'The Austrians are one conducting their affairs with anything like discretion, and neither misfor tune nor experience seems likely to impress them favourably. Hungary now thr ea t ens to be the s'..:etie of their disasters, and all e- 1 Nneoce and exhortation arc thrown away upon the Vienn a G o _ vernment. Last Sunday most unwarrantable steps were taken concerning the former memb ers of the Hungarian Legion, who had been dismissed from the Prussian service. After being dismissed by the Prussian Government they proceeded (the second division) on their way, but learned at Oderberg that the first had been arrested and remained in custody by the Austrian authorities. Therefore they took another route to Hungary, while some returned to Prussia. Such conduct is unwise in the last degree, for it will tend to provoke every one, and of course it is a direct affront to the Prussians. It is much to be regretted that more consideration should not have been shown by these who are already in so precarious a position themselves, but we do not regard the act as so miochieyous andshort-sighted -------'-:--:---:-: res pecting •Frussia as it is suicidal relating to Hun gary. Nothing is more likely to confuse trnhienings in that country than to find that these bers of the Legion have been so ill-treated. We consider it as the sign and token of worse‘to come; it seems to show that die Austrian authori ties have determined to stop short of nothing that can gain them their point, or that they believe can gain it for them. It will be long before the nations of Europe see the last of this confusion that has arisen in Germany ; and we may safely predict that the next stage in the affair will be a serious disagree ment between Austria and Hungary. With proper management and timely care this might have been prevented; but if people will persist in following their own desires, totally unmindful of consequences, they must expect to reap a bitter harvest. The only chance for Austria at the pre sent time would be to strike out in a new line, and to eschew those domineering ways, and ab jure those tyrannical methods, which have wrought so much injury to herself, and occasioned so much mischief to those under her own domination. We cannot say that we see any sign of sueh being the case, and, on the contrary, have cause to apprehend the outbreak of fresh disasters. Obstinacy seems to be the characteristic of the Austrians all through their affairs. Nothing could induce them to give up Venetia, which they are now forced to do under very diffe rent circumstances to those which would have attended their previous withdrawal. Prussia could never have got the ascendancy which she has now had the Vienna Government been better prepared to face her. Want of unity is the chief drawback to the Austrians, it pervades everything, and does incalculable mischief in all directions. While Austria is thus going to the wall, her rival is getting into an equally perilous position through too much good fortune, or at all events what some may call so. We do not, however, regard this very rapid acquisition of territory as real power conferred on Prussia, and, in the end, it may prove to be most inimical to her success. All these places that have been just annexed have been forced to do so against the ex pressed wishes of the people, and in most instances in face of the most earnest efforts to prevent the ceremony taking place. Flushed with the success of their armies, the Berlin Government have has tened to take possession of all they can, and have put their threats into execution without any regard for the feelings or respect for the rights of those concerned. The doom of Hanover, for the present at any rate, was sealed last Saturday, and that of the other places on Monday, by the publication of Royal letters patent. The present is hardly a fitting time to judge of the case with regard to future consequences. The truth of the saying that the world is always on the winning side was never more fully exemplified than it is now respecting Prussia, and many have turned into flatterers who at other times would have been stern censors and -inflexible judges. We must wait until time has shown those who clamour for annexation that they have changed King Log for King Stork with a vengeance, and until Prussia, now so omnipotent, is in fresh straits herself. Let her get involved in a fierce war with France, and we would not give much for her chance of keeping her possessions long. As for talking about the in terests of Germany and such like, we regard it as a completely erroneous view of the question. No doubt much might have been done with advantage iu the great work of remodelling Germany, and of uniting its discordant elements, so that more might regeneration,tel,witis resources, but how people can deceive difficults' a iiid p e r e o d ofof tho t r o e b al eli m ev ea e. nio , of ri te t-i d Prussia we should find it in the course pursued towards towards Saxony. The persecution which this brave little kingdom is undergoing from the stern victor is indeed most disgraceful. Surely enough, and more than