The annual meeting of this society was held yes terday at Burlington.houe ; Sir It. MURCIII/10N, the presi dent, in the chair. The report of the council was read and adopted ; the president was re-elected, and some re-elec tions and elections in the council took place. The founder's medal was presented to Admiral Alexis Butakoff, of the Russian Navy, for being the first to launch and navigate ships in the Sea of Aral, and other services in the cause of geographical science and discovery. The patron's medal was awarded to Dr. Isaac J. Hayes, of the United States, for his expedition to the Polar Sea. Mr. Adams, the American minister, returned thanks on behalf of Dr. Hayes. The President then delivered hit annual address, in which the follow im remarks were made touching the fate of De Livingstone : During the last few months our thoughts have been di rected, with painful interest, to the last enterprise of our eminent associate, Livingstone. For reasons which I have explained at our evening meetings, and also through the public press, I have never admitted that there existed any valid proof whatever of the death of that great traveller. And now that Arab merchants have arrived from a spot close to the reported scene of the murder, long after the event was said tohave taken place, and brought to the Sultan of Zanxibar the intelligence that he had passed safely int* the friendly Babies country to the westward, and that a report had arrived at Zanzibar that • white man had I reached the Inks Tanganyika, we have fresh grounds for hoping that he may now be pursuing his journey is the interior. In truth, we have recently obtained good evi dence of the mendacity of the man Moose, on whose state ment alone the death was reported—it being known that he has given one version of it to the consul and Dr. Kirk at Zanzibar, and also to the British resident at Johanna, and an entirely different one to the Sepoy examined, on his return to Bombay, by Colonel Rigby. We have, therefore, the strongest grounds for disbelieving the story altogether, and for hoping that oar great traveller has passed safely through the intermediate La °pantry and reached the ke Tanganyika, the great object of his mission. Already Livinptene, by crossing the northernend of his own Lake Byars, has determined One important point in respect to the watershed of South Atrial, for he has proved, according to Dr. Kirk, that this great sheet of water here terminates, and is not connected with the more northerly Lake Tanganyika. If be has been spared, saws all hope he has before him as grand a career as was overlaid out before an African explorer, it being now probable that Tanganyika, a fresh-water sea which must have an outlet, is connected on the north with the Albert Nyanza of Baker and others belonging to the Nile system. Let! us, then ' trust that Livingstone has been enabled t o solve this singularly-interesting problem. In the mean time, not believing in the death of Livingstone on the sole testimony of his cowardly baggage-bearers who tied, I am sure the society and the public will approve of the course I recommended, and in which I was cordially supported by the council, and, to their great credit, by her Majesty's government, namely, to send out • boat expedition to the head of Lake Nyasa, and thus ascertain the truth. If by this exhaustive search we &seer tain that, sceptical as we are, the noble fellow did fall at that spot where the Johanna men said he was killed, why then, alas ! at our next anniversary, it will be the sad duty of your president, in mourning for his loss, to recite all the wondrous achievements of his life. If, on the contrary, we should learn from our own envoys, and not merely from Arab traders, that be has paned on into the interior (and this we shall ascertain in six or seven months), why then, trusting to the skill and the Indomitable pluek of Livingstone, we may feel assured that, among friendly negro tnbes, who know that he is their steadfast frien d, he may still realise one of the grandest geographica l triumphs of our era, the connexion of the great Tanganyika with the waters of the Nile system. But even here I would have my countrymen who are accustomed to obtain rapid intelligence of distant travellers not to de spair if they should be a year or more without any news of our undaunted friend. For, if he be alive , they must recollect that he has with him • very small band only of I faithful Degrees, no one of whom could be spared to tra- I verse the wide regions between Lake Tanganyika and the coot. Until he himself reappears (and how long was he unheard of in his first peat traverse of Southern Africa '.')we have, therefore, little chance of knowing the true resultof his mission. (Cheers.) The party which I have announced is about to proceed to Eastern Africa, to are **curate informa tion concerning Livingstone, win be commanded by Mr. E. D. Young, who did exoelleut service in the former Zambesi expedition, in the management