Sept. 13. The unrivalled splendour of the Illuminated Fountains In New York, where the PRESIDENT was received and Fireworks is well known. The great novelty of the display, with enthusiasm, he delivered an important address at D ELMONICO'S, where he was entertained at a sump tuous banquet. In it Mr. JOHNSON came boldly to the point at issue, and entered at once upon the subject of his policy. He felt, he said, that the Government, like the army and of had done its duty in the suppression of the rebellion. But the work was not done. The question of pre serving the Union had been settled by the armies and navies of the United States, but while one department of the Government had acted upon the assumption that the Union was intact, another de partment had assumed and carried out the doctrine that the Union was dissolved. This conduct on the part of the Congress was, as Mr. JOHNSON showed, totally opposed to the Constitution. In fer vent and eloquent language Mr. J OHNSON appealed to his hearers for their answer to this great national question. Were they, he asked, prepared for a fresh division, to see their fields again desolated by war, their land drenched in brothers' blood ? For himself he was both a Southern and a Northern man ; that was to say, he was a citizen of the United States, a Southerner by birth, a Northerner by principle and association. Before the close of the war the North had said to the South, "Disband THE BLAZING COMETS, will again receive a great extension on this occasion. They will travel an additional T 110USAND FEET, leading from the summit of the lofty WATER TOWERS—two hundred and sixty feet above the Cross of St. Paul's—to the WATER TEXIPLES, which they will light up with brilliant DOUBLE CASCADES OF FIRE, as seen on the Pont des Invalides at the Fete of the Em peror in Paris, on Wednesday, the loth of August, COll - with a grand SALVO OF COLOURED SHELLS, thus producing a mrgnitlcent ensemble prior to lighting up the series of Fountains. TILE SET FIREWORKS without parallel, one piece alone being 200 feet in circum ference. In place, however, of the first set piece on former occasions', a SHOWER of COLOURED SHELLS, rapidly fired into each other as they burst, will—as they did in Paris -form a prominent feature of this grand display. THE GRAND GIIIANDOLE OF ROCKETS far exceed in brilliancy and extent anything before wit nessed. The Rockets, with magnesium points, excite general admiration. The Parachutes with coloured stars, having afforded so much gratification, will be added t o . Twelve of these pleasing FLOATING STARS will be displayed at once. THE MAGNESIUM BALLOONS the landscape—the smoke causing passing shadows—are unique; while the GRAND ILLUMINA'T'ION OF THE FOUNTAINS is beyond question by far the most magnificent coup d'ceil ever presented to the public, and confers the greatest credit on Mr. Brock, the artist. To enable all classes to witness this great popular dis play, the ordinary price of admission will be charged, viz., ON'E SHILLING ONLY. Such a combination of magnificence, at such small cost, is without precedent. Former displays have been attended by more than ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOU SAND visitors. However many attend the Crystal Palaci , , there is ample room for all. Performances by the Orchestral Band of the Company and the Military Band, and the Great Organ at intervals, and the thousand and one attractions as usual. The Palace will be opened at half-past Nine. At Four o'clock ETHARDO, the wonder of the day, will make his LAST ASCENT PUT TWO of the Spiral Mountain, after which Promenade and combined musical perform ances until the GRAND DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS, commencing at Eight o'clock. The descent of Comets, Great Illumination of Fountains, Fire Temples, &c., will take place at about a quarter past Eight o'clock. NOTE.—The Palace will be brilliantly illuminated after the display for Evening Promenade until Half-past Nino o'clock.—T WELVE HOURS. Ample railway trains, leaving every few minutes, will be provided by the Companies for return to town. On the last two displays upwards of 50,000 visitors left the Palace without crowding within an hour of the termination of the Illumination of the Fountains. RYSTAL PALACE.

