This afternoon the Earl of DERBY was granted an interview with the QUEEN at Windsor Castle. The result of that interview between the SOVE REIGN and the new Prime Minister that-is-to-be, there can be little doubt, will be the formation of a Cabinet composed of the "pick" of Lord DERBY'S two previous Administrations, associated with a few of the more important recruits recently gained to the Conservative Party, and of the young blood of what was until yesterday the Conservative Opposition. The select recruits hinted at may be very readily con jectured. The enumeration of them at the present moment would be perhaps more than simply indis creet and superfluous would be, perchance little less than invidious and precipitate —that is, while the coming► Cabinet is in actual process of formation. As to what is meant by the young blood of the Conservative Party, who is there that can require to be reminded of such men as Lord CRANBORNE and Sir STAFFORD NORTH COTE, men of eminence, who had won their spurs as Cabinet Ministers in posse long before Mr. GOSCHEN was ever heard of in Parliament, much less before his eccentric summersault, over the heads of so many far abler men than himself, landed him in that seat in the late Administration— which was set apart for his especial gratification as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. As to the foremost chiefs of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons, such statesmen and administra tors as Mr. DISRAELI, as Sir BI_TLIVER LYTTON, and as Lord STANLEY, their assumption of office, in :the highest places at the disposal of Lord DERBY in his discriminating distribution of those highest places among his Ministerial colleagues, is simply a matter-of-course, and in a few hours more will have become simply a matter-of fact. One probability in regard to this distribution of administrative responsibili ties by Lord DERBY among his colleagues, is already foreseen, and foreseen with satisfaction— that exceeding probability being the award of The Foreign Secretaryship to Lord STANLEY—whether coupled with his transference to the House of Peers, is not so clearly indicated. The Earlof MAL3IESRURY, in this case, will, in all likelihood, thereupon suc ceed Lord COWLEY as Ambassadorat Paris. Sir Frrz- ROY KELLY, as Attorney-General in Lord DERBY'S last Government, has a professional claim, by right of official etiquette and of official precedent, to his advancement to the woolsack. Otherwise, could but Sir FITZROY be advanced to the bench oppor tunely as Lord Chief Baron, or what not—the Chancellor by choice, the Chancellor by all the claims of popular genius and of forensic reputa tion would inevitably be Sir HUGH CAIRNS. Whether —to the relegating to someless responsible post of Sir STAFFORD NoRTIICOTE--Mr. DISRAELI will resume his position as Chancellor of the Exchequer? Whether Sir BL'LWER LYTTON will return to the Colonies ? Who is to be the new Home Secretary ? Who the new Indian Secretary? Who the War Secretary ? To say nothing of such mere stately and ornamental offices, unencumbered with de partments, as President of the Council and Privy Seal ? These are precisely the very problems of Ministerial or administrative arrangement upon which Lord DERBY is at this moment deliberating, with a view to the attain ment of the most satisfactory result in any way practi cable under the circumstances. At a time of prepara: tion and deliberation such as this, the indulgence of any mere speculative guesses would be simply frivolous. All we have to do now is to wait— certain that, while we are thus:waiting, our patience cannot long be tested or our curiosity tantalised. At length the weightyquestion which has agitated political circles during the past ten days has been answered. Her MAJESTY has accepted the resigna tion of Earl RUSSELL and his colleagues, and has sent for Lord DERBY, upon whom now devolves the task of forming an Administration. If any one has leisure, in the inevitable excitement attending a Ministerial crisis, to go back to the memories of 1859, they will find an instance of retributive justice in Lord RUSSELL'S expulsion from office on a Reform Bill. However, few will trouble them selves about queStions of abstract political morality just now. Le roi est wort vive e roi will be the cry, and any regrets over the fall of the departing Cabinet will be lost in the crowd of eager anticipations and speculations as to the division of offices and the chances of a durable Con servative Administration. The individual Minister who will carry most of the popular sympathies with him i s probably Mr. GLADSTONE. lie has gone through a trying and laborious session, and has had to combat not only the open opposition which he had reason to expect from his enemies, but the covert antago_ oism, which he had no right to look for, from his friends and supporters. The