We are not surprised that the disturbances on Monday evening should have formed the subject of discussion in both Houses of Parliament last even ing. It is some time since the metropolis has been disgraced by such proceedings. From whatever motive they originated, or with whatever object they were planned, the wanton destruction of pro perty and the renewal of the disturbances yesterday have unmistakably stamped the whole affair with the character of a reckless riot. Those gentlemen who last night chose to come forward as the champions and advocates of the rioters, did not take the trouble to inform us what the residents in Great Cumberland-street had to do with Reform excepting to wish most pro bably that its exponents would begin by reforming their own manners. Broken windows, trampled flower beds, midnight disturbances, and all the other paraphernalia of ordinary street riots, have no parti cular affinity that we are as are of to the extension of the franchise and the introduction of the ballot; and we can only regret that Mr. LAYARD, Mr. MILL, and some other gentlemen, should by their ill-advised language have encouraged the notion of their iden tity. Working men who are anxious for political privileges have every reason td complain of the as sumption that the riots and disturbances, which every respectable man must regret, are in any way associated with their efforts. They must be perfectly well aware, in spite of the high flown language of Mr. MILL, whom we are sorry to see forgetting his own doctrines about Liberty, that the sympathies of the friends of law and order will be strongly enlisted against such breaches of the peace. Mr. MILL, in his very able essay 04 Liberty, claims full license for every individual in words and acts, so long as he does not interfere with the rights of others. If Mr. MILL thinks that this premise was secured on Monday evening we can only fear that he has forgotten his logic. The language used by Mr. LAYARD may probably find favour in the eyes of the mob, but his explanation of the affair can hardly be accepted by the common sense of the public. He asks what more natural place than Hyde Park could be selected for a meeting of the kind? We should say any open space in the neighbourhood of London, such as one of the heaths or commons or Primrose-hill,not apark laid out with cost and taste in the midst of busy thorough- The working men, who, with their families, are in the habit of resorting to the park on summe r evenings will see for themselves next Sunday what these gentry have done, and will be able to judge how far they were actuated by a desire to extend the principles of their order, and how far by the pleasure of a riot. An open air meeting of such a size is at best but a farce; only those in the immediate vicinity can bear the speaUrs, and any thing like candid discussion is impossible. The fact is that it was intended as a demonstration of physical force to overawe the inhabitants of the west end by the numbers of the east, and those who attempted to get up such a de- fares. monstration in defiance of the prohibitions of thelaw are very much to blame. Mr. BRIGHT'S conduct in inciting the people to a proceeding which was almost certain to terminate in a breach of the peace was deservedly censured in the house last night, and we hope that the unpleasant experience of the last two days will teach those who set themselves up as leaders a little more sense and discretion another time. It is perfectly idle to pretend that anybody who likes may use a public park for any purpose which he pleases ; and this is the only point at issue, seeing that no one disputes the right of public meeting elsewhere. Mr. DISRAELI last evening declared that he looked upon such meetings held at the proper time and place " as one of the great political safety-valves to which we should trust ;" but he justly added that "if held at improper times and places, instead of being advantageous to society, they will assuredly lead to tumult and disturbance." This no one can dispute, and we have had ample evi dence since Monday evening of the class of per sons who persist in defiance of the law. Unfortu nately something worse has resulted from the affair than angry words or broken railings or smashed windows. One life at least has been lost, and many persons seriously injured, to say nothing of the num bers who have found their way to the police-courts in consequence of the outrages. It:is altogether a lamentable and disgraceful affair, and respectable men of all parties should unite in supporting the authorities in their efforts to restore public order, instead of endeavouring to give importance to a dis reputable riot by identifying it with the popular side of a great public question. The city of Frankfort seems destined to play a most important, and by no means a pleasant part in this war. The Prussians have been forced for appearances sake to maintain some kind of order during their recent rapid marches through Germany, but it seems that we are to have an end of the reticence which has been so loudly vaunted. The conduct of the Prussians respecting Frankfort is disgraceful, and it seems hardly to be credited that at the present day we should witness such a viola tion of national laws. There is no earthly reason why so heavy a contribution should be forced upon a city that has already contributed so largely to the support of the Prussian