LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 9. .AN exhibition such as has not hitherto been attempted on a large scale is opened to the public this morning, at the Agricultural Hall, Islington. There, where lately the animals which minister most to the strength and pride of man were shown—where Durham; and short-horns were arrayed in sleek beauty, and the racehorse and hunter paraded before admiring thousands—a Donkey Show is now to be held. Why not f The ass is probably an older friend of man than the horse. He was earlier domesticated, and lived laborious days while his disdainful neighbour was disporting himself in idleness and liberty. Even now in the greater part of the world, including those countries where both animals are seen together in perfection, the ass is the beast of industrious civil life, while the horse is reserved for the purposes of ostenta tion and war. Not that the us cannot be proud, too, upon due encouragement. Sir JoaN CHARDIN observed that in his day the seam of Arabia " had " smooth, clean costa, carried their heads " aloft, and had fine, well-formed legs, " which they threw out gracefully in walk " ing or gallopping :" • description which it seems difficult to connect with the species to which the abused and degraded donkey of our back slums belongs. Western Asia has always been the favoured country of the ass, which flourishes best in a warm climate, attaining there to • greater size, and so quiring with it an easier pace and more graceful action than elsewhere. Of the original type of the animal we know nothing, for it teems that the wild asses, specimens of which are found in me nageries and the collections of amateur naturalists, are, like the wild horses of the prairies, descendants of domestic azi;maht that have escaped from cap tivity. In this state they do not entirely cease to be useful to man, who confers on them the rank of beads of chase, to be hunted and eaten. The Boers of the Cape and the Tartars of the Steppes show an equal partiality to their flesh. As a useful companion of man the am exhibits various degrees of capacity, which are proportioned very much to the treatment he receives. The Eastern sales become under neglect and ill-usage more and more diminutive and dispirited, until, as in some parts of India, they are not much larger than Newfoundland dogs, and are seen in droves carry ing the clay of the pot-maker or the equipage of troops of gipsies. Even in Spain, where the monks ride asses twice as large as those used in thin• country, their stature varies considerably. The promote-s of the Islington exhibition do not aspire to exercise any great influence over the breeding of the ass. At present they will be con tent if they can secure better treatment for him such as he is. In this country of energetic labour and fierce competition, it is only the humbler classes of society that can find a place for him in the economy of their working life, and accordingly it is chiefly in their hands that he is seen. They need a strong beast of burden, which can endure exposure and hardships, and perform much work while costing little for maintenance, and in the ass they tied exactly what they require. It is to be regretted that the treatment which the animal receives is often harsh and severe. This does not always, or we would hope even generally, imply cruelty on the part of the owners, some of whew might doubtless say, in their pensive moods— It never was io my soul To pl►y so ill a part, But evil is wrought by want of thought As well as want of heart. Much of the ill-treatment which the ass sustain is due to the ingrained belief in his natural stupidity. The cudgel is resorted to because it is regarded as the only efficient instrument of instruction. Thus the animal is hardened until his utter want of such intelligence as man is willing to concede to the lower animals has become a byeword. SHAKESPEARE mentions him a hundred times as • type of patient stolid intractability, and with the Greeks and It mums his stupidity was a proverb. In patriarchal times, however, his name was not one of reproach, else one of " the world's grey "fathers" could not have said complacently of his son, in an hour of Semitic intuition, " Is.sAcHas "is a strong ass," an expression which commentators have taken as a prediction of the laborious, patient character of the future tribe, not with out a certain allusion to the Dutch kind of public policy which prosperity and a peculiar addiction to material interests would lead it to pursue. There must, no doubt, be some good ground for an opinion which has prevailed wherever the ass has been brought under the judgment of the more energetic races of mankind. It is re markable that that opinion has been most adverse where circumstances, and particularly a cold cli mate, have been unfavourable to the animal. The ass was an extremely rare animal in England even WI late as in the days of Queen ELIZABETH, and has always appeared among us at disadvantage. His reputed natural stupidity, however, is a po pular error. Every good work on natural history TSB abounds with i'luatrations of his groat intelligent* as shown in the adaptation of means to soda. A number of these may be found in the admirable work of the Rev. J. G. WOOD, who observes, " The us is truly one of the cleverest of our " domesticated animals, and will lose no oppor " tunity