Ora anticipates buys been but too accurately verified, and we an one as in the presence of a General Strike for shorter tune by those em ployed in the Building Trade. How deeply we regret it should be so we need hardly say. What ever be the issue of the present struggle as be tween capital and labour, the loss to individuals and the inconvenience to the community are un deniable. No record, in truth, will ever tell in this world half the suffering and evil which three months' collision on an extended wale between masters and operatives must inevitably cause. Heaven knows we have no desire in any sense to understate the case in this respect. We have long and earnestly striven to impress upon the minds of those who, from their greater energy of character and quicker intellect, become the leaders of their fellow-workmen on such occasions, the grave responsibility they incur when they recommend the first turn-out : nor shall we ever cease to urge in all frankness and faithfulness these considerations, " whether " they will hear or whether they will forbear ;" not for the sake of capitalists or consumers merely, or principally, but especially for the sake of the employed, and of those who more immediately depend upon them. We put aside altogether, as untimely and out of place, the considerations which some would fain force on our attention re garding the additional pressure entailed upon pri vate benevolence, and the additional burden cast upon local rates. We do not think the self-interest of the neutral classes in the quarrel can be fairly appealed to in this way. When capitalists think fit to close their establishments, or proprietors of land think fit to clear away numerous humble habitations and cast a mass of help less and unotfending beings on the charity of the public or upon the pariah for relief, enlightened respectability and genteel affluence seldom venture to murmur a remonstrance between their teeth, and never rush into print to denounce or to complain. They are ever ready to acknow ledge the right of the rich to do what they will with their own, as far as law and the public judg ment of society is concerned. And so they must learn to bear, if not contentedly, at least com posedly, with the right of the comparatively poor to refuse when they please to sell their labour at a lower price than they think they can obtain for it. If they will not be restrained by the risk and suffering they incur, and by the sight of what their families endure during the conflict for shortened time or increased wages, they will cer tainly not be moved by the shabby and selfish grumbling of those who are afraid that the conflict may entail indirectly upon them the lees of an extra halfpenny or penny in the pound in the shape of poor rates. If the body of the working men Many particular trade were unjustly deprived of so many Dour, or so many shillings in the week ; and if by peaceful and open combination they could exact the redress of such a wrong, we should be very merry to bid them hesitate in doing so. The law dis tinctly recognises their right to try the issue with their employers by abstaining from labour. The remedy is costly and clumsy enough, and the penalties of failure are the more deplorably severe, inasmuch as they are self-exacted. But if the apprehension of having to pay those penalties will nut make men pause before they strike work, assuredly no other motives will ; we must there fore say plainly that we think the less said about these other motives the better. But there is soother tone of comment indulged in, we regret to say, by some of our contempo- raries, which fills us, we confess, with oven more regret. We allude to the ill-disguised threats of legislative interference with regard to trade com bination. The fell spirit of reaction shows itself in no more dangerous or demented form than when it sets up a cry of regret over the just and humanising changes in legislation on this subject made some years ago. Never was improvement more fruitful in benefits and blessings than that which relieved the counsels of labour from the necessity of being secret. Publicity has not, in deed, eradicated trade combination, but it has divested it of its most pernicious characteristics— mystery, deception, suspicion, and temptation to violence. rie mere fact that thousands of able bodied and intelligent men are now to be seen for weeks together enduring the most acute pri vations, and assembling night after night to hear exciting statements of what are called their wrongs, without the perpetration of any breach of the peace, is in itself the best and noblest seal that experience has ever set upon the wisdom of a righteous law. So far from count*. nancing any reactionary design to abridge this salutary freedom of the working classes, we shall ever contend that the policy in which it was con ceived ought to be carried still further. The Legislature more than twenty years ago resolved to tolerate discussions about time and wages : it would do still better if it took