Rouher, accompanying which his Majesty sent the Min ister the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour set in diamonds, has been published :—" Dear DL Rouher,—l send you the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour set in diamonds. Diamonds add nothing to the high esteem in which L have held you for so long a time, but I take this means of publicly giving you a now proof of my confidence and my esteem. In the midst of your many labours, in the midst of the unjust attacks of which you have been the object, a friendly attention on my part will, I hope, cause you to forget the annoyances insepa rable from your position, and to recall to your mind your successes, and the services which you daily render to the country. Receive the assur ances of my sincere friendship. —NAPOLZON." On Saturday the Sultan of Turkey paid a visit to her Majesty at Windsor. He left London at a quarter past eleven, and on the road from Buckingham Palace to the Paddington Station his Imperial Majesty was received by the people with every manifestation of enthusiasm. A guard of honour was drawn up at the Paddington Termi nus, and a royal salute was fired at the departure. The train reached Windsor at noon, where extensive prepara tions had been made in honour of the Sultan. At the station, the front of the Queen's waiting-room was laid with carpet, and decorated with flowers from Mr. Tun ner's royal nursery at Slough. The Queen's carriages awaited the arrival of his Majesty in the station yard, where was drawn up a guard of honour of the Scots Fusilier Guards, with colours and band, and a captain's escort, with standard, of the 2nd Life Guards. There was also another guard of honour of the Seota Fusiliers, with band, in the grand quadrangle, while High-street and Park-street were lined with the rest of the Fusiliers, drawn up under the command of Colonel Hepburn, and extending as far as the top of the Long-walk. I From the gates, at the end of this avenue, fatting the grand entrance of the Castle, between the York and Lancaster Tower'', the 2nd Life Guards, • commanded by Colonel Marshall, were posted on each side of the roadway. The B battery of the C brigade Royal Horse Artillery from Aldershot, under the command of Major Bishop, posted in the park, fired a royal salute on the arrival of the Sultan. Despite the un favourable wiather thousand" of spectators assembled; seats had been prepared upon the roof of the Castle guard room for visitors, commanding a good view of the entry; and along the entire route through the town vast numbers lined the way. The Sultan, who was received at the station by Prince Louis of Hesse and Prince Arthur, was enthusiastically cheered on his arrival and as be drove to Windsor Castle. Her Majesty I rewired the Sultan at the foot of the staircase. at the Sovereign's entrance. She was accom panied by the Princess Louis of Ilene, Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, attended by the Duchess of Wellington and the great officers of state. His Majesty waa then conducted to the White Drawing-room, where he introduced his relatives, his Minister of Foreign Affairs, and his suite. After the presentation luncheon was served in the Oak Room, and shortly afterwards the Sultan returned to town, and dined with the Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace. OVERLAND ROUTE.

In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Reichsrath the Finance Minister, Baron von Beke, made a detailed report on the financial situation of the empire. He reviewed the unhappy situation of the last few years, recapitulating the financial measures that had been executed, and stated that the present debt of Austria was 3,046 millions of florins. The minister then passed to an examina tion of the budget of 1867, and declared that the Hungarian ministry had both the power and the will to meet the portion of the financial contribu tions falling upon Hungary. He regarded the present financial situation, taken as a whole, as unfavour able, but nevertheless hoped it would improve. The settlement of the Hungarian question, although difficult, would yet be carried out, since the neces sity of it was recognised. Its basis was justice, and an equal division of burdens. Economy alone was of no use, if self-government was not carried out. The taxes could not be increased, but must be equally distributed. Reforms in every depart ment of the State were urgently required. Austria had commenced to effect the alterations by strengthening herself in her relations, and she would quickly recover from her difficulties. rrinumbeTedsea7lnfhe two side galleries Flee Shilling. each.

