There are others who ask why at the instant of victory—say rather at the climax of starvation—for the North Stafford shire men had got down to is. sd. each per week, so great did the co-operative sympathy show itself—tho masters should give way ? But surely noblesse oblige —the stronger should give way to the weak—the richer to the poorer— just as those, who have to care for children, disregarding their little pi-Alliances, go on to conduct them to their good, unheeding small offences. " Respect the Emperor," cried his jealous suite, when on a narrow hill-path in St. Helena the great exile was confronted by a porter carry ing a large trunk. "Respect tho burden," said the Em peror, stepping aside to let the man pass more readily. It is with this feeling of regard for the burden that the masters have been actuated in their recent conduct. We trust the forbearance will be appreciated and not over tasked. For ourselves, we persist in our original proposi tion—the deadliest enemies of the men in this district are their unions; with these there is only ono way to deal. Thoroughly sift their accounts and diminish their funds by every fair and legal means. By the first it will become known how shamefully they have been mismanaged; by the second their funds, their power of mischief, will be destroyed. Take away the money and there will be no paid orators, no spouting, no travelling from district to district to beat up commotion. There is an insect in pond waters which has two heads, with one of which it stirs up a perpetual agita tion, to create bubbles that it sucks in with the other, and so: gets its living on perpetual whirl and worry. This is the delegate. Now, the whole machinery of a benefit club, from which, as a point, the unions first started, and on the original basis of which their power is constituted actually, is supplied at the present moment with greater advantages and at a cheaper rate, only with one exception, by the Go vernment in the Post-office deposit banks and the new life assurance and provision for old age, both by weekly pay ments. Here we have the burial club and the provident fund. In their sick fund alone have the unions an ad vantage. Let there be a subscription for a guarantee fund to this purpose, and lot " Gladstone Clubs" be opened offering provision for life and death and health, based on Government security for the two former and a guarantee fund for the latter. By this means the ground will be en ' tirely cut away on which the union funds are built up. We shall have much pleasure in assisting and advising to wards the wholesome end. The men are going in ; the delay until Monday evening, in some instances, entirely arising from the fact of there not being time to get the fur naces ready for the puddlers so as to make wages for them for the Saturday; hence they prefer to make a clear week by commencing on Monday. It may serve as an instance of the little faith to be placed in the honesty and directness of the executives of these unions to mention that great efforts were made by the Gateshead Union to prevent peace in North Staffordshire. Amemorial—said to have been signed by the nortorioue Kane, on behalf the body over which he is president—was presented on Thursday night to a meeting of the Brierley Union. In this precious document it was sug gestedtshoupupgohrtththeye d' North Staffordshire strike, considered themselves as qu it e ,werepltehdagtetdhtue men the o n f o t rth he e n ru ort ma h ofst masters sngulaot to n free to give every assistance to lthe South Staffordshire men if they would consent to turn the lock-out into a strike, and help to aid in carrying the North Staffordshire proposi tion. The Brierly men, however, had experienced quite enough, and voted to resume work, but postponed doing so until Monday evening. frem being workmen themselves, had in a few years grown to be millionaires. Let the men be true to themselves and their order, and they would soon obtain a much fairer remu neration than they were now being paid. A court of arbitra tion would be one of the means to this end. Hefelt satisfied that by it, if they should not succeed in getting back the ls. which was last taken off them, they Would certainly got half of it. (Cheers.) He would pledge his honour, yea, his soul, that before such a tribunal facts could bo adduced that would for ever destroy the scale of remuneration originally laid down by Mr. G. B. Thortioycroft. (Cheers.) While, therefore, he did not say, "Stand out till you can get the 15.," ho did say, " Don't go in till you have got a court of arbitration." (Cheers.) A third PUDDLER felt pleasure in supporting the motion, not because be wished to see the ironworkers of Wolver hampton out of employment, and their wives and children wanting bread, but because he wanted to feel sure there was a certainty of their obtaining that employment and that bread in the future. That, however, would not be un less they availed themselves of the present opportunity of securing a court of arbitration and a code of rules for guid ance in the future. (Hear, hear.) If such a court should be obtained, one of the greatest blessings that had ever hap pened to the forgemen of Wolverhampton would