. But some of the semi-official French journals peremptorily reject the suggestion, and declare that nothing abort of a full and definitive renunciation of Rome as the capital of Italy has satisfied the exigencies of the Ku rzaos's policy. We are assured by the Memorial Diplornatique that "the policy of France being "unchangeable," that of Italy has necessarily been remodelled. The Italian Government has re nounced its "chimerical hopes." " The aban " donment of the impossible pretension of Italy " to the capital of the religious world was the " sine qua mon condition of a practical solution of " the Roman question. The Italian Govern "meat changes its capital in order to show publicly "and solemnly that it renounces Rome." Whether this be or be not true we shall probably not know before the meeting of the Italian Parliament. And perhaps then we shall get nothing but vague statements intended to evade rather than satisfy curiosity. The contracting governments are seve rally under the necessity of studying two opposing requirements of public opinion. The French EMPEROR wishes Catholic France to be lieve that he has secured the existence of the tem poral power, and Vic-roa EMMLNVRL his to con vince the people of Italy that the future of the nation has not been compromised. Thus neither of them can speak out very plainly for fear of damaging the situation of the other. It is possible, however, to attach too much im portance to the mere designs and intentions of the authors of the treaty. In politics it is better to look to the changes actually made, and consider what forces will operate under the new set of circum stances, than to regard exclusively the wishes and objects of their promoters. In 1815 the Allies affected to prescribe to the French nation the bounds within which it might choose its rulers. But by the time that the French people were in a position to elect a Sovereign from the prohibited family, the Powers which had undertaken to restrict their liberty discovered that they had no interest in giving effect to their earlier intentions. The people of Italy are now called to give a proof of their confidence in the strength and vitality of the cause of Italian unity. If they believe in that, they can hardly doubt that the withdrawal of the French garrison from Rome is for them an immense gain. It is true that the Pops may replace the French division by a larger army drawn from Bavaria, Switzerland, Ireland, and other Catholic con ntries,and that VICTOR Exuawrzr. pledges himsel f not to make the enlistment of foreign tr oo p, a as he did at Castelfidardo. But the POP; with en army which he will have to maintain out of the resources of his own treasury, will stand in a relation to the people of Rowe and Italy very ditrerent from that of a POPS sustained by a garrison which represents a foreign empire and a foreign policy, and which is really a division of an army of 1;00,000 men. And not only is the withdrawal of the French troops a concession to the principles of Italian unity and independen,e, but the terms of the treaty involve &recognition by the Pontifical Government of the Italian kingdom as enlarged by the acquisitions made in the Marches and Legations. It is true that the Roman Go- vernment has not at present engaged to con cede this recognition, but the assumption of a portion of the Papal debt by the Italian Go vernment strictly implies it ; and even the mere withdrawal of the French troops would seem to make the renewal of diplomatic intercourse between Rome and Turin a political necessity for the POPE. Under these circumstances, unless the Government of Vicroa EMMANUEL has actually and formally re nounced the right of the Italian nation to its capital, there is no reason why it should be called to repeat its claims at the present moment. The steadfast aim of every Italian Ministry is prescribed by the situation and necessities of the Italian people, and these have boon asserted most explicitly. Baron RICASOLCS reply to M. TnocvzszL's despatch re cognising the Italian kingdom expresses All test need be said on the matter :—" The de of of " M. Taouvram, relative to the Roman 'on "compel me to add some words on that head: 'Our " wish is to restore her glorious capital to Italy, but " our intention is to take away nothing from the "greatness of the Church or from the independence "of the august Chief of the Catholic religion. We "consequently hope s that the EMPISROR will be able "in good time to recall hie troops, without that mese " sure exciting amongst sincere Catholics apprehen "'ions which we should be the first to regret. " While leaving it to the high wisdom of the " E3rnntow to determine the moment at which Rome " may without danger be left to herself, we shall " always feel it our duty to facilitate this solution, "and we hope that the French Government will nos "refuse us its good offices in bringing the Court " of Rome to accept an agreement which would be " fertile in happy consequences for the future of " religion as well as for the fate of Italy."

