Solidi Bey leaver for Paris to-morrow, to remit the Sultan's presents, proceeding thence to Lon don on a similar mission. SCHLBSWIG-HOLSTEIN. ALTONA, Sm. 9. Herr Theodore Reinike, formerly vice-president of the Holstein estates, and a most zealous advo cate of the claims of the Prince of Augustenburg, has been summoned to Berlin by the Prussian government as one of the Schleswig-Holstein nota bles with whom it wishes to confer on questions relating to the Duchies. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Serr. 0. It is said that the Shah of Persia will shortly arrive at Livadia, in the Crimea. on a visit to the Czar. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 9. The official Berlingske Tidenfle of to-day says that Herr Ahlmann's election as a member of the North German Parliament was certain had it not been for the bribery which took place at the Flensburg and Apenrade elections, and also for the manner in which the Prussian government grouped the elec toral districts. The same journal shows that the frontier line is now further south than at the time of the elections which took place in February last, and adds that Alison and Sundewitt are once more proved to be a portion of Danish Schleswig. The Copenhagen journals state that the Prussian Legation in this city has instituted fresh legal pro ceedings against the Danish newspaper Heimdal, recently acquitted on a charge of using insulting language towards Prussia. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT. 9, Evionrc. The New Free Press of this evening says : " The reply of the Hungarian delegates to the proposals of the Austrian members of the Confe rence leaves untouched the question of the public debt. " The Austrian delegates insist that the amounts to be contributed to the public expenditure by both portions of the empire must be definitively fixed, and they will come to no arrangement with out a settlement of the proportion of the public debt to be assumed by Hungary. They refuse to discuss the budget of 1868, as having no authority to enter upon that point." The Official Evening Post declares that the draft of an Austro-Prussian treaty published by the Situation was a pure invention. Such a treaty, it says, is a political impossibility. The Presse states that yesterday the negotiations for an Anglo-Austrian treaty of commerce were formally concluded, and the documents on the sub ject signed. England, it adds, will enjoy the same advantages as aro to be accorded to the Zoll verein. INNSPRICK, Sam 9. The Roman catholic congress assembled hero to day. The number present was 500.

President Joluison has proclaimed a general amnesty, excluding only high rebel officials and persons implicated in the assassination of President Lincoln, or who maltreated Federal prisoners during the war. Gold, 143. The Admiralty officials at Liverpool are puahing on with the preparation of the ten steam transports for the service between Bombay and Massowah, and the greater number of these vessels have gone across to the Birken head docks, to take in coal from the tips there. A good deal of practical inconvenience, however, has been sus tained in consequence of the coalheavers having taken ad. vantage of the demand for their labour to strike for an advance of 25 per cent. on their wages, and in order that the work may not be retarded the government agents have been compelled to pay the advanced rate. The sailors also are endeavouring to make hay while the sun shines, and yes. terday a bill was issued, requesting all men who were about to engage for the expedition not to accept less than 41, per month wages, the present rate being 21. 10s. It is feared that, for the reason given above, this demand will also have to be complied with. The England, one of the steamers belonginz to the National Steam Company, is in the moat forward state, and will, it is understood, be the Brat despatched. MISCHIEVOUS FOLLY. —Three young Englishmen, said to be fresh from Oxford, have been amazing the people of Dinan, in Brittany, by crowning the head of the statue of the great Bertrand do Guesclin with a viatelia. Two of them got safely away after this silly exploit ; the third, whose name is Sweeting, was brought back from St. Halo, and justly sentenced to a fortnight's imprisonment. The judge who resided made some very sensible remarks. '' It is painful , " be said, "to see young men belonging to one of the great English Universities come to this country, where we welcome them so cordially, to outrage our Breton glories, and try to revive the hatred of evil days now gone by." And he reminded the prisoner that the English of those days paid the highest honours to the coffin of their illustrious enemy. Mr. Sweeting seemed to know nothing about that ; and the President suggested that Oxford might as well teach a little French history. Du Guesclin, however, is a man who belongs to inter national history. If you know anything of the dauntless Black Prince and of his wise General Sir John Chandos, you must also knew the great constable. Probably the foolish trio of Dinan are of that class of thoughtless young men who learn nothing until they are taught stern lessons by that harsh schoolmaster the world. Such