Four bishops of the protestant episcopal church Ar.erioa attended the midday service yesterday, which was the fifteenth of the series. In the procession there were 21 cleramen, and a long line of choristers. The bishops sr. ie those of Vermont, the president of the protestant episcopal church • the Bishop of Rhode Island, the Bi s h o p of North Caroli na, and the Bishop of Arkansas. The church was densely crowded, and it was with great diffi culty that the procession made its way to the altar. The Tr Deur' was sung by the clergy and choir, and the Rev. hi. Cowie, 8.D., the rector, gave notice that the sermons at the respective services en Friday (this day) would be preached as follows :—At 7 o'clock a.m., by the Rev. J. Erskine Knollye, 31. A., chaplain to the Bishop of London; at 1 o'clock p.m., by the Bishop of Grahamstown ; a t 7 p.m., by the Bish o p of Capetown, Metropolitan of South Africa. The Bishop of Rhode Island ascended the pulpit, and, without announcing any text, proceeded to give a history of the church of which he is • bishop. The Bishop of Vermont, president of the American episcopal church, dis missed the congregation with the benediction. At the t o'clock evening service the lessons were read by the Roe. Dr. A. B. Evans, rector of St. Mary-le-Strand, and the Rev. M. Cowie, B.D. The preacher was the Bishop of Rhode Island, I'oited States (the Right Rev. T. M. Chick, D.D.I, who selected for his text the 13th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, verse 31. He gave an interesting history of the early rise and progress of the Protestant Episcopd Church of the United States, and admitted that It owed its existence to the nursing care and liberality of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Pasta. B hen that ,ociety was established in 1701, there were only four clergymen in the whole of British North America; now there were 2,ri00, with between 160,000 and 200,000 communicants. He made a strong appeal on behalf of the funds of the society. The offertory collec tion"' were received by the Right Rev. Dr. Tozer, Bishop of Central Africa. The Rev. Mr. Cowie announced that the Bishop of Vermont, United States, bad undertaken to preach at the afternoon service on Saturday, and the Bishop of Montreal, Metropolitan of Canada, at the evening service.

Cloud between the Empress Char lotte and the Emperor Napoleon is absolutely con traff to truth." - - - Tito Etendard of this evening gives a denial to a rumour that negotiations are pending for the mo dification of the September Convention. Intelli gence, it says, has been received front Florence which permits the hope that the agitators will abandon their projects of invasion. The majority of this evening's journals publish comments upon a recent circular of Count Bismarck in reference to the meeting of the French and Austrian . Sovereigns at Salzburg . . . The T u nps contains an article signed by M. Neftzer, which says that the circular in reality is equivalent to a denunciation of the treaty of Prague. The Temps asks why Count Bismarck speaks with such provoking hauteur, adding " He could not have concealed from himself that this circular would create in Franca a painful and irri tating impression. He evidently desired to pro duce such an impression. Why r. The Peeve says :—" To Count Bismarck's fan faronnade there is but one answer—Dare to cross the Maine, and we shah see." NORTH GERMANY.

THE o,tes CuLLIERY. Our correspondent visited the colliery again on Wednesday, and found that Mr. Embleton, jun., and Mr. James Beaumont were in charge, and that the explorers were still engaged on the first stopping, but it was confidently ex pe cted that it would be completed to-day (Thursday.) During their opera tions the explorers have met with the cistern at the bot tom of No. 2 shaft. This cistern was used to supply the other cisterns in different parts of the mine for the use of the horses. The piping in the No. 2 shaft which supplied the first-named cistern with water is also reported to be complete, while a large quantity of wood spouting is de stroyed and lays at the bottom, impeding the progress of the explorers, while at the same time the men bare also to contend with a large amount of the rope wire in the chamber which is partly blown away, for drawing the waggons up the engine plane. It is a matter of complaint amongst the miners in the district that the body which is close to No. 2 shaft has been abandoned, but it should be remembered that it is much better to allow the body to re main a few days longer rather than run the risk of muti lating it, or jeopardising the lives of the explorers. It is impossible to say what would be the result, if the corves, by which the body is surrounded and jammed in, were removed in any way. The relatives of the miners and the public may rest assured that those in charge of the colliery are doing all that human foresight can devise. It would be most unfortunate if by any mischance further loss of life should result from any hasty measures, and it is clearly a matter of prudence and wisdom to wait with patient* until all danger is removed. On visiting the colliery in the afternoon we found that all operations hail been suspended, and the explorers had been com pelled to leave off work, a change having taken place in the atmosphere, so that the gas was too strong for them to Premed with their labours. It is rumoured that there is a probability of some change with regard to those in charge of the re-opening of the mine, and that the pro ceedings are to be placed under the direction of one engi neer altogether.