The Chancellor of the Exchequer and his son, the new member of Parliament, seem to have been re solved not to let their opponents lathe political world have all the speeches to themselves, and accordingly they arranged a grand entertainment at Hawarden, which went off very successfully. Mr. GLADSTONE made an appropriate discourse, in which he referred in an amusing manner to the difficulties he had passed through in his electioneering contest. One of the chief annoyances was that he was considered so young. He consoled himself, however, for this by remembering that parliamentarylife required him to serve an apprenticeship, andgave utterance to the reasonable remark that the day would never return which would see a Prime Minister of the age of 23, and nowadays we have certainly gone to the opposite extreme, for we have a Premier over fourscore. Mr. GLADSTONE does not seem to be ambitious of engaging in fierce strifes of political controversy, for he declared that there was only a very fine line between the opposite sections, and that on the hust ings one was sometimes puzzled to find out which party a candidate belonged to. The hon. member concluded by expressing with becoming diffidence his doubts as to whether he should fulfil the wishes expressed in the addresses presented to him, that he might rival his father in his public career. The Chancellor of the Exchequer subsequently made some observations, which were received with great applause. The right hon. gentleman began his remarks by paying a compliment to Mr. BANKES, who, forgetting party differences, had come among them in a cordial spirit, and spoken frankly of his sentiments. Mr. GLADSTONE declared that the rule of Englishmen was to shake hands when they had done fighting ; so now, that the election was over, they could, of course, meet in a position of amity. On this occasion the Chancellor of the Exchequer was in one of his happiest moods, and abjuring bitter and acrimonious expressions, he sought to make the best of things, and discover neutral ground upon whichall might meet and agree to differ. There was truth in the satisfactory reflections of the right hon. gentleman, for there are many points of inte rest on which little or no variance of opinion is met with. Thus, as is here mentioned, "we are alike in valuing the Constitution under which we live ; we are alike in loving the QUEEN ; we are alike in re vering the laws ; we are alike in wishing to pre serve and hand down to our children in still greater efficiency the institutions under which we live." It would be well if these ideas were more generally entertained among public men, and then there would not be so much bitterness of feeling. In England, however, it is fortunate that we have, in a great measure, outlived the rancour of party feeling which raged so fiercely in the last generation, and occasioned so much discord and misery in many directions. Mr. GLADSTONE also alluded to the necessity that existed for different parties in the State, and dwelt upon the advantages that accrued therefrom, individually and collectively. He set a wise ex ample to some of the vehement disciples of Mr. BRIGHT'S. School., when he said that he considered that if all were on one side they would go wrong. There must be a weight in each scale, or one will go up and the other down. " I know very well," said the right hon. gentleman, " that the gentle men who sit opposite t o rao have the same earnes t desire for the interests of the country as mys e lf," and he went on to describe in an anmiinf, manner the necessity of there being some one to l oo k sharp in any important w or k . after those engaged It is all very well to talk of possessing the confidence o f the people, but something more is requisite. "If you have the best possible set of workmen iu any establishment it does not show any want of confidence in them if you say you must have a foreman, some body to see that they do their duty, and whatever the opposition may be, whatever the Government may be, it is the business of the Opposition to see that the Government do their duty, and to find fault with them when they do not." Such is a very fair definition of the high duties of an Opposition, and it reflects great credit on the right hon. gentleman that be should come forward and give it so clearly and fully. The other day Lord STANLEY presented us with an admirable account of the duties and privileges of the House of Commons, and now we have, on the high authority of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a description of the services of the Oppo sition, and the important work it has to perform. No doubt,. as Mr. GLADSTONE ObSerVid, T.-lien- the debate is hot and keen it is very easy to forget the full jgniticanee of this fact; but still, in periods of calm and reflection, it is impossible not to recognise its truth and appreciate its importance. Certainly the right hon. gentleman is very well qualified to pass an opinion upon the advantages of criticism, for few public men have been more subjected to it than himself both by friends and foes, And no one is more prone to indulge in it than he is ; so that, when he affirms it to be his opinion, based upon philosophical inquiry, that each " party is indebted to the animadversions and criticisms of the other," we may safely infer that them is some use in the " war of words," which has been stigmatised as waste of precious time and neglect of public interests. Men are kept up to the mark by the reflection that they are being subjected to a close scrutiny and a severe test by their opponents, and thus are put on their mettle, while the excitement of the controversy and the spirit of emulation developes new powers and brings to light latent gifts. Mr. GLADSTONE de voted the rest of his speech to topics of a more domestic and local nature ; and, in alluding to the magical flight of time, he said that was some consolation for those who began to count up the years that were past and to think that the years to come might be few, that when they retired from the scene of their active exertions they would leave behind them those who would honourably and devotedly exert themselves to the good and happiness of their country. On