This is, bow to provide for the vast bodies of the poorest industrial class that are periodically dislodged from their old haunts by the progress of what are called, and what really often are, metropolitan improvements. The plan for securing this object which the So ciety is disposed to favour, or at least is anxious to try, is that of going a little way out of town, and ' endeavouring to find in the rural suburbs a conve nient site for the establishment of a kind of indus trial colony. Lord SHAYTESBURY referred to this project in the short but admirable speech he deli vered as chairman of the meeting on Friday. Of course it would be necessary for the spot selected to be within cheap and easy distance of the great metropolitan centres of activity, where the work of the colonists would mainly be found. To this end it must be on some line of railway, either of those already established or of those in process of formation. And it might perhaps be desirable to come to some understanding with the Company with regard to the cheap transmission of the labourers to and from their work. These, however, are questions of detail, which it would be for the Society to consider. Lord SnArrnseuer expressed his conviction that if some such experi ment were tried, it would most likely be successful with two classes of labourers—those who come up fresh from the country, and are unused to the squalor and dissipation of low lodging-house life in London, and those who are violently dislodged in masses from their old haunts. To provide for both these classes is unquestionably a problem of the first importance, and we earnestly hope the Society may succeed in devising some plan that may at least contribute towards its solution. THE GREAT COMET OF 1861. TO TEI [MOIL 01 MB EXPRESS. 5111,.--1 have no doubt you have received other communications relative to the comet so strikingly visible in the north-north-western sky last evening. At half-past 11 o'clock it was about 15 degrees from the horizon. As I had previously been °thieving Jupiter with a small telescope, I was enabled to ascertain that the nucleus of the comet ap peared quite as bright ss that planet had done an hour and a half before. Indeed the nucleus was v v , a much brighter and larger than that of the comet o f 1 and at a more favourable season of the year the tail probably have appeared quite as long aad of greater breadth. If this comet, then, does not turn out the most remarkable of any that have appeared during the present century, it will be difficult to explain the phenomenon of last evening. —I am, Ac., Bangor, North Wale*, July 1. D. M. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIFTIZOB. SlR,—The sun set last evening in masses of dark clouds, which stretched like a mountain range on the opposite coast. At ten o'clock I observed a star of the hest magnitude, and irregular form, " Whose tearful light gleamed tremulously far," resting on the summit of one of the mountains of clond-land I have described. The star then was decidedly north•west. At midnight, ere retiring to rest, I again looked forth on the celestial scenery. The cloud. bad dispersed—the moon had rhen and was reflected on the eabn waters—the stare were bright, and "the star" I looked for displayed the rep' train of light which at coos elsehred its character. It was a comet. The nucleus was quits as large as that of Donald's comet; ita train almost as long, but more greed, and much paler. The present comet travels at a far more rapid pate than the comet of 1858, which was seen by astronomers long before it was visible to the naked eye. The celestial tra veller now passing over our planet is an unexpected but most welcome sod interesting visitor, and those who desire to see this splendid comet must watch for its appearance in the north-west at sunset. It is vary probable that ha ving appeared so suddenly, it will as rapidly peas from mo rtal ken, hastening to accomplish its greet mission to realms unknown to men.-1 am, L 4., A STAB-GAZER.

I. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 3. TO OUR READERS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. A late edition of the Express is publisbed every evening during the racing season, containing the results of the day's races. Tim Society for Improving the Dwellings of the Labouring Classes may fairly claim the honourable distinction of having attacked the misery and degradation, the vice and crime of the metropolis, at its most prolific source and centre. The intimate relation that exists between physical and moral degradation is now so thoroughly esta blished and universally recognised, that it may be assumed as a fundamental axiom in sanitary and social science. Not a single step can be made towards the permanent improvement of the lowest class of our town populations without deal ing first of all with the filthy hovels in which they live. It is impossible to describe, much less to ex aggerate, the revolting physical horrors of those dens in which, throughout the changing year, in spring time and harvest, bright summer days and bitter winter nights, so many thousands and hundreds of thousands of our fellow-creatures drag on a weary and miserable existence. In one of these dens up a court leading out of Drury-lane, where the Society had purchased some premises, there was an open trough or sewer filled with putrid garbage running through the rooms in which the people lived, while tons of filth sod vermin were carted from beneath the rotten floors of the fetid tene ments. To talk of improving the moral or social condition of people who continue to live in such places as these is simply absurd, and all attempts to do so are time and labour thrown away. The visitor or the missionary may come and go at intervals, but their visits produce at best only the faintest and most tran sient impression. The filth and vermin, the huddled space and poisoned air, always remain, and their baneful