LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 16. The House of Commons last night sat in judg ment upon the labours of seventeen weeks, befcre sending them up for review to the other branch of the Legislature. The Representation of the People Bill, which was read a third time without opposi tion, though not without protest from Lord CHAN BORNE and Mr. Lowe, Mr. BERESFORD Born, Mr. BARROW, Mr. GUEST, and Lord Etin'ACE CECIL, has assumed a shape which, at the commence ment of the session, no one anticipated, and which very few persons, if they could have foreseen it, would have desired. Its identity with the Bill which Mr. Disasztt introduced on the 19th of March is, as Lord CRANDORNE last night urged, merely nominal: Not a feature remains the same. The thin partition of a phrase alone divides the Reform League from the Carlton Club. The ac tual franchises of the present Bill will not, we be lieve, when supplemented by an equitable measure of distribution, be found to go beyond the limits of safe and beneficial reform ; but the principles on which it is based have no limits at all. Nothing else could be expected when a great party is driven to discard its irrational prejudices without attaining to rational convictions. Forced into a democratic extension of the suffrage, a Conserva tive Government endeavours to neutralize its con cession by an oligarchic distribution of seats. Mr. Dlssaztr's followers exhibit a degree of faith in their leader which is perfectly touching, in sip posing that this security will be more secure than any of those which have gone before it. The results thus arrived at, and the process by which they have been attained, could not escape the strictures alike of the Reformers whose principles Mr. DISRAELI has stolen and the consistent Conservatives whose principles he has betrayed. Lord CRANBORNE, whom melancholy appears to have marked for its own, made himself histrionically the mouth-piece of the first party, and out of the fulness of his heart spoke the sentiments of the second. In all the changes which have converted the Bill of the 18th March into that of the 15th July, what Mr. GLADSTONE has imperiously enjoined, Mr. DISRAELI, he says, has obsequiously yielded. The story of the political inconsistency of his late colleagues and of his party has been often told; the extracts which he read from the speeches of Mr. DISRAELI, Lord STANLEY, Mr. GATHORNE HARDY, and Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, have often been quoted before. But Lord CAA-THOR:II went be yond these hackneyed materials of political impu tation. He spoke of debates last session in the lobbies ; of means of persuasion there adopted which could not have been employed in the light of day ; of an understanding which has been set aside, and of secret intentions which could not have been avowed ; and he grounded upon these a charge against his late colleagues of a be trayal of principle without a parallel in history, and of having framed their political morality upon the ethics of an adventurer. Mr. Lowe used similar language with even more vehemence of personal accusation. Last session, he said, he was in daily communication with those who are now members of the Government and of the party in power ; and he quoted the explicit declaration of a right honourable gentleman, not the least among them, against the reduction even by a sixpence of the occupation franchise in boroughs. Mr. DISRAELI, it is only fair to add, disclaims any knowledge of such negotiations. He knew nothing, it will be remembered, of Colonel TAYLOR'S bargain this year with Mr. DILLWYN. The despairing anticipations of both the Member for Stamford and the Member for Caine who conceive the working classes as consisting of men of two types—the Sheffield Trade Unionist and the old freeman, and their picture of a future, in which Mr. BROADHEAD, with a red cap upon his head, shall sit metaphorically upon the throne of England, can only amaze those whom they do not weary or alarm. It will be satisfactory to those admirers of Mr. Lowe who do not wish to see his great abilities wasted in vindictive personalities and passionate Jeremiads, to find that he regards the proper palliation of democratic evils to lie in the more thorough ap plication of democratic principles. Henceforth he proclaims that he must act in the spirit of the baptismal injunction to Ctovrs :—" Burn what "thou haat adored ; adore what thou haat burned." The redistribution of seats, he says, must be brought into harmony with the new suffrage. The House of Lords must be converted from an here ditary peerage into something like the United States Senate, in order that it may become an efficient second chamber ; the legislative short comings of Parliament must be met by dividing its functions with local assemblies ; education must be made universal and compulsory, in order that the sovereign people may, if possible, be something better than a violent and untaught rabble. In other words, Mr. Lows is for Ameri canising our institutions in order to bring them into harmony with the democratic basis which has now been adopted. The spirit of reac tion has made him for the future a Reformer. We accept the sensible conclusion, and do not trouble ourselves with the irrational reasons. In One and the same breath Mr. Low z re tains his consistency as an anti-reformer, and enlists himself in a new reforming crusade. The