'nation, and wo may now appreciate the changes wrought by time when we read of tho story of Dr. Sydenham's silver tankard being taken from a window, the thief being lost among the bushes of Praod-street, "the thief no doubt regaling at his pot hick." "Legislators going to Dinner" contains an entertaining account of the difficulties which attend the work of a cook at the House of Commons, who never knows how many will sit down to his provisions, and indeed may have sixteen when he thought a hundred and fifty were coming. " A Tale of St. Martin's-le-Gland" is a ludicrous sketch of the miseries of one who thus de scribes himself— " When SOIII3 do wrong and some do right, 1 quill-drive for my betters ; St. Martin's sees from morn till night No poorer man of letters." " The Cruise of the Aphrodite" is a chronicle of very stir ring adventures, which it is well worth while to peruse. THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—The most conspi cuous feature in this number of the St. James's is, of course, the continuation of Miss Braddon's novel of " The Lady's Mile," now rapidly approaching its conclusion. The chapters before us are very excit ing, coming, as they do, to the crisis of Lady Cecil's life. The sudden and unlooked-for appearance of her husband before the scene, when sho and Major Gordon aro planning their wicked flight, is very forcibly told ; and .Mr. O'Boyneville, not too romantic a character, appears to unusual advantage in the passage where he tells his own and his wife's story in disguise. Cecil's history may be now said to be ended, but the fortunes of Florence Cran ford remain to be told in the next number. "Out of Charity" is continued. It is an original and singular story, turning upon the unknown parentage o f a y oung lady, and the perplexities and annoyances that result therefrom. "Concerning Beds and Bedsteads" is a paper made up of old curiosities and anecdotes relating to won derfulaesa or p g page n from s beds ne o and e in bedsteads. est p a t h " e S t t l e i n e d h A a puttehrosr of kf ' literary story, and there are other papers of va r y in g interest. t i angiou fth MACMILLAN'S MAGAZINE.—" The Campaign in Italy" supplies the subject of the first article, and being written in Italy itself will be read with some interest. Henry Kingsley's genial and extravagant but original story of " Silcote of Silcotes " proceeds to the ninth chapter, leaving the reader none the less perplexed by the number and the eccentricities of the dramatis persona?, that he has several explanatory chapters doled out to him. The other story " Cradock Nowell" is much of the some kindred in extravagance of style and originality of design. It is brought to a sudden termina tion, in which the stain of fratricide is altogether removed from Cradock's name, and justice is meted out, though somewhat imperfectly, among the remaining actors. An essay on George Eliot's novels pays duo honour to the marvellous ability of the writer of Adam Bede, and the critic very happily, in conclusion, points out the difference between a natural and an artificial style. " I have only to notice one thing more, and that is how thoroughly these novels show to people who write, that style is not the result of reading, but of thinking. It is not the assiduous culti vation of a style as such, but the cultivation of the intel lect and feelings which produces good writing. Style comes of brooding over ideas, not over words." This is a truth which authors would do well to remember. THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.—The question of the extension of the franchise to the female sex is one which we might naturally expect to find discussed in this magazine, and, accordingly, the first article which meets us is on the "Conflicting Opinions on the franchise for women." "The civil and political status of the female sex " is continued, and brings down the narra tive to the fourth part of the feudal epoch—giving us an account of the law of inheritance and marriage in the countries which continued to use the Roman law. The story of " Colonel Rannoch" proceeds, and there aro papers on Magyar rural life and the neighbourhood of Worthing. An essay on the nature and treatment of cholera will at tract attention just now from the importance of tho sub ject, and the prospects of the Female Medical Society are considered at length. Tits ARGOSY.—Charles Reade's story of " Grif fith Gaunt'! continues more dramatically than agreeably, and chronidessome terrible and startling events. Miss Parkes contributes a pleasant paper on "Au Ohl French City," which is nicely illustrated. The author of " Shirley IIall" shows us in his usual vigorous fashion ttn unu inity bUIIIMIIIIVS nu tue rum Or a man. Arminius Vaubety conducts us from Teheran to Trebizond, and Mr. llaweis tells us the never weat:somo story of Garibaldi's eventful career. Some graceful verses are among the remaining contents. THE ECLECTIC.—SeveraI interesting books are discussed in this number, chief among them being Mr. Baker's Nile journey and Miss Rossetti's poems. The life of Sir Thomas Browne, of famous renown, affords also the subject of a well written paper, though we are sorry to learn from it that this loarued and honoured author appeared as a witness against two miserable old women burnt as witches in 1665. THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE.—Many interesting papers are in this number, which, like its prede cessors, is boldly and unmistakeably religious in its scope and character. There is one paper which, however, may very well be read with profit by those who would refuse to be guided by direct advice : it is en titled, Found among the Papers of a Young Man," and records very simply how the writer turned over the memo randa of a wealthy young man with whose affairs he had been concerned. He remembered several instances in THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. In these days of suburban villas gardening has grown to be a fashionable amusement, even for dwellers in towns, and therefore a garden guide may find plenty of subscribers in L)ndon itself. It treats in the number before us of the cultivation of roses and lilies, of strawberries and lettuces, besides discussing new plants and exotic aquatics, and treating of plants with the alarming titles of the Peutoemon and the Phlox. Tho news of the month and the answers to correspondents occupy their usual places. which the young man had refused to relieve persons suf fering from a heavy calamity, to assist the son of an old dependant in entering business, to help the education of a deserving young connexion, &c. On turning to his papers for those dates, he found tho refusals explained by tobac conists' and wine merchants' bills, and loans to worthless boon companions. "Bear and Forbear, a pair of Buffers for Universal Use," is, as may bo guessed from its title, a shrewd and sensible article. "A Visit to Mario, a French Heroine," gives us an interesting account of what one poor French girl was able to achieve in the course of a chequered life. Many other papers and sketches will at tract and instruct the reader. TILE DAY OF REST.—" The Path of Thorns" is continued, and a dreary sketch is given of the poor heroine's adventures. Her wedding was a most rough affair, and all shows the dangers and diffi culties into which people plunge themselves when they enter upon a course of deceit. " Night Nursing in a Lunatic Asylum" reveals a dreadful picture of the miseries to which those are subjected who wait upon those afflicted with the worst of the thousand ills to which flesh is heir. The full extent of the respon sibility and exertion cannot be comprehended until the reader realises the fact that the care and attention cannot be relaxed by night any more than by day. " Pencillings in Suburban Cometeties" contains a description of High gate Cemetery, which is very interesting. "A Gar land of Poetry and Flowers" is a pleasing sketch, and it is remarked that "a love of flowers is natural to all; the Almighty in his infinite wisdom has ordained man for the cultivation of the earth, and thus it is that we are in a manner born gardeners, and our earliest inclinations load us to the culture of flowers." " Old Izaak Walton" is an an instructive sketch, and a variety of other matters in prose and verse contribute to the filling up of the contents of this little serial. GOOD WORDS.—The attractions of Good Words for readers of all classes continue undiminished, and the number before us has several excellent papers. "How can we best relieve our Deserving Poor ?" is a question which each of us may well put to himself in these days of sickness and its accompanying distress. " More about Shetland and the Shetlanders" contains interesting reading, and the same may be said of a paper on " Curious Forms of Fruits," by the curator of the Royal Museum at Kew. Mrs. Oliphant's story of domestic life continues, and " Light in the Desert" is a very able o sketch, teaching an immortal tru th b y illustration. Two or three pleasant and though tful verses are scattered through the number. THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE' directed is bill of fare for the reader in this part, ,ddii,7,cted chiefly to the tastes of those who sock for light , re; BOV'S MONTHLY THE 1301'S OWN MAG AZI NE --IHE AfAGAZINE. TheSe two little serials continue iu their usual strain, full of adventure, history, and romance, with all the array of puzzles, charades, and enigmas in separable from an attractive juvenile miscellany. THE TRITE IfisTORY OF A LITTLE RAGAMUFFIN.-- The little ragamuffin's troubled life proc ee d s through direful vicissitudes. He has a narrow escape of death from fever, succeeds in eluding the vigilance of the workhouse authorities, and contrives to survive meetinr , his infuriated father in a publichouse. Those who smile over l►is troubles may pause when they lay down the story to think how many little lives there aro whose facts are oven darker than this picture. THE INTELLECT UAL OBSERVER.—The fifty-fifth number has for its frontispiece a beautiful coloured plate of a scene in Algeria illustrating a paper on Algeria as a winter residence. The contents are, as usual, full of scientific discussions and curious informa tion, and the various topics to which the attention of the learned world has been recently directed receive duo notice.

