LT PT Ig tz,l LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 18, 1866. The Imperial Circular will naturally be the chief object of attention in all political circles to-day, and yet it cannot be said to contain anything new, and is more a commentary on recent events than any thing else. Still it is something that no more is said, and many will, doubtless, rejoice at the apparent certainty of peace which it presents. The Circular is of considerable length, and is written in that emphatic style and impressive language which gene rally characterises all State documents in France. It is sent to the representative s of the EMPEROR in foreign countries, and is evidently intended to put a stop to those rumours which have lately been afloat, and which have created so m uc h dismay and confusion as to the probability of France going to war. M. LAXALLETTE has executed his difficult task with considerable adroitness, and contrived to make it understood that France has nothing to fear from the increase of power in Prussia. how long she will remain on good terms with that arrogant and offensive Power is quite another ques tion ; but meanwhile the EMPEROR'S Minister for Foreign Affairs hastens to assure those who are accredited at foreign courts that there is no cause for apprehending a termination of the present peace ful state of things. He states that in presence of the considerable changes that have taken place in Germany all States must ask themselves what will be the influence of this late peace upon European order, and upon the international frontier of each lower? It is then to allay the anxiety naturally created iu France at this juncture that this com munication has been made, and no pains are spared to make out a plain statement. The lexity of feeling at ho me has spread abroad, and perp hence the necessity of an explanation. The Treaties of 1815 have never been popular in France, and it is not, therefore, surprising that satisfaction should have been experienced at their being destroyed; b u t , on the other hand, the cause that has led to their de struction is in itself a source of arrogance, namely, the aggrandisement of Prussia to so considerable an extent. According to the definition here given there is nothing for France to dread or to regret in the late extensive alterations that have taken place, but how long this colour de rose aspect will continue it is, of course, difficult to de termine ; however, for the present, no doubt it will answer the end designed, and restore tran quillity at home and abroad. We do not agree with much that appears in this remarkable circular, especially those passages which refer to the absorp tion of so many small States. It is said "an irre sistible Power—can it be regretted?—impels peoples to unite themselves in great masses, by causing the disappearance of minor States ?" This might do in point of argument if the theory were put into prac tice with more effect, but what becomes of the grand notion of German unity if there is to be merely one dictating Power, and all others are to be subservient to its behests ? No doubt had the proper time been selected and the right measures used, we should find that many advantages accrued from the combination of many of the small States into one ; but then there should be no Berlin intel ligence and no BISMARCK to predominate in the matter. All chance of free expression is denied to those places which halm been lately annexed ; and where can we found a just expectation that they will thrive and flourish under such adverse auspices as those which now surround themy The truth is that Germany has gone back instead of going for ward, as some have supposed, by the late changes ; and it seems difficult to understand how people can deceive themselves into belief that progress has been made. The rules laid down by the Marquis in this despatch are very good ; but we may well ask, does Prussia recognise their justice or act upon their in spiration ? " Political science should rise above the narrow and paltry prejudices of a passage; the. EMPEROR does not believe that the greatness of one country depends upon the weakening of neighbour ing peoples, and see no real balance of power save in the satisfied wishes of the nations of Europe." Now this is true in every acceptation of the term, but who in the name of consistency can declare that it is realised by Prussian tactics of late, or that the policy which rules triumphantly at Berlin can be called either comprehensive or national? It is in all respects, and in all ways, both direct and indirect, exclusive and selfish to the last degree, and exhibits more of the spirit of old days of benighted igno rance and tyrannical scheming than it shows any indication of the higher and nobler characteristics of more modern and improved times in the history of the world. The EMPEROR, it is here said, was right in accepting the part of " mediator," and his role has not been devoid of glory, but he has put a stop to useless bloodshed, and moderated the victor. Of this latter statement we do not entertain a doubt, for it was only the fear of France that restrained Prussia from crushing Austria altogether. So far as we can judge there is much to be grateful to the