7HE NAVY. The Duke of Somerset, the First Lord ; Vice-Ad miral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey, K.C.8., Rear-Ad miral C. Eden, C:B., Rear-Admiral C. Frederick, Capt. the Hon. J. R. Drummond, C. 8., Junior Lords ; and Rear-Admiral Lord C. Paget, First Secretary of the Admiralty, leave London by spe cial train this morning for Shoeburyness, to witness some interesting experiments with the heavy Arm strong guns. Several military officers will also attend on the occasion. The iron frigate Resistance, 18, 600-horse power, 3,668 tons, at present attached to the first-class steam reserve in the Medway at Chatham, has been commissioned by Capt. William C. Chamberlain (1856) late of the Racoon, 22, 400-horse power, who yesterday hoisted the pendant on board that vessel. She is to have complement of 455 officers and men, including 30 non-commissioned officers and men of t h e Royal Marines from the Chatham division, and 1 subaltern, and 37 men of the Royal Marine Artillery from Portsmouth. The Edgar, 86, screw, Capt. Mends, is dismant - ling in the ship basin at Portsmouth, for paying out of commission. She is to be recommissioned imme diately, report says, for the flag of Rear-Admiral Dacres, as second in command in the Mediterranean. It was considered probable that the body of me chanics employed on the iron frigate Achilles, 51, who struck work at Chatham dockyard on Thursday afternoon, would resume their employment next morning, but at the hour of opening the yard not a single man of the whole number who turned out on the previous day presented himself at the gates, and it therefore appears that the men are firm in their resolve not to re-enter the yard as long as ship wrights are employed on the iron ship. As soon as it was found that the men who voluntarily quitted their work would not return, another body of ship wrights was placed on the Achilles, and, acting on instructions received from the Admiralty, a third party was removed to that vessel from the iron plated frigate Royal Oak on Friday afternoon. The mechanics on strike an:oot complain of the insuffi ciency of the wages paid them—skilled mechanics obtaining from 7s. to Bs. 6d. per day—nor of the number of hours they are required to work. Their sole ground of complaint is that shipwrights are employed on work which they cannot perform, and that ultimately they will monopolise the whole of the labour connected with iron shipbuilding at the royal dockyards. At present the strike is confined to the platers, rivetters, and angle-iron smiths. The number who had left their work up to Friday is about one hundred. Notwit hstandin g the attempts made by the workmen who have quitted the yard to induce the hammermen, holders-up, chippers, and labourers to leave their work, no dis position has yet appeared among them to join in the strike. Arrangements were on Friday made by the Admiralty to procure a fresh supply of hands to take the places of those who had left work, and under no circumstances will any of those men who are out on strike be allowed to resume work at Chatham Dockyard. After the weekly payment of the ordinary workmen of the yard had been made on Friday, the men on strike were admitted to receive their pay, which was handed to them in the presence of Capt. Fanshawe, by Mr. Clut worthy, the accountant ; after which the mechanics again left the yard. On Friday the chairman, secretary, and some of the leading committee of the Trades' Union, arrived at Chatham from Manches ter and London, and commenced an organisation for preventing any new hands being allowed to enter the dockyard to take the place of those on strike. A strong body of police is on duty in and near the dockyard to prevent intimidation towards workmen who may be desirous of entering the yard. On Saturday Mr. Lang, the master ship builder, proceeded to London to have an interview with the Admiralty on the course to be adopted under the present circumstances, as the works in connection with building the Achilles will be nearly at a standstill unless skilled mechanics can be obtained to take the places of the men who have struek. The workmen boast that they have a fund amounting to some thousands of pounds at their disposal, and can not only decline to work them‘ , selves, but can also prevent a single hand from entering tne yarn tor several mourns to come. Each of the men on strike is paid the sum of 12s, per week during the whole time the strike lasts. In consequence of the demand which now exists for skilled first class mechanics, most of the turnouts have already obtained employment. In consequence of this sudden and unlooked-for strike the comple tion of the Achilles will be delayed several months. Since the Admiralty order for the mechanics and other workmen employed at Chatham dockyard to be allowed leave of absence, in detachments, for the purpose of visiting the International Exhibition, it has been decided to grant the whole body of officers and workmen of that establishment two complete days' holiday on Monday and Tuesday, the 28th and 29th inst., so that the yard will be closed from early on the previous Saturday afternoon until the following Wednesday morning. Orders have been received at Portsmouth to allow the officers and men three days leave to visit the Exhibition. The Swedish sailing frigate Norrkoping, 32 guns, Capt. Aldersparre, arrived at Spithead on Satur day, 24 days from Boston, United States, bound to Stockholm. The Severn, 51, 500 horse-power, attached to the Chatham Steam Reserve, is ordered to proceed to Plymouth, where she is to be commissioned for service in the East Indies. She will hoist the broad pendant of Captain F. B. Montressor. A party of 150 seamen, riggers, and stokers have ar rived to assist in navigating her round to Plymouth. The Rattler, 17, 200 horse-power, belonging