If Sir JOHN COLERIDGE should reply that his speech was not prompted by any remembrance of Mr. FAWCETT'S temporary revolt, but solely by the matter to which it expressly referred, then we say that there was even less excuse for an attack so ungentlemanly and so savage as that which he made on Monday night. There is no doubt at all that the conduct which Ministers have taken with regard to the OVEREND and GURNEY trial has given great and widespread dissatisfaction. If they had con descended to listen to what was said on the subject out of doors they would have heard comments by no means complimentary. They would have heard it asked what has become of the Home Office that it is postponing important matters generally until some future day, and will have nothing to do with this special matter. They would have heard the ques tions put by Mr. FAWCETT asked much more emphatically by men outside the House of Commons. They would have heard it said that it is a most unseemly thing that while the ablest of the Government law officers of the Crown is retained for the defence of the OVEREND and GURNEY directors, the Government should resolutely refuse to offer any assistance in a prosecution which is of national importance. It is true that Sir JOHN COLERIDGE gave a satisfactory explanation of his con nection with his clients in the first place. But we venture to say, despite so high an authority as the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, that if no rule exists whereby a counsel on becoming a law officer of the Crown is required to withdraw from the defence of clients prosecuted in a criminal court, should the Crown think fit to make the requisition, there ought to be such a rule. We do not altogether share the popular indignation which has been so widely felt against the Government for their original decision in this matter. It seems to us that a good deal of it was got up in order to cover the indolence and the parsimony of wealthy men who could very well afford to help Dr. THOM instead upon the Government to do so. Still theof a indignation cliing did exist, and Mr. FAWCETT was but the mouthpiece of it when he called attention to the fact that, on the one hand, the Crown refused to prosecute, and that, on the other hand, one of its chief advisers had undertaken the defence in this unhappy case. In fact, Government have at length, and tardily, yielded to the pressure brought upon them, and con sented that the ATTORNEY-GENERAL shall under take the prosecution next December. In that case we shall, unless Sir JoHN COLERIDGE withdraws from the case, witness the unseemly spectacle of the first law officer of the Crown opposed by the second. This spectacle has indeed just been actually pre sented. In any case, Mr. FAWCETT'S speech was not one to call for such vehement and overbearing rebuke as it elicited. It is to be hoped that these storms will clear the parliamentary atmos phere. Two of them are quite enough in two days. Meanwhile we cannot be too thankful that, in spite of the weather,Mr. HORS3IAN has not caused the voice of his thunder to be heard once throughout the session. EMIGRATION. Slut LATEST INTELLIGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. NEW YORK, July 6. The anniversary of the Declaration of Independ ence was celebrated enthusiastically throughout the North, but much apathy is reported to have been manifested in the South. The Hamburg and American steamship Silesia, and the Cunard Royal Mail steamer Java, arrived out to-day ; the former at 4 a.m. and the latter at 6 a.m. The Guion steamship Nebraska, the Allan (Glas gow) steamer St. Patrick, and the National steam ship England also arrived here to-day.

