As was anticipated when the Corporation decided upon letting the working men have the use of the Guildhall, and the Lord MAYOR consented to preside over the assembly, the greatest order and good temper prevailed through out the evening, and the meeting, which this time was really composed of working men, showed throughout the best characteristics of their class. The speakers, whether working meti or not, were listened to with attention, and did not find their eloquence so suddenly cut short as at the Agri cultural Hall. The audience had really a chance of being an audience, and were not obliged to guess at the speaker's meaning from his gesticulations. The Lord MAYOR, who on taking the chair was warmly applauded, reminded the meeting that three things were necessary for a successful public meeting at which there should be free and independent interchange of opinions, and those three things were good temper, good judg ment, and moderation, and these three things were fairly attained last evening. The Lord MAYOR ap pealed to those present to support him in his posi tion as a guarantee for public order, but he had no occasion during the whole course of the meeting to exercise his authority or his influence. The meeting, as a fairly constituted English public meeting always will do, showed itself fully capable of self government, and though there was, of course, occa sional extravagance of language, there was nothing that passed the fair bounds of debate, or interfered with the arrangements of the evening. Perhaps we should make one exception in regard to the speech, not of a stonemason or cordwainer, but of Mr. MASON JONES, who, in seconding one of tho regular resolutions, attempted to introduce one on his own account, and who appeared to think that any extravagance of language would do for working men. His great idea seems to be to displace the present Govenment, by fair means or foul, and the great object of his appeal was to " raise such a storm of indignation in the coming winter as would for ever drive the Tory party from office." The greater part of the meeting, however, was not disposed for such wild heroics, being appa rently better informed than Mr. JONES of the nature of political parties, and being by no means inclined to reduce Englishmen to a dead level in which only one opinion can be expressed. Quot homilies, tot sententia is a maxim with which Mr. JONES is apparently unacquainted, and he can only tolerate those persons who think precisely like himself. Such was not the prevailing opinion, and several of the speakers very sensibly said that, for their part, they looked to men rather than measures, and would accept a good Reform Bill, from whichever side it came. We have already lost seven years by this party spirit, for had the House of Commons of 1859 given a hearing to Lord DERBY'S Bill in a really liberal spirit, they could have greatly enlarged and amended its provisions, and have given the people what they wanted. The working men of to-day are old enough to remember that all this eloquence about the wickedness of the Tories was rehearsed seven years ago, only accompanied with ex ultation over their downfall instead of Jeremiads over their accession to office. But, in spite of the flourish of trumpets with which the return of the Liberal party was hailed in 1859, it was not until 1866 that any attempt was made to bring in a Reform Bill. It is this wholesale pre judice and party spirit which does so much harm and distracts attention from the real points at issue, and helps to defeat itself. We are glad to see that the working men of London generally are getting be yond this, and are inclined to concentrate their efforts on really tangible and practical aims. It is in one sense fortunate that the meeting of last evening should have been fixed after the Hyde Park demonstration, to afford a specimen of the manner in which our mechanics and artisans behave them selves, in contrast to the performances of those gentry who so greatly distinguished themselves at the West-end, but who found the proceedings last night too tame for them. Now that the first excitement of the German war is nearly over people naturally begin to look at the consequences of the war, and to criticise more closely the conduct of Prussia. It cannot be said that she comes successfully out of this ordeal, and on the contrary, indeed, we may fairly state that she appears to greater disadvantage than she has ever done before. By her dexterous manceuvring she has - contrived to offend both Russia and France, and we have yet to see what the end will be of all these blunders which she has committed. The French journals are unanimous in censuring the course pursued by the Berlin Government, and especially in animadverting upon the speech of the KING at the ceremony of opening the Chambers. Even those persons who were at first inclined to admire the brilliant success of the Prussian arms are now quite disgusted at the treatment which the French nation has received at the hands of those who ought to have known better. Certainly we have no great cause to be flattered with the manner in which the Kim} has treated us, but at any rate it is still worse to notice the way in which he leaves out all mention of France. Under the particular circumstances of the case it is a positive insult, and there is no cause for surprise that our continental neigh bours are not in a very placid state of mind about it. It was the more inconsistent, because it is an undisputed fact that it is in consequence of the E3IPEROR'S mediation that the Armistice has taken place, and it is therefore quite out of character for the Emperor