The success it met with is chiefly owing to the funny and thoroughly Morto- Ann dialogue of the adapter, and the freshness and viva city infused into the principal character by Mr. Charles Mathews. Mr. Mathews represents a government clerk, who is tired of the comfortable monotony of his existence, and who seeks to obtain an independence by speculating oft the Bourse—we beg pardon, the Stock Exchange—and, of course, gets himself into a difficulty from which he is extricated by a relative. Mr. Mathews is supported by Mr. Horace Wigan, Miss Louisa Moore, and Mrs. St. Henry, who help to make this somewhat disjointed, but highly moral, trifle endurable.

General Cialdini has accepted the task of form ing a cabinet. The Garxtta trltalia says that the new ministry will adhere to the September convention, provided that France observes the conditions of the same. A demonstration of an orderly character took place to-day in front of the Ministry of the Inte rior ; shouts were raised of "Eniva Roma, the capital of Italy." An address is circulating in Florence expressing confidence that the King will maintain the na tional honour intact. A letter of Garibaldi is published under to-day's date, affirming the right of the Italians to Rome. The bulletin issued by the Relief Committee to-day says that Garibaldi's arrival in Italy has modified the plans of the insurgents and of the re volutionary party. PARIS, Ocr. 21, Evranra. All this evening's journals consider the political situation to have improved, and agree in stating that the departure of the fleet has been postponed. The acceptance of Signor Rattazzi's resignation by the King, and the formation of a conservative mbinet under General Cialdini are considered cer tain. The Conatitutionnel publishes an article signed M. Paulin Limayrac, in which he says :—" The latest information from Florence confirms the hope that Italy will repress the revolutionary agitation, and we congratulate the Italian government upon the attitude it has taken up." The Patric of this evening corroborates the news that the resignation of Signor Rattazzi has been accepted, and that General Cialdini has been called upon to form a new cabinet. The same journal says :—" General Cialdini will adopt various anti-revolutionary measures, such as proclaiming a state of siege in those places which are ostensibly the centres of the revolutionary party. It is asserted that Chevalier Nigra, the Italian Minister here, has received advices from Florence which render it probable that the de mands of France upon the Italian government will receive complete satisfaction." TOULON, Ocr. 21, 4 P.M. The Polhes brigade has disembarked. The trains bringing troops have been stopped, and the division which has already arrived will be quar tered here. The armament of the fleet is sus pended, and all the military preparations are countermanded. CROATIA. AGRAM, Orr. 20, Emil Nu.

The Bourse opened with an improved tone, and afterwards became very buoyant, the belief having gained ground that the Franco-Italian difficulty has assumed a more peaceful aspect. The final quotation of Rentes was 68.12, or nearly 1 per cent. higher than on Saturday. Italians have risen 1} per cent. _ PARIS, Our. 21, 10 rar. On the Boulevards this evening Renter were quoted at 68.00 and 68.25. The closing price was 68.15. A firmer tone prevailed, and business was rather brisk. Chicago is about to establish a free lodging house for newsboys and shoeblacks. Ausraillaw Bgzr.—A correspondent writes to the Times:—" I bought a 616. case of Australian boiled fresh beef, without bone, for which I paid 7d. a pound. We tried it first in the Irish stew fashion. The quantity was a quarter of a pound of the beef and gravy to a pound of potatoes, with chopped onions according to taste. This we called an allowance' for one. The potatoes and onions were cooked up to the same point as if the meat was in the stew-pan; we then put in our beef and gravy, perfectly sweet, seasoned with condiments, co vered it up, and let it remain for a minute or two. It was thee served up thoroughly hot, and the odour of beef gravy that filled the room was something appetising indeed. I sat down somewhat suspicious, but before I arose the ' tuck out' I had enjoyed was very gra tifying. We had thus a good muscle-making dinner all round at a cost of three-halfpence farthing a head for meat. We have since tried it as gravy soup and &milli, with the same allowance per head, and with the same satisfaction. We had 24 good single meals of perfectly fresh, rich, deli cious neat for is. lid. ; that is, the whole nine of us din- noted—not dined—twloe, arid six of us • third time for the money. Now let a family o.' 4 : L a . six meat-eating people commence the week on the Sunday joint. You cannot allow less then two pour • head all round with a couple of cold-meat days to provide for. No joint can be economically cooked for anything having the pretence of ' • family' at less weight than 121 b. To be sure I have heard a man speak of his wife and family,' the said family consisting of the infant at the breast ; but that has not been the case at our house for many years. Well, this joint will cost 10s., say, and in cooking it will corn. down to about 91b. All this will be finished on the Tuesday afternoon, as the bare bone will certify. Let the family then take to Australia. Let them have Irish stew on Wednesday, &milli on Thursday, gravy mop on Friday, and any non.starvable make-up on Saturday. They will here have rich beef meals for all six at a coat of 101 d. per day, or 2s. 7?,d. for the three days. Compare that with the cost for the same kind of fare per butcher, to say nothing of the trouble." MURDER AT SUDBURY.