ITALY. FLORENCE, S. 27. The financial difficulty in the Auatro•ltalian peace negotiations is said to be completely settled, in a manner equitable for all parties ; and the questions which still remain to be considered relate only to an amnesty, to the railway regulations, and to the transfer of the Venetian archives to Italy. It is believed that the treaty of peace will be signed on Saturday or Monday next, in which case King Victor Emmanuel would make his entry into Venice between the 10th and 12th October.

The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland received two addresses on Wednesday, at the Viceregal Lodge, Dublin, one from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in Ireland, and the other from the mayor and corporation of Limerick. In the latter address reference was made to the adjustment of the land question, and to " a more equitable distribution of the revenues of the established church," es calculated to " ensure the gratitude and loyal attachment of the people to the throne and constitution." Reference was alao made to the question of union rating, and the reform of the grand jury laws. His excellency, in reply, said that he behoved that at no time did there ever emit a more anxious desire than at present to meet the difficult relations that exist in Ireland between land lord and tenant in a conciliatory spirit. Other matters, he added, referred to in the address, could only be dealt with by parliament. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1866. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDIT EVINING. Another journalists' duel I M. F. Sarcey, well-known pungent writer, published a few lines in the Opinion Nationale on Sunday about the ; Liberte and the way it is managed by M. Emile de Girardin, which moved all the staff of that journal from their propriety, except its case-hardened , redaeteur-en-ehef. M. Sarcey said that all the writing in the Liberti amounted to nothing more than pot-house conversation. M. de Girardin's lieutenants felt themselves insulted collectively by ' this criticism, and drew lots to decide which of them should send a challenge to M. Sarcey. The , lot fell upon M. Pessard. He sent two of his colleagues, M. Clement Duvernois and M. Arthur de Fonvielle to throw down the gauntlet. M. Sarcey selected as his friends MM. Tripier and Malespine, of the Opinion Nationale. The latter for a long time contended that no cams beili was made out, Wawa 31..da.Sarpcjaarl attacked only M. de Girardin, and his system of journalism, and had never meant to insult the writers in the Liberti. M. Pessard, however, as representing the Libertf, not being satisfied with this explanation, a meeting was arranged to take place at Vincennes. When the parties were upon the ground, and swords in their hands, one of M. Saroey's seconds cried out that M.Peasard must be considered as fighting on behalf of M. de Girar din. Thereupon a row ensued, followed by what in French is called votes de fait, in English " fisti cuffs," and the duel was abandoned. M. de Girar_ din writes to the Evenement that he disapproved of this duel, but that his subordinates, "who are young," do not agree with him. He disapproves of duelling in all cases whatsoever, and wishes to God that he had always been of the same opinion. This is in allusion to the regretable fact of hi s early life that ho killed Armand Carrel in a duel. Apartments have been taken at Biarritz for Count de Namara on Sept. 30. Garibaldi, instead of going to Caprera, as had been announced, is in Florence, and intends to ap pear in his place in parliament at the opening of the session.

