After the meetings in Trafalgar-square, the leaders of this movement thought fit to summon the working classes of London and of the provinces to meet on the evening of the 23d inst. in Hyde-park—a place devoted to the recreation and amusement of the people. Addresses and proclamations have been issued, inviting large numbers of persons to form processions and march through the streets, accom panied by bands of music. They are to come from all parts of London, to concentrate in the park, and there to make this demonstration. Now, we believe there is no man of sense.in the country who at all fears the political effect of these gatherings. We have not, indeed, much respect for them. The con gregation of a large number of idle people round a platform, from which the voice of the speaker can only reach a favoured few who have the best places, seems to be no very useful or impressive political act. Monster meetings belong to a bygone state of society, when an ignorant populace followed some fanatical or designing leader; they are totally unsuited to the habits of our own time, and to an age when the discussions of the press and the pro ceedings of legitimate public meetings effectually control public opinion. It may be assumed that a gathering which, taking the name of a meeting, is unable to hear the speakers it surrounds can serve no useful purpose. We had num bers of these assemblages in the old time of discontent early in the century, and since then the Chartists have flocked by thousands to support their favourite leaders, and the Irish peasantry by tens of thousands to gaze at a distance on the figure of O'Connell. But it is a remarkable feature of all these agitations that they had hardly any effect on real, sober, public opinion. They created distrust, they filled the middle class, who in this country ul timately govern, with disgust, and gave the more supercilious among the educated an argument against popular control. We assert with confidence that a further Reform of Parliament might have followed more closely on the Act of 1832 had it not been for the extravagances of Feargus O'Connor and his associates, and that there would have been a better disposition to listen to the complaints of Ireland had not the gifted but reckless agitator who led its people assumed the threatening attitude of one who wielded a multitude at his will. If the promoters of these " demonstrations" have any re gard for the success of the cause they preach, they will do well to avoid creating alarm in any part of the community. The largest and most influential section of the public will only be alienated by the spectacle of thousands of idlers collected by flags and music in order that their numbers may be paraded as a proof of the physical strength of the Reformers. The objections to these gather ings are independent of the intentions of the promoters or of the multitude itself. We have no fear that the leaders of the movement, or those who attend with a real political purpose, will attempt any breach of the peace. But it r i i s g id t l o e g t e o_ suppose that Mr. Beales, or his colleagues or th e members of the local committees, or the bon a fid e reformers can control the multitude they bn then Their avowed object is to summon every Lon doner, high or low, whom music, processions, and banners can attract. The greater the number of the people whom they can attract to the Park the greater will be the success of their " demonstra tion." The conclusion is unavoidable. If the Park were given up to such purposes as the reformers contemplate, it . would simply be a gatherin g pl ace for a disorderly crowd, the greater part of whom would know nothing and care nothing about Re form, but would make the place intolerable for per sons seeking recreation. Nor can there be any guarantee that scenes of violence may not occur. We entirely acquit the leaders who organised the late meetings of the disorderly acts of the crowd, yet such acts were committed. When a still larger multitude is brought together, who can say that there may not be a sufficient proportion of evildoers and vagabonds to cause a serious breach of the breach ? For these reasons we think Mr. Walpole is justi fied in prohibiting the meeting in Hyde Park on Monday next, and we are glad to see that in this he is supported by Sir George Grey, who, in fact, gave the original directions to Sir Richard Mayne. THE "ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES." After a long and wearisome delay an appropriation has at last been made by Congress for the ex penses connected with the exhibition of American products in Paris in 1867. This appropriation, at the moment when all other nations have completed their arrangements, and, in many instances, have actually commenced their specific work, loses half its interest and value. Had the manufacturers and mechanics of the United States been positively in formed some six months or a year ago that an opportunity would have been afforded them for a fair competition with the Old World, their energies would have been awakened and now ideas developed which would prove to the immense ultimate gain of the entire country. But with the feeling that political prejudices in Congress might prevent any action whatever the matter has been allowed to drop, and scarcely any interest has been shown throughout the country. There is now but six months' time in which to organise the committees and juries for selection from the different