:onument to the Memory of the Late Duke of Wellington. Some seven or eight miles from Reading, a few feet inside the high road which leads from that town to Basingstoke, and just at the point where it skirts the London gate of the park of Strathfieldsaye, a monument to the memory of the late Duke of Wel lington has within the last few weeks been erected. The monument is a national one, but not in the sense that it has been raised at the cost of the public. Every passer-by may learn from itself whose the pious zeal which has placed it where it stands. Not long after the death of the great Duke a general de sire was expressed by his tenantry to testify their high appreciation of his character, particularly in his relations with them, and their deep regret for his loss, by means of some enduring memorial. They valued him for his considerate kindness, not less than he was admired by the world at large for his genius and success, and they were anxious to proclaim with what feelings he was regarded in a sphere into which the world did not penetrate. The wish gathered strength from day to day, and aided by the affectionate approval and assistance of the pre sent Duke it has at length been splendidly realised. The monument at its base consists of three courses of steps, each 18 inches high, the bottom course be- ing 30 feet square. Next comes a plinth of dressed granite, also formed of three courses, 12ft. square and 6ft. high. Upon this plinth rests a moulded base, from which rises a square block of granite 9ft. 6in. high, and 7ft. square, weighing 40 tons. On each of the four sides of this massive stone is a sunken panel. That in the front has inscribed upon it the word " Wellington." On the obverse are the words " Erected by Arthur Richard, second Duke of Wellington, and the tenants, servants, and labourers on the estates of his father, as a token of affection and respect." One of the remaining two panels bears the inscription "He was honoured abroad, for in all the might of conquest he was ever just, considerate, and humane;" the other, " He was beloved at home, for he had great power and ever used it well: He was firm in friendship, and his hand was open towards the poor." The solid stone bearing these inscriptions is surmounted by a moulded cor nice, from which springs a monolith column 30ft. high and3ft. 6in. in diameter, having a bronze base, and weighing 21 tons. Resting on this column, a composite capital of bronze, topped by four polished pieces of granite, forms- the pedestal of the statue, which is Bft. 9in. in height. The late Duke is re presented as wearing the uniform of a Field-Mar shal, holding in his left hand the hat belonging to that rank, while his right rests easily on his hip. The monument, which is altogether 82ft. high, has been erected by the Messrs. Freeman, proprietors of extensive granite quarries in Cornwall, in accord ance with the designs of Baron Marochetti, under whose immediate supervision all the bronze work has been cast. Its general appearance is one of se vere simplicity, combined, notwithstanding the soli dity of the materials, with lightness and elegance. The face of the statue looks from the park of Strathfieldsaye, across Heckfield-common, towards the Wellington College. The Duke of Wellington entertained yesterday afternoon his tenantry at dinner in honour of the successful completion of a work which he has long had very much at heart. The dinner took place in the tennis-court at Strathfieldsaye, and was nume rously attended. At its close the noble Duke, who was accompanied by Earl Staniiope, the Dean of Windsor, Sir R. Peel, Count Strzelecki, Sir It Murchison, Colonel M'Murdo, and several other gentlemen, gave the health of '• The Queen," observing that there was no quality for which the illustrions individual whom they had met to honour was more remark able than for loyalty to the Throne. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The Duke of WELLINGTON then gave " The Church," which was responded to by the Dean of WINDSOR ; and in the next " the Army," for which Colonel APAlußpo returned thanks, remark ing that the toast acquired more than usual inte rest and significance when taken in connection with the object for which those whom he addressed had assembled on that occasion. That object must re call to their minds the actions of that glorious old army which in the days of their fathers was led to victory by the splendid genius of him who directed its movements. (Cheers.) The efficiency of the army at the present day was no doubt, so far as the material of which it was composed went, all that could be desired ; but, be that efficiency what it may, they might depend upon it that it would be but of small avail in the hour of need unless it pleased God to confer genius on its commander. Such genius pre-eminently distinguished the great sol dier who led the British troops at Assaye and in the Peninsula, and he was proud to have the privilege that day of paying a tribute to his memory. (Cheers.) The Duke of WELLINGTON then proposed " The Health of Baron Marochetti," to whom, he said, was due whatever enjoyment those who looked upon the monument might derive from the contempla tion of the beauty of its design. (Cheers.) The toast was very cordially drunk, and was fol lowed by that of " The Messrs. Freeman," in giving which the noble Duke, referring to the great diffi culty of raising such immense blocks of stone as some of those of which the monument was con structed, said he did not know which to admire most, the exquisite polish of the material, or the mechanical genius which must have been applied in order to place it in its present position on Heck field-common. Mr. FREEMAN, sen., in returning thanks on his own behalf and for his son, stated that the difficul ties with which he had to contend in prosecuting the work were very great, but that he had been encouraged throughout by the undeviating courtesy of the noble duke, as well as by the idea that the monument was meant to do honour to the memory of that grand man, of whom not only England but Europe was proud. (Cheers.) Earl STANHOPE then rose And proposed " The health of the Duke of Wellington." (Cheers.) It would be easy for him, he said, to dilate on the many received grounds upon which that t oas t should b by those whom he saw around, as it hade already been received, with warmth. He n ee d not reminday them of the manner in which his grace had carried out their wishes in reference to the completion of the monument to his illustrious father, nor of the judg ment which he had displayed in selecting Baron Marochetti to set before them once more the familiar form of a hero now departed. Neither did he say a word as to the incessant attention which he had be stowed on all the details of the work, or the com plete success with which his efforts had been crowned. Those topics he would leave to the thoughts of those whom he saw around him, believing he would best be consulting the wishes of the noble duke by taking that course. But