The Prince replied in French,: — I accept, colonel, with pleasure the gift of the Civic Guard of Antwerp, not alone in my name, but in the name of all the volunteers of England. Pray thank the Civic Guard of Antwerp in my name. It wan understood that luncheon was to be offered to all the Belgians, both officers and men, but the accommodation provided was sufficient for only about one-fourth of their number, and they had to wait their turns, until many of them got tired and started fur home, wet and hungry, or were com pelled to be satisfied with such food and drink as they could obtain in the general scramble which took place in the refreshment tent. Some of the more fortunate of their number received hospitable entertainment in the camps of various metropolitan corps, and from many a mesa tent the " sound of revelry " broke pleasantly upon the ear during the afternoon. The London Scottish, after regaling their guests with abundance of creature comforts, amused them with reels, and gratified their musical tastes by a performance upon the bagpipes. In the tent of the Ist London several speeches of a highly flattering and thoroughly cordial nature were delivered both by Englishmen and Belgians ; while the lst Sur rey offered for the amusement of the visitors, some what later in the evening, an illustration of Ic boxe and examples of others of our favourite gymnastic exercises. Some of the Belgians were to remain in camp all night, but the great majority returned to town in the course of the evening.

THE LATE MEETING Or RAILWAY SHAREHOLDERS. —The deputation recently appointed at the meeting of railway shareholders have had an interview with the Pre sident of the Board of Trade, for the purpose of explain ing the grounds of opposition to the " Metropolitan Rail ways Bill, 1867." The deputation was introduced by Lord De Vesci, and consisted of Mr. E. Wright, Mr. H. Goto bed, Mr. J. D. Filder, Mr. James Delabunty, Mr. E. L Herapath, Mr. George Hogartb, Mr. S. Barton, and Mr. W. Ball. Several of these pointed out the great hardship which, in their opinion, would result to shareholders from the bill ; they also contended that the measure would give debenture-holders an undue security, and that railway companies should be dealt by as a different system from that which regulated ordinary trading companies able to convert their capital stock. In reply to a question from the Duke of Richmond, the deputation were unanimous in saying that they would rather see all legislation abandoned this session than the compulsory sale clause carried. The Duke of Richmond said he was obliged for the expression of their opinion, and promised that he would lay the matter before his colleagues.

THE LATE VISIT OF THE CORPORATION OF LONDON To PARIS- —ln the course of the procee lingo at a Court of Common Council on Saturday, the recent visit of the Lord Mayor and a deputation of the corporation was incident ally alluded to. Mr. M'George complained of what be de signated the great want of courtesy exhibited by the Lord Mayor to the members of the corporate body who had ac companied his lordship to Paris on the occas ion of the pre sentation of the address agreed to by the corporation to the Emperor Napoleon. He further complained that the Lord Mayor bad not maintained that dignity which was to be expected from him on such an occasion, and bad certainly not added to his personal appearance by neglecting to wear his official robes. He (Mr. M'George) wee also instructed to state publicly that the Lord Mayor had conducted him self with actual discourtesy to the Lord Provost of Edin ' burgh. He must further add that to the deputation who had accompanied him the Lord Mayor had manifested great want of attention and courtesy, for during the whole of their stay in Paris they had not partaken even of so mach as &glass of water &thin lordship's expense; and lastly, be (Mr. M'George) complained that the address was presented to the Emperor on the Sunday, which was a proceeding wholly repugnant to the feelings of the English nation. The Lord Mayor rose, and with some warmth denied that there was any foundation for the charge which had been made against him of having acted discourteously to the members of the deputation, and be emphatically declared that he had done all in his power to uphold the dignity of the corporation during his stay in Paris, and in doing so he had incurred a large amount of person a l expsnse. 'With regard to the complaint that the address had been presented to the Emperor on the Sunday, all he could say was that he had done all in his power to avoid that course of procedure. He had communicated on the subject with Lord Cowley, the English ambassador in Paris, who had expressed his opinion that it would be much more satisfactory to the Emperor that the address should be presented personally, and it appeared that Sunday was the only day on which such addresses could be presented, and he therefore had no alternative left him. The matter then dropped, and shortly afterwards the court adjourned. THE Pon LAUREATE.—Tennyson, the poet laureate, has purchased a small estate called Green-hill, near Blackdown Hill, Haslemere.