At the last dates the Prince and Princess de Joinville, the Duke and Duchies d'Aumale, and the Prince de Conde are preparing to quit Constantinople for Smyrna. From thence they go to Corfu, Zante, and Athens. They will return to England through Italy, Switzerland, the bor ders of the Rhine, and Belgium. The Comte d'Eu, the see of the Due de Nemours, and his cousin, the Due du Base, are expected by the end of the month at Rio de Janeiro ; and, as marriages seem to be a necemary cause for travelling to foreign shores, the journals assert that the two princes are about to be united to the two daughters of the Emperor of the Brasile. The two sisters are stated to be remarkable for their beauty. The Epoca of Madrid states that the Queen_ Mother is to emirs at Madrid ois the 2sth or the 29th, coming by short stages, on account of her health. Her Majesty will remain for a week in the capital, and after wards proceed to the place where she intends to peas the winter. The Queen-Mother is to be accompanied on her journey by the Duke de Rim:area, M. Carriquiri, and the persons of her household. - The Prince and Princess Murat arrived at Con stantinople oa the 23rd as board the Cacique. The Empress of Russia having resolved to pass put of the winter at Nice, has had apartments engaged there for herself and suite. The Villa Bretnond and Villa Nino* with their dependences hare been taken foe her Majesty. " At the camp of Chiffons this year," says the Moe Wier. " each infantry regiment grew in its own garden about 40,000 cabbages, as well as potatoes, carrots, turnips, leeks, he., in similar proportions. In consequence of the favourable results which have attended this system, kitchen gardens for the supply of the troops are about to be formed is the principal garrison towns." It was lately mentioned that the Mexican ladies replaced diamonds in their coiffures and on their ball dresses, by the luminous rucujo, captured by lodises for their special adornment. The Paris Pr,a/r gives an sccount of these jewelled insects, ea of which arrived by the last Mexican steamer, and were consigned to the eminent naturalist. M. Psateur. At the last meeting of the Academy of Sciences experiment.; were made as to the light emitted and as analysis of its quality. It is proved to be sufficiently strong to admit of reading by the light of one ettrujo, which, although of the nature of that of the glow-worm, exceeds it in intensity and steadieer, casts so shadow, and has a slightly yellow tinge. Serious efforts are to be made to acclimatise and propagate these rewrru•bijostr. A novelty has just been started for the amuse ment of that section of the 02.601111 at Parla who delight is MISS time' barren. The new excitement is a Monsieur Christophe Deland, who departed this life A.D. 1721, and who, having been bur*.ed between strata of gnaws, is—now A.D. 1864—not only in a state of perfect preservation, bus rather good•lookiag to boot--giving one the impression that he probably made cooqueste in his day. He m►y be semi any day, from 12 to 4, in his glass coffin, at the shop of hi e fortunate proprietors, opposite the Porte SL Denis, for the moderate sum of 50c. THE COURT AT BALMORAL. —OD Saturday last her Majesty and her Royal Highness the Princess Helena, accompanied by the ladies io waiting—the Hon.

