The news from the Continent is now decreasing in interest and importance, but still there are con stantly some details which engage attention, in consequence of all that has to be done. The King of PRUSSIA has received the members of the Upper House, who came in a deputation to present the address in reply to the speech from the Throne. His MAJESTY has also been much engaged in giving interviews to Foreign Ministers, no doubt for the purpose of settling the various an nexations and changes that are to take place. In the Lower House the cogunittee on the Bill for the elections to a German Parliament met, and the Government informed them concern ing their intentions in the future. The whole of Prussia is to belong to the new Confederation, and a bin is to be drawn up in conjunction with the other Confederate Governments to determine the completing of the new Bund. The aim of the authorities was to send the Government Commis sioner to bring about a material as well as personal union of the annexed States with Prussia. It is some satisfaction to find that the Berlin Government have decided not to annex any portion of Hesse- Darmstadt, which will retain all its present territory. The provinces to the right of the Maine will, however, form part of the North German Con federation. Some modification has also taken place in the demands for territorial acquisitions of Lich tenfels and Culmbach. It is indeed high time that there should be some appearance of propriety manifested in one direction or another, for people bad begun to wonder when and where they would see the end of Prussian encroachments and require ments. There is no doubt that the French people are much disappointed at the turn of affairs, and regard the result of the war as a failure. Of course this feeling is heightened by the circumstance that they had expected a great deal of interest and excitement from it, but they have seen the Power they dislike and doubt gradually advancing to the summit of influence, and acquiring an increase of territory far beyond what was expected or believed to be possible in so short a time. A very discon tented feeling prevails in Paris respecting the course pursued by Prussia, and the confusion that has arisen concerning the rectification of the frontier question has naturally tended to increase the evil. Some day the Prussians will better apprcciato all this disfavour that they have drawn upon themselves than they are likely to do now, elated as they are by success, and puffed up by self-conceit until they hardly know what they are about, and care little or nothing for what is said of them. The semi .official journal, the Pays, alludes to the circum stance of the discontent prevailing in Paris, that Prussian arguments should be sufficient to outweigh the wishes of the French people. It is there said that "if the French people do entertain one fer vent wish at present, that wish is anything but for peace. There can be no doubt that it would be far easier at present for the Imperial Govern ment to lead the French people to war against Germany, than to induce them to Put up quietly with the changes about to take place there to the profit of Prussia." Those who flatter themselves that Prussia will have all the game to herself will eventually find themselves mistaken, because when the great gains she has now acquired are consolidated, she is certain to push her preten sions to such an extent that the French, already most irrascible on the point, will became too indig nant to brook the matter any longer. Under the best management we believe that it would be diffi cult to avoid coming into collision with France, but as things are carried on by the Berlin Government it seems impossible that offence should not be taken sooner or later. The accounts from New Zealand are, upon h ie whole, encouraging, and the news brought by the mail tells us no longer of siege and surrender, o f plot and counterplot, of flying columns and strong entrenchments. If we had still the same exciting narrative, our attention would probably be diverted from it by the more pressing claims of European polities, since the independence of our colonists was never really in jeopardy. At the same time we cannot but feel great satisfaction at the termination of hostilities, not only on account of the present expense and inconvenience to the colonists, but be- , cause a war of that kind offers such formidable ob-.. stacles to the social progress and internal develop-. , went of a young State. It is impossible for tralie and commerce to thrive, for industry to prospcx,, for agriculture to be profitably pursued, and for any' of the arts of peace to flourish, amid the disturb ances and excitements of any war, more especially of a war :with semi-savages in a half - cultivatei State, where the suburban population have to tak e refuge in the towns, and in which the great idea •of the enemy is to lay in wait and to destroy. IL is encouraging therefore to those who interest them selves in the future of New Zealand to learn from Wellington that not only does the north island re main quiet, but that tribe after tribe continue to send in expressions of their desire for peace, They arc sometimes unwilling to make a formal submis sion, owing to the degradation which they consider is involved in the admission of having been con quered, and it is not thought necessary to extort this from them, but those on the spot feel neverthe less confident of their future pacific intentions. The tone of the relations between the white men and the natives is said to be altered, and whereas the colonists used to complain before the war that every one was afraid to interfere with the Maories, who were