resignation of Ministers, which was, under the circum stances, the most straightforward and honourable course they could adopt, was no doubt mainly due to the influence of Mr. GLADSTONE. He had de clared plainly that he considered the main principles of the Bill a Government question, and had said prior to the division of the other night that the point at issue involved one of the vital character istics of the measure. The difficulty, moreover, was not merely an adverse majority on a particular clause, but th e weakness of the Ministry in the s.ller MAJESTY, according to House of explanationscoronf last thought the the revers e wh.eevhening, very reasonably merely on a questionthe Ministry had suf positio,of detail they suf ered being might reconsider th e i r and she theref ore declined to accept the reaiguatiou of the Cabinet i until she had had the opportunity of conferring with its chief. After an interview with Earl RUSSELL and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, she under stood the situation, and perceived that however inconvenient a change of Administration would be, it would be less detrimental to the public interests than a Ministry on sufferance. She, therefore, agreed reluctantly to accept the resignations ten dered to her. Mr. GLADSTONE, in a speech which was worthy of himself and of the occasion, said, after explaining the reasons which led the Govern ment so strongly to oppose the rating franchise, that this was not the whole of their diffi culty. They had to consider, he said, the previous history of the bill, and the pledges which they had given deliberately and advisedly. " In my opinion," added the right hon. gentleman, " the pledge on the part of a Government to stand or fall by a particular measure is a pledge that should be rarely given. It is the last weapon in the armoury of a Government; it should not lightly be taken down from the wall. But if it is taken down it should not lightly be replaced until it has served the purpose that it was intended to serve." Upon this principle Mr. GLADSTONE has acted, and as he believed it to be the duty of the Government to make the Reform Bill their first and principal object, the pledges about which he has been often ridiculed were neither extravagant nor out of place. Earl RUSSELL, in the Upper House, did not bear his reverses with quite so much dignity as his lieu tenant, and his personal attack upon Lord Derby brought up the Conservative leader in reply. The Earl of DERBY has something more than speech-making before him, and must now address himself to the arduous and responsible task of constructing a Cabinet. Rumour, already busy with names and offices, suggests that he will probably include in his staff some of those gentlemen not belonging to his immediate supporters who have acted with the Opposition during this session. We hope, however, that Lord DERBY will require something more from his coadjutors than a mere antagonism to Reform. The question still lies unsettled, and whoever hopes to retain office or to secure the confidence of the country must deal with it boldly and decisively. It is like a stumbling block in the way, which must be removed before much progress can be made. If he can bring into his Administration some gentlemen not strictly pledged to Conservatism, it will be all the better for him self and for the country. The aspect of the Continent is certainly threatening, and the guid ance of the Foreign-office will need a wary pilot. We hope that whoever may accept the post will not come to it with a predetermined course of inaction and hesitation. There is no need to fulfil the threats of the Liberals by involving the country in war, but England should assume a firm and dignified attitude, commanding respect and not exciting derision. Earl RUSSELL'S foreign policy has been one of his weakest points, and the country will watch jealously the conduct of his successor. At any rate, we cannot deny that Whigs, Liberals, and Radicals have had a fair chance, and a prolonged tenure of office. A trial of the cold shade of opposition may recruit their energies and refresh their memories, while the country is bound, in accordance with constitutional traditions, to give the new Administration—what we are always anxious to accord to statesmen of every party—a fair and impartial trial. We have now the official account of the battle of Custozza from the Italian head-quarters, and al though they try hard to make the best of it, it is but a sorry affair after all. After declaring that the Royal troops performed prodigies of valour, it is admitted that their losses were considerable, and that several were seriously wounded among the leaders, and that General VILLAREY was killed. The Moniteur of yesterday confirms the news of the Italian army under King VICTOR EMMANUEL being forced to recross the Mincio, but adds that General CIALDINI