TO THE OF THE LIVE RYM CITY OF LONDON AND OTELECTORS GENTLEMEN, RAYING been requested by many influential gentlemen connected with the City of London to come forward as a Candidate for the representation of that most important constituency at the next General Election, I have determined to accede to their wishes, and to seek your kind interest and support on that occasion. My name will not be unknown to many in the City, as my father represented you for a considerable time in for mer Parliaments ; and I have also had the advantage of sitting for the last eight sessions as the representative of a commercial borough. Having been engaged in business from an early period of my life, and being connected with several large com mercial institutions in the city, I trust'that I may hate ac quired that knowledge and experience which ought to be possessed by those who aspire to represent the greatest trading community in the world. My votes will clearly indicate my views on the great questions which have come under the consideration of Parliament during the last eight years, and you will find that I have ever been the consistent supporter of the principles of Free Trade, which my father always sup ported when the great change took place in the commer cial policy of this country. Wishing to preserve the institutions of the country on their ancient foundations, I am not desirous of any rash changes in our Constitution • but if any well-considered measure, admitting to the electoral body a larger portion of the intelligence of the country, should be introduced into Parliament by the responsible advisers of the Crown, in harmony with public opinion, I shall be willing to give it my support. Anxious that this country should ever maintain the high position it has so long held in the scale of nations, I do not wish to see our Military and Naval Forces unduly reduced; but a judicious economy in them, as in all other branches of the Public Service, will meet my cordial concurrence, as already evinced by the course which I have pursued in Parliament. Warmly attached to the Church of England, and desir ous of seeing the extension of her influence at home and abroad. I nevertheless respect the feelings of those who differ from her in opinion, and shall be glad to support any satisfactory measure for the settlement of the question of Church Rates. The policy of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other nations I entirely approve, and am anxious that our Government should not pursue a system of meddling inter ference, which is too apt to be attended with humiliating results. Should I have the honour of being elected your repre sentative, it is hardly necessary for mo to assure yon that I shall do all in my power to protect the high privileges which you have so long enjoyed, and which have recently been the subject of attack, and to all your local interests I Will give my most careful attention. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Yours most faithfully, GEORGE LYALL. Ilutland-gate, Hyde-park, 19th June, 1865. TO THE LIVERYMEN AND OTHER ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, 14111 the request of some of the most influential Citizens, who are anxious that I shou'd come forward, in conjunction with my friend Mr. Lyall, I venture to offer myself as a Candidate for the high honour of representing you in Parliament. I am a firm supporter of the ancient rights and privileges of the City of London. I am in favour of the consistent development of the principle of non-intervention in Foreign Politics. I con sider that where it has been acted upon it has tended to the advantage of the country, while its neglect has involved us in serious difficulties. Should public opinion call for the re-consideration of the question of the representation of the people in Parliament, I should be prepared to support any well-considered plan which, while extending the franchise to a larger number of the intelligent working classes, shall at the same time admit that large portion of the middle class who are at present destitute of it. Regarding the union of Church and State as the na tional recognition of the great principle "that righteous ness exalteth a nation," I am opposed to all attempts to destroy it. At the same time I am ready to exempt our dissenting fellow-countrymen from any difficulties which weigh unfairly upon them. I shall at all times be ready to exert myself in support of the interests of that great City to which we all are so warmly attached. Hoping in the course of my canvass to be able further to develops my views, I am, your obedient servant, R. N. FOWLER. 50, Cornhill, June 19, 1865.