puerile folly as theirs requires to be summarily checked. We regret that two of the three escaped from the punishment of their insolent conduct. However, they wilt doubtless meet with due humiliation when their parents and friends become acquainted with their conduct. They should be handed over to the head master of Uppingharn. The English residents at Dinan addressed to the Mayor an expression of their regret and indignation. And the Dinanaia newspaper calls upon its townspeople to forget the incident, and to remember only the prompti tude with which the English residents had repudiated the offence and manifested their sympathy with the people of Dinan. This is all very satisfactory, and is quite what was to be expected on both hands; the townspeople need not be annoyed by the foolish freak of three foreign boys. At the same time it may be observed that pro ceedings not dissimilar are a good deal too frequent among young EnAliah tourists. Ma. DICKENS AND AMERICA.—The New York Tribune ' of the 25th ult. gays :—" Charles Dickens is coming to the United States, to give a series of readings in the principal cities of the Republic. The announce ment will be received with pleasure throughout the country. It is not necessary to deprecate, as some of our con temporaries incline to do, • possible hostility toward Mr. Dickens on the part of the American public. No such feeling exist,. Our people do, indeed, remem ber the' American Notes,' and the satirical chapters in ' Martin Chuzzle wit,' and are, no doubt, of opinion that, as • matter of taste, Mr. Dickens might well have been more gracious. But, on the other hand, our people like free speech, and appreciate frankness—not forgetting that truth should be the North Star of authorship, and that there is a good deal of truth in what Mr. Dickens said about us on returning from his first visit to this country." Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo nlal-ofdoe from the governors of Gibraltar and Malta. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1867. AMERICA. By the arrival of the New York at Southampton, yesterday evening, we have advice. from New York to the 29th ult. The New York Tribune, of the 29th, says that there is a fear in the minds of some people that President Johnson may remove Grant from the head of the army. Congress foresaw the possi bility of such a thing, and prevented it at the last session by adding to the Army Appropriation Bill a clause providing that :-1. The headquarters of the army shall be in the city of Washington. 2. All orders and instructions relating to military operations, issued by the President or Secretary of War, shall be issued through the General of the Army, and in case of his disability, through the next in rank. 3. The General of the Army shall not be removed, suspended, or relieved from command or assigned to duty elsewhere than at said headquarters, except at his own request, with out the previous approval of the Senate ; and " any orders or instructions relating to military opera tions issued contrary to the requirements of this section shall be null and void; and any *Bison Woe shall issue orders or instructions contrary to the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor in office; and any officer of the army who shall transmit, convey, or obey, any orders or instructions so issued, contrary to the provisions of this section, knowing that such orders were so issued, shall be liable to imprisonment for not less than two nor more than 20 years, upon conviction thereof in any court of competent jurisdiction." This act (the Tribune says) was approved by the President under protest, the section above quoted being the one to which he objected. Mr. John son's war paper is not negotiable until it has the indorsement of General Grant. The correspondent of the New York Times, writing on the 24th ult., gives the following ac count of the final proceedings at the Chicago Labour Congress : The concluding session of the National Labour Congress was held to-day. Ar • reprearntive body of the working men of the country, the Congress may be said to be a failure, both in numbers and in some other respects. There were only about 60 present, and many of these were not labouring men, except that they labour with pen and tongue. Ne►rly all who took a prominent part in the business of the convention, or congress, were of this de amiption. An attempt to designate a " national organ" was made, and, after some discussion, indefinitely post poned. This result was reached on account of each of the delegates favouring the " organ" of their respective localities. The subject of finance seemed to be a most em barrassing one, and a want of the necessary funds to meet expenses was apparent at every step. A resolution was adopted that the National Labour Congress express its sympathy sad co-operation with the labouring classes of Eu rope, in their struggles against political and social wrongs. A resolution was passed protesting against the extension of the Howe sewing -machine patent, and against the ex tension of the patent of all labour-saving machines when the patentee had received a fair remuneration. Mr. Cameron, of this city, in view of the utter failure of the