has not yet crossed the Po. We doubt, however, that he will shortly be com pelled to do so. After all the parade which they made it must be very mortifying to the Italians thus to commence their campaign by chronicling a defeat. At all events, the Austrians have done something at last, and it is a satisfaction thus to find their troops in such excellent order and animated by so bold a spirit. The idea of this initiatory triumph must certainly inspire the army of Marshal BENEDEK with confidence and incite them on to fresh exertions. Austria was at great disadvantage at the outset of this war with the Italians and the Prussians against her; but we may hope that this portentous event of the battle of Custozza will turn the tide of fortune in their favour, and that they may go on in the way they have begun. Now that the Italians have received this decided check, the best plan for the Austrians to adopt will be to push on and follow up their advan tage before the enemy can recover themselves ; but it would really seem as if they have had laid down an imperative rule for themselves as to the tardiness of their proceedings. We know nothing as yet of the movements of Marshal BENEDEK, nor of the course which he intends to pur sue, but it certainly appears to us as if he ought to be on the alert, and effecting some object to counter act the many successes the Prussians have met with. As for the Hanoverian corps it is again positively stated that it is completely surrounded, and that the attempts made by some of the detachments to escape have been repulsed. It is said that the King of HANOVER has asked for 24 hours to determine upon the conditions upon which his army are to capitulate. This has been agreed to, although it is supposed the request has been made in order to take the chance of assistance from the Bavarian army. It is not believed in Berlin that this hope will be fulfilled. It is now supposed that Bremen will withdraw its representative from the Federal Diet and accept the Prussian alliance. On the other hand, the Minister of Baden at the Court of Berlin has been recalled, and the Grand Duke will join his forces to the Federal army corps. An official despatch has been received which an nounces the engagement between the Austrians and the Italian Volunteers; in this struggle the Austrians were repulsed, and several were killed and wounded. The Volunteers had no losses, which, of course, was considered a great triumph on their part. Alto gether there does not seem so much chance of an engagement taking place between the Austrians and Prussians so speedily as was thought probable a day or two ago . B oth parties seem resting on their oars, as it we re , b ut , with what object who can divine? It is possible, indeed, that even now an attempt may be made to patch up matters, but we consider it highly improbable that such will be the case. Of cours e, it would be most advantageous to many interests if any settlement be arrived at which pre vents the loss of life, while at the same time it. serves the general welfare of Europe. But, with Count BISMARCK at the head of affairs in Prussia, we see no prospect of ,a satisfactory compromise bein g made. The Emperor of AUSTRIA is greatly to blame for the course which he has pursued in respect to "Venetia. liad lie yielded to the representation of his best advisers, and made the sacrifice, he would by this time be in a very diffe rent position, whether he was in peace or at war with his neighbours. The recent changes in Ger many will not complicate matters more than they have been for years past. The question of the D uchies will be the great stumbling-block in the way of reconciliation, and it is very unlikely that any power but that of the sword will settle it. If, however, Prussia gain the day in this contest now before us, we shall not consider the decision to be a final one, for Austria will never again consent to be the tool of Berlin ; but we may hope that, if the chalices of war go against Prussia, she will desist from those efforts to aggrandise her territory which have caused so much disaster to all parties. It will be well for the interests of the nations of Europe collectively if the Prussian army meet with a decided defeat, and then the tactics of the Government of Berlin must alter for the better . CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Evening. The Moniteur gives in its non-official part with out observation a sketch of the battle between the Austrians and Italians from the telegraphic de spatches. It adds that General Cialdini had not Yet crossed the Po. According to a private despatch from Gotha, the Hanoverian army had consented to a capitulation. The information of the Siecle is not in accordance with that of the Moniteur. The former journal says that Cialdini bas crossed the Po. It adds, " Austria and her defenders declare openly that