French EmrEuort for in his recent attitude during the war in Germany. It would have been, indeed, more satisfactory if he could have contrived to check Prussia more effectually in her ruthless course, but then we must admit that the chief blame rested with our own country. Had the late Admi- nistration exhibited more firmness, and declared that they disapproved of the course pursued by the allied German Powers towards Denmark, Europe would now be in a very different position, and there would be none of that dread of approach ing war which now militates against so many im provements, and inflicting such injury on many in terests. The EMPEROR, we learn, " would have mis taken his responsibility if he had rushed suddenly into all the risks of a great war, one of those wars which revive the hatred of races, and in which entire nations are engaged." Territorial aggrandisement is not to be regarded as the object of French policy, but the lesson to be learned from the late war must not be forgotten. It is necessary that the military organisation of France should.be perfected without delay. In this last intimation alone do we perceive any acknowledgment on the part of the Marquis that the present sunshine of prosperity and peace may give place to the stories of war and fear of strife. The Imperial circular is admirably drawn u p , hut- u o rt.s.fird if 3112 ft tom i ncu-fary and ..t a islet- ing programme of the movements of the French Government, and while it may very likely allay the apprehensions that exist in various quarters, it can not possibly do away with the very unfavourable impression that has been made upon the national mind of France by the recent transactions of Prussia. The progress of President JOHNSON through the States continues to excite the most opposite feelings. Enthusiasm in his favour is the predominant senti ment, and in some places where the Radicals have endeavoured openly to insult him the force of popu lar feeling has carried all before it. The:reception which Mr. JOHNSON met with in Philadelphia was most enthusiastic, although the authorities of the city took no part in it. In Albany the State Senate had convened an extraordinary session, not, how ever, for the purpose of welcoming their illustrious visitor, but quite the contrary. These gentlemen had the politeness and good taste to order the doors of the State capital to be locked, so that Mr. JOHN SON was forced to address the people from the portico of the building. But although in his jour ney through Illinois, more especially, Mr. JOHNSON was frequently insulted by Radical crowds assem bled at the railway stations, no offensive demonstra tion occurred at Chicago, where there had been some anticipations of a riot. On the contrary, the reception given to the PRESIDENT was most enthu siastic, and his tour has been hitherto a decided success, exceeding the most sanguine anticipa tions. The Radical journals, who would probably be not very sorry to see their prognostications realised, have been hinting about assassination and indulging in alarming warnings. The PRESIDENT, however, has taken them for what they are worth, and has gone on his way very composedly. The presence of General GRANT in the PRESIDENT'S cortege has occasioned nn little wonder and dis pleasure among the Radical party. He was be lieved to be one of the pillars of the party, and his secession is looked upon with great indig nation. Another notable political conversion has just taken place. Mr. WARD BEECHER has de clared himself on the side of the PRESIDENT. This is a remarkable change, since he has hitherto been the constant associate and colleagu e of Mr. GREELEY, who does not hesitate in the shock of his friend's recantation to denounce Mr. BEECIIER'S course as " apostacy so base, so black, so hateful, and so hideous," " betraying GOD'S poor, and shaming the honourable record of past years." These are some of the amenities of American political life to which our colder temperaments are unaccus tomed. A further sample of the language and policy in favour with the Abolitionists, or New Englanders, may be obtained from a speech deli vered by Parson BROWNLOW at the Radical Con vention at Philadelphia. This worthy does not scruple to declare that he wishes for the extermina tion of the Sauthern people, and to secure this end is eager to see the negroes rightly educated. Should a fresh outbreak occur in the South—and he may well calculate upon such a result from the Radical measures—he would like, he says, to apportion the forces of the Union. The first division should kgiolliregularly armed and equipped, " and do the The second division should be armed with pine torches, and g , do the bur nizg." The third division is to be supplied with sur reyors, compasses, and chains, and sell the land to pay the expenses of the war, and then settle it wi men who will honour the Union banner. This is: ;no exaggeration, but an actual transcript of thee linguage used openly by Radical leaders at tlisi it boasted Con- vention. Men like BROWNLOW and BUTLER may be expected to advocate anything, but WENDELL PHILLIPS himself recommends the disfranchise ment of all Confederates, and the division of all Southern lands among the negroes. What can any reasonable