An opposition has been got up at the eleventh hour to Lord ELciro, which, it is to he hoped, will prove unsuccessful, for the defeat of the noble lord will be a great loss to the House of Commons. Lord ELcuo made a long speech, in which he fully stated his views on many important subjects, re specting which some misapprehensions had been entertained. He declared that he had been erro neously styled a great anti-Reformer, but nothing was further from the fact. lle had said in his pre vious address that the time had come when " this question should not be kept dangling before the people in the way it had been, but that it should be definitely settled on a firm and secure basis." 'There is no doubt that this is the exact truth now as it was then, and the noble lord showed his dis cernment and discretion in thus expressing himself. In the course of his explanation Lord ELCHO made some remarks which did not meet the views of some of his hearers, and several amusing interrup tions took place. When his lordship declared that . he was in favour of government aristocracy, in stead of " inconsiderate democratic change," there was a general outcry, but the noble lord explained his real meaning by showing them the derivation of the word " aristocracy." It comes from the Greek word " aristos", which means" best," and therefore he waft in favour of the government of the best, but he denied that he meant only the rich by this, because the upper, middle, and lower classes could all come under that denomination. There was great force in some of the arguments met with in this speech, and the discrimination here evidenced contrasts favour ably with the wild extremes into which some rush in the excitement of the hour. Lord ELcuo considers that the best way to deal with the great and all-important question of reform will, be to treat it as minor questions are settled. He proposes that all that is done in the way of Reform should be done after "full inquiry," " that it should be taken out of the domain of party, and that we should get information on the subject through a Royal Commission, so as to enable Government to deal with the question in the most satisfactory manner. Many will disagree with this proposal ; but the noble lord has vindicated his right to be considered a Reformer, and not the bigoted old Tory that some had thought fit to de clare. For many reasons Lord ELCHO is an acqui sition to the House of Commons, and his services to the Volunteer service alone entitle him to the re spect and gratitude of the community. The noble lord is a deep thinker, and such men are required in the House at present, where so many rush to extremes in the pursuance of their various plans and projects. East Kent has become the scene of an animated controversy, Sir NORTON KNATCHBULL having come forward in the Conservative interest. In these days of tame subserviency to Ministerial proposals it is rather refreshing to find a candidate who declares that if they return him, he " shall go to Parliament as the direct opponent of the present Government..” If there had been more to say this, and to have acted upon it, affairs would have been better con ducted at home and abroad than they have been during the last six years. Sir NORTON KNATCII BULL made an amusing speech, in which he ridi culed the course pursued by the Ministers and their friends in taking the merit of all advantageous measures to themselves. Thus, he went on to say, they claimed the benefit of steam communication, railways, improvements in science, the discovery of Australian and Californian gold. It reminded him of the tale of " Puss in Boots," where the cat went on telling the people of the country, " If you don't say that everything belongs to the Marquis of CARABBAS you shall all be chopped into mincemeat." Really this is very much the way in which people go on, and it is just as well for some acute adversary now and then to expose the fallacious system employed. No one can say that the Ministers who now claim the support of the country are popular, with the exception of Lord PALMERSTON, and one of them can boast much, and even he, be it is said, will not long continue his exertions in the foremost place to defend his colleagues and make up for their many deficiencies of divers sorts. Sir B. BRIDGES very properly censured the course pursued by the Government with respect to Den mark In this, as in many other things, Ministers have gained by the time that has elapsed since the occurrences took place. Had the dissolution happened last year they would have come in for several sharp hits, and heard some home truths more profitable than pleasant. Sir B. BRIDGES, in criticising the members of the Government, de clared with truth that Lord PALMERSTON "had a rum team to drive." The noble lord was famed, he said, for supporting his friends, right or wrong, but the pursuance of this plan, as the hon. baronet said, often led him into a defence of jobbery, and "had lately pressed upon a noble and learned lord to retain an office which he had much better have given up." In common with almost all the candi dates of both parties, Sir B. BRIDGES is in favour of an extension of the franchise. The Liberals have waited so long that they have lost this grand card, which they once fondly hoped they could keep exclusively to themselves, and the utmost that they can do is to vary