influence is overwhelming and ' besseartt. They produce the physical depression, tia Graving for coarse stimulants, and the despo nd', temper which soon destroy the last treess of sellsespesj, and leave their victims • prey to the warn exessess of criminal and vicious passion. Obviously the first and most essential step towards the permanent improvement of this dam is to make it at least possible for them to secure a decent home. At present this is absolutely impos sible in many parte, not only of London, but • most large towns throughout the country. To meet this first necessity of urban social reform two aesociations were established nearly twenty years ago—the society referred to above, for Improving the Dwellings of the Labouring Classes, and the " Metropolitan Association for Improving the " Dwellings of the Industrious Classes." These societies have together accomplished • great work, not only in what they have done themselves, but in whet they have stimulated others to do ; and we are glad to find from the reports read at the annual meetings which have recently been held, that the activity and usefulness of each con tinue unimpaired. The first of these societies, whose seventeenth annual meeting was held on Friday last, may be regarded as the pioneer and guide in the great national work of improving the dwellings of the poor. Its object from the first has been to organize effort, to stimu late and direct local activity in this direction, rather than to undertake on any large scale the erection of new dwellings on its own account. It is essentially • model society, formed for the put pope of obtaining the fullest information as to the actual dwellings of the poor, the best and cheapest plans for their improvement, as well as various de signs for the (section of new dwellings in an econo mical manner and in harmony with the sanitary and social principles established for securing the prime requisites of health, decency and domestic comfort. But in order to attain the highest usefulness as • model society it was necessary that Its schemes for improving existing dwellings, as well as for erecting new ones, should be reduced to practice, and thus brought to the decisive test of actual experience. The Society has aooordingly from the first devoted a considerable portion of its funds to this practical purpose, and it now pal ominos nine establishments, or stacks of model dwellings, in ea many different localities, where its plans have been for years past in active opera tion. These establishments comprise old houses that have been converted into dwellings of decency and comfort, and new houses erected on the best principles for securing health, convenience, and economy—model buildings for the accommodation of families, as well as for single women and single men, together with several " renovated lodging-houses "for the latter class alone. These various establishments provide house-room for nearly two thousand persons. As a rule, they are always full, and the rate of mor tality amongst the inmates is considerably less than in the general average of London houses. In a pecuniary point of view they are also thoroughly successful, the majority not only paying their ex penses but bringing in • large revenue to the Society. The only drawback to the full useful. ness of these establishments is to be found in the fact that they are often partially occupied by tenants rather above the lower and lowest clam for whose accommodation they are specially designed. The Society has been equally successful in ita primary object of stimulating local effort, and fur nishing plans and suggestions for its guidance. It is now in active correspondsuce and co-operation with a number of similar associations that have been formed, not only in various parts of this country, but also on the Continent. With re gard to future effort., there is one practical ques tion of the utmost importance that just now I reams itself on the attention of the Society. COO Court.

The Prince of Wales arriv ed at the Castle, Dublin, at ►alt-past 3 o'clock on Moeda', accompanied by the Lcod- Lleutemant, L as epee carriage and four, with outsides. A squadron of dingoes followed the royal carriage. The guard of honour of the 19th Regiment presented arms, and the band played the national anthem as the prises entered the castle-yard, which was crowded with spectators, who cheered in the warmest manner. For a considerable time previous to his arrival St. Pstriek's Hall was densely crowded with the elite of Dubbed society, the most dia. Nagaland representatives of its rank, fealties, and wealth, promotiag a Want spectacle. Shortly before the arrival of hie royal blesses the Lord Mayor and the members of the smeporstion, clothed in their rich and picturesque robes, and attended b► all the insignia which mark the dignity of that ancient body. took their place on the dam in front of the throne. The prince entered the hall, and wu conducted by the Lord-Lieutenant to the throne. His royal highness was accompanied by General Bruce and Colonel ReppeL The Lord• Lieutenant stood beside the prince, to whom he presented the Lord Mayor, who read an address. Hie royal highness, in a dear and distinct voice, and with appropriate emphasis, then read the following reply : "My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen,—l receive with most heartfelt *mum the cordial address, which, emanating as it does from the corporation and citizens of the Irish metro polis. I venture to regard as expressing sentiment' enter- Mined by the country at large. Although, in compliance with my own wishes, public formalities were in a peat measure dispensed with on the occasion of my landing, the enthusiastic welcome spontaneously tendered to me by the vest and important community which you represent was not clay patefid to myself, but afforded the most se 'Taro& evidence of theiraffectione devotiCo t' the Queen, my mother, and to her family.