man expect such a policy to end in ? We may easily infer from these specimens that the language levelled at the PRESIDENT is not remark able for its moderation. A favourite epithet of Philadelphia has been " the man made President by WILKES BOOTH." " Traitor," " rebel," " mur derer," are in continual use ; and it is no wonder, considering the character and temper of the Radical leaders, that words should fail them in abusing . the man who has completely defeated their schemes. Instead of depopulating the Southern States, and dividing the lands among the Northern Republicans, instead of endeavouring to excite an other war, which should be a war of extermination, and lead most probably to the total disruption of American power, ANDREW JOHNSON has addressed himself in earnest to that task of reunion which every one loudly upholds, but which so many really endeavour to retard. Thanks to the general intel ligence and education of the people, the country at large has fully recognised this, and the consequence has been that, in spite of all plots, and intrigues, and local spite, the progress of the PRESIDENT through the States has been a triumphant ovation. The petty insults which senates and municipalities have offered to their illustrious visitor, have only served to show more clearly that it is the real feeling of the people which is displayed in the public receptions of the PRESI DENT and his associates, not a mere matter of form, a welcome to order. The Radicals are straining every nerve to hold their ground in the next election, and are casting off every member whom they suspect of moderate tendencies. Mr. RAYMOND, formerly chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, has been expelled by the members for his adhesion to the JOHNSON party. The Philadelphia Convention has issued its address, denouncing the PRESIDENT, and declaring that his policy has wrought the most deplorable consequences, " morally, socially, and politically," throughout the South. There was, however, a disagreement among the doctors who are to set the New World to rights. Negro suffrage was the difficulty, seve ral members of the Convention repudiating it. However, a report in its favour was adopted before the adjournment of the Convention. Fenianism is again busy, fresh rumours of rein vading Canada being current. Our troops will, however, be there before them, and may very likely settle the whole question by giving the conspirators a reception they are not prepared for. IDE SUN, EOlsroN, TUESDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER IS, 1866. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The Moniteur states that private despatches from Vienna announce the arrival in that city of Baron de IVerther, the Representative of Prussia, at the Austrian Government. They appear to be satisfied at Vienna with the appointment of this diplomatist, whose conciliatory spirit inaugurates the resumption of the diplomatic relations between the Courts of Vienna and Berlin. The Siecle contains an elaborate article upon foreign politics, and examines closely the relative position of Prussia and Austria. Referring to Elec toral Hesse, it says :—The Electorate of Hesse is often confounded with Hesse Darmstadt. It is to the latter that belongs our ancient department of Mont Tonnerre, and its chief town Mazene. Elec toral Ilesse, now annexed to Prussia, formerly played a considerable part in foreign diplomacy. She was for a long time the Switzerland of Ger many, like her furnishing soldiers for all the world. She particularly furnished them to England during Itci war with ..A.DI Ori OA i and the paytnnt of nearly 100 millions, which the Landgrave Frederic 11. re ceived for the supply, laid the foundation of the great financial fortune of the Princes of Hesse. " The Hessians then were the best troops of Ger many. They distinguished themselves in the wars of the Empire ; and William IX., who was the first to assume the title of Elector of Hesse, under the name of William 1., thought proper to solicit, in 1815, from the Congress of Vienna, the title of King, like his colleague of Bavaria. He did not obtain it, and his deep resentment at the refusal has been manifested on many occasions by all the Princes of his family. The Duchy of Nassau, which also disappears, had for its capital Wiesbaden, a a place so loved by diplomatists. Nassau has given Emperors to Germany and Kings to the Nethez - lands. The Nassau Orange branch, which now reigns in the Netherlands, obtained the right in 1839." The funeral service upon the remains of Leon Gozlan took place yesterday at the church of St. Eugene, and was attended by a host of distinguished men of letters. At the cemetery of Montmartre two affecting speeches were made, one in the name of the Society of Men of Letters, and the other on the part of the Society of Dramatic Authors, of whom M. Gozlan was President. A few days ago there was an affecting and impos ing ceremony at Santin Cantales (department of Cantal). The Abbe Prat, born on the 27th of January, 1784, and appointed curate of that town on the Ist of July, 1816, celebrated the 50th year of his curacy. All his parishioners and numbers of clergymen from the neighbouring communes, by their