It might naturally have been expected from the activity recently shown by the opponents to the Malt Tax that many weeks would not be suffered to pass without their making some demonstration within the walls of Parliament. Accordingly, last evening Sir FITZROY KELLY moved a resolution, " That, in any future remission of indirect taxation, this House should take into consideration the duty on malt, with a view to its early reduction and ulti mate repeal." The House, however, after a length ened debate, arrived at an opposite conclu sion, and by a majority of 80 refused to put the question. Sir F. KELLY cannot complain that his motion did not obtain a fair hearing, or that it was disposed of by a thin house, for more than four hundred members mustered at the division, and the discussion occupied the whole evening. The speakers on both sides expressed themselves with moderation and brought forward their arguments fairly enough, but the greater part of the speech-making was left to the opponents of the tax, who might console themselves for the ill success of their motion by the public expression of their sentiments. They had certainly a good case to bring forward and it was entrusted to able hands. Sir FITZROY KELLY, who occupied the chair at the late great out-of-door meeting, moved the resolu tions, and, of course, set them in the best possible light. He was followed by another speaker of no insignificant position, Sir BULWER LYTTON, who naturally espoused the cause of the agriculturists, and brought the artillery of his powerful logic to bear against the immovable au thorities of the Exchequer. Mr. DU CANE, whose name is favourably known in debate, came in to support his leaders, and, after several other inter vening speakers, Mr. HENLEY wound up the dis cussion "by a brief and straightforward address. On the other side, the Government were contented to entrust their defence principally to Mr. MILNER GIBSON, but the reasons which he alleged were suf ficiently powerful to influence the house. On the part of the Opposition it was argued, with some plausibility, that the repeal or at least the reduction of the Malt-tax, was justly to be expected from the other remissions, and Sir B. Lrrrox contended that it was in fact a logical consequence of the repeal of the corn laws. The mover of the resolutions wisely enough refrained from asking for immediate repeal, but ingeniously framed his motion so as to include many supporters who might be averse to a sweeping change. Sir BULWER LYTTON in his vigorous address especially d we l t upon this point, and argued that since the farmers paid their share of that income tax which was avowedly levied for the sake of establishing free trade, they had a right to some share of its benefits in the reduction of this obnoxious duty. But he said it was asked, " How can you expect us to repeal all at once a duty that yields £6,000,000 a year ? A mere re duction would not satisfy the agitators, and would not get rid of the exciseman." " Reasoners of this kind," continued the right hon. baronet, " sum up by saying, since we cannot give you all we will give you nothing. But is that the way in which Reformers deal with reforms? And is that the way in which we ought to rest and be thankful ? Why e ver y a b use would last to the end of time —......------- , .---- - 7 - if one party did not concede something, and the other party did not accept a something as an instalment of the whole demand." This is true enough and the anti-malt tax agitators have shown wisdom and moderation in not asking too much. As we have before said, if no contingency should alter the position of affairs during the year their claims may fairly be taken into consideration next session, when a partial reduction of the tax may with all justice be granted them. But however much so large a duty may be opposed to the spirit of our commercial legislation, and however described, it may be that no one class should have to complain of a long standing and unredressed grievance, we very much fear that when the long wished for day arrives, and the burden of the malt tax is lightened, if not totally removed, that the farmers will find their expectations disap pointed. Mr. MILNER GIBSON very pertinently asked how it would be possible to secure to the far mer of barley land the advantages of the repeal. " Is it not obvious," says the President of the Board of Trade, "if the profit of any particular kind of agriculture were greater than the profit upon the general kind of agriculture that competition would force down the profit, and the excess would go to the landlord in the shape of rent ? The advantage to the farmer must be temporary, because if the profit of the barley lands increased new tenants would in a short time come forward prepared to give higher rents for those lands, because they would be satisfied with the ordinary profits derived from the employment of capi tal in agriculture." This is a polite way of saying that the landlords, generally speak ing, would avail themselves of the repeal to raise their rents, so that the real profit of the reduction or abolition would go into the landlord's pocket rather into the farmer's. Mr. GIBSON says that the amount of duty which every man pays for every shilling spent on tea is at least 4d. ; for the same value in coffee and brown sugar, 2d. and a fraction ; while for every shilling spent on beer he only pays lid. This is a practical way of stating the case and more convincing than the same gentle man's argument, that spirits have as much right to be free as beer. This is a most unsound ;proposi tion, and we do not wonder that it should have called forth expressions of marked "dissent. No wise man will wish to see so dangerous a tempter as gin dispute the position of the comparatively harmless malt. The