to the steam reserve in the Medway, was commissioned on Saturday by Commander Edward H. Howard (1857) for service in China. Her detachment of Royal Marines will be selected from the Chatham division. The hired transport Tyrell, Capt. P. Morgan, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from China' with Government stores, and military and naval in valids. She sailed from Hongkong on the 14th of February, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on the 15th of April, and sailed again on the 20th, calling in at St. Helena on the 13th May, and sailing again from thence on the 15th. Fi ne wea th er p reva il e d during the ent ir e homeward voyage. Off soundings, in lat. 40 and long. 2‘; 931 immense number of ves sels were seen making f or the English Channel. The Tyrell has brought hom e 20 military invalids, chiefly from the Arm y Hospital Corps a n d th e 99th Regiment, and a few nav al in valids, in cha r ge o f board Lieut. Heron, R,N., Admiralty agent on ard and staff-assist-surgeon Hoile. She a lso p; brought home invalided Mr. Singer, acting chief-ma engine er , f rom H.M.S. Renard, and second-class assistsen g i„, er Beazeley, from th e fl a gship on the station. O r d ers were received at P or t sm outh last evening for the Tyrell to land her invalids and proceed on to Wool wich to discharge her cargo. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Robert C. Scott, surgeon to the Resistance; John M. Bateson, assist-surg• to the Resistance ; Richard Holman, chief engineer to the Fisgard, for the Alecto ; Josh. Deal, chief engineer to the Resistance ; H. H. Mothersole, engineer to the Cumberland, for the Mayflower; Neil Brodie, engineer to the Resistance George Batchelor, supernumerary in the Fisgard, to the permanent list as engineer ; Richard Mockett and T. F. Hight, first• class assist.-engineer to the Resistance ; V . C. Friend, second-class assist-engineer to the Resist ance; J. R. Abbott and James M‘Millan, acting second-clads assist.-engineers to the Resistance ; Richard W. E. Middleton, master's-assist. to the Defence, and Francis A. Symcs, master's-assist. to the Shannon.

Le Merchant delivered the following ad dress on the recent departure of the 21 battalion of the Buffs from Malta to Gibraltar. Its compli mentary terms will be fully appreciated by those who know how chary this officer is in bestowing words of praise. Addressing the majors, the offi cers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the Buffs, Sir Gaspard said— " The exigencies of the service have caused your removal to another command. I attend this parade previous to your embarkation in her Majesty's ship Hi ma l a ya to express the regret I feel at your departure. Four years back you arrived in this garrison a body of recruits ; you now quit it as efficient a body of soldiers as the service can show. You are admirably appointed; your movements in the field combine celerity with perfect steadiness under arms, and you have attained that.high degree of drill which bespeaks at every step the marked attention of your officers, and the careful performance of their duties by your non-commissioned :officers in their respective com mands. No regiment can attain a high point of excellence that neglects its moral obligations, and I have much gratification in thus publicly stating that, while crime has decreased in your ranks, you have advanced in your duties as soldiers. Your conduct in and out of quarters has been such as to merit my full approbation. Persevere in the per formance of these high obligations, and you cannot fail to acquire the good opinion of your future General, as you have won from me my confidence and esteem. Ido rot know what corps you may meet; doubtless you will meet many corps in a high state of discipline ; but recollect you will disappoint me if I do not hear that you have taken a feather out of more than one cap of those who stand beside you on parade, and thereby prove that you are worthy of the high opinion I this day express of your merits. I regret that Lieut.-Col. Sargent is not this day on parade. He commands my full confidence. Obey barn: as you have hitherto done ; 5 ou cannot follow a better chief. But forget not the obligations you owe to y our former gallant leader, Col. Maude. Soldiers, I shall watch your career with interest and with pleasure, and believe me when I say I wish you happiness, in whatever part of the world you may be called upon to serve by our Queen and country. Should the tide of war again pass over Europe, I should be proud indeed to see your colours unfurled under my command. Major Buke, officers, non-commis sioned officers, and soldiers, God bless y ou and good bye ! Yonca lsecui,y ana sincere p r ayers for your honour and prosperity. , " The troops of the Maidstone Cavalry Depot, com prising men from every cavalry regiment on the home establishment, have been twice inspected during the past week, on Tuesday by General Laurenson (Inspector-General of Cavalry), and on Saturday by the Duke of Cambridge, General Com manding-in-Chief; the object of the latter inspec tion was the dismissal of the various " Rides " to join their respective regiments. His Royal High ness was accompanied by General Laurenson, General the Hon. Yorke Scarlett (Adjt.