LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1865. - ip.---- It is satisfactory to notice that the ceremony of the inauguration of the memorial to the late PRINCE CONSORT has been successfully got through, and that nothing was wanting to conduce to the prosperity of the undertaking. This has been, in truth, a sad and solemn task, but its pomp and grandeur are outweighed in most minds by the peculiarly impres sive and interesting attributes of the scene. Domestic life, in its sorrows and sympathies, was shadowed forth in that pageant no less than the mighty mean ing of the outward and visible wish of doing honour to an illustrious Prince, who was the pride of Ger many and the worthy consort of the Queen of ENGLAND. For the first time for many years all the children of the QUEEN met on this occasion. It certainly was an appropriate one, and well calculated to bring painful and pleasant recollec tions to their minds. It is no exaggeration to say that the children of Queen VICTORIA have had the wisest training that has ever fallen to the lot of the young scions of a Royal house. They have been instructed as members of the j great human family ; and while they have been carefully taught what pertained to their position, they have seen the world to a greater extent than many might have deemed practicable. Prince ALBERT could have wished for no more graceful tribute to his memory than this celebration at Coburg. It was, in every sense of the word, a fitting offering. The statue is in itself a work of art that commands attention, and all its surround ings are calculated to impress the beholder. Mr. TREED, the sculptor, has fulfilled the task intrusted to him in an appropriate manner, and it must have been very gratifying to the members of the Royal Family to see the work so admirably performed. On part of the pedestal there is an inscription of the names and titles of the Prince, and at the back the date of the erection of the monument, with these German - words of the Psalm—" The righteous shall live in everlasting remembrance." Such is an ap propriate motto for the monument. All must feel for the QUEEN and her family, and rejoice that they were thus enabled to fulfil their desires, and to witness the Inauguration of this Statue to the me mory of the loved and lost. At the same time, the people of this country cannot but think that it is one of the drawbacks to a higher rank of life that sorrow may become too prolonged. In humbler spheres important duties must in time take the place of sad reveries and mournful tributes. It is truly said in the beautiful lines on the burial of the dead, " Then cheerily to your work again." It cannot be said that anything has been left undone that could do honour to the memory of the late Prince ; and is now remains that the strict seclusion in which the SOVEREIGN has remained should be exchang e d at all events for a partial resumption of the duties of her high office. It is unfortunate that, in losing the lamented Prince, her MAJESTY was deprived of the only one 'who had a right to advise her ; but it is still to be trusted that she will listen to those counsels which assure her of the claims which still call her back to the land o f t h e living. Th e example of her lamented h us b and is before her, for he never failed in his appropriate work, and she will find in fulfilling her public duties the best consolation that can be hers, until in fulness of time " GOD'S love shall set her at his side again" whom she so deeply mourns. Republican America appears to be divided into as many factions and parties as any of the older states who have the problems of centuries to settle. The cessation of the war which has for the last four years given incessant occupation to the tongues and pens of rival politicians has now developed fresh difficulties and given rise to fresh discussions and dissensions. The PRESIDENT has an awkward posi tion, and the honours which have been so suddenly and unexpectedly thrust on him have hitherto proved very thorny. He is apparently a man of much de termination and perseverance, and he certainly needs those qualities in his Presidential capacity more than he required them in fighting his way up from the lower ranks of the people. There is un fortunately a party in the North to whom the termination of the war means nothing more or less than the political extermination of the South. They are eager to confiscate all property, to deprive the whites on one pretext or another of all political rights and to hand them over to the negro, to whom a vote at present can have very few attractions. If this extreme section had their way they would soon either kindle a fresh war by driving the Southern people to extremities or they would crush them down under a martial law which could not possibly be maintained over such immense territories, and so vast a popula tion. Happily the PRESIDENT refuses to be dic tated to by these extreme Radicals, as they are called iu the States, and has hitherto, with one or two exceptions, shown more moderation than could have been expected of him, and he has reaped the reward by rapidly rising in European reputation. At first his antecedents, and his un fortunate display at his inauguration as Vice- President, combined with his repeated diatribes about the guilt of treason, excited considerable uneasiness among the English well-wishers of America and the Americans. Lookers -on see most of the game, and Englishmen wbo have watched the fluctuations of the war with the in tensest interest, are perfectly convinced that the life and vigour of the Southern States cannot have been so suddenly trodden out, and that the policy which would seek to impoverish and de grade the people will only serve to keep alive the smouldering fire. The accession of the Vice- President to the supreme power was therefore looked upon with some misgivings, and the arbi trary proceedings at Richmond, coupled with the cruel severity with which the ex-President of the Southern States was treated, tended to increase the feeling. Whether the responsibilities of power brought calmer reflection and more enlarged views, or whether the opinion of Europe has weighed with President JOHNSON, it is certain that he has discou raged the extreme views of the Radicals, and has preferred to ally himself and his party rather with the Democrats than with the rival section. The power of the Republicans and Democrats has con siderably strengthened Mr. JOHNSON'S position, and will leave him free to carry out his own notions of Southern policy. The task of reconstruction is difficult enough in any shape, without the added perplexity of the weakness occasioned by divisions in the North itself. The South, exhausted by the natural reaction after its