TER good people of Belfast are in the vein of h3spitality. The levelling philosophers of the Social Science Association, with their new-fangled theories and strange doctrines of political justice and economic freedom, have no sooner departed than fresh guests arrive to receive a not less gene rous welcome. The Lord-Lieutenant of to-day, and the Prime Minister of yesterday, the official representative of Irish Toryism, and the veteran leader of thu English Whigs have entered Bel fast side by side, in the same railway car riage. The wolf and the lamb lying down together is scarcely • more millennial spectacle than the interchange of civilities between Lord Russaxx and Lord Aimacosay. So, at least, the Orangemen of Belfast appear to have thought. But such • millennium is not to their turbulent taste. They are as indignant and amazed as Mr. Pickwick was when his counsel shook hands with the counsel on the opposite aide. They seem to have expected that the two statesmen would scowl moodily and keep apart ; or at any rate, that if they did enter the same sa loon carriage it would be only to adjust their political differences by an animated interchange of manual compliments. One thing they were de termined on, that Lord RUSSELL should not, by stealing in in the train of Lord ABERCORN'S pe;." . cession to any part of the throat-splitting acclama tions intended for the VICEROY. Muss, gam forst Agrippa forts tn. lurtuta ingenuorn ralpes tinitata Worm The part they designed for the late Prime Minister in the procession was that filled by RICHARD H. in the triumphal entry of Bouwa intoxii. " The deadly foe of Irish Protestantism," however, who, in the language of an Orange " Proclamation," came to Belfast under the wing of tho Loan-LiKIITENAN; like &wow stealing into the Protestant Troy, remained quietly in the railway station, avoiding unooveted ap plause, insignificant hisses, and a few possible brickbats. By the great bulk of the population of all parties in Belfast, Lord Rossstr., we may hope, would have been received with the courtesy and respect duo to his age, to his character, to the great part which ho has played in the history of his country, and to the position which ho has occupied for more than a quarter of a century in the councils of the Sovereign. The reception given to the Louu-Lanurewawr does not seem to have been a party-welcome, though in some quar ters probably political sympathy gave it increased cordiality, and the respect felt for the personal character of Lord A BERCORN in the province in which he is known as an exemplary gentleman and just landlord, mingled with the recognition of his position as the official representative of the Crown. If Belfast has much to learn from the pro fessors of social science, it has something to teach statesmen. Lord ABLECORN, fresh from the repression of Fenianism which has entered Ulster only as it has entered England ; Lord Russm.z., newly arrived from the south and west provinces of Ireland, ought to find political lessons in the spectacle which is presented to their eyes, as the image of it must often have been to their thoughts. What has made Belfast and Ulster so different from the rest of Ireland f There is no special virtue in the soil. In the time of CROMWELL the value of land in Ulster, as shown by the terms on which it was distributed to the adven turers of that day, was less by one-third than it was in Connaught, leas by more than half what it was in Munster, and less than two-thirds what it was in Leinster. The value of the land in Down and Antrim now does not fall short of that of the most thriving agricultural counties of England, while in the south and west of Ireland it is declining to wards zero. The centre of this prosperity, the heart of the province, whence the stream of wealth flows, and to which again it returns, lies in Belfast. Inthereign of ELTZ&BETH, the keen eye of Essex and the sound judgment of Sir JOHN PEREAT saw the opportunity which the " mouth of the ford"— Bealafarsad, or, shortly, Belfast—offered for trade, and advised the building of a dock. The population, which now probably exceeds 150,000, was then to be counted by scores. Its progress has been most rapid, however, in recent years. Within the last half century the inhabitants have multiplied more than fivefold. The rate of wages has in creased more than 50 per cent. The value of property, according to official estimate, is greater by one-third now than it was half-a-dozen years ago. The tonnage and revenue of the port have at least doubled. The various manufactures of linen and cotton, its foundries and shipyards, its streets, and quays, and harbour overflowing with the signs of energetic and thriving industry, witness to its prosperity. The growth of Belfast in wealth and numbers has been more rapid than that of any other town in the empire. It is absolutely unique in Ireland. To what is this exceptional prosperity due ? We hear conflicting answers. By ono we are told that it is