Some 1 71enna papers oontidn re-assuring statements ; others continue to publish rumours of s warlike Datum, and assert that Prussia will shortly send an ultimatum to the Austrian govern ment. Awarding to the Prase, Prussian troops have been pushed forward to the Silesian frontier, where preparations are being made for establishing the headquarters of Prince Frederick Charles. The Emperor Francis Joseph addressed a letter to the King of Prussia congratulating his Majesty on the occasion of his birthday, but containing n• political allusions. It is rumoured that Prussia has offered Austria 50 million Claim if the latter will cede her rights over the duchies. A telegram from Lemberg announces that the majority of the members of the Galician Diet are preparing a petition to the Emperor of Austria re questing the establishment of an Aulic chancel lorship for Galicia.

The motion was opposed by Senor Dominguez on ac count of the state of political affairs in Europe. CHINA. (Vie Alexandria.) SHANGHAI, Fin. 9. The Nienfei rebellion is becoming more alarming. Newchong is in danger, and the residents are drilling. Hankow is also threatened, the rebels being within twenty miles of the city, burning the surrounding villages. The foreign residents are preparing to resist any attack. The English and French consuls are also making arrangements for the safety of the residents, and the gunboats Car diff and Algerine are held in readiness to render assistance in case of need. It is reported that the rebels intend to attack Pi king. The rebels near Swatow are said to be organising a flotilla to attack Chow-chow-too. The French Municipal Council of Shanghai have been imprisoned for refusing to deliver up certain document,. The particulars have not transpired. N.B. According to the later advices from China received via Galls by overland telegraph, and pub lished on the 21st inst., the movements of the rebels in the vicinity of the Northern porta were less threatening. THE MEDITERRANEAN. (rsoat otra oww CORRIMPONDINT.) MALTA, Meson 19. The term of quarantine imposed last week by the local government en vowels arriving from Alexandria, in consequence of a case of cholera having taken plass there, has been abolished, as official intelligence was received this morning that there has been no other cue in Egypt since that reported on the Bth inst., and that the public health is without suspicion both at the Isthmus, and also at Gaze, Jaffa, and Je rusalem. The removal of this quarantine is considered of great a vantage to the poor per pie of Malta, as if • strict one preventing passengers panning through this island to or from India from landing had been maintained for a long period, its effecta would have been lesions to tradesmen, who, in these critical times, are hardly doing any business. The long-expected reliefs for this garrison have now ar rived. The Simooni, 4, Captain Lethbridge, entered the Nanamuseetto harbour on Friday evening from Kings town, with the let battalion of the 60th Rifles, under the command of Colonel North; and the Tamar, 2, Captain Sterling, arrived in Malta this morning, also from King/. town, conveying the let battalion of the Bth animist, under the command of Colonel Rind., C.B. The former regiment will relieve the Ist battalion 22nd Foot, which corps is expected to embark early next week for New Brunswick, sod the latter is to take the place of the' ad battalion 4th King's Own, ordered to proceed to New Brunswick in the Tamar. Two officers of the 100th Royal Canadisns, Lieutenant 1 George M. Fox and Resign Albert Merritt, were brought up before the police-oourt last week on the charge of hav ing, on the night of the 10tb inst., repeatedly disturbed the publics peace and struck several pollee-constables without any last cause, in the vicinity of the Opera-house. It would appear that the two young °Myers were dealt with rather severely, for they were sen tenced t ) the payment of a fine of 151. each for creating disturb ince', end to three months' imprisonment for strikiag several policemen whilst in the execution of their duties Besides, they were also compelled to give their personal Mr: entity for sf.d. each to maintain public order and tranquillity, such security to be guaranteed by two good bail, and to last for the period of one year. It 'teems that this sentence has created a bed feeling and dissatisfaction amongst the rash meat to which the two officers telosg, for on the evening of the day when the sentence was passed a number of !soldiers of that regiment attempted to get up a d sturbanee, am the Open-house, sad attack the police ; but several arrests were made immediately, and the attempt was frus trated. During the last two days the whole regiment was confined to barracks, and, as a