THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE.— In these days of suburban villas gardening has grown to be a fashionable amusement, even for dwellers in towns, and therefore a garden guide may find plenty of subscribers in L - mdon itself. It treats in the number before us of the cultivation of roses and lilies, of strawberries and lettuces, besides discussing new plants and exotic aquatics, and treating of plants with the alarming titles of the Pentocinon and the Phlox. The news of the month and the answers to correspondents occupy their usual places. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1866 PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd.

ADMIRALTY, AUGUST 1, 18G6. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD MIRALTY Hereby give Notice, that the AR RANGEMENTS for the ADMISSION of PERSONS not already in the Government service to the ROYAL SCHOOL of NAVAL ARCHITECTURE and MARINE ENGINEERING as Admiralty Pupils will, for the present year, be as follows : " Candidates must be not less than 18 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuild ing or engineering establishments, or must give satisfac tory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering operations as to become well grounded in the elementary principles and practice thereof. The Pupils will be selected by Competitive Examina tion, the subjects for which, and number of marks assigned for each, aro as follows : Marks. Pure Mathematics, including arithmetic, mensura tion, geometry (plane and descriptive), piano tri • gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and h y d ro statics ... 1,000 P rac ti ca l Shipbuilding, including laying off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marine Engineering (foe engineer candi dates only) ... 2,500 French .. ... 500 Elements of Physics and Chemistry... ••• ••• 750 English Grammar and Composition . 750 Geography and History ••• ... 750 No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects , although counting in the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Mini ralty pupils ; they will receive ivages the same as dockyard apprentices, commencing at Is. Id. per day for six days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day, and in addition a subsistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the School or in the Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz, from November till May, will be devoted to study at the, school, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the Dockyards. It is to bo understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study ; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Ad miralty, not later than the Ist September. The Candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as Engineers or Shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 25th September, and three following days.

It is here said that in our " meditations of the charac teristics of the author and man in Cervantes, we have always mentally associated him with Shakspere and Sir Walter Scott. We find in all the same versatility of genius, and the same grasp of and breadth of intellect, the same gifts of genial humour, and the same largeness of sympathy. Tho life of Cervantes will be always an in teresting and edifying study in connection with the litera ture of the great events of his time." "Cowardice and Courage " is another of those sketches which affords us such a good exemplification of the great difference that exists in men as to dispoiition, hatiits, &c. Many of the anecdotes are very interesting, and illustrate the meaning of what is said better than any description could possibly do. " Timbu c t oo "i s ono o f t h ose pa pers on foreign coun tries which con ve y a grea t d ea l t o on e's mind. It is an in teresting task to f o ll ow th o wr it e r of these pages, and trace the varyi ng ways in which those regions have been described by different authors at different times. " Num ber Five, Brooke -street" is continued in its usual myste rious manner, and we have . to follow the adventures of the wily heroine. " Cometh up as a FloWer" is also proceeded with, and is entertaining in its variety of descriptions, and the little heroine is very attractively sketched. "Never for Ever" is the title of a new story that is begun, and promises to be very entertaining in its way. " The His tory of the Irish Church" is the political article met with. It contains a defence of that institution, and is written with much earnest ness an d e l oquen ce. " Iphis," by Mor timer Collins, is a very comp li ca t e d sketch in verse, that forms an agreeabl e con t ras t t o the proso selections met with. " The C am p a i gn o f t h e B oyne " alludes to men that will over be memorable in the history of Ireland, and are well worthy of notice, notwithstanding the very different age in which we live. FRASER.