attributable to the Protestantism of the community. But a third and a constantly increasing proportion of its population is Catholic. By another we are assured that it is due to the superior indus trial energy of the Anglo-Saxon race. Yet the town is constantly drawing into its borders, by an internal migration, the Celtic people of the remoter counties of Ulster and of the three other provinces. Roman Catholicism is, perhaps, more favourable to a dependent than to an energetic frame of character ; the Celtic race may be infe rior by original endowment, or through lack of the appropriate training, in the hardy, patient, and sober qualities which contribute to worldly success. But be this as it may, there is abundant evidence to show that a Celtic and Catholic people, forming part of a Protestant and Teutonic society, acquire speedily the spirit of the community among whom they live. Belfast flourishes, not simply because its people are endowed with native force of intellect and will, but because the peculiar circumstances of the district in which it is placed have afforded an indispensable condition, denied elsewhere, of commercial and manufacturing pro gress. The wise policy of the CHICHEIITERS, to whom, in the reign of ELIZABETH, the mouth of the ford and the adjacent country fell, on the forfeiture of the O'Neius, gave the town standing room and growing room by means of long leases which were granted for small SWIM What the wi•edom of the founders of a noble house begui, the fully of one of its later representatives carried yet further. The doctrine of MANDEVILLE, that private vices may be public advantages, receives some sort of countenance from the history of the manufacturing and commer cial capital of Ulster. As one of the best authorities upon Irish economy has re marked, "Belfast has in one generation " sprung to its present importance through " the land on which it stands becoming the pro " perry of its citizens, from being the property of " a single proprietor, hampered by settlements " and incumbrances, and by no means brought "up to industry." Without coal or iron, it has become the seat of one of the chief industries of the empire, and of a varied manufacturing en terprise. The Bounder agricultural economy of the province, in the security which it gives to the grower, has contributed to form the bracing moral atmosphere in which the industrial virtues grow, and to supply the sap which feeds them. But there is no reason, save vicious social arrangements, and the popular habits which are the result of those laws, why the prosperity of Belfast, and the group of towns which cluster about it, should be exceptional. The same, or yet completer, freedom of industry elsewhere, in regard to the commodity which is the first source of all wealth, the land, would pro duce corresponding effects. There is no cause in the nature of things why the linen manufac tories of Ulster should be confined to that pro vince, nor why the old woollen trade of Ireland should not be revived. Sheep are the only live stock in Ireland the numbers and value of which exhibit an increase. The streams in which the country abounds, and her turf-bogs, would supply the needed power and fuel. If the distinguished statesmen now visiting Belfast will, in considering its exceptional prosperity, seek economic effects in economic causes, instead of wandering into obscure controversies of race and religion, they will understand the spectacle before their eyes, and learn a lesson (rent Which L'Z'siussi and tme empire may benefit. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1867: FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The Moniteur has been prompt and explicit with its contradiction of the present alarming rumours ; but its assurance., the Daily News observes, so often unhappily need to be taken in an inverse sense, that it i difficult to convey on good grounds to others the confidence which they may nevertheless deserve. Doubt and alarm are natural to men in the dart. It is very easy to deprecate rumours, but " personal" government is government by rumour. So long as the Emperor delays the crowning of the edifice these mischiefs are inevitable, not only in France but over Europe. Bat the present admit may be surmounted without w►iting for the development of French liberty. Let the Emperor frankly declare himself by acts, and the feverish uncertainty which agitates Europe • 'll disappear. While he arms, hesitates, and disavows, the completion of Italian and German unity is achieving itself in spite of him. A gene rous recognition of the right of the two powers to develops their full resources would put an end to the ignoble war of rumours and contradictions which degrades the dignity of France and disquiets her leighboars. Sketching the frenzied scenes which have just been wit nessed on the Paris Bourse, the Tines attributes much of the sensitiveness to the mystery in which the Emperor Napoleon's policy is involved. Aa it was said of