forces. It is said by the last accounts that the Chamber of Commerce has resolved not to pay the twenty-five million florins demanded by General MANTEUFFEL. The whole city have supported this determination, and declared that it would be preferable to submit to pillage. The city of Frankfort has asked for the interven tion of the Emperor NAPOLEON and the English Cabinet in its behalf. The EMPEROR has received the request cautiously, and we trust that he will exercise his influence with effect, as it cannot be said that this is a question which mate rially affects the policy of Prussia. Our own Cabinet may likewise remonstrate with the Berlin Government, and it will be rendering them a good service to prevent them committing themselves by so flagrant an act as the destruction of a city to suit their purposes of vengeance. Should the intimation referred to by the Prussian Government come to pass, it will be long, indeed, before the Berlin Government can persuade the States that its intentions are good and its purposes honest. We expect, on the contrary, that instead of being an exception to the rule, the course adopted at Frankfort may be regarded as the inauguration of the new system that will be in vogue at Prussian head ' quarters. In consequence of no notice having been taken of the demand, the Prussian Commandant has put an execution int 9 the town. A large num- ber of troops are billeted upon the Senators r.nd principal inhabitants. No doubt this latter ar rangement has been made on purpose to annoy those who have principally offended the authorities, as it is well known that Prussian officials can be most spiteful when they have the opportunity. It looks as if the ruthless conqueror had imposed this extravagant sum in order that it might afford them a pretext for destroying the place, and, at all events, of damaging it considerably. They doubtless knew that a refusal would be made to such extravagant claims as those set forth, and were glad to seize the pretext for a quarrel. The naval engagement which has recently taken place at Lisa has produced some good effects for the Austrians ; and, although these may be only of a secondary nature when compared with other events, still they are not without their significance. The municipal authorities of Yara have sent an ad dress to the EMPEROR, in which they declare that it is the wish of the Dalmatians that the late encounter may cement more firmly their connection with Austria. The Em PEROR replied to this communication that he never could permit so worthy a portion of his empire to be separated from the Austrian peoples. It is not likely that any division of pro vity.le would desire to be united to Prussia after the recent disposition they have evinced, but it is satis- factory that so steady an expression has been elicited. It is not yet decided when the Conference for the Treaty of Peace will take place. The Patire, in discussing the preliminary measures likely to be taken, states that a small neutral town in Germany will most probably be selected. Now that Italy has given her unwilling consent, we may fairly conclude that there will now be most certainly a cessation of hostilitiq. In any sense of the word it is to be regretted that the per sistence of Austria should have prevented the assem bling of the Conference in Paris a month or two ago. At that time Prussia could not possibly have claimed so much as she has now determined to do, and the balance of power in Europe might have been much more fairly adjusted. As it is, all we can hope is that the influence of France may prevail, so as to prevent the wishes of the Berlin Cabinet from being carried out to the extremity. It is evident that the Emperor NAPOLEON has been most instru mental in bringing about an armistice, and there fore we may well expect that he should do some thing effectual in the arrangements now ensuing. The French periodicals do not seem satisfied with the conduct of England, and La Presse contains an article which seems to intimate that the people of this country regard the recent triumphs of Prus sia with satisfaction. In this article there are, however, some forcible remarks as to the importance of the movements now in agita tion at Berlin, and adds that it may be a matter of indifference to a German whether his laws are made at Berlin, instead of at Vienna, Cassel, and Hanover, " but it is not indifferent to any Power that an order from Berlin can put in move ment:one million soldiers instead of five hundred thou sand ;" and states moreover that if the bond which attaches North Germany to Prussia be more or less firm it will have the same effect upon the neigh-. bours of Germany and complete absorption." It is the truth contained in these remarks that makes us doubtful as to the EMPEROR giving so easy an assent as some suppose to the proposals of Prussia.. He must be prescient enough to know the full im portance of the new position to which Prussia aspires, and to recognise more especially its signifi cance respecting himself. If he now agree to the terms we have heard of it will not b: so couleur de rose PM the Frueajang. guppoo after 41 in the long rhE SUN, LOISI)ON, WEDNESDAY EVEWNG, JULY 15, _1866, run, for France has greater sense of her own impor tance, and too lively an appreciation of injuries tamely to endure that a Power, with which she has so little in common as Prussia, should monopolise so muct to herself, and