prolonged struggle, is just now in a condition . favourable to pacific efforts, and it will be a thousand pities if the fanaticism of the Radicals puts unnecessary obstacles in the way. Mr. JOHNSON'S scheme is as fair as could be ex pected, with one or two exceptions. He has ap pointed a Provincial Governor in every Southern State, with the duty of assembling a State Conven tion to recognise the State, and to make such alterations in its constitution as will bring it in harmony with the existing laws of Washington. The abolition of slavery and the re-entrance into the Union are the two great points insisted upon, and these no one can quarrel with. The great drawback is the confiscation clause, which virtually takes all Southern property over the value of $20,000 out of the hands of it owners. It has not as yet been pushed forward with any great rapidity, but it has gicen rise to a feeling of great insecurity among the Southern owners of property, and it has done much to increase the unpopularity of the central authority. It is most unwise and impolitic, as well as a harsh and unjust clause, since it is absurd to measure a man's loyalty in inverse ratio to his property. Be cause he has lands or factories above a certain value he is disloyal, but if his goods do not quite come up to the specified amount he may be trusted to keep what belongs to him. The feeling against this confiscation system is so strong that Mr. SLlDELL'S.property in Louisiana was sold at an eighth of its value, from the unwillingness of people to buy confiscated estates. Two of the Pro visional Governors have recently addressed the people of the States under their charge, Florida and Texas. Governor MARVIN of Florida spoke frankly and boldly. He reminded the people of Florida that on the outbreak of the war the Confederates had confiscated the property of Union men, and showed that the reverse of fortune had now con fiscated the property of the Southerners. They were, he said, a conquered people, and at the mercy of Government, but he assured them of its clemency. The black man could never, he said, be enslaved again, and he exhorted them to give him a fair chance, to teach and encourage him. Governor MARVIN was no stranger to his hearers, being one of the oldest citizens of Florida, and deeply interested in the welfare of his State. His words are, there fore, likely to weigh with the people. Governor lIA3tH,ToN, of Texas, was more downright and less conciliatory in tone, but still he boldly urged the duty of the white man towards the negro. Unfor tunately the Northerners have nearly as much to learn as the Southerners in this respect. We can only hope that both sides may profit by the mistakes and misfortunes of the past in their conduct for the future. The Exhibition of Working Men are among the most prominent features of our present time, and it is, indeed, difficult to overrate their importance, or magnify their influence. At Birmingham, on last Monday, the Industrial Exhibition of Working Men for Birmingham and the Midland Counties was inaugurated. The scene at Bingley Hall was a very impressive one, and general satisfaction appeared . to prevail. Lord LYTTELTON delivered the inaugural address, and he did so very successfully. The noble lord rightly appreciated the real use of such undertaking as the one before them, by de claring that they purported to increase the voluntary and intelligent intercourse between the different classes of society. This is, in fact, why these affairs ought to be encouraged, and why con stant support should be afforded to them by all who are of ability and influence. Lord LYrrEvroN also adverted to the great change for the better which had taken place of late in the intercourse between classes. DANIEL DEFOE wrote, one hundred and fifty years ago, concerning this matter, and said that although the rich knew something of the doings of the poor, still, on the whole, their suf ferings and their views were, so to speak, carried on by themselves. In recent times a remarkable book was published, entitled " The Two Nations," and in this the author showed that the rich and poor were as little known to each other as if they were a separate and distinct nation, though living within the borders of England. The noble lord observed, in respect to these writings, that they w ou ld not b e found so appropriate and characteristic as descrip tions of these days. It may be questioned, indeed, if the twenty years that have elapsed since Mr. DISRAELI penned his work have not wrought greater chancres than the long period which passed between the sayings of DEFOE and the publication of "Sybil." Doubtless, the spread of education has had a great deal to do with the happy results of which these exhibitions are a striking proof and a worthy testi monial. There was also considerable force in what Lord LYTTELTON said regarding the mingling of classes, and especially that the working classes themselves desired it. The desire which each evince to know something of each other is shown by the literature of the day. The works of fiction most prized by the lower classes are those which d.tail the doings of the aristocracy ; and, likewise, it is well known that accounts of the existence led by the lower and humbler ranks are welcomed by the upper ten thousand. This is as it should be, for it is a great mistake to suppose that a community can really flourish and attain to the standard of effi ciency if its several component parts are not on terms of amity and intimacy. Lord LYTTEL TON quoted those words of Scripture eminently suited for the occasion, "To every man his work;" and such exhibitions as this at Birming-. ham is peculiarly calculated to encourage this feel ing, and promote the object which divine precept and human experience declared the wisest and best, the most likely training for here and hereafter. As Lord LYTTELTON said, " Why should it not be en couraging to the artisan to see his works admired ?" on the same principle that men of the better classes appreciated the National Gallery and collections of sculpture, and as Mr. DICKENS might feel when the " labouring people of this country literally devour his writings." It is a great point gained for mutual appreciation of each other's excellencies to prevail among separate classes. Jealousies and prejudices are sure to predominate to a certain extent and a great degree, but these may be counteracted by judicious efforts. Birmingham, as the noble lord said, is a very appropriate place for such an exhibi tion, on account of its great variety of " trades." There seems no reason to fear that these exhibitions should not proceed and prosper, and that they may do so will be the earnest aspiration and heartfelt wish of all who appreciate their importance, as pro moting intercourse between classes, and furthering the general advance of intelligence and enterprise among the community. Loss OF THE SCREW STEAMER GLASGOW.