The screw steamer Thunder was at Hong Kong on the 15th October, to that the report of ber being at &Amon, sad long overdue at Calcutta, was incorrect. Intelligence was received at the Admiralty yes terday of the safe arrival of her Majesty's ironclad ship Ocean at Batavia on the 15th ultimo, all well. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (Rzma's TELEGRAMS.) THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE. MUNICH. Nov. 27. The Southern Press of to-day alleges that Eng land has reluctantly given her assent to the Con ference, in order not to be the only power that abstains from taking part in its deliberations. BERLIN, Nov. 27, Evismo. The semi-official Provincial Correspondence of this evening says :—" The prospects of the Conference assembling have increased. Some of the great powers had delayed giving in their adhesion partly because the basis of the Conference was not fixed beforehand, and partly because it was doubted whether those Governments would be represented who are most interested in the question to be dis cussed. It appears, however, that the zealous ex ertions of the French Government have suc ceeded in inducing the Pope and the King of Italy to accept the invitation to the Con ference. It is supposed, moreover, that an im portant reason in favour of a result being arrived at will be found in the fact that the French Govern ment makes the remaining of the French troops in Rome dependent upon the success or failure of the proposed deliberations. A final decision of the gnat powers in reference to the acceptance of the invitationto the Conference may now be shortly expected. . 1 ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 77. The Journal de M. Pekrabourg of to-day says : " The Papal government must not hope that at the approaching Conference Europe will be con tented with merely recording pious wishes. Nor must the Pope's government believe that the Euro pean Powers will so far ignore the evidence of accomplished facts as to declare themselves pre pared to re-establish the old Papal frontiers, or even to maintain the present abnormal state of affairs." FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 27, Evatrogo. The bulletin of the evening Afoniteur says that already numerous adhesions to the Conference have reached the imperial government ; and that it may be allowed to hope for • happy result. Five tran sports have arrived at Civita Vecchia. The first division was to embark during the day. In the Corps I4gislatif to-day M. Rouher, in reply to M. Pelletan, declared that the Yellow-book contains no despatches from the governments of Rome and Florence, because the imperial government had not received any official written communication from those governments since February last. M. IRouher, in reply to M. Gamier Pages. thus ' explained the silence of the Yellow-book respecting the affairs of Germany :—The in terview at Salsburg was strictly private, and gave rise simply to a circular from M. de Moustier, which the Moniteur may probably publish. The Luxemburg affair is terminated. The Schleswig affair is carried on exclusively between Berlin and Copenhagen. No discussion has been entered into on this point between Paris and Berlin. The government had no communications to make on German questions. The requests of MM. d'Ande lane and Newton= for permission to interpellate the government were granted. The debate will take place to-morrow on M. d'Andelarre's interpel , lation, the object of which is, in consequence of the high price of provisions, to call the attention l of the government to the necessity of bring ing in a bill for the abrogation of Art. 1 of the law of the 15th June, 1861, l as regards the extra taxes established on the im i portation of grain and dour in foreign vessels. The Unirers says that the Pontifical government, whilst adhering in principle to the Conference on tho Roman question, at the same time declares that it does not renounce any oneof its rights. The Pattie of this evening announces that the brigade of French troops, under General Bataille, will embark at Civita Vecchia on the 28th inst. THE PAPAL STATES. NOME, Nov. 27. The whole of the Dumont division has received orders to proceed to Civita Vecchia, and there embark for France. The 29th and 59th Regiments embark to-day at Civita Vecchia for the same des tination, and the 80th Regiment to-morrow. The director of the Roman police has ordered all strangers who have been residing in Rome leas than four months to present themselves before the authorities, and explain the motives of their stay, ander penalty of being conducted to the frontier. THE PRUSSIAN DIET. BERLIN, Nov. 27, Evaxnro. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the motions of Herr Lasken, proposing to quash the trial of Herr Twesten by a special law, and to modify Art. 84 of the Prussian constitution, so as to make it consistent with the constitution of the North German Confederation, came on for discus 'ion. Herr von Hoverbeck proposed that the house should proceed to the ordor of the day. Herr von Bennigsen supported the motion of Herr Laaken. Count von Lippe, the Minister of Justice, suggested that the members should await the decision of the Supreme Court, when it would be possible to determine what mea sures were fitting to be adopted on the subject. Count von Bismarck said that he expressed his own personal conviction, and not that of the Government, in saying that he attached no peculiar 2ractical importance to the question. The conflict between the Chamber and the Government had arisen from a misuse of the freedom of speech. He considered the question of right in the present case was doubtful. The question now was how to prevent the renewal of the misunderstanding be tween the Government and the Chamber. He pro posed to consider whether it were not possible to distinguish between two conditions of liberty of speech, namely, the right of free speech in the Chamber, and the right of the newspapers to pub lish the speeches. He was desirous of freeing the constitutional life of the kingdom from all causes of disagreement, and would support any means of maintaining a good understanding. The motions of Herren von Hoverbeck and Guerard were re jected; those of Herr Lasken were adopted by 181 against 160 votes. Baron von der Heydt, the Minister of Finance, brought in a bill rela tive to the assumption of the Elbe Duchies' portion of the Danish debt, amounting to 21,760,000 dole., by Prussia. CANDIA. MARSEILLES, Nov. 27. Intelligence from Athena to the 20th inst. an nounces that hoetilitisehad recommencedin Candia, and that foreign Teasels continued to transport the Cretan families to Greece. The blockade runner Union was still making voyages to the island with aid for the insurgent*. The King and Queen of the Hellenes had ar rived at Corfu, and various war vessels belonging to Russia, France, Prussia, Italy, Austria, and Sweden, were at the Piraeus in order to salute their Majesties on their arrival. The national loan up to tho present amounted to 400,000/. The railway between Athens and the Piraeus had been under taken by English capitalists. AMERICA. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.)

A despatch from Havana of the 15th test. says : No news has been received from the central pare of Porto Rim. Aooording to accounts so far received, the last hurricane which visited the island was more terrible ' and destructive in its diode than the two previous ones. One thousand houses are in ruins, and three thousand buildings badly damaged. The loss is incalculable. An immense number of cattle have been killed. The cane crops have been utterly destroyed, and the fields swept bare. President Johnson and General Schofield have bad • discussion upon the propriety of taking measures to pre vent the dangerous use of armed organisation by negroes in the South. — A Washington telegram says that Attorney-General Btanben7 has expressed an opinion (presumed to be un official, inasmuch as it appears as a communication in the newspapers. instead of being addressed to the President) on the additions session of the 40th Congress. He says that the sot of January 22, 1867, does not change or in terfere with the day of meeting fixed by the constitution. All sessions of the 40th Congress held prior to the hest Monday in December, except such as are convened by the President, are irregular. The New York Times' Washington correspondent says : " There promises to be a strong pressure upon Congress to secure a large reduction upon the tax on cotton and wool len fabrics. It is understood that Commissioner Wells will favour a reduction, it accompanied by a oorresponding reduction in tariff rates on the same articles. Most mum facture:a own that the inervaaed tariff has done damage to their interests. Commissioner Wells also recommends the repeal of the cotton tax." According to advice@ from Quebec the ship capenters' strike there is about to terminate, the employers having agreed to make some concessions, on the condition that each party shell retain full liberty of action, the employers to withdraw from the society which originated the strike. In the Canadian parliament Mr. )d Gee has urged the continued suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. He thought there soon might be another Fenian invasion. EDUCATION AND THE RELIGIOUS ORDERS IN SWITZERLAND. We read in the Indipendance Beige, " The Grand Council of Berne has just passed an important resolution. It has decided by 128 votes against 75, that experience having shown the incompatibility of the observance of the legal dispositions concern ing instruction with the absolute obedience which the members of religious orders owe to their supe riors, no person belonging to any of those orders shall henceforth be admitted to the educational staff. All such teachers, attached to primary public schools, will be considered as having re signed." DESPATCH OP BOMBAY MAILS. -SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 27.-The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Massilia, Captain Almond, sailed this afternoon with mails for Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, Egypt, Aden, Bombay, and Upper Bengal. She took out 92 passengers and • full cargo, including-sovereigns, 2,2701. ; rupees, 410/. ; and mock pearls and watches, 407/.

THE HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES.-RELIEF FUND.-The Lord Mayor having consented to receive sub scriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the recent hur ricane in the West Indies a fund for that objegt was opened at the Mansion-halm on Tuesday.

THLIORAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH ABYSSINIA. Now that the value of telegraphic eommunication with Abyssinia has become so manifest, we are glad to be able to state that arrangements are being made to organise a telegraphic service in connexion with the Abyssinian expe dition. The present Egyptian lines extend as far as Souakin, and it is, we understand, contemplated to con struct a line between that port and Massowah, or whatever other point may be determined upon for the damnation of our troops. Communication will be kept up between the army and the coast by flying lines, and for Geld open lions an apparatus will be employed by which signalling can be earned on with great rapidity—the signals being long and short flashes corresponding with the Morse alphabet. Besides these agencies of communication a camp poet-office will be established to aooompany the ex peditionary field force, and it is said that a special steamer will be employed on that service between Maseowah and Aden. The telegraph service will oonsiat of three super intendents, six assistant superintendents, 15 line inspec tors, and 30 efficient signallers. Letters and papers for the troops in Abyssinia should be addremed " The Field Force, Abyssinia." A meeting of the Neutrality Laws Commissioners was held yesterday.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (rum oui OWN col PARIS, WIDNISDAY Eviarnro. The semi-official journals express great dis pleasure at the release of Garibaldi. The Patrie thinks the event "not calculated to facilitate the understanding between the two governments which is most desirable under the present difficult circumstances." The same organ hears that "the revolutionary spirit in Italy cannot be considered as disarmed," and that " groups of Garibaldians, unarmed, but entertaining hostile designs, are still hovering about the pontifical frontiers." The Pays sees in the removal of Garibaldi from Varignano to Caprera a new Italian " trick," and li e xpects that he will again be allowed to escape. Some of the Italian papers say the Emperor told General La Marmora that he would consider the formation of a Rattazzi ministry as a came belli. To-day the bureau of the Corps Legialatif by a arge majority authorised the Marquis d'Ande larre's interpellation on the necessity of a law to validate the Emperor's decree removing the extra duties on imported grain and flour, and also later pellations presented by MM. des Rotours, Stieve nart, Bethune, and others, suggesting the de sirability, seeing the dearness of provisions, of im mediately taking off all duties whatever on corn, flour, rice, potatoes, and other eatables transported on canals belonging to the state. The govern ment had hoped to have prevented any debate on the serious question of subsistence, but the feeling in the Chamber was too strong to be repressed. There is some expectation that the discussion of one of these interpellations may be taken on Friday. Just complaints are made of the Chamber losing the whole week. The Roman question comes on for debate in the Senate on Friday. The senators who have already put down their names to speak are Cardinal de Bonnec.hoae, M Bonjean, M. Bonvilliers, Viscount de la Gueronnibre, Cardinal Mathieu, and the Archbishop of Paris. The Bourne was again extremely firm. Rente rose 25c. ROME. (not ova ancia, ow ROME, Nov. 21 Within the wide circuit of the walls of Rome there ans many spots as ruinous and desolate as though they were in Persepolis or Palmyra. There are crumbling masses of brickwork, piled up in the time of the Camara, and score after score of acres of garden where a whole army of revolu tionists might be hidden from sight. It is difficult to believe that, if once the flame of insurrection had burst forth in Rome, any effort of the Papal troops would have sufficed to re-establish order. I do not say that the flame was ready to burst forth— late events have shaken my belief in the strength of the national (Italian) party in Rome—but each fresh visit to the outer defences shows me dearly what a hopeless task it would have been to fight an insursestion on one side, whilst resisting an in vader on the other. Rome has about 200,000 inhabitants on a apace which once hold more than a million, and the walla are merely high brick curtains without either moat or bastions, counter-scarp or glade. It is true that the approaches to the gates are between high fences, along roads easily to be swept by cannon. But who would take the road when he could ad vance under cover through the gardens to right or left, until he was near enough to fling stones over the city wall i I have seen in some Italian news papers an argument against French intervention, based upon the theory that Rome was in no sort of danger from Garibaldi's advance, and that Napo leon performed an act of supererogation in sending his Chassepot rifles to the rescue. He certainly took a very grave step, of which neither he nor Europe has heard the last, but in so far as the Emperor was determined to uphold Pius IX. at any coat, he sent his Chassepot rifles not a day too soon. You will have gathered from the various accounts of what happened in the battle of Men ton& that the French by their presence de cided the result, and you will be inclined to think that no