ADMIRALTY, AUGUST 1, 1866. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD- A_ MIRALTY Dereby give Notice, that the AR KANGEMENTS for the ADMISSION of PERSONS not already in the Government service to the -ROYAL SCHOOL. of NAVAL ARCHITECTURE and MARINE ENGINEERING as Admiralty Pupils will, for the present year, be as follows : " Candidates must be not less than 18 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuild ing or engineerineestablishments, or must givo-sattAtae tory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering operations as to become well grounded in the elementary principles and practice thereof. The Pupils will be selected by Competitive Examina tion, the subjects for which, and number of marks assigned for each, aro as follows : Marks. Pure Mathematics, including arithibetic, mensura: - tion, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane tri • gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics ... 1,000 Practical Shipbuilding, including laying off (for shipwright's candidates only) ... 2,500 Practical Marine Engineering (for engin eer candi dates only) ••• ••• ••• ••• ... 2,500 French ... ••• ••• •-• ... 500 Elements of Physics and Chymistry... 750 English Grammar and Composition 7 50 Geography and History No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the fall number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils ; they will receive wages the same as dockyard apprentices, commencing at ls. 6d. per day for six days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. por day till it reaches 2s. per day, and in addition a subsistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the School or iu the Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from N ovem b er till May, will be devoted to study at the school, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the Dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Ad miralty, not later than the Ist September. The Candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as Engineers or Shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 25th September, and three following days. By command of their Lordships, HENRY GORDON LENNOX. PRINTING. --TO PROPRIETORS OF NEWSPAPERS, PERIODICALS, &c.—The Print ing and Machining of Newspapers, &c., done on exceed ingly favourable terms.

Address—The Manager "Sun" Printing Offices, 3, Church row, Savoy, Strand, W.C. DUBLIN.—" Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra" is the title of an interesting article that presents us with an account of the life:of, that celebrated man, which will be agreeable to the reader to peruse. It is here said that in our "meditations of the charac teristics of the author and man in Cervantes, we have always mentally associated him with Shakspere and Sir Walter Scott. We find in all the same versatility of genius, and the same grasp of and breadth of intcllect, the same gifts of genial humour, and the same largeness of sympathy. The life of Cervantes will be always an in teresting and edifying study in connection with the litera ture of the great events of his time." "Cowardice and Courage " is another of those sketches which affords us such a good exemplification of the great difference that exists in men as to disposition, ha'sits, Ste. Many of the anecdotes are very interesting, and illustrate the meaning of what is said better than any description could possibly do. " Timbuctoo" is one of those papers on foreign coun tries which convey a great deal to one's mind. It is an in teresting task to follow the writer of these pages,' and trace the ,varying ways in which those regions have been described by different authors at different times. "Num ber Five, Brooke -street" is continued in its usual myste rious manner, and we hy;sto to follow the adventures of the wily heroine. " Cometh up as a Flower" is also proceeded with, and is entertaining in its variety of descriptions, and the little heroine is very attractively sketched. "Never for Ever" is the title of a now story that is begun, and promises to be very entertaining in its way. " The His tory of the Irish Church" is the political article met with. It contains a defence of that institution, and is written with much earnestness and eloquence. " Iphis," by Mor timer Collins, is a very complicated sketch in verso, that forms an agreeable contrast to the prose selections met with. " The Campaign of the Boyne" alludes to mon that will over be memos - able in the history of Ireland, and aro well worthy of notice, notwithstanding the very different ago in which we live. FRA S _ER.—Fraser d a dresses itself in this number chiefly to the tastes of those who like solid reading, its for, truth to tell,contents are somewhat weighty. Many of the articles are excellent, but a little more variety in the list would have been acceptable. A lengthened and well-written criticism of Dean Stanley's Jewish History is the first paper, and it gives a fair impression of th e Scope and object of the work. Cap tain Burton's lette r describing his adventures between London and Rio de Janeiro are continued, and the instal ment is one of the most Gorman items in the number. E s says on the Order of the time of the Crusades, and Knights, instituted in on the Brahmo Samaj, a new R The i n doo Church, follow. latter discusses the whole question of religion in Indi r a, e v t ery fully, if not altogether great i mpar