Wrighton. who will ever be remembered and thanked for his charming ballad, Her bright smile haunts me still,' has just issued a sweet little song, commencing Grieve not for me love.' It is in the key of D, in six-quaver time, and ranges from Dto F sharp—or within the compass of a tenth. The air is very pretty and tender, is easy, and sings smoothly and pleasantly. Another of Mr. Wrighton's latest compositions is his ballad, Thby tell me lam quite forgot.' This is in B flat, common time. It is a very ex pressive song, and would well suit a good tenor voice, capable of delivering it with some degree of impassioned feeling. The accompaniment is simple, yet very appro priate."—Vide Scarborough Gazette, Olt. 4.

Last evening the council of the British North American Association entertained at a sumptuous banquet, given at the Albion Hotel, Aldersgate-streot, the delegates from Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, who had undertaken a visit to this country with the view of arranging measures for the federation of the provinces of British North America. The chair was filled by the Hon: A. Kinnaird, M.P. The dinner was an excellent one. After the removal of the cloth the loyal and patriotic toasts were given. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of her Ma jesty's Ministers," with which he coupled the name of the Earl of Cat narvon. (Cheers.) Having referred to the ser vices rendered to the colonies by the late Duke of New castle and Mr. Cardwell, the chairman said he had no doubt the noble earl on his right was as anxious as either of his predecessors could have been to carry out the great objects which the delegates present on that occasion had in view. (Cheers.) The Earl of CARNARTON, in responding to the toast, said he wished there were more of his colleagues present to share the honour that had been done to him. The chairman had ex pressed a hope that he (the Earl of Carnarvon) felt the same interest in those great colonial questions which came before him, as the Minister more specially charged with the care of the colonies, as had been evidenced by his predecessors. He could answer for this, that whatever difference there might have been between himself and his predecessors in political matters, there was no difference in this, that they all claimed a deep an d s i ncere i n terest in all that touched the best interests of th e E ng li s h colonies. (Hear, hear.) Amid the whole ra nge o f E ng li s h politics he knew of no subject of so deep and engross i ng interest as that which was afforded by the field o f co l on i a l politics, which comprised so many races, so m an y p eop l e s, s o many interests, and so many forms of gov ernmen t , an d afforded a field for study so manifold, diverse, and complicated that the interest felt therein was only equalled by the sense of responsibility which must necessarily attach to those who were charged with our colonial administration. If, then, a great interest was felt in the colonies at large, surely little less interest was entertained in regard to that important group of North American colonies of which he saw so many distinguished representatives present on that occasion. He knew of nothing that was more impressive or gratifying than the present position of the British North American provinces. They possessed inexhaustible fisheries on the seaboard, mines containing wealth of metals that would be worked for ages to come, forests that were unexhausted even by the wastefulness of man, harbours, rivers, and fertile lands. These were the gifts which nature bad given in unstinted measure to the inhabitants of British North America. (Hear, hear.) And if nature had been bountiful, man bad not been slow to avail himself of her gifts. Nature had in dented tlid shores of that part of the world with magnifi- , cent harbours, the mouths of noble rivers, and the hardy and intelligent race-Wlitch'peinaledthe seaboard had shown that they knew both how to build and bow to navigate the ships which traded to and from those provinces and used those harbours. (Cheers.) He was aware that blue books were not regarded as the most poetical things in the world, and the perusal of them was, as a rule, probably the dullest and most prosaic part of the duties of those who took their share in the political life of this country ; and yet to his mind there was a good deal of poetry in those lung columns of figures which showed the onward, steady, and prosperous march of the colonies of British North America, demonstrating year by year how commerce was multiplying and reproducing itself throughout the country. (Cheers.) There was, moreover, a poetry in the tables of returns which showed the annual increase which took place n the demand for, and in the purchase of, tho western Crown lands of those colonies ; for they told of the conflict that was being waged by those who entered upon the rough life of the wilderness, and evidenced the enterprise and courage of the colonists, and spoke of the comforts of civilisation that were carried in a thousand shapes to the homes and hearths of our adventurous fellow-countrymen. (Cheers.) It was something perhaps better than poetry when we saw in those returns proofs not only of the great amount of commerce that was ccnstantly going on, but also of the security with which financial affairs were carried on in the British North American provinces. Ile believed that in Nova Scotia a 10 per cent. tariff was pretty nearly sufficient for most of the charges incidental to the Govern ment, which was a sufficient proof that the trade was in creasing; and with regard to the financial security of the country, it was found that there was not only a regular annual surplus, but that that surplus—which was applic able to the improvement of the colony —was an increasing one. (Hear, hear.) Ile