BERLIN, Barr. 20. • The triumphal entry of the Prussian troops into this city took place at half-past eleven this morn ing, according to the order settled in the official Programme. The greatest popular enthusiasm prevailed. The King was preceded by Count Bismarck and Generals Von Roon, Moltke, Voiglarhetz, and Blu menthal on horseback. His Majesty was presented by young girls with three laurel wreaths, for himself, the Crown Prince, and Prince Frederick Charles respectively. Replying to a congratulatory address from the chief Burgomaster, his Majesty thanked the inha bitants for their splendid reception, which he stated was in every way worthy of the occasion, de claring at the mime time that the troops, not he, should .be the object of their ovation. Numerous orders were distributed and a large number of pronietions made. Count Bismarck was raised to the rank of general, and was appointed Commander of his Landwehr Regiment. The Crown Prince and Prince Frederick Charles were invested with the order " Pour le Write," together with portraits of Frederick the Great. LIVIIPOOL 011 QIIIIMOTOWN TO NOW TOME TWICE A Will.

SICILY. MILAN, SIP?. 20, EVINING. According to advice, received here from Palermo, it would appear that on the 13th inst. the nume rous armed bands which infest the mountains in Sicily united, and made during the night so bold an attack upon that city that they were enabled to take up strong positions in various parts of the town. At first a panic prevented the National Guard from co-operating with the garrison, and on the 16th the firing was still kept up with great energy on both sides without decisive results. The Italian government has given orders for the immediate despatch to Sicily of the garrisons of Leghorn, Ancona, and Tarento, comprising to gether 14 battalions.

The address confirms the unalterable faith of the inhabitants in the integrity of the country, the constitution, and the King. A similar declaration has been made by the Na tional Guard of Catania and the municipality of Aci-Beale. FLORENCE, Szrr. 20, EVESING. The following official statement has been pub. fished here :—" Adviosa from Sicily announce that communication with Palermo has not been restored. It is asserted that no acts of violence or incendiarism have been perpetrated in that city. A few instances, however, of firearms having been discharged Ihad occurred. In the other parts of the island the best feeling prevails. The towns of Augusta, Syracuse, and Modica, have voted ad dresses to the King."

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.—The following letter was sent by Mr. Glass to the Great Eastern staff :—" To Samuel Canning, Esq., Captain Anderson, Henry Clifford, Esq., Willoughby Smith, Esq., and Professor Thomson. — Gentlemen,—The only alloy to the satisfaction arising from existing circumstances is that I cannot be the first person to welcome your return to England, and to express my warm appreciation of the skill, energy, and devotedness which have brought the expedition of 1865 and 1866 to a tri umphant issue. I have day by day earnestly hoped to gain sufficient strength to come down by easy stages to Liver- pool, and there to meet the Great Eastern before she came into port, but my doctor's orders are imperative, and I am at the eleventh hour compelled to deny my self a gratification upon which I bad set my heart. I cannot, however, allow you to land or separate without assuring you of feelings which are of a warm ness and more personal character than can be con veyed in formal votes of thank' or minutes of approval, however hearty. Most of you have laboured with me in the cause of Atlantic telegraphy for many long years— have looked steadfastly and hopefully forward to the goal we have arrived at now, and have with me made the esta blishment of electric communication with America one of the absorbing considerations of your lives.