NAPOLEON to come from his camp, where he has been daily receiving telegraphi c coin _ munications from Paris respecting the arrangements to be made, and then at an important ceremony, like that of opening the Chambers, to omit all mention of the part which the French EMPEROR has taken in the affair. It is trifling with things for a Sovereign thus to comport himself upon can possibly a momen tous occasion, and the only reason which be given for his reticence makes the case worse instead of better. He did not want to confess what prominence had been given to France in the matter, and hence his smuggling over the affair of the armistice altogether. The KING was also silent about Italy, which was peculiar, to say the least of it, as if he were conscious of the alliance being un popular with the Germans. It did not recede its efforts to ignore it altogether. It may fairly be said that it is a long while since a greater mistake was made in any Royal Speech as that King WILLIAM has committed in his recent discourse. The effects of it will not speedily pass away either, but for a long time be sufficiently apparent to prove the fatal errors into which people may be led when they enter upon a selfish course, and pay no regard to any one but themselves or their own immediate interests. The French appear to take a very, cor• rect view of the policy of Prussia alto gether, and those independent Prussians who have been credulous enough to believe the pro mises of the KING will find that the critics of France have seen clearer and know better than themselves. We see, then, that in one country of Europe, and that the most significant one, the dreams are already dispelled and the illusion vanished which told of a grand future opening for Germany. In how many other directions a similar eclaircissement will shortly take place it is difficult now to decide, but sooner or later the mists will disperse, and all will recog nise the full extent of the deceit and hypocrisy which have been practised in Berlin. Mili tary despotism is indeed the most likely thing to take place in Prussia and in all those States which are unfortunate enough to come under the sway of that country; and, as for Liberalism being in the ascendant, it is quite ridiculous to suppose such a thing. Why should the KING and Herr BISMARCK give up their long-cherished schemes now that there seems to be every chance of their being realised ? Such an idea is a most preposterous one, one that could only be seriously entertained by the ignorant and infatuated. The Parisian politicians are sharp-witted enough to notice the signs and tokens of passing events, and no doubt we shall find that they are right in this instance. If the Prussians were not too inflated by success, it would be a great mortification for them to witness tho sorry figure which they cut before foreign States, at a time, too, when they seek to be so impressive and omnipotent. How ever, they are so conceited and self-satisfied just now that in all probability it will be some time before the meaning of this dissatisfaction reaches them. A very just opinion is formed of the real meaning of this speech by the Gazette de France, when it avers that the KING asks for a Bill of Indemnity, but admits the illegal course of his Government without any expression of regret at the circumstance, and so far from doing that he in timates that he can do very well without their con currence if they choose to withhold it. "As for liberty King WILLIAM says nothing, and for very good reasons. Assuredly it is not liberty that he means to give to Germany." The Opinione Na tionale speaks out plainly, and for the first time a direct allusion is made to the encroachments of Prussia; and it is said that as long as Pru keeps to the north of the Maine it may not matter that she takes so much territory, but if she means to absorb all Germany France will look for the Rhine provinces. This is a very significant declaration of opinion, and the Constitutionnel itself is disappointed at the silence of the KING, and the uncertainty which now exists as to the fate of those countries that have been con quered. Of course such a reserve respecting them bodes ill for their future progress or prosperity, and it is, indeed, stretching the point too far, and exhibiting to the nations of Europe an arrogant assumption that is quite intolerable. General MANTEUFFEL'S mission to St. Peters burg is at present one of the most absorbing topics of interest in Berlin, and reference is made to it in the semi-official Provinzial Corre.spondenz, which, in an article on the subject, admits that Russia takes a lively interest in the changes occur ing in Germany, in consequence of the relations that exist between her and the Courts of the seve ral States ; but it is added that all apprehensions entertained as to the attitude assumed by that Power will speedily turn out to be groundless. This is not so certain as the writer would make it out to be, and it shows that the matter has been as serious as some supposed for it to be commented on after this fashion. The Government of Berlin may find that they have their hardest work before them, and that it was easier to conquer in the field of battle than to arrange affairs satisfactorily in the Cabinet and with foreign Powers, who justly feel affronted at the manner in which they have been treated. Affairs in America, though still unsettled, are in a fair way to settle themselves. The people are tired of the long -continued tyranny of the Radicals, and are taking matters into their own hands. They are certain of the approval and assistance of the PRESIDENT in what they are doing, -and have