A public dinner in celebration of the repeal of the hop duties was held yesterday evening, in the Eng lish refreshment department of the International Exhibition. A. J. B. Beresford Hope, Esq., pre- sided ; and we noticed amongst those present the following noblemen and gentlemen :—Lord Harry Vane, M.P., Viscount Holmesdale, M.P., Viscount Pevensey, M.P., Sir B. Bridges, Bart., M.P., Sir E. Filmer, Bart., M.P., Sir T. Wilson, Bart., Sir J. Kirkland, C. Buxton, Esq., M.P., J. G. Dodson, Esq., M.P., F. Doniton, Esq,, M,P., W . Lee, Esq., M.P., P. W. Martin, Esq., M.P., W. A, Mackinnon, Esq., M.P., F. North, Esq., M.P., J. W. P. Wat lington, Esq., M.P. Ample justice having been done to a most excel. lent dinner by about 140 persons who attended, The CHAIRMAN proposed the usual loyal toasts, which were received with the customary enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN proposed f 0 the Army and Navy," _coupling with th e t oas t th e names of C o l one l Kirk land and L or d H olmesdale Colon e l i D and Lord -12- .n.IRKLAN • HOLMESDALE bri e fl y returned thank The CHAIRMAN n a e nk xt a. proposed, " The Health of Leislaeu re who supported d J. G. Dodson, Esq., M.P., and th e M em b e rs of th e the R epea l o f th e H op Duty." He p o i nt repeal had not made a ut that the supporters of this no defence, d oe in r a etvhance of their own. In the hop duty was an i.,rl!)nci child entered into the soul the hop-growing of every man, woman counties. There was the imperious will of the Government no argument, but how it could. Those in favour tho get money repeal tra versed the country and worked hard, but the whole matter was in a nut-shell ; fiv e minutes explained the whole case, half of five minutes showed What was wanted. He took cred it, but not all cr edit for th e C n tral Associt: I ion. The Sussex Association Was first it; the field ; but this association had the merit of d raw _ ing into the CentralAsscciation those who would not join the Sussex Association. But they were not here to-night to make comparisons, but to shake hands, and congratulate themselves on the victory that they had achieved. He then bore testimony to the determined manner in which the members of the association, putting aside all political con siderations, had supported the repeal of these duties. He trusted that notwithstanding the successes of the hop-growers, they would be cautious, and it was then quite on the cards that this might become a hop-exporting country. He concluded by pointing out the eminent services which Mr. Kintrea had rendered the association, and by associating with the toast the name of Mr. Dodson. Mr. DODSON responded, tendering his thanks to those members of Parliament who had supported him in securing a repeal of the hop duties. He . . .

Mr. Valiance moved that the report should be printed, and that an early day should be named to discuss it, as be said that the London ; Chatham', and Dover Railway Com pany could not proceed with their bridge until the corporation had detided upon the character of bridge they intended to erect, as it was agreed by all the engineers that it was most essential that the piers of the two bridges should be exactly parallel with each other. proved a simultaneous success at Islington. Now that Dukes contribute their hounds—unmatched in scent, stanchness, end fleetness—and Marchio nesses act as umpires upon the merits of pet pup 1, pies, it is not the canine fancy, but a throng of carriage company, that is visiting our new and presently-to-be-beautiful Ag,rieuliural Han, to court the acquaintance of novel varieties or. rare individual specimens of the hunting, guarding, fighting, toying, faithful, indispensable dog. A brief analysis of the show has already informed our readers of the extraordinary interest attaching to a Menagerie such as was never before put in cages or held in chains and collars. But we - again com mend this treat of the North of England Society, lest any one should inadvertently