The reason is that they are anxious to give a hint of the future coming events which cast their shadows before in this instance as in many others; and in all probability we shall shortly find that the prayer of these imaginary or concerted petitions is already answered in the affirmative. It may well be asked what object Count BISMARCK can possibly have in thus cheat ing those with whom he enters into diplomatic relations, and it would be difficult to finil an answer. Perhaps he hardly knows when he begins an en gagement whether he will keep it or not, but acts as he deems advisable and expedient. There is difficulty in all treaties when they are being made, no matter how victorious the fame of the contract ing parties may be, and therefore it is just possible that he thought it advisable to give some indication of an improved policy, and reserved to himself the right of carrying it out or not as it might suit his purpose. We pity the victims of this make-believe Prussian liberality, for their hopes have been excited and their expectations raised in the most unwarrant able manner, and now they are to be cast adrift again and left to the tender mercies of their old enemies. It will be an outrage on the good sense and good feeling of Europe if this'promise about Schleswig is not kept ; but that, unhappily, is no reason why it should not prove so in the main. We have had reason enough over and over again to notice how little the Berlin Government cares for keeping its professions, and this will be therefore no novel inci dent, though one to be deplored for many reasons. It will be a blunder as well as a crime if Count BISMARCK persists in giving up the notion of restitution, for the Berlin Government are already so unpopular that anything they could do to retrieve their character would be indeed a lucky hit for them. It appears that the Prussians think that they are quite able to set all Europe at defiance ; and in nothing is this more conspicuous than in their con duct to France. Count BISMARCK has given up the idea of visiting Biarritz altogether, and appears to treat all the envoys and emissaries of the EMPEROR very cavalierly, to say the least It is said that he had the cool ness to inform the French Ambassador that the Emperor NAr OLEON might now consider the dynasty of the PRINCE IMPERIAL safe, for that Prussia was strong and compact. It has come to something when such remarks are made ; but the whole tenour of the Prussian Minister's course has been in keep ing with this for some time past, and the only wonder is that the French have put up with such brusque demeanourfor so long a period. The EMPE OR has doubtless some weighty reason for hispolicy, of it. mysterious as it may seem to us. Besides, it must be remembered that too much stress was laid upon the demand of M. DROUYN DE L'llurs at the time, and the subsequent declarations of the EMPEROR leave us no room to doubt that he never intended to give Prussia the alternative, of war or of yielding the Rhine provinces. That all is not really smooth between these two Powers we may gather from the namerous observations that are so constantly being made, for when perfect concord exists there is no occasion to be for ever sounding the trumpet and proclaiming the fact; the very reiteration of it may well raise a doubt of its reality. -oPP-Np. v - jtjt , /.. LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 11, 1866. Ratifications of the Treaties of Alliance are now being rapidly exchange,l, but the unfortunate little kingdom of Saxony ha 3 not received intelligence of what is to be its position in the North German Confederation ; and we hear that Prussia insists on Konigstein being evacuated before she enters into negotiations upon this subject. In consequence of this arbitrary determination it is expected that the Saxon troops will shortly leave the fortress. There is nothing for us to be surprised at in this, for it is quite of a piece with all the other acts of the Berlin Government ; but nevertheless it is a very hard and harsh proceeding, and one, also, that is not at all in accordance with the terms of the treaty which was to preserve the integrity of Saxony. The Upper House has passed the annexation Bill by a large majority, but in the Chamber of Depu ties affairs are not going on so smoothly as was at first anticipated. The committee on the Loan Bill determined to recommend the rejection of the loan of sixty millions, which the Government asked for, and the adoption of the bill as the committee had amended it, and authorising the issue of Treasury Bonds to the value of thirty million thalers, repayable in one year. The Minister of Finance had actually the impertinence to declare that this amendment was unacceptable, and that the Government attached no importance to the resolution of the committee, hoping for a more favoUrable result from a full house. This is certainly playing at legislation in conducting the business of the country in a most barefaced manner. We always expected that this would be the end of all we heard of the complete unity which was to reign between the Government and the Chambers. The fact is that the only way in which there can be anything like harmony will be for the deputies to allow the Ministers their own way in everything. If any change is proposed in their schemes, or any alteration suggested, there is immediately a hubbub raised, and the representatives are treated with per fect contempt, and told to take the consequences. Surely we may gain some idea fro m thi s of the man ner in which those States which have just been annexed are likely to be treated. The mention that is so repeatedly made of " unity," and all