The report of the Emigration Commissioners for 1868 states that, while the average emigration during the fifty-four years from 1815 to 1868 inclusive has been 120,345 a year, and during the 10 years ending with 1868, 170,150 a year, the emigration in 1868 was 196,325. The emigration in 1867 having been 195,953, the increase during the year was only 372. Another striking feature in the emigration is the largo decrease, both absolutely and relatively, in the number of Irish emigrants. Excluding foreign emigrants and those whose origin is not stated, the result during the last six years is as follows :—Percentage of Irish : 1863, 60.34 ; 1864, 61.69 ; 1865, 57.56 ; 1866, 58-15; 1867, 56.45; and 1868, 47-02. _~_ S ~,`\.. ` LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1869. Transformed though the Irish Church Bill has been in its passage through the Lords' Committee, we still recognize even in the contradictory and sweeping character of the various amendments which have been .ntroduced, the dawning of the reasonable prospect of a satisfactory co►upromise being eventually arrived at between the Peers and the Commons, between the Opposition and the Government. There seems no cause, now, that the rival Houses should come to loggerheads. A collision is no longer, what, until very recently, it was deemed to be, inevitable. That is—if only the powerful Ministry at the head of the great dominant party in the House of Commons and throughout the country, will show a readiness to con cede—somewhat. Supposing Ministers are still reso lute in their fixed determination to yield upon no single point whatever, of course there is no alterna- tive. In that case the Lords' Amendments must be regarded and treated by them as having affected a fatal transformation. In which contingency the course pursued must be the arro gant and autocratic course some two or three weeks ago distinctly enough foreshadowed—meaning the hurried close of the session, the temporary proroga tion of Parliament, the calling of the Houses together again very shortly afterwards, the introduction in the autumn of 1869 of the Irish Church Bill in its original form in the House of Commons, its silent and rapid passage through its various stages towards its development by that House into an enactment, and its ominous reintroduction into the House of Lords simultaneously with (in a double sense) a very libe ral addition to the aggregate number of our heredi tary legislators. Nothing of this kind, however, do we now in any way seriously anticipate. The Bill has been passed through the Lords' Committee. It has been transformed by the adoption of many of the most important amendments proposed by one or another of the now Liberal, now Conservative, op ponents of the scheme as it was originally planned by the Government. It will be duly reported on Friday evening. Something of the force of those amendments may then be modified or mitigated. But to all in tents and purposes the amended Bill, when it has been read a third time in the House of Lords and passed, will be pretty much what it has been rendered at this moment by its manipulation during its recent passage through Committee. And yet—for all that—we believe in the possibility, nay, more than that, we believe in the probability of a compro mise—and of a compromise, too, of a satisfactory character. That some compromise was practically brought within reach of the Legislature, became ob vious, indeed, so soon as the Lords had determined, by their memorable division upon the Second Read ing, that the Bill should be allowed to go into Com mittee. It, then, only remained to be seen how far the Bill itself would be changed or distorted in Com- , mittee by the amendments, and consequent upon the rejection or acceptance of those amendments, how far the dominant party would be reconciled to or alienated from the notion of anything at all like concession. Concession upon one point, Ministers have from first to last set their faces against re solutely—that is, against what is called, as the Marquis of SALISBURY thinks ungrammatically, concurrent endowment. Evading that rock ahead, postponing that difficulty, Lord CAIRNS' amendment of last evening—an amendment carried by 160 as opposed to 90, or, in other words, by a clear majo rity of 70 in a House of 250—sets aside for the time being the appropriating of the funds of the Estab lishment, leaving the solution of the problem as to its ultimate destination for the future, the calmer, the more deliberate consideration of the Imperial Par liament. The argument against the appropriation clause of the Bill, as it originally stood, as it was introduced by the Government, and as it was accepted by the House of Commons, has been all along very for midably this—that, by reason of that particular clause simply reducing the county cess, the main advantage of the projected appropriation would appertain even tually to the Irish landlords—the landlords, by means of the reversionary donation of the tithe rent charge, having otherwise been largely benefited by the work ing out of the Government scheme of disendowment. Lord TAUNTON—the Right Hon. HENRY LAB 0U- C HERE of ten years ago —very forcibly argued on the other band, however, that the notion was seriously to be deprecated, of throwing loose upon the country this great and vitally important question as to the proper distribution of the surplus obtained through the realisation of the Irish Church property by means of the projected plan of disendowment. 