The committee on the re-organisation of the army have agreed to the demand of the govern ment that the effective force of the army be fixed at 800,000 men. The government have consented to the proposal that the annual military contingent shall be voted by the Legislative Body. The Minister of War, by order of the Emperor, has issued an order reducing from 3,000 to 2,400 francs the amount to be paid for exemption from military service. THE LONDON CONFERENCE. BERLIN, MAT 20. The ratifications of the treaty concluded at the London Conference will be exchanged in a few days, and the text of the treaty will then probably be made public. With regard to the rumours that England had proposed a general disarmament, it is semi-officially stated that no such proposals have reached Berlin. The North German Gazette ci this evening draws attention to reports of continued armaments in France. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MAY 20. The King leaves for Paris on the 3rd of June. The Emperor of Russia is expected here on the Slut inst. On the Ist of June his Majesty will go to Cologne to meet the Czarewitch, who will arrive there at the same time, to proceed with the Em peror to Paris. THE AUSTRIAN REICHSRATH. VIENNA, MAT 20. Both Houses of the Reichsrath held their first sittings to-day. In the Upper House the opening speech was delivered by the President, Prince von Auersperg. He adverted to the manner in which late eventorhave weighed upontAnstria, and;said that new bases of public law must be established. "We must attain," he added, "an undisturbed state of constitutional right in order that the belief of the people in their political privileges may be strength ened, and in order that among them the conscious ness may revive that their destinies rest in a just proportion in their own hands. A prosperous issue is only possible through union. All political parties should earnestly unite in the thought that the object in view is to render Austria great and powerful." In the Lower House, the President, Herr Giskra, in his opening speech, referred to the period during which the constitution had been suspended, and reminded the house that it had difficult duties to perform—that the principles of equal rights for all nationalities and all religious confessions, as well as real constitutional government, must become realities. Ho also declared that the compromise with Hungary must in an equitable form be carried out in both portions of the empire. CROATIA. AC:RAM, MAT 20. The draft of the address, conditionally under taking that delegates shall be sent to Pesth to assist in drawing up the inaugural diploma, and to' be present at the coronation, was adopted en bloc in to-day's sitting of the Diet. The delegates will not be elected till the royal commissioner has been withdrawn from Fiume. The party favourable to union with Hungary have entirely withdrawn from the deliberations of the Chamber. The anti unionists desire to compel the dissolution of the Diet. The deputation appointed to present the address leaves on Tuesday, ITALY. FLORENCE, NAT 20. Prince Humbert is expected to leave for Paris on the 7th of next month. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAT 19. The Sultan has decided to visit Paris. his Majesty will leave for the French capital some time in July. AMERICA. (Per City of Paris.) The Inman steamship City of Paris arrived at Queenstown at 3.30 p.m. yesterday with the mails, 1.383,709 dole. in specie, and 161 passengers, She landed he mails and passengers, and proceeded for Liverpool at 3.45 p.m. NEW YORK, MAT 11, MORIMIG. The writ of habeas corpus for Mr. Davis. granted by the Virginia Circuit Court, was served yesterday on General Burton, commander of Fortress Monroe. General Burton, in obedience to the orders of President Johnson, will obey the writ, and will leave to-morrow for Richmond with Mr. Davis, for whom apartments are prepared at Spottiswoode. honer. It is expected that he will be arraigned on Monday before Judge Underwood, unless Chief Justice Chase should arrive at Riehmond to preside at the court. General Schofield has issued a notice recommending the people not to assemble in the streets on the arrival of Mr. Davis. as no demonstration would be allowed. On Thursday hut a negro mob at Richmond rescued from the police the negro who wan arrested for fighting. Two policemen were beaten. The negroes having mustered in huge force, the police were concentrated. A squad of Federal troops finally cleared the sheets and restored order. General Sheridan has extended the time for the regis tration of voters in his district until the let June. Senator Kelley addressed mutating at New Orleans in favour of the radical policy, yesterday. Senator Wilson has reached Montgomery, where be re ceived an ovation and torchlight procession from the negroes of Augusta and Oeoruba The wheat crop in North Carolina promises well, but the crops generally throughout the west and south are greatly damaged by the floods. Th; notice superintendent at New York, acting under an obsolete but unrepealed itatnte. has ordered all planes of business to be closed on Sunday. Great indignation was caused among the shopkeepers, and a riot was appre hended. The order however wee subsequently revoked. A woman's rights convention is in session at New York, at which female suffrage has been strongly advocated. Tae STAFF OF SPAnc.