the war has not a local object. The victory of Benedek will be the victory of reaction in Europe. That is the reason why in the struggle which Italy has com menced so valiantly the wishes of the friends of revolution accompany the intrepid soldiers of Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi. The Siec&, in reviewing the news of the above battle, says :--ci The Austrian despatches render homage to the valour of the soldiers of Italy. The real object of the battle undertaken by the King's army was to give Cialdini the means of passing the Po to penetrate into Venetia, whilst Victor Em manuel himself occupied the grand army under Verona. This object is attained. Cialdini, with 70,000 to 80,000 men, crossed the river without re sistance. To-morrow we shall know the effect which this beautiful and intrepid manoeuvre has had upon the Austrians. Last night we received a despatch stating that the army of Victor Emmanuel had recrossed the Mincio ; but this news requires confirmation. It is from an Austrian source." The Europe, of Frankfort, repeats its statements in regard to dangerous projects entertained by Russia. It not only affirms confidently that the Czar is making formidable armaments along the frontiers of Silesia and Roumania, but it mentions a large concentration of troops in the Crimea. Upon this statement the Opinion Nationale says : " France and England would do well to redouble their vigilance, and to hold themselves in readiness to renew their alliance of 1854-SG. Their interests are precisely the same in the East, in spite of cer tain rivalry of influence, because they arise out of the principle that no great Power can be allowed to seize any portion whatever of the Ottoman Empire. We feel greatly indebted to the Europe for calling public attention to these grave eventualities." The Empress, accompanied by the Prince Imperial, made a minute inspection of the Bank of France on Saturday. The most curious stringent precautions arc taken there for the security of the valuables in the cellars. The Empress inquired for Count Pillet- Will and M. Mallet, Directors, and in the name of the Emperor presented to the former the cross of War of the Legion of Honour, and to the latter the cross of a Knight, in requital of good and honourable services. M. Rouland, the governor, requested her Majesty to accept one of the four large gold medals, struck in 1809, after the definitive organisation of the Bank by Napo leon the First, there not having been time, as M. Rouland said, to finish one in commemoration of the visit of her Majesty. The Empress ac knowledged the present in very grateful and ap propriate terms. Her Majesty was accompanied by the Countess de Rayneval and the Countess de la Poeze, Ladies of the Palace, and Count Cosse Bressac, one of her Chamberlains. One frequently hears of ovations to distinguished individuals, but it is not often that ovations are manifested to individuals suspected of atrocious crimes. A Brest paper, however, says that when Tessier, Pierre, and Leclerc visited the theatre, which they did on the evening of their acquittal on the charge of murder and piracy, the public gave them an ovation. Pierre, the mulatto, attracted particular attention, " he was so expansive in his manifestations of joy that he imparted enjoy ment to all present." The maximum heat to-day was about the same as yesterday, viz., 30 deg. Reaumur. It is, I believe, now arranged that the Empero r will leave Paris for Vichy in the course of this week, unless any very important event connected with the war should render it desirable for him to remain longer in Paris. As I was able to inform you some days ago, the contemplated tour in the provinces will be of much shorter duration than was at first intended. The Empress and the young Imperial Prince will not leave Paris for the present. Some of the Paris papers allude to a report that General Prim had arrived in Catalonia, and that two regiments had joined him in revolt. Joseph Philippe, the man suspected of murder ing so many women, is now on his trial before the Court of Assize of the Seine. The police, it is said, suspect the prisoner of having murdered and robbed no less than 15 women, but the indictments on which he is tried are limited to the alleged murder of three women and a child, viz., Julie Robart, Flore Theresa Mage, her son, Henri Mage, and Marie Victor Bodeux. He is also charged with at tempting to murder Louise Alme Labouche, widow Midy. The evidence goes to prove that the prisoner has for years been in the habit of visiting women of bad character, whom he robbed and murdered. His age is 34. He has been a soldier, but latterly he has been employed in a shop. While in the service he was condemned to a year's imprisonment for robbery, and he then went with his regiment to Africa. On. the Bth of January, 1860, he ac costed the deceased girl