that kind of thing, will soon be found to be a mere empty form, and, in fact, mere phraseology. It will be the old story of oppression and tyranny in their worst form, and most extravagant characteristics, and so it will shortly be seen by those who rave at Prus sian magnanimity. The future course of the Prus sian Government with respect to North Schleswig materially attracts a large share of public attention at present, and people are beginning to get anxious about the manner in which that part of the treaty will be carried out which declares that, if the people of these districts declare by a freer vote that they desire to be united to Den mark, they shall be ceded accordingly. Of course there is no valid reason why this Cession should take place, and the more so that the late war bore no relation to the Duchies them selves, but was rat- • ter entered into for the sake of deciding which of the two great German Powers should acquire ascendancy iu Germany. We doubt very much, however, if Count BISMARCK will keep to his word in this respec`. Nothing is more likely, indeed, than that he may turn round and declare that circumstances have arisen which rer.der it im possible to carry out the original intention There is always great danger of a promise being broken when one party to the agreement is stronger than the other, and when this preponderating influence possesses no ideas of honour, and no notion of keeping go o d faith, unless it happens to suit his purpose. We feel quite convinced of one thing, and that is, that Count BISMARCK is quite opposed to the plebiscite altogether, and is sure to find some excuse or other for not carrying out the matter when it comes to the point. A very significant telegram from Berlin announced that numerous petitions had arrived there which protested against the retrocession of any part of Schleswig to Denmark. That this is true we do' The arrival of the City of Paris, from New York on the Ist inst., tells us that the Radicals in the States are not idle. Latterly all the intelligence which we have received has been favourable to the prospects of that moderate, liberal, and constitu tional party of which the President is the head. We have had the Convention- at Philadelphia; where unity and patriotism were the order of the day. We have had the presentation of the address to the President by the delegates, and the enthusiastic de monstrations in his favour during his progress through the States. We have now the reverse side of the picture, and although the Radical leaders are always so vehement and demonstrative in their lan guage and conduct that their public proceedings must not be taken as a sample even of the wishes of the more moderate me.nbers of their own party, we may judge of the difficulties which beset the President from a few items in the news. WENDELL PHILIPS, in theAnti-Slavery Standard, has violently attacked Mr. JOHNSON, urging Congress to depose the perjured, usurping traitor." This is tolerably strong language, and affords us a sample of the temper of those enthusiastic abolitionists, who, like OTIIELLO, find their occupation gone. The real and substantial evil of slavery, against which they have so long contended is happily at an end. They would act more wisely and consistently if they were to endeavour to assist the negro in his new and diffi cult position ; to encourage him to labour, and to make him feel that now he is free to profit by his own labour he cannot expect others to support and care for him. The great aim of all real friends should be to infuse into them that feeling of inde pendence and self-reliance which is naturally foreign to their race and their nature, and which their previous history has tended to discourage. Without this no Bureaus or agencies can keep them up in the race. They may gain temporary assist ance, but the current of life in the States flows on too roughly and too rapidily for them to have a chance unless they can strive for themselves. Those who from prejudice or party motive busied themselves in exciting and unsettling the negro, filling his eager and unstable mind with visions of lands of his own apportioned to him by Go vernment, which would feed him without labour, have done him cruel service. The best' and most advantageous course for the real friend of the freedman to Pursue is to induce him to resume the work to which he has been accustomed, and for which he is so well fitted. If once these vexed questions of representation and legislation are set tled, and the Southern States return to their old cour se, aided by Northern enterprise and c a pit a l, there will be abundance of employment for the negro, and he may enjoy the blessings of freedom w w ithout being forced into a hel p less com p e tition with the shrewd, indus trious, These and are, hardy in fact,hit e men of the Northern Sta tes. the views which Mr. JOHNS ON had advocated ; and to divide the because he has raised the proposal Southern plantations among the neg roes who used to w'rk on them, he is, forsooth , denounced as a " perjured, usurping traitor." WENDELL rHILIr s, however, is in respectable company. Gen. B UTLER, of famous New Orleans memory, had made a speech denouncing the President, and advocating the in definite exclusion of the Southern States from re presentation. Perhaps Mr. JOHNSON will take this sort of opposition as a complithent. At any rate he is not a man to be easily turned from his purpose, or frightened into concession, as the Radicals have found to their cost. They are not prepared to relinquish the ground without a struggle, and are evidently afraid that the PRESIDENT'S site has gained too much upon popular favour