of displaying his capability whenever " his intelligence is allowed to expand by being " freed from the crushing toil that are too often " the concomitants of a donkey's life." 111-treat ment drives the animal to a passive resistance which is thoughtlessly put down to stupidity, but not the less punished as perverseness. An attempt is now made to turn the attention of those who have most to do with the sea to the good qualities which lie latent in him, and which may be deve loped and improved under proper treatment. The costermonger, the sweep, the small coal merchant, and other donkey-masters will be encouraged to visit the Agricultural Hall this week, and see specimens of the ass as he exists under favourable circum stances. The Prince of WALES takes part in the work by sending one of the aristocracy of the species obtained from Egypt. Ownem of donkeys who have treated their beasts well, and are there fore able to exhibit them in a good condition, are to rece've prizes. This is a very praiseworthy movement, and perhaps the ludicrous aspect in which it will doubtless appear to some minds may not be without its advantages in securing an additional amount of public attention. However this may be, we wish the endeavour all the success which its authors can desire. THE O'CONNELL MONUMENT IN DUBLIN. (nox OUR ows coassaronarr.) DUBLIN, MOYD*2 Ensnto. The first stone of the intended O'Connell monu ment was laid to-day by the Lurd Mayor, on the site granted by the corporation at the squtheio extremity of Sitckville-street. The demonstration was the greatest that has ever taken place in Dublin, and the conduct of the people was moat orderly and quiet The procession started r. 12 o'clock from Stephen's-green, where the several trades of the city bad assembled from an early hour, with their bands and tie banners of their respective guilds. The persons who took part in the procession wore green sashes, roseLles, and ribbons, and many of the people who thronged the streets were similarly decorated. Amongst those who took part in the procession were the Roman catholic primate, Dr. Dixon Archbishop Cullen, Archbishop Leahy, and several other Roman catholic prelates. Starting from Stephen's-green, the procession passed through the prin cipal streets ca Dublin to Sackville-street, where the,first stone was laid at about five o'clock, by the Lord Mayor, in the presence of a vast assemblage. The windows along the line of the procession were crowded with spectators, and all the shops were closed.

Lord Palmerston arrived at Lightcliffe yesterday evening. His lordship had come from Loudon to Wakefield by an °edits'', train by the Great Northern, and pro oesded tbenosby a special train to Lightelitle, vial Axiality ' and Laister Dyke. As he alighted from the train he was received by Mr. IL H. Ripley and his sou, Mr. Edward Ripley. Leaning upon the arm of Mr. H. H. Ripley, bis lordship, who appeared rather fatigued, left the up platform, and crossed the line amidst the load cheering of a large crowd who had assembled to witners his arrival. He passed through • long line of persons to the highway, and was there conducted to Mr. Ripley's carriage. The crowd greeted his lordship heartily as he passed along the road, one man on • wall shouting "Europe's hope sad England's glory." Lord Palmerston frequently raised hie hat in acknowledgment of these warm and cordial greetings. The departure of the carriage towards Holme-house waa the signal for another loud and hearty burst of cheering. Dist evening Mr. Ripley entertained his lordship and a select party, including the Week Riding sad several borough members, at dinner. This morning, Lord Palmerston will rrooeed, with Mr. Ripley and other gum* in pi irate carriages, to Bradford, by way of Bank-foot, Rooley-lane, Cutler-heights, and Bradford moor, to Peel-perk.

The committee of the Nightingale Fund met at 5, Clifford-street, au the 27th July, obeys the acrusal so manta and reports for the year ending the 24th June were presented. It appeared that fifteen probationers were ander training at St. Thomas's Hospital, for permanent hospital nurses. Eight had completed their probationary term during the past year. two had been dismissed, and one had resigned. Altogether 34 probationers had left the school to take ter vice in various hospitals and billet:nein. The demand fur trained bospital omen had increased, and was even greater than could be supplied, but a suffi ciency of well•qualified candidates was not always forth coming. The committee had no difficulty is Ending tans . Mona for their trained nurses at competeot salaries. At King's College Hospital, udder the superintendence of the autl orities of the St. John's-hounsTraioing Institution for Nurses, the school for training midwifery nurses to be employed exclusively among the poor had made mtialactory progress. Tea women had completed their training during the part year. Than were employed nearly all in country parishes with the sanction of the resident clergy and medical men, and either ceder their immediate direction or that of some resident lady. In some cases individuals, and in others the Parochial Minion Aasociatioe, bad become responsible for their maintenasce. _ _ _ _ The revalatoes for the aim imion of candidates of both cl 'sees, and as other information, may be obttuned from the •Ocretap, 11, Lombard-street, K.C.