violent personalities with which his speech abounded called up Mr. Bandir, in, perhaps, unnecessary self-vindication, and provoked a THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1867. terrible retort, unanswerable as a to quoque, from Mr. DlEntssti, whose rhetorical ability, both in in vective and ridicule, was never more brilliantly directed to a more conspicuous antagonist. Mr. DISRAELI'S defence of his own consistency and that of his party was less successful than his ridicule of Mr. LowE's "inspired schoolboy" speeches, and his exposure of the equivocal casuistry of the Member for Caine. It appears that in 1869 a rating household suffrage was pro posed and discussed in the Cabinet of Lord DERBY, and was rejected because, after full inquiry, there was reason to believe that the country was not prepared for it. This fact brands with insincerity the language habitually used by the leaders of the Tory party since that thee, and covers them with the dishonour they seek to avoid. Mr. Dis stseti's speeches in 1859 and 'OO, and again in 1865 ; Lord STANLEY'S letters to Working Men's Associations and speeches to his condi- tuenta during the last and the present year—con demn their authors. The hypocrisy, it turns out, is not recent with which the Conservative leaders have been charged ; it has been organised and kept up for seven or eight years. Mr. DISRAELI'S allegation tells against him in another way. It deprives him of the greater part of the credit which might otherwise be given him in connexion with the present Bill. Who have made that mea sure of enfranchisement possible in 1867 which was impossible in 1859 ? Not the politicians who have systematically protested against any reduc tion of the suffrage, but the popular leaders who have directed the public opinion to this point, and the Liberal statesmen who have made it a parliamen tary necessity. Mr. DISRAELI has entered into their labours ; he has co-operated with them in his con version of his own colleagues and party ; but the essential work has been done not by him, bet by them. VISIT OP TAX BEL(IAN voLuNrzzas TO WINDSOR CASTLS.—(THIS DAY.) WINDSOR, Ttraper. This morning has not opened quite so pro pitiously with respect to the weather as was hoped. It is St. Swithin's reign here, and the wind and clouds, though there is an occasional glimpse of sunshine, bode rain. The town is in festive array ; the principal build ings, the approaches to the two railway stations, and the streets are gaily ornamented with colours. The great centre of attraction, however, is the Royal Riding School, in the castle. The interior of this great building has been most elaborately decorated. The ornamentation was effected by the Castle employes, under the directing bands of Mr. W. Seabrook, her Majesty's inspector of the Lord Chamberlain's department. Trophies of flags of all nations adorn the walls, ceiling, and gase liers, while an artificial wainscot representing the Belgian colours, decorated with an upper riband and rosettes, has been placed round the walls. Large baskets of flowers and creepers, hanging in a double row from the roof, and choice exotics are placed upon the long tables. These floral decorations are due to Mr. Ingram, of the Royal Gardens, Frogmore, and Mr. C. Turner, of the Royal Numerics, Slough. About 1,100 volunteers are to dine in the riding school. The rest were to have dined in a tent between the coach-house and the school, but this was blown away yesterday, and the glass coach-house in the mews has been prepared instead. The walls of this, too have been draped with great taste in panels and fes toons of tlsgs and ornamented with flowers. Mr. J. N. T. Staples has been busily engaged in p reparing for the ban quets which will take plaft at 1 and 2o'cluck respectively. The Belgians arrive here at 11.15 and 11.30 by the South Western, and 12.30 and 12.50 by the Great Western. The arrangements for the. conveyance of the volunteers have been most ably carried out by Mr. J. Grierson, of the Great Western, and Mr. Williams, of the South-Western -- - The mayor and corporation met their guests as they ar rived in their official costumes, the Windsor Volunteers furnishings usrd of honour at the station, under Captain the Hon.

To the Times, the most remarkable point in a debate of remarkable power was the prolonged silence of the Ministers. The fact still remains that the sponsors of the bill were pledged to oppose the very measure they have fathered, and had declared unalterable hostility to the scheme they have since submitted to the House of Com mons. If Mr. Disraeli labours under the conviction that what he proposes to-day is in exact accord with what he has been saying and dcing for the last dozen years, it is an egregious instance of self-delusion, and he must not expect the world to share his belief. The Times takes the simple fact to be that at the outset of the session Lord Stanley, Mr. Hardy, and Sir Stafford Northcote never contemplated the possibility of finding themselves responsible for such a bill ; but as the session advanced it became apparent that they must either con sent to a measure more democratic than they personally approved, or produce a renewed and a more turbulent agitation by withdrawing altogether from further partici pation in reform. But while these ministers found them selves too late committed to a course from which they would have recoiled, Mr. D