he must be allowed to say a word with respect to that great man whose memory they had met to honour, and whom the great majority of those present knew so well as tenants on his estates. He also knew him well. He had served under him as Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs when he was at the head of that department, and he had fre quently visited that spot, where he had held with him the most friendly verY f intercourse. With that intimate knowledge the great duke, he could safely say that if heree principle on which rather than another hisuwnpasu under all was based it was the determination N it circumstances to do or did d or his duty. (Cheers.)tmatter whether that duty related to great affairs o m f all, to the exi gencies of a kingdom or the wants s a parish. His was a mind which could grasp the greatest objects, and yet without effort or the sli g ht est feeling of de gradation deal with the most trivial. He recollected that an American statesman of great note Mr Webster—once told him that he himself had seen a sma ll pocket-book in which Washington, when Pre sident of the United States, had set down on one page something having reference to transactions of high public concern, while on the very next was an entry relating to some small local matter, such as the repair of a bridge or the construction of a road. Between Washington and the late Duke of Welling ton, though their characters were not often com pared, e, strong resemblance might, he thought, in that respect be traced, as well as in all essential points bearing upon duty and honour.

(Cheers.) as they would that others should do unto them, for It was but right, therefore, that his tenantry should though they were pleased to possess the franchise cherish his memory. It had not been riven to him, i themselves they persisted in refusing to others the or to them, to be with him at Assaye or in the Pe- right of voting. Mr. Langley, moreover, advised ninsula, or the crowning day of his glory at Water- his hearers to refrain from committing any violence, 100, when all the genius of Napoleon and all the because by behaving in an orderly manner they gallantry of the French soldiery broke themselves would hold up those who had " always been called against his columns in vain.

(Cheers.) The suggested that a petition should be signed by the more closely the character of the departed hero was chairman on behalf of the meeting, and sent to her examined the higher would be the admiration which Majesty, praying the dismissal of the Earl of Derby it must inspire, and he was happy to think that he from office and the recall of Earl Russell and Mr. had lived to a good old age to enjoy the honours Gladstone, in whom the people had profound con ,' which he had won.

There had been many monuments raised to the memory of the Great Duke, but he stood in no need of them. He had, by the fame of his exploits, fixed his name for ever on the page of history. Still, it was grateful to the feelings of those he left behind to see so enduring a testimony of the respect and affection of those who knew him best, raised as it were at the very threshold of his home. Count STRZELECKI having responded to the toast proposed by Sir R. Peel in a humorous speech, the company separated. Reform Meeting in Lincoln's-•inn-Fields. A meeting in favour of Reform, convened by the Working Men's Association, was held last evening in Lincoln's-inn-fields. According to the original programme, a procession headed by bands of music and banners was to have set out from Gough-square at 7 o'clock, and having marched through Fleet street and Farringdon-street, and having been joined by deputations from Clerkenwell and other places, was to have proceeded through Holborn and Queen street to the place of meeting. This design, however, was not carried out. At 7 o'clock there were about 150 persons- —men, women, and children—in Gough square, of whom not 40 appeared to belong to the working classes. Mr. Potter, Mr. Baxter Langley, and one or two other leading members of the Asso ciation stood moodily apart. A hitch in the pro ceedings had e\idently occurred, for no band was there ready to collect a crowd and lead them off to the place of meeting amid the enlivening strains of music. After a delay of about half an hour, Mr. Potter and his friends, attended by a rather scanty following, proceeded by the most direct way to Lincoln's-inn-fields, where a considerable crowd of the most composite materials bad already assembled. There was a large body of people who were merely spectators, a consiberable collection of roughs, and a still larger number of urchins who had poured out in hundreds, ragged and bare-headed, from the neighbouring streets and alleys. Before the arrival of the reinforcements from Clerkenwell, which did not take place until the proceedings were well ad vanced, the working men seemed almost lost amid the miscellaneous elements of which the motley gathering was composed. No preparations whatever appeared to have been made beforehand for the accommodation of the speakers, but as eight o'clock drew near a large coE.termonger's barrow was wheeled up close to the railings to the east of the Royal College of Surgeons, and was converted into a plat form by general acclamation. Mr. G. Potter was moved to the barrow amid loud cheers, and the proceedings were declared to have commenced. The CHAIRMAN said they were met not for the pur pose of making speeches, but by way of guarantee that they were resolved to have a large and compre hensive measure of Reform. In the house of Lords and the House of Commons men were found to slander the people, but the people would return the slanders twofold. (Loud cheering.) The enemies of the people had called the meeting of last night at the Agricultural-h a ll a " d on k ey s h ow ." (Laughter.) But they mi g ht re l y on it t h ey wou ld have a great many donkey-shows of that kind, for they would be repeated in all the towns of England. (Cheers.) The people would rise in their sovereign strength, and make such manifestations and demon strations during the winter as would convert the Tory party. The Times had been converted already, for it saw that it could no longer ignore such de monstrations as that of last night. (Hear, hear.) Mr. UPSHALL moved the first resolution, which pledged the meeting to " residential registered man hood suffrage, equal representation, and the ballot," &c., all of which, he contended, were essential to the freedom of the people. He congratulated his hearers on the fact that the Times had spoken well of their great meeting last night, and had given them credit for the excellent way in which they had managed it, but, he added, the Times had done so because it could not do otherwise. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. - - The resolution was seconded by lir. DAVIS, a painter, who exhorted the working men by their own exertions, instead of the efforts of others, to obtain those rights to which they hey o lfveNewpo were entitled. ed.