-General), General Sir De Lacy Evans, and Col. Henry, of the riding establishment, Royal Horse Artillery, Wool wich. Col. Gibson escorted the Duke of Cambridge to the barracks, where he inspected the troops in complete marching order. The men then went through various evolutions under the command of Captain and Adjutant Miller, and afterwards the "Rides " of men and officers attached to the garrison were inspected. The riding establish ment then formed up in the field attached to the barracks, and went through practice at heads and posts, the sword, lance, leaping, and pursuing exercises, and the attacking and capturing guns with the lasso. The men were then formed into line, and advanced to the front, when the Gene ral Commanding-in-Chief expressed his warm ap probation of the skill and efficiency they had that day manifested. The garrison at Maidstone was in a state of the highest efficiency. From this he trusted he should never see it recede. The men were then dismissed for a time, but in a few minutes they again assembled on the parade in full dress, marched past the General in slow and quick time, went through the sword exercise, and gave a Royal salute. His Royal Highness said that the disci pline of the men reflected the highest credit upon the officers. After the plans of the projected new barracks had been shown and explained by Cap Lynch, R.E., the Duke and his suite left the garri son and returned to town. In consequence of the Royal Marine Artillery being considerably below its proper strength, an order was on Friday received by Col. T. Lemon, C. 8., commandant at Chatham, from the Admiralty, directing volunteering to be at once commenced Clam, alyloluu ur I.uyal;lVlttrlueti. lumieCUALUly uu the announcement that volunteering was opened upwards of 200 men offered themselves, but only a porton of that number will be selected, and the names forwarded to the Marine-office for approval. The qualifications required of volunteers for the Royal Marine Artillery are that they shall be at least sf. Bin, in height, of strong muscular frame, with a good character, and able to read and write, with ease. The strength of the Marine Artillery is kept up entirely by volunteering from the light infantry companies, recruiting for that division not being resorted to. THE GRAND NATIONAL RIFLE CONTEST. Saturday's programme was of a more varied cha racter than that of any of the four preceding days, and was, in fact, the only one offering any strong inducement to the general public to visit Wimble don-common for the purpose of witnessing those competitive struggles for the superiority of rifle practice, which the institution of this annual na tional contest was originally designed to promote among our volunteers. Not only were the different competitions of the week, viz., those for the Queen's Prize (first stage), the Association Cup, the All corners, and the extra prizes—to say nothing of the sighting targets, pool practice, and the Run ning Deer, continued ; but there were also intro duced the contests for the St. George's Vase and and the Harold Cup, the still more interest ing contest for the Ashburton Challenge Shield among the public schools ; and, above all, the excit , ing and novel match between the two houses of parliament. With such a diversified and interesting pro gramme a large attendance of spectators had been confidently anticipated ; and this anticipation would doubtless have been fulfilled but for the un propitious state of the weather. Gun-fire, at half past nine, found the sky clear and the atmosphere dry, but soon the clouds began to gather overhead ; and after a few brief showers the rain set in in ear nest about 12 o'clock, pouring down as if with a fell determination to spoil the sport of the day for wore then an hour, End with an apparent probabi lity of a prolonged continuance. This led to vague suspicions that the parliamentary contest, the great event of the day, might possibly be postponed, for there were many who wondered whether our here ditary and representative legislators would be equal to the effort of standing to their arms and their targets amid the pelting of the pitiless storm. But just before one o'clock, and while the rain was com ing down with relentless energy, the champions of the Upper House drove on to the ground in grand etYle;in three fours-in-hand, and their opponenis of the Lower House were not long behind them. Then in a fe w minutes the rain ceased, the clouds dis persed, 'and the 131111, shining out warm and plea santly, soon licked up the greater portion of that superabundant moisture which the porous soil had failed to absorb. s oon after came the different re presentatives of th e public schools, the Etonians (mustering with their co mpanions some 40 strong) the Harrovia ns, the Ru rapidly succeed e d each other, and m, •371 t es, withas and t hf t aa h ts e ,h t l nh a ao r bu l bl although while carriages filled up to the antici roughians, rians galloped about i n scores. Nume gatatlilraendt e l aciduieesst, i e d v n i s o i t t ors quiteon c f o o o m t , e Nume rous attendance t d h at half-past two, h pated point, the ground when the rival champions were paraded before the tent ap propriated to the use of the council, wore an ai r of the forms and even of gaiety. Those to whom forms and f aces o f our legislators are not famili ar pressed closely in for the purpose of studying fie science of parliamentary physiognomy, and snaking themselves acquainted with parliamentary men and manners under circumstances so novel and exciting. Strange remarks Were made occasionally, not unfavourable, nor altogether uncomplementary; but it was noted by keen eyes that my Lord So , - and-So had come to Wimbledon with a shabby coat, and that Mr. This-or-That wore a shocking had hat—which was true—but then it was gene rally admitted that anything Was good enough for VIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1862. Wimbledon on a rainy day, and it was surmised that those of the competitors who were not in volunteer uniform were attired as on their actual days of partridge shooting or deer stalking. To set at rest all questions of precedence, or more probably to preclude the possibility of any such question arising, the names were called alphabeti cally, and it was arranged that the firing should be in that order; and thus ran the list of the eleven chosen marksmen