Archbishop Manning's Pastoral. The following is a copy of the newly-consecrated Archbishop's Pastoral read at all the Catholic cha pels yesterday : Henry Edward, by the Grace of God and the favour of the Apostolic See, Archbishop Elect of Westminster, to the Clergy, Secular and Regular, and the Faithful of the said Diocese, HEALTH AND BENEDICTION IN TEE LORD. The Sovereign Will which by the assistance of the Spirit of God, rules over the Church on earth, has seen fit, in spite of our manifold infirmities, to lay on us the burden of giving account, at the last day, of this great Flock. When first these tidings reached us, all other thoughts vanished before the consciousness of our great unworthi ness to be set as a Pastor over you. It is from you, and from your examples of fidelity and zeal, of your fearless inflexibility and childlike docility in the faith, that we have been learning for these many years past. We have - looked to you, reverend and beloved brethren in Jesus Christ, as Counsellors, Guides, and Fathers. And now, for our humiliation—we trust not for your confusion,—the Divine Will of Him who calls the " things that are not" as if they were, has placed us to be to you, so far as He helps us, that which you have so charitably been to us. Two things alone, under God, have given to usany adequate consolation in this time of anxiety and fear : the one, that what has fallen upon us comes from the hand of the Vicar of the Divine Master; the other, that in this manifestation of His will you have lost sight of our unworthiness, and have come around us with such an ex pression of your fraternal charity and filial acceptance of the choice of the Sovereign Pontiff, as to leave nothing we could desire. To our Venerable Chapter of the Metro politan Church of Westminster, to the Reverend the Secu lar Clergy of the Diocese, and to the Religious Orders, and we must not fail to add, to the faithful of every condition, from the highest to the poorest, who have been forward in their filial and loving sympathy, we desire now to offer our heartfelt thanks, and to implore for them the abundant graces of our Heavenly Father. If anything were needed to demonstrate the unity of the true and living Church, and to dissipate In confusion the dreams—perhaps the wishes — of those who watch us, it would be the manly Christian C atholic loyalty, docility, and obedience as of soldiers to their Chief with which you all, Reverend and dear brethren, as one body, and you, dear children in the grace of Jesus Christ, whether born of our noble and invincible stock of Confessors and Martyrs, or called at the eleventh hour by the loving kindness of our Redeemer, have all alike ranked yourselves in one array to support us, who before God can have no claim upon your love or your allegiance, save that the Vicar of Jesus Christ has invested us with the mission and office of the Apostles. And here we would affection ately and gratefully ask you to bear with us, and not to harbour for a moment the thought that we have been in sensible to the expressions of kindness and confidence which have reached us in these last days, by word and by letter. They have so far exceeded in number both our time and power to onswer them in writing, that we can only ask you to wait until, either by letter or in person, we can hereafter express to your our gratitude. Thus much we have felt bound in conscience before God to say in rendering you our thanks. It would be a cheap and trivial thing to use professions of devotedness to you in return. We have no more ardent desire that to die in the midst of the flock, pastors, and sheep together, like the great Pastor and Father of this Diocese who is now resting in the midst of us. A few short years—and short they must be—spent like the many years of his great Pontificate, under the splendour of his memory, and in the path which he has traced for us,—this is the most fervent prayer we make to the tender love of our Divine Master. Having already had twice, in the most public manner tlaa happiness of expressing the love and veneration we bear to our late illustrious Pastor and Father, we have purposely refrained from doing so again at this time. Nevertheless, we cannot forbear in this place to say with what joy we made it our public act to promote the building of the Cathedral which your gratitude and love has resolved to erecr to his memory. All that we can do to forward this work of your filial piety shall be done with our whole heart. Bear with us for speaking thus far of ourselves. It has been forced upon us by our first entrance among you, and by your charity. I may say " Vos me coegistis." If fault there be, it is your kindness which has caused it. And as it is the first time, so we hope it may be the last. It would be a fault to say less, or more. We will now turn to other thoughts, which from henceforth will be our our daily work. therefore,.committed the care of the flock not to His angels, who excel in strength, but to us who must first be washed in His most precious Blood ; that so, we may have com passion upon those who sin and are out of the way. In such a land as this, reverend and dear brethren, we have especial need to bear in mind this provision of Hi mercy. It is not enough for us to wield in our hands the perfect truth ; we must also bear in our hearts the more perfect charity. " More truth, more charity" is an axiom of the science of Jesus. Truth without charity wounds, inflames, and repels. Truth spoken