—Leeds Mercury. Tel UONUESDATIONALISTA AND THE PRIVY COUNCIT GRANT . 6.—The expectation that congregational dissenter* would 110011 abandon their objectione to state grants for education is already being realised. At a meet- ' ing of leading ministers and laymen of the Blackburn dis trict of the Congregational Union a resolution was passed, with only one dissentient, recommending the churches of the denomination to avail themselves of the grants in aid of the Privy Council "until a better system could be established." It is probable this advice will be generally taken. There is small chance that a system of secular education supported by local rates will, for a long time at least, be established in England, and nonconformists are coming to the conclusion that they may consistently swept the Privy Council grants provided that government inspection is not extended to religions education. It is certain that they have been quite beaten in their efforts to carry on day schools on the purely voluntary principle. Some years ago large sums were subscribed for that object, and many schools were established, not one-tenth of which have, it is stated, been able to survive the rivalry of the church schools aided by the parliamentary grant.— Nonconformist. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. mos ma owl oositzerosrmay.l PARIS. THURSDAY EVICTING. M. de Bismarck's circular on the Salzburg inter view is a reply to that of the Marquis de Moustier, and it stands out in strong contrast to the latter document by the clear and unmistakable manner in which it declares a policy. It ironically accepts as perfectly true and candid M. de Moustier's de claration that Napoleon lll.'s only motive in going to see the Emperor of Austria was to condole with him on the death of his brother Maximilian. It re peatedly expresses the great satisfaction of Prussia at this declaration, because it is one exemaively diffi cult to get the public to believe ; and because, if the two sovereigns had presumed to talk about the affairs of Germany, and to act upon any resolutions to interfere in any way whatever in their settle ment, there would have been a unanimous deter mination to resist them in Fatherland. As things happily stand, M. de Bismarck plainly tells the French Emperor that they shall be very good friends as long as he minds his own business ; but that, whether Prussia, by an arrangement with her allies, the southern states of Germany, shall extend her influence south of the Main or not is no business of his, and that he n ill not be heard to put a construction upon the treaty of Prague. There is nothing substantially new in this. Every politician in Europe knew before that this was Prussia's irrevocable determination. The only novelty is the diplomatic form in which this reso lution is now, not for the first time, promulgated. Rouher well knew all this when he talked the other day at Nantes of a lasting peace. If the Emperor has really made up his mind not to in terfere with Germany, he would do incalculable service to his country by plainly saying so, and by backing up his words by a reduction of his army. M. Rouher's words are of no use at all, as the state of the Bourse and the paralysed state of trade too plainly show. At the Bourse M. de Bismarck's circular pro voked sales in the Bente, which lost the turning point of 69fr. and closed, for account, at 6fifr. 90c., with a fall of 10c. Credit Mobilise went down to 227 fr. 50e., but recovered at the close to 232 fr. 20c., with a fall of but 3fr. 75c. from the lowest point of yesterday's depression. It seems to be yet doubtful whether the assistance of the Bank of France, even to the limited extent pro mised, will be made available. A hitch is said to have occurred in consequence of the Mobilier directors hesitating at the last moment to pledge their private fortunes efficaciously to the extent that the Bank directors require. M. Mires, in the Prase, and other journalists, write eloquent articles, showing that Messrs. Pereira and Co are in honour bound to bring forward their last franc for the protection of their share holders. This is all very fine, but when it comes to a matter of almost unheard-of millions, the pre sumption is that the Mobilier directors will keep whatever they are legally entitled to. As to their legal liabilities, there is considerable doubt. Ac cording to a recent decision of the Appeal Court of Metz, their responsibility would be very deeply engaged ; but this decision is said to be at variance with another of the Court of Cassation. M. Mires estimates the private fortune of the Messrs. Pereiro at 120 millions of francs, and of course it is not credible that they will allow that enormous sum to be made ducks and drakes of for the benefit of the unfortunate Credit Mobilier shareholders from sentimental considerations. Another reason assigned for the assumed rupture of the negotiations between the Credit Mobilier and the Bank of France is that the latter insists upon an inspection and a winding up. This arrangement would have such a terrible re semblance to a bankruptcy that the Mobilier directors cannot make up their minds to come into it.