lately. They think it is necessary, therefore, to make some active demonstration, and have selected Philadelphia as its scene, on the same principle, we suppose, that induced Mr. ETnE'S accusers, with singular good taste, to get up a rival banquet at Southampton on the evening of his reception in that city. The Radical Convention at Philade'i hia is ether- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1866. ing its forces, and a preliminary meeting was held on August 31st, at which the President was denounced. Meanwhile Mr. JOHNSON and his suite are continuing their tour to Chicago, receiving enthusiastic demonstrations on their way. The PRESIDENT has been entertained at Auburn, Mr. SEWARD'S home, where a 'grand banquet was given, at which Mr. SEWARD introduced the Mexican Minister, Signor ROMERO, and said he hoped by next November the Mexican Republic would be free from the last vestige of foreign invasion. General GRANT proposed the health of the Minister and the success of his cause. This is significant. Advices from the Southern Continent state that the allied Republics have determined to continue a retaliatory war upon Spanish commerce, so that Spain, like other aggressors, may be inalined to regret her ar rogance and injustice when it is too late to avoid their consequences. In the midst of all these internal commotions and threatened disturbances abroad, there is one record which reaches us from the shores of America which tells of nothing but peace and triumph. The victory celebrated is not over foreign invaders or fellow-citizens, but over the frowning elements ; the struggle recorded is not against a band of angry politicians, but against the inherent difficulties of a momentous undertaking. The full details which have now reached us of the landing of the shore end of the Atlantic Cable is full of interest. The excitement and enthusiasm felt at the spot where the great work was successfully accomplished are vividly described. For a week before the arrival of the great ship people flocked from far and near to the little village of Heart's Content, housing themselves where they could and how they could. From St. John's, 0 miles off, and other parts they came, and when the landing of the cable actually took place there were crowds on board and on shore. The Terrible had the honour of landiug it in her boats, but the huge rocks which fringe that stormy coast prevented any of them from getting up to the beach. The crew jumped into the water each ambi tious of being the first to bring it on shore. The excitement and delight of all who had taken part in the responsible and anxious duty of laying the cable may be imagined, and when the first messages were despatched and the word was given that the signals were perfect from the Irish shore the rejoicing was great indeed. The ships fired salutes and those on board and on shore gave answering cheers.. The enthusiasm respecting the Great Eastern did not abate with the landing of her precious freight, for visitors from all par ts of the colony came pouring in. A touching incident is recorded of one of those visitors who came among the crowds, but who could not see the ship. A young blind girl, led by her brother, listened with eager smile to his explanations, judging of the height of the vessel from the length of the ladder, of the length of the ship from the distance which he led her from end to end. A touching tribute to the warm inte rest felt in the gnat undertaking which, after so many delays, is at last triumphant. Marie Gallina, with whom he had lived for several years past, and who sold wine at the Fort of Bicetre. The dead body was found on the 22d of May last in a rye-field, behind some houses, near Villejuif. It was proved that the prisoner and the deceased had frequent quarrels, and the latter had often been brutally beaten by him. There was no doubt that the assassin had decoyed her to the spot upon some false pretence in order to murder her and rob her. Her purse, which had contained 50f., was traced to the prisoner. Several mortal wounds had been inflicted with a hatchet or other cutting instrument. Bussiere confessed the murder, the motive for which, he said, was jealousy. He was sentenced to death. Another clever female thief has just made the ac quaintance of the police. She is what is called in French slang a cambrioleuse, that is to say a woman who steals from rooms. Miss Clementine, the female thief in question, follows her vocation in this way. She goes into houses with a basket like the girls who take home linen from the washerwomen. She knocks at the door of a room. Should the occupant be at home, she makes an excuse and says she has mistaken the floor. If there be no answer, a result which leads to the most profitable game, she enters the room by means of a false key. Clementine had been watched, and on Saturday when she had been cambriolising in the Rue de Temple, the door-keeper stopped her as she was going out and asked her to whom she had been up stairs. She became confused. He looked into her basket, which contained a valuable clock, which it was ascertained belonged to a lady in the house who was absent. On search ing Clementine's lodgings a great quantity of valu able miscellaneous property was found ; all, no doubt, the produce of the washerwomen dodge. The Italian Opera will open on the 2nd of next month with the " Sonnambula," of course with Adelina Patti as the Heroine. The director, M. Bagier, has issued an attractive programme of the season. The cholera has been rather fatal at Bou logne-sur-Mer. It does not now excite alarm. The number of deaths from cholera is now on the decline, and at the last account it was at the rate of 1 out of 7,000 inhabitants. The weather is excessively rough and stormy. The rain came on with great violence about one o'clock this morning, and continued, with little intermission, until nine. It began to rain heavily again about two p.m., and there was a slight storm of thunder and lightning soon afterwards. At post hour the weather was of a threatening character. There was no material fall in temperature. The Emperor went out shooting to-day in the forest of Compiegne._ It is now said that his Ma jesty will not leave for Biarritz until Thursday next.