of the House of Lords—viz., the Marquis of Abercorn, Earl of Airlie, Lord Bolton, Earl of Ducie, Lord Londesborough, Lord Lovat, Duke of Marlborough, Earl Somers, Lord Suffield, Lord Vernon, and Lord Wharncliffe. And thus the list of the crack shots of the House of Commons —viz., Lord Bury, Mr. Dillwyn, Lord Elcho, Mr. Forster (Bradford), Lord Grey de Wilton, Earl Grosvenor, Mr. Leslie, Mr. Hastings Russell, Mr. Talbot, Mr. H. Vivian, and the Hon. H. Wy ndham, The general public looking at the two sq uads were at a complete loss as to their respect ive merits ; but the knowing ones backed the Lor ds, freel y offering three and even five to one, and ruling decisively that the Commons had not the ghost of a chance. Just to the be f buttor ethree d t t oe, to ck the two squads moved them o at short range, viz., t us allo clo 200 yards, and there squatted themselves down on the ground before two targets within seven or eight yards of each other—the public schools at the same time taking their places at contiguous targets, so that the whole interest of the afternoon was concentrated around one particular spot. To keep off the pressure of the crowd ropes had been stretched for a considerable distance at the back of the firing posts, behind which was a closely set row of chairs, borrowed for the occasion from the parks, and which were appropriated solely to the use of the ladies, those of the fair sex who could not be so accommodoted being allowed to enter within the enclosure, where they sat on shawls of their own or on top-coats and Mackintoshes, carefully spread out for them by husbands, or fathers, or brothers, or friends ; and it was now that the scene became lively, picturesque, pic-nicish, and English. The sun's rays were reflected from the barrels of hundreds of rifles, and brought out into stronger re lief the flashing colours of scores of parasols, bright shawls, and gorgeously-trimmed bonnets. All ranks and conditions mixed freely together; every body seemed to recognise everybody, and every where was enjoyment. It was the Derby-day over again, only upon a small, a very small, scale. It had been said that Prince Napoleon would come, and the Duke of Cambridge, but neither of these illus trious personages was present, nor was Lord Chan cellor Westbury, nor Mr. Speaker, in robe and wig. Among those who were present, however, we ob served the Lady Constance Grosvenor, Lord Clyde, Lord Sefton, Lord Eversley, Lord Llanover, the Dake of Sutherland, Mr. Childers, M.P., General Eyre, Sir G. Womwell, &c, At three o'clock the signal gun announced the opening of the contest, and at once the word was given, the score being kept for the Lords by Capt. Bythersea, of the 3d Royals; and by Capt. Woods, 3d Buffs, for the Commons. The Marquis of Abercorn led off the fire at tar get 28, making a centre, and so scoring two points and a hit with his first shot ; Lord Bury following at target 29, with the same result. The Duke of Marlborough and Lord Wharncliffe each made a bull's-eye (or three points and a hit) with his first shot; but no bull's-eye was made by the Commons until the second round, when it was done by Lord Bury and Lord Elcho. The firing throughout at this range was so even up to the last round as leave it doubtful whether the Lords would sustain their re putation. Every centre, more especially every bull's eye, called forth a hearty burst of cheering from one side or the other, and as this was also the case with regard to the coincident struggle of the public schools, a stranger to English manners and customs might have imagined that the crowd was frenzied with excitement. The firing was kept up pretty regularly, but the Commons were somewhat quicker than their opponents, and had completed their seven rounds before their opponents had finished their sixth. At the conclusion of the firing at this range Captain Bythersea and Captain Woods read off their scores for the satisfaction of the contending parties, giving a total of 204 points and hits for the Lotus, ana tor the Uommons, showing a majo rity of 7 in favour of the former. The official return in connexion with this match was as follows :- 200 yards. 500 yards. Gross LORDS. Pts. Hits. Pts. Hits. Total.

" And now," said Lord Elcho, " Let's give one cheer more for the licking we mean to give 'em next year." The Commons cheered accordingly; the Lords again responded, but this time a little derisively, and then they passed away from the firing posts, Lord Elcho, in a semi-comic tone, re marking, Sic transit gloria--. Just at that moment a mighty cheer arose from the targets immediately to the left, and a glance told the spectators that Harrow had prevailed in the contest of the public schools. Later in the evening, when the Harrow boys were on the point of taking their departure, the unsuccessful Etonians surrounded them, and cheered them off the ground with the heartiness of good will, and an utter freedom from the pangs of jealous ambi tion ; owing probably to the fact, as much as any thing else, that in the competition which followed, that for the Ashburton shield, and which was con fined to the best shot of Claeh eleven of the four schools, Eton bore off the prize. kett, Civil Service, 29 ; Oxley, 19th Middlesex, 29 ; Clitheroe, Ist Lincoln, 29. The tie between Mr. Leete and Mr. Ferguson will be shot off to-day at noon. The result of that shooting will give the vase either to the Queen's (Westminster), or the Ist Inverness, and will also decide whether Mr. Leete or Mr. Ferguson shall take Ist or 2d prize (the gold and silver jewel of St. George), which go to the best two shots. The twenty-nines will also shoot off their ties, to deter mine which of them shall receive the honorary dis tinction of the third prize, a bronze cross of St. George. The Harold Cup, value £52, presented by Lieut. VT. F.