There were speculative dealings in Mexican funds, at an advance, the opinion being general that the Emperor will make the Corps Legislatif do something on behalf of paper, which, though now principally in the hands of speculators who bought it at a low rate, was originally taken by people deluded by representa tions of the French executive, which, though most improperly made, can scarcely be altogether repu diated without great damage to the prestige of the imperial government. THE UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION OF 1867. (PROW OUR SPICIAL common:min%) Engliah exhibitors will learn with satisfaction that an international club is to be established at once for the convenience of mercantile men next winter, spring and summer. It is called The Ren dezvous—an excellent name, understandable by men of all nations. Its provisional offices are on the Boulevard des Italiens, at the Librairie Centrale. It appears to be designed on the most liberal and sensible scale. In its rooms will be found the newspapers of all nations ; the latest telegrams ; interpreters ; every kind of mercantile information; an exchange ; lista of the rooms to let in every part of Paris ; an agency for exhibitors who cannot attend to their own goods in the Exhibition; and it will be an address to which all visitors to Paris can have their letters or parcels forwarded. The want of such an institution as this was severely felt in 1855, and again in 1862. There is a vast wooden structure rising to the west of the Exhibi tion buildings, which is to be a club also • but this isless of a commercial nature than The Rendezvous, while it is far more expensive. Now that the imperial circular has been ma ssaged, and that peace has been thoroughly misokied Amos, - -se-- -ism* •-tell&elise—erzbi bition of 1867 shall have been brought to a happy conclusion to the glory of Franoe, there appears to be fresh vigour thrown into the scene in and about the Champ de Mars. The waterworks have been pushed forward, so that an idea can be formed of the rocky bed from which the river is to flow through the French park ; an ornamental chimney is finished ; the framework of the Arts Gallery is all up ; the colonnade of the central garden is complete ; and whole galleries are glazed, and appear to be ready for the work of " installation." This progress has not been achieved, I am sorry to say, without divers acci dents to prove the need of the little building to the east of the works marked "Ambulance." One poor fellow fell from some scaffolding last week, and was killed on the spot. These misfortunes among the workmen serve to remind me that the imperial commission appear most determined to make the Exhibition of 1867 of the utmost advan tage to the working classes of all nations. I am told that a special section of the Exhibition will be devoted to a collection of plans, models, and re ports of all the establishments in the world in which the sick poor are treated, as hos pitals, asylums, dispensaries, infirmaries, sic. Did M. Hinson, the indefatigable and enlightened director of the Assistance Publique of Paris, carry away from London models of our workhouse infirmaries] It is to be hoped that he has spared us this humiliation. He has so much to show on his own part that is admirable (his maisous de sectfurs, for instance) that we should, in -1 deed, have cause to be ashamed of our dens for sick pauperism. But I will return to this most impor -1 tent subject when the lists of establishments and the commissioners' complete plan shall be before me. The working men of the two countries are already on the alert ; and the French papers men tion with satisfaction the fact that English working men have already formed a committee, under in fluential auspices, for organising excursions to Paris on a great scale next summer. The com mittee, before making their arrangements, should , weigh well the plan and scope of the Exhibition. It will be impossible to see all of it, with any pro fit to the spectator, in two or three days. Let me give them a fact. The path of the Exhibition is seventy-four kilometres long. It is so long that I hear already of a speculation for establishing ." correspondences " of Bath chairs, on the Paris omnibus system, that will carry the visitor over the building, and through the many mazes of the park. But there are reasons good and true why the English workman as well as the English wagepayer should afford to spend many days in the Champ de Mars next year. For the first time working men are to have their just place in an International Ex hibition of Industry. 