The affairs of Greece engage more attention and excite a deeper interest of late from the circum stances that attended the installation of the young King. The royal family of Denmark reached the zenith of their prosperity when that auspicious event took place, but although dark clouds have since then hovered over their fortunes and saddened their fate, this happy occurrence in Greece has not disappointed expectations or fallen short of its pro mise. The other day the KING opened the Chamber of Deputies in person and made an admirable speech. It is curious to compare the two speeches delivered in Berlin and Athens, and to notice the great contrast they display. In the former the old system of misrule and tyranny is being carried to a pitch that threatens to go beyond endurance, and in the latter a fresh and vigorous spirit of freedom and progress is manifested. Under the difficult cir cumstances in which the KING has been placed it is not likely that he could have done better than he has done, or that greater success could have attended his efforts. We may, therefore, fairly congratulate him and his people on the results of their past endeavours, and the promise of their future prospects, while we entertain a well-grounded conviction and indulge in a reasonable hope that time will bring these works to maturity, and testify to the good sense and right spirit of those who labour in them with zeal and courage. The King spoke in a hopeful tone of the manner in which he expected his communications to be received, and frankly explained the motives which actuated the Government in their various undertakings. 4 , The consolidation of public order" is one of the chief objects in view, and deservedly so, for no great or good works can flourish without it, and in Greece especially there has been ample cause for its engaging the attention of the rulers. There are many important duties before the Chambers, and matters of considerable moment will engage their notice ; but if the undertakings be carried on in the spirit which has characterised their commencement there need be no fear of their partial, if not entire, success. After so long a period of discord, and so many dissensions taking place, there is much for KING and Ministers to do to rehabilitate the position of affairs, and reinstate the community in order and prosperity. Is is an uphill work which is before them, but notwithstanding these disadvan tages we may predict an eventual extrication from doubts and difficulties if only the affairs of State be conducted with discretion, and the people strive to perform their part with moderation. All that the exigencies of the public service require seem to be fully considered in the sketch which is given in the speech from the Throne, and it only remains to hope that those to whom it was addressed will con sider the heavy responsibilities which devolve upon them, and so conduct themselves that peace may be firmly established in the land, and the attention of all be directed to those objects which most conduce to the public welfare. The papers relating to the recent Conferences between her MAJESTY'S Government and the Dele gates from Canada were yesterday laid before Par liament. The report of the Canadian Committee, which Lord Mo' , la: enclosed in his despatch to Mr. CARDWELL, recommends that four members of the i Council shall be sent to the mother country, to con fer with the Imperial Government upon five points. These are the proposed confederation of the pro vinces ; the necessary measures for the defence of Canada, and the extent to which it should be shared between Canada and England; the steps to be taken respecting the Reciprocity Treaty ; the settle ment of the North-west Territory ; and the gene rally critical state of Canadian affairs. All these subjects have been fully discussed since the arrival of the Delegates in this country, and it is very satis factory, at this critical moment, to learn that the Conferences have been conducted throughout in the most friendly spirit, and have given mutual satis faction. Of course, there could not be an absolute identity of opinion on every point, but the differ ences were not material, and the views and objects of both sides were sufficiently similar to secure har monious action. The Government appear, on the whole, to have decided the questions proposed to them in a fair and straightforward manner, and to have met the Delegates in a cor dial and liberal spirit. The Canadians, in deed, may well look with some suspicion on their foreign policy, especially with regard to North America, but the strong feeling of the Eng lish public would secure a more vigorous action on behalf of Canada if she were endangered, even if our present timid and temporising Foreign Minister still held the seals. The general opinion on the subject was unmistakeably shown in the debate on the Canadian defences this session, a debate which, we may reasonably hope, has not been without its effect across the Atlantic, on both sides of the St. ILawrence. The answers given on the five diffe rent points di6euffied between the representatives of The affairs of Greenwich Hospital have engaged a great deal attention lately, and the bill which has been introduced on the subject has given rise to a great deal of discussion, and in the course of the debates much has come out relating to mismanage ment and misappropriation. Last night the subject was again considered, and the bill was reported with amendments. Mr. C lIILDERS stated the neces sity of sending it as soon as possible to the Lords ; and it is to be hoped that it will be passed this ses sion, for some alteration is rendered imperatively necessary under the circumstances. Sir J. PARING TON questioned the course which the Government had taken in respect to Sir R. BRO3ILEY, and declared that that distinguished officer had not received his deserts at