At 600 yards, Moir, 23d Stirling, and Diney, 28th Middlesex, made 19 ; and De Gendre (Swiss) and Young, Ist Stirling, scored 18, hits and points included in all cases. Some goad scores were also made in the competi tion for the extra prizes, the shooting for the first series of which closes to-night. For the Association Cup no returns were issued. The grievance of the disqualification for rejected rifles still continues, although Mr. Ross's rifle was returned from Enfield on Saturday with an un favourable report; which prima facie justifies the decision of the council in an individual case. Still the general question continued to excite a good deal of bitter comment, and a formal protest was made on Saturday by Ensign Murdocke, of the Ist Edinburgh, one of the disqualified, and who claims the right of competing in the second stage of the Queen's prize whatever the result of his protest may be. The programme for to-day, in addition to the As sociation Cup, the All Corners, the extra prizes, the running deer, and pool, embraces the competition between Oxford and Cambridge, commencing at three o'clock; Lord Vernon's prize, Messrs. Ely's prize, and the Oaks. THE LEGI77IIIIS7 GATHERING. Nineteen years have passed away since M. Berryer and other distinguished partisans braved the horrors of the Channel to pay, in Belgrave square, their homage to the illustrious Pretender whom they revered as the true monarch of France. These meetings have been often repeated in diffe rent places and in many widely diverged states of political relations, but they have never attained such numerical importance as the great pilgrimage which has this year drawn some 4,000 Legitimists to the shores of the Lake of Lucerne. If all these people return to their homes and move in French society unchallenged by the Government it will show, we think, no small moder a ti on on th e par t of the Emperor. Nothing, indeed, is more difficult to comprehend than the remorseless severity of his internal policy at one moment, and its extraordi nary lenity at another. But a few years ago long files of well-educated men, who had committeki no crime, were marched through the streets on their way to Cayenne, and no persons at least as hostile to his throne are allowed, it would seem, at least for one little hour, to conspire as they please. To say that the deportations of 1852 and 1858 were the result of extreme fear is hardly a sufficient expla nation. It seems to be the fashion in this country to treat this Legitimist congress rather as a joke than as a serious demonstration. We suspect that this is a mistake, and that the Legitimist party is really stronger than many believe. It is not very largely represented in Paris, and most Englishmen generalise a little too hastily from what they find in that city. The " real old bats of bigotry" do not cross our path. They sulk in the provinces, writing books about the genealogies of themselves and their neighbours, and grumbling about the Pope, or they give themselves up to mere gaiety and " le sport," or they improve their fortunes by commercial speculations ; but they are nume rous, and if united and in earnest might at any moment be formidable, supported, as they would at present be, by a large portion of the clergy. We cannot be too often reminded that religion is a great power in the France of 1862 The ouvrier class in the capital, and, indeed, generally, is hostile to it; but the bourgeoisie has of late become pious out of oppo sition to the ruling powers. Not only on great occasions, as when le Pere Felix preaches at St. Roch or Notre Dame, or when some great function is celebrated at the Madeleine, but habitually, the churches of Paris are thronged. The reaction of the last fifty years, which in England has turned to the advantage of inumerable sects, has in France, for all political purposes, turned to the advantage of the Church of Rome only. The teaching of a man like Renan is for the few ; and French Protes tantism, except as represented by the school of Strasburg, is intellectually defunct. When Gen. Delmas was questioned by Napoleon after the great ceremony in Notre Dame which took place in hon our of the Concordat of 1802, he replied, "Nothing was wanting but the million of men who have perished in order to destroy what you have now re established." Re-established it has been to some purpose; and this the Count de Chambord knew well when he advised his friends to sink their poli tical differences, and vote for the Pope's friends. One good turn deserves another. We do not assert that the heir of St. Louis has any reasonable pros pect of returning to the throne of his ancestors. On the contrary, we think that such an event is ex tremely improbable ; but France is the country of surprises, and the gagging of the press makes it impossible to do more than conjecture the state of public feeling. Most men of Royer Collard's turn of mind would, after all that passed, prefer in all