LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1865, Mr. RAIKES has made his speech at Chester, in rivalry of Mr. GLADSTONE'S celebrated harangue. He said very truly that there was a similarity be tween the speeches of Mr. W. 11. GLADsToNE and his father. There was some truth in the remarks made by Mr. RAIKES respecting the credit which some politicians assume to themselves concerning the adoption of free trade. Those who so eagerly applaud themselves had not really anything mate rially to do with it, but only followed the lead of those more sapient and far-seeing than themselves. Besides, at this date, it is quite absurd to be always setting up the ghost of Protection, like the skeleton at the Egyptian feasts, to forward the cause of election candidates. Mr. RAIKES naturally felt rather irritated at the interference of Mr. GLADSTONE in this election, and he quoted an anecdote which was very appropriate to illustrate his meaning as to the propriety of a Cabinet Minister mixing up in election tactics. The other day the friends of one of the candidates for Westminster asked Mr. GLADSTONE, and through his secretary he informed them that, as a member of her Majesty's Govern ment, he could not interfere in any election. Mr. RAIKES has had the advantage of a reply to his for midable opponent, and retorted on the latter's strictures on the observation of there being no Government in England. He said that it would require more than all the combined eloquence of the whole official pack to satisfy them that " the function of a Government is to sit with folded hands, and to entrust the duty of directing public opinion and the task of initiating national legislation to a little knot of Par liamentary irregulars, who might be called the Baslii-Bazouks of Liberalism." Certaintly the do nothing policy of our present administrators is a strong point for their opponents to take hold of, and it cannot be said that any change of a material nature has taken place in our home legislation during the period of Lord PALMERSTON'S tenure of office. Mr. RAIKEs admitted the modesty of Mr. GLADSTONE in ignoring his own claims to be one of the leading Ministers of the Crown, and in giving all the honours to Lords PAL3IERSTON and RUSSELL. Yet here again the speaker's memory adduced a very awkward circumstance concerning Mr. GLAD STONE'S antecedents in politics. Same years ago there was a general election when Lord PAL MERSTON was Premier, and the orator who then exposed the fallacies of the noble lord's proceedings was no other than the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. As for Earl RUSSELL Mr. RAIKES acknowledged his merits, but truly added- that his great achievements of past days were carried -out in the teeth of the party Mr. GLADSTONE then belonged to ; and he added there could be no more melanchDly thing in the decline of years " than that the great Reform Minister should become the subordinate of a subordinate, and that the man who stood to PEEL should live to be patronised by GLADSTONE." As for the French Treaty Mr. RAIKEs awarded it moderate praise, but lie brought forward some proofs of its failure. All knew what the papermakers thought of it, and what effect it had produced upon th e C oventry aii ,j SpitalfL‘bl'3 weavers, and in the neighbouring ty..-t,-ns of Macclesfield and Congleton. Finally, Mr. PA TEE; Made an amusing allusion to the pertinacity of Mr. GL A DSTONE'S predilection for this work, an d said that great men were always fondest of their 1 most unpopular productions. 4 , MILTON preferred Paradise Regained' to Paradise Lost ;' and the Chancellor of the Exchequer probably prefers his French Treaty because it was the first thing he did after he had regained the paradise of Downing street." On the whole, Mr. EAMES seems to have made an entertaining speech, in which lie made many good hits at the enemy without losing his temper, and without indulging in those per sonalities which afterwards reflect 80 much dis- N*t credit u p o n those engaged in e l e ctioneering anat- rseeds of discord and misrule deserve to reap the ters a nd mar the effect of their elaborate Pais,- harvest of vanity and vexation of spirit, and it will , I be no matter of regret to honest folks when they do so to the uttermost extent. ;ourses. The Bombay Mail, which brings us intelligen , re up to the middle of May, does not give us anythii ig very startling in the way of news. The tidings of LINCOLN'S death, and the probable termination of; the American war, had indeed somewhat disturbed. 1 the cotton growers, but there seemed to be good reason to hope that Indian cotton would keep its hold for some time to come, owing to the thorough disorganisation of the American sources of supply- There have been some changes in official quart ars, but the general system of policy remains unchanged, and all parties seem anxious to encourage filose reforms :of internal legislation -which a re at present so desirable for India. The public health, unfortunately, continues to be very unsatisfactory, the last weekly return ist Bombay showing an excess of more than six hundred over the mean of the last ten years. Cholera is also prevailing in several parts of the country, and in Gwalior there has been so much mortality from an epidemic fever that the Maharajah has ordered the perpetual performance of religious ceremonies, with the view of checking the disease. If we are to accept the version of the 7 ribune, New York paper of some standing, we may thank the Americans for teaching us an entirely new doctrine. In accordance with their national 'cute ness and go-a-head qualities, it not only leaves Christianity and modern civilisation far behind, but entirely outstrips the theories of the ancients. According to the Tribune, the Attorney-General has decided that the Amnesty Proclamation was a means to secure