—We mai in the redipenel n nee Bel : " News from Snain still presents the situation under anything but a satisfactory aspect. Me asures of rigour and arrests of Vie "impeded continue, and the len guaze of the Pr •4 lent of the Connell in the Reiste shows that the government itself is not at ease with regard to the maintenance of order. Martial NAI7II^Z has I een com pelled to admit that at the present moment the Queen's throne has nothing to support it but the army. The Chamber of Deputies, though elected under the pressure of the government, does not iospiri the cabinet with confidence, for the bill it has just introduced upon the reform of the regulations of that assembly virtually annuls all parliamentary initiative and all liberty of dismission. Our Madrid correspondent gives no an ana -1 bids of this measure, which would be incredible were it not true. The only courageous wor Is in favour of consti tutional liberties are still heard in the Senate. Signor Vaamonde, an ex-minister, has made a 'pooch upon the policy of the government,'which proves that patriotism and political sagacity are not yet extinguished in the Penin sula." PHOTIBTLNT MOVIMENT IN ITALY.— The Avenir Ratin , ,nl says that a protestant movement of real Impor tance is talcing place in Italy, and that evangelical churches are being established In Florence, Naples, Genoa, Venice, Tarim, Fades, and Bologna. The M”niteur (fic Foir contains an official piece of news of considerable importance. The govern ment so far yields to the pressure of opinion in the Corps Legislatif, shown by the attitude of the bureaux, which very nearly authorised M. Picard's interpellations, as to reduce the price of exemption from military service from 3,000 fr. to 2,500 fr. This change, however, cannot be taken as an indi cation of any value upon the great question of peace or war. The Army Bill, to be voted this session, proposes to abolish altogether the " exoneration" system to which M. Picard's intended question referred. It was only a few years ago that the govern ment abolished the private offices at which substitutes were provided at a price regulated only by the fluctuations of supply and demand ; and took upon itself to fix the rate which a man drawn for service should pay for his exemp tion. The highest military authorities, General Changarnier included, are of opinion that the in novation works badly, and the government has determined to return to the old system. The re duction, therefore, now announced by the Moni tem, applies only to the short time that will elapse before the new law comes into operation. The " important communication" made to-day . . 'as announced to the committee on the army bill is understood to have put an end to the 'difference which subsisted between it and `the government. The committee agrees to re commend a vote that the effective army shall i lbe increased (sera porti) to 800,000 men without more saving. There is not to be a word about this :being the complete number, or the maximum or minimum. It is to be expressly stipulated that the Corps Legislatif is to retain the privilege of voting the contingent annually, but as far as I can understand the terms of the " compromise" there is a " tacit understanding" that 800,000 is to be the lowest normal figure. As I surmised yester day the obstinate opposition of the committee has produced little result in substance. At the Princess Mathilde's usual Sunday evening reception yesterday, the King and Queen of the Belgians were present. But the event of the evening was that the first Siamese ambaasador(ne ; phew of the King) was accompanied by his 'wife, who has never before appeared in la Parisian salon. This lady was dressed in the court costume of her own country—a rich silk dress with gold embroidery. She is very little. dark complexioned, of course, and her tiny hands are not bigger than those of a child 11 years old. The Bourse, after some fluctuation, closed very firm, Rents effecting a further rise of 10 and 17i. THE PENIAN TRIALS. DUBLIN, MnignAT. Sentence of death has been passed on Captain M'Cafferty. The prisoner addressed the court, and pro tested against the injustice of the sentence on the ground that guilt had been brought home to him on the evidence of a perjured witness. He denied that two independent witnesses bad been produced to prove the overt not of treason alleged against him. He did not deny that be sympathised with the Irish people, and claimed that he had a right, as an American, to sympathise with the Irish or any other people who might please to revolt against a form of government by which they were tyrannically treated. Englishmen sympathised with both parties in the late American war ; but who ever heard of an Englishman being &Treated and prosecuted by thelinitesl States government for taking up arms for the Confederate States? If he were free to-morrow, and the Irish people were to take the field for independence, his sympathies would be with them ; and he would join them if they had any hope of winningthat independence; whilst he would not give his sanction to any useless effusion of blood. He found no fault with the judge or jury. He would go to his grave as a gentleman and a Christian. Thnugh he regretted that he should he cut off at this stage of his life, still he recollected that many noble and generous Irishmen fell on behalf of their native land.