tially. The three questions of the day, the Financ i a l Crisis, the Change ° Ministry, and the Con tinental War, form the subjects o f after f three different papers. Th e writer on the panic, y market examining into the situation of affairs in the moue during the last year or two, arrives at the conclusion th a t a total repeal of the act of 1844 is the b est remed y tha t can be applied to the de fects of our financ ial s y stem. Thisconviction is rapidly gaining groun d amon g practical men, for who can fail to Imbue s e e that an act w hich breaks down three times within twen ty years is unequ al to the requirements? The paper on "The M inistr y —Last an d Present" takes us all under o ver the old grou nd of the debates of the Session, and is prepar ing us for every catastro phe the sun now that Whig and Tory have changed pl aces. The article o n the war cannot tell us anything now, but it puts a nov el construction— at least novel for an English writer —on the victory Prus sians, which it traces to the sound of the judgment of King William and Count Bismarck, it in spite of all the senseless clamour and false liberalism , of e Prussian . . . The King was willing to stake his Chambers. u fa i l t s i o .l . n and shallow com promise crown, bit ho never for one moment entertained a promise with either Democrats or iontancs, and he has his reward." The reward, it i s v ` possible, when the excitement of the campaign has died n o ry ut, will net b o . so King Willi unreserve dl y a greeable to am and his Prime Vizier. COLBURN'S NEW I \ I "THLY. —The storms of the season h ave suggested an article on Thunder and Lightning, founded on a French work, which treats of the subject comprehensively. Francis Jacox continues his discourse upon those mysterious in structive likes and dislikes which are so unaccount able, and yet so well founded. He styles it "About not Loving Dr. Fell, and the Reason Why," and cites number lossiustances in which authors and poets have referred to it. Mrs. Bushby proceeds with her series of stories under the " Idali a " . i s cont i nue d i u a ll i ts head of " Snowed u p ," and fervent romance. The story can scarcely fail to end with a tragedy, .which will be its most fitting conclusion. Lieut.-C3lonel Miles gives a fUrthe. instalment of his nar rative of " A voyage from Sea to Sea, through the Isthmus of Suez," and Mr. Ramage continues his " Wanderings through Italy" in search of its ancient remains. Among the remaining papers are one on. "Portuguese Discovery in Africa," and au essay on The War of Annexation," by Cyrus Redding. COLB URN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE. —The 'Ekited Service for this month is more varied than usual. It opens with " The Health of the Navy," a subject of most vital importance both to the men t a e n c d t o t n o a t n h d e s c e o cu u l n i t t y r . y whichTiiecharm looks n k so of s t „t h i f life r i i s t s pro- grog; grog is the stimulus to exertion and the reward of glorious deeds. But there is a limit to good as well as evil, and excess defeats its chiefest pleasure. So it. is with grog ; while stimulating in one case, it enervates and incapacitates in another. But poor Jack is not a man to moralise—he is all for action and glory, so there be grog and privi-money to be had. And these are the great charms of a man-of war's man's existence. Lord Collingwood—a keen observer of sailor life—for ho toiled fifteen years as a midshipman before accident, not favour, gave him a chance of promo tion, was of opinion that "were a man as wise as Solomon and as brave as Achilles, he would still be unworthy of trust if ho addicted himself to grog." And such an opinion, coming from such an authority, must have grieved the conscience of many a worthy sailor, be he officer or sea man. But a little grog in season works wonders with Jack. It is the seatiinent of his life, the very soul of his ambition, and, judiciously administered, operates very beneficially on his health, and neutralises any injurious tendency resulting from climate and the provisions inci dent to a long voyage, and other trying circumstances on unhealthy stations abroad. It is to excess that Lord Col lingwood refers, and that would equally apply to a soldier on land as to a sailor at sea. The writer dwells on other matters which very much affect the health of the navy, some of which may be modified by proper precautions in port, and one which is referable to the stingy economy of the Admiralty towards our surgeons, in withholding proper rank and promotion to men upon whose knowledge and conduct the lives of our gallant defenders so much depend. It is the old curse of monopoly ; there is no virtue at sea, but in men born to promotion and to rule. It is the vice of the despot carried to extremity. It is founded in ignorance, nursed by pride, and Perpetuated by selfishness. But a better spirit is gradually working its way in the administration of our naval affairs, and the service must in due time reap the benefits of a more enlightened conduct. With respect to the health of our sailors it appears there are four stations more particularly dangerous than others. These are the south-east coast of 'America, the Pacific, the west coast of Africa and China station. But the west coast of Africa is the worst of all ; the ratio of mortality there is absolutely frightful. More than half of those who go there never return !

