Military a] ,elligence. The Endymion, 21, 2,486 tons, 500 horse-power, unarmoured screw frigate, was commissioned yes terday at her moorings in the Medway, by Captain Charles Wake (23d June, 1859), formerly of the Bullclog, which was lost in the West Indies. The frigate is complete in her fitments, and has only to receive her sea stores on board to be ready for sea. The destination of the Endymion is not yet announced, but a report was in circulation at Chatham yester day that she - will in all probability proceed to the west coast of Africa, for temporary service as the flagship of Commodore G. T. P. B.ornby, in lieu of the Bristol, 31, 600-horse power, Capt. L. E. H. Somerset, which is on her passage home to make good some serious defects in her machinery. The sloop-corvette Reindeer, 7, 200-horse power, Mr. C. Watton master in charge, was placed in No. 4 dock at Chatham yesterday afternoon, to make good a few temporary defects. The sailing frigate Chichester, 50, attached to the sailing reserve in the Medway, has been removed down the harbour, and placed in the steam basin at Sheerness, where she will undergo the necessary alterations and fittings to adapt her for service as a school training ship, to be stationed at one of the ports. The screw gunboat Magnet, 2, 60-horse power, Lieut.-Commander G. B. Goolden, tender to the Pembroke, 25, 200-horse power, is making good defects in the basin at Sheerness. The paddlewheel steam tender Adder, Mr. W. J. Blakey, Master Commander, resumed her duties at Chatham Dockyard yesterday, after having the defects to her boilers made good. The Serapis, screw iron troopship, built at the Thames Ironworks at Blackwall, was launched on Wednesday in the creek from their building slip with complete success. The contract was taken in February last under a bond to complete the work by April next—namely, in 15 months. The ship is now ready to receive her machinery, and is ex pected to be put in commission long before the ap pointed time. Lady Cranborne, wife of the Presi dent of the India Board, undertook the ceremony of " christening," which was immediately followed by the noble-looking structure gliding away down the slides and floating out under the control of five checking hawsers, by which she was well kept in tow. She bad scarcely made a distance of her en tire length in the river when she was brought round to about 50 feet of the entrance to the building slip, and was again examined with much interest by the crowded audience who were present. Ihe examination appeared to give evident satis faction, and many and loud were the good wishes vociferated for her success, as well as for the prosperity of the builders. This new class of In dian transports, five in number, are intended to carry a whole regiment each, and fitted and ventilated in a manner to insure as far as possible the soldiers' comfort during the voyage. The dimensions of each of the ships are 350 ft. in length between the perpendiculars ; 326 ft. 9iin. of keel for tonnage ; and breadth, 49ft. ; depth in midships (from top of keel), 34ft. Gin., 4,173 tons, and to be provided with engines of 700 horse power nominal, byMessrs. Humphreys and Tennant. Her Majesty's 17 gun screw ship Chanticleer, ordered to be prepared for commission at IVoolwich, was yesterday undocked and warped into basin, in order to receive her machinery and to be masted. Capt. Cusack, 2d Battalion Bth Regt., is ordered to proceed from Chatham to Malta, to join the ser vice companies of his regiment at that station. The Royal Engineer detachments and the drafts of infantry' at Chatham under orders to embark for the Cape of Good hope have been inspected at the garrison, and are awaiting orders for embarkation at Gravesend as soon as the Merchantman, hired Government transport, is ready to receive them on board. Yesterday Colonel Hastings, in command of the Royal Artillery in the Chatham district, completed the half-yearly regimental inspection of the Royal Field Artillery at Chatham garrison, consisting of the mounted B battery, 4th Brigade. The first day was devoted by Colonel Hastings to the in spection of the Armstrong guns, magazines, horses, gun carriages, stables, and the general equipment of the battery, the following day boing occupied in the inspection of the officers and men in field drill on Chatham lines, where the battery was exercised in the customary artillery field manoeuvres. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Alfred J. Cheek, to the Terror; Lieut. John G. Hanmer, Lieut. H. J. Robilliard, and Lieut. Frederick J. Wetherall, to the Excellent, for study ; Sub-Lieut. Arthur 11. Fronde, to the Endymion ; Thomas 11. S. Robert son, midshipman, to the Endymion ; Joseph C. Paine, paymaster, additional, to the Cumberland, for naval barracks ; and Thomas M. Ramage, pay master to the Lion. RAILWAYS AND OTHER COMPANIES. METROPOLITAN DISTRICT. The half yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Westminster Palace Hotel ; the Earl of Devon in the chair. The report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIR3IAN, in moving its adoption, said, on the whole the position of the undertaking might be deemed satisfactory as regarded the progress of the works. Tho statement which was made in the re port was fully borne out, in the opinion of the di rectors, by observations which had from time to time been made by various persons. He, with the Board, visited the works a few weeks since from Westminster to Kensington. The undertaking would be as much an ornament to the metropolis as it would be a great national undertaking. They ventured to assure the shareholders that the works were mAking considerable progress. Every pos sible endeavour was being made on the part of the directors to push the work forward as speedily as possible. They had made an arrangement, which had been sanctioned by the Metropolitan Railway Company, for the opening and working of a portion of their line as far as Westminster_bridge, when in a fit state to be opened. They thought it would be better that that portion of the line should b e opened and brought into active working order as soon aa possible. The engineer's report fairly stated the position of the works. Mr. JOHNSON, in reply to a question, said he was not aware that any of the Thames Embankment was to be built upon arches, except opposite the City Gas Works. Still if it was it would not affect their plans. Mr. BEST wished to know what. progress had been made during the past half-year. The report stated that the works were making satisfactory progress, but then they were left to find out what that pro gress was. Six months ago it was stated thatwithin 18 mouths from that period they might expect the line to be opened from Westminster-bridge west ward. In the present report there was nothing said about the probable time when the line would be opened westward, neither was there any statement of the quantity of work which had been done, or whether there was any part of the line which now might be said to be completed, but