Of course it can surprise no one that Mr. BRIGHT has taken every opportunity to come forward this autumn, and to express himself vehemently about things in general. The fact of the DERBY Govern ment being in power is quite enough to excite and enrage him beyond all bounds ; and it may be ob served that in this last speech of his, at the Reform Demonstration at Manchester yesterday, he devoted all his energies to the task of abusing and reviling the Conservative party, and more especially their leaders. After an address, - which was couched in such extravagant terms that it was a dis grace to those who presented it, M r. B RIGHT addressed his audience. Surely it is enough for the chief actor in such a scene to outrage common sense and exaggerate everything without others following in his wake. When we find such language as this employed, we recognise the excitement of partisan ship, and not the avowal of deep conviction and the exposition of public sentiment. The Chairman said they presented an address to Mr. BRIGHT, " whose Inane in the house of Commons was a terror to evil-doers, and who, with the late RICHARD COB DEN, had earned a name which would be for all time endeared to the people of England." We think that it was never more plainly shown than it was this last session that Mr. BRIGHT'S reign even in the House of Commons has greatly decreased since the famous days of old, when the Anti-Corn- Law League was in the zenith of its reputation, and he was its redoubted champion. Many then who did not agree h it his politics or coincide with his way of advocating his views admired his talents and respected his e arnestness; but since then he has retrograded, and sunk from the advocate of a popular cause to the political agitator, wh o loses the representative in the demagogue. As for the notion of Mr. BRIGHT'S returning to Parlia ment not as simply the representative of a single borough, but as the elected trib une of a mighty people, it is q uite p re p osterou s. We b eg t o recall which to the recollectio n of these devotees the manneri eh h in e which Mr. BR IGHT left the Parliament to h is to return in such an enviable position. It was properly denounced at the time as quite un worthy. He could not, or would not, appear in Parliament to state his opinions, where they could be called in question, but he could spare time to indite letters from his retirement, which stirred up the people against the law, and drove the ignorant and infatuated to acts of violence. Mr. BRIGHT never did himself more discredit during his whole career than when hethuil xefiorted to expedieno to annoy his opponents and serve himself. If he con sidered the conduct of the Government to be so faulty, he ought to have said so in his place in Par liament. But this is always his way of proceeding ; he never speaks so well as when no one can reply to him, and he is addressing those whom it is his purpose to excite to the utmost against all who differ from him. This is conduct that is neither fair nor straightforward, and those who clamour about obtaining their rights should show a little more respect for the claims of others. There is one part of Mr. BRIGHT'S speech in which we cordially concur, and that is where he says that he has no ambition for leadership because he " has no fitness forsuch an office." He has not indeed, and never could succeed in getting a large following. A speech of Mr. BRIGHT, which contained no abuse of the House of Lords, would be, indeed, " Hamlet,' with the part of Hamlet omitted, and so we are not surprised to learn from this last declaration of the oracle at Manchester that that august as sembly abrogates its inheritance mad forfeits its privileges. "It gives its votes, its power, its proxies into the hands of one man, and he often, as at present, not by any means the wisest of men." After this it is not astonishing to find this doom predicted for it, " Decay and darkness will settle upon it." Is it not an insult to the understanding of those he declares are worthy of the suffrage denied to them that Mr. BRIGHT should talk in such a clap-trap style to them ? The working classes are not to rise to the level of those now in power, but they are to take their place, for which they have shown themselves to be so manifestly unfit. Perhaps nothing can better illustrate the one sidedness of Mr. BRIGHT'S argument than this sen tence : "I regard the county representation to a very large extent as a dead body tied to the living body of the borough representation." This is exactly the view which he and his friends take of the matter whenever the question of Reform comes forward, and, in fact, it forms one of the chief obstacles to its satisfactory settlement. We believe that a Reform Bill which did seriously affect the interests of the country party, and curtail their power and influence, would never meet with the approval of Mr. BRIGHT, however liberal might be its provisions, and however great the advantages it conferred upon the working classes. Mr. BRIGHT resorted to the worn-out dodge of quoting the particular pas sage of Mr. LowE's speech which referred to elec tions, in order to implicate Lord DERBY with the responsibility of it, because he had proposed to that gentleman to join his Government. Now, who would have been more ready than Mr. BRIGHT to characterise the new Administration as a clique and a party monopoly had no proposal been made to those not in the ranks of the Conservative party? Of course we find America and her institutions extolled at the expense of ours, and the superior education of the people of New England vaunted. We think the events now taking place in America are a sufficient proof that knowledge is not power without discretion to guide it. Mr. BRIGHT himself is far more American than English in his intolerance of opponents and extreme self-sufficiency. Mr. BRIGHT is ready to stake everything he has in the world upon the notion that "if the platform of the National Reform League were embodied in an Act of Parliament, they would not pass over three sessions without making a full provision for the thorough instruction of every working man's child in the kingdom." If this is the case, how is it that Mr. BRIGHT is so opposed to the educational franchise, and to those propositions which he stigmatises as " fancy-franchises ; " and, again, why were he and his friends against those who laboured to shorten the hours of labour for children, and prevent those of tender years from being employed in factories ? " The man who is now Prime Minister of England" has, indeed, much to answer for, according to Mr. BRIGHT, but we hesitate not to affirm it, that if there had been one man present in that assembly who ranked truth above making a sensation, and considered fair play of more consequence than the furtherance of politi cal prejudice, he would have risen and tqld Mr. BRIGHT that his charges against Lord DERBY could not be tolerated in a city where he had shared so much zeal and assiduity in the cause of the suffer ing poor. We do not believe that the men of Lan cashire really forget this, but they are confused and bewildered by the statement of their leaders, and thus injustice is done, and facts mixed with fiction. " Lord DERBY'S failures are in the annals of Eng- land for thirty years past." Lord DERBY was con cerned in passing the Reform Bill of 1832 ; and we mention a fact, which history will confirm when this generation has passed away, when we say that Mr. BRIGHT never aided in the passing of so important an act. We really do not think that we can exhibit the bon. member for Birmingham's intolerance and unfair ness better than when we quote his own words and replications of most notable passages from the melee of extravagances and vituperation with which his speeches abound. " The same Lord STANLEY came forward in 1852 to stem the tide of democracy, in 1859 he was at the head of a Government which introduced a Reform Bill of a most fraudulent cha racter, and in 1866 he is at the head of a party which has destroyed an honest Franchise Bill, and over thrown an honest and patriotic Government." The reason for all this comes out pre sently, Mr. BRiGIIT has read in the news- papers that Lord DERBY is not in the least degree disabled from dealing with reform. Of course this is dreadful news, and hence he gives utterance to language which is, if possible, more vehement than any he has ever yet made use of. If Lord DER" does introduce a Reform Bill, it will be a " juggl e or dishonest trick," something base, like means by Which th ey overt h rew the bill of Lord RUSSELL. We believe Mr. BRIGHT prides him self good memory, b u t what, we ask him, is his upon recollectionworth if he i gnores the affair at se 1 Willis's Rooms, and the means he and his friends resorted to to overturn the DERBY Government in 1859. We are willing to borrow Mr. BRIGHT"; own words in reference to the last measure before Parliament, and apply them to the Conservative Reform Bill. "If that bill had passed, moderate as it was, I undertake to say it would have been received in every part of the United Kingdom with the liveliest satisfaction." Who prevented it passing, we may well ask ? There is no man in England more responsible for the country being still without a second measure of Reform than he who so glibly denounced his op- ponents last night at Manchester. how dare be get up in the presence of his countrymen and charge Lord DERBY and his friends with practising a uggle when he was foremost in the greatest juggle in the memory of politicians, —namely, getting Lord RUSSELL into power on false motives ? How dare he also charge them with setting class against class, when he knows that it is the object of all his public speeches to do so himself? "The men now in office cannot govern Britain," says he. We may retort upon him, neither can they who follow his leader ship. We would say to those who cheer to the echo all the assertions of this violent agitator Eat before they clamour for Reform they had better begin at home; for, if they suffer them- DRIGUT would 501ye6 to copfuhe things as Mr. says - have them do, they are not worthy to send representatives to Parliament, and they are injuring the very cause they profess, to advo cate. Mr. BRIGHT declares that it is "on broad, and just, and liberal principles alone that England can maintain her place among the nations of the world," and in so doing utters his own condemnation, for we can recognise no indication of these in his intolerant discourse, which exhibits a bitterness of spirit and a prejudiced feeling that are quite out of character in one who addresses a public meeting. The programme, however, was carried out, and the following is the result of the races : Prix de Glatigny, 4.oool.—Willis, 1; Auguste, 2 300 f. to the second horse.

Letters from Constantinople state that the new Turkish Ambassador to the French Court, Mehemet Djenil-Pacha,has postponed his departure to assume his functions at Paris until the mouth of November. The Prase, of Vienna, says that as soon as the Venetian question shall he settled, Trieste will be come the seat of a military government, at the head of which will be placed Field Marshal Lieutenant Baron Alleman, now Governor of Venice. By the abandonment of Venice and the loss of a war port, which is the consequence, Trieste will assume im portance as a maritime station. A new war port is also spoken of. There are symptoms of improvement in the weather. The sun has been scarcely visible to-day, but there has been very little rain, and the tem perature was agreeable. The arrival of the Belgian brings us news from New York to the 14th. The old story is repeated in the details of the PRESIDENT'S progress. He is in turn welcomed and denounced, feted and abused, cheered and petted. At Pittsburg ho met with strong opposition from the crowd ; at Louisville and Cincinnati, it is stated, he was received with enthusiasm. The struggle between the conflict ing parties is strong and as fierce as ever, and before long it will reach its crisis. The elections are going on, but as yet afford no indication of the probable issue. Vermont and Maine were certain to return Radicals, while Massachusetts was scarcely less so. The latter State has, however, distinguished itself by its selection, having nominated General BUTLER! The tug of war is yet to come in those States in which the issue is uncertain. Should the Radicals Picard, of whose trial for murder I gave a report at the time, was executed on Saturday at Rouen. He exhibited great patience and resignation. His age was only 25. It is ten years since there has been an execution at