presence, did honour to the good old man of 83, who is still hearty and vigorous and full of his ministry. The earthquake very nearly led to a great calamity at Blois. A great many packets of lucifer matches were thrown from the shelf by the shock, and if prompt assistance had not been at hand there would have been disastrous consequences. The flames from the matches set fire to other inflammable articles, and the value of those destroyed is estimated at 3,000 f. Lamirande, the cashier of the Bank of France at Poitiers, who is accused of frauds upon that Bank to the amount of 700,000 f., has arrived at that town under the care of the police to take his trial at the next assizes there. When the prisoner first reached Paris he protested against the means em ployed to procure his extradition from Canada, and he has since written to his counsel, M. Lachaud, in which he renews his protest. Before his letter to his counsel, he also addressed a similar protest to the English Ambassador at Paris. The substance of the protest is that the law allows an appeal against the order of extradition, but that he was hurried away the day after the order was issued, a a n va d iho t g hus him h s e elf had of not the p t r h i e vile o g p e po o r f tun a it p y pea o l f . lle claims to be sent to England, not to be set at liberty, but only to carry out the proceedings which were interrupted at Mon treal by force. lle also says that he is ready to sub mit to the jurisdiction of an English court of jus tice. Lamirande, besides this, has sent to the Director of the prison, at the Prefecture of Police, a protest against the means employed to bring him back to France, and requests him to transmit his protest to the competent authority. There are various circumstances connected with this case cal culated to excite public curiosity in the highest degree. e t m he ber d o e f pa o r n tm e o e f ot th o e f n amili i e s a m s of most honlo'uhreabplreisofer Vienne. I have collected some additional particulars of interest relative to the earthquake. At Boulogne sur-Seino in some houses the boards were raised, and the beds rocked, and the noise of the crockery and glasses was heard, just as is the case when a vessel pitches at sea. The shocks were given with different degrees of violence in the various loca lities. In some places they were scarcely felt. In others they were very violent. At Tours -the phenomenon lasted 14 seconds, and was aCCOIII panied by a rumbling noise like that made by a heavy cart driven rapidly over the stones. There were two distinct shocks, which produced a shaking or oscillatory movement in the direction from east to west. It was felt more forcibly in the upper stories of the houses. In the vicinity of Tours the earthquake created great alarm. At Vendome and Maus, in the same department (Indre et Loire), the shocks were generally felt. At Rouen the shocks were noticed by most of the inhabitants. At Nantes the effect was peculiarly violent. The shocks seemed particularly to traverse the direction of Brittany. At Angouleme there were two shocks from east to west, at the interval of a few seconds, and the noise is described to have resembled that made by the sawing of wood. The barometer fell sensibly, but there was no variation in the ther mometer. In several parts of the department of la Charente, at Ruffec for instance, the shocks lasted exactly the same time. They were also noticed in the department of the Loiret. At St. Marc the earthquake caused two accidents. A millwmnan named Girault was precipitated to the ground as she was passing the church, and the same thing oc curred to a man named Labanoux. Windows were broken, doors opened as it were by enchantment, and tiles from the attics were precipitated into the streets. In some parts the streets were strewed with tiles and broken chimney -pots. An inhabitant of Jargeau writes to say that in that town persons who had birds in cages were forewarned of the phe nomenon, as the birds jumped up and down from the perches in great alarm, and tried to get out of their cages. This circumstance induces some to suppose that the earthquake arose under the in fluence of electricity. At Riom :and at Claremont the shock was so violent that the inhabitants jumped out of their beds. The beds in some of the houses were rocked five times, and in some cases even their positions were changed. This strange fact is at tested by the evidence of respectable persons. The following are some interesting statistics re specting the Paris omnibuses. They were first started in 1825. In the interior of Paris there are 664 omnibuses, which perform 9,516 journeys on week days, and 10,280 on Sundays. In the suburbs there are 53, which go 1,000 journeys on week days, and on Sundays 1,082. There are 42 omnibuses on the line from the Bastille to the Madeleine only, which perform '764 journey on week days, and 802 on Sundays and fete days. There are 21 omni buses exclusively for the service of the railways, which perform 174 voyages on week days, and 240 on Sundays. The price charged for journeys in Paris is six sous inside and three sous outside. The Paris omnibuses are much more convenient and more exact as to time than those of London. By taking a correspondence