suffered to insult and despoil them as they liked, it is now stated that even the local magistrates speak with authority, and insist upon being obeyed. A strict upholding of law and order is quite consistent with a full, regard for the rights and privileges of the natives, only it will be necessary to guard against further disputes respecting the tenure of land. It should be clearly and unmistakably decided what districts belong to the natives, and they should be left in undisturbed possession. It would be well for a time at least to avoid even making any offers to purchase the land which is native property, since by so doing the whites are apt to get involved in wearisome disputes as to rights of ownership and the rival claims of tribes and families. Now that the natives have been made to feel the strength of Euro peans and have been forced into submission, it is to the interest of the colonists no less than of the Maories to preserve the hardly-earned peace. Any mere temporary advantage in the acquisition of land, or any other object, will be dearly bought by the renewal of those disturbances which not only interfere with the trade and progress of the island, but hinder immigration and damage the reputation of the country. Industrial and respectable me chanics, artisans, and agriculturists emigrating with their families are the very people whom New Zea land most wants ; but it cannot be expected that they will be likely to select a new country that is disturbed and unsafe, in which they will be liable to native attacks, and may be called on to bear the expenses of a war. An interesting incident in re lation to this question of immigration is mentioned in the news just received from New Zealand. Bishop MONRAD, formerly Prime Minister of Denmark, has been visiting at Government House. The object of his visit has been to settle his sons near Wellington, and to report the advantages which the colony offers to the many Danish families who are anxious to avoid the results of the war in their own country. New Zealand possesses many attractions for a quiet pastoral people, and they would form a useful addi tion to the population. The colony has every pro spect of a fair and prosperous future, if only the renewal of internal disturbances can be avoided, and this we trust may be done by a wise combina tion of firmness and conciliation, and by strict justice in the division of the lands. It is quite impossible to understand the doings Of the Emperor of ABYSSINIA, but the public will learn with regret that the intelligence conveyed by her MAJESTY'S steamer Victoria, on its return to Aden, was that the Rev. Mr. STEIR and the other captives had again been imprisoned, and that Mr. RASSAM had also been made a prisoner. This information is the more distressing, because it was hoped that by this time these much-tried men were set at liberty. The only conclusion we can arrive at is that they must, by some means or other, have offended the irascible potentate who now regulates their destinies. There is an account from the Times of - India, which records the meeting of Mr. RASSAM with the Emperor THEODORUS. It would seem from this that the most favourable intentions prevailed concerning the fate of the captives, but so false and fickle are these un civilised people that there is really no placing any reliance upon their doings or sayings. They are far more to be trusted when they make vows of ven geance than when they make professions of friend ship, and so those unfortunate captives and their friends have found to their cost. The particulars are not given to us of the detention of Mr. RASSAM and the prisoners who arrived subsequently to the meeting referred to. It seems almost incredible that this should have taken place after the flatteripg speeches and c omplimentary acts here recorded. Three miles from the camp Mr. RASSAM and his friends received a message that his MAJESTY would have all his officers of state to meet them, and escort them to the court. In the interview which subsequently took place nothing could exceed the courteousness of the EMPEROR, who went into details about his grievances. Exaggerated as his statements of course were, it will readily be per ceived by those who dwell upon them, that great mismanagement prevailed at the earlier stage of this business, and that the late Government con - trived by their conduct to exasperate the EMPEROR until lie scarcely seemed to know what he was about. We can also see how mistaken was the course pur sued by Mr. CAMERON and the missionaries, in in censing the authorities as they did by their unwise demeanour and excited language. The EMPEROR dwelt particularly upon the indignation he felt at their conduct, but Mr. RASSAM contrived at that time to soothe the excitable monarch. The next day, at another interview, the EMPEROR repeated his against the European p r i soners, but de clared ha re c dt r h g a e t s he was glad to see Mr. RASSAM at last. lie also gave Mr. ItAssAm a letter he had written to the Queen of ENGLAND in reply to one which that gentleman had thatbrought hhime had from forgiven her Majesty. In In this epistle he said European prisoners, and made them theov prertoeselkinitrs. RASSAM. The EMPEROR also received brought to him, and expressedhissatthisaftacetxioisntetdhere there upon as a token of the friendship be tween him and the British nation. Mr. RASSAM afterwards went with the KING and thearmytohine his way to Thoraten, where he was to await arrival of the prisoners. During this journey he had an opportunity of witnessing the fierce disposi tion of the EMPEROR, for they passed two districts which were to be destroyed, and left as a waste and a warning to