Eight-hour Law of this State, offered the following reso lution, which was adopted :—" Resolved,—That it is the sense of this convention that it is inexpedient for any State or locality, under existing circumstances, to attempt to secure the adoption of the eight-hour system until the same be recognised by the National Legislature." The Congress adjourned sine die. In the evening • " ratifica tion meeting" was held in the Court-house-square, which was addressed by several gentlemen. Their remarks were generally upon the necessity of forming a national labour political party. THE WELSH EISTEDDFOD. —The national Eistedd fod of Wales closed on Friday. At the litimptia.ses the morning the Order of Orate., Bards, and Oral& was con ferred upon a number of candidates with due ceremony. At 10 o'clock there was a general meeting of members and subscriber, at the Town-ball, when, among other business that was transacted and discussed, the treasurer's report of last year's Eisteddfod at Chester was presented. By this it appeared that the total amount received in con nexion with that occasion was 1,945/. 18s., and that 2,3331. 6s. were expended, so that a balance of 3871. fts. re mains due to the treasurer. In the pavilion Mr. H. L. Palley, of Cork, was installed as president of the day, and he delivered the customary sddrese. A number of prism were awarded, among the principal of which were—The vocal scholarship, value 50/. ; second prize, 10/. Tho first was awarded to Mr. Richard Cadwallader Williams, of Carnarvon ; and the second to Mr. Phillips, of Aberdare. The prize of 1001. for the best essay " On the Advantaf es of Milford Haven as a Commercial Port of National Im portance," was divided between Mr. J. C. Fowler, stipen diary magistrate of Merthyr, 601. ; and Mr. W. J. Williams, of Brecon, 401. A vote of thanks was paned to the pre sident, which closed the proceedings. THE CHURCH INSTITUTION IN IRELAND. —A meeting in defence of the Irish church, similar to that held at Cavan, has been held at Longford. It was there stated by the Archdeacon of Armagh t ha t in very few Irish pa rishes is the income of the rector over 4001. a year, and only one in every hundred of the 1,510 benefices is worth that sum. One great injury if the church were removed, ho contended, would be an increase of absenteeism, which was one of the greatest grievances and injuries to Ireland. In many parishes there were really no gentry but the clergy. The Irish church had made great progress : in 1730 there were only 800 clergy, now there were 2,672. In 1730 the churches numbered 430, now they were 1,579. In 1730 there were 141 glebe-houses, in 18eA there were 978. CURIOUS PROPERTY CASE.—IL is now about 40 years since Mr. Blair, a wealthy gentleman residing in Tranent, died, having first made • will bequeathing his property, amounting to something like 25,000 f., in a parti cuLir manner. Mr. Blair had an only daughter, to whom, after the demise of his widow, the property was left in liferent— the jus ateriti of the daughter s husband being carefully excluded, so as to protect the interests of the daughter's children, who, on the death of their mother, came next in succession. It appears that the daughter emigrated, along with her husband, to Canada, and there brought up a pretty numerous family, four or five of whom still survive--grandchildren of the late Mr. Blair, of Tranent. Both father and mother have been dead some years ; but the children, though young at the time of their emigrating to Canada, had learned that they had some claim to property in Scotland. To obtain a restitution of such rights as they deem themselves possessed of, one of the family has come over from Canada, and is at present busily engaged in making an investigation on the spot into the circumstances connected with the transfer of, the pro perty into other hands than those contemplated by the grandfather's era —lladdington Courier. EXTRAORDINARY ANGLING IN THE THAMES.—At the commencement of the fishing season this year the Thames puntmen were perplexed and dispirited at the non-success that attended the anglers' efforts. Now, how ever, " takes " of • wonderful character are being made in the tidal waters about Richmond, Twickenham, and Teddington. One punt on Friday last took nearly 20 dozen of fine dace, and • day or two previously another punt took 13 dozen at Rishmond. Two gentlemen fishing for two entire days at Twickenham caught 42i dozen of roach and dace, some of the former weighing over lib. each. One of the Great Lake trout, which the Thames Angling Preservation Society are propagating, was taken in gudgeon fishing at Kingston last week, and measured 6 inches. This fact is nearly as interesting as would have been a grilse taken at Sunbury-weir, and proves that fish hatching is likely to be very successful. The persistent efforts of Mr. Brougham, the secretary of the above men tioned society, to see its salutary rules carried into effect have been attended with marked and gratifying success. THE RECENT ACCIDENT AT THE MOUTH OF THE TlEL—About six weeks ago an accident happened at the mouth of the Tyne, six persons being drowned by the capsizing of a boat. It will be recollected that a boat put off to the