Mr. Johnson again calls the attention of Congress to the continued disorganization of the country under the various laws on the subject of reconstruc tion, which, after three years' trial, have failed, and proved pernicious in their results. He adds:— " Three States are still denied representation in Commun, contrary to the orspikit terms of the sonelitutioa. The attempt to place the white population of the South under the domination of negroes has impaired the kindly rela tions previously misting, and prevented the sucomeful co operation of the two races in industrial enterprises. Legis lation producing such baneful moults should be abrogated. One hundred million dollars are annually expended for a military force white is principally used in enforcing these unnecessary and unconstitutional law,. Our commerce has diminished and our industrial interests are languish ing, and only wise legislation and retrenchment can remedy these evils. • • ePeiert het at Paettantent.

The chair was taken by M.Grevy, having on his right Mr. Huddleston, Q.C. M. Grin , proposed the health of the foreign banisters. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., replied, and said :—" The bar of England and the bar of France are brothers. The bar has shown that it is a grand school of civic virtue, and the road to right and liberty." In conclusion, Mr. Hud dleston expressed a hope that the two bars, even as the two peoples, would remain the first in honour and in fame. (Enthusiastic applause.) ANOTHER ERITPT/ON OF MOUNT ETNA_ VALETTA, Dac. 9. Telegrams received here report that the violent eruption of Mount Etna, which occurred on the 28th of November last, had gradually subsided until the night of December 8, when at 8 o'clock it broke out afresh with increased violence, and lasted until 5 o'clock this morning, vomiting flames and lava to an enormous height. The lava falling flowed in every direction, devastating the surrounding country. Rand fell on Aci Reale, and even Messina. To-day the eruption is less active, but deafening detonations continue, and the smoke prevents the tracing of the course of the lava. Throughout the past night crowds assembled at Malta, although distant 120 miles, to witness this magnificent spectacle. CATANIA, Dar. 9. Last night the eruption of Mount Etna recom menced on a very large scale. Stones and in candescent matter were projected to a great height. This morning the lava is flowing in an easterly direction. SPAIN. THE INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENT IN CADIZ. MADRID, DEC. 9. The Gazette publishes some interesting details from Cadiz, dated last night. At fl p.m. the insur gents occupied the Hotel do Ville and the surround ing houses,w here they formed barricades. The troops occupied the Custom-house and neighbourhood as far as the gate, and the consuls had taken refuge in the Custom-house. The insurgents allowed the women and children to depart, but forced all able-bodied men to stay and fi ght for them. The civil governor of Cadiz took refuge at San Fer nando. A telegraphic message has arrived stating that the convicts and the former rural guard bad taken part with the insurgents. But from San Fernando it is telegraphed that the movement is reactionary, with the name and ele ments of republicanism, to judge by the amount of money which circulates among the insurgents. The civil governor of Tarragona telegraphs that he had received information that the republicans intended to attempt to release and arm the convicts, but fitting precautions to prevent this had been tukeu. THE PRUSSIAN DIET. BERLIN, Dm 0, ETENINO. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies a reLolution was adopted requesting the vern nunt to take steps for causing the Prussian Ministry for Foreign Affairs to be amalgamated Ly the year 1870 with a concentrated Foreign office for the North German Confederation. During the debate Count Bismarck said—" Con fidential negotiations with our federal allies have convinced me that we shall be able to lay the necessary bill on this subject before the North German Parliament at its next mooting." TROSECUTIONOPPIDPBBBOR LEA LD BY THB PBUSSIAN In the autumn of last year the famous Pro fessor Ewald was deprived of his office in the HE/Hinges University, on the ground of his being nimble to take the oath of allegiance to the Prussian gevernment, while, at the sense time, liberty was granted him to oontinue his lectures. But • few weeks ago be received • govern ment order to discontinue his lectures, on the ground of • pamphlet which he had published in praise of the Hano verian king and people, and sharply criticising the Prussian government. This pamphlet, entitled, " Lob des Kunio rind des Voiles," is already in the second edition. It hap been widely read, and it is well known that • large num l•er of people of all classes and in all positions have groat sympathy with the feeling so eloquently expressed in it. Accordingly, • charge of treason against the Prussian government has been laid against the famous professor. He will be tried on this charge within • few days, and it is not impossible that the end may be hies imprisonment. Not only will