of the Lady Nunn, river boat. With him will be associated Mr. Henry Faulkner, a young volunteer of great promise, and two aoclunstised men, one a mechanic and the other • seaman. The eedition, I am happy to say, Is warmly supported by her Majesty's government, and the building of the boat is rapidly progressing I under the orders of the Board of Admiralty. The government have arranged for the transport of the party to the Cape, with the boat and stores, by the African mail-steamer on the 9th of next month. Arrived there, one of our cruisers will take them to the Luabo mouth of the Zambesi, where the boat will be put together and the party—having engaged a crew of negroes—left to pursue their noble and adventurous errand, by theZzmbesi. ! the Shire, and the Lake Nyasa On account of the heavy seas which prevail on the western or lee. ward side of the lake, the expedition will keep close to the eastward shore, which is hitherto unexplored, and it is expected it will reach Ksmpunda, at the northern ex tremity, by the end of Sep- ember, and there ascertain whether our great traveller has perished as reported, or has passed forward in safety to Cazeinbe and Tanganyika. The remaining portion of Sir Roderick's address consisted of general observations on the progress of geography in all parts of the world. In conclusion he said that in terminat ing his thirteenth presidential address be must ask the society, when the coming year had terminated, to find a younger chief, as be found his many duties press too heavily upon him. A hearty vote of thanks to the presi dent was given at the close of the proceMtu The annual dinner took place at Willis's Rooms in to evening, the President in the chair. Amongst the guests were the Marquis de Fontanelle, the American ambassador, Sir H. Rawlinson, MP., Sir C. Nicholson, Mr. H. W. Bates, Captain Brown, Sir G. Lee, Sir C. Wyke, Sir B. Mayne, Professor Ramsay, Earl of Enniskillen. Sir P. G.

ROYAL COLLIOII Or SUBOZONS.—At a special meeting of the council yesterday, Mr. Samuel Solly, ' F.R.S. surgeon to St. Thomas's Hospital, was elected • member of the Court of Examiners, in the vacancy occa sioned by the resignation of Sir William Lawrence, Bart.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1867. THE PARIS EXHIBITION. (now oos sPICIAL Exhibition festivities have been the order of the week in Paris and on the Champ de Mars. First and foremost, it was on Wednesday the grand din ner given by President Schneider to the members of the Imperial Commission and the International Jury took place. There were 200 guests, among whom were Earl Cowley, the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, Marshal Valiant, Mon seigneur Darboy, M. Pietri, M. Le Play, General Facet, the Duke de Mouchy, M. Hausmann, Mar quis d'Havrincourt, M. Meiasonnier, Mr. Cole, Mr. Owen, Count Nieuwerkerke, Count de Lavalette, £c., &c. During dinner the band of the Garde de Paris played the national airs of all the countries represented at the table. Paris bands must be strong in national airs by this time. The weekly Wednesday evening reception followed, and the ' salons of the Presidency were crowded with nota bilities of all nations ; for, beyond all doubt, all nations are by this time represented on the banks of the Seine. The Exhibition throng at the British Embaniyon Friday, albeit not so great numerically, was more remarkable than at the ball given in honour of the Prince of Wales. The Exhibition has disa inted none in the number of national re fives it has dralyn. The _Puctbeas of Russia visited the Exhibition on Wednesday at noon. She entered by the Porte Rapp, and was taken in a Bath chair to the Russian restaurant (a few hundred yards), where she breakfasted. She afterwards visited the Industrial Show of Bavaria, in which she appeared greatly interested ; and thence she went to the French Fine Art galleries. The Bath chairs, whether hewing duchesses or only a bourgeoise, are the despair of the serious' visitor who condescends to walk like an ordinary mortal. They block up the narrow alleys. One drives you almost into a glass case ; you turn, and find it occupied by a lady who, to all appearances, could do her ten miles easily. On Wednesday the Prince Napoleon, accompa nied by M. Le Play and M. Albert Le Play, went to Billancourt. The journey was made each way in the Prince's own yacht. The island still is de solate. I cannot conceive why the authorities are delaying the completion of their plans, unless in deed they are waiting for summer weather, which seems as if it were never coming this year. The cold, wind, dust, and rain, assailing us at the end of May, would be unseasonable even in March. On Monday there is to be a sale by auction of some of the animals exhibited at Billancourt. But who thinks of Billancourt ? The ploughing matches were compressed within a week. They who have ventured thither have returned with painful expe riences of bad weather, defective conveyance, and a dismal show. Yet