WgD.N, jakTiINT GEltiEt ti VIENNAAEg ON THE FRANCO INNAT Y. The Vienna journals continue to speak ia a very alarmed tone of the Franco-Italian Treaty. Who then," says the Wanderer, " has been threatening Italy that she all at once seems so concerned for the safety of her capital. Perhaps it ie Italy herself that is meditating an attack, and is desirous of tak ing early measures in view of the eventualities and vicissitudes of war." The Botwhafter writes in the saine strain—" We hear again," it says, " the old refrain, Austria is menacing Italy. We know well enough here that the last thing dreamt of by Aus tria is an aggressive war or a menace to any neigh bouring State. AU that we ask is to be left alone, and allowed to develops our internal resources." The New Free Press asks in an ironical tone "where the Austrian ambassadors at the Holy See and the Tuileries were when the treaty was negotiated." " God forbid," it continues, "that we should rep roach Prince Richard von Metternich with reposing in the beautiful chateau of Johannisberg after the fatigues of the baths of Tourville, and recruiting himself for the laborious hunts of Com piegne ; but it is still to be regretted that our ambas sador was absent from his post at the very moment when his presence was moat indispensable. We can also conceive the impatience of M. von Bach to re visit Vienna, where the journals are most friendly to him. After the weighty negotiations which he conducted with the court of Rome for a revision of the concordat, and the diplomatic skirmishing which he had with his French colleague he required a little distraction, but unhappily he selected the month of September, when the French Emperor was about to give a new impulse to the Italian question." The alarm of the New Free Press is equal to that of the Wanderer and Botschafter, f o r it says :—" The arrangements made between Paris and Turin are a challenge, the address of which is not in the least dubious. Austria is on the eve of new trials, and while there is yet time we ought to say to our statesmen—Careant conmtlei." Under the heading of the "Crisis at Rome and at Turin," the Augsburg Gacette has an article which calls upon Austria to give up the idea of a restoration in Italy. "The governments which have been overthrown," it says, "have done so much evil that the attempt to restore them would excite a cry of indignation throughout Europe. Whatever may be said of the rule of Victor Emmanuel and of French interference in Italy, it is in their favour that the previous state of things in that country was unendurable. As to the temporal sovereignty of the Pope, Germany and Austria have a vital interest in keeping away from Rome as far as possible, and in relaxing rather than tightening the bonds which connect us with her." (RE:RIZ% 11:11GRAMR.) THE FRANCO-ITALIAN CONVENTION. PARIS, SEPT. 28. The Constiturionne/ of this morning publishes an article signed by 51. Paulin Limayrac upon the Fran Italian Convention. The writer states that the convention assures to the Pope the indepen dence of his army and his financial arrangements. "The Pope," continues the writer, " could not refuse to swede to a convention without placing his enemies in the right. There is no secret under standing in the convention. Before the sth Sep tember a false state of things existed for all parties. Now matters have a true aspect for all, for Italy, who now has foreigners only at Venice, for the Pope, who re-enters the normal condition of his whole power, and for France, who, faithful to her self, will not have quitted Rome before having given to the Holy See guarantees against external dangers, and the means of insuring its security within." %IP :DAY EVENreli ITALY. TURIN, Sm. 28. The Gazette del Popolo publishes the text of the remonstrance addressed by the Turin municipality to the government, which says : "On the first announcement of the Franco-Italian convention the universal sentiment was one of sincere satisfaction, but, on learning the con ditions of the transfer of the capital, the people re membered the vote of the parliament proclaiming Rome as the capital of Italy. For the Turinese, as for the inhabitant/ of many other towns in Italy and abroad, the transfer of the capital signifies the renunciation of Rome. The Turinese have for a long time past sacrificed their material interests for the idea of Rome as the capital." A popular meeting has been held at Turin, at which an address was voted to the Syndic, express ing identical sentiments with those of the above address. EARL CLARENDON AT VIENNA. VIENNA, SKIT. 28. The Neue Freie Prase of to-day nays :—" Earl Clarendon has explained to Count Hochberg the necessity for bringing the peace negotiations to a speedy issue. He also advocated the early inauguration of the rule of the Duke of Augustenberg, who would be recognised by England. Earl Clarendon further ex plained that the Italian question urgently re quired a solution, and that should Austria form a northern alliance to oppose the latest movement of the Franco-Italian policy, England would not co operate with her, although the latter was ready to support Austria should she lean towards the policy of the Western Powers. "To these overtures the Austrian government reserved its reply." SPAIN. MADRID, SEPT. 27. Official despatches from Admiral Piozou an nounces the satisfactory state of the Spanish fleet in the Pacific. It is expected that the Progressist party will abandon their policy of abstaining from voting. THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Sarr. 28.