A large number of the Tories with a very " pretty , head" in the shape of the bishops prided themselves (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) In the week that ended on Saturday, July 28, the births registered in London and 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,147; the deaths registered 4,356. The annual rate of mortality was 37 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,016 boys and 973 girls, in all 1,989 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years 1856-65 the average number, corrected for increase of popula- Lion, was 1,966. The deaths registered in London during the week were 2,600. It was the 30th week of the year; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,387. The deaths in the present return exceed by 1,213 the estimated number. The excess of deaths is caused entirely by cholera and diarrhoea. 904 deaths by cholera, 349 by diarrhea were registered in the week, making in the aggregate 1,253 deaths. The deaths by cholera in the last five weeks have been 6, 14, 32, 346, and 904; by its allied disease, diarrhoea, 67, 102, 150, 221, and 349. The epidemic takes the form of diarrhoea chiefly in young children ; thus 309 of the 349 deaths from diarrhoea last week were children under five years of age, including 244 infants. Of cholera 179 children of the same age died ; 160 boys and girls of five and under 20 years of age ; 455 men and women in the prime of life ; and 110 people of ages above 60. It is a peculiarity of the case that the greater part of this slaughter in seven days of 1,253 people of all ages took place within a limited portion of the Lon don area. 924 of the deaths, 811 by cholera and 113 by diarrhoea, were registered in the six districts of Bethnal-green, Whitechapel, St. George-in-the- East, Stepney, Mile-end Old-town, and Poplar, in cluding Bow, among about a seventh part of the pepulation of London and on one-fourteenth of its area. The attack extends all along the north side of the Thames, from the river Lea and the Isle of Dogs to the Tower of London. Limehouse-basin and the Regent's-canal are the central line of the attack, which stretches as far north as Victoria Park. This is essentially the port of London, inhabited by its mari time population. The canals and the basin are full of foul water, and are apparently connected with the Limehouse-cut, the Hackney-cut, and the River Lea. The East London Waterworks Canal draws its supply from the river at Lea-bridge, where there is a reservoir, and runs for a couple of miles by the side of the Hackney cut down to its other reservoirs north of Bow and near the Lea. The present cholera field derives its waters from these works. It is right to add that the water has hitherto borne a comparison with the other London water in Dr. Frankland's analyses. To-day at Poplar the water looks clear, and no complaints are made of its quality. The company will no doubt take exemplary pains to filter its waters ; but it is not easy to guarantee the purity of water drawn from such a river as the Lea, in dan gerous proximity to sewers, cuts, and canals. Whoever will take the trouble to go among the people now suffering in crowded dwellings will see the danger of the water-butt ; poor women are washing the dirty linen of patients with water drawn from those vessels, which are often found close to water-closets. It would be a source of additional safety to London if tanks and butts were abolished, and the pipes were filled on the system of constant supply. The time has come for this reform. The mortality is overwhelming in some .of the dis tricts. In Poplar alone 145, in Bow 188 people died last week, including Dr. Ansell, the meritorious health officer, and Mr. Ceeley, clerk to the Board of Works, whose name figures on the placards. The people are falling ill every hour ; you see them of all ages, children and adults, lying about their beds like people under the influence of a deadly poison, some acutely suffering, nearly all conscious of their fate and of all that is going on around them. Here the doctor is drawn in by the husband to see the wife now attacked ; there the husband lies in spasms ; here is an old woman seated dead, with eyes wide open ; there lies a fine four-year old child, his curly head drooping in death, but his mother says the pulse is strong, and he takes what she gives him. An older brother just recovered is running about. Several wards of the London Hospital are full of patients, many of them very young children in all stages of the disease ; some dying, some well again and playing. The medical men have no rest, and with the health officers are nobly doing their duty; brave men ready to lay down their lives for their patients. The people themselves are most patient ; most willing to help each other, the women always in front, and none shrinking danger. There is no desertion of children, husbands,wives, fathers, or mothers from fear. In the midst of this scene the authorities have been, to some extent, paralysed. The nuisance in spectors are not sufficiently numerous, neither are the medical officers. The administrative work has not been organised with sufficient promptitude, and is not carried out with sufficient energy. Such a calamity as this may well call forth the whole resources of London, and what is especially wanted is executive power well organised in con junction with the medical health officers. The people of East London want help. . The annual rate of mortality last week was 44 per 1,000 in London, 24 in Edinburgh, and 20 in Dub- lin ; 21 in Bristol, 19 in Birmingham, 47 in Liver pool, 38 in Manchester, 27 in Salford, 27 in Shef field, 33 in Leeds, 25 in Hull, 33 in Newcastle upon-Tyne, and 26 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 31 per 1,000 during the week ending the 14th inst., when the temperature was 0.4 deg Fahrenheit lower than the same week in London, where the rate was 26 per 1,000. In Liverpool, of the 440 deaths returned last week 87 were referred to cholera, against 45 fatal cases in the previous week. The 45th deaths in South ampton, showing an annual rate of mortality equal to 43 per 1,000, included 24 from cholera, showing a decpease of five upon those of the pre vious week. The following deaths were certified as from cholera in the remaining large towns of Eng land furnishing weekly returns :—Manchester and Salford, eight; Bristol, two; Leeds, four; New castle-on-Tyne, two; Sheffield, two; and Hull, three. No fatal cases of cholera is noticed in the Birming ham returns. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29-842 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.09 in. on Wednesday to 29.48 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.3 deg., which is 2.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 74.4 deg. on Thursday. The lowest night temperature was 46.5 in., on Monday. The entire range of tem perature in the week was, therefore, 27.9 deg. The mean of the highest temperature of the water of the Thames was 651 deg. ; that of the lowest was 64.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 78, complete saturation being represented by 100. Rain fell on Friday to the amount of 0 . 09 in. Nearly two and a half inches of rain fell during the week in Manches ter and Salford, Leeds, and Sheffield. National Artillery Association. The annual prize meeting of the National Artil lery Association commenced yesterday at Shoebury ness. Over 800 men are located there. The growing interest felt in the progress of the association may be seen from the fact that there are detachments present from Aberdeen, the Cinque Ports, Durham, Essex, Hants, Kent, Kincardineshire, Lancashire, Lincoln, Middlesex, Northumberland, Sheffield, Shropshire, Surrey, Sussex, and the Tower Hamlets. The detachments generally consist of ten men each, but several counties have increased that number. The Cinque Ports send eleven detachments, Shef field three, and many others a similar number. The bell tents are ranged in long lines according to military regulations, with five non-commis sioned officers and gunners to each tent. In the case of officers a tent is occupied by two persons only. The camp is under the command of Colonel Fisher, R.A., directly appointed by the War office, and the Council have appointed Lieutenant Colwell, of the Cinque Ports Artillery, to be bri gade-major; Captain M'Kown, camp adjutant; Dr. A. B. De Lisle Allen, Ist iNliddlesex Artillery, surgeon ; the Rev. Dr. Cross, chaplain ; and Cap tain Beveridge, 12th Kent Artillery, and Lieutenant Starkey, 4th Cinque Ports Artillery, commissariat officers. The prizes are named after the Houses of Lords and Commons, the Duke of Cambridge's, the Prince of Wales's, the Duke of Wellington's, the Marquis of Hartington's, and Her Majesty's. Other prizes will be given in the form of badges by the association. The prizes will be distributed by the Under Secretary of State for War. The National Rifle Association have intimated their in tention of giving a prize of £5O. The targets were moored out at sea, at 1,250 and 1,500 yards range, each competing detachment to fire five rounds. Nothing could be more unfavourable than the tempestuous weather throughout the day, for the rain poured down in such torrents that the tar gets at sea could with difficulty be seen. The business of the day was confined to shooting for the Lords and Commons' prize at 1,250 and 1,500 yards. There were about 500 competitors, but in consequence of the late hour to which the firing was prolonged the results must be deferred. O►ie of the Brighton detachments made 28, the highest on the list when the report was despatchlid. The Liverpool Volunteer Artillery. O Saturday were On Saty night the 4th Lancashi re A r till ery Volunteers inspected by C o l one l Cox. After the corps, under the com man d o f M a j or Bushby, had gone through the usual movements, the inspecting officer addressed them to the following effect : He was extremely pleased to have had a second time the opportunity of inspecting the 4th Lanca shire Artillery Volunteers. He thought that upon the last occasion he expressed his satisfaction and pleasure at what he had seen. Th ey made a very great impression upon him on that occasion, and he was happy to say that that impression was not now lessened. He was very much p l eased with what he had seen that evening. The weather had been very ' unpropitious for such an inspection, but he was ex ceedingly pleased with the w a y i n which they had turned out. Their appearance on parade was ex tremely smart and soldierlike, their accoutrements were well put on, and altogether they were a body of men which the country might feel proud of. He was very much pleased to see their four guns and horses in the field ; he believed they were not pre sent on the last occasion. He was gratified to see how well they were moved. Field artillery in the hands of Volunteers had very great difficulties to contend with ; having to manage untrained horses was a matter of great difficulty for even well-trained drivers. He had been very well satisfied with what he saw. Their marching past he could not say too much in favour of ; he was very much pleased with it. Their movements generally, and their manual and platoon drill were also well done, and he had no doubt they would have been still better had it not been for the weather. He had no fault to find with them. lie was glad also that he had not the fault to find that he sometimes had with Volunteers —of speaking in the ranks ; on the whole, he thought there was very little of that. He was gra tified to see that they had kept their distances fairly, an important point in all infantry movements, be cause, although they might not see any difficulty when alone, yet, when several brigades and corps were together, the want of keeping their distance threw out those in the rear. He had not yet seen them go through their heavy gun drill; but he trusted, when he had the opportunity that evening, that it would be equally well done. This was the most important part of their duties ; for in case of actual service the great duty of the Volunteer Ar tillery of England would be to man the coast de fences. He was also glad to see that they had in their shed two guns set on dwarf traversing plat forms. They had a great advantage over other corps in ipossessing them, because these were the guns with which our forts were principallyarmed.l He only wished t o i mpress upon