i sraeli was indifferent to the end which chance might beget, and ventures now to boast that a bill contradicting the professions of 15 years corres ponds to the conviction he had always entertained. The Daily New says that the government and the con servative party have accomplished something the very re verse of what they bad designed, and have been compelled by the people, under the leadership of Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Mill, and Mr. Bright, to fully carry out principles which they had intended should be practically restrained within the narrowest scope. The fact which Mr. Disraeli now states, that in 1859 a rating household suffrage was pro posed and discussed in the cabinet of Lord Derby, brands with insincerity the language habitually used by the lead ers of the Tory party since that time, and covers them with the dishonour they seek to avoid. It also deprives Mr. Disraeli of the greater part of the credit which might otherwise be given to him in con nexion with the present bill, for it is the popular lead ers and the I, l>eral statesmen who have made that mea sure of enfranchisement possible in 1867 which was im possible in 1859. The circumstance that the reform bill now passes from the hands of that house of parliament which created it, and which is the most deeply interested in its provisions, affords to the Post conclusive proof that the subject of parliamentary reform is now completely exhausted, and, for what we may hope may prove a considerable time, has been finally disposed of. It is not probable that the House of Lords will make any important changes in the measure; it is almost certain that it will not reject it. What is really the question, the Herald says, is th►t re duction of the franchise could not have rosily been resisted. The mischiefs which may result from the enfranchisement of so many persons are smaller than those which would have resulted from an obstinate denial of the claims of the working classes to a vote. The Standard is careful to say that the conviction that a reform bill was inevitable was enforced, not by the riots of London swell-mobsmen, or by the gigantic assemblages so easily collected in Manchester and Birmingham, and so grossly exaggerated in liberal organs ; but by the evidence afforded in other quarters of the opinion of the best and moat enlightened portion of the middle and upper-middle clam--of commercial and profession►l men of high cha racter, and well acquainted with the working classes—as well as of the working men themselves. Compromise is the vital principle of English constitutional progress ; and compromise becomes impossible, from the hour when it is established as a rule of political honour that ► party shall not originate or espouse a measure partially distasteful to itself, in order to prevent the eventual passage of use much more disagreeable by the hands of its adversaries. the Court. OSBORNE, JULY 15. The Queen and the royal family walked and drove out this morning. MARLBOROUGH4IOI3I3E, JULY 15. - - The Prince of Wake was present at the state visit of the Sultan to the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden, this evening. His royal highness was attended by Viscount Hamilton, General Sir W. Knollys, the Hon. Colonel Wood, and Captain Ellis. Mr. S. Laing, M.P. (chairman), and Mr. Philip Rose (solicitor of the Brighton Railway Company), had an inter view with the Duke of Richmond at the office of the Board of Trade yesterday. Mr. King bad also an interview with the Duke of Rich mond on the subject of his patent for communication be tween guards and driven of railway trains. Mr. Macke, accompanied by Mr. Graves, M.P., bad an interview with the Vice-President of the Board of Trade at the office of the Board of Trade, yesterday, on the sub ject of patent rights. Viscount and Viscountess Castleroase have arrived at their residence, Killarney, Ireland. We learn that Lady Castlerceme has quite recovered from her late illness. Yesterday morning Captain the Hon. Henry Wyndham, M.P. for West Sussex, and eldest son of Lord LeconSeld, was married to the Hon. Constance Evelyn Primrose, second daughter of the late Lord Dalmeny, granddaughter of the fourth Earl of Rambery, and step. daughter of the Duke of Cleveland, at St. James's Church, Piccadilly. THE VICEROY AND THE ROYAL Box AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. A correspondent of a contem porary communicates to us the almost incredible feat that on Saturday night the Viceroy of Egypt ted Her Majesty's Theatre, where he occupied the royal box, that some time after the opera had begun a party arrived who asserted their preferential right to that box, and that the Viceroy was actually turned out of it, and compelled to take refuge with his party in the box of Lord Dudley, who seems destined to be his highness's good genius during his visit to this country. Our correspondent asks who the parties were who perpetrated this 'mist outrage, and by what right they claimed and obtained the royal box. TO THE zprroa OF TIM EXPRESS. SlR,—His Imperial Majesty the Sultan has graciously intimated his intention of honouring the Wim bledon volunteer review with his presence on Saturday next. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has also intimated that the household brigade will be present on the occasion, to take part in the review. As it is most desirable that the volunteers should muster in strong force, and at as early an hour as possible, we venture to expreu a hope that employers in the metropolis may be induced, in honour of the occasion of the Sultan's visit, to give a half-holiday to all volunteers in their employ ment, in order that they may take part in the review.— We are, dm, SPENCER, (Signed) ELCHO, GROSVENOR. . . . _ National Rifle Association Camp, Wimbledon, July 15. In the House of Lords on Friday next Lord Stratford de Radcliffe will move "that an bumble address be presented to her Majesty expressing the condolence of this house with her Majesty on the afflicting death of her Majesty's near relation the Emperor Maximilian, and their deep, indignant sense of the violence done to humanity and the usage of civilised nations by the barbarous exe cution of that most unfortunate and heroic Prince." Mr. Neale will move, in committee on Increase of the Episcopate BiU, th►t the best mode of providing for an increase of the episcopate is by the suppression of deaneries. On Friday Mr. W. E. Forster will ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether, as one means of obtaining information with regard to technical education abroad, he will instruct the secretaries of em bassies and legations to inquire into the existence, the working, and the effects of schools or colleges for techni cal education in the different countries to which they are accredited. Mr. Read, on Thursday, will ask the Secretary to the Treasury, when the compensation voted by the house for the owners of cattle slaughtered by the govern ment inspectors between August and November, 1865, will be paid. Tint VICIIROT or EGYPT. —The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland gave • grand Me to his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, last evening, at Stafford-house, St. James's. His highness, accompanied by • numerous suite, arrived shortly after 8 o'clock. A distinguished circle was invited by the noble host and hostess to meet his hishoess, including the Prince and Princess Mary of Teck, the Duke and Duchess of Buocleueh, the Duke and Thichesi of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, the Duchess of Si. Albans, the Duchess ( D owage r of Beaufort, the Marquis of Aberoorn, the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, the Earl and Countess of Derby the Earl and Countess Granville, the Earl and Countess of Dudley, the Earl and Countess Vane, the Countess (Frances) Waldegrave, and the Right Honourable Chichester Fortesnie, M.P., Viscount and Viscourtess Enfield, Lord Albert Leveson Gower, he. Covers were laid for 46. The ex terior of the mansion was handsomely decorated with crimson drapery. In the mansion the band of the Grenadier Guards performed on the arrival of the oom psny, and in the garden in front of another band played at intervals during the evening. Later in the evening the duchess had an assembly to meet the illustrious guest, and there was a dance. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge arrived at a late hour, having assisted at the state visit of the Sultan to the Royal Italian Opera. The royal visitors were received on alighting by the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. All the company had ennobled to witne ss the reception, and a more brilliant wane has seldom been beheld than that which was afforded by the entry of his Majesty, and his passage up the broad staircase into the picture gallery. Several hands were in attendance, and in the picture gallery, which by night is lighted from the roof, dancing was maintained by the general company till a late hour. ROYAL AIRCHJEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OP GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.— The annual meeting is to be held this year at Hull, commencing on the 30th inst. The Archbishop of York will be the President, and the grand jury-room at the Town-hall is to be the reception room, and a temporary museum is arranging for the exhibition of numerous contributions of great intend. After the in augural meeting in the Town-ball, the objects of anti quarian interest in Hull are to be visited, and in the even ing the full dress soiree will be given by the Mayor of Hull. After the btudnessof the various sections the arrangements for the week include excursions to Beverley Minster, He don, Patrington, Flamborongh Head, the Dane's Dykes, Drifileld Church, Halton gravel beds (where a stone axe has just been found nine feet deep), Howden, Wasseel Castle, Selb Church, Bridlington, and other objects of interest in t h e county. The visitors will be conducted to the various objects of interest by gentlemen of the neigh bourhood, who will act as honorary guides. THE APPROACHING Rzersw.