(rsom oui owl oozazaroNoarr.) PAUL% THURSDAY Evwso. I have been assured positively that a train has been ordered to be in readiness at 11 this evening to convey the Emperor to Biarritz. A curious report has reached me. It is said that the great success of the Marquis de Lava latte's circular is likely to transmute him from an ad interim Minister of Foreign Affairs into the permanent titular of that office, and that the Mar quis de Moustier will be provided with " other functions." He may perhaps be very much wanted at Constantinople for some time to come, not on account of the general " Eastern question," which many people fancy is about to be galvanised, but because of the Cretan insurrection. I am informed that the French government has decided to use its influence on behalf of the Porte against the insurgents. Although you will not be surprised to learn that the Mexican dividend will not be paid, a portion of the public seems to have been unprepared for the catastrophe. The Mexican obligations, which were ran up to 175 fr. by the publication of the treaty, which I stated on the day of its appearance in the Moniker a week ago was a delusion and a snare, fell to-day to 1251 r. and 130 fr. Another astonishing horse cause illustrative of the habits of Champs Elysies dealers, is just re ported, and this time the horse dealer has not got off scot free. Count Edgar de Praslin purchased in June last of M. Tony Montel an elegant park hack warranted to go in harness. The price paid was the handsome one of 1401. The next day, when, after a canter in the Bois de Bonlogne, the horse came to be cleaned, it was discovered that there were several holes in his feet, which had been artfully plugged with tar and a substance re sembling indiarubber, the whole covered over with a cruet of black polish, which made the blemished hoofs look exceedingly round and smooth. The count at once sent the horse from his own stables to Tattersall's, called in a veterinary sur geon to certify the state of the animal, and brought his action for a recision of the contract. The defendant's counsel made light of the cavities in the horse's feet, ingeniously confounded the matter used for the plugging with the outside polish, which he said was an English usage adopted in the defendant's stables, and submitted that the case did not fall within any article of the Code Napoleon. But the court was of opinion that the plaintiff had proved his case, that the unmistakeable concealed fraud excluded the maxim caveat emptor, and it decreed M. Tony Montel to take the horse back, refund the price, and pay the expense of his standing at livery, besides coats of suit. The Bourse was rather weaker, but with little change except as regards Mexican stock, which fell considerably. Rents rose 20. for cash, and fell 10c. for account, closing at 69fr. 50c. in each case• Italian rose 15c., Mobilier fell 3fr. 75c., and Credit Fonder sfr. THE BANK OF FRANCE RETURNS.

The weather, although somewhat cold, was remarkably fine, and the company showed a large increase over the opening day, a fact that must be taken as a favourable indication of the futureyro 'perky of the meeting. Every are was taken, and no energy spared to render the business department complete, and certainly nothing was wanting on the part of the exe cutive to insure success. The racing was of a very inter e description, the finishes being close and exciting, but this annexed return will sufficiently explain the run ning. Speculation during the afternoon on the Great Eastern Handicap was not heavy, for although a number of animals were supported, the investments were not ex- Waive. _ _ Tee Example NITBSZET HANDICAP of 50 sows., added to a sweepstakes of 10 sows. each, 3 ft, for 2-yr-olds; winners extra.

This popular suburban meeting was celebrated yester day, in the presenoe of a very large number of patrons, who, notwithstanding the counter attractions af forded by Idoulsey Hurst, "assisted," Mr. Warner in bringing off his attractive riunion. It is perhaps hardly necessary to state that the arrangements were of the usual praiseworthy character ; whilst a passing reference to the return appended below will show that owners of horses fully appreciated the efforts of the enterprising Hendon caterer in their behalf. Owing to • variety of causes the ring was not so largely patronised as it might have been, and there was, consequently, comparatively little speculation, but the sport itself was considerably above the average. It will be seen that the afternoon's proceedings were, unfortunately, productive of a serious accident to oue of the jockeys.