the hands of the Govern ment. It too often happens in these matters that a paltry economy creeps in and spoils the grace of what has been done by making unnecessary and the two Governments were on the whole favourable l vexatious alterations. Sir R. BROMLEY has deserved tot he wishes of the Canadians. As far as the Con- well of his country, and should not be treated in an f eaeration was concerned the Home authorities unhandsome manner, or even in a style that gives -willingly promised to exert all available influence to room for doubt and speculation as to the justice or secure its consummation without delay, but in point propriety of the arrangements at head-quarters. A of fact this is a matter which rests mainly with the Treasury minute was passed in 1854 which recog colonists themselves. We hope that the urgency of raised the great services which had been rendered by the present crisis will serve to bridge over the local Sir R. BROMLEY on eleven different occasions, in divisions and petty jealousies which have hitherto eluding the Irish famine, and these services had delayed the full prosecution of the scheme. We been given out of the sphere of his official duties. m. ay hope, indeed, that the Government of the Sir J. PAKINGTON, after discoursing upon the various nited States may not be so rash and so reckless as arrangements and alterations that had been made, to. provoke hostilities with this country, but very properly said that it was better a claim of the wo have no security for their wisdom or kind he referred to, "on the part of a distinguished their forbearance. The course which has been pur- servant, should be met by the generosity and good sued by President JOHNSON and his advisers, since feeling of the Government, rather than that he his accession to power, does not tend to reassure should be driven to establish it against them in a our natural anxiety on this subject, and the fact of court of law." The Attorney-General endeavoured so large a standing army being suddenly thrown, to do away with the impression which the right as it were, out of employment, gives good grounds hon. baronet's words had made ; but he only tried ' for a desire to trust rather to a vigorous system of the old plan of putting off, and leaving things vir defence than to the prudence or magnanimity of tually in statu quo. He said if Sir R. BROMLEY was powerful and unscrupulous neighbours. " Defence, able to satisfy the Government that he had the not defiance," may well be the motto of Canada ; rights which he claimed, they would admit them. and there can be no possible affront to America in This sounds very plausible to the uninitiated ; but so large and exposed a country putting herself in a who that knows anything of such affairs will believe condition of defence, commensurate with the value that any one can persuade a Government against its of her territory and the easiness of invasion during will, especially in the matter of money.

This will be an important step towards the reclama tion and cultivation of that vast tract of land, whose magnificent natural resources have been so long ne glected, and which should never have been fettered by the charter of a company. The assurances of the delegates that Canada was willing to devote all her resources to the mainte nance of her connection with the mother country were received with the acknowledgment that the Imperial Government fully recognised the obliga tion of defending every portion of the empire with all its resources. This assurance will carry confi dence and relief to the population of the provinces, while they are warned that England expects that they will do their share. We trust that our Ministry will act up to the letter and the spirit of their promises, and afford the Colonial Government every support and encouragement in procuring the consolidation of the provinces without delay. concerns. The close of the Cotton Famine is a cause for great national thanksgiving. The conclusion of the labours of Mr. FARNALL, as special commissioner, and the temporary dispersion of the central execu tive committee, may be accepted as the apparent close of the great calamity which at one time cast so terrible a shadow over one of our most important counties. During the height of the famine and its accompanying disasters few could have ventured to foretell that, in so few years, the aspect of affairs would have so entirely changed, yet the event has proved that the more sanguine view was also the more accurate ; and with the adjournment of the meeting on Monday we may hope that the Lancashire distress is also adjourned sine die. There can be but one opinion as to the conduct of the people during this severe and con tinuous trial. It has done honour to themselves and to their country, and has borne satisfactory evidence to the good results of the labours of our practical philanthropists. The fear which was expressed in some quarters that the ready relief given would pauperise the workers was quite unfounded, as is shown by the rejoicing over every re-opened mill. The liberality of the contributions was almost unparalleled, and it was especially gratify ing to find our colonists so prompt and liberal in their assistance. Australasia contributed the immense sum of £65,000, while Asia gave no less than £132,000, though part of this was the balance of the Indian Relief Fund. Altogether the misfortune has been met and borne with a gene rosity, a fortitude, and an endurance that does honour to our time, and we may now rejoice that PROVIDENCE has lightened the heavy burden and restored peace and plenty to thousands of working homes. The resuscitation of our great manufac ture is in every sense a blessing, and though it has not yet regained its former prosperity, still it has weathered the worst storm ever likely to befall it. The labours of the committee have been one of the primary