the theme, and make some alterations for themselves. Sir E. DERING did not say much that requires particular attention, some of his friends or supporters had gone beyond him, and he had seen a placard which said, " Vote for DERINd and Universal Suffrage." Now, he stated, this was incorrect, because he did not advocate universal suffrage or anything approaching to it. It really comes to very much the same thing in the end which party is returned so far as Reform is concerned, because there is nearly a unanimity of • opinion on most points ; but, of course, it suits the purpose of some to make the most capital they can out of the affair, and announce themselves as the only true disciples of progress. The community should judge for themselves, and not be deceived by fortuitous circumstances and flattering appearances. A brief correspondence, which passed between Mr. STUART MILL and some of his friends, has just been published, in reference to that gentleman's opinions on the Ballot. In the instance that was especially brought under his notice, the new mem ber for Westminster had undoubtedly reason on his side, but it is a matter of regret that so- advanced a Liberal should rank himself among the acknow ledged opponents of one most substantial reform. Mr. MILL was asked if he approved of the conjunc tion of the Ballot with open voting in districts where a demand was made for it by a large number of tradesmen and persons in a subordinate position. It was shown by the querists that many persons belong ing to thes classes purposely kept their name off the register so as to avoid the inevitable canvassing which might, if they were made, put them in the awkward position of offending one of two influen tial customers. Mr. MIDL'S answer was logical enough, though it was by no means exhaustive. He observes that an optional secrecy would be liable to all objection of the - Ballot without its advantages, since the fact of a hardly pressed elector declaring that he was going to give a secret vote would be accepted by the party demanding his support as evidence that he intended giving it against him. Further, Mr. MILL considers that "the in fluence which is strong enough to induce him to vote against his convictions, would be strong enough to compel him to give his vote openly as long as he had the option of doing so." Mr. MILL seems to form so correct a judgment as to the ex tent and nature of illegal influence that it is only wonderful he should so resolutely oppose a measure so consistent with his character and principles as a Reformer. The arguments against the adoption of secret voting are far more theoretical than practical. We are told that the elector's vote is a public trust, but it is a better way to fulfil a trust to sell it for money, or to yield it to intimidation, than to exer cise it faithfully in secret ? We are told that it is un-English, but, however inconsistent the theore tical character of the British Lion, it is certainly more adapted to secure a fair representation of the people, one of the fundamental principles of the English constitution, than our present system. We do not act on this theory of excessive frankness in every-day life. No one, however little given to falsehood, would care to live in Mdme. de GENUS'S famous Palace of Truth for long together. In fact, the quick-witted Frenchwoman knew very well that such an establishment would prove intolerable, and accordingly the kindest thing that the good genius could do at the denouement was to transform the inconvenient tale. telling Palace into a more discreet and silent dwelling-place. It is undoubtedly true that men should be superior to all personal or family con siderations when the good of the country is at stake ; but, in spite of the declamations of rival candidates, no quiet tradesman or tenant-farmer can suppose that the social system will be much affecte I by his individual vote, so that we need not wonder to find our lower middle classes susceptible of influences to which our statesmen and moralists themselves do not always rise su perior. No one pretends to say that our present mode of conducting elections is imma culate ; no one denies that bribery, corruption, intimidation, and influence play a large part in furnishing the Parliamentary quota. We shall probably find a good many striking illustrations of the defects of our electioneering system in the revelations of the new Parliament ; but gentlemen go on denouncing the theoretical objections to the Ballot as if the evils of the existing plan were merely fanciful or visionary. The matter, however, goes much deeper than that. It is not the question which party shall get the predominance, whether money shall bring in this undivideal, or influence exclude that. The whole tone of our political life is lowered by the dishonest system of electioneering which prevails. It is a prolific source of evils, and no lectures on political morality, or good faith and upright con duct, will be of the slightest service so long as we place men in positions of great temptation without the slightest shield. A prolonged experience has shown that our present arrangements are most faulty. Why, then, not make the experiment which has for years worked successfully in the clubs with out our upper ten thousand being designated as cowardly," or " un-English ?" It is the fear that the ballot