The Emperor of the FRENCH having decided no' s to go to war just now, there has been nothing to disturb the celebration of his fête-day, and in some respects the affair passed off very well, for the weather was very fine, and therefore many were able to enjoy themselves. The EMPEROR, as an act of grace, pardoned or commuted the sentences upon more than eight hundred military offenders, which was a politic arrangement, be sides affording general satisfaction. Unfortunately the day did not pass over without any draw backs, for in the evening a crush occurred in which several persons were killed and a consi derable number were injured. Many persons will doubtless be satisfied at the decision of the EM PEROR respecting the war ; but the real question is, how long will the present peace last, and what will it be worth ? France must either yield the first place in foreign affairs to Prussia, or else be constantly striving to resist her encroach ments. How long she may be able to do so with the mere force of diplomacy will remain for the future to decide ; but we may be certain that, while the Emperor NAPOLEON lives, he will not be content to be put back while his arrogant ally is in the ascendant. For some reasons, certainly, we may all find cause to approve of the recent decision of the French EMPEROR. It has put off the evil day, and afforded opportunity for the harassed soldiers of Prussia to rest after their hard work, and it will allow the more speedy resto ration of the tranquillity which hhs been so much disturbed by the Continental hostilities and the period of anxiety which preceded them. When we consider the real interests of Europe, and look more to the ultimate effects than to the immediate object, we may doubt if, after all, a collision between the rival Powers might not have been productive of some beneficial effects. It cannot be for the gain or the good of Germany that the plan of Count BISMARCK should be allowed to succeed. If matters go on for some time after the fashion that now prevails, there will either be a complete revulsion of feeling taking place which will subvert the present authorities, who are carrying all before them, or else the Germans will have gone so far back in real freedom and enlightened progress that it will take years of toil and trouble to be where they now are, or rather were previous to the outbreak of this war. It is very much to be doubted if those are not mis taken who think that the apparent inconsistency displayed by the French EMPEROR a r i ses f rom his having changed his mind. Such vacillation is not like him, and he must have known very well that a refusal was what he would most probably meet with. He could not have considered it an advantage to be thus checkmated before the eyes of Europe, and if he did not wish to resort to war, in case of non-compliance with his request, he could have sounded the Prussian Cabinet, and ascertained their intentions in a more reserved manner. The threatened fracas with France being over, the Prussian Government have nothing else to do but rejoice at their success and consolidate their plans. Fetes and congratulations are the order of the day, and of course BISMARCK is for the time a sort of demigod. It is said that the peace negocia tions between Prussia and Bavaria are progressing favourably, - which is so far fortunate, as it will pre vent more sanguinary contests taking place. The new Prussian Electoral Law, which has been laid before the Prussian Chambers, appears, so far as we can judge of it at first sight, to be mode ra t e an d not devoid of merit. Of course it is a very elaborate production, as all the details of German States are sure to be; but it promises more than might have been expected, only the danger is whether the half of it will ever be practically arrived at. Very likely it is intended that this arrange ment shall satisfy people at the time, and f afterwards it should turn out that its working is not satisfactory, then the Government can either so alter it as to change its meaning or else refuse to act upon it altogether. No doubt many will go into rhapsodies concerning the liberality of the clauses of this bill, and declare that great benefits will accrue thereby to Prussia, and consequently thereon to the large possessions she has acquired. But we would rather dwell upon the probability that exists for Carrying these provisions into effect than oPecu" late upon their merits. It cannot be . denied that BISMARCK is a consummate actor, and that he shows zeal . and discernment worthy of a better cause, but of what avail are these qualities to the progress of the people whom he rules over? They are forced to ply their trades in his opinion, and assist him in the execution of his schemes whether they are willing or not so to do. What, then, is the use of drawing up programmes like this Electoral Law, when we know very well that no thing will be carried into effect that the Government does not approve of ? Thus we find that the " right of election is to be exercised by personally de positing an unsigned voting paper in a box to be provided for the purpose?" but will not the effect of this concession be really invalidated by the course pursued towards the Deputies when they are elected. We know from past experience that