they were left to guess whether the expectations would be realised. The CHAIRmAN said the total capital for the whole scheme was £3,600,000, and the first issue was £2,250,000. They did not entertain any fear that the expectations made in the report would not be realised. A SHAREHOLDER said they were called u Pon to make large payme n t s w h en money was dear—(h ear , h ea r) —and lie thought those shareholders also who b a d not paid ought to be be called upon to do so ; , ~.; - j(),00 0 Was th e i r b orrowiu g powers, an d they ought not to exercise them while arrears of calls were due. The Cu AIIDIAN said the directors had, after gre a t consideration, come to the conclusion that o n the whole it was better to exercise the borrowing po wer , than to make another call. Upon the whole of the share capital issued a sum of X 754,640 remained to be called up. The motion for the adoption of the report was seconded by . Mr. SHERRIFF, M.P., and carried unanimously. A DIRECTOR said the rate per cent. offer(' 1 for the GREAT LUXEMBOURG. A general meeting of this company was held yes terday at the London Tavern, preparatory to the general meeting to be held at Brussels ; the Hon. F. Scott in the chair. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said on looking at the accounts the share holders would see how large was the increase of the traffic, but how small was the increase of net revenue in comparison. That was accounted for by reasons of an exceptional character. When they re flected on the political state of Europe during the last few months, and what had taken place before the war broke out, they would see reasons why the traffic should have suffered. At this time last year they had an epidemic among their flocks, which was communicated to Holland and adjacent countries, causing a diminution in their cattle traffic. The cholera was not only rushing through this country, but in Belgium, and it had a depressing influence on their pockets and spirits. He was in that coun try in June last, and all the hotels were empty, and he was there about three weeks ago, and the same account was given him that no traveller would pass through the country. The industrial concerns at the end of their southern line had been stopped, but they were now being resumed. The means of developing the line had received the most anxious consideration of the board. The directors had been most careful of the expenditure, and would continue to be so. With regard to the Ourthe line the directors still maintained the same opinion they had already ex pressed, that it was a most valuable auxiliary to their system. Mr. CLOSE seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Mr. HARLEY said he was informed that the Go vernment had given notice to the Central Beige that they would not be permitted to book through the State system unless they adopted the State's fares. This was a most important matter for the interest of the Great Luxembourg, and he wished to know if a similar notice had been given to the company. Mr. REED replied in the negative, and said if notice had been given the company would look after the interest of the shareholders. The report was then adopted, and a vote of thanks :o the chairman closed the proceedings. DUNDALK STEAM PACKET. The half-yearly general meeting of this compan) , was held at Dundalk on Tuesday; Mr. J. Brennan in the chair. The report recommended a dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum, and it was adopted unani mously. Banquet at the Mansion House. Last evening the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress entertained a numerous company at din ner, which was served in the Egyptian-hall. The guests, about 160 in number, included the Mayor of Windsor and the Mayor of Cambridge, Alderman and Sheriff Gibbons and Sheriff Figgins, Sir John Thwaites and the members of the Metropolitan Board of Works, with their engineer Mr. Bazelgette ; Rear-Admiral Ommaney and the members of the Board of Conservancy of the Thames, with Capt. Burstall, their secretary; the chairman (Mr. Lintott) and the members of the General Purposes Committee of the Corporation; the chairman (Mr. Chas. Reed) and the members of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs' Entertainment Committee ; Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., Mr. Chas. Gilpin, M.P., the Master (Mr. H. N. Nissen) and Wardens of the Fruiterers' Com pany ; the Master of the Mercers' Company ; Mr. Chambers, the common-sergeant ; and the directors of the National Provident Institution. The dinner was served with much splendour, and on the re moval of the cloth the company, on the invitation of the Lord Mayor, drank first to the health of her Majesty the Queen, and then to that of the Prince and Princess of \Vales and the rest of the Royal family. The Lord Mayor, in proposing the prin cipal toast of the evening, referred to the presence of the Metropolitan Board of Works and the Thames Conservancy Commissioners. The public generally, he said, would accord praise to the Metropolitan Board of Works for the able manner in which it had carried out its varied functions. No one who knew anything of the great system of main drainage of the metropolis, or who had opportunities of watch ing its progress, but must look upon it as one of the marvels of engineering skill in modern times. He hoped it would be a great success in the end, and a source of blessing to the metropolis. In the Thames embankment, which was being carried out under the supervision of the same Board, they would have when completed one of the grandest improvements of the metropolis. He hoped, however, he might be permitted to say that, besides beautifying the me tropolis, there was another necessity, and that was of purifying it. He considered it to be his duty publicly to declare, from recent observation, that the residential condition of the poor of the metro polis was a blot on the civilisation of our times. (hear, hear.) He was not prepared to throw the onus on any one. It might be the duty of the Go vernment or the Metropolitan Board, or of the pub lic ; but he said, without hesitation, that something must be done if they valued that which was incom parably beyond everything else—the sanitary condi tion of this great metropolis. (Cheers.) He assured the Metropolitan Board that the Corporation of tendon wo u ld b e rea d y at all times to go hand-in nand with them. Sir John Thwaites replying to the comp:lb:Lent said they had do ne th e i r b es t as a Board to purity this great city, and the main drain age had ri,ow, on the whole been in operation for more inu a than 12i othra g in those and the re was thi s g those districts w hi c h h a d singular fact—that t f istrar-General mathrkeedrenbelnatch vbisyitatthioen an d cho th le a r t a t h t o h s d b u ee r n ing was n a c i o n m p d l r e a t i e n , e age was fini s h e d main drainage districts where the d • lute. - epi e had been singularly free from th e The district which had been so painfully affected by the disease