—Fraser addresses itself in this number chiefly to the tastes of those who like solid reading, for, truth to tell, its contents are somewhat weighty. Many of the articles are excellent, but a little more variety in the list would have been acceptable. A lengthened and well-written criticism of Dead Stanley's Jewish History is the first paper, and it gives a fair impression of the scope and object of the work. Cap tain Burton's letters describing his adventures between London and Rio de Janeiro are continued, and the instal ment is one of the most attractive items in the number. Essays on the Order of German Knights, instituted in the time of the Crusade; and on the Brahmo Samaj, a new llindoo Church, follow. The latter discusses the whole question of religion in India very fully, if not altogether impartially. The three great questions of the day, the Financial Crisis, the Change of Ministry, and the Con tinental War, form the subjects of three different papers. The writer on the panic, after examining into the situation of affairs in the money market during the last year or two, arrives-at the conclusion that a total repeal of the act of 1844 is the best remedy that can be applied to the de fects of our financial system. This conviction is rapidly gaining ground among practical men, for who can fail to see that an act which breaks down three times within twen ty years is unequal to the public requirements? The paper on " The Ministry—Last and Present" takes us all over the old ground of the debates of the Session, and is preparing us for every catastrophe under the sun now that u s toll ru t u us u_.at least novel for Whig and Tory have chan g ed p l aces. Th e article anything new, but an English wri ter —on the victor y of the Prus sians, which i t traces to the sound j ud g ment of King o it n puts the v a novel William and Count Bismarck, "in s p i te of all the senseless c l amo ur and false liberalism of the Prussian Chambers. Th e King was willing to stake his crown, bit ho never . . . for ono moment entertained a false and shallow Nar cannot nno co t com promise with either Democ r ats or Ultramontanos, and he has his reward." The reward, it is very possible, when the excitement of tho campaig.n has died out, will not be so unreservedly agreeable to King William and his Prime ssu N gg r e tv ste A d i 0 aNn ti T I l a L r ir Vizier. C °. e — le ou Thunder and The storms of the Lightning, found ed on a French work , whic h treats of the subject com p rehensivel y . Francis Jacox season iji3lj have ß ' continues his discourse upon those mysterious in structive likes and dislikes which are so unaccount able, and yet so well founded. He styles it " About not Loving Dr. Fell, and the Reason Why," and cites number lessinstances in which authors and poets have referred to it. Mrs. Bushby proceeds with her series of stories under the head of "Snowed up," and " Mafia" is continued in all its fervent romance. The story can scarcely,lail to end with a tragedy, which will ho its most fitting conclusion. Lieut.-Colonel Miles gives a furthee instalment of his nar rative of " . k voyage from Sea to Sea, through the Isthmus of Suez,", and Mr.. Ramage • continues his . "Wanderings through Italy" in search of its ancient remains. Among the remaining papers are one on "Portuguese PiScoverY in Africa," and an essay on " The War of Annexation," by Cyrus Redding. COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE.—The United Service for this month is more varied than usual. It opens with " The Health of the Navy," a subject of most vital importance both to the men and to the country which looks to them for its pro tection and security. The charm of a sailor's life is grog; grog is the stimulus to exertion and the reward of glorious deeds. But there is a limit to good as well as evil, and excess defeats its chiefest pleasure. So it is with grog ; while stimulating in one case, it enervates and incapacitates 'in another. But poor Jack is not a man to moralise—he is all for action and glory, so there be grog and prize-money to be had. And these are the great charms of a man-of war's man's existe.nce. Lord Collingwood—a keen observer of sailor life—for be toiled fifteen years as a midshipman before accident, not 'favour, gave him a chance of promo tion, was of opinion that " were a man as wise as Solomon and as brave as Achilles, he would still be unworthy of trust if he addicted himself to grog." And such an opinion, coming from such an authority, must have grieved the conscience of many a worthy sailor, be 116 officer or sea man. But a little grog in season works wonders with Jack. It is the sentiment of his life, the very soul of his ambition, and, judiciously administered, operates very beneficially on his health, and neutralises any injurious tendency resulting from climate and the provisions inci dent to 'a long voyage, and other trying circumstances on unhealthy stations abroad. It is to excess that Lord Col lingwood refers, and that would equally apply to a soldier on land as to a sailor at sea. Tho writer dwells on other matters which very much affect the health of the navy, _some of which may be modified by proper precautiotis in port, and one which is referable to the stingy economy of the Admiralty towards our surgeons, in withholding proper rank and promotion to men upon whose knowledge and conduct the lives of our gallant defenders so much depend. It is the old curse of monopoly ; there is no virtue at sea, but in men born to promotion and to rule. It is the vice of the despot carried to extremity. It is founded in