in charity illuminates heals, and subdues. Truth is keen and severe in itself, and wce to us if we poison its edge by human passion or controversial bitterness. In such a land as this, and in the midst of such spiritual confusions, the mere enun ciation of the one holy Faith, out of which is no salvation, is sharp and wounding to the susceptibilities and prejudices of men. But in this we have no choice. " A necessity lieth upon me, for woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel." They will impute to you the sharpness which belongs to your message. Speak as you will, with tha gentleness of S. Francis of Sales, or the sweetness of S. Philip Neri, they will arraign you of bitterness. Only let us, then, give no occasion by personal heat, or biting words, or asperity of tone. Charity and patience, with an inflexible witness to the presence and voice of a Divine Teacher, Who calls on all men to submit as disciples to His guidance, will at last win souls on whom all the gifts and cultivation of the natural order fall powerless. We have this en ceuragement. The work of God in England can not be stayed. " Verbum Dei non est alliga tum." " The Word of God is not bound." No chains can bind it, no human will arrest its expansion. The perfect revelation of the Day of Pentecost, with its proper motives of credibility, has once more fairly entered into the intelligence of the English people. • It is possess ing itself gradually and irristibly of a large sphere in pub lic opinion. It manifests itself not only to those who, day by day, submit to it in faith, but even to those who hesi tate, gainsay, resist, and reject it. A generation ago, who ever heard of the Catholic doctrine but a few retired men among their books, or here and there some simple person converted as by a special providence of God ? Not so now. The work of the faith in Englafid is not the work of individuals upon individuals, but of the Church upon the intelligence of English men. Multitudes who aro separated from the Catholic Church, and actively opposed to it, are dail becoming con scious of its presence, of its voice calling them to faith, of its doctrines, above all of its unity in the midst of their di visions, and of its expansion in the midst of the advancing dissolution of all other religious systems. It is surely - by a disposition of the Divine Head of the. Church, that in the heart of the nineteenth century, when both the intellects and the wills of men have reached an excess of unbelief and of licence in matters of revelation, of morals, and of poli tics, that the Vicar of our Lord, the Teacher of all Chris tians,—as the Council of Florences entitles him—should twice in these last years, have spoken with the voice infallible Truth; thereby testifying not only to the singular prerogative which, as the first fruits of grace was bestowed upon the Immaculate Mother of God, and to the great constructive principles of morality and jurispru dence on which the Christian world is founded, but also to the perpetual assistance of the Spirit of God, by whose light the Church and its Pontiffs, in all ages, now as in the beginning, discern and declare the limits of falsehood and of truth. The Dogmatic Bull of the Immaculate Con ception, and the Encyclical of last year, will, we believe, mark an epoch in the reconstitution of the Christian order of the world. The wise and learned may deride us. We can well afford to wait till the derision of the nineteenth century is buried with the heresies of the last eighteen. If the task before us is difficult by reason of personal infirmity, it is easy in itself. We have no new mission to commence, no theology to construct, no principles to find. The living Church of God moves on majestic and change less from age to age. A great pastor goes to his reward ; a lesser enters in his place ; but all personal Inequalities are lost in the immutable and divine office of the Church. The same divine faith, the same mind, the same Catholic spirit, with all its delicacy of instinct, tact, and sensitive purity, guides and sustains the Church in England as in Rome, in the nineteenth century as in the first. We have nothing but what we have received. We have re ceived all that Jesus communicated to His Church, in which we lose ourselves to be reproduced by it again with a life and light derived from its own. In England this is emphaticall true. Your ancestors of the last three hundred years have upon them the aureoles of martyrdom, exile, ignominy, and the cross. In no part of the Catholic Unity is there to be found a Church which is more ennobled by the recent victories and splendours of its children. Nothing could have survived the storm but "the Victory which overcometh the world, our Faith." The " remnant saved according to the election of grace" yet lives on, transmitting with its life, its instincts, and spirit of fidelity to the truth and to the Apostolic See. And this remnant has received again its perfect organisa tion, and is expanding once more with an even and steady growth. With such a Divine power in our handf, what can be difficult ? There is nothing we may not hope for, nothing we may not ask of the Lord of the Harvest. And for this our late lamented Pastor, with the largeness and foresight which marked all his administration, has made an abundant provision by multiplying the centres of ecclesiastical and corporate agency. These permanent works are the strongholds of the truth, and the guarantees of a