The vrrious district bodies were collected and marched to the ground headed by bands of music, and the principal speakers and members of the League were accommodated in two vans, from which to address the assemblage. Mr. T. Ellis was called to the chair, and briefly opened the proceedings by pointing out the great need for combination. Mr. Hand ford (secretary to the Bermondsey branch of the League), alluded at great length to the late defeat of the Reform Bill, and in conclusion moved, " That this meeting de clares its satisfaction at the formation in Bermondsey of a branch of the Reform League, and pledges itself by all prac tical means to obtain registered and residential manhood suffrage and the ballot." Mr. West seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. J. Merriman, and carried amid loud cheering. The Rev. J. Sinclair then moved, "That this meeting views with indignation and disgust the recent unprincipled conduct of the Tory party with regard to reform, and hereby declares its conviction that a Tory Go vernment is unfit honestly and satisfactorily to deal with Reform, and this meeting further declares that the dismissal of the Tory Government from power is necessary for the best interests of the country." Mr. Culmer seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. J. Baxter Langley, and adopted. Mr. Collins then proposed that the warmest thanks be tendered to Earl Russell, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Mr. John Bright, Mr. Stuart Mill, and the members for Southwark, and other earnest Re formers for their support and vindication of the people's rights in Parliament. Mr. Mantle, in seconding the re solution, urged upon all true reformers and lovers of liberty. to press forward and once more reinstate Lord Russell and , Mr. Gladstone in that position which they had nobly filled• This resolution was carried, and Mr. Malthouse, Colonel Dickson, and others addressed the assemblage. when the proceedings, which throughout were conducted with the utmost order and propriety, were brought to a close with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. The meeting then dispersed to their homes, and it is gratifying to state that the police authorities did not show head, and there was not the slightest reason to call for their interference. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION OFFICERS.—There are in the United Kingdom 16 Government emigration officers, who act under the immediate direction of her Majesty's Emigration Commmissioners. In London there are five; Liverpool, seven ; Plymouth, one ; Glasgow and Greenock one ; Londonderry, one ; and in Cork one. They procure and give gratuitously information as to the sailing of ships and means of accommodation for emigrants, and whenever applied to for that purpose they see that all agreements be tween shipowners, agents, or masters and intending emi grants are duly performed. They also see that the provi sions of the Passengers Act are strictly complied with viz., that passenger vessels are seaworthy, that they have ou board a sufficient supply of provisions, water, medicines, &c., and that they sail with proper punctuality. They at tend personally at their offices on each week-day, and afford gratuitously all the assistance in their power to protect in tending emigrants against fraud and imposition, and to ob ain redress where oppression or injury has been practised on them. During 1865 four prosecutions were instituted in the kingdom under the Passengers Act, and three have been reported as having been instituted in the colonies. The amounts recovered for emigrants through the inter vention of the emigration officers were as follow, viz.: London, £1 2s. 6d. ; Liverpool, £237 17s. ed. ; Glasgow, £l9 Os. 6d. ; Cork, £1,747 lls. 4d. ; and in Londonderry, £l4 17s. 6d.—making a total of £5,020 9s. 4d. REPRESENTATION OF PENRYN AND FALMOUTH.— Intelligence reached the united borough on Saturday of the death of Lord Northbrook, whereby the seat in Parlia ment held by his eldest son, Mr. T. G. Baring, has become vacant. A meeting of electors was immediately summoned, and held at tho Royal Hotel, Falmouth, at 8 p.m. on that day, when a very large body attended, the Mayor (Mr. N. Fox) taking the chair. A resolution was unanimously passed, appointing five gentlemen from each section of the borough to consider the names of candidates who would be acceptable to the constituency, to be submitted to a general meeting for the selection and approval of one of them at the earliest possible moment. This committee at once put itself in motion. A second resolution was also carried, pledging the meeting to Liberal principles, depre cating corruption of any kind, and declaratory of united and immediate action to secure a suitable representative. The entire meeting was most enthusiastic in its character; and as Mr. Baring has always been considered a most active, able, and diligent member during the three succes sive Parliaments in which he has represented the borough, great regret for his loss was expressed on all sides—and upon the motion of Mr. Robert R. Broad, J.P., Falmouth, seconded by Mr. John Gill, of Penryn, a resolution was unanimously passed, and directed to be forwarded by the chairman to Mr. Baring, condoling with him on the loss of his father, and regretting that they are thereby deprived of his much appreciated services as a representative. No candidate in the Conservative interest has been named in any quarter, although it is supposed a Liberal will not be permitted to walk over the course. During the meeting strong remarks condemnatory of the corrupt disclosures made at Lancaster, Yarmouth, and Totnes were made by the speakers. It is most creditable to the united borough that nothing in the shape of bribery or corruption has been practised iu it for more than. 12 years, and a high moral tone is everywhere exhibited by the constituency. SALES OF YEARLINGS AT DONCASTER.