It is scarcely a week since the din of battle died away into an armistice, and now we are agreeably astonished at the halcyon notes of Peace coming so unexpectedly on the southern breeze. Every true lover of humanity must wel come the news ; but while lost in bewilderment we can as yet but rub our eyes and wonder if it be tuite true, and ask how it has been brought about, and how its blessings may be estimated by all con cerned in its result. People begin to ask what sort of peace it is ? Is it partial, or, as promised, is the Peace General? To be lasting, peace must be general in its character and beneficial in its tendency. Now, we are not so sure of either, from a hasty survey of its scope. The Austrian snake is scotched, but not killed. The gangrene is left to take deeper root under the the delusion of magnanimous forbearance on the one part, and supple compliance on the other. There appears a show of Italian independence, but it is only a show. And there is, too much clap trap for national effect, and the illusion, though well got up, will not bear the touch of sober reality. NAPOLEON seems but too eager to snatch a victory for the 15th, his saint's day, when he will enter Paris like a Roman Emperor of old, and live for the moment in the blaze of his military glory, and which he has very worthily and most gal- lantly achieved. But the question arises—What has he really accomplished ?—has he fulfilled his promises ? And the answer is—only so far, but no farther. He has given peace to Italy, bnt little or no independence ; he has humbled Austria, but has not restored Italy to the Italians. He has s:.ved the pride of FRANCIS JOSEPH by accepting Lombardy—rather an Irish way of ac cepting what You have already in your clutches ! He has so far befooled the Austrian Emperor by flattering his vanity and receiving from him what would gall his German pride to yield to Sardinia. Well, if this shuffing of the cards may save the honour of the loser, the winner may not care much about the character of the game. But what do the Venetians think of the compact ? How far are they benefited by the result of the war? They are to be allowed to enter the Con federation of Italians with a German Li very ! The thing is too preposterous to be entertained by men burning to become free. Venice was on tip -toe to espouse the cause in which so many of her p eop l e have fought and bled ; and now she may well say to the Emperor NAPOLEON "thank you for nothing !" Indeed, the Venetians have not even been con sulted. Consulted ! Whc, , would condescend to consult slaves ? No, no ! I\TAroLEos would not even consult freemen —not he ! And to crown the mastery, or rather the mocker) of his rule, he has not even appeared to consult th c King of Sardinia, lout throws Lombardy into his a rms with the grace ful hauteur of a conqueror ! VICTOR EMMANUEL may well be thankful if matter: prove no worse. And then to mystify the forth coming Confedera tion of Italian Indeendence, th e y are to be blessed w ith the PO PE as Ro norary President ! Well might the venerable Lord ~LYNDHURST have asked last night, in his ignorant , surprise, " Did I hear the word honorary ?" y es , ," replied Lord WODHOVIE, more emphatically, ,norary Presi dent." Now, we will not qua rre l w , ;th the prof fered honour proposedi o be conferred of i the Head of the Catholic Church, x lint it strikes us that the services cif his HOLINESS W, ill be much lik e , those of _„ ~,ut• MA L .„ .

Italy is now divided into varied Nationalities, each over punctilious about its own prestige, so that we fear there will be little accordance, even under the nominal Presidency of the Pope—in other words, that of his Cardinal Conclave ; for they have hitherto contrived to make his own secular rule very repugnant to his subjects. How, then, is it likely to make the dissatisfied and almost rebellious like republics to harmonize into a confederation at once free and independent ? Time will prove. In the spirit of public fair play we have given the varied opinions of the Press on the French Peace. We can define it by no other name. It is French all over—or rather Napoleonic In its abruptness, seeking rather after stage effect than the true bestowal of freedom upon a liberated race. There appears to be only one actor on the scene, and he seems to take all the glory to himself. We have recently spoken in favour of the promises of the Emperor NAPOLEON, and we are now reluctantly constrained to animadvert upon the inconsistency of non-performance. We could have more heartily felt disposed to praise him to the very echo of his ambi tion, but truth compels us to be just. We write more in sorrow than in anger, and we warn him again to reconsider his own intentions, and not to be led away into visions of phantasy which may yet lure him, as they have betrayed even greater men, to their fate. So far as England is concerned—her true course must still be neutrality—and mind her own affairs, for as she has no cousins, we can assure her she has no friends —no, not even a sincere Cousin-German. This Peace will be a real God-send to Mr. GLAD STONE, for it will save him from the odiousness of reimposing an Income-tax, however modified. Already in the wrangling over the mere forma ion of the Committee, we have a foretaste of the pleasant squabbles likely to arise out of this scrutiny into all kinds of Packet and Telegraph Contracts—Past and Present. It is a scrutiny, as the :Chancellor of the Exchequer reminded the House last evening, more or less affecting a number of byegone Administrations. Doing this, it has not been advisable to exclude members who have been administrators. And if these official, or rather (in another sense than ordinary) if these ex-official members are to be included, it follows also in fair play that there should be an adequate representa