future which the world may deride, but every Catho lic heart can forecast. To these two grounds of confidence we must not forget to add a third, namely, the labour of a body of priests as simple, as exemplary, and as unworldly as any clergy in the world. Add to this once more, the fidelity, generosity, devotion, and piety of a laity, who bear worthily the names of their ancestors, and are true witnesses of the inextinguishable faith of Ireland in all iti.sorrows, and of the constancy of England in all the humiliations of the Catholic name. We can bear testimony from personal knowledge in these last years to the deep and fervent piety which animates the Catholics of London in every condition of life, from the highest to the humblest. Thus far, indeed, the work is easy. Beyond this all is arduous. The mission of the Church to London and to the English people has nothing analogous since the mission of the Church to Rome and its imperial race. If S. Paul so loved his kinsmen according to the flesh that he would willingly have been anathema from Christ for their sal vation, we need not be ashamed of the love we bear to our separated brethren. In the supernatural order the Church is our native land ; and in the natural, our mother country. We love both, but with a discriminating charity ; the higher and the lower with a due and proportionate subordination. There can be no collision between these two orders of duty, unless the one or the other deviate from the principles of its constitution. This the Church of God cannot do. This, alas, three hundred years ago, our rulers and country did. his, unhappily, thereby -at variance with the first principles of the unity, authority, and infalli bility of the Church of God, tvhich are more precious than life itself. The Catholic Church in England would not be aggressive, if England were within the light and unity of the Catholic Church. We have no aggressive aims but those which inspired the Apostles when they went forth to convert the world, and to gather the nations into the bene dictions and peace of eternal life. Much less have we im placable hostilities except ; against sin and falsehood, and whatsoever dishonours God and destroys the soul of man. We are, indeed, alwaysin controvery,but wo are not controversi alists. Life is too short for polemical encounters to amuse the idle. It is one of the devices of the enemy of souls to di vert attention, and to waste time. When our divine Lord sent forth his disciples He said, "Salute no man by the way." And surely the inflexible and unrelaxing execution of our great errand forbids us to turn aside and to lose time and opportunity, if not souls, in battles of words. Our controversy is of another character, such as none can ven ture except they who speak under the guidance of a Divine Voice ; who con say, as the Prophets and Apostles said of old, without possibility it error, " Thus saith the Lord." The Church teaches with authority, calm, precise, and positive. And the conscience in men, and the Spirit of God in the conscience, respond to the Divine Voice. Let such be our promulgation of the Eternal Truths, in sea son, and out of season, casting the seed by all waters, going onward, waiting the time of the harvest after many days. None but the Church of God can so speak to the nations of the world. Whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, they know that the Voice claims to bo not of man but of God. And every way God is glorified, oven when wo seem most to fail, when men reject our word, and cast out our names as evil, even then the witness of Jesus is accomplished ; and in our weakness and isolation, in the midst of a lordly world, we may say with calmness and holy fear the words of the Apostle—" Thanks be to God who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that aro saved and in them that Perish. To the one, indeed, the odour of death unto death; but to the others, the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is suffi aient." But this divine mission, so severe in its separation for life or for death, has been committed to those who, need ing mercy, have learned to show mercy. The Good Shep herd, because ho is compassed with our infirmities, knows how to have pity upon the weak and the tempted. Ile has, Nor is it in the intellectual order that the Catholic Faith is invading the mind of our country. It is penetrating even more deeply into the spiri tual consciousness of the people. Let a handful of unreaaonable pietists or of antiquated controversialists say what they will, the English people do not believe us to be idolaters nor anti-Christs. Our Churches are open to them. They have seen the Divine Worship of the Holy Mass with their own eyes, and heard the words of our Pastors with their own ears. There is a widespread re action from the traditions which the blindness and deaf ness of religious prejudice has so long propagated. Since the end of the last century there has been a pro found reawakening of the minds of men. With some little extravagance, indeed, the religious sense of England has been stirred into an earnest belief of the eternal truths. Men are looking about for a Guide in the way of salvation ; for a Teacher to whom they they may intrust their souls; for a Church which knows what it means, and means what it says ; for a hierarchy which is not divided ; for a keeper of holy writ who guards every jot and every tittle of the Sacred Books ; for an In terpreter who does not contradict