771. E PRINCE OF WALES IN QUEBEC. • LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Anglo-Saxon, which touched at Queenstown yesterday, arrived here early this morning. The Quebec Chronicle of the 25th ult. gives the following account of the Prince of Wales's proceed- ings in Quebec "About 3 o'clock on the 21st the booming of heavy guns from the whole of the batteries of th© fortress, and from all the ships in harbour, gave s i g nal that the Prince was leaving the Governor- General's and coming to take up his quarters in the Palace prepared for him, and he shortly afterwards made his appearance, driving down between the files of soldiers who lined the streets. It rained heavily at the time, but as his Royal Highness and suite were in covered carriages the brilliancy of their uniforms was by no means tarnished. Having taken possession of their apartments, all of which are beautifully furnished, and divested themselves of their overcoats, &c., the Royal party entered the reception room, late the Legislative Council Cham ber, and arranged themselves in front of the crim son drapery of the Throne. The Prince was, of course, in front, the central figure in the group, at tired in the regulation dress of a Colonel, with all his ribands and orders around his person. An ad dress was then presented to the members of the Legislative Council, and then followed a ceremony which it had been rumoured would be performed, but of which nobody was certain. The Duke of Newcastle, by command of his Royal Highness, advanced to the Speake r, and intimated that the honour of knighthood would be conferred upon him; so Mr. Belleau — soo n to be Mr. no longer—ad vanced reverently and knelt on both his knees, while the Prince, taking the Duke's unsheathed sword, laid it first on his left, then on his right s houlder, saying, at the same time that he adminis tered the magic touch, ' Rise Sir Narcisse Belleau.' Sir Narcisse accordingly rose, and rose a knight. The rest of the proceedings of the Legislative Coun cil were, after this, comparatively tame. The mem bers all filed past, from left to right, and were pre sented individually—Colonel Irvine and Earl St. Germans announcing the names, the clerks and attaches of the house receiving a similar honour. Then, with due dignity and deliberation, they re tired. " In a few minutes the crimson doors again swung upon their hinges, and the Commons of Canada ap peared upon the scene. First the Sergeant, Mr. Macdonnell, with his silver chain, his ponderous golden mace, knee breeches, silk stockings, and etceteras, bowing in due and ancient form. Next Mr. Speaker, in all the amplitude of his Commons' robe, the beauty of Valenciennes ruffles and wrist bands, the quaintness of shoes and buckles, the majesty of cocked hat. Then the rest of the Com mons, in dress—tail coats, white cravats, and gloves, &c. The ;ceremonial gone through with this body was just the same as with the Council. The Speaker, with sonorous voice, rolled out the feeling words of the address—first in English, then in French, polished for the occasion ; and, in reply, the quiet tones of the Prince's youthful voice were listened to in deepest silence. Was Mr. Henry Smith to receive the honour of knighthood was then the anxious thought of every one, and, though there was a short delay, the suspense did not last long, for on invitation of his Grace, the Speaker knelt, and rose Sir Henry Smith. Then the mem bers filed before 'the Prince, passing the reverse way from those of the Council, and were presented by name, the whole of them, excepting Mr. Mowat, detained by illness in his family, being present. The Attaches of the House were the last of the pro cession, and then the Commons were bowed out. They most of them, of course, had the bearing of gentlemen. Some were, however, rather singular, to say the least, and at these his Royal Highness could not repress an involuntary smile. " The address of the assembly was then read, to which the Prince replied as follows : ';' Gentlemen,—No answer that I can return to your address will sufficiently convey my thanks to you, or ex press the pleasure which I have derived from the manifes tations of loyalty and affection to the Queen my mother, by which I have been met upon my arrival in this province. " ' As an !Englishman, I recognize with !pride, in those manifestations, your sympathy with the great nation from which so many of you trace your origin, and with which you sharo the honours of a glorious history. "' In addressing you, however, as an Englishman, I do not forget that some of my fellow-subjects here are not of my own blood. To them also an especial acknowledgment is due, and I receive with peculiar gratification the proofs of their attachment to the Crown of England. They are evidence of their satisfaction with the equal laws under which they live, and of their just confidence that, whatever be their origin, all Canadians are alike objects of interest to their Sovereign and her people. " ' Canada may be proud that within her limits two races, of different language and habits, are united in the same Le gislature by a common loyalty and are bound to the same constitution by a common patriotism. " ' But to all of you, and to the 3,000,000 of British sub jects of whom you are the representatives, I am heartily thankful for your demonstration of good will, and I shall not readily forget the mode in which I have been received among you. " With you I regret that the Queen has been unable to comply with your anxious desire that she would visit this portion of her empire. I have already had proofs of the affectionate devotion which would have attended her pro gress; but I shall make it my first, as it will be my most pleasing duty, upon my return to England to convey to her the feelings of love and gratitude to her person and her rule which you have expressed on this occasion, and the senti ment of hearty welcome which you have offered to me, her son.' " A dozen or so of the officers of the garrison came next in order, after whom a very different body came in—namely, the Synod of the Anglican Church, diocess of Quebec. Bishop Mountain led in his flock of lay delegates and clergy, the latter of whom wore gowns and hoods of various linings, from Ox ford ermine, through Dublin scarlet, to Lennoxville white tape. The venerable Bishop, his voice feeble address from thi s b o d y, to w hi c h with age, read the ' all the Synod audibly said Amen; Th erep l y was as follows : _ _ " Gentlemen,—lt is a source of no little pleasure to me to receive from you these words of welcome, and to hear from the lips of your Bishop the assurance that your prayers are offered for my f u t ure use f u l ne ss and happiness. " Witkin the walls of your cathedral I have joined in the petition offered for the Q ueen , a nd I am convinced that the ministers of this church, from whom this address ema nates, do not fail to inculcate those principles of loyalty which are so characteristic of this province. "' I trust that it may be my lot, whatever be the future reserved for me, to realise the hopes which you have ex pressed, and to secure the beneficial results o f this my first acquaintance with the Canadian people.' " They then retired, and the general levee-12 o'clock—commenced. At the levee about 