--It is now becom ing matter of certainty that the review next Saturday at Wimbledon will be one of the finest displays in the series of fetes that are rendering this season exceptionally bril liant. Wimbledon, it will be remembered, was fixed upon some weeks ago as the site of the Volunteer Review to be held in honour of the Sultan ; and since then, the review in Hyde-park having been deferred, the Secretar7 of State for War, with a view of obviating any disappoint ment which might have been felt at the less of the pro mised spectacle has suggested that, if agreeabl e t o th e rs voluntee, the household troops might take part in a com bined field-day with them at Wimbledon. An offer so tempting was at once accepted, and it is now arranged that the household cavalry, the brigade of Guards, and some batteries of Royal Artillery will be included in the forth to be reviewed on Saturday next by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, in presence of the Sultan, the Prince d'Aosta, son of the King of Italy, and other illustrious visitors. All that is now requisite to the per fect success of the occasion, weather apart, is that a really determined effort should be made by the volunteers them selves to attend in cod numbers. THE SNIDER RIFLE. —The tenting of tho gorern meat Snider rifle and Boxer ammunition at the Wimble don meetings, as announced yesterday at Woolwich, has been most satisfactor7. At the 200 yards' range, in the competition for militia breech-leaders, for rapidity and ac curacy combined, the Snider rifle headed the list up to the end of last week with the mores of 75, 75, and 72, the next highest score obtained being with the Henry rifle, 71. At 500 yards the Joslyn rifle headed the list with a score of M. The Snider was second with • score of 86, but the arm is capable of doing better things even than this, having in • recent trial scored 95 at the same range. In the com petition for " any breechloader " at 200 yards the Snider made the highest score—namely, 70. Thus, in two out of the three breech-loader competitions the Snider is first, and in the thirst it bolds a second place. The arms have been used at Wimbledon by volunteers of the Royal Arsenal battalions, who bad had but little previous practice with them. The ammunition has given great satisfaction, and the excellent performances of the arm at Wimbledon have rained its reputation in the eyes of those who have wit nessed them.— Tines. Messrs ILayrd, Drake, Grenfell, and Stewart, directors of the Imperial Ottoman Bank, had an and'. ence yesterday with his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, to whom they were introduced by hi s H i ghness Fuad Pasha. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE EXECUTION OF MAXIMILIAN. OFFICIAL DETAILS AND DESPATCHES. We have to-day received advices from New York, bringing full and authentic details of the circumstances attending the execution of the Em peror Maximilian. The following is the telegram of Esoobedo to the Mexican Minister of War announcing the execution : Ben Luis Potosi, Jane 19, 1867. Citizen Minister of War,—On the 14th inst., at eleven o'clock at night, the Council of War condemned Maximilian of Hapsburg, Miguel Miramon, and Tomas Mejia to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. The sentence having been confirmed at these headquarters, it was ordered to be carried into effect on the lfith. The execution was suspended by order of the supreme government until to-day. It is now 7 o'clock in the morning, at which time Maximilian has just been shot. Please communicate to the Citizens resident of the republic. Escousuo. Immediately upon receipt of the news General Berriorabal sent official information of it to Gene ral Reynolds, commanding the sub-district of the Rio Grande. The event was celebrated with great rejoicing, manifested by ringing of bells, music, and other demonstrations. The Baron Magnas, Prussian Minister, arrived at Queretaro the day before the execution, and im mediately transmitted by telegraph a formal protest to Juarez, which was received at half-past nine o'clock on the evening of the same day, and in reply to which the following was transmitted : San LOWS Potosi., June 18-10.10 p.m. To Baron A. V. MAGNA B , at Queretaro. I am sorry to say to you, in answer to your telegram which you have been pleased to send me this night, that, as I had expressed to you the day before yesterday, the Pre sident of the republic is not of the opinion that it is pos• Bible to grant the pardon of Maximilian of I lapsburg, con sistent with the great considerations of justice and the necessity of insuring the future peace of the republic. I am, baron, very respectfully your obedient servant, S. Lmum or TIJADA. The following is a translation of the protest of Baron Magnus : To his Excellency Senor Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada. Having arrived to-day at Queretaro, I become aware that the prisoner condemned on the 14th inst. morally died on Sunday last. It is thus that all the world will consider it, for all their preparations to die having been made on that day, they waited during a whole hour to be taken to the place whence they were to receive their death before the order suspending the execution of the sentence was communicated to them by means of the telegraph. The humane customs of our age will not per mit them, after having suffered this horrible agony, to be be put to death a second time to-morrow. In the name of humanity and of honour I conjure you to order that their lives be not taken ; and I again repeat that I am certain that my sovereign, his Majesty the King of Prussia, and all the crowned heads of Europe, united by ties of blood and kin dred to the prince prisoner, his brother, the Emperor of Austria ; his cousin, the Queen of the British domi nions ; his brather-in-law, the King of the Belgians, and also his cousins, the Queen of Spain and the Kings of Italy and Sweden, will readily agree to give his Excellency Senor Don Benito Juarez all security that none of the prisoners shall again