Louis XI., ■nd applied to Louis Philippe: " A monarch like 12;m compromises the whole world." So far as any NIA. ing can be attached to his speeches he appears earnestly bent on peace, and the Times believes there is no truth of which the Emperor himself is more firmly convinced than that there is nothing that France, howevervictorious,could possibly gain, nothing that she might not rua the risk of losing, by war. But whet avails all this if he will neither speak out nor be silent—if he will blow hot and cold with the same breath, acknowledge the necessity of permanent peace for the very life of French commerce, and yet keep the world in such a state of suspense as to enable any " Exchange pickpocket " to terrorize the Money Market and to hamper the world's enterprise ? Better than the meet persistent denials of alarming rumours, says the Telegraph, would be the announcement that all and every preparation of a warlike character bad been discontinued, and that a policy of general disarma ment was about to be initiated. There is no single prac tical question in dispute, and the power that commences a war from motives of jealousy deserves the execration of the world. The Standard is persuaded that the Emperor Napoleon will not allow the Italian government to march upon Rome or repudiate the Convention. Signor Rastazzi would court his own downfall, and not improbably the ruin of Italy, if he were to insist, as he is urged to do, upon the permission for King Victor Emmanuel to go to Rome, u a reward for preventing Garibaldi from trying to get there. The Times writes with much bitterness on Mexican politics, and on the friendly relations which the United States have formed with the restored republic. The basis of the policy of James, according to the Times, is simply to execute every one whom he suspects of being unfavour able to his pretensions. If he is re-elected the course of events will still bring Mexico nearer and nearer to the United States. A nation would have more of the virtu* of self-denial than has hitherto been common in the world if it threw away so tempting a prize. IS TOPICS. The Times contrasts the assurances of the Bishop of Capetown that the primate recommends the appointment of a rival bishop to Bishop Coleus., with the distinct lan raage to the contrary used by the archbishop in convoca tion. The Bishop of Capetown overlooks everything that might be adverse to himself, and strains to his own im passe everything which can be made to appear in hie favour. The result is, that he puts an interpretation on the proceedings of the conference which is promptly and decidedly repudiated by a distinguishei rrelate of the English bench. The Tima can only say that if the pro. ceedinp by which Dr. Coleus° baa been condemned are exemplified in this instance, it is impossibly not to con. elude that there pay be a great deal mon to bevaid in hie defames than we have yet heard. The Daily News describes with sympathy the chief arguments advanced by Mr. M. D. Hill in his late address at the opening of the winter session of the Birmingham and Midland Institute. The want of scientific education among the workers in productive industry, the error of all attempts to produce • dead uniformity in the remune- I ration of labour and the soundness of the principle of co operation as our beat prospect of escape from the chronic animosities around us, are the chief features of the address which are selected for notice. Co-operation, however, says the Daily News, is • principle which can only be successfully carried out by men who have learned some thing of the economy of trade. It peculiarly requires an intelligent and in some degree an educated working population for its successful establishment. It is one of those changes which may accompany the spread of know ledge, but which cannot possibly preoede it. Tho Star cordially approves of the decision of the Reform League to postpone for the present the holding of a banquet to celebrate the passing of the Reform Bill. There is • great deal of hard work yet to be done; and if we give ourselves up too soon to rejoicing over what we have won, we may perhaps forget that even that will be of little value unless we win much more to supple ment and complete it. The Standard continues to insist that we have carried clemency to the furthest extent of virtue with Irish se dition, and in the opinion of many to the verge of foolish ness. We must now the try the novel experiment of a little wholesome rigour. The Herald expresses the same view, contending that the case is eminently one in which capital punishment would exercise a deterrent effect. As to Irish reforms what is to be done for Ireland must be done by social and not by legislative action ; by the Irish gentlemen and not by the imperial parliament. rite Court. BALMORAL, Ocr. 2. The Queen and Princess Christian went out in the morning, attended by Lady Churchill, and in the afternoon the Queen drove out, accompanied by Princess Christian.