But we hope for a speedy improvement in the administration of our Indian army, by the facilities which railway communication will afford for transferring them to more healthy residences in the hills during the sickly season. This subject is to be continued. "Light Drill in the French Army" is a paper well worthy the attention of the Horse Guards, for, however high our military men may be in their own esteem, they should never be above taking a hint from a neighbour, and that neighbour the one of all others whose whole mind is de voted to the art of war and the means which may tend to excellence. The intelligent writer who has taken this in hand, is an officer who seems to delight in improving the knowledge and quickening the practice of his countryman in the most essential points of the profession in which they aspire to worthy deeds. There is no doubt that in matters of discipline the French are deservedly in the first rank. They spare no pains to attain the very best possible sys tem, and they use the knowledge acquired until practice makes perfect. Above all they catch the spirit of the work, and aspire to excellence for the delight of distinction. With them it is not enough to do the thing well, it must • r I t.wr charm of all their movements, and our author seems to have caught its very spirit. Let our riflemen look to it now that needle-guns and breech-loaders are the order of the day. It would seem that much of the success in the late Prussian campaign is owing to their discipline and confidence in their arms. The needle-gun, so long despised by all the other nations of Europa, England in particular, has been cherished and practised by the Prussian, and now behold the result.. " Curiosities of Naval Literature— Quakers," has for its motto— . "The Castor's guns were thirty-six, Not one of them a Quaker, The Castor's men they fought like bricks, And soon wo took John Acre." This is a humorouS paper, full of old and sometimes droll recollections; it divides the genus Quaker into two classes —those who will not and those who cannot fight. The first class was a worthy, wide-awake, conscientious set, who, looking to the future, actually contrived to " weather" an American yew of Scotch extraction—no bad achievement in a worldly bargain. The other class are simply wooden guns, which, from their non-combatant qualities, seamen humorously call Quakers. Formerly these Quakers did good service in the art of war, more especially at the famous battle of Bull's Run, where the Confederates used them to such good effect that they frightened the Yankees to run all the faster. They are used sometimes with good effect both on land and water to perform or cause some laughable mistakes. But in the present instance they are used as expressive of a deception of any kind, such as a stratagem at sea, in lighting a tar barrel in a dark night to mislead a ship in chase. These stratagems were frequently practised by Lord Cochrane, when in command of the Speedy, with her terrible four pounders. In 1801, when the . combined fleets of France and Spain had sailed from Algesiras, in Gibraltar Bay, they had not proceeded far when it came on dusk, and soon after dark O t tptain Keats, in Superb gallantry, dashed in between the two sternmost ships, firing right and left, and passed on. The movement was so rapidly executed that the Superb shot ahead before the smoke cleared away, and the Spanish ships mistaking each other for the aggressors began a mutual attack, resulting in the Real Carlos, of 112 guns, losing her forotopmast, the sails of which falling over her own guns caught fire. While in this condition the other ship, the Ilermengildo, also of 112 guns, kept still engaging the Carlos as a real enemy, and in the con fusion fell on board her and caught fire also. Both ships burned till about midnight, when they blew up, and nearly all on board, 2,000 men, perished, as Captain Keats was taking possession of a third line-of-battle ship. The phrase "fighting like bricks" has many guesses as to its origin—cne is that "The Bricks" was the name of a club in the Strand who had a quarrel with another club called " The Chips," and the one having vanquished the other, the first-named brotherhood were said "to have stuck together like bricks." A paper on " Tho Battles in Central Europe" gives a masterly account of the war with all its great promises and shortcomings, of which the public have had quite enough for the present. " The Navy as it was and as it is" is another good article ; but we should like it better if we knew what the future navy is to be, for in that consists the grand secret—to be or not to be. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. —The editor's historical romance of the Constable de Bourbon, though long since issued in the customary form for the benefit of the regular novel reader, continues to entertain the readers of Bentley. The seventh book records the horrors of the attack on Rome, and of that first shot which, according to historic legend, laid the ambitious constable low. The romancist accepts the tradition which tolls that Benevenuto Cellini was the hand that fired the fatal shot. "About things being to us as we think them" is a curious and discursive paper. Switzerland is pleasantly sketched by a traveller, and we have also notes of a ride from Petra to llebron. There are also several tales of varying interest, none of which aro of.a very high order. LONDON SOCIETY.