On Wednesday evening, the adjourned inquest upon the body of Harriet Tinnell was held before the coroner at Oakengates. The particulars of this remarkable case have already appeared, and it will be remembered that the deceased was engaged in the capacity of housekeeper at the Hand-and-Hammer inn, Oskengatea, the only other in mates of the house being a servant maid, and a young man named Sampson Pitchford, a relative of the proprietor. On Sunday night, the 12th August, the deceased went to bed in her usual good health, and having made arrangements for going a long journey on a visit to her friends on the next day. She was, however, discovered b Sampson Pitchford to be very it at an early hour on the Monday, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon she died. Apart mortem examination revealed the fact that she had been pregnant for about three months, and also disclosed traces of the pre. senee of poison in the stomach. At previous examinations it was proved that the deceased bad no other male acquaintance in the neighbourhood except the young man Pitchford, and it was stated that he had promised to marry ' her. It was further proved that Pitchford bad served an 1 apprenticeship of four years to • chemist and druggist, and was intimately acquainted with the properties and , uses of drop ; but no further evidence of • similar tend ency has yet been adduced. The court being opened, the coroner, addressing the jury, expressed his regret that he should have to adjourn the inquiry spin in consequence of Professor Roaooe, to whom the stomach of the deceased had been sent for chemical analysis, being unable to attend. 1 As the case had excited much public interest, he might, I however, state that the professor had informed him that be had found strychnine in the stomach of the deceased. The police were also in possession of fresh evidence, and it ' would be for the jury to say whether they would hear the . evidence now or await the further adjournment. tilti mutely it was arranged to adjourn the inquest till the sth October without taking any fresh evidence. The case con tinues to excite great Interest in the neighbourhood. SALE OF SHROPSHIRE SHIFT..—Mr. Lythall'a annual sale of Shropshire pure bred rams, /cc., took place in Bingley Ball, at Birmingham, on Tuesday. There was • Ilarge attendance. The rams numbered nearly 140, and commenced with twelve from Mr. Lythall, of Radford )Hall, which were worthy descendants of Mrs. Baker's prize ram, "Nuneaton." These made fair prices—from eight to 131, guineas, at which one was purchased for Lard Leigh, the lot averaging 101. 10s. each. Mr. W. Yates followed, and for quality and symmetry were unsurpassed in the hall. They consequently readily found buyers at from eight to eighteen guineas (the highest price of the day), the mean being about 121. Mr. Necks shearlings were of great size, and carried very heavy fleeces, and were rapidly taken at , from ten to seventeen guineas each, averaging nearly 141. Mr. Glover's rams, which were smaller, but true iu colour and character, and ere of good blood, averaged 6 /. 6 s. each. Mr. Horley's rams w a useful class of sheep, having plenty of size and wool, and Iwere not dear at their figure, N. Bs. each. Colonel Dyott's rams were a nest lot, shorn late and not forced for sale, but they came very late in the day, or would have made , higher figures than the 5,1; and 6 guineas which most of them rodised, and at which the buyers must have been entreinely well satisfied. The other rams and ram lambs we from Messrs. Barrows, Broughton, Hopkine, Hick , man, pilem, Wood, and Wright ; but few of these wire of high dam, sad prices did not range above Si. 55., except hi ono et tin instances. The ewes were a very good lot. scarcely an inferior pea of Shropshire' being shown, and only on went so low as 49a—the general figure being about 66.. to 90e.—whilet for anything rather above the ordinerr elms 70e. to SOs. per head were given.