means to beer and to inolerA.and the controversies between capital and Labour. The vital interests of this country ; yet Park► are bound up in those . _ meat, which ought to be as a daes-nian between the great interests involved, thinks it does enough if it tits mutely by and does not interfere in a one-sided, partial, and oppressive way. Par liament, in which capital of every description is FASHIONS FOR JUNE. (From Le Fond. Summer toilet ie no longer a matter of prophecy. The bright and genial weather with which we have lately been favoured, baa enabled the fashionable' of Paris to display their taste to the best advantage, In adopt ing the light and elegant materials prepared for the present 10410111. represented, refuses a hearing to the representa tives of labour ; nay, when millions suppliantly ask that some half dozen or half score individuals should be admitted amongst the hundreds of the affluent and the high born, to plead their cause, the high born and the affluent raise an unmanly and undignified shout of terror, scorn, and aver ' sion, and do not disdain to resort to all sorts of expedients in the nature of evasion and delay to prevent even the working men's demand from being deliberately considered. Is it wonderful that burning and bitter exasperation should be engen dered by such conduct f And is it safe or sane at such a tune and under such circum stances to brandish insolent menaces against the established freedom of peaceful com bination for purposes connected with trade I A Legislature that understood its duty to the present and to the future would be alike inaccessible to despicable fears and to slavish and anti-social sug gestions. Instead of ignoring the vast and ver satile power of trade combination, or attempt ing once more to enchain it, a farsighted Legis lature would diligently seek the means of absorb ing to itself the hopes and sympathies of industry, sad would fool it to ho its maid ftriundon and most blessed duty to earn its confidence, and to provide equitably for the adjudication as far as possible of its differences with capital. Any other policy than this—to use the noble solecism of Be RKE— deserves the reprobation of being no policy at all. At present, for ont.of-doors dress, silks of a light shade have been mostly worn, and these generally made with looms. Drawee of stripes alternately white and coloured, trimmed with a broad flounce of the colour predominating la the materiel, are also seen. The **tot le the mantle most generally in vogue, made with large sleeves sad a pelerine. This is of guipure, of taffetas sad guipure, or of plain taffeta,, with a ruche or trimming of straw. The bottom of the sleeves and paletot should correspond in trimming with the pelerine. This form is very stylish sad becoming for ladies above the ordinary stature. Long casaques are generally only worn by yotuaggirls. Shawls of Indian muslin, with a wide Mechlin lace, will be greatly in favour. `e•NOR- Summer Zoitavee are made to wear with the quilting drawee, and are very pretty. They are of white quilting, or the same as the d.rees, and are of the game shape as those worn in the winter, and generally bound with • white braid. Light csahmere Zoneves are still trimmed with gold, but those c quilting may be trimmed with straw. Many dresses being made without flounces, or any similar ornament, passementerie is made in a variety of styles for trimming the fronte of skirts and bodies. The prettiest are in imitation of guipure ; others are little bells, or fuchaies, small rosettes of lace, plaita of silk, and cords of all kinds. This ornament is often used for bonnets. The cord then is made of straw, or a parti cular kind of silk ; and is twisted twice round the crown. and caught together at the side by • small bouquet of Sowers. Straw ornaments are very much in ♦ogee, both for bonnets and dresses. Not only are dresses em broidered with strew, seen, but also light silk and barne drawee have `ornaments of straw upon them. Thin dresses must be made very full, and the skirts Die *set on in hollow plait., but gathered. They are still trimmed round the bottom of the skirt with bouillonnes, plisse t la vieille, kr., of the same material. For in.doors or welkin dram, grisailies (or black and white mixed), taffetas, worked with little silk flowers of a contending oolour, groseille, green, violet, or blue, is suit able, or foulards —a material much patronised jest now. These may be made with a Polonaise, with a wide flounce, headed with a ruche. The bodies are usually open in front, with revers, trimmed with a little niche or frills. There Is nothing particular in the make of sleeves. Light sleeves do not bottom. fit quite no closely, and sae opened and rounded at the Cbt Court. 