1 don't know anything that would give the student of social science a better idea of the progress society has made since the first Napoleon was Emperor than the plan of the imperial commissioners, which brings together the workmen of the various nations of Europe. The savage jealousies between workmen, which made the French weaver hate the English weaver, and the English ironworker despise the French iron worker, have disappeared. Twenty years ago French manufacturers would not permit English manufactures to be exhibited in their country—ten years ago French workmen met English workmen with an angry feeling—and now they are to sit shoulder to shoulder, and enter into an amicable contest of skill and taste. Each may freely examine the tools of the other. There will be no secrets, no barriers. This is a mighty stretch forward from the days of the old and surly corporations. Around and about them will be every form of economy and of social improvement which civilisa tion has realised for the benefit of the many. In the galleries of the Exhibition will be seen the im provements in the arts and sciences and in in dustry which have been made since 1855 and 1862 the harvest of skill, and wisdom, and genius which the world has lately gathered ; but in the new phases of this Universal Exhibition will be found— The later harvest of a longer year! Institutions which have grown at the aloe's pace ; new schemes for a better life ; the dreams of the visionary, it may be, here and there ; but on many sides noble plans and thoughts, through which the world of to-morrow may be made better than the world of to-day. It would seem that the British mind has been sorely perplexed by the imperial commissioners' announcement that they intend to distribute ten prizes of 4001. each, " in favour of the persons, establishments, or localities which, by a special organization, or special institutions, have developed a spirit of harmony among all thoee co operating in the same work, and have provided for the material, moral, and intellectual well-being of the workmen." It appears to me that there can be no real difficulty in understanding the scope or meaning of this offer. Sal taire may compete with Mulhausen. The Familistry will enter the lists. MM. Delius, Korchlin, Titus Salt, and others may cross swords. Builders of great co-operative institutions have their place in the lists. I see you have an Indus trial Partnership of Tailors set on foot ; they may come confidently with their new-fashioned goose. Architects of model lodging-houses, socialists of every complexion, inventors of abodes of bliss, and contrivers of dead level lives for all, may com pete. There are only ten prizes, but there are twenty " honourable mentions." This is not all. There is one gigar tic prize—to be given to " the person, establishment, or locality, distinguished under this head by a very exceptional superiority." There is not much time to be lost. He who would send in a plan of harmonious and comfortable life for masters and men must bestir himself, for no claimant will be admitted after October 31. As important as the sections which deal with the improvement and the comfort of the working classes is that in which the food of all nations is to be spread, and compared, and eaten. Cheap food will come under discussion. The chemists and physiologists will hold tough debates about carbon and nitrogen, and the origin of muscular force. The English workman will see how unwise he is in limiting his food substances ; how wasteful his kitchen is ; how he leaves good meat in the field and by the hedge row. In every way does he turn his wage to bad account. Many of the " in stitutions" represented in the Exhibition will show him how he buys in the dearest market ; how his cupboard is poorl7 lined because his marketing is bad ; how his wife throws carbon and nitrogen away ; how, in short, he might with a little know ledge and some care be a much richer and happier man than he is, without receiving one farthing THE BANK OF FRANCE RETURNS.

TIM ROYAL Vierr TO DUIfROBIN.—The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, and a number of the other distinguished guests at the surge, were present on Tuesday at the uncovering of the statue erected to the memory of the late Duke of Sutherland. The ceremony was witnessed by • large number of spectators, many of whom came from distant parts out of respect to the memoir of the duke, and were also, no doubt, attracted by the expected presence of the royal parsy. The day was a busy one in Golspie on account of its being rent day on the Sutherland estates when it is customary for the tenants to be entertained to dinner, and when a kind of reunion of the farmers in the county takes place. About twelve o'clock, the tenantry, along with many of the village people, assembled to witness the ceremony ; and about half an hour after wards the royal party . arrived, when the statue was un covered. The status is a bronze figure of ths duke, by Mr. Noble, of London, and is placed on a pedestal of granite from a quarry on the estate of the duke at Strathfleek. The royal party walked to the site of ,the statue, which is within a quarter of a mile from the castle. The Prince and the Princes, of Wales were accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Sutherland, the Earl of Shrews bury, and almost all the other guests at the castle, and the party took up • position to the right of the statue. The Princess cf Waist, who looked somewhat thin and pale, but cheerful, wore a dark blue silk velvet dress, trimmed round the edges with plain braid. She had a white straw turban bat lined round the rim with a bead of white lace, and having a white feather. She had on a thin dark veil. The