The Field-Marsha! Commanding-in-Chief has ap proved the lowest standard for gunners for the Royal Ar tillery, whether the recruits be men or growing lads, being fired at 5 feet 6 inches. We read in the Times City article :—" Letters, with the royal ann. engraved, from a person who styles himself 'government contractor,' are now being sent to the various foreign exhibitors at the Preach Exposition, asking full particulars of the prime of their goods—ehawls, lace., wines, &c.—and transmitting orders for a supply. The address given varies from time to time, but is usually at some place in the suburbs, such as Holloway, Fulliam, Barnsbury, &e., and there is reason to apprehend th►t several firms have already experienced loss." The twenty-second volume of the Napoleon Cor respondence has appeared. It contains over 700 letters, notes, or instructions, the 6rst, addressed to Champany, Duke of Cadore, dated the Ist of April. 1811 ; the last to General Clarke, Duke of Feltre, written on the 6th of November the same year. All are of considerable interest un the events of the last nine months of that year. From a paper upon the cultivation of flowers and the coanofocture of perfumery at Nice by Mr. A. 0. Aldis, United States Causal at that port, we learn that the ex port of perfumery from Nice, Grasse, and Cannes to the United States last year amounted to about 40,000 doh. There are six or seven manufactories at Nice, the same number at Cannes, and at Grasse about sixty. These manufacturers supply perfumers in all quarters of the world. There Is a distinction between the manufacturer and the perfumer. The business of the former is to ex tract from the sowers their essential oils. The perfumer buys these oila, pomades, and extracts, and compounds them in rations ways. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. PRUSSIA AND SOUTH GERMANY. A telegraphic despatch states that Wurtemburg, Bavaria, and the Grand Duchy of Baden have sent plenipotentiaries to Berlin to regulate the terms of a postal union which will complete th customs' union. Anti-Prussian resolutions agreed to at a meeting of the democratic party at Stutgard have been treated by the French journals as possessing sig nificance at the present juncture, but the full re port of the proceedings, which has just come to hand, compels our Paris contemporaries to alter their estimate and comments. One of the speakers, M. Oesterlen, said : Although we have not the hononr and happiness to be long to the Northern Confederation we are Germans, and in the event of an att►ck of France against Germany we should with or without a treaty do our duty as Germans. (Applause.) The permanent democratic committee said in its manifesto of the 12th of May when the Luxembou^g question was discussed—" May the pacific tendencies of the French democracy do us the service of sparing us the necessity of joining even temporarily in the interest of the integrity of Germany, • govern ment which we combat in the name of liberty." Those words, and the assent which they encoun tered, show wh►t attitude the people's party would take in that unhappy event, and how unfounded is tho accusa tion raised by the Prussian party against us of aspiring to a Confederation of the Rhine and of committing treason to the county by rejecting the offensive and defensive alliance. At a banquet which followed the above meeting one of the toasts was "To Berlin, the City of intelligence and character," another was "To the offensive and defensive alliance against all external or internal violence." The Silck observes that in the presence of this state of public opinion in South Germany the best way for France to foil the ambitious projects of the Berlin Cabinet, is to abstain from any step which would enable the latter, in the name of German patriotism, to overcome the resist ance of the liberals of Wurtemburg and Bavaria. The A venir National remarks : Popular party in Germany does not then fight against German unity, but against the special form which has been given it by an imperfect constitution. While pesos continue, it will be an obstacle to M. Bismarck's projects, but if unhappily a senseless war should break out between Germany and France, it would rally to Prussia as the national liberal party rallied to Bismarck at the time of the conflict with Austria. The Liberte also points out that the liberal party in Wurtemburg is all for German unity, and that an interference on the part of France would simply bind together the enemies and friends of M. Bismarck. According to a correspondence in the A emir National M. Bismarck has proposed to his col leagues to constitute the executive power of the confederation outside the Prussian cabinet. If this bold policy is adopted our contemporary thinks it will singularly facilitate the complete annexation of the Southern States. (IZMIR'S TZLIOPAYII) ITALY. DEPARTURE OF GARIBALDI FROM CAPRERA.