classes and articles as shall most perfectly develope the advance in invention in the United States. These committees have really all the hard work to do, and it is to them we must look for such a repre sentation as shall do the nation justice. The great point to be considered is what articles will best indicate the resources of the United States, and its ability to rely upon the inventive industry of its mechanics and manufacturers. To prove this it does not require that there shall be sent fifty diffe rent patterns of pianofortes or steam engines at an enormous expense for freight and for room in the Exhibition building ; but that from these fifty one only shall be selected, which, in the judgment of a proper committee or jury, is pronounced the best. America can thus show au exhaustive representation of the best articles of every description, and thereby com pete favourably with other nations. In France and England a system of prizes has been adopted in advance of the Great Exhibition, so that the greatest merit and improvement in any one class can be insured. All European nations are looking upon this as a new field of strife, in which peace fully they may compete for success, and by the strong interest awakened, the workmen, even in the most distant localities, are busily preparing them selves to distance their natural rivals. Much is ex pected from the United States. With the very limited experience in former exhibitions the result has been so favourable to American ingenuity that now some great developments are anticipated, for which the country has not really the time to pre pare. In natural products alone, however, if each State is properly organised, such a display can be made as will outshadow the Old World. The minerals, woods, soils, grains, fruits, and vegetables forwarded from each State, and properly classified with the proper information to emigrants as regards cultivation, cost of living, climate, &c., would alone more than repay the entire expense assumed by Go vernment, andperhaps prove to those Western mem bers of Congress who have opposed the appropria tion the special advantages to be gained by their own constituents by the Universal Exhibition of 1867. The various improvements in the preservation of fruit and vegetables will enable California to make such au exhibit in that line as will astonish the world. When we come to Mechanics and Manufac tures it simply requires the united energies of the various committees upon the several classes to push Iss f O ehnn r a W mtll a ao r ni d nvusefura b .rc Y et u a urt eh p pse r o o nA p b eme the het competition i o me m raae p se h et ohali i tns t i e o wt n ohere a enaadbhi invention a rivalry be as sent li s t i y mp to ly p r ro es v t e . its superiority in carpets, silks, cutlery, watches, electro-plated ware, and many other articles which it is now importing at an enormous expense. If this exhibition settles the point that the United States has within itself the power to manufacture as well and as cheaply the bulk of the articles now imported, the country will have gained in this way more than the cost to the Government of exhibiting. The bill appropriating the amount of $156,403 re ceived a final thrust as it left the hands of the committee the word coin, being struck out, leaving the expenses increased by the neces sary purchase of gold for all payments in Europe. It is to be hoped that the idea of sending the articles in a national vessel will be given up, both on the point of economy and in a proper care of th e articles themselves. A contract could be made with a responsible shipping-house in New York, by which the sending of the goods could commence at an early date, and be in gradual process of arrange ment in the Exhibition Building during the winter, in place of letting the entire collectio n arr i ve at Havre at a late date, with no time in -whichptroopdeor justice to the arrangement. All these matt ers w i ll doubtless be carefully considered by the parties. The section of the bill which appropriates $lO,OOO for the expenses of ten scientific men is open to just criticism. The total amount appro priated would be about enough in gold to pay the expenses of one competent man to devote the proper time to his duties in this connection ; and it is most sincerely to be hoped that some change shall be made in this direction. It would be well for each State to have its own representative empowered to make a report upon such special matters as would be of interest to its own welfare. Special news from St. Paul report the discovery of more very rich mines at Vermillion Lake. Thousands are rushing - to the new ladorado. SPORTI: STAMFORD RACES-FRIDAY. This interesting gathering on Lord Exeter's estate was brought to a close to-day under highly advantageous cir cumstances, the weather being glorious, the attendance, though somewhat short of yesterday, numerous, the fields of a fair average strength, and the sport excellent. The aristocratic element was in strong force, the carriages of several noblemen lining the course. the stand was exten sively patronised, and that pall devoted to the ladies was well filled. There were seven events set down on the card for decision, and the races teiniinated shortly after five o'clock. Appended is a return of the sport : The KETTON STAKES of 50 sovs each, h ft; for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 71b ; penalties and allowances About a mile and a half. 9 subs.