whenever any questions of vital importance arose which called for a definite expression of opinion from the Chamber of Deputies, that the Ministers were sure to de nounce those who acted contrary to their wishes, and were not sparing of their abuse in replying to them. It seems but lost labour to allow every Prussian who has completed his twenty-fifth year to vote, and to introduce vote by ballot, when tyranny and despotism are so rampant in high places, and when no real expression of opinion on the part of the people is allowed to beigiven. Will the Govern ment that prevented the festival at Cologne, and abruptly dissolved the Chambers, that carried on the administration of the country without the Budget being passed, and trampled on the statutes of the Constitution, now return from the errors of their ways and become the generous dispensers of a just policy ? No such transformation is, we fear, in store for Prussia, and the people must reap what they have sown in permitting an unscrupulous Minister to have his own way to so great an extent, and allowing themselves to be led away by the illusion of military glory so far that they have lost sight of their real interests at home and their integrity abroad. The period of the Danish war was the turning point in Prussian free dom, and they suffered that opportunity to be lost, so intent were they upon seeking for an aggrandise ment of territory, and of manifesting their impor tance in the sight of the nations of Europe, a deci sion that is likely to cost them dear. The importance of a good supply of pure water to the inhabitants of a great city is becoming more and more generally recognised. Unfortunately, in spite of our sanitary and scientific knowledge, the population of the metropolis has a good deal to com plain of in this respect, and until we give up the systematic poisoning of our rivers by sewage we cannot hope to escape the evil consequences of drinking unwholesome water. We are glad to find that the Liverpool authorities are taking active steps for the better supply of water to the town. Liverpool has long enjoyed pre-eminence among our ports and cities, but it can, unfortunately, also claim a rate of mortaility considerably higher than that of any other great town in the kingdom. It is, of course, extremely populous, and many cir cumstances tend to deteriorate the public health, but when once the inhabitants have fairly made up their minds that something can be done to diminish the mortality, and have addressed themselves in earnest to the improvement of their sanitary condition, we shall, no doubt, see the death rate of Liverpool rapidly decline. Pure air it may be difficult for the resi dents in the poorer and more crowded parts of the city to obtain, though something might be done in this respect, but pure water has been so abundantly proved to be of primary importance in a sanitary point of view that the question of a good and ample water supply may well engage the attention of all interested in the health of the city. The visitation of cholera, though happily not severe in Liverpool, has been sufficiently marked to excite considerable apprehension, and to arouse men from their habitual indifference on sanitary matters ; and, accordingly, we find that the water supply of Liverpool has of late been anxiously discussed. There have been two very adventurous projects submitted to the Town Council, either of which would entail con siderable outlay and exertion. The one is to draw a supply from the Cumberland Lakes, the other from the Bala Lake in North Wales. The engineer to the Corporation has reported in favour of the Bala Lake, and the estimated expenditure is about a million and a half. A special meeting of the Town Council was held a day or two ago to consider the subject, when an animated discus sion took place on the merits of the respective schemes. The supply of water to Liverpool is at present obtained from the Rivington works, and from wells sunk in the red sandstone rock under- lying the town. It was contended by the opponents of the new scheme that the Rivington works had already cost £ 2 ,000,000, and that the supply obtained from them, with the assistance of the wells, was quite sufficient for the wants of the town. LiVerpool, they urged, had already spent much more for its water supply than Manchester and Glasgow, and quite as much in proportion as London. This argument, however, is a very unsound one, since the question is not what amount each town or city should spend to keep pace with others, but what expenditure the necessities of its population may require. It is obvious that some towns from their geogra phical position may have to spend a great deal more in obtaining pure water than others, though we should certainly imagine that good water was to be had nearer Liverpool than the Welsh or Cum berland Lakes. Liverpool is rich enough to afford whatever expenditure is necessary, and the money could not be better laid out than in securing a good water supply for the increasing population of the city, which now numbers half-a-million, and in eight or ten years will, according to the present rate of increase, be considerably larger. Besides thi s , the gradual extension of the town will tend to deteriorate the existing wells, so that it will not do to depend too much upon them. The conclu. sor e o f supply before proceeding sion at which the Council ultimately arriv e d was that engineers of talent and ex perience should be employed to investigate to the the consideration s of local u larger and more distant operations. 