one is far less likely - to be abused while its ordinary use is beneficial, but the other has already far too many victims among our toiling classes. The public has a good right to de mand a further reduction of the tea duty, and a reduction of the oppressive income-tax, which falls so hard on the struggling professional classes, before the House decides on a repeal or even a considerable reduction of a tax, which is in reality rather a diminution of the landlord's profits than a burden on the farmer, and whose removal would probably be more beneficial to the brewer than to the con- sura er, The demands made by Prussia, in respect to • the Schleswig-Holstein affair, has exceeded the worst expectations of the prophets respecting the long prognosticated settlement. It will be seen in the long run that Prussia has gone too far in her encroachments, and that she has tried the temper of other States, large and small, beyond endurance. Austria is as yet quiescent, but it may be the lull before the storm, or she may deem it politic to keep on friendly terms for the present until matters have become more fully developed, and a crisis is imminent. The hesitation that has marked the course of the Vienna Cabinet is a suffi cient proof that all is not so smooth as a casual looker on might suppose ; there is no doubt that great caution is required just now to enable the EMPEROR and his Government to extricate them sleves from the false position in which they are placed. There is certainly no reason to pity them since they had no equitable claims to any part Of the Duchies, but so far as they can be considered apart from their victims they have been ill-treated. As allies with Prussia, and partners in the Dano-German war, they have been outwitted at every turn, and now are threatened with the failure of all their plans and projects. It is not likely that, under these circumstances, we shall hear no more of the affair, allowing that for the pre sent M. BISMARCK'S proposition is acceded to. The minor States of Germany, are also greatly dissatisfied with the aspect of affairs, and many machinations are being resorted to, in an underhand manner, to try their strength and seek for the chance of effect ing some alteration in the case as it now stands. The inhabitants of the Duchies are also testifying their disapprobation to the Berlin scheme pretty strongly. Although but little attention is paid to their wishes, just now, in any quarter, it may safely be argued that in this manifestation we may recog nise signs and tokens of a coming storm, or at all events of a very unsettled state .of things. Prussia is not likely to find the road so pleasant as it was at first pictured to be, and doubtless before very long the aspiring statesmen, who have sent forth her armies to conquer, and presided at her councils with so much wisdom and justice, would be very glad to undo the past if possible, or at all events to modify in some respects their zeal for conquest and rapacity in annexing these conquests. Perhaps even now they may secretly entertain the feelings that hereafter it cannot be concealed they possess. There is another piece of treachery that cannot be too strongly denounced, and that is the conduct of the Berlin Court to the Duke of AUGUSTENBERG. HOW was it that last year we heard nothing of all the rights ? Then nothing talk e d o f but unity doubts as to hereditary. there anda complete wa s nothing s understanding between Austria and Prussia as to the validity of the claims of that Prince. The fact is that this is a game in whi c h eac h party is thrown over in turns as it suits the temper of the chief mover, and when the day of retribution arrives, who can say how many and how bitter will be the foes who rejoice at the downfall of a Power which in its palmy days was false to its friends, i m pi ao _ able to its foes, and a scorner of all those senti ments of honour which should animate the conduct of the rulers of a great country, and be the main springs of the actions of its people. It is greatly to be deplored that after all the ex pectations so recently indulged in concerning the cessation of strkes that we should again hear of the recurrence of that pernicious practice. A more disastrous system cannot prevail than this, and the injuiries that such a course inflicts on all are almost incalculable. It seems strange that nothing can teach the masters more consideration, and the men more patience. It is quite certain that whatevr objects either side has in view by the prolongation of the dispute are entirely thrown away by the effects produced through such confusion. Immense damag e is done to both parties, and what is almost w . ors n e than all, is the suspicious feeling engendered the minds of all concerned. It may fairly be said emuch The that one strike seems to pave theth masters cannot be too e wa y f or ano thr. deprecated conduct i of n this matter. It is a great pity that they will exhibit such grasping propensities, and strive to clutch at the greatest amount of profit, as by th's extortionate THE SUN , LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1865.1 manner of proceeding they are constantly causing the outbreaks whose consequences are so greatly to be deplored. A combination may be good or bad, according to circumstances ; but it is a fearful power to wield, and great caution is requisite on the part of those who have such opportunities at their disposal. So far as can be gathered from the details of this last affair in Staffordshire, it would seem that the masters are resolved to stand their ground, and that coute qui coute, they will not yield a point or abandon their intentions. What can be more mistaken than this line of action, and when we reflect upon the consequences o 1 such a determina tion the best means of