The following was the address read yesterday by the Prince of Wales : May it please your Majesty,— The report which, as President of the Provisional Com mittee of the Hall of Arts and Sciences, I have the honour to lay before your Majesty, will be found to contain a brief outline of the origin and progress of the undertaking to the present time. It is not necessary for me to remind your Majesty that the building of which you are graciously pleased to lay the first stone today, is one of the results of the Exhibition of 18:11, and that it forms &prominent feature in the scheme contemplated by m 7 dear father fur perpetuating the success of that Exhibition, by providing a couanou centre of union for the various departments of science and art. I cannot doubt that to your Majesty the events of this day, with their manifold associations, must ho full of mournful interest. For myself, I ne ed not say that, sharing those (*Hinge, it is also with gratification that I find myself co-operating in the endeavour to give effect to a plan which had commended itself to the judgment of my father. Your Majesty's presence to-day will be the best en couragement to us to persevere in the work, and render it in all respects worthy of the objects for which it is designed- EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (THOX OUR OWN COI PARIS, MO/MAT Emma. [STAMPED, 11. ADDMONAL.] IN PRICE'S usrma TO A LADY FRIEND The Paris correspondent of the Post has been permitted by Mrs. Wimldeton Price to publish her letter to Mrs. Brewster Hervey on Lord Cowley's hall, observing Mrs. W. P.'. original and no doubt correct mode of spelling certain words used in the highest society. The epistle runs thus -- . " Pans, Boulevard Malesherbes, Saturday, May 18. " Dearest Mrs. Brewster,—l write a little excited, although it is all over ! Well, I have been to the grand , st hall that was ever given to crowned beads at the British Embassy. I hove lost one of my diamonds, but Jan* rya I shall get it again. The Emperor, the Empress, the Prince of Wales (I hope the poor princess is better, poor dear), the King and Queen of the Belgium, Prince Oscar of royal blood (comes from Lapland, I hear), • Russian princess, of course • relative of the Czar—so much like Mrs. Ram bridge. Yon think I have done, no, dear no! H.R.H. the Princess Luncheonbourg, or some such a name ; our dear Prince Alfred, all the Bonaparte family, every one of them so like Napoleon I. All the ambassadors, ministers, all the Senate and deputies, and all the fashionable world. I should think there must have been six thousand people present, the gentlemen wearing stars, the St. George and the Dragon Garter—so Mr. 'Wardle call it—covered with orders the men, and sparkling with diamonds the ladies. It produced upon one such • feeling of insignificance as when you look up at a starry glittering firmament, and yet I wore my diamond cross. Oh ! dearest, there is something in high society, as Mr. Wardle says; however hot and crowded, it is another atmosphere. My dress, green satin, made at Madame Worts, very short, very tight, arm rename de satin blame. I would wear my Indian red shawl, though {prohibited to do so by the dressmaker. Why, my dear, it coot 150/.,and I should like to know when lam to wear it, if not at a royal ball. Now, I want you to have an idea of the general aspect of bell-rooms. How shall I, leery, describe it! Well, remember the lighted evening Res at Madame T.'s wax-works, Baker-street, and then imagine all those emperors, and kings, and queens, and marshals, and princesses suddenly coining to life and forming quadrilles and dancing to heavenly music! There dear, there, and yet it was more sweetly beautiful than that. Mr. Wardle was our gentleman friend, and Rosy looked, I think, pretty—tulle blase, my dear, with natural flowers. Although our party knew no one, we felt per fectly at home. You are salted to these balls on account of your rank and respectability. [Mrs. Wimbleton Price is the widow of—. No, I won't.) Mr. Wardle—we made friends with him in Paris—his family is not here ; he is so good-natured, sod must be • very respectable person, as he says a relative of his is sure to be lord mayor next year. It was Mr. Wardle who hired the largest car riage be could get to take as to the ball, with arms on the door, and two splendid footmen, looking like one's own. Mr. Wardle would give them orders in French when to come for us, so they never appeared, and we went home in • common cab. If he had said' 4 o'clock,' in English, all would have been well, stair patience, as the French have it. Well, dear, I send you from • French newspaper how the Empress was dressed—' Une robe de tulle bLne, garnie de rubana de satin et de volubilis, mauve et diadems en diamana.' She looked like Mary Queen of Soots, only more lovely. The Emperor Na poleon, in a room. is the handsomest man 1 ever saw ; he wore the St. George Garter. The Prince of Wales, dear, they say is growing like the late Count D'Orsay, but I say so, like George IV. ; he's remarkably handsome, and gentlemanly. There was the Princes, Clotilde, the King of Italy's daughter ; she is truly beautiful ; also talk, dear, and emeralds. Mr. Wardle says the Emperor gave him • nod, but I doubt it ; lie is so amusing, but not exactly of the highest class. I made several Court courtesies, which were generally returned. Jane war asked to