Thames-street, London. 6 d--Ited Bull Wharf, v 3, Upper STOKE-ON-TRENT, Monday. This afternoon his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales laid the foundation stone of the New Infir mary for North Staffordshire at " the Mount," near Stoke-on-Trent. This building is intended to re place the present North Staffordshire Infirmary at Etruria, which was-opened in 1819, and was erected at a cost of about £7,000, towards which £5OO was granted by the Prince Regent (George IV.) out of the revenues of the Duchy of Lancaster, to which the mines beneath belong. When it was built the site of the infirmary was as healthy and pleasant a spot as could anywhere be found in the neighbour hood of a manufacturing district, and, moreover, had the additional advantage of being central. At that time the staple of the Potteries was not produced to one-third of the present extent of the manufac ture, the iron trade had scarcely arisen, and mining was far away from the building. In 1840 exten sive ironworks were erected within 300 yards of the infirmary, and another set of blast furnaces were erected at a little further distance. Pottery manu factories increased in the neighbourhood, and min ing was gradually nearing the building, and has now approached to within about 100 yards of it. While the ironworks created an incessant noise day and night, aggravated at night by a mass of lurid flame, and clouded the atmosphere with black smoke—while heaps of calcined iron threw off, within 130 yards of the infirmary, sulphurous fumes strong enough to overpower healthy chil dren near them —the approach of mining opera tions caused the building to sink and crack, endan gering its safety, and rendering props and patches necessary. It was absolutely necessary to remove the infirmary, and after a discussion,which extended over two years rand a half, a strong objection being made to the removal, on account of the centrality of the present institution, it was decided to erect a new infirmary at The Mount, which has not the advan tage of being central, and where 10 acres of land were purchased for the site. The new infirmary will probably have a longer lease of life than the one which is to be sold. There is no coal beneath The Mount, but a solid substratum of red sandstone . , so while there is no fear of the infirmary being driven away by mining, there are no ironworks within miles of the spot, and no manufactories near enough to affect the salubrity of the atmosphere. The site is very elevated, and.commands extensive views of the surrounding picturesque country. The building will have a western frontage of 50 yards, and is de signed on the pavilion plan. The principal build ings will be arranged round a central garden court, 140 ft. long by 70ft. wide, surrounded by a glazed corridor, with an open terrace above, which connects all parts of the main building. Central blocks of buildings on the west and east sides of the court will contain chapel, board-room, library, operating theatre, surgeons' and matrons' rooms, &c. On the south side of the court will be the male sick wards, in three pavilions of two stories each ; and on the north sides will be the female wards ; on the west will be the accident and general, and on the east the medical wards. There will be another ward in the centre for " exceptional and burnt" cases, and several other wards are distributed about the build ing. The fever wards occupy a detached block, and the miscellaneous offices will occupy another detached block. Ample conveniences, as bath-rooms, fire plug, service -lift, &c., are provided, and the domes tic arrangements are also on a liberal scale. The wards will accommodate 191 beds, and the fever wards will have 1,875 cubic feet of space to each bed. The external appearance of the building will be plain, showing a natural constructive treatment of local materials (in brick) and a grouping of the several parts into a picturesque whole. The archi tects are Messrs. G. B. Nichols, of West Bromwich, and C. Lynam, of Stoke-on-Trent. The contract is for £26,964, andthe total cost of the infirmary (in eluding the purchase of the site) will be about £34,000. To-day has been observed as a holiday through out the district, and the inhabitants turned out en masse to view the ceremony, or to witness the arrival of the Royal party. It was arranged that they should pass through Stoke and Newcastle, and great preparations had been made in those towns to welcome his Royal highness and the Princess of \Vales, and the Duke of Edinburgh, who accom panied them. In Stoke triumphal arches and fes toons of flowers and evergreens extended along the streets a mile and a quarter ; and at Newcastle several triumphal arches were erected, and a colossal representation of the gateway of the old castle of the town, which spanned the road at the boundary of the borough, and under the archway of which the Royal party passed, while there was scarcely a house along the entire route which had not a liberal display of flags. The road from Trentham-hall, where their Royal Highnesses are on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland until Wednesday, to " the Mount," a distance of five miles, was lined with people, who cheered the Royal visitors most vociferously as they passed along. The Duke of Sutherland rode on horseback, and in open carriages followed the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duchess of Sutherland, Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Countess Grosvenor, the Countess of Macclesfield, the Bishop of Lichfield, General Knollys, Colonel Keppell, Lord Alfred Paget, the Eaft of Harrowby, Hon.