the suppression of the rebellion. The rebellion being over, the amnesty is void. The confiscation decrees are in full force, and the exer cise of executive clemency cannot extend to the future. It is hardly to be credited that at the present day any man of recognised position should disgrace himself and his country by such a doctrine ; and before we condemn him we must have further confir mation, but it is a little startling that the statement should have found its way to the most temperate and respectable of the journals. If the North is going to deny its own acts, and to confess to such a despicable meanness as holding out a promise which it did not mean to perform, there is an end of all public faith and public honour. The words and promises of American statesmen will henceforth be worse than useless—their fair speeches will be regarded as mere baits, and their solemn pledges as ingenious impositions. No honourable nation would willingly submit to such degradation ; but the re cent acts of the Federal Government give some colour to the suspicion. If the arrest of Gen. LEE is really determined upon, it will be as great a breach of faith as the disavowal of the amnesty ; but no Govern ment can long pursue such a course with impunity. Diplomacy and intrigue may be synonymous ; courtly words may often mask cruel or treacherous intentions ; bnt the prompt denial of its own pro mises, when once the object is gained, is an experi ment which no Government in existence could safely venture upon. The withdrawal of belligerent rights from the Confederates by Earl RUSSELL comes at rather an unfortunate juncture, but, as we have said, we prefer to hope that so disgraceful a trick will scarcely be tolerated by the Yankees themselves, however unscrupulous or implacable may be their ordinary policy. The question of health naturally recals attention to the fatal march from Mhow, about which there has been considerable excitement. The general state of the public health may, we think, be re garded both as an extenuation and as an aggra vation of the error. There appears to be on all hands an increased liability to fever and cholera, which may serve in some degree to explain the sudden outbreak of sickness among the troops ; but, on the other hand, this fact ought to have made the authorities more guarded in ordering any unnecessary marches. Cholera, it is said, was known to exist along the route, and the authorities at Mhow took care to inform those at head-quarters of this fact, so that they must be held blameless. It is difficult to understand, however, why the detachment was suffered to leave Mhow without proper medical assistance and medicines in case of illness. The epidemic, when it broke out, was so severe and so sudden that at one time it was feared that very few would be saved. All the party were more or less affected, and the result was twenty-six deaths out of one hundred and twenty persons. had not discretionary powers been given to the general commanding at Mhow, which enabled him to give the order for the return, there is no doubt but that the party would have been decimated. Naturally the alarm and anxiety produced the most dangerous ally to epidemic ; sickness, depression of spirits, and the increased labour put upon the able-bodied by the illness of their companion was so exhausting under the tre mendous heat that it rendered them easy victims. We can hardly fancy a more trying position than that of this little troop alone in the wilds, struggling against their terrible visitor, exhausted with heat, depressed with fear and anxiety. At Burwai, where they halted, the men were placed in some large buildings belonging to the ironworks of the place, to avoid the oppressive heat of the tents —a part of the works which was detached from the rest being set aside as a temporary hospital. Dur ing that terrible night, however, the admissions into the hospital and the deaths were so numerous that the next morning the men who were still in health were moved under a tope of trees. On this day three men, one child, and two camp followers died. The women and children were sent off to a village at some distance, and the troops followed during the night, arriving at daybreak. But here the attacks grew more numerous than ever, seven Consecration of Archbishop Manning. rHE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVI4_,AING, JUNE 7, 186. Projected Railway in Venetia. gentleman is now at Asharada anxiously awaiting the decision of the Persian Government. The telegraph line now in the joint hands of the English and Persians is working well, and through messages are now being received from England for India, and vice versa. The continued exertions of Capt. Smith, the new director of telegraphs in Persia, and Major Chain pain, have frustrated the efforts of the Eelcaut tribes between Shiraz and Pushire, who have for some time past been cutting the line, tearing up the posts, and breaking the insulators. The Governors of Fars and Khusistan have received orders from the Shah to inflict summary punishment on the offenders. Kaffa Khan has also been sent on the same errand. The Messrs. Stanley, now directors of the Impe rial Arsenal, by their united efforts, and with the assistance of Junghis Khan, the Director-General, are making vast improvements in this establishment. They have constructed a factory, and ordered a large quantity of machinery from England. The smelting of iron ore, hitherto one of the greatest industrial difficulties encountered by the Persians, has now been successfully accomplished, and it is hoped that in a short time the process will be as easily carried on as in Europe. Shortly after the Queen's birthday the British Legation will return to Gulhelk for the summer, and all persons of rank are now moving daily to Shaneran, and the villages in the vicinity of the Elbuz Moun tains, distant about nine miles. • It is understood that the races will be run some time during this month, in which event one of the Shah's horses is sure to win, as those of no other competitor are allowed to do so when his Majesty's are in the field. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) MILAN, June 3. The Gazetta di Milano says :—" The admirable project of a railway from Cremona to Mantua meets, as was to be expected, with many serious obstacles on the part of the Austrian military autho rities, who are always very jealous about their fortresses. They wish the company undertaking the railway to bind itself to extend the line as far as Segnano, in order to thus create a communication between Mantua, Verona, and Perchiera, the other angle of the quadrilateral enclosure. Supposing, however, that the line is to terminate at Mantua, they will not hear of granting permission for the station on the Te, nor the semi-cir cular loop round the fortress by the heights of San Giorgio ; but they demand a bridge upon the upper lake, in order to connect it direct with the station of San Antonio. In both cases the construction would be too expensive. It is to be feared that the only object of all these claims is to delay, discourage, and frustrate all at tempts at an undertaking which the Austrian mili tary authorities regard with no great favour. And, indeed, in the opinion of the Austrians, it would be a great evil for the province of Mantua, and parti cularly for the city itself, if, by means of this rail way, it should be enabled to shake off a little of that prostration in which it now lies." The Anglo-Austrian Commercial Inquiry. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) VIENNA, June 3. men and three children died, and the whole detach ment suffered from diarrhcea. The officer in command upon this wisely resolved to avail himself of the discretionary powers given him, and gave the order to return, which was no sooner issued than the men's spirits rose. But there was still a long march to be gone through, and several more deaths occurred before the full tragedy was complete, and the detachment reached Hursora, three miles from Mhow, where preparations had been made for their reception. And now comes the question, who was to blame for this needless and profitless suffering? The officer in command seems to have done all in his power, and has obtained high praise for his energy and courage under most trying and anxious circumstances. But those who issued the order for a march through a district where cholera was known to be present during the exces sive heat cannot certainly be held blameless. If our experience in India has taught us nothing else, it has taught us the danger of exposing men to great exertions during the extreme heat, and every officer who issues the order for unnecessary marches during the hot season, under unfavourable condi tions, must be regarded criminally regardless of the health and efficiency of his troops. The march from Mhow has pointed this moral with painful emphasis, but we hope it will not be without profit, and that the valuable lives that have been wasted will stimulate the public to demand a full and fair in quiry into the originators of this mournful catas trophe. Austria cannot be said to show much discernmen in the matter of Schleswig-Holstein, and it must strike the attentive observer that a little more firm ness and decision would effect greater things and terminate the affair more speedily and satisfactorily. IVe hear of notes passing to and fro between the two great German Powers, of ambassadors being sent on special missions, and friendly and private communications, and of more hostile demands of a public nature. All seems to end in the acquiescence of the Vienna statesmen to the desires of the Berlin politicians, and again the affair is temporarily arranged and some slow progress is made. Yet the Austrian Government, in yielding to the repeated requests of Prussia concerning the convocation of the Schleswig-Holstein estates that were con stituted in the year 1854, Count MENSDORFF in his despatch makes a sort of protest, and takes very good care to give the blame to his allies in case any discredit should hereafter attach itself to the authors of the transaction. He writes that the Imperial Government does not hold itself re sponsible for its results. We may form some very pertinent conclusions as to the freedom which is to be enjoyed by those happy individuals who are to come under the jurisdiction of the Germanic States. It is asserted in a letter. from Berlin that when the Emperor and King meet at Carlsbad they will take counsel together concerning many important matters, and among other things will " agree on the measures to be taken for keeping the elect of the people within due bounds." No doubt much will be concerted at that meeting which will bode ill to freedom and produce disastrous results to the cause of progression in the kingdoms which are under the rule of these Sovereigns. A more melancholy instance of the mischief that is occasioned by the greed of strong Governments, and the vanity of people who should know better, cannot be afforded than in the present condition of Schleswig-Holstein, and in the general aspect of affairs in the political horizon of Austria and Prussia. The end is not yet apparent, but it may eventually turn out that the imperial and royal con spirators are disappointed of their fury and baulked of their expectations. They who have sowed the The following particulars in regard to the cere mony of consecration, which is to take place to-morrow, at St. Mary's, Moorfields, when Arch bishop Manning is to be solemnly enthroned as Cardinal Wiseman's successor, will be read, we doubt not, with interest : The Catholic Church always associates her most solemn rites, including the blessing