Speechmaking is the order of the d a y in the United States, and President Jourrsox has his full share of the duty. During his triumphanttourhe has been repeatedly called upon to repay the ovatio ns of the populace by one of those animated and plain spoken addresses which the Americans are fond of hearing from their statesmen. His principal speeches were made at New York and at Auburn. At the latter he challenged his accusers to point to a single principle which he had professed at the time of his election and had since failed to maintain. .Remem bering th e ve h emence and rancour of t h e c h arges bro ught against him, th e rec kl ess manner i n w hi c h accusations of perjury and treason have been levelled at his head, this self-assertion was not unnecessary. At Auburn, a 8 at other places, he declared himself your armies, return to your original position in the Government, and we will receive you back with open arms." The South now said that they had accepted the arbitrament of the sword, and it had decided against them; they were willing, therefore, to accept the terms of the North. And now what course could the North pursue ? Mr. JOHNSON boldly said that, for his part, he did not want the Southern States to re-enter the Union degraded and debased. If they were so, they were no longer fit to form part of the great American family. The PRESIDENT, in arguing for the readmission of the South, remarked that when they chose their own constitution they modelled it upon the old system. There was, there fore, no reason to doubt their attachment to the institutions of their country. As for the crime of trying to break up the Government anin tl and dis i s e ol N ve o t r l t l i e i Union, he found there were people equally anxious to do that. For hisunn Union. In he ln was his against them both, and for the opinion the North could not get along without the ' South, or the South without the North. Some per sons contended that if they let the Southern repre sentatives in they would control the Government. Was it likely, he asked, that 58 members could control 208 ? Were they cowards to be daunted by such clamour as this. Those who persisted in the exclusion of Southern members were doing their best to destroy the Go vernment. The country must be really united if they wished to pay the interest on their bonds or to re store the Union to its former strength. New York had a great part to play in this re-union ; and when he looked back and traced its wonderful progress since the days of the first Presidency he could not fear for its future. When Washington was inau gurated the whole expense of the Government was only about a million and a half, whereas the tax for New York alone is now $18,000,000. The Govern ment of that city alone was now mere complicated than the whole Administration was then. It is this rapid growth and extension of the States which make bystanders doubt whether it be possible to maintain one form of government over so vast an expanse of territory and such an increasing population. Mr. JOHNSON, of course, will not admit the doubt. Ile holds fast to the one idea of restoring the Union and reuniting the severed peoples in the links of harmony and fellowship, and no one can deny that he has adopted the only means of doing so. His policy is the only clue out of the maze in which American statesmen find themselves. The North has won a sufficiently decisive triumph to afford to be magnanimous, and a friendly hand stretched out to the South will bring the peoples together, at least for the time. To attempt any thing like a military rule over six millions of people, scattered over so vast an area, would, even if it were possible, necessitate a change iu the American Constitution. It would not be difficult to foresee immensely increased, wou ld the result. The army, become the ruling power in the State, and it would not be long before a popular General would seize the reins of power, and become Dictator, King, or Emperor, as the case might be. From this danger President JOHNSON will, if not thwarted in his efforts, preserve this generation of Americans, and, happily, the people have intelligence and libe rality enough to appreciate his services. The Radi cals lose no means of making him unpop&ar, and have endeavoured to make political capital out of the Fenian excitement. The spirit in which our colonists met the alarm was highly characteristic, and did honour to the old mother:country, which still claims them as her sons. , On March 7th the Ad jutant-General called for 10,000 men, and in less than 24 hours the whole number awaited him, being increased within a very few days to 14,000. A month or two later the Province had 20,000 men under arms ; and the Adjutant-General, in his rep or t to the Governor, is " quite certain" that within 48 hours he could have had 30,000. So much for the actual mustering ; but, to appreciate the sacrifice, we must remember that a young and thinly -populated country has no drone s in the hive, and that to answer the call many In F reonm sacrificed is tt l p w a r a t s g e s of more s t h t a a t n e s d c o a u m b e l e v t o h l e u i n r t e p e a r y s : who had given up l ucrat i ve employments. One gentleman even came from South Carolina, a n d s i xty young me n h as t ened from Chic t a ta g r o y to Toro n t o . Th e spirit o f t h ese intelligence, capacity, and military Canadian Volunteers were fully equal to th e i r patriotism, and the Fenians and New Yorkers, who look with some contempt on the raw recruits, are likely, should the occasion arise, to retract their to o hasty opinion. Much remains to be done in the way of providing stores, equipments, and medical arrangements ; and many of the deficiencies may with advantage be supplied, as the Adjutant sug gests, by the Home Government. Canada has shown that she is willing, nay