march out would have taken place on November 3, and no battle have been fought at all, had not the French previously arrived in Rome. Some staunch Romaniata will persist in asserting that they alone could have dealt with Garibaldi. This is a fond delusion I am persuaded. Napoleon knew better, and acted with unhesitating vigour ; the Papal authorities knew better, and trembled for their safety until the expeditionary force appeared at Civita Vecchia. There was no lack of courage among the Papal Zouaves, many of whom are men of good family and reactionist principles ; no back wardness among the police in making arrests, or among the spies in obtaining information ; but the men of every service were much fatigued, and they had no advantage of breech-loading arms to give them a decided superiority of fire over the Garibaldians. In a few days more the redshirts would have come close to Rome. Then, per haps, the people would have risen, but in any case there would have been great danger to be feared from a rising, for a band of insurgents posted in the Coliseum, or in one of the villas with garden walls twenty feet high, might have withstood a regular siege if only they had secured some pro visions at the outset. In regard to public opinion and to all which bears upon public life, as we know it, the city is under a military nightmare. At this present time Rome is morally engulphed and swallowed up by French protection. There are foreign soldiers to guard every important point, and the underneath Italian Rome is so deeply buried, that it matters very little whether it be contented or discontented, pleased or sorrowful. Last of all plaoes in the world is the " Roman question " to be settled in Rome—now that the golden opportunity has been missed—and I can but tell you of outward appearances showing how firmly the captive is held by the giant who has him in his grip. Every day sees some addition to the effective strength of the French garrison. Now it is a detachment of soldiers joining their headquarters, or horses or stores received by the imperial troops. Now it is Papal recruits arriving to swell the number of the grey.trousered Zousves. Many young Belgians have lately come, and though they are short of stature, they have a strong sturdy look. Taking them altogether, Pius IX. may be proud of his Zouaves, for the loose grey uniform has made a good struggle against Garibaldi's famous red-shirts, and if the improved breech loading rifle (twenty-eight shots a minute), for which I hear that the Pope is in treaty, should be served out to them before their next campaign, the Zouaves may be able to win some future Montana without French assistance. lam supposing that the expeditionary corps will some day ,retire to Civita Vecchia, or even as far as Toulon, and give Pius IX. a chance of fighting his own battles. But the expeditionary corps shows every sign of staying here for the winter, and there is nothing to indicate that it will presently move coastward save a vague belief among the soldiers themselves that they are not to stay long in Rome. Penguin has been busy with his quips at the expense of our gallant neighbours. He tells them of their bad exchange in losing Mexico and gaining Monte Rotondo, which they must feel to be a pain ful truism, but he tells it so neatly that I will give the original lines at the risk of your having already heard them : I Pranced son' brae' eoldati, I piil braid del mondo. Benno perduto Meade°, Per acquistare Monte Rotondo. Pasquin cannot laugh them out of their strong position, though they may have made a bad ex change. " Small loss and less gain," many French men would be inclined to say. However, if they are to keep foreign governments standing with the help of their bayonets, the men have the advantage of being near home on this expedition, and the officers seem to have many civilian friends who have made a trip to Rome to witness the saving of the Pope from his enemies. I speak of French officers strictly so called, but among the Franco- Papal troops, especially the Zouaves, there are still more of such cases. Even the rank and file of the Papal volunteers have friends visiting them, or rather being lionized about the city by them. More than once it has happened to me to sit near a family group wherein the Zouave son was describing the war to father over a snug little dinner, with strong indications that the old gentleman was standing treat. Allowing for every exaggeration, and for all the nonsense of the Roman press, there ham been beyond doubt a strong thrill of catholicism in answer to the efforts of the Garibaldians. The one side has recruited under great advantages, and been backed up by France at the moment of pro bable defeat, but still it did recruit, and its soldiers did fight, which was more than some had thought possible. The mere carrying on of war has a rousing effect on the partisans of a cause, no matter what it may be, and in the struggle for Rome there was much to excite enthusiasm among those to whom the Pope is the head of their religion. This same enthu gleam was sometimes caught up by neutral lookers on, as in a curious instance a few weeks ago, when the consul of a protestant country, going to see the Papal army, found himself in one of the skirmishes with Garibaldians which were then daily occurring. From quiet observation the consul slid by degrees into active hostilities, and if report be true, he showed no little skill and courage in defence of the " temporal power." It was not his intention beforehand to fight, but circumstances were too strong for him. At any rate, the belligerent consul got off better than a luckless Englishman, who, approaching hap-hazard the scene of action from the other side, was struck by a French bullet among the retreating Garibalclians, and is now a wounded prisoner in Rome. Tai PRICE 01 BUTCHERS' MEAT. —The extra ' ordinarily high prior of butchers' meat induced some Hull butchers to erect a stall in Barton market the other Saturday, where they sold meat at greatly reduced price.