ignorance, nursed by pride, and perpetuated by selfishness. But a better spirit is gradually working its way in the administration of our naval affairs, and the service must in dire time reap the benefits of a more enlightened conduct. With respect to the health of our sailors it appears there are four stations moro particularly dangerous than others. These are the south-east coast of America, the Pacific, the west coast of Africa and China station. But the west coast of Africa is the wag of all; the ratio of mortality there is absolutely fright More More than half of those who go there never return ! And this is the blessed effect of the slave trade ! Why, we thought that when the civil war in America was over there was to be an end of the slave trade, and an end of sending our sailors to be sacrificed on the. pestilential shores of the African wilderness of humanity. We have heard of the black list as a punishment for worthless cul prits, but to send good men to a deadly coast for an ideal" protection is little short of homicide. It is trying the temper of the good until they become bad and die of dutiful murder, like the modern plan of testing pieces of ordnance, which have survived upwards of two thousand discharges, with extra pounds of powder and heavy shot, subjecting their well-sustained "proof" to destruction. Such are our commission committees of investigation, and such our African hilling squadrins! " The Army in India" is another sample of how bravo men are sacrificed to a sense gf duty. But we hope for a speedy improvement in the administration of our Indian army, by the facilities which railway communication will afford for transferring them to more healthy residences in the hills during the sickly season. This subject is to be continepd. "Light Drill in the French Army" is a paper well worthy the attention of the Horse Guards, for, however high our military men may be in their own esteem, they should never bo above taking a hint from a neighbour, and that neighbour the ono of all others whose whole mind is de voted to the art of war and the means which may tend to excellence. Tho intelligent writer who has taken this in hand, is an officer who seems to delight in improving the knowledge and quickening the practice of his countryman in the most essential points of the profession in which they aspire to worthy deeds. There is no doubt that in matters of discipline the French are deservedly in the first rank. They spare no pains to attain the very best possible sys tem, and they use the knowledge acquired until practice makes perfect. Above all they catch the spirit of the work, and aspire to excellence for the delight of distinction. With them it is not enough to do the thing well, it must and can be done batter. With them celerity adds to the charm of all their movements, and our author seems to have caught its very spirit. Let our riflemen look to it now that needle-guns. and breech-loaders aro the order of the day. It would seem that much of the success in the late Prussian campaign is owing to their discipline and confidence in their arms. The needle-gun, so long despised by all the other nations of Europe, England in particular, has been cherished and practised by the Prussian, and now behold 'the result. " Curiosities of Naval Literature— Quakers," has for its motto — "The Castor's guns were thirty-six, Not one of them a Quaker, The Castor's men they (ought like bricks, And soon we took John Acre." This is a humorous paper, full of old and sometimes droll recollections; it divides the genus Quaker into two classes —those who will not and those who cannot fight. The first class was a worthy, wide-awake, conscientious set, who, looking to the future, actually contrived to " weather" an American yew of Scotch extraction—no bad achievement in a worldly bargain. The other class aro simply wooden guns, which, from their non-combatant qualities, seamen humorously call Quakers. Formerly these Quakers did good service in the art of war, more especially at the famous battle of Bull's Run, where the Confederates used them to such good effect that they frightened the Yankees to run all the 'faster. They are used sometimes with good effect both on land and water to perform or cause some laughable mistakes. But in the present instance they are used as expressive of a deception of any kind, such as a stratagem at sea, in lighthrg a tar barrel in a dark night to mislead a ship in chase. Those stratagems were frequently practised by Lord Cochrane, when in command of the Speedy, with her terrible four pounders. In 1801, when the combined fleets of France and Spain had sailed from Algosiras, in Gibraltar Bay, they had not proceeded far when it came on dusk, and soon after dark Captain Keats, in Superb gallantry, dashed in between the two sternmost ships, firing right and left, and passed.on. The movement was so rapidly executed that the Superb shot ahead before the smoke cleared away, and the Spanish ships mistaking each other for the aggressors began a mutual attack, resulting in the Real Carlos, of 112 guns, losing her foretopma,st, the sails of which falling over her own guns caught fire. While in this condition the other ship, the Hermengildo, also of 112 guns, kept still