sources of the order and good management of the relief which has suffered no one to perish from want, and has guarded as far as was possible against epidemic disease.. Mr. FARNALL'S task, which was most arduous, has been discharged in the most creditable manner, and so the committee which has held so many anxious meetings breaks up amid nothing but compliments and congratulations. The Handel Festival. All the arrangements for excursions on the various lines of railway arc now compl e t e, an d it ma y b e confidently anticipated that the country visitors to the Crystal Palace at the Great Rehearsal on Fri day next will not only be more numerous, but will be gathered together from more varied and far more distant localities than on any similar occasion at the Crystal Palace. To residents in all the princi pal towns on the Great Western, the Great Eastern, the Great Northern, the North-Western, and the South Coast Lines, opportunities will be afforded for attending this great musical display, at rates which, in some cases, will be lower than the price of admission to residents in London on the day, and, in other cases, with the smallest possible addition thereto. The lovers of Handel's music in places so remote from the metropolis, and in such different directions as Kelso, York, Liverpool, Hull, Yarmouth, Dover, Brighton, Portsmouth, and Bristol, with all the in termediate towns, may thus be assembled together on this occasion. It is expected that the rehearsal will be attended by a vast number of country persons who will be unable to spare the time necessary for the entire Festival. The rehearsal will commence at one o'clock. It will comprise selections from the " Messiah," " Saul," " Solomon," " Judas Macca bxus," and " Israel in Egypt," with the Coronation Anthem, " Zadok the Priest," composed by Handel for the coronation of George 11. The great duet, " The Lord is a man of war," will be sung by Mr. Santley and Her Schmid ; and Mdlle. Adelina Patti, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, and other principal artistes, will sing on the rehearsal day. Nearly 300 of the principal newspapers in the country and abroad have intimated their intention to send special reporters to the Festival, and the three upper galleries of the great centre transept will be devoted to the accommodation of the repre sentatives of the press. The Sacred Harmonic Society has issued advertise ments, stating that no more applications for assist ance in the orchestra can possibly be attended to, as not only is the list of performers quite full, but a considerable reserve is registered in every depart ment, to provide against illness or otherwise. The books of words, programmes, police arrange ments, &c., will be issued on Thursday morning. The screens enclosing the Great Transept of the Crystal Palace are finished, and the private boxes on either side of the r oyal box, in the gallery com ' municatin completion. Every the open corridor, are also rapidly approaching Every arrangement has, in fact, been made to insure a most successful result to this great under taking, which, occurring as it does only once in three years, has, besides its great musical interest, the charm of comparative novelty always attend ing it, LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) R 0 ME. (Via Marseilles.) ROME, JUNE 18. The negotiations between Rome and Italy have been interrupted in consequence of the Pope having rejected the conditions proposed by the Italian Government. Signor Vegezzi will remain at Rome until he has received a reply to a despatch which he has addressed to his Government at Florence. The French Emperor demanded that the ponti fical soldiers be commanded by General Monte bello. This has been refused by the Pope. His Holiness has remitted ten years of the sentence of Chevalier Fausti for conspiracy. Galmanello's term of imprisonment has also been reduced to six years. Thirty other political offenders have had their sentences reduced, and Ferry and ten others have been set at liberty. ITALY. FLORENCE, JUNE 20. The difficulties which have arisen in the negotia tions between the Italian Government and the Pope have not been overcome. The Florence papers of to-day express the opi nion that the negotiations will remain without any result. The Italian Government has revoked the orders issued during the American war in reference to the entry and the stay of ships of war of the United States in Italian ports. THE MISSING STEAMSHIP BOMBAY. BOMBAY, JUNE 15. The Bombay is reported to have arrived at Mauritius on the 22d May with broken shaft. MARSEILLES, JUNE 19. The Messageries Imperiales steamer Moeris left here to-day with mails, 48 passengers, and £56,080, for India and China, and £79,240 for Egypt. FRANCE. PARIS, JUNE 20. The Moniteur of this morning, in confirming the signature of the commercial treaty between France and Spain, says its principal object is the reciprocal suppression of the surtax upon articles imported overland. The Moniteur hopes that the Convention will be sanctioned by tho Cortes before the close of the session. BOURSE, June 19.—With the exception of Mexi can Stock—which, in the presence of the recent favourable news from that country, has experienced a further impetus—the markets have exhibited to day the same indications of weakness which have been the subject of so much conjecture during the past week—quotations in many instances having again receded, and an almost total indisposition being manifested on the part of operators to effect transactions. The Old Mexican Loan, which at the close of business on Saturday was quoted at 45i, has advanced to 46k, and dealings in the New Loan have taken place at 322. French Three per Cents. have been done at 66fr. 37i c. ex div.; and Mobilier Shares at 732 fr. 50c. Italian Fives have also failed to maintain Saturday's ruling rates, and are now at 66fr. 55c.