lose .the opportu nity, te-;lay and tomorrow, of inspecting an un precedented collection of dogs of sport, of glorying over the pride of a bloodhound -and . the strength of an Alpine mastiff; of admiring the savagery of a lip or the grace of a paw, and for the first:lime be holding the beauty, grotesqueness, .or mischiei , ous littleness a many a companion and playmate of man hitherto new to the English public. The CHAIRMAN briefly responded, and subse quently the healths of Lord Harry Vane, Thomas Neve, Esq., C. Sclater Booth, E‘q , M.P., T. L. Punnett, Esq., and the Parliamentery agents were proposed and warmly received. Mr. DE JERSEY thought the court should not be bound by the decision of the committee as to the five plans they hod accepted, but that they should have an opportunity of looking at the whole of the plans that lied been sent in, and he should certainly reserve to himself the right of proposing the adop tion of any plan that had not been accepted by the Committee, if he considered it to be more eligible than any of those accompanying the report. (Hear, hear.) After a short discussion it was proposed and car ried that the five accepted plans should be placed in the court for the members to examine, and that the rejected plans should be placed in different committee rooms where they would he vc access to them, and have an opportunity of considering them also. In quite a different direction—namely, at Farn ingham--epoint of great interest to-day will be the public working of steam plough.F. Seven or eight sets of machinery started yesterday ; but, though many persons took tickets by the morning special trans from Victoria and Battersea stations, some difficulty was experienced at the end of the railway ride in visiting the different fielde, Mr. Aveling kindly conveying parties to the more distant scenes of operation by means of his road locomotive_ These interesting and important trials demand a few words on another occasion.

Notwithstanding the attractions--and they were numerous and powerful enough—in other quarters, the rose show secured more than ordinary patronage. It was announced to open at 1 o'clock, and so much anxiety existed to see it before the place became crowded, that the great glass house and the tents were crammed at 10 minutes past one, and before half-past it became a matter of the greatest difficulty to get near the roses; from that time till evening the visitors continued to arrive with great rapidity, and the scene became one of the gayest and the most lively character. The sun shone out brilliantly upon the delightful, though provokingly neat Horticultural Gardens, and on the brilliant and fashionable company, who having squeezed through the rose show, not unwillingly betook themselves to the gardens to feast upon their beauties, to enjoy the delightful weather (the oppol tunities for doing which have of late been in deed•few), and to listen to the excellent music per formed by the band of the Royal Artillery. As to the show itself, it is impossible for an exhibition of any kind of roses to be disagreeable ; but when, on the occasion, we have displayed about 700 trusses of the choicest roses, and about 70 trusses of entirely new varieties of this flower, in addition to a large number . of rose trees in full bloom in pots, and all tastefully arranged, the scene presented becomes exceedingly interesting, and can only be fully appreciated by those who have wit nessed it and enjoyed the fragrant odours which are wafted from the blossoms through the tent, and even into the surrounding atmosphere beyond them. It is unnecessary for us to add that the show was a great success, though it will doubtless be far surpassed by the mixed show of Wednesday next, and it is equally unnecessary to particularise the exhibits of any individual, for the prize list to be found below may be safely looked to as the in dex to the merit of each exhibitlr, -- e.: , , , Wartg of the judges having given universal satisfaction.

THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR, the chairman of the Markets Improvement Committee, brought up a report which recommended that the corporation should sign a deed authorising the sale of certain land, a portion of the surplus at the eastern approach to the pro posed new meat and poultry market in Smithfield, to the Metropolitan Railway Company for the sum of 170,000, the amount to be paid by debentures of the company, to bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent., and to be repayable in five years, or in cash. Mr. Taylor, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was not customary to bring up a report upon such a subject, but the committee felt that the sub ject was of PO much importance that they thought it better to do so, and he expressed his opinion that the course suggested by the committee would be found advantageous to both parties. (Hear, hear.) Deputy FARRER wished to know at whose option the £70,000 were to be paid in cash or debentures ? (Hear.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said at the option of the com pany. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) If the com pany, after the act was passed authorising the pro ceeding, were in a position to pay the amount in cash, which he was afraid, however, they would not be, the corporation would, of course, only be too happy to receive it. (Hear, hear.) Deputy FARRER said he should be glad to be in formed whether the corporation would retain any claim upon the land until it was paid for ? (Hear.) Mr. TAYLOR said they would not. The only security would be the debentures. Mr. C. YOUNG observed that the railway c)m pany would have their land, and the corporation would have pieces of paper in exchange. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Mr. ROWE said that the corporation had already incurred very heavy liability with reference to this railway, and he really thought the court ought to know its exact position in the matter. He sug gested, therefore, that the report should be printed and taken into consideration on a future day. Mr. LAWLEY hoped there would be no further delay. The railway company had hitherto acted in the most honourable manner as regarded the cor poration, and he did not see why they should nut continue to place confidence in them. Mr. TAYLOR, in his reply, reminded the court that he had originally opposed the proposition that the corporation should connect itself with this rail way, but the majority were of a different opinion, and as the corporation was now committed to the scheme, their only course was to endeavour to make it successful. (Hear.) He was free to confess that he looked upon the prospects of the railway with a much more favourable eye than he did formerly, and he believed that what was now proposed was a most beneficial arrangement, and that in the result the corporation would have a noble approach to the new market, without at al.l trenching upon their own funds. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then put and agreed to THE LATE EARL CANNING. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, " That by the lamented decease of the Right Hon. the Earl Can ning, the late Governor-General of India, this court is prevented from carrying into effect its unanimous resolution of presenting the freedom of this City to that distinguished nobleman ; and therefore avails itself of the earliest opportunity of recording its deep sense of the loss which the country has sus tained by the premature death of that able states man, whose wise administration of the government of India at a period of great peril, and subsequent measures of just and enlightened policy, concen trated the affections and advanced the general in terests and prosperity of all classes of the popula tion of that vast and important possession of the British crown." Mr. ROWE had also given notice of the following motion :—" That a bust of the late Right Hon. the Earl Canning be executed at an expense not ex ceeding 200 guineas, and placed within the Guild hall." Alderman SALOMONS, in proposing the motion, said it WAS one that required no preface from him, as it spoke for itself. (Hear.) The country had sustained a severe loss by the premature death of this 'lamented nobleman, and this court was pre vented from carrying out its intention of presenting to him the freedom of the city upon that platform, and of enrolling his name among those eminent men upon whom in former times the same honour had been conferred. (Hear, hear.) All that re mained for them to do was to express the regret that was felt by all at this untimely event, and he should propose that the resolution which he was sure would be agreed to unanimously should be copied and transmitted to Lady Clanricarde, the surviving sis ter of the kceased noble lord, who was in constant attendance upon him during his last illness. He was aware that his