enough, has fallen to the share of Berlin with out its ruthless authorities exacting the uttermost farthing. But if we are to applaud the present course of Prussia, we must unsay all we have said concerning the attacks made on Schleswig-Holstein some years back. What concerns one relates to the other, and if wrong-doing and oppression are justified now, they were not culpable then. Perhaps upon mature reflection we may come to the conclusion that the only Power to be congratulated is Italy, and even she has not added to her fame in the events of the recent war. History will have nothing very creditable to report of the progress lately made by the nations of the Continent. An inordinate love of power seems to possess them all, great or small, weak or strong, and so long as they can gain their own wh im o s uff m e r e s d ia t or e w e h nd at s is th s e a y er s i e ff e e m ed. to s ca u r e e n v a ery ton l e itt o le f sentim enatu, u is lowering to the true character of a com munity,every sense of the word, regret must be the feeling now uppermost in the minds of all independent persons who reflect upon the late transactions in Germany. Sir J. KAY SHUTTLEWORTH is always worth bearing, and is no mean authority on matters of education and social science ; and, consequently, when he yesterday morning read a paper on the laws of social progress " illustrated by the growth of the freedom and political capacity of the manual labour class in England," he was cer tain to be listened to with interest and attention. The range of his subject was a a ide one, and dealt not only with the history of the past, but with the politics of our own time, since the position of the lower classes has been for long a subject of anxious deliberation. Sir J. RAT SILUTTLEWORTIL entered upon what may be termed the philosophy of history, and especially dwelt upon the slow and gradual progress of any great principle. Time, he said with truth, was a most important element in all national changes ; and however much the enthu siasm of the hour may induce the leaders of may yearsocate rec popu l a r movements to believe their work accom plished when theo,pnrisinecdi,pliet is s which often they an advocate before the effects which t he y antici p ate are really brought about. Thus, with regard to the Great French Revolution which appa rentl y swe p t all be foreEWORTH clearly showed that its objects were not yet attained , and it, Sir J. KAY SIIUTTL century. The great aims might not be for another of the revolution of 1792 was to destroy all privilege, to confiscate and break up the great estates, to create as far as possible civil equality by the compulsory subdivision of property. " But the idea of personal and civil liberty has been of slow growth, and that of self-government has not had power to develope itself under the cen tral bureaucracy of France and the military organi sation which have subordinated personal and civil liberty to that of the extreme influence of France in Europe. "France," added the speaker, " has an armed democracy, and the people have only attained equality by the creation of a despotism supported by the peasantry, the artisans, and the army. The fruits of the French revolution cannot be said to be reaped until among this subtle and enlightened people there is a perfect free d= in the exprekriion of political opinions, nor THE SUN, LONLON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1866 un±il the faculty and institutions of self-government ' are developed." It is probable enough that another century may elapse before the French people attain their full political development. " Time," says Sir J. X. Sllurruworrnr, "is required for all great ' ehr.nges, and any attempt which is not in harmony with this law is certain to fail. Certain great forces are in constant action, and ;they refuse to be hurried in their course. If, how -1 fever, their natural development is impeded they gather strength, and at last break through the .ordinary succession of events." The speaker .clearly showed the truth of this when he reminded his hearers how ephemeral and unstable the forms of government created by revolutions generally are. They express the prevailing feeling or sentiment of the moment. They have their origin in the , strong convictions or vivid anticipations of enthusiastic minds, but unless they accurately represent the actual growth of the state, and the slow but steady progress of the people, they are certain to crumble and fall. All sanguine expecta tions of the rapid evolutions of new forms of go vernment in nations, ill prepared by their ante , cedent conditions, are not warranted by the ex- perience of history, and generally all sudden transitions in national policy partake of the character of revolutions and of their weakness in the presence of surrounding conditions not in harmony with them. One of two things must result from such rapid changes—either the new condition must subordinate all surrounding conditions to itself or it must collapse and perish. Where any strong conviction or principle has gained ascendancy, and has been really based