A special Court of Common Council nos held yesterday at Oddball, for the purpose of taking into con sideration a report of the Special Ou Committee delivered in at the sitting of the court last week, relating to the M ortan on. t question of the supply of gas to the citizens of Alderman Funins presided ma locust genes, for the Lord Nit_yor. The report, which extended to considerable length,.and whisk had been printed, set forth the various proomiduiP that had been taken by the committee with • view to break up the monopoly enjoyed by the three gas compa nies that at present supply the City with gam, and to obtain • better, cheaper, and. parer supply than is at present fu rnished.! The report stated that in accordance with the suggestion of the committee of the House of Commons that r wi s a a rointed to investigate the subject, th had made p to all the existing com panies f ey or,the purchase oftheir works, and it appeared that although the answers theyreoeived fromthern were couched in different terms, they . were all to the same effet ted nernet to decline the proposition. The report court and the public that although the bill the had intim duced into parliament fee the purpose of enabling the cor poration to erect works of their own to supply the City with gas had been rejected, still their efforts before the Select Parliamentary gm Committee had led to the side factory result of obtaining a report from that committee which entimiyandoseed the opinion arrived at lose befereby — the animas of gLondan and the public generally, that the gas, se at present supplied by the existing coact wee deficient in quantity, and in parity and ilium wer, , and of an exorbitant price, and that the late Home Seeretrry bed expressed his intention of giving instruc tions that a bill should be introduced into parliament as speedily as possible, based upon the report of the cceci mines ci the Hones of Commons, and with a view to ree medy the evils that were complained of. The report also stated that the committee had been in communication with the present Home Secretary upon the subject, and he appeared to be fully inclined to carry out the views of his predecessor in office, but the committee at the same time observed that it wee in their opinion very necessary that the matter should be earnestly pressed upon the ate tuition of the government, and they therefore moan weeded that they should be empowered to continue to act (and to take such steps in the matter as they might deem to be expedient. Mr. J. F. Boirrxme, the chairman of the special commit tee, on moving that the report be agreed to by the court, and that the committee should be empowered to continue their labours, went at considerable length into the various proceedings that bad been adopted by them with a view to carry out the wishes of the court. He regional to the course that was taken by the select committee of the House of Commons, and said that notwithstanding _that committee was not f a vourably constituted as reprded the corporation, and the strenuous opposition made by the diffe rent gas companies, they were compelled to agree to the re port, which must be considered exceedingly satisfactory to the public with regard to the important object they bad in view. It wee estimated that the different gas companies had expended 10,0001. in opposing the proceed ings, and the expense incurred by the committee had been about 8,0001. A discussion then took place upon the question, but almost all the speakers were on one wide, namely, in sup port of the recommendation of the committee ; end even tually the report was agreed to unanimously. A report was brought up by Deputy Fry, the chairman of the improvement committee, recommending that • Ft= of 400,00 W. should be raised upon loan for the purposes ci the Holborn Valley improvement. The report was speed to, and the court adjourned. THE CHOLERA. The followNiDg is the official return of deaths from &okra and &write= registered ea Wednesday, Sept. 19; • • - Cholera.

LAI3OI3R AT THE EAST END. —A public meeting was held last evening in the Baptist chapel, Squints.. street, Bethnal-green, for the purpose of adopting immures towards obtaining au increase of wages for the labourers of the docks and wharves of the East End of London, the average earnings of that class at present being not mere than Vs. per week throughout the year. Mr. G. Mantis (of the Reform League) presided, and warmly urged the dock and wharf labourers to improve their condition by seeking proper remuneration for their labour. The Sisk resolution proposed was as follows :—" That this meeting quite disapproves of the manner in which the dock com panies have dealt with the petition sent to them from their labourers, respectfully praying for an advance of wages, and regret that they should have thought proper to decline to hear any more on the matter, or to receive any deputation whatever, which we presume meant a re fusal to listen to the voice of reason, or to the cries of our starving wives and children. We are, therefore, resolved by all lawful means to bring amass before the Christian and humane merchants of the City and the world at large, and obtain their decision as to whether we MUSS remain in our present position any longer, and whether they will call a meeting among themselves at the Mansion house or the Guildhall to devise such means as shall obtain for us the long sought for and longer needed 3s. per day ; also that the servants in the dock companies employ receiving under 11. per week, should be raised in proportion." The resolution which was ptopored by dock labourers, S . Moody, and seconded and supported hy two dock laboiners, was carried unenimously. Mr. W. Creighton proposed the next resolution, which empowered the secretary and committee to endeavour to obtain a meeting of merchants in the City of London, "to consider the position of 20,000 or 30,009 men, who were willing to work if they could get sufficient wages to enable them to pro sure the proper necessaries of life." The proceedings thin terminated. Tux STATE OF PARTIES—The number of new members returned to the House of Commons this year has now been increased to 32. The new members are Lord J.