the whole, it may be said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a speech which reflected great credit on his statesmanlike discernment of the great interests of the State, and which took a genial view of the intercourse which might subsist between public men, who, amid all the differences of party and varieties of opinion, could unite in the great work of serving their common country, and thus leave behind them benefits that would endure when the temporary events of the hour were forgotten. The British. Association has fairly concluded its Labours for another year, having accomplished its allotted work by taking a comprehensive survey of matters scientific and instructive. On Wednesday morning the final papers were gone through, many of the sections having closed their labours on the previous day. In some departments the number of contributions was so great as to require a supple mental sitting, and certainly the interest and im portance of the topics touched upon fully accounted for the retention of the papers. One of them pos sessed a melancholy interest, and we suspect few of the audience could have listened to Mr. WHYMPER'S account of the peculiarities of the Matterhorn with out painful thoughts- of the tragedy so recently enacted on that mountain. The account of the mountain is very interesting. Mr. WHYMPEIt ob serves that the reason why the ascent of the moun tain was hitherto found so difficult was that the attempts were made from the western and southern sides, where small jagged fragments of rock con tinually project, sloping downwards. He arrived at the conclusion, after careful observation, that on the opposite side of the mountain these sort of steps or ledges of rock must slope the other way, and consequently afford some slight footing to the climber. This theory proved to be correct, and the whole of the north-east face of the mountain proved to be " a long staircase, with the steps shelving inwards." It was from this selection of the spot for the ascent that the unfortunate party found their way so much easier than they had anticipated. Nevertheless the ascent of the Matterhorn is not an adventure to be lightly attempted, and we can only hope that it may be left to its solitary glory, and that no more valuable lives may be risked in what is after all a profitless though perilous exploit. In the Economic Science Department a very in teresting paper was contributed by Mr. GOODMAN on the Small Arms manufacture of Birmingham. The statistics of this trade show how important and extensive its operations are. Several branches of it require very great skill, and are highly paid ; in deed, during the last ten years it is probable that the wages earned in this trade exceed those of any other. The work is mostly paid by the piece, and a workman in some of the branches in full employ ment sometimes earns from £5 to £6 per week. This high remuneration is not, however, too easily earned, for as a sample of the delicacy and accuracy of workmanship required in the barrel boring, Mr. GOODMAN mentions that a military barrel must be bored with such care that it will receive a plug measuring 577 thousandths of an inch, and it is condemned as useless if it take one measuring 5801 The payment for all the skilled branches of work is very high, and a man is held to be an inferior workman in any of those departments if , he cannot, single-handed, earn his 30s. a week. This rate of wages Mr. GOODMAN considers to be excessive, and damaging to the trade, which has to contend against the cheap labour of Liege and other places which are now rising into formidable competition. The number of guns made in Bir mingham is immense. In the twelve years from 1801 to 1813 it was more than four millions, or over a thousand per working day. The establish ment of the Birmingham small arms factory, on the American interchangeable system, will, Mr. GOOD3IAN thinks, be of great advantage to the trade. The gentlemen who boast so largely about the strict neutrality which this country , observed during the American war had better turn 1 to the statistics given respecting the supply of arms from Birmingham to the Northern States. With the exception of a brief embargo laid on the export of arms during the affair of the Trent, a steady supply was kept up from May, 1861, to October, 1863. On the removal of the embargo spoken of one steamer took out from Southampton 40,000 rifles to New York. The trade worked at its full power, straining every nerve, till we find by the return from the Birmingham proof-house "in the month of October, 1863, 69,315 rifle barrels were proved, being very few short of 2,000 per day from Birmingham alone." This number, as the writer observes, is altogether unprecedented in the history of the trade. Up to March, 1863, the number of guns supplied to America was from 40,000 to 50,000 per month. This is pretty fair when we remember the outcry that was raisedabout suffering an unarmed vessel to leave our shores. Fifty thousand guns are likely to do More damage than one unarmed ship, yet fifty thousand was merely one month's p b l e a r i n of away Ellfie tilciiis rifles su pply. How do ou r non -i n t erv e n tii on ora t ors ex plain awkward fact, that the total num and Birmingham wasse considerablyl sent to Amer icaover o o n in e million. London In the same department an interesting paper was read belonging more properly to the Social Science gathering than to the Scientific Association. It related to " the social, moral, and educational status of the population of South Staffordshire," a n d upon the great preval ence of d elstrongly t among them, and the extensive era out-door labour. Lord ployment of female HouGwroN remarked that the employment of women was a difficult subject, and he remembered once, after speaking against it, receiving a letter from a woman employed in the brick trade, in which she said, I; P ray do not take away the small sum we get for making bricks till 'you', give us some other means of earning a living." There is no doubt some reason in this appeal, and poor women are too often_compelled to help to earn a living for their THE SUN, LONDON, FEIDAY EVENL\ G, SEPTEMBER 15, 1865. families or to see