and consecration of churches and altars, and the various degrees and orders of ecclesiastical persons, with the "sacrifice of the New Law," or, as it is called, the " mass." Accordingly the ritual for the consecration of a bishop is, as it were, inserted in the service of the mass, which, on this occasion, is jointly celebrated and offered by the chief consecrating bishop and by the elect, as the bishop to be consecrated is called. The service begins by the reading of the letters apostolic directing the consecration to proceed, which is done by the Rev. Edgar Canon Estcourt, notary of Dr. Ulla thorn°, the consecrating bishop. The elect archbishop meanwhile sits before the consecrator, having two assistant bishops, Dr. Turner, of Salford, and Dr. Grant, of Southwark, on either side. On this follows .the examen, a series of interrogations on his faith in the Holy Trinity and the Incarna tion, the Scriptures, and the authority of the Church, to interpret them, to which the elect replies. A its conclusion the mass begins, and continues in the usual form till the Sequence (a hymn on this occasion of the Holy Ghost, owing to its being Whitsun week) be tween the Epistle and Gospel ; with the exception that the elect says this first part of the mass at a side altar, to which ho retires with the assistant bishops and chaplains, Lte. The consecrator is now seated in front of the altar again, and calls on all to unite in prayer for the elect ; the archbishop elect prostrates himself on the steps of the altar, while the greater litanies are sung and responded to. In the course of them the consecrator rises from his knees, and three times intones a solemn suffrage and blessing over the archbishop elect. The litanies ended a special pre face is sung, and the Book of the Gospels is laid on the shoulders of the elect. The hymn "Veni Creator Spiritus" is then sung, and during it the consecrator anoints with the "chrism" the head and then the hands of the elect, while the psalm " Ecce, quam bonum" and its appropriate antiphon is sung. He then proceeds to deliver with appropriate exhorta tions the crozier (more properly the pastoral staff) and the ring into the hands of the elect, and similarly the Book of the Gospels, which is now removed from his shoulders. After this the elect returns to his altar, and the consecrator to his, and the mass continues with the Gospel, the sermon, and the creed. At the offertory the elect presents to the consecrator the accustomed offerings of two large wax candles, two loaves, and two barrels of wine, the whole gilt and silvered, and bearing the arms both of the consecrator and the elect. The elect now comes to the altar of the consecrator, and together they recite the words of the canon, offering, conse crating, and communicating from the same host and the same chalice. The mass proceeds to its conclusion, and after the benediction given by the consecrator, ho confers the mitre and episcopal gloves on the elect. This done the consecra tor and the senior assistant bishop enthrone the new arch bishop on his throne,who, mitred, and crosier in hand, sits on his throne, while the hymn "Te Doum" is intoned by the consecrator, who, with all the other bishops, stands uncovered. The archbishop then, during the "Te Deum," proceeds down the church attended by the assistant bishops, and gives his blessing right and left to all present, and returns again to sit on his throne. The "Te Deem" ended, the consecrator intones the antiphon " Timetur manus tea," and the prayer for the archbishop. This done the archbishop rises, and gives his solemn benediction in the accustomed way, with the assistance of the three senior canons and the archiepiscopal cross held before him. He then descends from his throne and goes to the Epistle side of the altar, and there, kneeling three times, salutes the conse crator with "Ad multos annos" (" For many years"), and receives from him the kiss of peace. The usual final Gospel (St. John i. 6) is said as they return to the sacristy. The tribune on the left-hand side of the altar will be re served for the ambassadors, and the three other tribunes are for the friends of, and those invited by, the archbishop. The mass by Palestrina. GENERAL GnArrr IN PHILADELPHIA.—The friends of General Grant in Philadelphia have presented him with a new house, completely furnished. Tho arrival of the General with his family last week was characteristic of the man. He made special request of the committee of presentation that there should be no reception or public announcement of his coming, and so careful were the gentle men of the committee of the General's wishes, that outside of their own number not 20 persons in the city knew of his coming till he landed at Walnut-street-wharf. The Gene ral's staff for this peace movement consisted of his wife and three children, and maid, and Lieut.-Colonel Parker, an Indian, who has accompanied General Grant since the beginning of his Mississippi campaign. Before a crowd could gather the party were welcomed within the doors of 2,009 Chestnut-street by the committee of presentation and a few ladies from their families. George H. Stuart, chair man of the committee, in a brief greeting that touched- all hearts by its allusions to the General's bright career, and the nation's joy and love, presented the deed and the keys of the house. The General's response was more brief still, and he broke down with emotion in the attempt to express gratitude for so generous a recognition of humble service for the country. After introduction to the house in all its apartments the family were invited upstairs to a collation spread by the ladies. It was a generous dinner on temper ance principles, enjoyed all the more for the prayer of thanksgiving and blessing in which the company were led by Mr. Stuart. The house is one of a block of brick, with brown stone dressing, on Chestnut-street, above pretension, and eminently adapted for service. It cost, with the furniture, not far from $50,000. The citizens of Phila delphia have-reasons for congratulation for the timely move which secured this sum, and by it the life residence of the Lieutenant-General in the city of brotherly love.