—The num ber of the first-class yearlings to be submitted to the racing public at Doncaster during the ensuing race meeting will far exceed any former year; and so numerous are the commissions that Messrs. Tattersall, the well known auctioneer; have received that it has been found necessary to appropriate a largo paddock iu Horsefair for the accommodation of the numerous lots. Messrs. Tatter sall will both sell in separate rings on Wednesday (the St. Leger day), and on Thursday ; and on Tuesday and Fri day only one of them will sell as usual. The Tuesday's sales will comprise the Whitfield stud of yearlings —Mr. tlarrisou's, Mr. Watkiu's, and other lets. The Wedues day's sale will include, in the first catalogue, the yearlings of the Bythorp stud—Lord Scarborough's, Mr. J. Scott's, Mr. Wright's, Mr. Newton'; and Mr. Stephenson's ; in the second catalogue, the Middleton-one-Row, Mr. Hewett's, Mr. Graham's, Mr. Morris's, Major Davidson'; Mr. Robert son's, and the Hon. W. Duncombe's. The first catalogue on Thursday will embrace the Earl of Derby's yearlings and lots of the late Earl of Chesterfield, the Sheffield-lane, and Mr. Cookson's ; and the second the Fairfield stud of yearlings, Sir Tatton Sykes's, Mr. Merry's, Mr. I'Anson's, Mr. Winteringham's, and others ; and Friday's catalogue will contain yearlings the property of the Marquis of Exe ter, Mr. J. Osborne, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Parker cud other gentlemen. In addition to Messrs. Tattersall's extensive sales, Mr. R. F. Tilburn, of Doncaster, and Mr. Robt. Johnson, of York, have received important commis -6i01113! The Kentish Hop Gardens. (From the Maidstone and Kentish Journal.) MAIDSTONE AND ADJOINING PARISHES, Sept. 10. —Since our last the hops have been blown about very much in places. A few more pockets have been sent to market. The colour is pretty good, but weight light. Picking will be general in a few days. BIDDENDEN.—Our hops have made good progress during the past fortnight. The high winds have somewhat knocked them about, but hopes are en tertained of producing a good sample. The crop will not be heavy. Picking has commenced and will become general during the week. BRENCHLEY.—Picking has commenced here, but we think it is rather too soon, although some sorts yield very well. CRANBROOK.—The hops have grown out during the past week, and some of them, in the early sorts, are unusually large. The weather, however, has not been of a forcing nature, and the picking, in general, will be delayed for a few days longer. We see no reason at present to alter our opinion as to an average yield, provided favourable weather rules throughout the gathering season. Several planta tions of " Brenchley's" have been. picked, and what have been submitted to the balances have not been found wanting. The only danger the hops are now subjectel to is the mould, several patches of which we have observed within these last few days. At present the flowers are bright and silvery in colour, and they indicate superior quality. Since writing the above we have had a rough boisterous wind, which has battered and bruised the bops about in situations where they are much , exposed, but we have seen but few branches blown off, although the polls are scattered in all directions. The old growers are opinion that the backward hops cannot now grow to any size, and that it is too late for them to obtain much quality. If fine weather rules only for the next fourteen days things will be won derfully improved, and they will be induced to alter their notes, no doubt, with gratification. FRITI'ENDEN.—The weather during the week has been very unfavourable to the plantations. The high winds have done much damage to the most exposed gardens. Picking has commenced in a few instances of the earlier sorts. The general complaint is that they come down fast and weigh light. Pick ing will be general about the middle of the week. HORTON KIRBY.—We have not made much pro gress this last fortnight. The late winds have made fearful havoc in some grounds. The crop will be generally a light one. Picking commences on the 10th. DIALLING, WEST.—The late winds have clone much harm. Picking commences in several places on Monday, and will be general during the week. OTFORD.—Many of the grounds in this district have suffered from the late heavy rains and high wind. Nevertheless, we shall begin picking imme diately. PEASMARSIL Picking will commence here in earnest next week, but we have sustained injury from the late very unfavourable weather. PEMBURY.—Some of the growers have commenced picking here, but little progress is made, owing to the high winds and rain which have prevailed. SA.NDHURST.—Up till within the last few days we had hoped to secure a good crop of hops, but the plant has changed for the worse, owing to the heavy rains and high winds, and it is now too late for any improvement. SPELDHURST.