engaging the Carlos as a real enemy, and in the con fusion fell on board her and caught fire also. Both ships burned till about midnight, when they blew up, and nearly all on board, 2,000 men, perished, as Captain Keats was taking possession of a third line-of-battle ship. The phrase " fighting like bricks" has many guesses as to its origin—ono is that "The Bricks" was the name of a club in the Strand who had a quarrel with another club called "The Chips," and the one having vanquished the other, the first-named brotherhood wore said "to have stuck together like bricks." A paper on " The Battles in Central Europe" gives a masterly account of the war with all its great promises and shortcomings, of which the public have had quite enough for the present. " The Navy as it was and as it is" is another good article ; but we should like it better if we knew what the future navy is to be, for in that consists the grand secret—to be or not to be. mation, and we may now appreciate the changes wrought by time when we read of the story of Dr. Sydenham's silver tankard being taken from a window, the thief being lost among the bushes of Praol-street, "the thief no doubt regaling at his pot luck." " Legislators going to Dinner" contains an entertaining account of the difficulties which attend the work of a cook at the House of Commons, who never knows how many will sit down to his provisions, and indeed may have •sixteen when ho thought a hundred and fifty were coming. "A Tale of St. Martin's-le-Grand"-is a ludicrous sketch of the miseries of ono who thus de scribes himself— " When some do wrong and some do right, 1 quill-drive for my betters ; St. Martin's sees from morn till night No poorer man of letters." " The Cruise of the Aphrodite" is a chronicle of very stir ring adventures, which it is well worth while to peruse. The Trial of the Fenian Prisoners in Canada. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—The editor's historical romance of the Constable de Bourbon, though long since issued in the customary form for the benefit of the regular novel reader, continues to entertain the readers of Bentley. The seventh book records the horrors of the attack on Rome, and of that first shot which, according to historic legend, laid the ambitious constable low. The romancist accepts the tradition which tells that Benevenuto Cellini was the hand that fired the fatal - shot. " About things being to us as we think them" is a curious and discursive paper. Switzerland is pleasantly sketched by a traveller, and we have also notes of a ride from Petra to Hebron. There are also several tales of varying interest, none of which aro ofa very high order. LONDON SOCIETY.*" Going out of Town" is a lugubrious sketch of the miseries people endure who try to be too comfortable. " Bathing with an Emperor" contains an agreeable description of Biarritz, that makes one long to pay it a flying visit. The scene in the bay, it is said, "any fine autumn afternoon is ono of great beauty, especially when the rays of the setting sun lend their glory to it, reddening the fine woods, lighting up the picturesquely grouped houses, and crimsoning the rocks." "The Trentham's Summer Trip, and what came of it," is a well-described tale, that does not, however, present a very pleasing study to ?on : . ' templstion. "Oxford and tho Grand C . ommemorntton ' gives us an animated account of tho doings there m the grand days of the classic old city. " Mansi.on-house ll.os pitalities" presents the reader with a curious comrartson between the affairs of to-day and times long gone by in the City. " Who wins 11iss Burton" is concluded, and satisfactorily, though wo are assured not very probably. It would be well if many distressed damsels could, like Agatha, escape at the eleventh hour from a hateful marriage, and _ avoid . the life-long misery of an ill-assorted union. "Up and Down the Lon don Streets" contains its . usual amount of striking infor- notice. THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—The most conspi cuous feature in this number of the St. James's is, of course, the continuation of Miss Braddon's novel of " The Lady's Mile," now rapidly approaching its conclusion. The chapters before us are very excit ing, coming, as they do, to the crisis of Lady Cecil's life. The sudden and unlooked-for appearance of her husband before the scene, when she and Major Gordon a re planning their wicked flight, is very forcibly told ; and Mr. O'Boyneville, not too romantic a character, appears to unusual advantage in the passage where he tells his own and his wife's story in disguise. Cecil's history may be now said to be ended, but the fortunes of Florence Cran ford remain to be told in the next number. " Out of Charity" is continued. It is an original and singular story, turning upon the unknown parentage of a young lady, and the perplexities and annoyances that result therefrom. " Concerning Beds and Bedsteads" is a paper made up of old curiosities and anecdotes relating to won derful or ingenious beds and bedsteads. "Blind Authors" takes a page from one of the most pathetic chapters of literary story, and there are other papers of varying interest. MACMILLAN'S MAGAZINE.