will succeed too well in securing the inde pendence of voters that makes all parties shrink from it. This secret Mr. M ILL w ill di scover b e f ore very long. The Federal authorities at "Washington are them selves suffering from the suddenness and violence of the reaction. With some millions of famished and impoverished people, black and white, thrown upon their hands, with anarchy reigning triumphant throughout large districts, and life and property spared by the law, sacrificed by the robber or the incendiary, with the fertile fields and granaries of the South still bearing traces of the ruthless course of the victorious Northern armies ; with the whole line of SHERMAN'S march marked with ruin and de solation, the coveted supremacy has not brought them very substantial blessings. The task which they have assumed is diffitult and dangerous, but j they have brought it upon thenmelva, and while I THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVEN they have a right to claim all forbearance and mode ration in judging their proceedings, they cannot deny that the almost superhuman task of recon structing the shattered Union, harmonizing the dis cordant elements, and restoring peace, content, and prosperity to the broken trade and impoverished possessions of the embittered Southerners, has not been imposed upon them, but voluntarily assumed. To do the Washington Govern ment justice, they appear to be making every effort to avert the horrors of famine and pestilence from the afflicted Southern States, but unhappily they have fearful difficulties to con tend against from the desolation created by their own generals. The. first fever of vengeance is passing away, and President JOHNSON is said to be disinclined to extreme measures. The long delay of President DAVIS'S trial gives cause to hope that the Washington Government will not so abuse their power, will not so disgrace themselves and their country, as to bring him to an ignominious death. The four principal prisoners condemned by the Military Commission have already expiated their errors with their lives, while three others have been I sentenced to perpetual imprisonment, if Mrs. SURRATT had been placed in the latter category instead of the former, it would have been more creditable to the finders. President JOHNSON'S health gives rise to some uneasiness, and the retire ment of Mr. SEWARD is looked for. Change and disturbance are still busy in the troubled country, and we fear that both parties are only now begin ning to count the cost of the cruel and fratricidal war. LITERATURE, Diamonds and Precious Stones. By H. Emanuel, F.R.G.S. One Vol., pp. 266. J. C. Hotten. The Princess of the Fairy Tale might have writ tent this lovely book about "Diamonds and Precious Stones." Every sentence, so to speak, has a chromatic glitter about it—a glitter as of the pouring out of the radiant treasures of a lapidary. We turn the leaves in a manner dazzled by the glory of these gems of price, having, the while, a delicious sense, as though we were dabbling our hands (up to the wrists) our arms (up to the elbows) in some such brimming chest of jewels as the one dis covered with such marvellous ingenuity by the hero of Edgar Poe's wonderful story of " The Golden Beetle !" The author of the book before us fairly sets his reader's mouth watering, as if in emulation of the Diamonds of purest water about which he writes himself with so genuine a gusto ! The very title-page is a something delicious. A page, it is, of the heavenliest, velvetty, cerulean blue—gemmed, in the centre of it, with the effigy of a gigantic and lustrous Opal giving forth, in the glistening sheen of it, hints of all the colours of the rainbow—an oval opal, surrounded by a filagree of golden setting. That—just by way of foretaste! But the book itself—with its abounding store of jewels, and of everything relating to jewels and jewelry !To enjoy it—at its utmost—we would fain read its contents, luxuriously, to the tune, let us say, of the jewel-song of Goethe's heroine in Gounod's lyrical version of the love-tale of " Faust and Marguerite !" 0 the delectable book ! This book now under notice, with its re- freshing showers, cascades, cataracts, hail-storms, of all the Precious Stones known, more or less familiarly, to the ancient and the modern lapi dary ! Precious Stones which arc here set forth singly and in sprinkles, with due regard paid to their relative hardness, to their distinctive colouring, to their powers of refraction, to their specific gra vity, to their electrical properties, to their fusibility, 'to their diapheneity ! Diamonds of every size, shape, weight, value, lucidity, magnificence ! Diamonds of great antiquity, of historical re nown, of world-wide reputation. Brilliants and Rose Diamonds. The Shah and the Saucy—the Piggott and the Braganza—the Regent or Pitt Diamond, and the enormous Koh-i-noor ! And besides that empe ror of all the Precious Stones, the Diamond (for the most part colourless)--Jewels of every varying hue ! The faint, liquid blue of the Sapphire. The delicate lilac of the Amethyst. The grass-green of the oriental Emerald. The blood-red Ruby. The darker and yet ruddier Garnet. The gor geous yellow of the Topaz. The celestial blue of the Torquoise. The streaked richness of the Onyx. The dappled verdure of the Lapis Lazuli. And—added to all these—jasper, and