ASCENT AT BRUSSELS OR IL NADAR AND HIS GIANT BALLOON. The second avant of K Nadar in Ms " Giant " balloot has for some time pet been a favourite topic with the Pane and Brunesh journals. This time there was to be to falls's. The earth was to be forsaken for an indefinite period, and the aeronauts were to exist in Cloodland till it biome tiresome to remain longer from the parent earth. Advantage wu taken of the September fetes at Brussels, when the ascent could be made in the presence of a multi , tads worthy of the occasion. The Independance of yester. day evening contains a lug and excited description of the west. The public feeling had become nixed to the highest point. " The emotion was universal, and in the crowd which from at early hour yester day (Monday) was circulating in the streets in an agitated and anxious state, there ran a kind of contagions fever which overcame the coldest and affected the most apathetic." Railway trains had brought in thottiands from the country, nearly doubling the population of the city. In the enclosure were the King, the Duke and Duchess of Brabant with their children, the Count of Flanders, the members of the diplomatic cony, the minister', the burgo master, sheriffs, and all the municipal anthoritias of Brus sels. The King arrived at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and at 03C0 sent for M. Nadu. Amidst loud " bravos" the bur gomaster brought forward the well-known photographer and aeronaut. The King gave him a moat gracious re coptiou, and, after talking with Dim fu sane time, prseented him to the Duchess of Bra bant. Before leaving the presence of royalty, M. Hadar presented the King and the Doke and Duchess of Brabant with three copies of his book, " The Memoirs of the (*ant." His Majesty and their royal highnesses " ap peared touched by this act of homage. The crowd shared in this simple, honourable, and affable saw, and hearty cheers greeted Nader as he descended the steps." Mesa. while the " house" which is attached to the balloon was being stocked with the materiel of the expedition. Amongst other thing', water, provisions, clothes, scientific Matra meets, and sixty carrier pigeons, " rapid messengers in. tended to wive prompt news of the serial excursionists in case they descended in a country unprovided with the tele graph," were taken in. There were also a variety of arms " mammary to protect the balloon in its descent from the brutality of ignorant peasants." The original number of excursionists was 13, but 4 of these, on account of the great weight attached to the bal loon, were obliged to be left behind. At ball-pant 5 o'clock the names of the travellers haring been called over, the cords were cut. "At this solemn moment," says the Independana, " a hundred thousand hearts were beating —a hundred thousand eyes were watching the movement of the balloon—the decisive order ' Ldchai toys ' was given, and the balloon rose, slowly and majestically, amidst the acclamations of the crowd." A brief postscript to the narrative from which we have borrowed the above particulars, reduces the ascent to the modest proportions of • very ordinary seroesutic trip. Neither the pigeons nor the provisions, nor the clothed, nor the arms to keep off savages, appear to have been required. The balloon left the ground at balf•peat 5 o'clock, and came down very quietly near Ypres shortly after 10. A strong easterly wind was carrying the voyagers to the sea, and their faith in the elaborate preparations appears to have failed them. MR. ADDERLEY, M.P., AT BIRMINGHAM. The inaugural address at the opening of the Mid land Institute for the autumnal session was delivered by Mr. Adderley, the president. Mr. ADDEILIY said, I cannot but feel that an address to the Midland Institute has to follow great antecedents even already ; but all who have had to follow the speech of the Prince Consort in 1855, in laying the foundation stone of this building, have had only in various ways to illustrate the one great fundamental pro position which he laid down ea wisely and as deeply as the foundation stone he was laying, and of which all insti tutions of this kind are but a national acknowledgment— namely, that science is necessary to all human progress. (Applause.) The words of the Palace were these, i t a r 7: " That there is no human pursuit which can make any ma terial progress until science is brought to bear upon it." The other day I met the same ecintinnot expressed in another way, in" Help's History of America." Is discussing the of Columbus's discovery, he said, "Invention ii r ne n iTi from laud to land, but not from nothing to something. ' The fact is that God has given nothing to man but by a laborious process of acquisition ; and human acquisition is not by mere will urination, but by the study of the laws of the Creator, sad by applying them. Theron the study and the application. Science should always be made rub servient to action; but action not based upon science is mere accident, or an