friend Mr. Rowe had a motion upon the subject, but it appeared to him that this motion might be very well added to his own, and that the two might be carried together. (Hear.) Mr. ROWE said be had no objection to the course that was suggested by Mr. Alderman Solomons,and he seconded the motion, and he at the same time observed that he felt assured the corporation of the City of London would readily consent to hand down to posterity a lasting testimony of its appreciation . of the able manner is which Earl Canning had ad ministered the affairs of our Indian empire. (Cheers.) The motion was then put and agreed to. Mr. EDMONDS thought the sum of 200 guineas was a paltry sum to be applied to such a purpose. He considered £l,OOO at least ought to be expended. (Oh oh, and laughter.) Mr, ANDERTON said he really believed that some of the members of that court'were mad. (Laughter.) All that was required was that the corporation ot London should erect a testimonial expressive of their appreciation of the worth of the noble earl, and 200 guineas was quite sufficient to expend for that purpose. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said there could not be two opinions as to the eminent abilities of the deceased statesman, but the question to be considered was the best mode for the corporation to express its opinion upon the subject. It had been agreed that this should be done by the placing a bust of the de ceased in the Guildhall, and 200 guineas, or even less, was quite a sufficient sum to obtain such a bust, and £l,OOO or any such sum was not at all required. The matter was then referred to the General Purposes Committee to be put in execution. Alderman SALOMONS next moved that a copy of to eresoluti on of the court should be transcribed and s i gned by the Town Clerk, and transmitted Lady Clanricarde, the surviving sister of the de ceased, cud newspapers! hat it should be advertised in th e usual BLACRFRIARS BRIDGE, Mr. H. W. V.&LLANCE, the chairman of th: , Bridge House Est ates Committee, brought ' - u p a re port from that committee in rekrence to the pro d n ew bridge. The rer,6rt was not read, but A itrecommended the eree,ci rche s and was accor- on of a bridg e o f fi ve vanied by fi ve p l ans f or a bridge , of that derAr 4.- iption. I t appeared that 13 engineers si}funitted pl ans, but only five were a COAL, CORN, AND FINANCE COMMITTEE. Mr. JOHN YOUNG, jun., the chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, brought up a report recommending that a sum of £2OO should be expended in laying out the land in front of the London Almshouses, Brixton, as a garden, also that one hundred guineas should be granted towards the erection of the new ragged school in Buck's-row, Whitechapel, and fifty guineas to the Islington Dispensary. This report led to some discussion, Mr. Tegg, Dr. Abraham, Mr. De Jersey, ;Ir. Lowman Taylor, and several other members of the court expressing their opinion with regard to tile first portion of it, that it would be much better to employ the money in a practical manner upon the land by enabling it to grow potatoes or other vegetables for the use of the inmates, than to expend it in making a garden ; and eventually this portiol of the report was re ferred back for further consideration. The propo sition of granting a hundred guineas to the Ragged School was negatived, and the sum reduced to 50 guineas. With regard , to the last proposition, to grant 50 guineas to the Islington Dispensary, the court appeared to be almostunanimously of opinion that no case had been made out for such a grant, and Deputy Low observed that it was almost a disgrace to the wealthy perish of Islington to come to that court and ask for a grant for an insti tution with which the Corporation were in no way connected, and which they were quite able to support from their own locality if proper mea sures were resorted to. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR eventually moved an amend ment that this portion of the report do lie upon the table, which was agreed to, and the court shortly afterwards adjourned. BATTERSEA-PARK SHOW OF THE _ROYAL A9RIOULT URAL SOCIE2Y, 4.c, A beaming sun, once more returned to give the strawberries a flavour and invite the corn into flower, smiled propitiously upon the Society's ss. day. More than 10,000 visitors paid the entrance fee, and several thousand members added to the handsome company, who did their best to accom plish some portion of the eight miles of walking which are required in order simply to pass by every stand of implements, and every stall and box and pen of live stock. The cattle classes were reviewed yesterday, but much remains to be noticed. We do not profess to have inspected and carefully handled every one of the 73 Leicester sheep, the 90 Cotswolds, or the 96 Southdowns ; but the impression conveyed by the sheve is tha:a while our.old friends, Mr. Sanday and Mr. Pawlett, are