Duchess of Sutherland wore a blue silk dress trimmed with white, and had • black straw turban hat, the rim being trimmed with white lace like the princess's, and having a blue feather. Both the princess and duchess carried canes or light walking sticks. The Prince of Wales was in the uniform of colonel of the Rogart volunteers—namely, a Glengarry cap, with feather ; scarlet tunic and kilt of the 93rd Highlanders' tartan. The tunic is trimmed with silver lace, the plaid is of the Sutherland tartan ; and altogether the dress is a very picturesque and attractive style of the Hight:m.l costume. The Duke of Edinburgh was also very nc.tly ' attired in the Highland dream (the royal Stuart tartan). The ceremony commenced by the Rev. Mr. Macmillan. of Loth, offering up prayer; after which, Mr. Hedwen read an address to the Puce of Sutherland, who briefly replied. ' The Prime of Wales then uncovered the statue by ohs,- ' ing off the union jack with which it was covered ; and the P figure of the duke was then looked at with much interest • by the spectators. The likeness was declared by those who knew the duke to be excellent ; and from the uniform testimony given there is no doubt that the artist live been very successful in the execution of the work. The Duke of Sutherland introduced Mr. Noble, the • sculptor, to the Prince and Princess of Wales, who I complimented him on his success. At the close of the proceedings three cheers were given for the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh, and three for the Duke of Sutherland. The royal party then returned to the castle. In the afternoon the Prince of Wales, the • Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Sutherland and a large party went out deer-stalking on Den-a-llraghie, pasting through the village in a brake ant waggonette. They re ' turned in the evening about 8 o'clock. In the afternoon the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sutherland rode in the grounds. Prirce Edward of Selo-Weimar left the r castle on Tuesday morning for Lairg with a numbe- of , ladies. At 3 o'clock the tenantry of the Duke of Suther land dinaltogether in a large pavilion in front of the Goleta Inn. --- HEALTH OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.—From amounts which we receive from authoritative sources we are able to express the belief that the sinister omens which have been drawn from the recent indispo sition of the Emperor of the French may in all probability be pleasantly falsified. The benefit which the Emperor had derived from the waters of Vichy induced him, contrary to the wishes and advice of Hayer, to resort ag ain to their use. Like many other persons who have had to repent the injudicious and tx timelyuae of the water,theEnq ror sufferer! a severe momen tary aggravation of his symptoms, to which other sari dents were unfortunately added. This has been wholly conquered, and the most troublesome symptoms were those of a temporal/ and accidental character. There is nothing in the condition of health in which the I.'mperor now is to warrant any apprehension which might not as justifiably have been entertained in the past : there is nothing incompatible with prolonged life and activity. Fresh air, quietness and change will probably fortify the Emperor to meet satisfactorily all the possible physical and mental demands of hi. most impot hint and labonous func tions. It would be ohs iously improper to enter into de tails on such a subject, but we speak seriously and with • knowledge of the medical details of the came.—The Lanett. A NEW TRAGEDIAN.—The Limerick Chroniefe calla attention to the Molt at the theatre in that city of the grandson of the Earl and Countess of Ratlidown. " Last evening," it says, " Mr. Blaaey Cole made his first appearance in Haslet. The scenery and decorations of the theatre were in keeping with the piece, and reflect the highest credit upon the manager, Mr. Stafford. It is evi dent from the spirit in which lie acts that be has not merely confined himself to being a perfect elocutionist, but that he has drunk in deeply the spirit and power of the great dramatist." Snucerster 00CCRRENCE.—On the evening of Sunday last an accident of a very shocking nature took place, which nearly resulted fatally to a young married lady named Mrs. Anstey, then staying at Mr. Sackett's, No. G, Hoyal-crescent, Hamsgate. It appears that the husband of the unfortunate lady (Captain Matey) is an invalid, and when the occurrence took place, which was about ball-past 9 o'clock, he was feat asleep, but be wee aroused by the piercing shrieks f his wife, and on rushing to her assistance he found her enveloped in flames. By an almost superhuman effort ho succeeded in throwing her down, when her maid endeavoured to put out the flames by placing the hearthnigs and mats over her. The screams of the unfortunate lady were also heard by Mr. and Mrs. Sackett, andthey nmediately ran upstairs to her assistance, and the former on entering the room commenced to tear away the burning clothes from the poor sufferer. She was then quite insensible, but on water being thrown over her she was brought to, and her ecreanna,gain became extremely