Sts,—Tl; eald;l --- apipZa;;;;;of the beautiful comet now to be seen is the heavens naturally Ingests the inquiry —ls it the great cornet of 1264 and 1866, named after Charles V. and which is said to have frightened that monarch into ab dicating? The supposition that it is is much strengthened by the fact that its return about this time leas been confidently predicted by astronomers of the greatest eminence, including the names of Mr. Hind and M. leverrger. Its reappearance has been expected since 1848, bat no reliable date could be fixed for its return, owing to the uncertain accounts handed down to us of its former ap pearances. Mr. Hind fixed the period for its return be tween 1867 and 1861; and, as we are sow almost at Use latest limit assigned, there is SOON consistency in asking the question—ls it the great comet of Charles V. am, Sic., NEMO. hartonctreet, W.C., July 2. (From Ailigresiti.) This new visitor, which has taken even astrono mers by surprise, shone with great brilliancy hit night, ex citing universal admiration. The reason why it was not ob served before is, that up to the 30th ult. its distance from the pole was such as to make it set together with the sun ; whereas, from that date, it has approached so near the pole that it cannot set at all. Its size does not at present mead that of 1858, and it differs from it materially la this respect, that its tail is straight, instead at bsiajcurved. The observations taken by XII. Lifritimist and Lamy, on the 30th alt., ware as follows : Mall time, Paris. Right moss. ristansafroni Pals ts. lim. fili . 37m. 40s. 410 11m. li. 11 li 27 6 40 37 43 20 9 11 44 6 41 1 43 19 5 Yesterday its &skate from the pole was not more than 35 degree., it having thus performed nearly 8 degrees north ward in the course of twenty-four hours. It is composed, as usual, of • very brilliant nucleus, a luminous aureola of considerable breadth, a tuft on the aide turned towards the an, and • large tail in the ("pada direetioe. According to M. Chace-sac, the tuft is eceentria, and com posed of six curved and radiant beaches, each not more than • Waste in length ; they are aB curved in the ease sense. As might have bees expected, the comet gave rise to ea mimed dimmed= at yesterday's sittiog of the Academy if Metes.. hi. Elie de Beaumont reed • letter from Y. Holdschinidt, the amateur astronomer, in„ which be Mated that the cornet was 35 degree—a in length, end between three and four in breadth, so that it raessares seventeen millions of laves. M. 13abinet remarked that Mr. Hind's Ephemerides of Charles the Fifth's comet give it the precise position of the present one. Y. Homing had predicted its return in 1858, and Mr. Hind admitted that it might return between 1856 and 1860. Con the imperfect manner in which observations were taken *reit centuries ago, it would surprise no one that a differ's°, of six months should exist between the time of ite appearance and the time calculated. If this were an, the present comet was the same that had been observed in 1556, and caused the abdication of Charles V. It bad previously appeared, aooording to Pairs, in 1264. when it was supposed to announce the death of Pops Brims IV. and its appeasers bad been recorded even earlier, be July, '975, by Chinese. IL Leverrier was not of N. Babinet's opinion. Mr. Hind's table showed different positions which Charles the Fifth's cornet might annoy in the event of its return, and the question was so undetermined that it was no wonder to find • position in the table answering to that of the present comet. And, indeed, there was one corresponding to the position of the 30th of June ; but the motion of the present comet in the course of 24 hours was so different from that given in the table, that the identity of the two comae could no huger be admitted. Here the subject dropped. (FROM IJAT NIGHT% oAzzrzw.) Warn:Kau, JULY I.—The Queen has been pleased to oonstituta and appoint the Rev.