—The Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of the Glasgow was resumed yesterday, when the statement of Captain Manning was taken. Ho said that he had been in the Inman service about three years, and had been appointed master in July, 1864. The cargo was stowed by stevedores, under the superintendence of the officers of the ship. The ship was well found and in good condition. Witness had inspected the cotton in the steerage after the ship sailed. It was built up with rolls of leather, outside which were tires of boxes._ From the outside of the boxes to the cotton the distance was about six feet. He described the means adopted for extinguishing the fire, and said that everything that it was possible to do had been done to save the ship. With reference to the saving of the passengers, ho spoke very highly of the conduct of the captain of the Resolute, who, he said, threw overboard 50 or 60 tons of coal to ac commodate the people from the Glasgow. There was plenty of hose on board. Captain Harris observed that there was no doubt that the loss of the ship had been caused by an accident, but the result showed that it was very in judicious to carry cotton in the steerage. In this case it had no doubt led to the destruction of the vessel. Lights had been taken amongst the cotton contrary to the com pany's regulations. It was stated by Mr. Bardswell, solicitor for the owners, that the vessel was insured for £15,000, but that the freight and passage menoy were uninsured. He believed the vessel was worth about £25,000. The Glasgow was, ho believed, the fourth ocean-going iron screw steamer ever built, and one of the oldest in exist ence. The assessors stated that they would forward their report to the Board of Trade. The captain's certificate was then returned to him. GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—The 81st half yearly meeting of the shareholders in the General Steam Navigation Company was held yesterday at their offices, 71, Lombard-street—Mr. John Wilkin in the chair. The report of the directors and a statement of the accounts for the half-year to the3OthJune last were read to the meeting and unanimously adopted. The customary dividend of 14s. per share, being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, was declared ; and the cordial thanks of the proprietors were voted to the chairman and directors for their continued exertions in the management of the com pany's affairs. MR. POTTER AND TRADES' DELEGATES. Mr. Potter has been censured by his fellow-workmen. The report presented at the annual delegate meeting of the trades of London on Monday night contained a passage in which the council said they could not refrain from stating their conviction that the terms for arbitration in the Staf fordshire strike offered by the Earl of Lichfield and ac cepted by the masters had been rejected by the men in consequence of the 'glowing promises of support held out to them night after night at the irresponsible meetings convened by Mr. Potter. An amendment was moved and seconded that this portion of the report should be struck out, and a noisy discussion took place, but in the end the report was adopted entire. DIOCESS OF LINCOLN.—The Bishop of Lincoln has offered the vicarage of Ilolbeach, vacant by the death of the Rev. Prebendary Morton, to the Rev. George Beatson Blenkin, M.A., of Corpus Christi College, vicar of Boston. His lordship has instituted the Rev. J. H. Cheales, M.A., of Brasenose College, Oxford, to the vicarage of Skendleby, near Spilsby, Lincolnshire, on the nomination of Lord Willoughby D'Eresby ; the Rev. Wm. H. Cantrell, M.A., of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, vicar of Atten borough with Bramcote, Nottinghamshire, to the rectory of Bulwell, in the rot - ,m of the Rev. John W. Armitage, M.A., and has licensed the Rev. J. L. Gurney, M.A., to the curacy of Riseholme, on the nomination of the Yen. Arch deacon Kaye. RUSSIAN TRADE WITH EUROPE.—Some interest ing particulars have just been published at St. Petersburg respecting the trade of Russia with Europe in 1864. According to these data exports in that year ex ceeded those in 1863 by over 30 millions, amounting to 171 against 140. Of these 164 millions were sent to Europe, and 6 millions to Finland. The exports of grain (54 mil lions) showed an increase of 10 millions ; wool (19 mil lions) exceeded the previous year by 4 millions, and lin seed by G millions (18 against 11). The exports of flax and tallow, on the other hand, each diminished by 700,000 roubles, the former, in 1864, being 15 millions, the latter 9• The chief remaining articles of export were hemp and wood (5 millions each), bristles and tow (2 millions each), cattle, potashes, various unworked metals, hempen thread, oil, seeds, rope, butter, and undressed leather, 1 million each ; hemp and flax fabrics, raw silk, linseed and hemp seed, oil, furs, gallants, fish oil, horses, rags, candles, and caviare, half a million each. In the total exports raw pro duce is represented by upwards of 150 million roubles, and from 15 to 20 millions only remain for manufactured goods. In 1863 the export of bullion amounted to 59 millions, in 1864 to 21 millions. It will bo remembered that in 1863 the Bank of Russia exchanged its notes for coin up to the sth November. Imports in 1864 showed an increase of 17 millions over the previous year, amounting altogether to 144 millions, 3 millions of which were derived from Fin land. Goods not subject to duty imported by Government and companies from abroad are not included in these figures, but will be comprised in future accounts, as it is evident no proper commercial balance can otherwise be struck. The chief place among articles of import is occu pied by cotton, in value 22 millions against 9 millions in the preceding year ; tea follows with 8 millions against previous 10 millions. This latter reduction is due to the increase of duty upon imports taking place across the European land frontier. A diminution was also observed in sugars (8 millions against 10 millions), wine (7 mil lions against 8 millions), metals, fish, silks, and drugs. Increase, after cotton, was perceptible, in the import of machinery and models (7 millions to 5 millions), coals (in crease, 1 \ million), wool (1 million), chemical products (1 million), salt (2 millions), worked linens . (1 million), woollen and hempen fabrics, &c. GLENFIELD STARCII.