06BOR). - E, MAY 29. The Queen, the Prince Consort , Princeet Alice, the Princesses Helena and Louise, and Prince Arthes went to Whippingham at 11 o'clock, to lay the first stone ci the new church. Her Majesty was met at the church gate by the Rev. G. Prothero, who conducted the royal party to the place wheys the stone was to be laid. Prayers having been offered up for the nieces,s of the undertaking, some coins in a bottle were put in a cavity under the stone, when the Queen took a silver trowel sad some mortar, and spread it carefully over the surface where the stone was to be lowered; after which the dame was Maly set in its place, and the ceremony wee egadated with some appropriate prayers read by the it.,. G Prothere. Bonnets are worn still larger than they were last month. They are raised over the forehead, and much, trimmed in aide with ruches, or dowers. The niche is generally of crape, with white blonde at the cheeks. The trimming for the outside is very varied, but generally too voluminous to be elegant. Black lace, mixed with white tulle, nbbons, dowers, and feathers, are all worn. White crape bonnets, covered with black spotted net, and trimmed with bows of lace mixed with groeeille, blue or violet velvets, are much worn. Straw bonnets have generally a soft ilk crown, and are trimmed with niches of the same, an d frequently have large bunches of Sowers at the side. The Clotilde bonnet, made of pink crape, with a scarf of tulle illusion across, veiling a cluster of roses at the side, and falling over the pink strings. The crown entirely covered with small rosin, and fulling, of tulle. Ruche, of tulle, and small pink roses inside complete this charming bonnet, which is worthy of the name it bears. The insides of bonnets are very much trimmed—in many cases, far too much to be either becoming or elegant ; but this is a fashion we hope that will not be long in favour. For dress bonnets , crape, tulle, rice -straw, leghorn, mixed with tulle or straw, are equally fashionable. It has been said that the mixture of black and white could no longer be used. This has proved to be an error, as it is still very much worn, but generally with rose, lilac ,: or blue, which we think an improvement. Morning bonnets are trimmed very simply. A black or brown straw bonnet should have merely a b o uq ue t o f wild poppies, eorn.flowers, or wild roses with black strings, and black or brown curtain. The Duchess of Kent ►eft Osborne at two o'clock, and embarked on board the Fairy at Trinity Wharf, Esateowes. Her Royal Higbee*, proceeded to Windsor by Portsmouth.

Upon Monday last, the tith inst., the mortal remains of the late J. H. Glover, Eaq., librarian to the Queen, were deposited in the family vault at Upnor, near Slough. Mr. Glover had held the office of librarian at Windsor Caatlo since the year 1836, and by the zealous and faitnful discharge of his duties, as well as by his unaffected and amiable character, had secured for himself the respect mid esteem of her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Comm* who have been much grieved at the lose of an attactwid and valued member of their household. Dress bonnets have frequently a blonde veil ; those more simple a Chantilly ; and morning bonnets are worn without • veil.

PROPOSED SOUTH LONDON MUSEUM. A public meeting was held last evening at the Horns' Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of establishing • Museum iu the Routh of Loudon. W. ROUPELL, 1F4.1, took the chair, and informed the meeting that a select committee of the House of Commons had just recommended the opening of public institutions from 7 to 10 o'clock on the evenings of the week days, and also the formation of branch museums in the crowded dis tricts of the metropolis. He said he had been invited by a society of working men to aid them in establishing such a branch museum in South London. Mr. J. LANCE moved that this meeting is of opinion that there is an urgent necessity fur establishing a South London Museum. Mr. Ga.tc, one of the working men who waited upon Mr. Locko and Sir C. Napier with the proposal for the new museum, seconded the resolution, which was unanimously "atter. R. ROBINSON moved the following resolution : —" That this meeting is of opinion that a deputation should wait upon Lord Palmerston to crave the assistance of the government in furtherance of the obect, and that the chairman should request Lord Shaftes bury and the Ron. Arthur Kinnaird to head the deputation." The resolution was seconded by the Rev. J. THOMPSON Simi, and was also carried without dissent. The Rev. M'Cortnitt. ACBSZT moved "that this meeting is of opinion that the trustees of the British Museum should be requested to aid in the formation of • South London Museum, by donations or loans of surplus speci mens." This motion, haring been seconded by the Rey. P. J. Tc stursno, was mrl , 4d unanimously. Before the meeting dispersal, an announcement was made by Mr. Packer, the secretary. that negodations rare a-foot for procuring the Music•hall of the Barreppkiens for the proposed museum. SoCIITY or ARTR—At the meekl t i meeting of this society last evening, Thomas fiopwi Fen., F.R.8., in the chair, the paper read was " On Building Woods ; the causes of their decay and the means of preventing it ;" by Mr. G.