dance once, but there was no room to stand up. I shall stern, serer, care for county balls again ; you can't, after mixing with royalty. The imperial and royal people kept to them selves, and our kind einbauarlor and her ladyship a little too much—that is to say, they did not come amongst the company and chat with us. It is all nonsense, dearest, to say that the higher people are the more familiar h. their manners. Ido not think much of the Belgian king and queen ; you certainly could tell they were soterrioas in a crowd. You remember poor dear Price took us to Brussels. Paris rosy be dear, but Friday's ball was worth all the money. Show this letter to that proud thing, Lady C—, I do think It will annoy her. "There was • grand supper. I actually saw the sore reigns and princes eat. They seemed to enjoy it much. These great people speak to each other whilst refreshing themselves. The Prince of Wale., laughed, the Emperor only tended ; but what • smile ! Poen. tor.,, as the Italians say, the evening pessed away. Mr. Wardle kept pointing out this or that great personage, and yet we were sure he could not possibly know them by sight even. I shall be photographed in n.y ball dress, and so shall Jane. Our friend Mi. Wardle can take over your bonnet. I will stop for the Emperor and Empress of Russia. I was so near the Empress once I could have touched her—there / I am invited to a grand ball at the Princess Potokowaki'a, or some such name; don't know her ; Mr. Wardle got the invitation. I did not go to the state banquet at the Tuile ries ; the invitation must have been badly direeted. And now, dear. boon notte, as they say in the Barber of Seville.' There are a number of common English, but of course none went to one ball. Show this letter to all our friends.—Ever, dearest, affectionately, " Ecru WiraLrros Paws." REFORM DEMONSTRATION IN SHRoPSHTRE.—A long-projected demonstration of reformers of the iron dis trict in East Shropshire took plaoe at D.rwley last night. Resolutions condemning the restrictions in the govern. ment bill, and expressing confidence in Mr. Gladstone, were adopted. ROYAL HORTICrLTURAL SOCIETY.—Thia society held a great floral fete yesterday in honour of the visit of her Majesty the Queen, who walked through the conser vatory and on the terraces, after laying the first stone of the Hall of Arts and Sciences. Her Majesty was pleased to stop and ins pec t the collection of Mr. Win. Bull, of King's-road, Che lse a, who displayed the Prince Consort's gold medal awarded to him last year. Unfortunately, the weather in the afternoon was the reverse of that in the morning, and in consequence of the heavy rain but few people remained to hear the excellent music played by the band of the Royal Hone Guards. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN ASYLUM, SNARES RROOR.—Captain Williams, of the Parramatta, lately arrived from Sydney, has handed to the secretary the sum of :15 guineas, subscribed in aid of the funds of this institution by the puseagars, odious, and crew of that .easel during her outward and homeward voyages. Ad. r,oe of the following bequests in favour of the charity hoe also been recently received :—Mr. Thos. (larks, of Norwood, 10/. ; Mr. Gerona Gray, of Row, 100/. ; Mr. W. J. Hall, of Tower.hill, 1 , 0001 . ; and Captain W. H. Pare, el IlLortlaka, 2501. To this address her Majesty retnrned the fol lowing reply, a copy of which was handed to her by Mr. G. Hardy I thank you for your affectionate and dutiful address. It has been with a struggle that I have nerved myself to • compliance with the wish that I should hike pert in this day's ceremony ; but I have been sustained by tho thought that I should assist by my presence in promoting the ac oomplishinent of his great designs to whose memory the gratitude and affection of the country is now leering a noble monument, which I trust may yet look down on such a centre of restitutions for the promotion of art and science as it was his fond hope to establmh here. It is sitz wish that this hall should beer his name to whom it wilt have owed its existence, and be milled "The Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences." The Archbishop of CANTERBURY offered up the following special prayer, which his grace read in so loud and clear a tone, that it was distinctly audible throughout the tent : O Lord God Almighty, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy, behold, we pray Thee, with Thy favour this our work, which we begin in Thy holy name and com mend to Thy gracious protection. Prosper it with the dew of Thy blaming, and give it such success as way best pro mote Thy honour and glory. May the Arts that shall hero be fostered be the Arts of Peace ministering to the wel fare and happiness of mankind ; and let the Sciences of which this building is to be the abode lead to the know ledge of Thee, whom to know is life eternal. May tut study of Thy works in creation. and of Thy act. of pro- vidence and grace, move all men to adore Thy Majesty, and praise Thee for Thy loving-kindness .n.l mcluy ; vo that, advancing in true religion and virtue, we Thy 'wept° may ever serve Thee in all godly quietness, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. This was followed by the Lord's Prayer, and the Benediction, which were pronounced by the vener able primate in an equally impresaive manner. The band and chorus performed