Yesterday afternoon his highness, ►ttended by Nubs,. Paella and accompanied by the Earl of Dudley and other distinguished personages, left Paddington at three o'clock by special tr►in en route for Taplow, in order to visit Clieveden, near Maidenhead, the beautiful residence of the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland, which overhangs one of the most picturesque portions of the Thames. Carriages were in waiting at the Taplow station, which was reached at 3.35 p.m., and in them the illustrious party drove to the grounds. In the evening his highness and the rest of the party rowed down the Thames past Maidenhead and Bray. Prince Teck and the Earl of Dudley, with two other gentlemen, took the oars, the Viceroy, Princess Teck, and two other ladies, sitting in the stern. The boat used by the Viceroy was named the Prince of Wales. Followed by the suite in another boat the party proceeded to Surly Hall, about two miles from Windsor, on the Berkshire side of the Thames. Surly Hall, of Eton celebrity, is an old roadside inn upon the banks of the river. It has • pretty lawn covered with shady trees between the stream and the house, with here and there a rustic seat or two from which the lounger may obtain • view of one of the loveliest rural spots in the kingdom, the sweep of the rush-lined stream adding greatly to the beauty of the scenery. In the long room of this quiet wayside inn, with its walls covered with cues of stuffed animals, birds and ashes, so oft the retreat of many an angler, it was arranged by the Earl of Dudley as an agreeable surprise that the Viceroy should dine. Accordingly the rich silver-gilt service of plate was despatched on Saturday from Dudley House to Surly Hall, and with these massive and valu►ble erns. meets was the humble parlour table and sideboard, deco rated. Covers were laid for 20 guests, the collation being prepared under the care of Mr. Harris, the landlord of the inn, and the domestics of Lord Dudley's establish ment. His highness apparently greatly enjoyed the still ness of the English Sabbath evening. The river reflected the golden light of the setting sun as the Viceroy landed at • few minutes after seven o'clock at old Surly, where • suite of retriing rooms had been prepared. A little crowd of spectators clustered round the landing place, but there well no crowding, and the Viceroy was able to stroll in freedom through the grounds, which join those of The Willows, the seat of Mr. R. Eykyn, M.P. for Windsor. Being the summer resort of the Juba. bitants of Windsor, there were, of course, many pleasure seekers about, but owing to the admirable arrangements of Mr. Inspector Recce, of the Berke constabulary, nothing arose to disturb the privacy of the Pacha, or that of the distinguished persons with him. Dinner was served between seven and eight o'clock in the " long room," the guests using the ordinary Windsor chairs, the usual furniture of the apartment. His highness and party after dinner proceed to Windsor, and returned to London by the Gre►t Western line. His Highness the Viceroy honoured Her Majesty's Theatre with a special visit on Saturday evening. He was attended by his Excellency Raghib Pasha (President of the Egyptian Assemblyl , his Excellency Huber Pasha (Mi nister of Foreign Affairs), Toles! Pasha (Chief of his High ness's Council), Haasam Pasha, and Rise Pasha. Major- General Francis Seymour, C.B. (Groom in Waiting to her Majesty), who is specially attached to the service of his Highness the Viceroy while in this country, was also in attendance; as was also Colonel Stanton, C. 8., of the Royal Engineers (her Majesty's Consul-General for Egypt.) A. special Court of Common Council was held on Satur day at the Mansion-house, to consider a motion by Mr. R. N. Fhillipps, that an address be presented to his Highness the Pasha of Egypt, in • Basket of the mine of fio guineas. There was a numerous attendance of members of the court Mr. R. N. Philippe, in proposing the motion, referred to the great assistaoce that had been rendered to the commerce of this country by the Pasha, and to the great advantages derived by this country from having the means of communicating with India. He also observed upon the fact that the present ruler of Egypt had endeavoured to advance civilisation by every moms in his power, and he The match of the Lords and Commons came off in the afternoon ; the firing was much interrupted by the heavy thunderstorm, but the match was shot off with great skill. It was watched by a large number of persons, who took the liveliest interest in it, and were not to be driven from the ground by fear of a wet skin. The Lords beat the Commons at the 200 range, but fell short at the 500. Mr. Fordyce and Lord Elcho scored the highest pos sible number at the longer range, and Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Bass were not far behind them. Lord Wharneeliffe made a mistake in his second innings ; he managed to secure a bull's eye in the wrong target by his fifth shot, and conse quently scored nothing. The accuracy of the shooting in this match cannot be better described than by observing that the Lords' score only fell 35 short of the highest pos. aible number of points, and the Commons' but 29.