In reference to the Ent portion of his subject he discussed the various characters of trees suitable for build ing purpnees, pointing out their peculiarities of growth, and indicating the conditions moat favourable for obtaining them in their greatest perfection. A de scription of the timbers generally used for beading purposes in England was then given, the varieties of the oak, ash, and beech being those that occupied the principal share of the author's attention. Imported . woods, particu larly teak and mahogany, next came under review; and the maim then passed to the causes of the decay of converted timber, and the generally known processes for its preven tion. The first description of decay was that which none from organic decomposition in wool, and was produced by the changes which took place in the sap retained in the wood at the period of felling. TIM was to a greet extent obviated by proper seasoning, but the cause of decay known as dry-rot was more difficult to prevent. The various kind' of insects which preyed upon timber were then de scribed at some length, and the variotis processes generally need for the preservation of timber were also disctumed.

The following has been reoeived by Mr. Renter : NAPLES, WEDNESDAY MORNING, 9.30. The bombardment of Palermo lasted several hours. Garibaldi entered the town on the 27th. The besieging foram were not numerous, but being commanded by the heroic leader in person, the victory was obtained. The head-quarters of Garibaldi are in the centre of the town. The number of killed is large. Letters state that Garibaldi has established tele graphic communications between all the principal points which have fallen into his power, that he levies taxes regularly in the name of King Victor Emmanuel, and has remodelled to a certain extent the administrative organisation of the country. The various towns furnish provisions, stores, and horses, and the courts of law distribute justice re gularly, according to the Piedmontese code. (nom on owig Ei'RESS FROM PARIS. PARIS, WZDNISDAT EVININC. The Emperor leaves Paris for Lyons at 10 on Friday morning. He will be accompanied by only two or three members of his court, and the journey is to be styled incognito. On Saturday he will en tertain the Empress Dowager of Russia at a private dinner party at the prefect's palace. His Majesty is expected to return to Paris in the night of Satur day to Sunday. The news, therefore, that he was to accompany the Empress Dowager to Strasburg must be considered as incorrect. Yesterday evening I saw the Emperor in full uniform, with a cocked hat and feather on his head, passing through the Rue 29 Juillet iu a private brougham with no armorial bearings on the panel. A young gentleman in plain clothes was sitting by his side. The driver on the box was unaccom panied, and there was no servant behind. The Emperor constantly goes about Paris unattended, but it struck me as something very unusual that he should show himself thus conspicuously in a general's uniforn, without any apparent occasion for wearing it. Indeed, I could not find anybody to credit my assertion that I had seen him under such circumstances, although I was quite cer:ain that I could not be mistaken. The mystery is now explained. His Majesty was returning to the Tuileries from MM. Mayer and Pierson's photo graphic establishment in the Boulevards, whither he had been to have his portrait taken. There are people who profess to have observed that he always has a new portrait on the eve of au important event. Prince Jerome is again seriously ill ; indeed, his symptoms are so serious that, at his advanced age, the chances are very great that he will not recover. According to the Cologne Gazette, the Prince of Prussia, on the occasion of the opening of the rail way from Nahe to Sarrebruck, made a strongly accentuated patriotic speech, and said almost within the hearing of the Prefect of the Moselle, and the French General Maxey Monge, who had gone to Sarrebruck to pay him a complimentary visit, that " Prussia would never permit a single inch of German soil to be lost to Germany." The Gazette de Cologne adds that "these noble words pronounced by the august prince on the western frontier, produced an indescribable enthusiasm, and we believe we are not mistaken in Paying that they will be received with joy throughout Ger many." The Pays questions the accuracy of the above report, which, if true, will certainly aggra vate the sensation already produced by the speech to the Prussian Chambers. The Patric purposely abstains from noticing the