the learned world of Europe watch ansicurdy this trial, the people of the land recently annexed to Prussia have a deep interest in both the man and the matter. The lbsenetel condition of the country clearly indicates the nearmity of withdrawing the paper stoney, and of retaining to specie payments at the earliest possible The total mei* /rim the mime, intoned revenge, and other sources far the fiscal year aiding the 30th of last June, were 406,000,000 dollars, thus reducing the public debt by 28,000,000 dollen ; but for the year ending the Id November, 108111, the debt shows an increase of 36,600,000 dollars. The intimated receipts for the fiscal year ending June 80,1060, are 341,000,000 dollar., and the (*basted expenditure 386,000,000 dollars, but the expen diture for the War Departosent during the past three years has exceeded the estimate by 176,000,000 dollars. The army is now reduced to 48,000 men of all arms, and the Secretary of the War Department believes a further reduction of the infantry practicable. The naval forte is now reduced to 206 vessels, mounting 7,040 guns. Mr. Johnson cordially approves the policy of Congress towards the Indians. With regard to foreign countries he says :—" Our foreign relations are generally satis factory. No particular regulations concerning the colonial trade and the fisheries can be accomplished until Congress expresses its judgment on the principles in volved. Other questions, however, are open for adjust ment between the United States and Great Britain. These relate to the rights of naturalised the title to the Island of San Juan, awl the claims of citiien subjects of both countries arising out of the late war. The negotiations upon these subjects are pending, and I am not without hope of being able to lay before the Senate during the present session protocols calculated to bring to an end these justly excited and long existing onntrovenees. The Paraguayan difficulties are undergoing inveetigit tion. M•Mabon will be fully sustained by a naval force in demanding explanations and redress from the Paraguayan government. The government of the Sandwich Islands is continually disturbed by apprehen sions of unfriendly political proceedings on the part of the United States. The Reciprocity Treaty lately con cluded will restore eonlidence until the people of those islands, at no distant day, shall voluntarily apply for admission to the Union. Our relations with Mexico are marked by an increasing degree of mutual confidence. Explanations and satisfaction have been demanded of the President of Hayti for the injuries sustain'," by Ame rican citisens. The policy adopted by the administration in maintain ing strict neutrality between the belligerents in Japan has been frankly and fully sustained by the enlightened etnenrrenee of Great Britain. France, and other coun tries President Johnson recommends an amendment to the constitution, which would provide for the election of the Provident and ornately by the people direct, and also the limitation of the terms of office of the Federal fudges. The Message concludes with expressing • fervent hope that Providence will inspire Congrese with wisdom and reverence for the constitution, and grant • speedy return of happiness and prosperity to the whole country. THE EXECUTIONS IN ROME. FLORENCE, Dsc. 5. I cannot help thinking that the state of public feeling in Italy created by the execution of Monti and Tognetti is not sufficiently appreciated in other countries, and that the real facts of the case have not received, even from those journalists best disposed towards the interests of the Italian people, that calm and impartial consideration which they may fairly claim. The political, and, if I may so term them, even more, the humane demon strations now making in all Italy against the Papal government for the execution of the two men, are acquiring every day greater importance. They are certainly much more iluportunt than the Baudin demonstrations in Paris, and for the time they overshadow all other events. One has only to glance at the articles in the provincial and popular newspapers, at the subscription hats published in the same, and at the letters, generally short but sufficiently energetic in tone, in which the proceedings of the Pontiff are emphatically stigmatised. Take, for example, such an article as the following, which appears in the Genoese paper, the Rinnovamento, of the day before yesterday—l quote it on account of its tone, not that I by any means subscribe to the historical deductions which the writer has placed in sue cession :—" Jesus dies and liberates mankind from darkness, and then darkness again gathers over the throne of the Pontiffs, who are drunken with their temporal authority, but now the death of Tognetti and Monti will cause these clouds to disappear, and the true light of Christ will shine fort h and shed peace over the whole of Italy." Small subscriptions are accompanied by letters such as the following : " I send my mite as a protest against him who calls himself the Vicar of Christ, and who, whilst perpetrating deeds of blood, dares to invoke that till red name." Or again, "As a protest against