them want ; but we cannot agree with Lord HOUGHTON in thinking that to discourage women with out-door work is to encourage idle ness. Every mother M a family in the working classes hat gate enotigh to occupy all her energies at home, and the wretched, neglected condition of the children and the home of a woman who is en gaged all day away from home too surely testifies that the choice doeS not lie between idleness and industry, but between wages and want. As for the temperance question, his lordship is probably in the right, and the reformation of the lower classes in. this matter must be brought about, like that of the upper and middle ranks, by slow degrees of refinement, enlightenment, and instruction. But the other speakers, who argued from the teetotal side of the question, should remember that it is not always drink that leads to poverty, but often pro verty that leads to drink. The hard work, the wretched, dirty homes, bad air, bad drainage, bad water, poor food badly cooked, are all powerful auxiliaries to the public-house, and so long as our working men have to contend against all these we shall find them given to drink. Again, the lack of diversion or recreation is another great reason for frequenting those places where company and mer riment are to be found. If your social reformers could bring cheap and wholesome amusement (not directly instructive) to the doors of our working men they would do more to reduce the perils of the public-house than by countless editions of temper ance tracts. Railway and other Companies. GREAT EASTERN. It appears that the statement recently circulated to the effect that this company were to commence running coal trains over the Great Northern loop line on Oct. 1 was not correct.

OTT. 4,- (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) BERLIN, Sept. 13. The semi-official 11'orddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung prefaces its already telegraphed version of the cir cumstances which led to the death of M. Ott with the following remarks : " Prussia must really stand high ! When we find the chorus of the Pruq,so-hating foreign press reduced so low as to obtain the material for its attacks out of the ' Miscellaneous Intelligence,' we are well entitled to exclaim, ' Prussia must really stand high ' " Were we to avail ourselves of the horrible murders that have stained English soil within the last few weeks for the purpose of attacking Lord Palmerston's Cabinet, this course would justly be considered ridiculous ; and if any one were to attempt to deduce from the late theatrical riot at Lyons conclusions hostile to the system of GoVern= ment in France, the French press would not hesi tate a monient to point out the absurdity. " And yet we see the French and English press daily adopt this ridiculous course, daily commit this absurdity by making a squabble at Bonn—an unfortunate affair, truly, but far removed from all political importance—the peg on which to hang their attacks upon Prussia. " Yesterday, too, comes the Independance, which ordinarily takes a more sober view of matters, and writes upon the same subject, as follows : "'We have hesitated to express the feelings which the murder committed upon a French subject in Bonn by the nephew of a Prussian Minister could not fail to call forth within us, because we presumed that Prussian justice would do her duty. But the impunity which the perpetration of the deed appears to enjoy has evoked general indignation in England, and especially in France, and the press of both _ _ countries emphatically demands that the Govern ments should interfere to obtain legal satisfaction. We hear, indeed, from Paris that the French Go vernment has taken steps for this purpose, and it is more than probable that similar representations will be made by the English Government to the Prussian Cabinet. Should these reclamations re main unnoticed, a stranger in a country inhabited by savages would be more secure than in that land, where, as the miller of Sans Solid said, judges are to be found who give judgment even against the king. Thus the Independance:— "We will first ask the Belgian paper what answer even a Belgian Minister of Justice would return if a foreign Power should permit itself to interfere by such diplomatic steps in the administra tion of justice in that small but still sovereign State. And we believe that if the independence had only taken the trouble to reflect, it would not have assumed the ridiculous office of further diffusing its correspondent's statement of such an interference from abroad with the Prussian administration of justice, and of discussing it with this foolish com mentary. And if the Independance, instead of allowing itself to be deluded by this fable of its Paris correspondent, had taken the further trouble of making inquiries into the subject in Bonn, it would have been in a position to correct the lying narratives of French and English papers which re port that a Prussian officer slew an unarmed man with his sabre. "At Bonn, however, everybody knows that two or three students, on going home in the evening, had an altercation with a very considerable and superior number of persons ; that a row followed, in which one of the students, who is serving in the army as a private, had his sabre torn from the scabbard by one of his opponents; that hereupon, in order to defend himself, the student laid about him with the scabbard, and that in this squabble one of the opponents of the student was injured in the head with a blunt instrument, but whether with the scab bard or with a stick is not settled. In consequence of this injury, in which not even the bone is said to have been damaged, the wounded man .was seized with erysipelas in the head, of which he died. How far this inflammation may have been occasioned by the fact that the wounded man was far advanced in intoxication when he received his hurt must be left to medical opinion, but it is on evidence that both the parties concerned in the row were considerably in liquor. (" This is the case, as known to every one in Bonn, a case such as often occurs in university towns, but without this deplorable termination. And every one knows also that the student who is