ensue. (Hear, hear.) And if they obtained it for Wolverhampton, it might be made applicable to the whole of South Stafford shire. Because, therefore, of the greater good, he advocated the lesser evil of remaining from work for a time. The time had gone by when the men were afraid of speaking even to the managers. There were now men in their body who could meet and in an intelligible manner advocate the cause of their follows with their masters. (Hear, hear.) Their parents had submitted to sacrifices to give them an education, and it would be a shame if they were not now able to converse with their employers. If, however, as was stated, the men were insufficiently educated to reason with their masters, the latter would have tho advantage in the discussions which would take place at the laying down of the rules. But ho had no fear on this point. (Hear.) The day was gone by when a puddler would work for 7s. or 7s 6d. a ton. (Hear, hear.) If they had a court of arbitration he was sure that no sensible being would allow them to work at less than 10s. a ton. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried by acclamation. It had been understood that Mr. Samuel Griffiths was ready to address the meeting in explanation of the resolutions Which he proposed at the open-air meeting at Bilston, and which the Wolverhampton puddlers had condemned. When the meeting assembled they determined to invite Mr Griffiths to speak after disposal of the business of the day. A messenger was now sent to another part of the inn at which the meeting was being held, and he returned with Mr. GRIFFITHS, who was cheered on entering the room, He denied that he was moved in proposing the resolutions by any other motive than that of benevolence towards the great number of persons who were suffering by the lock out.

WoLvEuttmerros, Saturday. To-day a meeting of considerable importance, in con nexion with the present dispute in the, iron trade of Staf fordshire, was held in this town. Before the lock-out was withdrawn, the Wolverhampton puddlers determined that, whatever might be the decision of the masters at their recent meeting, they would not resume work until they had held the meeting of to-day. The meeting was attended by about 130 puddlers, all unionists, and it lasted nearly three hours. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, mid that on that day five weeks a gloom overhung them, because of the commencement of the lock-out, but the cloud was now dis persed and sunshine was overhead and around. The termi nation of the lock-out found, the men more united than ever, but this couldanot be said of the masters ; and he hoped that all such counsels as those upon which the lock-out was based would ever meet with similar failure. (Cheers.) But as the men were to meet their masters again face to face, he trusted that all bad feelings would be annihilated—that from their mind' and hearts all bad thoughts and feelings would be driven into oblivion for ever. (Hear, hear.) Men must move with the times, and no longer indulge those thoughts and feelings, nor use those expressions relative to their employers which were occasionally heard, but which when they were indulged in were a serious reflection upon not only the individual, but also the order to which he belonged. (Hear.) The ironworkers must show them selves respectable men, and by their temperate words and conduct exhibit their growth in intelligence and education. (Cheers.) He now invited free expression of sentiment. A PUDDLER said that the present time was a crisis in their history. The masters locked them out because they could not believe them ; and now that they found they could not subdue them, they wished to extract from them the promise which when they first made it they refused to accept. The masters had, however, lost their opportunity. They declined to take the pledge which their men gave, and now, the men claimed to be absolved from that pledge. (Cheers.) Their masters had shown a want of confidence in them. He should now, therefore, desire to have matters placed upon so sure - a basis for the future that henceforth neither master nor man could have occasion to be led into so serious a step as a strike or a lockout as the result of an uncertainty in respect of the principles and regulations by which both ought to be guided. (Cheers.) He held in his hand a code of rules which had just been adopted between the master builders of Wolverhampton and the joiners of that town at a court of arbitration presided over by Mr. Rupert Kettle, the Judge of the County court of Worcester, Dudley, and Droitwich. By the adoption of those rules the joiners had secured an increase of wages, their masters had had certain rights secured to them, the necessity for future strikes in that branch of trade no longer existed, and both sides were not only satisfied, but were even gratified. Such a happy result in reference to the ironworkers of Wolver hampton was, he thought, not unlikely to follow the present disastrous dispute between their masters and themselves. (Cheers.) Why should not a code of rules be drawn up be tween the ironworkers and their masters, with a competent umpire presiding, which should have the force of