rescue, manned by five pilots, and succeeded in saving two men. One of the pilots—Stephenson—on running down to the beach to launch the boat, stumbled and fell, splitting one of his hands right up the middle. Mr. Favell, coroner for Durham, who held an inquest on the bodies of the drowned, having brought the gallant conduct of the pilots under the attention of the National Lifeboat Association writes as follows to Mr. Superinten dent Richardson, of the South Shields police force :—" I have reeeivedaletter this morning health° secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution, in reference to my applica tion to them in July last for some reward to Henry Stephenson, and five men who saved the lives of the persons capsized in a boat on the Herd Sands, in which they inform me that the committee have granted a reward of 21. to Stephenson, tho cozwsin, and 10s. each to the other four men. The money will be paid by the officer of the eoaatguard at Tynemouth." PATENT-OFTICE MUSEUM, SOUTH KENSINGTON.— Nnmber of visitors for the week ending Sept. 7, 2.2%9; total number since the opening of the Museum free daily (12th May, 1868),1,180,2.57. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT DUNDEE. , DUNDEE, MONDAT. In point of importance, perhaps, no section of the Association can vie with the chemical. In point of popular interest. almost every other exceeds it. The expe riments are often extremely ingenious, and the results very v.iluable, but their value can for the moat part be known only to the initiated. From this description Mr. Spiller's paper on the decay of stone was an exception. Mr. Spiller's opinion is that the corrosive action of the atmosphere on our public buildings is owing to the sulphuric acids diffused through the air. Mr. Spence alas took this view. The latter gentleman stated that 120 tons of sulphur were poured annually into the atmosphere by the chimneys of Manchester. If they got rid of the black smoke, they would have a still stronger acid than at present. Mr. Spitler estimated that the combustion of a ton of oral evolved nearly 701 b. of vitriol. Here, then, is the source of the sulphates found in the loosened crust of decayed stones. Fresh from the quarry, the stones of Caen, Portland, and Bath contain scarcely a trace of sul phates, whereas they make the scrapings from the de cayed portions of the New Palace at Westminster bitter to the taste. Among the places to which Mr. Spiller says the aqueous solution of superphosphate of lime has been successfully applied are St. John's Church, Woolwich; the almshouses at Northfleet College ; the facade of the Grand Hotel, Brighton ; and the Army Clothing Esta blishment, Woolwich. Protegees. Austad is of opinion that appliances to save buildings from decay should be made while the stone is in the quarry. In the kindred section of Biology the public take greater interest. It is perhaps to be regretted that the interesting paper of Dr. Richardson, on " The extraordi nary effects of ether spray in destroying locally all feeling and vitality," left no time for discussion. Dr. Richardson is an excellent expounder. He showed the effect of the ether upon hie own arm, which appeared to be completely deprived of all sensibility. A portion of it might seem ingly have been cut out with a knife without giving pain at the time. Mr. E. Hay Lenkester is one of the several young men who have made valuable contributions to the interest of this meeting. A paper of his on the boring of limestone by annelids was very interesting. The fact that soft and tiny little molluscs can make their way into hard lime stone piers and riddle boulders and slabs on the sea-shore is very remarkable. Mr. Lsnkester brought forward the annelids, whose boring properties have been somewhat overlooked. How do these small worms manage to per forate hard stones? The paper suggested that it was by means of the carbonic acid excretions from their bodies, and the mechanical action of the antenna—a view in which most of the speakers concurred. The display of philosophical instruments this year is extremely limited. Probably more will be shown at the soirie to-morrow. Mr. Ladd's dynamo-magnetic machine and Sir W. Thompson's new electric machine are im portant accessions. Both are remarkable for economy. Sir William compares his instrument to the " success ful merchant," who commenced life with • halfpenny and realised in a month the handsome sum of U. Up to • certain limit his small simple machine goes on increasing in power without any additional expenditure. Mr. Ladd's apparatus provides for the production of • continuous electric light at no farther expense than keep ing the rotating wheels in motion. The cheap produc tion of electricity, and especially of electric light, may prove • great benefit for lighthouse purposes, and an aid to signalling generallT. Unfortunately, neither of these papers left time for discussion. Mr. Ladd is to exhibit on Tuesday • machine for the production of ozone. Hitherto ozone has been obtainable only in small quantities. The machine in question will, its said, yield • constant supply. Its inventor expects that it will contribute to the perfec tion of the sugar manufacture. To the study of the