upon the public convictions, and, in harmony with the spirit of the time, it has produced most striking effects. Thus the desire for the elevation of the masses and for the ameliorition of suffering have within the last few generations worked marvellous changes. Sir J. SHUTTLEWORTH briefly catalogued the most important of these, but even then the list was a long one. If we look back to the state of our prisons, the condition of our penal law, the ignorance of the labouring classes, and the political situation of the great body of the people in the last century, we shall realise in some measure the vast and beneficial advance which has been made. And, happily for the country, the same civilising and elevating influences are still at work, and all we have to learn from the experience of the past is to wait with patience for their gradual effects. Looking back with the eye of a philosophic histo rian over the busy pages of our English annals, Sir J. SHUTTLEWORTH traces the ancient degra dation of the serf in the miserable condi tion of our paupers. The ancient Saxon idea of personal dignity and civil freedom can only in the present day be fully carried out by a liberal system of national education. The half-pauperised agricultural labourers and the unlettered small tenant farmers are still, politically speaking, the thralls of the landlord of the soil. The changes which were thus apparently made centuries back are not even yet fully developed. While the facts thus ably set forth are in some sense discouraging to the ardent reformer they are full of suggestive information, and they afford him grounds of hope that the real principles of social progress, however tardy in their development, yet possess within . themselves a germ of vitality and endurance which no opposing influence can weaken, no tyranny can subdue. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS• (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) I PARIS, Tuesday Evening. mt.,—, ..;,e , ..i g ne .I:o2 . ati-20. Vat? iiig diuduhlirTilit military arrangements of Saxony with the Direct ing Government of the Confederation of the N or th. The Gazette du Nord, of Hanover, says that the document giving up the possession of that country to Prussia contains the following regulations, among others : " We order all the inhabitants of the ancient kingdom of Hanover, in future united to our mo narchy, to recognise us, from this moment, as their legitimate Sovereign and King, and to pay obedi ence to our laws, ordinances, and commands. " We will protect every one in the possession and enjoyment of his private rights, justly acquired, supposing that they will be faithfully administered until the Prussian Constitution shall come into ope ration in the country, when we alone are to exercise legislative power. "We wish to preserve the laws and institutions of the countries which hitherto have formed part of the kingdom of Hanover, and to maintain all par ticularities, so long as they do not operate to the prejudice of the requirements resulting from the unity and interests of the State." The Government has received, officially, the news that Victor Emmanuel signed the treaty of peace between Austria and Italy on Saturday last. The ironclad Italian squadron left Ancona on the 30th of September for Tarentum. Great numbers of addresses continue to be sent to the municipal autho rities in Italy expressive of satisfaction at the signa ture of the treaty of peace. Although the inundations happily have subsided, accounts arrive daily which show the immense ex tent of the disaster. The Government has done all in its power to relieve the sufferers, and private charity is so active that the Moniteur cannot find space to detail the subscriptions. The other day an ingenious scoundrel went to the Restaurant in the Rue deßivoli, and had a copious and excellent dinner, washed down with expensive wine, coffee, and liqueurs. When he had finished he asked for pen and ink, and calling the waiter asked him to deliver it to the first policeman whom he should meet in the street, and wait for an answer. The waiter took the letter. When opened the contents were found to be as follows :—" Mon sieur le Sergant de Ville, I have just committed an offence. If, as is your duty, you wish for proof of the fact come back with the person who will deliver this letter to you and arrest me, for I am guilty. Your servant, Leon 11----, a tumbler." The police man came immediately. On perceiving him he got up and said, " Here I am." Addressing himself to the Restaurateur, he said, " I have bad a good dinner, but I have not a centime to pay for it. To avoid any scandal I have informed the police, and I now deliver myself up." The unpleasant customer then walked quietly with the policeman to the Pre fecture. Viscount de Laferriere has been appointed Cham berlain to the Emperor, in the room of M. Bac ciochi, recently deceased. A man has been arrested on suspicion of being the murderer of the woman of the town, named Tis seraud, in the Rue de Ponthieu, near the Champs Elysees, of which I gave an account about a month ago. lie is a