probability an Orleans prince as the person most likely to be able to work Parliamentary system in France ; but some sensible people are undoubtedly of a different opinion, and the well-grounded hope that the " lily will never blossom" is a temptation to end the struggle between the two lines by rallying round the one which has strict legal right on its side. To the question—Has England anything to gain by the restoration of the elder branch ? even those who are least well-affected to the imperial regime must re turn a direct negative. No body of educated Frenc hmen hates us so bitterly as do the partisans of the ' Count de Chambord, for they are actuated not only by that sentiment of dislike, a grain or two of which is to be found in the heart of the least pre judiced of their countrymen, not only by the uneasy feeling of a proud and irritable race which was worsted in its last struggle with us, but by the con viction that in the English people the principle of the right divine and the pretentious of the Roman Church have their most uncompromising opponents. We claim and exercise the right to criticise in the strongest way the government of the Emperor. We desire to see the popular mind in this country far more enlightened than it is as to the methods by which he seized, as well as to some of those by which he retains power ; but we have no to his dynasty. Bonapartism without chauvinism is as welcome to us as any political war-cry which is raised among our neighbours. We respect the defenders of the old parties. We feel that we may one day find ourselves supporting the pretensions of an Orleanist Prince ; but we do so only because we are possessed by the fear that the Bonaparte family will never frankly commit itself to constitutional government, and that some morning we may wake up to find the decree of the 24th Novembr, 1860, rescinded as suddenly as it was made, and a soldier of the Espinasse stamp disposing of the lives and liberties of the best of his fellow-citizen& If the ruler of France will only carry oat the policy which Napoleon 111. is, we believe, really desirous to carry out in Italy; if he will weigh with a heavy hand upon priestcraft ; if, further, he will, as speedily as may be, restore freedom to his people, he will have, not the respect and confidence of Englishmen, for we cannot forget the past ; but he will have at least all the support which public opinion in England can give him. Nine men out of ten on this side of the Straits will sympathize with 011iver, who is content that bygones should be bygones, rather than with those who are eternally longing for the old names and the old leaders. Those who are person ally acquainted with the Count de Chambord declare that he has many qualities which are desirable in a constitutional king. It is quite possible that in the event of the sudden death of the Emperor, some of the military chiefs in whose hands the destinies of France would for several days be balanced might declare for the elder line. Should this ever occur we trust that the Roman question may have been previously settled. It will mbe someth fro i m the path of ng if one opportunity for blundering is removed ,---London Review. THE COLLIERY LLANELLY. INUNDATION AT LLANELLY, SATURDAY. The terrible catastrophe briefly telegraphed on . Friday has thrown a gloom over this town, which has been particularly free from colliery accidents, such works. An occur rencealthough surr ounded b y somewhat similar happened in the Gwen draeth valley some years ago, when a number of lives were lost by the flooding of a coal • mine, and a long time elapsed before the bodies were recovered. In the present case there is also some delay in re covering the bodies. The the - fll owi• o ng is a brief state ment of the facts attending 7o prese n t catastrophe. There were about men and boys at work at the Old Castle Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Willyams, Neath, and Co., on Wednesday night. Three veins of coal we re in work at the time; in the lowest, called the t 4 hussy" vein, four colliers were working; in the second, about 19 fathoms above the lowest , there were only two men. The and rest of the men boys were engaged in the top most vein, ca ll e d the little vein. About one o'clock on Thursday m the orning, without any previous Warn ing,water broke into the colliery from an old working of an adjoining pit called the Bres Col liery, and Old Castle poured into the lower workings of the Old swee ping all before it. ' Th e The four men i n the bussy vein and the two in the one above called the golden vein and drowned, but the 60 meni were sw e pt away in the little vein had time to make their escape by a small pit which had been recently opened to allow of escape in case of accident. The colliery is situate in a low position, not far from the sea, and close .. to the town. The water has been rising in the flooded colliery ever since it first broke in, TIIE QUEEN'S PRIZE.