'Thrown loose, however, it will not be, according to our conviction. It is precisely upon that point, as we con ceive, that will arise the possibility and the practica bility of au honourable and satisfactory compromise on the part of Her MAJESTY'S Government, and on the part of Her MAJESTY'S Opposition—the Op position all powerful in the Lords, the Govern ment all powerful in the Commons. Rather than indefinitely delay the appropriation of the sur plus—it must sooner or laer, we believe, become ap parent that mutual concessions will be in every way desirable. How these concessions may be best arrived at, we conceive to be very clearly indicated through the wise and conciliatory remarks addressed last even ing to the House of Peers by Lord TAUNTON. so lll ur l:S t t e be tempers s thunder i n are. The th s e u a v air. e M l r f . THERE Tisna m i nis F.Lis not ' turning wigging of Mr. LOWE on Saturday was sharp enough; but the mellifluous Sir JOHN COLERIDGE'S snubbing of Mr. FAWCETT on Monday was absolutely fierce. Now, neither the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER nor the member for Brighton is a fool or a bore. The most angelic-tempered men—and Mr. DISRAELI, as we all know, is akin to the angels—may be pardoned if occasionally they " sit upon" a CHARLEY or a JENKINSON, a GRIFFITHS or a KNox. But when men of the calibre of the two who have just been subjected to that process are concerned, it is scarcely seemly for states men, however exalted, however angelic, to indulge inlanguage such as that with which the silver-tongued SOLICITOR-GENERAL astonished the House of Com mons. It is quite true that Mr. FAWCETT has been rather troublesome this session. It is quite true that he has not yet forgiven Ministers for their not very creditable desertion of him, when his bill for throwing the expenses of elections on the rates came on for a second reading. It is quite true that he made some remarks, more frank than discreet, about the bribe which he said they were offering the Irish landlords to pass the Irish Church Bill. It is quite true that he, and he alone, of all the Liberal party this session has ventured to raise the standard of revolt, and to divide the House against the Govern ment. But surely his rebellion is not without extenuation. If anything could provoke a saint it would have been the shabby manner in which Ministers, -without a word of warning, threw him overboard at the very moment when he thought himself secure of victory, and about to open the gates of Parliament to his own peculiar constituents, the working men. Moreover, are Ministers resolved that not a word shall be said against any of their proceedings by any of their usual supporters ? Are they so little satisfied with their overwhelming majorities that they must have absolute unanimity ? Do the riches and honours and power of HAMAN THE BERMUDA DOCK.

The vine disease has appeared in score parts o Portugal, but with diminished virulence to a small extent. The passengers by the Brazil packet Oneida, from Rio de Janeiro, have been placed in quaran tine on the plea of yellow fever existing in the Bra zilian ports, but they have made a strong protest to the Board of Health. Some serious disturbances have taken place in the Azores in consequence of the augmentation of taxes. In several districts the papers have been burnt, and vivas given in favour of the son of Don Miguel. The Deputies have voted an increase in the per sonal tax, and an increase of 50 per cent. in the in dustrial tax, a measure which is considered excessive, and much discontent exists. The Count of Lavradio, formerly Minister in London, is suffering from severe illness. ITALY. BRINDISI, July 7.

The following are the resolutions reported to the House on this subject:— " 1. That it is expedient to provide for the purchase by the Postmaster-General of the undertakings of telegraph companies in the United Kingdom. " 2. That the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury be authorised to raise such moneys as shall be required for such purchase by the creation of securities chargeable on the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom. " 3. That the said Commissioners may raise such moneys by Terminable Annuities or Exchequer Bills or Exchequer Bonds or Three per Cent. Capital Stocks of Annuities, or by either or by all of such modes, provided that the total amount shall not exceed in the whole the sum of £7,000.000 sterling. "4. That it is expedient to authorise the payment, out of moneys to be provided by Parliament for the purpose, of all expenses which may be incurred in working, main taining, and extending the telegraphs so purchased, and for the issue of any surplus of receipts over payments arising therefrom to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt to be applied to the redemption of National Debt. - _ _ " 