A war had broken out at Buenos Ayres between the government and the Argentine Confederation. At Rio Janeiro the government had accepted the resignation of the directors of the Bank of Brazil. A change of the Brazilian representative in Lon don was spoken of. A communication from Rome states that the liberals had recourse to an ingenious rues to MUM) the removal of a hymn to Pius IX., which was posted all over the eity on the anniversary of his scansion to the pap; throne. During the night they employed perms to write on them "Victor Emmanuel for ever!" "Garibaldi for ever !" and as soon as this was discovered the gendarmes were ordered to remove the whole. The city of Turin and almost every town and village in Piedmont and all over the Peninsula are busying themselves with monuments to Count Cavour. The Turin and Genoa Exchanges have ordered busts for their balls. Parliament will vote money for a great mausoleum in Santa Croce, the Pantheon of Italian glories at Florence. A Vienna letter of the 29th ult. states that King Otho of Greece was expected there is a few days. Hie lb ,it is stated, will pass six weeks at Carlsbad. rl 7 etter from Coblentz iu the Handelablad of Amsterdam says : " A few days ago an officer of the royal gaud of Prussia was in the cabin of a steamer on the Rhine. A gentleman entered, whom the officer insolently ordered to take off his bat. The stranger did not comply, where upon the officer knocked his hat off. The stranger then went to the captain of the vessel and requested him to put I the officer on shore at the first landing place. This the captain was afraid to do, bat on the stranger's declaring himself to be Priam Hohenzollern, the Minister President, 1 sod the officer's making apologies which the Prince was willing to accept, the captain changed his tone, and insisted on the officer's leaving the vessel." Tae Parcae or Acre WAY RECOONITION.—The Giorraale di Verona lays down the following as the condi tion on which Angina is disposed to recognise the kingdom of Italy:—" 1. Victor Emmanuel must renounce all his possessions except his old provinces and Lombardy. 2. The temporal power of the Pope must be restored op to the Po ; his Holiness most receive an indemnity for the expenses he has been prat to ; his pardon mint be obtained, and all the laws relating to eisclesiisties revoked. 3. The dukes and the 1 King of the Two Sicilits must be restored and indemnified. 4. Lastly, the revolutionary !party must be for ever put down, by exiling the chiefs, dispersing their adepts; and calling conservatives to power; for which purpose the senate, the council of state, and all the existing bodies of the state, which have only been elected to support the pre sent policy . , must be dissolved." THIS rwr AGAINST GARIBALDI.—A letter from Paris says :—" The talk of the town is the discovery of the plot spied Geriltildi, of which details are brought by the Italian papers. According to the popular belief the con spiracy is far more extensive than the Italian papers sup pose, and recent events in Paris and Marseilles are pointed at as showing that not Garibaldi alone is marked out for the assassin's dagger. The Italian papers of course lay all this mysterious affair to the charge of Austria and the fallen Sovereigns—in France the accusation is directed against the clergy exclusively. As yet (adds the writer) the de- tails proceed from a very untrustworthy source, and I should not be surprised that the whole story turned out a mere invention, like the recent fusillades sod banditti hunts in the Neapolitan mountains. The following are the details taken from the Pali, The rumour of an attempt OD the life of Geueral Garibaldi is founded on fact. We have letters before us proving the existence of a mysterious society, whose members are partisans of Austria, the Duke of Modena, and the clergy ; it can command a large amount of money, and is under a strong reactionary direction. By this society four emissaries were sent to Genoa on two dif ferent days ; they embarked at Genoa, with letters of in troduction to the general, who is but too say of mimes If our information is correct, two of these emissaries belong to a religious order. Some of the memhem of the society hav ing intimated its plans to certain persons who bad insinuated themselves into their confidence, the plot was thus dis covered, sod due notice of it sent to Caprera and La Mad deice*, where proper precautions have immodiately been taken.'" 11 EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor 003 OWN PARIS, TozaDAY Zymase. The Emperor comes to Paris to-morrow from Fontainebleau, and will pass the night at the Tuileries, leaving for Vichy on Thursday morning. Count de Persigny is expected in Paris to morrow, on his return from London. Thus fall to the ground the reports that he would remain in London, and resume his old post as ambassador. Therein a strong party in the entourage of the Emperor which would be glad to remove the pre sent (relatively) liberal Minister of the Interior, but I do not think these reactionists will succeed. The examination of witnesses in the Mires case was oompleted this afternoon, and the Advocate- General began his address in support of the indict ment. As an instance of the curious way in which French courts admit all aorta of irrelevant evidence in order to damage a prisoner, I may mention that the president elicited from IL Miris that a quarter of a century ago, onJuly 22,1898, he had been fined 16fr. (just 12s. 6d. in English money) for some offence not specified ; that in March, 1857, he was sentenced to three days' imprisonment for insulting a govern ment functionacy ; and that in 1845 he was "acquitted" (!) by the Assize Court on a charge of assaulting one of his brothers. The motive for pressing these stale and trivial facts into the service of the prosecution was, I suppose, to show (what has sufficiently appeared in the course of these proceedings) that Mires is of a hot and violent temper. One of the latest