1,000 gentlemen were presented, and a number of ad. dresses from national societies and other confederat e bodies. These were, however, delivered without receiving any replies. " After the levee upwards of 50 gentlemen — members of the legislative Council and Assembly and others—partook of a dejeuner with his Royal Highness. The number of those to be invited to a repast with the Prince here is about 180, and they are divided into three parts according to alphabeti cal precedence. " After the dejeuner the weather became beauti fully fine, and the Prince and his suite drove in carriages to Moritmorenci Fans. There were at least a dozen arches built on the road thither ; the houses were dree sed with flags, and Dorchester bridge was most handsomely ornamented. There w e re crowds of people on the way out, shouting and cheering lustily. The falls were very fine, and the volum e of \rater many times as great as usual, owing to the late excessive rains. It is needless to say that his Royal Highness was enraptured with the scenery. proceeded when there to the Na- tural Steps, about a mile up the river, a most sin gular and picturesque formation. Refreshments • were liberally provided for his Royal Highness and suite when there. On his return to the city, where he arrived at 11 alf-past 7 o'clock, the Prince was heartily cheere , ?.. He dined at the Parliamen Roue with a seLlect pariy- " At the ball :at the Music Hall, en the 23d, the Prince danced every dance with various ladies of the city, an d on a y left at half-past 4in the morn ing. A slight izccident occurred during one of the polkas. A little; middy, who whirled his partner into too close P r oximity to the Prince, tripped his royal highness uP. who fell on one knee. The lady did not fall, am I. it is only to contradict the exag- ..........—....-----,..- 7 - 7 --- gerated rumours of the incident that the fact is 1 mentioned here. The supper was admirably get up, and ample justice done by the Prince, as by others, to the fare. During the day he had visited the La val University, and in the reception room there he received and replied to the a ddress from the hier archy of the Roman Catholic Church and the mem bers of the University. " His royal highness passed along the Grand Battery, which was converted into a shrubbery of spruce, and, amid the cheers of those assembled, he entered the main portal of the Laval building, the band playing ' God save the Queen.' He and his suite, in morning dress, walked the whole length of the reception - hall to the r a ised dias In front of the throne, preceded by the verger s of the oniver sity, in robes, with gold and sil ver wands of osce. The first address was read by Mgr. Baillargen, B;. shop of Tloa, administrator of the diocese of Que bec, who advanced to the front of the throne and was the central figure in a group of nine prelates, all attired in episcopal purple, wearing, too, their golden badges. When the administrator had read this in French, he asked the Prince to allow Bishop Horan, of Kingston, as representing the English speaking portion of the Roman Catholics, to read the translation, to which his royal highness as sented. The next address was that from the faculty of the university, who advanced in order, clad in their black gowns, relieved by scarlet edgings and fastened by scarlet tassels. It, too, was read in French and English. The Prince replied to both of these, collectively, in English only. The writer ap plied to the proper authorities for copies of the docu ment, but after being kept waiting nearly half an hour, received for a reply that for some reasons he could not obtain them. This is another instance of the stupid manner in which Quebecers throw ob stacles in the way of the press and: offend all their visitors. The longer the strangers who are here stay, the louder their complaints become. 6 , After the above ceremony the Prince was con ducted through the various rooms of the building to see the library, museum, and cabinets of various kinds, almost all of which are as yet in a very in complete state. " After 'doing' the Laval University, the Prince went to the Ursuline Convent, which was very prettily decorated—a complete arcade of evergreens leading to its entrance, and flags, with mottos tes tifying respect and affection, hanging from every part of the building. An address was here pre sented to the Prince by one of the young ladies, pupils of the nuns, who was very prettily dressed in white, and garlanded with flowers. To this ad dress, with which his Royal Highness seemed par ticularly pleased, he returned a gracious reply; and in this building the writer fortuitously met the Vicar-General Casault, who, learning the incivi lity of his inferiors in position, ordered the add i gess of the bishops and the reply to be at once placed at the disposal ;of the press, The Prince replied as follows : " ' I accept with the greatest satisfaction the welcome which you offer, and I assure you that I feel deeply the ex pression of your loyalty and affection for the Queen. " ' I rejoice to think that obedience to the laws and sub mission to authority, which form the bond of all society and the condition of all civilisation, are supported and enforced by your teaching and example. " ' The assurance that you enjoy the free exercise of your religion, and that you partake in the benefits and protection of the British Constitution, is a pledge that your hearts and those of your fellow •subjects, of whatever origin they may be, will ever be united in the feelings you have now ex pressed, of attachment to the Crown of Great Britain. " ' I acknowledge with gratitude the earnest prayer you offer to Almighty God in my behalf, and I trust that my future course may be such as will best promote the welfare of this great province and of its inhabitants. " ' To you, gentlemen, who are engaged within the walls of this building, in the education of the youth of the country, I also tender my thanks. I trust that your Uni versity may continue to prosper, and that in future years its sons may look back upon the days they have spent under your instruction with the same gratitude and sense of the benefits they have enjoyed as I and others feel towards the more ancient institutions of my own land.' " To an address from the Ursuline nuns his Royal Highness thus replied : " ' Madame,—l thank you for these expressions of kindly interest in my visit to the city of Quebec, and the personal good wishes which this address manifests. " ' Your exertions in the cause of education are well known and I trust they may long continue to exert a beneficial in fluence upon the population of this interesting country.' " After a lunch, at which the remainder of the members of Parliament were entertained, his Royal Highness proceeded to view the Citadel, and thence he returned to his Palace to dine. In the evening he was expected to visit the fireworks, of which there was a magnificent display on the Esplanade. Whether he did or not we cannot say—probably not—but at any rate there were a large number of people congregated, several hundreds of whom were on the seats which had been erected by the corpo ration. Hardly were these benches filled before they gave way, luckily not with a sudden crash, or the consequences would have been awful. As