This morning witnessed a moat agreeable termination to the long-cos. tinned drought. During the early part of yesterday hopes were entertaioird that rain was then about to descend, but as the d■y advanced they were diaripated, and the sky Is the evening afforded no presage of the much-desired shower. This morning, however, at about half-past 7, there com menced a copious though gentle rainfall which has con tinued almost Momently ever since ; sod this soorptable change probably extends, at all events, to a ocesidwable distance round the metropolis. The parks of London sod the gelds of the suburbs have for the last two or throe weeks bees almost totally devoid of herbage ; the leaves of the trees, with which the metropolis abounds in many dis tricts., have, owing to the same cense, been falling preen , turely for want of moisture, and nothing could hare been more welcome thas the arrival of rein after each a lengthened interval of unmitigated and oppressive drought.

" We learn," says the Minsorial Diplonsatique, " that the steamer which left Southampton on the Lt had among her passengers a Frenoh cabinet courier, the bearer of letters of congratulation addressed by Napoleon 111. to Maximilian L on the subject of the warm reception of which his Majesty was the object ever since his landing at Vera Cruz. We are also able to announce that the Emperor Maximilian I. intends to institute a new order of knighthood on the occasion of his accession to the throne of Montezuma. The designs of the new decorations have been sent to Paris, and M. Enmity, purveyor to his Imperial Majesty, has received orders to execute the models." those whoa. duty it is to interpret the law, and those, too, who home been mute legislators by universal suffrage, and who have sworn obedience to the Emperor and the imperial institutions. This discourse closed the proceedings of the first day, the sth of August, and on the following morn ing, at 10 o'clock, the court crowded to excess, M. Jules Fevre MSS to defend M. Gamier Pages. I will only give a summary of his brilliant ad dress, which was listened to with the liveliest in terest, and frequently interrupted by bursts of ap plause, which were speedily checked. All transla tions but feebly express the original. He could not, he said, avoid a feeling of deep sorrow on rising to answer the Procureur-Imperial : I ask myself where we are and whither we are hastening? When I cast a retrospective glance at the last 60 years, when I recall the great deeds of our fathers and what sacrifices we have made, what torrents of blood we have shed to guard them, the question at once secure, is not the theory of progress a mad and bitter derision ? Is it possible that what we have always regarded as the very essence of that primordial right on which reposes the existence of peoples, that which is inherent to human personality, its heart, its life, its coal—in a word, its thought, the revelation of its ' being—that all this should have no possible application before the pretext of an offence, and that men most highly esteemed, men honoured by the mandate of the people, emir/mid as criminals, and threatened in their liberties and fortunes ? And, as if this sad subversion of all our ideas of human dignity wee not sufficient, it has been necessary, is order to complete the legal number, short of which this indietment could not have been preferred—it has been neces sary, I say, to outrage both common sense and equity, and to go so far as to invert the most elementary salsa of arithmetic. Such is the spectacle presented to us to-day. Am I not justified in saying it is calculated to sadden the hearts of these who have still some faith in the progress of enlightenment and liberty ? But I take confideom ; these are but passing terrors which the country will not long endure. For myself I have a right to exercise and • duty to acoomplish. He then proceeded to warn the government of the folly of this prosecution, and of the poor ' figure it would cut in Europe when these things became known. A government which professed to be so strong, which disposed of all power, which ordered the elections at its own convenience, and then put in motion its vast army of fnuctionaries, was not content with all this, but must take away from the elector his primordial right, as the exercise of it was dangerous to the state. It appeared incredible that so strong a government could proceed in such a fashion, and accuse his clients of creating a kind of imperium in intperio, a sort of occult government ; as if the whole county did not know of it—as if the circu lars of this secret power were not scattered broad cast throughout the land. Every man had put his name to what he had done, which was not precisely the way secret associations acted when they desired to undermine the government. The next step, said K Fevre, was to make a descent upon the houses of the suspected men ; to take possession—in their presence or their absence, it mattered not—of all their papers and of all their private correspondence. The letters of the husband to his wife, of the mother to her daughter—all are ransacked, and the laws of decency and modesty are put aside for the barren pleasure of searching for that which cannot be found because it does not exist. After much more in the same style, K Favro very happily quoted