said to have dealt the unlucky blow, will, if he have dealt it, fall under the punishment of the law, no matter what name he bears, no matter whether he is the relative of a Minister, or of any other citizen. But that the young man should be more harshly treated than other subjects of the State because he is the relative of a Minister, that the ordinary procedure should be departed from and greater strictness applied in his case, for the sake of gratifying a few newspapers, is something that cannot seriously be expected even were it proved that the wound was inflicted by Count Eulenburg. The accused himself is not aware of this being the case, and it may be difficult to settle with certainty in such a matter as a night affray. To attempt, however, to manufacture political capital out of such an occurrence is, as we have said, purely ridiculous, and we could have - wished that a paper like the Independence would have guarded itself against the reproach we cannot re frain from making. From this proceeding of the press, however, as observed, we can only derive the conviction that Prussia really must stand high when attacks against us are derived from such materials." Napoleon 111. and Isabella 11. -~--- (From Me Times) If, as Louis XIV. is reported to have said, or as somebody has said for him, punctuality be the politeness of Kings, Queen Isabella of Spain has something to learn in this respect. For instance, her arrival at San Sebastian from Zaranz on Friday was some hours after the one fixed upon, and when she went to the church there was, I believe, but one person to sing the Te Deum, it being supposed that her Majesty had changed her mind. Her troops, however, had to remain standing for hours under a burning sun, and were obliged to remain to the last. Then, again, on Sunday she kept the bishop, his clergy, and the whole congrega tion waiting three-quarters of an hour, though the distance from the Hotel de Ville, where she was lodged, to the church may be walked over in five minutes. In the matter of ptinctitality the Queen might take a lesson from her Imperial brother, with whom she is now exchanging visits. Punctual or unpunctual, however, the King, Queen; Infanta, Prince of Asturias, and the other Royal children attended Mass at San Sebastian on Sun day. They were received at the church door by the Bishop of Vittoria, in whose diocess San Sebastian is, and who stood arrayed in full pontificals to give the holy water to their Majesties. The whole party, including the nurse of the youngest of her Majesty's children--a fine young woman from the mountains of Santander—proceeded under the canopy of white satin embroidered in gold, borne by ecclesiastics, to the high altar, the bishop leading the way, and the organ, which is a gift from a native of San Sebastian, and is Said to be one of the finest in Europe, pealing its solemii music. On the gospel, or left-hand side of the spectator, a gorgeous canopy of crimson silk, richly ornamented within the sanctuary, had been erected, with arm-chairs and hassocks for their Majesties. Mass immediately commenced, the bishop officiated, and the Te Deum performed with much solemnity. They were conducted from the altar to the church door with the same ceremonial as on entering. At 1 o'clock the Queen held a reception of the civil authorities and other inhabitants of the town who might ChoOse to attend. At half past 3 she drove, attended by a feiv only of her suite, to Luscati, to visit a cloth manufactory belonging to the Messrs. Brunet, of San Sebastian, who had made every preparation to receive the . m. She returned by way of Hernani and the picturesque village of Astigarraza, and descended the Urumea, which winds through the tranquil valley of Loyola. The Urumea flows into the sea close to San Sebas tian, at the bridge of Santa Catalina, where the Royal carriages were waiting. Yesterday Queen Isabella touched with her foot the soil of France for the first time. Her arrival at Biarritz had been announced for three o'clock; but, exact in her unpunctuality, she did not make her appearance till four. The day was lovely, perhaps a little too warm, but tempered by a delicious breeze from the sea. The town was crowded to excess. Thousands of vehicles of every size, form, and capacity, came in from Bayonne and its neigh hood. Biarritz possesses many fine hotels and resta raunts, *but three times the number would hardly suffice for the numbers that filled it yesterday. Along the road to the Negresse station, by which the Queen was to enter Biarritz, were erected lofty poles bearing the flags of France and Spain alternately, and a triumphal arch, at a short distance, on which floated the colours of several nations, among them the British flag and the stars and stripes of the United States. On the sideways of this road thousands were either standing or seated on chairs, which at 12 o'clock were hired at five sous, and which a little before three were quoted at if., and half an hour after from l f. to 2f., according as the demand exceeded the supply. As the day wore away and no Queen appeared, the unpunctuality of the Royal visitor was very freely commented upon. It was remarked, very truly, that the Emperor arrived at the San Se bastian station at 2 55 exactly, as he had an nounced, and that, also as announced, he entered the Hotel de Ville at 3, or a minute sooner. How ever, there was no help for it ; they were there, and there they must remain or miss the sight. There were a good many false alarms got up by wags at the expense of the assemblage, who heartily laughed at their own simplicity. The best of all was caused by an old Basque peasant, who traversed the whole line, or the greater part of it, from the Ne gresse to Biarritz, mounted on a diminutive but lively donkey. He was hailed with shouts of laugh ter and applause, acknowledged the compliment paid him with inimitable gravity, and repeatedly bowed his thanks at the cry of " Vive le Cent Garde !" Hope was also from time to time excited and as con stantly baffled by the passage of the officers of the Imperial Household from the Palace to the Negresse to meet the Royal cortege. At last the whole of the Cent Gardes / on duty at Biarritz were