5. That it is expedient to amend ' the Telegraph Act 1868: " SAFETY IN RAILWAY TRAVELLING. Mr. Brady, one of the South-Eastern Railway Company's engineers, has recently introduced an improved switch and signal apparatus. It has been for some time in operation on the North-Eastern Railway, the Metropolitan District Railway, at the Waterloo Junction, at Redhill, and on many important railways and at some of the chief railway stations. For some time it has been in use at the Reading station of the South- Eastern line. The apparatus has been found to work exceedingly well, and is simple and ingenious. As we all know, the most fruitful cause of railway accidents is the disagreement, so to speak, which there is between the signal and the points. By the use of Mr. Brady's appa ratus it would seem a moral, or rather a mechanical impossi bility that the signal and the points should be otherwise than in harmony. The following is a technical description of this very ingenious invention :—" It is simple in its parts, which are so proportioned as to be calculated to out last the lever handles to which they are attached. The locks are all alike, and consist of a combination of links and cams acting and reacting upon each other. The cams are threaded on two-inch horizontal rods, placed parallel to the row of lever handles in the switchman's box, and underneath the floor on which he stands ; they are con nected with the point levers by means of short cranks and connecting rods, each point lever having two cranks attached to it, giving contrary motions to the attached rods and cams, the two-inch rods being cut through oppo site each point lever for the purpose. The links are attached to the signal levers by means of horizontal rods at right angles to the rows of cams, and turn, with the motion of the signal levers, in shoes secured in rows upon a cast iron plate placed about a foot below the floor of the switch man's box, in a position to be seen and got at with ease. As the link when it moves must turn upon the point of the cam with which it is in contact, the slightest move ment of the lever handles causes an immediate locking of the cam or the link as the case may be. The same patterns are used for any number of locks, and a link or cam can be slipped out and replaced in a few minutes when necessary." On Saturday next there will be a "great metro tropolitan demonstration" on Blackheath against the Irish Church Bill. A Cardiff contemporary says it is currently re ported in Carmarthen that Mr. John Jones, the Con servative member for the county, intends resigning his seat in Parliament, in consequence of the death of his brother, the late Mr. David Jones, of Pantglas. This step is attri butable to the increased attention to the affairs of the bank, which will be required of the honourable member. REMARKABLE CONVICTION IN IRELAND.—At the Limerick sessions Mr. Rd. Dickson, a brother of Col. Dickson, has been tried for threatening to shoot two female servants. They invited a man named Eahill to the Colonel's house, and Dickson finding him there, presented a revolver to shoot him, and gave him up to the police. Mr. Dickson was found guilty, and sentenced to a month's imprisonment, and to find bail, or an additional month. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE HIGH SHERIFF OF BRISTOL.—On Monday night Mr. Robert Phippen, high sheriff, senior alderman, and deputy-mayor of Bristol, was dining with the mayor of the city, when he became faint. Brandy was administered, and medical aid 'pro cured ; and he rallied a little and spoke, but soon became comatose, and expired. The deceased was in his G9th year. THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR SCOTLAND. — The report in a London evening paper to the effect that Mr. Baxter will, in the event of a Secretary of State for Scotland being appointed, be raised to that dignified position, and that Mr. Candlish, M.P. for Sun derland, will succeed Mr. Baxter in the Secretaryship of the Admiralty, has at present no foundation in fact.— Scotsman. THE BISHOP OF NATAL AND THE BISHOP OF CAPE TOWN.—The hearing of the case " The Bishop of Capetown v. the Bishop of Natal," which involves ,the possession of Natal Cathedral, was resumed on Tuesday, before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, Sir John Col ville, Sir Lawrence Pell, Sir J. Napier, and Lord Chief Justice Giffard, when, after hearing the arguments of counsel on both sides, their lordships reserved their judg ment. STRANGE FREAK OF A PItODIGAL.—A rich little bit of scandal is on the tapis in the Faubourg St. Ger main. Count G— has the misfortune to be blessed with a prodigal son, who has been going on so fast that his father cut off all supplies. In a fit of revenge young hope ful invested his last louis in a corduroy jacket and blue trousers, and set up as a commissionaire in front of the Count's mansion. In order to attract customers he had the family arms engraven on his crochet. This little comedy has been going on for some time, and neither father nor son appears inclined to give in. To bring mat ters to a crisis, the son has just announced his intention of marrying a young fruitseller in the neighbourhood. HAMBURG INTERNATIONAL HORTICULTUAL EXHI BITION.