tion of former Governments. That again necessitat ing in turn that independent members should like wise be insured a powerful representation. Hence it is not very surprising that the numbers of the projected Committee should have been fixed by Ministers at an aggregate of —Nineteen. Remembering that the present Cabinet extends to a total of Sixteen—we hardly think that total of nineteen committeemen an ex- travagance. But to the member for Youghal, how ever, even nineteen appeared to be insufficient. Mr BUTT laboured hard to transform the toils of the Committee to a game at Vingt-un ! Ineffectu ally, however—for the House agreeing readily enough under the circumstances to nineteen, rejected peremptorily the suggestion that even two more should be added to that unusual number, bringing it up to the charming aggregate of one-and-twenty — upon which the member for Youghal (in the interests of Ireland) appeared to have set his heart, by a sort of tender infatuation. Nineteen, then, it is definitively settled by the House of Commons, are to constitute the " tottle of the whole" of this Packet and Telegraph Contracts Committee. Not only has the 'House so far decided in the matter — but the precise nineteen have been selected from the mass of the representatives. Not, it must be confessed, however, without a wonderful amount of contention. Now that the Committee has been actually nominated, it may be as well, perhaps, to group the names together, instead of having them scattered loosely down the Parliamentary report — one or two of them lost, perhaps, to the casual glance in the midst of the squabbles of those who took part in yesterday's discussion. The Committee of inquiry into Packet and Telegraph Contracts consists, then, of the subjoined nineteen— • Mr. COBDEN, M.P. for Rochdale. Sir F. BARING, M.P. for Portsmouth. Sir S. NORTHCOTE, M.P. for Stamford. --- Lord J. MANNERS M.P. for North Leicestershire Mr. CORRY, M.P. for Tyrone. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, M.P. for Evesham. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, M.P. for Birmingham. Mr. DUNLOP, M.P. for Greenock. Mr. BAXTER, M.P. for Montrose. Captain L. VERNON, M.P. for Berks. Captain GLADSTONE, M.P. for Devizes. Lord NAAS, M.P. for Cockermouth. Mr. HUBBARD, M.P. for Buckingham. Mr. HOPE, M.P. for Windsor. Mr. WILSON, M.P. for Devonport. Mr. LAING, M.P. for Wick. Mr. H. HERBERT, M.P. for Kerry. Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P. for London. Mr. BAZLEY, M.P. for Manchester. Such are the finally chosen Nineteen. Tw a out of these nineteen have been Ministers of State — one a Whig Chancellor of the Exchequer, the other a Tory Commissioner of Woods and Forests. Be sides these two there are several who have held subordinate offices under past Administrations, a few of them holding office even under the existing Government. There is, for example, one of the whippers-in of the Treasury—and there is besides the right hon. gentleman the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, formerly Secretary to the Treasury. Then beyond these—there are the ex- (Derbyite) Secretary to the Treasury, the ex- (Derbyite) Secre tary for Ireland, and the ex- (Derbyite) Secretary to the Admiralty. There are two Irish members— the member for Kerry and the member for Tyrone. There are three Scotch members—the members namely, for Wick, for Greenock, and for Mont rose. Added to this, as representing the interests of the large mercantile constituencies, there will be found on the Committee one of the tour mem- I bers for the city of London, one of the two mem bers for the city of Manchester, and one of the two members for the borough of Birmingham. Alto gether, we cannot but think that the numbers chosen are in every way adequate, and that the members selected to complete the requisite aggregate have been most judiciously chosen. The commit tee is one in every way most desirable ; and we now commend it heartily, and with a good grace, to its most delicate and most responsible investigations. more vi s ibl e t h an s t raw s, We hav e now h a d severa l straws, and some thingway the wind. blows with our new Cab inet. And i n dicating which we rather fancy the different sections of earnest Liberals have little cause to congratulate them selves on the results. We have had already two questions of religious liberty and equality before the House, and one, more indirectly, to be sure, of civil liberty, and our Government and our new Parliament whom it leads, certainly do not appear to advantage. much inquiry, We are disposed to think, after that we have come to the bottom of the myste rious evasion of the Ballot this session. We can litle doubt that Lord PALMERSTON was ~ i n th e c ase." Not, indeed, openly—of course THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1859,1 LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : VIENNA, JULY 12. The Austrian Correspondence contains the fol lowing official despatch from Verona : " This morning the preliminary conditions of the treaty of peace with France have been signed by both Sovereigns." VIENNA, JULY 13. The Austrian Correspondence says that the fol lowing are the preliminary conditions of the treaty of peace : Austria and France will support (begunstigen) he formation of an Italian Confederation, to which Austria accedes. Lombardy, as far as the line of the Mincio, is to be given up. Mantua, Peschiera, Borgoforti, and the whole of Venetia, remain Austrian possessions. The Princes of Tuscany and Modena are to return to their states. An universal amnesty is granted. BERNE, JULY 12. The Federal Council has resolved upon disband ing the troops in the canton Ticino, where a guard for the Austrian vessels will alone remain. PARIS, JULY 12. The following official despatch has been posted up to-day at the Bourse : VALEGGIO, JULY 12. THE EMPEROR TO THE EMPRESS. A treaty of peace has been signed between the Emperor of Austria and myself. The conditions of peace are the following :—An Italian Confederation under the Honorary Presidency of the Pope. The Emperor of Austria gives up his rights over Lom bardy to the Emperor of the French, who remits them to the King of Sardinia. The Emperor of Austria keeps Venetia, but it is to form part of the Italian Confederation. A general amnesty is to be granted. FRANKFORT 0.M., JULY 12. The Oberpostands Zeitung publishes a telegram, dated Verona 12th, announcing that the preli minary conditions of peace have been signed this morning by the two Emperors. DRESDEN, JULY 12. An extra sheet of the Dresden Journal publishes a despatch from Verona, announcing that the pre liminary conditions of peace have been signed to day by the two Emperors. TURIN,•JuLy 12. Advices from Bologna to the 12th inst. state that the Marquis d'Azeglio arrived there yesterday evening, and was received with extraordinary en thusiasm by the populace. His military powers extend over the four legations of Ferrara, Bologna, Ravenna, and Forli, as far as La Cattolica. The Papal Government has just established a now customs -line between La Cattolica and Pesara. MARSEILLES, JULY 12. Advices have been received from Naples to the 9th inst. Some Swiss troops have mutinied is the barracks, and killed the colonel of the 4th regiment and se veral officers. They afterwards repaired to the royal palace, but a battalion of chasseurs and a re giment of hussars posted there forced them to fall back as far as the Champ de Mars, where they were surrounded. The General Commander-in- Chief of the Swiss called upon them to surrender but they replied by a discharge of fire-arms, wounding the general and about 20 privates. The Munziante then gave orders to fire on the mutineers with grape, by which 75 were killed and 33 wounded. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. An Imperial salute of 101 guns, fired from the Esplanade of the Invalides, at 1 o'clock to-day, an nounced to all Paris that some most important event had followed hard on the interview between the two Emperors so lately hi hostile array against each other. An event which deserved to be saluted by the harmless thunder of artillery could be nothing else than a Peace Treaty,—and such a hope was sufficient to rouse people from the mental and physical inaction which a fierce sun has now for many days almost burnt into them. Every one inquired of his neighbour, " What was all the noise about ?'' It was soon known, and it flew about the city like lightning ; it has already been flashed to every corner of France that a treaty of peace was actually sigtied yesterday between the Emperor of Austria and the Emperor of the French; and, what is a still greater innovation, and which merits the reprobation of professional diplomatists, the work was done without the knowledge, much less aid, of either Minister or Plenipotentiary. M. Walewski has been as much taken by surprise as any one ; he knew no more about the armistice or treaty than did the Chinese figure in the Rue Vivienne. Napoleon 111. subverts all notions of the regular bred diplomatist, as his uncle, General Bonaparte, puzzled Beaulieu and Wurmser by his original and irregular strategy. This was one of the hottest days experienced in Paris for some time. The glass marked 96 Fahren heit in the shade at three o'clock. The Emperor will arrive in Paris to-morrow or the day after, but will defer his official entry until he makes it at the head of the army of Italy. PARIS BOURSE, July 12.—Sales for realisation were made at the opening and prices receded, but on the official telegram, announcing the conclusion of peace, a general rebound took place in Rentes add Shares. Threes, after having been done at 67f. 75c., improved to 70f., receded to 69f. 20c., and again rallied to 69f. 80c.

Accotmt ..... 862 50 Home Debt — not. Not, very possibly, by any direct suggestion ; but, by an alter ego of much more ad vanced politics, being well acquainted with his wishes, and those of his Whig coadjutors. The Ballot Society have adopted a resolution repu diating the procrastination as quite opposed to their policy ; Mr. BERKELEY, too, we are glad to find, did earnestly support the course of taking as early a vote as possible. But twenty-five members met, in response to a circular, asking them to consider the best 'mode of bringing forward the question this session ; many members spoke strongly on the ' necessity of the Ballot. The want of it had made them recently smart severely, but Sir JOHN SHELLEY, cleverly, after some discussion, interposed the suggestion, "is it expedient to moot the subject of the Ballot at all this ses sion." When it came to the vote, twelve were caught with Whig chaff, eleven were for going straight forward, and Sir JOHN SHELLEY, to the infinite comfort of Lords PALMERSTON and RUSSELL, and a whole bevy of Whigs, was in a majority of one ! Twelve of the two hundred and thirty-eight who have voted for the Ballot settled that the Whigs should not be tested this session ; and, from the shape the business had taken, there seemed to be no help for it. But in the other two affairs the new men were compelled to show their colours. On Monday night our new Home Secretary spoke for himself and colleagues. The question was one which Free-traders and Religious Liberty-men ought to have been in a position to answer at once with a simple—" No." Mr. BAINES asked—Does Her MAJESTY'S Government intend to renew the monopoly, originating in King JAYES's reign, of printing the Bible ? And what is the answer of the successor of Mr, WALPOLE ? Why, being a good Liberal, he treats us to a story of the Royal prerogative ! The QUEEN, forsooth, at this time of day after the abolition of all