other places not to provoke his wrath by their rebellion. During the conversation :they had together the EMPEROR told Mr. RASSAM why he had kept him waiting so long before seeing wished to find out if he was different lOn the other English he had known, but he ha * sa•slioNSseti he- WaS patient. Several presents were mace to Mr. RASSAM by the EMPEROR, and they parted on the best terms, the former having wisely prevented his MAJESTY from seeing the pri soners as he intended for fear of any altercation taking place. A Court was held in the tent of Mr. RASSAM, and all the released prisoners confessed CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PAnis, Monday Evdning. The Siecic comments thus upon the proceedings of the King of Prussia : " With a single stroke of the pen this great Monarch Prussianizes four independent States of Germany, the Kingdom of Hanover, the Electorate of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, and the city— formerly free—of Frankfort. This is the needle gun applied to diplomacy. These are the brutal proceedings of war, which survives the war, and in full peace overthrows the principle of nationalities, and that of popular Sovereignty. Patience ! Principles die hard. " The excellent King foresees clearly that the greater portion of the annexed will not at first be very delighted with this measure, but do those large children of peoples know exactly what is good for them ? Is it not necessary to provide for their happiness, in spite of themselves? No doubt they will complain a little ; but in the long run they will become accustomed to their new situation, and will finish by acquiring a taste for it. It will be seen that hereafter they will thank King William, that good father, for having acted with gentle violence against them. Besides, M. Bismarck declared to the Prussian Parliament, in presenting the project of law for annexing to Prussia the four States which were formerly independent, that the King will act with discretion, he will adhere to forms, and, with the aid of some regiments, he will compel those new Prussians who are fools enough not to appreciate their own happiness to hear reason. " Vanquished in Prussia, will the principle of na tionalities and popular sovereignty be more fortu nate in Italy ? Will the populations of Trentin be consulted upon the question of ascertaining whether they wish to become Italian, or if they would prefer to remain under the domination of Austria ? The future will inform us. That question, to be solved in one way or the other, will remain the Roman question with which the political world rightly be gins to be occupied. 'The termination of the Con vention of the 15th September approaches, and there is no doubt, whatever may be said at Rome, ,hat the clauses of that Convention will be faith 'ully executed as well by France as by Italy." A letter from Frankfort announces that two wretches have arrived there among the wounded from llanau, who were arrested at Bischoffsheina while in the act of robbing the dead and wounded on the field of batile. These ruffians cut off the fingers and ears of the dead in order the more easily to become possessed of their rings and ear-rings. Five of them were so employed when discovered, but they ran off. Two were shot during their flight ; the other escaped. The two prisoners, well chained, have been taken to Coblentz, where they will pro bably be shot. When taken into custody they had in their possession 14 watches and about 500 silver dollars. An attempt at assassination has been made by a pupil of the seminary of Bonne Esperarre at Mons, aged 20. He had been expelled from the school for misconduct. On Thursday morning he returned to the school, and said he wishedsto have a confiden tialth interview w e College and it Director the Abbe o f the p or e Normal g o , r e Seminary Professor i. w S i P th affability while He began a conversation tNevithhieAl s t y p and obr eugt the attention littt er was hhe suddenly i s tenin drew out a pi s t o l and dis- M. g ra l l t e s t t r h u e c k brain.hi forehead, t penetrate i n c e t h a fortunately at d i h d i m n 0 . was able to leave the room, but the assassin followed him and struck him on the head with his pistol. He ran off, but was arrested. The wounds are serious, but it is hoped will no‘ prove mortal. The Journal du Havre has a mysterious account of the finding of two bodies, one that of a mau of from 40 to 45, the other of a woman about 26. They were found in a boat on the Seine, near the old abbey of Grestain. The boat has the word Havre on the stern. It is supposed that they were murdered, and many conjectures are in c'rculation at Havre on the subject. The police are endea vouring to obtain some clue to the mystery. M. Cordier, clerk to a stockbroker, was rather badly served in return for a good action during the fete. A child was knocked down, and would have been trampled on, but M. Cordier, who is a power ful man, succeeded in extricating him, and carried THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1866. that they had done wrong, and preyed for his MAJESTY'S forgiveness. It is a sad falling off, after all these hopeful accounts to find that gloom has again overshadowed the prospect, and that Mr. EASSAM himself has been made a prisoner. The number of deaths from preventible causes amount to a very large proportion of our annual mortality. Even setting aside those occasioned by typhus and other diseases directly due to defective sanitary conditions, and taking those caused by ac cidents, we shall find the result to be . sufficiently startling. The railways have to answer for the un timely end of a good many in the course of the