himself; for Pastors who, day by day, in all the world, absolve sinners in the Con f esssional, but require confession of sin by a divine and universal law as a condition of absolution ; for a deep in interior, evangelical life after the pattern of the Gospel, when men, taking Jesus at His word, sold all that they had and followed their Master ; for a - Religion which is one and the same in every place ane in every nation under heaven; in perfect harmony with itself, the only perfect interpreta tion of the Holy Scripture, in all its commandments, pre cepts, and counsels, and therefore the only Scriptural religion. It will not long be doubtful where these things are alone to be found. When another generation has effaced the scars of old prejudices, it is certain that the common sense, just judgment, and straightforward manliness, of English men will turn to the only Voice in the midst of them which never falters, to the only system which is coherent and true to itself. But we must never forget that over all these intellectual and spiritual currents of the natural order there is a super natural ministry of grace and power disposing all things for the sake of the Elect. Lights, inrpirations, impulses, penetrating' fears of the Divine Presence, drawings and benedictions of the Divine love are ever at work upon the intelligence, the heart, the conscience, and the will of this great people. Truth seems to hang in the air, and to descend by no discoverable law upon individuals and households, in seasons the least looked for, and in ways the least foreseen. What is all this reverend and dear breathren, but the grace and visitation of Him who shed His most precious blood for the souls which crowd and die in this great city ? We are workers together with Him : a mission arduous but blessed. To save one soul is reward enough for a life of toil ; to gather many into life eternal is beyond all we dare to ask. And yet it is promised to us : " They that are learned shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that instruct many to justice as the stars to all eter nity." Happy are they to whom this work of grace and peace has been committed as to you. And happy are we in knowing that day by day, at all hours, we may say day and night, often without the rest necessary for health and life, you are labouring for the salvation of the flock for which we must give account. Though most unworthy to be set over you, yet God is witness, we have no more heart felt and fervent desire than to live and labour to the end as we have in the years that are past f e ebly indeed, but gladly "spending and b e i ng spent" with you for the souls for whom Christ died. And now, Dear Brethren and Children in Jesus Christ, the law of the Universal Church which binds its Pastors in the bonds of filial dependence to the Successor of S. Peter, the Fountain of all jurisdiction over souls, but for a special permission of the Holy Father would have obliged us to leave y ou f ora season. Though wa have received from the hand s o f our Brethren of the Province the Episco pal character, we cannot ex erc i se t h e f u l ness of jurisdiction until we hav e received either in person or by proxy from the hands of th e V icar of our Lord the Pallium which both signifies and conveys our participation in the fulness of the Pastoral office. It will be our desire to ask hereafter in person this last grace of the Sovereign Pontiff, and to re turn as we may. N or can we feel that by such an absence w il e Y shall be w an ti ng in anything to you, be cause tls seedily sew we are assured that in no way, under God, can we be rendered less unworthy to minister to you than by flist seek ing of Him, who represents on earth our Divine Master, the ight and guidance which flows from His Apostolical Benediction : and because we know that the unity and prosperity of the Church depends upon the most inti mate unior, with its visible Head, and that not visibly alone, but inwardly by a conformity of both the intel lect and the will to his mind and spirit. The perfection of a Christian is docility to the Divine Voice, and the organ Of that Divine Voice is the Church speaking by its Head. This the men of the world call feeble, unmanly, and slavish, an abnegation of personal conviction and personal independence. You have received anoteer Gospel in which the most masculine intellect, and th e mos t in flexible will learns to exercise its fullest powers in their amplest liberty with the mind of a little child, and the docility of a Disciple. Such is the spirit we have learned of you, and such is the filial dependence which unites us, both Pastor and Flock, to the tittered Person of the Vicar of the Son of God. Finally, Dear Brethren and Children in Christ, we com mend ourselves to your charity and to yur prayers, in full confidence that you will obtain for us the graces we need to serve you in the truth and love of Jesus Christ : especially we would ask you to intercede for us in the Presence of our Divine Redeemer in the Holy Sacrifice, and to commend us to the :prayers of our Blessed and Immaculate Mother. We, 'on our part, will bear you affectionately in mind when we ask for ourselves and for the Flock committed to us the happily in the midst of the long perturbations of a glorious Pontificate. reignin g of our Lord Jesus blessing Meanwhile wecommend u r Holy Fa t you r , t r o e i t g h n e Christ,and to the sanctification of the One (Tod over all f or Bl esse d f or ever.