it was, several ladies were injured and several gen tlemen seriously so. A party of sailors from the fleet who happened to be on shore were of material assistance in extricating the sufferers from among and under the boards. It is very unfortunate that almost at the end of our festivities this untoward event should have occurred. " On the 23d the citizens of Quebec paid their farewell tribute of loyal regard and affection to the son of their gracious Sovereign. If the weather was inauspicious upon the occasion of the arrival of the Prince, it made ample amends in a bright, genial sun and a cloudless sky to the thousands who thronged the streets to catch a farewell glimpse of one who had, even in the short space of a few days, won his way, by his quiet, unassuming gentleness of man ner, to the hearts of his future subjects. Through out the city business was, to a great extent, sus pended; but on the line of march of the Royal party the shops were all closed. From the hour of nine, Prescott-gate-steps, Port Dauphin-street, the Grand Battery, and that portion of Buade-street facing the Royal residence were crowded with citizens in holyday costume. In front of the Parliament build ing the carriages of his Royal Highness and suite were in waiting, and the band of the Royal Cana dian Rifles were stationed on the square close to the guard-house. From Prescott- gate to the Champ lain-market Wharf the streets were lined with soldiers of the 17th Regiment. . There was a good display of bunting in the streets, and some of the house decorations appeared to have been renovated for the occasion. The civic procession, as on the occasion of the Royal arrival, proved a failure; but this can:be easily accounted for by the excitement which prevailed to catch a glimpse of the Prince on every possible occasion. The fact is, men could not be found sufficiently calmed down from the general excitement to submit to the drilling and the dull regularity of a procession. However, when the Prince left the Royal residence, a little after 10 o'clock, accompanied by his Excellency the Gover nor-General, the Duke of Newcastle, Gen. Bruce, the Earl of St. Germans, and the other members of his kite, he was accompanied by the organised pro cession, such as it was, and by citizens innumerable. The cheering along the line was most enthusiastic. voices of men wished hi m a lon g life and merrydeep one;women waved their handkerchiefs and smiled bewitchingly upon the young Prince who was such a favourite with them ; even ch ildren added their little voi ces to the general en thusiasm. The Royal carriage was surrounded by a guard of the Quebec Cavalry, whose martial appearance and well-regulated movements were the theme of gene ral praise. The approaches to the place of embar kation at the Champlain-market - wharf were guarded by the city police and the lithßegt. At the head of the slip were standing the members of the Execu tive Council, the Mayor and City Council in full dress, the police magistrate, and representatives from the different national societies. While we are on this point, we may mention that in front of the St. Andrew's Society appeared a small but well got up body of men in the ' garb of old Gaul,' with their piper playing. Arrived at the wharf his Royal Highness left his carriage, and after bow ing several times in graceful acknowledgment of the cheers of the people went on board the steamer Kingston. The scene at this point was exceedingly gay and picturesque. The moment the Prince had set foot upon the deck of the steamer a Royal salute thundered forth from the Grand Battery, the Durham - terrace , and Cape Diamond Batteries. Salutes were fired from the ships in port, all of THI SUN, LONDON THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1860, which were decked out in. their complete array of colours ; salutes were also fired from Point Levi, and the yards of the three vessels of the Royal squadron remaining in port were manned by the seamen. Just as the a ppeared on the and bowed a farewell to the assembled thouands. The steamer then passed around the Royal squad ron, going down along the south shore and return ing close to the north shore. It was not until the e nsign waving from the stern of the Kingston had disappeared around the gray fortress-crowned rock, that the thousands upon the wharves, housetops, and glacis of the ramparts gradually sought their homes." annual races, the troops were put through a variety of light infantry movements, in which officers and men have recently been undergoing instructions, and other manoeuvres, which were accomplished in a very effective manner. Yesterday a party of cavalry and infantry troops, to the number of 140 non-commissioned officers and men,belonging to the 2d (Queen's) Dragoon Guards, 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers), 7th Hussars, Bth Hussars, 12th Lancers, 17th Lancers, sth Fusi liers, 6th, 34th, 37th, 38th, 42d Royal Highlanders, 53d, 54th, 56th, 60th Rifles, 71st and 72d High landers, 82d, 88th Connaught Rangers, 90th Light Infantry, 92d Highlanders, 97th Regiment, and the Rifle Brigade, the whole of whom have recently been sent home from India suffering from wounds or sickness, left St. Mary's invalid establishment, Chatham, and proceeded to join their respective depots at Canterbury, Maidstone, York, Chichester, Perth, Aberdeen, Stirling, Winchester, and Col chester, having on inspection been found fit for fur- ther service. A numerous party of troops, consist ing of time-expired men and those suffering from wounds or sickness rendering them unfit for further service, will be discharged from St. Mary's bar racks this morning. Several of the most intelligent of the non-commis sioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers have being selected to proceed from head-quarters, Chat ham, to the South Kensington Museum, where they are to be employed in various scientific duties at that establishment. The first portion of the Royal Engineers selected for this service have proceeded to the Museum, and the remainder will leave Brompton barracks in a few days. MR. HARDY, M.P., ON THE PAST SESSION. TILE "DIAL" AND THE "STAR." Has not the public mind been somewhat uneasy of late ? There has been much to disturb it, but the feeling to which we allude is not one caused by the present critical state of affairs on the Continent, by failures and troubles at home, or by fears of an insufficient harvest. It is that peculiar restlessness which comes over a man when he knows he has some commission to execute before he goes home and yet cannot remember for the life of him what it is. The sensation that something—which we can- not name—is wanting for our comfort. What is it that is worrying us—for we are worried ? Have we lost something that once we had, or is it that we have not got something that we expected? We incline to the latter theory. What is it, then, the want of which is rendering life unendurable ? A grand opportunity would have been presented for testing the power of Mr. Home or some other noted medium," by requiring him to solve this impor tant question, if the chance perusal of an obscure newspaper had not revealed it to us. The cause of our anguish is this, " we have no daily Dial." The journal which was to regenerate mankind