estimating the affair in its full magnitude is to consider the numbers thrown out of employ in consequence of the grave misunder standing that has occurred. The wages of thirty thousand persons were stopped on Saturday night, and if the dispute continue rand the lock out become general, it will follow that two hundred thousand, or thereabouts, will be deprived of their usual means of subsistence. Surely these facts speak volumes as to the nature of these strikes, and should influence those who are at all able to do anything in the matter to check the continuance of these unhappy altercations. There can be no doubt that great harm is done by the pertinacity of the Trades' Unions, by • which means these strikes are often fostered, when they otherwise might not attain to such lengths and assume such dread proportions. The class that goes about under the name of delegates also causes considerable in jury, and it was mentioned at the Chamber of Commerce the other day that many make their living by going about from one place to another on the pretence of finding out the wishes and inten tions of the operatives, and thus they fan the flame' of discord, and in reality very often create the dis pute that they pretend to explain away and put a stop to. The sooner the plan of arbitration is adopted universally the better it will be for all. If masters and men agree to conform to the de cision of a committee of independent per sons, the results must be very different from what they are when both rush into the contest, resolved upon working out their prejudices to the utmost, and very often in the heat of argu ment and the excitement of the altercation they insist upon far more being agreed to than was ex pected at the outset. A struggle for supremacy between employers and employed is always greatly to be deplored on many grounds, and it is very evi dent that these strikes and lock-outs never really settle the matter so that the disputed point is finally set at rest. One side yields from exhaustion very often, or the other gives in to suit convenience, but thobitter feeling rankles in the mind, and the dissatis fied notion remains the same ; and so it goes on until an other outbreak occurs to shock the community and to paralyse the energies of the trade in the locality. It would be a great relief to the minds of those who regard these questions in an impartial manner could they see a little more consideration exhibited by the masters. They are all on the alert directly a whisper is given, or a hint heard, as to their privileges 'being assailed, but we never hear or see any signs exhibited that the welfare of their opera tives is a matter of their concern. This should not be—property has its duties as well as its rights, and until these are looked upon in a true light and in a right spirit, we shall not witness the end of strikes, and the cessation of vexatious altercations. The men, also, are greatly in fault by persisting in seizing every opportunity to vindicate their claims, regardless of loss and neglectful of after consequences. Until more thought is given to the requirements of their position by both parties, it would seem almost hopeless to expect a better state of things to supervene. No desirable result can possibly ensue from these con tinued strikes ; they must, on the contrary, cause an immense amount of injury to all parties imme diately concerned in them, the particulars of which those at a distance can hardly estimate or fully realise. It is melancholy to observe the constant recurrence of these deplorable strikes, at a time when the spread of education is so uni versal, and when the various classes of the population possess so many means of informing themselves on the subject of labour in its extended application and remote influences be yond the immediate effects of momentary loss and profit. " A little learning is a dangerous thing," we are told, and so must that information be which only allows the masters to think of their own profits, and permits the men to care for nothing but their own prejudices, both sides regardless of conse quences which are solemn and serious. STATE OF THE WORKS OF THE THAMES EMBANK MENT.—Yesterday the works of the Thames em bankment, which were injured by the bursting of a coffer dam on Thursday last, remained in the same flooded state, many parts being submerged from 12 to 14 feet in depth. The powerful steam pumps were again set to work, but without any material reduction in the depth of water, consequently the operations in this section have been sus pended until the cofferdam is substantially repaired, or a new one constructed. The men have not, however, been thrown out of employment, as Mr. Furness, the contractor, has commenced the construction of cofferdams near White hall, where more than 100 men are employed in pile-driv ing, and it is expected that a new dam will be commenced in a few days on the site of the late disaster. REMOVAL OF THE COLOSSEUM, REGENT'S-PARK. —Considerable alterations are about to be carried into effect in Regent's-park by the removal of the Colos seum, and the appropriation of the site to the ornamenta tion of the park. The site comprises about two acres of ground, upon which it is intended to erect a terrace and several first-class houses. A further change will take place by the formation of an ornamental garden and other im provements, which it is expected will considerably increase the value of the property. GENEROUS AT LAST.