Bodeux in the Rue Dauphine, and went to her lodging. The next morning she was found with her throat cut, and a razor was lying by her side. About 104 francs and some linen and other property were taken from her drawers. A witness identified the prisoner as the man who was seen to go out of the house. Three days afterwards he attempted to murder a lady who lived in the Rue d'Erfarth, named Midy. In this case the prisoner went to the house of Mrs. Midy under the pretence that he had been sent there for a tool which had been left by a man named Dangle terre, and he attempted to strangle her. She, how - ever, gave the alarm in time, but the prisoner escaped. Before the corpse of the girl, Victor Bo veux, the prisoner confessed that he had murdered her. It was on the 15th of April, 1864, that the deceased Julie Robart, aged 36, who lived in the Rue Saint Joseph, was murdered. Some of her property was found at the prisoner's lodgings. The murder of the woman Maye took place in Novem ber, 1865. Her murdered infant was found by her side. In the case of Louise Alme Labouche, widow Midy, the evidence goes to 'prove that he inflicted very severe injuries upon her. The evidence given on the first day (yesterday) was chiefly confined to this alleged attempted murder and robbery. She is sufficiently recovered to make a statement upon the subject. When the prisoner tried to strangle her she bit his hand, and he has still marks of the wound. Several articles, identified as having be longed to the deceased woman, were found at the prisoner's lodging, and some portions of his own dress bad been st a i ned with blood, and evident attempts had been made to wash out the stains. Although the prisoner partially confessed one of the murders, it seems th at his general defence will re solve itself into the a t tempt to prove an alibi. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE GREAT BATTLE OF CUSTOZZA. FLORENCE, June 26th, Evening. The Florence journals publish the following de tails of the battle fought on the 24th inst. : The Austrian forces numbered 60,000 men, with a considerable number of artillery. The Italian cavalry regiments did not abandon their position, nor were they overcome until after the enemy had received heavy reinforcements. Towards nightfall the Italians and Austrians retired from their respective positions. The division under Prince Humbert was attacked a little distance from Villafranca by two regiments of Hussars. Ile ordered a battalion of infantry to form square, remaining himself in their midst, and repulsed the charge of the Hussars. Prince Amadeus received a wound in the chest while leading a bri gade of Grenadiers. The Piannelli division took prisoners an entire battalion of Austrian Chas seurs ; the Gouone division took the posi tion of Custozza and part of Monte Torre by assault, and held them till night, notwith standing the onslaughts made by the enemy with greatly superior forces. Cuzia's division took pos vssion of another part of Monte Torre and Mount Croce, and held them till evening ; the Sirtori division took Santa Lucia, and also remained in possession until the evening ; the first army corps reserve on the heights to the left of Valeggio held in check an overwhelming number of Austrians, before which General Cerale had been forced to retire. Bixio's division and the cavalry of the line protected the retreat of the army which was effected in good order. The Italian cavalry had several engagements with the Austrians who suffered heavy losses, and the 3d Army Corps made about 1000 prisoners. The Italian losses are great, but those of the enemy are believed to be still more considerable. General Villarey was killed, and Generals Du rando, Cerale, and Gozzani wounded, while charg ing at the head of their men. The troops are in excellent spirits, and anxious to renew the contest. PRAGUE, JURE 26. The Prussians have destroyed the railway bridge between Werdan and Grossnitz. At Altenburg the people offered resistance to the Prussians. The King of Saxony left Prague to-day.

Prussia has again offered to the King of Hanover an alliance, with a guarantee for his possession of the throne, on the basis of Federal Reform, and on condition of his capitulating with the honours of war. It is hoped here that the capitulation will take place to-day. The first Prussian army corps, under Prince Frederick Charles, continues to ad vance into Bohemia without meeting any serious resistance. A flying corps, commanded by Stolberg, lost eight men in an engagement near Ausschwitz. GOTTINGEN, June 24. King George, the day before yesterday, issued the following proclamation to the Hanoverian people : " Head-quarters, Gottingen, June, 22, 1866. " To my Hanoverians, " I leave ow native country at the head of my army, which has voluntarily and rapidly ral lied round its flag at my summons, prepared for battle and