was one in which the main drainage was in progress, hut not complete ; but he hop l e n dthati n 21 months or two years it would be compte • He could only further say that whatever differences might have existed between the corporation and the Metropolitan Board, or between that Board and the Thames Conservancy Commissioners, it was the duty of all three to combine their powers for the welfare of this great metropolis. Let, he said, all their ener gies be directed to that which would improve the sanitary condition of the metropolis, and they would be entitled to its confidence and ultimately to its gratitude. Mr. Deputy Fry briefly replied to the toast on behalf of the Conservancy Commissioners. Mr. John A. Smith, M.P., in proposing the health of the Lord Mayor, referred to the conspicuous part that gentleman had taken in relieving the distress consequent upon the visitation of cholera, and of which he (Mr. Smith) had been a witness. It was, he said, his confident belief that those exertions had saved the lives of hundreds of poor people, and the manner in which he had conducted his official duties in other respects had raised the office of Lord Mayor in the estimation of the public. He believed, too, that it had conferred upon the City of London and upon the country at large averY reat and importa n t benefit, in c onv i ncing them that the duties of a Lord Mayor were not confined to dispensing of hospitali ties, however unlimited and however generous those might be ; but that those duties embraced a watchful debentures was 6 per cent. for three years, 51 per care of all the i n t eres t s most dear to them as citizens. cent. for five years, and 5 per cent. for seven years. He felt that the presence and the interest of the A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. Lord Mayor in reference to all the public terminated the proceedings. events which had marked his mayoralty had been attended with the happiest results, and that he had satisfied all thinking men that the attachment which was felt to the office of Lord Mayor was not merely a sentiment, but was connected with their best and truest interests. As the City of Lon don was the guiding star of all other mu nicipal institutions in the country, the conduct of the Lord Mayor and the manner in which he had proved the usefulness of his office had added still more to the reverence for municipal institutions, with which he (Mr. Smith) believed the glory and safety of the country were greatly identified. Tho toast was drunk with enthusiasm, and the health of the Lady Mayoress was afterwards proposed in graceful terms by the Master of the Fruiterers' Com pany (Mr. Nissen). At intervals during the evening a number of glees and songs were sung by Mr. Montem Smith, Mr. Fielding, Mr. E. Ball, and Mr. Henry Buckland. The company separated about 11 o'clock. DUBLIN AND KINGSTOWN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held in Dublin on Tuesday ; Mr. H. Pim presided. The report stated the available balance amounted to £17,394. Out of this sum the Board declared, for the half year ended Aug. 31 last, a dividend on the capital stock of the company of 5 per cent., less income tax, leaving a balance of £lB6. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the adoption of the report, said he had fortunately no observation to make, but he would be happy to give any informa tion in his power. Mr. HOGAN seconded the resolution, which was adopted unanimously, and the proceedings termi nated. VE NE TIA. (From the Times Military Correspondent.) VENICE, Sept. 19. It is not to be expected that Austria can give up Venetia with nothing but compliments on both sides. The Italians are an excitable people, long subjection has taught them to be over-suspicious and ready to make accusations, and their military failures have not put them in a humour to be generous. On the other hand, the Austrians have been so long a ruling race that they are perhaps too much disposed to despise popular clamour. The people, too, have come to regard Venice and all it contains as sacred, so they keep a jealous watch on every - package that is taken away, and not without reason either, for Austrian officials are apt to be too zealous and carry matters with a higher hand than is intended by or pleasing to their Government, and especially to the Emperor. There have been many scandals spread abroad here, and to listen to the Italians and believe them would be to commit oneself to the opinion that the Austrians are a nation of robbers. To be just, I believe that the Emperor wishes to behave honestly by the Italians, and a plain statement of certain grievances which appear to be real may lead to an investigation of the point at issue. The following may be accepted as the truth of an affair which has created great excitement among both Italian and English cultivated society here, as I have carefully compared both sides of the question. On the 21st of July a Benedictine priest and man of letters named Dr. Dudik presented himself to Count Dandolo, Keeper of the Archives, with an order from Count Crenneville, Adjutant of the Em peror (which may, therefore, be considered as having proceeded from the Emperor himself), giving him authority to select such documents as were proper to be removed to Vienna for safer keeping. He brought with him a list, but against some of the documents named in it a query had been put, and Dudik said that he would not claim them from the hands of Count Dandolo, so no further notice need be taken of them, except to say that among them were papers relating to England, France, and Germany in past ages—in fact, general cor respondence of the Republic on foreign affairs. Now, it appears that the Emperor of Austria issued an order some years ago, which yet remains in force, directing that all public documents in the archives were to be retained there, and not to be removed on any pretext whatever, so that Count Dandolo was in the right when he quoted this order and ob jected to give them up. Dudik is said to have re plied significantly that he was attended by a file of soldiers, who waited below. Dandolo could offer no further resistance, and it was arranged that Dudlk should return the next morning at 8 o'clock to commence his selections. In the meantime Dan dolo, who neither knew Dudik by sight nor had ever seen the signature of Count Crenueville,waited upon General Alemaun, the military Governor of Venice, early in the morning, and laid the matter before him. The latter said that Count Crenne vine's order 3 were superior to his own, and di rected Dandolo to submit. At 8 a.m., accord ing to appointment, Dudik returned and be gan his labours. Nothing was done secretly, and Signor Pazini, head of the reading room, was directed to assist in making a list of the documents removed, which was afterwards signed in duplicate by all the persons immediately concerned in the transaction ; one copy being taken away by Dudik, the other remaining in the hands of Count Dan dolo. The bulk of papers selected was