Covey) 3 Betting-11 to 10 on Elland, 6to 5 agst Tormentor, and 20 to 1 agst Brother to Guerilla. Tormentor took up the running at a slow pace, and on passing the stand the first time was about three lengths in advance of Elland ; Brother to Guerilla at this early period of the race being a dozen lengthein the rear. On the far side of the course Tormentor increased her lead, and improved the pace as she reached the straight, having a lead of at least four lengths as they passed the stand for the final circuit of the course, although Elland was pulling double and going as well as his backers could desire. As they approached the turn for home Elland gradually decreased the lead of Tor mentor and a fine race was anticipated, but Elland, although he managed to reach the mare's quarters, was outstayed, and Tormentor, drawing away at the half dis tance, won, amid some excitement, by two lengths. Bro. to Guerilla was tailed off. The CLIPDEN Cur, value 200 sovs, added to a handicap sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added, for three yr-olds and upwards ; winners extra.

After taking a few strides Trapeze held a clear lead, which he increased to half-a-dozen lengths after going 150 yards; Cecrops, on the extreme right, was second, followed by Warrior, Pantaloon, Redan, Knight of St. Michael, and Confederate, in a cluster, the others, in somewhat straggling order, being whipped in by Skirmish. Approaching the distance Cecrops made his effort, and got within a length of Trapeze, but sho and Redan were soon beaten, and Warrior and Pantaloon went on in pursuit of Trape z e , who, however, won in a canter by three lengths. Pantaloon finished a length in r ear o f Warrior, Molly Carew was fourth, The Clown and L a Me chante close together next, followed by Historian and Furze Chat. The rear division comprised Confederate Cecrops, Redan, and Skirmish, the latter being the last throughout. THE SCURRY HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, h ft, for horses o. all ages. T.Y.C.

Tho usual sale of yearlings, bred by Lord Exeter at Wothorpe Paddocks, near Stamford, took place on Friday, when Mr. E. Tattersall officiated. There wero 11 offered for sale, and a moderate lot they were, or no doubt all of them would have been sold. As it was, only eight of them found purchasers. A filly by Midas, out of Boa, was the first brought out, but, being a mere thick-set pony, Col. Loyd Lyndsay bought her for 25 guineas. A couple of fillies by Nutshell (son of Nutwith), out of Alexandria, by Ambrose, and Clplia, by The Provost, were next offered, but, being loose-made and of little promise as racehorses, they were both sent back, although the latter was afterwards sold by private contract to Mr. Partner for 70 gs. A filly by Knight of St. Patrick, out of Miss Stamford, well-grown all over, with a level, racing-like top, William Day took at 100 guineas. A filly by Knight of the Thistle, from Celia, well framed for speed, Mr. Payne took cheap at 100 guineas. A colt by Thormanby, out of Amelia, with plenty of bone, but narrow over the hips, Lord Bateman gave his value for 200 guineas. A big, loose-made filly by Knight of St. Patrick, out of Nicotine, with a belly like a brood mare, went to Mr. Sutton for 210 guineas; and he bought a colt by the same horse, out of Sultana, low, lengthy, strong, and racing-like, for 250 guineas. Lastly, came the best of the lot, in the brother to Knight of the Crescent, a big, well-grown, and ex tremely powerful colt, but more of the weight-carrying than one likely to make a racehorse of high class. Ho was well sold to Mr. Stirling Crawford for 570 gs. Annexed are the prices, ecc.:— Gs. Bay filly by Midas, out of Boa ...(Col.