—" The Campaign in Italy" supplies the subject of the first article, and being written in Italy itself will be read with some interest. Henry Kingsley's genial and extravagant but original story of " Silcote of Silcotes " proceeds to the ninth chapter, leaving the reader none the less perplexed by the number and the eccentricities of the dramatis persona, that he has several explanatory chapters doled out to him. The other story " Cradock Nowell" is much of the seine kindred in extravagance of style and originality of design. It is brought to a sudden termina tion, in which the stain of' fratricide is altogether removed from Cradock's name, and justice is meted out, though somewhat imperfectly, among the remaining actors. An essay on George Eliot's novels pays due honour to the marvellous ability of the writer of Adam Bede, and the critic very happily, in conclusion, points out the difference between a natural and an artificial style. " I have only to notice one thing more, and that is how thoroughly these novels show to people who write, that style is not the result of reading, but of thinking. It is not the assiduous culti vation of a style as such, but the cultivation of the intel lect and feelings which produces good writing. Style comes of brooding over ideas, not over words." This is a truth which authors would do well to remember. THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.—The question of the extension of the franchise to the female sex is one which we might naturally expect to find discussed in this magazine, and, accordingly, the first article which meets us is on the " Conflicting Opinions on the franchise for women." "The civil and political status of tho female sex" is continued, and brings down the narra tive to the fourth part of the feudal epoch—giving us an account of the law of inheritance and mai ring() in the countries which continued to use the Roman law. The story of " Colonel Rannoch" proceeds, and there aro papers on Magyar rural life and the neighbourhodd of Worthing. 'An essay on the nature and treatment of cholera will at tract attention just now from the importance of the sub ject, and the prospects of the Female Medical Society are considered at length. THE ARGOSY.—Charles Reade's story of " Grif fith Gaunt" continues more dramatically than agreeably, and chronicles some terrible and startling events. Miss Parkes contributes a pleasant paper on "An Old French City," which is nicely illustrated. The author of " Shirley Hall" shows us in his usual vigorous fashion how a stroke of good fortune may sometimes be the ruin of a man. Arminius Vaubeiy conducts us from Teheran to Trebizond, and Mr. Haweis tells us the never wearisome story of Garibaldi's eventful career. Some graceful verses are among the remaining contents. THE ECLECTIC.—SeveraI interesting books are discussed in this number, chief among them being Mr. Baker's Nile journey and Miss Itossetti's poems. The life of Sir Thomas Browne, of famous renown, affords also the subject of a well written paper, though we are sorry to learn from it that this learned and honoured author appeared as a witness against two miserable old women burnt as witches in 1665. THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE.—Many interesting papers are in this number, which, like its prede cessors, is boldly and unmistakeably religious in its scope and character. There is one paper which, however, may very well be read with profit by those, who would refuse to bo guided by direct advice : it is en titled, "Found among the Papers of a Young Man," and records very simply how the writer turned over the memo randa of a wealthy young man with whose affairs he had been concerned. He remembered several instances in which the young man had refused to relieve persons suf fering from a heavy calamity, to assist the son of an old dependant in entering business, to help the education of a deserving young connexion, &c. On turning to his papers for those dates, he found the refusals explained by tobac conists' and wine merchants' bills, and loans to worthless boon companions. "Bear and Forbear, a pair of Buffers for Universal Use," is, as may be guessed from its title, a shrewd and sensible article. "A Visit to Mario, a French Heroine," gives us an interesting account of what one poor French girl was able to achieve in the course of a chequered life. Many other papers and sketches will at tract and instruct the reader. THE DAY OF REST.—" The Path of Thorns" is continued, and a dreary sketch is given of the poor heroine's adventures. Her wedding was a most rough affair, and all shows the dangers and diffi culties into which people plunge themselves when they enter upon a course of deceit. " Night Nursing in a Lunatic Asylum" reveals a dreadful picture of the miseries to which those aro subjected who wait upon those afflicted with the worst of the thousand ills to which flesh is heir. The full extent of the respon sibility and exertion cannot be comprehended until the reader realises the fact that the care and attention cannot be relaxed by night any more than by day. " Pencillings in Suburban Cemeteries" contains a description of High gat3 Cemetery, which is very interesting. "A Gar land of Poetry and Flowers" is a pleasing sketch, and it is remarked that " a love of flowers is natural to all ; the Almighty in his infinite wisdom has ordained man for the cultivation of the earth, and thus it is that wo aro in a manner born gardeners, and our earliest inclinations load us to the culture of flowers." " Old Izaak Walton" is an an instructive sketch, and a variety of other matters in prose and verse contribute to the filling up of the contents of this little serial. GOOD WORDS.