—Contrary to general expectation we have not commenced picking yet, as the plant comes on but slowly. WARBLETON.—Nothing can be said as to the quantity we shall grow here; but picking will com mence next week. YALDING.—The hops will not bear so favourable a report as last week. 'The cold nights of the 2d and 3d shut up the backward hops, and hindered the full development of the forward. Since then high winds have battered them and lessened the crop. We may still grow an average crop in this neigh bourhood. DEPARTURE OF HOP-PICKERS. — Ye sterda y one of the most numerous companies of hop-pickers that has left the metropolis for many years p roceeded b y the South-Eastern, London and Brighton, and Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Railways to the hop grounds of Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, and in addi tion large numbers proceeded by steam boats to Gravesend. The continuous wet weather compels the growers to have the crops gathered with the least possible delay. It is estiniated that more than 1,200 proceeded by train from London-bridge terminus yesterday morning. THE OXFORD.—The ever active managing direc tor of the Oxford has provided a great treat for patrons by the engagement of the Delapierre family. The party consists of a brother and two sisters, whose musical performances are, we might almOst say, of an extraor dinary nature. The two young ladies, who appear to be of the respective ages of 12 and 14, perform the composi tions of the most eminent masters on the violin ; their brother occasionally taking part in the performance on the viol incello. The celebrated" Carnival de Venice" is executed in brilliant style by the young artists—a keen competition seeming to exist between all parties to secure for their solo the preponderance of applause. The younger of the two sisters oftens performs on the xilophone, a fashionable name for the old pine stick, or rock harmonicon, and cer tainly the little lady deserves the highest praise for the rapidity and precision of her execution. Tho operatic selection front " Trovatore" is capitally given by the numerous corps of vocalists engaged at the establishment ; and the comic element, a very important one at music halls, embraces the talent of Air. 11. Sydney, whose songs are replete with gekuine wit and humour. Altogether the bill of fare at the Oxford is such that large and delighted audiences gannet fail to je attracted thefo every evening. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. It is said that the Marquis de la Valette, the Minister of the Interior, who temporarily occupies the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, is about to issue a circular to the Representatives of France at the various foreign Courts which will give a review of the important political events of the last two or three months, and trace the views and policy of the present French Government. I prepared you some days ago for the publication of such a document. 'I he tenour of it, I am informed, will be essentially pacific, and altogether it will be calculated to dispel uneasy feelings which still prevail in some quarters. There was rather an important erratum the other day in my notice of the appointment of M, Moustier as Minister of Foreign Affairs in the room of M. Drouyn de I said that M. Monstier was no tyro in diplo matic affairs and not a tyro, as was printed. M. de Moustier has been very zealous and success ful in his diplomatic efforts, particularly at Berlin in 1859, when mainly through his tact and skill Prussia was prevented from allying herself with Austria against France. M. Drouyn de l'Huys has been four times Minister of Foreign Affairs since 1818. The present appointment of M. Moustier makes the twelfth appointment of Minister of Fo reign Affairs since December, 1848. His prede cessors, reckoning from that period, were M. Drouyn de l'Huys, M. de Tocqueville, June 2, 1849, M. Lahitte, November 19 of that year ; M. Drouyu de l'Huy s, January 9, 1851 ; M. Brenier, January 24 of that year ; M. Baroche, April 10, 1851 ; M. Turgot, 26th of October of that year, M. Drouyn de l'Huys, July 28, 1852 ; M. Walewski, May 8, 1855 ; M. Thouvenel, Jan. 4, 1861; and M. Drouyn de L'Huys, October, 15, 1862. The only news of importance in the Government despatches from Mexico to the 10th inst. is the con firmation of the report of the capture of Tampico by the Republicans. The Journal des Debats, in reference to electoral corruption in England, says :—" It would require a volume at least to give the disclosures, at once in structive and amusing, which are made daily before the Parliamentary Commissions sitting at Yarmouth and Totnes, in order to prove the existence of cor ruption at elections. Some of these depositions have equal interest for the moralist and the politician, and afford striking illustrations of the various mo- Lives which influence the human heart." After giving some of the evidence, the Journal des Debats concludes by arguing that it is most important for England to repress and destroy electoral corruption. The great circular nave of the International Exhibition is nearly completed, and the small inter mediate naves are being proceeded with rapidly. Round the central garden galleries are being built for promenade in bad weather. The aquariums are being constructed in the south-east angle of the Champ de Mars, opposite the Ecole Militaire. Near the Pont d'Jena a small palace, with an Asiatic dome, is being built. This is the pavilion of the Emperor of Russia. Workmen are engaged in macadamizing the park and the avenues. Four new branch establishments