—Boston Congregationalist. THE IRON TRADE OF THE NORTH.—It is stated that Messrs. Palmer Brothers' immense iron and shipbuilding establishment at Jarrow, on the Tyne, has passed into the hand of a limited liability company, with a capital of £2,000,000. The shares are said to be £5,000 each, and have all been taken up without having come into the market. They have been taken by eight gentlemen, of whom Mr. C. M. Palmer is one. In addition to their shares in the company it is reported that Messrs. Palmer will receive £250,000 for the property and works. The purchase has been made by the same company of Man chester gentlemen who a short time ago bought the equally large works of Messrs. Bolckow and Vaughan, at Mid dlesborough, which has also been incorporated into a limited liability company. -- mss.► L As supplement to the list of questions drawn up by the sub-committee upon the subject of raw iron, may be added, that the examination of exports is to be continued, and manufacturers in all the Austrian provinces are to be consulted as to what further in quiries should be made. Several days, however, will still pass before the preliminary labours are concluded. The first committee, which was charged with selecting those items of the tariff which yield little duty, and proposing resolutions to the commis sion for their reduction or abolition, is pretty far advanced with its task. Ithas made itself acquainted with the expense of levying the duties, has divided the articles into certain categories, and has then turned its attention to the considera tion of smuggling, as the idea necessarily rose that the deficiency in revenue was a consequence of illicit traffic. The following questions were therefore forwarded to several customs officials, chambers of commerce, and all the frontier districts, with the request for a speedy settlement of opinion : 1. How large is the quantity of smuggled goods, (a) according to official evidence, (b) according to your individual opinion ? 2. Across which frontier of the monarchy is smuggling carried on with certain goods ? In what way, by what means of transport ? 3. What are the original countries of the smuggled goods ? 4. What proportion do the smuggled goods bear to those on which duty is paid, (a) according to the quantities actually stopped, (b) according to your individual opinion? 5. What is the cost of smuggling ? State the same as percentage upon the value of the goods and upon the amount of the duty. 6. Does the cost of smuggling vary according to the difference of frontier, and notably according to the strength and distribution of the guard? The third sub-committee, charged with drawing up the rights of intercourse, has finished the first portion of its labours. A request has been addressed to the English Crown lawyers and the Imperial Ministry of Justice to furnish the Commission with brief summarised statements of Austrian and Eng lish law bearing upon this subject. These are to comprise the law of trade-marks and patterns, of patent right, and of literary copyright as applied both to natives and foreigners. The true state of the law is also to be laid down as to the publication of legal documents, the evidence of experts in mer cantile business, and it validity in another State, and as to the capability of conveying valid legal judgments into execution in both countries. The law as to share-companies is also to be discussed, their relation to the courts at their formation, dur ing existence, and upon being wound up. The questions will be examined—whether the naturali sation of the founders and the directors is requisite. Whether share-companies of one country are autho rised to trade as such in another, to carry on busi ness, and appear before the courts ? Upon what conditions this may be done ? And whether regu lations upon the subject at present exist? A MARKET-CROSS DIVORCE.—A woman, 40 years of age, the wife of a pitman named Hind march, to whom she had been married 17 years, eloped with a young man lodger, named James Hume, from Cramlington, on Saturday last, taking with her some £6 or £7 of her husband's money. The husband, touched in his tenderest place (the pocket), pursued the couple to Newcastle, where, by the aid of the police, he was able to confront them on Sunday morning at the central railway station on their way to America. The police asked the injured husband if he meant to enter a charge against the delinquents, but he replied that if Hume and he could agree about'the price of his wife ho would not prosecute. Hume, who had some £7O in his possession, offered £5, but tho other said, " Aw'll take siven." The woman, pro bably with the view of affecting the bidding; told her husband, " Had away, man, aw wan nowt mair to dee wi' ye." After some further haggling, Humo consented to give the £7, and the woman was knocked down to him at that figure. All parties went on their way rejoicing at the results of this rough and ready divorce, so unlike, in this and other respects, those over which Sir James Wilde presides. THE RIVERS AND LOCHS OF PERTHSHIRE.—The sport on the lochs of late has been pretty good. Lord Breadalbano has fished successfully on Loch Tay, and on the Earn, &c., good baskets of trout have been made. Within the last fortnight angling on the River Earn and the Almond has scarcely been so productive as might have been expected from the state of the water and the stock of fish. A few anglers, however, have done well. His Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Sing has arrived at Loch Kennard Lodge for the season, and it is expected that he will devote his time till shooting commences to the lochs and streams.—Scotsnutn. THE HAY HARVEST.--The hay harvest has already commenced in Monmouthshire, and several of the leading farmers have commenced cutting. This is unusually early for applying the scythe, but the remarkably favourable weather for the last two months so stimulated vegetation that the grass and hay crops are considerably in advance of what they generally are at this period of the year. The hay already gathered has averaged 21 to 3 tons per acre, which is a good yield, and if the weather continues mode rately favourable for the next few weeks it is expected that the high prices which at present prevail will soon be ma terially reduced.