has not appeared. The Great National Newspaper League Company ((Limited), has failed in its troth. Where is our Dial? It would be an insult to the intelligence of the times to anticipate the ques tion, " What is our Dial?" Nevertheless, for the information of some reader who may have lately returned from a lengthened sojourn in the interior of Africa, or some equally remote region, we will answer it. The annual meeting of the Leominster Agricu tural Association was held on Monday last. The dinner, held in the afternoon, at the Royal Oak, was attended by Mr. Hardy and Captain Hanbury, the members for the borough; and Mr. King King and Mr. Mildmay, two of the county members. After the usual introductory toasts, the health of the county members was given and responded to, and was then followed by the health of the mem bers for the borough of Leominster, Mr. Hardy, and Captain Hanbury. (Cheers.) Mr. HARDY, in reply, said he could not help thinking that what his hon. friend, Mr. Mildmay, had said about the farmers and their teams on the highways might be said with great truth about the government, of which he (Mr. Mildmay) had been so strong a supporter during the session which had just closed. (Laughter and cheers,) Like a carter, the government had set out with their waggon well loaded and harnessed, thinking the road was smooth and free from obstruction, and that they could get to the end of their journey as easily and as merrily as they set out, and without so much trouble as even turning their horses' heads. But, unfortunately, the road was not so smooth and easy as they had expected ; on the contrary, it was like some of the highways which had been spoken of. When they had advanced but a short distance they found that the horses begun to flag, and that it was a task of some difficulty to proceed as rapidly as the pace with which they had set out. Like a carter, who knew nothing more than that his horses were made to go the road irrespective of weight or distance, they were surprised at the obstruction, and like him they said, " Why, these horses were made to go, and if they will not go of their own accord we shall flog them." Flog them they did, but it was of no use, and therefore they found, as the carter would do, that there was nothing for it but to lighten the waggon; they therefore began to throw overboard some of the contents with which it was loaded. Accordingly, bill after bill was pitched out—(laughter)—among others a bill which was to improve the representation of the' borough of Leominster. (Laughter and cheers.) Yes, the Reform Bill was pitched out, along with another which was to benefit the landed interest by making them bankrupts. (Laughter.) One by one the various bills were thrown out, until at length the cart was cleared of those miserable abortions which his hon. friend said they had been pulling along the Government highway for the last seven months, and done no good after they had arrived at the end of their journey. Such language as that would not become him (Mr. Hardy), be cause he had been sometimes acting the part of a drag while the Government was going down hill— (renewed laughter)—while his hon. friend had been one of the horses. (Cheers.) However,• the end of the journey had been reached, and now, or by-and-bye, they would be having one of those great political meetings, at which it might be de cided whether the drag or the horses had done most good. (Laughter.) But seriously speaking, the questions which had been before Parliament this session were questions of paramount import ance ; and although many of them had not come out in the shape of acts of Parliament, there had been a great deal done which would influence the destinies of this nation for ages to come. Changes had been made in the taxation of the country ; nhanges had likewise been made in the army and -the navy; and treaties had been made with foreign countries which would tell upon the prosperity of this country hereafter, and the operation of which would require to be carefully watched by all who were interested in our commercial successes. He was certain no one was more anxious than himself to abstain from saying anything which bore a semblance to party spirit ; but he was equally sure that in addressing a body of Englishmen on such an occasion as the present, there were foreign topics which offered subjects for remark, which were interesting to all, and upon which they were all of one mind in the main. He said this with all the more certainty, because it was clear at the close of a session during which the present Prime Mini ster had been with the greatest activity negotiating a closer alliance with France—an alliance in which they were all interested, and, so far as'regarded the entente cordiale, he was sure they all earnestly prayed that it might long continue ; but Lord Pal merston had been obliged shortly before the session closed, to admit that circumstances had occurred which rendered our former intimacy with France no longer possible, and that we should be obliged to look out for new alliances, because we could no longer depend upon former friendships. Just let them recall what had passed, in order to observe the circumstances which had thrown Europe into a state of excitement and fear. The present state of things began upon the Ist of January, 1859, when the French Emperor addressed the Austrian ambas sador in terms of such startling significancy as to throw the whole of Europe into alarm. He said— " I am not on such good terms with your master as formerly," or words to that effect. Before that the Emperor of France hadentered into an engagement with the Sardinian government, the terms of which were simply these—that he (the Emperor) would assist Sardinia in obtaining possession of Lombardy and Venetia, while France by way of return would receive Nice and Savoy. The programme which the Emperor had laid out in proceeding to a war with Austria was based upon an " idea," that idea being the freedom of Italy; but this, as was well known, was a species of dissemblement, the Emperor's idea being not Italian freedom but his own aggrandise ment, -which he had succeeded in carryin 0 out by obtaining the provinces for which he bargained with Sardinia—even Savoy and Nice. Since the conclusion of the war with France and Austria all confidence in the Emperor Napoleon had been lost. Europe could not now trust to his promises, for it was feit, and felt very naturally, that as he had ventured upon a career of aggrandisement which obtained him provinces in the south of the Rhine, he might enter upon a similar career to obtain pro vinces in the north. When they found an Emperor who began a war for an " idea, that idea being os tensibly Italian freedom and ending it by territorial aggrandisement, it was essential that there should be distrust among the powers of Europe, and, therefore, he (Mr. Hardy) rejoiced that we could enter into diplomatic relations with other countries without involving us in any peril whenever anything should happen with a par ticular country, (Hear, hear.) It seemed to him that this country should be on terms of friendly alliance with all powers upon the principle of nos - intervention ; sympathising, for instance, in the success of the struggle for liberty in Italy, but leaving it to the