eager, to defend herself, and that she will provide the most valuable part of the defence—strong arms and stout hearts. England may well assist her in turning these to the best account ; for in the colonists, as in the soil they occupy, there is abundant evidence of undeveloped natural resources of a magnificent character, and to an incalculable extent. The Sanitary Condition of the City has of late enjoyed a large share of public attention, and all that relates to its improvement naturally arrests no tice and attracts interest. • After a recess of six weeks the City Commissioners of Sewers reassembled yesterday, and an unusual number of members was present. Dr. LETIIEBY, the medical officer of health, made a report of the results of the visits which the officers had made to the various houses during the last six weeks. It will show the state of things when we show the E 0 n sequence of all this has been that orders have been, issued for san it a ry improvement, making a total of 1,717 it ems. In addition to the usual sanitary staff of the CRY, 4 cmiderable number of men have been DEATH OF MR. CHARLES MACLAREN.—We re gret to announce the death of Mr. Charles Maclaren, for merly editor of the Scotsman, which took place on Monday morning at his house, Moreland Cottage, Grange. Mr. Maclaren had reached the advanced ago of 84, having been beim in 1782. In the year 1817, when holding a subaltern office in the Customs, he established, in connection with the late Mr. W. Ritchie, the Scotsman newspaper, and acted as its anonymous editor for four or five months. Circum stances rendering it inconvenient for hiu► to appear as edi tor, he relinquished that post to the late Mr. J. R. M'Cul loch, lie resumed it, however, after an interval of two years, and continued to exercise the editorial functions until compelled by ill health to resign them in 1847; still, however, writing occasionally for the paper, when placed under the management of Mr. A. Russell. He was the anther of "A Treatise on the Topography of Troy (182 t)," of which, after visiting the district, he published an im proved and illustrated edition in 1863, under the title of " The Plain of Troy Described." He wrote also " The Geology of Fife and tho Lothians (1839) ;" some articles in the " Encyclopindia Britannica," and contributed many scientific popors to the " Edinburgh Philosephical Jour nal." Mr. Maclaren was a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, of the Geological Society of France, and of the , of London.—Edinburgh courant. A RRIVAL OF VESSELS.—During the present week the Thames, off Gravesend, has exhibited a more than ordinary animated appearance, in consequence of the very large arrival of vessels of various nations, which had been detained for about a week in the Yarmouth Roads by the stormy gales from the W.S.W. THE REPRESENTATION OF FALMOUTH. —The Western Morning News, of this morning, states that the Liberal committee yesterday unanimously selected the name of Mr. Jervoise Smith, of the well-known London banking firm of Smith, Payne, and Co., from a long list of eligible gentlemen, as the most suitable Liberal candidate for the representation of Falmouth and Penryn. Mr. Smith is about 40 years of age, and stands high in the commercial world. A meeting of Liberal electors was held last night at the Penryn Temperance Ifall, when the choice of the committee was submitted for the approval of the party generally. It is understood that General Nortb, who at the last election came forward but did not go to the poll, will be the Conservative candidate. He is expected to ar xiv9 in th 9 joint poryuglo t 9 eight Qr WILLS/row. TIIE SUN, LONDoN, WEDNESoA I' EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1866. daily engaged. The New River and East London Water Companies have afforded a great deal of assistance in the emergency that has arisen from the "compulsory disuse" of the pumps in the City. The labours of the sanitary inspectors have indeed been most arduous, and the results of their visits to the slaughter houses, cowsheds, &c., of the City has been that they condemned 30,000 lbs. of meat as unfit for human food. It is very impor tant that such stringent measures should have been adopted, because the present season is not one which allows of any trifling in matters which bear so intimate a relation to pttblic health and safety, and no doubt had things been left to take their usual course, we should by this time find the rate of mortality much higher than it CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS, is. In some cases Dr. LETHEBY recommended that legal proceedings should be adopted, and mentioned some instances in which fines had been in flicted for exposing " unwholesome food and pu trid birds" for sale in the City markets. No terms can be too strong iu which to con demn those who commit offences of this sort. At any time it would be bad enough, Lut this year it is outrageous that such things should be done. The mortality returns of the City have been a little above the average for the corresponding period of the last ten years during the last six weeks. But although the mortality has been excessive from diarrhoea and such causes, it has not attained to anything like the propor tion in the neighbouring districts. In the eastern parts of London the deaths from cholera and choleraic diarrhoea during the last six weeks have been at the rate of 375 in 100,000 of the population, and in all London the rate has been nearly 100 in 100,000, while in the city it has been only 47 in 100,000 of the in habitants, and the mortality from diarrhoea has been but 14 per 100,000; while in other parts of the metropolis it has ranged from 26 to 61 per 100,000 of the people. Certainly this seems to indicate a favourable condition of the City as compared to other places. In so far as it related to the City, Dr. LETHEBY