great prize-takers as usual, the Leicesters have not progressed, and, though nu merous, display only their average excellence. This is the first occasion on which the large Lincoln long wools have been honoured by separate classes (ex cepting when the meeting was held in their own locality); and, from some unexplained cause, many of the first-class breeders have refrained from ex hibiting. This is a pity, as no breed of sheep pos. sesses greater value, when the production of an abundance both of wool and mutton is taken into consideration. Mr. Thomas B. Marshall, of Bran ston, certainly shows some very good specimens ; and Mr. Jobn Clarke, ofLong Sutton, illustrates the fleece-bearing property of the breed by exhibiting sheep still in their heavy lustrous wool, and also a staple of this valuable:textile metetial no less than 40 inches in length. The ancient breed of Cots wolds, which furnished wool for exportation five centuries ago, and of which individual specimens have been known to attain the weight of 3361 b. the carcass, form a most magnificent show, with their immense proportions, snow-white curly fleeces, and noble heads with the characteristic forelock. And, undoubtedly, we owe this great spectacle to the slight which the Cotswold breeders supposed the Society had put upon them and their favourites in an unequally divided prize-sheet. • Mr. William Garne, Mr. Willis L me, and Mr. Edward Handy are well supported by a host of skilful sheep masters, thoroughly asserting and maintaining the fame of this breed. The Kentish or Romney Marsh sheep are still susceptible of great improve ment in form and quality. The Southdowns, of course, are a splendid show, Mr. Rigden and Lord Walsingham sweeping off honours wholesale. And perfection of form and minute adherence to every characteristic of the tine type is seen throughout the various pens, with only here and there an ordi nary or even second-rate sheep. No breed has grown more in public estimation than the Shrop shire Down, of which there are here 95 pens ; Mr. Horton, Mr. Horley, and Mr. Crane winning in classes well sprinkled with just " commendations." There is a very grand show of Hampshire and West Country Downs, and the Oxfordshire Downs, 62 in number, show themselves to be a most valuable breed, combining the best points of two of our best breeds of sheer. Among the mountain sheep is most :noticeable a magnificent Lenk ram, much like a blackface, but larger, and carrying a heavy valuable fleece, well adapted as a substitute for the blackfaces on the Scotch highlands. The fine show of the handsome horned blackfaces, and red.woolled, white-faced Cheviots, furnished by North Britain, is a source of very great interest. But the great curiosities in this department are the foreign breeds. Visitors seem astonished at the fine show of French merinos, with their immense curling horns, Roman noses, wearing shaggy mats of wool on their heads, and completely gloved in wool down to their very hoofs, while some are extravagant for loose folds and frills of skin, unsightly enough in the eyes of English graziers, but tolerated for the sake of the superlatively fine wool that only a merino can give. The Spanish merinos from Hanover, and the Saxony merinos, are not equal to those improved by the French breeder. Everybody is amused with the strange, long-necked, crop-oared Chinese eheep, exhibited by the Acclimatisation Society. It is a curious fact that the Ist, 2d, and 3d prizes in classes 1,2, and 3, for " Cheviot sheep," have all been awarded to gentlemen reeidiet; at the same hotel, viz., the Spread Eeglo, Gr'eeechurch-.street. As for the collection "e r i swine, the Society never before could bee e t ouch a grand show. No matter which of 1 91 pens i s inspected, great merit is SP' . " .e to appear; and it is a source of wonderfully varied interest to compare the virtues of old dowa ger sows, huge baconian boars, small delicate porkers, all flesh and fat, with the slenderest neces sary bone ; or sleek, rich little gruntere, marvel lously precocious in their alimentive faculty. A word may be added here on another exhibition —of animals not made to be eaten—which has SHIPS' RUDDERS. An interesting trial took place at Portsmouth o a plan, patented by Captain Warren, R.N., for steering ships under steam by a rudder placed in the vessel's bow. The chief merit claimed by Captain Warren for his patented rudder are that it is an auxiliary steering power to the ordinary rud der, assisting the ship to turn quicker when neces sary, as might be the case under the fire of an enemy's battery, and also that it should replace the ordinary rudder in the event of any accident hap pening to the latter either from the weather or the shot of the enemy. The vessel with which the principle was tested yesterday was the Princess Royal, a small paddle steamer belonging to the Portsmouth and Isle of Wight Steam Packet Com pany, and