year, not only from the catastrophes on the lines when in full traffic, but from the numerous disasters in the course of construction, and the numbers of men who meet their deaths in crossing the lines, shunting the carriages, repairing, plate laying, &c. Many of these are due to the careless ness or disobedience of the men themselves, as is the case with a good many of those terrible mining disasters which every now and then excite our pity and horror. Sometimes, however, the accidents arise from the faults of the owners of property, from the habit some of them have of estimating money above life ; or, in other words, of think ing it of more importance that they should save a few pounds than that a man's life and limbs should be preserved from needless risk. Thus too many small shipowners send their ships round our dangerous coasts ill-found and in sufficiently manned. Often they are unseaworthy, and if the men employed venture to remonstrate they are told that their places can easily be sup plied. It is not often, however, that the men are wiser than their employers, and our wreck register may tell the result. The disasters at sea, however, are more often due to carelessness than to wilful neglect. We cannot account for the recent fearful collisions otherwise than by attribut ing great negligence to those whose duty it was to have kept the look out, since the sea was wide enough and the weather not unfavourable. A mist or sea fog may account for a collision, but if ships are to run against each other on fine clear nights, such as last Saturday, it does not say much for our improved seamanship. Among the list of deaths from proven tible causes we may certainly include those of the victims of the Holborn catastrophe. It appears from the evidence given at the inquest that there had been great ne glect on the part of the landlords. They did not, of course, anticipate a disaster like that which has occurred, but they cannot be acquitted of the moral responsibility, since they wero bound to see that the houses which they owned were at least safe to inhabit. It seems that sixteen months ago a beam fell down which had propped the wall of the house and that it was never replaced, although a neighbour had repeatedly directed atten tion to the rotten state of the building. The house was inhabited by very poor persons, who could neither afford to make repairs themselves nor to offend their landlord. How many similar cases are there in our respectable and benevolent metropolis? The landlords, however, get off with a mere verbal reproof, so that the " property," which, it seems from the evidence, ranks much higher than mere human life, is unaffected. If the loss which chari table persons are subscribing to make up to the poor homeless people were obliged to be defrayed by the landlord of the fallen house, we should hear less of such disasters. him on his shoulders out of the crowd. After doing this he almost immediately perceived that while his hands were engaged and his attention was diverted towards the child, some heartless ruffian had robbed him of his purse and his watch. Not the least of the celebrities of Paris is a street astronomer, M. Dilatilt. He is generally to be found ;n the evening in the Place Vendome, where he fixes a splendid telescope, said to have cost a thousand pounds. On the pavement he draws with chalk a sort of programme of what is to be seen dti-ing the evening. This is artistically executed in white and black, and there is sometimes much wit in the title he gives to the spectacle of the evening. The price for a peep at the moon or any of the planets is half a franc or fivepence, but, with a view to extend a taste for science among the working classes, he w; 1 1 allow a poor man to look at half price. One even;ng the Abbe Hoigno, who is equally noted for rel'gion, science, and amiab"ity, arrived in the Place Vendome. The announcement on the pavement was, " This evening the comet is visib!e." " What," said the abbe, " have you seen a comet up there?" " Yes,Monsieur l'Abbe," said M. Billault, " look through the telescope for yourself." The erudite priest mounted the ladder for the pur pose. He saw the comet perfectly, and said, " But the Observatory is not aware that there is a comet in Paris. When you discovered it in your obser vations upon the clouds, why did you not give them notice?" " The Observatory," replied M. Billault with a smile, "is in competition against me." At night M. Billault shows the moon to the Parisians when she is to be seen, and in the day he exhibits to them the spots in the sun. On some occasions he makes a good deal of money, for instance during an eclipse. He is,no vulgar man, but de scribes the planets scientifically and wittily. Some of his pavementary illustrations, if I may be allowed to coin the word, are very quaint and remarkable, and I think a little notice of this astronomer is not inappropriate, at all events in The Sun, upon which he bestows so much time and attentioi. La Liberte, remarking upon the project of law for the annexation presented to the Prussian Cham ber, says in reference to the first article, which has the words nous prenons—we take—" We take—that is candid, that is sincere—there is nothing hypocri tical about it. We take. But this right of Prussia is the right of force, and this right of force may to morrow be that of France. What will vanquished Prussia then have to oppose to her ? What can she reply to France, saying in her turn, We take?" Prince de Metternich has resigned his post as Austrian Ambassador at Paris, and will only re main here until his successor shall be appointed. Mdlle. Constance Braschi, a descendant of Pope Pius VI., has been married