—As an article of domestic use starch is of great importance, because by its aid the beauties of the female costume can only be tho roughly developed. Foremost among the producers of that necessary and all-important article stand the Messrs. Wotherspoon ; because, not content with manufacturing it in the old conventional manner, they have devoted both time and money to the improvement and production of an article of commerce which has secured to them the patronage of royalty, and which has become one, we might almost say, of universal use. From the Royal laundry down to the humblest establishment of the same description Glenfield Starch is in daily use, and, did space permit us to give the statistics of the amount pro duced, consumed, and exported, the figures would asto nish the most careless observer. That the article is one of superior quality the shirt front and turn-down collar of every man of taste bears unmistakeable evidence, be cause none but an article of first-rate quality would im part that unimpeachable gloss and smoothness which now so greatly distinguishes the linen of " young England." The manufacturing establishment of the Messrs. Wother spoon must be one of great extent, because not only do they produce starch in enormous quantities, but they pro vide the public with confections and biscuit to an extent almost incalculable. The purity of the articles is un doubted, because in each of the Great Exhibitions of Eng land, France, and America, in 1851-3-5, and '65, they received prize medals for their contributions. MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—We have much pleasure in calling the special attention of visitors to the metro polis to Madame Tussaud's instructive and highly-interest] ing exhibition in Baker-street, where innumerable relics; once the property of the Great Napoleon and other dis tinguished personages, everywhere meet the eye. Life size models of the monarchs of England, from William the Conqueror to that of her present Majesty, all being attired in the gorgeous costumes of the respective periods, may likewise be seen ; and in the chamber of physiognomy are effigies of the late Jlotorious criminals. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 30. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Seine, with the above mails, has arrived here. She brings 165 passengers, including the Hon. Mr. Jermyn from Lima, Generals Preston and Walker, and Mr. Ben jamin, Secretary of State of the Confederate States, also $1,686,853 in specie, £2,566 worth of jewellery, £6,700 worth of precious stones, and a general cargo. The Tasmanian, with the mails of the 2d inst., arrived at St. Thomas's on the 16th inst. The revolution in Peru was gaining ground. The Presidential Government in Lower Peru was gradually becoming confined to a narrower circle. The new ship of war Union, on arriving at Val paraiso from England, went over to the revolu tionary party, and the Peruvian Minister for Chili left his place, and proceeded in the Union to take command with the rest of the revolutionary fleet. The revolutionists were making a combined move ment, and had arrived at nuacho, near Lima. Business throughout the entire country was unsatis factory, and the prospects of the President, Pizet, were gloomy. Exchange, 37d. The Seine left St. Thomas on the afternoon of the 13th, shortly after 10 o'clock, when about 50 miles from land the vessel was discovered to be on fire in the forehold. Most strenuous exertions were immediately taken by Captain Revett to confine the fire and prevent all access of air, and the ship was immediately turned with all speed for St. Thomas, arriving there , about four o'clock on the morning of the 14th inst., when, with the combined assistance of the crews of the company's vessels in the harbour, the fire was ultimately extinguished without recourse to scut tling the vessel, which at one time was feared. Holes were cut through the ship's deck and water poured in, which moderately subdued the fire, but not until the forehold was nearly gutted and a great deal of cargo destroyed, mostly cigars. The passengers, in appreciation of Captain Revett's active and prompt exertions and discipline of the crew, presented him with a piece of plate and a testimonial. The religious bills under discussion in Chili had been passed by the Chamber of Deputies. Those not professing the Roman Catholic religion are now allowed to worship under other edifices, and Dissenters are allowed to establish private schools for the instruction of their children in their own re!igion. There was no business news. Exchange 46id. to 47d. In Guayaquil everything was quiet. After the revolution trade steadily improved. The lands be longing to the revolutionists were confiscated and sold. The tobacco season had commenced in Esmeralda. The crops were unusually large and fine. The town of Buenaventura was full of armed men, who called themselves the Panama expedition. They stated that they were awaiting the arrival of another force, and that they would then march for Panama, their object being the overthrow of that Government. The revolution in Ecuador was at an end, and everything was quiet. The &overnment of Nicaragua bad delivered up General Barrios to the Government of Salvador on a contract being signed that his life should be spared. At Trinidad the weather was fine, and the crops were locking well. At Barbadoes planting was going on rapidly, and provisions were cheaper. The town was busy. The weather was fine at Demerara, and the ma nufacturing operations were progressing. Coals were scarce, and but little produce offering. Freights unchanged. At Jamaica the drought was over. The island had been visited with rains. Business was im- proving. The crop of sugar exceeds that of last year by 2,000 hogsheads. The crop of pimento was small, but the coffee crop was expected to be good. Ordi nary sells from 565. to 605., and sugar from 14s. to 18s. Exchange on London, 1/ prem. BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS. ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 28. The Massilia and Delta left here with the above mails at 10.20 a.m. to-day for Marseilles and Southampton respectively. The former has 795 and the latter 2,459 pack ages of cargo. 'ME SUB, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVEN AMERICA. The North German Lloyds' steamer Germania, from New York on the 19th inst., passed the Needles at 11 55 a.m. to-day. FRANCE, A letter in the Journal (le 'Aisne speaks of great damage having been recently caused by a hurricane in the vicinity of Lissonne. About two in the after noon clouds were seen gathering from all points towards the south-west, which speedily descended in the form of a tornado. It directed its course through the park of M. Laisne, councillor-general, tearing up many trees by the roots, and then in the village beyond carried away the roofs of a number of houses. The whole of this devastation did not last more than two minutes. The Havre journals mention that Capt. Bourdon, of the Chincha, from which ship the seaman Daoulas escaped, while on his way home to be tried for par ticipating in the crimes on board the Foederis Arca, has been arrested on the demand of the Procureur- Imperial. The crew of the Chincha are still con fined to the vessel. BOURSE, Aug. 29.—Two o'clock.—The struggle between the "Bulls" and " Bears" is now fully en gaged for the settlement. The latter have every chance of being worsted, though they make every effort to avoid having to buy back all the last sales of the month—sales made in reply to the numerous discounts, to say nothing of the primes sold on the highest prices--primes seriously threatened at the present hour.