• good wether mutton, legs, at 7d., and other part; at 6d. per lb. Beef was 6d. and 60. per lb. The Barton Co-operative Trading Company, at a =Mid meeting on Saturday, resolved to commence butchery business immediately, and to sell the meat at the lowest remunerative profit. A farmer, who woe formerly one of the moat extensive fish merchants in Hull, who has also a brother • butcher in this town, was hawking lamb from door to door at 61b. per lb. An exten sive and highly-respectable manufacturer has also taken to slaughtering his own pigs and sheep, selling to his workmen and poorer neighbours at merely nominal prices, so that the town has in a few days broken up the butcher's mono poly which at one time bid fair to create • riot in the place, all press were inch that the labouring classes were prevented from purchasing butcher's meat; and combined with the high price of sour and bread it was impossible for working men to live and pay their way. Several of the farmers have raised the wigs, of their labourers without being asked to do so.—Eastern Counties Herold. LIFE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.—BALTIMORE, Nov. 14.—About i 2 o'clock to-day, as R. A. Pollard, the historian," of " Lee and His Lieutenants." was gassing in front of the Maltby House, he was approached by a eon and nephew of Henry A. Wise, named John and Douglas Wise, each of whom fired a shot at Pollard, one of the shots passing through his right arm, he having his wife on his left arm at the time. Pollard at once drew his pistol, but was unable to raise it to give a return • fire, on account of the wound he had received, and the ball from the weapon struck the pavement. The Wiese came up from Richmond thui morning to obtain satisfaction from Pollard for a letter recently published by the latter in reply to a letter of Henry A. Wise on his (Pollard's) " History of the War," and had previously declared their intention to shoot him at sight. This afternoon John and Joe Douglas Wise were arraigned before the magistrate, and waiving an eISIIIiIIS. tion, they were bailed in 3,000 dole. each to appear before the grand jury on Saturday next. Mr. Pollard's wound is severe, the bone being shattered, but is not necessarily dangerous. He is now doing well.—New Turk Tribune, November lb. _ _ THZ ERUPTION or MOUNT Vl.Bl/VloB.—The Naples correspondent of the Tines, writing on the 21st, gives an account of the scene of the eruption as witnessed on the previous night. "To the crater itself," the visitors say, " we could not reach, but as near to it se was safe we sat down on a normhtello of cinders and watched the scene. Vesuvius shook and trembled with the efforts it was making ; it panted and roared like some gigantic formica ; there was a sound rapid and repeated as of the discharge of a volley of musketry, and there rose to the heavens full 1,000 feet a gorgeous mass of lava, stones both great and small, and fine ashes. We calculated the interval which elapsed before it fell at from five to ten seconds, varying in duration according to the violence of the erup tions, which took place almost every second. The larger atom—rocks they may he almost called—rolled at times down to the spot where we were seated, while the smaller ones were carried by the caries of the wind in various directions. Not far fromus, in the direc tion of Ottajano, rolled down • stream of liquid lava from 40 to 50 feet in width, and 10 or 12 feet in height. Like pebbles on a shingly beach agitated by a storm was the noise it made in its progress ; the scorer on the surface fell continually over, and thus ever diminishing, yet ever increasing in proportions, the stream rolled on and reached the bottom of the mountain. There were, however, last night many streams, presenting the appear ance of an inverted hand, so that the mountain on this side seemed all ablaze. As I predicted, too, at the beginning of the week, the lavais nowcoui ins down towards the Hermitage. We can mark its red and sinuous course even from Naples ; and there is a promise of greater splendour than any we have yet witnessed. We can hear, too, the thunders of nature's artillery, while each discharge is followed by a display which it is useless to attempt to describe. Dif ferent, yet scarcely less grand, are the day effects. Volumes and volumes of dark smoke are shot up perpendicularly into the air and then, falling and circling and rolling one over the other, file off like heavy battalions towards Capri. The column of smoks is perceptible to the eye all across the bay lingering horizontally until it derives a fresh impulse from each suocessive eruption. For eight days this brilliant spectacle has been exhibited with ever increasing grandeur, and the probabilities ars that it will continue some time longer. Within twenty-four hours the temperature has changed from a degree of heat inducing lassitude to a piercing cold. Every une is muffled closely up, but the bright sac above us will soon warm up the atmosphere." HOSPITAL(FOR DIRIASIS or THE THROAT, 32, GOLDLII•eQUARZ, W.