considerable, and caused wild rumours to be spread abroad, but I can positively assert from my own kn)wledge that by far the greater part consisted of documents re lating to Istria, Dalmatia, and Aquileia, provinces still remaining in the hands of Austria. There were, however, others which certainly ought to belong to Venice, relating as they do to the history of the Republic both internal and external. Among these were 32 volumes of " Comraemriali," a sort of pro memoria drawn up for reference of the Doge and council, and ranging from A.D. 1300 (about) upwards, towards the later days of the Republic ; correspondence relating to Germany and other coun tries from about the sixteenth century to the fall of Venice; " Misti del Senato," or index to pro ceedings of the Senate; ",Pasta,"—that is, treaties of the Republic ; all the Byzantine Arab documents, which are said to be unique, and perhaps some others. It appears that certain papers have been taken from St. Mark's Library also. On hearing of what had occurred, Signor Namais, secretary of the Institute, wrote to Count Dandolo, calling upon him to make a public protest ; but the Keeper of the Archives found himself placed in a very difficult position, and may be supposed to have urgued some what as follows :—" I do not approve the abstrac tion of these papers ; but I have a double duty, Ito obey the Austrian Government and the Emperor, whose servant I am, and, at the same time, to pro tect the archives. If I protest publicly I may be removed, and who can say what obliging partisan may be introduced in my place—perhaps even Dudik himself ? I will not make a bid for popularity at the risk of losing control over the documents and the list that has been left behind." At any rate, whatever he may have thought, be remained at his post, contenting himself with drawing up an appeal to his Imperial Majesty, to which be appended his own signature, and obtained also that of Signor Va lantinelli, the head of St. Mark's Library, because St. Mark's, too, had lost some of its treasures. The appeal was sent to Gen. Alemann, who considered that his duty prevented him from forwarding it, but sent it to Namias, probably under a misapprehension that it came from the Institute, for Count Dandolo and Signor Valantinelli are both members of the latter. Since then it is said that the list, or part of the list, has appeared in a Padua journal, but it is difficult to verify this, for Padua journals are not sold just at present in the Piazza di San Marco. i C n o g u in n D e l t r a a n t i d o o n l o to is h a man is duties,of much and in liberalityhis hands of f etehl the Austrian Go vernment has obtained the goodwill of literary men by th e f ree access which he has always permitted to the valuable papers under his charge. As Englishmen we have to thank him for havino. enabled Mr. Ra w d on Brown to publish the State t' a t s a a k p e p n ea eh re a d rg a e n e d f the a r e e s of . f v H h e e i h a h s speanpnenrd is s , onein the o lu archives since 1861, and will, it is to be hoped, con tinue to do so under the Italian Government. No Emperor w ill s of their p roper complaint is made against General Al emann, who is decidedly popular here ; he probably o n l y di d his restore duty, s % and i there th ple pleasure is s r i little t e n doubtto the hthatan hands keepers documents of such great value, as soon as he shall receive a request to do so from the Ki ng o f Italy. In the meantime there has been a little storm about the affair, and it would be a graceful act if Austria would return those that do not belong to her by right, trusting the Venetians to take care of them for the present. But this is not the only accusation brought against the Austrians. They are also said to have taken j away pictures which are not theirs of right, and here lies a considerable difficulty, for there are several conflicting statements which are hard to reconcile. It is admitted on both sides that 16 or 18 valuable pictures were packed up, and had, I believe, started THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1866. for Vienna, when an order came to leave them at Venice. They have since been restored. A list lies before me at this moment of 110 pictures claimed as the property of Venice, and said to have been re moved from the Imperial Palace, or Royal Palace, as the Italians now call it. Among these are to be found works by Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, and four of great value by Bonifacio. With regard to these it is not easy to sift the truth out of very opposite statements, and there are not wanting people who assert that some have been taken with out the knowledge of the Government. Certainly there have been strange doings in the sale of Impe rial furniture, gondolas, &c. A part has been sent, I believe, to Vienna, and another part sold for ridiculously small prices, though many inhabitants of Venice would have paid much higher ones. The accusations which 1 have reported would appear to tonch the honour of Austria as a great and gene rous nation, and it is very desirable that they should be cleared up. The official Gazette publishes daily sanitary no tices, and that of this evening gives the welcome in telligence that from 2 p.m. on the 19th to 2 p.m. on the 20th inst. no fresh cases of cholera have ap peared. The Gazette of the 19th stated the total number attacked as six, out of which four died and two were recovering. Some of the six were very old people, and on the whole the public of Venice are not in much fear. Trieste, Goritzia, and Udine have been much more heavily visited, and the Austrian army has lost some well-known and excellent officers. The people continue to cheer Count Revel and his officers when they appear, but there is little ex citement and no crowds of any magnitude. The professors of the needle have been called in to sup ply the commission with plain clothes, and their presence is not likely to create any serious demon strations. SEPTEMBER 22. The public demonstrations which have lately been of daily occurrence are not likely to continue for the future. Yesterday, at 2 p.m., the usual placards were posted up and two tricolour flags hoisted in the Canareggio (Canal Reggio) quarter of the town, where the butchers of Venice congregate, and a crowd assembled sufficiently numerous and dense to cause considerable embarrassment to the guardians of the public peace, who seemed quite unable to cope with the multitude. Some of the better class of Venetians, however, appeared on the scene, and had influence enough to prevail on the crowd to dis perse. These constant irritations have become dan gerously exciting, and the following proclamation of Gen. Alemann, who is considered to be a mild ruler, and is rather a favourite with the people, has pro duced an excellent effect, supported as it by the good sense of the educated portion of the population : PROCLAMATION. Up to the present time gontle measures haue been suffi• cient to maintain pu)lic quiet and tranquillity. The events of