agate, and amber, and jet, and coral—opal and bloodstone—car nelion and carbuncle—jacinth and cinnamon—beryl and chrysolite—jade and moonstone—sardonyx and tourmaline—felspar, and quartz, and cairngorm, and malachite ! A truly delicious book it is, this volume about "Diamonds and Precious Stones," and one for the production of which we have to thank Mr. EMMANUEL, the author, and Mr. HorrEfi, his pub lisher, each of whom has done his part in regard to this volume—to our fancy, at least—to perfection. Procuring it—is, for all the world, very much like buckling on to one's shoulders a pair of patent wings (ever so much better than those contrived by the philosopher in Rasselas) and, by a throb or two of these said wings, taking a flight down into Sinbad's Valley of Diamonds. Nay, it is more even than that—it is like putting one's finger, as Aladdin put his, into the ring -handle of the ponderous stone trap - door in the Chinese wil derness, and lifting that door up to reveal the staircase beneath it, and descending that stair case, and emerging at the foot of it into the subterranean garden the orchard-trees of which were laden ripely at every bough, at every minutest twig, with ruby, and opal, and emerald, and diamond, and turquoise, and topaz, and amethyst, and all the other precious stones already particularised. A glorious book this is in simple truth—a book in which Harry Emanuel has done for " Gems," what Henry Bradbury had achieved in his for " Ferns," and Eugene Rimmel in his for " Perfumes." With this difference only, that as Dia monds and Precious Stones are when compared with Ferns and Perfumes, so are the rarer records here set down by this later and now ambitious compiler, as contrasted with those of his two ingenious contemporaries, the botanist, and the perfumer. Ending pretty nearly where we began, we would here remark once more at the risk of repetition that the words dropped one by one upon his page from the pen of the author of this charming volume are very much like those that fell—with kindred sparkle, and colour, and splendour—from the lips of the Arabian Princess. The borough elections which have just terminated have been sadly adverse to naval reformers. Sir John Hay and Sir James Elphinstone have failed to per suade their former constituencies to send them back to Parliament, while Rear-Admiral George Elliot, who re signed a lucrative appointment to contest Chatham, has been defeated by the Government candidate. Lord Clarence Paget has, however, secured his seat at Sand wich by a considerable majority, so has Mr. Laird, who, irrespective of party, has worked well during his career in Parliament, to forward the interests of all connected with the navy.—Army and Navy Gazette. GOETIIE'S HOUSE AT FRANKFORT.—Tourists who pass Frankfort should not omit to visit Goethe's House, the restoration of which, at the hands of the " Froies Deutsches Hochstift," is nearly complete. The front of the house, which had been badly disfigured, has entirely regained its former aspect, by the removal of the shop doors and attic windows, and by the restoration of the six front windows, exactly after the old model. The hall of the house has received back its former spaciousness and clearness, by the removal of the wall of the northern front room on the ground-floor, which had been crammed into the house-floor, making it narrow and dark. Now the visitor has again at once before him the magnificent stair case, and receives the impression of a comfortable, luxu rious roominess, as the house presented in the days of Herr Rath. Tho old arrangement of the rooms on the ground floor, especially the dwelling-rooms, the kitchen of Frau Rath, and the store-room, become so famous through Welhelm Meister, is now exactly tho same as it was origi nally. Tho alterations which had taken place in course of time did not affect tho plan of the house materially, and were easily removed, leaving the house in its old condi tion. A room which had beon added to the first-floor, projecting into the handsome front-place, darkening it and the shops as well, has been taken away ; the front-place is now open and clear, and has been paved neatly with white and red flags, making it look exactly as in the time when the King's lieutenant used it as a reception-room. The upper floors have been cleared by their tenants since the b eg i nn in g of spring, and are uoly also accessible. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (RE U TXR'S TELEGRAMS.)

BOURSE, July 15.—The buoyancy of the market has exhibited no symptoms of relaxation to-day, and yesterday's improvement in quotations has been generally well maintained. The shares of the Cr&lit Mobilier continue particularly to attract the attention of speculators, and a further advance of 14f. 50c. has taken place since the opening —the present quotation being 757 f. This rapid and con siderable augmentation Is to be attributed to the Company's having undertaken the emission of the City of Paris Loan, to the amount of 250 millions, which is to be issued in 600,000 bonds of 450 f. each, bearing interest at the rate of 20f. per annum, with 1,140,000 f. to be drawn quarterly—giving 285,000 f. at each drawing. The payments are to be made in nine terms—from the 31st inst. to the 31st October, 1869. French Three per Cents. are firm at 67f. 75c., and Italian Loan at 65f. 15c.