interesting question, Was man originally savage? Sir John Lubbock, Bart., F.A.S., President of the Entomological Society, made an interest ing contribution. Considerable discussion followed. MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE. Newton's theory that the white light of day is the blending of the different coloured rays separated by the prism is well known and generally accepted. Mr. Henry Schaefer read • paper contributed by Mr. John Smith, of Perth, following out the theory which he first brought up at Aberdeen, that light is simple and homogeneous. Mr. Smith believes that the varieties of colour are entirely due to the alternations of light and shadow, and to the different character of vibrations canoed by the introduction of the prism. He attempts to confirm this theory by the fact that certain opaque bodies under pressure may be made to change colour. To this section Oolonel Sncrs, H.P., also contributed • paper on the subject of " Storm Signals," and advocated their resumption. He spoke in term, of high admiration of Admiral Fitzroy'. system of warnings, and averted that they had been discontinued in obedience to the demands of the pedantic affectation of science. In his opinion the storm signals were of the utmost importance to the com mercial and maritime communities. Mr. STUHROCH, president of the Dundee Chamber of Commerce, agreed with the views broached by Colonel Sykes. Mr. GASSIOT defended the course taken by the Royal Society, as airs did Mr. BALFOUR Stumm Mr. )11u45 Hors, president of the Meteorological So ciety, moved • resolution, calling upon the council to petition government to resume the storm signals. The Duko of BCCCLEUCII, without entering into the scientific question, expressed his belief that the warnings were useful, and seconded the motion, which was sup ported by Sir J. OGILVT, M.P. Mr. GLAISHEn caged that the warnings, and not me teorological notices, that might not be understood, should be at once resumed. Great interest was manifested in the question, the sec tion being crowded. Eventually the motion was carried. GEOLOGY. In this section, Mr. PENGILLY read the report of the committee appointed to investigate the Kent's Cave, at Brixham. He reported that they had found mammas and traces of man. Amongst the teeth a mammoth molar. Among human relics they had found bone implements, a bone comb highly finished, a highly finished pin, a grit spindle a whole and a portion of • nitched stool looking measuring rod. The moat interesting discovery this year was portions of a human skeleton, including vertebra., lower jaw, loose teeth, and part of skull. These remains rendered it impossible to doubt that man occupied Ihvon. shire while it was the home of extinct lions, hyenas, mam moth, and their contemporaries. The most finished tools were at the lowest levels. There was a hope of finding human remains in red earth. Thegoologicsl and archaeo logical evidences were concurrent, and caused great in terest. . . Sir Camila. LT/2.1, emphatically praised the manner of the explorations. Mr. Wurr had found the same type of implements in the low-level gravels of Bedford, associated with the bone of the Elephus Antigun.. Other speakers concurred that the evidence was conclusive. _ . _ Sir WILLI AM Triograms read a paper, written by Dr. Schwartz, on " The Internal Heat of the Earth." The writer denied that any perceptible effect could have been produced by internal heat on the surface of the earth within the last fifty million Team and called upon the British Association to inquire into the alleged increase of temperature in descending pits. Sir William Thompson believed that a committee would be appointed to consider the matter. ECONOMIC SCIENCE. Six papers were reed by looal members and associates, on the linen manufactures, engineering trade, iron ship building, whale fisheries, leather manufactures, and the confectionery and marmalade trades of Dundee. A variety of interesting facts were brought out illustrative of the progress of trade in the district. CHEMISTRY. In this section Dr. RICHARDSON read a paper on methyl compounds. He stated, as the result of experiments, that chloroform caused death by arresting nervous action, and not by a muscular action on the heart. He said that the danger of using it as an aniesthetio arose from the difficulty of eliminating it from the body. The titachloride of carbon he declared to be still more dangerous, and its use was to be denounced. He recommended nitrate of methyl, and still more bichloride of methylen. He showed by expert. ments that the latter was harmless and easily manageable. Mr. Nunnelley, of Leeds, praised these researches, and stated his belief that pure hydro-carbon would turn out to be the best iunistbetic. The general concurrence of opinion among the Associa tion is, that next year's meeting shall be held at Norwich. The claims of Plymouth, Exeter, Edinburgh, and Liver pool will be considered for 1869. It was decided this after noon that In. Hooker, of Kew-gardens, the well-known botanist and traveller, should be the president of the association next year. The excuraion to St. Andrew's on Saturday included a dinner in the hall of the United College, where a dis