matter. The Bourse was languid throughout the day. Great efforts have been made to get the Rents up to 70fr. for the settlement at the end of this month, and the interests involved in the attempt are very heavy. But there is now little hope of succeeding. The last quotations were 69fr. 50c. both for cash and accouns, being a fall of 10c. and sc. Mobilier rose 2fr. 60c. Credit Fonder fell lfr. 25c. The railways were from lir. 23c. to 3fr. 76c. lower. There is no authentic news about Garibaldi later than the Turin despatches of yesterday, stating that he had entered Palermo, and that the bombardment of the town was going on. In consequence of the annexation of Savoy and Nice, Grenoble is about to become the head quarters of a military territorial division, the command of which will probably be given to General Bourbaki. A Madrid letter of May 26 states that both the French and English ambassadors were to leave that capital on the 29th to confer with their govern ments on important affairs. The announcement has naturally excited much curiosity. On the 25th Mr. Buchanan had a long conference with Marshal O'Donnell, and it is said that the interview had reference to the departure of the Colon and Villa de Bilbao for Naples. The English ambassador wished to be sure that the Spanish government, whatever might happen to the Two Sicilies, would maintain a neutral attitude. The colours taken by the French army in Italy, and the two standards taken from the Moors, were yesterday conveyed from the Palace of the Tuileries to the Invalides, escorted by a detachment of the Cent Gardee. They were received by the governor of the hotel at the head of his staff, and imme diately deposited in the chapel, where they will henceforth remain. ITALY. SARDINIA. (TROY OUR OWN 001 )m.) TURIN, NAT 27. The telegraph has announoed to us the death of Rosolino Pilo Giveni, of the Counts of Capace. The name of Rosolino is venerated in Palermo and common to many Palermitans. Pilo is a family cognomen, borne by members of its various branches in several parts of Italy. Giveni is a corruption of Angioino, for this family is the only one that has descended to our times from the Angie, so you see to what an illustrious house this man belonged, who put himself at the head of the Sicilian revolu tion and has fallen in arms near Monreale, where he was fighting against the Bavarian mercenaries employed by the King of Naples. He is the younger brother of the Count of Capace, sa d th e family estate of that name, that confers the title, is held by thelatter under the law of primogeniture. Rosolino Pilo had been an exile since 1848. He was to have taken part in the expedition of Pisacaue to Capri, but missed the steamer, so that he has now been able to be useful to Sicily. But for this, he would have died to no purpose on Neapolitan soil, where ideas of liberty are still imperfectly understood, and where Bourbouic corruption has enervated men's minds. This Sicilian family records its ancestral acts, and amongst others the following anecdote may be of general interest. When the King of Naples was at Palermo in 1823, the old Count of Capace went to speak with him. After waiting two hours in the auto-chamber, he rose and said to the courtiers there assembled, "Tell your master that when his ancestors were butchering (the Bourbons descend notoriously from the butcher Capet), mine were governing." Having so spoken, he stalked out, and never showed himself at emit again. Well, returning to Rosolino Pilo, I send you a letter of his, written on the first day of the combat in which ho finally lost hie life. With the omission of a few passages, it runs as follows : • • To-morrow evening I march at the head of a thousand men to l'artinico, where I em to join the forces of Geri. bald!, pursuant to the orders I have received today by an °sprees messenger. Yesterdays column of five thousand Neapolitan Croats was beaten at QlMidini. They were attacked by Chiribaldi's column, and could not sustain the charge of our men, who, after two collies, attacked them at the point of the bayonet. At Partinioo the squadrons thrashed the royal troops, and the principal road was strewed with the balms of soldiers slain as they were innoing away. The cavalry was also beaten and the force that remained, to the number of 1,50 D, leaving reached Mootelepre, there fell into an am buscade prepared for them by the inhabitaats, and many saddles were empty. The Baron Sant' Anna and the Mar quia Fenicatura with their bonds have greatly harassed the head of the column retreating to Palermo.