to the bows of which a rudder had been temporarily fitted. The rudder had, however, an area of only nine feet, or one-third that of the ves sel's ordinary rudder aft, It was evidently placed also too far forward, and was not sufficiently im mersed, the upper part of the rudder being some nine inches above th e water line. In fitting a bow rudder to a man of war Captain Warren proposes to have the upper part of the rudder 15 feet below the water line in a vessel drawing, like her Ma j,,sty)s ship D e f enc e, 26 feet of water, and other shins in proportion. It is evident, therefore, that the principle yesterday, although certain favour- Ole results were obtained, could not. be fairly tested ; that is—that with an increased art.a and submersion of the rudder, and an alteration of posi tion, its power would have been mere fully deve loped. Captain Broadhead, R.N., conductel the trials. Among the gentlemen on board to witness the trial were—Admiral Sir 11. D. Chads, Captain Fullerton, R.N., Mr. A. Heather, manager of the United Steampacket Company; Mr. Reed, manager of Messrs. White's shipbuilding-yard and slipway, &e. The first trial was made by placing the after or ordinary rudder of the ship hard over, when the ship made a complete circle in 3m. 225., the engines making 27 revolutions. In the second trial the for ward rudder was put hard over,but the vessel was so THE CAPE MAIL. Y'ftlCE..... 4 d., STAMPED ....sd. long in making the half circle that this tria.! WaS abandoned. In the third the forward rudder was put hard over, and the after rudder fixed amidships with chocks, when a circle was completed to -port in 6 min. 19 - sec.; f.e engines making 26i revolutions. In the fourth, the forward rudder was again put hard ever, but this time . 4 it h the after rudder loose, when the time occupied in completing the circle, the steamer coming round in -this instance also to port, was 8 min. 24 sec.; the revolutions of the engines being 26k. In the next trial the after rudder was put hard over, with the forward rudder loose, and the ship made the: circle to port in 3 :ninutes, the revolutions of the engines bring 26. Both rudders were next put bard over together, when a circle was completed to port in 2 min. and 47 sec., a gain of 13 sec. on the preceding trial, the engines making 24 revolutions. - When the ship stopped dead, the after rudder was put hard over and forward rudder fixed, when the engines were turned ahead, the time being taken from their moving fuirly.alead. - Circle completed in 3 min. 37 sec. The same experiment was next carried out with the forward rudder, when the circle to port was completed in 6 min. 40 sec., the revolutions of the engines being 251. Forward rudders, like screws, require lengthened •arid' expensive experi ments to develope their powers and are almost beyond the means of private individuals.. There is, however, no doubt cm:wider:able merit attbelle,444 . the plan proposed by Captain Warren, but the ex periments require to be carried out on a larger and more perfect scale than those of Yesterday. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY. The Union Company's Cape mail steamer Athens, Capt. H. R. Clark, arrived in Plymouth Sound this afternoon, from the Cape, May, 22; St. Helena, 31 ; and Ascension, June 4. She brings 49 pas sengers, among whom are the Lord Bishop of Cape Town and Mrs. Gray, Baron and Baroness de Lo rentz, Lieut.-Colonel Rivers, Cnevalier and Mrs. Duprat, Dr. Norris, Rev. Mr. Hawkins (Zambesi expedition), Rev. Mr. Guldeafenny, Mr. W. H. Gedye, R.N., and Mr. W. W. Ball (Lieut. C. R. R.) Her cargo consists of 50 casks wine, 155 bales woo], 1,250 bags rice, 160 bales goatskins, 452 bundles hides, 296 bags copper ore, 25 bags argol, 10 cases ostrich feathers, 16 packages ivory, 42 packages old metal, 60 bags coffee, 4 boxes specie, and 35 pkgs. sundries. The annual session of the Cape Parliament was opened by his excellency the governor on the 24th April. Mr. Wodehouse stated that our relations with the native tribes were satisfactory, but he was of opinion that a British officer should he appointed to reside with the Basuto chief Moshesh, in conse quence, principally, of ill feeling between the Basutes and the people of the Free-State. He was anxious to develop it G. Grey's policy in frontier matters in its integrity, provided means were placed at his disposal for that purpose, either by the Imperil 1 Government or colonial legislature. He was in favour of aiding the volunteers, of the promotion of railway enterprise, of irrigation and immigration. He proposed a radical change in the system of finance. He was entirely opposed to separation. The grievances of the eastern province, he thought, could be "remedied without either sepa ration, federation, or the removal of the seat of Go vernment. He recommended that the sittings of Parliament should in future be held alternately in the eastern and western