—A meeting of the English sub-committee of this exhibition (which is to be opened on the 2nd of September), was held on Tuesday at the offices of the Royal Horti cultural Society. It was announced that in addition to the valuable prizes already offered for competi tion, her Majesty the Queen has graciously signified her intention to present a silver cup for the best specimens of grapes. A very liberal offer for the conveyance of contributions from this country was sub mitted and considered, and it is believed that the com mittee will be able to offer to convey all English contri butions, except implements or machinery, to and from the exhibition free of cost to the exhibitor. It was announced that no entries can be received after the expiry of the current month. PRINCE ARTHUR.—The Council of Military Edu cation, in their report, state :—" Prince Arthur remained three terms only at the Academy, and devoted his atten tion principally to artillery, fortification, and surveying. In these subjects he passed a searching viva voce examination by the Professors in June 1868, in the presence of Major-General Sir F. Abbott, a member of the Council, who expressed himself in the follow ing terms in his report : The examination being viva voce, was much more extensive and searching than it could otherwise have been made within reasonable limits of time, yet the answers given were, with few exceptions, prompt and accurate, shewing that during an unusually brief course, his Royal Highness had devoted great attention to the instruction given by the able and zealous Professors of the Academy, and proving himself to be well qualified for a commission in either of the scientific corps of her Majesty's army.'" THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—The rate of mortality in London last week was 20 per 1,000, as compared with 22 in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom. In Bristol the rate was 17, and in Glasgow 33. The rate of mortality in Paris was 23 per 1,000. In the metropolis 2,019 births and 1,231 deaths were registered, the latter having been less by 96 than the estimated number. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 305, the corrected average number being 357. Four persons died from smallpox, 22 from measles, 75 from scarlet fever, 4 from diphtheria, 90 from whooping•cough, 12 from typhus fever, 14 from enteric fever, 14 from simple continued fever, and 20 from diarrhoea. The deaths from scarlet fever exhibit an increase on the numbers returned in many previous weeks. Five persons were killed by horses or vehicles in the streets. The mean temperature during the week was 66 4 9, or CI below the average. The rangeoktopptatUre 4gring the wett..V4 mere the, PARLIAMENTARY AND MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. The select committee of the House of Commons for in quiring into the mode of conducting parliamentary and municipal elections continued its sittings on Tueday. The Marquis of Hartington presided ; and there were also present Mr. Bright, Sir George Grey, Mr. Villiers, Mr. Ward Hunt, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Mr. Egerton, Mr. W. H. Smith, Mr. Locke, Mr. Whitbread, The O'Connor Don, Mr. Brand, Mr. Leatham, and Sir F. Heygate. The Rev. George Buttler, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Limerick, being examined by The O'Connor Don, con tradicted the evidence of Mr. Spaight, who had stated that he took an active part in the last election, and sent his carriage to the several polling booths. Speaking of the position of the electors generally, he said they had until lately been in a sort of despair about getting any good from legislation, and it was only since the legislation now in progress began that they had begun to have any hope of remedial measures. The influence of the priests had been exercised to induce the people to have their views carried out by constitutional means. He should approve of the use of the Ballot, as it would do away with bribery and intimidation on the part of mobs or landlords. The only way in which he saw that a priest could get to know, by means:of the Confessional, how a man had voted, if the Ballot were established, was, if supposing the man knew that he had offended God by the way in which he had voted, and confessed it as a sin. By Sir George Grey : If he had promised to vote in one way and had voted in another, he must accuse himself of that as a sin. But if he did so, the priest would not make any use of the information directly or indirectly, for one of the most awful obligations under which the priest was placed was the maintaining of the secrecy of the Confes- sional. By Mr. Ward Hunt : The priest might impose penances. If he in any way made use of information obtained in the Confessional, he would violate his duty in the most essen tial manner, and ho would not only be set aside by his superiors, but he would he cast out by the people. By The O'Connor Don : The penances imposed at Con fessional are very slight. The Confessional could in no way aid the priest in obtaining information which could be used publicly afterwards. Military