at Rome to Count Zucchini. It is not the Prince Hohenzollern who was at Paris last winter who has died from his wounds at Sadowa, but Antoine de Hohenzollern, third son of Prince Charles Antoine de Hohenzollern and the Princess Josephine of Baden. Prince Leopold, who was at Paris, is the eldest son. Last evening, just after my letter was posted, there was a storm of thunder and lightning which lasted till about seven o'clock. It was not very vio lent, but the rain formed a sort of mimic torrent in the streets and suburbs. To-day it has been warm and agreeable, but with dark clouds and occasional slight rain. It was a pleasant day. The libretto of " Don Car,los" has been read at the opera, and the rehearsal; will shortly take place under Verdi's personal direction. It will be recol lected that M. Faure, who was to have played a principal character written for him, has died since the opera was commenced. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—On Monday, the 23d ult., Christina Macarthur, residing with her parents at 13, Holmsc ,- oft-street, Greenock, while amusing herself on a stair at tenement 28, Ann-street, got, unobserved, outside of the rail, and in attempting to get over upon the roof of a cellar fell headlong to the paved court below, a depth of some 18ft., striking her head heavily. She was picked up by Mrs. Vosper, a neighbour, to all appearance lifeless. Dr. 111qtaild, who resides nearly opposite, was immediately in attendance, and from him we gather the following par ticulars :—" I found the child utterly motionless and breath less, and to all appearances dead. Her head was twisted beneath the left shoulder, and almost reversed on thebody. I began to examine whether, and if so, whereabouts the skid,/ might be fractured, when Mrs. Vosper, who had the child in her lap, told me the neck, not the head, was broken, and that, therefore, medical aid was useless. I saw at once that the relation of the neck with the head was unnatural, and, instead of waiting for a nice diagnosis, proceeded to use means of reduction. With this object I supported the back with the left knee, took a grasp of the head, and began to pull gradually and pretty strong. I had not pulled much when the patient's eyes opened, and an attempt was made at breathing. As a physiological test of the nature of the in jury I ceased pulling, when immediately every phenomenon of life ceased as before. I then pulled strongly, and the' parts came to the natural position with a snap, exactly as occurs after the reduction of displacements, but not so audibly. Immediately the eyes opened, and shortly after wards gasping took place, and in a minute or so breathing was established. The child was then carried upstairs, while I continued to keep the head and neck steady. We placed her on a hard, narrow bed, and in the best position possible, by moans of pillows. Mrs. Vesper undertook to remain beside her to guard against any movement of the head. The head, however, was disturbed during the night, and convulsions supervened, which ceased, however, as soon as the head was kept steady by the hand. Then came vomiting of dark matter, followed by much heat and much disturbance. I caused the neck to bo well leeched, and a counter irritant to bo applied to the epigastrium, on which the convulsions disappeared. To secure rest laudanum was administered, after which the patient slept. During sleep heat was kept down by means of iced water applied to .the head. Next morning tho patient appeared more lively ; but the least movement produced distortion of the features and a minor convulsive movement. She was quite l i sensible, but could neither articulate nor swallow. To wards mid-day she could articulate most words, but was deficient in pronouncing linguals. A few hours afterwards she could both swallow and speak. As there was much disturbance of both cerebral and respiratory organs I gave her ten grains of calomel, which soon settled her down. The child's neck is still distorted to the right side, and for this a stay support is being made ; the child is progressing favourably ."—Nerth British Mail. EXHIBITION OF STOLEN GOODS.—On Monday night last a cabman was invited by his fare to take some thing to drink in a publichouse in the Southwark-bridge road. On returning to the cab the fare found that his carpet- bag had been taken away. A police-constable was called, and Robinson, 48 P, traced the bag to a boy named Thomas Shea. The policeat once went to the house where he lived, and found him. He acknowledged that he bad taken the bag, and sold it in the Waterloo-road for 6s. Ho went with the constable to a tobacconist's shop in the Waterloo-road where he had sold the bag. The constable knocked at the door and was answered by a woman, who inquired out of the window what he wanted. The con stable, thinking it very strange for a tobacconist to buy pro perty, and having an idea that there was more inside, told the woman he had gone there to - find a girl who had been taken away from her parents. The woman not knowing the real object of the constable told him there was no girl there, and also said he might go in and see. The constable went in and the first thing he saw was the missing carpet-bag. He at once took the woman and a man (who gave his name as Evans) into custody, and afterwards made a minute search of the house, where he found an enormous quantity of stolen goods. With the assistance of Gibbs, 345 P, the whole of it was taken to Carter-street police-sta tion, where it has now been arranged and remains for the inspection of those of the public who have at various times lost property. Some of it has been already identified, and is said to have been