—A venerable-looking gen tleman was seen two days back in the Avenue de Noailles, at Lyons, offering handfuls of gold and silver to the passers-by, and crying out, " To-morrow is the end of the world. lam rich ; what can Ido with my fortune ? Let us share, my friends, and pass merrily the few moments which remain!" One woman alone accepted the proferred money. The person thus conducting himself was formerly a silk manufacturer, and, it is hardly necessary to say, was out of his mind. Some friends of his family, hearing of the incident, took him to his own house. THE FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday Mr. Richards, the deputy coroner, resumed, at the Chassoraux Arms, Park-lane, Tottenham, the inquiry respecting the suicide of Mr. Edward Edwards, aged 48 years. It will be remembered that the deceased, on Wednesday morning last, was found lying on the rails of the Great Eastern Railway, near the Ponder's End Station. A train had passed over his neck, and nearly severed his head from his body. He had latterly become very desp on di ng i n m i n d , i n consequence o f h av i ng become addicted to h a bit s o f i n t ox i cat i on . Hi s b us i ness , he had stat e d, was going wrong. A letter in his pocket indicated that he had designedly destroyed his life, as he stated his sufferings were horrible. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide while of un sound mind. PLYMOUTH, Tuesday.—The ship Goolwa, Capt. A. Johnstone, 717 tons, one of th e O r i ent li ne, be longing to Messrs. Anderson, Thomson, and Co., of Billi ter-court, from Adelaide for Lo n d on , was off Port land yes terday. She left on Dec. 1, and brings eight cabin passen gers and a cargo consisting of 2,715 bales of wool, 2,016 bags of copper ore, 16,225 ingots and 4,862 tiles of copper, 91 casks of tallow, several bales of loather, and a quantity of bones, horns, gum, ecc. The Essex, 1,042 tons, Capt. Attwood, belonging to Messrs. Money Wigram and Sons, of Blackwall, left Plymouth Sound at 10 a.m., on Friday, for Melbourne, with a full general cargo and a large num ber of passengers. The Coldstream, 756 tons, Capt. Ken nedy, belonging to Messrs. Teighe and Smith, sailed at 6 p.m. with 295 Government emigrants for Adelaide, under the charge of Dr. Jolly, surgeon-superintendent. The Lo belia, 900 tons, Captain Ullman, belonging to Messrs. J. Lidgett and Sons, is hourly expected from London to em bark Government emigrants for Queensland. The Holms dale, Captain Ferris, belonging to Messrs. Phillips, Shaw, and Lowther, is now on her way down Channel, and is appointed to embark passengers here on the 13th iust. for Melbourne. THEATRE-ROYAL ADELPHI. Miss Bateman's Re-appearance as Julia. Last evening's performance of Sheridan Knowles's popular five-act drama " The Hunchback" could not possibly have gone off more brilliantly than it did from the rise to the fall of the curtain. That the evening's entertainment was, for some reason, regarded by the frequenters of the Adelphi Theatre as one of a very exceptional character, was manifest enough indoors by the densely crowded state of the house in all parts, and out of doors by the long string of carriages in waiting trailed all down the Strand as far as Duncannon-street. As the whole town had, in fact, known full well during some days previously, the occasion had, in truth, an especial and very peculiar interest of its own—for inasmuch as it was the one on which Miss Bateman was to make her appearance for the third time in London as Julia, in " The Hunchback." The remarkable success achieved by her in the impersonation of that very difficult but very charm ing character, had been, in some measure, dis tressingly baulked by reason of several weeks of severe indisposition, necessitating, under able medical advice, the lengthened withdrawal of the young actress from the discharge of her professional en gagements. This illness of hers, however, having now at length happily terminated, Miss Bateman appeared once more last evening upon the scene of her former triumphs in London. Having witnessed the first performance, some weeks since, of " The Hunchback " as that drama is now cast among the Adelphi Company, and having then recorded the highly favourable impression produced upon our mind by the representation of the play as a whole, but, above all, and in a very especial manner, by the exquisitely graceful, and pathetic impersonation of Julia by Miss Bateman— hitherto famous alone in the country as Leah —we have only now to affirm quite distinctly that that impression was sig4ally confirmed last evening upon our witnessing the event of the repetition of each—of the play, that is, and of that particular im personation. The conspicuous or salient points of the latter, meaning by this of the Julia of the night, were still of course (and oh, so exquisitely ! with such in tensity of passion in the one, with such pathetic ten derness in the other!)—" Why wont you speak to me, Clifford ?" and " Helen, I hate you !" The latter through the clenched teeth ! The former with visible and audible anguish—dissolving in tearsi! Theyoung actress's first appearance upon the stage last evening was the signal for a burst of acclamations. Throughout the night she was greeted with marked and reiterated evidences of the admiration and, more than that, of the emotion created among the audience by her performance—Miss Bateman being recalled more than once before the foot-lights —upon the last of these 'occasions (after the fall of the green curtain) being led across the stage by Mr. Webster himself. The success, the triumph, of her Julia is a fact, therefore, assured and unmistakable. Again, moreover, we have to record the brilliant effect produced by Miss Henrietta Simms' delightful impersonation of Helen. Her two great scenes with Master Modus (sawnily played by Mr. Billingtoo, were, thanks to Miss Simms' riant espi4glerie and vivacity, marked by alternate and sometimes simultaneous explosions of laughter and applause. Messrs. Toole and Romer, as Fathom and Thomas, fooled each other to the top of their bent, again, in their one scene together —as laughably