—A fatal case of stabbing took place at Sudbury on Saturday night, particulars of which were received by the police at Chelmsford on Sunday morning, with • request that • sharp look-out might be kept for the accused men, two brothers named Charles Martin, aged 30, and William Martin, aged 25, labourers, of Sudbury, who, it was believed, were in Essex, makin g th e i r way towar d s London. ft appears that on Saturday, the two Martins with another labouring man named John Burbridge, aged 21, were drinking at th e C ast l e, an d a f terwar d s at the Rose public-house, Sudbury, when some words took place between them, and about 12 o'clock they turned out into the street to fight. Burbridge appears to have had the best of the fight, which exasperated the Martina, and William Martin suddenly pulled out a knife from his pocket and stabbed Burbridge in the left side. The unfor tunate man fell down desperately wounded, calling " Murder," and " Police." A police-officer hearing his cries hastened to the spot, and caused Dr. Williams to be sent for, but the po u r fellow died in ten minutes, after gasping out that it was William Martin who stabbed him. Meanwhile the Martins had made off, and though imme diate search was made for them by the police they were not to be found. On Sunday, about 2 p.m., the head-con stable of the borough with one of his officers arrived at Chelmsford in search of the fugitives, and put himself in communication with Police-sergeant Peagrarn, who at once caused inquiries to be instituted in the neighbour hood, which resulted in ascertaining that two men answering the description of the Martins had been seen going through Widford at half-past 11 the same mottling on their way towards London. On hearing this the heed con s table and his man at once drove drove off to Brentwood in pursuit, but returned to Chelmsford in the evening without having been able to find any clue to the mining men. The same evening a Sudbury officer was sent by rail to London with instructions to make his way back by road in search of the men, who, it is hoped, will soon be in the hands of the authorities. —Bases Herald. CRINTAL PALACR. ONE SHILLING Day. MONDAY, OCT. 21.—Admissions on payment, 4,226 ; ditto by season tickets, 4,3614 Total visitors, 8,595. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1867. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRISPONDEAT.) PARIS, MONDAY Evoisa. A despatch from Florence, dated this morning at 10 o'clock, announces that General Cialdini con ferred with Victor Emmanuel as to the conditions upon which it would be possible for him to accept the direction of affairs which was offered to him. Up to this moment the definitive determination of the Italian government is not known, but it is expected from one minute to another. The government appears to be now actuated with a desire to prevent the Garibaldiarus from recruiting and throwing fresh bands upon the Pontifical territory. The bureaux for the enrolment of volunteers, which had been allowed to be opened in all the principal towns, have been closed by the orders of the government: a great number of arrests have taken place ; and volunteers are no longer allowed to travel towards Rome by the railways ; to them tickets are in variably refused. The substance of the news received in Paris up to this moment tends rather to an improvement than an aggravation of the conditions of the rela tions subsisting between Italy and France. It is supposed that the resignation of Rattazzi has been accepted, and that the King is endeavouring to constitute en ministere (ruction. The semi-official journals say they have some reason to hope that the military action of France will not be necessary to attain the end which is desired by the govern ment. The tone of the clerical journals this morning is almost expressive of satisfaction, and a ministerial journal gives its readers to understand that there is no reason why everything may not be agreeably arranged. It will very shortly be seen whether Italy can or will give the guarantees which will now no doubt be demanded, to cover what is looked upon as French responsibility, and satisfy the honour of France. There was great animation at the opening of the Bourse, with some notable variations in quotations, but the market gradually assumed more confidence. The Rente was tolerably firm throughout ; the Italians were in demand, and finished, like the Threes, at an appreciable advance, the former going up 2fr. All securities showed an improvement. A DUEL AT PARIS.