stolen as long back as 18 months. A correct list of the property has just been completed. Among the most valuable of the articles are the following : Four gold and 14 silver watches, 11 gold rings, one pair of worked ear drops, six broken earrings, 14 brooches, ono heart set with brilliants in silver, one red coral brooch, (carved), six bracelets, 13 chains, of which three are Albert, eight rings of various descriptions, a silver medal (soldiers) engraved "Stephen Poletti," seven silver and a large num ber of electroplated spoons, sugar-tongs, tea and coffee-pots, 93 pencil cases-72 silver and 21 gold—many of which aro set with single ro ws o f t urquo i s e ; 48 knives, pen and table; 12 scent-bottles ( s il ver t o p s ), seven pa pierm ache boxes, three of which have a dog painted upon the lid, and are a set of much value ; about 100 jet and imita tion brooches, and about 100 ladies' gilt waist buckles ; a Chinese workbox ; a largo quantity of Berlin wool, two dozen gilt cord hair-nets on rollers; large quantities of dimity and carpeting, a large marble timepiece, 44 pairs of ladies' boots, a large quantity of swiss bronze figures, 11 pieces of cotton prints, four muslin curtains, two pieces of silk velvet, 18 pieces of Alpaca (uncut), 33 silk scarves, 33 silk neckties, ten silk handkerchiefs, two silk umbrellas, six table-covers, 29 pockethau'dkerchiefs, 17 waistcoats, a number of silk dresses (some apparently of Indian make), a very costly and handsome shawl of muslin inlaid with white satin and crotchet chain, a quantity of black silk veils, 15 dozen unfinished habit shirts, 16 ladies' white petticoats, a number of Prayer-books, 14 elastic shirts, and three black silk mantles. There aro besides miscellaneous articles too numerous to'mention, but which may be seen on application to Inspector Dann, at the Carter-street police btation, LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AUSTRIA AND ITALY. VIENNA, Aug. 21. The Vienna papers of this morning announce that the settlement of the Venetian question in principle will be effected at Vienna, and that General Mena brea is expected to arrive here in the capacity of Italian plenipotentiary. It is added that the definitive negotiations for peace between Austria and Italy will probably also be conducted at Vienna. MILAN, Aug. 20. News received here from Trent states that Genera Kuhn, the Austrian commander of that district, ordered the municipalities of Trent to give a public fete on the occasion of the birthday of the Emperor Francis Joseph. The municipality, however, declined to obey with out written orders to that effect from the Austrian authorities. SPAIN. MADRID, Aug. 20, Evening.

The Moniteur of this morning, alluding to the analysis of a letter recently published, and alleged to have been addressed by the Emperor to the King of the Belgians, says :—" This intelligence is erroneous. Although it is true that the French Minister for Foreign Affairs has informed the Bri tish Government that France would not demand the fortresses of Marienburg and Philippeville, which are in the hands of a neutral Power, it is not correct that the Emperor has written to the King of the Belgians." PARIS, Aug. 20.—Two o'clock.—The market opened firmly at, in some cases, a slight advance on Saturday's prices, and some considerable purchases have had the effect of producing a still further im provement.

The segmental roof is wider in a single span and longer than the roof of any other building in London. At the inner corners of the station there are to the right the station master's offices, and adjoining them the bullion office. At the opposite corner there are spacious refreshment rooms, the neat booking office for local traffic, and Messrs. Smith and Sous bookstall, at appropriate dis tances on the edge of the wide cross platform at the inner end of the station. The principal booking offices and waiting rooms, with the entrance and exit to and from the station platforms are, as at Charing-cross, on and through the ground floor of the hotel, which at Cannon-street is reached by a long range of easy steps, the breasts of which are of strong glass, by which light reaches the basement. The nine lines in the station are reduced to five lines in crossing the bridge. On reaching the Surrey side the line curves to the left continuously till it reaches the straight for London-bridge. The Charing-cross branch strikes off to the right at the fork and describes Hogarth's line of beauty—an easy ogee curve. The junction is close to Barclay and Perkins' brewery, which is to the right coming outwards, and passes close to some ancient villas, such as a few left in Southwark were once surrounded by orchards and lawns, in the days when the Bishop of Winchester had his palace in the locality. At the junction an additional line is added, giving three lines each way to Charing-cross on the one hand, and to London-bridge on the other. Engine-sheds, turntables for engine and tender, sidings, and other conveniences occupy a large space near this junction. The first rehearsal on Tuesday was superin tended by Mr. Eborall and Mr. Knight. The train, after discharging its passengers on the High Level at London bridge, at 9 30, passed on to Cannon-street station, which it reached in three minutes. The empties which have hitherto run into London-bridge low level will now, until the opening, run on for practice to Cannon -street station, and returning to London-bridge at their appointed times take up their passengers there.—Razlway News. MODERN POPULAR SONGS.