The official organ, this morning, has • note contradicting the false reports which have lately been in circulation respecting the Emperor's health and the news of a conflict between France and Italy, together with an alleged revision of the treaty of the 15th September. These unfounded rumours have not, of course, been without their effect in the state of the money market, and partly, but to no great extent, account for the agitation and panic which have for some days reigned on the Bourse. The note in the Monifeur says : Reports, utterly groundless, were yesterday put in cir culation in Paris, and especially en the Bourse. It is much to be regretted that public credit can be ineuenced by such manotuvres. The government has, without lose of time, called upon the judicial authority to institute an inquiry as to the authors of this false intelligence. I was well aware of these damaging rumours yes terday, and purposely refrained from alluding to them, even as rumours, having very good reason for believing that they were, in the main, false. There is no doubt, however, about a growing un easiness as to the Roman question ; and the mis sion of the Italian representative at Paris to the Emperor, at the instance of M. Rattazzi, in con nexion with a desired modification of the conven tion, is undeniable. It is not from Italy alone that anxiety and mistrust proceed ; there is a vague undefined feeling that all is not well with Prussia, and the German Bourses are almost as bad as those of France ; each of them are the cause of fear to the others, and so the painful restlessness and perplexity go on. M. de Lavalette, who left Paris on Saturday for his estate in the Dordogne, has gone to Biarritz, whither, according to the Paris, he had been sent by the Emperor. M. Rouher left Paris on Tuesday for the imperial residence. Among the political personages who are now at Biarritz are Marshal Niel, K Fould, and M. Frimy. The Gazette de France inquires : Wh►t is going on at Biarritz? What are the grave questions discussed there in the councils of the govern ment? For there is no awoke without fire, as the old proverb asp, and it is hardly possible to doubt that im portant resolutions are on the point of being taken at the Eugenie Villa. In addition to the several advisers of the Emperor who are known to have been summoned to Biarritz, it is said that Prince Napoleon is on his way to the same destination. The presence of M. Nigra at the council sufficiently indicates the nature of the question under discussion. The panic in the Bourse his in some decree sub sided to-day ; and there is an improvement in the quotations of the Bente. Threes, which finished yesterday at 67fr. 85c., began at 67fr. 95c., and reached 68fr., never falling below 67fr. 60c. Italian Fives again declined ; they left off yester day at 45fr. 95c., and are quoted to-day at 45fr. 35c., a fall of 60c. The Credit Foncier has suffered a further fall, and the Credit Mo bilier closed at 163 fr. The political news from Germany is of a somewhat more assuring cha racter, but the money market is extremely weak, operators appearing to wait upon Paris, while Paris is mistrustfully looking upon Germany. The Italian journals announce the death of M. Bonelli, formerly director of telegraphs in Italy, and in ventor of the apparatus which bears his name. The celebrated Oriental scholar, Ewald, professor at the University of Gottingen, having declined to take the oath of fealty to the King of Prussia, has received an offi cial intimation from the Ministry of Public Instruction at Berlin, that, " as his faculties am evidently giviog way," he will be placed on the retired list. The Countess de Flandre, the Echo du Parloment of Brussels states, is in an interesting condition, and ex pects to be delivered in January next. General Goethala, Belgian minister of war, has rent a circular to all the commanding officers of territorial divisions directing that schools shall be opened in every regiment for the instruction of illiterate soldiers. Attend ance at these is not to be absolutely e unpulsory ; but such men as have not received any primary education, and who neglect to amid themselves of the teaching now to be pro vided, are to receive no permission or absence from duty nr favour of the sort, nor will they be allowed to be drawn for in the granting of furloughs. The Queen of Holland arrived on Wednesday in Paris from Cherbourg, which port her Majesty reached in the morning at 7, on board the Balk, Dutch semi of war, from Southampton. The towns of Hamburg and Lubeck have received permanent Prussian garrisons. THE FRENCH COURT AT BIARRITZ.