the execrable act of veng eance perpetrated by the assassin ' Pope-King.' " One often hears accounts of ecnversations that have taken place at Rome beweeii the Pontiff and the foreigners admitted to an audience by his Holiness, in which the Pope is always represented as saying that the hostility to his government is only the work of a few revolutionists. If it were possible by any process to furnish a corrective to the deep rooted prejudices of en aged priest, that corrective might best be found in the perusal of the many hundred of journals published in the peninsula during the last fortnight—for the deep and unani mous chorus of indignation which they pour forth would suffice to convince even the most incredulous of the feelings entertained towards the court of Rome. The course of the Italian ministry has been marked by much prudence and tact, and has greatly contributed to strengthen its position in the reassembled Chambers. Indeed, an attempt has even been made to call in question the sincerity of General Menabrea's declarations on the subject. There appeared, four days ago, the first number of a new Journal, the Corrispencleriza Ballistics, pro fessing, hke the real semi-official Corriaromienre Italieuse, to be able to procure information from government source., and the first specimen of its reliability has been the publication of an apocry phal note, purporting to have been addressed by General Menabres to the Tuileries, and apology sing for, or extenuating the language held by the premier in parliament. General Menabrea has instituted a prosecution against the authors of this impudent forgery. Mire Emily Faithful' will liwturn this evening on the Claims of Women, in the Queues Oonsert.rooina lianovnr-square, at Welsch. The prizes and certificates gained by com petitors at the Oxford local examination for the London district, held last summer, were d.tributed yesterday afternoon, at Willis's-rooms, St. James's, in the of an audience sufficient to fill the old Almack's Ball room. Mr. Gather's, Hardy had promised to give away the prissy but the right hon. gentleman had an engage ment ut Windier, which prevented his performing this task. In his absence the chair was taken by Dr. Haig Brown, the head master of the Charter. house School, who, in opening the proceedings, congratu lated his audience upon the success of their examinations, and informed them that in this, their 10th year, 09 par cent. of the senior, and rather more of the junior, clams. bad pasted the test—a test which had been every year becoming more and more severe. After this &anomie,- ment of the result of the examinations he darkened him self more immediately to the winners of prizes and Gerd- Bodes, and especially Impressed upon them the import ance of education to the prosperity of nations, ad ducing the instances of Holland and Spain as evidences how farcultivated intelligence might triumph over adverse circumstances, and of how little use were more natural advantages in the absence of intelligence and cultivation. He congratulated most warmly those who had obtained joins in these examinations, but cautioned them against being satisfied with the success which had already at tended their efforts. They mud not regard them prisms es the rewards of a finished career, but rather as Imes fives to renewed endeavour and further programs. Above all thi let th em not fall into the error of knowledge for the asks of the rewards which ra . they did so they would certainly fail of the plane. The 111011..wh0 had vendered the motion to sesskind, aneirbose mum would live in the rineindwance of posterity, were these vibe waked for love and not far gain. This standaed ;inse might to some seem high, but he reminded th em of the quaint words of George Harbert, Who Mass the sky shave higher far Than le who aim a tree. Prizes and certificates were then delivered to 96 Maids in the senior, and to 908 students in the junior clams. After this somewhat tedious prams had been gone through, &sake were voted to the ezawinere, the Parr. C. Hill and Meows. Sothint7 and Ellis ; and the proceed ings closed with a munibir acknowledgment of the services of the chairman. MR. GLADSTONE AND iris CONSTITUENTS.- A meeting of the newly constituted committee, formed for the purpose of projecting suitable arrangements for the reception of the Premier on his liut visit to his consti tuents, took place on Tuesday night, for the transaction of business, in the Lecture-hall, Greenwich, Mr. W. Angcretein, in the chair. There were many of the morn influential of the electors present from all parts of the borough. At the last meeting of the same gentlemen the advisability of inviting the right hon. gentleman to a banquet was decurved. but abandoned fora great public remit) , n in the largest possible building that could be obtained, and it was resolved that Mr. Angerstein should wait on Mr. John Penn, the eminent engineer, to ask his consent for the use of a large "fitting shop" on his premises, which it was said would hold mans , thou sands of persons. Mr. Angerstein reported that he had bad an interview with Mr. Penn, who informed him that the building spoken of could not be made avail able for the purpose contemplated, and the committee were therefore in the same position as before. A oor rcetondence which had taken place between the secretary of the committee and the representative of Mr. We 'stone WWI read, from which it appealed that an impression existed that in consequence of the pressure of business thrown on the shoulders of the latter at the present juncture there would be no possibility of his meeting his constituents until the day came for his re-election. This, however, was not certain, and it was resolved to defer the consideration of procuring a place of meeting suf.. ticiently large until some further communication could be had with Mr. Gladstone himself. TEE REFORM LEAOVE.