—The decline and fall of the popular song has been sudden and rapid. Less than twenty years ago we were still singing My Pretty Jane, the Maids of Merry England, and Phillis is my only Joy. We rarely hear songs of this character sung now, and there are no new songs of the same class to take their place. The successor of My Pretty Jane was.the Itatcatcher's Daughter ; of Phillis, Naughty Jemima BroWn. My Pretty Jane was a foolish thing to be sure, but if we did press her to meet us—meet us in the willow glen when the bloom was on the rye (for no par ticular reason, at that floral season, except that she was "shy"), she did not outrage our feelings by taking too much to drink and cutting away with a chap that drives an ugly donkey-cart. Phillis was a very different young woman from Jemima Brown. She was faithless, it is true, like Jemima ; but she was faithless "as the winds and seas," not as a pair of sixteen -shilling trousers made not to sit down in. The pretty, pleasing (though foolish) sentimental ballad has almost entirely disappeared, and instead of celebrating woman's loveliness and grace, we sing of her ugliness and disgrace, with " Now, then, all together," and she stabbed herself with the carving knife, and a right fol de riddle 10l de ray. Murder and suicide have become exceedingly comic in these days. The carving-knife and the waterbutt are the modern dagger and bowl, and their mortal effects are in variably celebrated in a chorus of jubilation.—Dickens's " All the Year Round." WINCHESTER COLLEGE. —An election to aFellow ship of this college will be holden on Thursday, Sept. 27 pros. By the ordinances of the Oxford University Com missioners it is provided that—" The preference given by the original statutes to those who are or have been Fel lows of New College shall be extended alike to the master, usher, and assistaht-masters of the school of Winchester College for the time being, and to those who should have held any of the said offices." No candidate is eligible un less he is iii priest's orders. _ _ _ CHOLERA.—It is important that the public should be acquainted with the best means for preventing the spread of this pestilence. The leading medical autho rities recommend the use of MCDOUGALL'S DISINFECTANTS as the cheapest and most efficient. They combine the good effects of Carbolic and Sulphurous Acids, the disin fection being permanent, and not temporary only, as is the case with mere deodorisers, such as Chloride of Limo, tte Messrs. MCDOUGALL will forward "Suggestions for the Prevention of Cholera " on application at their depots: London, 11, Arthur-street West, London-' ridge ; Man chester, Riga-street, Slattdehig• LITERATURE. Lords and Ladies. By the Author of " Margaret and her Bridesmaids." 3 Vols. Hurst and Blackett: The charming authoress of " Margaret and her Bridesmaids" has selected for the theme of her new story an incident as improbable, not to say-impos sible, as can well be imagined, but the clever man ner in which she has concocted her little plot, and the truly pleasant style in which she has detailed it to us, go far towards inducing us to overlook the slight fundamental error above alluded to Among our lady novelists there is perhaps no one who for playful vivacity of style and lively, graceful gossip, excells the favorite authoress of " Margaret and her Bridesmaids," and " the Queen of the County," and some other pleasant works. " Lords and Ladies" will, at all events, interest the fairer and better half of novel readers. It is just the book for a companion in the busy idleness of the sea beach or the country-side. The interest is not so exciting but that it may be laid aside upon occa sion, but whenever taken up and wherever opened, the reader will find pleasant matter to wile away an agreeable hour. Neither will the time so spent be wasted time, for the gentle, homely moral incul cated by the little drama enacted by these wilful lords and ladies is one well worthy of general application. The motto on the title-page, from Tennyson "Musing on the little lives of men, And how they mar this little by their feuds"— is well enough, but almost too serious for the theme, as the altercations between the heroes and heroines of the tale, although startling enough in their consequences, hardly amount to " feuds." More appropriate would have been those charming lines of Moore's, beginning " Oh, ye who have the charge of Love, Keep him in rosy bondage bound." The truth contained in that well-known passage, which it is unnecessary to quote at length, is the keynote of this amusing serio-comic history of the discussions and divisions of these lords and ladies : " A something light as air, a look, A word unkind or wrongly taken, Oh, Love, that tempests never shook, A breath, a touch like this hath shaken." The cause of the famous " challenge" given and received in this veracious history arises, as the first chapter tells us, " like a cloud of smoke." Rather, it should be said, it occurs because the cloud of smoke does not rise. Mrs. Joscelyn, at a dinner party at her newly-decorated mansion, objects to any smoking in the dining room after dinner ! The consequences of this ob jection, and the gentleman's objection to that objec tion, are altogether so serious and amazing that we must refer our readers for a full account to the pages of the history itself 1 Mrs. Joscelyn, " the head and front" of this offending, is herself so all perfect and fascinating that it is a marvel how any request of hers can be so ill received. But the Squire, good man as he is, is suffering at the moment under a sudden irritation of the nerve Opiniatum, which nerve, our authoress tells us, although little mentioned by anatomists, "runs from the brain to the feet—in some subjects it overpowers and wholly subjugates every other nerve in the body ; the slightest touch