LITERATURE. The Student's English Dictionary. By John Ogilvie, LL.D. One vol. Pp. 814. Blackie and Son. One of the most exquisitely printed and carefully compiled of Modern Dictionaries has here, in this handsome quarto, been published by the Messrs. Blackie and Son of the Row, of Glasgow, and of Edinburgh. It is a Dictionary at once Etymological, Pronouncing, and Explanatory. It has been edited by the Editor of two other dictionaries already famous in their way, " The Imperial" and " The Comprehensive." Dr. Ogilvie, it should be re marked, has been assisted in the labours of compilation applied by him to The Student's - English Dictionary, now under notice, by Mr. Richard Cull, F.S.A., under whose hands the Pro nunciation has been very carefully adapted through out to the best modern usage. Word after word—from Aaronic to Zymotic--will be found to have been traced back to its ultimate source, the root or primary meaning being in each instance inserted, and the other meanings very fully given according to the most reliable authorities. Scattered through the letterpress are about three hundred illustrative wood engravings. Alike to teachers and to pupils at our more advanced schools and colleges, the " Student's Dictionary," here issued from the press by the Messrs. Blackie and Son, will be found to be not simply acceptable, but absolutely invaluable as a long-looked-for book of reference. According to the old slang of pro spectuses it might have been defined before its appearance as a desideratum. Afterv►-ards it becomes nothing less than a necessity. Once placed upon the bookshelf, or better still, because more directly within reach, upon the study-table —we can't very well do without it. Once consulted, the work is certain to be consulted again and yet again. The information is never superficial or incomplete. It is always directly to the point—remarkable at once for its terseness and its completeness. All the more accomplished philologists and lexicographers now living, or who have but recently passed away from amongst us, hav'e been here put under contribution by Dr. Ogilvie no less assiduously than the most famous amongst their more or less remote pre decessors. The Dictionary is, therefore, brought as closely as possible up to a level with the full and comprehensive knowledge of the present time. It is a whole library in a single volume—as every really good dictionary ought to be. It is the key to a whole literature. It is a treasury of the most diver sified information. It ranges over all the arts and all the sciences. It is a store of all the ripened fruits of knowledge. And it is a store of this kind so complete and all but perfect in its arrangement, that the thoughtful student, turning it over at any moment, never, we conceive, could find the time hang heavily on his hands —never, we believe, could rise from its examination—open it where he will — uninstructed in regard to something with which he was not previously acquainted. Bishop Colenzo v. the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Others. It was stated in The Sun of the 14th inst. that Dr. Colenzo, Bishop of Natal, had filed a bill in Chancery against the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Attorney- General, tho Archbishop of Canterbury, Vice-Chancellor Page Wood, Mr. Hubbard, and others, seeking to compel them to pay over the amount of his salary from the Colo nial Bishoprics Fund, which has been withheld during the last two years. The defendants in the case have filed their answer, and have fully set out the circumstances under which the fund was formed. In June, 1853, the council of the fund appropriated a capital sum of £lO,OOO for the establishment of the bishopric of Natal, and Dr. Colenso was nominated bishop by the Duke of Newcastle, who was then Colonial Secretary. The defendants urge that they had nothing to do with the appointment of Bishop Colenso. Having adverted to the letters patent and the recent judg ment of the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, the de fendants say in their answer, " We are advised that, in ac cordance with the said judgment, the letters patent are null and void so far as they purport to create any diocese or to confer any legal authority or jurisdiction on the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff has no power to exorcise the func tions of a bishop in the colony of Natal, or at all events, has no jurisdiction as bishop in the colony, and is not him self subject to the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Cape Town as his metropolitan, or to any other spiritual or ecclesias tical jurisdiction whatever; and we submit that, if such is the case, the objects for which the funds heroinbefore men tioned were inscribed and invested have not been ob-' tamed, which objects were, in the first place, to secure the pastoral care of a bishop for the clergy and people of the diocese of Natal, and, in the second place, to bring such bishop under the jurisdiction of the metropolitan, himself being subject to the Archbishop of Canterbury. And we declare our belief that none of the contributors to the Colonial Bishops' Fund intended to con tribute towards the support of a bishop such as the judg ment of the Judicial Committee of her Majesty's Privy Council has decided the plaintiff to be ; that is to say, a bishop without any jurisdiction over his clergy on the one hand, and entirely independent of all metropolitan juris diction on the other." The defendants proceed to allege that the clergy of the diocese of Natal have refused obedi ence to Bishop Colenso ; that one of the fundamental prin ciples of all arrangements for the erection and endowment of colonial bishoprics was the maintenance and preservation of strict connection, in doctrine and discipline, between such bishops and the United Church of England and Ireland ; that all the archbishops and bishops of such Church are trustees for the endowment of the see of Natal, and, as such, are