Louis Napoleon to prove that in this matter of respect for the sacred character of a private dwelling France was far inferior to England, and would remain so until such profana tions ceased to exist. He then applied himself to the law of the case, and proved in a masterly manner that the Emperor owed his own position to these electoral committees, not composed like his clients of 13 members but of 160, and that in all times freedom had been given to these committees. It was impossible in France, under the influence of universal suffrage, to remain in solitude. Surely one man might ask advice and guidance from another. Might he not, for instance, take counsel with the illustrious' Berryer, with his talented friend Ernest Picard, with his excellent and learned brothers &nerd and Arago ; then we should be five or six ?—" Well, then, some of oar younger contemporaries wish to join us, in order that they too may get light and guidance ; then we mount up to 10, 12, or 15. Ah ! we begin to border upon an association, and if this happened out of election times, what would happen to us ? Yet, what crime am 1 guilty of ? What have I done ? I am a man, and free ; but if you prevent my doing what I have just said with my friends, lam no longer anything. I contend, therefore," Le con tinued, " that the law interpreted textually, or in any other way, politically or philosophically, is not opposed to an electoral committee as organised by my client." Many other points were gone over, and a warm tribute of admiration was paid by K Favre to his client Gamier Pa& and his co-accused, in that although 2,300 letters and papers were seized, not one word in aoy of them was calculated to cause a tlnsh or to make any of them wish a sentence unwritten. None but the noblest sentiments were to be found in any of their letters, public or pri vate. After saying that it would be a sad spec tacle if a condemnation were pronounced on those ' whose only crime was their love for right and law, who were honoured and honourable amongst the most honoured and honourable of France, he OM. eluded by saying : But it will mot be so ; I em fortified by the presence of the illustrious Berryer, the greatest of °ratan, the noblest. minded of men ; of Marie, wbo has so well mewed his country; of Seoard, the courageous President of the Ns. teasel Assembly, who bared his breast before the bayonet' of the Mserreetioe ; of two ministers (Pitg4 and Carnet) of the government of July. Oh !in the pewee, of such men, sustained by their example, animated by their breath, I take courage, aid I say that is • country which has given birth to men like these, liberty is im periehable. Let us, then, be comforted ; we an regard the passing cloud without anxiety, it will not aeons the M. Favre, who until the conclnsion seemed strong and vigorous, inspired no doubt by his en thusiasm, then sunk down perfectly exhausted. The scene at the close of his speech is not easily described. Even the venerable Berryer was deeply affected, and others flung themselves on his neck and were much moved. The sensation was immense. After a pause M. Berryer, still visibly excited, rose and said he spoke for all his colleagues, who desired him to declare that after the exhaustive and brilliant pleading of M. Fevre they could find nothing in their hearts or understandings that could add to the truth, the grandeur, and the nobility of this defence ; banes they all yielded their right to be heard. "We are oon vinced," added M. Berryer, "that there is not a judge in one country that can pronounce a condemnation." M. Berryer was mis taken, for after five hours' deliberation the tri bunal condemned the 13 to a fine of 500 francs each for having been members of an unlawful associa tion. And so ended this celebrated trial. The excessive heat renders people peacefully disposed, so we are told to-day that England and France never were on better terms, and both are decided upon doing nothing warlike. The Emperor arrived at St. Cloud last evening, and will probably remain there until after the visit of the King of Spain. It is not impossible he may pay a flying visit to Chalons, and talk over Algerian matters with Marshal M'Mahon, who i n to replace Peliasier in that still unsettled country•. The Bishop of Perpignan, M. Gerb6t, died suddenly yesterday. The Bourse was tat to-day. Bente COL 20c. THE PRINCE OF WALES AT THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM, OLD RENT• ROAD. INAUGURATION OF THE PRINCE CONSORT'S STATUE.—(THIS DAY.) The statue which has been erected iu the grounds of this asylum to the memory of the late Priem Consort was uncovered this morning in the presence of the Prince of Wales, who is patron of the institution. Notwithstanding the uncomfortable state of the weather (for the welcome rain had at least that drawback), the road to the asylum presented a very gay sod animated appear. an«. At intervals flags were displayed, and large crowds were collected at every point where& good view of the royal carriage might be obtained. Inside the grounds there was a very large attendance of ladies and gentleman, for whose amusement the band of the Life Guards played a selection of favourite airs during the morning. At 10 =Mutes put 12 his royal highness arrived, attended by Lord Mount- Edgeumbe, Lieutenant-General Knollys, sad Major Teesdale. His