—A duel took place yester day(Saturday) which is the subject of town talk. The combatants were Prince Achille Murat and the Marquis de Rouge. The marquis was slightly wounded in the arm. The cause of the duel has been • subject of much gossip. It appears that a gallant officer ' whose refusal to grant leave of absence to • gallant and noble subaltern was overruled by a very high authority, wrote a letter, strictly confidential, to one of the combatants, in which be said that the service was going to the dogs, and added other things not meant for any eye but his correspondent. Somehow the letter was lost or mis laid, and fell into the bands of a third party, who showed it, or reported its contents to a very exalted person. Hence the duel of yesterday, which it is said is to be followed by another. On dit that the exalted person to whom the letter was shown, merely observed, " He makes me pay very dearly for the favour I have sown him." The Figaro publishes an account of the affair without mentioning names, and its article was no doubt considered as rendering a rencontre inevitable.—Paris letter in the Herald. - - tH --- E EN OLIBII --- .;i PAH 11.L i ‘6;111;ert;you may," writes a Paris correspondent, "you meet with the good natured face of the broad-built Englishman. He looks a clean animal, familiar with superior old brown Windsor soap and the tub. Guide-book in hand be walks along with a thoughtful, half sad expression, at a pace somewhat quicker than we Parisians indulge in. He is not only visit , ing the Exhibition, but the many sights of this show city. There are men of all ages, and many.shaped beards of various colours, which one wishes to see shaved off, for they give a slovenly appearance to old men especially. The operaglass hangs from a black shiny belt, the travel ling cap prevails, the ' ditto' costume triumphs, and the boots look sensibly large. The noble Britain is at one.' distinguished amongst our cosmopolitan street population. I am happy to say that some of the artisan class (how pale ; and anxious these younger men look) hare brought over their wives and sisters. The toilette of the latter is cha racterised by an air of cheap finery, and not in good taste. English women of the less rich class seem always to desire to dress like grand dames with pretentious rubbish. Never were seen so many English in Paris." THE CALEDONLAN RAILWAY. —With regard to the panic in the shares of the Caledonian Railway, it is , affirmed that there is nothing in the position of the ac counts of that line which was not fully stated in the report of the auditors for the six months ended the 31st of July, presented to the meeting on the 23th of Sep tember, when it was formally notified that with the ex planations given "the dividends proposed to be declared were Wad ?file, after charging the revenue of the half-year with all expenses which ought to be paid thereout." A conviction is also expressed that the directors ale prepared to maintain at the special meeting intended for January next the correctness of the representations made on the last occasion. Under these circumstances it would ap. pear that if the holders of the stock are still disposed to give way to alarm the only course for them will be to take the prescribed steps for calling a meeting prior to the date at present contemplated. It will then he open for them to endeavour to offer reasons for their distrust, to. gether with the requisite proofs, and should they succeed they can take the opportunity of revolutionising the management. By giving way to fright, without adopting measures at once either to justify or dispel it, they simply leave their property for the manipulation of speculators.— Times' City Article. THE " BORER."—How many of your readers, I wonder, have beard of the " Borer"? I never myself re member to have seen its name in any English newspaper. But here, in Madras, it has long filled the columns of our press and lorded it over our dinner tables, until just now it had to give place to the Abyssinian expedition. It is a kind of small grub which infests coffee plantations', and which in the coffee districts of this presidency has done and is doing mischief incalculable. A planter told me yesterday that on one of his estates, 3'20 acres, or about 400,000 trees, had in one season been entirely and irretrievably destroyed by it. He estimated the yearly produce of these trees at 10,0 1 00/., and con ii)ilered that of this about one-half was net profit, The destruction was so sudden as to be inevitable. He had no intimation whatever of danger until he saw the leaves turn yellow and droop, and the trees were then past all hope. This may have been an exceptionally bad Case (I mean as regards the extent of the calamity, not as regards , the nature, which is almost invariably the same), but ' them are many more very like it. Hem and there planters have been poritively ruined, and obliged to give up their estates and lave their homes. There is a report that the Madras government think of appointing a special com missioner to investigate the subject, and it is, without doubt, well worthy of government notice, for though raspy doughty champions have entered the lists against him, and many schemes have been confidently recommended for his overthrow, the Borer does not yet seem to have found his match.