tread on Mexican soil. A. V. MAGNAS. ... Aocounta from Matamoros, June 28, mention the death also of Mejia and Mirsmon, the sentence being promulgated on the morning of June 14. Subsequently the execution was postponed for three days to give Maximilian time to arrange his affairs, and it was announced that the execution would posi tively take place on the morning of June 19, at 11 o'clock. The Prussian and British ministers visited Juarez at San 'Mill Potosi to endeavour to arrest the doom of the unfortunate prince ; but their efforts were vain. Both had returned to Queretaro to take formal leave of Mexico, when the prince was executed. Maximilian was shot faced to the front. His last words were " Poor Carlotta Minimon and Mejia were reduced from their rank, and shot in the back. Esoobedo write. from Queretaro :—" I have, by the execution of these master traitors, made terror the order of the day everywhere. I have imposed large contributions on the rich, and confiscated their property and their all. When I could not do it iu person my delegates have strictly complied with my orders. I hope, before closing my military career, to see the blood of every foreigner spilt that resides in my country." Berriozabal, the governor of Matamoros, had all the bells rung and rockets were fired on the receipt of the news of the execution. Colonels were sentenced to six years' imprison ment, lieutenant colonels to five years' and the minor officers to two years' imprisonment. The brigadier generals and the exceptional officers are to be tried by court-martial. The city of Mexico was surrendered to Diaz on the 21st. Juarez sent him a congratulatory note with directions for the disposition of prisoners, saying, " The native prisoners you will transfer to your own command, or give them liberty, accord ing to the circumstances in which you find them. The foreign prisoners you will retain for the further disposition of the government." Among Maximilian's papers found in Queretaro was a will, by which, in case of his death, he ap points Theodosia Lanes, Joad Maria Lacunsea, and Marquez regents of the empire. Portions of Maxi milan's service plate are on exhibition as trophies at Matamoros. No authentic news has arrived as to the dispo sition of the body of Maximilian. (Limn% nusoLuts.) FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 16. The following is a more complete summary of the reply made by M. Rouher yesterday in the Legis lative Body to the remarks of M. Jules Fevre on the subject of Luxemburg : " Our policy with regard to Luxemburg has had serious results. Ido not wish to exaggerate them. We must not assume the position with regard to Prussia of being triumphant. Our policy is a policy of calmness and conciliation. We have claimed what we believed just, and our success instead of being a cause of irritation should prove an element of concord and peace. The government looks upon the question of German unity without regret for the past, and without pre-occupation as regards the future, with a feeling of its dignity and strength— it is entirely without apprehension of wounded sus ceptibilities, in which it does not believe. The unity of Germany is a serious fact which must have been realised either under the Prussian or Austrian sceptre. It has been accomplished by Prussia. This unity has marked out its sphere. There is nothing in that to trouble the peace of the world." Replying to an interruption from M. niers, who made a remark relative to the bill for the re organisation of the army, M. Rouher declared that the bill in question was framed with the exclusive idea of self-defence. "We do not wish," he added, "to form exclusive alliances. By forming exclusive alliances permanent enemies are created. To summarize the policy of the government in a few words, I may say that its diplomatic tendencies are essentially directed towards the preservation of peace throughout the world, and the govern. ment would decide on sacrificing so momentous an interest only on that day when regard for the honour of France, care for her dignity, or the safety of her frontiers, should render such a course an imperative duty."

BERLIN, JULY 15. It is now definitely arranged that the Sultan, on hie way to Vienna, will pay a cunt to the King of Prussia on the 22nd instant, at the Castle of Coblentz. ITALY. FLORENCE, JULY 16. Yesterday, in the Chamber of Deputies, the de bate upon the interpellation of Signor Ferrari relative to the appointment of bishops, and the late negotiations with Rome, was resumed. Several deputies moved votes of censure on the conduct of the late ministry, declaring null and void all acts opposed to the national laws and pre rogatives, which they considered had been violated by the late ministry in the nominations of bishops and other concessions made to Rome. Signor Rattazzi pointed out that tho acts of the former administration could not be considered null and void. He assured tho chamber, however, that the present ministry would make no further nomi nation of bishops. Several motions were then brought forward, in cluding one to peas to the order of the day. This proposal was opposed by Signor Rattazzi, who said that were it to be agreed to no opinion would be elicited from the majority upon the weighty ques tions which had been raised. Baron Ricaaoli, the president of the late ministry, justified the policy he had pursued, the aim of which he