—The attractions of Good Words for readers of all classes continue undiminished, and the number before us has several excellent papers. "How can wo best relieve our Deserving Poor ?" is a question which each of us may well put to himself in these days of sickness and its accompanying distress. " More about Shetland and the Shetlanders" contains interesting reading, and the same may be said of a paper on " Curious Forms of Fruits," by the curator of the Royal Museum at Kew. Mrs. Oliphant's story of domestic life Tcontinuos, and " Ligbt in the De sert" is a very a , , 1 l o e sc sketch, teaching an immortal t ruth b y illustration. ,..e " d or three pleasant and thought ful verses are • tt through the number.

He has a narrow escape of death from fever, succeeds in eluding the vigilance of the workhouse authorities, and contrives to survive meeting his infuriated father in a publichouse. Those who smile over his troubles may pause when they lay down the story to think how many little lives there are whose facts are even darker than this picture. THE INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER.—The fifty-fifth number has for its frontispiece a beautiful coloured plate of a scene in Algeria illustrating a paper on Algeria as a winter residence. The contents are, as usual, full of scientific discussions and curious informa tion, and the various topics to which the attention of the learned world has been recently directed receive due TIARDIVICKE'S *SC lENCE GOSSIP.—This is another scientific publication of a much slighter and less The following is the text of Mr. Seward's letter to the Hon. Mr. Bruce, concerning the trial of the Fenian prisoners in Canada : " Department of State, Washington, June 11, 1866. " Sir,—The Secretary of War has laid before the President several despatches, which were received yesterday and to-day from Major-General Meade, who is commanding the United States forces on the Canadian frontier. These communications warrant the President in believing that the so-called Fenian expedition is now entirely at an end, and that order and tranquillity may be expected to prevail hence forth upon that border. I regret, however, that I am obliged to connect with this gratifying informa tion the further statements that reports have reached Major-General Meade to the effect that some of the Canadian or British troops have crossed the line and entered within the territory and jurisdiction of the United States. It is even said that this entry took place after the disturbers of the peace, under the command of the leader Spear, had relinquished t h e ir I forbidden enterprise, and withdrawn within the boundary line of the United States. The reports go so far as to say that prisoners have been taken on the soil of the United States and conveyed to Ca nada, and that the Canadian agents have threatened that these prisoners, together with such stragg;ersas may now be found within the Canadian lines, will be executed without trial. It is believed these reports are exaggerated. Care has been taken by Major- Gen. Meade to have them promptly investigated. " In the meantime I am instructed by the Presi dent to represent to you, and through you to the British and Canadian authorities, that this Govern ment would not look without serious concern upon the practice of any unnecessary severity, especially on the exercise of retaliation or other illegal pro ceedings upon the persons of such of the offeudersas have fallen or shall hereafter fall into the hands of the Canadian authorities. I respectfully invite your attention to the subject, with the confident expectation that no proceedings that are not autho rised and in conformity with law will be taken against persons of that class, and in the hope that even the customary administration of the law will be tempered with special forbearance and clemency. In view of the effective proceedings which this Government has adopted in regard to the dis turbances on the frontier, now so fortunately ended, these representations would have been made by me without waiting to be moved from any other quarter. They are now made, however, with the approval of Major-General Meade, and I believe that they will receive the concurrence of the Con gress and the people of the United States. —I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, 6' WILLIAM 11. SEWARD. " The Hon. Frederick W. A. Bruce." DEAUVILLE RACES.—Disappointment was felt at the non-appearance of any of the English horses engaged at this meeting. An accident occurred in the two-year- old race by the falling of Ouvereuso and Bountiful. Tho jockeys Musgrove and William Carter were both seriously hurt, the latter having his arm broken in two places. In the Prix de De-any:lle Marino was left at the post, and Fleur des Bois and Tancrede came in first and second.