—Last evening a special general meeting of the council of the Reform was held at the offices in Adelphi-terrace, Mr. Edmond Reales in the chair, for the purpose of receiving the report and financial statement of the electoral committee, re specting which so much angry discussion took place at the last ordinary meeting. There was a verilarge attendance. TEE REPRESENTATION OF WAR/HAW—Mr. William Montagu Calcraft, brother of the late member, has come forward in the liberal interest. On Tuesday afternoon be issued an address, in which he states that his political ' principles " are similar to those " which his brother supported when in . parliament," and that he " concurs in the opinions contained in the address" his brother issued "only a few weeks since " and further, that " if elected he ts prepared to support Mr. Gladstone and his policy." Mr. Drax is again ut the field in the con servative interest. THE REPRFALNTATION OF DIMPSIESSHIRE.- Sir Sydney Watertow dm arrived at Dumfries, and cir culars are already in possession of all the electors, inform ing them of the possibility of the election being found invalid, and requesting them to sign a form promising, in that event, to support Sir Sydney. COMPLIMENTARY BAHOFET TO MR. BERNAL OPBOHM —Oa Tuesday night the friends and admirers of Mr. Bernal Osborne entertained him at a public b enquet at the Exchange-ball, Nottingham, when there was a very large attendance. The chair was taken by Mr. Alderman Birkin. CENTRAL CHAMBER OF AORICFLTERE.—A very numerously attended meeting of the council of the Cen tral Chamber of Agriculture, at which deputed members from provincial chambers met the regular members of the council, took place at the Saliebury Arms, Fleet street ; Mr. Jasper More, president of the Central Cham ter, occupied the chair. After the transaction of general business, the council proceeded to the appointment of a treasurer and secretary, to which offices the late occupiers of the mine, Messrs. C. Clay and John A Igenton Oarke were eeverally Ic-elected. Propos:As see discussed fur the purpose of extending the influence of the Chamber of Ay) 'culture Jultreel, which, it was announced, would hehtefotth be issued weekly, in an improved form, and under the editorship, as before, of the secretary of the Central Chamber. The report was read and received unanimously. Mr. May, representing the North Cheshire Chamber, and Mr. Rigby, of the Cheshire Chamber, re erectively moved and seconded a resolution to the effect that the cost of "stamping out . ' the cattle plague in the county of Chester should be made a national charge, being, us it was, a measure adopted for the national benefit. The motion gave rise to considerable discussion, but was ultimately withdrawn. The council . then pro ceeded to select a series of subjects for discussion during the ensuing year. Lord Bridport and Lcrd Berner' re commended as the three subjects which should take pre cedence of all others, the best substitute for the malt tax, the subject of local taxation, anti the prevention of con tagious diseases of sheep and cattle by legislation. A show of bands was in favour of the subject of local taxa tion being the first to stand on the and Mr. Andrews was to have precedence for his resolution on the sobject at the next meeting of the council. The subject for the second meeting was decided to be that of waterside markets; and the third was declared unanimously to be the beet substitute for the malt tax. It was decided that the ensuing meet:nes of the council should bo held ott the first Tuesday' in the months of November, December, February, March, April, and May. The meeting now become a general one, and its first business was to ap point a vice-president Sir Maury Lopes, M.P.. Mr. Wells, M.P. for Peterborough, and Mr. Howard, Y.P. for Redford, were respectively proposed and 'seconded. Sir Massey Lopes withdrew on the 6 , i lof his 'edifies I.eng of the Fame school us those of Mr. C. S. Read. On the mines of Mr. Wells and Mr. Howard being put to the meting, lilt. Wells was chosen by the majority. Eight nu rs of the council were appointed in the place of eight others who retired by rotat.on, some of whom were re-elected. Mr. W. B. Clare and the Rev. Mr. &Mann were elected auditor. Other routine business was trans acted, and with a vote of thanks to the chairman the pro ceedings terminated. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A STUDENT OF emus! ("newt.