other patent monopolies, after the patents having been rejected by the Irish Court of Chancery as essentially vicious in principle, after being sun dered in Scotland—the QUEEN is to hear of her Liberal Ministers recognising her prerogative to grant a monopoly of printing the Bible itself ! And then our Free-trading Home Secretary ac tually would make us believe that accuracy and cheapness are best secured by Government super vision ! ! They set up a board to revise the Bibles printed by Scotch printers, and would have to pro vide one here ! We are ashamed to notice such nonsense, and worse than nonsense. Pray what right on earth have the Government, the civil power, to interfere with printing the Bible more than with printing SHAKESPEARE ? We should like a test to be produced from the Bible itself warranting the civil power to take care of the ac curacy of the Book of books. But quite apart from the ineffable presumption of our statesmen in busying themselves with keeping guard over the Bible, where have they learned that accuracy and cheapness aro better secured by Government patents, or Boards, than by the unrestricted competition of traders. We shall want a board to time our watches, or to guarantee the stitching of our coats next. We did suppose that by common consent, monopoly and protection were buried in 1852, for ever ; but Sir 0. C. LEWIS, the Whig Free-trader must resuscitate them on behalf of a shameless abuse of the Royal prerogative ! No, we demand a perfectly free printing of the Bible. We want no boards—no Whig jobs—no new places and placemen. We are thankful to say we could ourselves, if we wished, print a perfectly accurate Bible in our own office, without the kind help of Sir G. C. LEWIS or tusy of his intermeddling, boards. We hope the press of England will stand upon its dig nity and rights against our protectionist patron of printing a book which no more needs or wants the Government to look after than any other person. The other straw was Mr. DILLWYN'S Bill. Sir G. C. LEWIS actually went to the ex-Attorney - General to find a pretext for trying to shelve the bill by a Select Committee. Mr. DYLLWYN com pelled him to divide, and the Government, with the exception of Mr. GLADSTONE were ashamed to vote against him ; but the Home Secretary per sisted in compelling Mr. DILLWYN to accept a Select Committee. The business is a very simple one. The CoUrt of Chan cery has decided and so made it law, that if the founders of a Grammar School have men tioned no creed, the narrow and sectarian interpre tation of presuming they were meant to be Church of England schools shall be adopted. The Bill simply provides that this bigoted assumption shall cease; that the presumption, infuture, shall be the liberal one—that if the founder mentioned no creed or sect, the school shall, in all respects, be open to all. This Bill our Government has done its best to "burke!" And these are the men for whom we have turned out Tories. We believe that both Mr. DILLWYN and Mr. BAINES would have fared better if Lord DERBY had still been in office. THE STATE OF THE THAMES. At the meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers yesterday, Dr. Letheby reported as follows respect ing the present state of the Thames :—" The foul condition of the river continues to increase, and is exciting attention both here and on the continent. I received a number of communications relating to the subject and to the measures which are thought necessary for abating the evil. Some of these are before you ; but as I have no authority from you to entertain them, or to examine into their merits, I would recommend that they be forwarded to the 'Metropolitan Board of Works. One of these communications is from M. Bourbee, Professor of Geology at Paris. It has reached me through the Lord Mayor. Another is from M. Goethaler, of Antwerp ; and there are several which have been directed to this commission. M. Bourbee is of opinion that the whole of the present mischief is due to the quality of the soil through which the river flows, and he recommends that the whole of the infected bed of the river should be covered with hydraulic lime and pebbles. He thinks that the efficacy of the concrete thus formed will depend, not merely upon its producing a solid channel for the flow of the river, but also on the causticity of the lime, which will destroy the putrid organisms, and therefore he suggests that the whole course of the river should be concreted at one time. He is,he says, aware of the magnitude of the undertaking, and he trusts to English wealth and English skill for accomplishing it. The other schemes are of less pretension, and you may perhaps be of opinion that they ought to be forwarded to the Metropolitan Board, who are now inquiring into the subject. I wish however to make this remark—that the state of the river is fast becoming worse and worse. The organic impurities are increasing from day to day ; and are now just four times as abundant as they were on the 11th of June." Mr. DAw (chief clerk) said he had been desired to make a return to the Secretary of State of all that had been done by the commission in connection with the river. Of course he could only return nil, as the Court had nothing to do with the river. Dr. Letheby was requested to forward the com munications referred to in his report, to the Metro politan Board of Works. DINNER, TO THE EARL OF DERBY AND MR. DISRSELL—The dinner to the late Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer, which will take place on Saturday in the Merchant Taylors' Company's Hall, is not given by that hon. company (as by some mistake stated by us yesterday), but by the supporters of the late Govern ment, in token of their admiration of the great talents and successful conduct of affairs of their celebrated chiefs. — Kerning Herald.