matter of precaution, the corps was moved to-day from town to Verdala Barracks on the oth.r sided the water—the 84th Foot taking the place of the 100th in Lower St. Elmo Barracks. THE SQUIRES OUTWITTING THEMSELVES—WO hope the 'quires are content. It is stated th et the cattle supply of London hes risen to its old level, about 4,000 bead A week, of which 3,490 were imported from the Continent. The h..t effect, therefore, of this wild Cattle Plague Act, forced upon government by the squires, has been to transfer nearly the whole cattle supply of London, my 200 000' beasts a year, worth at least 4,000,0001., to foreign genders. ' Tenant farmers, who, and not the landlords, pay for all this fun, will do well to remember the facts at the next election. The latest idea is to prohibit the import of cattle from Bollaude under erotism that some of the beasts recently imported wets diseased. Tbe squires are too timid. They should prohibit impoetatios altogether, end demos that the butcher should pay 2s. per lb. for beet, half the price to go in rid of reotal.-Bpootaror. GALE AT LIVERPOOL —A MENAOWEIN CAPSIZED. —On Friday evening last a severe gale from the south-lest swept over Liverpool, sod did eoesiderable damage ; but although the river was aeasnally crowded with shipping no serious diameter occurred.

Mr. Bus hes Woe at tended a meeting of the • operative com mittee, and it was at length detonidied—irreneetive of the hoe. pestle:lien's opinions —that a requisitin should be sent to the mayor requesting him to neveme a public, mooing. , for Friday agreeing last, for the pur pose of taking into ooesideratioa the goverment Reform MI. The mayor willingly complied with the request, and Mr. Bass and Mr. 00z were invited to attend. The Guildhall and the lobbies were densely crowded, and malty were unable to obtain admittanoe. It wee an enthusiastic meeting, and the reception of Mr. Baas we. cordial and enthusiastic,. The MAYOR occupied the chair. The Maros having *need the proceedings, Mr. Eroara moved the first resolution :—" That this meeting, while regardinz the government Reform Bill as falling short of the fast expeetatioss of the people, yet agrees to accept it, as offering • substantial addition to the constituency, and resolves to render the bill Its cordial support." Mr. MOORLRY aseanded the motion, which was agreed to. Mr. F. J. FORMAN proposed the second resolution : " That this meeting begs to request the two borough num ber* to use their utmost inflation in support of the govern ment eneavare of reform," which was wooded by Mr. Den. Mr. Baca (who was suffering from a severe cold) then roes, and wee received wish loud cheering. In the course of his address, the hon. member said—l believe that it is pityingly impossible to do what Mr. Lowe propane— to pass all et once a boundary bill, a franchise bill, and an anti-bribery bill ; and nadir the circumstances I think the govern:not have taken the best course, sad we have their assurance that this bill will be followed by one for the re. distribution of seats. I believe there are 70 boroughs TO. turnips upwards of 100 member, to parliament the popula tion of no one of which does not in any one one amount to 10,000. and the presumption is that in case any bill for the re-distribution of seats is proposed thole will be - are sort of jeopardy of losing one or both ef their members ; sad it is, I think, admitted as all bands that the members for the threatened boroughs will be hound to vote against any bill which would dis franchise them—(climes)—so that a bill foe the re distribution of seats la the present house will ham at least 70 members who will vote till they are black in the face against it. (Omen and laughter.) Now although I admit that the redistribution of seats will very considerably affect the incidence of reform, I do sot see why it is impoedble that • new padMment, chasm under an extended franchise, could rot deal satisfactorily with this great question. (Cheers.) But whatever rosy happen, be sure that you will have a good share of the franchise, and according to the present pro posal, the constituency will be doubled. Then &ere will be a considerable addition to the enfranchised workmen, and ridging from the specimens we hem bad here to-eight, shall be rejoiced to see it, we shall have no muse to fear. (Applause.) You will have it in your power to return such mat es you may think proper, honest sass, who by their character are known to sympathise with your views. (Cheers.) And if, after eighteen , years &ambition with you, I may presume to give yon one word of advice, whenever you get this bill, exercise your franchise in an upright consistent manger. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) The Rev. W. Griffiths proposed the adoption of a petition to the Bones of Ominous founded on the above resolatim, which was agreed to; sad Mr. Bess, as senior member for the borough, wee requested to present it, and Mr. Cox to support its prayer. THE PORTSMOI7TH DOCKYARD EMPLOY E 3. A l l meeting of the employes in Portsmouth Dockyard was held at the Landport-ball on Saturday evening, to take into consideration the 16th section of the Franchise Extortion Act. Mr. Bennett occupied the chair and the hall was nearly filled with working me.. Mr. Sm ithl moved, and Mr. Jessop seconded, "That this meeting deprecates as unjust and uncalled for the introduction of the 16th clause of the Franchise Extension Bill which propmes to exclude from the exercise of the franchise all employes of her Majesty's doctyards, factories, arsenals, he." The reeoluticra was un animously agreed to. Mr. Smith moved, sad Mr. Helsel moulded, "That this meeting pledgee itself to use its utmost endeavours, by petition and otherwise, to prevent clause 16 of the Fraaehise Extension Act passing into law.* This resolution was also agreed to, as was also a form of petition to the House of Oommona ; and it was further resolved that Mr. Serjeant Casale*, one of the members for the borough, should be requested to present it. Mr. Welch moved a resolution to the effect that their members be requested to oppose the bill altogether, if the government refused to withdraw the clause. This resolution, however, gave rise to a good deal of confusion and uproar, and its proposer was loudly hissed. Mr. Edion ultimately seconded the retain hoe. Mr. Robertson, who said be well knew what tor/ tactics were, moved au amendment to the effect that their members be desired to support the motion for the second reading of the bill, and at the same time to use their beet exertions to obtain the removal of the 16th clause. Mr. E. Tilly seconded the amendment, which was carried by a large majot iter. _ _ iinerron.—On Friday night a largely attended meeting was held at the Town-hall, Newton Abbot, for the purpose of consideriog the propriety of adopting ape tition to parliament in favour of the Reform Bilf. Dr. ham, in introducing the petition that was to be presented for their signatures, drew a very vivid picture of the present legislation of this country, which he styled a class hp' la lion. He considered that the working dames were not fairly or adequately represented ; and be thought that some ' means should be adopted to put the representation of the working and middle classes on a eater and more equit able footing. He reviewed the main provisions of the biU, and concluded by movie g the adoption of the petition. Mr. S. Ford (Abbotakerswell) bad often felt the iripistloe of the franohise as it now stood, and considered that the present sitting members for South Devon did not properly represent their constituencies. He oonsidered the present Reform Bill would do great good to the country if pared. Mr. J. Bowden, Ipplepeo, strongly deprecated the political disbooesty of some of the members of the present par liament. He considered that the Reform Bill as it at pre soot stood was far from being perfect, but having a firm faith and belief in Mr. Gladstone's political eormisteney he believed that se the government saw bow this, the firth instalment of the bill was received, and how it worked, that they would soon bring forward a measure which would be but the finishing touches to the present Reform Bill by the redistribution of electoral mats. The chairman then put the resolution to the meeting, which was carried 'mai mainly, and it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. R. H. R. Baker, that the petition be sent to Mr. Jardine, the liberal member for Ashburton, to present to parliament. Mencnissraa.—A requisition is about to be pre sented to the Mayor of Manchester asking him t 3 conveoe a town's meeting in reference to the government Reform Bill, and a preliminary meeting to ponces* the necessary measures will be held in the Clarence Hotel to-day. DELPH. A successful meeting was held on Thursday evening, in the Co-operative-hall, Delph, under the auspices of the Nrtioaal Reform Union ; Mr. J. F. Broadbent in the chair. A resolution pledging the meeting to support the government in their determination to pan the reform measure was introduced by Mr. J. Roe buck, seconded by Mr. J. T. Wood, and supported by Mr. Edwin Mellor. Mr. Michael Smith, of Manchester, de livered an address. The resolution was paned by acclama tion. Many new members were enrolled. &flu Art's. THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS. The British artists opened to-day their forty-third Exhibition at their gallery in Suffolk-street with a rolls& don of *tune which, if numbers have anything to do with