man of 32, a valet de chambre out of place. At his lodging two razors were found both spotted with blood. Other circumstances strengthen the suspicions of the police. The papers published in the south of France give an account of a strange and serious revolt among the young prisoners in the Penitentiary of the Isle of the Levant, near Toulon. The esta lishment is destroyed, burnt, and pillaged. The steamer Robuste was hastily despatched from Tou lon, having on board the Sub-Prefect, the Pro cureur-Imperial, and 140 soldiers, under the orders of a chief of battalion, and 20 gendarmes, com manded by a captain. The insurrection wa s fomented by some young Corsican prisoners who had only been at the island two days. After hav ing mastered the director and wardens of the prison, the insurgents set fire to the oil petrole and spirits which were in the prison. A terrible explosion was the result, and 14 of the conspirators were either suffocated by the flames or perished in the ruins. Had it not been for the devotion of the superin tendent of the Semaphore the director of the prison would have perished. This courageous man suc ceeded in delivering the director, who was about to be engulphed in the flames. He, however, was attacked while endeavouring to execute his perilous task, and was pursued, ill treated, and thrown into a hole, his thigh being broken by the fall. The es tablishment is completely destroyed. At the time of the return of the Robuste fourteen dead bodies of the insurgents had been found under the burning ruins. The insurgents did not make any resistance to the armed force. The amount of injury to pro perty is estimated at from 40,000 f. to 50,000 f. The cause of the revolt is said to be the refusal of the demand of the insurgents to have an unlimited supply of tobacco and six hours of recreation every day. aiving an account of the death A Paris paper in of the crocodile which escaped from the aquarium of the Agricultural Hall, London, says that if tears be shed for his memory they will only be crocodile tears. A Scotch lady residing at Florence, who recently had an interview with Garibaldi, says he always carries with him an oak stick, on which is beauti fully chased Scotch thistles. It was a present from some Scotch w o r kmen, and the lady told Gari baldi that he had many partisans among the Scotch. Garibaldi has suffered much from the last campaign, and is ill and thin. his hands are very lean, and he is still very lame. The letter adds that Gari baldi treats his soldiers like a father. Verdi's new opera of " Don Carlos " is under ' rehearsal, and it will be produced early in December. It was at first stated _that Sardous's new comedy would not have any title. On second thoughts, I however, the author intends to call it "La liaison N euve." The accounts from the vintages are more favour able since the fine weather, but upon the whole it seems to be feared that even where the produce has been abundant the quality of the wine will not be so good as it was last year. The sea serpent is neither dead nor asleep—at least if we are to believe an account sent from Barie to the Guienne. The account says that some bold sailors who were crossing the Garonne when that river was overflowing its banks, perceived between the two waters a serpent of enormous length and fatness, which upon the approach of their boat made a tremendous plunge and disappeared. The Guienne does not favour its readers with any de scription of a this monster, but possibly it was " very like a whale." The weather has been bright, beautiful, and warm throughout the day, but in the vicinity of Paris, at the distance of a few miles, the fields were covered with frost before the sun rose. Au intensely cold wind prevailed in the early part of the morning yesterday. L A TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. VIENNA, October 10. The convocation of the Hungarian Diet is ex pected to take place immediately after the publica tion of the treaty of peace with Italy. The Diet will meet in the middle of November, at which period all the other provincial diets will also as semble. The surrender of the fortresses and war material in Venetia has already commenced. A rumour is current in diplomatic circles that Baron von Friesen, the Saxon Plenipotentiary, has concluded the negotiations with the Prussian Go- vernment. The King of Saxony is said to have ceded the fortress of Konigstein to Prussia, and to have also agreed to place the Saxon army under Prussian command. ITALY. FLORENCE, OCt. 10. The Austrian garrison evacuated Peschiera to day, which was then occupied by the Italian troops. It is stated that the Austrians will quit Mantua to-morrow or the day after. An affray took place at Verona on Monday be tween some of the Austrian troops and the inhabi ants. Perfect order, however, now prevails in :hat city. SWITZERLAND. PARIS, Oct. 10. Several cases of cattle plague having recently occurred in the cantons of Grisons and Schaffhausen. The Minister of Agriculture has without delay suspended the execution of the Ministerial Ordinance of the 2d inst., in as far as relates