truly observed that it was a subject of sincere thankfulness that the range of the disease had been confined to so narrow a circle. He did not attempt, as he said, to account for the remarkable differences in the intensity of the disease, but perhaps it may be in consequence of all the care that has been taken. In all probability the precautions adopted in regard to the pumps has had a great deal to do with the low rate of mortality, and it may well serve as an example to other places, both now and hereafter, that they may follow with advantage, both with respect to their own interests and those of the community in general. The old adage of prevention being better than cure may well be cited in respect to these visitations o cholera, for forewarned is forearmed regarding the needful precautions that ought to be taken and carried out with energy. A mistake having arisen as to Mr. CARLYLE being the chairman of the Eyre Defence Committee, Mr. Elm, the Secretary, has published the letter written by that gentleman when he agreed to be come a member of the committee, in order that it may serve as an answer to the numerous commu nications he daily receives from all quarters from those who are under the impression that he is chair man. In this letter Mr. CARLYLE writes very much to the purpose, and expresses himself very strongly as to the clamour raised against Governor EYEF:. Did it rest on any doubt of conviction, instead of being a thing of hearsay and rumour, he should, he says, " consider it of evil omen to the country, and to its highest interests in these times." This is in substance very much what Mr. RUSKIN said the other day when he discoursed upon this topic at the meeting which took place, and we agree with the opinions thus expressed. It would be, indeed, a very sad thing if the course pursued by the faction which has taken up the cry of redressing the wrongs of the negro were to be generally received and adopted throughout the land; but we feel assured that the contrary is the case, and that they form exceptions to the rule. Mr. CARLYLE says that all that has reached him of Mr. EIRE'S history goes to prove that he is a " just, humane, and feeling man ;" that his late services in Jamaica merited our thanks instead of our censure, and that they were of incalculable value---" something like the case of fire' suddenly reported in the ship's pow der-room in mid-ocean, where the moments mean the ages, and life and death hang on your use or misuse of the moments." Perhaps the best solution of this problem of the Jamaica outrage may be found in Mr. CARLYLE'S explanation that the Eng lish nation has not changed, but that superficial portions of it have become a great deal louder, and not any wiser than they formerly used to be. A s a British citizen Mr. CARLYLE deemed it advis able to give his name for the committee, in the hope that many more would do the like, and by wise efforts a " blind and disgraceful act of public injus tice may be prevented, and an egregious folly as well, not to say what a vital detriment throughout the British Empire in such an example set to all the colonies and governors the British Empire has." It is curious to notice the contrast which is presented by the calm manner adopted by the members of this committee to that of the other side. Vituperation and abuse are the weapons in their armoury, and they appeal to nothing but prejudice and rage. From the former we meet with sound sense and able argu ments, as well as the reference to the higher prin ciples of honour and justice which should guide and govern public opinion in all matters of so weighty an import. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. PARIS, Tuesday Evening. The Moniteur says :—" Among the advantages which Austria and Italy will derive from the treaty of Peace negotiated at Vienna will be the exten sion which those Powers propose to give to the treaty of commerce and navigation which has go verned their relations since 1851. In a memoir submitted to General Menabrea, the Austrian Go vernment considers the stipulations of that treaty as the commencement of a future and more complete understanding; for the political and commercial union of the two Statcs." Another striking and remarkable proof of the Emperor's sympathy for his subjects, and his desire to participate in good works, has just been given. The Mayor of St. Cloud has caused placards to be posted up in that town containing a copy of a letter received by him from the Emperor. In this letter the Emperor states that as he does not wish the town of St. Cloud where he resides for a portion of the year to be burthened in consequence of the construction of the Church and other works of public utility, he shall send to the Mayor from the Ist of March next every month 27,516 f. for ten months, in order to reimburse the debts of the commune which amount to 275,160 f. The weather is worse than ever t o -d ay. The early morning was particularly be aut if ul. At six o'clock there was a splendid sunshine and not a cloud to be seen, but before eleven the rain began to fall heavily, and it continued with but little in terruption up to post hour. In spite of adverse weather, however, the arrivals of English and other foreigners aro very numerous, and last night it was difficult to find a lodging in some parts of France. Seldom has there been a greater influx of strangers to Paris than at the present time. Another case of poisoning from supposed mush rooms has taken place at Angers. M. Sansfourche, an eminent architect of that town, died in two days after eating the poisonous vegetable, and several members of his family are considered to be still in danger from the same cause. At the Porchefontaine races, on Sunday, four prizes were contended for. Nemesis won the Prix a Reclamer, I,ooof. M. Lagrange's Normandie was first in the