declared was to prove to Europe that the Italian government, desiring to go to Rome by moral means, had given the Pope gua rantees for the absolute independence of the Church. The motion to pass to the simple order of the day was lost by 231 against 116 votes, ten members refraining from voting. - - Signor Mancini then moved the following order of the day : " That the chamber, recording the declarations of the government, that without a special law nothing can be initiated to the pre judice of the rights and prerogatives of the civil power in ecclesiastical matters, and taking note that the ministry will preserve intact the rights of the State and the dignity of the nation, pass to the order of the day." This motion was agreed to by Signor Rattazzi, who, however, deprecated the interpretation attached to it by the members of the Left. Several deputies also an nounced that it met with their approval in the form proposed, as they did not consider it contained any censure upon the conduct of Baron Ricasoli. The first portion of Signor Manciasproposed order of the day was adopted unanimously, and the second portion by 192 against 93 vows, 21 mem bers abstaining from voting.

EXMOUTH, MONDAY NIGHT. This morning (writes Mr. W. Hswkitus, chief officer of coast guard) at 10.30 a.m., a message was sent to this station from Budleigh Salter ton, stating that a brig VMS in a dangerous position off that place, and urging that some assistance might be rendered. At 10.45 the Exmouth new lifeboat of the Ral National lifeboat Institution wu launched, and procee ded at once to Salterton. The lifeboat had to go through a most trying ordeal in getting over the bar, where • heavy sea was breaking, through which she bad to make her way for more than half a mile. On rounding the outer end of the Highland Shoal, which was the moat dangerous pert, the lifeboat shipped six heavy seas, filling ber up to the thwarts each time and knocking the men therefrom. Four oars out of five were broken on the starboard side, by the violence of the seas, and the steering oar was carried away by which all command of the boat was lost, and fears were entertained lest she should drive upon the rocks. The anchor wee accordingly let go, while the men got out some spare oars, which are always provided for such emergencies, after which the cable was cut, and by very great exertions on the part of her crew, she was got out of danger. The brig, which was the Ranger, of Shields, coal laden, had, in the meantime, gone on shore, and her crew of eight men had been rescued by means of the rocket npperattis ; the lifeboat was, therefore, sig. nailed to return to the shore. The boat and her crew behaved admirably en the occasion. The cost of the Exmouth lifeboat Station was presented to the Institution by Lady Rolle, at whose request the boat was named the Victoria. TEIGNMOUTH, Moup.tl. We had a heavy gale of wind from ES.E. last night (states Mr. G. P. H. Rowell). As two of the fishing boats were out, the lifeboat crew watched all night at the boat house, with everything in readiness to render assistance. Their services, however, were not required. One of the fishing boats made for Torbay, and the other, after shipping some heavy seas, got safely into harbour. The following is the text of Madame George Sand's refusal to sanction the publication of • caricature of her by one of the little pictorial journal' :—" Paris, July B.—lf I were free, sir, I would say ' yes' directly, for I never waa vain, and lam not going to be at the age of 63. But all my friends are against it, and my children would be pained by what you propose to do. Everybody about me tells me this so seriously that I must say ' no.' You will excuse me, won't you Believe that I am very orry to refuse a request made in such friendly and amiable terms.--Gleouox Swap." According to the Panama Star the remains of the wreck of the Bengal British ship Canton bas been discovered by an American captain on a coral inland in the Pacific, known by the name of Sybilla or Gaspar Rica Island.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE CASE OF BEREZOWSK I. (PRON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, 31 ,, NDAY EVENING. The Assize Court of the Seine was crammed to day, not quite as full as it would hold, but as full as the presiding judge would allow it to be, and nearly as full as was compatible with the orderly conduct of a trial by persons curious to hear the case of Berezowski. Hundreds of persons besieged the doors, scarcely in the hope of obtaining admis sion—for it is generally known that with the ex ception of a little strip of space at the back, open to such of the "public " as will stand in waiting for six or seven hours, the assize court can only be entered by tickets—but on the chance of hear ing from time to time something of what was going on inside. There was as usual on the occasion of causes Wares, a large attendance of privileged persona who, either from their rank, fortune, or official position, were able to claim the favour of the presiding judge, who has the pa tronage—more onerous than desirable—..f giving places. But what was unusual, and, indeed, unprecedented, was the utter absence of ladies, who generally form a large proportion of the audience when sensational trials are going on. Has a new rule, founded on the position that the curiosity of the fair sex in such matters is unwholesome and should