for the manu facture of arms have recently been brought into activity. They are at Vincennes, Versailles, Puteaux, and St. Germain. It is the new Chasse pota gun which is chiefly in progress of manufacture. There Cloud at theassemblage opening yesterday e f the the park was e f s t n .fete. I regret to learn that rather a serious accident took place at the Circus erected for the performance of horses in the park. Some of the upper benches gave way, and a great many persons were precipitated upon those who occupied the lower benches. No . deaths are mentioned, but there were some c2ses of broken limbs and severe contusions. The portions of the fete are peculiarly interesting. Som e 700 pilgrims, belonging to various religious orders, went in procession in honour of St. Klodoald (S t . Cloud), grandson of Sainte Clotilde, the wife of the great Merovingian chief Clovis. The beautiful new ogival church, where some imposing ceremonies have been performed, should be visited by all strangers. The interior is simple, but in very good taste. The two chapels are beautifully ornamented. A new ballet is about to be produced at the Opera, called " La Source," in which marvellous effects are to be produced. The chief is the view of a mountain not only painted, but which by mecha nical aid will appear like a real mountain. The source of water will flow from its sides in the first act clear and transparent, and the mountain will be covered with verdure sparkling from the effects of the sun. In the third act the source will be changed to an arid waste at the foot of a rugged rock. Jean Michel Bussiere, a man of forty-five, has been convicted before the Court of Assize of La Seine, of murdering and robbing a woman named The Festival of the Three Choirs Annually at this period, when all the world is from home and are taking their accustomed autumnal rest, the " Festival of the Three Choirs" is held at one of the three cathedral cities of Worcester, Hereford, and Glocester. The present year's turn is Worcester's, and is the 143 d meeting of this vene rable musical association, which will commence to morrow at that city. These are the great provincial musical events of the year, and people strictly in clined to oratorios, and who believe that this class of sacred music can never be heard to such perfection as in a building consecrated to religious purposes usually take these gatherings in their annual holiday. Worcester is perhaps more fortunate than her sister cities in attracting strangers of this class on account of the immediate proximity of that delightful resort of water-drinkers - --Malvern, although Glocester has its " Queen of "Watering Places" (Cheltenham) almost in its suburbs. However, be this as it may, Worcester generally ranks No. 1 in the amount rea lised by its festival, Glocester 2cl, and Hereford 3d. The history and origin of these festivals has been too frequently sketched to call for repetition here. Originally (as their title imports) an association of the three choirs of Worcester, Hereford, and Glocester Cathedrals, they maintained that character for many years, but gradually increased their attrac tion by the employment of extraneous professional help, until in late years they became the rivals of Exeter-hall, but still retaining a character peculiar to themselves. A few years ago, before the general introduction of railways, these festivals languished, and the half-dozen stewards who at that time were responsible for the pecuniary liabilities were so heavily taxed that there was great difficulty in in ducing gentlemen to undertake the risk. This was the case 20 years ago, but since then the tide has set gradually stronger every year in the other direction. The responsibilities of the stewards have annually decreased, and for several years there has been a surplus of profit, besides the amount received in voluntary donations frequently exceeding £l,OOO. These donations and the surplus profits, if any, are applied to the funds of the " Charity for the Relief of Widows and Orphans of Clergy" of the three as sociated dioceses. As to the prespects of this year's festival they were never, at any time in the history of these meetings, so favourable. This, it may be supposed, is a repetition of the old tale so often put in circulation by the secretaries and managers of such gatherings, but there is one unerring test which can be applied by any perion who may be sceptical on this point, i.e., the marked plans of seats which on inspection will be found to be so filled up as scarcely to leave a good vacant place. In fact, it has already been found necessary to provide addi tional accommodation for visitors, so extraordinary has been the demand for tickets. The oratorios are given at the Cathedral, and the secular concerts at the College Hall. The whole of the noble nave of the Cathedral, with its aisles, is appropriated to the uses of the festival, the orchestra being erected at the foot of the great west window. Hitherto this has been placed at the east end of the navettgainst the organ screen, but the removal of both organ and screen has caused the present change, and the congregation being now placed with their faces westward, instead of eastward, as heretofore, gives much additional room in the nave, besides allowing of supplementary seats in the choir for the surplus visitors. The choir will, therefore, also be used for this purpose, the tickets being fixed at 10s. (re served). For the principal reserved seats the tickets are priced at 15s. Of these there are 720. There are a few reserved aisle seats at 55., and the unre served aisle tickets are charged 2s. 6d., or 3s. 6d. on the last morning. The