royal highness was received by guard of honour of the Honourable Artillery Company. Oa alighting from hie carriage, his royal highness was welcomed by the chairman, trustees, awl governors of the asylum, the chaplain, the secretary, and the medical officer, and was conducted by them into the chapel, from which be was escorted by a procession, flanked on the one side by the inmates of the asylum and on the other by the children of the Licensed Victuallers' Schools, to visit the " Albert Wing," and inspect the stogie laid by his revered father so short a time before his death. After this be was conducted to a dais which was erected behind the statue. The members of the Licensed Victuallers Choral Association, accompanied by the baud of the Grenadier Guards, then sang an appro. prints chorale, the music of which had been composed by the late Prince Cousort. The Board of Minegemeot and the Members of the Memorial Committee then came forward, and the Secretary read the following address : ' "Hay it please your Royal Highness,—The institution which your royal highness has this day coudemended to visit, is an asylum where the aged, infirm, and decayed members of the trade of Licensed Victualler. are enabled to pass the evening of their days in humble, yet in respectable retirement. Founded in lte27, this asylum has ever some been honoured by row , patronage • his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex having bei;ei its earliest patron and liberal benefactor ; by whom also the first stone of this edifice was laid on the kb May, 1828. It was left, however, for your royal highners's beloved and lamented father to complete the work which his illustrious predecessor hod hernia. In the year 1F.4.1, his Royal Highness the late Prince Consort deigned to bestow upon this iostitation his royal favour, by consenting to be come its patron; sad io 1849 first honoured it wish his irt. sence. Many of us,olost illustrious Prinos.recal with pride the events of that memorable day when your royal father laid the society under so deep an obligation, by his gracious con descension is laying the foundation atone of that portion of this asylum which is styled ' The Ladies' Wing ; and many more delight to revive the recollection of that second visit with which their late patrol honoured them, when, on the 23rd duos. 1858, he, wee pleased to woofer upon this institution a 'hailer mark of his royal favour, by is auguuttiog the erection of another por t ion of this building, which is called after his re vered and cherished name The Albert Wimp' Wbeo, however ' moat noble Prince, it pleased Almighty God to take to himself that great and good Pewee, your royal parent, it was felt, not only by the bawd of manage. meet, but by the trade with which they are connected, that it was due to the memory of so beloved a benefactor. that some memorial should be placed upon the grounds of this institution, which might stand for all ages, as a moan. meat of hie many virtue...ad of his various acts of gracious condescension. The work, most illostrione Prince, was at once commenced, and before twelve months had passed, this statue was erected to his memory—a status which hereafter every licensed victualler will look upon with pride, as re calling the name and the many gracious acts of one of the best of prioora sod most revered of besefacton. The board of management have felt, most noble Prism, that a work, which in the carrying out has been to all of them a ' labour of love,' needed nothing hut your royal presence to bring it to a triumphant completion. They therefore approached our royal highness, and humbly sought at your hands that mark of royal favour which you have to-day seen fit to bestow upon them •, sod now they respectfully solicit, in the name of the subscribers at large, that your royal highest* , will be _plowed to command that the memorial be un covered." His royal highness accordingly directed the drapery with which the statue bed been shrouded from the public gas to be removed. The figure, it may be stated, is of pure Carrara marble, sod is upwards of eight feet high ; the pe destal on which it reek heiog a solid block of Sicilian marble the weight of which is ten tons, and its height a little over six feet, the whole standing upon a granite base of a kn ead-a-half in thickset's. The memorial itself is masw quietly little short of 16 feet in height. His royal high. ages is represented in the costume in which be appeared when hying the fousdatioo stone of the Albert wing, sod is in the act of replying to the address which was then presented to him ; one hand is resting on a part of a Corinthian column ; the other holds a stroll. Oa the west tablet there is the following inscription—" Erected A.D. 1863, as a Lathing Tribute of Respect to the Memory of Albert the Good." On the south tablet—" 11.R.H.A1bert Francis Augustus Charles Emanuel, the Prince Consort, Patna of the Institution, horn 26th August, 1819; died 14th December, 1861." Oo the north tablet.