believed that those who returned to those colonies after an absence of a quarter of a century hardly recognised the country as that which they had left, so great had been the improvements effected in the inter val. In a few years towns had sprung up with stately streets and large public buildings, many of them of great architectural beauty ; the population was steadily increas ing, and not ouly was this the case, but everywhere the graces and refinements of life were making their way. In those places the rough conflicts of the wilderness, to which ho had just alluded, was over, and all around gardens were ' being cultivated, libraries being established, and public museums being dedicated. In fact, there were everywhere the marks of a free and prosperous, an intelligent, and a civilised community. (Cheers.) He was happy to have the pleasure of meeting on that occasion so many represen tatives of those North American colonies who had come to England to discuss one of the most important questions that, in its constitutional bearings, could be imagined, and certainly the most important question ever discussed in British North America. (Hear, hear,) Not that this ques tion was by any means new. For many years past, under one shape or another, and at one time and another, it had been much discussed. It .was entertained An d spoken of RUBY, P. STEELE D Secretary, z. ••• ~-`~ r•A t - - . : -- • • -" 4 * -4 41. 4 - ; 7. 4 ;LIN A' --- • • ,‘•••••. f t": (. 0 1 / 4 1 vt t• - ' 4 .); ;#ll'' . • Ar 4t . - • ozl the ••-* 7- , ( 43 S '` l4 ='• " Whole vo- „=,sroste, 4'?-16, . 11*7 1/1 7 1,1. • \ _ ,: ..._, 16 4 ; 6 , 4, i v . `,T• t nulon ; • • • 1 0" " - • ; or ---- /~ ~ PRICE.... 4d.

If that is so, it is the only matter for congratulation in connection with this quarter-day, for certainly the orders given out up to this time will not be sufficient to keep many of the works more than half going. Mr. Baker, the Mine Inspector, was in the hall, and some conversation took place between him and members of the association relative to the miners code of rules, and some alterations in them are sug gested, but nothing definite has been determined upon. The Austro-Italian Tieaty of Peace. VIENNA, Oct. 8. The following is a summary of the stipulations of the Austro-Italian treaty of peace signed at Vienna on the 3rd inst : From•the day on which the ratifications of the treaty are exchanged perpetual peace and friendship shall exist between his Majesty the King of Italy and his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, their heirs and successors, their States and subjects. The conditions stipulated at Cormons for the reciprocal restitution of Austrian and Italian p . isoners of war is maintained. The Emperor of the French having declared in the Treaty of Vienna, on the 24th August, that, so far as he is concerned, Venetia is acquired for Italy, his Majesty the Emperor of Austria consents to the union of Venetia with Italy in the form determined by the Austro-French Treaty of Vienna above mentioned. The frontiers of the Venetian provinces ceded to Italy are the administrative frontiers of the said provinces under Austrian domination. " A military commission, instituted by the high contracting parties, will be deputed to trace out the boundary lines with the shortest possible delay. The territories which are still occupied by the imperial and royal troops by virtue of the armistice concluded on the 12th August last, will be evacuated by those troops after the ratification of peace, and the said troops will immediately withdraw beyond the frontiers previously established. " The Government of his Majesty the King of Italy . assumes a portion of the debt appertainin g to the territories `ceded by the present treaty, and which is fixed at 35 million of florins, Austrian convention currency, payable in 11 successive instalments with in 23 months, in the manner and form established in the annexed additional article. " The Monte-Lombardo-Venetian, with its assets of 3i millions of florins and its liabilities of 60 mil lions of florins, passes entirely into the hands of the Government of his Majesty the King of Italy. The Government of the King of Italy succeeds to the rights and engagements resulting from the contracts regularly entered into by the Austrian Ad ministration in the interest of the ceded territory. "The Austrian Government is bound to reim burse all the sums paid into the Austrian treasury as deposits of caution money by Lombardo-Vene tian subjects, communes, public establishments, and religious corporations. " The Italian Government will be bound in like manner with respect to sums paid by Austrian sub jects and corporations in the Monte-Lombardo- Venetian. " The Government of his Majesty the King of Italy recognises and confirms the railway conces sions granted by the Austrian Government in the ceded territory in all their stipulations and their periods of duration. From the day upon which the ratifications of the present treaty are exchanged, the Italian Government assumes all the rights and charges of the Austrian Government in respect of the above-mentioned concessions on the railway lines in the ceded territory. Until new and ulterior arrangements are made, the total receipts of the two railway systems North and South of the Alps are admitted for the lines situated in the ceded ter ritory as the estimate of gross revenue upon which is based the estimate for the kilometric guarantee of 30 miles. " A special convention between the contracting parties, with the participation of the railway com panies interested,without reservation as to time, and leaving full liberty to all parties, will regulate the mode of separating the two railway systems North and South of the Alps. " Lombardo-Venetian subjects domiciled upon the ceded territory will enjoy, during one year : after previous declaration before the competent authority, full and entire liberty to export their moveable property free of duty, and to withdraw with their families to the States of his Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty, in which case they will preserve their Austrian citizenship. They will be at liberty to retain their landed property upon Lombardo-Venetian territory. " The same right will belong to natives of Ve netia living in the other provinces of the Austrian empire. Those who avail themselves of these stipu lations shall in no way be molested in their persons or their property situated in the respective States on account of their option. 