prosperity be art, mart be highly satisfactory to the Insorpor•Md Society of Brill& Artists. The specious rooms us absolutely crammed with pictures, and in that allotted to water-colour drawings, such is the overflow of contributioes, that it hes been found neeeseary to place a large Doreen in the middle of the room in order to exhibit the hundred drawings more than the walls could be made to bear. With all this abundance, however, It is but poor cmoeuragemeat for the prospects of the Society that we I can find in the Exhibition. Out of all the great crowd of commonplace painters only two or three can be singled out as showing eny freshness and originality. The rest are either the estimable members' 4 the society, whose works have been the main support of the Exhibition ever den its origin, near half a century ago, or the indiscriminate " rack" of outsiders that ex perienced hangers can no more dispense with than the ma gazine editors can with their " padding." In point of art interest there is not much to choose between the two, and it Ise always been the misfortune of the Society of British Artists that their more gifted members and exhibitors have been translated, while the duty of keeping up the exhibi tioe has fallen upon a attain number of venerable incurs bests. When the occurs at the band of death, as in the case of the late Mr. Herring, and Maas. Physic*, Pidding, and Mr. H. J. Boddington, as well as from • principle of selection of another hied, se is the case of those members, like Mr. Vicat Cole, who has rir Gently left the ranks of the society, it beoomes • matter of no small difficulty to maintain the position once attained. We observe three new names amongst the members year—those of E. C. Bernie, Wyk* Bayliss, and E. Hayes, which represent • fair accession to the painters of doomedle genre, water colour, and marine. It must how- ever, we imagine, be obvious enough that an enterprising dealer like Mr. Wallis can All this gallery with now pia tares of much higher merit than the society itself era command, and under those lire:credences it is impossible not to feel that the British artiste, as a body, would be very much relieved by being included in the scheme of the Royal Academy foe admitting • much larger number of the artiste of the country to membership. As a chartered body of artists they have a first claim to consider-atlas in any recondruotioe, and we could conceive that an absorption of this kind would be far preferable to the sort of decadence which seems to M ewed them, and which is certainly not flattering to British Art THE ADDRESS OF CONVOCATION TO THE QUEEN. The following is the address presented to her Majesty on Saturday by a deputation from convocation of the province of Canterbury, se reported in another eolumn:— "Madam—We, yourlfsjesty's faithful subjects, the arch bishop, bishop., and clergy of the proviso* of Canterbury, in Convocation assembled, approach your Majesty with the amarance of our loyal sad affectionate attachment to your Majesty's throne and person.

Lord Russell Dan sommosed the liberals to a meeting on the 101 h, to consider "matters of importance shad, in sending round his invitations, we believe, the noble lore hsa included all those members who as the late election avowed themselves to be advocates of a measure of reform ; and it is anticipated, not, we believe, without reason, that at this meet ing he will intimate the intemion of the govern ment to dissolve parliament, should the second reading be defeated, or any serious interference with the bill take plane in committee.

Some of these gentlemen now say that they do • not, on that semount, owe at y allegiance to the ministry of Lord Russell ; they contend that the absence of Lord Pal ineratoo makes all the difference, and they say that the fact of the cabinet being composed very much as it was a year ago is not sufficient to hind them to its support. I Such a plea is most Pot. Lord Palmeraton's figure filled so large a space that its cheeses is enough to change the cha racter of the whole group, and those who, having promised ; to support the Palmerston ministry, decline to support the Russell, cannot be monied of imonsisteney. But I the sense reason taken conversely fully *tines the govern : meet in dissolving if they think proper. They mayssy, "This isnot oar parliament. If we are not Lord Palmer ! ston's goversineot, we were lot in being when the last ' ricers' decries took place. We have as good a right to dissolve ea if we bad alt just uadertaken office for the first time." This argument is not to be oonteoverted ; and if Lord Russell should announce a dissolution as the conse quence of a defeat, so one has a night to quarrel with the deciaton on the ground of the youth of the parliament.