to the frontiers of Germany and Switzerland, from the Moselle to Upper Savoy. HESSE DARMSTADT. DARMSTADT, Oct. 9 (Evening). The Grand Duke has issued a decree, dated the 7th inst., dissolving the Hesse Darmstadt Estates. BAVARIA. MUNICH, Oct. 9 (Evening). Councillor sf State, Pfistermeister, and Minis terial Secretary, Lutz, have given in their resigna tion, and will be succeeded, the former by llerr Naumayr, and the latter by Herr Feilits. The West Riding Reform Demonstrator, that at least 100,000 persons were present on the Moor during the afternoon, whi l e man y thousands The Leeds Mercury says it isreasona ble to conclude more witnessed the procession th rou g h the streets. Many persons, it adds, whose ca lculations may be adopted with some confidence, have made an esti matepaper thus high a s 1501;e00 I‘ol.oo The Moor describes n as th e s n e o n t when the same proces sion arrived : " As the time wore on, and 2 o'clock, the hour at which the van of the great proces sion was ex p ected to appear at the corner of the Moor, approached, the spaces immediately in front of the platform be came more and more densely crowded , and had the appearance of five great semicircles of spectators ex tending for many yards, in front of each other, and touching each other with their far spreading wings. Beyond these bodies, and on the portion of the slope that may be regarded as the hollow of the slope run ning through its length, there were for a long time comparatively few people, and at no period of the afternoon were they so closely packed here as they were lower down. The ridge of the slope, however, vied with the neighbourhood of the platforms in the fnx wag envered rate, after the procession began topour over it on their way to the platforms. Passing across the table land of the Moor, one could not fail to be impressed even more with the vastness of the grand total of the most moderate estimate of the demonstration, for this great space was covered with a crowd certainly by no means close, but, from the very capacity of the place, of huge dimensions. The great bulk of it was gathered at the two points, which, as "we have said, were from the first selected by a vast number of spectators ; the others were either wandering towards the west side by the Moor or were careless where they took up a position, and so remained pre pared to be wherever circumstances should place them. At 2 o'clock, with great punctuality, the music of the bands were heard in the distance, and the first banner of the procession appeared over the brow of the slope shortly afterwards. From that time even until 3 the host contihued to pour down towards the platforms, the uninarshalled who awaited them breaking up, easily and without dis order, into two masses, between which they passed to the various positions that had been assigned them. The line was, however, preceded by a carriage which contained Mr. Beales, Mr. E. A. Leatham, Mr. Ald. Carter, Mr. Alderman Tatham, and Mr. It. Kell, which bore those gentlemen straight down to No. 3 in the centre of the line of platforms, amidst loud cheers from ten thousand throats. They were fol lowed by the first portion of the procession, who bore down on the same point and soon swelled the crowd assembled there to huge dimensions. On the procession rapidly sw ept down the slope, like a broad mountain torrent, and broke up into streams that now bore us away, now to the far left, now to the right ; in the various channels that seemed in their unvarying regularity to have been formed by them through the long course of time the throng grew ever denser. The arrangements were of the most ad mirable description, and though the numbers were so great, there was not the slightest confusion, and the stream poured along without the slightest break or the least inconvenience either to the proces sion, or the masses that hemmed it in. Nor was less remarkable the patience and the quiet good humour which the crowds before the platforms exhibited in waiting for the commencement of the platform proceedings. At length there seemed to be somewhat of a lull in the advancing line ; though their banners still floated gallantly in the breeze they seemed to be fewer in number, and many were of opinion that the end was at hand. Whether that was so or not, Mr. Alderman Carter, amidst loud cheers, at length opened the business of the day at No. 3, and soon at all the platforms the orators were busily engaged." NEW LIFEBOATS.