—" Inaugurated by H.R.H. the Prime of Wales, patron of the instal. Lion, August 9, 1864." On the east tablet are the smog of H.R.H., quartered with them of her Majesty. The memorial, which was designed and executed by Mr. Thos. Earle, of Vinomitatrest, Brampton, has eon between 600 and 700 guineas. While the ceremony of uncovering the statue was taking place the following chorus, adapted from Handes oratorio of Solomon was sung: Swell the full Chorus to Albert's high praise, Record him, ye bards • as the pride of onr days, Flow sweetly the numbers that dwell on Ids same, And rouse the whole nation In songs to his fame. The Chairman, Mr. Joate Came, this approached the dear sad presented the following address to the Prince of Wales: " May it plasm your Royal Higbee, Mom Illustrious Patron,—We the Chairman. Trustees, and Governors of this asylum, beg permission to approach your august person, for the purpose of expressing to your royal highness oar high mole of the lasting obligation which you have laid us under by the distinguished honour which you have this slay oreferred upon us.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by their infant son Prince Albert Victor, arrived at Marlborough House yesterday evening from Osborne Cottage, Isle of Wight. The appearance of the royal canines at the arrival plat form, Waterloo Station, which was reselsd a few minutes after 6, csneed mazy persons to assemble, but through the admirable arrangements mode by the company's 1101 rents, i assisted by Inspector Walker, of the royal household police, and Inspector Young, of the L division, that portion of the platform opposite to which the saloon au.iage stopped was kept quite clear,and the prim:sand princess pissed to their car riage without the leestinconvenience. Although much anxiety was evinced to see the Prince and nooses of Wales, when the young Prince Albert Victor was seen to be conveyed across the platform in his none's arms, the excitement greatly increased, particularly amongst the female portion of the spectators. They could be soareelv restrained from breaking the bounds assigned them. It was noticed with pleasure that the young prince looked exceedingly well, and seemed to be particularly lively and animated. It was evident, also, by the hue of the complexion, th►t fresh air and sunshine were no atrangers to him. In a few missiles the royal carriages were set in motioo, and Marl borough House was reached sit Westminater•bridgs shortly before half-past 6. The Hos. Mrs. Stoner and Major Teesdale were is wait ing oa their royal highnesses. The Prince and Primulas of Wales will not leave town for Scotland until to-morrow. The arrival of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the 'Priam of Hesse at Torquay re Friday evening created, as may be supposed, so little excitement in that beautiful watering place. Their royal highnesses, after visiting her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Mule of Ramis., drove through the toga. By six o'clock the news had spread very widely, and some tbousaads of persons came down to the quays to see their highnesses em bark in the tarp for the royal steam yacht Victoria. The Princes, it would appear, were averse to rannieg the gauntlet of so many loyal and enthusiastic Englishmen, and accord (ugly made a detour by driving on to kleadfoot-beaeb, from whence a boat took them to the yacht. On Saturday morn. jag the Victoria weighed anchor, and steamed on towards Dartmouth. The yacht returned to Torbay at eleven I o'clock in the foregoes, and anchored sear the Great Hoek, off Meadfoot, where some lines had been laid down the night before, at hi Royal Highness's request, in order that be might witness a little of the deep-sea fishing of Torbay, of which occupation Lord Willoughby D'Ereeby is passionately fond. The boats ware hoisted out, and the I'rince of Wales in his barge watched the operation of hauling in the tab. Several cougar were taken, amongst them a monster, and his Royal Highness was evidently much amused. The fib were then taken on board, and the Prince having returned to the yacht the anchor was weighed, and the Victoria 'teamed away rapidly to the eastward. The Queen has, in the most gracious manner, forwarded to Captain Cowper P. Colas, R.N., through Cap tain his Serene Highness the Prince leanings's, R.N., a beautifully executed statuette is breeze of his late Royal Highness the Prima Consort. In the letter accomp►nying the statuette Prince Leiniogen sap the Queen desires him to express to Captain Coles the great pleasure she expo• rieoced on her visit to the Royal Sovereign, fitted on Cap• taro Coles's principle, in which his late Royal Highness the lamented Prince Coined felt a deep intere3t. The statuette I of the prioce her Majesty wished Captain Coles to accept as • souvenir of her riot to the Royal Sovereign. Pantos ALFBILD.—The Kelm Mail says :—" The intention of Prince Alfred's visit to Norway was to join his Grace the Duke of Rozburgbe, and enjoy a few days' sport in salmon-fishiag upon the water. leased by his grace, which attend to about three miles. The Prime is a keen angler, end his taste for this kind of sport received a very great impetus by his two visits to the Tweed. Those visits, we have no doubt, led to the present engagement to meet the Duke at Norway ; and our only hope is that the Prince bas been as successful in hie attack upon the Norway streams as he was upon the Tweed. The Racoon is ordered to visit Iceland ere returning home ; and we believe there is a probability of the Duke accompanying his royal highness there, and then returning to this country in the Racoon about the beginning of September."