starts it into instant life, and during the time it quivers and lives, the reasoning faculties, the moral powers, the higher virtues succumb before it !" Such are the dread effects of any interference with this deadly nerve, as Mrs. Joscelyn has reason to know. The Squire, when this troublesome nerve is at rest, is a delightful companion. Even on the desert island, where he and his companions betake themselves during the freak, he suprises his brother travellers by dressing for dinner, even although no ladies (of course) are present. When reminded by his friends that such social observances are now unnecessary, he rejoins, " I have a certain respect for a fellow called Jack Joscelyn, and I always pay him the compliment of a clean shirt, hands, and face, even when he and I dine alone !" The sequel of the quarrel is very ingeniously arranged, but we should be loth, by a word, to reveal the mystery of the result. Suffice it to say, that "all is well that ends well;" the " Lads " and the " Ladies" derive profit from their experiences, which are likely to afford considerable amusement to their readers. The New Victoria Bridge. It is expected that the new Victoria-bridge over the Thames at Battersea will be opened for public traffic before the close of the present month. It has passed the inspection of Captain Rich repre senting the Board of Trade, and has stood the test to which it has been subjected in such a manner as to satisfy those most interested in its ultimate suc cess. Eight of the heaviest engines belonging to the London, Chatham, and Dover Company were driven over it during the trial, with the result that the greatest deflection of the loaded rib-175ft. span —was seven-eighths of an inch,while the simultane ous rise of the corresponding ribs of the next span was only one-seventh of that amount. This great structure, which is 912 ft. long and 132 ft. wide— being the widest railway bridge in the world—con sists of four river spans of 175 ft. in the clear and two land spans of 65ft. and 70ft. respectively. The spans and rise are the same as those of the original bridge, hitherto used jointly by the two bodies for which the present work has been undertaken—the London, Chatham, and Dover, and the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company—but the foundations and ironworks are perfectly distinct. The great additions made to the capabalities of the two companies will be easily understood when it is stated that the bridge will hold two mixed gauge and two narrow gauge lines for the London, Chat ham, and Dover, and one of the London, Brighton, and South Coast. Besides, the space of 33ft. Gin. by the up and down platforms is at present so arranged that it will be available by a small addi tional expenditure for three more narrow-gauge ;nes ; so that altogether, with those already ex;sting on the old bridge, there win. be ten separate means of access to the Victoria station, each having a distinct and independent approach. The bridge forms the key to the intricate net-work of high-level lines at Battersea, which is now. nearly completed, and will doubtless obviate the difficulties which have now for some time impeded the 'working of the traffic of the companies by whom it has been built. The details of the structure are so numerous that it is impossible to notice them one by: one, but there are some peculiar features connected with it‘which deserve special mention. For iustalice, the 32-arch ribs in the four spans are so arranged as to act as cantilevers, while the horizontal girder connected with them by spandrils is riveted up, and thus forms one continuous girder from end to end of the bridge, which, as has been stated, is 912 ft. in length. Again, the ribs abut on cast-iron skewbacks, from which, on the piers, cast-iron standards are carried up to support the horizontal girder ; so that the bridge is, in fact, an uninterrupted structure of iron, without intervention of masonry or brickwork of any kind. The cylinders beneath have been filled with concrete in cement and brickwork, loaded with pig iron, so as to equal the weight of the superstructure when occupied with locomotives—being in the case of the cylinders next the old bridge as much as 1,260, while in the remaining ones it was 1,000 tons. It may be added that the greatest settlement in any part of this section of the great structure was not more than of an inch. The works connected with the bridge on the south side of the river are chiefly lofty viaducts and represent a total length of ten miles of double lines. It has been decided that there will be four new stations—namely, Grosvenor-road, York-road, Battersea-road, and Queen's-road, thus opening up a new and important district which will doubtless add a large contingent to the pas sengers :travelling by the lines upon which these stations are situated. Altogether this. new medium of uniting the southern and south western districts of London cannot fail to afford largely increased facilities for the immense traffic which the Victoria Station daily receives. • The work has been completed in a very short time con sidering its magnitude and intricacy, the foundation stone having been laid in February, 1865, and the Government inspection having taken place in August, 1866. The Chatham Company's and the South- Western Company's portions of the work have been constructed by Messrs. Peto and Betts; the Brighton Company's branches by Messrs. Pickering and Heywood; Sir C. Fox and sons being engineers and superintendents of the whole, digurt,,--, titular HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Ang• 20 . The Queen walked in the grounds this waning with Princess Louise and Prince Arthur.