law in all future disputes, and by the terms of which all ordinary questions between them might be solved? (Cheers.) Hitherto the contents had been decided, not by the great principles of right and wrong, but by an appeal to mere brute force, in which the stronger won the battle. So unintellectual and so debasing a course ought no longer to be practised—(hear)—and he for one was not prepared to return to work until a repetition of such a state of things was improbable in respect of the future relations of the ironmasters and ironworkers of Wolverhampton. (Hear.) The puddler ought no longer to be compelled, when he wanted any right conceded to him to have to "put on his clothes." (Hear, hear.) If the joiners of Wolverhampton and their masters could lay down their rules for preventing such proceedings in their trade he thought the ironworkers could do the same in reference to their calling. (A voice— "So do I.") Further, he thought the ironworkers were just now in that position by virtue of which they could re quire that their masters should consent to a court of arbi tration for the settlement of all future disputes. (Cheers.) And, as Lord Lichfield had made himself so useful and had shown so great interest in trying by arbitration to bring about a settlement of the. dispute in the northern portion of that county, might they not reasonably hope that the Lord Lieu tenant would afford his good offices in furtherance of the establishment of a permanent court of arbitration ? He did not want to go to work until he knew what would be the conditions of labour to which he should be subjected in the future. (Renewed cheers.) He wanted something binding—a sot of rules which could be enforced in a court of justice. (Cheers.) When disputes arose now a-days if the men had the power they forced the masters to yield ; but if their masters were most powerful then they forced the men to yield. Away with such a state of things for the future ! Henceforth the appeal should be "to the law and to the testimony." (Cheers.) He should like to propose that "the ironworkers of Wolverhampton do not return to work ,until our masters understand what we re quire, and we understand how are masters intend to act." (Loud cheers.) It was to him a great source of gratification that the men had been firm to their principles—that all through the struggle they had not shown the "white fea ther"—and that at the end of a five weeks' lock-out they were found more than ever united, and with a determina tion unpreceientedly strong to abide by their union. (Cheers.) He begged to move that they should not return to work until their masters had consented to a court of ar bitration for the settlement of all disputes in the future. (Cheers.)

Mr. GRIFFITHS, in another speech, said he was glad that they had determined to have a court of arbitration, but ho was sorry that they had resolved not to resume work until the court was established, for a delay of several weeks would be sure to ensue. He would respectfully suggest that they should go to work while the arrangements for establishing a court were being continued. (Cheers.) The former speakers consented, and the mover of the re solution said, although the masters would not take their word, yet they would take their masters' word. If their masters would give them a pledge that a court of arbitra tion should be established, they would go to work at once upon the faith of that promise. Some considerable discussion then arose as to the moans to be used to obtain that promise. The CHAIRMAN suggested that as Lord Lichfield had stood their friend hitherto, he would doubtless be ready to continue his aid in the service of peace. His lordship's position also, as lord-lieutenant of the county, would give his services great weight. He begged to suggest to the meeting that they should confer with the lord-lieutenant upon this point. The speakers and Mr. Griffiths conferred together, and Mr. GRIFFITHS said that as time was urgent, and as Lord Lichfield was not in the town, he would suggest that a de putation should be appointed from that meeting to wait upon the Mayor of 'Wolverhampton to solicit him to accom pany them to the different masters, if possible, that afternoon. The deputation was appointed, and the proceedings were adjourned until Monday and Tuesday next. If the promise of the ironmasters which the men required had by that time been obtained, then it was agreed that work should be re sumed ; but if the masters declined to give the promise,then the original resolution would- remain in force, and the men remain out until a court of arbitration had been established. The proceedings terminated with votes of thanks, passed amid repeated cheering, to Mr. Griffiths and the press. (From Rylamb' Iron Trade Circular.) The Iron Trado.