ticket you can go in almost any direction for the same money, There are omni buses which go very rapidly on a tramway from Paris to Sevres in correspondence with those for Versailles, and by these you can go outside from the fortifications to the next station, a distance of about two miles, for one sou. A scientific paper contains some speculations as to the cause of an earthquake. In regard to the earthquake which I notice to-day, it is remarked by M. Decauchy, who has devoted much attention to volcanoes and other similar phenomena, that the earthquake of Friday took place simultaneously with the appearance of the aurora borealis, and he draws the inference that there is some connection between the two phenomena. M. Perry, the astro nomer of Dijon, believes that earthquakes arise from the concurrent appearance and action of the sun and moon. Several times lately they have been seen to shine together. A writer in the Pays denies that the excitement of a sojourn at Paris tends to shorten life, and men tions as an instance of longevity that he was on the top of an omnibus the other day when an old man of 103 got up with great agility. He is hale and hearty, and is often an outside traveller by the bus. He is an inmate of the Asylum for Old and Infirm Jews, founded in the Rue Picpus by Baron Rothschild, and goes on errands for that establish ment. . The weather improved much to-day. We have had sunshine and warmth, but rapidly passing clouds seem to indicate more storm and rain. DEATH OF Mn. J. B. DILLON, M.P.—We learn from Dublin, by telegraph, that Mr. J. B. Dillon, M.P. for Tipperary, died on !Saturday evening aft.- an illness of two days' duration. lie had suffered from diarrhcoa. DEATII OF SIR JOAN WILLOUGHBY.—We have to record the death of Sir John Pollard Willoughby, a mem ber of her Majesty's Council for India. The deceased was born in 1799, and succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his brother, Sir Henry Willoughby, M.P. for Evesham. Sir John was for some time member for Leominster. This is a branch of the noble house of Willoughby, springing from the Hon. John, son of the fourth Baron Willoughby d'Eresby. The vacancy in the Indian Council falls to the Crown. NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP FOR GLASGOW.— The Rev. James Lynch, late rector of the Irish Col lege in Paris, is to be consecrated as a bishop on the 17th of October. The ceremony, which will doubtless be of an imposing character, takes places in this city—the rev. gen tleman having been appointed by his Holiness coadjutor to Bishop Gray. During the last fortnight Mr. Lynch has been employed in giving a "Retreat" among the clergy of the district over which he is to proside.—Glasgow Evening Citizen. THE LORD RECTORSHIP OF THE ABERDEEN UNI VERSITY.—The students are already beginning to look for ward to the election of a successor to Earl Russell, whose term of office as Lord Rector of the University expires in November. We believe there is a probability of two can didates being nominated for the office—Mr. M. E. Grant Duff, M.P., and Mr. George Groto, the able historian of Greece, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of London. —Aberdeen Herald. RETURN OF THE GREAT EASTERN.—A meeting of the General Purposes Committee of theliverpool Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday for the purpose of taking into consideration a proposition of Mr. Rathbone, that, on the return of the Groat Eastern, which was expected daily at that port, an address from the Chamber bo presented, and a dinner given, to the principal persons who have been engaged in the successful laying of the Atlantic Cable. A resolution to this effect was adopted, and it will be sub mitted to the formal approval of the Council of the Cham ber, which meets on Wednesday. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM MEETINGS. -A great open-air meeting of working men was held on Friday evening in Camp Field, Manchester. Resolutions were enthusiastically passed in favour of manhood suffrage and the ballot ; also pledging attendance at the great reform meeting on the 24th inst., and inviting Mr. Bright to be present. Although the rain fell heavily, scarcely a man left the ground. There was also an enthusiastic reform meeting at Failsworth on the same evening. Similar re solutions to those adopted in Camp Field were passed. On Saturday evening there was an open-air gathering on King Stanley-green, near Stroud, for the parpose of ad vocating parliamentary reform. The chair was taken by Mr. A. Nicholls, and there was a largo attendance of work ing men of the district. Resolutions were adopted, ex pressive of disapproval of the combination of Tories and Adullamites for the overthrow of the late Ministry, and in favour of manhood suffrage and vote by ballot. The con duct of Mr. llorsman, in reference to the reform question, was severely criticised and condemned. MANCHESTER LOCK-OUTS.