Holy to the ciho love st, of the , Father, Given at Westminster this Bth day of June, in the year 1865, being Thursday within the Octave of Pentecost, and the day of our Consecration ; and ordered to be read in all Churches and Chapels of the Diocese on Trinity Sunday, when the Annual Collection will be made for the Church Building Fund. UENRY EDWARD, Archbishop Elect. ! Jowl CANON MORRIS, Secretary. The company were again represented by most of the leading officials of the line, with Mr. Grierson, the general manager, at their head. Mr. Tyrrill alone was absent. Mr. Chandler, solicitor, of Shrewsbury, was again present, re presenting the relatives of Miss Jones, deceased, and cer tain of the injured persons. After some further evidence had been given, the room was then cleared, and in somewhat over an hour and a quarter afterwards the jury wore prepared with their ver dict, which the foreman read as follows : "We bring in a verdict of accidental death. We find that there is great blame attached to the officials ,of the Great Western Railway Company in not providing suffi cient brake power before leaving Chester, and in . not pro viding better carriages and engines in its excursion train. We consider that the enginemen wore guilty of gross and culpable negligence in not attending to the signal put up by the platelayers ; and we believe that the enginemen were going at too great a speed over a defective portion of the :line between Babbin's Wood-bridge and the scene of the accident. We think the platelayers were also guilty of gross and culpable negligence in not properly and suffi ciently packing the sleepers so as to make them secure enough to bear so heavy a train as the excursion train at the pace the train was then going." The Coroner—By the word " culpable," you do not mean wilful ? The Foreman—We exclude the word " wilful." We have studiously avoided using the word wilful, because we did not intend to return a verdict of manslaughter. The Coroner—lt is not, in my opinion, a verdict of manslaughter at all. The Foreman—" Gross" is not wilful, in proof whereof we have had the dictionary, and hero it is in the room ; and if the lawyers can make anything else of it they may. We hope the verdict will give as much satisfaction to the public as it does to ourselves. We have very carefully considered all the circumstances. Mr. Jones, on behalf of tho company, desired that tho coroner should place upon the record the specific statement of the jury that they studiously avoided returning a ver dict of manslaughter. Mr. Grierson then addressed the Court. He said—l need scarcely say, on behalf of the directors, that this very un fortunate accident will be a source of the deepest regret to them; and with regard to the verdict, which will of course be laid before them, I may state—particularly with regard to the first portion of it—that the directors are, if possible, more anxious than the public can be to provide for the safe and efficient working of the line, and that ever since the present board has been in office, which has not been long, they have devoted the greatest amount of attention and anxiety to the subject, with the view of preventing such unfortunate occurrences as these ; and they have autho rised the construction of continuous brakes to the trains, which are thought the most efficient for the purpose of stop ping them under ordinary circumstances, particularly, in special cases, such as the present. Some of them are already attached to the trains, and others are being constructed as rapidly as possibly. They have also authorised the exten sion of the telegraph arrangements over the line, the appli cation of the improved locking apparatus to the signals and points, and generally to the most improved means calulated to insure the% safe and efficient working of the line, as shown to bo desirable and necessary by experience, and as recommended by Captain Tyler and the' other Government inspectors; but, of course, in a large system like the Great Western, it required time to carry these improvements out ; but I can assure the jury, and through them the public, that everything will be done by the directors to insure safety and comfort on their lines. It was now past nine o'clock, and it was arranged that rather than detain the jury longer, they should assemble again on Monday at the Redual station to complete the in quiry in the terms that the law required. THE WANDERING MINSTRELS. —These distin guished amateurs, who have so often efficiently em ployed their musical powers to advance the cause of charity, are again about to aid one of our useful institutions, by playing (under the able leadership of their president, the Hon. Seymour Egerton) at a concert which is to be given on Tuesday evening next, at the Hanover-square Rooms, in aid of the funds of the Home for Gentlewomen, Queen square. On this occasion the minstrels will be reinforced by the West London Madrigal Society, so that there will be a strong muster of instrumentalists and vocalists. It ap pears from the published reports of the institution that it was originated in 1849 and that it has been of great service to the class for whose benefit it was designed. Of the ladies assisted during the last 16 years there have been of the widows and daughters of merchants, 33 per cent.; of land owners and private gentlemen, 21 per cent. ; of officers in the army and navy, 14 per cent.; and of clergymen, physi cians and surgeons, solicitors, artists, professors, Govern ment officers and surveyors, together, 82 per cent. It is to be ardently hoped that the efforts of these two musical societies will be largely productive of good to the benevo lent institution which it is desired to assist. _ -------- THE SALE OF J ULES GERARD'S GUNS, hunting knives, &c., at the Hotel Drouot, has been a serious disappointment to his aged mother.