intelligent routine. (Applause.) I think these were the words of the Prince, that " there is no human pursuit so insignificant as not to be capable both of • science and an art." We all have some pur suit ; we all have some work to do. It is the essence of • probationary life. There is no pursuit which can be intelligently followed but by study. All men have some penult.. It follows, as a oneelusioa, that there are none who are independent of study. (Applause.) The first studies of life—the first step of general education, drawing out the first faculties of the mind—are common to all classes of society, The elementary A B C of all learning is identical in every line cf life, but the lines of life soon diverge. Manual labour takes away its class very early from ! school ; even in earliest childhood. Those earned in arta, trades, and manufacture, though they can prosecute general studies to the period of youth, yet at that time become urauersed in the business of life. It is only the richer clam whoa's) afford to devote the whole period of Dooms to general studies, and postpone to adult age the practical occupations of life. The principal intention of an Institute like this is to offer means of cootinued general mental culture to the second of these three classes—namely, those whom busi ness has celled off in early youth from school ; and also to promote the studies venal to that business which has early called them off from school and engaged them. Such, then, are the general studies, and such are the special studies, of this institution—of the general Audios, as died°. mashed from the special, end in that distinction I am not allu ding to the two departmeo ts of the Institute, but to two means of study. The general study, the pursuit of knowledge and of literature for the purpose of mental culture ; the sciences of the art of thinking and of judging wisely, end of high appreciation in matter of taste—of these general studies in this Institute, and M all places like this, I would say in the words of &coo, they are a first-rate national comers. Bacon farther says "that the delicacy and the luxury of the richer I classes would soon deteriorate the civilisatith of any coon try, but for," what he calls, "the poverty of learning keeping uP the honour of life." (Applause.) It is the permeation through every class of the community of • loved knowledge and of true principles of thought that maintains the spirit sod the worth of any nation. (Loud applause.) In a free country this is doubly tree. It is essential in afros coast's to raise the whole tone of society constantly to a level with and growth to its present requirements ; and a free nation is always tending to rise above the comparative rudeness of former times. Without it the very secret of freedom, the distnbution of the administration of public affairs amongst all classes, would become of itself a natural weak ness and danger. (Applause.) But for men who have to act sad think for themselves, as the citizens of a free country like this have to do, the practice of study, the power of thought is necessary to supersede the natural tendency to act from prejudice or routine, by • habit of acting from intelligent perception. And to maintain public spirit and patriotism in • country which acts for itself, it is necessary that the partners in common freedom should have sympathy with one smother, think alike, speak a com mon language, have their ideas running on a common basis, clear the evil eye of narrow minds, which are apt to con template whole classes of their fellow subjects with aver sion, merely because tiy are unacquainted with them. se (Applau., I would a ppeal teeny one who has studied history whether more than h f the injustice, the animosities, the persecutions, the mutual hatreds, which have galled sad stunted the growth of nations, have not arisen from oar. ' row views, blindness, and hindrances, on. of soother, and 'those films which seem to hang about the purblin d eye of • cootioed idiosyncrasy. Elevate, expand the mind, and these disappear. (Applause.) I would appeal to all pre sent who, I dare say, within the last fortnight were collected in the great Town Hall close by-1 would appeal to those who there sympathised with great and mixed assemblies, in the grand and comprehensive bologna of the Jlesaialt, whether they were not—at least, for the time—wholly un conscious of the many differences which merged in the high and common devotion! (Applause.) It is when that uni versal source of light is obscured by lower vapours which hide and disturb mutual relations that men fight with imaginary shadows of offence, which vanish as the light prevails and reveals • better understanding, (Applause.) Institutions like this not only raise their owe members to higher thoughts, more liberal feelings, and greater capacities of citizenship, but they spread a whole some influence all around. For amongst the darkness and the evils which must congregate in a large town like this, an institution