tinguished company of literary and scientific men as sembled under the presidency of Principal Tußoth. Professor PHILLIPS acknowledged the toast of "The British Association," proposed by the chairman ; Sir W. Thompson proposed " The University and City," to which Principal Tulloch responded ; and for the toast of " The Geological Section of the British Association," proposed by Dr. Robert Chambers, Mr. Geikie returned thanks. The Rev. Dr. A. K. R. Bow then proposed "Scientific Travel and Exploration," coupled with the name of Dean Stanley, on whom he passed a high eulogium, and said he had perhaps more friends in St. An&aw's than he was aware of. [ STABIPED, ld. ADDITIORAL. Dean STANLET said he wished to express his sincere thanks for the way in which the company had received the toast, and to his friend Dr. Boyd for the kind way in which he had proposed it. He felt that he had no claim whatever to be present— not only no claim to respond to the toast, but to be present on this occasion. He felt like Saul among the prophets. (Laughter.) But these were two points as to which he might trey that the toast which Dr. Boyd had proposed connected him both with St. Andrew's and with the British Association. He bad a certain foible, that he had never been able fully to believe any histori cal event till he had seen the locality in which it had occurred. (A laugh.) It was that which originally brought him to St. Andrew's. He could not believe, after all he had read, that Archbishop Sharp had really been murdered till be had examined Magus Moor—(laughter)—and his friend Principal Tulloch would remember the trouble he (the dean) gave him, when he took him over the brambles to see the exact spot on which the murder took place. (Laughter and applause.) But after that he had conic year after year to see St. Andrew's • and, from the charm of the place it had always been a kind of second uni versity to him. (Applause.) He bad been able to pursue his studies here apart from the constant abstractions of London and Westminster, and he did not think that he could have pursued them better in any other place. He therefore felt that he had a right to come here on account of what he considered a WI-matriculated con nexion with the university. (Applause.) The other I thing connecting him with the British Association was the I exploration of Palestine. He wished he could lay any claim to be an explorer. He bad seen Palestine, as thou sands of other travellers had done, without having an opportunity of exploring. On that ground he thought it necessary that there should be a fund established for the exploration of those mysteries which no mere traveller had been able to ascertain ; and it was with pleasure that he had heard the subject brought before the association. (Applause.) Napoleon, when he was at Jaffa, was asked by some one to go and see Jerusalem; but lie replied, "It is not within the line of my operations." (Laughter.) It gave him great satisfaction to think that the British Association took a different view of this matter, and that it had con fessed that Jerusalem, in more senses than one, lay within I the sphere of its operations. (V o l;r e e e l. Professor Fun, St. Andrew's. " The Economic Section of the British Association," coupled with the name of Mr. Grant Duff, M.P. He dwelt at some length on the value of economic science, and on the able manner in which Mr. Grant Duff performed his duties as a mem ber of parliament. Mr. GRANT Dun', M.P., returned thanks. He said he had no doubt that the compliment had been paid to the Economic Section for this reason, that the Scottish univer sities, from no fault of their own, had to the science of Adam Smith that full and cordial recog nition that might have been expected. (Hear, bear.) I From whose fault was it? From the fault of the state— from the fault of the House of Commons. He walked down from the station in company with a distinguished professor of Oxford, who said to him, " Your great Scotch ecclesiastics seem never to have done so much for learning as they did in England:' to which he replied, " They did what they could." (Applause.) He was happy to say that the benevo- lence of Scotland was beginning to flow towards the universities (applause)—and that it was taking chiefly and wisely the form of fellowships to give encouragement to those who bad made certain progress in learning. Looking to the statistics laid before parliament, and to those laid before the Economic Section by Profaner Levi, he did not think that any man could doubt that Scotland had a claim to additional grants from the state. (Applause.) He referred to the deputation who went to government last spring regarding the universities, and said he hoped that next ear it would be more successful. At all events , it wou ld go up every session until its request was granted. (Applause.) He hoped the deputation would in future include a deputy from St. Andrews University, which had the honour of being the most ancient, and was presided over by one of the greatest of the men of science, and also by one of the wisest and most liberal of Scotch men. (Applause.) Professor Rooms, Oxford, proposed " The Houses of Parliament." Sir ROBERT Agirriiirrann, in