quite sufficient political sagacity to know that it is im possible to restore tranquillity and prosperity throughout the country until the Union is fully and fairly restored. The Philadelphia Convention, which is about to assemble, promises to be a most important gathering. The delegates already appointed to attend on behalf of the States are men of the highest standing, while New York proposes to send a special delegation of its chief capitalists and merchant princes. Every interest in the country, says a writer from the States, is rallying in support of this Convention, and a more spontaneous uprising on the part of the people for the vindication of the Union was never witnessed in America. The Radical party are in fact much in the position of their allies, the Fenians. They are divided amongst themselves, the leaders disagree, and the followers lose heart. The PRESIDENT has come off victorious from the contest, having had patience and firmness to wait until the great body of the public should support him, and echo the opinion at first expressed by the intelligence of Europe. The States are no longer to be disorganised and disunited to please a band of political fanatics, who, as they feel power slipping from them, become more and more reckless in bidding for support. Their last attempt to secure the Irish votes is so transparent that it has failed even to deceive the too credulous Irishmen, who are no longer to be taken in by wholesale abuse of Great Britain. Both Radicals and Fenians have talked largely for a good long time, but neither Ireland nor America have yet profited much by their eloquence. Mr. Laird, bi.P., had an interview with the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer at his official resi dence in Downing-street yesterday. LAND IRRIGATION BY SEWAGE.—Wherever this plan has been adopted the result has been a commercial as well as a sanitary success. The famous meadows in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, which are irrigated with a portion of the sewage of that city, form the most notable example. The improved rental of this land, in extent about 400 acres, is £22 per acre, which represents the value of the sewage. But deducting 30s. per acre for interest on capital and working expenses, and the net profit is £2O 10s. per acre.

AAD SOLD BY AUCTION.—The foreclosure cf the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad mortgages has just been completed by a sale under the superintendence of the Master in Chancery, in pursuance of a decree. The first division, consisting of the road between Davenport and lowa City, and Wilton Junction and Muscatine, to gether with all the rolling stock, shops, &c., was knocked clown at $1,000,000 to Mr. E. Cook, who represented the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad Company. hlo had only one competitor, who made one bidding. Mr. Cook was also the purchaser of the Oskaloosa division, from Muscatine West, at $300,000 (the only bid); of the land granted to the company by the United States, about 475,000 acres, for $200,000; and of the remaining lot, the n estern division of the road from lowa City West, for $600,000. The only competition beside that noticed for the first division was upon one quarter section of the land, which was started at $1 per acre by a gentleman from Polk county, and it was run up to $3 per acre, and struck off to Mr. Cook. The sale certainly gave the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad a great bargain ; but, as the road had to be sold, we suppose they had just as good a claim for that as any other party. What is now wanted by the people of this county and central lowa is to com plete the road, at least to Desmoines. This, we understand, will be done.—Davenport Gazette. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The opinions of the German papers relative to the speech of the King of Prussia cannot yet be ascertained. The Constitutionne/ says that, accord ing to its private correspondence, " the speech com pletely satisfied the hopes of the constitutional party, and that it produced great irritation in the ranks of the Federals." The Vienna journals are occupied with the con sideration of the policy which Austria must adopt to regain her prestige and station in Europe. The Debat of Vienna says, " Prussia has survived her defeat at the battle of Jena, and has become great and powerful. But Koniggratz was not like Jena, the difference is very great. The victory of Prussia has closed the door of Austrian policyin a certaindirection , but it has not overpowered the strength of A Itstria. That strength is greater than may be genera* be lieved. The duty of the Government, of that Government which comprises new Austria, and its mission, is to put herself at the head of the move ment, to convoke all the national elements for the transformation of the empire, to indicate the object of it, and to give impetus to it." According to the Constitutionnel, the difficulties in the way of the arrangement of the armistice with Italy are connected with the question of the Southern Tyrol. The Italian troops occupy the greater portion of that country, as well as a small part of Illynia, and perhaps there is a wish at Florence that this position should be formally re cognised. However the question of frontier limits will form part of the negociations for peace. On Monday M. Babinet again called the atten tion of the Academy of Sciences to the Atlantic cable. After exhibiting a portion of it and describ ing its composition, which he said was better than the last, M. Babinet proceeded to say—" Now it is at the bottom of the sea, and it will for some