Crieterium, 2 ,000 f., Little second, Thisbe third. Normandie was claimed for 8,500 f. Milton was first in the Course de Hales, I,ooof. Nine horses ran for the steeplechase prize, which was won with difficulty by Elise by a head. The following is the result of the racing rogatta at Pontorse on Sunday :—The Prix de la Marie was Esm woneral da,p C ri a x rp d e e , ia th a e ,en P t r e ix l'E hyu n a i l p il e e r is e z by the b yLa the Piix do Pontorse by Alliance, the Prix de Chateau by Perle Fine, and the Prix de la Ville by Bebe. A letter from Biarritz states that the number of visitors is so considerable that it is very difficult to procure lodgings. Some 30 years ago Biarritz was a little miserable village on the sea, with a few scattered houses here and there. Now it is a hand some and flourishing town. The Empress appears much in public, with scarcely any attendants, and is always received with the utmost respect and cordiality. The young Imperial Prince also walks about the streets with his tutor, M. Monnier, and takes his bath every day at Porte Vieux. Crowds of children with whom he plays give him a shake of the hand. He dresses as a sailor. He is a good swimmer. His favourite game when the tide is rising is the construction of dams to keep off the waves. Sometimes he is seen dragging a large piece of rock for the purpose. Every evening the Empress walks about the Grande Rue. The poor are often invited to the chateau, and the Prince joins in her Majesty's many acts of charity. Her Majesty is generally seated on a chair near the bath while the Prince is bathing. Her Majesty drives a poney chaise with two beautiful poneys. The Prince often meets poor men in his walks ; he always takes off his hat while he speaks to them, and invites them to come and see him at the chateau. Next Sunday there are to be matches with the Rowing Club, on the large lake on the Bois de Boulogne. On the 15th of this month the portion of the rail way which crosses the defiles of the Sierra Morena, in Spain, will be opened for traffic, and from that time there will be a complete and direct railway commu nication between Paris, Madrid, Cordova, Seville, and Cadiz. In a few months Madrid will be in uninterrupted communication by the Badajoz line. The Russian Government has for some years directed its particular attention to the increase of railway communication. St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Warsaw, are now directly connected by railway, and the line may be extended to Eastern Prussia and Berlin by Gambinnen and Thorn. Another central line from north to south will cor nett the capital with Moscow, Orel, Koursk, Sebas topol, and Taganrog, and place it in communication with the gulf of Finland and the Crimea. If Russia cannot at present send her products directly from the Baltic to the Black sea, she can send them to the frontiers of all her neighbours as far as the Niemen The port of Poti is now the site of im portant works, which will make it the principal port of the Black Sea in that direction. In spite of the unfavourable weather the vintage has commenced in the south of France, and the produce of grapes is abundant. The Journal du Loiret complacently says that among the remarkable objects to be sent to the Great Exhibition will be the model of a guillotine upon an improved principle, the advantage (?) of which will be that it can cut off six heads at once ; or, as it is to be worked by steam, the steam can be put up so as to take off eight heads at a time, should such a consummation be desired. The axe, or knife, will not fall vertically, as with the guillotine now in use, but the heads will be severed by a rotary and circular movement. 'The unkindest cut of all in regard to this machine seems to be con tained in the statement that " the inventor is a countryman of M. Bismarck." Another advantage is that, as the machine is on wheels, the steam power may be applied so as to transport the persons who arc to benefit by it with great rapidity from the pri son, and from thence to the cemetery. The Journal des Debuts says : " The astonishing and unforeseen success of the Prussian army in its rapid campaign in Saxony and Bohemia appears to have inspired more than one Government with serious reflections upon the sys tem of military recruiting. Without speaking of France for the present, we learn, from a great many articles in the Vienna journals, that the Austrian Government thinks of introducing vast reforms in the organisation of the army." The Marchioness of Pomeren has just expired, after long suffering. She was the only daughter of the Marquis of Aligne, whose family boasts illustrious ancestors. The marquis used great exertions to pro cure the acquittal of Marshal Ney. The Nouvelle Gazette of Prussia says :—" M. Drouyn de l'Huys was not the enemy, he was the honourable adversary, of Prussia, and the friend of Austria." The Prince and Princess Metternich have arrived at Biarritz on a visit to the Empress. It is known that the Empress is very fond of reading, or rather of having books read to her by her lady reader. The account is correct that, just before her Ma jesty's departure for St. Cloud, she was very much amused with the work of M. Edmond About, " Trente et Quarante," and took particular interest in the exciting adventures of the hero, one Captain Bitterlin. Just before quitting the Emperor, her Majesty is said to have expressed her regret that she had not time to learn the finish of the captain's adventures. Immediately on the arrival of the Em press at Bi arr i tz she received a telegraphic despatch, sent by th e E mperor, which only contained the words, " Captain 13 itterlin is d ea d." There has been a murder in the Rue de Ponthieu, the circumstances of which are similar to those of the murder of the woman for which the murderer was recently executed at Versailles.