animated with courageous readiness. I take this step to defend the cause of assaulted right, and to fight in conjunction with faithful allies, with all the greater energy and the assist ance of the Almighty, for the most precious pos sessions of the fatherland. " The cause of justice is God's cause ; His blessing upon it cannot fail. " Upwards of half a century ago the famous men of the Anglo-German legion rushed to the field to fight in distant lands for the cause of the country oppressed by enemies, and then regained their homes crowned with glory and everlasting renown. So also it is my firm and joyful conviction that we, worthy sons of those fathers, shall return victorious to the paternal soil. " Inspired by this hope I depart in tranquil courage with my dear son, the Crown Prince, and my valiant army. Hanoverians, your prayers and blessings will accompany me. If the Almighty will, we shall soon meet again. " GEORGE REX." Advices just received from Nordhausen say : g 4 The Hanoverian army, hard pressed by General von Manteuffel, is in retreat, and was concentrated last night at Heiligenstadt. The King and the Crown Prince, with the military chest (reported to contain some three million dollars), and having with them six rifled guns, were in Heiligenstadt yesterday. Owing to the haste with which they quitted the capital the men are very imperfectly equipped. Each man is said to have only six cartridges. Their patrols allow no one to leave the town. Upon the entry of the troops a printed pro clamation was distributed by General von Arnts child, the commanding officer, addressed " To the inhabitants of the Prussian province of Saxony." It contained the following passage If I enter your country at the head of the Hanoverian troops, you must not think we come as enemies. I must, however, ask of you obedience to military force in supplying the demands rendered necessary by war. The name of Hanoverians gua rantees the discipline of my troops. They demand to be allowed peaceful march through your country, and will only act as enemies if compelled. Fulfil our requests, and do not make our duty more painful by obliging us to take harsh measures." FRANCE.

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND. A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held on Saturday at Aberdeen—Mr. J. Duncan in the chair. The CIIAIR3IAN stated that the object of the meet ing was to approve a bill for the amalgamation of the Great North of Scotland Railway with its vari ous branches, and to lease the Deeside Railway. The contributions of the company to the Alford Valley, the Aberdeen and Turriff, the Banff, Mac duff, and Turriff Extension, the Keith and Duff town, and the Strathspey Railways amounted to £363,231, and by the public to £133,480. As regarded the Formartin and Buchan it was proposed to guarantee the original shares held by the public 60 per cent. of the gross receipts of the Formartin and Buchan line proper, after the payment of the dividend on the 5 per cent. Formartin and Buchan preference shares as follows :—For the half-year ending Aug. 31, 1867, 11 per cent. ; ditto ending Aug. 31, 1868, 2 per cent.; ending Aug. 31, 1869, 21 per cent., and in the year ending Aug. 31, 1870, and thereafter in perpetuity 3 per cent., with the right of participat ing with the original shares of the company in any dividend beyond 3 per cent. The share capital of the amalgamated company would amount to £2,464,881, including £823,571 ordinary capital. The bill also proposed to authorise a lease of the Deeside line to the Great North of Scotland Com pany. It was high time that the consolidation of the branch lines should take effect. The greater portion of the money required for the construction of those branches had been provided by the funds, capital, and credit of the Great North of Scotland Company. He explained the advantages of the bill, and that it would consolidate the interests of the company. A formal resolution approving the bill was adopted. NORTH BRITISH. Wharncliffe meetings of this company were held in Edinburgh on Saturday and Monday, to con sider various bills now before Parliament. At the first meeting Mr. Hodgson, chairman, presided, and moved approval of the Taybridge Bill and Wishaw Branches Bill. In regard to the former, he said it was the directors' intention to renew the opposition to the Caledonian Bill for amalgamation with the Scottish North-Eastern in the House of Lords. It was true that they were left at liberty to construct a competing coast line, but with the present line only paying 21 per cent. there was cer tainly very little inducement for them to do so, especially as the Caledonian would in the interven ing years be strengthening themselves iu the dis trict. The Wishaw Branches Bill had been limited to a line from Morningside to Coatbridge, which the Caledonian chairman had called a small