almost as though they had been a couple of the Clowns of Shakspere rather than a couple of the serving men of Sheri dan Knowles. A passing word of commen dation, moreover, appears to be due to the Lord Tinsel of Mr. Ashley —really, in its way, an ineff able representation of lordly impertinence and in souciance. Upon Miss Bateman's return to the boards of the Adelphi—though it must still be only, for prudence sake, for three instead of for six nights per week—we would here offer our con gratulations alike to the ever-enterprising manager, to the public generally, and to the charming young actress herself. Happily, on the off-nights, " The Hunchback " of Sheridan Knowles is alternated with the same drathatist's chef d' ceuvre, of " The Love Chase," in which Mr. Webster, (Ake of the most legitimate and accomplished among living actors, impersonates his original cha racter of Wildrake —Mrs. Stirling being the Widow Green, and Miss Henrietta Simms the sparkling, radiant Constance. The performance of " The Love Chase" this very evening, it will be seen, will be honoured by the presence of their Royal High nesses the Prince and Princess. LATEST INTELLIGENCF. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)

The following draft of the Address, in reply to the Speech from the Throne, was read in the Senate yesterday. " SIRE,—The Legislative session, far from ap pearing an embarassment to your Majesty, is, upon the contrary, only an opportunity for entering into communication with France, of showing the vigi lant initiative of the monarch, the agreement of the great Powers, and the liberty of discussion and of control. It is a moment of useful trial for our con stitutional forms. When enation sees the Govern ment afford it without intermission, order and secu rity, the development of its resources, and the essential satisfactions of liberty, it understands that its institutions are upon the true course, and your Majesty has been able to say to this grateful people —' Let us firmly maintain the bases of the Consti tion.' They will be maintained unaltered so long as the imposing voice of those millions of suffrages shall be heard, which have made and will re-make our fundamental plebiscitums. " Your Majesty, not wishing a barren session, has traced the programme of that of 1865. It is charac terised by your Majesty's constant desire to turn the powers placed in your hands by the national will, to a larger emancipation of individual forces. To aid liberty by authority, in place of weakening authority by liberty, is the true, safe, and efficacious policy. Private liberties are fundamental liberties. Political liberties are only their guarantee ; and a State is in a normal condition when the latter suffice to secure the former, and power itself lends the4i the support of its protection. After having endowed the country with commercial liberty, your Majesty asks the Legislative bodies to deliberate upon the extension of the communal and departmental free doms, an excellent innovation, intended to release the central administration from too heavy a burden, without weakening the energy of its springs and its powerful unity. " Prosecutions in criminal matters, already much mitigated, will be purged in a fitting measure from some remains of security not indispensable to arrive at just repression. Personal restraint, suspended by the Provisional Government on March 9, 1848, and re-established shortly afterwards by the law of Dec. 13, at the re quest of the Bank of France and of commerce, will be submitted to the test of a new examination, in which the necessities of credit and the regard due to personal liberty, will be carefully weighed. " Commercial companies will be regarded from the point of view of freer action for the legitimate combinations of private interests. " Lastly, primary instructions, in which so many ameliorations have already been introduced, either in the treatment of the teachers or in the number of schools and the attendance, will receive a livelier impulse under the influence of that just and liberal idea that, in a country of universal suffrage, every body should know how to read and write. " The moral progress of the nation will thus keep pace with its material advance. The great works will be continued this year without appeal to credit, and their increasing development will add to that vast movement of international commerce which has risen since 1851 from 2 milliards 614 millions to upwards of 7 milliards. It is more difficult to express in figures the moral progress of the people. But if we reckon upon the one hand the subventions de voted to religion, to schools, and to the arts, and, upon the other, the tendency of the laws, the favour able inclination of the population towards that which elevates existence, and the more marked taste for intellectual pleasures, it is evident that the moral activity of France has not remained in arrear. The Legislative measures of which your Majesty is taking the initiative will throw fecund seed upon a soil already prepared by successful effort. " Nevertheless, a State like France could not exist even in the midst of general prosperity, without suf fering some occasional inconveniences. Owing to the unforeseen variations in the rates of money, and the price of certain articles of prime necessity, in dustrial and economic embarrassments have occurred, as has also been the case abroad in all the great markets. Here, however, more than elsewhere, private interests have lessened them by their prudence and their courage. If France likes to trace the protect ing hand of the Government in public affairs, she knows how to preserve herself amidst the difficulties which have surprised her in her private activity. " It is further to be remarked that this crisis tends to disappear by the