Saturday's attendance was excellent in point of numbers, and unexceptionable as regards the rank and fashion of the visitors. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was an early visitor, and re mained till the afternoon, inspecting the picture galleries and annexes. The nave, as usual on these days, was a long and brilliant promenade, the num bers in which as the day advanced received con siderable accessions from the visitors to the Horti cultural Gardens. Still, though the nave was the fashion, a fair proportion of the visitors was distri buted among the side courts and galleries, admiring their contents, in which it is quite easy to find fresh beauties at every visit. The English furniture court, we are glad to say, is steadily rising in popu lar admiration, and especially in the admiration of those whose approbation is almost fame. None are more hearty and more unqualified in their praise of its contents than the great French and Austrian ex hibitors in the same class. In this court, as in all others, the best things have been sold long ago; clocks, watches, philosophical instruments, bronzes, furniture, porcelain, tapestries, silks, and laces—all the things worth having, in short, have found eager purchasers competing for their possession. None have been more astonished at the demand than the exhibitors themselves, who mostly state that they could have sold ten times the amount they had in the building ; and some of the most fortunate have received orders which will keep their hands full of business fcr the next 10, or even 15 months. In the Indian collection there were at first some wonderful bargains to be had, especially in the enamelled gold work of Jeypore and the filligree silver of Cuttack. These were soon found out and bought, and the fame of their cheapness spread, and the collection was invaded by eager customers, who have bought up nearly every thing, and of course all the textiles, from the fairy webs of Dacca muslin to the gorgeous shawls of Delhi, or thick soft fabrics of Cashmere. We may add that the attraction of this court to general visi tors has been much enhanced by giving conspicuous positions to the two stuffed specimens of Royal tigers which form most characteristic ornaments of the collection. They are now placed where their huge proportions can be closely scanned, and they excite such an amount of interest on shilling days that it is difficult to get near the cases at all. Both these gigantic brutes were shot by Colonel Reid in March, 1860. The largest, though its skin has, of course, shrunk very considerably since its tan ning, must still measure eight feet from the nose to the tail, and is no less than fifteen inches between the ears. Within the last three years tigers have become so scarce in India as to lead to a confident expectation that in a few years more they will be almost as much things of the past throughout the greater part of India as crocodiles are in the Lower Nile, or buffaloes on the prairies of Illinois. A proof of this is to be found in the fact that tigers' claws (which are much worn by the natives as charms) have risen in value in India to as much as five rupees for a single claw. The mutineers, who were driven into the remotest fastnesses of the jungle, were compelled in self-defence to destroy the tigers, and the amateur exertions of our own officers com pleted the slaughter, till now they are fortunately very rare indeed. Though Saturday was, for the first time this sum mer, rather a warm day, the temperature in the building was never more than moderately warm. Messrs. Negretti and Zambra have fixed their most sensitive thermometers on the floor and in the galleries for the purpose of ascertaining the maxi mum heat in these two places every day, and so far as their experiments have yet gone they show the galleries, owing to the admirable system of venti lation, to be as cool as the basement storey, while the various anemometers in both the nave and the galleries prove that there is always a good current of air in the latter, though scarcely any in the for mer. 'The result is, therefore, that the hot air is taken off as fast as it rises, and the highest reading of the thermometer as yet has rarely been 64 deg. in the nave and 65 deg. in the galleries. A very useful office in the north-east tower of the building has been established for affording to all visitors information on various points connected with the communications of the United Kingdom, whether by road, rail, or sea, including the internal communications of the metropolis itself, transit to foreign countries, &c. A charge of .t . is made for admission, in return for which the vi sitor or has the opportunity of referring to all thec a me ver- tables, maps, directories, railway guides, department ad tisements, A portion of the as a letter joining the Post-office is also set apart means writing room, wh ere stamps and pape r are sold.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN ON The following report of an interview which took place at Washington on the 20th of June, between the President and a delegation from the religious society called the Progressive Friends, on the sub ject of a general emancipation, will be read with interest : The delegation was composed of Thomas Gar- 1 rei , of Delaware; Oliver Johnson, a well-known Abolitionist of New York ; Alice Hambleton, Dinah 1 Tendenhall, William Barnard, and Eliza Agnew, of Pennsylvania ; and was presented to the ' President by Senator Wilmot, accompanied by Rep resentatives Kelly, Davis, and Campbell, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Johnson addressed the Presi dent, and said that they did not come representing any personal or party interest. Their clients were 4,000,000 slaves, who could not speak, but lifted up their chainod hands in agonising supplication for freedom, which prayer it was in the Presi dent's power, in this solemn crisis, to grant. He then read a memorial adopted at a late meeting, calling on the President to issue aproclamation free ing all slaves, and stating that in his speech de livered at Springfield before his election to the . ffice of chief magistrate, the President expressly declared : " A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this Government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. Ido not expect the Union to be dissolved. I do not expect the house to fall , but I expect it will cease to be divided. It will becom, e all one thing or the other." After the memorial had been read, the President said, as he had not been furnished with a copy of the memorial in advance he could not be expected to make any lengthy remarks. He was pleased that the delegation had not come as office-seekers, for they occasioned him much trouble and per plexity. The next most troublesome subject was slavery. He agreed with the memorialists that slavery was wrong, and differed only in respect to the ways aud means of letting rid of it. The extract from his Springfield speech in the memorial he said was incomplete, not inc luding the sentence in which he had indicated his views as to the effect upon slavery itself of resistance to its extension. If