—A letter from Biarritz says :—" The Emperor and Empress went two drys beck with • suite of about 30 persons to Iszurite to visit the grottoes in that neighbourhood, es they had done last week in another direction. The carriages passed through Bayonne at 9 in the morning, and followed the main road which leads from St. Pierre d'lrube to Haspar rem. Their Majesties were to have arrived at 11, but the warmth of the reception at Heaperren induced them to stay some time, and they only reached their destination at 2 o'clock. A lunch was served in a meadow under some ADO chestnut trees, after which the whole party ,commenced the ascent of the mountain. At the entrance of the grottoes were 24 lads and 24 young girls, each carrying at the end of long sticks Venetian lanthorns and all along the galleries were placed at Intervals 21 robust inhabitants of Irturite, having in their hands flaming torches, which brilliantly illuminated the glitter ing stalactites of strange and elegant forms, so that the whole scene was most dazzling, and caused the illustrious visitors to osprey' frequently their admiration. Their Ma jesties examined these wonders of nature mast minutely and were much gra.ified at beholding the vaults sud denly lighted up with Bengal fires. At 3 o'clock the im perial party returned to the Villa Eugenie, leaving, as usual, substantial marks of their benevolence to the In habitants of Isturitz." ----- REPRESENTATION or BRADTORD.—Last evening Mr. Miall began to addreas the electors in the different wards. His speech of Wednesday night appears to have been exceedingly well received, and to have produced • good impress;on in his favour everywhere. Mr. Ripley (who was unwell and confined to bed on Wednesday) was also announced to appear for the first time at • meeting in the Little Horton Wood. Mr. Thompson has not yet arrived from the continent. His friends are prosecuting his canvass vigorously, and on Wednesday the signatures of more than 800 electors were affixed to the requisition inviting him to come forward. The writ will be issued on Monday next, and the election, it is expected, will take place at the latter end of Next week. ATTACH ON • VOLUNTEER ARMOURY.-011 Wed nesday morning a moat audacious attack was made by • body of men, supposed to be Fenixns, upon the armoury and ammunition magazine of the Harrow Rifle Volunteer Corps (the Isth Middlesex). This armoury is in • barn on the farm of Mr. Chapman, at Rozeth, aloes to the town of Harrow. The family of Kr. Chapman were aroused at about 3 o'clock on Wednesday morning by the explosion of firearms, and on examining the barn it was found the door had been blown off. The volunteers in the neigh bourhood were promptly under arms for the defence of their arms, and the polies searched tho resighbotarbood for the perpetrators of this serious offence. It is stated that several saspicione &sweeten have been seen daring the past week banging about the neighbourhood, where, as may be expected, the greaten excitement prevails. THE DEATH ON THE METEOPOLIT.I.V RAILWAY. THE ADJOURNED INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This morning the jury charged with the inquiry into the death of Elisabeth Stainsby, supposed to hays been calmed by the foul state of the stoiosph nrn in the tunnel of the Metropolitan Railway, re-assembled a t th e Elephant and Castle public-bonne, Old St. Pancrsatead, to resume the investigation. Dr. Lankester, the coroner, however, informed theta th►t he had received ► communication from Mr. Fenton, the manager of the Underground Railway, in which he stated that the scientific evidence which the directors desire to produce was not complete, and begged him again to adjourn the inquest. The scientific referee whom he had himself appointed had, he believed, concluded his en. petimenta, but he thought it better that the jury sh ou ld have all the scientific evidence before them at one time, and, therefore, he had agreed to adjourn the court, with their consent, until Wednesday, the 30th instant, when he hoped that they might complete the inquiry. He might mention that he bad received wurances from a very large number of people that great improvements had already taken place in the ventilation of the Underground Railway; and therefore the jury would feel th►t their time had not been wasted, but that they were, as he might say, keeping a watch over the railway for the benefit of the public, In answer to the complaint made by some people that they were unnecessarily interfering with the railway, he added that he had received a great number of communications from persons who had complained that they had felt their breathing much oppressed when travelling by this line and some of whom said that they had been obliged to abandon its use. The inquest was then formally adjourned until Weds'''. day, October 30, at the same hour. THE RAJAH OF IhYSORE.-A PICTURESQUE SCENE. Advantage has been taken of the recent anni. enemy, the seventy-fourth, of the birthday of the Rajah of Mysore, to announce to him that the House of COM. mono had resolved not to annex his dominion on his death, but to hand it over in due time to his adopted son. A correspondent of the Timer, who was present, describes the picturesque scene which was witnessed. On entering the reoeption-room the correspondent wee not a little as. tonished to find close on his left what looked like a minis. tore farm-yard about milking time. Three or four cows, with all the tranquil dignity of demeanour which results from the sense of a secure soma' position, were languidly chewing she cud of contemplation within a few yards of the spot where their royal master was just at that moment en. changing international courtesies with the representative