01 may very well be The example of Liverpool followed in London, and it would be well if com- petent persons were employed in water investigating the whole question of our metropolitan supply. It has been proposed to sink wells belowwitthhe the Lo cer tainty London clay, at a great cost, no doubt, but of obtaining pure water. It has also been suggested to bring water from a very great distance to London. The whole question is of such great importance that it deserves to be fully discussed and examined in every possible aspect. We do not need the experience of an epidemic to show us that the habitual consumption of impure water is a strong predisposing cause of disease, and that we can never get a healthy population in districts in which the water supply is impure or insufficient. The resource which medical men at present advise is for poor persons to boil the water they drink ; but it speaks very tadly for our metropolitan authorities if they are willing to rest satisfied with such a state of things. We boast not unreasonably of the skill of our engineers and , TIE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17 1866. the acquirements of our men of science. Surely, then, we need not rest contented with boiling impure water when there is no lack of running streams in England. The provisions of the new Sanitary Act are very useful and important, and it is to be hoped that our various local authorities will avail themselves to the full of the extended powers conferred upon them. Every one who has inquired at all into such matters must be aware how much divided authority inter fers with the practical working of the laws hitherto in existence, and how often a question of routine or etiquette may lead to serious mischief. The first ten sections contain important provisions with respect to efficient house drainage ; the eleventh gives power to the local authority to supply its district with water by digging wells, making reser voirs , &c. This is a valuable provision, especially at the present time, and we hope that it will be put into active practice. Another clause empowers the chief officer of police to deal with the nuisances of a district, if . the nuisance authority is proved to have neglected his duty, but the police may not enter a house for this purpose without the consent of the occupier or a magistaate's warrant. To the list of legal nuisances is added houses overcrowded, dirty, ill-ventilated factories and workshops, and furnaces not consuming their own smoke. All these are fruitful sources of mischief, and their being placed under the control of the nuisance authority is a great public good. Among the other provi sions are clauses for the disinfecting of houses after contagious sickness, the provision of carriages for the removal of the sick, the reception of the corpses of those who have died from a contagious disorder, and empowering the local authority to provide tem porary hospitals. Penalties are to be enforced against persons letting houses or driving hackney carriages known to have been used by persons suffer ing from contagious sickness without previously disinfecting them, and altogether due care seems to have been taken for guarding the public health against some of the dangers to which it is at present exposed without interfering with the liberty of the subject. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARTS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The clouds which lowered in the horizon at the time my letter was posted yesterday cleared off, and the opinion is universal that there never was such a magnificent fête in Paris, nor could there be elsewhere. From the Tuileries to the Arch of the Etoile was a blaze of many-coloured lights. Not only were the trees illuminated, but all the grass-plots and flower-gardens were decorated with lamps of every hue. They who had come from far distances must have thought the trouble of the jour ney well repaid. Imagine miles of light of all ' colours, Chinese lanterns, beautiful flags, and fanciful ornaments. Nothing in the Arabian tales or Oriental imagining could come up to the reality of the beauty of the Place de la Concorde and the Champs Elysees. The effect of the fire works was magical. The Seine appeared as if on fire. The reflection was thrown for many a mile. The multitude was countless or would have taken months to count. In the French calendar the 15th of August is marked as the Fete de l'Assomption, but there was, in fact, a Saint Napoleon. By ancient writers he is styled Neopolus or Neopolis in the Roman lan guage, which afterwards in Italian became Napo leone, and in French Napoleon. Saint Napoleon was celebrated by birth and attainments. He flourished in the reign of persecution under Diocle tian and Maximieu. He died for his faith, and, after having been cruelly tormented, he was thrown half dead into prison, where he lingered for some time. I hear that there were some accidents arising from the immense crowd in the Place de la Concorde. The Feast