—During the week ending 25ed November 346 patients were under treatment, of whom 32 were new cases, NOVEMBER METEORS SEEN IN CANADA. TO THI HDITOR OP TIM 111P1288. Sin,—From a letter I have jest received from Mr. G. T. Kingston, director of the Observatory of Toronto, I learn that on the night common to the 13th and 14th of November the sky was nearly overcoat till 1 am. ; that about 20 meteors were seen between midnight and 1 am. ; that at 110 am. systernatio oonnting was commenced from the top of the tower of the Observatory by four observers, working simultaneously. The observers were graduates and students of the Univentity College, Toronto, a imp number of whom remained in the building through out the night, relieving each other from time to time till 6 am. The bright moonlight throughout the night and the clouded state of the sky before 1 am. greatly inter fend with the displ►y. But for these causes the numbers would probably have been doubled. Nearly all the meteors proceeded in such directions that ' when produced backwards passed through the modelle ' tion Leo ; only about 2 per cent. being not conformable to that course. Many of them in spite of the moonlight were very brilliant; but there were no audible explosions. The numbers observed were as follows : From midnight to lh. am. was From lh. a.m. to 2h. am. was From 2b. am, to 311. am. was 123 From 3h. ant. to 41%. a.m. was 560 From 4h. a.m. to sh. a.m. was From sh. am. to 6h. am, was 195 giving a total of 2,287. Therefore the shower el meteors has returned with great brilliancy at the time oak:dated. The longitude of To- ronto being more than 5 hours, the time of maximum dis play would correspond to about 9 a.m. Greenwich mean time.—l am, &c., JA91.193 GLLJSILEE. Blackheath, Nov. 27. THE METEORS AS SEEN IN THE UNITED STATES. The meteoric display of the 13th was very gene rally witneard throughout the United Stator. O bservers in Delaware report having seen several thousand, and Professor Watson, of the Michigan University, reports that he counted them at the rate of 1,500 an hour. The greatest number were visible about 4 o'clock in the morn ing. The following report of the observations made at the Navy Observatory is Washington, bas been made to the Secretary of the Navy: . ' United States Naval Observatory, Washington, Thursday, Nov. 14. " Sir,—l have the honour to submit the following preliminary report of the meteoric shower of this morn. tog •.—The display of meteors was the most brilliant seen in this country since the great shower of 1833. In accordance with the request of Professor H. A. Newton, observations in the northern heavens for parallax were made between the boars of 11 and 2 o'clock. Very few were seen, however, till 1 o'clock. The observations were made, and the track of the meteors drawn upon the map by Messrs. Wain, Lindenkeb, Timbrook, and Pitman, a party of assistants of the United States Coast Survey, who kindly volunteered their services. Forty-six meteor trucks were mapped down by the United States Coast Survey. Observations in conjunction with Professor Harkness, of the Observatory at Rich mond, for parallax, were commenced shortly after 3 o'clock by the United States observatory party, consist ing of Messrs. Newcomb, Hartman, Harmon, Doolittle, and Gardiner. Arrangements had been made by the courtesy of the manager of the American Telegraph Corn. psny to exchange telegrsphie signals with Professor Hark. ness on the appearance of each meteor ; but through some disarrangement of the wires communication could not be established. One hundred and twenty-five meteors' tracks were mapped down before 4.30 o'clock when the meteors flew au thick that identification of those seen from the two stations here became hopeless, and simple counting resorted to. One thousand meteors were counted in the 21 minutes between 4.14 and 4.35 o'clock. Afterward Successive hundreds were counted in the following inter vale :-4 min., 5 min. 30 sec., 5 min. 35 sec., 5 min. 44 sec. 2 min. 3 sec., 9 min. 37 sec. 10 min. 31 sec. 18 min: 20 sec. The first thousand being partly coun ted while mapping was still going on, it Is probable that one-half were not seen, so that it may be estimated that 2,000 really fell in the course of 21 minutes. The time of the maxi mum thickness of the shower was 4 hours 25 min. This is two hours later than that given by the European observa tions of last year, showing a slight change in the position of the stream. The radiant point was very well defined being in right ascension, 10 hours 1 min. declination 22 deg. 30 sec. Next year the shower, if there be soy, will not begin until 10 a.m., Washington time, and therefore will be seen only in the Pacific Ocean. Many were remarkable for their brilliancy and fora brilliant train which usually vanished in a few seconds, but in one or two cases lasted several minutes. The most brilliant and thickest display came from the direction of Leo, which was about 60 deg. above the horizon ; and some from Canis Minor and from Coma Bernie°. The course of the meteors was principally north and east, though there were scatter ing ones from other directions.