A considerable commotion was lately excited in the neighbourhood of the Pyrenees by the following anecdote published by the Echo Rochellais, concerning the French expedition to China: "It was at the siege of Canton. A petty fort disquieted the allies, and Admiral Rigault de Genouilly said to an English officer, Colonel Murray, who had WO men under his command, ' Can you not seize that position r Impos sible,' replied the colonel, after examining the fort for a minute or two—' I have not a sufficient number of men.' The admiral turned to the spot where the French marine infantry were placed, and addressing Sergeant-Major Martin des Pailleres, in that mocking nasal tone he is known for, ' Des Pailleres,' he said, take 50 men and drive me out these baboons.' Ten minutes afterwards the tricoloured flag was waving over the fort." This extraordinary narrative, attributing cowardice to an I English colonel at the head of an English regiment, came Bpainfully to the minds of the natives and friends of Great ritain in the south and south-west of France, where the journal in question circulates, and the feeling was increased when the amine article was reproduced by the hi: utopia! des Pyr,'nees, published at Pau. At last Count Russell- Killough, of that town, well known for a book of travels which he gave to the world some years back, took the mat ter up, and succeeded in proving that the anecdote had no foundation, as will be seen from the following letters, which have appeared in the Memorial des Pyrenees: " Pau, Sept. 2. " reckon on your impartiality to insert in your next number the subjoined letter from his Ex cellency Admiral Rigault do Genouilly, giving • most formal denial to statements made by the Erho Rochellais in good faith, no doubt, but which cannot but deeply wound all the subjects of the Queen of England. As you copied into your journal the article in question, I am sure in advance that you will give the same publicity to the denial which the admiral has not for an instant hesitated to forward to me, with a frankness which does honour to his noble character.—Receive, " COUNT RUSSELIACILLOVOII." The communication from the admiral runs thus : " La Rochelle, August 214. " Monsieur le Comte,—On receipt of your letter, the Admire!, Minister of Marine, immediately ordered me to search for the number of the Echo Itorheilms, in which the article you allude to was given. That journal having only been delivered to me today, the reply to your letter has undergone some delay; it will, however, be very explicit, as the admiral charges me to say to you that he never gave Colonel Murray the order mentioned, and that the whole anecdote is a pure inven tion. His excellency adds that during his command in China, he bad only reason to congratulate himself on the co-operation of General Straubensee and of the troops placed under that officer's orders, as well as on the relations with Rear-Admiral Seymour and his officers. — Receive Monsieur le Compte, &c., (Signature illegible.) " Captain, Aide-de-Camp to the Minister of Marine." Mr. Bright is now on a visit to Mr. Caird, at his residence in Creetown. The chief magistrates of the burghs in the vicinity dined with him on Tuesday evening. Provost Turner presented him with an influentially signed address, inviting him to a soiree or public meeting in Dum fries, at • period that will suit his convenience. REPRESENTATION OF TAVISTOCR. —Mr. J. D'A. Samuda, 31. P., has written to the electors of Tavistock, thanking them for the kindness he has received at their hands hitherto, and announcing that he has accepted a requisition from four thousand influential electors of the Tower Hamlets to stand for that borough at the next general election. Tavistock is one of the borouT,hs which will lose one of their members under the new Reform Bill, and Mr. Samuda is unwilling to divide the liberal interest in that borough by a contest with Mr. Arthur Rumen. THE FENIAN OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY E'VENTNC. No further violence is reported to-day, nor is any out break apprehended. Nearly thirty prisoners have been apprehended as the result of the chase last night and the search in those districts where Fenian sympathisers are known to resort. The whole of the prisoners were examined before the magistrates this afternoon merely to be identified as having been seen engaged in the attack, and they were at once remanded for a week. They are lodged at the central police station under a guard of fifty of the 57th Foot, commanded by Captain Halsted. An escort of the Bth Hussars accompanied the prisoners when they were removed from the lock-ups to the police-court and back again, a distance of about 200 yards. The streets were much thronged with lookers-on, who at tempted no disorder. The following are the names of the prisoners captured, and the charges against them: —For wilful murder : Wil liam O'Meara Allen and Michael Larkin. For riot and murder :—William Martin, clerk, aged 35 •; William Gould, clerk, 30 ; Louis Moore, joiner, SG; Patrick Hogan, labourer, 26 ; John Carrel, labourer, 23; Charles , MOOT house clerk, 22; John Gleeson, labourer, 42 ; Patrick Barregan, labourer, 49 ; Henry Wilson, clothes dealer, 28, at whose house Kelly and Deasy were first appre hended ; Michael Joseph Boylend, schoolmaster, 37 ; William Wells, labourer, 29 ; Michael Corooran labourer, 29 ; Edward Shore alias Short, traveller, 26 ; John Butler, weaver, 54; Patrick Cloney, scavenger, 69 ; Patrick Kelly, labourer, Plt; Michael M'Ottire, clothes dealer, Smithfield Market, 32; Patrick Daley, tailor, 36 ; Wi ll iam Luther, striker, 19 ; James Woods, heckle r, *2 - 2. The two Fenian leaders are still