seen to issue from their, quarters and enter the road leading to the railway station. They were magnificently dressed and superbly mounted. Their plumed helmets and corselets glittered like silver in the sun, and in their appointments their appearance— for they are the finest men in the French army— gave you the idea of perfect men-at-arms. A mur mur of admiration was heard as they rode slowly by. They are all men in the prime of life, and have the rank of sub-officers. They corresponded in number to the Halabarderos who attended the Queen of Spain, but otherwise there is no similarity be tween the stately Cent Gardes, with their glittering helmets, their skyblue tunics, steel corselets, and magnificent chargers, and the Halabarderos with their three-obrnered hats and their uniform, which makes them look somewhat like parish beadles. A little before 3 the Emperor left the Palace, at tended by the principal officers of his household. He wore the same dress as when he entered San Sebastian—the uniform of a lieutenant-general, with the collar of the Golden Fleece, out of compliment to his royal guest. He was not long going over the two miles and a half between Biarritz and the Negresse, and he arrived there long before the Queen. After a few more false alarms the cortege was heard ap proaching. Those who had climbed on the walls and housetops could discern the flashing of the swords and helmets of the cavalry as they appeared now and then in the turns of the road, which were concealed by the trees. The head of the cortege at last appeared. Six Cent Gardes opened the way, followed by two outriders, *who immediately pre ceded the Imperial carriage in which were seated the Emperor, the King, the Queen, and her daughter, the Infanta. The Queen and her daughter were dressed in black, and wore the man tilla, which became them well, particularly the Infanta, who is rather tall and thin. The King wore the uniform of a Spanish Field-Marshal, and of course, out of compliment to his Imperial host, the riband and cross of the Legion of Honour. As the carriage passed under the balconies of a house at the turn of the road into the town, bouquets of flowers were flung into the carriage, very probably by Spanish ladies who were standing there. The next.carriage contained the Prince Imperial and the Prince of Asturias, and the rest of the carriages contained the Spanish Ministers—among whom was O'Donnell—Generals, and their aides-de-camp, &c. The cortege was closed by a troop of Chasseurs. The party drove to the Imperial residence, where the Queen was received most graciously and grace fully by the Empress. After a short rest their Majesties, with their suite, proceeded to Bayonne, which is, as you are aware, about four miles from Biarritz. The first visit was to the Cathedral, due notice of which had been sent to the episcopal resi dence. The Bishop was absent on his confirmation tour, which usually coincides with the visit of the Emperor to Biarritz; and his Grand Vicaire lies dangerously ill. The rest of the clergy did their best to receive their Majesties. The canopy was at the church door, the ecclesiastic whose duty it is to present the holy water, &c. As they walked up to the altar the 7'e Deuni was chanted. After per forming their devotions the party drove down to the large square of Bayonne — la Place d'Armes--:and issued out on the Allies Marines, which are the finest public walks to be found anywhere along the banks of the Adour, with the citadel crowning the heights opposite. The carriages swept round the glacis of the fortifications, .entered the high road, and returned by Anglet to Biarritz at about a quar ter to 7. The dinner was served at 7. A magnificent dis play of fireworks was given in the square at Biarritz opposite the Palace. At a little after 10 the party broke up. The Emporor accompanied the Queen to the station, and took an affectionate leave of her husband and her children. Her Majesty will have entered San Sebastian about midnight.

A GREAT OCEAN RACE.—The celebrated China clipper ships Fiery Cross and Serica arrived in Lon don on Tuesday, from Foo-chow-foo, having on board the first teas of the season. The Fiery Cross was built by Messrs. Challoner, of Liverpool, in December, 1860, and each year has proved herself ono of the fastest clippers in the world. The Serica, however, built by Messrs. Robert Steele and Co., Greenock, and launched in August, 1863, completely outstripped the Fiery Cross last year, and gained the premium. On the outward run to China this season the Serica again beat her rival " down the sea" by two days. From the fact of two such celebrated clippers having been pitted against each other, consider able interest was centred in the result, in London, Liver pool, and upon the Clyde. Both ships were towed to sea together on the 28th May, and proceeded on their home ward voyage. On the 23d June the Serica passed the Straits of Sunda, 27 days out, and on the following day the Fiery Cross passed the same straits, being 28 days out. The sailing qualities of the Serica are reported as being superior in strong winds and heavy weather; the Fiery Cross, on the other hand, excelling in light weather• Nothing was again heard of the ships until Sunday, when both vessels arrived off the Isle of Wight almost simul taneously. By a stroke of good fortune, however, a tug steamer ran alongside the Fiery Cross, and, having taken her in tow, reached Gravesend the same tide. No other tug being in the vicinity, the Serica stood out to mid channel in order to catch the flood tide, but did not get or see a steamer again till she got to the Foreland, and, in consequence, lost the tide. Had the Serica been fortunate enough to have fallen in with the tug sent out to bring her in/rem off the Isle of Wight all would have been well, as both ships would have gone up the Thames together. As it was, however, the Fiery Cross got up first and thus secured the premium. The voyage from Foo chow-foow is about 25,000 miles, and occupied 106 days.