Rouen. win the day, which is happily more than doubtful, we may easily guess what sort of a programme we shall have for the next session. Mr. STEVENS, their recognised spokesman, in a recent speech in Penn sylvania, thought it necessary to apologise for the shortcomings of Congress during its last session. The rebels were not punished, the freedmen were not enfranchised, but Mr. STEVENS is resolved to make amends for the omissions of the past. He proposes to present sweeping Confiscation Acts, and The latest invention in Paris for robbery is clever but calculated to excite melancholy for the depravity of its origin. A little girl of twelve has been trained by her parents to amass purses by what is styled in the slang of the day the " kiss robbery." Taking Judas for her model, she deceives by a kiss. This little girl, Marie Victorine Lachaux, watches in the street for a lady who seems likely to have money about her, and throws herself into the lady's arms, saying, " Oh, my dear aunt." The lady who is kissed tells the child she is mistaken, and gently re leases the child from the loving embrace, but finds that in the brief moment of the kiss she has lost her purse. The child then goes to a wine shop with the money, and her father and mother are ready to re ceive her. The father, mother, and child have just appeared at the Tribunal Correctional Police. In the case which led to the charge it could not be proved that the parents sent the child to rob in this way, but th ere was no doubt that she had stolen a purse from a young woman whom she accosted in the Place Dauphine, and the Court has sent her to the House of Correction until she shall attain the age of 21. Reluctantly the court set the father and mother at liberty, for complicity could not be proved, but several similar robberies were proved against the child. to divide the property of the rebels among the loyal, by which he probably means to take the lands from the white men and give them to the black. As no one is now attempting to resist the central autho rity, but all agree to recognise the Washington Government, it is not easy to see upon what priu ciple of selection Mr. STEVENS intends to act, unless he accepts the broad distinction of colour. In Mr. STEVENS'S opinion the Conservative Con vention at Philadelphia was a " convention of traitors," " rebels," and " sympathisers from the North who ought to have been South." We can hardly believe that such men as this can be the deliberately chosen exponents of the American people. If so, it augurs ill for the future of the great free people of the West—not for the Union alone, though its days would be numbered were the Radical programme carried out—but for the Americans themselves, who would thus be proved incapable of rational and constitutional self-government. It is said that the PRESIDENT'S somewhat rash and intemperate language on one or two occasions has damaged the Democratic cause ; but this would be not a little singular in a country like America, where vehemence and political license are the order of the day. In the excitement of such an open contest as the present, irritated by unmeasured abuse and most vindictive opposition, it is not likely that Mr. JOHNSON, in haranguing mobs, would always remember the dignity of his position, but the Americans ought to be the last people to be influenced by extravagance of language. If words are to weigh, the speeches of the Radicals in Congress, in Convention, and on the platform, are surely intemperate enough to damage their cause more than anything which the PRESIDENT has said or done could injure the Democrats. It is said that the PRESIDENT has determined that if JEFFERSON DAVIS is not tried in October he will release him on bail. The fact is that the Radicals are averse to have Mr. DAVIS tried, fearing that when the case is decided President JOHNSON will exercise his undoubted prerogative of mercy, and put an end to the pro tracted confinement of the illustrious and unfortu nate Confederate ruler. The aspect of American affairs may well make well-wishers watch with some anxiety for the result of the elections, and we can only hope that a greater degree of moderation and enlightened patriotism may prevail than are at present perceptible. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FRO3I OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The followir.g is all that the AToniteur contains respecting the affairs of the continent of Europe. It " That the Gazette Officielle, of Florence, an nounces that the Royal troops have entered Palermo without encountering much resistance, and that they suffered very trifling loss. The Government has rapidly concentrated in Sicily considerable forces, and there was no doubt that the movement would be speedily suppressed." The Journal des Debats says : " We receive from Florence some further parti culars respecting the events in Candia, but it should be noticed that the despatch which brings them, via Messina, was sent from Corfu. Without entirely suspecting its truth and exactness, because of its Greek origin, we think it right to mention the fact. It is, however, a private, and not an official, tele gram which announces the defeat of the Egyptian troops. After having suffered a loss of 5,000 men, the Pasha, who commanded, was compelled to capitulate with the whole of his army. If this be so, it is a grave event, which will render very un certain the success of the mission tardily confided to Mustapha Pasha. " With respect to this private telegram from Corfu, which is dated the 18th—let the date be par ticularly remarked--we cannot help remarking that in our publication of the 22d of September we printed an official telegram from Corfu, dated September 19, and consequently of a later date than that which we receive to-day, announcing that the insurgents of Candia, led by Candist officers, had attacked the Turco-Egyptian army on four sides at the same time, and that the Turco-Egyptians were completely beaten with a loss of 3,000 men.' The official telegram arriving one day after the private telegram is quite silent in regard to the alleged capitulation of the whole Turco-Egyptian army. In these days of hasty news and sudden events, it is sometimes useful at least to take the time to read and compare." The following is an extract of a letter from