at large. - - - - - An exciting scene took place this morning at the A Division police station, on the occasion of the prisoners being placed in line for identification. A great crowd of people blocked Albert-street, and manifested an intense eagerness to secure a good stand-point whence they could view the probable removal of the prisoners to the city court. In the rear of the station the military were dr►wn up in line, each man having 20 rounds of ammunition. The prisoners were arrayed along the main corridor, and as witnme after witness passed up and down the line, the ex. premien on the prisoners' countenances showed in most cases that the men had something like the " courage of despair." Occasionally some of the witnesses would have to repeat their walk up and down more than one*. Not a word was spoken during each single progress. The several witnesses, after the inspections, communicated their know ledge to a sergeant in c ha rge. Charles Thomas, a plumber and glazier, identified Allen, Larkin, and two others. He had observed them before, during, and after the affray. Before the attack he was watching them from over a wall, standing on a dog.kennel. He saw one of them run from the Hyde-road Hotel and give the word to the others, and immediately afterwards the van came in sigbt. Two of the men, whom he is able to identify, he saw drawing a revolver each, and they ap peared so deliberate that be said to a neighbour, " Good Ood, these men are going to fight a duel." He observed Allen, who was dressed in a light coat, with • pistol in each band, and when he was not firing he was hammering away at the van. He saw him fire the shot into the van. Edwin Walton, a japariner, in Mr. Port's employ, An. coats, besides ob serving Allen, gave much of his atten tion to another man, who appeared to be an officer of the ;sag. He was well dressed, wore a hat, and the lappels of his coat were bordered with worked Bilk. He also had a light moustache. After the rescue this witness joined in the pursuit, and while others chased Allen he went after the well-dressed man. He came up with him at the wall near Ashton-road, and helped to capture him. He also identified three others. Junes Mayer a barman, identiEed Allen and two others. When Sergeant come headlong out of the van, Allen, who had been a little distance exchanging his discharged revolver for a fresh one, rushed to the front, and swore he *fluid shoot anybody dead who came near. After the flight the witness followed theta. Kelly and Deasey were in handcuffs. When they got to a wall, Allen jumped up, and got hold of Kelly's arms to pull him after him, while some men below hoisted him at the same time. The other officer tried to help one of the other men over in the same way, but ho could not, and he ran away. This other man was captured. William Hughes, a locomotive fitter, in the employ of 4oyer and Peacock, identified six of them. He saw Allen lie three times while the constables were kept at bay. Oneof his shots took effect in Prowsen's heel, who cried, "My God, I'm shot !" He also saw the other officer, the man with the lappelled coat. He noticed, while they were waiting for the van to come up, this man seemed to be receiving news and giving orders. Thomas Sperry, in the employ of the Midland Railway Company, identified three as the men he saw running across the line, pursued and pelted by some platelayers. He did not know what had occurred at the time, but, as be said, the platelayers " were making it so hot for them" that he could not help noticing it. - - - - - John Hayes, master brickburner, was in hie croft during the nadir. He saw the whole affair. Two of the men whom ho now identified were trying to turn the horses' heads towards Manchester, and as they plunged a good deal one of the men fired his revolver into the animal's nostrils, and then b ,th of the men tried to pull the brute on his haunches. Allen at this time was keeping guard, daring the crowd to interfere. After Allen had fired severalsbots, witness saw him go to a man on the other side of the arch and change pistols. Two other men, whom the wittier identified, took a leading part. One of them, cautioning his comrades, said, " Don't shoot, or you'll hit Allen." (At this time Allen was in the van.) Larkin seemed to be taking charge of Desaey in the same way Allen was attend ing to Kelly. Witness followed the crowd as far u Ber wick, and was present when Allen was captured. Allen had then twenty rounds of cartridge for breech-loaders, but had been so hard pressed that he had no time to load. A Court of Common Council was held yesterday a* Guildhall, thia being the first after the vacation ; the Lord Mayor presided. _ . - . THE DINNER QuairrioN.—Last night a public meetin", convened under the auspices of the Working men's Club and Institute Union, was held at the hall of die Clerkenwell Club, 46, Lower Rosonian-street, Clerken. well, to consider the propriety of establishing co-operative dining-rooms in the metropolis. Mr. Hamilton Hoare occupied the chair. He said the contemplated movement would be obviously for the advantage of the people, whom it was intended to benefit, and the only difficulty in con nexi' n with it was with regard to the carrying out of the details. The chairmen then introduced Mr. Pattiaon, of the Working Men's Club and Institute Union, who, after remarking that he had long felt the waste of health, time, and money, on the part of clerks, working-men, and others, accustomed to dine at refreshment houses, occasioned by badly served and high-priced dinners, pro c eded to explain how, in his opinion, the evil coUld be remedied. He raid that a central association could be formed to