At 11 o'clock Divine service was performed in the bell tent, which was attended by the volunteers, sol diers, police , and officials on the ground. The band f the Victories attended, and accompanied the choral parts ci• the service. The sermon was preached by the Itev. Charles Kingsley, who took his text from the 24th chapter of Numbers, 9th verse—" He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion ; who shall stir him up! Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that cuteeth thee." The sermon was listened to with great attention, and a hymn having been sung, the benediction was pro nounced, and the vast assembly quietly separated. THE BELGIANS AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. —Although the executive of the Central Belgian Hemp tion Committee bad no arrangement of an official cha racter in their programme of entertainments for yesterday. being Sunday, it was generally understood that the council of the Zoological Society of London had notified their intention of throwing open their gardens in the Re gent'epark to our Belaian guests. An intimation to this effect wan therefore only necessary to be forwarded to the heal-quarters of the Curd Civique at the Grosvenor, and to that of the Chasaeurs Eclariens and Volunteers at the Westminster Palace Hotel, to ensure proper infuria tion being conveyed to each member of the contingent. Being left to the bent of their own desires, many attended mass during the morning at the respective Roman catholic chapels, others Divine service at Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, and other churches. An early, however, as 10 o'clock large nu.nlyers presented themselves at the entrances of the Zoological gardens, and were at once admitted. The demand for admission by orders of Fellows of the Zoological Society for many days past bad been so great that it was anticipated that yesterday would produce the largest att-ndance at the gardens ever known on a Sunday ; but, whether arising from the appa rently unse.tled state of the weether ornot it is impossible to say, although many thou Lands were present during the afternoon, there was by no means so large an assembly as was anticipated. The Belgians, however, availed them selves of the privilege accorded them, and it is believed that during the day at least 2,000 of them passed through the gardens. Large numbers were attired in what is de scribed by English volmteers as "mufti"—civilian costume —the only distinguishing mark being the English badge suspended by its dark blue Abend from the breast of the coat. This was equally a passport with the Belgian uni form. Others appeared in semi-military costume, wearing their undress outs and kepis, with white waistcoats and coloured or black pantaloons. The Sultan's nephew paid a visit to the gardens in the afternoon. The gardens ge nerally, as well as their contents, seemed to excite great pleasure and admiration amongst the Belgians. By seven o'clock the large mass of the Belgians had left the ground, highly gratified by their visit. The 3rd Battalion of the Lancashire Royal Volunteers have recently been encamping near Lytham, and on Sunday, the 7th inst., at the suggestion of C,olonel Hargreaves, the commanding officer of the battalion, Chaplain Canon Parker preached a sermon on behalf of the National Lifeboat Institatioa, which resulted in the hand some sum of 201. 10e. being handed to the society. We may add that last year a similar collection was made for the institution at the kind request of Colonel Har greaves, when the sum of sixteen genius was contributed by his officers sad men. The Dramatic College Fate hue certainly had to contend this year against unusual diasilvantages. With the almost simultaneous arrival of the Viceroy of Egypt, the Belgian volunteers, and the Sultan, so many festivi ties are taking place that the actors' revels at the Crystal Palace appeal to • public which has already almost as many pleasure engagements on hand as it can well fulfil. Then, too, on Saturday the weather proved any thing but • faithful ally. The morning opened heavily, and as the day advanced deepening gloom told of a coming storm. At a little before three in the afternoon, when many were on the way to the Palace and others so doubt were about to start, there was a perfect tempest of rain and hail, accompanied by vivid flashes of forked lightning and loud seals of thunder. Rain, too, fell again afterwards, though not to the same extent. For tunately, an incident occurred during the afternoon which gave an interest to the Fete altogether special and unex pected. At about half•past four the Viceroy of Egypt paid a visit to the Palace, and taking up a place in one of the royal boxes erected opposite the great orchestra found himself in the