of the Assumption in honour of the happy death of the Virgin Mary and her glorious assumption in heaven is, says the Abbe Godescard, " a. pious tradition, according to which the Holy Virgin was resuscitated immediately after death, and, by a special privilege, the soul, uninhabiting the body, was received into heaven. Andre of Crete and Gregory de Tours attest that this tradi tion existed in the East in the seventh century, and in the West in the sixth century. It is, besides, founded upon the sentiments of piety and respect which we owe to the Mother of God. It was ap propriate that this sacred, uncorrupt body should not be subject to decay, but that it should be imme diately resuscitated and placed in the possession of glory." Some say that Mary died at Ephesus, others that it was at Jerusalem. This point the Abbe says he cannot determine. In addition to the various games and diversions yesterday, including the climbing up a greasy pole for watches and jewellery (the Mat de Couragne), the theatres were opened gratis at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I perhaps need hardly say that they were all crowded to suffocation. The price paid by Government last year foi these gratuitous representations was 80,000 f. Probably the amount was about the same yesterday. The trial for the great railway robbery is about to take place before the Court of Assize of the Seine. The accused are three in number—M. Berthome, cashier ; M. Dupray de la Maherie, a printer ; and the Prince de Crony Chanel. The latter is not in custody. I gave some particulars of this robbery at the time. The sum abstracted from the Sous Comptoir of the railways is no less three millions of francs. The Minister of Marine has received some infor mation valuable to the herring fishery on the coast of Scotland, from which it appears that for some time past on the northern coast the fishing was very successful, and that the French fishermen were dis appointed because they left the ports of France too late, and did not go sufficiently far northwards. They therefore could take no part with the 3,200 English boats in the Gulf of Moray. An immense number of herrings had been taken. M. Gendre, a furniture dealer, at Rouen, lately bought several articles from a person in distress for 110 f. While cleaning one of the articles, a drawer, which opened with great difficulty, was found to contain a bag in which were 5,125 f. M. Gendre hastened to the person of whom he had bought the furniture and restored the money. It had been left ih el literary fromhr i l r e yGautier.and m to him by will some time previously, an d h e h a d never thought of o p en i ng th e d rawer .

The King of France, Charles VIII., had a peculiar taste for the Commentaries Caesar ; a translation of which was presented to him by the celebrated monk, Robert Gaguin, in 1480. The Viceroy of Sicily, Ferdinand de Gouzaque, sent to France a scientific commission to study upon the spot the campaigns of Julius Caesar. The 40 plans drawn lip by this commission are still in existence. The great Conde patronised the translation of the Com mentaries by Perrot d'Ablancourt ; Louis Philippe of Orleans, surnamed Egalite, ordered a plan of the campaigns of Caesar in the Gauls. Napoleon 1., at St. Helena, dictated to Count Marchand un Precis' des Guerres de Caesar; " and the Emperor Napo leon 111. is about to raise to the glory of this man, the most perfect, perhaps, whom nature ever pro duced, a monument, which, for the greatness of the plan, the richness of the materials, for the accuracy of the appreciations and the position of the author, from whom nothing is hidden of things military or political, may justly be considered as definitive." M. Gautier proceeds to say that the second volume which he has under consideration contains the war of the Gallia according to the " Coramentariee." Ln this history the august writer has taken for the foundation of his recital, as often as he could, the text of Caesar himself. That brief, summary prose, haughtily rapid, where the idea is of the action, and where the author speaks of him only in the third person, may perhaps be discussed, annotated, ex plained, but not ornamented. It is complete ; and those hasty notes, written or dictated every even ing, have the imperious force of the absolute. Cicero, who was a good judge, said that " Caesar had writ ten memoirs worthy of every praise. Deprived of all oratory art, his style is similar to a body without clothing—naked, straight, and gracious." The his tory of the campaigns of Caesar in the Gauls opens with elevated political considerations upon the neces sity, the bearing, and the value of that war. Caesar, according to the illustrious author, employed on it, from pure patriotism, a long portion of his life, which he could have rendered useful in a more di rect and rapid mode for the profit of his personal ambition. Had he been covetous of military glory, the East offered him more easy triumphs and a richer booty. M. Gautier proceeds to remark upon the strategic plans of Caesar, and explains the inci dents connected with his passage by the Alps to France on the left bank of the Saone. The criti cism is altogether remarkable, and characterised by elegance and just appreciation. BANS OF FRANCE. PARIS, August 16.