A second fete will take place on the followin g da y in aid of the same society, when, among other special at tractions, there will be a grand concert. Th o ob j ects aimed at by the society are so excellent that it is to be hoped these fetes will be abundantly successful, The Three Palaces, and other Poems. By James Orton, author of " The Enthusiast," &c. Bos worth and Harrison. The chief object with the majority of the young poets of the present day is to astonish, to amaze, and to mystify, or, if such be not their avowed object, it is certainly the effect produced on the mind of many a bewildered reader. Suffering from many a painful expqience of this kind, it is to us peculiarly refreshing to meet with any aspirant to the bay-wreath who will condescend to be natural, whose homely muse breathing the language of true emotion, now thrilling with tenderness, now melting with pathos, can arouse the sympathy of the heart and captivate the imagination of the reader. Such praise, in no measured degree, may be awarded to Mr. Orton. His poems are ieal— his feelings are earnest. He does not pause to select the most appropriate epithet, the most choice expression, but "out of the fulness of the heart" his verses are poured forth. Immeasurably the best stanzas in this volume, those filled with the most poetic spirit, and clothed in the most harmonious language have been written under the influence of a heavy bereavement. So true is it, as Shelley sings of poets— " They learn in suffering what they teach in song." Those " chords which vibrate sweetest pleasure" on the enraptured ear of the listener, too often " thrill with deepest notes of woe" from the an guished heart that gives them utterance. The poems to which we allude in this instance are dedi cated to the memory of Mr. Orton's young wife, snatched from him in the early days of their union. One entitled " Julia," commences — Oh ! once my soul was filled with light, And once my heart was filled with flowers ; The light hath fled—the flowers are dead, And she is in the angel-bowers. Another, " To Johnny," will find a responsive echo in many a sympathetic heart. It has that " touch of nature which makes the whole world kin." TO JOHNNY. Come hither, darling boy ! Come hither in thy joy, For the flood of tears is sweeping athwart thy father's soul ; For this great and solemn sadness Bath blotted out all gladness, And I hear throughout Life's cavern the blackened waters roll. Come hither in thy joy, In thy bliss without alloy, And murmur that sweet name which hath loft my lips for ever. _ _ . In my soul alone it dwelleth, Where the spring of tears upwelleth, But 'twere sweet to hear that sainted name on guileless lips for ever. Go—leave me in thy joy, With thy loved and broken toy, Why let thee dream of woe which belongeth to another ? Too soon that joy will fail, Too soon thou'lt hear that tale, How the ancient sleep of humankind came down upon thy mother. Among the miscellaneous poems, one full of music and melody, entitled " Old England's Sabbath- Bells," begins— OLD ENGLAND'S SABBATH-BELLS. Oh I again I hear the ringing, Hear the grand and joyous swinging, The loud clear silver ringing of Old England's Sabbath bells ; Now loud—now faintly chiming, Like the sweet, sad antique rhyming Which through the ancient poet-realms so sadly, sweetly swells. • ----- Another most effective little poem, " The Doctor's Watch," will be read with a mournful interest and appreciation by all who have watched by the bed side of some suffering friend : I hate the sound of the Doctor's watch As it ticks so solemn and slow ; In every beat ye hear the feet Of the hopes that come and go. " The Three Palaces," which gives its name to the volume, is an exquisitely beautiful allegory— verifted, as this volume itself would indicate, in the author's life. The first Palace is "Mind-built," and produces only those barren and hollow plea sures which result in vanity and vexation of spirit. The second is " Heart-built," and for awhile fills its possessor with love and peace : The seasons came and went, And sweet babes nestled on that saintly breast; My wine of life ran red, And ruby-tinged lay all the land of peace and rest. God spake—(the deed was done) : " Not thus—not thus—the race ordained is run ;" He took my earthly sun, And night came down when day had scarce begun. Once more another Palace is erected, and this time a " temple not made with hands"—" Faith-built," in which the saddened " heart" and wearied "mind" find at length true happiness and repose. One of the latest poems in the collection, " Sunset to Sun rise," would induce us to believe that the grief which has overshadowed the heart of the writer is yielding to now influences of hope, and an earnest ambition to perform worthily his part in the battle of life. Heartily do we wish him God-speed. Recognising the beauties scattered over these pages ; observing, moreover, the tender 'susceptibility of heart, the dauntless energy of purpose, and, above all, the profound religious sentiments which charac terise the author, we are fain to regard " The Three Palaces" only as the harbinger of some more ambi tious effort, and some yet greater achievement from the hand of Mr. Orton. MEETING OF THE .ROYAL AGRICUL TURAL SOCIETY. WARWICK, TUESDAY EVENING. The show commenced to-day ; that is, the imple ment-yard was open to the public at 10 o'clock. Such a show of implements has never before been witnessed. At Chester last year it was grand, but the midland counties is always par excellence in that line, and certainly the display here fully maintains its prestige in that particular. There is a great dis play of steam-engines, all applicable to agricultural uses. Clayton and Shuttleworth, of London, exhibit some fourteen engines, portable and fixed. Taxford of Boston, Harrowby of Grantham, Ransoms of Ipswich, and others, shine pre-eminent in this walk. In field implements there are a host of exhibitors. Messrs. Samuelson, of Banbury, have a great dis play. Messrs. J. and F. Howard, of Bedford, ex hibit every variety of those ploughs, harrows, and other implements of that class, for which they have so long been celebrated. Messrs. Ransome of Ips wich, Barrett of Exhall, and Crosskill of Beverley, all displayed great excellence in this department. There is a very novel and very clever invention, exhibited by Mr. Smith, of Peasenhall, Suffolk, which may turn out of immense usefulness to the agriculturist ; this is an implement having in view the subjugation of the turnip fly. It is a drill, by means of which the turnip plant is wetted, water being sprouted on the plant whilst the fly is located; this is followed by an immediate deposit of slaked lime or other dry dust, which kills the fly in a very short space. This implement was one of the great attractions to the agriculturists present to-day. Amongst the novelties in steam engines is one by Messrs. Smith and Ashby, of Stamford ; it is adapted for use chiefly in countries where coal is less plentiful than it is in England. It was the boiler flue and tubular combined, and carries its own water cistern, in which the pump is fixed. The trials were interesting; almost everybody standing by had a favourite implement. Bushy, Howard, Hornsby , H e mmans, were all marked fa vourites, and upon the whole the ploughing was splendidly done. The trials with the steam ploughs take place to-morrow. There were trials with scarifying implements, with the steam draining machine, and other imple ments, all going on at the same time ; but the most interesting of all were the trials with the mowing machines. Messrs. Burgess and Key, of Newgate-street, London ; Messrs. Harwood, of Suffolk ; and Wood's reaper and mower competed. If we mistake not the first is an American inven tion ; the work was well done by each, but the im plement exhibited by Messrs. Burgess was the greatest favourite. The prize list will be issued early in the morn ing for the implements and for the cattle as usual in the afternoon. The following are all the prizes awarded up to this evening. CIIEESE. Judges—J. Daniels and James Watson. Champion prize of £3O for the b es t f our c h eeses , not less thon 3 41 bs. weight each, entered in any of the classes—To No. 6, John M.