the last few days give reason to suspezi their insufficiency. It is no longer possible to tolerate the diffusion of all sorts of proclamations, the posting up libels, and the assembly of crowds in front of them, with resistance to the guardians of public safety, whose duty is to remove such causes of excitement. These turbulent demonstrations aro quite useless, since no one intends to prevent the people from manifesting their desire to be united with Italy under King Victor Emmanuel as soon as the high contracting Governments shall have fixed the proper time, but in any event it will be necessary to await with the necessary calmness the epoch when that unity shall become an accomplished fact. (The italics aro in the original.) I should be pained if after about eight years of peaceful sojourn among you conflicts should meanwhile be foolishly provoked with the organs of securityand with the Imperial troops, obliging them to make use of their arms, in which case they are charged and obliged to do so with all their energy. The Imperial Governor of the Fortress, General of Artillery, WILLIAM Baron do ALEMANN. Venice, Sept. 21. The above proclamation was placarded through the city, and published in the official Gazette, which is published in the evening. It appears to have had the best effect, for the people have become filled with the idea that they were about to be juggled out of their legitimate wishes, and handed over to the French. Their excitable minds crave for imme diate action, and they wish to pluck the fruits of the war, as they do their own grapes and peaches, before they are fully ripe. Diplomatists are not in such a hurry, for they have all the pleasure of em ployment while the negotiations are proceeding ; but the population, who have prepared their flags, their music, and their lights, are longing for the coming events as children for a birthday, and the garrison will not be sorry to turn their backs upon a city that they love, but which has dismissed them. It is wonderful to hear from so many well-in formed quarters that there is really a good feeling among the Venetian people towards the Austrians (not Austria as a ruler), and I believe it would not be difficult to get up a considerable warmth of de monstration toward the Governor when he leaves the place. The public feeling appears to be in such a state that the Italian Committee may lead it as they Emperor w o u ld grac i ous l y clear please, a t s h e and, e , picture if t q h u e estion, and say a kind word before the end comes, I should not be surprised to see a certain amount of cordiality shown to the troops, and their retirement felt as a loss as well as a gain. But the two armies must; not, or no one can answer for the consequences. Generals Revel and Lebceuf are quite in accord with Generale Ale mann on the necessity of preserving order, and it is said General Revel is annoyed at the crowds which give such public expressions to their feelings when he appears abroad. He has been away for a day or two, but returns this evening. The cholera seems to have disappeared. No cases have been reported for three days,and some people say that the real horror itself has not visited Venice at all. A combination of unripe or overripe frgit, strocco, and sudden change of temperature, are not unlikely to have produced symptoms of a choleraic character, and there has always been a reason for ,he deaths, either age or Weakness of constitution. A letter from Brescia, published in the Pungolo, of the 17th, an evening paper of Milan, gives the instructions of the Minister of War for the gradual reduction of the Volunteers. This will begin simul taneously in all the regiments and corps, and first among the rank and file, then non-commissioned officers, and so upwards. Each man will receive from his captain a written certificate of service and discharge, and will be paid part of the six months' " gratification " on leaving his corps, the other and larger part by the commandant of the district to which he goes after his discharge. The sum is regulated by the pay on a peace footing, and is as follows :—For a private, 72 lire ; for a corporal, 99 lire ; for a sergeant, 198 lire ; for a quarter-master sergeant and sergeant-major, 252 lire ; for a quarter master, 360 lire. Accoutrements are to be restored, or a regulated sum, estimated after allowance has been made for wear and tear, will be deducted. Exceptional cases are provided for. The officers will receive six months' pay intact on the day that they retire from the service. Garibaldi was expected at Brescia on the 18th, and was not thought likely to retire from Caprera for some time. It is said that he is much aged, and has become comparatively Con servative. The Corriere of Genoa reports that 10,000 men were embarking for Palermo in a fleet of trans ports escorted by three ships of war. From Trieste the ravages of cholera since the commencement of the disease are given as follows : Cured, 102 ; dead, 220 ; under treatment, 80 ; total, 406. The daily report of the new cases, including the city and its environs, shows a total of 10, out of which two were in hospitals, the rest treated at home. Genoa had during 24 hours of the 17th and 18th inst. 24 cases, 18 deaths ; 18th and 19th inst., 39 cases, 12 deaths. Naples-17th and 18th inst., 210 cases, 128 deaths; 18th and 19th inst., 196 cases, 104 deaths. A very sensible set of rules was issued here when the disease declared itself ; sanitary measures were especially recommended and adopted. TIIE AMERICAN PRESS AND THE ALTANTIC TELEGRAM —An arrangement has been made by which the telegraphic news from Europe over tho Atlantic cable is furnished to the American newspapers at the rate of 100 dollars a week for each journal desiring it. Some twenty papers have thus far entered into the agreement, and about 100 words a day will bo transmitted, including the com mercial reports. This has made necessary an advance in the charge for advertising in many offices, about 25 per cent. having been added to the former rate. The Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., on Irish Politics. On Wednesday a deputation, consisting of the mayor and the principal aldermen and councillors of the borough of Sligo, waited on the Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., to present him an address, as stepson of the late Lord Palmerston, and owner of several important estates in the county. The TOWN CLERK having read the address, The MAYOR said—Sir, as the address just read indicates, you will, I am sure, take it for granted that the gentlemen present, most of whom repre sent the local parliament of this ancient borough, are met here to-day to do you honour—to do you honour as the representative of one of the greatest statesmen England has ever produced —a man who through a long and eventful period of Great Bri tains's history served the country faithfully and well—a man whom we find as far back as the year 1808 holding the office of Secretary of War, and from that period up to the close of the Peninsula