—On Saturday the lock out of the Manchester tailors was terminated. A conference of masters and men bad met some five different times, and have so arranged matters that all the men, about 700 in number, returned to work on Saturday. The lock out of the carpenters still continues. Of about 2,000 in Manchester at least 1,700 have been locked out four weeks. It seems that GO of the smaller employers have given the advance of 2s. per week, and 450 men are now working upon those terms. The large firms still hold out, and about 1,000 aro still locked out, who have up to this time been paid a weekly dividend amount i ng to a littl e over half wages. The men in work a t th e a d vance are paying a weekly levy of 4s. per man t owar d s t h e suppor t of their locked-out brethren. 'TIE PRINCE IMPERIAL, according to La Patrie, goes out at 10 every - morning, attended by his tutor, 31. Monnier, to take his swim at Port-Vieux. He is always received by a crowd of children, with whom he shakes hands and chats for a few minutes. Miss Shaw, his English nurse, however, takes possession of him, and he disappears into his bathing box, whence he emerges in short blank flannel drawers and scarlet flannel jacket. His swimming master watches his proceedings from. the beach, and gives him directions. The Empress usually comes down to the beach to see him bathe, and takes a scat under some trees.

The tower is also to be made six feet higher. The sanitary report was favourable ; only three deaths in the last twenty-four hours, and those not from cholera. The Phare de la Manche states that in pursuance of previous orders six large screw transports are at Cherbourg ready to put to sea. They are the Aveyron, the Calvados, the Gironde, the Garonne, the Nievre, and the Durance. Three steam vessels of the line, fitted up as transports, are also nearly ready. These are the Napoleon, the Bayard, and the Fontenoy. The Journal d'Avranches relates that a disastrous fire occurred a few days since at the hamlet of Gue Gantier, near Saint James, by which in less than one hour and a half 12 houses were destroyed with nearly all their contents. The cause of the disaster is supposed to have been a child of five years old playing with some matches near a heap of straw. The damage is estimated at about 50,000 fr., and only a portion of the goods was insured. BOURSE, Sept. 17.—Two o'clock.—The market to-day shows more stability, and all Securities are rather higher.

It is inspired bynoambi tion nor secret designs (ariere pensee). God has granted to both countries conditions of existence for which their in ternal resources are sufficient. The United States of Ame rica are invulnerable at home. That condition is due not only to the fact that the rampart of the Atlantic preserves them from European conflicts, but to the spirit which reigns there and the personal character of the people. America can suffer no harm but that which she inflicts on herself. We have seen with deep regret the struggle be tween the brothers of the North and South ; but we have always had faith in the final triumph of the Union, and we hope that it will lead to the durable consolidation of the efforts of the present President, whose system, which is at the same time based on firmness and moderation, possesses all our sympathies. On that point, gentlemen, I remark a certain analogy between the two countries. Russia by her geographical position may be involved in European com plications ; the fortune of war may inflict on us reverses. Nevertheless, I believe that the same invulnerability exists in an equal degree for Russia, and will be manifested when ever the dignity and honour of the country are seriously menaced, for then, as in all the crises of our history, the real power of Russia will make itself felt ; it consists not only in her territorial extent or on the number of her popu lation, but is derived from the intimate and everlasting bond which unites the sovereign to the nation and confides to his hands all th e ma t er i a l an d i ntellectual f orces o f t h e country, as it now concentrates in him all the feelings of love and devotedness. I thank you, gentlemen, for the at tention you have paid to me, while I at the same time re gret that the feelings by which we are all animated should have been so imperfectly expressed. Before terminating, I must pay a tribute of respect to the memory of President Lincoln, that great citizen who sacrificed his life in the accomplishment of his duties. I now propose a toast to the prosperity of the United States ; to the success of the work of pacification undertaken by the present President ; to Mr. Fox, to whom was confided a task which could not be placed in better hands; to Captains Murray and Beau mont, whose intrepid skill has assured the success of that long voyage, as well as all those who have taken part in it. I will not be guilty of the ingratitude of forgetting the present representative of the United States among us, who has constantly given proofs of his affection for Russia. When our friends from America shall return home I desire that they should carry with them and preserve the feelings they leave with us. Let them tell their countrymen that a great nation will never forget the proof of sympathy offered to its Sovereign, and that there has been in the history of the two countries a moment in which we and our friends in America have lived the same life, in which they have , shared our sorrows as they are now associated in our joys. KENSINGTON GARDENS.