— Glasgow Ilerald. AN INNKEEPER COMMITTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER. —An inquest was concluded at Preston, yesterday, on the body of a woman, named Elizabeth Callerewho met with her death on the Ist inst. under suspicious circum stances. The deceased was a widow, about 30 years of ago, and somewhat dissolute in her habits, and she had been living for a short time at a public-house in Great Hanover street, Preston, kept by a man named Thos. Cushion. On the night of the 31st ult. the deceased and Mrs. Cushion went to a neighbouring public-house, and on returning at a late hour the husband of the latter created a disturb ance. He was heard to thrash his wife, and both she and the deceased screamed out " murder." Some neighbours heard the deceased shout out as if pain, and then all was silent. Early next morning Mrs. Cushion went into the next house and informed the occupants that the deceased was very ill. They returned with her, found tho de ceased lying on one of the bedroom floors nearly naked ; and on examining her saw that she was dying. The land lord Cushion was brewing at this time, and on being told that the woman was dying, he said, " Let her die ; I have not time to attend to her." Mr. Smith, surgeon, was called in, but he could give no assistance, and the woman after wards died. On a post mortem examination being made, several bruises were found on the deceased's body ; her head was injured; her brain was extensively congested — and she had evidently died from sanguinous apoplexy, produced by either a blow or a heavy fall. Some time ago Cushion was heard to say that he would kill the deceased.; but on the night in question no ono who was examined at the inquest saw him strike her ; and no ono could say that she had fallen anywhere so as to produce the injuries named. All that was stated definitely against Cushion was that before the deceased went into his house on the night in question she was quite well, and had no marks of vio lence upon her; that afterwards she was heard to scream whilst he was creating a disturbance; and that next morn '- ing she was found dying from external injuries. Cushion was committed to take his trial at the next Lancaster assizes on the charge of manslaughter. Bail was taken for his appearance. Yesterday morning he was brought be fore the magistrates at the Police-court and charged with manslaughter. After a formal investigation, the case was remanded until Friday. THE LATE FIRE ON BOARD THE SEINE.—The diractors of the West India Royal Mail Company having felt it their duty to investigate the circumstances connected with the fire which occurred on board their steamship Seine on the night of the 13th of August, with the view of finding out, if possible, the cause of the fire, an inquiry was held at Southampton on Monday last for that purpose. Among other documents produced on this occasion were letters from the Post-office and from the Board of Trade, complimenting Captain Revett and those under his com mand for their conduct during the fire. It appeared to the committee of investigation that the fire could not be ac counted for except the supposition were correct that it arose from the spontaneous ignition of the contents of a case of indiarnbber waterproof clothing, remains of which were found among the burnt and damaged cargo. The directors have consequently decided to place such articles on the list of those prohibited by the regulations of the company from being shipped on board their vessels. Th e court of directors have marked their approval of the meA praiseworthy conduct of Captain Revett, and the perfect discipline displayed by all the officers and crew of the Seine, on the trying occasion, by ordering testimonials of suitable value to be presented to Captain Revett, gr• Gribble (the chief engineer), Mr. Parkes (chief officer), Mr . Savage (second officer), Mr. Serjcant (third officer), M r ' Cheeseman (acting fourth officer), Mr. Chase (fifth officer) , Mr. Walker (surgeon), Mr. Morrish (purser), and Mr. Blaker (carpenter), and also to Captain Reeks, who was e • passenger - to England on board the Seine at the time, hav ing been invalided home from the company's steamer Solent, and who exerted himself very much on the occa sion, although on time sick list. The rest of the ship' s company—viz., those in the seamen's, engineer's, a_u, e : saloon departments will IA presented with one month e a pay. Letters of thanks have also been addressed by tll_ directors to Captain Ramsey and Mr. Gramm, passeng e ; on board the Seine, fur the ready assistance rendered by them during the fire. The damages done to the fittings . 9, 1 the vessel by the fire have been repaired, and she w- leave oiiay Southampton n with ext. m the outward ails in regu lar course on l GRAND 'TRUNK Or CANADA. The traffic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending Aug. 20 amounted for local pas sengers to £6,668; foreign passengers, £4,498 ; emigrants, £4lO ; mails, &c., £829 ; local freight and live stock, £9,656 ; foreign freight and live stock, £2,960 ; total, £25,021, against £22,091 for the corresponding week last year, showing an in crease of £2,930. The total receipts from July 1 to the above date amounted to £198,129, and for the same period last year to £181,094, showing an in crease of £17,035. MILL WA LL IRONWORKS. The directors of this company have declared an ad interim dividend of 8 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending June 30 last, payable on the 30th inst. CHARLES MATHEWS AT PARIS.—In their weekly reviews the Paris papers speak in the highest terms of the performance of Charles Mathews in the " Homme Blase" (" Used Up"). They examine his qualities as an actor, and pronounce a most favourable verdict. At least I can answer for half a dozen papers now before me. M. Sarcey, in the Opinion Nationale, writes a searching and excellent criticism, concluding strongly in favour of the artist, who has not feared to expose himself to the keen dissection of Parisian feuilletonistes. "His success," says the Gazette de France, " was complete and incontestable." FATAL CARRIAGE ACCIDENT AT HALIFAX.