campaign historians speak of him as a leading spirit in the House of Commons, sustaining the Duke of Wellington in his efforts to bring about the downfall of the First Napoleon. From that period up to his death, Lord Palmerston's influence was felt throughout Europe as the friend of consti tutional liberty and the enemy of all oppression, and that influence will, I believe, continue to vi brate throughout the nations of Europe till the chain of despotism is for ever broken. He lived to see laws enacted which have made the people of England and her dependencies the happiest and the finest on the face of the globe. As a landlord Lord Palmerston was one of the best in Ireland. He spent large sums of money in the improvement of his estates, and took much pleasure in promoting the interests and happiness of his tenantry. His genial spirit and friendly bearing towards all with whom he came in contact greatly endeared him to the people of this district, and made them often feel there was something in him closely akin to their Irish nature. He ever took an interest in public matters connected with our town where they tended to promote the public good, and we venture to hope that in this respect you will supply his place. We wish to ob serve, much as we believe this district is benefited by the opening of the Midland Great Western line of railway from Dublin to Sligo, that we feel Sligo still requires direct railway communication with thenorth of Ireland. We shall be glad to see the projected line from Bundoran to Sligo, running as it does through so many miles of your estate, shortly completed. We beg to observe that we are of opinion that the enor mous parliamentary, legal, and engineering expenses of railway projects are an injury to the development of railway undertakings. There are districts of this country where, if they could be made cheaply, they would pay well, whilst the districts would be im mensely benefited, and the revenues of the country thereby greatly increased. Occupying, as you have done for many years, important offices in the Govern ment of the country, we beg to direct your attention to this subject, believing you will, at the same time - and place, give this matter the attention it deserves. The Right Hon. Gentleman, having accepted the address, proceeded to say—Mr. Mayor, I beg to re turn my most grateful thanks to you, the aldermen, and to theburgesses and the corporation of Sligo, for the very kind and flattering manner in which you have bid me welcome on my arrival in this ancient borough. I can assure you I am deeply touched by the expres sions of condolence which you have made towards my mother and myself. It is most gratifying to my feel ings to perceive that the great qualities and character of the late Lord Palmerston were appreciated here, as they have been in other parts of the kingdom, in whose affairs he bore so conspicuous a part. I might say that Lord Palmerston was not only proud of being an Irishman, but he had an especial interest in all that had connexion with this town and this neighbour hood. Amidst the cares and anxieties which accom panied the administration of those great offices which he successively held, and to which you, sir, have alluded, he never forgot the ties which bound him to those connected with him by property in this neighbourhood. He (Lord Palmerston) took especial interest in the affairsof Sligo and its neigh bourhood, and I may say he brought to bear upon the plans which he formed for the improvement and development of the resources of his property, and the improvement of the condition of those who dwelt upon it, the same persevering energy, the same courageous and hopeful spirit, the same con scientious sense of duty which led to his great sue - cess in his diplomatic endeavours to counteract the despotic powers of Europe, which led him on to persevere in those memorable efforts to procure the abolition of the slave trade, and which inspired him in sustaining the honour and welfare of his country. In the midst of his political occupation he used to inquire, with the most minute accuracy, into the details of the condition of his tenantry upon his various estates, and constantly was his mind occu pied in schemes which were intended to improve their condition. I know he held in high esteem the commercial resources of this town of Sligo, and he used to foretell the day would come when Sligo would be the Liverpool of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) I will not dwell further upon this interesting topic, but I will say the inheritance of his property will be accompanied with the inheritance of the regard and sympathy which he bore to those who were connected with him by the ties of property---(hear) and that the same desire for the public good may still prevail among those who have succeeded him. (Hear, hear.) I can assure you, for my mother and myself, that it will be our desire, in all matters re lating to this estate, to be actuated in the same spirit, and to carry out the same intentions, which were formed in the mind of Lord Palmerston. (Hear, hear.) For myself, circumstances oblige me to live at a distance, but I shall always keep a watchful eye upon any opportunity that may arise for benefiting those with whom I am connected. Every link that binds - Great Britain to Ireland is equally beneficial to both countries. Great Bri tain, by her development, her commercial, manufacturing, and mining industry, has accumulated an amount of capital which ex ceeds what can be profitably employed within her own boundary, and Ireland affords just the field that is required for the proper investment of that capital. Ireland, on the other hand, in her great resources, her fertile soil, with her teeming and in telligent population, has great advantages, but she has the one great defect of not having the amount of capital disposable which is necessary to develope her powers and resources. What is wanted for the benefit of the two countries is that the capital of the one may find a ready access to and permanent in vestment in the other. (Hear.) I do hope and believe that as the conditions of both countries are better understood, a more sound mutual understand ing and more confidence may spring up—(hear)— and that the capitalists of England and Scotland may find that Ireland affords them just the field they require for the commercial-and monetary de velopment of their industry. I can only say, from my knowledge of the House of Commons, that the prevalent feeling among all its members who are not Irishmen is mainly and simply to find out that which will increase the prosperity, the happiness, and the contont of Ireland. (Hear.) There is throughout England that a sense of the evils of ad ministrations do require to be remedied, and the earnestdesire is that future legislation may be better adapted to the wants of Ireland than that which existed in former times. (Hear.) No doubt the problems to be solved are difficult ; no doubt the party spirit which prevails so much often obscures the particular remedy that is required, but I will only state this, that so far as the wig goes, so far as the inclination goes, so far as the desire gces, the House of Commons is just the assembly that is pre pared to do all that may tend to develop the re- . - - sources and increase the happiness of Ireland. (Loud cheers.) I shall look with great satisfaction for an opportunity to promote th• railway communication between Sligo and the northern districts, which is so greatly required. I knew that Lord Palmerston took especial interest in the promotion of the rail way, and I shall myself be anxious to do anything I can to carry out his views upon the subject. !RYSTAL PALACE.