con cession, but which they thought an important one, giving them access from that mineral field to Glas gow and the Clyde. The meeting was adjourned till the 4th of July, to consider the Bridge of Allan Bill should it pass. At the second meeting, which was held to con sider a bill to alter the terms of the lease of the Bathga,te Railway, Mr. 11. Dunlop, vice-chairman, presided. The bill proposed to increase the rent payable from 4 per cent. to 5, rising to 51, super seding right to half profits, and settling various questions under arbitration. Mr. DUNLOP said that the board were divided in opinion on the bill. The Chairman was in favour of it, but he was not, and if necessary he would use the proxies intrusted to the directors against it. After a long and irregular discussion, a poll was taken, but three-fourths of the stock personally re presented at the meeting not being in favour of the bill, it could not receive approval, and the bill was accordingly rejected without resort to proxies. The same day a meeting of the Bathgate Com pany was held, at which the bill was unanimously approved. BELFAST CENTRAL. A special general meeting of the proprietors was held yesterday at the offices, Westminster-cham bers, Victoria-street; Mr. Durham in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the only business which they had to transact was the consideration of a bill to empower the Belfast Central Company and the cor poration of Belfast to make a new street and to alter and improve certain streets in the borough of Bel fast. That bill was important to the company, and he moved its adoption. The resolution was adopted, and the meeting se parated. DAGENHAM DOCK. A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held on Monday, at the office, Great St. Helen's, Mr. Mackean in the chair, to consider a bill for in corporating the Dagenham Dock Railway Com pany, and for authorising them to make and main tain railways from the Dagenham (Thames) Dock to the Great Eastern Railway, and the London,Til bury, and Southend Railway, and from the North Kent Railway at Erith, to the river Thames near Crossness-point, with piers ; and to provide and run steam and other vessels in connection with the rail ways ; and for authorising arrangements between the company and other companies. Mr. TooaooD, the solicitor, read the heads of the bill. The capital was to be £150,000, subscribed in three equal portions by the Dagenham Dock Company, the Great Eastern Railway Company, and the South-Eastern Company. Mr. GILES objected to the clauses which pre vented the dock company selling or transferring their shares, and also to the power of issuing pre ference shares. Mr. TOOGOOD said it was a condition put in by Lord Redesdale ; but he thought his lordship, on explanation, would waive the point. The CHAIRMAN said if possible they would have the clauses altered to meet those objections. He then moved that the bill be approved, subject to such alterations as the directors might deem neces sary or Parliament might require. The motion was carried unanimously. RAILWAY BILLS. In Lord Redesdale's committee, House of Lords, yesterday, the following bills were passed :—The Shrewsbury and North Wales (deviations, &c.) ; the North British (St. Margaret's diversion), to raise £40,000 by shares and £13,000 by loan; the North British and Leadburn, Linton, and Dolphinton (amalgamation) ; the North British (Stirling branches), to raise £400,000 by shares and £133,300 by loan ; the North British (Coatbridge branches), to raise £140,000 by shares and £46,600 by loan ; the Longton, Adderley- green, and Bucknall, to raise £60,000 by shares and £20,000 by loan; the Stour bridge and the Great Northern (Barnet branch aban donment). In room D the Midland (Settle to Carlisle) and the Caledonian (Greenock and Gourock extension) were heard and adjourned. In the Standing Orders Committee the Langharne and the Wycombe Bills were passed.

THE MARRIAGE OF PRINCESS MARY.—Yesterday the inhabitants of Kew were entertained at dinner on the Green by the Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, in commemoration of the recent marriage in Kew Church of her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cambridge with the Prince of Teck. During the dinner the band at tached to the V Division of Police played a selection of music. In the evening a quadrille band was provided, and dancing took place. Ethnological Society. Yesterday evening the ordinary fortnightly meet ing of this society was held in their rooms, in St. Martin's-place--Mr. John Crawfurd in the chair. There were exhibited several well finished bronze celts from Italy, and a long bronze sword found at Wroxeter. Some of the celts were stated to have been found in Pompeii, but Sir John Lubbock threw doubt on the statement. A paper on " Remarkable Archaeological Disco veries in Ireland," by