—On Wednesday morning Miss Kate Simpson, a young lady 16 years of age, died at Halifax from injuries received by being thrown from a carriage on Saturdayafternoon last. On that day deceased, who was on a visit at Halifax, was been driven out for an airing by Mr. Naylor, surgeon, of Halifax. In the vehicle were also Mrs. Naylor and Mrs, Blow, of Grimsby. After turning into Pellon-lane from Queen's-road, the horse took fright and dashed down the lane. All the ladies took alarm and jumped out of the carriage. The horse continued its flight as far as Alma street, where Mr. Naylor succeeded in pulling it up. In leaping from the vehicle all the ladies were injured. The injuries sustained by Mrs. Naylor and Mrs. Blow were, however, of an external character, and both these ladies are now recovering. Miss Simpson was picked up in an unconscious state, and was found to be suffering from con cussion of the brain. She lingered in an insensible condi tion until Wednesday morning, when she died. Neither Mr. Naylor nor the horse were at all injured. A WOMAN WITH THREE H USD ANDS .—At the Leeds Town-hall on Tuesday, a respectably-dressed, 'middle-aged woman, named Eliza Denison, was charged with bigamy. It appeared that the prisoner had been married three times, all hor husbands being alive. Abou ten years ago she was married to John Denison, at the Leeds parish ; in April last she was united to John New stun, at St. Judo's Church, ilunslet; and on Monday last she again entered the matrimonial state with William Boo cock, at All Saints' Church. She was apprehended on Mon day evening by Detective-Sergeant Nevin, on information given by her first husband. The prisoner, who had nothing ;o say in answer to the charge, was committed for trial a the next assizes at Leeds. Mr. liarle asked that she should be admitted to bail. Her first husband had led her a most uncomfortable life, and had frequently threatened to kill her. When Newsam became united to her he know that she was a married woman. Ho also made Ler most unhappy. The Mayor —Will the three husbands become bail for her ? (Laughter.) Mr. Harle—l am afraid not; but Boocock is ready to do so. The Mayor said it was a most shameful case, and he could only release the prisoner on heavy bail, namely, her own recognisances of £5O, and two respectable householders of £25 each. The bail was found. A LADY ASSAULTED BY HER COACHMAN.—The Court of Assizes of the Seine on Wednesday tried a coachman, named Vincent, lately in the service of M. Clausse, a gentleman residing in the Boulevard Male sherbes, on two several charges of attempt to murder and indecent assault, committed on his master's wife, on the evening of the 7th August last. As the circumstances of the case were given in full at the time, it will suffice to say that when driving his mistress and two children from Paris to his master's country residence at Bellevue, late on the evening in question, the prisoner, instead of taking the usual road, went through the Bois de Boulogne. On ar riving at a solitary place, not far from Auteuil, he stopped the carriage, opened the door, and struck Mme. Clausse violent blows on the head with a screw wrench. The lady managed to get out at the opposite door, but the pri soner ran round the carriage and attacked her again. He at last threw her down, and, but for the lady's heroic re sistance, would undoubtedly have subjected her to the worst of outrages. Her shrieks and the cries of the chil dren at last attracted the notice of a person passing through the wood, and ou his approach the prisoner ran away, and Mme. Clausse was taken btick to her mother's in Paris in a woful plight. The prisoner was arrested two days later and committed for trial. -After hearing the evidence of Mine. Clausso and other witnesses, the jury found the pri soner guilty of the indecent assault, but acquitted him on the charge of attempt to murder. As the jury made no mention of extenuating circumstances, the Court sentenced him to hard labour for life. • DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO A FA RMER.—A fatal accident occurred to Mr. Samuel Newbery, of Crok ham Farm, a few days ago. An auction was announced to take place at the Thcombe Inn on that day for the sale of some of the keep of the farm, which Mr. Newbery was in ' tending to quit, and several persons had been to view the lots. Mr. Newbery was in excellent spirits, and, expecting the arrival of the auctioneers, he hastily ran to a field to aesist in making a load of wheat. He was on the load, and a man was on the ground near. A pick was stuck into the ground or leaning against the load, stem upwards. Whether Mr. Newbery jumped off or fell off from any cause is not known, but he disappeared from the load, and on the man going round to the side from which he fell he was horrified to find Mr. Newbery on the ground with his face down wards, and the pick standing upright from his body ! Ho must have fallen with his back upcu the upright pick-stem, which passed through his body, and then the pick fell with him to the ground, he, in his agony, afterwards turning round upon his face. The man pulled the pick-stem from Mr. Newbery's body, and medical aid was promptly at hand. At intervals Mr. Newbery was enabled to write a word or two. From the first there was no hope of his re covery, or of his living many hours before mortification must ensue. This occurred, and for a brief interval he lost all pain, and death took place about six o'clock on the following morning. An inquest was held on the body before Spencer M. Cox, Esq., coroner, and a respectable jury. Evidence in accordance with the above facts was adduced, and a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. STATUE TO DR. JENNER AT BOLTLOGNE.—On Monday a statue, raised in honour of the English physician, Dr. Jenner, was inaugurated at Boulogne The statue was erected by the united exertions of a society of savants in Paris and the municipal corporation of Boulogne sur-lier. It stands on a marble pedestal about 12ft. high, and measures nearly 10ft. in height. It is of iron, bronzed by galvanic aid. The pose of the figure, which is clothed in the costume of 1810, is easy. The head is slightly in clined as though absorbed in thought. In the right hand he holds a lancet. The Mt hand reposes on a pile of trea ' tics placed on a pedestal, from which depends the sketch of a cow. The right foot is firmly placed over the word " Angleterre," while the left advanced over the word "France." On the border of the groundwork is inscribed the name of "Jenner," itud - on the pedestal is imprinted ‘ en ‘A ib Ered:ls.,, Edward Jenner, la France recounsisant, li me Sep t BANK OF FRANCE.