—ln the market held on the day after the " lock-out" was withdrawn—just as on that of the day, previous —there was not any hurry in buying either pigs or manufactured iron ; nor was there, indeed, any greater excitement exhibited in demand at the termination than at the commencement of what has been everywhere regarded as the most important crisis that has happened in the iron trade. The men may yet have to learn the hard lesson that it is one thing for the masters to open their works and an other to keep them going. This is just the trying point of the employer who too often has to keep his works going solely from consideration for his workmen, hoping, sometimes against hope, for a rally in prices. How the co-operative sys tem so much spoken of just now would carry on under similar circumstances has yet to be tested. We heard many parties in our market stating that they had just sufficient orders for a week or so, and others complaining that they had none at all at their works—not an order to begin with. It is plain that there was no need for haste in. closing the strike or lock out as far as the order-books were concerned, so that this may be taken as a proof of the goodwill of the masters to wards their workmen and their wish to relieve the men from the painful and distressing condition of the last month. The South Staffordshire masters have not for one instant flinched from the course adopted in the original resolu tion. The north of England masters anticipated a suc cessful result from Lord Lichfield's mediation at Stoke, and having, just at the same period of time, brought their men to a concession and driven the union of the district to the humiliation of signing a document repudiating all aid to the North Staffordshire strike, which they origi nally had fomented, came to an arrangement to reopen their works on the presumption that a similar course would have been carried out in North and South Staffordshire. That it was not so, and that the movement of the northern masters was mistaken by the men and misrepresented by the unions as one in their favour, is well known. But in the meantime the question had assumed a new phase ; the lock-out had sufficiently demonstrated how the power of unions could be made more injurious to the men than the masters, so as to render future strikes less probable, and probably almost impossible, since even the executives would pause before periling the total cutting off of their supplies at one blow, and the men would be less inclined to face general disaster, with the certainty of an universal poverty. Thencefortha continuance of the lock-out would have been useless cruelty; and an obdurate obstinacy of pride on the part of the South Staffordshire masters. There remained, however, a difficulty in the solution, from which it was only in the power of the North Staffordshire masters to re lease them. The common "sense view of the question, sug gested in our last, was therefore adopted. The North Staf fordshire masters determined to deal with their own men on the laissez faire principle. They left them to do as they liked, and to find employment elsewhere, while, for their own part, they released the South Staffordshire masters from the mutual obligation. Upon this the South Stafford shire masters, having in the interim received a voluntary declaration from the executives of the Brierly-hill Union, that the North Staffordshire men would not be supported, either directly or indirectly, passed, at Wolverhampton on Wednesday, the resolution embodied in the following notice, which was printed and posted at the different works : "At a meeting of the iron trade of South Staffordshire, held at Wolverhampton on Wednesday, the sth of April, 1865, it was resolved : Another PUDDLER said he rose with great pleasure to second the motion. (Hear, hear.) They wore living in an ago of reform and progress, and if they were to keep pace with the times they must bo "up and doing." Their masters had pledged themselves to support tho North Staffordshire masters. If the masters of South Stafford shire pledged themselves to support the masters of the north of the county to keep them (tho North Staf fordshire masters) up, was it not fair that the South Staffordshire men should pledge themselves to support the men who, in North Staffordshire, were trying to keep them (the men of South Staffordshire) up ? (Enthusiastic cheer ing.) The Wolverhampton puddlers had shown how much they appreciated such views, for while men had gone to work in some other districts he appealed to the meeting to say if any puddling furnaces had been started in the Wol verhampton district ? (No.) On these grounds, then, he seconded the motion. If the North Staffordshire men should have to go in on masters' terms, there was every probability that if work was resumed in South Staffordshire without some understanding being come to, such as that suggested in the motion, there would soon be another strike. (Hear.) Ho saw it stated that if it had not been for the lock -out tho price of iron would by this time have been reduced. If the trade should not improve before another quarter, and prices should be declared down, he supposed that a notice would be given for the reduction of wages. That notice, however, ho was quite sure would be resisted (hear, hear)--and there would be another turn-out with all its painful consequences. The lock -out was the best thing that had ever occurred in England for the puddlers. (Cheers.) It had greatly strengthened and it would tend to extend and to perpetuate their union. Such a result it had been shown had attended all such proceedings in refe