—A range of additional seats has been placed along the entire line of tho gravelled walk which extends from the entrance at the Serpentine bridge to near the site of the Prince Consort's memorial, and is situate between the Broad-walk and the brick wall which abuts on Hyde . Park. The seats are very commodi ous, and have two sittings, so that the occupants will be enabled to face the gardens on one side and Hyde Park on the other. A Plea for Sweden. (No. 4.) TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN'. Srn,—ln addition to the cathedral, where the coffins of numerous dead royal personages are to be seen, the attention of the antiquary should be given with respect to a singular church, distant about two miles N.W. of the Observatory, at Stockholm, which, placed in a picturesque position, consists chiefly of a large round granite tower, and is sup posed by some persons to have been originally a heathen temple. It is near the new railway from Stockholm to Up sala, which will open on the 19th inst., and well de serves a visit, being one of the oldest churches in Sweden. Before leaving Stockholm I desired to see the Royal Library, but at present it is open by special permission to particular persons. It contains many books and manuscripts, including a copy of " Spe culum Humaux Salvationis," printed in wood-cut, before the invention of movable type, and " Cicero do Officiis," printed on parchment in the year 1465. Amongst the manuscripts is the Codex Aureus, being a Latin translation of the four Gospels, written upon white and violet-coloured parchment leaves. It ap pears, by a note in the Anglo-Saxon, that this "Codex," was bought from heathen pirates. Another valuable manuscript here is the Devil's Bible, taken by Konigsmark, during the Thirty Years' War in Prague. It is a large book, and receives its title from a legend that a monk, sen tenced to death, saved himself by copying the whole book, with Satanic assistance, in one night. Biblio graphers assert it was written from time extending from the 9th to the 13th century. The voyage from Stockholm to the port of Malmce, opposite Copenhagen, occupied several days, as stoppages occurred at Wisby, in the Isle of Goth land, at Kalmar, opposite Oland Island, at Carls crona, Ystad, and several minor ports. At Wisby there are good specimens of architec ture remaining. A large part of the ancient wall, with several lofty towers and the remains of several churches, deserve more attention than time allowed me to bestow upon them. This place is most inte resting, and it can be easily reached by steamer from Stockholm. It has a good hotel and harbour, and there are two ancient gateways in a complete state of preservation,. also shady walks. Kalmar is a busy seaport, with an old castle and cathedral, and it has a terrace walk close to the sea, well planted. Carlscrona, has a good harbour, and is well fortified. It Contains a very wide street and square, with several curiously-built churches. Also a pretty cemetery, with a long row of poplars, ter minating by a temple, used as a church. The town was especially interesting to me as the birthplace of the late John Diderick Holm, of Highgate, the friend of Coleridge, and of Spurzheim, and also the literary executor of the latter gentleman. Ystad contains some singularly-built bathing houses, built out into the sea, like small plans of Noah's Ark. These communicate with the land by means of raised wooden platform, and are a decided improvement upon the old movable arks called bathing-machines. The weather, until recently, has been summerlike and pleasant ; but Sweden should bo visited before the end of August. Some one in each town capable of speaking English can generally be found, and the people are civil and obliging, also cleanly. The coinage is simple, consisting of one dollar notes or bills, valued at 13 pence each, and composed of 100 parts, called ore. Copenhagen is distant from Malmo° about three hours' sail by steam, and amongst its numerous sights perhaps the plain grave of Thorwaldsen is the most interesting. It is placed in the garden, which is surrounded by the building containing his works. These, as well as the picture-gallery in the palace, which contains more than one portrait of this blue eyed son of genius, may be seen on Sundays at certain hours, apparently without detriment to the morals or happiness of the Lutheran population. Three hours by sail or steam will carry the tra veller on to Elsinore, containing a large fortress bristling with cannon, and filled With soldiers appa rently able to man them effectually. It is five miles from the opposite coast of Sweden. In the pleasure-grounds of Marienbyst, distant half a mile eastward of this town, I visited the grave and garden of Hamlet. The latter is simply a low circular mound of earth, some six yards in diameter, with a plain granite column about four feet high standing in the centre. From this spot are seen the Swedish coast and inter vening sea through the trees below. The grounds contain walks and terraces, and a largo modern building now used as a tavern. This is in the lower part of thejrounds, beneath the part where the grave of Hamlet is ; and a row of lime trees, form ing three sides of a square, is 'seen opposite this