Yorke, Lord Albert Gower, Lord Bagot, the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, and Lady Bagot. he following is the result:— The Royal party were escorted from Trentham by the Newcastle and Potteries troop of yeomanry, and at Hartshill were received by the Ist battalion of the Staffordshire Volunteers, 1,000 strong, drawn up as a guard of honour. Near here, on a high slope, which commanded a full view of the cortege, about 8,000 school children were assembled, and they sung " God bless the Prince of Wales" as his Royal Highness and friends passed. The arrival at the site was signalled by a Royal salute of 21 guns, delivered by the Ist Staffordshire Artillery Volun teers, and the royal party were greeted by the mass of spectators assembled within the enclosure with enthusiastic cheers. The Prince of Wales was then conducted to a platform, and the Duke of Suther land read the following address : " May it please yourßoyalHighness,---Our loyal feelings find fuller expression in the hearty cheers of the multitudes assembled to greet your Royal Highness on this occasion than we can hope to convey in the formal language of a written address. Your Royal Highness comes among us, in compliance with our earnest wish, to lay the first stone of our new infirmary, and all will rejoice to recognise in this most gracious act the quick sympathy of their Prince with the humblest workman who may be exposed to any of the various acdidefits that are but too common in a mining and manufacturing district. It is the object of this house of mercy to provide more especially for sufferers of this class. The building will be erected at the cost of £34,000, and will meet the wants of a large number of indoor and outdoor patients. Large donations have already been received from residents in the neighbourhood, and various sums have been contri buted by the working population and children of the dis trict.

That Almighty God, the Lord of life and death, may have in His holy keeping, both for time and eternity, your Royal Highness and your illustrious consort is the sincere prayer of all the friends and supporters of the infirmary, with all our fellow -subjects of this favoured realm. "Signed, on behalf of the Committee of the North Staf fordshire Infirmary. " GRANVILLE.? His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied,—My Lord Duke, my Lords, and Gentlemen,—l thank you for this address, and for your kind expression and good will towards the Princess of Wales and myself. It is truly gratifying to us both to assist hi this day's work. A common sympathy has brought us together, and our proceedings derive more than usual interest frcm the combination of all classes to-day in alleviating the misery and suffering inci dental to a mining district. Where all have con tributed so nobly to so good a purpose, I may be permitted to offer a prayer, and it is that the Divine blessing may descend upon your undertak ing, and that your exertions may be rewarded with success. (Applause.) The Prince then proceeded to lay the stone in a cavity, in which were deposited a copy of the Times of the day, current coins, and copies of the local newspapers. The trowel, made by Hancock, of Burton-street, was a beautiful silver implement, and the mallet was the same as was used by George IV. when laying the first stone at the restoration of -Windsor Castle on the I:2th of August, Ifiti‘tv- The stone having been set., a special prayer was offered the Bishop of Lichfield, and the Hundredth Psalm (" All people ") was sung with splendid effect by a trained choir of 150 voices, accompanied by the band of the 'Volunteers. The R.W. Brother W. K. Harvey, P. G. M. of Staffordshire, then "proved the stone according to the ancient custom among Masons," and poured corn, wine, and oil upon the stone, with the usual Masonic prayers, the choir chanting as responses Psalm lxxii., 16, Psalm civ., 15, and Genesis xxxv., 14. An address by the P.G.M. and a prayer by the Chaplain, con cluded the the ceremony. The presentation of purses to the infirmary, an idea which had been warmly taken up in the district, followed. 159 purses were presented from persons and the work people of different establishments, producing a total sum of £1,420. Her Royal Highness graci ously undertook the duty of receiving the purses from the bearers, and when these had passed and handed in their offerings the National Anthem was sung, and the proceedings at the stone terminated. About 12,000 persons were present as spectators, among whom, in addition to those composing the Royal party, were—the Earl and Countess of Lich field, the Earl of Harrowby, Viscount and Lady Sandon, Sir E. M. Buller, M.P., Right lion. C: B. Adderley, M.P., Mr. Buckley, M.P., Alderman Copeland, &c. After the ceremony of laying the stone a luncheon was given in an adjoining tent. The Earl of Lich field presided, and proposed the toasts of " The Queen" and " The Prince and Princess of Wales," which were heartily drunk. The Prince of WALES said—Your Royal High ness, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen,—For the Princess of Wales and myself I return you my heart felt thanks for the very kind manner in which our health has been drunk, and for the way in which it has been received on this occasion. (Cheers.) The