them theimport ance of every man in the corps being thoroughly accustomed to the heavy gun drill, so that they would be able to work together without making noise and confusion. They should be Ole to work together like a machine. He was very much grati fied with them. He had inspected a very large por tion of the Volunteer Artillery in the north of Eng land, and he had always been able to hold up the Volunteer Artillery of Liverpool as an example to other corps; and lie must say that the corps he had inspected that evening was second to none. They had, however, r i va l s wort h y o f them ; and it was a good thing for them that they were able to mea sure themselves with othe r corps equally efficient— an advantage which the corps in smaller towns and country districts did not possess. He was pleased to see so good a parade-430 out of a muster-roll of 550, a very good muster. He hoped they would go on in the same spirit. The Volunteer Artillery of England was a force of which the nation might well be proud. No other country possessed such a force. He only wished it was possible that the Duke of Cambridge and the Prince of Wales could have the opportunity of seeing the artillery corps of Liverpool, and if he met their Royal Highnesses at the York review he would ex press his hop e th at they wou ld t a k e the opportu nity of doing so. lie had nothing further to say except that he should make a favourable report to the War-office. The Cholera. Yesterday, at the meeting of the directors and guardians of the poor, held at the Vestry Hall, Cam den-town, Mr. Churchwarden Eckett in the chair, from the statement made by Dr. Hillier, the medi cal officer of health, and others, it appeared there had been nine fatal cases of cholera in the parish during the last week, seven of which were of the true Asiatic type, and had terminated fatally within 24 hours. It was felt that, seeing how cholera was ravaging the east-end districts, it was high time they should make every preparation to meet the epidemic. The sudden outbreak of cholera in Whitechapel is bringing the resources of the London Hospital to the severest test. The officers of the establishment are painfully conscious of the degree to which their ordinary means are inadequate to meet the visita tion, and especially do they feel the want of more ample supplies in money and brandy. Another shortcoming is the attendance; for while there should be an immediate increase to the number of nurses, two of these important helpmates have already been carried off by the disease. A poor woman named Ellen Pridham was yester day charged with being drunk and disorderly in the infirmary of the Poplar Union Workhouse, where she had been in attendance on cholera patients. Mr. Paget sentenced her to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour. About 2 hours afterwards Roche, the gaoler of the court, announced that the prisoner was attacked with cholera in the cell in which she was confined, and was in a very frightful con dition. Mr. Paget said that a medical man had better be sent for directly to see the sick woman and prescribe for her. It was stated that all the medical men were too busy in consequence of the prevailing epidemic. Mr. Paget, after consulting with Mr. Pym, the chief clerk, decided that the invalid should be sent back to Poplar workhouse, and a cab having been hired she was lifted into it in a state of severe suffering and driven away. The housekeeper of the court immediately prepared a solution of chloride of lime and disinfected the cell in which the woman had been incarcerated. He also threw a large quantity over the floor of the court. The total admissions of cholera patients up to yesterday at the Liverpool workhouse were 91, the deaths 58. Four more deaths were reported yester day from the town. At their meeting yesterday the select vestry respectfully declined the proffered ser vices of the sisters of charity in cholera cases. At the workhouse five more deaths have occurred since yesterday. A death is said to have occurred in Dublin on Friday from Asiatic cholera of the most decided type. A girl, aged 15, returning from England, landed on Thursday at the North-wall from the Liverpool steamer, being unwell at the time, as it was supposed from sickness. Her illness soon became so severe that the services of a medical man were called into requisition. The Count de Kavanagh was brought into attendance, but notwithstanding the most unremitting attention the girld died on.Friclay afternoon at one o'clock. The police communicated the facts to Dr. Mapother, the city officer of health, and to Dr. Kirwin, city coroner, both of whom ex amined the remains, and came to the conclusion that the cause of death was too plainly evident. Dr. Kirwin ordered the immediate interment of the body. However the contagion was not thus got rid of, as it unfortunately proved ; for on Monday morning a child residing in the same house was taken ill with the same dis ease. Dr. Mapother was in immediate attendance, and, owing to the energetic means adopted by him, by night she was considered out of danger. The wife of a ship carpenter died of cholera at Montrose on Saturday last, after an illness of 22 hours. Deceased arrived from London, where she bad been on a visit, on the previous evening. GREAT FIRE IN MANCHESTER. Yesterday evening, at half-past 9 o'clock, a firo was dis covered in the waste warehouse of Messrs. Butterworth and Co. (limited), Union-street, Ancoats, Manchester, close to the canal. The premises are a square block of buildings, seven stories high, and of a length and breadth which we may indicate by saying that the rows of windows include nine each way. At the south end, nearest Great Ancoats street, there is a building of two stories, containing tho counting-house. Next to this, in the some direction, is an extensive timber-yard, belonging to Mr. Andrew Wilson. The north end of the main building is formed by a dead wall, and is separated by only a few feet of space from Messrs. Mitchell's weaving mill. To the east of Messrs. Butterworth's warehouse is Alum-street, a very narrow thoroughfare, the east side of which is occupied at that point by Messrs. Jackson's smallware mill. On the west side of the waste