replying, said he had ' no fear that any parliament in future would reverse the great measures which the parliaments in the put had passed ; and he concluded by expressing a hope that the greatness of the country might stand as high under the new Reform Bill as it did under the one that was shortly to expire. (Applause.) Dr. STOBRAR proposed " The Course of Social Pawns," coupled with the name of Sir John BowriLig. Professor CAMPBELL then proposed " The Literature of Science," coupled with the name of Professor Kingsley. He also mentioned the names of Principal Forbes, Dr. Chambers, and others who deserved honour in connection with this toast. Professor KiNcscer said be had to return thanks for the unexpected honour of coupling his name with any toast within these learned walls, and especially in connec tion with the meeting of a body such as the British Amor dation. He did not speak for those honoured names which Professor Campbell had chosen to mention, but only for those whom he might be used to represent. He and they seemed to be the camp followers of science, coming on after the great columns of the army, hanging on to the outskirts—perhaps taking care of the sick end wounded—perhaps foraging and plundering • little. (Laughter and applause.) Other men laboured, and they entered into their labours. (A laugh.) However the best thing they could say was that while they robbed—and they robbed pretty handsomely too--(laughter)— they always kept a few scraps for the children. (Ap plawit.) He who made the universe, or caused it to be made, was speaking to little children face to face in everything. (Applause.) If they, as the poor camp-fol lowers of science, could only get a few little children to' , understand that, by telling them to look at fact as the most sacred thing they could see with their eyes, or hear with their ears, or understand with their young under standings, then, by the blessing of God, they could do much by training up • race of boys and girls who should be able to take in the facts gradually developed, and, at all events, have the email facts from the real men he saw around him ; and thus they would have saved the British Association a gnat deal of unnecessary trouble. (Ap- Omen) A CHARM ER.—An instance of gross superstition his just oome under our notice in this town (Tauston)— abounding with churches, chapels, collegiate institutions, and schools— which we publish for the edification of those who still believe in the rower of the conjurer. Not ono hundred miles from the Taunton and Somerset HosMIA, on the opposite side of the road, is a beerhouse, the land lady of which had used too freely of chalk, and deeply re petted that she should have been so simple as to have permitted so much alcohol to have been drunk without payment. In fact she was owed • oonsiderable sum. A wide-awake customer, doubtless, knew this, and waited upon her to get a little more money out of her already shrunken pocket by stratagem. His name is Bovbier, and he gets a livelihood by consulting the oracles, curing all sorts of diseases by incantations, and compelling debtors to pay creditors by potent spells. He told the landlady that he was the seventh son of the seventh son of old conjurer Baker, a man who, many years ago, resided at Westleigh.near Wel lington, and in those days was looked upon by the country people as "a wise man." The landlady had heard of the great repute of Baker, as she when young resided in his neighbourhood. the asked him whether he had power to "charm " persons who owed Ler money, and his reply was that nothing was easier. lie asked for a small blue plate, into which he poured some ink, placing in the centre, cress-ways, two crooked pins. This she was to place under her bed at the bewitching hour of night, saying each even ing for four days, " Abacadabra, Abacadabra, Abaca dabra." In fifteen days therefrom the plate was to be removed, and whilst she was carefully cleaning it, to say " Cabadahabra, Cahadahabra, Cabadahbra." In fifteen days from thence the whole of her debtors, if even in London, would send the amount of the money they owed. For this he received Si, with a promise of 10s. more should his prognostications be verified. We need scarcely say that the has not seen any of her money since, nor has she seen the fellow, who, she is now convinced, is • thorough scoundrel.— Western Liasly Press. THE OAKS COLLIERY.—Owing to the change in the plan for opening out the workings some delay has been occasioned, but the greatest precautions have been taken to lessen the risk of any senous interruption when an entrance is effected. At the bottom of the shaft there are three porches, there being two branches from the west, one going to the cupola and the other to the south leveL The greater part of the porches has been walled in, whilst in the south one two doors have been fixed, to pre vent the fresh air from entering whilst the men are engaged in exploring with their gas-proof dresses. On leaving off work on Saturday evening at air o'clock, there was only some three or four hours' work to do before all was completed. Whilst the men were engaged at the bottom during the week a small field moues was found alive, and, singularly enough, a similar