purchase provisions at the lowest possible rate, and that in any locality • number of persona might hire a house for dining and club pur poses. A good dinner of meat and vegetables could be served for Ird., and no gratuity need be paid to the waiters. ?he cost of the dinner would be made up of the following items, meat 4,1., potatoes Id., vegetables 2d., service and ether expenses 24. A resolution to the effect that it was advisable to establish dining rooms on the co-operative principle was then put, and evoked a long discussion, some of those present expressing themselves against associating the movement in any way with the Working men's Club and Institute Union. A gentleman who said he attended in consequence of what be had seen in the papers on the subject of City dinners, but who did not wish his name to be given to the public, stated he bad concluded the purchase of two buildings, one within ten minutes' walk of the Bank of England, and the other in the vicinity of the new law courts, in which accommodation for dining purposes would be afforded on an extended scale. He had also secured the leasehold of land on the Brighton and South Eastern Railways, on which it was in tended to erect two homes for young men engaged in the City. The resolution was ultimately adopted, and the proceedings terminated. - - - - - • • - - /sumo APTlTunn.—The claim of the African to equal mental capacity with the European is illustrated, against the Hunts and Cravrfurds at Dundee, by the emir of young James Solomon, a pure negro, who has taken • first-class second division certificate in the Oxford Middle class Examination, and means to matriculate in the Lon don University at Christmas.

As UNHAPPY SHOT.—In the fall and winter of 186)-6, the 50th Wisconsin Regiment, while on the way from Fort Kendall. which they had been garrisoning, to Fort Rice, camped one night at Crow Creek. While in camp one of the captains spied what he took to be an Indian on the brow of • hill about half a mile distant. The captain called out to one of his men, and pointing out to him the person on the bill, said, " Do you suppose you can pick that fellow o ff ?" when the soldier answered. " I'll try," and, drawing up his rifle, he fired, and the man fell down dead. On repairing to the spos where the dead man lay, they found, to their inexpressible asto nishment and mortification, that the man shot was • brother of the captain who ordered the firing. Language would fail to express the grief of the captain at what had been done. The soldier was arrested and brought down to Yankton on • charge of murder, but the grand Or, at the October term of 1865, having failed to find an indict. meat spinet him, he was releamod.—Ner York paper. THE CHANCELLOR OP THE EXCHEQUER AT RUOHENDZS. The harvest home of the pariah and manor of Hughenden was celebrated yesterday by a thanksgiving I service in the parish church, and by a dinner and dance in Hughenden-park in the afternoon. The fineness of the day drew together • considerable number of visitors as well as farm labourers and their employers, but an additional attraction was the presence of the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had announced his intention of presiding at the dinner. At the thanksgiving service in the morning, prayers were read by the Rev. C. W. Clubbe, vicar of Hughenden, and an appropriate sermon was subsequently preached by the Rev. C. Lloyd, rector of Chalfont, and chaplain to the Bishop of Oxford. After service dinner was served up to the visitors, farm labourers, and their employers, in a tent which had been specially erected for the purpose in Hughenden-park, fronting Mr. Disraeli's seat, and commanding a magnifi cent view of the country around Hughenden and High Wycombe. In addition to the Chancellor of the Exche quer, who presided, there were present Mrs. Disraeli, the Rev. C. Lloyd, the Rev. Dr. Lee, Sir C. Y. Young, the Rev. C. W. Clubbe, the Rev. J. Graves, Messrs. J. New man, T. S. Chapman, Coates, Hussey, Sc. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given, the health of the bishop and clergy of the diocese was re sponded to by The Rev. C. LLOYD, who proposed the health of the Chancellor of the Exchequer—" The Squire of Hugh enden." He presumed that politics were barred at such gatherings as this, and therefore he would not say much about them, but perhaps he might be permitted to say this, that when a man had taken upon himself to extend the franchise of the country as hU right hon. friend had done, he bad, in taking this step of gathering together the people of his parish, done one of the best things that could possibly be devised as s safeguard to the step which he had taken in parliament. When the aristocracy, the gentry, the farmers, and the peasantry of the country came together, and instead of finding themselves antagonistic, found themselves united together with common tastes and common sympathies, then they would pull together for the common good. That in his opinion was the way to induce men whom they entrusted with great powers to make use of those powers for the benefit of themselves and of the country at large. He was therefore of opinion that such things as harvest homes were real safeguards. They had baud a great deal on • late occasion of safe =is; but he thought that when they made • man a d, they would never be afraid of trusting him with a weapon. So long as he war looked upon as au enemy, it might be desirable to have some kind of guard against hint. He thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer had supplemented the franchise which he had carried through parliament in the most admirable manner by calling his tenantry together at the harvest home in Hughenden. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. The CiiseclLLoß of the ExcHeulEß, in rising to respond to the toast, was received with much sheering. He said—l am extremely sensible for your kindness in drinking my health to-day,and for the manner in which you have received it. lam not quite up to poli tic in the month of September, and therefore you will excuse my not dilating on the theme which my excellent friend the Rector of Chalfont has so delicately alluded to. (Laughter.) I have no doubt that his opinions are per fectly sound, but cn the present occasion I will merely say that nothing gratifies we more than presiding at the har vest home of Hughenden. (Cheers.) On the present occasion I am the more gratified because I think I can congratulate all around me upon the re sults of this harvest. At the present, as there always is, there is a very great controversy going on am to the character and result of the general, harvest of the world—not merely of England, not merely of Europe, not merely of America—but we bear contrary accounts and conflicting calculations on that all-important subject. On the present occasion lam satisfied with the limited horizon in which we live, and I think I can say this without exaggeration, that when we met in church this morning to return thanks to the Giver of all good, we might sincerely return thanks for a moat 'statu tory and plenteous harvest in the parish of Hughenden. (Cheers.) Whatever may be the amounts that may reach us from other quarters—whatever may be the criticisms which others may have arrived at, I think there is no doubt that in the pariah of Hughenden we ought to be content with the ingathering which we have just accomplished. With regard to our wheat harvest, I think from experiments which have been made even in our wheat harvest, of which in other places we have heard such contrary amounts, that we have realised an average. As regards our barley, it has that bright ness which brewers love—(laughter)—and as for our eats, rarely have I seen such a prolific and golden ingathering. (Cheers.) Well, then, these are very great re.ults under all circumstances, and alone would constitute a good bar. vest, but when I look around me I remember and observe that these results have been obtained in these varieties of grain in a district where the root crops are equally dis tinguished. Nor ought we to tenet, my friends, at this moment that this satisfactory and prolific harvest has fol lowed one of the finest hay harvests that can be remembered on the Chiltern-hill,—so gnat and plentiful that seen the aftermath will exhibit almost as fertile a condition as our pastures have in less favoured year. in the month of June. (Cheers.) Well, then, my friends, I think we have a right to he satisfied, and we ought to be grateful for the harvest we have just in-gathered in this district and parish. At this moment lam speaking only of this parish, with whose interests I am so intimately connected. and with whose feelings I so deeply sympathise. lint I think, as far as I can take an impartial survey of our rural world, there are other things in this parish of not less importance upon which we may equally con gratulate ourselves. In the first place, it is • matter of great satisfaction that at this moment in the parish of Hughenden there is no able-bodied labourer who is not employed at good wages. (Cheers.) We are indebted, no doubt, for this result to the happy circum stance in some degree of that runt manufacture, and the prosperity of that rural manufacture, which convert, the raw material of our beechen woods into the convenient form of chairs for the accommodation not only of England, but even of the colonies and foreign parte. But I an, glad to say that we are indebted for that satisfactory result to another and not less efficient cause, and that is, the highly improved husbandry of this district and this parish. (Cheers.) It is on amount of the skilful rotation of crops ; it is on account of the various and often costly manner in which our lands are now dressed, and the great head of stock that is now maintained on the farms of this parish, that that result of the population being well em ployed and employ slat high and satisfactory wages, is equally at least to be ascribed. And these are very satisfactory results. (Cheers.) Well, then, there is another circum stance in our rural life in this parish in which I think we may find congratulation, and it refers to • subject which I have more than once brought under your consideration, and that is the dwellings of those to whom we are pecu liarly indebted for the labour which cultivates our fields and gathers in our crops. There has been for same time a continuous improvement, I am glad to say, in the resi dences of the peasantry—of the labourers on the soil of this parish. (Cheers-) Some time so I mentioned this subject, and, indeed, more than once I have dwelt upou it in your presence. These are legitimate and proper occa sions on which we ought to touch upon these sub jects. lam myself very much in favour of build tog new cottages for the labouring population, but at the same time I know that that is a process which can only he very gradually carried out. I won't enter into any controversy upon that subject, because this is not a moment fur controversy, further than to repeat what I have often said, that those take a very limited and too contracted view of the case who, in building cottages fur the labouring population, look only to the immediate re turn in the shape of rent. There is an immediate return far more valuable than rent, which is to be acquired by giving the labouring population