Vienna, dated Sept. 20 The organisation of the army is the order of the day. The regiments and companies are reduced, a selection is made of officers to be retained on service ' and efforts are made to have a gun supe r i or both to that of Dreyse and Chessepot. Such a gun, it is thought, has been found, and also a fulminating composition of the effects of which most marvellous accounts are given. Public attention is also much occupied with the subject of telegraphic aerostation. Experiments are being made with the principle adopted four years ago at the Camp at Chalons, but with various, im provements. The Government particularly directs attention to the navy. Half a dozen frigates, and and as many corvettes and gunboats, have been placed upon the stocks at Trieste and Pola. Where the money is to come from to pay for these naval demonstrations nobody knows. As to Hungary, it seems impossible to agree with her relative to the nomination of a responsible Ministry, and Count Belcredi has decided that this Ministry shall be elected by the Landtag of Hungary. This point seems likely to excite turbulent proceedings in Bohemia." l'hero being a minor deluge yesterday, the autumn races at Longehamp were but thinly attended. THE Su N, LONIJUN, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1866. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) INUNDATION IN FRANCE. PARIS, Sept. 24. AUSTRALIA. (By Overland Telegraph from Galle.) MELBOURNE, Aug. 24. Mr. Manners Sutton, the new Governor o: Victoria, has arrived, and been well received. Parliament has been prorogued till the 2d of October. A new Queensland Ministry has been formed. A petition is being signed in the colony for the recall of the Governor. Advices from New Zealand state that disconten prevails among the natives in Taranaki. ITALY. FLORENCE, Sept. 24 (Evening.) Garibaldi has arrived in this city. The volunteers are concentrated at Lecco, appa rently for the purpose of being disbanded. Inundations have taken place in the departments of Allier Haute-Soire, CLite d'Or, and Lozere. The railway communication between Moulins and Nevers is interrupted. " Swishing" at Eton in the Olden Time. Yonder is the block —not the headsman's—quite the re verse. If it were not so old and shabby, and if it had a bit of carpet, it would look like a pair of bed-steps. In front of it stand two collegers, to ' hold down'—not always a sinecure. If the doctor, as he is rather apt to do, gets at all over-excited, and delivers cuts analogous to wide-balls at cricket, their fingers sometimes suffer, and then ho grins at them as if it wero a good joke. Another colleger un locks a press, and takes out a few rods. Each consists of three long birchen twigs (no branches), bound with string for about a quarter of their length. You would never guess, from the look of a wolf, how he can bite ; neither would you from the look of an Eton rod. They ought to be good for something. A charge of half-a-guinea for birch was made in every boy's bill, flogged or not. Say six hundred boys at ten shillings and sixpence—a pleasant little sum in Practice' for the doctor. But nothing, after all, in comparison of what John Bull pays in his year's bill for the punishment of his naughty boys. Stop ! Kate gives a vigorous horn ! and proceeds to business. Holding up the bill, ho calls out a name. A meek and frightened little individual answers to it. Compl:tinecl of by your dame! Now, sir !" please, sir, my first fault!' (This was a privilege of impunity for the first slight— not great—offence.) 'Aro you sure you haven't had your first fault ?' 0 Yes. Quite, sir !' Well, remember I keep a strict account. I shall know you again. You'd better not attempt; any tricks with me ; sure to suffer for it !' (Here a very fierce and omniscient look.) ' 0 no, sir !' and away ho slinks. When he's safe and well out of the doctor's hearing, you and I may hear a chuckling whisper : ' Third time of asking, by Jove !' Another name, and another apparition. " Not saying ?' " Yes, sir l' ' Kneel down !' He kneels on the block. How may I, in sufficiently dainty terms, express what follows ? He—he—lowers his sails. The two collegers shake hands with him. You hear four little swishes—just from the wrist only; just enough to raise a blush, and all is over. No one takes much interest in the matter; neither public nor performer, hardly even the patient, who gets under sail again, and moves off. But see ; Keato is knitting his shaggy brows, and calls the next name in an angry voice. A wiry-looking, big follow appears, resolute, .. - Dade up for something serious. Out with a gun and dogs, sir ?' No answer. A vicious nod—understood and obeyed at once. The collegers take a wary hold. The doctor tucks up his gown, receives a rod, and lays on in real earnest. Five savage cuts—on a statue—and the executioner flings away the stump of a rod ; gives a grunt —in compliance with which a fresh weapon is handed to him. Four more cuts use it up, and he leaves off. There, sir! remember that!' The boy has stood it out gallantly (about as much as he could do, though), and gets away as quick as he can, probably to give vent to his feelings in private.—Cham bers's Journal.

THE CHOLERA IN DONCASTER.—There have been 20 cases of cholera. in this proverbially cleanly and well cared for town, the majority of these within the last three days. The disease has recently manifested itself in various localities of the town, but is at the present moment con fined to one particular spot, immediately adjacent to the outfall into the ricer of the main sewer of the town. Pitched fires are kept burning in the infected locality night and day, whilst disinfectants and stimulants are being supplied. On Friday, Mr. R. E. Clark, the mayor, had largo quanti ties of beef-tea made at the Mansion-house for distribution amongst the afflicted families. The Rev. Dr. Vaughan, the vice, has been most untiring in his efforts to alleviate the distressing misery already occasioned by this dire cala mity.

The reptile, which is nearly 10ft. long, was secured, after considerable difficulty, by first binding his jaws with cloths, and carrit,clinclily into the tank. FRANCE. BOURSE, Sept. 24.—Two o'clock.—The market is extremely dull, and in the almost total absence of business quotations are little more than nominal.