resolute attitude of our com merce, our manufactures, and our workmen, and that the situation of our finances has not suffered any injury. The provisions of the Budget will therefore be realised in their entirety. " We have seen with satisfaction the inquiry ordered by your Majesty into the question of the banks, which took up an important position in the deliberations of the Senate last session. It will be undoubted utility to have light thrown upon this subject, which so directly affects the economical problem of the irregular oscillations in the rate of money. " The position of agriculture, as regards the too moderate price of cereals, has attracted your Ma jesty's attention. The country will thank you for this watchfulness over one of the most essential points of agricultural prosperity. " The troubles which fanaticism and ignorance have excited in Algeria have been a subject of pre occupation, but not of uneasiness. Wherever our soldiers are there is victory. But the victory of France is that of moderation and humanity. After having re-established Obedience, your Majesty has now no other desire than to resume the work of colonisation. By the unity of power your Majesty will give security to the European colony, without its having to fear an abuse of military authority. The Arab population upon its part, will feel our strength without losing any of the benevolent intentions of your Government. May it remember always that humanity is not weakness, and that justice inflicts severe chastisements upon rebellion. "In another order of ideas, unexpected emotion has been aroused by the relations of the State and the Church. France, the disseminatrix in the world of the principles of 1789, is never indifferent to what tends to call them in question. Your Majesty has understood this feeling, and has ordered the execu tion of the law which sums up, in this matter, the most incontestable maxims of ancient and modern public right. In this no injury has been done to the religion dear to the majority in this country ; for it is under the empire of this right, constantly exer cised since the time of St. Louis, that France had obtained from Rome herself the title of ' mirror of Christianity.' The law of April 8, 1862, constitutes one of the essential attributes of sovereignty. It is nothing but a defence against possible abuses from abroad and at home. France will not allow it to pass out of date. But she wishes, at the same time, that harmony should reign intact between two Powers, the union of which, solemnly consecrated by one of the greatest acts of Napoleon 1., has been kept up by striking benefits under your Majesty's reign. " Abroad, your Majesty had stated the removal of the difficulties which divide States as the durable work of a European Congress. This generous idea has not been realised. But the war which has dis tressed Denmark, and the dissensions by - which Germany is agitated, have soon proved how much wisdom there was in your previsions. In the midst of these events your Majesty has observed a calm and neutral attitude, confining yourself to stating principles. " But Italy in her turn merited more serious at tention. In that country are found causes for grave solicitude—viz., the consequences of our glorious war of 1859, the settlement of the new kingdom, and the independence of the Papacy. The Conven tion of the 15th September, promulgated under un expected circumstances and responding to pacific symptoms, has opened fresh prospects to reconcilia tion. By transferring her capital to Florence, Italy has barred the road of Rome to passion. By ac cepting the treaty, she has associated herself by solemn promises with your Majesty's thought of protecting the Pontifical frontier, of securing the financial situation of the Roman Government, and of facilitating the recruitment of its army. Effica cious negotiations were therefore commenced. It is your desire, Sire, that they should proceed more rapidly. The Convention, loyally and completely carried out, will lead to this object. It will be so by your Majesty, who has always desired the ap proach of the two States ; it will be so by Italy, who will be mindful of her engagements and of France:: No doubt the future may conceal unfore seen eventualities. In that case your Majesty has reserved to yourself full liberty of action, and France may repose upon your wisdom. Last year Mexico was but still a battle field, where everything was obscure save the military supe riority of France. Now an empire has succeeded, upon whose cradle are graven the names of Napo leon 111. and Charles V. May these names inspire it with those virtues which found States, and cause it to forget the passions by which it is torn ! Some grave questions have survived the civil wars. Let us hope that the enlightened and firm prince Mexico has placed at her head will be able to solve them by energetic and prompt resolution, and that France, .by the testimony of her soldiers soon re turned to their homes, will learn that he reigns over a people henceforth sheltered by the flag of order. Further, general opinion now knows that if your Government has persevered with so much resolution in. its difficult enterprise, it has not been to arouse the antagonism of races and to lay for ourselves distant foundations, but to draw the two worlds nearer by the pacific and prosperous exchanges of civilisation. " Sire,—Your Majesty has pronounced a grand sentence, which has vibrated throughout France and the world : The temple of war is about to be closed.' Peace will, therefore, henceforth be the policy of the future. You have at the same time decreed to our armies one of the most magnificent triumphs of which history has chronicled the remem brance. Soldiers of civilisation, of the right of nations, and of the legitimate interests