HAMMERSMITH AND CITY. A special meeting of this company was held on Friday at the office, Bedford-street, Strand, Mr. Foakes in the chair. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, resolutions were unanimously passed authorising the directors to exercise the borrowing powers of the company to the amount of £20,000 under the Companies Act, 1863, on such terms as they might deem best for the interests of the company ; and also empowering the directors to convert the 6,000 5 per cent. Irre deemable preference shares of £lO each into a 5 per cent. irredeemable preference stock of the company of like amount. BRECON AND MERTHYR. A special meeting of this company was held on Friday, at the office, Bank-buildings, Lothbury, Mr. Banks in the chair ; for the consideration of certain bills now before Parliament. The CHAIRMAN said he regretted that the bill for authorising the company to make an extension of the Crickhowell Railway had been thrown out by the committee, and that the remaining bills were not sufficiently advanced to be submitted to the meeting. He complained of the great delay which had taken place this session in dealing with railway bills, and said the consequence would be that a large number of the bills in the present session would be driven over to the next Parliament, to the great loss and inconvenience of the promoters and shareholders. The meeting then adjourned. SOUTH-EASTERN. The gross traffic receipts on this company's lines for the four weeks ending the 20th of May amounted to £89,065, from which was deducted £2,523 for collecting and delivering goods, leaving £86,542.

On Thursday afternoon Mr. Edwin Chadwick de livered the second of his lectures at the Royal Insti tution on the physical and moral condition of the English wage classes. A great portion of the lec ture was directed to the - refutation of the opinion expressed by Adam Smith, Mr. Stuart Mill, and other political economists, of the incompatibility of manual labour with the best exercise of the intel lectual faculties. A certain amount of bodily labour is necessary to the maintenance of health, and when the health is injured, the powers of the intel lect are also impaired ; therefore the exercise of the muscles, if not in excess, is favourable to the exer cise of the mind. Luxury and idleness are destruc tive to mental effort as well as to health, and it has been always found that when men who have been accustomed to manual labour become rich and leave off their former occupations, they deteriorate in con dition, both bodily and mental—increase of wealth being their bane. Not only is manual labour com patible with the highest exercise of the mind, but the two may sometimes be carried on advantageously at the same time. He mentioned as an illustration that a manufacturer noticed that the men in one room in his factory had greatly improved in the work they turned out ; and on inquiring into the circumstance he ascertained that anidle apprentice had entertained the men by reading to them, and the excitement thus produced had stimulated their manual efforts, and the consequence was that he compelled the apprentice to continue to do as a task what he had been doing from disinclination to work. The effect is similar, Mr. Chadwick observed, to that of the sound of music in steadying and stimulating soldiers in march ing. There are, he said, several political economists who are pessimists, and conceive that the wage classes are becoming worse and worse, that the supply of labour is increasing more rapidly than the demand, and that ultimately there must be a want of food. Mr. Chadwick thought there were no sufficient grounds for such an opinion, and that with "the in creased introduction of machinery the condition of the wage class is improving. He showed that bathe introduction of steam power and machinery more skilled labour is required to attend to it, and it is paid a higher price. The capitalist who has invested a large sum of money in providing complicated machinery, cannot afford to let it be injured by employing incompetent persons to attend to it, and thus there has arisen a demand for a higher k class of workmen. He adduced as an instance of the wonderful effects of machinery in re ducing the art of manufacture, the compe tition between Manchester calico and the native product in the Indian market. At Calicut, where cotton is grown, it is spun by the distaff by women, who receive for their daily wages only a few hand fuls of rice. The yarn is then woven by a weaver who pays no rent, but spreads his loom on the ground under a tree ; and the calico thus cheaply produced on the spot where the cotton is grown , cannot compete in price with the Manchester calico, though in the production of the latter immense sums had been expended in transport and carriage, in machinery to spin and weave the cotton taken from the same place, and in much higher paid wages to the men employed. The course of events, Mr. Chad wick observed, often flows differently from what is the anticipated result of given causes. Thus it was predicted that the distress caused by the cotton famine in Lancashire would produce a great preva lence of fevers and disease, but the result had con tradicted that anticipation, for the consequence of taking so many families from the mills, where they had been crowded together, had been to diminish the usual amount of disease in the district. One of the effects of distress also was that it stimulated improvements in manufacturing processes ; for when a manufacturer is prosperous he is inclined to let well alone ; and it is only when the demand for his goods slackens, and he is met with formidable com petition, that he seeks to improve his manufactur ing processes. Mr. Chadwick's programme for his next and last lecture comprises among other im portant considerations " the future of the wage classes." The Merchant Navy of