dwellings which conduce to their health, to their strength, and to their happiness. (Cheers.) But I would make this remark, because it is one essentially practical and applicable to this parish, that you may do a great deal to improve the dwell ings and increase the comfort of the labouring class without absolutely building new cottage.. You may im prove those that exist. (Cheers.) Now, I believe there are three things which a labourer in the Chiltern Hills most desires, the first is a porch, the second an oven, and the third is a tank. I have for some time been extremely anxious that every labouring man on my estate should have these three sources of comfort and happiness —a porch, an oven, sod • tank, and I ant very glad to see that the example I have set is spreading, and I hope when we hold our next harvest home that we thall find that it is • custom of very general adoption. (Cheers.) But whether I look to our harvest or whether I look to the general con dition of those who are mainly associated in it, ingathering I think I can congratulate the proprietors, the cultivators, the fanners, the occupiers, and the labourers of this pe rish on its general prosperity ; and I am sure, from whet I have seen this morning, that I am addressing a society d w eep ho ly in gra th t e e "' ful theion of Giverthseoefallgrgeosodnt advantages, esatove are mwe are indebted for these blessings. (Cheers.) I trust that the prosperity of Hughenden may long continue. It is founded on sound principles, and, under the blessing of Providence, ought not to be subject. or at least ought to be superior, to most of the vicissitudes that interfere with human occupation. I am obliged to you very sincerely for drinking my health on an occasion like the present. Your kind feelings I greatly appreciate and your good opinion will Away s be my best reward I thank you heartily. The right hon. geutleman resumed his seat amid great cheering. At this stage of the proceedings* figure representing the goddess Ceres was brought into the tent by some of the farm children and presented to Mr. Disraeli, by whom it was exhibited to the company. The goddess wore • blue robe, and her bead was composed of ears of oats, while barley and wheat did duty for her arms and feet. The CHAIRMAN, in giving the next toast, said—l was for a moment a little dashed and daunted, for I feared that one of the most ancient customs of England had been for gotten on this occasion. I believe that I bold in my hand • representation of the goddess Ceres. For centuries this figure, thus dressed up, or in robes of similar manufacture, has been brought forward. She is represented on this occasion mainly by that golden harvest of oats, for which in this parish we are particularly gratefuL I need not say that this reminds me—for my mind is full of the subject—of those who per haps are more interested in the success of the harvest than even other classes intimately connected with it. We are in this parish favoured, I believe, with the presence of • body of farmers who, take them altogether, may equal, I believe, perhaps more than equal, those of any parish in the county of Buckingham. It is not merely that they are skilful farmers, and bring to the cultivation of the soil a knowledge of the country and of all those artificial ad juncts which develop its qualities, but they are men who are sensible of their social duties as farmers and as the great tillers of the mil. They look upon their occupation not merely as one of a commercial cha racter, but they remember and they fulfil their duties to those who are dependent on them. Indeed I have gene rally found that the skilful farmer is • man who most ap preciates the good qualities of the labouring man under him. He knows the value of such • character, and he is the person who is always found the best master. I most congratulate the farmers of Hugbenden on their great suc cess and prosperity this year, and I now propose that you drink their health., and 1 trust that they may have many and happy returns of seasons like the present. (Cheers.) Mr. COATES, a tenant farmer, briefly responded. The CHAIHIIAX-1 now propose to you the health of another order in the agricultural hierarchy, inferior in im portance and utility to none of these whose health' have already been drunk. His the health of those to whom we are peculiarly indebted for the ingathering of the crop, and for the preceding process of agriculture which has brought about that result. So far as I can form an opinion of my neighbours—and I am happy to say I live when I au, here much among them—the labouring clam In this parish is one of which we may be proud. They are skilful husband men, and they are influenced generally speaking by •• great sense of duty. In proposing the health of th e labourers I should like to connect with the toast the name of one who has been long working oe my own estate, and in the occu pation of a tenement of mine, who I think represents in his own person many of the best qualities of the English hus bandman, and that is, Hatt, who I believe is now working with Mr. James Leigh. In drinking the health of the labourers of Hughenden perish, I shall connect with the toast the name of Hatt, who has long worked on the soil, and who has always been a model of what • skilful, inde pendent, and excellent husbandman ought to be. (Cheers.) Mr. Harr, • venerable farm labourer, briefly responded. The Rev. C. W. CLUBBE next gave the health of Mrs. Disraeli, which was drunk with enthusiasm. The Rev. C. LLOII.I briefly acknowledged the toast on behalf of Mrs. Disraeli. The CHAIRMAN—My friend, Mr. Lloyd, in proposing m health a short time ago, made some public allusions which I