rence to other trades in times past. After the opposition to which they had been subjected the Amalgamated Engi th they Engi neers had bolted round the world with their union. (Cheers.) And if the ironworker s could not got a court of y Would h ave on l y to s h a k o have branch es of their union in every p hands s f ht o t iwitho h un e l,d wtthwoherehl then ironworkersen he of Fran ce an d B e l g i um, an d whore iron was produced. (Cheers.) He could not understand how it was that the continental iron masters could produce iron at so much lower a price than it was sold in England, unless it was that they were satisfied with much less profit than would content the English iron masters. (Cheers.) The speaker then proceededto combat some statements that ho said had been made by Messrs. Knight and Udall, of North Staffordshire, to the effect that puddling was not more laborious now than in years gone by, and that it was not an unhealthy occupation. He con tended that it was now more than ever laborious, and ad duced as a proof of its unhealthiness that throughout the whole of South Staffordshire not 100 puddlers could be found who were still following their occupation and were above 50 years of ago. He and another of his fellows would to meet Messrs. Knight upon any public platform upon these two points. (Cheers.) If, then, the occupation of the pud dler prematurely disabled him, ought he not to be remune rated while he could work with that rate of Wages which would enable bins to live during his disablement in a state of comparative comfort ? (Cheers.) What, however, was ho now receiving ? Not the wages which, as given by the gentlemen he had named, formed the exception, but,taking the average of the last several years, were only a net £1 ss. a week. (Cheers.) The men did not expect the masters to employ their capital without derivin g profit, and a good profit too ; but they did say that the puddlers ought not to be kept on such low wages when their masters wore amass "That the ironmasters of North Staffordshire have, by their trade resolutions of April 3, 1865, released this district from the undertaking entered into with the men on the 16th of February, 1865, and believing the assurance given by the men of South Staffordshire that they disapprove the con duct of the North Staffordshire men, and that they will not assist them, directly or indirectly, during the continuance of the present strike, it is hereby resolved that the works in the South of Stafford be reopened this sth day of April, 1865. " Wolverhampton, April 5.' "Pursuant to the above resolution, those works aro now declared open. u Thus has ended the "great lock-out f" Such a result has, of course, been met with the outcry that if this—the statu quo ante, the more return to "as you were"—be all that has been achieved, what was the use of the hard knocks and bruises mutually given and received? That it has been sow ing the wind to reap the whirlwind; and that a mutual dis affectionletween masters and man can bo the only conse quence. The article from the Times funishes a sufficient reply to such objections. The whole movement has been what in:military language has been termed a reconnaissance, by which a demonstration is made in force by the one party, to test the means of resistance of the other, and dis cover their points of defence and a ttack. In this instance it has been found that the unions by themselves are powerless, and that any aid to them from the outside will not be suffi cient, and need not be taken into consideration. At the same time it became apparent that the remedy is worse than the disease, anti that U anything could In more cligtreouig than ing such immense fortunes as they saw were being aCCU ululated.

QUEENSTOWN, APRIL 9. The Royal Mail steamship Africa arrived at 9.20 p.m., with 90 passengers and plo in specie. She landed 123 sacks of mails and three passengers, and proceeded at 9.35 p.m. All well. NEW YORK, MARCH 28 (Evening). It is officially announced that before daylight on the 25th, three Confederate divisions under General Gordon made a sudden and determined attack on Fort Steadman, in front of Petersburg, overpower ing the garrison, capturing the fort, and turning the guns upon the Federals. A battery close by was also captured, but quickly re-taken. The Confe derates also attacked Fort Askell, but were repulsed with great loss. The Federals on either flank main tained their ground. Reinforcements arriving, they charged, drove out the Confederates, and re occupied Fort Steadman, capturing numbers of prisoners. The guns of the fort were found un injured. The second and sixth corps pushed forward, cap tured the Confederate entrenchments, and turned them upon the Confederates, who made unsuccess ful efforts to retake them. The battle lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. The loss on both sides was heavy. Grant esti mates that the slaughter of the Confederates at the point where they entered the Federal lines was 3,000 men. He captured 1,800 prisoners. The Federal loss in killed, wounded, and missing was 2,000 men, including General M'Laughlin, who was taken prisoner. Despatches from General Sherman to the 22d inst. state that he had