During the week the specie movement has been of an extensive character, the imports, owing to large arrivals of gold from Australia and silver from the Continent have amounted to about £1,498,742, while the exports have been to the extent of £26,409, chiefly iu remittances to the Continent through private sources. CHRISTOPHER NORTH SHAMMING NIGHTMARE.— It is impossible to give a more graphic illustration of this, says a writer in the London Review, in reference to the rapidity of our dreams, than by recounting one of the ex perimentswhich the "Shepherd" performs upon the sleep ing Christopher North in ono of the early " Noctes Ambrosianva." " There noo," says Mr. Hogg, I hae drapped some cauld water on his bald pow, and it's tricklia' doun his haffets to his lugs. Whist ! wait a wee ! There noo, ye see his mouth openin' and his chest heavin', as if the waters o' the deep sea were gullaring in his throat—he's noo droonin." Mr. Ambrose remon strates against this experiment, but the Shepherd pro ceeds with it. "Hand back, sir; look how he's trying to streik out his richt leg as if it had gotten the cramp. He's trying to cry for help. Noo he's risin' to the surface for the third and last time ; noo he gives over strugglin' and sinks doun to the brown-ribbed sand amang the crawling partens." And the same experiment is tried by tighten ing Christopher's necktie, whereupon he goes through all the circumstances of being hanged ; and only a fight be tween the performers prevents a rehearsal of the guillotine by the aid of the carving knife. Indeed, the whole pro cess is a triumphant success, only Mr. North unfortunately lets out, a little later, that he has been awake all the time. APOTHECARIES'-HALL.—The following are the names of gentlemen who have passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certifi cates to practise, on Thursday, July 19 :—John Joseph Bingham, Stavely, Derbyshire ; Peter Harding, Shrews bury ; George William Mousley, Athertone ; and Henry Beamont Pattinson, Havitree, near Exeter. The follow ing gentlemen also on the same day passed their first exa mination :—Timothy Wood Lee, Charles D. Batt, and Edward Bowles Crowfoot,' St. Bartholomew's Hospital; John Webb and Edward Sunderland, Guy's Hospital. IRISH RAILWAY COMPANIES.—Copies of two Treasury minutes, dated May 24 and June 15 respectively, have just been published. They show that deputations of noblemen and gentlemen interested iu Irish railways have waited on Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone and on the Secretary of the Treasury, asking that her Majesty's Go vernment would assist them in the difficulties caused by the monetary crisis. The Public Works Loan Commis sioners were instructed to advance £500,000, at a rate of interest not less than 4 per cent., and on security which should be sufficiently satisfactory to them. THE AUTOGRAPH NOTE BOOK OF ADDISON, con taining portions of essays contributed to the Spectator, which was so much canvassed in the public journals two years ago, was disposed of at the conclusion of a recent sale of MSS., and realised twenty-six guineas. Only a short time since this identical volume was sold by a Lon don dealer in old books for seven shillings ! THE OATHS COMMISSION.—The Right Hon. Russell Gurney, Q.C., Recorder of the city of London, and the Right Hon. Horatio Waddington, Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, have been placed on the Oaths Commission of Inquiry, in roam of the Right Hon. Lord Stanley and the Right Hon. Spencer Horatio Walpole, who have resigned, being prevented by other duties from attending the meetings of the Commissioners. A DELICATE CREATURE.—The dandy brother, says a London Reviewer, in writing about the genus of brothers generally, wears an eye-glass, and latterly a tooth_ pick ; swells have been known to catch cold when going into a draught without a tooth-pick.