warehouse is the canal, and along the west bank of this is Union-street, the west side of which is occupied by the mills of Messrs. M'Connell and Messrs. Murray. The waste warehouse is constructed with fire proof floors. At the counting-house end is a staircase leading from the ground up to the top story, where the fire appears to have originated. It spread with great rapidity along this story, but so effectual was the fireproof floor in preventing the flames from travelling directly downwards that they only communicated by the stairway, till on reaching the level of the upper story of the counting-house the fire made its way through a window into the latter. In the meantime the intervening stories of the waste warehouse had remained intact. Their apparent security continued until about 11 o'clock, but the flames had by that time communicated, it is supposed, by way of a hoist hole through the floor, with the story immediately below, and thence in the course of another hour there were appearances of the fire having reached another stage in its progress downward. It was feared that the firo would gradually extend by the hoist-hole to the lower floors in succession. The fire bri gade, under Mr. Sergeant Tozer, began to arrive very soon after the discovery of the fire, and in the course of a short time the whole force of the town had been concentrated on the spot. There seemed to be an abundant supply of water, but the jets could not reach the upper storey from the level of the street. Firemen who had scaled the roofs of build ings in the timber-yard were able" to play upon the top storey with somo effect, but not so as to prevent the whole of that floor being consumed before 11 o'clock. Tho roof had fallen in about 10.15, and this was the cause of a sud den burst of flame which cast a glare over the whole city. The top flooring had given way and fallen in by 11.15, when some progress had been made by the conflagration in the storey beneath. By this time the efforts of the brigade had been directed principally to the floor below that. About 11 o'clock the counting-house appeared to be in the utmost danger, but by prompt exertion the spread of the flames in this direction was checked. It was some hours later before the fire was put out. Damage roughly esti mated at £30,000 to £40,000. Suspected Murder of a Woman. The town of Lancaster was thrown into great excitement on Monday by the report of the death of an elderly widow, under circumstances which throw suspicion on one of her sons. The deceased was Eleanor Hewartson, the widow of Mr. John Hewartson, a cooper and timber merchant, who carried on an extensive business in the town some years before his death, which took place about seven or eight months since. The inquest was held on Monday afternoon, when it transpired the deceased had been seen drunk on Saturday night at 9 o'clock ; that a noise had been • heard in the house about midnight, as of something falling ; that deceased not making her appearance on Sunday, the house was broken into in the evening by one of the neighbours and a married son of the deceased ; and that her body was found in the parlour, in a condition which at once aroused suspicions of foul play. The medical evidence disclosed the fact that nine of the deceased's ribs were broken, and there was a severe wound on the head, which was the immediate cause of death, and that the body. generally exhibited marks of violence. The face and head had the appearance of having been washed, and there were marks of blood on the lobby floor which had been partly cleaned up, but blood had run under the lobby cloth. William Hewartson, a son of the deceased woman, was apprehended on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder, and subsequently he made a statement in which he said that he found his mother in the yard about 11 o'clock on Saturday night; that ho dragged her into the house, and laid her down in the lobby; that on Sunday morning he came downstairs about 4 o'clock, and placed her on the sofa ; that, on coming down again at 7, he found her on the floor, and that he washed her face ; and at half-past 12 he went out of the house and did not return againtill night. He added that deceased told him to lock the door. The Coroner, in summing up, said deceased must have been dead some hours when she was left by her son. The Jury, after an absence of half-an-hour, found " That deceased mer her death by the injuries to the head, but how they were inflicted there was no evidence to show." Wm. Hewartson was still retained in custody. CONFESSION OF MURDER BY A FENIAN.—A man named Kearney has given himself up to the police as the murderer of Clarke, in February last, on the banks of the Royal Canal, near Dublin. He alleges he was told off along with some other Fenians to assassinate Clarke, who was suspected of being an informer. Kearney declares that he fired the fatal shot. He was to be brought before the magi strates. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. MORNING HERALD.--The preliminaries of peace having been signed, and an armistice of four weeks concluded, which will last throughout the greater part of the month of August, the war between the German Powers may be considered at an end. Ample time is allowed for the conclusion of the treaty of peace in all its details, for which purpose the re presentatives of the Powers will meet at some neu tral town, probably in Switzerland. The Treaty of Basle, or Geneva, or whatever it may be, will define the limits within which the rival powers of Austria and Prussia will be suffered to extend henceforth ; will settle the position of the minor States, whose interests or whose very existence have been at stake in this struggle. To Italy it will give Venetia, not conquered by her, whom Austria has defeated both by land and by sea, but won by the prowess of her powerful ally of the north, whose triumphant arms, aiming at the very heart of Austria, have forced her, in the instinct of self-preservation, to let Venice go. Dreadful things are predicted as likely to arise out of this feeling of the Italians that what they have gained has not been achieved by themselves, in spite of all their patriotism and the prodigal expenditure of the