become so dangerous a neigh bour, whether as friend or foe. The arrival of the Damascus from New York on the 14th tells us of differences in the Cabinet which we hope may end in establishing a firm and united Government. The PRESIDENT, as is well known, has had serious difficulties to contend against among his own colleagues as well as in Congress, and there fore the changes will probably be advantageous to him. The Postmaster-General has resigned on ac count of political differences with the PRESIDENT, and there was a current report that Messrs. STAN TON, HARLAND, and SPEED would abandon their offices for that reason. Up to the departure of the Damascus, however, no fur ther resignations had been actually sent in. Mean while both parties seem to be gathering strength for a renewed struggle. The breach between the PRE SIDENT and the Congress is widening, and great excitement exists respecting the proposed Conven tions. Determined not to be outdone by their ad versaries, the prominent Radicals have called a Radical Convention, to be held in Philadelphia in September, in opposition to the Union Convention summoned by the Democrats. Secretary SEWARD, and the other Ministers who share the RESIDENT'S views, give their support to the latter ; while Mr. STANTON, and those who think like him, will, of course, uphold the Radical Convention. Possibly these assemblies may lead to some good end by calling out a definite expression of popular feeling in respect to the vexed-question of Southern representation. The Radicals are seriously losing ground, and are growing proportionately vindictive against the PRESIDENT.. At a caucus of the Re publican members of Congress, Mr. JOHNSON and the Philadelphia Convention were bitterly de nounced, and it was proposed that if the Lower House adjourned the Senate should continue in session to prevent the PRESIDENT from appointing or removing office-holders with out congressional consent. Fortunately, the days of Congress in its present form are num bered, and the public will before long have the opportunity of expressing their views through their Representatives. An Antwerp journal states that while a funeral procession was on its way to the cemetery of Kiel a noise was heard to proceed from the coffin. It was opened immediately, and the supposed dead man sat up in as perfect health as had ever been. The funeral habiliments were taken off, and he was covered over with the mourning cloth, and con veyed back to his family in the mourning coach, nothing loth there is no doubt. The Journal des Debats says that the conduct of the Prussians at Frankfort has produced the most painful and melancholy feeling in that city. The Emperor has left Paris for the Palace of St. Cloud, and will probably go to Vichy in the course of the week. IRELAND, DUBLIN, July 24. The Irish legal appointments have at length been all completed. Yesterday, at the residence of the ex-Chancellor, Mr. Blackburne, late Lord Justice of Appeal, was sworn in as Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the,oath being administered by Mr. R. S. Cusack, clerk of the Crown and Hamper. At the same time and place Mr. G. R. Digges La Touche was sworn in as secretary to the new Chancellor. Shortly after, at the residence of his lordship, Mr. Whiteside was sworn in as Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and this day he takes the place of the ex-chief on the Home Circuit. Mr. Walsh, the Attorney-General, will be elected for the Dublin University without opposition. Mr. Morris, Q.C., M.P. for Galway, has accepted the office of Solici tor-General, so long in suspense. Mr. Morris is the only Catholic or Liberal in the Administration. The appointment shows Lord Derby's desire to have a mixed system of Government, if possible. It does not appear whether the delay in filling the office was caused by Mr. Morris's reluctance to accept a place under a Conservative Cabinet, or by an opposition like that which triumphed in the case of Mr. Brewster. Mr. R. Longfield, late member for Mallow, is the new Law Adviser ; and the Irish legal staff is now complete. It is understood that Mr. George, M.P. for the county Wexford, will succeed Mr. Justice Hayes, about to resign on account of ill health. Mr. Stephen Ram, of Gorey, has announced his intention of standing for the vacant seat, and, if so, he will probably be returned. He is a very good landlord, and, being a convert, he will be strenuously supported by the priests. The Fenians are not yet silenced. STEPHENS has issued an address to the Fenians in Boston, declar ing that he would be fighting British troops in Ire land within the year. ROBERTS has been arrested, but released on bail, and no further disturbances are reported. Fenianism, in spite of its leaders, has received its death-blow, and we hope the mischievous and factious spirit now manifesting itself among the ultra-Radicals will before long be as effectually silenced, and all parties unite to rebuild the fallen fortunes of the Southern States, since it is only by such means that the integrity of the Union can be maintained, and peace and prosperity restored throughout all classes of the population. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening. Public opinion is a little more re-assured, it being officially stated that the preliminaries of peace are accepted by Prussia, and that Italy has declared that she accepts the proposal in " principle ;" but so many difficulties have suddenly arisen in respect to this war that capitalists speculate very little, and I think there will not be complete calm at the Bourse until the treaties shall be actually signed and sealed. The announcement in the Moniteur to-day that Italy has consPnted to a suspension of arms has had a good effect, but the fact hardly goes far enough. to dispel disquietude. There is a vast difference between a suspension of arms and an armistice, as all military men, if not the public, know full well. The conditions for an armistice are now under discussion at the Prusiian head-quarters, where the Austrian Commissioners have arrived. They are Count Karolyi and General Count Dagenfeld, formerly Minister of War. The representatives on the part of Prussia are Count de Bismarck and General Motte, Chief of the Staff. The representa tive of Italy is Count de Barra], Ambassador of King Victor Emmanuel at Berlin, who, it is said, is entrusted with unlimited power to agree either to a suspension of arms, or an armistice, or any other measure not likely to compromise the inde pendence of Italy. The special correspondent of the Siecle, in his letter dated Brunn, July 19, says :—" The Prus sians advancing form a large portion of the circle to the south of Brunn. All Bohemia and all Moravia is in their power, and they are masters of the railway between Brunn and Olmutz. As to the propositions for peace, which France has trans mitted to Vienna in her character as a mediator, they are kept secret, and all the pretended explanations about them are purely imaginative. The Prince Royal of Prussia said to me yesterday morning, I assure you that I know nothing about them.' At the village of Ransnitz yesterday, where we made a slight halt, the Prince said to me, We had to pass the night at Austerlitz. There is a place which re calls grand events." Austerlitz is to the left of the high road from Ransnitz to Brunn. Garibaldi, on marching to the attack at Storo, issued an address to his Volunteers, threatening severe punishment in case of any misconduct to the inhabitants, who were the victims of " Austrian tyranny." There is an affecting episode connected with the battle of Custozza. A surgeon of the Italian army discovered among the Bersagliers, in the midst of dead and wounded, a young corporal, who still breathed in spite of three wounds, one in the arm, one in the right leg, and one in the neck. While attending to the wounds the surgeon found that his patient was a woman. Her name was Herminia Manelli, a young girl of 20. A few days before the Garibaldian Volunteers commenced the campaign; Herminia's brother was taken ill, and she resolved to jcin the Volunteers in his stead. She had her hair cut, and put on her brother's uniform, and was taken for him by the regiment. Only four hours had elapsed after her installation in the regiment when it came into contact with the enemy at Cus tozza, and Herminia fell upon the field, severely wounded. When the surgeon made the discovery he ordered the warrior girl to be conveyed back to Florence, and in that city she died from her wounds. The locality of the Great Exhibition begins to present an animated and interesting aspect. A vast establishment is in course of construction by order of the Minister of Marine, where there will be light houses and telegraphs. A great deal of machinery is also in progress. As to the Palace itself, half of the outward building is finished. The spots devoted to various countries are denoted by their flags. The American stripes and stars figure by the side of the Turkish flag. The International Club will occupy the whole angle north-west of the Champ de Mars. The bed of the Seine is being excavated for the con struction of the port for landing above the Pont d'Jena. Mountains of earth are brought daily to fill up the excavations. In short, a good idea may now be formed as to what the building will be, and there is no doubt that it can be finished by the time proposed. Excavations and various works have been in progress at the Trocedero, nearly opposite the Champ de Mars, for several months. Among the demolitions was that of a building to which a curious history is attached. In the time of the first Napoleon the Government wished to purchase a house which was situated on the site where it was intended to build a palace for the King of Rome, the son of Napoleon the First. It was a small house, where a cooper carried on business, and was worth only about I,ooof. The proprietor, how ever, knowing the purpose for which it was wanted, modestly asked 10,000 f. for it. The Emperor, however, ordered the payment of 10,000 L ; but when M. Fontaine, the architect of the palace, LATEST INTELLIGENCE went to pay the money, the mar. said that upon consideration, he must hate 30,000 f. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) Napoleon said that the covetous cooper must have the money. He, however, again altered his mind, and said he must have 40,000 f. Napoleon, although now irritated, told his architect to finish the bar gain at that price. The appetite of the cooper for money increased again, for at the next visit of the architect he told him he must haTe 60,000 f. This was " too bad." Napoleon's patience was exhausted. The cooper's cupidity induced the architect to change his plans, and then the house was not wanted. This time, however, it has been demolished. THE ARMISTICE. FLORENCE, July 24. The Official Gazette of to-day says : " The proposals of the Emperor Napoleon to the Governments of Austria and Prussia have been accepted by the Courts of Berlin and Vienna as the basis of an armistice. Prussia communicated to the Italian Government her acceptance of the proposals; this acceptance having been given upon condition of their receiving Italy's assent, in accordance with the mutual engagements entered into by Prussia and Italy. "In consequence of this communication, Italy has declared her readiness to consent to a suspen sion of hostilities for eight days, on condition of reciprocal conduct on the part of Austria. During this period the negotiations will be continued, in order that an armistice may be concluded, of which the conditions may be accepted as the preliminaries of an honourable peace." FLORENCE, July 24, Evening. The Italian troops under General Medici had a fresh encounter yesterday with the enemy in the Valsugana, near the village of Borgo, where the latter were entrenched. General Medici took the village by assault, and pursued the Austrians as far as Levico,where, finding reinforcements, they again offered resistance to the Italian troops. General Medici finally took Levico by assault at 10 o'clock at night. He is now marching upon Trent, from which place Levico is only 18 kilo metres distant. The Austrians sustained heavy losses in killed, wounded, and prisoners. BERLIN, July 25. It is asserted that the Princes who have been dis possessed of their dominions by Prussia, purpose holding a common conference of delegates for the protection of their respective interests. BERLIN, July 25. According to authentic intelligence from Frank fort-on-the-Maine, the report that Gen. Manteuffel had threatened to bombard that city, and to giveit up to pillage if the contribution demanded by him were were not paid, is entirely without foundation. PRUSSIA. AND BAVARIA.

The appointment of Mr. Morris, Q.C., M.P.— who is a Roman Catholic—to the vacant Solicitor-Genoral ship of Ireland is announced. Archaeological Institute. The proceedings of the Congress of the Archaeo logical Institute are approaching a close. Yesterday there were two excursions, after the preliminary reading of two papers at the Geological Museum in Jermyn-street, in the section of primeval antiquities, one of which was on the flint flakes found in Devon and Cornwall by Mr. N. Whitley. 'The first excur sion was to Hampton Court, where the party arrived soon after 1 o'clock. Mr. Parker undertook to de scribe the architecture of the building, and Mr. Scharf the pictures, the interest and value of which seem to be not sufficiently appreciated by the gene ral public. In the first quadrangle Mr. Parker directed attention to the general character of the building, which remains for the most part in the same condition as at the time it was the palace of Wolsey, and he contrasted the style of domestic architecture at that period with modern buildings. In the former he said comfort and appropriate adap tation were the chief points attended to, and the re sult was the construction of a building well adapted to its purpose, and which looked well also; but in modern buildings appearance was principally consi dered, and the houses constructed on that principle were uncomfortable to live in, and they were the opposite of beautiful. He particularly recommended the decorated chimneys in the quadrangles as worthy of imitation by modern architects.e algnaitnheexmpaatginatified cent hall, which Mr. Parker described as a fine spe cimen of genuine English Gothic, he on the merits of the architecture of that period, and pointed out the general arrangements adopted in residences of that character, which has not been im proved on in modern times. The arrangements of the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge, he said, were all carried out on the same principle, and all attempts to deviate from it had proved failures. Mr. Scharf then gave an interesting description of the pictures generally in Hampton Court, and of the fine speci men of tapestry surrounding the great hall, repre senting the history of Tobit and of Abraham and Isaac. He alluded incidentally to the miserable parsimony which had prevented the securing of the tapestries made from the car toons of Raphael, which were exhibited in this country not many years since, and were offered to the Government for the sum of £3OO. They were afterwards purchased abroad, and are now to be seen at Dresden, where a gallery was erected on purpose for their exhibition. Mr. Scharf then con ducted the company through all the other rooms in the palace, stopping occasionally to point out the portraits and paintings of most interest. The pic tures of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and of Henry VIII. embarking from Dover, both by Hol bein, were particularly dwelt on, as being valuable representations of the character and actions of that period, and he particularly directed attention to the head of Henry VIII. in the former picture, which had been cut out by the Earl of Pembroke to pre vent it from being sold to the King of France, and had been afterwards inserted, as may be seen by looking sideways at the picture. After going in a hurried manner through the numerous galleries the party hastened to the railway station to catch the train specially appointed to convey them to Putney, from which they