time be sufficiently protected to transmit electricity, but the water will eventually destroy it, and then fare well to transatlantic communication. It is also to be feared that the cable does not lie upon the bed of the sea. If placed between two elevations, it will infallibly break when it shall be corroded to a small extent of its thickness. The conclusion to be drawn from all these difficulties is that it will be ad visable to take as much advantage as possible for the cable while it exists to determine the longitude of the American Etation. M. Babinet then said that by order of the Emperor, and upon the invi tation of Lord Dudley, a scientific commission had left France that morning to examine the new cable. The members of the commission were Messrs. Gavarret, Gaugin, dad Guillemin. Whatever may be the opinion of the Academy of Sciences as to the forebodings of M. labinet, at all events he was listened to very attentively, and however great may be the pain ard disappointment should M. Babinet be right, eves if wrong, upon a subject of such permanent intert, it is well to " gather the (golden) opinions of all sorts of people." In Paris the progress of communication with America by mean of the Atlantic cable begins to assume the uppermost position in the public mind. After the distributi)n of the prizes by M. Drouyn de Lhuys the Minister gave a dinner to the success ful students. At dessert he gave a toast "To our four laureats, Rhetoric, Philosophy, Science, His tory, the four columas of classic education—those four daughters of the university, who, in spite of the difference in their physiognomies, all appear to belong to the same family." The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Vienna dated August 2, which says: —" The armistice has been signed with Prussia, and there is every reason to believe that before the expiration of the delay of four weeks the definite treaty of peace with that Power will be signed. The most disagreeable con dition of the treaty is the exclusion of Austria from the Germanic Confederation. The Austrians, how ever, flatter themselves that the course of events will induce the great Powers to modify the position which they have assigned to Austria in the centre of Europe. The Emperor has retorned to St. Cloud from Vichy, but I believe that he will leave for the camp at Chalons without delay. The volcanic phenomena in the island of Santorin increase daily. The two small islands of Nea, Kaimeni and Palea-Kairneini, are now almost united by the submarine action. The change, however, will benefit the island of Santorin, as it will protect it from the north winds, which were formerly very much feared by the inhabitants. The Illoniteur states that the armistice between Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Baden was signed on the 3d inst. One of the principal conditions of the armistice is that the portion of the Grand Duchy situated to the north of Neckar shall continue to be occupied by the Prussian troops until the definitive conclusion of peace. At the second day's races at Deauville the prize of 4,000 f., given by the society for the encourage ment of the breed and improvement of horses in France, was won by Vertugadin ; Fleur-des-Bois second. The Emperor's Prize of 2,000 f., for horses of three years old and upwards, was won by Said ; Le Magicien second. The Grand Steeplechase of 10,000 f., given by the Administrator des Haras for entire horses, was won by Valentino ; Regalia second. Total amount of the prize, 14,700 f. _ . In spite of the pacific aspect of affairs, theresults of the settlement and other circumstances have induced inactivity to-day, and speculators for a rise are disappointed. The weather continues to be that of late autumn, very cold in the morning, and gusty and threatening throughout the day. A similar account of the weather comes from the provinces of France. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAIL WAY.—The directors of this company have decided upon recommending the payment of a dividend for the past half year at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the consoli dated stock of the company. A deputation from the Bow and Bromley Health Committee of the Poplar Board of Works, appointed under the Order in Council of the 21st July, 1866, consisting of Mr. E. R. Cook, of the Metropolitan Board of Works ; Mr. J. Blott and Mr. Z. Barth, of the Poplar District Board of Works; the Rev. G. T. Driffield, rector of Bow ; the Rev. A. G. How. vicar of Bromley, and the Rev. R. Parnell, incumbent of St. Stephens, North Bow, waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence in Downing-street yesterday, to call his attention to the ex penses entailed upon the district by the order. LOCOMOTIVE BOILER EXPLOSION.--On Tuesday morning, about half-past six o'clock, a fearful ex plosion of a locomotive engine occurred at Sunderland. It appeared that one of the locomotive engines belonging to the Earl of Durham, used for drawing coals froth Pensher to the Lambton drops, belonging to his lordship, at Sun derland, had gone from one of the collieries, taking a num ber of joiners to Sunderland to do some work at the coal drops. The engine had run into a siding near to Deptford Church to fill water from a tank, and had put the water on, when a great explosion occurred, which lifted the massive engine, about 33 tons weight, off the rails, turned it com pletely round, and threw it over on its side. At the time four men were on it. Michael Errington, the driver, was on the side of the engine oiling tho works ; J. Atkinson, the fireman, was attending to the water, and two men, named