patriots to choose whatever go vernment they thought proper, and interesting our selves, as far as possible, to secure to them, without prejudice to other powers, the liberty of settling their own affairs. (Hear, and applause.) His hon. friend (Mr. Mildmay) had spoken of the enormous expense which our establishments now cost us. Certainly the expense was enormous, but then they were engaged in proceedings which demanded, if they were to be carried out, an enormous expendi ture of money; and nothing could be clearer than this, that the members of the House of Commons expressed the unanimous feeling of the country when they said it was necessary for the safety of the country—for the purpose of placing ourselves in the best possible condition for any exigency—to prepare for whatever should occur, and even for the extension of the wars we were now engaged in. For these and other purposes it was necessary to vote these lei ge sums of money, and place our navy on a footing in which every advantage could be taken of all the appliances of art and science as lately developed, and generally to increase our armament; and therefore it was that our expendi ture was enormous. We were now three times as powerful as we were at the beginning of the cen- The " Dial scheme"—as it was popularly called was to establish a daily newspaper fo compete with the Times. It was suggested that the Thunderer of Printing-house-square was not the most conscien tious of thunderers—that he was sometimes very irreverent in treating of Church matters, and ad mitted naughty subjects into his pages. Therefore he was to fall, and a joint-stock company was to rule in his stead. The new paper was to be founded upon highly moral and substantial prin ciples. Its shares we-e to be £lO each, and not a paper was to be issued until 20,000 names hadbeen enrolled upon its books. After an active canvass of about six years' duration in every town of any con sideration in the kingdom, 9,000 shareholders were obtained, and a capital of £2 a share has been paid up. It must be confessed that the scheme hung fire, although no pains and expense were spared in lecturing upon it in athenaeums, mechanics' insti tutes, and schoolrooms all over the country, an d advertising it in the newspapers. At last the endu rance of the shareholders came to an end: They implored their directors to expunge the stern reso lution which denied them their Dial till the num ber of its patrons had been more than doubled, and the directors melted. There were not funds enough for a daily paper, so a weekly was started, and the Dial appeared bearing under its title the announce ment that it was " once a week for the present." We live in a wonderful age !—an age of untiring enterprise, of brilliant successes, and disastrous failures. We must not lightly declare any scheme to be impossible, however extravagant it may at first sight appear. We must not be discouraged should disaster overtake the project which we had considered the most certain to be crowned with success. Alas !is not this world, with all its splen dours, but.a vale of uncertainty and of tears ? Our readers will, in all probability, have read something very much like this before. The experienced amongst them will guess what is coming. It is, we believe, the correct form of heralding a great calamity. It corresponds to the slow and mournful music which is heard on the stage to prepare the minds of the audience for the discovery of the dying hero, or the entry of the demented heroine in book muslin and straws, with her back hair down. A heavy blow and sore discouragement has fallen upon us. A bright ray of hope that we have watched from afar, and fondly hoped was soon about to dilate into a glorious orb to brighten our path in life has sud denly been quenched. Is the reader quite ready for the heartrending announcement ? Well, then, here goes. Hung be the heavens with black. Gentle men of the orchestra play up your most solemn dirge. Silence pit and gallery! The Dial is done up ! Society was on the point of being entirely regenerated, but now it must go on in its old wicked ways. The Great National Newspaper League Company (Limited) is in a bad way, and the Thames is as far off ignition as ever. What is to be done ? Out upon it that the want of a few pounds of that miserable yellow clay which men lavish every hour upon frivolity and vice, should cripple so great a work ! But it is so. We were promised a Dial daily, but inexorable Fate denies it to us ; and the weekly Dial that we had—the dear gazette which, had we ever known it, we might have learned to love so well—has been driven off into the office of the Morning Star. Yes ! the Dial is to be incorporated with the Morning Star. it is purely a ntarriage de conve nance, we are afraid. The Morning Star, we are assured at the extraordinary meeting of the share holders in the National Newspaper League Com pany, at which they decreed the amalgamation, did not seek the Dial. It was the coy and blush ing bride, selected for its many virtues by that ardent wooer, out of the whole daily press of the metropolis. The interesting couple are to begin housekeeping upon a capital of £35,000, towards which the happy bridegroom is to contribute half, but upon conditions. The marriage settlements are to be so framed that he is always to have a finger in the household pie. Tite bride is to assume her husband's name, and to become in spirit one with him—" become," says the Rev. David Thomas, the Chairman of the Directors of the National Newspaper League Company, " all that we would 1 if we started a journal indepen dently." The poor Star is to set for ever in the Dial. "We will not sell ourselves," continues the reverend chairman, " to any man or to any party in Church or State ;" therefore, they select the a tar, which everybody knows to be perhaps the most " party" paper in circulation. What a change is in prospect for her ! The bridegroom has been over her premises, and has taken stock. He expresses himself well satisfied with the machinery and plant, but she is not to be allowed to work it as she pleases after marriage. No! The Rev. David Thomas does not—as he informed the meeting— ." believe in the irresponsible w e ." H e suppor t s " the representative principle in journalism." This is to him " one of the characteristics and one of the charms of the enterprise." He 'must be guaranteed before he joins any paper " that the shareholders shall have a healthy control over it." Fancy a newspaper edited by a board of directors ! Imagine the indignation of rejected contributors at the annual meeting ! The directors who followed their chairman at the meeting before mentioned, spoke like men who would not be dictated to. Some of them threatened that they would write in the new paper. We really are sorry for the Star. Such a bride as the Dial would select was not only to be free from party bias and obedient, but also in a " healthy commercial condition." What paper could fulfil all these conditions so well as the Star—especially the last? Healthy commercial condition ! Why there are a dozen daily and weekly papers that lose hundreds per annum more than the Star, and the dowry it will receive on its union with the Dial will, if prudently expended, keep it for at least four years independent