For instance, the letting-out of chairs produces, on the boulevards, 18,476 f. ; in the Champs-Elysdes, 12,000 f. ; in the Bois de Boulogne, 3,000 f. ; and the Bois de Vincennes, 500 f. ;—in all 34,976 f. The Omnibus Company pays 1,062,000 f. for the right of standing in the streets, and the Imperial Cab Company, 1,277,500 f. The punch and judy shows, gingerbread stalls, goat-chaises, swings, &c., in the Champs-Elysdes produce a total of 2,972 f. " Whilst Listz," says the llienestrel, " is preparing at Rome for the higher ecclesiastical orders, Thal berg is becoming a vine grower at Naples, on his estate at Pausilippe. He is there planting and cul tivating with his own hands the vineyard left to him by Lablache." _ A sum of 3,000 fr. has just been paid into the Treasury as a restitution to the State, made through an ecclesiastic of the diocese of Paris. A Toulon letter says :--‘, The steam frigate of the second class, Memis, which is to carry the flag of Vice-Admiral Baron Didelot, was lately got ready for sea and placed in the roadstead in 48 hours. This is one of the most rapid proceedings ever known in such a case." The Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres has just placed at the disposal of Orientalists all the manuscripts in the Cambodian language sent to France by Rear-Admiralde la Grandiere, Governor of Cochin-China. The Paris Savings Bank received, during the fortnight ending the sth inst., deposits amounting to 556,729 fr., and reimbursed the sum of 717,502 fr. The amount paid into the Caisse des Retraites for the aged during the same period was 85,666 fr.

The Patriotic Electoral Committee of Francavilla Fontana has issued the following manifesto, adopted in its sitting of the 14th May, 1865 "1. That the Patriotic Electoral Society of Francavilla Fontana will always be partisans of the plebiscitum and Italy. " 2. That they will, therefore, be always opposed to any reconciliation with the priests,the chief enemies of Italy, and will defend the plebiscitum in every legal way, until not only Rome become the capital of Italy, but also until the very last fraction of Italian soil be redeemed from the hands of the alien. "3. That they will advocate at a n y cos t th e abolition of all kinds of religious corporations with out exception, and they will always agitate until they see their object realised. "4. That the same society rather than see the enemies of Italy protected and multiplied, will com pletely oppose the disastrous return of the bishops to their sees, and will advocate their entire suppres sion, for the religious, political, and financial sta bility of the nation, viz., "5. That, as enemies of prerogative andpromoters of equality and civilization, they are forced to cen sure the Senate for exempting the clergy from the conscription, and for not erasing capital punishment from the penal code. " 6, and lastly, that; in conjunction with all the liberal societies of Italy, they will be opposed to the Governments, if, in order to bring about a recon ciliation with the priests of Rome, they deviate even by a hairsbreadth from the plebiscitum, or from the supreme interests of the country." (Here follow the signatures of the committee.) PERSIA. TEHERAN, May 6. Since the deposition of Ferrukh Khan, the former Ambassador to Paris, who was lately disgraced, and had been obliged to leave Teheran for Kashan, his native place, a new Prime Minister has been ap pointed, Mahmoud Khan Kajar, a chief of the upper branch of the Kajar tribe—of the lower bi a,nch of which the Shah is chief. He was formerly Minister of War, and Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in the South of Persia, during the English invasion in 1856 and 1857 ; he also recently headed the successful expedition against the Turcomans. Ferrukh Khan was offered the Government of Sta shan, but declined it, and his son has been named to the post. Both started yesterday for that place. To-day being the Ayd-Courban, which answers to the Bukkri-Ayd of India; is kept in commemo ration of Abraham offering up Isaac. On this occasion the custom universally prevails of slaughter ing sheep, all the Europeans and Persians of rank being expected to make a present of a sheep to their servants. There is also a camel offered up on this festival, but the origin of this latter custom is not certainly known. Six men have lately been seized, supposed to be the murderers of Mr. Langfield, the English travel ler, who was murdered some months ago near Rescht. Four hundred tomans (about £200) were found on them, together with pistols and guns, supposed to belong to their victim and his servant. They are at present kept in confinement at Tabreez pending their trial, The brother of the murdered Railway Collision. (REUTER'S TELEGRAPH.) PLYMOUTH, JUNE 7. This morning the arrival of the mail train from London to this town was delayed five hours in consequence of a double collision which took place last night on the Great Western Railway just above Bristol. It appears that the mail train and a pas senger train collided, and an