COTTON GOODS. M•xenseesa, linen 24. The large arrivals of option this week at Liverpool have affected the market and given a decided check to business and to the upward tendency of prices. The effect was palpable enough so early as Tuesday, when the sales fell off very considerably, and business has been on a compara tively small scale ever since. La export yarns on Tuesday the market was tame, and prices were in favour of buyers. but spinners having large contracts already still adhered to the high quotations of last week. In home trade yarns manufacturers preferred waiting to giving the high rates current, and there was a dull market. Since Tuesday the market has continued languid and inactive, and prices have given way in yarns to the extent of about Id. per lb. in cases when spinners linnet holdieg contract' which preclude them from competing for orders. Spinners of vans for export are not pressing sales, but in home tr ads yarns there bads hardly been business enough offering very folly to test the full extent of she decline in values as compared with last week. In cloth buyers were less 'arguing. and kept beck orders on Tuesdav, but manufacturers were generally firm in prices owing to the large contracts on hand for nearly all kinds of printing cloths, shirtiegs, and light fabries for ludis. For the lower &asses of goods weeklies, manifested itself mo•e strongly yesterday, and this morning prices ge nerally hive beers weaker, buyers of goods on speealation some reeks ago, at lower proems, having come into the mark. t to off. r them for resale at prices which marinfac , turers are indispoesd to compete with.

THE THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB. According to the usual custom the competing crews were entertained at dinner in the rimming, at Wil Rooms, as guests of the Thames Subscription Club, under the presidency of the Hoe. G. Denman. M.P. The company included Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Nicholson, Bart, Mr. R. Young, M.P. ; the Oxford crew and nine friends, the Cambridge crew and nine friends, Alderman and Sheriff Gibbons ; Captain of Hadley boat, Second Captain of Eton boa* ClaPtainof Westminster boats, Mr. Edwin Hood, Colonel Beason, Mr. J. Bridge, Mr. Morgan J. O'Oonnel, Mr. J. W. Nicholson. Mr. J. W. Chitty, Mr. Walter Bovill, Mr. R. Phillips, Captain Cotton, Mr. J. Gow Stewart, Mr. J. Draper, Mr. W. B. Woodgate, Mr. R. Marsha= After the first loyal toasts had been given and duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN proposed the " Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the royal family," aid in doing so referred to the presence of the Prince of Wales at the Ox ford and Cambridge race • year or two ago, and the grati fication which his royal bigness received from the sight. (Cheers.) At the noe of the present year the Thames Subecriptioe Club had hoped to have had Prime Alfred on board their steamer, but his royal highness bad bees prevented by other duties from so far honourieg them. This, however, was perhaps matter more for rejoidng than regret, for if t he prince had been on board the club steamer he would not bays seen much of the race. (Laughter.) The next toast was the " Army, navy, and volunteers," in proposing which The Cuaraitan mentioned that Sir F. Nicholson, who was a member of the Thames Conservancy Board, ha d ten days ago voluntarily pot himself Into oommuoicatiosi with him and their secretary (Mr. H. C. Smith), asking whether be could be of aoy service is helpiog to give them a better chance of a fair race, as far as the steamers were oonoerned. (Cheers.) They discussed the matter with him, and no doubt that discussiou led to what would be admitted to have been • great improvement upon former years. (Cheers.) Sir F. NiciteLson, in responding to the toast, gave the assurance that the cooserrators were ready to do everything in their power to aid these races, or indeed anything that might tend to promote so healthful • recreation as rowing. Colonel Bassow replied for the army. Mr. J. W. Curer!, the umpire, who is • captain in the "Devil's Own," spoke for the volunteers, and alluding to the sweat of the morning, mid, in all hie experience he had never esse a finer race or so fair • start For the letter they were indebted to the errangement of the Thames Coo -1 servant Board and the exertion@ of their officer, Mr. Lord. The OnaisHAN, in preparing "The University Crews," said, while it was not a pleasing Wag in itself for any man who had been • member of • university to have to lull attention to the fact that his