such as this shines as • beacon light and rallyiog point to those that are willing, and is a constant witness to those who are unwilling, of their highest destiny. (Applause.) I heard the other day of • clergyman in this town, who by • similar individual influence, managed to cull out of the idlers and the loiterers of the streets constituency for his night schools ; and in the same way an institution like this, with like attractions, tends from age to age to draw within its civilising influence all that is cape- ble of such attraction. I am glad to see that In the report ' of this year. In Mr. Williams's report, that that desultory curiosity which keep, flitting about any sign of life—though let me not at all depreciate even that, for it is often the Bret stirring of a true spirit of inquiry —but I am glad to see that, by a remit regulation, such desultory curiosity aboat the classes of the iastitute has been made to pans through a Dort of novitiate in the peony lectures, where certainly may be got sound and good gratilleatioo without checking or di. verting the more serious studies of the claims. The general undies to which I bare been alluding are certainly, la the first place, the elementary exercises in grammar and arith. metic, and I hear that these classmate the most crowded, and the best attended. In hearing that formy pert I received an unsatisfactory but also a satisfactory impression; swots, factory because at would seem to me some reflection on the completeness of the schooling in the national schools of this town, or in the natural sequel to it—the night school; but is. tiafactory, inasmuch as it shows that those who are conscious of that imperfection come here to supply that which they feel to have been wanting in their previous attainments (Applause.) I hope three who take theism, view with me would feel it an absolute necessity to stimulate the night schools, to supply that which the deficiency an this point seems to show is wanting. I should be sorry if this great in. statute were for any prolonged time to be made to undertake the task which night schools ought to fulfil. (Applause.) The general studies proper to this place are—the study of history, the study of English literature, the study of music ; and let me say of music that I have • satisfaction in reflecting that I was one of those who helped to induce the House of Commons, in the last session of Parliament, to make the first public grant for the patronage of music throughout this country. (Loud applause.) One need say no more on that point, seeing bow the sentiment is received. Looking acmes the street, I see those lighted windows in the Town-hall, where we know the weekly concert is now going on • and Birmingham, I may safely say, without being a ccused of flattery, has placed herself high amongst the towns of this country in the patronage of music. (Applause.) I may be allowed to say that, in my opinion, of all the general studies I have alluded to, the most important study is that of history. (Applause.) To have the mental stimulant involved in a membership of the Institute, namely, the conceit of knowledge which it implies, and yet to be ignorant of history, and to have no appreciation of literature, would be simply to cultivate the garden of the mind with weeds, and to train the power of thought and the forma• Coo of opinion on false and treacherous materials. What en institute for the education of the in dustrious teach knowledge without the guide of history, or imparting en acquaintance with its own antecedent' To sharpen the intellects' of members only to be the dupes of the ready eloquence of charlatans, despising past experience, declaiming on the fictions of their own ignorance, or design, colouring and confusing the true materials of history and judgment! A school of political power as this institution must be io an old and glorious country, ready to deal with the sacred legacies of peat generations in ignorance of their nature, their character, their circumstances, sod their acquirements, and with rash presumption, reedy for any experiment with institutions that they have neither taken trouble to understand, nor have the power to restore. Heaven preserve us from an institution like that in • town lake Birmingham. (Loud applause.) The study of history must be the basis of all general studies In an institution like this to make it of any use. 1 oiled say less of the study of English literature, because, though I have ventured to speak strongly of the study of history, through hearing of the small attendance at the class, yet, with regard to English literature, I cannot think that the class will be deserted in a town like this, where I know the extensive knowledge, the high appreciation, the love of our own immortal Shakespeare. (Applause.) As to the special studies of this place, which are chiefly the sciences of mechanics, physics, and chemistry, they are not likely to be deserted in • town like this, since they so obviously and so