THE ARMISTICE BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND ITALY. FLORENCE, Aug. 14. General Petitti has addressed the following de spatch to the President of the Council of Ministers : UDINE, Aug. 12, 9.20 p.m. I communicate to your Excellency the text of the armistice convention. I had obtained from the Imperial Commissioner the insertion of the following conditions :- 1. That the inhabitants of the Italian Tyrol and other localities re-occupied by the Austrian troops should not be molested for their acts or the opinions they have expressed during the Italian occupation. 2. That the former employes of the Austrian Government should be put to no inconvenience on account of their having given in their adhesion to the Italian Government. 3. That the forced loan should not be collected, and that no war tax should be imposed. 4. Free navigation of the canals and rivers, of whioh the mouths are in territory not occupied by the Austrians. The Archduke did not approve the first three points, which in his opinion were unfit for a mili tary convention and beyond our competency. The Austrian Commissioner has assured me that his Government will show itself generous towards per sons politically compromised, and will collect neither forced loan nor war taxes. The fourth point was found to be needless, the free navigation of those waters not being disputed. (Signed) GENERAL PETITTI. Armistice Convention concluded to-day between the Military Commissioners of the Italian and Austrian Armies. 1. The armistice will commence on the Ist August at midday, and will last four weeks—that is to say, to the 9th September. Hostilities cannot re commence without 10 days' notice. In the absence of notice the armistice will be considered prolonged. 2. The limits of the territories occupied by the troops, during the duration of the armistice, will be for the Austrian troops the following : (a) The present Lombardo-Venetian frontier ; from the Lagodi Garda to the Po. (b) The Po to within one kilometre below Ostiglia, and thence a straight line to within 7i kilometres below Legnano, on the Adige, near the town of Bartolomea. (c) The continuation of the said line to the Fratta, the right bank of this stream to Pavruano, thence a line through Lobbia to the confluence of the Chiampo with the Alpone ; then the right bank of the latter to the summit of the Tre Croci on the political frontier. (d) The political frontier from the mouth of the river Ansa—Porto-Buso to near Villa, then a line 7i kilometres round the outer works of Palmanuova. This line commences at Villa, passes between Gouars and Morsano, and terminates at Percotto- Torre—the left bank of the Torre at Tarcento, and thence by Prato Magnana to Salt, between Oseppo and Gemora. At the Tagliamento, the left bank of the river to the foot of Mount Cretis, and the back of the hills which separate the valleys of San Pietro and Gaito to Mount Cogliano on the politiCal frontier. (e). Round Fort Malghera a circle 7f kilometres in circumference. The Government has the right to use that part of the Padua and Treviso railway comprised in this circle. ( J ). The same circle of 7i kilometres round the outer works of the other fortifications of Venice. In the localities where there is not sufficient ter ritory the lagunes, and if there be outer canals near these circles, the inner bank of such canals. The fort of Cavanella d'Adige will not be occu pied by either of the two armies. The navigation of the Lorco Canal and of the Po upon the east shall be free to the Royal Italian troops. (g.) The limits of all the ports of Venetia not occupied by the Austrian troops. 3. The provisioning of Venice shall be free. 4. Access to the territories reserved to the Aus trian troops is forbidden to the Royal troops and the Italian volunteers. Access to the territories reserved to the Italian troops is equally prohibited to the Austrian troops and volunteers. Leave is, however, granted to the officers of either army to cross, upon duty, the territory reserved to the other under reciprocal escort. _ _ 5. The prisoners shall be reciprocally exchanged. Austria will send hers to Udine ; Italy those iu her possession to Peschiera. 6. Italian officials in the territories occupied by the Imperial and Royal troops shall not be molested, neither shall the Austrian officials and military men on half-pay residing in the territories occupied by the Italian troops. 7. The return home of interned subjects of both parties is permitted ; nevertheless they shall not be allowed to enter the fortresses occupied by the troops of the Government by which they have been interned. (Signed) A. PETITTI, General. CHARLES MORING. Cornions, Aug. 12. General Garibaldi has published the following order of the day : Head-quarters, Storo, Aug. 9. To the Volunteers,—Scarcely organised, you have marched against the enemy. Clothed, God knows how, and still worse armed, you have nevertheless marched with the enthusiasm by which the holiest of causes inspired you, and, ivith the bearing of war like veteran soldiers, you have responded to the ex pectations of the King and the country, repulsing the Austrians in ten sanguinary engagements. The noble victims strewn along your glorious path testify to the desperation of the contests that have taken place. Chiassi, Caste? Hui, Lombardi, Rottini, and hundreds of our bravest are no more. These gaps will be very difficult to fill up in your ranks, Your wounded and mutilated comrades have been prostrated by thousands, and, neverthe less, I have not seen the slightest sign of discourage ment among you. I have not heard a single word of despair. The still incomplete liberation of your enslaved brethren has been your only complaint. With emotion I have heard none but the cry of war resound in your ranks. During the truce you have been patient and filled with zeal ; you have been accustomed to the management of arms—an exer cise necessary for so large a number of all your young comrades. With pride I have heard you sigh for the end of a truce which found you in course of pursuing the enemy ; and when, at the expiration of this truce, you received the order to rush anew to the fight, I found you animated by that joyous satisfaction with which men go to a banquet. May God bless you ! Italy may feel proud of you, and if, at the end of a month you will still have occupied in the exercises of war, the foreigner has not ceased to make excessive demands, then, by the side of our brave brethren of the army (yes, I declare it in the inspiration of the national con science), we will break the last fetters that still dis honour this free but unhappy people. S. GARIBALDI. FRANCE. PARIS, Aug. I6.—Two o'clock.—The market opened with a greater appearance of firmness than than has been the case for the last few days, but this did not last long, and a decline in all Securities showed that affairs had not as yet resumed their ordinary course, and that the public feeling was far from being at ease as to the position of political affairs.