The draft of a petition to the Sleswig-Holstein Commissioners was submitted for signature to the meeting. The petition explained the necessity of, and demanded a common government for, Sleawig- Holstein, under the protection of Prussia, and dwelt upon the importance of the closest union with that power. After an animated discussion, five of the assembly, viz., Ahlefeld of Olpenitz, Count Baudissen, %neap, Luikner of Schuleuburg, and the Cloister-Provost Ablefeld of Rantzau and Rohlstorf, refused to sign the petition.

Carnot, which I mentioned yesterday, the remaining 11 accused were questioned by the President, and they admitted generally that they had been members of electoral committees of different kinds which were composed of less than 20 members. The last of the accused who was examined was M. Dory, a highly esteemed and very able barrister of Marseilles, who ex pressed his profound surprise at having the honour of sitting by the side of his co-accused, " as I have no idea," said he, " why or of what I am accused." " It is true," he continued, "my papers were seized and ransacked, and I bud them scattered about amongst the papers in the indictment, but which particular one has brought me here I cannot con ceive. I was president of a committee at Mar seilles, but I beg it may be well understood that Marseilles is quite independent of Paris, and neither asks nor receives advice from that quarter. If I had been accused of stealing the towers of Notre Dame I could not have been more surprised than I was when I found myself included in this procie." _ _ _ This ended the examinations, and then, after a quarter of an hour's rest, M. Mather, acting for the Procurenr-Imperial (Attorney-General), rose to state the case against the delinquents. He said— The question at issue was, whether an electoral committee, organised and acting as he would sub sequently explain, was or was not au illegal associa tion. The political side of the question was not within the competence of that court ; but it was well to explain that the Legislative Body had affirmed, in a discussion raised in the house by M. Gamier Paghs last May, the conduct of the govern ment, and declare I by the month of the President of the Conseil d'Etat, that the action of the government had been "laudable, patient, and calculated to inspire confidence." He then proceeded to define the law touching associations, which law, he said, b►d been plainly violated by the accused who bad acted in all the elections, as proved by their own correspondence, as the direct ing agents of a vast committee, which sought to control and regulate both the caudidateehips and everything else connected with the elections. Coming to the material point of the committee not exceeding twenty persons, K Mather contended that all those who contributed pecuniarily to the committee, who sent in their adhesion and appro bation along with their money, mast be regarded as members, associated in a political propagandism, and in the action of the electoral committee. Thus there never were less than from 25 to 30 members of the Paris committee, without taking into account the affiliated groups in the provinces, especially in Marseilles, Schele atadt, and Epival. M. Mather denied that this so-called electoral committee was dissolved after the elections. Ha contended that it was not yet dissolved, and that, so far from being an electoral committee in the true sense of the term, it was, as he bad proved by the correspondence, an association organised to control all the elections of France, and thus in every sense an unlawful association. He concluded by requiring the court to pronounce such a condemnation as would to tore the principle of authority, and would remind all that to the law all owe obedience, because it is the law, especially -,~ The boo ties, of T court own WM retina babkruate of the SC attributed ma d by cr Mr. Ald stultros• rapes fur' the result Mr. E. ria FIN The ban naTh 01 Debts 481 i yr.