and police were sometimes used at elections, and there was a strong im pression in the minds of the Liberal party that when Tory statesmen were in power the military were some times used to carry out their views. He did not mean to say that the idea was correct. By Mr. Bright : It was not conceivable that clergymen would seek to influence a voter by refusing him the con solations of the Church, or in any similar way. By Mr. Villiers : The Ballot would be an unqualified advantage. In a great many cases it was a misfortune fo” a man to have a vote. TILE WIMBLEDON MEETING. Volunteers at the ranges, like photographers in their studios, require a good light. This so far during the pre. sent meeting they have not enjoyed, a fact which will probably account for some of the eccentric scores of well tried marksmen observable in the returns of the shooting. If the light has been bad the wind has been no better, and to-day it has blown a downright gale from the south-west. Corporal Peake, 6th Lancashire, the winner of the Prince of Wales's Prize, in making a score of 45 points—which is fully up to the average of the last five years—deserves all the more credit in consequence of the atmospheric difficulties against which he had to struggle. The names of the eight who will represent Scotland in the competition for the Elcho Challenge Shield are—Messrs. Farquharson, Feruguson, Crum- Ewen, Clewes, Malcolm, Dunlop, Burgess, and Ross. There is a doubt whether Mr. Ross will be able to shoot, owing to ill-health. If not, his place will be supplied by Captain Kinnaird. The names of the English and Irish eights have already been announced. Amongst the new prizes this year is one called the " Tomahawk," presented by Capt. Beckett. It consists of a gold watch, value £5O, the case engraved from a design by Mr. M. Morgan, the well-known draughtsman of the journal which has given its name to the prize offered by its editor. Shooting in connection with no less than nine different classes of prizes has been going on during the day. The Daily Telegraph Cup, of the value of £52105., is shot for at a distance of 500 yards, each person entering being allowed to fire five times. This year a wine cabinet,containing three dozen of champagne, has been added as a second prize to the Daily Telegraph Cup by Messrs. Farrow and Jackson. The St. George's Challenge Vase is a very handsome piece of plate, which, with the sixty money prizes associated with it, is of the aggregate value of £573. It is held by the battalion of which the winner is a member, the fortunate marksman receiving for his personal use the gold jewel of the association, and a purse of 25 dragon sovereigns. The second best shot gets the silver jewel and twenty dragon sovereigns, the third the bronze cross and fifteen dragon sovereigns, the remainder of the money being apportioned amongst the next fifty-seven men who make the highest scores. The range is 500 yards, and the number of shots allowed five. Last year Ensign Grieve, 4th Roxburgh, was the winner of the first prize, scoring twenty-seven points, the same number made in 1867. The second stage of this prize consists of shooting by the sixty winners for the Dragon Cup,value £5O, which becomes the property of the highest scorer. This portion of the corn petition stands over till Monday next. The Windmill Prizes, total aggregate value £375, are divided into fifty two prizes at 200 yards, of the aggregate value of £175, and fifty-two at 500 yards, of the aggregate value of £175, for the first stage ; and a cup (or money) value £25 for the second stage. This contest will not be concluded finally till the 12th. The small-bore breechloading rifle prizes consist of £52 in money, given by Messrs. Eley Brothers ; £5O in rifles, given by Mr. Henry, of Edinburgh ; and £2O in money, given by Mr. Frederick von Martini. The first stage at 500 yards has appropriated to it five prizes, viz., purses of £l5, £lO, £6, £5, and a Henry breechloading rifle of the value of £25. The distance for the shooting in the second stage is 800 yards, and the number of prizes are seven. The contest closes on the 15th. In this competition any military breechloader may be used that has been certified by the Superintendent of the Royal Laboratories as possessing chambering and breech-fittings suitable to the Government ammunition, and by the maker that it has been proved with cartridges constructed on the same prin ciple as those of the Government. It is also stipulated that the loading shall be from a pouch supplied at the firing point by the association, and worn by the competitor. The time allowed is five minutes at the shorter, and three minutes at the longer range, the marks men at the former firing as many shots as they can, and at the latter fifteen. To-day has also witnessed the close of the shooting for the first series Enfield Extra Prizes, 200 yards range, the close of the Enfield Nursery Stakes competition, the continuation of the Ist stage 200 and 500 yards of the Military Breechloaders and of the Enfield Association Cup contests. In the contest for the St George's Challenge Vase, representatives from sixty nine counties, including