" THE OBSERVER" on the Ministerial side a l'autrance declares in a burst of exaggerated exultation that —The most careful and critical analysis we can make of the result gives a clear gain of 15 seats on the balance to the Liberal side of the house. The gains to the Minister in England and Wales were nine. Strangely enough these numbers have been increased within the last two days by the gain of five borough seats in Ireland, and one county in Scotland. Looking at what has still to be done in the counties of England, of Scotland, and of Ireland, we have no doubt that the Liberals will gain 20 seats—if not more —making 40 votes on the balance. When these 40 are added to the 20—in round numbers—recorded in the great trial of strength last year, the Government will meet Parlia ment with a good working majority of 60. "THE SATURDAY REVIEW," with a little more dis passionate moderation, remarks that—The English borough elections have given the Government an increased majo rity, and that there will be little alteration in the counties. In Scotland there will be comparatively few changes or contests, and the only remaining doubt relates to Ireland. On the whole, it is nearly certain that the new Parliament will display only personal traces of the dissolution which separates the ensuing session from the last. As long as the Government retains its present form, it will not be worth the'while of the Opposition to make any struggle for office ; but in the probable event of Mr. Gladstone's accession to the post of First Minister before another ge neral election, political changes may perhaps produce new party combinations. " THE EXAMINER" even more moderate in its tone, obser4es—We like victory, but we do not like crying victory before the rout of the enemy is beyond dispute. Napoleon said that the moment of victory was the most dangerous in war, for then it was that false confidence came into play and committed its errors. We hold, then, to the maxim respite finens, but having at the same time no doubt what that end will be. At present there are the usual ups and downs—success here, against which is to be set off defeat elsewhere ; but generally this is to be ob served, that the gains are in large constituencies having some opinions and will of their own, while the losses are in places under the influences and subject to dictation There is no rule without exception. Liverpool has just given up its representation to the Tories, and discarded its one Liberal member, Mr. Ewart. The " LONDON REVIEW" remarks very sensibly—The borough elections are now all but over ; the county elec tions aro just commencing. Yet, though this stage has been as yet, to determine with accuracy print statements which in some cases are palpably wrong, and which are daily e, not even on a subsequent day corrected. The summaries. thereached, results. it is im impossible, The ssibl Papers and party lists differ widely, and the discrepancy is not confined to the assertions of opposing parties. The Herald, of course, is jubilant ; the Times, supporting the Ministry, is triumphant ; yet the testimony of the other organs of each party does not agree with that of either of them. We must wait for the calmer and more accurate judgment of another week ere any precise assertion can be ventured. But even at present there are indications that the opinions we have expressed on the prospects of the Liberal party will be realised. " Thowever, with confidence that—The SPhenEeCTWAHTt" asserts,eeofComons will be the old one a little reinvigorated. The elections are not yet over, but this much may be said to be known from the results already declared : the Liberal Government will gain somewhat in the number and very greatly in the quality of its consis tent supporters. Despite most unusual slaughter, which includes three subordinate members of her Majesty's Go vernment, Mr. Peel, Colonel Luke White, and Lord Bury, and extraordinary changes of personnel, the total result in the boroughs has been a gain of seven for Lord Palmerston, giving with his majority in the last Parliament a working majority of 27. This is exclusive of changes in the coun ties, which in Ireland especially will be considerable, and may be relied on, we think, to yield at least seven more Whigs, making a total gain in divisions of at least 28 votes, a number amply sufficient to change a weak Government into a strong one, and to enable one like that of Lord Pal merston to depart from its policy of inaction. "TIER STANDARD" goes the length this morning of assert ing that--The result of the English borough elections has boon favourable to the Conservative party! It loses nominally three or four seats, but the seats were occupied by luke warm friends who were little better than open enemies, and the verdiot of election committees will put the balance of gain decidedly on its side. In Ireland, however, the Government has been more successful. Mr. Gladstone's pronunciamento against the Irish Church, the Ministerial support of the Oaths Bill, and the concession with respect to the Catholic University, seem to have once again cajoled the Roman Catholics to the service of the party which has so often betrayed them. [Not a word, here, it will be observed, on the part of our Conservative contemporary, last quoted, about Lord Derby's unlucky speech as to " muzzling " the " dogs ! " To which inopportune fling of the Ex-Premier's against the Catholics — far more than to all the reasons, above enumerated, put together—the Conservative Loss of seats in Ire land may, we feel certain, be quite surely attri buted.—Ed. SUN.] GIUGLINI'S BENEFIT.—On Wednesday morning a grand concert for the benefit of this great artiste and most unhappy man will be given at Her Majesty's Theatre, when all who love musio and pity irreparable misfortune will not fail to be present. At this concert a preghiera, with chorus accompaniment; written expressly for the occasion by Signor Arditi, will be sung, the solo parts by Mdlle. Tietjcns. THE FIRE, WHICH OCCURRED AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM on Monday last broke out in the binders' workshops, in which a number of books and manuscripts were under repair ; among others, the Anglo-Saxon ma nuscript known as Pope Gregory the Great's "Pastorale." This very important MS. was given by Alfred the Great to Plogmund, Archbishop of Canterbury. Every one will be grieved to hear that it was destroyed by the fire. Several other manuscripts were injured, but not, it is to bo hoped, beyond the power of repair. WHOLESALE POISONING OF FISH.—The fish in the River Brid, at Bridport, in Dorsetshire, have been poisoned by the refuse of some chemical works being poured into the river. Dozens of dead trout have been seen float ing on tho surface of the water. THE FRENCH EDITION OF THE WORKS OF EDGAR ALLAN PoE is now complete. Tho work of translation has been done by M.