of its friends. Surely everyone ought to be satisfied. The Rev. David Thomas can hang up his hat in the office of a recognised newspaper, and the Morning Star handles £17,500 hard cash, It may be that the union has taken place on homoeopathic prin ciples. Like cures like according to this practice. If a man has a headache you give him a drug which if he had not that disorder would give it to him; and so he is cured. The star being a sufferer from chronic failure, takes what would swamp any successful journal. It swallows the Rev. David Thomas and the Dial. We hope they will agree with it. All this is, of course, dictated by petty spite. We are jealous of the ,Star. We are terribly afraid of the Dial. Our conduct is so bad, that we dare not offer one word of explanation upon it. This much, however, we will say; we know something of the dangers and cares of newspaper proprietorship; and we do not like to see people going about the country getting poor people to invest their savings in such chimerical schemes as that of the Dial. We do not like to find so many clergymen mixed up in this questionable speculation. The total tury ; but so long as it was considered necessary— departure from its original scheme is suspicious, to indispensable indeed—to increase our armaments to say the least of it. Was not the a eekly Dial an the extent all parties considered requisite, he was utter failure ? Th e pro j ec t h as h a d a tr i a l for sure no Englishman would grumble at th e expense, thirty-five weeks, and it does not pay, People will but would willingly bear his share of the burden of buy the newspaper, and decline to take shares in making this country safe against any foreign inva- the company.

(Cheers.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Sept. 5. MANSION-HOUSE.--Mr. George Russell, a ship-broker in Fenchurch-street, appeared before Mr. Alderman Hale, upon a summons on which he was charged with an assault upon a young man named William Griffin. Mr. Buchanan appeared to support the complaint. Mr. Wontner attended for the defendant. This case occasioned a good deal of laughter in the court. It appeared that the complainant was in the service of Mr. Bradshaw, a hosier in Cheap side, and that Mr. Russell had ordered him to make some shirts, and one was sent for a sample, but it did not suit, and was sent back to be altered. There appeared to have been some little dis agreement in reference to this shirt, and on the 30th of August the complainant was sent by his master to Mr. Russell's offices With the bill. According to his evidence he had no sooner set his foot into Mr. Russell's office than one of his clerks, a young gen tleman named Irwin, told him " to come out of that directly ;" and he was told that if he did not go out he would be kicked out. He replied that there was no necessity for kicking him out, as he was willing to go quietly ; and he represented that upon his saying this, Mr. Russell rushed from his desk, seized him by the shoulders, and with con siderable violence " bundled" him into the street. During the scuffle he dropped a parcel he had with him, and his hat fell off his head, and he stated that he saw Mr. Russell pick up the hat, and, treating it as he would a fo o tb a ll, kicked it out into the street after him. The complainant, in answer to questions put by Mr. Wontner, denied that there was any under standing that the shirts were to be paid for until Mr. Russell had had an opportunity of seeing whe ther they fitted or not, and he also denied that he was told to leave the office and that he refused to do so, Mr. Wontner, on behalf of the defendant, de scribed the proceeding as a trumpery affair, that ought never to have been brought into a court of justice, and he called one of the defendant's clerks, who proved that the complainant was repeatedly requested to leave t ,the office, and he declared that he would not do so, and was very uncivil, and that the defendant was at length obliged to turn him out, but no more violence was used than was abso lutely necessary to effect that object. With regard to the hat it was stated that all that occurred was that it fell off and it was thrown out into the street after him. Alderman Hale dismissed the summons, B OW- S TREET.—Miss Sarah Ann Pickard, watch dealer, Hatton-garden, appeared before Mr. Henry, on a summons obtained at the instance of the Com missioners of Inland Revenue, to answer the charge of having wilfully and knowingly used a forged de claration in a business transaction appertaining to the Customs. There was a second summons charg ing the act of forgery, but this was abandoned by the Crown, on the failure of the evidence to support the case. This was understood to be the first prosecution under the recent treaty with France. Mr. Weymouth, solicitor for the defendant, took some preliminary objections to the form of proceed ing, on legal grounds, but they were not allowed. Mr. Beverley, one of the solicitors for the Crown, drew the attention of the Court to the particular section of the Customs Act under which the present charge was instituted, and then proceeded to state that their object was to protect the English trade from the practice pursued by certain dealers of im porting into this country watches of foreign manu facture bearing the names of well-known Englicsh makers, which had been engraved upon them abroad. These were sold in England for British watches, at a price greatly beyond their value, and thus a fraud was perpetrated on the public, which the Commis sioners of Inland Revenue felt it their duty to pre vent as far as possible. In the present instance there had been no attempt to evade the Customs duty, for under the new treaty all watches, both of English and foreign manufacture, were admitted into this country free of duty—an exemption for merly conceded to English watches only. By the regulations of the Excise, which they were ern .. ., powered by the act of Parliament to enforce, it was an offence to make or use any false declaration or instrument in a business matter, which rendered the offender liable to a penalty of £lOO and it was that penalty which they now sought to recover. Mr. John Alexander, second clerk at the police court, Clerkenwell, proved that the form of declara tion now produced was made on the 6th of June last, in his presence, and signed by Mr. R. P. Tsr whitt, the magistrate. The person who made the declaration signed the name of " Moses Tobia s ," land declared to the truth of the allegation in the usual form. The Mr. Tobias now present is not the person who signed the declaration. Mr. John Wilson, Excise agent, of 12, Harp-lane, Thames-street, deposed that about the end of May last a case of watches was imported by the ship Albion from Boulogne, in reference to which wit ness received the bill of lading from defendant. It was signed at the back by defendant, who gave him instructions to clear the case and send it home. Subsequently the goods were detained, and witness called on defendant in Hatton-garden ; where she occupied a private house, having her name on the door-plate. Witness told her that the watches had been detained because some of them bore the name of Tobias, an English maker, engraved upon them, which made it necessary that Mr. Tobias should sign a declaration