J. Brandon, another engineman, and M. Bunck, a guard, were on the tender, intending to proceed with the locomotive to Philadelphia, where they live. The clouds of steam and showers of red-hot cinders and coals at first pre vented the men who were at work from seeing the extent of the accident, but as these cleared away they saw the overturned engine and rushed to the spot. The first man found was the engineman, who had been blown away some 15 yards, across several lines of rails, and alighted •n his head. The other throe men were blown in various direc tions, but all had been dreadfully scalded by the steam and water ejected from the engine. The engine-driver was the least injured of the three; ho was placed on another loco motive and taken to Philadelphia, where he resides. The three others were as soon as possible put into a cab and taken to Sunderland Infirmary, where their injuries are such that fears are entertained for the recovery of two of them. On examining the locomotive, it was ascertained, that one side of the inside plates of the firebox had been blown off by the pressure of steam inside, and the plate was most curiously torn and twisted. Fortunately, the force of the explosion had been downwards instead of out wards, or all the men would have been killed. The engine was only about two years old, and was manufactured by ll . udswell and Clark, of Leeds. It is believed that the en gineman had allowed the plates to become overheated for want of water, and immediately on the admission of fresh water the explosion took place. The pressure was not more than usual, viz., about 1101b.—Leeds Mercury LA TEST INTELLIGENO E (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) _.___y ~__ __.. THE WAR IN GERMANY. PADUA, Aug. 8 (Evening). The suspension of hostilities between Austria any Italy has been prolonged for 24 hours, namely, unti 4 a.m. on the 11th inst. FLORENCE, Aug. 9. The King has appointed Count Barral and Gen. Meneabrea plenipotentiaries for Italy at the con ference to be held•at Prague for the conclusion of peace. The great majority of the communes and pro vinces have already declared their willingness to undertake to raise their proportion of the amount required for the new national loan. A similar course is expected to be pursued in the other provinces. The Italian troops in Venetia are being concen trated in defensive positions. The assertions of an Austrian journal in reference to an alleged letter of the Emperor Napoleon to the King of Italy are unfounded, A perfect understanding exists between Italy and France on the question of the cession of Venetia. BRUSSELS, Aug. 9. The King has had a slight attack of varicella, and was therefore unable to open yesterday the Belgian• Exhibition of Fine Arts. COCHIN CHINA. PARIS, Aug. 9.

Great efforts are being made in Hanover to save the independence of the kingdom by the abdication of King George in favour of his eldest son. A pro posal was made in that sense by the municipality of the capital to the Queen, who, however, declined to transmit it to her husband. A mission of the same nature being attempted by Count Munster, at the present moment at Berlin, has met with but an in different reception, and will not have the least success. The ceremony of reconsecrating the ancient Abbey of St. Michel, on the coast of Brittany, has just taken place, and was attended by a large number of high ecclesiastics, amongst whom were the Archbishop of Alby, Mgr. de Charbonnel, formerly Bishop of Toronto, the Bishop of St. Claude, and the Bishop of Coutances and Avranches, who presided. Mgr. de Charbonnel pronounced an address, in which be referred to some of the patriotic legends attached to the old abbey, and amongst them that of 119 knights, assisted by 119 soldiers, Bretons and Nor mans, who, in the long war with the English, de fended on one occasion the French flag against 20,000 enemies. The religious ceremony on the occasion of restoring the old building—for so many years used as a prison —to its religious destination is described as exceedingly imposing, and the crowd from the surrounding country immense.

Near the Alps the weather is calm and fine. Some squalls coming from the Atlantic are traversing Spain." At Paris yesterday the weather was threat ening in the morning and rain fell at intervals. At three o'clock the thermometer marked 20 Cent. (68 Fahr.) The Droit relates that M. Ferdinand B—, 62 years of age, cashier in a house of business, blew out his brains with a pistol the night before last at the house of a friend in the Rue de Richelieu, with whom lie bad dined.

He announced, in terminating, that the Emperor had conferred the cross of the Legion of Honour on M. Dorus, professor of the flute, the best pupil of Tulou. It may not be generally known that the prize of honour at the grand distribution at the Sorbonne exempts from the conscription and all the fees of examination and inscription in the various faculties. The Minister of War having been consulted as to what localities were proper for firing salvoes of hon our or rejoicing has decided that they are not to be permitted except in places where there are a troop of artillery and the necessary material, and that in no case ought they to be attempted where there would be a necessity for recurring, for the service of the pieces, to other than trained artillerymen. The various colleges yesterday were occupied with the ceremony of distributing the prizes to their most deserving pupils. At Charlemagne, M. Ravaisson, Member of the Institute, Inspector of Public ,In struction, presided ; Bonaparte, M. Vandal, Coun cillor of State, Director of the Post-office ; St. Louis, M.