heartrending. Medical assistance was bent for, and Dr. Henderson soon arrived, and with assistance succeeded in removing the lady's clothing, which was still • mass of fire, the steel of her crinoline being red hot. She was then found to be very much burnt, her arms, neck, and the lower portion of her body having severely suffered from the effect of the flames. Her eyes were fortunately not injured in the least, she having instinctively covered her face with her hands, thus preserving them from injury. It transpired that the accident resulted from the falling of one of the candles which the lady bad roluested one of the servants to push up from the candlestick. When picked up it appeared extinguished, and no more notice was taken of the circumstance till the servant was about to open the door to retire, when Mrs. Anstey remarked that she could smell something singeine. She rose from the easy chair in which she was sitting, and her dress catching the draught from the door she was instantly in flames. The servant was too much frightened to render any im mediate assistance, but ran away terrified to call her master and mistress. It was then that Captain Anstey heard the shrieking of his wife, and went up to her assist ance. Mr. J. B. Thompson, another surgeon, in addition to Mr. Henderson, was called in to attend the lady, but she still lies in • very precarious state. Had it not been for the presence of mind of Mr. Sackett, Mrs. must have been burnt to death, as everyone else ap peared para. Vied by fright. It was miraculous the house itself did not catch fire, as the flames extended to the carpet and bedding in the bedroom adjoining. Mr. Sackett, however. mananed to permed the flames getting soy hold, or the dump might have been much greater. The lady, who is about % or 27 years of age, was attired at the time of the unfortunate occurrence in a light muslin dream, which ter. haps accounts for the rapid spread of the flames, when ignited by a spark from the candle. In his exertions to save his wife's life Captain Anstey's Imola were severely burnt, u also were those of the lady's maid.— TO 77ii 3LUIQUIS OT LOAN. My Lord,—You &seat in a late letter to a public journal that I have shirked saying one word spinet the position you took up—viz., that for the mistakes committed by Mr. Eyre he has suffered enough, and that the opinion of the country haa already given a verdict that makes further prosecution utterly unneomeary. Those, you add, who now desire a trial, do but wish to strike a fallen man. I had no intention of shirking that "pcdftt; and I will now give you my opinion ezplizitteler what it is worth. To consider this question solely with reference to Mr. Eyre is to take a very partial and superficial view of its momentous nature. The personal security of the Queen's subjects is worth some consideration. The right of the subject to trial by jury in cases of alleged treason, or rebellion, is not unworthy of being defended. The subjection of all under the Sovereign to the law, whether the governor of a distant colony, or those more immediately under the eye of authority at home, is a principle too sacred to the constitution to be tampered with, or left to the loose tribunal which you call the opinion of the country, and which, if judged of by the utterances of several of our most eminent lite. nary and scientific nen, condones every deed of ruthless barbarity perpetrated in the island. So far as I know the feelings of those who call fora prosecution of Mr. Eyre nothing is further from their thoughts than the wish to inflict suffering on him, however little scruple he had to indict needless suffering and cruel wrongs upon others; but their determination is to vindicate the law which has been broken in a manner which they regard as moat dangerous to the liberty of the subject. I hope the prosecution will embrace General Nelson and Lieut. Brand, as well as Mr. Eyre. There were instances of persons put to death where law, justice, and humanity were even more grossly outraged than in the case of Gordon, and for which those two officers appear to be more I directly responsible. Although I wish no harm either to General Nelson or Lieutenant Brand, I certainly do wish both the army and navy to be taught that they cannot kill "like fun" in cold blood with impunity. The tone ' of the officers in both services with whom I came in con ' tact was much improved before we left the island—in the navy especially, after Admiral Hope had reprimanded I Lieutenant Oxley, and told him he had exposed himself to a prosecution for murder ; but there is still much to be done to teach these gentlemen that the civil law is their master, and that the life of the humblest subject of the crown is sacred in the eye of the law. The charge against Mr. Eyre as governor, and the other officers who were the executive military authorities, is that they caused Mr. Gordon, Mr. Samuel Clarke, Mr . Hem/ Lawrence, Mr. William Grant, Mr. G. Mackin. Josh, and numerous other persona, to be tried fur trea son, sedition, or rebellion, and put to death, contrary to the laws of the country, in the following among other particulars : 1. Trial by jury was refused, and the privileges granted by the law to accused persons were denied, although the ordinary civil courts were open, and no martial la w pre vailed, at the place where Mr. Gordon and Mr. Samuel Clarks were apprehended. 