seven years since Villafranca. We may pre sume, however, that calm reflection will convince them that they are fortunate in earning so much when they might have lost all ; will suggest to them that they must needs be satisfied, when their ally is content, that the dubious successes of their Volun teers and the triumphs of the Medici Brigade over an unseen enemy, are scarcely such as to entitle them to claim from Austria the cession of half of the Tyrol, Istria, and Trieste. After the misfortunes of Custozza and Lissa Italy will hardly stand in need of the persua sion of France to induce her to agree to a peace which will leave her mistress of herself " from the Alps to the Adriatic." We are faster than our fore fathers in all things ; we live faster, we grow faster, we fight and we die faster. The old middle-age 30 years' war in Germany, compared with the Italian campaign in 1859, or this war in 1866, was as the old stage coach or the semaphore, compared with the steam trains, and the electric telegraph. It took the Great Frederick seven years to accomplish far less than his successors have done in a fortnight. The founder of Prussian monarchy built up a sort of skeleton of empire, his successor has rounded that anatom into a magnificent whole. Whatever else these preliminaries of peace may signify, they mean this—that Prussia has conquered and that Austria has for ever resigned the right to rule in Germany. All Germany north of the Maine is to be formed into a confederation under the leadership of Prussia. Southern Germany, with which a separate armistice has been concluded, is to be left free to form a sepa rate confederacy if it chooses, but Austria is to take no part in such a confederacy. The victory of Koniggratz is admitted to be decisive. Prussia, supreme in Northern Germany, will be allowed, whenever it may seem convenient to her, to take under her wing also Bavaria, Baden, and Wurtem burg. Austria will have nothing to do with such combinations. She retires from Germany; she ceases to be a German Power ; she takes along with her German peoples, who must consent to accept her fu ture of Sclavonic empire. The inhabitants of Moravia, of,the Archduchy of Austria, of the Salzburg country, Styria, and the German Tyrol, will have henceforth no part in the future of the German fatherland; like a rolling snowball, Prussia is gathering around her the scattered elements of the great Teutonic nation ality. It will be for her to decide how soon she may mediatise or annex the independent countries which are to form the Confederation of the North. She proposes to annex at once a large part of Hanover, the whole of Electoral Hesse, Nassau, and the free city of Frankfort. The Emperor of the French has extended his aegis over Saxony, and Saxony, for the present, will remain an independent sovereignty. With the exception of a small portion of Northern Schleswig the Danish Duchies, it is said, will be an nexed to Prussia. The reversion of the Duchy of Brunswick, which would-have fallen to Hanover, is to be secured to Prussia on the demise of the reign ing Duke. The part of Hesse-Darmstadt which lies north of Frankfort-on-the-Maine will also be claimed by Von Bismarck. All Germany, to the north of the Maine river and the Erz and Riesen mountains, will be in the power of the King of Prussia, in whose presence the rulers of Saxony, and the restricted state of Hanover, the Princes of Mecklenburg and Oldenburg, and the burgomasters of the northern Hanse towns of Hamburg and Bremen, will be but viceroys whose very existence depends on a nod from Berlin. All this has been achieved by the modern strategy, the modern artillery, the modern arms of precision, of the King of Prussia, opposed to the ancient armaments, the time-honoured methods of warfare on which the Austrians relied. It has been a struggle of the old wcrld against the new, in which the new has triumphed. Austria retires from Germany. Her centre is now in Hun gary, and she is left to carry out a programme of her own in the East. She will escape mutilation. She will not be called upon, probably, to forfeit a square mile of territory. She is not the less huini hated. She will fade out of the modern world, just as Prussia advances to take her nlace in the foremost rank of the Powers. But there is a strength which belongs to age, and that Austria can claim. There is a weakness which is peculiar to new and ill-cemented Powers. Austria is more compact, and better knit together than this new and mushroom empire of the King of Prussia. Were any occasions of strife to arise which should issue in a general convulsion, a war in which all the great Powers of Europe should take part, it might happen that the fabric built up with the newest mortar would yield to the shock which would leave Austria scatheless. Such a trial of stability we would, how ever, most earnestly deprecate. We are doubtful whether Prussia has gained much, we do not believe that Austria has lost much, by the issue of this war. The Northern Power has mounted suddenly to a height which makes it the envy of Europe. It has taken into its hands the reins of those Teutonic steeds which many a Phaeton be fore it has essayed vainly to drive. Its eminence is the more dangerous as the success of its adven ture is feared. The Southern Power emerges from the struggle half beaten, half triumphant. It has checked the insolence of Italy ; it has succumbed to the needle guns of Prussia. It retires within limits which leave it ample scope for extension, while they secure it from envy and save it from being the butt of nationalities. Perhaps, after all, the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary has as great a role to play as the would-be Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia, as large an opportunity of power, with fewer elements of disaffection, and less need to maintain armaments at a ruinous cost to the people. TIMES.