of the British empire. "Let your readen imagine the effect of • few cows near the throne on a drawing-room day at Bt. James's. But then these Mysore cows are not only aristocrats of the highest birth and breeding, but are also sacred. The Rajah has them placed close to his bedroom, in order that they may be the first objects seen by him as he gets up in the morning. This is considered a good omen. A devout Hindoo will get out of bed and traverse, if necessary, the whole length of his house and *mart. yard, turning his eyes neither to right nor left, and ' cutting' his dearest relatives and richest uncles, in order that his earliest morning salutation may be paid to his sacred cow. And men who will respect no other oath will rather die than perjure themselves if they are made to give evidence holding on to a cow's tall." The young prince, who was brought in, is • pretty, intelligent-looking boy of four, so covered with precious stones that one of the military gentlemen present instinc tively began to calculate what fortune might be made by looting him. During the reply of the Rajah to the English commiationer's speech he held the little prince in hie lap. The Rajah, by • royal fiction, was not supposed to be present at the dinner, but he really posted himself at the upper end of the room behind a cur tain (through various peep-holes of which dark eyes every now and then glanced curiously out, sadly interfering with n2t o the dinner of romantic e who found themselves for the first time in such tan proximity to the Howie of the Harem), and he evidently took the keenest and most amused interest in all that was going on, constantly sending complimentary presents, usually mysterious specimens of sweetmeat, or curry, or sherbet, to any old friends or acquaintance, whom be happened to moor else among the guests. He is famous for little at. tentions of this kind as, indeed, for every sort of courtesy and consideration. If • friend or neighbour is in trouble or in good luck—if • child has fallen ill or a favourite daughter has just arrived from England—one of the first to send message. of condolence or congratulation and to make all the necessary inquiries is the Rajah. When dinner was over his highness advanced into the room and took his seat near the commissioner, who proposed sue ceuively the healtLs of " The Queen," " The Rajah," sad " The young Prince." It is disgsurting to read that • few of the officers, despite the pre enc, of the Rajah, of English ladies, and high English of vial., got noisily and (burrow fully drunk. One or two amused themselves by throwing empty champagne bottles upon the crowd below, and by bonneting and intuiting whatever native attendants happened to come in their ii.,y. " India." writes the correspondent of the Times, "is the last place on earth In which Englishmen should mionn. duct themselves, and yet by some evil fatality it is in India that they exhibit least self-control. Men who be. have with perfect propriety in English society become among natives reckless to indecency, and, over and above the immediate disgrace, their misbehaviour, by giving to those natives who already dislike Englishmen just grounds for despising them, produces grave and Immanent political results which it is only charitable to hope that these ' gentlemen' have not enough brains or information to realise." The speeches were snooeeded by a display of fireworks, an equestrian performance, and • series of mar vellous gymnastio feats by Indian jugglers. Long chains of jasmine flowers were then hung round the necks of the visitors, and • neat little parcel of betle was presented to each, this being the ceremonious method of noting the time of departure. The guests then went through the process of salaaming and band shaking with the Rajah, and left the palace under • salute of 21 guns. WEATHER REPORT.- (THIS DAT.) FRIDAY. (brows •, 8 &K. 11. I LI W.

MIRE MARY FLOOD JONES. She was one of those girls, so common in Ireland, whom men, with tastes that way given, feel inclined to take op and devour on the spur of the moment ; and when she liked her lion, she bad a look about her which seemed to ask to he devoured. There are girls so cold-looking,—pretty girl., too, lady like, discreet, and armed with all accomplishmente,—wbom to attack seems to require the same sort of courage, and the saine sort of preparation as a journey in quest of the north-west passage. One thinks of a pedestAl near the Athenaeum es the moot appropriate and most honourable reward of such courage. But, again, there are other girls to abstain from attacking whom is, to a man of any warmth of temperament, quite impossible. They are like water when ono is athirst, like plovers' ergs in March, like cigars when one is out in the autumn. No one ever dreams of denying himself when such • temptation comes in the way. It often happens ' however, that in spite of appearanoeo , the water will not come from the well, nor the egg from its shell, nor will the cigar allow itself to he lit. A girl of such appearance, so charming, was Mary Flood Jones. of Killahm, and our hero Phloem was not allowed to thirst in vain for • drop from the cool spring.-51. Peals, No.l.