welcome we have received to-day will not early be effaced from our memories. (Cheers.) It is now our second visit to Staffordshire, and though we had not forgotten the kindness with which we were re ceived the first time, we are still more grateful for the way we have been received a second time. (Cheers.) Sincere pleasure has also been afforded us by the hope that our visit may have been pro ductive of some good. (Applause.) We have this day been engaged in a great and noble work—the laying the foundation stone of the North Stafford shire Infirmary. The building will, I hope, afford great relief to those who among the great popula tion of a mining district may require itwi shelter. (Loud cheers.) Although I fear that its wards may be often full, still I may express a hope that it may seldom be the case. (Cheers.) Let me now thank you once more for the kindness with which you have received us to-day, and say to all that we shall not easily forget this reception. (Loud cheers.) Lord IlannownY proposed " success to the North Staffordshire Infirmary," and the health of the Duke of Edinburgh was also drunk and briefly responded to by his Royal Highness. The Royal party returned to Trentham shortly afterwards. Zhe CLst of a General Flection. There are rumours, that there is to be a second general election within twelve months, and at such a time a glance at the cost of the last appeal to the country will be found of some interest. The return of each candidate's expenses was ordered to bo presented to Parliament soon after the opening of the present session. They have appeared in isolated batches from time to time. The last was issued on Friday, and although a large number of places, especially in Ireland, have furnished no returns, wo may still arrive at some definite idea of what the last general election cost the country. The expenses of each kingdom wore as follows : .£ s. d. .0 s. d. England—Counties BOO,lOB 0 7} „ Towns 304,069 19 8 —604,178 0 3± Ireland Counties 44,768 8 5 , Towns 24,603 16 Si 69,372 4 81 Scotland= Conn ties 32,244 12 1 Towns 17,743 4 7 49,987 16 8 Wales--Counties 12,095 5 4 Towns 4,211 18 11 16,307 4 3 Total cost 739,845 5 101 Dividing tho cost of the counties from that of the towns Counties X 389,216 6 5 T o wns The following places have not furnished any returns:— In England—the counties of Berks, Bucks, and Middle sex ; the boroughs of Bedford, Chichester, Dorchester, Shields, Warwick, Wells, and Worcester. In Wales—the county of Brecon, and the boroughs of Brecknock, Flint, Radnor, and Swansea. In Scotland—the county of Caith ness. In Ireland—the counties of Aimagh, Cavan, Clare, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Limerick, Meath, Roscommon, Tipperary, Tyrone, Waterford, Wicklow ; the cities of Cork and Kilkenny ; and the borough of Dundalk. Even in the returns which are given in many cases the elected members only, and not the unsuccessful candidates, publish their accounts. The official returns are, therefore, so far defective ; yet even from what they set forth the cost of a seat is the present Parliament may be assessed at a high rate. For instance, there are 147 county seats in England, and, as more than £300,000 was spent to obtain them, each is worth about £2,041. There are 320 borough seats in England, and they make up an aggregate cost of about £4,000 more than the counties. Each English borough seat is, therefore, worth £950. The fact that so many Irish counties have furnished no returns renders, the estimate of each county seat of little value, but, according to the i in formation we have, they are worth about £7OO a-pr e The borough seats in Ireland, as paid for last July, were at the rate of £630 each.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of ope-attowinherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a speciallte pertaining, only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth mull they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth fkom Si, Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

SIR,—As one of the council of the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain I know how much aeros tation at the present time is becoming more and more a subject of interest ; I therefore venture to give an account of an ascent that took place at Widsor, on Saturday, June 9, conducted entirely by two amateurs, and, to the best of my knowledge, one of the first that has taken place for very many years, with the excel 'on of the scientific ascent made by Mr. Glaisher, F.R.S., and myself a week or two ago. On Saturday last it was arranged that Mr. Glaisher and myself should maki.t another scientific ascent, but through unforeseen circumstances that gentle man was unable to accompany me, so I arranged to take Mr. Burnaby, one of my brother officers. At 5 20 p.m., the balloon being fully inflated and ready, under the superintendence of my aeronaut, Mr. Hampton, Mr. Burnaby and myself took our seats in the car and left the ground. We rose but slowly, according to my wish, and the wind, which was blowing in a N.N.E. direction at the rate of about 10 or 12 miles per hour, bore us gently over the river towards Eton. It is here worth while re marking that, while passing over the bright surface of the river, the diminution