animal was seen by young Barker on the night of the explosion when searching for the bodies. THE PANAMA RAILROAD. —An interesting state ment has recently been compiled by Colonel Totten, the chief engineer of the Panama Railroad, showing the trade of the railway from the opening in 1855 to December, 1866. From this statement it appears that during the twelve years the road has been in operation there base been trans ported over it 396032 passengers, 501,218,748 dollars in gold, 147,377,113 dollars in silver, 5,130.010 dollars in jewellery, 19,062,567 dollars in paper money, and 614,535 tons of mail matter, baggage, merchandise, and coal 1 eaterday Harlow annual fair was held, but the cattle plague regulations prohibited the trade in horned cattle. There was a brisk horse fair, and good sound animals found boyess at high prima. (TWOPENCE *parttng intelligence. TATTERSALL'S. -MON DAY. Many of the members having taken their departure for Doncaster there was but a thin attendance at Albert-gate to-day, and as some of those present were bound for the 5.25 train the business transacted was of limited extent and brief duration. The Great Yorkshire Handicap was mentioned now and then, with offers of sto 1 on the field but the backing of Monitreu for a small amount at 8 to 1 was the only actual transaction that came under our notice in connexion with this event. No change took place on the St. Leger. Hermit remained as firm as possible, while Achievement appeared to have lived down all opposition, and parties were now as anxious to back her as they were a few days since to lay. For a long time no longer odds than 5 to 4 were forthcoming against Mr. Chaplin's colt, but immediately one speculator offered 550 to 400, be was shot, and the backer seemed pleased with his bargain. There were numerous offers to take 2to 1 about Achievement, but 7 to 4 were the current odds. It is true that 190 to 100 was onoeoffered, but backers were firm in standing out for their price, and consequently the mare was not backed. Vauban was industriously inquired after, and it was proposed again and again to accept 11 to 1 but as offers stopped short at 10 to 1 nothing came of this either. Of the outsiders, Fervacques was the only one who came in for support, the representative of that &Villa' accepting 30 Mike sad 1000 to 35, the last named bet being also bookdin another quarter. At the same time 5 to 1 would have been taken about " the Frenchman" for a plow but no one would make ;an offer. There were a few buts booked on the Ceearewitch. Ar mower was supported at 1000 to 40 twice, and the same odds would have been taken again, but offers were now reduced to 20 to 1 • 500 to 15 apt Lothario, 40 " ponies zortman, and 1000 to 10 apt Miss Havelock completed the afternoon's transactions.

To-day there was • " full house " and brisk business. Operations commenced with the Great Yorkshire Handi cap, and for some time Seville, Priest, and Bmdamante were each laid against at 8 to 1 ; towards the cloec, how ever, offers against the first-named did not exceed 6to 1, while Mr. Payne's mare slightly receded, 100 to 12 being laid and offered. Thalia was supported early in the day at 10 to 1, but 100 to 8 was afterwards offered, at which odds 500 to 40 was booked. Monitress, who ap peared on Saturday to be numbered among the dead, was resuscitated to-day, and found friends at prices ranging from 100 to Bto9to 1, this being her fi nal quotation taken. The remaining homes backed were Weather Star, Knight Errant, and La Dauphine, but the investments in each instanoe were limited, and in a few words it may be noted that East Lancashire dropped to 100 to 4. For the St. Leger, 100 to 80 was booked four or five times about Hermit, and sto 4 was pretty freely accepted on all bands. Achievement would have met with substantial rapport at 2to 1 ; in fact, one speculator offered to take 1000 to 500, but no more than 7to 4 was to be bad for love or money. Vauban had a healthy appearanoe, coming in for a fair share of support at 10 to 1, and rejoicing in many place buckets, who unhesitatingly booked 3 to 2 about him for • " situation." Another feature of the morning's speculation was the laying 55 to 40 on Hermit against Achievement, best of 1 2 3, the backer repeating this bet three times, and desiring to go on. Of the other candi dates, Challenge was the only one whose name was written, 500 to 20 being the transaction. The first Cesarewitch quotation was 20 to 1 on the field. an offer that remained open to the finish. Some half-dozen limas were backed, but not for much, Maid of Masham filly and King Victor being apparently in most request.

In consequence of this report, however, the betting underwent some change. 8 to L was loudly offered on the field, while 5 to 1 was offered against Priest running, and 3to 1 agst Seville running. 9to 1 was taken about Bradamante, 10 to 1 each Monitrem and Weather Star, 100 to 8 each apt Thalia and Gluier. The St. Leger betting at this time was 500 to 400 apt Hermit taken, 1800 to 1000 and 500 to 300 agst Achievement taken, both being in great force. The mare during the evening was backed to win upwards of 10,0001. For the Cesarewitch, 1000 to 10 was taken about Minster.