—The people of Bristol and Clifton and Cheltenham have recently presented to the National Lifeboat Institution the cost of two lifeboats and their equipment, including transporting carriages. Tho Oholtenham lifeboat, which is 32 feetlong, aad which is to be stationed at Burnham, on the Somerset coast, was to be publicly exhibited at Cheltenham to-day. Tho boat was to be named by Lady Charlotte Schreiber, and afterwards launched into a lake in the neighbourhood of the town. The Bristol and Clifton lifeboat, which is of the same di mensions as the Cheltenham boat, left London to-day for Bristol, whero it is to be publicly shown on Saturday, and whore, like Cheltenham, most extensive preparations are being made to give a hearty welcome to the boat of mercy. Tho presentation will take place at Clifton, and will be made by Mr. Commissioner Hill. This boat will after wards be named by Miss Florence Hill, and launched into a lake at Clifton. This boat is to be stationed at Los,ie mouth, a dangerous point on the Scotch coast. It should bo added that the Bristol and Clifton lifeboat fund owes mainly its origin to the Histrionic Club of those places. Bristol had previously given the institution the cost of a lifeboat, which is named the "Albert Edward," after the Prince of Wales. It is stationed at Padstow, on the shores of the Bristol Channel, where last winter it saved during a fearful midnight storm 17 lives from the wrecked barque Juliet of Greenock.

MANCHESTER, Tuesday. The proceedings opened this morning with an address by Sir J. Shuttleworth, president of the De partment of Economy and Trade, being " A sketch of the Laws of Social Progress, illustrated by the Growth of the Freedom and Political Capacity of the Manual Labour Class in England." This paper, which was a very able one, was of great length. In the sections all the special questions proposed for the Congress had been proposod of, and to-day was mostly devoted to the reading of voluntary papers. Those most worthy of notice were, in Sec tion C of Jurisprudence, a paper by Mr. J. Pope Hennessy, "On the Treatment of Political Pri soners ;" in the department of Education, a special paper, by the Rev. Nassau Molesworth, "On the Half-time System," and one by W. B. Hodgson, LL.D., " On the Pressure for Employment among Women of the Middle Class ;" in Section A of Economy and Trade, papers by R. Arthur Arnold, " On the Future of Labour ;" by Elie Reclus, on the French Co-operative Societies ; by Archibald Briggs, on the Whitwood Colliery ; by T. J. Duning on Lock-outs ; by Andrew Edgar, on the recent report of the select committee of the House of Com mons ; and in a supplementary section of Economy and Trade a paper by Barbara Bodichon, on the extension of the suffrage to women. Queen. Mr. AIOLESWORTH, in introducing his paper (De partment of Education), said he had some time since accompanied Mr. E. Chadwick, C. 8., in an investi gation which he made in Rochdale and its neigh bourhood into the working of the half-time system. The following were the conclusions it tended to establish, and which it was the object of the paper to establish :-1. That a master can completely exhaust the attention of children under his care in less than three hours, even with intervals of repose. 2. That a manual and industrial occupation gives great advantage to a child in the acquirement of knowledge. 3. That the half .time system has caused the children of these districts to receive an education they would not otherwise have obtained. 4. That as a general rule the half-time schools afford a much better education than middle class schools. In other words that the working classes obtain for 2d. and 4d. a week a better education than is obtained by the middle class for ls., is. 6d., and 2s. a week. 5. That the military or naval drill should be introduced in all schools aided by the Government. In answer to a question from the Chairman, Mr. MOLESWORTH said he was of opinion that the half-time system had been to improve the quality of education generally in the district. Mr. ANGELL combated the notion that half-timers made more progress than children in the schools of the middle class, and said, if it was true, it was not because the half-time system was good, but be cause the teaching in the whole-time schools was bad. Professor FAWCETT thought one or two sugges tions had been thrown out by Mr. Molesworth which were valuable, and he thought the evidence he had referred to suggested the extension of the half-time system to every branch of industry. It would do much to solve the difficulties in the way of extend ing national education to the lower classes. He be lieved the proposal practicable, and the arguments in its favour irresistible. He thought a great and valuable step would be made in the application of this system to all employments to a better education of the masses. The a griculturists were introducing machinery extensively into their pursuits, and it was important to have education extended in their dis tricts. He thought the system could be introduced into agricultural employments, but of course it would have to be done with sonic modifications. Dr. LANKESTER thought many children were un able to sustain without injury to health the long hours of mental training to which they were gene rally subjected. Something should be done to break up the system, so that the mental faculties would not be subject to too much strain at a time. In this section the following resolutions (with the introductory preamble), moved by the Rev. W. R. Clay, yesterday, and then discussed at some length, were this morning put to the vote, and all were carried by majorities _a o wbile.slxoßo.,-.IY cation must be made by Act of Parliament, arc nevertheless convinced that