The Vienna correspondent of the Times writes under date of Mendsy last :--" la the morning of the day before yesterday a batch of Irish volunteers reached Medd ling, a small place about three miles from Vienna on the southern railroad. In the course of the day two of the men wandered into the city, where they met with an Englishman, to whom they told a very lamentable story. They had been informed by a Mr. Sullivan, the editor of the Dublin Nation, that they might better their social position by going to Italy, and, having confidence in the judgment of their fellow-countryman, they determined to try their Inch. They were forwarded gratis to Liverpool, Antwerp, and Vienna, but were half starved after having quitted Bel gium. The men, who declared they had no idea that they were to serve is the Papal army until they reached this country, expressed • strong desire to return to their homes. They were advised to apply to the British minister for assistance, and it is probable they did so, as they ap peared to have • very great disinclination to continue their journey to the south. According to my informant the names of the men were M'Carry and Marron. About 400 Austrians left Meidling for Trieste and Anoona the day before yesterday. It ie supposed Meet the Irish volunteers will be drilled by Aos taisa cam% as six of the tatter ware on beard • veinal which, • few days ago, took 51 Irish recruits from Trieste to haw: That you may the better understand the boldnee, of this noble Sicilian, I need only tell you that for some month, past he had been travelling in Sicily under a false paisiport and with his hair dyed black, its natural colour being red ; he had scoured the island twice, his object being to ascertain the exact disposition of the people, and to concert the revolu tion with select agents. Perhaps, whilst writing to you his loss has been avenged, and Palermo, assaulted by Garibaldi from without, by the revo lutionists from within, has liberated itself, not without much blood, from the myrmidons of the tyrant. God grant it ! LEITER FROM PALERMO. The following letter, received tilt Malta, is from the correspondent who described Garibaldi's land ing in our columns : PALERMO, May 15. Before this reaches you a struggle will have taken place for Palermo. At this moment the fires of the inamgenta are to be seen on the surrounding hills. It is said that Garibaldi will attack the town of Monrmle to-morrow ; it is certain he is advancing as rapidly as circumstances will permit at the head of a body variously estimated at from fifteen to twisty thousand men. I hanlly think it pro bable, however, that he can be so near as Monreale by to morrow, considering the time of the departure from MarKtia, or that he can be prepared to make any serious attack until be has organised, in some degree at least, the large bodies of insurgents who are flocking to his standanL Of the ultimate fall of Palermo, ►nd indeed dell Sicily, I no one here entertains • doubt—the authorities the least of all. Several steamers have already left with the wives of officers and soldiers and their baggage ; and to-day se veral thousands of muskets were removed fromthe fort and despatched to Naples to prevent them falling into the hands of the rebels. So little confidence have they in the courage or the fidelity of the troops that, as an inducement to fight, they have been promised forty-eight hours' pillage of Palermo if they succeed in beating off Garibaldi. This report, infamous as it is, I firmly believe to be true ; but it does not create so much alarm as it otherwise might, owing to the almost universal conviction of Garibaldi' success ; yet it shows forcibly enough the paternal chin meter of the government, and may be very fairly taken as a measure of the truth of all the assertions which have been so constantly made as to the peace and tranquillity of the city of Palermo since the 4th of April, when the rave. lution commenced. Proclamations declaring Palermo in a state of siege are at this moment being posted about the streets. As is usual in such cases, death is the only punishment for all offences, death for being out after 7 p.m., death for assembling in groups, &c. ; and from the state of terror the authorities are in, there is little doubt of it. provisions being carried out with the strictest severity of martial law. Surely this may be taken as a specimen of the confidence of the King in his Sicilian subject]. Prints Castelcicala, the Viceroy, very quietly left Palermo last night for Naples. No doubt he will have a very en couraging account of his stewardship to render to the King, After the 4th of April there was a most barefaced attempt to implicate the English, and again the authorities are en deavouring to make it appear that Garibaldi owes his suc cess to English assistance. Upon the receipt of the news of his successful landing at Marsala, the infamous Mariam. leo stated positively that the insurgents had been aided by the English ahips of war, which, he said, had purposely placed themselves in such positions that the frigate and steamers could not fire upon them. Her Majesty's ship Argus arrived hem this morning from Marsala, and from her we learn that the Intrepid was for some time between the insurgent steamers and the Neapo litans, but that this could not be the result of design, seeing that the English vessels were at anchor for some time before the insurgent force made its appear. ance at all, and they assert that it was really astonishing to