— Times' Correspondent at Madras. THE FENIAN CONVICTS FOR AUSTRALIA. —A let ter addressed by Hugh Francis Brophy to Tie mother, pre vious to his departure on board the convict abip Huguenot for Western Australia, gives some particulars of the treat ment of the Fenian convicts. He says: —" The political prisoners are all together in one department—l thiak be tween 60 and 70 altogether—and so fine and so good a lot of men I never met before. I wish some of our pious slanderers saw them collecting one another for morning and evening prayers, or saw them on Sunday or Sunday week, with scares an exception, going to the altar, they would came to defame any longer the virtuous children of poor unhappy Ireland. May God enlighten and forgive them, I sincerely pray. So far our treatment since wo came on board is very good. The rations are excellent ; we are allowed a glass of wine a day, and are to go on deck any time we like. In fact, lam told by men who know the difference, that we are as well treated as emigrants are on , board a well-managed emigrant ship. I meet a (mammy 1 men I knew before my conviction.

The elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, lowa, and In diana have come off, and have terminated very much as I predicted in my letter of Sept. 12. The repub licans have lost Pennsylvania by a small majority ; in Ohio the amendment to the constitution admit ting negroes to the suffrage has been defeated, but the republican candidate for the governorship has, it is believed, been elected. In lowa and Indiana there is also no doubt of a republican triumph, but what is the size of the majority is still uncertain. The untoward result in Pennsylvania is due of course to the fact that the officer for whose appoint ment the election was held was a judge of the Su preme Court, and, as I intimated some weeks ago, there is a considerable number of persons in the republican party in Pennsylvania who care more foe judicial independence than they care for universal suffrage or the congressional plan of recon struction. Judge Sharswood, the democratic can didate, was the present occupant of the place. He is a lawyer of very high standing, and en joys the respect both of the bar and the public. But in his politics he is a demo crat of the copperhead type, although I have never heard that he displayed his political opinions either in an unbecoming manner, or in any manner at all. In fact, beyond his holding these opinions, and his having in a bond fide case brought regularly before him, decided that the issue of legal tender notes was unconstitutional, I do not believe the republicans had any other fault to find with him. As occupant of the seat he was presump tively entitled to election for another term, accord. ing to all sound views of the position the judiciary ought to hold ; but simply because this decision indicated hostility to republican ideas, they put another candidate in the field, inferior in every way to Sharswood, and, to make matters worse, almost unknown. The result has been what might have been expected. The bar in Philadelphia, and a large mass of the best portion of the republican party, voted for the democratic candidate, so that in the city the republican party was almost swept out of existence, and in the State at large lostheavily, and there is hardly a member of it who, now that all is over, will deny that Judge Sharswood is ' ezttitled to his place. In Ohio the defeat of the amendment to the con stitution removing the discrimination against our is an awkward fact—much more awkward tliari when it occurred in Connecticut. Connecticut lois long been famed for its conservatism, while Ohio has been, ever since the free soil agitation began, the Massachusetts of the West, a radical of the radicals, and has during the war given the very largest majorities in favour of an extreme policy. The votes which have been thrown against the amendment represent no doubt that large body of persons who have in every State in the Union been forced into the republican ranks rather by the vio lent and outrageous course of the South than by their own sympathy with the negro. These persons have supported the imposition of universal suffrage off' the South rather as a measure of necessity than because they are themselves enamoured of absolute political equality. They