there is a splendid display of agricultural implements on the inland. Time may put all right. An accident happened on Wednesday in the English section of the machinery gallery. An ex hibitor was explaining his machine to a visitor. An involuntary movement of a passer-by set the mechanism going, and the finger with which the unfortunate exhibitor was pointing was literally crushed. lam not surprised at this. In every part of the machinery gallery there is want of proper precaution. An accidental move by a passer-by could not possibly have put the machine in motion had the machine been properlyprotected. Aa yet there has been no over-crowding in the gal lery ; but when the great popular days come, and the attendance exceeds 200,000, how many acci dents will happen if the present slender precautions are not improved ? I will add, while on the subject of visitors and their numbers, a calculation made by the imperial authorities that will enable the curious in probeWities to speculate on the financial results of the Exhibition. It appears, according to my informant, that the commissioners have found they require a daily attendance of 52,000 franc visitors, from the opening day to the closing day, to cover their expenses. They have made heavy receipts of late. Their Sundays and Mondays have yielded bulky nets full of silver fish ; but the inter vening days have fallen below the average. April has to be redeemed, as well as many days of May. The franc public is the treasure-yielding one. The Grand Duchess of Russia yields paragraphs to the chroniqueurs ; but her Imperial Highness, in her Bath chair, which impedes the circulation from the Porte Rapp to the Porte Suffren, gives no more to the Exhibition treasury than the first prosperous British soap-boiler's wife, who affects a Bath chair as a seat of dignity which marks her off from the crowd. The International Club has at length done some thing for the comfort of visitors. An office has been established, at which railway tickets for the right or left bank can be taken ; so that the tra veller arriving at the station a moment before the train starts is sure to get his place. Its cuisine, moreover, has improved since that opening day when I exposed myself to its treatment. The magnificent room on the ground floor of the club building has been turned into a colossal restaurant. Everything is excellently cooked, and the cunt/Ives have the additional gratification of excellent music during their dinner. The club, the Russian res taurant, and the United States bar and dining rooms, are now the "feedingplaces" of the upper crust of the visitors. The United States establish ment is thoroughly and honestly national. The Americans in Paris flock to it, and are satisfied with it. The Imperial Commission has just published the official Map-Guide to the palace and park, the exe cution and sale of which was confided to the editor, Dentu. The map is very ingeniously arranged, and all the establishments are classed on it numerically. It folds up, so that one sees the two halves of the Champ de Mars alternately. Its directions and descriptions are recent and reliable. Among 350 directions I found only one mistake, viz., that the Cafe-Concert is marked by the railway station in stead of at the Porte Suffren. One mistake in a map like this—especially when it is compared with the crop of errors in the official catalogue—must be pardoned by the severest critic. It is generally reported that the French saloons (which are to be devoted to conversation and musi cal performances, and which will be • delightful refuge for loungers in the dog days) will be " inau gurated" in the course of a few days. These rooms are under the marquise of the palace, in the French section. Sarasate, Lawns, Lefebure-Wely, and Georges Pfeiffer, will assist at the inaugural fete. By the way Pfeiffer, in conjunction with M. Ritter, gives daily impromptu concerts in the building. I had omitted to state when dealing with royal visitors that on Tuesday the King and Queen of the Belgians visited the Exhibition alone. They inspected the Italian, Austrian, English, and French sec'ions, and made several purchases in each, but more particularly in the Austrian depart ment. The trade done by notable exhibitors during all these royal visits has been very great. Our exhibitors, as Hancock, Emanuel, our ceramic manufacturers, Mr. Dobson, &c., have had their share. Not a few authorities—amateurs who follow the footsteps of Captain Shaw—have speculated on a tire in the Exhibition. On Tuesday, between two and three o'clock, the event might have come off. A cask of brandy was being taken into an English spirit cellar. It broke apart. There was a candle on the ground at hand ; and the brandy imme diately caught fire. The flames at once enveloped all the casks of spirits in a veritable sea of fire. But ins quarter of an hour all was put out, thanks to the promptitude and efficiency of the firemen. The accident serves to show two points, vie., that the precautions taken against fire are good, and that brandy casks should not be lowered at the most crowded hour in the day. The reader may imagine the probable catastrophe were a cry of fire raised, with 100,000 people within the Exhibition budding. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (REUTLIeS I'ELBORANS.) FRANCE. PARIS, MAT 27. It is announced that at the grand review to be held in the Bois de Boulogne on the occasion of the visit of the Czar, there will be under arms 50 lbattalions of infantry, 50 squadrons of cavalry, and 18 batteries of artillery. It is not expected that the Czar will visit the camp at Chalons. The France of this evening denies a statement that the Danish government had addressed a circular to foreign powers on the subject of the districts of North Schleswig. The same journal says :—The Crown Prince of Prussia, acting under the impression made upon him by the courtesy with which he has been received in Paris, has urged the King of Prussiadefinitively to carry out his proposed journey to the French capital. It is stated that the Emperor Napoleon has ex pressed to the Prince of Roumania the regret with which he learnt the persecution of the Jews in Roumania. - . The Pottle of this evening, contradicting the statements of some journals, says that nothing has been notified with regard to the despatch of a French military mission to Roumania. Its de parture has only been delayed in consequence of certain incomplete formalities connected with the budget. The Monitenr du Soir publishes an account of the reception by the Emperor of the deputation from the Universal Touriat Company, who have arrived from England to arrange for the economi cal visit to Paris of the working men of the United Kingdom. The president made the following ad dress to the Emperor :--" The English workmen are coming to see and compare the international products exhibited, and to derive therefrom fresh motives for emulation. They are coming to con template a capital embellished by your hands. Above all, they are coming to interchange senti mentsof cordiality with the workmen of France. God alone knows if peace will endure, but the tourists hope that these ardent demonstrations of international courtesy will entirely efface the ancient feelings of ill-will which progress and civilisation directed by your Majesty have, up to the present time, restrained. The gracious reception accorded by the Emperor to English industry will be a new ele ment of international friendship. We entertain sincere wishes for your health and that of the Empress and the Prince Imperial." The Epoque of to-day says there is a question of a visit to Paris for two or three days which Lord Stanley proposes to make during the Whitsuntide holidays, to see the Exhibition. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MAT 27. Baron de Talleyrand, the French Ambassador at St. Petersburg, has arrived here en route for Paris. Count Reverters, the Austrian minister at the Rumian court, has also arrived here from St. Petersburg. PRUSSIA AND DENMARK. BERLIN. MAY 27. The Prussian government has opened confiden tial negotiations with the cabinet of Copenhagen, with the view of explaining the conditions which will have to be fulfilled by Denmark on the resto ration of the district& of North Schleswig. These conditions refer to the assumption by Denmark of a proportionate part of the public debt of the Duchies, and to a guarantee to be undertaken by the Danish government for the national protection of the German inhabitants of the districts about to be restored. THE GREAT FIRE AT BRODY. BERLIN, MAY 27. A telegram received here announces that the great fire which broke out at Brody on Thursday evening last in all quarters of the town WWI got under on Friday morning. 200 houses were burnt, and 10 lives lost. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MAT 27. The Austrian Consuls at Jassy and Bucharest have been instructed to interpose, in common with the representatives of France, on behalf of the oppressed Jews in Moldavia. The Bth of June is designated as the probable date of the coronation of the Emperor Francis Joseph as King of Hun gary- SAXONY. DRESDEN, 3t 27. The last troopsof the Prussian garrison, with the exception of General von Bonin, left Dresden this morning. THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. VALETTA, MAT 27. The Egyptian corvette Tayoum arrived here yesterday from Canes with the intelligence that Omer Pasha returned there on Thursday after burning 56 villages, without, however, obtaining any successful results against the insurgents. Her Majesty's despatch vessel Psyche, leaving for Gibraltar, will probably remain with Lord Alfred Papt, to welcome the Sultan passing through Malta on his way to Paris. PORTUGAL. LISBON. MAT 27. The Upper House agreed to-day by a majority to the bill on administrative reform. The debate on the treaty of commerce with France will com• mence to-morrow ; after which the budget, the bill on the abolition of capital punishment, and the Prison Reform Bill, will come on for discussion. The Upper Chamber also approved to-day a bill for the creation of rural banks. A bill has been intro duced for the reduction of the duty on iron and steel. Tranquillity reigns throughout the kingdom. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. MADRID, MAT 27. It is announced that the Portuguese govern ment, in token of its friendly sentiments towards the government of Queen Isabella, refuses to accept any compensation for transporting provisions to the amnestied Spanish soldiers who have emigrated. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Mir 27. The Emperor, Empress, and Grand Dukes re ceived to-day, at the Palace at Zankojeselo, the members of the Sclavonisn deputations to the Ethnographical Exhibition at Moscow. The Em peror, in reply to the address of the Servians, said :—" We have always numbered the Servians among our natural brethren. I hope that God is preparing for you a speedily better future. May the Almighty soon grant you the fulfilment of your wishes!" To the Sclaves the Emperor said:— "I salute you, Sclavonic brethren, in the home of the Sclavonian race. I hope that you have been gratified by your reception here and at Moscow. Farewell till we meet again." The Emperor then introduced the delegates to the members of the imperial family. [EITAIdiMD, 1L ADDMOIAL.] The three musical committees are now busy in organising the July festivals, and M. Georges Hainl is superintending the arrangements for the execution of the Hymn of Peace and tae cantata. There are 600 musicians and 400 singers under his direction. The musical compositions are pouring in to the General Commissioner's office. No menu- script music will be received after the sth of June. It is said that the committee wishes to include a great number of foreign members, in order that its final decision should be accepted as an impartial one. After the manner in which honours have been distributed among the painters of all nations some solid guarantee of impartiality is most desi rable. To begin with, French musicians know nothing of English music. People are beginning now to appreciate the ad vantages of the weekly tickets of admission to the Exhibition. On Monday 535 were taken, and on Tuesday, 397. The great railway companies that are organising excursion trains have, with the per. mission of the Imperial Commission, promised a four days' ticket of admission to the excursionists who come by their lines. I will not give you the extravagant figures which are printed as the Sunday Exhibition returns. The crowd was great—very great last Sunday. It was impossible to circulate comfortably about the refreshment circle. There was fighting for places in omnibuses without. The railway trains were packed. The I restaurateurs were eaten out. The Exhibition is a i llarge place. I bear the proportions of the park in mind ; and yet, when I am asked to believe that six hundred thousand francs were paid at the gates, I decline. Our neighbours are great at figures ; and occasionally, I believe in the most innocent way in I the world, throw a little lively imagination into their arithmetic. The easy operation of adding a nought where there are already two or three, creates a wonderful effect, when compared with the little trouble. Fervid fancy describes the man who pos -1 seises one thousand pounds, as a man " with thou sands." Arithmetic as it is set forth in Cocker chafes the imaginative mind ; and our neighbours declare that they are the poetic nation of the earth —privileged dwellers in clouds—at home in fairy land—a people to whom the sublime is as familiar as beef and pudding are to the Englishman. In a line meant to be sounding, to stir the blood and brighten the eye, poets speak of armed hosts, not of poor little isolated pion-pious; of tens and hundreds of thousands of slain ; of a people, not of a pariah, going to an exhibition! Another concession has entered an appearance, and on the French refreshment line. By 3f. Bond's great restaurant a pretty sweetmeat stall has been opened. It addresses itself to the gourmands of all nations—and especially to gourmands in knickerbockers. Over the stall the world is in formed that " every customer may eat as many sweets as he li kes, for four sous ! " A few &Lys since, an English lad read the announcement : drew out his twopence—and addressed the pre siding lady. "Here's my four sows—only you must lend me a chair !" The offer was declined. The precious stones in the Exhibition, and their treatment by English and foreign jewellers, is a tempting subject. We find them here as highly valued as in the far off days of old. They shone on Aaron's breastplate, and they are now the dis tinctive adornments of the great of the earth. Learned treatises have been written on them ; and men have not ceased, since the days of Davy, their search for the secret pmcess by which nature fashions the most