had severe fighting since leaving Fayetteville, with very heavy loss to the enemy in killed and wounded. He had captured over 2,000 prisoners. His loss since leaving Savannah amounted to 2,500 men, many of whom were only slightly wounded. The army will now rest. General Schofield announces his occupation of Goldsboro' on the 21st. He met with slight opposi tion. General Terry would probably reach Golds boro' the same night. According to unofficial de spatches, a portion of Sherman's forces from Fayetteville flanked and overpowered the Confede rates at Mount Olive on the 21st. The Confederates retreated in confusion towards Smithfield. The FederaLs claim that the engagement at Averys boro' on the 16th was a victory for Sherman, and that after a temporary repulse at Bentonville on the 19th, they drove back Johnston, who retreated on the 20th across the Neuse River. Sheridan's whole force crossed the James Riier at Deep,Bottom on the 26th to join Grant. The movement against Mobile commenced on the 17th, the Federals moving towards Secours, and also from Barrancas, had occupied Pescaguala. The Confederate Secretary of the Treasury has proposed to hypothecate to the banks and capitalists 50,000 bales of Government cotton at 20 cents. the pound, with the privilege of exportation, as se curity for a loan of 3,000,000 dots in specie. The Federals have destroyed the privateer schooner Anna Dale, in Malagorda Bay. The Confederate steamer Owl, Captain Maffitt, has cleared from Havana for Matamoras. It is be lieved she is going to Galveston to be fitted out as a privateer. Robert J. Walker has written a letter, denying that he was visiting Canada to promote the annexa tion of that country to the United States. The America and Virginia have arrived out. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, March 30 (Evening). General Lee's report of the attack on Fort Stead man states that he captured 9 guns, 8 mortars, and 500 prisoners, amongst whom were a brigadier general and a number of of f icers. He swept the Federal lines from left to right for a distance of 500 yards. Two efforts to recover the captured works were handsomely repulsed, but, finding that the enclosed works in the rear could only be taken at a great sacrifice, the troops were withdrawn to their original position. As it was impossible, how ever, to remove the guns, they were disabled. Lee says his loss was not heavy. The troops behaved very well. The entrenchments captured by Grant consisted of an advanced Confederate picquet line, which he still holds. The Confederates unsuccessfully attempted to reoccupy the line on the 27th. Northern correspondents state that Lee's troops fight with undiminished enthusiasm. Northern accounts of the battle at Bentonville state that on the 19th two Federal divisions were driven back two miles, losing three guns. The Fe derals were reinforced on the 20th, and on the 21st drove the Confederates through Smithfield, in the direction of Raleigh, capturing 10 guns and from 5,000 to 7,000 prisoners. Southern accounts of the fighting on. the 20th and 21st state that it consisted of heavy skirmishing in which the Federal attacks were repulsed. John ston brought off all the wounded. On the 20th, Sherman's, Schofield's, and Terry's armies were at Goldsboro' refitting. The Richmond Sentinel declares that Sherman has been forced to take up a fortified position, and was acting on the defensive. Johnston's army was full of enthusiasm. Sherman arrived at City Point on Monday, and held a council of war there with Lincoln, Grant, and Sheridan. It is reported that a movement by Grant's army commenced immediately afterwards. Lincoln's visit to City Point has caused the revival of peace rumours, it being asserted that Lee, convinced of his inability to hold Richmond, had renewed his request for a military peace con ference. General Dix has prohibited all travellers except emigrants from entering the United States by sea without passports. The old issue of 7-30's has been fully subscribed for. The new issue will commence immediately. Sherman issued an order, dated 22d, near Ben tonville, stating that the concentrated armies of the enemy had, on the 21st, been beaten on their chosen ground, and were fleeing in disorder, leaving their dead and wounded, and burning the bridges in their retreat. On the same day Schofield occupied Goldsboro'. The campaign has resulted in a glori ous success. The steamers Asia, City of Manchester, and Damascus have arrived out. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines. It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic service, and provides a home free of expense for former inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the temptations they might otherwise be exposed to. The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the recent storms and loss of life at sea, and to enable them eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000 sa..lors annually by casualties alone, without including those who may perish by war. Subscriptions thankfully received by the bankers, Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre tary, at the Offices, No. 77, Cornhill. R. SWEETTNG, Hon. Sac. CHARLES NASH, Sec.