---One Shilling Day, Thursday, Septomber 27.—Admissions on payment, 2,582 ; ditto' by season tickots, I,2oG—total visitors, 3,788. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, TDIES.—A few days ago we were listening to an address by Lord Grey in support of the Mechanics' Institute at Newcastle, and to-day we report some remarks by Lord Harrowby on a similar occasion at Birmingham. Lord Harrowby appears at first somewhat puzzled why an institution of such solid and unquestionable utility should find it necessary to solicit the support of a great name or a title, to fetch a country gentleman from a distance of 30 miles in order to descant on the value of knowledge with which he may have far less acquaintance than many of his hearers. Mechanics' Institutes are not, however, at all exceptional in this disposition. There is not a public institution of any sort or kind in the country, from a university to a ragged school, which does not seek this sort of patronage, and put it for ward on all special occasions. The tendencyis easily ridiculed, but in reality it arises, perhaps, from a better motive than a mere vulgar adulation. Men dislike to work at anything alone, or at a subject which has a solitary interest. They have a natura and very reasonable desire to see their favouritel pursuits or objects publicly recognized ; they like to see them admitted into good society, acknowledged as an integral element in the body politic, and as possessing a public importance. For this purpose there is no method so effectual as to obtain the patro nage and support of the person of most influence in the neighbourhood. Their presence acts as a pub lic recognition, and helps to make the institution feel itself a part of the general society. It is no sign, therefore, of an inherent weakness in Mechanics' Institues that their managers like to get a lord or a country gentleman to preside at the opening or close of the annual work ; and we are disposed to think with Lord Grey, that if there be an appearance of failure in such institutions, it is due rather to the exaggerated anticipations which were formed at their foundation. If any people expected, as perhaps some did, that as soon as the well-head of knowledge was set up in a town the whole wor e king population would rush to drink its pure streams, and would desert the turbid potations of the publichouse or gin palace, such sanguine dreamers could not be other wise than disappointed. Lord Harrowby very justly observes that the students are compartively few who will pursue knowledge for the mere pleasure of intellectual exercitation. They must have some personal motive, or some impulse more substantial than a bare scholastic enthusiasm. But among a working population there can scarcely be a very large number who will have any pressing motive to pursue the severer studies of a Mechanics' Institute. Men of more than average ability and energy may well be induced to undertake the labour of such studies, in the hope of raising themselves to a higher grade in their business ; but the average man may naturally think that he can scarcely expect sufficient success to reward him for the necessary toil. It could not but be vain, therefore, to expect the ma jority of men to devote their evenings to the study of such subjects as French and German, geometry, geology, and the science of mechanics. These in stitutions would achieve all the success which could be reasonably expected of them if they placed sound instruction within the reach of all, and if the more intelligent and enterprising of the artisan class availed themselves of the opportunity. If we may take the Birmingham and Midland Institute as an example, this amount of success seems to have been amply attained. This Institute includes a reading-room, public lectures, and classes for ladies —and, besides these, the strictly industrial classes have been attended by as many as from 800 to 1,000 students. Even in such a town as Birming ham this represents, we think, a not unsatisfactory attendance for purposes of serious study. If the Midland Institute provides instruction simultaneously for 1,000 artisans in such sub jects as French, German, Latin, and mathematics, it discharges an office of no slight utility and import ance. Nevertheless, Lord Harrowby displays a credit able unwillingness to forego altogether the more ex tensive anticipations we have referred to. After all, if we have benefited only the higher class of men, we have merely accomplished the least important part in the task of statesmen or philanthropists. Men of superior ability and character will always, more or less, take care of themselves. It is the average mass of mankind who supply the most urgent as well as the most difficult field for improvement. Something ought to be done for their elevation and instruction, and if mechanics' institutes are not the proper instru ments, it only follows that we have still to look for a more effectual agency, and that our task is but begun. Lord Harrowby, however, is disposed to think that the old instrument may still be utilised, and that means may be found to make the mecha nics' institute reach the mass as well as the leading members of the working classes. For this purpose he ventures on a somewhat bold suggestion. Hav ing observed, as we h ave seen, that the severer or more special studies of a mechanics' institute are without sufficient general interest to attract the mass of artisans, he inquires whether there are any studies which would exert a more universal attrac tion. He considers that this interest is to be found in politics and religion, and he regrets that the cau tion of the founders of mechanics' institutes should have excluded these subjects from their range. It is unquestionably true, as he states, that these are the two subjects which have always possessed the most powerful attraction for Englishmen of all classes and capacities. We have ample evidence at the present moment that the artisan class are not indifferent to politics, and they are wholly unlike their countrymen if they are indifferent to religion. If, therefore, suggests Lord Harrowby, you wish your mechanics' institutes to be more generally made use of, why not offer instruction in subjects about which every one would care to learn ? The suggestion is in many ways instructive, but we are afraid Lord Harrowby's