brilliant and coveted of them. In this exhibition there is a rich and rare show of jewels. The collective exhibition of the union of jewellers of Paris ; the jewellery of the Lemoines, the Bar nerds, the Fontanas—in short, the dazzle and glow of the French jewellery stall/ and their extent, lead crowds of visitors to them who may pass by the smaller show of England. The jewellers of Paris have a fame that spreads over the civilized world ; whereas English jewellers are little known, save to the richest foreigners, out of England. The imitation jewels of our neighbours, moreover, are unrivalled. Paris diamonds—as those sold by M. Bon, in the Rue de la Paix—are worn in quantities by personages whom people will credit easily with the glory of possessing stores of real stones. This perfect paste is to be found mounted in the most careful and artistic manner. The collections of precious stones which are in the present Exhibi tion exceed in intrinsic value and artistic treatment the worth of any ever brought under one roof—if we except the koh-i-noor from the jewellery of the Exhibition of 1851. This famous diamond was not, however, it will be recollected, greatly admired by connoisseurs. It had been badly cut and contained flaws, and, in short, looked like a piece of glass, save when the sun's rays were upon it. The Moun tain of Light was a disappointment—being deficient in light; but its appearance in the Exhibition af forded the learned in diamond-cutting an op portunity of examining its cleavages, of measuring it, and of suggesting how the light was to be got out of the mountain. Some held that it was only a bit of the original diamond from Golconda. Professor Tennant opined that in its original form it was "a rhombic dodecahedron," and that it and the great Russian diamond were one crystal. Then, Messrs. Garrard took Runjeet Sing's main ornament in hand, and got light into it, but reduced its weight one-third. These discussions and doings are among the impor tant uses of exhibitions. They are proceeding here in the Champ de Mars as they proceeded in Hyde-park, when Mr. Hope's blue diamond was an object of intense interest, not only to the ladies who could just say that it was " a love," and think how it would become them, but to men of science am& men of taste. Eminent jewellers are daily at the French, Russian, and Austrian stalls. The Russian courts include a choice and rare collection of precious stones. A curiosity is a potted rose, upon which a diamond butterfly has alighted. H. Podielrad, of Prague, is remarked for the high finish and richness of his collection, which boasts the biggest opal in the world. Christian (of Nu remberg) has a striking, not to say excentric, spe cimen of jeweller's work : the design is a jay, hold ing in its beak a well-balanced and delicate brooch of opals and diamonds. THE TAILORS' STRlKX.—Yesterday morning the area of the strike became enlarged by the withdrawal of the men employed in the shops of those masters known as military tailors. About 500 men are employed in this branch, and one and all gave notice yesterday morning that they intended to take no more work after finishing the jobs in hand. The cause of this strike is the same as that in the other branches of the trade—the refusal by the masters of the time-log. The men are nearly all members of the Tailors' Union, and will be supported from the funds. At a special meeting of the central committee held yesterday morning to consider the state ments made by the muter at their meeting on Satur day last, it was resolved that an aggregate meeting of the trade, in and out-door workers, unionists and non unionists, should be held at the Alhambra Palace, Leine ter-square, to-morrow morning, " for the purpose of testing the trade as to the truth of the statements made; by the masters as to the feeling amongst the men gene rally, to the effect that they were opposed to the strike in the first instance, and were forced into it by the leaden of thefunion." IMPORTANT FISHERY DECISION. —On Saturday the Salmon Fishery Commission, sitting at Carlisle, pro nounced judgment in respect of a large number of claims to use poke nets, stream nets, and other fixed engines in the Solway. The commissioners declared all such engines to be illegal. The decision is of a most sweeping nature, inasmuch as it deprives whole villages of the means by which their inhabitants have for generations earned a live lihood, and in consideration of the fact the commissioners deferred the execution of their orders for removal till the present season shall have closed. The shore of the Solway for miles is covered with these engines. _ . 8017TH KENSINGTON MENEIIII.—ViSiLOTS doting the week ending Kay 25: On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, free, from 10 a.m. to 10 al,. 13,333 ; on Wednesday, •Thursday, and Friday ( sion 6d.), from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m., 1,968 ; national por trait exhibition, by pa 2,366 ; total, 17,878.