were to proceed to the Bishop of London's palace at Fulham. The bishop received them on the lawn of his beau tiful grounds, each gentleman being personally in troduced to him. He afterwards conducted the party through the house, which is only two storeys high, but occupies a large area. None of the rooms are very large ; they are, however, numerous, and in most of them there is the appearance of much comfort. The bishop first addressed the party from the centre of the quadrangle, which is surrounded by offices. He stated that the estate, which occu pies about 36 acres, was transferred from the manor of Fulham to the bishops of London in the seventh century. The building has undergone so many re pairs and alterations that scarcely any portion of the ancient part remains. lie, however, described the original arrangements and the alterations that had been effected. On entering the palace his lordship first conducted the party into the chapel, which was orginally the hall. It is a square apart ment of small size for such a purpose, with a flat ceiling, and it is profusely illustrated with texts from Scripture. His lordship stated that he has erected a new small chapel in his grounds close to the house, which will be soon completed, and then he shall restore the present chapel to its original use. The party followed the bishop through the drawing room, his study, library, and other apartments, in some of which he paused to describe the portraits suspended on the walls which pertain to the bishopric. These consist principally of portraits of bishops of London, the series being complete from the Refor mation to the present time. On the lawn tables were spread for refreshments, and the company enjoyed themselves afterwards in rambling about the grounds, the last train having been arranged to leave Putney at half-past 7. To-day the annual meeting for the choice of the town at which the next congress of the institute is to be held will take place in the council-chamber at Guildhall, when the proceedings will be brought to a close, THE RIOT ET HYDE-PARK. - - That the disgraceful scene in Hyde-park, recorded yesterday morning, continued throughout the day will not be matter of surprise, considering the ele ments of which the mob consisted. At a very early hour in the morning there was a considerable gathering chiefly of those who, by appearance, would not under present circumstances be qualified either for lodger or household suffrage ; but as the day wore on the crowd increased, numbers of women and children thronging to see the " fun." `With the exception that a few decently-clad per sons yiere " bonneted," and that some half dozen semi-fashionably dressed women had their long skirts first trodden on and then torn off—when they fled as best they might—there was not much sign of serious disturbance till about half-past two- o'clock. Only a few of the police had been visible during the morning, till about the time mentioned a car riage was driven rather rapidly through the park, which seemed to arouse the wrath of the mob, and a few stones were thrown, one of which hitting the coachman he lashed at the people, who then tho roughly pelted, and materially damaged, the car riage. As in duty bound the police sought to pro tect the vehicle and its occupants. Whereupon the usual vindictiveness of a mob against the police broke out with tremendous force, and the few officers present were obliged to beat a retreat, and leave the populace " masters of the situation." A few of the more violent amongst the mob had been captured, but released, when the arrival of a strong posse of constables evidenced that mischief was an ticipated, and that, if attempted, the authorities would enforce the law. Numerous skirmishings took piece, and a few ruffians were locked up, when the Life Guards took up position in the Bayswater road and on the new road in the park to prevent the mobocracy using brickbats as on the day before. Between 6 and 7 o'clock two members of the Re form League Council obtained permission from Sir Richard Mayne to address the assemblage in the open part of the park, and endeavoured to persuade the mob to disperse. In vain did Mr. Geo. Brooke and Mr. Cunnington use their strongest but not most grammatical language—"the people" would not assent to the urgent entreaties of their tribunes un less the police were withdrawn, and the park left to their tender mercies. It was in vain that Lieut.- Colonel Dickson urged this on the attention of Sir Richard Mayne, who, doubtless acting on instruc tions, remained firm. Colonel Dickson then threat ened the Chief Commissioner that, unless the police were withdrawn, he (Lieutenant -Colonel Dickson) would not be responsible for the consequences. This continued parley had occupied some time, and it became evident that the dense mass out on the open part of the park were being moved, and the helmets of the Life Guards over the hill showed those at the Marble-arch that the mili tary had been called out to assist the civil power ; and so gradually the mob were driven up to and out of the north side of the park. A detachment of the Grenadiers cleared the shrubberies from stragglers, and more than one " patriot" was captured with stone in pocket and bludgeon in hand, but gradually the whole expanse was tolerably clear. Scenes of a similar character had been enacted on the south side of the park, but the Marble-arch has evidently