will stand by Congress in all its dealings with the South through thick and thin, but they will not agree to admit the negro in their own States to a share in the government. Therefore, while supporting the re publican candidates for office, they vote no on the constitutional amendments. To these causes of the falling off in the repub lican majorities must be added the widespread dis gust with the revelations of corruption amongst its working politicians which are every day made. If this corruption had not grown up, the party would not be composed of human beings. It has en joyed power almost without limit ; it has had the disbursement of almost incalculable sums of money, and has been supported by the people with a vigour and enthusiasm such as no other party has ever before experienced. Moreover, its long tenure of office has had the usual eflect of drawing into its ranks vast numbers of the political thieves, tricksters, and intriguers, men who live by jobs, and who are always on the side of the party which has, and is likely to retain, the distribution of the offices. The malpractices and frauds of these people have naturally more or less injured its credit, and it is no easy matter to get rid of them. Moreover, if they, too, were not thieves, in the present state of the civil adminis tration, it would show that they had far more vir tue than the rest of the community, instead of having none at all. When men are sure that their tenure of office will not last over three or four years, they naturally and inevitably set about featherin? ,their nests the minute they get into them. Nothing but a total change in the system of appointment will effect any improvement. Under the present system no change of parties will be of much use. MORE IHRAhTEES AT SEA.—At the Liverpool Underwriters'-roomsyesterday another long list of shipping disasters was posted up. The ship Schleswig Bnde, bound from the Clyde to Bombay, is reported to have ex perienced fearful weather off the Cape of Good Hope, and shifted her cargo. In order to lighten the ship 500 tons of railway iron had to be thrown overboard, and the vessel is reported to be very much strained. The Benin, a West African trader, whilst on tbe homeward voyage from Benin to Liverpool, got on shore OE the French ooast,but was driven off llurande Hock, Gastoun, on the 19th inst., and became a total wreck. Three hundred casks of palm oil have been washed ashore. The Wellington, of Waterford, foundered off the Salters on the 10th inst.; but the crew were fortunately picked up and landed safely at Water ford. The ship Oriental, bound to Conway from Quebec, is high and dry near Penzance. The copper sheathing is being stripped off, and the cargo will shortly be removed. In the sours of the next spring titles it is expected that the vessel will be dotted. THE PRICE OF BUTCHERS' MEAT.—A resident at Kensington, complaining of the despotism of trades. men, says in the Tiatea:—" A year ago we in this dis trict were paying lid., Is., and 13.1. • pound for meat. At that very time the Army Commissariat was buying meat for the troops at a pound, and married officers in the pariah were supplied at that price. If good meat could be sold at 5?,..1. a pound, all parts included, I Rill sure that the best parts of that meat could be sold at 7d. or sd. a pound at a fair profit. But no ! our masters the butchers must make their 100 or 150 per cent. profit ! The same with fish. The lobster which in Cornwall costs 3d., and in Billingsgate costs Is., I must pay 3s. for here. Mackerel, cod, and other fish are in the Name proportion.' Fishmongers, butchers, factors, and grocers, are all bent upon ma ki ng a treat fortune in a few years. "Go into any village within 20 miles of London, you will find the great house of the place, or the squire's estate, bought by some butcher or fishmunger from the West-end, or some publican from the East-ead." And this is not the fruits of pa tient diligence but of an audacious system of combined ex tortion. Talk of trades' unions ! they are not to be com pared to tradesmen's unions for the ruthlessness of their exactions. With • remark that in Kensington the rest dents suffer especially, everything from house painting to a rump steak being charged 50 per cent. over and above • fair profit, the correspondent asks if some persons will not at once combine to form " a housekeepers' so-operative association." Another correspondent in the Tinua begins his letter, " Sir,—As the father of a family having nine bellies to fill every day in the week, will you allow me to say a word or two on the great meat question !" [STAMPED, Id. ADDITIONAL.) THE GREEK DEBT. [TWOPENCE THE EARL OF CL.4RENHON AT COVENTRY. Near in difficulty to the discovery of the elixir The Coventry and Midland Counties Industrial, of life, or squaring the circle, or the invention of Manufacturing, and Fine Art Exhibition, which wsaopenell perpetual motion, must be placed the settlement by Earl Granv il le