Italy, interesting article in the Semaphore of Marseilles says " the merchant navy of Italy is already powerful, and, owing to the new organisation of the country, is destined to attain higher reputation than hitherto. A country which has a vast extent of coasts, and in which the roads have hitherto been bad, naturally utilised that route which is always open—the sea, and became a navi gator. How important the part which the Italian mercan tile navy has hitherto taken in the navigation of the Mediterranean and the adjacent seas is well known. But that navy now goes further—it occupies a place which, though restricted, deserves to bo noted in dis tant navigation. Its vessels reach the two Americas and Africa, though rarely going beyond Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. About 1862 the Italian mercantile navy consisted of 16,500 vessels, of 666,024 tons, divided thus : No. of Vessels. Tonnage. Above 1,000 tons ... 2 2,092 From 901 to 1,000 tons ... „ 801 „ 900 „ ... 2 ... 2,620 „ 701 „ 800 „ 6 4,473 „ 601 „ 700 „ ... 14 ... 9,057 „ 501 „ 600 „ ... 20 ... 10,730 „ 401 ~ 600 „ 76 ... 32,297 „ 301 „ 400 „ 347 ... 116,837 „ 201 „ 300 „ 715 ... 181,586 „ 101 „ 200 „ 878 119,746 „ 61 „ 100 „ 730 53,887 „ 81 „ 60 „ ... 1,414 ... 59,078 „ 21 „ 30 „ 786 ... 18,663 ~ 11 „ 20 „ ... 1,768 26,154 Below 10 tons ... 9,742 ... 29,804 The number of men on board these vessels, or engaged in maritime industries, was 137,360-13,465 being captains or masters, 232 builders, 86,614 sailors, 5,864 boys or workmen of ports, 5,790 boatmen, and 25,275 fisher men. It would be desirable to examine how these vessels and men aro employed in order to appreciate the possible effects of Italian competition in the general navigation of Europe; but, before entering into that matter, let us see what they do in their own ports. With respect to Genoa, the most important commercial port of Italy, and which is the rival of Marseilles, the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa publishes a return, which shows that, during the last six years, shipping has con stantly progressed : Vessels—Entries and Clearings. Tonnage. Increase. 1850 1860 1861 1862 1863 1864 It is thus seen that the increase has been considerable since the war of 1859. It is, without doubt, the return of Lom bardy to Italy which must be considered as the principal and most essential cause of this advance. The commercial movement has been cli;placed in consequence of the change in the customs' frontier. The latter approaching the Adria tic has made commereo desert Venice, and has induced it to go to Genoa, which consequently has profited largely, its trade having increased by 1,169,309 tons from 1860 to 1864.” SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

Tattersall's book on Saturday afternoon might be pointed to, if money be the criterion, as an un questionable proof of the flourishing condition of the Turf, There were 71 lots in all, and they realised 26,078 guineas, an average of upwards of 367 each. This must be considered very good. The sums one or two of the brood mares rea lised were almost unprecedented; 1,500 guineas for Con tadina, the dam of King Hal, and for whose possession there was sharp fighting between the Marquis of Hastings and Mr. Jackson; 1,300 for Cantine ; and 1,000 for Doralice have not often been surpassed. Some of the old mares were of course "given away," but most of those foaled within the last 10 years brought sums that fairly surprised many of the best judges, especially as their produce have in some instances done nothing. The royal yearlings were certainly, taken as a whole, very good-looking, the St. Albans small, but showing the Stockwell mark in most of them. Tho Theodora colt was a great beauty, and caused some spirited competition before it was knocked down to Mr. Pardee for 800 guineas. The high-priced one of the lot—the colt by Newminster, Bracey—did not, as is often the case, bear away the palm in every one's estimation, but the sale commanded the interest of the afternoon from the keen contest for his possession between the Marquis of Hastings and Mr.Hrhaplin, the undoubted "stayers," who are not easily diverted from their purpose by such trifles as a hundred or two, more or less. Mr. Chaplin was the successful ono on this occasion, and secured the prize for 1,500 guineas. Lord Hastings bought a very promising-looking filly by St. Albans—Eulogy, a trifle light below the knee, but showing great quality, for 650 guineas, and the sister to Chattanooga, though somewhat short and slack in the loins, bids fair to turn out a racer. Mr. Padwick gave 600 guineas for her. The snm realised for the Queen's yearlings was 8,571 guineas, an average of about 343 each. Mr. Greville's Contadina colt, whose dam fetched the top price among the mares, was considered the pick of his lot, and was put in by Mr. Jackson at £3OO directly he ap peared. Of course Lord Hastings, who had bought the dam, and last year gave a high figure for her colt King Hal, must have the rest of the family, and after some sharp firing secured him for 1,500 guineas. His lordship also bought a remarkably fine filly, if not the finest yearling there, by Newminster—Barcelona, with grand quarters and loins, a magnificently-topped animal, for 950 guineas. Lord Stam ford showed his judgment in purchasing the colt by New minster—Muscovite's dam, a powerful-lookipg young one, with plenty of bone and substance. 6,266 guineas was the sum realised for the yearlings, and upwards of 329 guineas the average—a great increaso on former years. The business commenced early ; it was not over till late in the afternoon, an hour having been devoted to the Royal hospitality in the shape of an excellent luncheon, provided this yeas in a spacious marquee. A sale with such satisfac tory pecuniary results has not been held for some time in the pleasant paddocks of Hampton Court.