Cheshire, Cornwall, Cumberland, Devon, Durham, Lancashire, Northumberland, West moreland, and Yorkshire, put in an appearance. Amongst the good scores made by mid-day gun fire, at the Alexandra 200 Yards Range, was that of Sergeant Brown, 17th West York, 20, which was, however, equalled by Private Alexander, sergeant, of the 6th Lancashire. At the Alexandra 600 Yards' Range, Private Starman, 4th West York, made 18 points. The number of officers and men in the Associa. tion Camp yesterday was 579, and in the Regimental Camp 587. It has been arranged that the second competition for the Anglo-Belgian Prizes shall commence on the 14th. The first series, open to English Volunteers only, is for nine money prizes, of the aggregate value of £l5O, the gift of the King of the Belgians. The highest amount that can be won will be £25, and the smallest £2. The second series, open to Belgian Gardes Civiques and Eng lish Volunteers, is for sixteen money prizes, at two dis tances, 150 and 250 yards. The total value is £l5O, including engravings of the portrait and autograph of the King of the Belgians. A CASE FOR SYMPATHY.-1 have heard a man great ability express a sense of humiliation on walking through one of the Universal Exhibitions ; at every step, he said, he met something which painfully reminded him of his own ignorance, and brought vividly before his mind the narrow limits of his knowledge. I confess that the affect upon me is very different. I have walked through acres of textile fabrics, miles of ingenious machinery, tens of thousands of square yards of painting, vast accumulations of all the countless products of human ingenuity, and silently given thanks at every step. Here, I have exclaimed, is yet one more branch of knowledge on which I am, and shall always remain, hopelessly, profoundly, and contentedly ignorant. Here, for example, is a steam-engine : I have not the faintest notion how it is made, or what conditions are necessary for its success. If, by some reversion of the ordinary laws of nature, the tide of time would flow back with me, and set me down, say in the fifteenth century, I could not convey the slightest information to the curious people who would doubtless flock round me. Somehow or other, I would say, if you put water into a boiler and light a fire under it, and make a com plicated arrangement of wheels and pistons, the thing will move and carry you in a couple of hours from London to Dover ; but if you want to know how it is done you must wait for two or three centuries. It is perhaps wrong to rejoice at not knowing something, which, as people are always saying in public speeches, ought to be familiar to every schoolboy of 14; but I pity that tmaginary . schoolboy, and rejoice sincerely that so many people are labouring to remove from me every mom*. oVinvostigpiting , the *Uttar for myself.— !

The Queen, accompanied by their Royal High nesses Prince Leopold an.l Princess Beatrice, went out this morning. SCHUBERT SOCIETY. A concert for the benefit of Herr Schubert, founder of the " Schubert Society," was given last evening at the Beethoven Rooms, Harley •street— conductor, M. Jules Benedict, president of the society. The chief soloists were Herr Schratten - holz, pianoforte ; Herr Ludwig, violin ; and Herr Schubert, violincello. llerr Ludwig was much applauded for his clever execution of Tartini's "Tulle du Diable," and contributed greatly to the success of the benkficiare's original quartett, with which the first part of the concert concluded. llerr Schubert also played with much effect another of his own compositions, in two parts, a "berceuse," and a brilliant rondo, " impatience," which were greatly applauded. The vocal portion of the programme included three artists, who did not come, but their absence was compensated for by the efforts of Miss Fanny Poole, Miss Jessie Royd, and Mdlle. Chame roozow, the latter young lady making on this occa sion her second public appearance. She was pre eminently successful, and, though extremely young, sings with a purity of intonation and a correctness of style which indicate great natural capabilities and careful training in the best school. We under stand she has received her vocal education from M. F. Delsarte, the celebrated professor of singing in Paris. She was encored in Reber's lively song, " Le Jardin," and repeated it ; and the same tribute of satisfaction was paid her in the second part ; after Wenkerlin's gay ballad, " Stars the night adorn ing," she sang, accompanying herself, " The Oak and the Ash," from Chappell's collection, with an expression and pathos quite remarkable. Her voice is of beautiful quality, and she possesses the very rare merit of distinct articulation. With so many excellent points in her favour, she cau scarcely fail to achieve a first position. M. Benedict accom panied the vocalists with his habitual carefulness and tact. NAVAL AND MILITARY _INTELLIGENCE. Major-General Lord George Paget, K.C.8., In spector-General of Cavalry, made his annual in spection of the interior economy of the 3d (Prince of Wales's) Dragoon Guards, under the com mand of Colonel Tower, C. 8., at Colchester, on Monday. The Cavalry Division at Aldershot, consisting of