4 , The above period of one year is extended to two years in the case of subjects, natives of the ceded territory, who at the time of the ratification of the present treaty may live out of the territory of the Austrian monarchy. Natives of the ceded ter ritory who are in the Austrian army will immedi ately be discharged from service and sent to their homes. " It is understood that those among them who declare their wish to remain in the imperial ser vice will not on that account be molested either in their • persons or property. The same guarantees are assured to the civil functionaries, natives of the ceded territory, who shall have manifested their in tention of continuing in the offices which they hold in the Austrian service. " The regular civil and military pensions charge able upon the Lombardo-Venetian treasuries re main payable to these entitled to them, and eventu ally to their widows and children, and will be paid in future by the Italian Government. " The archieves containing titles to property, the administrative and judicial documents concerning the ceded territory, and the objects of art apper taining to the same existing among the archieves the the Austrian empire, will be handed over to commissioners of his Majesty the King of Italy 50 soon as possible.

Extra Parliamentary Utterances. At the annual Birmingham Cricket Club dinner on Wednesday evening, Mr. W. D. Bromley, 111. P , presided. In responding to the to as t, " The Hous e of Commons," the hon. member said,—When I came here to-night I certainly did not expect that I should have in any wry to trench upon the political, b u t my wol.thy friend has cut a good hole in that ground, and certainly it is rather difficult for a county mem ber. if this sortof bait is held out to him, to prevent jWnping at it. As a general rule, for county mem hers to speak without politics is like expecting a nu.n to make bricks without straw. But politics having been touched upon, I shall divide my speech into two parts. (Laughter.) In reference to the first part, I will say that I consider there has been a very vast amount of misrepresentation throughout the country, and it has been misrepresentation with regard to the views which are generally entertained by the Conservative party with regard to the ques tion of Reform. (Applause.) I maintain that the Conservative party did not throw up the bill of the last Government. (Hear, hear.) The last Govern ment came in with a large majority ; that majority dwindled away. They brought in a bill which failed on its own merits. Their own party turned round and voted against it. Ido not think that the Con servative party are to be blamed for the want of temper which lost that bill. (Applause.) I say that that bill—and I observe the same expression in a leading article in the Times to-day—was lost by want of judgment, by want of consideration and preparation, and by something which approached • to actual violence. It was the want of temper of Mr. Gladstone which went a great way to lose that bill, which, if any conciliatory spirit had been shown, or anything like moderating inclination —if I may so term it—if it had got into committee, it would have passed ; but it was impossible—it was impossible for the bill to pass, when the colours, were nailed to the mast from the first, and they said " We shall have this bill, we will cram it down your throats, and will sit, not till the middle of next week, but next session, to pass it." That was not the tone that any party of Englishmen was likely to accept, and certainly the House of Commons least of all. (Applause.) But there are other disadvantages, of which - you are aware, with regard to this bill. I need not enter into detail. In this very borough of Birmingham there was a most wonderful example of the operation of the bill and of the injustice which especially this county would undergo from its pass ing. I need not allude to details ; you are all a c _ quainted with the debate which took place last, ses sion, and in it you will, I am afraid, only find them too voluminously recapitulated. But there is one other point I would like to touch upon, and that is, the feeling of the working classes. I say this—and it is a most remarkable thing for me to think—l have never seen any public speaker allude very pointedly to the fact--I have never seen, on any one occasion, during the whole of this Reform demonstration—l have never seen or heard one of those public speakers mention or name any one grievance which thework ing classes of the country are now endergoing in consequence of their deprivation of the franchise, (Applause.) I will only say, so far as I myself exa concerned and my experience goes, whenever Ih ave heard any member of the House of Commons allude to any topic in which the working classes are inte rested, that member—be he dull as you like, and there are plenty of very dull ones in the house-- (laughter)—as prosy as you like—he is certain to command an attentive hearing in the House of Commons. This struck me as being a remarkable fact, and as far as I am concerned, I consider my self a complete Radical compared to a great many of those people who have been exhibiting