BERLIN, April 8. The following is a synopsis of the Commercial Treaty concluded at this capital between the Austrian Plenipotentiaries, on the one hand, and the repre sentatives of Prussia, Bavaria, and Saxony, as dele gates 'of the Zollverein, upon the other : " The arrangements comprehend a Commercial Treaty and a Customs' cartel. Two annexes are appended to the first, stating the goods the impor tation of which into the two contracting States is to be henceforth free or subjected to reduced duties. A third annex (C) contains the text of the Customs' cartel. Lastly, two separate notes contain certain stipulations which could not be inserted in the main document without danger of interfering with the liberty of the contracting parties in ulterior negoti ation with foreign Powers. The preamble of the Commercial Treaty states the object of the contract ing parties as being to open the way to a general Customs' union throughout Germany. " Art. 1 stipulates the suppression of the prohi bitive system, either upon entry, exit, or transit, unless for tobacco, gunpowder, and playing cards, and reserving the prohibitions demanded by reasons of police, or, in extraordinary cases, by the neces sities of war. " By Art. 2 the contracting parties engage that neither will grant any facilities in entry, exit, and transit duties to other States, unless the same ad vantages should be rightfully acquired by the other contracting party, and without its being bound to make any compensation. From this clause are ex cepted the facilities now or to be granted to States union with one of the contracting parties. This exception applies equally to the advantages granted to other States by virtue of anterior treaties ex pressly interdicting the extension of these facilities to others. Nevertheless, these facilities shall notbe granted to these States in a more extended degree, even after the expiration of these treaties. " Art. 3 appoints the Ist of July next for the time when the facilities reciprocally granted to the exchanges of the two countries upon the basis of the free entry of unmanufactured natural products shall come into force, as well as the tariff stipulated by the treaty for industrial products. Austria engages in every case not to levy higher duties upon the goods specified in annexes A and B than those agreed upon, in the immediate passage of free commerce from one country to the other. " Art. 4 agrees that in case, pending the duration of the present treaty, one of the contracting parties should think fit to lower the tariff of entry duties upon goods specified in the annexes, each party re serves to itself the right of only admitting the same goods on the footing actually agreed to upon pro duction of a certificate of origin. " Art. 5 suppresses the export duty levied on the part of the Zollverein upon rags and paper rem nants, and upon the part of Austria upon rags, leather remnants, bones, and, generally, the resi duum of animal matter. ,4 Art. 6 establishes free entry and exit duties -Ist, upon all goods intended to be sold at fairs with out entering directly into commerce, except upon articles subject to octroi ; 2d, upon cattle belonging to one or other of the two countries which has been brought to fairs and removed :without being sold; 3d, upon unbleached stuff intended to be washed, blanched, finished, calendered, dyed, And printed ; thread for sewing and making lace, leather and skins for tanning or dressing, and generally upon all pro ducts imported for the purpose of being worked, prepared, improved, and exported after having un dergone such process. ‘i Arts. 7 to 10 state the measures to be taken to facilitate Customs formalities between the two coun tries. " Art. 11 suppresses the right of stations and the taxes consequent thereon. "Arts. 12-14 regulate the measures intendei to facilitate maritime and pluvial navigation. " Arts. 15-17 apply similar facilities to commerce along roads and railways. " Art. 18 grants reciprocal facilities to the subjects of the contracting parties for the exercise of profes sions and trades upon the territory of either. "Arts. 19-21 reproduce the ordinary stipula tions as to the reciprocal admission of consuls an d the regulation of their duties. "Art. 22 formally declares that the stipulations of the treaty do not apply to provinces which' a lthough belonging to one or oth er o f the contract ing States, are outside the general CuStoms' zone of the country. " Arts 23 and 24 refer to certain formalities. it Art. 25 states that after July 1, 1865, the treaty shall supersede that signed Feb. 19, 1853, and shall continue in force until Dec. 31, 1877. It adds that the high contracting parties reserve to themselves the liberty of carrying on negotiations to grant each other ulterior advantages for facilitating reciprocal commerce, as well as to arrive at the completest possible approach of the respective tariffs, and more especially to settle the question of a General Cus toms' union. As soon as one or other of the con tracting parties consider the opportune moment for resuming negotiations to hi 'e arrived, it shall make CRYSTAL PALACE.—WET or DRY.— Always charming.—TO-MORROW (Tuesday).