districts of the colony; that a branch of the Supreme Court, consisting of two puisne judges, be established in the eastern province, and that a Solicitor-General be appointed to conduct public prosecutions on circuit. His ex cellency also advises that British Kaffraria be annexed to the colony; that that territory shall be allowed a fair share of representation in Parlia n).4,and the colonial an tpireeit overlie whole region from Britieh Kalfraria to Natal. Four days . after the opening of Parliament his excellency proceeded in her Msjesty's ship Cossack to the frontier, and after an extensive jour ney of almost unprecedented rapidity, he re turned to Cape Town the day before the Athens leff. During his absence of three weeks, he landed at East London and proceeded to King William's Town, where he sounded the inhabitants of Kaff raria as to their views of annexation, and found them almost unanimously opposed to surrendering the privileges they now enjoy as an independent colony. From King William's Town he proceeded still further up the country through Kaffirland, across the Kei, examining the vacant country, to the Banshee, now held in military tenure by the colonial police, and returning by the borders of Queen's Town to Graham's Town. There he found the inhabitants strongly in favour both of railways and annexation, and prepared and pledged to support his Excellency's policy to the utmost. He also visited Port Elizabeth, where he found the people divided about separation, but unanimous in a de sire for railway communication between their port and Graham's Town. How far his Excellency's observations in his tour might tend to influence his previously-declared policy was not known when the Athens left. The budget speech was delivered by the Colonial Secretary on the 15th of May. The Government proposed to impose some new taxes and to fund the proceeds of the sale of Crown lands. An attempt had been made to introduce a Usury Bill, flying the legal rate of.interest at 6 per cent., into a Legisla tive Council; but in the House of Assembly a reso lution had been agreed to affirming that it was not expedient to pass a Usury Bill, an it was believed to be clear that free trade in money was an estab lished principle at the Cape. News had been received from the Zatiibesi miss sion. Bishop Mackenzie and the Rev. Mr. Burrup had died of fever while prdceeding down the Shire, intending to reach the Zambesi mouth, expecting the arrival of the bishop's sister and Mrs. Burrup. These ladies arrived safely in company with Capt. Wilson, commander of the Gorgon, shortly after the decease of their relatives. The missionary party as a body had been eminently successful. The intelligence from Dr. Livingstone was grafi , fying in the extreme; he was going to navigate the Nyassi Lake in the new steamer Nyassi, Mrs. Livingstone bad joined him a month or two before. TUE IRON-TRADE, STOURBRIDGE, June 26.—The preliminary meeting of the ironmasters of South Stafford. shire and East Worcestershire, was held at the Stewponey, this , afternoon, Mr. Philip William, the Chairman of the Association, presided. There was a general concurrency of opinion that the trade is in a much better state than it was three months ago, and a resolution was unanimously passed to adhere to the old scale of prices for all descriptions of finished iron, the make of this district. FRIGHTFUL DEATH BY MACHINERY AT MILL- WALL.—Late on Wednesday evening Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy-coroner for Middlesex, held an in quest at the London Hospital, touch' pg the death of John Stevens, aged 68 years, a mechanic in the service of Messrs. Dudgeon and Co., the proprietors of the Millwall• Iron Works, Poplar, who lost his life under very frightful cir cumstances. It appeared from the evidence that the de ceased was employed in the manufactory on Wednesday afternoon last, and while assisting another man in placing a bar of iron on the forgo fire, he stumbled over a piece of waste metal and fellbackwards against the swivel of a large ' grindstone which was travelling rapidly by.steam power, and before assistance could be rendered ho was drawn round the moving iron-work into an indescribable co tion. One of the workmen ran and stopped the engine, while another rushed forward and obtained a knife, when the deceased's clothes had to be cut to pieces b e fore ho could be disentangled fr om the ironwork. He 'MIS found to he terribly injured , an d when removed to the hosp house e xpired shortly after his admission. Mr. Guy, the surgeo n, said deceased died from dislocation of the spine and severe external injuries. The whole cf purely ve nture. The deputy-coroner said that it was to be regret ted that scrap iron should be allowed to co . llect OR the ground to the danger of the workmen, and the jury concur ring, a verdict of accidental death was returned, The do , . ceased has left a wife and family.