The following has been published by the Cologne Gazette as the correct text of the treaty for the neu tralisation of Luxemburg, recently concluded at London : In the name of the Meet Holy and Indivisible Trinity.— His Majesty the King of the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxemburg, taking into consideration the change produced in the situation of the Grand Dueby owing to the dissolu tion of the ties which attached it to the former Germanic Confederation, has invited their Majesties the Emperor of the French, the Emperor of Austria, the Queen of England, the King of the Heiman., the King of Prussia, and the Em peror of All the Rumens, to aasemble their representatives in conference at London in order to come to an under standing with the plenipotentiaries of his Majesty the King Grand Duke as to the new arrangements to be con. eluded in the general interest of peat. And their said Majesties, after having this invitation, have resolved by common accord to reared to the desire his Majesty the King of Italy haa manifested to take part in • deliberation destined to offer a new pledge of security for the maintenance of the general repose. In consequence their Majesties, in concert with his Majesty the King of Italy, desiring to conclude • treaty for thi s purpose, have say— The as their plenipotentiaries, that is to my— na mama and titles of all the plenip o t en tiaries signed w follow.] Who, after having exchang e d th e i r full powers, and found them in good and perfect form, have agreed upon the following articles : 1.

The rights which the emestee of the house of Nassau pauses to the surceetion of the Grand Duchy by virtue of the same treaties , are main tained. The high contracting par ti es accept present declaration, an take note thereof. 2. The Greed Duchy within the limits determined by the deed missed to the treaty of April 19,11139, under the guarantee of the courts of Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, shall henceforth constitute • perpe tually neutral state. It shall be bound to observe this came neutiality towards all other states. The high contracting to respect the principle of neutrality stipu- Litl e ty m n e present article. This principle is and re mains placed under the sanction of the collective guarantee of the signatary powers to this present treaty, with the exception of Belgian, which is itself a neutral state. 3. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg being nentralieed in the terms of the preceding article, the maintenance or establishment of stems plants upon it, territory becomes needless and without object. It is in consequence agreed by comma accord that the town of Luxemburg, con sidered in past time from • military point of view as a federal fortress, shall cease to be a fortified town. His f the Grand Duke reserves to himself the right of maintaining in that town the number of troops necessary to watch over it for the preservation of good order. 4. Conformably with eth stipulations contained in Arts. 2 and 3, his Majesty the King of Prussia declares that his troops al : i at present garriaoning the fortress of Luxemburg receive orders to proceed to the evacuation of that place imatedietely after the exchange of the ratifications of this present treaty. A commencement will simultaneously be made by removing the artillery, munitions, and all objects forming part of the . apportenances of the said strong place. During this operation there shall only remain the number of troops necessary to watch over the safety of the war material, and to effect its removal, which shall be completed with the least possible delay. 5. His Majesty the King Grand Duke, by virtue of the rights of sovereignty he exercises over the town and fortress of Luxemburg, engages upon his part to take the necessary measures for converting the said strong place into an opee town by means of such demolition as his Majesty shall judge sufficient to fulfil the intentions of the high 00■• fretting powers expressed in Art. 3 of this present treaty. The works required for this purpose will commence imme diately after the withdrawal of the garrison. They shall be carried out with all the circumspection the interests of the inhabitants of the town demand. His Majesty the King Grand Duke further premises that the fortification of the town of Luxemburg shall not in future be re-esta blished, and that no military establishment shall either be maintained or mated at that place. 6. The tignitary powers to this present treaty recognise that the dissolution of the Germanic Confederation having equally brought about the dissolution of the ties that united the Duchy of Limburg collectively with the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to the said confederation, it results therefrom that the relations mentioned in Arta. 3,4, ands of the treaty of April 19th, 1839, between the Grand Duchy and certain territories appertaining to the Duchy of Limburg have ceased to exist, the said territories con tinuing to form an integral part of the kingdom of the Netherlands. _ 7. This present treaty shall be ratified, and its ratifica tions shall be exchanged at London within the period of four weeks, or earlier if possible. In faith of which the respective plenipotentiaries have signed the treaty, and appended to it the seal of their arms. Done ►t London, this 11th May, 1867.