--" Going out of Town" is a lugubrious sketch of the miseries people endure who try to be too • comfortable. " Bathing with an Emperor" contains an agreeable description of Biarritz, that makes one long to pay it a flying visit. The scene in the bay, it is said, "auy fine autumn afternoon is one of great beauty, especially when the rays of the setting sun lend their glory to it, reddening the fine woods, lighting up the picturesquely grouped houses, and crimsoning the rocks." "The Trentham's Summer Trip, and what came of it," is a well-described tale, that does not, however, present a very pleasing study to con ; an i con templation. "Oxford and th e Grand Commemoration" gives us animated account of the doings there n the grand days of the classic old city. " Mansion-house los pitalities" presents the read er with a curious comparison between the affairs of to - day a nd times long gone by in the City. " Who wins Miss Burton" is concluded, and satisfactorily, though we are assured not very probably. It would be well if many distressed damsels could, like Agatha, escape at the eleventh hour from a hateful marriage, and avoid the life-long misery of au ill-assorted union. "Up and Down the Lon don Streets" contains its . usual amount of striking infer- SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS. f iRNAMENTS for the Drawing-room, Library, V an I Dining-room, eonsieting of a new and e.evant assort - meat of VASES, Figures, Groups, Candlestic k s, Obelisks, nk ceautiful inlaid Tables, Paper weight., &a, in Italian, Alabaster, Parian, Marble, Bronze, Derbyshire Spar, dm Imported and manufactured by JAMES TENNANT, Mine ralogist to her tieJesty, 149, Strand, W.C., London. - Mr. Tennant arranges elementary oolleations of ROCKS, SI INN/I/4.LS, and FOSSILS, to illustrate the new edition of Lyell's Elements of Geology; they will greatly fsoilitate the interesting study of MINERALOGY and GEOLOGY, and can be had at 2,5, 10, 20, 50, to 500 guineas each. PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION to GM° LOGY and MUTE- R kLOGY is given by Mr.TENNAN r,F.G.S.. at 149. Strand. The Trial of the Fenian Prisoners in Canada. The following is the text of Mr. Seward's letter to the Hon. Mr. Bruce, concerning the trial of the Fenian prisoners in Canada : " Department of State, Washington, June 11, 1866. " Sir,—The Secretary of War has laid before the President several despatches, which were received yesterday and to-day from Major-General Meade, who is commanding the United States forces on the Canadian frontier. These communications warrant the President in believing that the so-called Fenian expedition is now entirely at an end, and that order and tranquillity may be expected to prevail hence forth upon that border. I regret, however, that I am obliged to connect with this gratifying informa tion the further statements that reports have reached Major-General Meade to the effect that some of the Canadian or British troops have crossed the line and entered within the territory and jurisdiction of the United States. It is even said that this entry took place after the disturbers of the peace, under the command of the leader Spear, had relinquished their forbidden enterprise, and withdrawn within the boundary line of the United States. The reports go so far as to say that prisoners have been taken on the soil of the United States and conveyed to Ca nada, and that the Canadian agents have threatened that these prisoners, together with such stragglers as may now be found within the Canadian lines, will be executed without trial. It is believed these reports are exaggerated. Care has been taken by Major- Gen. Meade to have them promptly investigated. " In the meantime I am instructed by the Presi dent to represent to you, and through you to the British and Canadian authorities, that this Govern ment would not look without serious concern upon the practice of any unnecessary severity, especially on the exercise of retaliation or other illegal pro ceedings upon the persons of such of the offenders as have fallen or shall hereafter fall into the hands of the Canadian authorities. I respectfully invite your attention to the subject, with the confident expectation that no proceedings that are not autho rised and in conformity with law will be taken against persons of that class, and in the hope that even the customary administration of the law will be tempered with special forbearance and clemency. In view of the effective proceedings which this Government has adopted in regard to the dis turbances on the frontier, now so fortunately ended, these representations would have been made by me without waiting to be moved from any other quarter. They arc now made, however, with the approval of Major-General Meade, and I believe that they will receive the concurrence of the Con gress and the people of the United States.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " WILLIAM H. SEWARD. " The Hon. Frederick W. A. Bruce." DEAUVILLE RACES.—Disappointment was felt at the non-appearance of any of the English horses engaged at this meeting. An accident occurred in the two-year old race by the falling of Ouvereuse and Bountiful. Tho jockeys Musgrove and William Carter were both seriously hurt, the latter having his arm broken in two places. In the Prix de Deauville Marino was left at the post, and Fleur des Bois and Tancrede came in first and second. Tho start having been declared a bad one, the race was run over again, and Marion won easily, Fleur des Bois and Tan ) credo now finishing. second and third.