GREECE. ATHENS, June 10. The King opened the Chamber of Deputies yes terday in . person. After requesting the members to be seated, his Majesty delivered the following speech : " Gentlemen Deputies—l have pleasure in seeing around me the representatives of the people, for whom I feel a constantly increasing affection. I have the satisfaction to announce to you that my relations with foreign Powers remain friendly, and that the maintenance of those relations is one of the principal cares of my government. The consolida tion of public order has claimed particular attention from my government, whose conduct has been guided by the free exercise of the rights established by the nation and by royalty. I congratulate the Greek people upon having once more demonstrated during the elections that they are animated by the same spirit. Urgent and recognised wants concern ing the general administration of the State, the maintenance of public order, the assimilation of the legislation of the Seven Islands, now happily an nexed to that of the rest of Greece, solely within the limits demanded by the administration of those provinces, all have required to be dealt with imme diately by my government, by acts of the executive power. These acts will be submitted for legislative sanction, and I am persuaded that you will rightly judge both the motive which dictated them and the end they proposed to fulfil. My govern ment has considered that the gratitude due to the great guaranteeing Powers, and the good of the country itself, required the definitive settlement of the question of the loan of 60,000,000 drachmas. This settlement, by introducing order in our finances, and rendering the State budget a reality, will enable us to take seriously into consideration the fulfilment of our other obligations, and thus to establish our foreign credit. Negotiations have been opened with this object, and their result will be communicated to you in due course. By reason of the events of the last few years, the State budget shows a considerable deficit. My Government has attentively studied this important matter, and will lay before you dif ferent projects tending to establish a balance between revenue and expenditure. Moreover, as the Assem bly has not discussed the budget of the current year, this budget, as well as that for next year, will be laid before you during the session. " You will also have to examine bills relative to three questions of the highest importance, since they affect the moral and material welfare of the people —I allude to the partition of the national lands, the alienation of national territory upon which settle ments have been made, and the modification of the system of taxation. "My Government will also lay before you vari ous bills relating to the conditions to be required for nomination to the public service, to the educa tion of the different classes, and especially to a combination between primary instruction and the functions of the lower clergy, which, while meet ing the wants of the latter, will have the effect of improving and completing the moral and religious education of youth. Bills for administrative and municipal organisation, upon the basis of decentra lisation, economy, and the good government of the country, and for modifications to be introduced into the organisation of the tribunals for the purpose of making their jurisdiction correspond to the admini strative circumscriptions, will also be submitted to, you. " The attention of my Government has been directed to the measures to be adopted for the im provement of the army, which ought to be released as soon as possible from the discharge of duties foreign to its functions. You will have at the same time to discuss a more intelligent organisation of the National Guard. " The increase and the improvement of the means of communication, and the especial requirements of navigation, have already attracted the attention of my Government, which will lay before you different bills for these objects. Bills relative to the intro duction of a system of accounts at the consulates, and to the extension of their judicial functions, will be submitted to you. " I ask your patriotic and enlightened study of all these bills, which refer to the dearest interests of the nation. I am further most firmly convinced that the happiness of the country can only be at tained by the sincere application of our fundamental law. While invoking with you the blessing of the Most High, I now declare open the first session of the first Legislature." THE CAPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, June 19. The mail steamship Roman arrived here this after noon from the Cape, with 125 passengers and the usual mails, 169 bales wool, 106 bales skins, 7 packages aloes, 118 wet hides, 2,265 bags copper ore, 76 packages old copper, sundry small cases and parcels of wine, and 3 cases of old coins, value £5OO. Among her passengers is