evening concert tickets are 10s. 6d. ani 3s. 6d. each. There is not a reserved 15s. seat left for the " Messiah," and very few for the oratorios ; so that, even if the weather continue as unfavourable as it has been for the last week, the success of the festivar is in a measure already secured. The order of proceeding is as follows :—The fes tival may be said to open, as many others conclude —viz., with a feast. This morning the Mayor of Worcester, Mr. T. Southall, gives a public break fast to the stewards, the bishop, dean, and principal inhabitants of Worcester and its environs at the Guildhall, ladies being included, of course, in the invitations. The first performance of sacred music commences at noon at the Cathedral. This morn ing's selection consists of the " Te Deum," composed by Handel after the victory of Dettingen, a selec tion from Costa's " Naaman," Haydn's oratorio the " Creation," and Mendelssohn's anthem " Hear my Prayer." It should be mentioned that there is daily morning service at the Cathedral at an early hour, at which the musical portion of the service is given exclusively by the actual members of " The Three Choirs," and that at this (Tuesday) morning's ser vice the annual sermon will be preached by the Hon. and Rev. J. W. Leigh. To-morrow (Wednesday) morning will be devoted exclusively to Mendels sohn's " Elijah." On Thursday morning the pro gramme is a, lengthy one, comprising Spohr's over ture to " The Last Judgment," Beethoven's " Ser- vice in C," a selection from Handel's " Joshua," and Mendelssohn's " Hymn of Praise," a plen tiful musical repast for one morning. On Friday the never-tiring masterpiece of Han del—the " Messiah"—will be given. The even ing concerts are three in number—viz., to-night (Tuesday), on Wednesday, and on Thursday even ings. There is nothing new introduced either at these secular concerts or in the sacred music. The first part of the first secular concert consists of a selection from Weber's " Euryanthe," including the air " Flowers of the Valley" (Mdlle. Titiens) and " Soft airs" (Mr. Sims Reeves). The second part of this concert is made up of songs and concerted pieces from various operas. On Wednesday evening we have another selection—this time from Mozart's " Clemenza di Zito," followed by a miscellaneous second part; and the last concert on Thursday night is made up entirely of miscellaneous pieces, to supply which the works of Beethoven, Hullah, Schubert, Meyerbeer, Goss (we take them in the order in which they appear in the programme), Gounod, Rode, Maurer, Mendelssohn, Donizetti, Sullivan, Verdi, Mozart, and Haydn have been ransacked. This concert brings to a close the musical part of the festival, but there is a ball on Friday night, un der the management of the lay stewards. The list of stewards this year comprises the names of no less than 63 noblemen and gentlemen, including the Bishop of Worcester (President), Earl Coventry, Earl Beauchamp, Lord Sandys, Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, M.P., Hon. and Rev. Canon Fortescue, Hon. and Rev. J. W. Leigh, Sir E. Blount, Sir W. Throckmorton, Mr. Grant, M.P., Mr. Holland, M.P., Mr. Sheriff, M.P., Mr. Vernon, M.P., the Mayors of Worcester, Evesham, Kidderminster, and Stratford-upon-Avon. Dr. Williams is the hon. secretary to the festival, and, as may be supposed, has just now his hands pretty full. The festival is under the especial patronage of the Queen. The principal vocalists are Mdlle. Titiens, Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Madame Patey-Whytock, Mr., Sims Reeves, Mr. Cummings, Mr. Santley, and Mr. Lewis Thomas. Sainton and Blagrove lead the band, Dr. Wesley is the organist, Mr. G. Townshend Smith takes the piano, and Mr. Done is, by virtue of his office of organist of Worcester Cathedral, the conductor. The railway companies run special trains through out the week. The mortal remains of Mr. Cecil Martyn were consigned to their last resting-place yesterday at Jirompton Cemetery, iu the presence of numerous friends. The funeral cortege consisted of a bears,_,, followed by the mourners in three mourning coaches, comprising Lieutenant Cecil E. Martyn, Mr. J. L. Elliot, Mr. William Elliot, Col. Mountjoy Martyn, Mr. George Payne, and other personal friends of the deceased. THE LANCASHIRE INVITATIONS TO THE QUEE N .- Her Majesty has declined the invitation of the Corporation of Manchester to inaugurate the Albert memorial in that city on her journey southward next month. The Queen fears that the fatigue of the proceedings might be too much for her. At the same time she hears with pleasure of the completion of the memorial, and will ever cherish a grate ful recollection of the kelings by which its promoters were .impelled, It is conjectured that the Liverpool invitation for a similar visit contributed to influence her Majesty's reply to Manchester, as the Queen might shrink frOm the exertion of appearing at both places, or from giving offence by houourina one wore than the other, nrt- •Ciro' . 1° L L 1# • HER MAJESTY. ~-- BALMORAL, Saturday.

The official trial of the new screw sloop-corv ette Reindeer for Admiralty classification took place Ye 1 1" terday at the measured mile, near the Maplin San ds ' under the superintendence of the officials of Cilatil evi dockyard and the Steam Reserve, more than ordi nary interest being taken in the vessel's performance from the circumstance of the Reindeer being the firs t of the improved class of sloop-corvette in which the new composite of shipbuilding has been carried by the free use of iron in conjunction with wood. r r h° Reindeer was built from the designs of Mr. I. Wat ts ' the late Chief Constructor of the Navy.