THE WAGES MOVEMENT.—Though in most branches of labour an increase of wages or a diminu tion of working hours has been latterly obtained, some trade disputes still exist, and two or three of them have been of long duration. The joiners and carpenters of Preston struck work on the sth of May, and have there fore been " out" just three calendar months. Their de mands are more wages, less work, and fewer apprentices. As the master builders, after negotiating with the opera tives until their patience was exhausted, have obtained from other places as many hands as they want at present, nothing now remains for the men but increased loss and disappointment, in proportion to the prolongation of the struggle. They are now the only sufferers, whatever loss andaunoyance they may have caused to tho employers during the first few weeks of the strike. The men receivo 14s. per week, the funds being supplied by other branches of the union, who, we should fancy, are by this time tired of their share in the pursuit of a phantom which grows fainter every day. Many of the men, however, have been compelled to leave their homes in search of employment elFewhere ; and no doubt the strike will quietly die out, an utter failure, and a somewhat remarkable illustration of the inability of labour to cope with capital when trying conclu sions with it in thisway. On the Ist of May the masons of Blackburn, numbering 270, struck work for a reduction of six hours from the weekly number of 55. They allege that 49 is the number of hours worked per week at Bradford, Oldham, Todtnorden, Rochdale, Halifax, and other towns. Some of the masters, not members of the Builders' Association, and employing between 50 and 60 men, at once conceded the de mand ; and others, from the pressure of contracts and the public exigencies, afterwards gave way. But few of the men aro now out of work. The flaggers and slaters of Preston have been on strike a considerable time, and there is no present prospect of the termination of the dispute. It is feared that the general advance which is taking plac e i n wages will cause a stagnation in the building trade, as the increased cost of building is causing capitalists to seek other and more profitable investments. Cottage rents have been increased from 10 to 15 per cont., in consequence of the hi g h price of labour and materials for building, and the heavy taxes and other charges upon property, one of which is an percentage demanded from and ot the some oo mr owners tehor of thembmy o rentmonths athres increased collectors.ll' the cotton trade at Blackburn a strike for an e o f w ages has drawers -in, a a m dv o g rs ra a ti n o d n scheme was mooted at one of their given up.

Notwithstanding the heavy imports of cotton into Liverpool during the past few days the quantity of cotton at sea en route for the Mersey and the Thames is still - ery large. From Bombay 336,734 bales afloat en route to Liverpool ; from Madras there are 14,615 bales; from Conconada, 5,988 bales; from Rangoon, 1,180 bales; from Kurrachee, 8,567 bales; from Calcutta, 124,997 bales ; from Taticorin, 2,575 bales ; from Shan gliae, 12,036 hales; from New Orleans, 8,924 bales; from Mobile, 3,795 ; from Galveston, 1,780 bales ; but there are six vessels afloat, the cargoes of which have not as yet been reported, and there are also eleven vessels afloat from New York, Pensacola, Charleston, Apalachicola, and Savannah, the car goes of which will no doubt consist partly of cot ton, although up to last Monday their manifests had not reached Liverpool. To London there are afloat from Madras, 22,866 bales ; Calcutta, 31,223 bales; Bimlipatana, 369 bales; China, Cochin, and Taticorin, 20,280 bales ; Bombay, 11,360 bales ; and from Japan, 310 bales.