that the watches were imported by him, or by his sanction and authority, and for his trade. Witness promised to send her the usual form of declaration made in such cases, .and he re ceived a letter from her a day or two afterwards, which he had since lost, but of which he possessed an accurate copy made by himself. The copy, on the objection of defendant's soli citor, was not produced. The defendant's signature on the bill of lading was proved by another agent, and Mr. Beck de posed to having filled up the form of declaration under Mr. Wilson's instructions. It was the same now produced, Mr. Michael Tobias examined—l reside in Sun street, Waltham Abbey, andeam a watchmaker and jeweller. I know the defendant, Miss Pickard. I knew her first about the Bth of March last, when I saw her on business and gave her my card, the same as now produced by the witness Wilson, in case she should have to refer to me. I know nothing of the declaration produced. No part of it is in my handwriting, and I never authorised it to be made. There is no other person of my name at Waltham Abbey. I believe there used to be and still may be a firm of that name at Liverpool in our trade. About five or six weeks ago the defendant called on me, and I said to her, " You have got me into a fine trouble," and she replied, " I am very sorry. All I know is that I gave your card to the agent, and what he did with it I cannot say." I said, " He ought to be transported fbr forging my name." She made no reply to this. Cross-examined.—l know the card produced is the one I gave her, because I wrote on the back of it. Wm. Peyton, an officer of Customs, deposed that the case of watches was imported on the 17th of May, and contained 42 gold watches, 108 silver ditto, and 36 metal watches, the present charge having relation to the latter only. Two of the metal - watches were now produced. The name of " M. T. Tobias," with a description in English was engraved upon them, and a word underneath, which he believed to have been " Liverpool," had been obliterated. They were both foreign watches. Cross-examined—There was no duty on any watches passing through the Customs in May last I infer that the word obliterated is " Liverpool" from an examination of all the metal watches, where all the different letters of the word are more or less perceptible. Mr. Weymouth—ls it not a well-known practice, even by first-rate houses, to import foreign watches with English names upon them ? - Witness—lt is not the practice of " first-rate" houses to do so, but I know it is extensively done. We always seize the watches when we find it out. It was stated that the watches produced were worth 16s. each, and would sell at about £3 each. (as English make) Mr. Weymouth addressed the Court for the de fendant, urging that if any fraud had been prac tised his client was perfectly unconscious of it. Sh e had no motive in making or using a false declara tion, and it might b e that some one had done it for her without her knowledge. He contended also that the charge was not fully supported by the evidence, which failed to show that the declaration was a forgery, If, however, the Court thought the case had been established, he trusted that his worship would exercise the power he possessed of mitigating the penalty to one-fourth. Mr. Henry—l think it has been abundantly proved that the defendant " used" this counterfeit declaration, which she sent, with a card which Mr- Tobias gave her for a very diffment purpose to the witness, Mr. Wilson ; and, so far from there being any mitigating circumstances in the case, I am of opinion that the Commissioners have acted very leniently in the matter. The offence committed is an indictable one, an d the defendan t might have been required to answer this charge before a jury. it is of the greatest • importance to the public, and THE NAVY. A letter dated Valetta, Sept. 1, says : " Her Majesty's ship Orion, Capt. J. Frere, left port yes teriay afternoon, and, with the Queen, is still sailing in sight of the island. The frigate Melpomene and the cot.. vette Greykound are under sailing orders, the former for Corfu and the latter for Beyrout. It is reported, says a Malta paper, that the Marlborough, now at Beyrout, will be relieved by the jlannibal, and that the Marlborough will take the place of the Hannibal at Naples. " Her Majesty's ships of war in port are the St. Jean d' Acre and the James Watt liners ; the Melpomene frigate ; the Greyhound corvette; the Boner gunboat; the Caradoc despatch boat; the Hibernia receiving-ship (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8.) ; and the Hearty tug. " The French steam-frigate Asmodse returned from Bey. rout to-day on her way to Toulon. "The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Mas silia arrived last night from Marseilles with the overland portion of the outward Calcutta, China, and Australian mails, and proceeded on to Alexandria after coaling. The Indus, of the same company, arrived the same morning from Alexandria with the heavy portion of the homeward, Bom bay, and Mauritius mails, and left a few hours afterwards for Gibraltar and Southampton. " The Russian frigate Grand Admiral, which has been staying in our port for the last two or three days, resumed her voyage to-day for Beyrout. She is a very fine ship, and, although rated only as a frigate, is said to be larger by 1,000 tons than our line-of-battle ship the Marlborough. During her stay here she was visited by a good many naval and military officers and civilians. Yesterday Rear-Admi ral Codrington paid her a visit and received a . slute due to his rank, which salute was re turned by the H a ibernia, his flagship." The Immortalite, 51, screw frigate, made her offi cial trial of speed yesterday at Portsmouth. The frigate left the steam basin at 1.30 p.m., in charge of Capt. G. T. Gordon, commanding the steam re serve at the port, and steamed out of harbour for the trial ground in Stokes Bay. Messrs. Murray and Murdock, the chiefs of the dockyard ashore and afloat in the engineering department, were on board to superintend the trial on behalf of the Govern ment, while Mr. Warrener represented the contrac tors of the machinery, Messrs. Maudslay, Field, and Sons. The Immortalite has had her bow length ened by 16 feet, with the purpose, as stated by Sir J. Pakington when First Lord, of ascertaining what additional speed ships of war would gain by a longer bow and finer lines forward. Unfortunately, old principles could not be set aside altogether even in this instance, and the ship has now the same im mense overhanging weight •of bowsprit, &c., out side her cutwater as before her alteration, and, what is more preposterous still, her catheads with her anchors and foremast have been carried as much further forward as the ship has been lengthened. The Immortalite is of 600 nominal horse-power, but the engines have been constructed since 1855. They yesterday worked beautifully, and showed but very little variation in their revolutions. Under full steam, with little vibration, the ship appeared to part the water in a cleaner manner than usual forward, raising but little sea under the bows ; but she exhibited a great tendency to depress her bows in the water. Her steering qualities were very good indeed. Six runs were made at