First prize, £l5, and second prize, £lO, were withheld for wadt of sufficient merit. WOOL. Judge—H. B. Hughes. Class 1. For the best six fleeces of Leicester Wool—The prize, £lO, to No. 8, George Reading, of Priors Hardwick, Stockton, near Rugby, Warwick. Class 2. For the six best fleeces of South Down ~. ... y Wool—The prize £lO, to No. 9. the Duke of Rich mond, Goodwood, Chichester. Class 3. For the six best fleeces of Gloucester Wool—The prize, £lO, to No. 15, Samuel Pratt, of Bubbenhall, near Kenilworth, Warwick. Class 4. The six best fleeces of Shropshire or mixed Wool—The prize, £lO, to No. 32, Thomas Horton, of Harnage Grange, Shrewsbury, Salop. With reference to wools, it may be noticed that in class 3 there was only one exhibitor, but the quality was extremely good. The exhibition of specimens of wool promises to be one of the most interesting features in the future exhibitions of the society. The show of cheese was moderately good The cattle exhibition will be first-rate. In the foremost rank of excellence will be that fine breed of horses for agricultural purposes for which this part of the country has long been so famous. There are many samples of agricultural manures exhibited. Messrs. Proctor and Ryland, of Bristol and Birmingham, and Chester, and Warwick, and other places, occupy their usual post of eminence in that department of agrcultural science. The show ground was filled to-day with the curious in agricultural pursuits, and in every respect this exhibition of the Royal Society can scarcely fail to be a success. Warwick and Leamington are full : the streets and towers of Warwick, so full of historic associations, are gaily decorated; and the Royal Society has never been better " housed." FRANCE AND AUSTRIA. The onward march of events maintains its pace Since Napoleon's arrival in Italy scarce a day - has passed without some startling fact. We have de scribed three great battles, and we have announced a truce, and we had hardly time to calculate the probabilities that out of this truce a Peace would come, when hot upon the intelligence that an ar mistice was concluded come tidings of the sequel we had predicted. Yesterday after - noon the news reached London that the preliminaries were already signed, and the Ministers in both Houses of Par liament were able to communicate the basis of the peace. The whole seems to have been arranged between the two Emperors at the interview that took place at Villafranca on Monday morning. Louis Napoleon is true to the precedents of the founder of his house. As Napoleon the Great granted an armistice to the Emperor Alexander after the great battle of Friedland, and three days afterwards settled the outlines of a treaty upon " the raft of Tilsit," so Napoleon, the Nephew, has given to his victory at Solferino the historical sequences of an armistice, an interview, and a pre liminary treaty. What happened on the raft at Tilsit is all now history ; what happened in that room at Villafranca we cannot yet know, but we may hope with confidence that the conversation be tween the Imperial negotiators of 1859 did not com mence in the same words which opened the Confer ence of 1807. Alexander's first expression to Napo leon was " I hate the English as much as you do, and am ready to second you in all your enterprises against them." Fran cis Joseph did not, we imagine, thus commence ; nor did our good ally and fast friend answer, as his uncle answered—" In that case everything will be easily arranged, and peace is already made." Happily, England has for once nothing to do with this arrangement ; and, when Austria and France make up their disputes, the secret articles that may be agreed upon cannot with any reason bear reference to jealousies or hatred of this Empire. The two Emperors met at Villafranca alone. Doubtless there was at Villafranca, as at Tilsit, the splendid staff, comprising Marshals of Loth Empires. But there does not appear to have been any inter vention of professional diplomatists. Face to face and mind to mind Napoleon 111. and Francis Joseph discussed the present and determined the future. Such is, as we know, the French Emperor's habit in things of far less importance than the re-settle ment of Europe and the creation of two new king. doms. Francis Joseph was fain to follow where the more powerful mind led, and we may fairly speculate that if it be French policy that peace with Austria shall be lasting there is little left for any European Conference to carp or cavil over. But the Emperors seem to have been alone, not only in the sense of having no Ministers clog their counsels, but also in the still more important sense that they had no allies to start difficulties or to inter pose pretensions. We hear no mention of Sardinia. One of the principal topics dolt on in the manifesto that pretended to justify this war was that Austria insisted, contrary to natural justice, on excluding Sardinia from the Congress which was to bind her to peace and order. Sardinia had been the cause, or at least the excuse, for this harvest of glory which is now being garnered. She has seen her country wasted, her finances ruined, and her army cut up. She has fought with a bravery which gives the friends of Italy fresh hope of an Italian nation. On the day of the great battle she encountered with credit double her own number of Austrians. It was her cause that was risked upon the fortune of war, it was her country that was devastated, it was to her banner that all Italy was called upon to rally ; yet we do not hear that the King of Sardinia, who had been so conspicuous at Solferino, played as large a part at Villafranca. This