immediately bear upon the manufactures and art of the place. If one wanted any proof of their successful prow-attic, one has but to look at the report to see, for latrine, the fact of Mr. Woodward's promotion to M r. Wdliami s vacant place—(applause)--• man who has derived his scientific knowledge, I believe, wholly from the dames of the Institute, and who has proved how sound and good that acquisition has been, by his carrying the highest honours to the examination in the government department of science and art for teachers certiantes, and also in the examinations of the London University. Or take the case of his late pupil, Mr. Aoderton—(loud applause —who has carried off the gold medal in the governmen t examinations against 263 competitors. (Applause.) When one sees proof of the soundness and sum.s of these studies, these special studies of the institute, ono only feels wonder—nay, almost curiosity—to know why these classes are not more largely attended by the artisans of th is town. and not more heartily encouraged by the great masters of this town. (Loud applause.) Sorely they must know their own interests, not only in reeling and training an in telligent class of artisans, but also is training the taste of the town and population itself ; for what would be the use of trained artisans and the advancement of art unless the advance of art was equal amongst the customers of art, and the taste arose in the place where the highest samples were offered to custom' Such are the special studies of this place. There is also an anecdote in the report which struck me as showing the practical application of these studies— scientific studies—in the advance of art itself in this town. There is a statement by a Birmingham manager in his own words, that 3s. worth of study in one of these classes set him devising economy of fuel in the construction of his furnaces—that is to say, by proportioning and adapting hie chimney to his fires ; • very simple advance, but yet a very important advance, io art. (Hear, bear.) I should like to know how long, if it bad not been for this institu tion, that little progress in art would have tekeu plate. Then I have heard the story—sod I believe it is perfectly true—that in the art of architecture it is only recently, through the influence of the department of art in London, that our arebitecta have so far studied the scission of mocha. nice, optics, and acoustics, that we have had any picture gal lery in this country so built that a picture can be seen . . ; or any monist-room so built, except by accident, ' that music an be beard in it. (Laughter sod applause.) Now, it certainly is on the principle of the division of labour that these may be called the special studies of this iustitntioo. But I am rather here in the name of the fellowship of labour and of sympathetic pro. gram We certainly all have our work in life, but the ulti mate object of all these works is one and them:De. We have all our specialities, but the very object of the variety of these specialities is simply for the purpose of united action, that we might be necessary one to another, sad that we may work together for common ends. (Hear, hear.) It seems to me thee, that the main consideration is that the spirit and the intellect, the moral standard and the sentiment, of this Nation should advance in all classes together, equally sod in concert. I will not intrude im your time further than simply to wish—and I think I may say confidently to aoticiiiste, having seen the pro granime—s, brilliant opening to our, to your autumnal ses sion. (Prolonged cheering.) On the motion of the MAYOR, seconded by the Rev. Dr. MILLE; • cordial vote of thanks was given to the right hOll. gentleman.—Birmingham Post. REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

There was a good attendance, and the pr3oesdings were marked by no disorder. The Courtier de Bretagne gives an interesting amount of recent experiments with the electric lights at Lorient The night was dark ; many spectator' assembled in addition to the engineers and officers comprising a com mission appointed specially by the maritime prefect. First the great dock, in which two ships were under repair, was rendered as light as day, so that the engimen were enabled to go down into it and examine all the details of the repairs. Next a signal mast was fixed, at 700 yards from the Duchayla and at 500 from the Panama steam frigate. ; the signals given by flags from the summit of the mast were rendered perfectly visib!e on board the two ships by means of the electric light. A third experiment mused great surprise and admirati.m. A diver descended 20 feet under water, and by means of the light was enabled to distinguish the decimal divisions on a male which was seat down to him and to give proofs of it. This experi. meet was deemed conclusive. It is now established that an electro-magnetie machine may be permanently fixed to light large workshops, submarine works, and narrow pas sages into harbours.