very midst of the festivities. The novelty of the scene seems at once to have imprinted his imagination. In a very short time it was announced by Mr. Henley, one of the directors, that his highness had given 50W. to the restoration fend of the Crystal Palace, and another SOW, to the Dramatic College. Nor did his generosity stop here. Specially observing one of the young actresses who go about on these occasions with baskets on their arms selling bottles of scent or flowers to fascinated visitors, the Viceroy made • trifling purchase of her, and in payment for it banded over the very respectable sum of fifty sovereigns. After this display of Oriental gallantry and munificence it was mere prudence perhaps on the part of his highness to withdraw at once, and so avoid all chance of still further succumbing to the allurements which threatened him on every side. The amusements of the day were of the usual character, and of the usual variety. To-day (Monday) the " Revels^ will continue, the price of admission being as usual reduced. THE FORTHCOMING NAVAL REVIEW. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 14. The Channel squadron, under the command of Rear- Admiral Frederick Warden, returned to Spithesd at day light yesterday morning from Dover, the iron-clads being accompanied on their return by the Liverpool. 35, wooden screw frigate, Captain John Seccombe, and the Phoebe, RI, wooden screw frigate, Captain John Bythesea. It is not probable, scarcely indeed possible, that the Princess Royal and Scylla can arrive from China to take part in the review, so that the whole of the fleet may be considered as having assembled at Spithead, only a few of the gunboats still remaining in Portsmouth harbour. A. little change has been made since We nesday in the position of the wooden two-deckers, and the ships now lie in the following order, when swinging with their heads to the eastward :—ln-shore lines : Terrible, Gladiator, Heli con, Nymphe, and Daphne ; Lee, Orwell, and Pigeon, and smaller gunboats. Port division : Victoria, Donegal, Revenge, Duncan, Irresistible, Lion, St. George, Royal George, Mersey, Liffey Liverpool, Phoebe, Sutlej, and Dauntless. Starboard d ivision: Minotaur, Achilles, War. rMr, Black l'riuce, Bellerophon, Lord Clyde, Valiant, Pallas, Royal 'sovereign, Prince Albert, Wivern, Research, Vixen, Viper, and Waterwitch. A Danish iron-clad screw frigate arrived at Spitheed on Saturday afternoon, and an Italian corvette arrived this morning. The Earl of Portsmouth has given a piece of land for • building to provide religious worship for the poorer classes at Andover in Hants. The land will be vested in trustees, and the building placed ur.der the direction of a committee, partly consisting of members of the Church of England, and partly of Nonconformists. The religious instruction proposed is of • purely unsectorian character. ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A THEATRE. —On Thurs day night • diabolical attempt was made to blow up the theatre at Exeter. The representative of Mr. Belton, the lessee, visited the place at eight o'clock, and 140, that everything was safe. Two hours afterwards a little girl who lives in the house attached to the theatre noticed a light inside the pit door. She gave an alarm, and the police, with some persons connected with the theatre, arrived. It was then discovered that the Rs.. had been turned on in all parte of the house, and two burners at the pit and box entrances lit. Had this continued two hours longer • terrible explosion must have occurred. Five persons occupied the theatre house, and there are a number of other dwellings in the immediate vicinity. The keys of the doors at the box-entrance, which were hung just inside, were missing, and they must have been stolen while the pit door was open in the day. The deed must have been perpetrated by some one well acquainted with the premises, and suspicion attaches to a person for merly connected with the theatre. CAPTURE OF A FENIAN LEADER.. —A capture was made on Satunlay of another leader in the Fenian movement. He is known as General Fariols, an Italian by birth, and lately • general in the Federal army. arA has, it is said, been busy as one of the principal pro moters in the Fenian movement. He is a most intimate friend of Stephens. On Saturday he was taken on a war rant issued by the Irish government. The capture was effected by Inspector Williamson and Sergeant Clarke, of Sootland.yard, as the prisoner was walking along Oxford street. He has been on the Continent keeping out of the way for over three months. The prisoner was intimate with General Alpin, who was apprehended • short time ago, with Colonel Kelly, who is still at large, and other radars in the movement. He is to be sant to Dublin. I I ..A