Died at Tunbridge Wells, in the 95th year of his age, Mr. John Ritso, formerly captain in her Ma jesty's 76th Regiment, and Aide-de-Camp to the late Marquis of Wellesley, Governor-General of India. He went out to India in the year 1790, and joined the armies employed in the war against Tippoo Sultaun as a volunteer upon the promise of a commission from the Governor-General, Lord Cornwallis, and was soon after appointed to an en signcy in the 76th Regiment, March 14, 1791. He served two campaigns during the Mysore war, which terminated with the siege of Seringapatam in 1792. He was made lieutenant 2d February, 1793. On Lord Wellesley's appointment to the Government of India his regiment was sent to the Upper Provinces of the Bengal Presidency, and stationed at Cawn pore, which became the head quarters of Lord Lake, the Commander-in-Chief. The regiment in 1802 was successfully employed in the reduction of three forts in the Doab country—viz., Sarsaney, Bidze ghur, and Catch° wra, which native forces previously employed had been unable to accomplish. He re ceived his commission as captain in the same corps on the 25th of June, 1803. The Mahratta war oc curred about the same period, and he was with the advance of the army under the Commander-in- Chief, Lord Lake, which dispersed Perron and the native troops assembled before Allyghur, August 29, 1803, and in the assault of that fortress 4th September fellowing—a capture considered by the Governor-General of the greatest importance, and decisive of the future fate of the war. Afterwards he was at the siege and surrender of the fort of Agra, and subsequently at the battle of Laswarre, the Ist of November, 1803, which gave a title to the Commander-in-Chief, and for which he received a medal with two bars. On the cessation of hosti- lities with the Mahrattas, under their chief, Scindia, 1804, the army broke up and returned to quarters at Cawnpore. Captain Ritso was then appointed by the late Marquis of Wellesley one of his aides de-camp, and was sent down in the Govern ment yacht to escort his brother the Duke of Wellington, then Colonel Wellesley, on his re turn to the Presidency from the command of the Madras forces in the field during the Mahratta war. He returned in the same fleet which conveyed the Duke to England, 1805-6, and on his arrrival was appointed Major of Brigade to his old commander, General Shawe, and stationed on the public service at Knightsbridge, Devon. On the reduction of that appointment he was employed on the Ordnance Survey, under the direction of Major-Gen. Madge, R.A., in which service he continued some years, when he was appointed one of the Professors of Fortification of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, where he remained until the year 1823, when he finally retired. Captain John Ritso was the son of George Frederick Ritso, a Captain in the Royal Engineers and Paymaster of the Exchever, who married a young lady of the Grimm family, in attendance on Queen Charlotte, and who was sister of Dr. J. F. C. Grimm, first physician to his Serene Highness Ernest Augustus Duke of Saxe Gotha, Saxony, the paternal grandfather of his late Royal Highness Prince Albert. He was the only son of Frederick and Sophia Ritzau, who were the private German secretaries to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, the parents of George 111. The Prince was very partial to him, and he was brought up in the royal family, experi encing many acts of kindness at their hands. THE PANAMA CANAL.—On the proposition of the President Mosquora to the Congress, we learn by the Star of Panama, a concession has been granted for establishing a maritime canal across the isthmus of Darien. The Con cessionaires are 'Messrs. Dewsbury, Thomas Page, E.C., and Vice - Admiral G. Elliott. A mong o th er s tip u l a ti ons the concessionaires are to solicit that the British Govern ment will guarantee the neutrality of the territory on which the canal will be established ; while the Government of the United States of Columbia will, on their side, obtain the same guarantees from the French, American, Prussian, Dutch, and other Governments. The application made by the concessionaires is stated to be based upon the most careful investigation of all the preliminary surreys and reports that from time to time have been directed to this important question. The works of Baron Humboldt, Colonel Parsons, Gisborne, Dr. Cullen, Dr. Mac Dermot, Captain Provost, and especially the latest surveys made at the expense of the French company, " La Societe Civile du Darien." By the step taken and accept ing the production of the scientific examination and survey of the different parties, wore with the view of reconciling the various interests than critically analysing any one scheme. Theso important documents, when taken toge ther, afford a favourable opportunity of deciding the direc tion to be taken by a properly organised surveying party, which step we understand is now being accomplished. There are also negotiations pending with the bondholders of the United States of Columbia, for certain purchase of of lands that the enterprise may extend itself into a me dium of colonisation. STAG HUNTING IN DEVON AND SOMERSET.—Some capital sport has been enjoyed during the present season in hunting the red der on Exmoor and its borders. The deer are plentiful, thanks to the strict preservation of Mr. Knight, M.P., who owns the moor, and to the means adopted to prevent poaching. It is said that most of the poachers have been induced to become gamekeepers, by which the deer have been much increased. A few days ago one of the most splendid runs for the season was en joyed by a field of between 300 and 400 horsemen and horsewomen —for many ladies were present. A fine six year-old stag was hunted for, several hours, Mrs. Browne, the wife of a cleryraan, and two other ladies being in at the death, Cardinal Cullen on Roman .Catholicism. Cardinal Cullen is on a visit to Maynooth. He was pre sented on Thursday with an address, to which he made the following reply :—I need scarcely say that I am sincerely grateful for your address, and for the kind sentiments re garding me which it contains. It always, indeed, but never more