been made by the mob the key of the position. No one can pretend tb give a list of the casualties, but it is certain that one policeman had his face cut open with a sharp stone, and that several of the mob must have suffered when the volleys of stones necessitated a " charge" in self-defence, which scattered the mob like dust. None of the self-styled friends and. self ccnstituted spokesmen of the " working, classes" seemed to have interfered in any way to check these disgraceful scenes, nor, as far as could be under stood, has any attempt been made by the Reform League to assist in quelling a riot originated by their conduct and perverseness. It was left to Mr. Geo. Brooke and Mr. Cunnington to speak on their own behalf, and countenance the dispersion of the mob, for both those persons most emphatically stated they had not any authority from the League, but were only delivering individual opinions. It has been stated that Mr. Beales lost his watch, and to this we may add that the same " patriot," or some friend also " annexed " the illustrious gentleman's pocket-hvidkerchief and two pair of gloves. Rumour asserts that Ministers had a meeting last evening, and that probably special constables would be sworn in, and the Riot Act read if the ex isting lawlessness of affairs continues. MEETING OF THE WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION. A crowded meeting of the London Working Men's Association was held last evening, at the Brougham Dining-hall, Fleet-street—Mr. G. Potter in the chair —to consider the conduct of the Go vernment in reference to the Hyde-park meeting. The CHAIRMAN said the object of the present meeting was to express au opinion on the conduct of the Government in its attempt to suppress public opinion by the bludgeons of the police and military force. He detailed at some length the proceedings connected with the demonstration on Monday even ing, and thought the Tories could no longer say with truth that the working men of London were indifferent to reform. No one regretted more than himself the disorderly conduct which had taken place in the park, but the Government and the police were alone to blame. Had the Reform League been allowed to hold its meeting, everything would have passed off in the most orderly and peaceable manner. The Government, however, had thought proper to attempt the suppression of public opinion, and the responsibility for all the subsequent events rested upon them alone. (Cheers.) Mr; B. Lang ley, however, had held a meeting in the park on Monday evening, and he much regretted that the League had not done so likewise, having had the same opportunity. (Hear.) A long and animated discussion took place, during which several instances of violence on the part of the police were given, and a general opinion expressed that a continued agitation must be kept up to get rid of the present Ministry, who, it was averred, had shown by its conduct it possessed all the old spirit of Toryism, arid distrust of the people. Mr. BLIGLI moved the following resolutions : " That this association emphatically condemn the action of the Government in attempting the suppres sion .of the reform meeting in Hyde-park, called by the Reform Leaghe on Monday evening last, and consider the Government to be responsible for all damage or breaches of the peace committed in Hyde-park on the above evening." "That this association, while deeply regretting the disorders which occurred in Hyde-park on Mon day evening, is of opinion that such disorders were mainly, if not wholly, provoked by the brutal vio lence of a large portion of the police on duty in the park on that evening." " That the best thanks of this association are given to Mr. Baxter Langley for his taking the chair at a public meeting held in Hyde-park on Monday evening last, in defiance of the police authorities, and thus practically vindicating the right of the people to hold a meeting in the park." Mr. RANDALL seconded the resolutions, which were carried amidst loud cheers. Mr. STRONG then moved—" That the association call an open air meeting in Lincoln's-inn-fields on next Tuesday evening, to give the working m en o f London an opportunity of expressing their opinions on the conduct of the Tory Government on Monday last." The resolution was agreed to, and the executive committee were instructed to carry out the details. The meeting then adjourned. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BISHOP OF DURHAM. —Ecclesiastical proceedings are about being instituted against the Right Rev. Dr. Baring, Bishop of Durham, for an alleged violation of the law of tho Church. It appears that at a confirmation recently held in his diocese his lord ship openly rejected in church 30 candidates who had been prepared and presented by the Rev. William Darnell, M.A., rector of Bamburgh, and chaplain to the Duke of Buccleucb, on the ground that they were under 15 years of age, one of them being the rector's daughter. The opinion of Sir R. J. Phillimore, Q.C., the Queen's Advocate, has been taken upon the point, and he declares the conduct of the Bishop of Durham to be illegal. The Rev. Thomas Beard, 8.A., of Jesus College, Cambridge, has been instituted by the Bishop of Norwich to the rectory of Stokesby-with-Herringby, in the county of Norfolk, on the presentation of his uncle, Charles Beard, Esq., of Rottiugdeau, mar Driglatou, ev a mso o lori et Tar. HER MAJESTY. 4.