authorised to withhold the income from the plaintiff. The case will be argued before Sir John Romilly, in the Rolls Court, at the commencement of the forthcoming Michaelmas Term. MARKETS-1 his Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market the arrivals of English wheat were moderate. The supply of new produce was received in very middling condition ; consequently old wheats were held at fully late rates. Generally speaking, however, sales progressed slowly, at Monday's currency. There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on sale. For most descriptions there was a moderate demand, and prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request, at full currencies. With barley the market was very moderately supplied. The trade was firm for all qualities, at fully late rates. The malt trade was firm, at fully late rates. Oats were in good supply. Most qualities were in steady request, at about Monday's quotations. For beans and peas the trade was firm, and late rates were well supported. The flour trade was steady on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

COBURG, Aug. 27. There were uneasy glances at the clouds all day yesterday and the day before at Coburg, and anxious consultations of the weather-glass. But such a sun blazed out at daybreak this morning, and held so undiminished a sway in the heavens the whole length of the day, that I hardly believe the Queen's pro verbial spell over the weather ever was more tri umphantly asserted than on this occasion. The little town of Coburg had put on her best holyday dress, and every house was gay with garlands, festoons, and streamers, coats of arms, masses of flowers, and every variety of simple but tasteful devices. Every window-sill, every mullion and cornice, up to the topmast gable, was mantled with evergreens. The last finish had been given to the public buildings in the Market-place. The Town-hall and the Govern ment offices were hung with flags drooping down from the roofs to the basement, and the same vivid colours waved from lines and flagstaffs all across the square. These colours were chiefly the green and white of Coburg, the black and white of Prus sia, the red and yellow of Baden, the red and black of Wurtemberg, and the red and white of Darm stadt. The Union Jack and the Royal Standard of England were not forgotten, nor yet that German tricolour, that unfortunate Schwartz-Roth-Gold, which never, perhaps, more emphatically than at this moment represented a bare idea, a mere geo graphical expression. The heavier wrappings had been removed from the statue of the Prince Consort, and there it now stood, in the centre of the square, with no other covering than a thin white linen cloth ; opposite to it was the Queen's pavilion, an elegant structure, all scarlet and gold, with a canopy supported by 11 columns, and above it, in two escutcheons sur mounted by a royal crown, the arms of England and Coburg, and again over the crown the English standard. All round the square, right and left and opposite, were the tribunes, all walled with ever greens ; some for distinguished strangers, others for the notabilities of the place. The profusion of all that nature lavishes, most lovely and most charm ing to the eye in field, garden, or forest, gave the somewhat homely but not commonplace, and, in deed, highly picturesque, town a look of half-rural festivity, which had little to envy the more gorgeous shows of motley drapery and glittering tinsel with which southern lands usually celebrate their solem nities. The crowd, even the privileged many who had admission to the reserved galleries, began to fill their places soon after two in the afternoon. So broil ing, pitiless a sun I hardly ever remember having to withstand on the north side of the Alps. Hats and umbrellas screened us only imperfectly ; the in tense glare made eyes and heads ache. Yet before us, together with the Duke's battalions muster ing up in the square, and whole legions of students and schoolboys in their tiny saucer-like caps with invisible brims, there came upon the torrid pave ment two fair bands of young damsels, all dressed in white, but distinguishable on one side by green, on the other by pink ribands. All these girls had wreaths of flowers in their hands, all of them were bare-headed, bare-armed, bare-shouldered. How they did manage to hold their ground for two roast ing hours is what we could not help wondering all the time. At a quarter to four their martyrdom and our own was rewarded by the arrival of Court car riages bearing the suite of the Royal personages. Soon after them the Royal personages themselves made their appearance. In the first carriage, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Prince Alfred ; in the second, the Princess of Wales, the Crown Princess of Prussia, and the Prince of Wales ; in the third, the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg, the Princess Alice, and the Crown Prince of Prussia ; in the fourth, the Princess Clementine, the Princess Amalia, and the Duke of Brabant ; in the fifth, Prince Louis of Hesse, the Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Augus tus of Saxe-Coburg ; in the sixth, Duke Ernest of Wurtemberg and Prince Leopold ; in the seventh, Prince Hermann of Hehenlohe, Prince William Lobenstein, the Prince Hereditary of Reuss, and Count Alexander Mensdorff ; in the eighth, Prince Philip and Count Alphonse Mensdorff. In attendance upon the Queen were the Duchess of Roxburgh and Lady Churchill, General Grey, and Sir John Cowell, lately created a K.C.B. by her Majesty at Rosenan. In the suite of the Prince of Wales, Colonel Teesdale and Mr. Holtzmann ; at tached to the Duke of Cambridge, Col. Clifton. In the suite of Prince Arthur, Capt. Elphinstone, &c. The friends of the late Prince Consort assembled here from England and from all parts of Germany. I noticed Playfair, Professor Hoffmann, &c., Lord Granville and his secretary, the Hon. R. H. Meade, were in attendance, and also the Hon. C. A. Murray, her Majesty's Minister at Dresden, and Mrs. Murray, &c. The pavilion was soon filled with all the Royal personages, who took their seats and waited for the Queen's arrival from Rosenau. Soon after 4 the bells from all the steeples in Coburg set up their loud peals, the cannon thundered from the fortress on the hill, thg bands struck up the solemn notes of the English national anthem, and the Queen's carriages drove up amidst the loud shouts of the multitufle. in the first carriage were her Majesty, Prince Arthur, and Princess Beatrice ; in the second, the ladies and gentlemen of the Queen's suite. Of the Royal family only the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary were absent. They had remained at Rumpenheim, the summer