It is well understood that Art. 3 does not affect the rights of other neutral powers to reserve, and in ease of need to repair, their strong places and other mesas of de fense. The same signatures follow. THE MEDITERRANEAN. (►aon on OWN ) FliT. ) MALTA, MAT 22. During the last few days no movement has taken place in this port amongst her Majesty's ships of war, and the only vowels now here are the iron-clad frigates Prince Consort, 35, Royal Oak, 35, and Ocean, 24 ; Psyche, 2, despatch vessel ; and the Wizard, 1, gunboat. The Ocean will probably take her departure from Malta on Saturday next for Gibraltar, on her way to China to join the squadron on that station. The other vessels are awaiting the return of Viol-Admiral Lord Clarence Paget from Gibraltar, in his new flag-ship, the Caledonia, in order to put to sea on their usual summer cruise. They will first proceed to Toulon, for the purpose of affording the crews an opportunity of visiting the Paris Exhibition. Her Majesty's screw steam transport Tamar is expected in Malta about the beginning of next month, to embark the 29th Foot for conveyance to North America. A merchant steamer arrived this morning from Tunis bringing the intelligence that the cholera has broken out in that regency. The steamer was placed in quarantine, and a government notice was issued this afternoon esta blishing a quarantine of 21 days on all arrivals from the regency of Tunis. M6NTING or CONSERVATIYIS COUNTY MEMBERS. —A meeting of the conservative county members was held to-day (Monday), at the residence of Colonel North, in Arlington-street, at which about 70 gentlemen were pre sent, besides the expressed adhesion of • considerable number more who were prevented from attending. After the views of many members had been heard, and the in fluence of the various amendments on the table as affect ing the county franchise had been discussed, it was unani mously resolved that the government be requested not to persevere in the 15!. rating proposed by the bill, but that the proposition of Sir Edward Daring, namely, • 121. rating, be adhered to ; and that the government be also requested on no consideration whatever to allow the 10!. rating, as proposed by Mr. Locke Zing. THE BISHOP or LoNDON'S FUND. —Yesterday morning there wean large assemblage of the clergy and laity of the diocese of London at St. James's Church, Pic cadilly, in connexion with the Bishop of London's Fund. The bishop delivered an address, founded on the 3rd chapter of St. Luke's Gospel . , _verse 62. He said the fund had gone on for three and a half years, not without some failures, but slowly and steadily, but it was their duty now to look at the work which lay before them. He spoke of the destitute state of many parishes of the metropolis, and said that having begun, it would be • cowardly thing to stand still. He believed it would be all in Inn to ex press sympathy with the bodily wants of the max, to pro vide improved dwellings for them, or to make efforts for secular education, unless they afforded them helps for holiness. The holy communion was then administered he offertory being devoted to the fund. Yesterday morning the Venerable John Sinclair, M.A., Archdeacon of Middlesex, held a visitation of that part of the diocese of London which is within his juridic tion, at the parish church of St. Paul, Covent-garden. After the elope of the ordinary business, prayers were read (a very large number of the clergy being preaeot), and the arelidemion proceeded to the delivery of his charge, in the course of which • strong denunciation of the pretensions and teaching of the p apacy occurs. Quarmrrown, 11isr 27.—The Cunard (extra) steamship Tarifa arrived hero at 1.30 p.m. to-day. She brings 152 paineogen and 55,000 dole. in specie.