excursion train after wards ran into the mail train. Four persons were seriously injured, but none of them, it is believed, fatally. One of them has been brought into Plymouth. Gold of the Far West. The British Consul at San Francisco reports that the receipts of gold and silver at that city in 1864 from the interior of that State vnd from Nevada ter ritory amounted to £9,092,100, without reckoning considerable amounts brought by private hands, and not passing through channels affording means of collecting correct statistical information. In conse quence of the unsettled state of affairs on the other side of the Rocky Mountains a considerable quan tity of gold reached San Francisco from the eastern part of Idaho that would otherwise have been sent eastward. The exports of treasure from San Fran cisco in the year amounted to £11,141,450, a larger amount than in any year since 1853. Of this quan tity £6,887,300 went to England. Gold mining was - on- the whole very successful in California last year. The scanty supply of water stopped all de scriptions of mining in many parts of the State, but owing to the attention now given to quartz mining the yield was beyond the average of recent years. With the improved machinery and rigid economy, rock yielding 28s. to 40s. per ton can be worked to advantage where there is a good average width of vein ; and till class of ore is so abundant as to preclude the idea of any diminution in the precious products of the State for a very long time to come. Some of the mines which have yielded comparatively poor rock, but in large quantities, have given to the owners enormous results ; and, contrary to the theory of many scientific men, the greater depth the mines have been worked, in many instances, the richer has the ore proved. In some parts of the country, where formerly mines were abandoned as worked out when the green stone was reached at a depth of 100 to 150 feet, the work has been resumed and the hard green stone cut through at a vast ex pense of labour, to find underneath the vein to be as rich, or richer, and more regular than near the surface. In Amador county several mines are down at 500 and 600, and one 900 feet. The Gould and Curry mine paid monthly dividends throughout the year, varying, indeed, in amount, but at present (March, 1865) £l5 per foot. The gross product of this mine has been £979,600, and the dividends declared £280,000. The mania for the formation of mining companies wont to such a rate in the spring of last year that persons versed in the his tory of speculation perceived that a crisis must soon arrive. Over 3,000 companies were incorpo rated. The enormous amount of the calls drained the resources of the stockholders, and a slight cause only was wanting to produce a reaction, which, in fact, in May was brought on by a report that the large body of ore in the leading mine of Nevada territory was worked out. A panic soon arose. The shares in the Gould and Curry mine, which fetched £l,OOO per foot in January, had fallen to £220 in September. But towards the close of the year confidence was in some measure restored, and the price of the leading shares was nearer to their fair value. The receipt of gold and silver from the interior, being nearly £1,000,000 in excess of any previous year since 1850, shows that the money ex pended in developing mines was by no means wholly thrown away, and its material benefits will be shown in a continued increase of the precious metals. In 1864 the United States' branch mint in San Fran cisco coined gold and silver of the value of $16,323,186. The arrivals of immigrants at San Francisco in 1864 exceeded the departures by about 10,000. The value of merchandise that passed through British hands is estimated at between £2,000,000 and £3,000,000. Speech Day at Eton College. The annual delivery of speeches, together with the ac customed festivities for nearly a century, have been asso ciated with the 4th of June, the biithday of his late Ma jesty George the Third, took place yesterday (Tuesday), in consequence of the 4th of June falling on Sunday. On this occasion there was the usual large assemblage of nobility and gentry, chiefly friends of the boys now at Eton, and many old Etonians, who still strive to keep up the traditions connected with this time-honoured day. The speeches commenced at half-past 11 o'clock in the upper school, before the Rev. Dr. Goodford (provost), the Rev. Edward Balston (head master), Rev. Edward Durn ford (lower master), Rev. J. Wilder, Rev. E. Coleridge, Rev. Bishop Chapman, and Rev. Wm. A. Carter, fellows of the college, the conducts, and assistant masters. The raised gallery at the upper endof the school-room was completely filled with the aristocracy and other distinguished visitors. As soon as the college dignitaries had taken their seats the recitations at once commenced, and were delivered in the following order:— Phelps, K.S Juvenal. Dugdale Marcus Andronicus.... Shakspere. Seymour T acitus. Symonds, K.S. Launce Shakspere. Pound, K.S Speed Shakspere. Owen Virginius Macaulay. Muirhead, K.S Pro Milone Cicero. Milner, ma S ganarelle Ferguson, ma. Pancrace Moliere. Hoare, ma. Ajax So phocles. Radcliffe, max., K. 5... Enoch Arden Tennyson. Harris, K.S. King Henry V Shakspere. Everard, K.S Lee, ma. Galcotti Walter, ma King Louis XI Sir W. Scott. Mossop Tales out of School ... Pmed. Durnford, K.S SirLucius O'Trigger,.. Sheridan. Buckland Mr. Acres Kennedy, K.S. On Reform Macaulay. All the speakers displayed a powerful degree of elocu tion, particularly Owen in " Virginius," Walter ma. as King Louis XI., and Hoare ma. as Ajax. The delivery of the speeches occupied an hour and a half, at the termination of which most of the visitors pre sent proceeded to the college chapel and the fine old hall, which has recently undergone extensive embellishments at the sole expense