Mr. Baines, the Zambesi traveller. The mails have been landed and for warded by to-night's mail trains, and the Roman left to-night for Southampton. She left Table Bay on the 15th ; St. Helena, 26th; Ascension, 29th May ; and Madeira, June 12th. She was delayed three days off the Cape by a gale of wind, and experienced north-east winds towards the close of the voyage. At the Cape all was quiet on the frontier, but differences of opinion existed as to the probability of war. The Cape Town Advertiser and Mail says : --" In any case it is not probable that hostilities can be averted for any lengthened period, although no immediate apprehension of their outbreak is enter tained." From other sources it was doubted if there was existing occasion present or prospective to fear another native war. It was stated that there was a likelihood of a rupture between the Free State Re public and Les Cane, a petty chief of the Basuto tribe, and a vassal of the paramount chief Moshesh. In the present state of affairs it was not unlikely that such an occurrence might lead to a general war. Trade was still limited in the colony, through the late embarrassments at Port Elizabeth and the stag nation at Natal. The barque Rubens, from Liverpool for the Cape, went ashore in beating up to the anchorage in Table Bay on the night of the .9th of May. She became a wreck, and the vessel and cargo had been sold for £l,BOO. The ship Naturalist, from Calcutta for London, out sixty-two days, was spoken with on the sth of May in lat. 35 S., long. 20 E., and reports having on board four men, the only survivors of the crew of the ship Van Capellan, Capt. Sewell, of Liver pool, from Calcutta for Hull, which vessel capsized on the 16th of March in lat. 6 S., long. 83 E., in consequence of the cargo having shifted. The four men were picked up in a boat in a most exhausted state, having been driven about for fifteen days, during which time they were compelled to live on human flesh. Captain Sewell is not among those who were saved. LITERATURE. Life of Edward Irving. By Mrs. Oliphant. Fourth Edition. One vol., pp. 442. Hurst and Blackett. Mrs. Oliphant's impressive biography of that singularly gifted as well as eccentric being, the late Edward Irving, by its issue in this compact and beauti ful edition, takes rank henceforth (as the thirtieth volume of the series) in the Publishers' Standard Library— a Library as valuable as it is miscellaneous. So miscellaneous is this Library in its charac ter, that while the thirtieth volume in its periodical but uncertain issue is this Life of Irving by Mrs. Oliphant, one of the earlier volumes of the set, the eighth, in fact, comprised within it the " Recollections of the Last Four Popes," by his Eminence the late Cardinal Wiseman. Leading off with Sam Slick's " Nature and Human Nature"— a book that ought by rights, we have often thought, to have been been dubbed more accurately " Natur' and Human Natur"—Hurst and Blackett's Stan dard Library has embraced within it, books as varied in their character as Miss Dinah Mulock's enthralling tale of " John Halifax, Gentleman," Leigh Hunt's pleasantly garrulous and gossipping " Old Court Suburb," Sir Bernard Burke's very curious " Domestic Annals of the Aristocracy," Sergeant Peter Burke's equally curious "Romance of the Forum," Mr. Jeaffreson's delightfully anecdotal " Book about Doctors," the Hon. Mrs. Norton's powerful story of " Lost and Saved," Victor Hugo's wonderful Romance of convict and street life in France, " Les Miserables," a work that we hardly hesitate to pronounce the great poet's mas terpiece—and now, by way of vivid contrast to these and twenty other works not here particularised, the subscribers to the Messrs. Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library have had placed by the side of its twenty-nine predecessors upon the same bookshelf, Edward Irving's Life as it has been written by the hand of Mrs. Oliphant. It is not simply by any means a mere biography —a mere dry formal record of facts and dates about its hero. It is in many parts of it an earnest and even hn passioned panegyric. But it is so manifestly sin cere throughout in its enthusiasm that it is impos sible even for us, who—we will acknowledge it— don't sympathise the least atom in the world with the views set forth by this remarkable creature—a born genius if ever there was one—it is just simply impossible even for us to note the true and unaffected enthusiasm here evidenced by Mrs. Oliphant for the life and character of Edward Irving—and to do so altogether unimpressed ! It is a wonderful study of a truly wonderful and a purely exceptional idiocyncrasy. If regarded only in that light it is well worthy of examination. But among the surviving friends of Edward Irving, among his ardent admirers, among his devoted followers, the interest awakened by Mrs. Oliphant's biography of the man can be nothing less than absolutely enthralling.