—The recent occurrences in Hyde Park have forced one abuse on the attention of the public for which a remedy ought to be at once provided. Our columns have contained numerous letters de scribing outrages which have been committed in the Park after dusk. As depicted by those correspon dents, Hyde Park at night is a scandal to the civi lisation of London. It appears to be worse than Hounslow Heath in its worst times. As night comes on, a mob of ruffians of the lowest class collect in the Park and waylay every respectable passenger. They are not always content with merely robbing and annoying him, or even with simply robbing him. They set upon him in some cases with sticks and bludgeons, and, if he attempts to make a defence, it is well if he escapes without some very serious injury. In one case they attacked a young woman, and so maltreated and insulted her that she now lies seriously unwell. Their num bers are very considerable. A gentleman whose letter we published yesterday represents himself as being attacked by as many as 40 to 50 at once, and these, if we may judge by other accounts, would be only one portion of the ruffianly mob. It is abund antly clear that at the present moment no man can attempt to cross the Park at night without exposing not only his property, but his person, and even his life, to serious danger. Even if two or three per sons were to cross together, they would probably be unable to defend themselves. It is hopeless to look for any protection from the guardians of the public peace. The police are never in the park except, by special order, and the park-keepers are too few to be of any service, even if they were ever to be found abroad after nightfall. The extent of this abuse at the present moment is no doubt due to the recent disturbances, which have served to indicate to the scoundrels of London how convenient a field of operations is afforded by Hyde-park. But it is notorious to those who live in the vicinity of the Park that the state of things which now prevails is merely an aggravation, and not a very great aggra vation, of its ordinary condition. Before the pre sent disturbances were thought of, no man who re garded the safety of his character or his person would willingly trust himself to the park after dusk. It is at all times of the year the familiar refuge of the lowest and most disreputable classes. Especially through the summer nights, when an encampment on the turf is far more agreeable than a den in Whitechapel or a kennel in St. Giles's, the Park affords an unmolested retreat to casual paupers, thieves, prostitutes, and even worse characters. There they revel without the slightest interference, and the scenes of " the casual ward," or worse, are repeated every night in the open air in the very heart of London. The cause of such a scandalous state of things is equally well known. It is principally due to the careless custom which now prevails of simply locking up the Park at nightfall, without paying any regard to the persons who may happen to be in it. At 10 o'clock at this time of year the park-keepers close the gates and go to bed. Any respectable person who hap pens to be late must either be content to pass the .•••••••••.•• night with thieves and ruffians, or must get out by climbing over the railings. But by the same proceed ing all the respectable world is locked out, and the scoundrels we refer to have only to wait until the gates are closed in order to be sure of being un molested until the morning. Such a practice is most lazy and inconsiderate. It at once inflicts a great hardship upon resp ec t a bl e peop l e, an d i s th e greatest boon to rogues and vag a b on d s . It i s a s candal to our civilisation that such proceedings as those wh- 1 1 prevail in Hyde P ar k a t n i g ht s h ou ld b e tolerated anywhere. It is monstrous that they should b 5 protected and facilitated in the very centre of the most wealthy and prosperous part of London. The Government will be greatly to blame if th e Y allow the present occasion to pass away without re" moving this great abuse. One point of the griev ance might be at once remedied without the slightes t difficulty. If the g a t es mus t b e s h u t a t a certain hour, a means of escape ought to be provided for those who may happen to find themselves imprisoned Nothing is necessary fo r thi s p ur p ose b u t to acl°l ) an obvious expedient, which is already in use at the entrance to the Green Park. This consists simply in a turnstile which will admit of passage outwards but not inwards. If such a device is available on one side of Piccadilly, it is equally available on the other. This would afford a means of escape to the, respectable portion of th e p u bli c ; b u t it would, of course, do nothing to rid the Park of the gangs P. ruffians who take shelt er i n it. F or this purP°s.: it is essential th a t by some means or o ther —It is not our business to indicate the precis e method--the Park should be cleared every Ing h ., before the gates are closed. Ab ove a ll things 1 " should be lighted ; these evil-doers delight in darl , ness, and shun the gas-lamp, which reveals their iniquities. If the Park were properly lighted an d ; efficiently patrolled, if honest men could get out?' it without risk of breaking their necks, and if 6118 " honest ruffians only lingered in it to find them selves dispersed and arrested, the reign of terro r now established after nightfall would cease. These precautions would not only put a stop to th? scandalous scenes which n o w p reva il througlion" the night, but would probably furnish the best protection to the public from the dangers which now beset them at nightfall. It is the certainl that they can remain in the Park all night which attracts to it so many bad characters, and if they were certain to be driven out they would not find it worth while to come so far from their customary haunts. This would be a somewhat difficult task, no doubt, but it must be unde r t a k en . Nor is . only Hyde Park in which a similar measure ough t to be adopted. Whatever else the parks may be: they should not be the chosen resort of the viers" characters in London. After a certain hour they now cease entirely to be places of quiet and re creation, and become instead the haunts of vic e and the only public quarters of London in which a man cannot safely trust himself. In short, under the present arrangements they are under no stiff". cient protection, and it is imperative that some more effectual system should be at once organised. COUNTRY MARKETS. LEEDS—TUESDAY.