THE WAGES MOVEMENT.—Though in most branches of labour an increase of wages or a diminu tion of working hours has been latterly obtained, some trade disputes still exist, and two or three of them have been of long duration. The joiners and carpenters of Preston struck work on the sth of May, and have there fore been "out" just three calendar months. Their de mands are more wages, less work, and fewer apprentices. As the master builders, after negotiating with the opera tives until their patience was exhausted, have obtained from other places as many hands as they want at present, nothing now remains for the men but increased loss and disappointment, in proportion to the prolongation of the struggle. They are now the only sufferers, whatever loss and annoyance they may have caused to the employers during the first few weeks of the strike. The men receive 14s. per week, the funds being supplied by other branches of the union, who, we should fancy, are by this time tired which have growsboebeen fainter their a f nt e r share every day.in the Manyurs u the of of a p mee l n t phantom however, compelled to leave their homes in search of employment elsewhere ; and no doubt the strike will quietly die out, an utter failure, and a somewhat remarkable illustration of the inability of labour to cope with capital when trying conclu sions with it in this way. On the Ist of May the masons of Blackburn, numbering 270, struck work for a reduction of six hours from the weekly number of 55. They allege that 49 is the number of hours worked per week at Bradford, Oldham, Todmorden, Rochdale, Halifax, and other towns. Some of the masters, not members of the Builders' Association, and employing between 50 and GO men, at once conceded the de mand; and others, from the pressure of contracts and the public exigencies, afterwards gave way. But few of the men are now out of work. The daggers and slaters of Preston have been on strike a considerable time, and there is no present prospect of the termination of the dispute. It is feared that the general advance which is taking place in wages will cause a stagnation in the building trade, as the increased cost of building i s c ausing capitalists to seek other and more profitable investments. Cottage rents have been increased from 10 to 15 per cent., in consequence of the high t price of labour and materials for building, and the heavy axe s and other charges upon property, one of which is an increased percentage demanded from the owners by rent collectors. In the cotton trade at Blackburn a strike for an advance of wages has been going on for three months among the twisters and drawers-in, and some of them are still out. An emigration scheme was mooted at one of their the factory e but pe was zivegive up.era n re Generally Ki speang, n owever, now qui et these ' districts, but e a r e g o e o n d t a h u e t h fi o r r e i t t y favourable that it s their opportunity.determination T he t w o e as h k av for m block-printers ( ca li co ) of Accr i ngton h ave o bt a i ne d an advance of wag es , and the tailors of llaslingden and the neighbourhood have had a rise of from 15 to 20 per cont. Notwithstanding the heavy imports of cotton into Liverpool during the past few days the quantity of cotton at sea en route for the Slersey and the Thames is still very large. From Bombay alone there are 336,734 bales afloat en route to Liverpool ; from Madras there are 14,615 bales; from Conconada, 5,988 bales; from Rangoon, 1,180 bales ; front Kurrachee, 8,567 bales; from Calcutta, 124,997 bales ; from Taticorin, 2,575 bales ; from Shan ghae, 12,036 bales; from New Orleans, 8,924 bales; from Mobile, 3,795 ; from Galveston, 1,780 bales ; but there are six vessels afloat, the cargoes of which have not as yet been reported, and there are also eleven vessels afloat from New York, Pensacola, Charleston, Apalachicola, and Savannah, the car goes of which will no doubt consist partly of cot ton, although up to last Monday their manifests had not reached Liverpool. To London there are afloat from Madras, 22,866 bales ; Calcutta, 31,223 bales; Bimlipatam, 369 bales; China, Cochin, and Taticorin, 20,280 bales ; Bombay, 11,360 bales ; and from Japan, 310 bales.