The extent of property in buildings and merchan dise at present consumed is roughly calculated at from £200,000 to £300,000. The fire broke out at about 7 o'clock on Friday morning in some merchant's stores situate in the Place de Walborgo, a kind of square fronting the quay, and known as the commercial neighbourhood of Antwerp. The buildings were chiefly lofty warehouses filled with mer chandise of every description, while in the basement stretched extensive vaults filled with some thousand bar rels of petroleum, and to the latter may be attributed the dreadful consequences that have befallen the city. The first range of warehouses attacked were the three belong ing to M. Dennis Haine, and by noon the whole of them were in a blaze from end to end. It there reached a maga zine or depot where there was stored some 10,000 barrels of petroleum. The local firemen, police, and military strove every exertion to stay its progress, and succeeded in rolling a great many barrels out of the building on to the quay, but the explosions and fury of the flames compelled them to retreat. During the whole day and night and fol lowing day the conflagration swept on with terrific force. The flaming petroleum from the stores in question poured out in a stream, and flowed down into the range of vaults above alluded to, where the larger quantity of petroleum was deposited, and which was all along so much dreaded. The fire then increased in magnitude tenfold, and explo sions that followed shook the whole city, and brought down many houses, while many persons are reported to have been killed. The force of the explosion blew in the brickwork of the sewers, into which the burning petroleum flowed, and by that means found its way into a great many houses in Rue de Saa's, and in many other streets in the locality. The military drove the people out to a place of safety. Among the buildings that were subsequently consumed were the Hotel de Coborg, the bonded stores known as the Great Swan and Little Swan, and a series of others of a com mercial character. The engines that were brought into play were perfectly inadequate to contend against so awful a fire. There was only one steam fire engine there, and that belonged to a private firm at Antwerp. THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE.—The iron trade at present is, to say the least of it, in a very unsatis factory condition—not in one department only, but in all its branches, from the most elementary to the most ad vanced. No difference has taken place in the produce of our pig iron since the beginning of the lock out, and the works appear to be going on as they have been doing for some time past. Changes have taken place, but the seduction in the manufacture remains about the same, the average being about 10,000 tons a week. This has now continued for eight weeks, and we regret to say there is •no indication of an increase in any of the works, or any additional number of furnaces being put in blast. The employers appear to have as little confidence in tho present state of the iron market as in the production of the coal required. On the other hand, the colliers and miners at work are dissatisfied, and express themselves strongly on the subject of the late reduction of wages, while they are keeping, as a general rule, at the restricted hours of labour. This reduction of wages has enabled the coal masters to reduce the price of coal. The fact of three of the leading works in England having withdrawn the no tice of reduction has caused those masters who were wavering to reconsider the matter. Hitherto the meetings of the employers have nut, we believe, been of a Very satisfactory character. What they may do in the course of the week is a subject for future consideration, and will very likely depend in a great measure on the money mar ket, or, what is of as much importance, the prospects for orders.—Glasgow Herald. DUNDEE TRADE REPORT, Tuesday.