DUBLIN, Wednesday Morning, The Rev. Mr. M'Cabe, whose name was signed to tho programme of the ceremonial and public procession with which it was proposed to celebrate the arrival of Cardinal Cullen on Monday next, writes to the Freeman's Journal, stating that the programme was intended for private circu lation only, and that the idea of having a procession has been given up. The reason stated by Mr. M'Cabe is, that it is feared "that our fellow-citizens, who differ from us in religion, might take as an offence to themselves what was merely intended as a compliment to a most distin guished prelate." The decision to which the Rev. Mr. 31‘Cabe and the principal Roman Catholic clergymen of Dublin have come with respect to the intended demonstration has given great satisfaction to those who remember the processions on the occasion of the foundation of the Roman Catholic University being laid, and the, complete interruption of business which occurred when the firs stone of the O'Connell monument was placed in Sackville-street. The Maharajah of Johore has visited Dublin, and: yes terday witnessed a review of the troops in garrison in the Phoenix Park. He also paid visits to Sir Thomas Larcom, Under Secretary, to the Lord Chancellor, and to other dis tinguished personages. To-day he proposes visiting the demesnes of Lord Powerscoutt and the Earl of Meath, and had in consequence to decline an invitation to be present at a review of the troops quartered in the Curragh camp. It is believed that the stay of his highness will be limited to another day, - when ho intends visiting Belfast, and thence proceeding to Scotland. It is rumoured that the authorities are in possession of important evidence in reference to the murder of Clarke on the banks of the Royal Canal. The prisoner Carney, it is said, will not be tried at the commission of Oyer and Terminer, which will be opened to-morrow by Chief Justice Whiteside and Chief Justice Monahan. Another case of cholera occurred on Monday evening in the Liberties. The woman who was attacked died within twelve hours. The Bishop of Tuam, Lord Plunket, is said to be out a danger.

SUSPECTED INCENDIARISM—BARKING (Thursday Morning).—For several hours last night and this morning the inhabitants of this usually quiet district have been kept in a state of great excitement, in consequence of the raging of a fire, which, there is strong ground for believing, was the work of some vile incendiary. The premises in which the disaster commenced were termed Mary Bell Farm, the property of Mr. T. L. Copper. The flames were first discovered by one of the farm servants raging in a stack of hay on the homestead. At attempt was at once made to got the fire extinguished, but all exertions on the part of those present proved futile, and the flames quickly extended to another rick, and assumed such a formidable appearance that it was deemed advisable to send to West Ham and also to Lon don for the use of the engines. Those from the first -named place quickly attended, as well as two of Shand, Mason, and o.'s land steamers. Under the direction of Superin tendents Jones and Gatehouse, the engines were set to work from a pond on the farm, but hour after hour passed away before any impression could be made upon the vio lence of the flames, and it was not until this morning that the fire could be extinguished. Fortunately all the farm buildings were saved. The loss will fall upon the Royal Farmers'„lnsurance Company. BURGLARS CONVICTED BY A PARROT._ H EAVY SENTENCE.-At the Liverpool Assizes, yesterday, two bur glars, named Edge and Thornton, were charged with a burglary at a house in Everton. The prisoners had entered the house and had stolen some money. An alarm was given by a parrot in the house, and the prisoners were appre hended about 100 yards from the premises. The brutal fellows had cut off one of the legs of the parrot, and when apprehended had in their possession a knife stained with blood, and with one of the parrot's feathers on it. The Prisoners, who had undergone penal servitude for several previous offences, made a most-elaborate defence. During the hearing of the case Edge twitted the doctor upon not knowing whether the blood on the knife was that of a cow or a parrot, after having examined it tfrough a "telescope." lie also accused the policeman of perjury, and said that when before the magistrates the policeman's cheeks burned " like a furnace burns—down to the lowest depths of hell." His lordship (Mr. Baron Martin) sentenced each of the prisoners to twenty years' penal servitude. diturt Nsßc HER MAJESTY. - - OSB OR NE , Aug. 8.