TALLOW.—The market has been dull, without, however, any material change as regards quotations, P.Y.C. on the spot being 40s 9d ; all the month, 40s 6d ; and last three months, 42s per cwt. RAILWAY TRAVELLING IN 1865.—As Parlia mentary papers are preserved and form a portion of the history of the time, it is worthy of notice that there has just been placed among them an official report made by the Government Inspector of Railways, in which he makes the following statement in relation to railway travelling : " Gentlemen passengers, as well as railway officers of all classes, constantly refuse to travel singly with a stranger of the weaker sex, under the belief that it is only common prudence to avoid in this manner all risk of being accused, for purposes of extortion, of insult or assault." This may one day be thought a singular indication of the manners and customs of the English in the year of grace 1865. IRE ACCIDENT AT THE GROSVENOR HOTEL.— Yesterday afternoon Mr. C.

The following is the full text of the speech of lif• de Bismark on the closing of the Session of the Prussian Legislature : " Gentlemen, Members of both Houses,—His Nifties t / has deigned to charge me to close, in his name, the tW° Houses of Parliament. The country is indebted to the united efforts of the Parliament and of the Gov - ailme nt ' during the session which has just terminated, for the re newal of the Zollverein, the conclusion of treaties of corn" merce with France, England, and Belgium, a new law ° II mines, the settlement of the land tax in Silesia, the li n ; provement of the condition of invalids, the construction 0' various lines of railway, and many other useful laws. But the united efforts of the representatives of the country and of the Government could not achieve ally de cisive and complete results unless the welfare of the Nu n : try, even amidst political differences, had been the Oa °. point in view for all parties. It has not been so. Th e tention clearly manifested by the majority of the lieu!? °, Deputies to throw difficulties in the way of the councal°" f of the Crown has led to the rejection of a law on bank s ° a bill for the construction of railways in Eastern Prtv ie ' sl and has, consequently,beon detrimental to the material prcr sperity of the country. "By the rejection of the Army Bill the new organis 3ti l of the army, which was introduced with the consent ° preceding Parliaments, and which showed its value in the last campaign, has again been challenged to the detrim ent of the external situation of the country. " The House of Deputies has refused to allow the ° e l ; vernment to form a fleet in keeping with present tiraes 811 ,„ wants. It has refused the support whi c h it asked for "'a cull the fruits of the victories earned by the precious b l ° o shed lest year. It has even alienated itself from our 17 ' .. liant deeds of arms by refusing to vote the war expert ses ; " The Budget, which mus t b e es t a bli s h e d according„ Articles 62 and 99 of the Constitution, with the co-oPe ret° l in common of all bodies that p ar ti c ip a t e i n the framingl'o laws, has failed this year on account of the refusal of t'l/ House of Deputies to vote the indispensable estimates . "The House has rejected the demands which the Gove rn ' ment found it necessary to make. It has adopted resolw tions which the Government cannot carry out. Instead Of desirable harmony, the session closes again amid a reeiP t ° . cal coldness between parties which ought to act togeti l e o The Government of his Majesty has only one object a view—to shield the rights and the honour of the King an of the country, such as they are laid down in the Constitw tion, such as they may and ought to exist side by side. "It cannot be of any service to the country that i t ' 4 elected representatives should endeavour to seize tfl' att rights which are denied to them by their legal position 1 ° the constitutional path ; it is only by devoting that posit i° to co-operate in the work commenced by our Sovereigei and continued by him up to this day—a work the objec t which is to make Prussia great and happy under future Princes—that they will fulfil the mission entrusted ° them by the King's subjects. "The Government of his Majesty has exerted all itS efforts to fulfil the mission given to it by his MajeetY: i this sense, without allowing itself to be deterred by hos'iltes and wanton attacks . , in speech and writing.