number ilhleonthe of l vi.ito ofJ r ze n , ot wu wit f hitimizi onnally closed of of us have heard of this debt, pre-eminent as has of the Greek debt. From earliest boyhood most yesterday. The weather, was large, and the proceedings passed off Hal vth in gr , e r a h l ch sucri e . e. The been its total neglect by those who owe it. has on b ia e l en in he t l h tl e Other nations had something to say on the subject commenced at 1 o'clock ; Lord Leigh, president of of their indebtedness, but Greece never so much the committee, presided, and congratulated the pro. as mentioned hers. motels of the undertaking on their success. _ _ I . . . The neglect of it killed GIRO. He did not understand the value of credit. He was not aware that want of credit meant want of the means of progress. Without progress his people were discontented, and they told him so in the most practical manner. In his retire ment he was anxious to amend his error, and tried to ascertain on what terms the debt could be settled. He promised also that in the event of his restoration to the crown it should receive his first attention ; but the election of King GEORGE buried his hopes. The present Knee comes from a race which has maintained its public credit at a standard equal to our own ; but if the same was to be done in Greece, where was the money to come from? Credit is money, and money begets money. An offer is now made, % and with its acceptance com mences the credit of the kingdom. It is for credit to open avenues for the influx of those means of constructing public works which will develop' the resources of the country, provide a market for the farmers' produce at their own doors, and enable them to pay their taxes in coin instead of in produce as at present—thus enriching the treasury, and enabling it to fulfil its obligations. The problem, therefore, comes to this : if the bondholders refuse the settleMent, then the king dom will remain at a dead-lock ; while if they accept it, they will find that they have created their own security, but may fancy that they might have made a better bargain. It is a curious ano maly : reject the offer, and it will appear that a good offer has been thrown away, because the then condition of the nation will prove that a better could not be given ; accept it, and the pro- gresa of the nation will seem to show that the offer might have been better. One thing should be clear, that the Committee of Bondholders would not have accepted this agree-' ment as a preliminary one unless they had found that they could not get a better. Certainly a surrender of 2,550,000/. of old bonds, with all their arrears, for 1,000,0001. of new bonds, seems little enough ; but then the whole of the Greek provinces of Turkey in Europe undertook the liability, and now the little Kingdom* of Greece is' called upon to shoulder the burden, and the ques tion is, how much ought she to be called upon to carry P—Daily Y WA. His lordship then read the report of the committee, which, after alluding to the great success and objects of the exhibition, stated that the number of exhibitors was 311, some of whom were from London. The total number of visitors had been 98,569, exclusive of repeated visits of season ticket holden and schools. Six thousand children had been admitted. The committee bad meson to hope that the attention of men of capital had been drawn to tho capabilities of Coventry. The Earl of CLARENDON was cordially received. He said—ln a spirit of wise bene6oence it was determined that, before that building became a great market, it should become a great school to which not only the inhabitants of Coventry, but of the surrounding districts, should be attracted, not merely by curiosity, bat by the higher me tins of studying by the eye of mutate examination and comparison, to be followed by subsequent reflection, im provement, and advantage. He deprecated any idea of the citizens of Coventry being deficient in pluck, as Insinuated in the report, and with all his heart he hoped that the new trades spoken of would be established in their midst and flourish, and that the exhibition would be the commencement of a new era, and the town would enter on a period of rinaina wee after the dark ages. He expressed a hope that similar good results would ensue from that exhibition tothoee which, he hoped, would follow from the French Exhibition, though in •lesser proportion. Englishmen must not deceive themselves. Flattery, which was always injurious, was at the present time most deceit ful., We must—in a period when competition is so active and universal, if we intend to keep our position among our competitors, and what is snore, to win—we must improve. Improvement was absolutely necessary, and no improve ' matt was real, solid, or to be relied on but that which proceeded from the exertions of the working classes, not by their unaided exertions, for great assist ance they would require : bat in affording them that indispensable assistance, and in