of countries, these brave men have merited this glorious testi mony of their supreme chief by shedding their blood in the four quarters of the globe. Now let us unite to labour in concert to fecundate this last ing peace. Peace contains in her bosom inex haustible treasures ; the Imperial Government will cause them to spring forth. In her genius France possesses immense forces which multiply prosperity tenfold; she will place them at the service of the cause she represents. Then we shall see parties disappear, and the nation increase and prosper. France, richer with regard to institutions, intellect, commerce, and arts, will draw closer the bonds which unite her to the dynasty, and your son will see how to reign by the policy of concord and progress and by the love of the Sovereign for his people." STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, March 7.—We have again had a very disappointing yarn-market The sellers of shipping yarns were prepared to make reasonable concessions, and spinners generally were free sellers at the opening of the market. Buyers, however, at once reduced their offers ld. to 2d. per lb. below the prices they were prepared to have given on Friday last, and consequently very little business has been done. There are very large offers making, but at low prices—so low, indeed, that spinners treat them as absurd, and say that even were the war i n Ame rica as to caclose e d na t t h l e e y t f t e e e m l assured that onbetter terms than prices mi g ht ra ll y some which have been offered to-day. All counts of home-trade yarns are also lower to-day, and only a very limited demand has been done. The cloth-market has been further depressed since Fri day by the advices from India, where there has been a very large reduction in the value of all kinds of goods, and up to to-day there has been very little disposition shown on the part of buyers in the Man chester market to resume operations at any scales of prices. To-day, however, there seems to be a little more general inquiry, and there are some few offers making which show rather more disposition to do business than has been apparent for days past. But the offers made are at exceedingly low prices, and as goods are wanted for early delivery, while few manufacturers are prepared with stocks, the actual operations have been much limited. The quota tions of sellers show a general reduction this morn ing on all descriptions of cloths as compared with last Tuesday. Madapollams are quoted is. 3d. to ls. 9d. per piece lower; shirtings is. to ls. 6d. per piece lower (91b, 49-inch being quoted at 14s. 3d.) ; jacconots are 3d: to 6d. lower; T-cloths, 4d. to 6d., and long cloths 9d. to is. per mere lower. LEEDS, 7th.—There has been no new feature no ' ticable in the woollen cloth markets this morning. There was a moderate attendance of buyers, and the business dpne was about equal to what was done last Tuesday ; but on the whole the market was a little more cheerful. There is rather more doing by the large wholesale houses in the home trade, and the export trade is quite as good as we have lately had to report. There is no improvement, however, as to the Canadian or American trade. The manu facturers from the neighbouring towns and villages report themselves to be in moderate employment, some fabrics for the later season of the year having been commenced, in addition to summer goods. As to prices, those of wocl and the raw materials, along with those of yarns and cloths, keep steady. NOTTINGHAM, 7th.—There was a moderate atten dance at this Exchange-hall to-day, but the demand for lace yarns was limited, and prices remained without any material change. The inquiry for hosiery yarns was also dull at about late prices. Silks quite as dear. There was very little doing in brown nets, but the rates of last week were sup ported. ROCHDALE, 6th.—There was but a small attend ance of buyers in the flannel market to-day, but a fair amount of business was done at late prices. During the past week some large buyers have been here and bought a considerable amount of goods, which has imparted a little more animation to the trade that we lately had to report. In addition to this some of our manufacturers have obtained a Government contract for 10,000 pieces of 42 yards each, which will keep hands busy for some time. The Yorkshire goods trade keeps quiet, but prices are steady. The local wool trade remains much the same as last week—a quiet trade, but prices firm. DUBLIN, March 7.--Mr. Senior, the Poor Law Commissioner, was killed this afternoon on the Midland Great Western Railway. He was crossing the line, when the train came up. The wheels passed over his body, which was shockingly mutilated. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Phaeton, 34, screw frigate, Capt. G. Le G. Bowyer, whose arrival at Spithead from service in North America and the West Indies on Monday was announced in The Sun of yesterday, sailed again from Spithead yesterday afternoon for Sheerness, to dis mantle and pay out of commission. Previous to leaving Spithead the military and naval invalids who came home to England in her from the West Indies were transferred from her by a Government steamer to her Majesty's ship Victory and the shore. Among the officers and passengers who came home in the ship were Surg. Collins, R.N., Dr. McSwiney, R.N., Enns Roger and Barker, 2d Regiment, and the two Masters Hamley, sons of Col. Hamley, R.E. In consequence of• the severity of the weather, the iron screw steamship Achilles, 20, Capt. Edward W. Vansittart, could not leave Hamoaze on Monday. Port-Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at Devonport, paid a compli mentary visit on Monday to Admiral Edhem Pasha, iii command of the Turkish squadron now in Ply mouth Sound. MARKETS —This Day. MARK -LANE. The arrivals of English wheat up to our market to-day were very moderate. The condition of the produce being poor, good and fine samples were held at fully Monday's currency, and changed hands at that day's prices, not withstanding that the demand ruled far from active. For damp qualities the trade was heavy at late rates. With foreign wheat the market was but moderately supplied. For all descriptions the market was very quiet, but without leading to any quotable change in prices. Floating cargoes of grain wore in fair request at full quotations. The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. For all qualities the trade was dull, at about previous rates. Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. Oats were in moderate supply, and the demand for them ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Beans met a slow -sale, at late rates. Peas were firm • • in price. In flour there was a moderate demand, and prices ruled firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat.Barley.lialt. Oats. Flour. Englisk and Scotch 1,060 670 2,150 5,480 810 Irish — 3,020 Foreign brls.

A WALKING MATCH IN A SEWER.—A pedestrian match of a remarkable character came off at Brad ford,` on Saturday, between two men who were matched to walk, the one through the new main sewer, from its com mencement in Bridge-street to its termination at Bolton bridge, Manningham, and the other over its surface, one of the conditions being that the latter should, before reaching the goal, give his rival the advantage of a 10 minutes' halt. The length of course was one mile and a quarter. The vic tory was won by the man in the sewer, and whose name was Hamlin, who emerged from the outlet a little before the arrival of his competitor. SUGAR.—The total landings in Great Britain during the first two months of the present year were 65,000 tons, against 49,000 tons in 1864 ; the deliveries for home consumption 74,000 tons, as compared with 62,600 tons, showing a considerable income in so short a period ; and the stock on the Ist inst. was about 200,800 tons, against 134,000 tons at the same date last year. THE FIRST ACT OF THE SESSlON.—Yesterday the first act of the session was issued, to amend an act passed last year to amend the Civil Bill Courts Procedure Act. The amendments relate to six "clerical" errors in the recited act as to certain figures used in the statute. The present ses sion is declared to be the seventh of the eighteenth Parlia ment of the United Kingdom. It was " begun and holden" on the 81st May, 1859. * N I ,Z 7 Nfik Tort entuTat HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, CASTLE, March 7. The queen walked in the grounds this morning, accompanied by her Royal Highness the Princess Helena. Prince Leopold, attended by Mr. Buff, took a carriage airing. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince Albert Victor are expected to arrive at the Castle this afternoon. 4.- .. The Prince and Princess of Wales Yesterday morning his Royal Highness the Princ e of Wales, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Keppel, left Marlborough House and travelled by the Great Western Railway to the Taplow station, which is situated about a mile from Maidenhead, in Berkshire' His royal highness reached Taplow at half-past 11, and having mounted his horse rode off with his suite by way of Maidenhead to Shottesbrook Park, the residence of Capt. Robson, where a large and select company had assembled to greet the Prince. On his arrival his royal highness rode rapidly up the drive to Shottesbrook House, politely lifting his hat in acknow ledgment of the numerous loyal salutations which b e received from the knots of spectators near the house- The Prince was received by Capt. and Mrs. Robson and invited to partake of some refreshment before commencing the hunt. Among the company assem bled to meet his royal highness were Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Grenfell, Captain and Mrs. Hamilton, Dies. Denne, Mr. and Mrs. Scrocold, Capt. and Mrs. Gor don Watson, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, and Mr. and Mrs. Bullock Webster, while the field included Maj or- General the Hon. A. N. Hood, the noble master of the harriers, Mr. J. J. Pocock, and most of the laud ed gentry of that part of Berks. His royal highnes s made but a short stay in the mansion, and having re mounted opposite the house; the sportsmen all l hounds drew off from the park to one of Mr., Sharp (the agent's) fields, where a hare was soon found, and gave a very pretty chase, doubling round thro n g ° , the park in front of Shottesbrook House, and offering a good view of the Hunt to the ladies clus tered near the mansion, as the dogs and huntsmen crossed the green sward beneath the trees in n cry. Puss was, however, cunning, and quietly turned up in the park, half a mile in the rear of the field, the members of which had neared the rail way before the scent was lost, a bitterly cold wind blob'' ing at the time. The hare was then perceived to some boys, and, startled by their shouts, ran in a thicket almost in the mouths of the pack, but wa t ; eventually lost. Sport was then again found, 311 r this carried the field away in the face of the hi tte , wind towards Twyford. The Prince continued rode the field till about half-past 3 o'clock, and then rou ce to Windsor. The Prince of Wales and Fr ill 5 Albert Victor reached the Castle at a qua rter t° o'clock. We understand his Royal Highness the Prince °f Wales has accepted the invitation of the MetropolitO Board to open the main drainage works, and that Tuesd3Y April 4, is appointed for that important ceremony the THE LYCEUM THEATRE.—Her Royal Highness Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary 110u011re the performance at this theatre last evening.