AUSTRIA AND ITALY. FLORENCE, SEPT. 12 F The financial negotiations between Austria and Italy are said to be nearly completed at Vienna. The plenipotentiaries are believed to have agreed upon reproducing in the Treaty about to be con cluded the stipulations already inserted in the treaties of Prague and Paris. It is expected that the nego tiations will confine themselves to laying down in the treaty the principle of arrangement, and that the liquidation will be carried into effect by special commissioners without the conclusion of peace being delayed.

FRANCE. PARIS, Sept. 12. An imperial decree has been issued ordering the Customs import duties upon sugar candies in cases and casks to be levied in future according to the net weight. The Moniteur of this morning publishes the fol lowing statistics relative to the late visitation of cholera in Paris :—" The disease broke out in Paris in the early part of July. The greatest number of deaths never exceeded 150 daily. Towards the end of July the violence of the epidemic sensibly di minished, and since Sept. 1 the average number of cases which proved fatal has been 15 daily in the hospitals and 22 daily in the city itself." A letter from St. Petersburg in the Moniteur, dated August 31, gives some interesting details re specting the construction of railways in the empire : —" St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Warsaw are already in communication, and Eastern Prussia and Berlin can be reached by Gumbinnen and Thorn. Further south the Russian line joins that of Cra cow, and communicates with Austrian and Prussian Silesia, and before long the southern line, which goes at present from Odessa to Balta, will run through Bessarabia, the province which adjoins the Danubian Principalities, and effect its junction in Galicia with the Lemberg line. Another central trunk line, from north to south, is intended to con nect the capital, Moscow, Orel, Koursk, Karkew, Nicolaieff, Sebastopol, and Taganrog, and to place the Gulf of Finland in communication with the Crimea. The southern part of this line will fulfil to the east the same object as that of Odessa-Balta on the west, that of conveying to the two principal ports, Taganrog and Odessa, the wheat of the Ukrain, Pultowa, Ekaterinoslaw, Kherson, and Podolia. A branch from the Balta line will doubt less be carried to the north-east, towards the central point of Oriel. In a few weeks the portion from Moscow to Serpoukoff will be opened for public traffic, and Koursk will be reached next year. If Prussia cannot as yet carry her produce unin terruptedly from the Baltic to the Black Sea, she has railways which take it, or will soon do so, to the frontiers of all her neighbours from the Pruth to the Niemen. Other interior and cross-lines, such as those of Riazan and Nijni-Novgorod are of great utility; but none seem more worthy of interest than the two following, intended to form a double communication between the Caspian and Black Seas. The first of these, of which only some twenty leagues are open, is in full activity. It starts from Tzaritziu, an important town on the right bank of the Volga, which falls into the Cas pian, and terminates at Kalatcheff, a town on the left bank of the Don, which runs into the sea of Azoff. The second of these is due to the persever ance of the Grand Duke Michael, Governor-Gene ral of the Caucasus. A railway is to unite the port of Poti, on the Black Sea, to Bakou, on the Cas pian, passing through Kutais and Tiflis, a large part of its course being through the valleys of the Rion and the Kour. For two years six thousand soldiers have been employed on the works, under the direction of Mr. Bailey, au English engineer. Important works are in progress at Poti, which will make it the principal port in that part of the Black Sea, and a steamboat service between there and Constantinople is being organised, as well as a car riage road between Tiflis and Tauris. The mer chandise from Persia and Central Asia will very 1 likely traverse these Russian routes, and it may be foreseen the trans-Caucasian railways will absorb a large portion of the transit between Europe and Asia."