the sth and 7th Dragoon Guards, the Gth Innis killing Dragoons, and the 10th Hussars, with the C, ill, and E batteries of the C brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, was exercised in numerous field movements on Monday, under the direction of Major-Gen. H. D. White, C.B. The movements were performed with great accuracy. The Royal Horse Guards (Blues) are expected at Aldershott in a few days from Hyde-park. They will be relieved in about a month by the Ist Life Guards, from Windsor. Brevet-Major Jolliffe and Lieut Cockraft, with 33 men Royal Marine Artillery, embarked on board the Revenge, Capt. R. Wells, yesterday at Ports mouth, for service in the Royal Alfred on the North American Station. The field telegraph waggons have arrived at Aldershott from Chatham, and will henceforth be worked in concert with the troops, under the direc tion of Capt. Stodhart, Royal Engineers. The Plover, 3, double screw gunvessel, Com mander J. A. Poland, arrived at St. Paul de Loando on May 23 from Whydah, which place she left on May 8. She was to sail from St. Paul de Loando in a few days for the Congo River. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Commander S. F. Douglas, to the Achilles, additional, for service on shore at Ply mouth ; Lieut. John A. F. Bell, to the Cockatrice ; H. Harris, midshipman, to the Minotaur ; and Ed ward S. Lean, assist. -paymaster, to the Duke of Wellington, as supernumerary. Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, G.C.8., commanding the troops at Alder shott, has notified to the division that he has re ceived an order from the Field-Marshal Command , . ing-in-Chief that, in compliance with the Queen's commands, a General Order shall• be published expressing her Majesty's entire approbation of the appearance and movements of the various corps composing the division at the review on Thurs day last. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Monday, July 5.—A quieter tone has prevailed in this market to-day, and only a very limited inquiry has been experienced. The demands of buyers appear to have been satisfied, and, although there has been no giving way in prices, quotations are not quite so extreme as they were for some things at the close of the week. BRADFORD, Monday.--A firmer tone again per vades the wool market, and this is strengthened by the increased rates now ruling at the country fairs. The demand is mostly for actual require ment, and staplers as a rule are not very willing to , part with their stocks at late rates. At old prices large sales might be effected, but as the stocks cannot be replaced at anything like the price recently ruling, there is no disposition to push sales. All descriptions participate in the better demand. The advance that has lately taken place in price is fully id. per lb. from the l o west point. In worsted yarns there is again a pretty general inquiry upon the part of export merchants- Spinners are not again seeking an advance in their quotations. The Continental merchants are not following the rise in this market as quickly as was anticipated. There is rather more doing in twofold yarns. Home sorts are going off pretty steadily. There is a slight increase in the demand for Genappe yarns. Worsted warps meet with good sale, and some spinners of these yarns have taken fair orders. There is a little in quiry in single yarns and 40's single for Russia at lower rates. There is scarcely any change in prielB' , Fancy goods still meet with the best sale, awl. iP plain goods considerable improvement is arent since last week. LEICESTER, Monday.—A more cheexful feeling pervades the wool market to-day. The result of the fair last week, and the steadily advancing quotations of cotton, have a stimulating: effect upon buyers. Bright-haired wool cony tinues to attract most attention, and bought more freely by spinners, partly on speculative account. O ther descriptions have shared in the improved demand, though in a less degree. Prices have a hardening tendency. There is a more active inquiry for woollen yarns. Manu facturers, having lately secured some further orders , are anxious to cover their requirements, lest the upward tendency in the value of wool should neces sitate an advance in the price of yarn. Both lambs' wool and worsted have benefited by the ex tended inquiry. Cotton yarns are very little in re quest. The stocks of cotton fabrics in this district' are heavy, with but little immediate sign of moving off, and buyers intimate that until they are cons" derably reduced they will act very cautiously? whilst prices remain at the present high range . Now that most of the home merchants have coal pleted stock taking, they are looking round with 5 view of placing orders for hosiery. Fancy goods ar e fairly in request, some houses being well engaged: Socks and hose are also more sought after, .1)1,1 the shirt and drawer trade is still very dragging' A few Canadians have been in the market, all have operated to a moderate extent. The boot and shoe trade is somewhat better. The settled 10 3 " ther is giving a stimulus to this branch of busine ss for home consumption, but it is not yet up to au average for the time of the year.