so than on this day, affords mespecial gratification to meet with those who devote their lives to study, and are zealously and successfully engaged in training by word and example the youthful Levite for the sanctuary, and to mingle with students now the hope, as they are destined to be hareafter the pride and consolation, of our ancient and venerable Church. Seldom have the eyes of the Catholic universe been neon) anxiously turned towards the Irish p2o ple and clergy than at the present day. The missionary spirit which pervades our island, the zeal of the clergy, the fervent piety of our faithful people, their patience in pro longed sufferings, the generous charity in the midst of pri vations and poverty, their characteristic devotedness to the Holy See, and their sacrifices for religion,are spoken of with merited eulogy throughout the world ; and the honours, though altogether unmerited by me, which it has pleased the Holy Father to confer upon me, were intended by him as a mark of his approbation, and as a pledge of his esteem and af fection for the Catholics of Ireland. Of our great apostle, St. Patrick, whose name you! college so appropriately bears, it is recorded that he saw in vision the future history of that holy faith of which he had brought the glad tidings to this country. At first that sacred light grew brighter and brighter, until it illumined our hills and valleys, and re flected afar off its heavenly rays. In the next period it gra dually became dim, until only a faint glimmering was to be seen. But in God's own time a happier era was to arrive.; the fading light gradually increased in splendour until it filled the whole island, and once more attained its original brightness. It would seem that this last era, so full of hope and consolation, is now beginning to dawn on our Church, and I trust that, with the blessing of our apostle, many of you will live to contemplate it in its meridian glories. At every stage of our chequered history the chid source of the blessings which enriched our Church was the unflinching spirit of fidelity and devotion with which our fathers clung to the chair of St. Peter. It was from that centre of Catholic unity that St. Patrick brought to us the rich treasure of faith. United with the successors of St. Celestine, and fos tered by their blessing, our Church for centuries grew daily in holiness and learning; and when the period of calamity and persecution arrived, it was from that same sacred source that our pastors and people received consolation in their trials, and strength to guard the interests of their holy reli gion. It is cheering to know that the same filial attachment to the successors of St. Peter is deeply rooted in their hearts, and I am confident that, so far from being checked by the trials to which the present great Pontiff is subjected, it will grow daily more and more, and that your affection will in crease in proportion to the violence of the assaults which are made on the Vicar of Christ by false friends, hypocritical protectors, and all the enemies of God. The proud position which in the way of Providence, notwithstanding all the sufferings and afflictions of our people, seems destined for our Chuich, imposes new duties upon those to whom one day its spiritual guardianship shall be entrusted. To the period of persecution the Irish ecclesiastical student must ever turn to learn lessons of sacrifice, and to inspire hi m with a desire to emulate the heroism of his father ; but in all that regards the decorum of religion, and the external relations of our holy Church, his lesson must be taken from the brighter era of peace. While the sword was glitter ing over the dev.oted heads of the ministers of religion, our only schools at home were in the marshes or in the fastnesses of the mountains ; but now, within these tranquil walls, it is in your power to emulate the glories of Lismore, Glendalough, Clonmacnoise, Bangor, and Glannevin. Like the great saints of those hallowed retreats, it will be your duty to labour incessantly t 3 combine sanctity and learning. Without sanctity your mission will be fruitless, and your learning a sterile plant. Without learning you cannot be the salt of the earth and the light of the world —you can not apply proper remedies to the corruption of the human heart —you cannot uphold the torch of true knowledge, nor refute the many errors with which the spirit of evil ever seeks to lead away captive those souls which were redeemed by the precious blood of the Lamb of God. Among the many great events which mark the Pontificate of the pre sent venerable successor of St.' Peter, the publication of the Encyclical and Syllabus of the Bth December, 1864, will ever hold a prominent place. In those documents the Vicar of Christ proscribes the errors of the present day, and points out to us thecourse we should pursue. From his words we learn the necessity of combating socialism, re volution, indifferentism, insubordination, and contempt for authority—the cankers of society in our times —we learn to denounce that infidelity and Erastianism into which secta rianism has degenerated in those countries—we learn also to repudiate the false and visionary theories of church union with which some unsettled minds woulddelude their votaries, as if light could bo combined with darkness, and au alliance formed between Christ and Belial. In fi ne, we learn from the Pontiff's words that human science is the handmaid of religion, and so far from, true scientific inquiry being in opposition to, or checked by, the in fallible teaching of faith, that cur Holy Church has ever been a natural guardian and fostering pa rent of knowledge. Peculiar to our own country are some other errors which you will have to combat. For the enemies of our holy faith, not content with having de spoiled the Catholic Church of the endowments conferred ou her by the piety of our people in former ages, now seek to deprive us of our brightest glory by pretending that our faith is of recent introduction into Ireland, and seekin&to identify the creed of St. Patrick with the ever-varying tenets of that Church Which owes its origin to a Henry and an Elizabeth. Such theories are wholly in opposi tion to