SPORTING NOTES. The Royal Meeting at Ascot, which commences to-mor row, bids fair to outrival any of its predecessors. The Prince of Wales, ft is expected, will honour the meeting with his presence on Tuesday and Thursday. The Ascot Stakes has twenty-six horses engaged, being nearly double the acceptances of last year. By a singular coincidence the turned-loose MOOSE has exactly the same weight to carry, —viz., 7st 11b—as Tom Parr's Mortimer, a horse that was in the same stable as Moose now is (who ran Scythian to a head in the Chester Cup) and afterwards Nvon this race in 1855, both being five-yr-olds. If in anything like the form he displayed last with Honest John at Edinburgh in the• Queen's Plate, I shall look no further for the winner. Nuneaton looks like being reserved for the Royal Hunt Cup, or he would be dangeroua amongst the very moderate lot of horses that will contest the race. The same remark applies to Hollyfox, who is reserved for some large handi cap, but if supported for this race I would re commend the public to follow suit. Both Hippo lyta and Tomata are out of form. Cobweb, although she ran fourth for the Oaks,. I have no fancy for. Alabama belongs to Mr. Ten Broeck, who is always to be feared when he backs his horses in earnest. But, as I have already stated, I shall entirely rely on MOOSE to fur nish the winner, only fearing HOLLYFOX to upset my calcula tions. The Prince of Wales Stakes should be won by BREAD ALBANE or ARCHMEDEs, as both of them have a 71b. allow ance. If Baron Rothschild sends Janitor for the Eighth Ascot Biennial Stakes, he cannot fail to win, as he has escaped a penalty. The Eleventh Ascot Biennial has both Ely and Baragah engaged, and one of them ought to fur nish the winner, most probably the latter, as Ely, it is staked, has thrown a curb. Blue Mantle, Saccharometer, and Queen of Trumps are the three most favourably weighted for the Queen's Stand Plate, as Geinma has in curred a penalty. The Royal Hunt Cup has an enormous entry. Gem of the Sea won it last year, and has now only 71b more to carry. Nuneaton, as I have said before, will be reserved for this race in preference to the Ascot Stakes, and if I couple Union Jack, Madcap, Finesse, and Windham with him, I think the winner will be found amongst them. King Charming ought to win the Ascot Derby. Thurs day's and Friday's races I shall refer to either to-morrow or on Wednesday ; but my impression at the present time is that DOLLAR will win the Ascot Cup. A FRESH MAN. CITY BETTING—Tars DAY.

Rarely of late years have the Royal paddocks witnessed so important and interesting a sale as that presided over by the Messrs. Tattersall on Saturday last. In addition to her Majesty's yearlings and those of the late Mr. Greville, the brood mares of that gentleman were also brought to the hammer, and from the high estimation entertained of them by their owner their was a very keen comp3tition for their possession. the [ys, ers' sh- the heir yea a nd tion ving xiai-x -)yn, pr o " lay, ,tic- a in ,ng, ;a ny oni- DO' MC' tin 0011. ser a bY, nee: r tho ud )1 11lb T 1 ; the _ al' ) vitl° the soc b ' 0 0 1 50°' be' A c- Le a to , e vo 1 !toe ~ On'; 100 10 1,0 10 100 100 00 10.) 100 100 190 100 100 10 100 100 32! 3.10.6 7.1.6 10.6.71 18.18 .91 30.17.6 3.12.8 8 584 7 1331 i 1471 1:41 12.1 13.51 112} 71 1091 A