confessions of the eminent speculator, who boldly claims for his operations a solidarity with the creation and progress of the second empire, shows that Bourse gambling is in his ideas almost a religion. The Opinion Nationale reports that he said, just at the close of his examination, when he was asked about a question of profit and loss in his books : " I never allowed any such thing as loss to be en tered in my books, because for me there are no losses which I cannot recover by ulterior opera tions. For instance, in one single affair in Mobi lier I recovered eight millions which the Caine had lost." Although the Afoniteur does not announce the fulfilment of its prophecy that the Pope would perform a public mass on St. Peter's-day, a private telegram now asserts that he did, adding the fact that he protested on the rrsoasion against the occu pation of his provinces. It is said in the same despatch, which is dated Marseilles, July 2, and Rome, June 29, that his Holiness "was to" hold a oonsistory and make a speech on Juiy 1. Never theless, many letters from Italy state that the Pope's health is in a very alarming state. ♦ Paris letter iu the Independance says : According to the information received by the Moniteurti the health of the Pope ban sensibly improved. There is, however, ration to fear that thin improvement, if it really saint, is not so signillamt as could be desired. I am informed that the Faculty of Medicine of Paris has been occupied with the malady of the venerable chief of the church, and that in comparing all the different symptoms mentioned in the journals or letters from France end Italy, the opinion of the mod enlightened members of the faculty is summed up in the conviction that the malady of Pius IX. is an offer. bop of the heart arrived at a very advanced stage. The serious news has arrived that the papal gen d'armes have fired npop the people in the streets of Rome for crying " Long live Victor Emmanuel,'" and that there are killed and wounded in the affair, The evening papers report that a despatch from Naples (not yet in the list of telegrams) brings news of an &mute in Naples, and continued fighting in the streets, the troops, however, being "on the point of restoring order." Lord Dufferin will leave Paris to-morrow for London, and it is said here that the state of his health will prevent him from returning to the East. The Bourse was dull and weak. Rents fell 10c. for cash and closed at yesterday's prices, 87fr. 85c., for amount. Mobilier fell 3fr. 75c. In railways scarcely any change. A German prince, Francis Augustus de Philipp stal, formerly a major in the Austrian service, ono of the younger sons of the Landgrave Ernest Con stantine and the Princess Louise do Schwartzboing- Rudolatadt, has just died at Nancy, where, having married beneath his station, he had lived quietly under the assumed name of Baron de Falkner since 1841. General Rollin is spoken of as the person fixed on to go to Constantinople to congratulate the new Ottoman sovereign on his accession, in the name of the Emperor of the French. THE LOSS OF THE STEAMSHIP CANADIAN. DOARD Or YILLDR INQUIRY. The Liverpool stipendiary magistrate, Mr. S. Ramer, opeoed as inquiry yesterday into the loss of this yowl. Re wee assisted by Oepteia Harris, R.N., nautical ammo, to the Board at Tiede. Tsndal, solicitor to the Board of Trade, opened the sue ; Mr. Bquarsy, solicitor, appeared for Messrs. Allaa roths/es, *wean., and CaptailJoila Graham, master of the Canadian. tknotain Graham, who was find examined, said that he had been master of the vessel since May, 1880, and alto. gather had been a shipmaster since 1838. He was perfectly conversant with the route taken by the Canadian, and it was customary to take the Belle Isle I:Ratite from June to November. On his last voyage, previous to leaving Mon. treat, the owners and be had consulted as to the propriety of taking the Straits, the outward steamer not having then arrived. The mew consisted of 97, and there were altogether about 112 passengers. The vessel was well found in every respect. She drew 22 feet 6 in. forward and 21 feet aft, and was heavier laden than she would have been in the whiter. The captain having described the nature of the accident (with the details of which our readers are already familiar) said that the vortex did not take place until some time after the vessel went down. The boat which swamped (No. 8) was not fitted with Clifford's pa tent lowering apparatus, and the apparatus was not used in the other boats because it was nut rigged up. The eight boat.; in fine weather would have raved WO people, and the seven which did keep afloat saved 181 persons. W duets had not himself corms through the Straite so early as Jute the 4th, but he had known other vessels belonging to the company take the passage at that time, and the only reason why he had not done so himself before war that it had never happened in his turn. The passage saved one day's steaming, and was safer than taking Laps Ray—at least more clear of vessels at a certain season. None of the ship's papers were saved, but a few mail bags were saved. In reply to Mr. Sgtarey as to how he could account far so many passengers (26) being lost, the witness said that be could only account fur it in this way,—that the expend bind must have had 12 or 15 persons on board, and the rest did not get up on deck, but were drowned in the steerage while attempting to recover their property. Fifty persons were saved it. his (the captain's) beat. Captain Grange, commander of the Hibernian, was eta mined as to the character of the Straits, and stated that the company's captains had a discretionary power to leave either Liverpool or Montreal after the 29th of Mae. He himself passed through the Straits (from Liverpool) on the Zed June Ind. Before nearing the Strains to the eastward of Belle late there was much field ice, but through the Straitsn lied g one nd through to the etahset Straitso f Belle f from Isle t h e e i water ni wa s / y et June.