did not at the moment encourage, but I may say this now, that certainly something did happen this year which made me make a great many speeches in another place. (Laughter.) But I believe that on no occasion, such is the natural moderation I hops of my nature, did I ever make so many speeches in one day as I have on this occasion. (Laughter.) I thought, therefore, when the hut toast was proposed that if the grateful feelings of my wife were ex pressed by the rector of Chalfont, it might spare your hearing my voice again. That is the only reason which prevented me from expressing my delight at the manner in which you received the health of one whom I may be permitted to say, without wishing to offend anybody pre sent, is the best wife that ever lived. (Hear.) But I find there is another toast that ought to be given, and which I give with great sincerity, and that is "The visitors who have honoured us with their presence today." The toast was responded to by the Rev. Mr. Graves, and the proceedings at the dinner were brought to a close. The rest of the afternoon was spent in a dance upon the lawn fronting liughenden Manor. OVERCROWDING STEAMERS. The following official reply has been given to a complaint forwarded to the Board of Trade by an aggrieved passenger: " Baird of Trade, Whitehall, Sept. IR. " Sir,—l am directed by the Board of Trade to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th inst., addressed to the President . calling attention to an alleged case of overcrowding on board the Albert Victor, a steamer usually employed in carrying passengers between London and blargate and Itamsgate. It appears from a newspaper extract (which you have enclosed), purporting to be a letter written by the chief steward of the Albert Victor that the vessel had on board nearly 1.000 pawners on the occasion of e. recent excur sion to Boulogne. You add that you raise the question, as this system of overcrowding might, iu the event of acci dent, lead to great loss of life. In reply to your letter I have to state that under the fourth part of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, the owner of every steam vessel car rying any person other then the master and crew, and the owner, his family, and servants, to, from, or be tweets any place or places in the United King dom, is required to bare his vessel surveyed by surveyors appointed by the board for the pur pose. The surveyors give declarations of survey it they are satisfied that the hull and boilers and machinery of the vessel are in good condition, and will for the MA months following their survey be sufficient for the service intended. The surveyor's declarations are forwarded to the Board of Trade, by whom a passenger certificate ie issued. This certificate, which contains among other things& statement of tl.e number of passengers that the vessel is in the sur veyor's judgment tit to carry, is required by the act to be posted in SODA conspicuous place where it au be seen by all persons on board the vessel. If any pas senger steamer carries passengers in excess of the num ber stated in her certificate, or if she . proceeds to sea wits passengers on any voyage or excursion without having a valid certificate posted up in a conspicuous place on board, or if, having a certificate applicable to any voyage or excursion, she goes beyond the limits stated in thet cer tificate, the owner and master become liable to the penalties named in the act. arcs. 318 and :119. I am, however, to inform you that the duties intrusted to the Board of Trade by the legislature end when the passenger certificate is issued. The Baird of Trade are not a police department, and have neither the numro nor the authority to prevent overcrowding in paesenger steamships. If the police or other local authorities. or hoards having local jurisdiction, or any pee on aggrieved by the overcrowding of a passenger steamer, think it necessary or desirable, for safety of the public or fur his own protection, that the penalties for overcrowding should be enforced, is rests with them or him to institute proceedings for the recovery of the penalties incurred. As regards the Albert Victor, she is in posseash n of two certificates, one authorising her to carry 815 passengers between London and Margate, and the other authorising her to carry 491 passengers between London and Rsinagate and Dover, or between Dover and Boulogne. If she had nearly 1,000 passengers on board on a voyage to Boulogne on the occasion referred to in the steward's letter the owner and master have infringed the law, and are liable, hesi.les other penalties, to • penalty for every person on hoard over and above the number 491 allowed by this board's certificate. The Board of Trade have thought it right to explain the case fully to you. They have also written to the Home office on the subject of overcrowding on the Thames, and to the local baud/ of health at Margate and Resonate on the subject of the overcrowding steam vessels plying to Margate and Ramsgate from the port of London.—l am, &a., " THOMAIS GRAY."

WORKINti MEN'S LORD'S DAY RUsT ASROCIA TD.N.—eM Wednesday evening a public meeting to further the object of this ansociation sras held in the National School-mom, High-street, Peckham, under the presidency of the Rev. John Allen, the incumbent, who, in opening the meeting, said that be cordially supported the move ment. The Sabbath was a day on which we could hold intercourse with our fellow-man and our Creator. Mr. Pricer moved, "That this meeting, believing that one day's rest in seven is essential to man's physical, social. and moral welfare, cordially approves of the object of the Working Men's Lord's Day Rest Association."