is rather a potent symptom, and it already begins to look as if our predictions of the rather tame part he would have to play everywhere, except in the fighting, would be fulfilled. Not that we ever anticipated that the French Emperor would be ungenerous to his ally. Napoleon is too grand seigneur for that. We felt that he would be, and we now admit that he is, even lavish of his spoil ; but Sardinia must be con tent to take it from the great man, and upon the great man's conditions. Lombardy is ceded to the Emperor, and the Emperor tranfers it to the King of Sardinia. We shall hear no more of uniting all Italy in one powerful kingdom under Victor Emmanuel. If we would pursue the his• tory of the Sardinian nation, it must be to watch the fortunes of her constitutional institu tions, or to canvass the question whether the result of the war has been to annex Lombardy to Piedmont, or to annex Piedmont to Lombardy. We may have also to mark whether the Lombards are settling down contentedly under the Sardinian rule, and whether Milan is satisfied to call Turin her Metropolis. For the present, however, Louis Napoleon monopolises the glory and the power. He is evidently determined that the world shall make no mistake as to who is the liberator of Italy. It is he, Napoleon 111., who is imposing his will upon the beaten Francis Joseph, and when it is done the King of Sardinia will, of course, be per mitted to sign the conditions he has extorted. But let Sardinia be grateful and Venice be thankful ; let Tuscany wait for orders, and let the Romans refrain from cheering General Goyon too boisterously. The two eagles are in the air, circling in friendly flight. Let every meaner thing cower on the earth and beware the swoop. Will Italy be content with this freedom from the Alps to the Adriatic ? Is the Pope so popular in his sovereign capacity that all Italy will congratulate themselves upon being brought under his "hono rary" Presidency? Does Sardinia feel no suspicion that there was some wisdom in the advice so often tendered her, to labour out by peaceful means and by the progress of industry and intelligence the gradual emancipation of the Italian race ? We speak not of Victor Emmanuel. He will receive a great accession of territory; he will have bartered a dream for a moderate reality, and according to the ordinary notion of ordinary kings he comes out a gainer. It is true that he shines palely in the glare of his benefac tor's glory ; and for his dignity's sake he is a little too much under the hand of his gigantic friend. He has come to be thought for, and acted for, and treated for ; but he has grown into a larger Power under the patronage of his Imperial relative. It is of the people of Sardinia that we would inquire whether they are still so sanguine of the good ef fects of this French alliance as thay were four months ago ? Hare they no nervousness about those constitutional institutions which they gave up so loyally to the keeping of their King, to be restored when the moment of peril should have passed away.. And Kossuth—whose hand is ar rested when in the act of firing the train which was to wrap Hungary in smoke and ruin—what thinks he at this moment of the Emperor whom he eulo logised in all our manufacturing towns ? Matters are not looking so well as they might look for these apostles of confusion and enemies of peaceful ad vancement; but they have nothing left to do but to make the best of it. The Sardinians must hope that the Emperor of the French will take care that their former free Government is re-established in Piedmont. The Lombards must hope that Consti tutional Government will be extended to Lom bardy, and upon a cheaper scale than it was worked in Sardinia. Venice must hope that her independence will iot be a mere name, and that the influence of France and Aus tria united will not be more unbearable than the rule of Austria singly. The Romans must hope that the " Italian Confederacy , under the honorary presidency of the Pope' will be nothing like any government they have hitherto known under these todinfallible auspices. Kossuth also must hope that the restoration of the kingdom of Hungary is, although at present unreported, in cluded in the programme of the new treaty. All this maybe in the minds of the two Emperors, and may be intended by the scanty' ;and,hints if 50 lve ,illa have y of_ the couditions o f their alliance Villa franca will in all ages yet to come take precedence of Tilsit. The absence of Sardinia from the con ference will then be explained upon the supposition that the two Imperial friends met alone in order thatmight prepare this most agreeable sur the friends of humanity through ou t th e rs they to world.—Times. LA Jr INTEL. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE LOVELL.-JUDGMENT. This bankrupt was described as a currier and leather seller, of Northampton, and his honour gave judgment on the question of certificate. The case was heard a few days since, when Mr. Bagley opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had fraudulently obtained a large quantity of goods when he was hopelessly in debt, and that he had also made a fraudulent preference to a Mr. Sheffield, from whom he had obtained £llO on an acceptance falling due, when he was on the verge of bank ruptcy, and then on being pressed the bankrupt gave up property more than sufficient to cover the debt, and left only a very small dividend for the rest of the creditors. His Honour said that, in his opinion, the obtaining goods when there was not the slightest chance of being able to pay for them, was a fraud ; but in several cases the decisions of