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE EARL OF STRATHMORE. —We regret to learn that the Earl of Strathmore lies in a very precarious conditim, and that "Scarcely any hope is entertained of his recovory.—Dundee Advertiser. ITALY. FLORENCE, Sept. 11. The royal decree relative to the secondary schools to be established in the seminaries throughout Italy is expected to appear very shortly. Those schools in the seminaries already closed, either by the royal decree or the act of the bishops, will be opened by the Minister of Public Instruction s two-thirds of the revenue of the seminaries being sequestrated for their support, and the remaining third being allowed to the bishops for the maintenance of the schools of theology. The municipalities will be invited to share the expense in those cases where the two thirds of the revenue of the seminaries do not suf fice for the maintenance of the secondary schools. The managers and teachers will be all appointed by the Minister of Public Instruction. The clergy are making every possible effort to resist this measure, which saps their influence at its base, but up to the present they appear to have little chance of success. The Minister of Justice has addressed a circular to the procurators-general of the king dom, directing these to permit the free circulation of an address to the Pope, originated by the Unita Cattolica of Turin, on the 28th June last. Two or three hundred thousand signatures have been ob tained for this address up to the present, including, however, those of women and children. The Unita Cattolica had asserted that the signa tures were not numerous because those wishing to sign underwent persecution from the authorities. The present Ministerial circular, however, will render it clear that, if the people do not sign, it is because they disapprove of the object of the address, The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce has addressed a circular to the Chambers of Commerce and Arts in the kingdom, recommending that annual meetings of two representatives from each chamber should be held in some of the principal cities of Italy for the study of commercial and industrial questions, and the general promotion of arts and manufactures. Although the great utility of such assemblages is in no way doubtful, the Minister—and his opinion is shared by competent persons desires the pre liminary judgment of the Chamber of Commerce upon this matter, and requests to be furnished with the same - within the current month. The substance of the Ministerial proposal is as follows : The Chambers of Commerce throughout the kingdom shall annually hold a meeting or Congress of their representatives in the city fixed upon by the Congress itself. The first meeting to be held in Genoa. Each chamber will send two members as its representatives, and also, if desired, the Secre tary of the Chamber. The Congress will sit for three days, but may, if it be considered expedient, prolong the session to five or six days. The Con gress will enter upon its duties on the day fixed, whatever may be the number of representatives then present. The President and Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in the city, where the Con gress is held, will act as provisional President and Secretary of the latter, the definitive election of these officers being made by the Assembly. Every Chamber of Commerce will present to the Congress observations upon the statistical publications rela- ive to commerce and navigation. These observa tions will be examined and reported upon by a com mittee, and the decision of the Congress upon the same will be transmitted to the Ministry with all the necessary documents, in order to give• the com mercial statistics the greater possible accuracy. The Congress will state the subjects to be dis cussed by its successor. In the first year these will be drawn up by the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. The resolutions will always take the form of a recommendation to the Ministry or the Chambers of Commerce. The sittings, are public. Only the representatives of the Chambers will take part in the voting, and their resolutions will be valid whatever may be the number of representatives pre sent. Any member of a Chamber of Commerce may, however, participate in the debates upon stat ing that he holds that position. The Congress may also permit strangers to propound their views if furnished with a special recommendation from a Chamber of Commerce. The regulation of the Congress is entrusted to the President. As a rule, only the resolutions adopted will be printed in extenso, but the Congress may direct this to be also done in the case of debates of such importance as to render publicity useful. Every year a catalogue will be drawn up of all the works upon commerce and manufactures published in the kingdom, with an appendix enumerating the most important works published abroad, with a statement of their price. These catalogues will be distributed among the representatives, and sent to all the Chambers. The first Congress will draw up regulations for the better direction of its successor. FRANCE.

It will probably be remembered that a wreck occurred near that place in January last, during a fearful gale of wind, whsn Major F. W. Festing, R.A., and 12 of the Hayling fishermen incurred great risk of life in putting off in an open boat, and rescuing three out of the crew of five of the unfortunate vessel. The lifeboat now sent to Hayling by the institution is 32ft. long and 7ft. wide, and rows 10 oars double banked. Her self-righting and other qualities were fully and satisfactorily tested a few days ago in the Re gent's Canal Dock. The cost, amounting to £550, of this lifeboat establishment was munificently presented to the institution by Messrs. Leaf, Sons, and Co., and the boat is named the Olive Leaf. A free conveyance was readily given to the lifeboat and carriage between London and Havant by the London and South Western Railway Com pany.