of radiation was so much that the upward course of the balloon was immedi ately checked, and the gas sufficiently condensed to cause her to descend. A small portion of ballast soon gave us an upward turn. We sailed right up the High-street of Eton, over the chapel, the school yard, and the playing fields, where I had but a few years ago enjoyed many a game of cricket, and now saw a match going on. • We were now 500 ft. from the ground, and slowly rising. At7ooft., just having left the playing fields about 100 yards, we let out a parachute from our car on Garnarin's principle, which at first descended very slowly and smoothly, but before it reached the ground (which was not until it had passed at least 500 yards over the railway to the west of Slough Station) it began to oscillate very violently. Not having Mr. Glaisher with me to make observations at high alti tudes it was my object this evening to try expe riments with the balloon near the earth, which might be useful when economy of gas and ballast is required for a long voyage, e.g., noticing the various causes of expansion and condensation of gas when passing over water, a valley, a hill, changing currents, the sun's rays, or their direct interception by a cloud and its density, a shower of rain, and various other causes. The river at Eton gave me a very good example of the condensation by water, as the density of the clouds at starting being the same when passing over the river could not be the cause. When passing over a valley I noticed each time that we rose the gas expanded, and the reverse effect when passing over a hill ; showing that the concave surface con centrated the rays of radiation on us, while the con vex dispersed them, the flat being the medium. We passed through various currents of air at the same altitude, which also caused a certain amount of con densation and expansion. Clouds of different den sity, and the direct sun's rays coming on the balloon, I also watched their effect ; but the most striking and ostensible effect of all was the immense degree of condensation caused by a slight shower of rain falling on the balloon, which caused her to descend so rapidly that, had we not been over 2,000 feet high, it would have been almost impossible to com pensate for the condensation by the throwing out of ballast before we should have reached the ground. This was caused not so much by the weight of water balloon, as by the cold pro duced thefa t wnafter it had f a ll en a ll ove r e p t o h r the surface of the balloon. There is another fact which I noticed, viz., that l fell on the rotatory motion of the balloon is caused in a measure by the netting acting as a screw through the air in the ascent and descent of a balloon, so that, if the netting can be so placed that the cordage comes straight, cutting the equator a t r i g ht a ngles, I firmly believe that this circular motion could be so much controlled that the car of a balloon might be used for photography. It was for these objects that I kept the balloon (as near as could be) at the same altitude, and especially to expend as little ballast as possible to prolong the trip. These observations, though they may seem of little importance generally, are very necessary when a balloon is required to be quietly managed for scientific observations. The highest we rose was 3,000 feet, and the result of the trip was much the same in its details as others. We passed over a lovely country and magnificent mansions between Eton, Slough, and Great Berk hamptead.'

At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. Tho Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhavo to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet.

Yesterday Major.-General Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.8., commanding the Chatham district, made his half -yearly inspection of the Royal Artillery quartered at Chatham, consisting of B field battery, 4th Brigade. In the early part of the day Sir R. Walpole inspected the quarters of the troops in the North-square, Brompton barracks, and was after wards engaged in the examination of the books, accounts, and official records of the battery. In the afternoon the whole of the officers and men were drawn up on the review ground, Chatham lines, witlrtheir field Armstrong 12-pounders, ammuni tion waggons, &c., under the command of Lieut.- Col. N. 0. S. Turner, and on the arrival of Major- Gen. Sir Robert Walpole, attended by his staff, the battery went through an extended course of move ments, the guns being served with blank cartridge. After the customary manceuvres, which were pro longed until late in the afternoon, and in the exe cution of which both officers and men acquitted themselves very satisfactorily, the troops were dis missed to their quarters. . _ In accordance with orders received yesterday at Chatham, the depot companies of the Ist and 2d battalions of the 20th Regiment and those of the Royal Madras Fusiliers will leave the garrison on SaturJay next and proceed to Shorncliffe, at which station a new depot battalion is to be formed con sequent on the removal of the depot battalions from Ireland. A very interesting field-day was held yesterday morning at Woolwich. There took part in it the - whole - of the Royal karine forCe, in command of Col.