The prince and princess are ex pected to remain for two days the guests of the noble earl at his beautiful family seat. The noble earl left town on Friday to see that the proper preparations were carried out for the reception of the prince and princess. 0 wing to the recent confinement of the countess she will be unable to attend to meet the prince and princess. The Duke of Northumberland, who left town on Wednesday to travel by easy stages to Alnwick Castle, arrived at the ancient baronial seat of the Percies in Northumberland, on Friday last, for the first time since succeeding to the dukedom. Tho duke was most cordially welcomed by the tenantry to the number of some hun dreds. Tho local rifle volunteers received the duke at the rail way station, and escorted his grace to the castle. The Duke of Richmond will leave town at the end of the present wook for Goodwood House, Sussex, whore his grace will, as usual, reeoive a distinguished party during tho races, which commence on the 25th inst.

The amount of cotton in the South is still puzzl ing our statisticians. A correspondent of the lVinns bore' (North Carolina) News makes the following estimate : Baton'. Crop of 1861 ~. 3 000 000 Crop of 1862 ~. 1,000,000 , Crop of 1863 500,000 Crop of 1864 ... 500,000 • 5,000,000 From which deduct:— Bales. Exports during the war ... 1,900,000 Home consumption during war 1,500,000 Destroyed during war 1,000,000 Damaged and worthless cotton 500,000 4,000,000 Surplus on hand .„ Crop of 1865 ... ... ... ~. 1,000,000 350,000 The cotton supply is, therefore, ... ~. 1,350,000 The writer divides it among the various States as follows : Old Crop in Hand. Present Crop Louisiana 1( 0,000 50,000 Mississippi 200,000 75,000 Texas ... 100,000 ~. 75000 Alabama ~. 250,000 50,000 Florida ... 10,000 10,000 Georgia 200,000 50,000 South Carolina 130,000 30,000 North Carolina and Ten nessee ... 10,000 ". 10,000 Totals ... ... 1,000,000 350,000 In the North the consumption of cotton has averaged about 300,000 bales for each year during the war. We have other estimates of the amount of cotton in the South. The New Orleans Price Current,gives a high authority, the opinions of " many well-informed parties on both sides of the Mississippi" upon the subject. That journal con siders that the amount available and unavailable now in the South does not exceed 1,700,000 bales, and that the crop of 1865 cannot possibly go beyond 500,000 bales, and even this amount will depend upon the nature of the season later on. The Duke of Somerset and the rest of the Lords of the Admiralty left Portsmouth on Friday, and arrived at Dartmouth yesterday. They will proceed to Plymouth this (Monday) afternoon, and probably arrive there ou Wednesday. The Prince and Princess of Wales will proceed this afternoon in the Osborne Royal yacht from Cowes.

THE MURDER AT ISLEWORTH.—On Saturday the unfortunate man Daniel Dosset, who is supposed to have first murdered his wife at Isleworth and then to have cut his throat with a razor, was yet alive, though in an emaciated condition. A month has elapsed since the dread ful occurrence, and during that time he has remained under the care of Dr. Mackinlay, at the Isleworth Union house. At present the only nourishment that he can re ceive is administered by injection, and by those means he has been kept alive till the present time. To preserve the flowers of a nosegay let a goo spoonful of charcoal powder be added to the water, and the flowers will last as long as they would on the plant without any need of changing the water or taking any trouble at all.