much might be done in the meantime by relaxing in some points the Privy Council rules, and therefore earnestly request the Council of the Association to press on the Commit tee of Council on Education the necessity for modi fying the Revised Code in the following particulars in the case of elementary schools, where the average attendance is below 70, or where the school fees do not reach one-sixth of the total annual ex- • penses : " 1. That a certificated teacher be not necessarily required. "2. That the age at which children present at the inspection become entitled to the grant of Gs. 6d. without individual examination be raised from six to eight years. " 3. That supplementary rules 8 and 9 be not enforced. "4. That where an additional expense is incurred by industrial teaching a grant in aid be given. "5. That when the schools are held in rented premises no deduction be made for endowment, un less to the extent of the excess (if any) of the en dowment over the rent." Mr. A rthur Arnold's paper in Section A of Eco nomy and Trade was followed by a discussion, in which Professor Fawcett, M.P., Mr. Potter, M.P., and Mr. Hugh Mason took part. MARKE TS. --This Day. MARK LANE. Only moderate supplies of home-grown wheat wore re ceived fresh up to our market to-day. Very little business was passing in any description, and no portion of the late decline was recovered. On the whole, the quantity of the supply was good. Thorn was a moderate quantity of foreign wheat on offor. In all kinds sales progressed slowly at Monday's reduc tion in prices. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, on former terms. The supply of barley was moderate. Fine malting par cels changed hands steadily, at full currencies, otherwise the trade was heavy. Malt was firm on former tering. We were moderately supplied with oats, the demand for which was inactive at late rates. For both beans and peas the in,quiry was limited, a about stationary prices.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of XJ rrs. lOid. per ounce fbr standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. the course of exchange at New York on Loudon for bills at 60 days' sight is about 119ijper cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the UniteJ States. The steamer Floride, belonging to the Trans atlantic Company, was preparing on Saturday to leave Havre for New York, when all at once she was observed to be sinking, and before another half-hour she grounded in the basin. The vessel was about to take out 580 emi grants ; and besides the stores necessary for so many people she had on board bupplies for the French troops in Mexico and 150 tons of various merchandise. No conjecture can be formed as to the cause of the disaster. Divers were sent down to examine the ship's bottom and position, and the pumps are at work to keep her as free as possible of water. 6111 rt - Cirtrihr HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Monday. The Queen, Prince and Princess Christian, Princess Louise, and Prince Arthur, accompanied by the Mar chioness of Ely and Col. Ponsonby, attended Divine service at the parish church, Crathie, yesterday. The Rev. Dr. Robert Lee, one of her Majesty's chaplains, officiated. Sir Stafford Northcote, Bart., C. 8., arrived at the Castlo on Saturday, and is the Minister in attendance upon the Sir Stafford Northeoto and Dr. Lee had the honour of dining with her Majesty and the Royal family. HER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FROM DUNICELD.— Her Majesty left the Cottage on Saturday for Bal moral at half-past ten. Previous to her departure the gates of the grounds wero thrown open, and the public freely admitted. A crowd of several hundreds of respectably dressed people accordingly lined the avenue to catch a glimpse of the Queen. Before the carriage drove off her Majesty called Mr. Cariington, the factor, to her, and ex pressed to him her gratification with the fountain, which she had seen the previous evening, and with the design and workmanship of which she expressed herself highly pleased. There was a rumour that her Majesty was to have planted a tree, as she did on a former occasion, in remembrance of hor visit, but she did not 00 so. A few minutes before her Majesty started, Prince Arthur, General Grey, the Marchioness of Ely, and Miss Mac gregor left in a waggonette, the young prince freely ac knowledging the cheers of the crowd by lifting his High land bonnet. Then came her Majesty, the Princess Louise, and tho duchess, in a carriage and pair, with postilion and outriders—and Ghillies Grant and Brown on the box. Her Majesty was loudly cheered, and graciously acknowledged the applause by repeated bows. She was dressed, as usual, in plain black, with widow's cap beneath her bon net, and crape veil, and looked remarkably well. The party were to proceed by carriage to Loch Ordy ; thence they were to ride on ponies over the hill, and take luncheon at Kiudrogan. The Duchess was then to pro ceed several miles ou the journey with the Queen, and afterwards to return to Kiudrogan, where she would pass the Sunday. On Monday she is