the mile, the ship drawing 21 feet forward and 21 feet 10 inches aft. The screw was Maudslay's adaptation of the com mon or Admiralty screw to their shifting blades, with the leading corners cut off. The average of the six runs gave a speed in knots of 12.533 ; revo lutions of engines, 55; pressure of steam, 20; vacuum, 23. There was a total absence of hot bearings, and no machinery could have worked more evenly and satisfactorily. The screw steamship St. George, 91, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, from Holyhead, arrived at Ply mouth on Tuesday. The sailing line-of-battle ship Boscawen, 70, Capt. Richard A. Powell, C. 8., bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Frederick Grey, K.C.8., arrived in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday night. She left the Cape of Good Hope July 7, St. Helena July 22, and Ascension July 30. She has experi enced fine weather all the voyage, and has passen gers Lady Grey and Mr. Bewicke and son. The Boscawen was put in commission on the Ist April, 1857, and has been constantly engaged as flagship at the Cape. She will go into Hamoaze, where her crew will be paid off. She spoke and signalised, July 7, off the Cape of Good Hope, the Clara, from Simon's Bay for England, with the 84th Regiment, and an English ship, 3d distinguishing pendant 4,786; on the 16th, a barque, 3d distinguishing pendant '2,160 ; on the 26th, the barque Philo ; August 7, the ship Star of the North, from Foo chow-foo, 91 days, for England; on the Bth, the ship Sir Robert Sale, from London, 24 days, for Madras, and an American ship, 3d distinguishing pendant 3,195 ; on the 10th the barque Wentworth, from London for Calcutta; on the 11th, the barque Warrior; on the 13th, the barque Thebes, 105 days from Cochin for London ; on the 20th, the barque Victoria, of London ; on the 27th, a brig, 3d dis tinguishing pendant 5,379; on the 28th, the ship Castle Eden, from Moulmein ; and September 1, a ship, 3d distinguishing pendant 720. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty:—H. Brown, Ist class assist.- engineer, in lieu of a chief, to the Spiteful ; W. D. Beaton, Ist class assist.-engineer, to the Ariel; W. Donnison, acting Ist class assist.-engineer, to the Foxhound ; S. Swan, 2d class assist.-engineer, to the Lan drail ; J.

The following circular, numbered 620, has been issued from the War-office for the guidance of officers connected with the Military Stores Depart ment : " Instances having occurred in which barrels of ball car tridges have been issued without percussion caps, Mr. Secre tary Herbert has decided that in future, when ball cartridges are issued for practice, the proportion of 110 caps per 100 cartridges shall be retained in each barrel, instead of, as at present, taking the whole number of surplus caps from one or more barrels. The barrels are to be marked with the letter P' before issue, in order to show that the ammuni tion is for practice. Military store officers must be careful to adopt this course for the future. 4‘ J. CRAWFORD CAFFIN." The Magtera screw transport, Commander Hen derson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday with mill ' tary and naval invalids from Malta and Gibraltar. On the 31st ult., off the Rock of Lisbon, spoke her Majesty's ship Himalaya. Every opportunity afforded by the recent fine weather has been taken advantage of by Major- Gen. Eyre, the Commandant at Chatham, for bri gading the that garrison on the Lines, and field days aretroops of held at frequent intervals. Yes terday the entire force of the garrison , including the Ist, 2d, and 3 d battalions, composed of the East India depots, the 901 1 38 of Royal and Indian Engineers, and the division of Loyal Marine Light Infantry, together numbering nearly 5,000 bayonets, were drawn up on the Lines, in heavy marching order, for the purpose of going through the evolu tions of a field day. On the arrival of the General and his staff the troops presented arms, and after instituting an inspection of the companies General Eyre took the command, and notwithstanding the somewhat circumscribed space of the ground, owing ato a portion of the Lines being set apart for the to all honest dealers in the trade, that the practice referred to, of importing inferior watches of foreign make, and selling them for English ones, should be put a stop to, and the Board of Excise is entitled to thanks for having taken up the matter. I must inflict the full penalty of £lOO, with costs. The fine was immediately paid, with £3 costs. CLERKENWELL.— ABOVE FIFTY CASES AGAINST ONE PRISONER. —Allll S wathin was charged with stealing umbrellas under the ing circumstances : The prisoner has been in the habit of calling at gentlemen's houses, and stating that she had been sent to see the mistress, who wis.:ned to engage a cook for a friend. While tli servant went to see if the statement was correct, the prisoner would steal the umbrellas n the hall and walk off. The prisoner was identified by several servants as the person who had stolen umbrellas from the hall, and Inspector Cotter stated that there were more than fifty cases 'against the prisoner. When the prisoner was taken into custody she had seven umbrellas in her possession, some of which were round her crinoline. Owing to the publicity given to the case owners had been found for two of the umbrellas. The others can be seen at the Islington police-station. The prisoner, who treated the matter with the greatest indifference, made no defence, but said she would like the case settled at once. Sergeant Convey, 16 S, said the prisoner had been several times convicted of stealing umbrellas—once. for twelve months, and, on the last occasion, she had four years' penal servitude. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. —A powerfully built young fellow, well known to the police as one of "the terrors of Golden-lane," who gave the name of Thomas Page, alias Clive, was charged with the following daring highway robbery. This morning, shortly after 12 o'clock, an elderly man and his daughter were passing the end of Hartshorn -court, when. two women, well known prostitutes and thieves, got in front of them, and would not allow them to pass. The prisoner then came up, and having seized hold of the female and pushed her violently against the wall, got hold of the old man, and giving him a shaking, took a purse containing £1 15s. from his pocket, and passing it to one of his female confederates, they all made off. Information was given to the police, and the pri soner was apprehended by police-constable Dilling, 98 G, who told him the charge, when the prisoner said, "If he got lagged for it, it was not through himself." The prisoner has before been in custody for felony, is the constant associate of the worst of characters, and cohabits with a prostitute and con victed thief. One of the witnesses was now ill from the prisoner's violence. The prisoner, who at first said he was " as inno cent as a babe unborn," afterwards said that both the prosecutor and his witness were drunk at the time, but he should reserve his defence. Mr. Mansfield fully committed the prisoner to the sessions for trial. COUNTRY MARKETS. SHEFFIELD—SEPT. 5. • At to-day's market the supply of wheat 'was small, other grain in moderate quantity.