advice must be sum marily rejected so far as religion is concerned. The happy day has not yet arrived, and we do not see how it is to come, when " the evidence of our com mon faith" can be studied with equal advantage in the works of a Unitarian Nonconformist, an English Churchman, a Presbyterian, and a Roman Catholic. The common faith must be somewhat slender for which each of these writers would furnish equally cogent proofs. If theology is taught at all, a particular system of theology must be taught, and it would then be idle to expect the support of all classes. Moreover, Lord Harrowby overlooks the fact that there is already, for practical pur poses, a Professor of Divinity in every parish in the kingdom. Not to speak of the ministers of other denominations, it is the express duty of the clergyman of the parish to supply instruction in theology to every one of his parishioners, and, what is more, to see that they have it. That this duty is greatly neglected, that the sermon has become a mere practical exhortation, and that scarcely any thing is done to satisfy the inquiries and awaken the interest of able and intelligent men, we readily admit ; but, nevertheless, there is a person in every parish whose business it is to perform this duty, and it is as unnecessary as it would be mischievous to take the office out of his hands and attach it to a Mechanics' Institute. Lord Harrowby's remarks, however, may be profitably recommended to the notice of the clergy. They are far too much inclined to expend all their energies upon old women and little children. It is a harder task, no doubt, to en gage the thoughts of grown-up men, but it is a task of infinitely great importance and utility. Unless the fathers and husbands of a parish be religious, the clergyman's work must rest on a very insecure foundation. But these men will not be gained with out more solid work than is usually expended on them. It is idle to attempt to influence an artisan by a tract or a story book. He deserves to be offered some more substantial food, and the suggestions of Lord Harrowby for a Mechanics' Institute might furnish useful hints to many a clergyman. DAILY NEWS.—The Wreck Register of the Bri tish Islands once more makes its appearance just as we are expecting the equinoctial gales. It is so natural to connect shipping casualties with great commotions of air and sea, that but for evidence as indisputable as that of a systematic record of obser vations, we should not believe that the greater num ber of those which have happened during the last ten years took place when the force of the wind was less than that of a strong gale. Out of 10,039 casualties recorded in that period, 118 took place in a calm, 176 in light air just sufficient to give steer age way, 450 in light breeze, 220 in gentle breeze, 784 in moderate breeze, 1,280 in fresh breeze, 1,217 in strong breeze, 441 in moderate gale, and 836 in fresh gale. 1,873 took place in strong gale, 1,444 in whole gale, 505 in a storm, 693 in a hur ricane, 50 with variable winds, and 400 under unknown conditions. Thus, while gales and hur- ricanes must continue to exercise the foresight of our meteorologists, the provident care of ship owners and the skill of mariners, it is still clear that we have a margin of loss to work up on, w hi c h is independent of the paroxysms of air and ocean, and capable of being reduced by improving the edu •cation and habits of our seamen, and increasing the responsibility of special classes of owners. The total number of casualties reported in 1865 was 1,656 of which 354 befel colliers. Of the whole number 540 resulted in total loss, and the remainder in partial dama g e, more or less serious. It is remark a bl e t h at, while 470 total losses took place from causes other than collisions, 845 only were caused by stress of weather ; 99 were caused by inattention, careless ness, or neglect ; 38 arose from defects in the ship or in her equipments, and of these 30 appear to have foundered from unseaworthiness. So, again, of the 832 partial losses caused otherwise than by collisions, 137 are reported to have been the result of carelessness ; 48 were owing to defects in the ship or equipments, and the remainder from various causes, ' believed to have been preventible if ordinary skill and care had been shown. It i s t o th ese points that public attention must con ti nue t o b e di rec ted. Ne fewer than 423 vessels h ave f oun d ere d or b e en totally lost on our coasts from unsea w o r thi n e s s during the last ten years, and with these h ave p er ished Pre' perty of the value of one million and hundreds of human lives. It appears that out of the 2,012 yes' sels lost or damaged last year the greater number belonged, as usaal, to the collier class, 533 were laden colliers, 140 colliers in ballast, 150 were earl' ing metallic ores, and 109 were l a d en w ith stone ores. The colliers of the north-east coa s t have an established reputation as the rottenest and Wore" found vessels that leave our ports. Year after year we learn that the casualties whi c h m i g ht be expect have overtaken them, but still the mischief goes en , neither the provisions of the common law nor the special acts which relate to s hippi ng b e i ng sufficient to control it. There is only one thing apparently that will remedy the evil. If the men who navigi . lte these wretched craft had received the e ducation which brings intelligence a n d se lf- res p ec t, an d which in some other countries is the birthright of the poorest citizen, they would not be leading the dull end sensuous life, which at present disposes them to per mit themselves to be sent to sea in what are no better than floating coffins. But when we have done our utmost to diminish casualties at s ea, th er e will sti ll ' , remain a large class of them which we may hope to diminish or mitigate, but cannot expect wholly to • prevent. Of late years we have had experience of gales and hurricanes of terrible severity, resulting In great loss of life. The westerly winds are especially destructive. The number of lives lost on the coasts and sands of the Irish Sea during the last seven years is more than double the number lost within the same on any other parts of the coasts. It is in view of such calamities as these that the value of that admirable organisation, the National Lifeboat In stitution, is so conspicuous. It is gratifying to observe that the courage and frankness with which the managers of this institution commit their work to the judgment of the public, and throw themselves on its voluntary support instead of accepting a pew tion of dependence on the Government, is rewarded with return of public confidence. Of the 200 life' boats on our shores nearly the whole number belong to the National Lifeboat Institution, which ball been so happily administered as to draw all classes of the community into co-operation with it, and et this moment enjoys the approbation and assistance of the public in a degree unprecedentedinitshistori• COUNTRY MARKETS.