to leave Kindrogan for Dunkeld Cottage, which she will leave in the evening on a visit to her father, Mr. Home Drummond, of Blair Drum mond, near Stirling. The Queen's travelling carriage was despatched by the coach road to meet her on the other side of the hill, and convey her to Balmoral. The day was a most delightful one, and no doubt the journey would be much enjoyed. Mr. Fisher, of the Royal Hotel, had, as usual, charge of the posting arrangements. Dur ing her Majesty's stay at the cottage there were two men from the Athole Highlanders on guard every evening in front of• her rooms. Our Kirkmichael correspondent writes—" The Queen, the Princess Louise, and Prince Arthur crossed the hill by Lochhusina to Kindrogan on Saturday, and thence through Kirkmichael village by the Blackwater road to Spittal of Glenshee. Her Majesty was accompanied by the Dowager Duchess of Athole, Miss Ilacgregor, General Grey, and suite. Ponies were used in crossing the hill, and when about half way over the royal party were met by Mr. P. S. Keir, and Mr. W. A. Keir, of Kindrogan. Some of Mr. Keir's gamekeepers were pre sent, neatly dressed in Highland costume, and the Messrs. Keir also wore the kilt. Luncheon was served to the royal party on the Kindrogan hill, a little to the west of the house, by Mrs. S. Keir. The day was beautiful, warm, and sunshiny. After a short stay the royal carriage drove off for Balmoral. The royal party bowed graciously to all and sundry as they passed along Strathardle. They ar rived at Kindrogan at two and Kirkmichael at three." — Dundee Advertiser.

The following political character of Lord Mel bourne is published in the " Life of Archbishop Whately" by his daughter. It appears to have been found in the Archbishop's private note-book : "After all, Lord Melbourne's plan was to let everything alone, good or bad, till forced to make a change. Ile was the highest Conservative I ever knew. For he was not like many so-called, who have really persuaded themselves that such and such alleged abuses are really good ;,he saw in many cases, and has often pointed out to me, the evils of such and such institutions ; adding, however, that he was very sorry they should ever have been meddled with : ' I say, Archbishop, all this reforming gives a deuced deal of trouble, eh ? eh ? I wish they'd let it all alone.' Any change, in whatever department, was to him so much greater au evil than the continuance of any abuse that he would always avoid it if be could. But then he had, which most Conservatives have not, shrewdness enough to perceive when it was unavoidable, and then he always welcomed it with so much gladness that many people were alarmed with a dread of his going too far ; and thus he offered the most effectual check to innova tions. For John Bull becomes furious at a very obstinate opposition to some change which he con ceives called for; but if it is readily granted, the in nate conservatism of the nation is called forth very strongly. He is like a restive horse, which, if you turn his head away from the ditch he is backing towards, and whip and spur him from it will back the more violently ; but if you turn him towards it, and seem rather to urge him that way, will shrink from it. Lord Melbourne took the latter mode. Yet, though he thought with the Tories and acted with the Whigs, I always vindicated him from the charge of inconsistency. A man is not a traitor for surren dering a town to the enemy when untenable, in stead of waiting to have it stormed and sacked ; though iu so doing he is acting with those who wish the enemy to have possession of it, while his feelings and wishes are with those who are for holding out and dyingin the breach. He differed from the Whigs in deprecating all changes, good or bad ; he differed from the (other) Tories in conceding readily what he saw to be inevitable. Yet this man will probably go down to posterity as a zealous reformer. A monu ment to Sir Robert Peel and the Duke, as the authors of catholic emancipation and free trade and the Maynooth grant, and to Lord Melbourne as the friend to Parliamentary reform, tithe reform, the Irish Temporalities Act, and the abolition of slavery, these should certainly stand side by side, and a most laughable pair they would be. "I say Arch bishop, what do you think I'd have done about this slavery business, if I'd had my own way ? I'd have have done nothing! I'd have left it all alone. It's all a pack of nonsense ! Always have been slaves in all the most civilised countries ; the Greeks and Romans had slaves; however, they would have their fancy, and so we've abolished slavery ; but it's great folly, &c." And this was the general tone of his conversation, and a specimen of his political views. MADAME TusSAUD'S. —A full-length portrait model, taken from life, of the criminal John Richard Jeffreys, who was executed in front of Newgato on Tues day last, for the foul murder of his little son, six years Of age, by hanging him in a cellar in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's, is now added to Madame Tussaud's celebrated Chamber of Horrors in Baker-street.