not be gratified, been now laid down for the first time 1 I du not think so. I have no doubt the true reason is that if ladies had been admitted, it was feared that many would not have been able to repress outward mani festations of their sympathy with Poland. A great many Poles and Russians were admitted. M. De vienne, the first President of the Imperial Court, who was assigned to preside at this trial, being prevented by indisposition, his place was taken by President Berthelin—well known formerly as the President of the Correctional Tribunal, where he was succeeded by M. Delesvaux. A shorthand writer employed to report the case for the Russian government was provided with a commodious seat, as was also a reporter from the Russian journal, the Cuss. Berezowski, on being brought to the bar between four soldiers, appeared perfectly self-possessed. He smiled when talk ing to his counsel, M. Etienne An.go, and nodded to some acquaintances that he recognised in court. He is a well-looking young man, with a high forehead, abundance of light brown hair, combed back, a alight fringe of beard and a mous tache. His complexion is rather fair and very pale, and his eyes are brown. He was neatly dressed— better dressed than a mechanic usually is. He wore his loft arm in a sling, the wounds occasioned by the bursting of the pistol not being yet cured. Procureur-General Mamas occupied the public prosecutor's seat. The acte d'arcusation (in dictment) read by the registrar narrates the circumstances of the crime as set forth in the committal by the " Chamber of Accusation," which I sent you a week ago, and which therefore need not now be repeated. Berezowski, in answer to the interrogatories of the President, said he did not know whether his father was now alive or not ; at all events, he did not know where he now was. Being reminded that he told the judge of instruc tion that his father was in Russia, and gave piano forte lessons, ho said it was very long since he had heard from him. He had two brothers and a sister, but did not know where they now were. He had no knowledge that they had been arrested or pro secuted by the Russian authorities, or that they were dead. He had been brought up by his grandmother. It was true that he had taken part in the Polish insurrection in 1863 and that his father had cursed him for it. If that curse had brought misfortune upon him it was the fault of the oppressor of Poland, the judge must know that as well as any body else. He had been a refugee in Galicia, Munich, and Liege. It was not true that he had worked in the latter place as an armourer. He had worked as a mechanist for steam engines, but knew nothing of the manufacture of arms. Came to Paris in 1865, and was employed by MM. Gouin. In June, 1865, having a little money saved, he went to a school, to complete his education ; but his money being soon ex hausted, he left the school, and returned to MM. Gouin. Left their service on May 27 because he was unwell. At the end of May went to Mony in the Oise, and was employed by a Pole of his acquaintance, who was a locksmith. Left his service because he did not know the business well enough. [The judge said this was confirmed by the Pole, who discharged him as a bad workman.] Went to look at the Czar at the Northern Railway station on June 1, in order to see whether he could punish him for what he had done and prevent him from committing the sacrilege of setting his foot on French soil. Not from that moment only, but before he was resolved to kill him. He had long thought of revenging on him the wrongs of his country. He did not exactly think to kill him when he was in Poland; but when he saw the Czar in France, and found it was possible to get near him, he resolved to do it. (Sensation.) The Judgiehere said the jury would observe tha t the prisoner spoke with some hesitation. That was the result of a natural defect in his organs of speech, and they must not suppose it arose from any remorse. M. Arago—He speaks well enough in Polish but not in French Examination continued—Had never confided his project to anyone. He should have been be trayed. The Judge s►id this was very extraordinary a the prisoner had many acquaintances ; but it was true that the investigations of the prosecution had not discovered any accomplices. The prisoner went on to admit all the circum stances of the crime precisely as charged in the indictment. He was led to kill the Czar because he had killed his country. With a stroke of his pen he transported masses of men to Siberia, and he massacred the inhabitants of Warsaw by ahoot ing them down against a wall. He would not admit that the Czar was a fellow creature. His name was not one that could be honoured. Being told that he was not God and had no right to judge sovereigns, he replied :—" I thought that if I let the Czar live God would certainly plunge him into hell at his death ; but by killing him I gave him a chance of expiation, and being happy in the next world." Arago wished the judge to take notice that a foreigner, the head of the Russian police, •'a+ taking notes. The Judge said this was a matter quite extrinsic to the ease. Verdict—" Extenuating circumstances, - and sea tenee—hard labour for life. A Peruvian paper says, " Castilla, the liberator of the slays, the President who abolished capital punish• wait, and the hero of many a fight, is so more. He was upwards of 80 years of age."