the Lords Justices had held it did not, and in deference to their opinion he would give the bankrupt the benefit of the doubt on his mind, as to whether, in this case, there had not been fraud. On the second point, as to the fraudulency, it had been urged that the bankrupt had acted under pressure, and therefore there was no fraudulent pre ference. His honour, however, said the bankrupt's conduct had been most scandalous and disgraceful, and suspended the certificate (third class) for twelve months. Protection for three months. IN RE GOLDSMITH-ALLEGED FRAUD. This bankrupt was described as of Finsbury Pavement, and St. Swithin's-lane, and a general merchant. This wag a meeting for choice of assignees. The bankrupt is in Newgate on a charge of fraud. The debts are considerable, and are being investigated by Messrs. Hart Brothers on behalf of the assignee, as it is thought many are fraudu lent or fictitious. Mr. Reed appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Treherne and Mr. Metcalfe, from Messrs. Yenning and Co., for the creditors. An application was made on Saturday for an examination of the bankrupt, with a view of getting evidence in s upport of the prosecution, but his honour refused it on that ground, but said the bankrupt could be examined generallY after the trial. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter and a Jury ) GANDLE V. THOMPSON-SINGULAR MERCANTILE CASE. Plaintiff is a ship and insurance broker, of 68, Mark-lane, and was represented by counsel, and defendant is a mer chant of the City of London. This was a writ of inquiry under the following peculiar circumstances : According to plaintiff's statement, it appeared that in the year '5B, being desirous of extending his business, he was called upon by defendant, who informed plaintiff that he was going upon business to the continent of Europe, and might be able to recommend plaintiff a considerable amount of business. An agreement was drawn up, and plaintiff handed over the sum of £l5O, to be applied sa travelling expenses, besides at various times lending defendant small sums amounting to £l6 10s. BY the terms of the agreement defendant was to have 50 per cent. upon the net profit of all business introduced by him. No business had been . introduced by defendant, and plaintiff might as well have thrown his money into the Thames. Defendant had only ex pended £l4B, and plaintiff's moiety being £74 the jury would have to determine what sum plaintiff was entitled to. Defendant then rose and read from a thick brief sore personal statements and, though repeatedly called to order, persisted that it was for his case. The learned Secondary pointed out that defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, Sand was making state' ments that would take plaintiff by surprise. The defence appeared to be that plaintiff had by his W I :, act lost business introduced by defendant; that he was una o to carry on the business of a shipbroker, and that defend ant had been induced to expend £75 of his own money' which had been lost. Defendant said he had been attracted by an advertise' ment in the Times, and that was his first introduction to plaintiff, who had such a miserable office that no captain ei a vessel would go to it. He was quite ignorant of all ters connected with a shipbroker's business, and advised the captain of an eighty ton vessel to load for Calcutta* (Laughter.) Defendant said he should avoid all person ality, but he must show that plaintiff had heen unable to carry on business, having no funds and no knowledge i the business. The learned Secondary said it was his duty to direct at a jury to find for plaintiff for £94 14s. Bd, Defendant 130 allowed judgment to go by default, and if he had suffere d . through any breach in the agreement committed by plate' tiff, he had his remedy. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(7IIIS .Dll THAMES. TILE BATTLE OF THE BOYNE—AWICWARD MANNEIL of CELEBRATING THE 12TH OF JULY.-Emma Mason , II strange and dissipated-looking woman was brought befor e Mr. Yardley charged with stealing a pair of men's bool s. Henry Fordham, a police constable, stated that he sal the prisoner seated en the steps o f a d oor - at t h e corn er of Spectacle-alley, Whitechapel. She appeared to be ye/ tipsy, and he lifted her up, and looked under her cloak and found in her hands a pair of men's boots well studded with iron nails which he believed had been stolen from some excavator or other labourer, and she refused to answer hil questions, and became very abusive and noisy. He then conveyed her to the station house. The prisoner in defence said she got drunk yesterday bey cause it was the 12th of July. 12th of Mr. Yardley—What is th ere p ar ti c ularly on the July ? The prisoner —I don't know, indeed. It is the cuotottl to keep up the 12th of July where I came from. Mr. Yardley—What for, I should like to know ? The Prisoner —The defeat of the Papists. Mr. Yardley—Where and when ? Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the 12th of July sq ° the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. The prisoner—Yes, that's it. Och, faith now, played up the " Boyne-water" yesterday. Mr. Yardley—ls it your custom to get drunk on the V of July ? The prisoner —To be sure it is. (A laugh.) Mr. Yardley—Where did you obtain the boots ? 0 0 The prisoner —A man from Liverpool gave them to because it was the 12th of July. I Mr. Yardley—A very lame story, indeed ; and ca l s', don't believe. You live in a v e ry suspicious neigh b°ar hood indeed. Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, is a ery bad place indeed. Is this woman known ?