our ancient records and with all the acts of the early Irish Church ; they must sooner or later redound to the confusion of those who, despite the evidence of his tory, venture to adopt and defend them. Prepared betimes by sanctity and learning, and emulating the virtues of your predecessors, you will be able to combat all those errors and to defend the truth. Your future labours will be fel.: Wised by the dews of Heaven ; and the Church of Ireland will have just reason to rejoice one day in finding you numbered among her pastors, and seeing her destinies, under Providence, placed in your hands. In conclusion, I thank you all for your kind address, and I assure you that the interests and welfare of St. Patrick's College and its in mates will ever be most dear to me, and 1 will be happy to find myself in the midst of you. (Loud applause.) His eminence and the other prelates adjourned to the re ception-room, where a large number of persons were pre sented to the Cardinal Archbishop. In the evening a grand banquet was given in the professors' dining-hall, at which over 100 guests were present. COAL SMOKE AND CITY TREES.—It is the custom to lament that the inhabitants of great towns and cities in this country are too careless about the embellishing of public places with trees and flowers, and about the fate of those plots of ground which are sometimes attached to their residences, and which beitr the name of gardens. We are rather disposed to believe that the inhabitants of towns would gladly encourage any and every kind of horticulture which might be adopted toreador beautiful and interesting the circumscribed plots of ground available for such pur poses in cities, could they but be sure that success would crown the endeavour. But there is too much reason for them to be sure of failure in what they attempt, and it is rather the result of bought experience than of imagined prejudice that townsmen generally are careless about the growth of trees and flowers. The simple truth appears to be that in exact proportion to the prevalence of coal smoke in a locality, so without respect to peculiarities of soil and cli mate horticulture must decline there. Now this is not to be regarded as an accident, but as a calamity. Whatever may be said for or against a display of flowers, and the smaller forms of miscellaneous vegetation that ordinarily contribute to the decoration of gardens, there can be no doubt at all that large trees are essential in cities, essential for artistic as well as for sanitary reasons; and, perhaps, wo may add, without impropriety, essential for purposes of sentiment. There can be no doubt that trees contribute in a most important manner to the improvement of the atmos phere for purposes of respiration. Every kind of vegeta- tion contributeelmore or less to the elimination from atmos pheric air of the carbonic acid with which it becomes charged after hdving been inhaled into the lungs of ani mals, and as tending to preserve the atmosphere in a nor mal state. Plants aro essential to the continuance of ani mal life on the globe. But trees are useful beyond the effect of their power to decompose the atmosphere, and take from it to fix as carbon in vegetable tissue the car bonic acid, which is poison to animals. They aro useful also mechanically, for wherever largo trees are to be found there smoke and dust are less hurtful to animal life.— City Press. THE LATE FATHER PROUT. —lt is said of this distinguished scholar and man of genius, that during the cholera season of 1841, he was in London. He was at that time engaged wholly in literary pursuits, and had laid aside the active duties of the priesthood; but no sooner did the plague come, than ho besought the bishop of the diocese to grant him faculties, and the lowest slums of that sink of the universe were, for the whole pericd of those dreadful months, his haunts. There, by the bedside of poor outcasts of the metropolis, kneeling in the filth and slop of the lowest hovels, bending over the filthy couch of squalid want, whispering words of faith, and hope, and comfort in the dull ear of dying age ; battling with the despair of the agonising felon struck down in his strength ; fighting, through all, the fight of Faith, was the brilliant wit who had delighted Europe with his contributions to Fraser's Magazine; and there he staid until God bade His angel sheathe the sword. To Mahoney his religion was a reality. He knew in whom he believed, and he desired no better end than to die at his work.—American Paper. ACCIDENT ON THE GREENWICH RAILWAY.—On Saturday night.last, about ten o'clock, the last two carriages of one of the ordinary passenger trains, through some de fect in the way, the carriages, or the working, got off the rails. The train was brought up quickly, without any per sonal injury having been sustained by any of the passen gers. The carriages were also uninjured. The down line was blocked for about two hours, but after the expiry of that time the lino wag open for the usual traffic. i•-• hurt The Royal Visit to Dunrobin. The preparations of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland for the expected arrival of the Prince and Princess of Wales at Dunrobin on Monday are being actively prosecuted at Golspie. The visit being of a semi-private nature it is not proposed that any very public demonstration should take place on the arrival ; and at the Castle no signs are visible as yet of. any special decorations being in prepara tion, and none, we believe, are contemplated. Dun robin unadorned is adorned the most, and any attempt to adi to the charms of the magnificent grounds, or set off the beauty of the most imposing castle in the north of Scotland, would be as Quixotic as to paint the lily. The Castle, indeed, is itself a preparation for a royal visit—a visit which has never been made—having been greatly added to and beautified in 1844-5, in anticipation of a short resi dence by Queen Victoria. In Golspie, however, which is not remarkable for the number or imposing character of its public build ings, it was felt that something might be done. Accordingly, in the centre of the village a stately triumphal arch—to which, if any objection at all may be offered, it is