Mr. Alfred Conwell, was read. It consisted of an account of his recent examination of 31 partially destroyed sepulchral cairns on the Loughcrew hills, in the county of Meath, about two miles distant from the town of Oldcastle. These re mains, which have hitherto escaped notice, were said to surpass in magnitude, number, and quaint orna mentation anything of the kind yet discovered in Western Europe. The internal arrangement of the cairns is for the most part cruciform, the shaft re presenting the entrance passage, and termination of the arms the small cists, from four to five feet square, arranged round the central chamber, roofed by overlapping flags, and the whole being sur mounted by a pyramid of loose stones. In the three larger cairns the slabs measured from six to 12 feet. The most common style of sculpturing on the in scribed chamber stones was punched work that had been executed with metallic tools. Though there are upwards of 100 of them, the decorations do not cor respond on any, and on the stones recently exposed the cutting is quite sharp and distinct. No conjec ture was offered as to the date of these cairns. Many of the figures are cut in circles with rays in imita tion of the sun. So far as the exploration has gone, Mr. Conwell has laid bare 1,393 separate devices. Some remarkable stone basins or urns were also found, one of which is sft. 9in. long, and at its broadest part 3ft. lin. It had been tooled and picked with great care, and a raised rim was all round the upper part. Among the numerous articles found in the cairns were round stone balls of various colours, measuring from tin. to 3in, in diameter, some of them still polished ; a finely polished oval ornament of jet, a white flint arrow-head, portions of a neck lace, a number of sea-shells, seven specimens of iron (among which a punch with a chisel-shaped point), and a leg of a compass. There were also found a number of bronze ornaments, beads of glass and am ber, some rude pottery, consisting of broken urns, and a unique collection of worked bone implements amounting to upwards of 4,800. Of human re mains there were found several dozen of teeth, six portions of jaws, 48 portions of skulls, but not one in an entire state. Altogether upwards of 2,000 fragments of human bones were discovered, nearly all of them charred and mixed with charcoal. Mr. Conwell has not yet completed his researches, but as far as he has gone his discoveries are among the most startling and comprehensive of any made in modern times. In the discussion of the paper Sir John Lubbock, Mr. Prideaux, Mr. Crawfurd, and Mr. Luke Burke took part. Sir J. LUBBOCK then read a paper "On the Ancient Manufacture of Stone Implements at Fres signy," in France, and he exhibited a number of large implements made from the flint peculiar to that neighbourhood. They are found near the sur face in such great quantities that Sir J. Lubbock conceives that place must have been an extensive manufactory of such implements, and among the specimens he exhibited were some left half finished, owing to defects in the stone, and some lumps that had served as nuclei for their manufacture. With out assigning any period to the manufacture of these implements, he conceived, from the absence of any remains of metal, that they were made before either bronze or iron was known. In the discussion that followed Mr. Crawfurd and Mr. Prideaux took part, on the question whether bronze or iron was first manufactured into imple ments. Mr. CRAWFURD, on adjourning the meeting, said that would not be the last, as originally intended' and that at a supplemental meeting on the 10th of July several interesting papers would be read' among which would be a paper by Mr. Baker on a tribe of negroes in Abyssinia who possess the re• markable peculiarity for negroes of being indua' trio us. FELICIA'S DOWRY. By Mrs. Fitzmaurice Okedell' 3 vols.—The authoress of this novel is a new candidate for public approval, and we venture to predict succe ss ' 'Fehcia's Dowry' is the work of a highly cultivated inio d. The characters are well drawn, the language goo d, the itr terest fully sustained, and the moral of the story excelleilt• But the most graphic parts of the book are those in wLiich the reader is introduced into aristocratic circles. Thef!, the authoress is evidently quite at home, a fact n ot to wondered at when we tell our readers that the writer 0' 'Felicia's Dowry' is nearly related to the noble translator of Homer, and connected by marriage with the representr tive of another old English earldom."—The Messenger. DEATH OF Mn. JERWOOD.—The poorer row bars of the dramatic profession have lost a friend by th a f death of Mr. T. J. Jerwood, of Ely-place. He was one ° the promoters and an active co-operator in the establi6l3- ment of the Royal Dramatic College, in which he held the post of treasurer until the time of his death.