- OSBORNE, Tuesday. The Queen walked in the grounds yesterday afternoon with Princess Louise, and her Majesty went out driving this morning. Princess Louise drove out yesterday, attended by Lady Waterpark and Lady Caroline Barrington• His Royal Highness the Duke of. Edinburgh ar rived at Osborne in the afternoon from London, attended by the Hon. E. Yorke. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh dined with the Queen yesterday, and the Countess of Morton (lady in waiting to the Princess of 11'ales) had the honour of being invited. Enlargement of an Orphanage; On Campden Hill, nearly midway between the main roads of Bayswater and Kensington, there is to be found at No. 4, Vicarage-place, on the northern outskirts of that last-mentioned suburb, one of those charming retreats for poor children who have been deprived by death of their n atural protectors, known amongst us under the name of • Orphanages. The particular establishment we are here alluding to is a more than usually favourable specimen of its class. It is called St. Vincent's Orphanage —deriving its title, as it does, from one of the noblest of Christian Philanthropists, on e to - whose benevolent suggestion Christendo m is indebted for the establishment of th e Sisters of Charity among the most be loved . and revered of our European institu tions. During the autumn of last year several alterations and - improvements were commenced a t St. Vincent's Orphanage at Kensington, alteration s that are now fast approaching their completion. A commodious chapel, a large play-ground, and a refectory, together with airy dormitories and sepe rate class-rooms have been, according to the origina l idea, provided during ,the last twelvemonth for one hundred children. In anticipation of the spee d y completion of thesevarious enlargements and ge nera' changes for the better in the internal arrangement of St. Vincent's Orphanage on Campden Hill, there have, within the last week, been two little festivitiso or celebrations within the walls of the building. Th e first of these two little celebrations, as we ha ° called them, collected together there among th e promoters of the interests of the particular charity in question, patronesses as large hearted in their sympathies and as open-handed in their benevolence, as the Baroness Rothschild and the Marchioness of Londonderry. The secon d of these celebrations took place on Sunday after noon, when the proceedings were presided over in person by the Most Rev. I Dr. Manning, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westmlw ster. It is worthy of note, in regard to th e changes and enlargements that have alrea d _i i been effected in the course of the above fla w ' enlargements or alterations of St. Vincent's Or phanage, that the new apartments recently added t° it, but more especially the Dormitories, are still to this hour wholly unfurnished. " Meanwhile," W e read in a printed circular, a copy of which W 35 placed in our hands only the other day upon out visiting the institution, " Meanwhile so many applications have been made for the admis sion of destitute children, that the directress of the institution has felt it her duty to receive the Wet pressing cases ;" the circular adding, very siroP l /' but with an eloquent impressiveness appealiligt directly to the sympathies of the charitable, O a , the greater part of the hundred children contaill.e,"ll in the orphanage are still quite unprovided W l l proper beds or bedding. That one remaining de" ciency, we cannot think will long continue uusi l l 3- plied at St. Vincent's Orphanage. • LITERATURE. Swordsmanship for the Use of Soldiers. By tenant Alfred Hutton, 7th (Q. 0.) H uss ars. In an unpretending little book of only nine p a g es ' Mr. Hutton, a young officer, who has had th e aU vantage of serving both in cavalry and infantri..' has laid down a series of simple instructions for use of the soldier. Short and few as these instruct tions are, they yet contain all that is required ; f ° the use of the sword can no more be learnt by mere ia reading than can swimming or horsemanship. St , 0 some simple rules tend much to lighten t' task of the instructor, and hasten the %og re ss of the pupil. A brief treatise, such as that no; ; before us, has long been wanted, and the army Mr. Hutton their thanks for his contribution to po l fessional literature. The author does not 101 himself to the sword, but treats also of the bayon et ' and in so doing shows that his double apprentice ship to the art of war has not been without its frult s ; Both the officers and soldiers of our army have I ° ll ' been celebrated for their want of skill with the sword and bayonet in single combat. Fortunatcli their ignorance has, to a certain extent, been 00111- pensated for by superior strength and courag!' The authorities have endeavoured to supply this want by means of regulations for sword and bayonet exercise; but these have not been drawn up by skilful hands, and the soldier is but a 1 3°° match for the pupil of a private school of arn i !" The Horse Guards seem to have recognised th l° fact, for they have ordered Mr. Hutton's system . t ° be tried at Aldershot. We have no fear of itt: success, and venture to congratulate the gall ant author on the professional zeal and ability v: Uu : has led him to compile this useful little book on 14' art which his brother so well exemplified in the famous charge at Balaklava.