them selves so very frequently lately. I consider I have been working away for years at questions which they pass over in silence and never allude to. I think there are fearful evils now being undergone which the working classes themselves arc suffering from. I need only allude to the condition of our workhouses, and the fact that there are at this mo ment in this country upwards of a million of paupers. I consider that -a great evil in a country ; and we cannot be said to be properly governed where such a state of things is allowed to remain. Theca there is another question which I may refer to—namely, the demolition, the gigantic demolition, of the houses of the working classes, which takes place whenever any railway chooses to go through a large city. These are questions in which the working men have a grievance ; but I have never heard one of the gen tlemen bring forward what they consider a grievance on the part of the working men. I should like to see working men in. the House of Commons; I should like to see them there in their shirt sleeves, if they could help us to see our way out of the difficulties we sometimes find ourselves in. (Applause.) But the only grievance ever brought forward is that which Bright brought forward the other day—want of education ; and he says if the Reform League were to form the Government of this country, they, would then, in two Sessions, pass a bill for the universal education of every poor man's child. I say that would be wonderful, and, if it should be so, if they could arrange all the differences which parents hold in the various creeds that are professed in this coun try, and get all the parents to agree in one model and in one school, I think they would be very clever people indeed, and a great deal cleverer than I take them to be. (Laughter.) As regards a Reform Bill, I will support a good Reform Bill—such as has been shadowed out by Captain Gem, in which all classes, not giving any undue preference to one loud tongued portion of it, will be represented. (Ap plause.) I say I would support that bill through thick and thin, and I will vote against any Govern ment which opposes it. I don't know what prospects of the future, but I hope a Refo r m that kind before very long will be broughwt, his The. hon. gentleman concluded by expressingforßill ard. of are to the duties which he had unde rtaken as a determination to continue to devote himself assidu ouslycounty member. The Italian Government raises the sequestration upon all the private property of the Italian ex princes, without prejudice, however, to the rights of the State, and the right of the third portion over the property in question.

He had been attended by Dr. Darrant, but for weeks he never laid in bed ; and his own confession was that the part affected was just as if somebody had rubbed it with a brick and then peppered it. —Sheffield Telegraph.

However, from the absence of that one-third, or he might say one-half, of the dele gates, it had been impossible to consider this ques tion at present ; and it had not yet come under official consideration of her Majesty's Government. When it did, no doubt there would be many questions to consider, many interests to be weighed, and sore differ ences of pinion to reconcile. Meanwhile, it would be pre mature for him, and he should be departing from his public duty if he were to express an opinion as to the merits of this great question. But, although his lips were sealed upon this point, he was free to say thus much—he was free in the name of all in this country who had any care or concern for these great colonial subjects to express the cordial welcome they gave to those representatives of the British North American provinces who were present that evening, and he was free also on the part of the Govern ment to promise an earnest and respectful attention to everything those gentlemen might urge when they came together in council on behalf of those provinces, those Go vernments, and those Parliaments of which they were the accredited representatives. (Hear, hear, and cheers). He could promise that the delegates should find no lukewarm ness or indifference to their wishes on the part of the Go vernment, no want of confidence .in their national aspira tions; and he thought that whatever might be the issue of their councils, they would at least present a picture which would not be unworthy of this country, and which, so far as' he knew, would be unparalleled in the history of the world—the picture of a mother country discussing frankly, freely,-and fairly with her colonists certain great constitu tional changes which' were desired and proposed to them, without one parade of jealousy or mistrust on the part of the mother country, and with the most earnest loyalty and affection'towards that mother country on the part of the colonies—changes which no doubt in the course of time , might vary the relations of this country with some of her ,distantoolonies—but changes which depended very much on the spirit in which they were' conceived and the spirit in Which they were met. (Cheeis.) When changes were met on both sides in such a temper as this he had no fear, and he thought that no reasonable person need fear, for the result. Once in the history of Eugland it hap pened that she parted with one of her great colonies in anger and mistrust, and the evil effects of that separation had lasted for many a long year, embittering the relations which existed between those who ought always to have been firm friends and allies. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that in the course of years that feeling had, though gradually, been dispelled, and that the two nations were now under the influence of a better state of mind; but at the same time he though that what had happened ought to serve as a useful lesson, which we in this country ought not to be ashamed to own, namely, that conciliation was better than coercion, and that if we gave our confidence to a depen dency that confidence would be repaid a hundred-fold. (Hear, hear.) Ho trusted that the past had taught both this country and the colonies that the interests of England and the interests of the colonies, properly understood, were not separate and distinct interests ; but that, the more power ful, the more prosperous, and the more populous the Eng lish colonies became, the greater would he the strength they would confer on the mother country. (Loud cheers.) The CIIAIRMAN read letters from the Duke of Bucking ham, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Cranbourne, Lord Ebury, Lord Lytton, Mr. A dderley, and Mr. Cardwell—all of whom regretted their inability to attend on the present occasion. lie then proposed `.'The health of the Delegates from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia," coupling with the toast the names of Dr. Tupper, Mr. Tilley, Mr. Archbold, and Mr. Chandler. (Cheers.) Dr. TUPPER, Who rose amid loud cheers, as one of the representatives of Nova Scotia, said the mission upon which he and the other members of the delegation bad come was one that was fraught with vital consequences to the British North American provinces, and was well worthy the sup port of the English Government. He described the vast extent of interior territory and seaboard belonging to British North America, the immense internal resources of the different provinces, and the increase that has taken place in their population and commerce, and complained that the trade of the provinces and the due development of their re sources was restricted by the tariffs which existed between them. He stated that the people of those colonies had at length come to the conclusion that the time had arrived for sweeping away the fortifications of tariffs and customs duties that existed between them, and for consolidating them under one Government and one Legislature. (Hear.) It was thought that the time had come when the colonies should unite and consolidate their power. The question had been carefully considered and discussed, and it had been decided by a large majority that an effort should be made for obtaining so desirable a result. This was the more ne cessary, when the colonies were in the presence of a com mon danger, which was not so much that of a Fenian inva sion as that which arose from a feeling in the minds of the American people that they ought to take possession of the British North American provinces. This danger was heightened by the subjugation of the South, and the set tlement of the slave question, for while slavery existed in America, and the two parties in the United States were divided upon it, there was little cause for apprehension. It was the feeling he had referred tothat had swept away the reciprocity treaty, which had proved so advantageous to both countries, and he believed that the consolidation of the strength and power of the British North American provinces would do much to neutralise the feeling, and might lead the American people to ask for a renewal of the reciprocity treaty. .Mr. Tilley, Mr. Archbold, and Mr. Chandler 'also re sPqnclecl- , '..Che'PnAißmAn next gave the..' health of the Governor -General of. Canada, and the Lieutenants-General of her Majesty's colonies," and coupled with the toast tho name of Governor Hincks, of British Guina. Governor Iliscxs briefly responded. The health of Sir F. Rogers and Mr. Blackwood was proposed by Mr. Watkin, M.P., and thehealth of the chair man was given by Mr. Baring, M.P. The Chairman re sponded, and the health of the vice-chairman having been proposed and acknowledged the proceedings terminated. Ironmasters' Quarterly Meeting. WOLVERHAMPTON, THURSDAY EVENING. The second meeting of the ironmasters of this dis trict for the current quarter was held in the Town-•I hall here this afternoon. There was a very large at tendance. All the other iron-producing districts were well represented, as were also many of the Liverpool and other exporting firms. There was a very animated discussion relative to the position and prospects of the trade. Between 2 and 3 o'clock the appearance of the hall was such as would have impressed a stranger with the idea that a very con siderable amount of business was being done, really, however, such was not the case, for buyers of every class hung back as much as possible, and there can be no doubt that the quantity of iron sold was very considerably below that which it ordinarily is on the quarter-day, and less than might reasonably have been expected, looking at the long period of stagna tion from which the trade has suffered. It was stated that there is a good prospect of a good demand for America, but at this moment the houses who do to that quarter are indifferently supplied with orders ; there is a very limited demand for railway iron, and with regard to plates the trade is in even a worse state, though in consideration of the slackness which ' now prevails in connection with shipbuilding opera tions the iron trade of the North will suffer more on that account than it will in South Staffordshire. There was a moderate amount of doing to-day in pig-iron, the make of the district ; hot blast was quoted £3 15s. per ton, that being about a middle price. As a rule the pig-masters cannot afford to hold pigs now that assistance from the banks can be no longer obtained, so that if the demand should fall much below what it now is more furnaces will have to be blown out. it was rumoured in the hall that the price of Forest of Dean pigs had been lowered half-a-crown a ton, but subsequently that was con tradicted on good authority.. The demand for Shropshire . pig was steady ; it SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.