The New York Tribune considers that the great question of the present year is reconstruction. To secure Reconstruction on the basis of justice and freedom is the task which the party which con quered in the campaigns of 1860 and 1864 has now to perform. The report begins with adverting briefly to the course the committee found it neces sary to adopt. They had been directed by a resolu tion of Congress to inquire into the condition of the Confederate States, and report whether they were entitled to representation in Congress. The former of these points admitted of no dispute. The South was in a state of utter exhaustion. Congress hav ing failed to provide for the contingency, the duty of the President was obvious. He had no power except to execute the laws of the land and to esta blish, as far as he could, a system of government. All his acts were those of a military commander, but no authority was given him by the law over the subject of reconstruction. On the meeting of Con gress in December, the President officially an nounced the organization of local governments, and urged the readmission of the late rebel States. With regard to this recommendation, Congress must either have acted blindly upon the opinion of the President, or proceeded to collect for itself the necessary information. The latter course was chosen. Its first duty was to call upon the Presi dent for the information in his possession as to what had been done. The information, which was not communicated until six weeks after the Com mittee had been in actual session, appeared to the Republican members of the committee incomplete and unsatisfactory. Under these circumstances it appeared that but one course remained—viz., to investigate thoroughly and carefully the state of feeling among the people of the Southern States, and hence to infer whether it was safe to readmit them to Congress. To obtain this information the Committee had recourse to the examination of wit nesses whose position had given them the best means of forming an accurate judgment. The re sults of this examination have been heretofore pub lished. The report of the Committee next pro ceeds to examine the claims of the South for readmission to Congress. All discussion of the question whether the recovered States are out of or within the Union is waived, and the report assumes as beyond dispute that the people of the Rebel States had in fact withdrawn from the. Union and made themselves subjects of another Government. The Government of the United States had un doubtedly a right to exact indemnity for the in juries done, and security against their recurrence in the future ; otherwise the Government would be powerless for its own protection. The Government had equally the duty to protect those in the South who had remained true and loyal. The Com mittee was unable to find in the information ob tained any satisfactory proof that it was safe to re admit any of the seceded States to their former position in Congress, except, perhaps, the State of Tennessee. With the evidenee before them it is the opinion of the Committee that the Rebel States were, at the close of the war, disorganised com munities ; that Congress cannot be expected to re cognise as valid the election of men from such com munities; and that before their admission to a par ticipation in the Government Congress must pro vide such constitutional or other guarantees as will tend to secure the civil rights of all citizens of the Republic, a just . equality of representation, pro tection against claims founded in rebellion and crime, and, at least, a temporary restriction of the right of suffrage to men of undoubted loyalty. The Committee, therefore, reaches the conclusion that the so-called Canfederate States are not at present entitled to representation in the Congress of the United States ; that before allowing such representation, adequate security for future peace and safety should be required ; that this can only be found such changes of the organic law as shall determine the civilrights and privileges of all citi zens in all parts of the Republic , shall place re" presentation on a n equ it a bl e basis, shall fix a stigma upon netreaspeople against of rebellion, and for ma numitted slaves, to g ether claimson, f a o n r d a p e ro ex te i c v t as th es e l in oy e al urred in support with an e xpress gra nt in Congress to enforce these f or amending the Constitu on, the same into effect.

FATAL INUNDATION IN A. COAL FIT.—On Satin day morning two men named Clegg, father and son, who had been engaged during the preceding night in the Ruff bank pit, near Rochdale, did not ascend the shaft at the expiration of their term of labour. Fears for their safety were aroused, and on an inspection of the pit being made it was found that it had been inundated by tha rush of a quantity of water from an adjacent old mine. Thirteen men were set to work to clear away the mud and the rail, which had been torn up by the flood of water, and drifted towards the Tunshill colliery. Shortly after one o'clock the body of the boy was found about 250 yards from where he and his father had been working, but up to a late hour in the evening the other body was not recovered.