putting our shoulders to the wheel of progress, we were all alike interested, because the interests of all dames were identical. If the interests of landlord and tenant, of manufacturer and artisan, or, generally speaking, of those who provide the capital and those who furnish the labour were supposed to be antagonistic, it was the result of prejudice and ignorance. No work was greater or more worthy of the philanthropist and well wisher of his country than to endeavour to dispel that prejudice and banish that ignorance by showing that all classes were fel low workers, and that we were all, though in different de grees, partners in the same concern. (Cheers.) Far be it from him to deny that rank, and wealth, and social pod tion created distinctions enviable and enjoyable, but not unattainable distinctions between classes, but that which I really constituted the difference between classes was I education, the mainspring of progress and success. The day was gone by when a man of wealth and position could afford to be uneducated and illiterate. Such an one would be looked upon as an object of contempt, and as one who, having neglected the opportunities of his posi tion, had also unfitted himself for its obligations. On the other hand, a man might be born in the very lowest ranks, without friends, or money, or advantages of that kind, or hope of any ; and yet it had often been the case that he managed to educate himself, or obtain an education which enabled him to turn to the best account the genius or talents with which he had been endowed. He ascended through the different strata of society, by a self-acting machine, until be stood in the light of his own eminence, lamid theeulogyof the world. Such instances were not nume rous in our country, yet were numerous enough to forbid any to despair, and induce all to take as their motto 1" Excelsior." The value and dignity of labour were never more fully recognised than now. The working man was about to be entrusted with a power which he never before possessed —an enormous power for good or evil. He I believed the great majority of working men would desire to use that power, not mischievously, but judiciously, and for good ; but they must be fitted to use it. When they did use it, and found themselves raised in the scale of po litical life, and indirectly taking part in the management of the nation's affairs. Working men would also desire to raise themselves in their own sphere, and to obtain to a greater command, not only over the material, but also over the intellectual enjoyments of life. For that they would restive political education benumb as they required industrial education, and to a large extent scientific edu cation ; and no education would be sufficient or complete which did not embrace religion. That must be provided. It was not a matter on which we could sit still and merely talk, any more than we could con tent ourselves with simply talking of the na tional defences. It must be provided if our pros perity was not to slacken—if our institutions were to maintain their excellence and equilibrium—if our manu factures were to be supported—and if the great bulk of the population was to consist of good citizens and Chris- Uses. How it was to be effected was a serious problem, involving many vexed questions to which it would be then inappropriate to allude. It was a satisfaction to know, as all must do, that the minds of Rome of the most thoughtful men were earnestly directed to this subject. If it were recognised that education in England fell short of the mark, and was not what it might or ought to be, and that the consequence was a great evil and a pressing dan ger, he had no doubt that the problem would be solved. There was one more thing which he ventured to say that was needed by the working man—it was liberty. The working man wanted his industry to be free ; his energies to be unshackled. and his liberty unrestrained, to turn to the best account Ilia labour and his shill. He fully ad mitted the benefits of association, and he did I not deny the legitimate rights of combination, but he firmly believed that if the working man was • freer man and his employer too, that it would be found within any given space of time the division of profits between capital and labour would be more equitable, and that the funds really available for the remuneration of labour would be more abundant than ander the system 'which had hitherto prevailed. (Cheers.) His ObServa tines had merely pointed the moral—they could not adorn the tale told by that building. He concluded by express ing a fervent hope that the program of art, taste, and rite chemical skill, so essential to the prosperity of Coventry, would continue, and be a lasting memorial of their enter- Priae A general vote of thanks concluded the proceedings. A concert and dinner took plans in the evening. To-day the barrister site at Kensington for the revision or the lista of the parishes of Chelsea and Ken sington.