that it will throw the modest buildings surrounding it somewhat into the shade—is being erected, on which devices and an inscription welcoming the royal party to Dunrobin will be placed. It is expected that the arrival will take place shortly after half past seven, o'clock, and as, of course, daylight will have gone an hour earlier, the arch will be bril liantly illuminated by something like 150 lights. The arch is built of larches, and it will be dressed with heather. The leading shops and houses will, be illuminated ; and an immense bonfire is being built on Ben-a-bragbie, a high hill overlooking the village, on which a monument to the grandfather of the present duke, placed at a height of 1,282 feet above the level of the sea, and rising itself 100 feet more, forms a landmark distinguishable from any part of Sutherland, Ross, or Caithness within a circuit of 20 or 30 miles. As various points along the coach route from Bonarbridge to Golspie similar decorations and manifestations of loyal welcome are being got for ward. At the Ardgay Station of the Highland Rail way, which at present forms the terminus of the company's line, about half a mile on the south side of Bonar-bridge, a series of handsome arches, dressed with evergreens and heather, have been erected, spanning the road leading from the station. Over the central arch there is placed a motto, in bold letters formed of rowan berries, bidding the prince and princess appropriate " Welcome to the North," which is surmounted by the crown, the Prince of Wales's cross, and other decorations. On the oppo site side of the handsome bridge which here crosses the mouth of the Oykel, connects the two coun ties of Ross and Sutherland, and gives its name to the village of Bonar, a corresponding series of arches five in number are being erected, on which the motto, worked in roses, will be equally appropriate—" Wel come to Sutherland." These fine arches ar e being erected by Mr. Chirnside, of Skibo, on the march of whose lands they are placed. At the Cl as hmore Inn, about 11 miles down the no r th s id e o f the Dornoch Firth, on the march of the e s t a tes of Skibo and Sutherland, which it is expected will be reached about six o'clock, the royal journey will be broken for a few minutes, in order to permit a change of horses. The front of the inn is deco rated with festoons of heather in bloom, which, besides being a pretty substitute for evergreens, has the further meritorious quality of being a na tional emblem. Should darkness come on, as is most likely, before the cortege appears, arrangenients have been made to have the house, and the green in front of it, as well as both sides of the road for some distance illuminated with lamps. The entry of their royal highnesses on the Duke of Suther land's estates will be welcomed by the Dornoch Company of Volunteers, who are under orders to be on the ground shortly before six o'clock. From Clashmore to Dunrobin there will be no break in the royal journey. In many respects the royal visit, though sudden, is beautifully timed. The coming week will be quite a carnival in Golspie. Tuesday is the half yearly rent-day of the Sutherland tenantry ; and it had for some time been intended to inaugurate on that day the statue of the late duke, which the. tenantry propose to erect to his memory. On the supposed failure of the arrangement which was to bring the prince and princess to Dunrobin, the idea was for the time abandoned, and the sculptor, it is feared, had slackened his efforts to finish the work. A telegram was despatched on Tuesday to London, ordering the statue to be sent on at once with out fail, but up to Saturday morning it bad not arrived at Bonar-bridge. It is still expected in time to make the inauguration possible on Tuesday"; but it is almost beyond question that it will be in situ before the prince leaves Dunrobin. On Wed nesday and Thursday the rifle shooting, which has been advanced from Thursday and Friday, the dates oriainally fixed, in order to suit the convenience of their royal highnesses, takes place and on Friday there will be a grand review of the Sutherlandshire Volunteers. Balls will also take place on Thursday and Friday nights, one of which, it is hoped, the prince and princess will grace with their presence. Dinners also take place on two days of the week , and it is thought possible the Prince of Wales may accompany the Duke of Sutherland in his a nnual visit to the tenantry meeting on Tuesday. There is already a large company of ladies and gentlemen staying at the Castle. At present the most distinguished visitor is his Royal Highness th e Duke of Edinburgh, who arrived off Dunrobin be tween one and two o'clock on Friday morning, aft er a very pleasant voyage of about six hours froill Kessock-roads, where he was received on Thursday night on board the duke's yacht, the Undine, by his grace. Prince Alfred, like a good sailor as he is, enjoyed the voyage, and was able on the same day, to join a party of sportsmen in partridge shooting, and make a fair bag. On Saturday his royal big''' . ness was engaged in deer-stalking. In the evening he dined with the duke and duchesa.—Scotsman• THE GREAT EASTERN.—Yesterday, in responv to an invitation from,Capt. Anderson, the member s of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce and a number °I friends paid a visit to the Great Eastern, which still re: mains at anchor in the Mersey. Much interest was mani fested by the numerous party of gentlemen, who examin e the apparatus used irk paying out the cable of 1866, and Of appliances for grappling and hauling up the cable of 1 864. The ferry boats also convey large numbers of people for L' sail round "the big ship," LIVERPOOL WATER SUPPLY.—.The heavy ra' ° ' of the past fortnight have added very largely to the stock of water in the Rivington reservoirs. At the f °l4 ; nightly meeting of the water committee of the LiverP °c) Town Council yesterday it was stated that during the t" - weeks just ended the stock of water at Rivington had ill creased by 652,000,000 gallons, which is more than t hffi , whole of the stock in the reservoirs at the same perio d l a st year, when the total quantity was reported to be 503,000,00 gallons.