—The market has been again quiet to-day. The long-continued high state of the money market is undoubtedly having a very adverse influence. Flax—The arrivals of flax and tow from abroad since Friday consist of three vessels from St Petersburg, two from Archangel, two from Pernan, and two from Riga. Privately on the spot a moderate business continues to be done in flax, but a little or no alteration in prices. Good parcels of flax are inquired for, but being scarce are held very firmly, and high prices are demanded. In the Baltic exhange has gone back, but prices are on the whole firmer ; and at Riga the stock is in a few hands, and extreme rates are asked. Two public sales of flax and tow took place to-day. At the first, consisting of the larger quantity, there was very little life. All the parcels offered at the second were sold. Yarns—This has been a quiet day in y arns, and a small amount of business is reported; prices are steady with little change. Of late the inquiry for linens has rather improved, and this still continues, with no accumulation in the ordinary descriptions. Whilst not so much business is doing in jute fabrics, in consequence of heavy purchases made lately, a fair demand continues, and rates are firm. Intelligence has been received that the United States. Government has placed a duty on the freight, packing charges, and commis sion on goods imported, which will in all amount to an extra duty of about 2i per cent. on Dundee fabrics.— Dundee Advertiser. THE SHIPPING TRADE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. —From a Parliamentary return issued yesterday morning we learn that the number of vessels and the tonnage en tered inwards and cleared outwards at the 12 principal ports of the United Kingdom during the year 1865 was as follows :—Vessels entered inwards, 30,444; tonnage, 9,756,502 ; vessels cleared outwards, 26,648 ; tonnage, 8,998,152. Tho comparative position of London and Liver pool is as follows : —London vessels entered inwards, 11,610; tonnage, 3,646,142; vessels cleared outwards, 8,093; ton nage, 2,627,809. Liverpool vessels entered inwards, 4,827 ; tonnage, 2,644,821 ; vessels cleared outwards, 4,425 ; ton nage, 2,631,827. The aggregate declared value of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported from the 12 ports in 1865 was £144,363,160. In the case of London the amount was £37,009,718 ; in that of Liverpool, £73,066,773. COST OF PAUPERISM.—The Poor Law Board have issued their return of the cost of relief to the poor in Eng land alad Wales in the half-year ending at Lady-day, 1866. The return, incomplete only to the extent of about 1 per cent. of the population, shows that •the amount expended in the half-year was £632,233 for in - maintenance, and £1,586,806 for out-relief, together £2,219,039. The de crease in the expenditure on out-door relief, as compared with that of the corresponding half of the preceding year, was counterbalanced by the increased cost of in-mainte nance, probably owing to the advance in the price of pro visions. The expenditure on irremovable paupers is shown for about 17-20ths of the population of England; it was 36.5 per cent. of the total relief—a slightly increased pro portion as compared with the half-year ending at Lady day, 180. ffl" - A \? 4kr 7-.. e ciNg% q>:l I,WISI Inntt co ciE R tutmbr .(..- HER MAJESTY. ..._____ OSBORNE, Aug• 16.

THE DUKE OF RUTLAND.—The Duke of Rutland, upon whom the vacant Garter is to be conferred, is the sixth duke, and was born in Arlington-street, 16th gaY' 1815. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated M.A., 1835, and represented Stamfo rd in Parliament from 1837 to 1852, and North Leicestershire from 1852 to 1857. His grace wasa Lord of the BedchaT; ber to the Prince Consort f rom 1843 t o 1846, a nd L°' Lieutenant of Lincolnshire from 1852 to 1857, when he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire. He su f . seeded to the dukedom in 1857. The heir-presumptive to his grdce (who is unmarried) is his brother, Lord P hi/ Manners, M.P., the present Chief Commissioner of wor e SIR GILBERT EAST. —The friends of this gentle man will be glad to hear that there is good reason for he' lieving that the paragraph which we copied from the Tis a day or two ago, describing with some circumstantiality 13' sudden disappearance from Ryde, and probable death by drowning, is untrue, and that he may yet be seen in the flesh. We hear upon authority, on which we put WW I that the hon. baronet is at this mo m e n t t o b e f o und in th e neighbourhood of the very place from which our content: porary announced his departure under such sensations' and tragic circumstances.