-1 have the honour to be your obedient servant, (Signed) "B. F. SA/1108, Osumi. Superintendent. " Hon. Gideon Weller, &watery of War." At the sitting yesterday of the Associated Cham bers of Commerce in London an interesting and important discussion took place on the subject of the extension of primary and technical education, resolutions relating to it having been prepared by the Leeds, Huddersfield, Kendal, Nottingham, and other chambers. Mr. Porter, M.P., Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. Dixon, M.P., Mr. D. Lupton, Mr. Behrens, Mr. L. I. Bell, Mr. Ripley, and other gentle -1 men took part in the debate, and • resolution was in the end adopted, affirming the opinion of the association that the rapid progress and high excellence of continental manufactures were mainly attributable to the existence of schools for technical education, which have been so long established in Germany and other parts of the Continent ; that to enable the manufactures of this country to main tain the pre-eminence they had oolong enjoyed, the neces sity of establishing similar institutions in this country should be urged upon government ; and that for this pur pose a committee be appointed by the Chambers to assist in the promotion of art and industrial education. MANFILAUGHTIaIt AT DONCASTER.—The extensive plant works at Doncaster, in mune:ion with the Great Northern Railway, were yesterday the scene of 11 painful tragedy. Two men, named William Burton and Thomas Moverley, were employed as smiths in the flame shop, and were yesterday pursuing their usual avocations. In the course of the day a dispute arms between them about cock-fighting, and a good deal of " chaff " was exchanged in consequence. The men about 4 o'clock in the afternoon were working three or four fires from each other, when Moverley went up to Burton, who was putting his iron in the fire, and said, " What the are you doing now ?'' and st the same time he patted him tauntingly on the shoulder, and gave him a thrust on the throat. With this Burton appears to have lost all control of his temper, and, taking Lis hammer, be struck Moverley a fearful blow over the head. The unfortu nate man was picked up insensible, and at once conveyed to St. James's Hospital, near the Plant Works; be never spoke again, and died before he reached the boom's'. In the meantime Burton left the works and wont home. It is said he told hie wife he had killed Moverley, and then, taking his boots off, went upstairs, where he washed him self and took off his working clothes. Shortly afterwards he was found by Police-sergeant Thompson sitting quietly before the fire. Thompson then apprehended him upon a charge of manslaughter. Burton is a married man, with four or five young children ; Moverley was also married, and had one child. Both lived in St. James's-street South, and were neighbours, but it is asserted there has been ill blood between them for some time. Mr. Supt. Gregory has the case in band, and will bring the prisoner before the borough magistrates this morning. The occur rence has created great sensation amongst the men at the Plant Works. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MUEDZR.—An extra ordinary trial for murder has just taken place at lifouilon, canton of Vaud, in Switzerland. A man named Hely Freymond had, before his • , which took pleas less than a year ago, been on terms of intimacy with a young woman, named Louise Freymond also, although no relation. The husband had, however, not ceased to see his former mistress, and the latter, whose hopes of brooming herself the wife of H6ly had been destroyed by this mar riage, employed the influence she possessed over him to induce him to poison Madame Freyoreed. He consented to do so by means of a cake in which arsenic bad been in troduced, and which he had the horrible cruelty to give to her when joyously playing together in a family party, arid although she was far advanced in pregnancy. The constitu tion of the wife having resisted this attempt, a stronger (Mee of poison was administered, and to which she succumbed. Madame Freymoud had left her fortune to he equally divided between her husband and her sister, Marie Ohs ier. The man then formed the project to main the latter, who waa, however, betrothed to a 11. Mettraux. To remove this impediment Hely Freymond invited Mettraux to accompany him on • walk, to make arrangements for the division of the property, and gave him a roll poisoned with strychnine ; the other ate the bread without suspicion, and fell to the ground in horrible convulsions, and Freymond believing them to be mortal, left him to his fate. Mettraux was, however, found by a friend, and was saved. Freymond was then arrested, and doubt' hating arisen as to whether the wife had died from natural causes, the body was ex homed and found to captain arsenic. He ass now brought to trial, with his mistress, and,after five flays' proceedings, WU condemned to death, and the woman to twenty years' impriseament. •ovl