the " Invoes zione all' Armenia," composed by the late Prince Consort, Signor Mario and Mesdames ltudersilortf and Dolby singing the solos ; and the proceedings were closed with the repetition of the National Anthem. Her Majesty then left the dais, and accompanied by the princes and princesses, passed through the tent into the conservatory of the Horticultural Gardens. As the Queen walked slowly through the tent, the spectators on either side of her path had a more than usually favourable oppor tunity of observing the royal countenance. Her Majesty appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, and seemed greatly pleased at the warmth and cordiality of her reception. She spoke a few words to Signor Mario and M. Costa—stopping a moment for the purpose—and frequently acknow ledged by gracious inclinations the hearty applause wluch anticipated, accompanied, and followed her . The conservatory was occupied by programe nd .7entlemen who, unable to obtain ad mission to the tent where the business of the day was transacted, had waited patiently through the morning to catch a glimpse of the Sovereign us she passed through on her way out of the gardens. They were not less demonstrative in their loyalty than their more favoured fellow-subjects, and her Majesty was everywhere saluted with the most fervent and sincere expressions of loyalty. In the conservatory, and the adjoining arcade there was a show of wallas and other spring or early sum mer flowers ; and her Majesty paused more than once to notice some of the choicer specimens. The principal exhibitors were Messrs. Veitch, Turner, Low, Lee, Williams, Bull, Henderson and Son, Lome and Son, W. Paul, Carter and Co., F. and A. Smith (Dulwich), Wills, &c. As she entered the conservatory her Majesty was received by the Duke of Buccleuch, the President, Lonl H. Len nox, M.P. and other members of the Council of the Hortic ultural: Society. The noble duke pee -1 sented to the Queen a very handsome bouquet, composed of orchids, lilies, fens, &c., which her Majesty graciously accepted ; and his grace and the other members of the council accompanied her to the entrance in the Albert-road, at which the royal carriages were drawn up, and from which her Majesty drove to Buckingham Palace, escorted, as upon her arrival, by a squadron of Life Clouds. The weather was fine throughout the ceremony, but shortly after the Queen took her departure rain came on, and it fell steadily during the after noon, entirely preventing any pneuerading in the gardens, and occasioning serious inconvenience to those persons who, not having carriages of their own, had omitted to secure the attendance of albs. The building is to be erected by Memoirs. Lucas, the contractors, after the designs of Lieutenant- Colonel Scott, LIE., at a cost of 200,0001. The inscription upon the stone laid by her Majesty yesterday was simply : ' • TEis stone was Isla by her Mo■t Gracious Majesty QuEEN VICTIIRI A, May 20,1867. _ The lines were deeply graven in the stone, and the letters were faced with gold. WARTHOUREMEN AND CLIDURie SCllOOl.N.—The half-yearly general court of governors and mbeerihers wee held last evening at the Guildhall Coffee-home ; Mr. W. Ureatorex in the chair. The report of the board of management began by giving the financial statement, from which it appeared that the receipts fur the past half year, including a - balance from the preceding period, h. d been 1,9727. 2a. Id., and that the expenditure amounted to 1,9741. 19s. 6d. In consequence of the liberal coutribu thins on the occasion of the iietuguration cm - newsy last year, it had been thought advisable to omit the annual festival; and it had been, therefore, found necessary to entrench upon the reserve tend by the sale of 1,(A11g. 3 per cent. Commie to meet the etpemes of the current year. The board were thankful to report th,it the hea th of the establishment during the past six months had been Pais factory, with but one exception. They ftgretteil to an nounce the death of Mr. John Bradbury, one of the trustees and a very liberal supporter of the achonle, and they begged to nominate in his place Mr. John D. AU croft. They also regretted the death of Mr. Geo. Lawrence, the late hon. secretary, who ren dered most essential services to the institution at its foundation. There were at present 109 children in the schools (being four more than at any former period), of whom 77 were boys and 32 girls. Of that number six boys and one girl would leave at Midsummer, but at the elec tion which would take place the following day (to -day) eight more would be admitted, raieiug the total to HO. The whole of the account' in coonex . with the new building had been paid. The huil.ling had LOW been oc cupied more than a year, and was found to poster all the advantages which were anticipated for the health and comfort of the children. The report having been adopted, a resolution was introduced by Mr. Allcroft which pro posed to empower the committee to admit the cons of subscribe,, to be educated with the other children the funds allowed of the school being filled by other children, and that the annual charge should fur the pre sent be fixed at 311., payeblo half-yearly in advance. The resolution was nirratived by a large majority, after which the pewee sings terminated. The Rev. Wm. Francis Shaw, M.A., has been collated to the vicarageof pastry ; the Rev.