2. A military court tried and condemned to death these and ntunerous other prisoners for alleged crimes, which, on the face of the charges, were committed before the pro cl.mation of martial law was issued, and some of them for alleged offences which were not crimes known to the law. According to my reading of the constitution, a trial by a military court for offences which on the face of the charges were committed, if at all, before the publication of the proclamation of martial law, was a trial by those who had no authority to try, and the putting to death of the Queen's subjects by those who had no authority to inflict capital punishment. "If he that gives judgment of death against a person bath no commission at all, if sentence of death be commanded to be executed by such person, and be executed accordingly, it is murder in him that com mands it to be executed, for it was comm nun judice."— (Hale's " Pleas of the Crown.") 3. In the case of Gordon, not only were the proceed. legs in defiance of the law in all these particulars, but from the recorded opinion of Mr. Eyre, who was the supreme civil and military authority, he sanctioned the execution, not because Gordon was guilty of treason or I complicity in the actual outbreak, but because Mr. Eyre believed the outbreak would not have taken place had not ' Gordon at some time previous uttered words which were construed into the convenient plea for tyrants of " guilty ' agitation." You think Mr. Eyre has suffered enough. My reply is, the law has not been vindicated. The executive have re. moved him from office, but the ministers of the crown cannot determine whether the law has been violated. The eonstitution of our country has wisely placed th e power of investigating crimes neither in the crown, nor in the parliament, nor in tLe people, but in the judges to determine the law, and in juries to ascertain the facts. If some poor Highlanders were to seize upon any portion of the Argyll estates, would you consider they had suffered enough bybeing dismissed from office as labourers and sent home to their families! If, on the contrary, you would con rider it menacing to the best interests of society to suffer the poor to break the law with impunity, how much more dargerons to the coromun;ty must it be to permit higher offenders to escape who have made!sport with human life! You saw little of the effects of the Eyre policy in Jamaica. It was your more pleasant occupation to travel about the country and be hospitably received everywhere. You were saved the sad necessity of listen ing to the harrow:ng accounts of the sufferers. We, whose task it was, on behalf of the Jamaica Com mittee, to investigate the details, have our minds more fo-cibly impressed with the terrible policy of the late governor—its merciless and its needless severity. If the law has nothing to say to deeds like these—if one portion of society can applaud the hero of the gibbet and the lash, while another portion exclaims " Poor fellow, leave him alone ; he did it all for the best "—I see nothing before the country but au outburst at no distant day of a con tempt for law, by which the order to which you belong must be the first and the worst sufferers.—l am, Ac., Jorat Gonna. Tanfield-court, Temple, Sept. 26. I n , THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society at South Kensington, which have been opened to the public free on the Wednesdays of the month of September, have been visited by upwards of 21,283 persons on these days. Many of the visitors, however, were not of the class whose enjoyment was contemplated by the fellows in granting the boon, and we are given to undentand that they will not be thrown open again free this year. I seems the experience at Kew afforded no fair criterion by which to judge of the results of similar measures at Ken sington. The distance of the former gardens from London opposes an obstacle to the visits of large numbers of mis chievous boys, which does not exist at Kensington, and it is thought that the enjoyment of the dower lovers of the working classes would be better secured by the payment of • small fee for admission, which would exclude those who go there to play and do mischief, and require police and the full attention of the servants of the society to keep them in order. On Wednesday a deputation, consisting of the mayor and the principal aldermen and councillors of the borough of Sligo, waited on the Right Hon. W. M.P., to present him an address, as stepson of the to Lord Palmerston, and owner of several important estates in the county. The promoters of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable banquet in Liverpool have been disappointed in their ap plication to obtain the use of the Town-hall Rooms, and the result is that they are obliged to decline applications for tickets to • large extent, as the Law Association Rooms will only hold a small number. i , , , 1 ii, 1 ir sile .Is 6 ge Mie''