SIR,—Mr. Carlyle, who is not ehairman of the Eyre Defence Committee, but merely a member of it (the chairman not being yet selected, and the com mittee being only in course of formation), has re ceived, and is daily in the habit of receiving, from entire strangers, a quantity of letters, newspaper excerpts, &c., on the subject of " The Eyre Defence Fund," not one of which can he afford to read, much less to answer. In consequence he has per mitted me to publish the following —his prompt and emphatic answer to myself on my first applying to him to join the committee —as his one answer to all such volunteer correspondence from without.—l am, sir, yours, &c., TIAmILTON lILTME, Hon. Sec. Ripple Court, Ringwould, Dover, 23d August, 1866. Sir, —The clamour raised against Governor Eyro appears to me to be disgraceful to the good sense of England ; and if it rested on any depth of conviction, and were not rather (as I always flatter myself it is) a thing of rumour and hearsay, of repetition and reverberation, mostly from the teeth outward, I should consider it of evil omen to the country, and to its highest interests in these times. For my own share, all the light that has yet reached me on Mr. Eyre and his history in the world goes steadily to establish the conclusion that he is a just, humane, and valiant man, faithful to his trusts everywhere, and with no ordinary faculty of. executing them ; that his late services in Jamaica were of great, perhaps of incalculable, value, as certainly they were of perilous and appalling difficulty—something like the case of "Fire," suddenly reported, "in the ship's powder-room' in mid ocean, whore the moments mean the ages, and life and death hang on your use or misuse of the moments; and, in short, that penalty and clamour aro not the thir this governor merits from any of us, but honour and thanks, and wise imitition (I will farther say), should similar emergencies rise, on the great scale or on the small, in whatever we are governing ! The English nation cover loved anarchy ; nor was wont to spend its sympathy on miserabl', mad seditious, espe cially of this inhuman and half-brutish type; but always loved order, and the prompt suppression of seditious ; and reservod its tears for something worthier than pr3moters of such delirious and fatal enterprises who had got their wages for their sad industry. Has the English nation changed, then, altogether ? I flatter myself it ha 3 not, no:, yet quite ; but only that certain loose superficial port'ons of it have become a gicat deal louder, and not any wiser than they formerly used to be. At any rate, though much averse at any time, and at this time in particular, to figure on committees, or run into public noises without call, I do at once, and feel that as a British citizen 1 should, and must nr , ko you welcome to my name :or your committee, and to whatever good it can do you. With the hope only that many other British men, of far more significance in such a matter, will at once or gradually do the like ; and that, in fine, by wise effort and persistence*, a blind and disgraceful act of public injustice may be prevented ; and an egregious folly as well—not to say, for none ca , i say or compute, what a vital detriment throughout the British empire, in such an example sot to all the colonies and governors the British empire has I Farther service, I fear, I am not in a state to promise ; but the whole weight of my conviction and good wishes is with you ; and if other service possible to me do present itself, I shall not want for willingness in case of need. En closed is my mite of contribution to your fund.—l have the honour to be, yours truly, T. CARLY LE. To Hamilton Ilunte, Esq., Hon. See. " Eyre Defence Fund." FATAL ACCIDENT.—ShortIy after 12 o'clock to day considerable sensagon was caused by a report that a serious accident had occurred to some workmen employed at a house in Ivy-bridge-court, which is situated at the rear of the International Journal and Foreign Paper Office, 7G, Strand. Upon inquiry, however, it appeared that there was only one sufferer, a brick-layer, named John Crispin, who was employed at the top of the house in the court, and missing his footing was precipitated to the ground, a distance of about 70 feet. Assistance was inunediately procured, but before he reached Charing-cross hospital life was extinct.