witness the pertinacity with which the King's ships kept " hanging on," apparently with no other object than that of keeping the Intrepid between themselves and any fire the insurgents might have been disposed to favour them with. It appears that the Neapolitan officer made some absurd request, that an English boat might accompany one of his to go in and demand the surrender of Garibaldi and his men, which woe of course declined, and he was also informed that several English officers were on shore ; but I am certain from my knowledge of the place, and from the position of the several vessels, that by a little skill and energy, immense mischief might have been done to the in surgents without the slightest risk of damage to English ships, or officers, or factories. The charge of English com plicity is therefore nothing more than an excuse for grow neglect of duty or cowardice. Indeed I have spoken to a gentleman myself, who said that Garibaldi expressed great surprise at the supineness of the Neapolitans. Garibabli's words are said to have been, " That man is either a traitor or a coward," at the same time he smilingly expressed his obligations for so much forbearance. A great many of the gates leading into the city are being blocked up with nand-bags, and several of the streets have ditches dug across them and barricades of sand-bags for the protection of the soldiers. Another significant symptom is that the police agents (against whom there is a very bitter feeling) are beginning to disappear one by one. Yesterday the Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Institutes held their twenty-third anniversary at 01ley, in Wharfedale. Mr. Baines, M.P., presided at the meeting. Amongst the visitors present were Lord Ashburton, Mr. Monckton Milees, M.P., Mr. Dent, M.P., Mr. Greenwood, M.P., and some local gentlemen. THE SPIRITS AT TEE Tummies —When we in serted the article on " Spiritualism at the Tuileries," we took care to have our facie from one of the four persona present, and we gave his name, and we again vouch fee the truth of the narrative; and we affirm that a hand dill appear before the Emperor, the Empress, the Duchess de Monte bello, and Mr. Home, and did take up a pen and write the word " Napoleon" in the autograph of the Emperor, and that such writing is still in the possession of the E mperor Louis Napoleon. We will give PunrA another fact about the Emperor. Our readers are familiar with the autographs and other writings obtained through the mediumship of the Baron Goldenstabbe, consisting of a series of the names of kings, queens, and princes of the royal houses of France and of other eminent person!. These were obtained by placing blank pieces of paper on their tombs or statues. The Emperor sent for the baron sonic time ago, and gave him a private audience of an hour, during which he exa mined these writings, and afterwards compared them with the real autographs in the royal archive., and found them to be foe ! He also granted to the Baron access to the archives, and he, too, has made the comparison with the same re sult. The priests at St. Denis will not allow the baron to deposit his paper there, because they say "if dixturbe the joule of the departed." We have seen re. neatly the whole series of these wonderful writings.—The Spirdual Magazine for June. MORTAR PRACTlCE.—Yestorday afternoon the 3rd battery Ist brigade Garrison Artillery, in command of Lieut.-Col. and Brevet-Col. De Riney, assembled in the mortar battery park, adjoining the Royal Artillery barracks, Woolwich, and fired four rounds of neuter practice, the target being, as usual, a flagstaff about 30 feet high bearing a union jack, erected on Woolwich-oommon, over a range of 100 yards. The barrack field forming a portion of the in tervening space between the battery and the flagstaff was occupied by squads _of recruits belonging to the depot and men of the 4th brig ade under drill, and other portions of the field were taken up with various parties of officers and soldiers engaged in the game of cricket. The review-ground near the flagstaff Wad onuverted into& drill -groutul for pitching and striking tents, under rehearsal of that part of the pro endings intended to be carried out on Dartford-heath on Friday next, and had the appearance of a bivouac of troops on the march. The whole available battalion of the Royal Marines, in command of Colonel Stmnsliani, were also on the ground under a course of summer drill and rifle practice. Woolwich was unusually crowded with holiday folks, and great numbers were attracted to the locality by the firing and other circumstances, necessitating reloulde.l caution on the part of the provosts and sentries to keep the ground free within a certain distance of the flagstaff, marked oufr as dangerous to the approach of visitors, the mortar shells whizzing through the air with great velocity, and falling from 10 to 40 and 50 yards in every direction from and about the target. In the third round the firing was ex ceedingly precise, the fifth shell from the mortar glancing along apparently within a hairsbreadth of the mark. The next shot, fired with a 10-inch shell, struck the flagstaff about a foot below the flag, shivering it in splinters and bringing the flag to the ground, the shell being found buried about three feet beneath the shingle twelve feet beyond. A loud shout of applause and clapping of hands thereupon ensued, and the flagstaff having been Limbed up and re placed, the firing continued with fair remits.