of the Rev. J. Wilder, one of the Fellows. Most of the company were afterwards liberally enter tained at the masters' houses. At half-past six the com pany Vroceeded to the Brocas, where the crews manned their boats, and started to " Old Surly" in the following order, accompanied by the band of the Ist Life Guards : UPPER BOATS. Monarch, ten-oar, J. Mossop, captain of the boats. Victory, eight-oar, Mewton, second captain. Prince of Wales, S. IL Cockran, captain. Britannia, J. Blake Humfrey, captain. Dreadnought, C. 11. Palairct, captain. Thetis, E. L. Corrie, captain. St. George, T. D. C. Belgrave, captain. Defiance, E. Hall, captain. The College eight, Wood (captain), A. Tindal, Willis, Huddlestone, Yomens, ,Smille, Pound, Goldin, Everard— Rowlins, coxswain. On arriving at Surly Hall the gallant crews partook of an elegant al fresco repast, arranged in a meadow under tents, by Layton Brothers, the number of late year's being reduced from upwards of 300 to 100, the smaller boys of the fifth division not being allowed to partake of this entertainment. The crews returned to Windsor shortly before 9 o'clock, when they rowed several times round the eyot in presence of numerous spectators, during a brilliant display of fire works by Madame Coton. The day was remarkably fine, and Eton has not been visited by so numerous an aristocratic assemblage, particu larly of the fair sex, since the days of Montem. SUICIDE OF A CAPTAIN'S WIFE.—Mrs. Kerr, the wife of a merchant captain, residing at Poplar Grove, tho Elms, near Liverpool, during the delirium caused by typhus fever, throw herself from the bedroom window on Sunday night and was killed. Her nurse was absent from tho room at the time. The deceased was 26 years of age. PAUPERISM.--The Poor Law Board have issued their return for the quarter ending at Lady-day, 1865. It shows that the paupers in receipt of relief in Eng land at the end of the quarter were 2.23 per cent. fewer than at the corresponding period in 1864, and compared with 1863 the decease was 911 per cent. Substantially, the whole decrease in the past year has been in the north western division—Lancashire and Cheshire ; in that divi sion the number of paupers at the end of March, 1865, was 19.10 per cent. less than in March, 1864, and the 245,527 persons who were in receipt of relief from the poor rates at the end of March, 1863, had diminished to 136,866. In the metropolis the paupers at the end of March, 1865, were more by 5.12 per cent. than in March, 1864, and more by 7.75 per cent. than in March, 1863. Cherubini's opera of " Medea" was produced for the first time in England at Her Majesty's Theatre last night, with a cast and mise en scene sufficient to insure the brilliant success which it achieved. Th e , orchestra, under the able guid ance o f it s t a lented conductor, rendered the difficult and magni ficent music in a style beyond all praise. Th e choruses were perfect to a d egree seldom, i: ever, before attained ; and all the artistes exerted their powers to the utmost. Of Madlle. Titiens it would be impossible to speak in terms of adequat e admiration. She is not only a now unequalled singer, but a great and accomplished actress ; an d while her powers as a vocalist may bear comparison with those of Grisi, in the plenitude of her force, her merits as a tragedienne place her at leas t in an equal rank with Ristori. The impression made upon the house by this great artiste, partial' larly in the third act, was profound ; the applause which followed was rapturous; and we may fairly congratulate Mdlle. Titiens on having added another triumph to the many she has already Won' Every one is acquainted with the argument of this opera—but it is necessary to have seen and heard Mdlle. Titiens to comprehend the extraordinary interest she can excite fo r so inhuman a heroine, to whose character, revolting in the highest degree, she yet lends majesty and pathos indescribable. We only hope that the manager will be rewarded for the enorrnoll expense he muss have incurred in placing " Med ea so brilliantly before the British public by a long and successful run. a The principal characters were called at the en— each act to receive their due meed of applause, an the son and grandson of Cherubini, who, - wo were present, must have been delighted with the splendid reception accorded to their ancestor's g reat work, by the distinguished audience which fill ed her Majesty's Theatre to witness its first represen tation. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean's Farewell t° Baltimore. (From the Baltimore Daily Gazette) Holiday-street Theatre was cro w d e d by a in t fashionable and enthusiastic audience to wele olll . - back Mr. and Mrs. Kean for a few nights to a e ll where their talents and virtues have endeared the: to a large circle of friends and admirers. The pi B selected for their reappearance were "Henry and " The Jealous Wife"—giving these great arta!'" an opportunity of showing their wonderful versatill of talent. The Cardinal Wolsey and Queen Kathar l . ll of Mr. and Mrs. Kean are grand historical portr ait ' true to life, and fully justified the loud and raptu r° „, applause with which they were received. There i ; a unanimous call before the curtain, and ever,' ',sit monstration which an audience could make to teat 7 its respect and admiration for these popular fay ° t rites was shown forth. The " Jealous Wife" t il e , the audience home with aching sides, frora ‘ r o, mirth and laughter provoked by Mr. and It° 10' Kean's brilliant impersonations of Mr. an- A e d Oakley. To-night " Louis XI." will be perforin —Mr. Kean's greatest character. As this englgo ment is only for five nights, we strongly advoe.ng, play-goers to " stand not upon the order of O rra , but' to go at once," to witness the farewell per i° antes of the greatest artistes of the day.