Worcester Musical Festival. WORCESTER, SEPT. 11. The selection of sacred music performed in th e cathedral to-day was varied and attractive. In" deed, the festival could not have opened more aus piciously. Every one was pleased to find the old "Te Deum," composed for George 11., after the battle of Dettingen (1743), restored to its place. Among Handel's various settings of the hymn of St. Ambrose the last is incomparably the finest. There are great bea u ti es i n th e U trec h t " Te D eu m," great beauties in the Chandos " Te Deums," an d sublime beauties in the Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline (1737), which was begun and finished 1 - 1 ithin the space of five days ; but for sustained grandeur, the " Dettin gen" surpasses them all; and this not forget ting the charge so stoutly maintained by some of Handel's editors and critics, that the materials of no small part of it were borrowed from a Bolognese composer of the 17th century, Padre Francisco Una, whose works it wo u ld b e we ll wort h rev i v i n g, if only for the sake of comparison. The solo singers in the " Te Deum" were Madame Patey Whytock, Miss Pullen, Messrs. Cummings and Lewis 'Thomas. Mr. T. Harper played the trumpet part in " The n art the King of Glory," a part composed by Handel for his favourite trumpeter, Valentine Snow, the Harper of his day. But the choruses are the most inspiring parts of the " Dettingen," and their effect in a cathedral is wonderfully striking and impressive. The "Te Deum" was followed by Mendelssohn s melodious and admirable setting of the 55th psalm, " Give ear to my prayer, 0 God" (" Hor' mein Bitten"—written at Berlin in 1844), sung to the English paraphrase by Mr. Bartholomew. Ho w* familiar this beautiful work has been made by the singing of Madame Goidschmidt Lind, and what in tense expression that accomplished lady gave to the last movement (" Oh ! for the wings of a dove"), Is well known. Nothing could better suit the voice of Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, to whom the solo part was allotted on the present occasion. Men delssohn originally composed this psalm for soprano voice, chorus, and organ accompaniment; but lie subsequently scored the organ part for orchestra, and it was of this second version that Mr. Done, conductor of the Worcester Festival, availed him; self. A selection from C os t a ' s ora t or i o, " N aam an, concludes the first part. This, which only sinned on the side of brevity, comprised some of the most attractive pieces in the work, and gave such general satisfaction that the only regret was that Worcester should be denied the privilege of listening to the whole oratorio, a privilege which has already been enjoyed by Manchester, Lichfield, and Liverpool, and is about to be enjoyed by Norwich, at the al ) " proaching festival in October. The selection in cluded the graceful trio, " Haste to Samaria, let us go" (Madame Lemmens-Sherringto n, Madame Sainton-Dolby, and Mr. Cummings) ; the solemn recitative and air " Hear wet Almighty God" (Mr. Santley) ; the recitative , " God be praised" (MadameLemmens); the recita tive and air, " I dreamt I was in heaven" (M a dame Sainton)—one of the mos t w i nn i ng an d gen uine melodies in modern oratori o ; an d l as t , not l eas t, the inspiriting quartet, " H onour an d g l ory, Al m ieity, be Thine" (Mdll e . Titi ens , M a d ame D o lb y, M e ssrs' Cummings and Santley). Had the selection been twice as long, it would have afforded just twice the amount of gratification. The secon d p ar t o f the day's performance w as d evo t e d t o P arts 1 an d 2 o f H a ydn , "Creation," with Mdlle. Titiens, Madame Lemmens" Sherrington, Mcssrs.:Sims Reeves and Santley in th e solo parts. To Mdlle. Titiens was assigned, " Wi th verdure clad;" to Madame Lemmens, " The marvel- lous work," and "0, mighty pens ;" to Mr. Santley, " Rolling with foamingbillows ;" and the descriptive recitatives, to Mr. Sims Reeves, whose return to the Festival of the Three Choirs, after the interval of a year, has given unanimous satisfaction, c 4 'coif vanish" and "In native worth." With such a CO 1 : 11 " bination of solo singers it may readily be belie ve '' that Haydn's still f res h an d t une f u l mus i c wa s Lieo:, in perfection. In the choruses of the " Creation" th e members of the Festival choirs are as much at henl e . as in those of the it Messiah." Mr. Done conducted le performance. In the morning, at half-past 8, there was Diving service in the cathedral, Mr. T. Smith, in the ab sence of Dr. Wesley, organist of G-locester dral, presiding at the organ—a temporary instra meat erected for the occasion by Mr. Nicholson' The chant service was one composed by the e minent absentee ; the anthem, " Praise the Lord, 0 13-1 J„ soul," by Mr. Goss, orga n i s t o f S t. P au l' s C a thedr 3 ' London. The sermon was preached by the Be v " J. WV. Leigh, vicar, of Stoneleigh, who chose fo r his text Chronicles 1, chap. 25, verse 7—" So the number of them, with th e i r b re th ren that we re ; instructed in the songs o f th e L or d, e ven all that were cunning, was t wo h un d re d f ou rscore and eight ;" and cited with great propriety in the pro gress of his disco urse th e verse that iinmediatehY s precedes it, " All th ese were un d er the ba nd of their fath er f or song i n th e h ouse of the 1-4n rd, with cymbals, psalteries, and ha r ps, for the se rvice of the house of God," &c.—a somewhat awkward passage for the consideration of those who insist that oratorios in a cathedral are " a desecration the Holy of Holies." The prospects of this festival look brighter and brighter, not w ithst an di ng th e th r eatening we ather; and it may be safely concluded that it will be the means of doing credit to the charity as well a s to the musical reputation of Worcester.