The prizes and certificates won by the members of the Aocrington Institution at the late Scienoe and Art, Society of Arta, and Lancashire and Cheshire Union ex aminations, were distributed in the Peel Institution, Aocrington, last week, by the Marquis of Hartington sad the Right Hon. Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P. Alter tie preliminary proceedings had been gone through, Colonel WiLscier Parrir-sr addressed the meeting. He said the education question was • nest difficult one; it had baffled all the efforts of parliamentary authority ; but he, like the chairman, Loped that the passing of the Reform Bill would lead to a settlement of that question. During the forty years that he had represented that county his attention had been unceasingly given to the question of the education of the people, and he had come to a conchi sion that the impedimenta in the way of a settlement did certainly not rest with that department of the legislature! to which he bad the honour to belong. (Applause.) On the subject of education lie believed that Louse repro- rented the people of the country moat thoroughly ; the difficulty rested out of doors. We were a nation as much divided in our opinions as a nation could well be upon many points in politics, and religion, and upon everything that was of material consequence to our general welfare. We had all our opinions with regard to education, and there was scarcely a subject upon which so great a variety of opinions existed as upon that ; that variety was reflected iu the House of Commons, and hence the difficulty. He believed that when the question wan settled out of doors it would soon be settled in the House of Commons, because in his opinion that house correctly represented the feelings of the people. (Hear, hear.) In the course of the last few days he had seen by the newspapers that there were symptoms of a great alteration in the public udnd which might materially assist in arriving at a sound conclusion upon this matter. Among those who differed upon that question of ',location there were those who, on the highest principles, had always advocated the voluntary ) system. He observed that some of the moat distinguished leaders of the voluntary principle were prepared, for the sake of securing popular elementary education, to abandon the opinions they bad held for many years. His friend, Mr. Mine., M.P., had announced publicly that he had given up the opinions that he formerly held on this sub feet, and another distinguished leader of that party bad also expressed the same feeling. But that was not all ; it must he recollected that people were divided on the sub ject of religion, and there was the natural and praise worthy jealousy of those who thought deeply on religious emitters of having their children educated by those who differed from them. That was another difficulty the legislature had to contend against, and it wee perhaps the greatest, for be believed the majority of the people, however they might differ upon other points, were um . upon this—that education unconnected with religion was not a proper education for the great mass of the people of this country. (Applause.) There was another branch of education more immediately connected with that Institution upon which he wished to say a few worth—education which enabled the artisan of this consitty to compete with the artisans of the continent. It had probably been observed by many that in the reports that hod been drawn up respecting the Paris Exhibition, nothing was more remarkable, nothing perhaps more painful to Englishmen, than to see the general tendency to confess an inferiority in those branches of manufacture in England which depend upon art and science as compared with those of France. It had been stated that that superiority in which they had gained ground on the continent was attributable to the freer exercise of the talents of the people in arts and science, and in everything connected with the highest branches of manufacture. He believed so, too; and a greater man than the, the late Prince Consort—(applause)—tried to instil the same idea. (Hear. hear.) With a forethought that in all matters did him the highest honour. he never conferred • gre a ter benefit upon this country than when be suggested that the people should institute exhibitions of works of art, not so much for the sake of art itself as for the advancement of various branches of manufacture in this country. We had had in several parts of the country ample means of seeing the effects of those ex hibitions. But it was not all on the wrong side at Paris ; in several branches of manufacture we far out-rivalled foreign countries. A French commissioner had told him that there was no nation on the earth that had made such in the art of wood carving as England. (Hear, progress Tha t gentleman was a commissioner in lsl2 and 1862, and nothing had surprised him more with regard to , England than the application of the art of wood carving. He (Colonel Patten) believed that a , ose front the institu• tion of schools of art in which that branch of manufacture was more especially looked to. The object of the Prince Consort was not so much to advance art simply in con nection with art as with manufacture. He (Colonel Patten) hoped that, with the same object, art would be encouraged for the sake of manufacture in that district. Mr. W. 0. Young, a shipowner and broker of Newman's-court, Cornhill, died suddenly yesterday morn ing. It is reported that hie recent bankruptcy so affected his mind, that he was seized on Sunday with paralysis, from which he never rallied. &MERE THUNDERSTORM AT HULL.—Between one and two o'clock on Saturday afternoon a severe thunder storm passed over Hull.