Inventors and the public are invited to attend. WHAT'S IN A NAME.--Mr. Bugg, the innkeeper of Yorkshire, was really precipitate when he exchanged his noble surname for that of Howard, for Mr. Isaac Taylor tells us, in his "Words and Places," that Howard is merely the shortened form of "Hog -warden !" Guardian. SUPPLY OF NEEDLE GUNS TO ITALY BY PRUSSIA. —The Augsburg Gazette states that Prussia has sent 20,000 needle guns to Italy, with the secret of the cartridges ; 30,000 more are to follow. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The harvest has commenced in the neighbourhood of Stamford, Mr. Close, of Barnack, having cut a field of oats whi c h were quite ready for the scythe. The hay crop in the neigh bourhood of Caistor, Lincolnshire, has been generally se cured in good condition. The crops are generally good. A new watering-place, to be called Ocean City, is being started on the beach some miles north of Atlantic City. We take the following from the Pittsburg Mining Journal:—" Nashville, Tennessee. June 23,1866.—We did not in our last say all we intended to about the manufac tures in Kentucky, but the geography and geology is so identical with that of its neighbour Tennessee, its mineral products, soil, water courses, and channels of trade so similar, that we thought it appropriate to embody in this article a discussion of manufactures in both States. Ten nessee has an area of 85,600 square miles. Her popula tion in 1860 was 1,109,817, an increase of ton per. cent. in ten years. The density of her population is 24.12 to the square mile, and her ratio to the total population of the country 3.65 per cent. The population subsists ohiefly on agriculture, though manufactures are carried on to some extent. It may not be generally known that in 1840 Tennessee was the third state in the Union in the amount and value of her manufactures, New York and Pennsyl vania alone surpassing her. The mineral area of Ten- nessee is not definitely nor oven approximately known. During the last thirty years the subject has received no attention. It was left for the cruel war' and the Yankee faculty for seeing things to demonstrate the actual resources of Tennessee, and the more inquiry the greater number of acres that are daily being added to the mineral area of the State. This much is known ; the valleys of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, and the _ _ _ valley of East Tennessee, contain accessible and inexhaust ible mines. The extent of this area must be fully 10,000 square miles. From the known character of formations in the other parts of the State, it seems safe to conclude that Tennessee has minerals extensive and valuable enough to make her tho first State in tho South, in her facilities for mining and manufactures. The minerals found in Tennessee are iron, coal, copper, petroleum, gypsum, ‘ alum, nitre, lead, silver, zinc, copper, salt, salt- . . petre, marble, and hydraulic limestone. Their location may be determined by the geological divisions running !rom north to south. There is a legend that one day a woman went to Brigham Young for couns e l, t ouc hi ng some ill ega l oppres- sion by an officer of the Church. Brigham, like c:true politician, assumed to know her ; but when it became ne. cessary to record her case, hesitated, and said. "Let me see sister, I forgot your name." "My name! " was the in- dignant reply ; " Why, lam your wife ! " " When did I marry you ? " The woman informed the " President," who referred to an account-book in his desk, and then said —" Well, I believe you are right. 1 knew your face was t.tiniliar." - ingenuous lowing :—" The Fenians are repenting of t t . hel t a recent From the Pall Mall Gazette we extra.rct the fol lowing:—" confidence in the American Governme in n ed his audience Li v e will 'keep clear of that for the future the Irish E "ecruhood,' h e said, 'will be meeting at Buffalo, President Roberts info:.

In a few weeks instructions will be onfotthbee Elexsseccuotnivspeiocf:tuhse t ht to the different circles, and every man who has an sen Irisn heart is expected to do his part to further the great cause.' In conclusion ' President' Roberts made an elo quent and artless appeal—though not without a fine touch of unconscious irony —to the national spirit : ' When you return to your homes determine to sacrifice everything for Fenianism. The battle of Limestone Ridge has exhibited your powers. But for the check from the Government we would have possession of Canada to-night, and I would have been granting letters of marque to vessels to cripple England in her strongest point—her commerce. Our time will soon come. The day of Irish freedom is not far dis tant. Ireland will soon take her place among the nations of the earth ; and the faires.t island on .the. globe, under the control of Irishmen, will be made to blossom as the rose and become a garden spot.'

The Weddle Paint Works, south of the ice house, was also destroyed. The loss is $90,000, partly covered by insurance. The total valuation of real estate in Memphis this year is $40,000,000, against $17,000,000 last year. Many complaints are made, but the Board of Assessors answer by stating that numbers of men are ready to buy at that price. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Da! VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.—THIS DAY.

KELLEY AND HAMILL. A crowded audience assembled at the Canterbury Hall on Thursday evening to witness the presentation of the stakes of £l,OOO to Harry Kelley, won in his late contest with Hamill on the Tyne. Toe " champion of the world" addressed the audience in a short but characteristic speech, stating his determination to retire, but at the same time promising that, should the championship of the Thames ever be placed in jeopardy by a foreigner, he will come forward and do his best to uphold the aquatic precedence of England. This speech was received most enthusiastically by the audience —indeed, so long and continuous was the cheering that it was some time before order could be restored. Several of Kelley's friends appeared with him, among whom were Mr. Bush, his principal backer, and Mr, Drewitt, Kelley's trainer, to whom he owes so much. THE WAR IN GERMANY.

A lady in Concordia, Illinois, was very sick a few days ago, and her physician decided that squirrel soup was necessary for her. A request was at once sent to all the men in town to shoot a squirrel for her, but there was not a man to be found in the town willing to do this simple act for an invalid. A country girl, who happened to be in the neighbourhood, heard of it, shouldered a rifle, and re turned in about half an hour with four squirrels—enci shot through•the head.