residence of the Landgrave of Hesse. The Queen was received at the carriage door by the Duke of Saxe-Coburg. She soon appeared in her place in front of the pavilion ; she wore deep mourning, black dress and bonnet, with a black veil thrown back, and under her bonnet that cap a la Mary Stuart with which the English public have lately become familiar. The Royal ladies around her wore colours, and the variety of their lively costumes presented a striking contrast to the sable hues in which the principal personage was attired. Prince Leopold and Prince Arthur wore Highland costumes. Prince Alfred wore the Coburg uniform. All the other Princes and their attendants displayed the English colours. The Queen stood up in her place whilst anthems were sung by the chorus, with an accompaniment by the band. She stood up while the Burgermeister of Coburg, from a very low platform in the middle of the square before the statue, delivered a long—an unconsciously long—address, every word of which was lost to the tribunes, and to which no answer was vouchsafed. When the speech came at last to an end there were more lofty strains from the band, more peals of the bells, more discharges of artillery, and at a given signal the linen wrappers of the statue collapsed, and the gilt-bronze of the hero's effigy stood out, all glittering in the flaming sun, with its countenance fixed upon the countenance of the Royal lady by whose unwearied love it had been reared on its pedestal. Presently the bevies of damsels in green and pink ribands, who had been so long baking and waiting for the performance of the part assigned to them in the ceremony, stepped forward, and one by one laid before the pedestal their wreaths and garlands. There was a new anthem by the chorus, and as its last notes died away the Queen withdrew, and we all thought she had gone back to her carriage, when she was seen at the head of all her family, walking across the square up to the monument, where she handed to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg the bunch of flowers which had longlain before her on the balcony of the pavilion. Those flowers were laid by the Duke on the pedestal, and along with them all those of the Princesses and Princes, till the fragment mass rose high up to the feet of the statue. Her Majesty then walked back to the pavilion, and presently her carriage left the square amid the loud shouts of the deeply -moved people. The whole ceremony lasted hardly 20 minutes. When the last of the Royal carriages had disappeared, the multi tude, which bad long been pent up at the inlets .o.t the market-place, broke in like a swelling tide upon the empty area, which was soon black with its swarm ing masses. Only a few minutes later, the Queen, who had been driving round the gaily-variegated streets, reappeared once more unexpectedly on the densely-beset square to obtain one more glimpse of the newly-inaugurated monument. The crowd, among whom her carriage could with difficulty make its way, greeted her enthusias tically on her progress, and it was noticed that as the Queen passed she had a smile and a kind word for the sculptor, Mr. Theed, who, together with Messrs. Thomas and Winterhalter, were stand ing on the steps of the pedestal. I have been concise, and, no doubt, dry in the above descriptian, because the scene, although pleas ing, and even touching, had nothing in it that could be called imposing, and the very atmosphere of the place seemed to give it something of German domes ticity and sentiment. The feelings of those many actors and spectators in the cermony could not, however, be analysed so briefly. There were not a few among those present whose imagination could go far back into the past and bring it to bear on the present with all its whelming contrast. Even as the principal personage stood before me in her weeds on the platform of that pavilion, my memory could conjure back the image of a young, almost too young Princess, as she passed before me, much dos& than I saw her now, all dressed in white, between two lines of her loyal subjects, on the terrace at Windsor, more than five-and-twenty years ago. The career that was then opening led to one of the most fortu nate and glorious reigns in English history ; but its lustre, after so many years of domestic bliss, was partly obscured by a great domestic calamity. The sharer in all that happiness and that greatness—he who was at that time just expected to come over to England from this very spot—where was he now ? He now stood before her " even with such majesty, such warm life," as all the trick of art can give, but was no less a mere recollection, a monument of the past ! There was many a moment in that short space of 20 minutes that sent a thrill through the veins of even the most collected and unimpressionable spectator. The cannon announcing the Queen's arrival, her appearance in front of the platform, the falling of the drapery that enshrouded the " dead likeness," none of these was so overpowering, nothing took us so much by surprise, as the simple act of the Queen walking up to the monument to pay her tribute of affection to the dear departed. That, I believe, was the essentially German part of the performance ; it was the touch of nature that came home to every man's bosom. One could almost have cried out " Music, awake him ; strike !" and expect the transformation in the " Winter's Tale" reproduced before us. Her Majesty went through the whole ceremony with her wonted command over her feelings. The Princess of Prussia was visibly affected by the scene before her. The sun was too painfully dazzling, and the gilding of the bronze too vivid, to allow one to do justice to the merits of the statue as a work of art, or to enable me at this moment to give a description of it. The model has long been before the London public, and every one is aware of the rare advantages the sculptor, Mr. Theed, had, in his long intercourse with the Prince Consort, in the mask he was allowed to take of the countenance after death, and of the still rarer skill with which he availed himself of those advantages again and again to reproduce the most perfect likeness of a countenance so familiar to all of us—a countenance in which the worth within so happily harmonised with the outward beauty ; a countenance no less endeared to all beholders by the most exquisitely handsome set of features than by the effable benevolence of its expression. The execution in bronze by the Nuremberg founders is greatly to the satisfaction of the artist himself. The statue is 10ft. high. The pedestal is of polished granite, and bears in front an inscription with the names and titles of the Prince—" Prinz Gemahl von Gross-Britannien and bland," with the dates of his birth and death ; at the back the date of the erection of the monument, with the fol lowing words—" Das Gedachtniss der Gerechten bleibt in Segen" (" The righteous shall be in ever lasting remembrance"—Ps. cxii., 6). His Highness of Saxe Coburg gave a reception in the evening, at 9 o'clock, in the handsome " Giant's Hall," a splendid room with immense caryatides, in the Ehrenburg, the town palace. Most of the Royal Family of England were there, with their relatives. The Queen was not present, and it was understood that she would not quit Rosenau for the evening. The assemblage was select, not large. --~- His Serene Highness Prince George of Solms has arrived at the Hanoverian Legation in Grosvenor-place from visiting the camp at Chalons. The prince leaves town in a day or two for a tour in Scotland. The Duke of Leinster has been entertaining a family party at Carton House, Maynooth, including the Marquis and Marchioness of Kildare, Lord and Lady Otho Fitgeratd, Mr. and Lady Jane Repton, &c. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne have arrived at Lansdowne House, Berkeley-square. The Marchioness of Salisbury and family have arrived at their residence in Arlington-street, from passing several weeks at Bournemouth, on their way to Hatfield House, Herts. The Earl and Countess of Essex have arrised at their country seat, Cassiobury Park, Watford, from Ow Continent. The Earl and Countess of Hopetoun have arrived at Long's Hotel from Paris. The Earl of St. Germans is expected to return home shortly from the Continent. The noble earl has derived great benefit by his visit to Spa. The Earl of Clarendon is expected shortly to arrive in town from Wiesbaden. The Earl de Grey has left Carlton Gardens to join the countess at Studley-park, near Ripon. Viscount Goderich is quite recovered from an attack of measles. Lord Stanley, M.P., is staying with the Earl and Countess of Derby at Knowsley Park, near Liverpool. The Hon. W. P. and Lady Emma Talbot have arrived at Knowsley. Viscountess Royston and infant daughter, according to the last letters from Paris, are both doing well VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT LAMBTON PARK.—About three thousand volunteers were reviewed on Monday at Lambton Park, Durham, by Lord Durham and Colonel Roney. After the review there was a sham fight, which was much enjoyed by the spectators. One accident marred the pleasures of the day. Probably by the indifferent serving of the vent of his gun an artilleryman had his arm shattered, besides sustaining other injuries. FUNERAL OF A VOLUNTEER AND FREEMASON AT WlNDSOR.—Yesterday at two o'clock the remains of Mr. Charles Stuart Voules, solicitor, of Windsor, and one of the leaders of the Conservative portion of the con stituency of the Royal borough, were interred at the cemetery in the suburbs of the town. Mr. Voules, in addi tion to holding several municipal officers in the borough, where he was much esteemed and respected, was a mem.- ber of the Berks Volunteer Battalion, and also master of the Castle Lodge of Freemasons. The funeral was con ducted privately, but the corpse was met at the entrance to the cemetery by the Windsor Volunteers, under the command of Captain the Hon. Leslie Ruthven, and the members of the Castle and Etonian Lodges of Freemasons , and followed to the grave, by the side of which the Belt' Mr. Rooke, who performed the ceremony, delivered a funeral oration. ADULTERATION OF FOOD AND UNJUST WEIGHTS. —A number of councils-general in France have ex pressed a wish for a revision of the law in the sale by weight and in the adulteration of articles of food, so that the penalties should be heavier and more efficacious. Th e council of the Indre-et-Loire has done more ; it has ac" companied the wish with a proposal which might bo trans" formed into a legislative enactment. According to it, flu e and imprisonment should in the generality of cases be abe lished, and publicity substituted. This last would consist, not merely of a placard or a paper—which is torn ° lf almost as soon as posted up—but of a large board to be hooked on to the shop of the offender—to remain there one, two, or three months, according to the gravity of the offence. CONVICTION FOR INFRINGING THE ORDER 114 COUNCIL 'TO BURY DISEASED CATTLE. —At the Chelmsford Petty Sessions, Mr. J. Seabrook, of Old Lodg e Farm, has been summoned for infringing the recent ordere in Council by not causing a cow which had died of th u_ cattle plague to be buried on the premises. T he proses. e tion was instituted by the committee appointed in neighbourhood to endeavour to stop the p ro g ress of th.,°_ cattle plague. It seemed that a cow , belon g in g to the_ociu'.. fondant, died of the cattle plague o n the 21st., and def dant sent for a knacker, w h o came and flayed the mai l on the farm, and took it away in his cart for the purPeuet °it being boiled down.

A fair supply of new hops is on sale, and the trade gene rally rules heavy, with a downward tendency in prices. The accounts from the plantations are very favourable. WHITECHAPEL. The supply of meat on sale is moderate, and the trade is steady, as follows : Beef, from 2s 10d to 4s 8d ; mutton, 4s Od to 5s 10d ; veal, 3s 101 to 4s 10d; and pork, Bs 8d to 5s Od per 81bs by the carcase. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH AT TWICKENHAM STATION.—At nine o'clock this morning an old gentleman of the name of Bacon, residing at Nelson-terrace, Twickenham-common, entered the Twickenham station, and took a return ticket for Kingston. Seeing a friend on the opposite platform, ho crossed the rails to speak to him. As he appeared to be heated with the hurried walk to the station, his friend advised him to sit down in the waiting room. He had hardly taken his seat., when he fell heavily forward on his face. Mr. Freeman, who was in the wait ing-room, with the deceased gentleman's friend, Mr. Wetherick, had barely time to take off his cravat and shirt collar before he breathed his last. Tho deceased gentle man was about 70 years of age. A SCENE win A MAD DOG.—On Saturday evening a scene of terrible confusion was created in Mr. Wells' fancy bazaar, Whitefriar-gate, Hull. A dog, frothing at the mouth, and indisputably mad, rushed into the bazaar and endeavoured to jump across the counter at two young ladies who were in attendance. Fortunately it only succeeded in getting hold of one of them by the dress, and the woman ran into the street and fainted. The other young lady was then the object of attack, and she expe rienced great difficulty in keeping out of the animal's reach. The owner of the dog, who was in the street, offered £1 to any one who would secure the dog, and at last a working man took off his coat and succeeded in throwing it over the animal, and thus removed him.