university had for the sixth time been defeated in an object upon which it bad dearly set its heart, he had to speak on thati occasion not as • member of the University of Cambridge, but Si President of the Thames Subscription Club. They had met tecether that day to do honour to the Oxford and Cambridge crews, who had had a gallant and a glorious struggle. It was a struggle which had done as much honour to the vanquished as to the victors—(cheers)—but that very fact left the victors io pouession of the field to a more than ordinary extent. He bed seen but very little of the two crews. The first time he had set eyes upon them as crews was on that day at Barnet-bridge, when the Oxford had first established their lead, and, therefore, be was but little competent to discuss their merits during the ten days or nearly • fortnight's hard work that they had been performing in London. But he bad men sufficient of the race that day to be able to may that it was one of the closest, one of the toughest, sod one of the most gallant races that was ever rowed between those two noble universities. (Cheers.) He could not help being a little egotistical and cerr3iog his mind back to that race which, within his recollection, moat resembled the one of that day. in the year 1841 be 11;1 the honour of being a member of the Cambridge crew. (Cheers.) Three ;melon' victories in succession bad been snored to Cambridge-1836, 1839, and 1840. In 1811 the Cambridge beat the Oxford by a minute and five seconds. In 1842 be had again the hearer of being a member of the Cambridge ere sr. They had five miles and three-quarters to row in those days, which was a greater &statics than the crews of the protest day bad to row over. They started from West minster-bridge, and for a mile and a half or two miles of the course they were neck and neck, and it was not until a very considerable portion of that mune bad been passed that the Oxford crew took the lead. The Cambridge men always maid it was owing to a barge—fa laugh)—aod he suppreed there would always be something of that kind said amongst themselves. That, however, was no excuse ; but, as a tact, a barge did shoot across the Cambridge boat, the Oxford got the lead, end woo most gallantly and nobly, beating the Cambridge, in the five miles and three quarters, by two clear lengths. That race, and the ram which had been run that day resembled each other very much ; and it was a pleasing duty to be enabled to congratulate one's old ( Cambridge friends upon haring rowed a thorough good rsee—as good a race as that which was rowed when Os , ford for the first time beat Cambridge since 1829. The race of that day Lad been rowed on the pai t of Cambridge with as flue and as strong • set of oarsmen as be had ever seen upon the Thames. (Cheers.) As • bootleg man, as • Cambridge man, and as one loving rowing and desir ng is should prosper to the utmost, he trusted they would give equal honours to the president of the Oxford &eh, Mr. Brown, and to the president of the Cambridge eub, Mr. Kiaglake—(cheers)—giviog an extra cheer for the ein@ers. The call having bees respooded to with enthusiasm, Mr. Blown, in returning thanks for the Oxford crew, expressed the gratification be felt at baring lied the luck to row against one of the beat eights he had ever witnessed. (Cheers.) No one could say anything about the long or the short stroke, or make soy invidious comparisons about the style. If be were asked how it was that Oxford won, he should say that he entered upon his presidency at • very happy time, and everyone be requested to row seceded at once, whereas Mr. Kiogleke bad not had the same 'dean. (Cheers.) Bo'h the university crews were deeply t a rstted to the Thames Conservancy, whose exertions had seemed them a fair start Mr. HINGLANNIS explanation of the successive failures of Cambridge was want of style, which, however, within the last two years, had improved. He bad rowed fur five years. The first year he started level with Oxford ; but after the start he new no more of them. (Laughter.) The second year they got ahead for about 300 3 aids ; last year they got ahead as far as Chiswick church ; and this year they were first very nearly to Barnes-bridge. They led, therefore, beer progressing ; and he hoped that text year they might get to the end of the coune first. The remaining toasts included " The Rousso( Commons," proposed by Mr. PHILI.IPS, , and responded to by the CHAIN. Male • " The Chairman propose! by Mr. Alderman cad Sheriff Gummi, " The Umpues, and " The Visitors." TOTAL WRECK OF A BANQUI Iles THI CHANNEL.