house also—rooms for " Roulette and Tornbold." Before leaving Denmark I may relate a curious tradition connected with the Danes and my native town of New Alresford, Hampshire, which forms, with its ancient church, where I was baptised, a slanting cross exactly. The legend is that a battle occurred at Tisted, near Alresford, when the Saxons defeated the Danes, and granted them quarter upon the understanding that they should be baptised in the river Alder, near Alresford pond. They assented, and afterwards worshipped at a shrine built in the Old Alresford Church-yard, and the foundations of which are believed to have been found there during the last century. This shrine was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and the tradition is to the effect that so many devotees hastened to the shrine that it was deter mined to build the town of New Alresford, which was subsequently joined to Old Alresford by means of a causeway, in order to accommodate the worshippers. A curious legend—and still more curious is it that one of the oldest Roman Catholic families now in Britain should have resided in the immediate vicinity of New Alesford for some 200 years before the conquest at least ! Denmark coinage is composed also of dollars, in specie or notes —one dollar being equal to 2s. 3d., and composed of 6 marks or 96 skillings. Neither in Sweden nor in Denmark is any passport now re quired. The expense of travelling and of board is reasonable, and the Custom-house inspection is nominal.—l am, sir, yours obediently, CHR. CooKE. Gothenburg, Sweden, Sept. 13, 1866. The operative cloth dressers of Leeds, numbering about 1,000, struck work on Saturday morning for an ad vance of 15 per cent. on their present rate of wages. Six of the employers have complied with the request, but in four of the mills the men decline to enforce their demand by leaving work. THE BRADFORD WORKING MEN ON EX-GOVER NOR EYRE.—The Bradford Working Men's Con servative Association held a meeting on Thursday evening last, Mr. Walters in the chair. The meeting was a very good one, and several now members joined the association. The secretary read a correspondence between himself and Mr. Hamilton Hume, hon. secretary of the Eyre Defence and Aid Fund Committee, London, and also a report of the meetings of the committee, several copies of which report had been received from the hon. secretary; after which the following address to Mr. Eyre, late Governor of Jamaica, was unanimously adopted : " TO EDWARD JOHN EYRE, ESQ. " Sir,—We, the members of the Bradford Working Men's Conservative Association, having seen with regret that cer tain men with a vindictiveness and malice (we hope un precedented) have wilfully maligned your character in a manner, and by language and acts, totally unwarranted by facts, and in direct opposition to all feelings of justice and of right, we consider it to be our bounden duty thus to offer our protest against these denunciations being ac counted as the feelings of the country, and especially of tho working population of England. We have no doubt that the real sentiment of the people is one of entire con viction that the calumnies so unscrupulously heaped upon your name are so base and so untruthful that, if the case was fairly laid before them, they woul4 repudiate with contempt any statement which should make them a party to such calumny. " With respect to the treatment to which you have un fortunately been subjected by:the . lato Government, we be lieve it was entirely unmerited, that your conduct during the last few months of your office in Jamaica deserved the praise of the English Government, as we have no doubt it deserves, and will obtain the . congratulations of all just men and all thoughtful and feeling Englishmen.

Miss M. Oliver as Lady All en . H er graee'; appearance and her charming v oi ce are am ong th b principal attractions of the evening. She is pat e % in her style. Miss Rosina Ranoe acted the Fri ° , in a graceful manner, a n d p ossesses a ca ptivating voice. If Malcolm Graenie was as handaol ae ' graceful, and charming as Miss H. Lindley rePr e ' sents him, he must have been a most f as cinating cavalier—her voice and her lo o k s winning all hearts. Roderick Dhu was capitally played by Miss Ada Taylor, who sh owe d con siderab le talent, and a soul worthy of th e anc i en t Sec )teii. We were glad, by the way, t o see Miss Ann ie Bourke' again on the boards of th e N e w RnYalti'D looking as engaging as ever. W e must 110, fail to notice the wonderful sword fight between the Highland heroes. Mr. E. D an vers rna ke i a capital forsaken Blanche, his singing an j, his dancing are truly wonderful. Mr. able Russell played Douglas in a ve r y commend o.lll manner, and Mr. W. H. Stephen was equ al good in his part. Great care has b e en displayed in the mounting of the pie ce. The dresses are magnificent. Mr. Cuthbe r , scenery is as usual most effectively and be a o of tifully painted, no small task on a stag- o such limited dimensimis. While mentioning t ' h truly clever artist we hear that a brillial; offer has been made to him to v i s it the Fr elic • fai r capital next year, whereby no doubt a opportunity will be afforded to him to display i 0 , remarkable talent.