a de cree of emancipation would do the work, John Brown would have done it at Harper's Ferry. The Con stitution was binding upon the people of the South, but it could not be enforced at present.. Did they think a decree of general emancipation would be any more effective ? Mr. Johnson said: —" True, Mr. President, the Constitution cannot now be enforced at the South, but you do not for that reason give up the st Tuggle. The memorialists believe that the extinction of slavery would attain your object." The Presie lent said he felt the magni • tude and importance 0.0 the task before hint, and hoped to be rightly dirocted in the embarrassing circumstances surroundin g ; him. He felt deeply his need of Divine ail and guidance, and had some . times thought he might be an instrument in the hands of God in accomplishing a great work, and certainly he was willing to be one. Perhaps God's way of accomplishing the end which the memo , rialists had in view was different from theirs ; at any rate, he should endeavour to do his duty with firm reliance on the Divine arm, and seeking for light from above to do his duty. The delegation then retired. THE NEGROES OF THE UNITED STATES. (From the Money Market Review.) A practical and at the same time humane sug gestion, has been made by Denmark to the Federal Government through its Minister at Washington, and there is a report that it has been favourably received by the latter. The proposal is 1. To employ in the Danish West Indies, and especially in the island of St. Croix, persons of African extraction and negroes found on board vessels captured by cruisers. 2. Denmark invites the United States to enter into a convention, whereby the contemplated emi gration may be placed under the pro tection and guarantee of the two Governments. 3. Free transport is offered to all who will en gage to work on the sugar plantation:3 for three years, at the same rate of compensation as the native population ; after that period they will be entirely free. Recaptured Africans, however, being semi savages, are to undergo apprenticeship. This offer is at once so humane and businesslike that we see no reason why all in this country who wish to benefit the African race, and also to o b tain an increased supply of cotton, should not urge on our Government to make a similar proposal to the United States Government. Such an arrangement: could it be effected, would be attended with vast benefit, not only to the negro and to Vac United States Government, but likewise to our West India Islands and to our cotton interest, for it would afford a certain means of increasing the growth of cotton. It is a very embarrassing question with the Fede ral Government as to what is to be done with the slaves when they obtain possession of them. One idea was to re-ship them to the republic of Liberia, but this would entail on the Federal Government an enormous expense, and when these wretched beings arrived there they would be subjected to the serious hardships of an uncertain existence, whereas, if they were transported under proper regulations, either to the colonies of Denmark or to our own West India Islands, an immediate demand for their labour would exist. We commend this matter to the earnest atten tion of Mr. Bazley and the Manchester interest. There is now coming into view the greatest oppor tunity that has ever presented itself for at onc e obtaining a supply of cotton labour, and emancipat ing the negro under hopeful conditions. Such an op portunity may never occur again. The cry of the West Indies and of several of our colonies has always been—" We could grow as much cotton as Manchester requii es if we had but labour." Here, then, it is not only labour, but skilled labour of the very sort that is required, and it may almost be said to be going a-begging. Let the friend of the African race be up and doing. Let them urge on the British Government to make the same offer as that said to have been made by the Government of Denmark ; let them, too, if necessary, urge the Government of France to do the same. The black cloud which has hung so long over the negro race seems at length to present a silver lining. There would appear to be now at hand the only oppor tunity practical men have as yet seen of putting an end to slavery, for a convention with the Federal Government, such as is proposed, would go far to accomplish this result, since free labour would be made cheaper in the long run than slave labour. We shall hope to see the English press take up this important subject. It will be curious to ob serve what Manchester will do, and what the Cotton Supply Association will do. A convention with the Federal Government would accomplish more good and provide more cotton than can be ob tained by even the most liberal distribution of seeds and cotton gins. It would distance, in its benefi cial effects, all the treaties for the suppression of slavery. Let us lay ourselves open to the attacks of the worm that gnaws ceaselessly—the remorse which arises from " neglected opportunity." N ow ist h e m time or e to cotton benefit b y the procuring negr o ; now is the t ime t° obtain ply of skilled labour. The further the Federal will they become with fugitive forces penetrate southwards, the more en an increasedde:rPai greater will be the embarrassment 0 amid all the for, - ment how to deal with them, s 1 ' i f s' e t s e: c e ua G nm o d v etrhne philanthropic professions of the a l l an innate there is deeply rooted in their very People of the North, They w ill never admit antipathy to " the skin." . eality of social and po the coloured people io eq uality as they can do to tole litical rights ; it is as mach aongss them.

The best an o . this portion of the population—under to remove e regulations effectiv and guarantees, be thoroughlY a esnoellactter of eenobered—from a region where they are hated, where they would be welcomed and most i t t o re o ra n eft a. It will be a strange and a contradictory s us ecta cle if England remains gasping for cotton and fopr c otton labour at the very time when America is irritated to the very marrow of her bones by the pro- B ence of thousands upon thousands of cotton labourers of whom he would gimpy rid herself. + 1 13 the pr °gramme first arranged by the co mmittee d for thei r aerie sof performances, it was settled that Thar saY d last shoulc Ibe appointed as the day upon wh ich there shoul be pl '.eyed a match between London and Paris by means of the i ;elegrt iph, and it was not before Wednesday that theYi were made aware of there being any obstacle s in the voli ° this arrangement. A message was, howeve r, on that dayd x•ece flied. which postponed the match until Saturd ay a , a n tur chentges i wer 0 made to suit this postponement. On S e( i day the re was another disappointment, for it was notifi tto the c ongres a that sufficient notice had not b een given to t he Fre rich authorities to allow of their responding afar°. ti vely t o the requ est, for that to do so wou ld necessitate the giving up of the entire use of one wire fo r the period re t : qi lir ed , and this, it' not properly prepared for, would be a t knded with great Laconvenience.
