An interesting meeting was held at Willis's Rooms yesterday afternoon, the Archbishop of YORK presiding. Its object was to form a society or fund for the " systematic exploration of Pales tine." Many influential persons were present, and the proceedings will well repay perusal. The Chairman explained the purport of the affair in a clear and comprehensible form, and gave an attrac tive account of the affair to those not well acquainted with its details. His Grace remarked that many persons interested in science and art did not think that our knowledge of Palestine was as full as it ought to be. This is very true, certainly, and it is a matter of regret that such should be the case, for all appertaining to that locality has claims on our regard, our reverence, and our attention. All that relates to the past history of the Holy Land in every branch of inquiry almost has yet to be carried out. For instance, we may mention that " explo ration by means of excavation" has rarely been practised, although it is certain that many monu ments of interest and importance will be found under the sacred city. It is therefore proposed that a society should be fortaed, and an admirable law is laid down among its fundamental principles, namely, that there should be no controversy. The object is to apply the rule of science in " an inductive inquiry as to the archaeological, topographical, and geological history of the Holy Land." It must be admitted that this is the right way of viewing the subject, and that this praiseworthy undertaking has been inaugurated in a fitting form. Nothing of any consequence can be done if arguments of a contro versial style are suffered to take place, and great credit is due to those who have thus made so wise an arrangement. It may be added that all the succeeding plans are likewise most efficient and excellent, and promise fairly for the success of the affair. The QUEEN has consented to become the patron of the society, and many eminent names have already been placed on the list of sup porters. The Archbishop concluded his interesting discourse with the following eloquent passage—" It was said to the Father of Israel, ' Walk through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth - of it, for I will give it unto thee,' and so it could be said to us, it is given unto thee. It was the land of our hopes, and we should look upon it with as much patriotism as we look upon old England, and endeavour by a new crusade to rescue it from oblivion and ignorance." The Bishop of LONDON moved the first resolution, which was to the effect that a fund be formed for the purpose of promoting the exploration of the Holy Land. He said that the Church of England was in favour of the exten sion of education, and they must certainly support this undertaking, which would tend to throw much light upon Bible History. Mr. LAYARD spoke at some length, and of course his is an authority which cannot be gainsaid on such matters. He com menced by stating a singular thing, which was that there was no place in the world of which we knew so little respecting its archaeology and the manners and customs o f the peoples, as that land which was so nearly connected with our religion. Now, said the learned gentleman, no one is likely to declare that su ch a study as that proposed to be prosecuted i s unin teresting and unprofitable. Besides many other advantages that will accrue from these researches, there will be the crowning benefit of throwing a light upon the connecting link which we wanted between the art of Egypt and the art of Assyria. Mr. LAYARD illustrated his meaning in a very im pressive manner, by stating that some years ago very little was known of Assyria and its people, and indeed the site of its city was hardly known. Until the excavations which took place twelve years ago there was vague rumours afloat, but no certain or reliable knowledge to take hold of. The change that has taken place is marvellous indeed, and may well justify the most sanguine expectations that are entertained of these fresh explorations now under discussion. Through the reading of inscriptions they have restored the list of kings, and also have been enabled to ascertain how the people dressed, and other very interesting particulars. It cannot be promised, Mr. LAYARD said, that we shall give so much extensive information respecting the coun tries east of the Jordan as we did in Assyria, because the Jews have never represented the human form in graven images, so we could not gain a knowledge of the inhabitants of Palestine as effectually as we did of those of Assyria. Still much may be done, and it is not to our credit that so able a iildge as Mr. LAYARD should say at such a meeting that we were never first in such discoveries. The French are celebrated for exploring expeditions, " but somehow it did not seem to suit the genius of the English people or the pockets of the Government to assist in these matters. Surely it is time that the good sense and right feeling of our community puts an end to this state of apathy, and that those who are able should be willing to assist in an enterprise which, among all Christian nations, should be honoured and respected. A tenfold deeper interest must attach itself to this undertaking than any which waits upon and centres in a mere geographi cal exploit or scientific discovery, as was well observed in ' Tancred.' " Are we to believe that no peculiar and special interest centres in such a land, that Palestine is like Normandy or Yorkshire, or even Attica or Rome ? Rightly regarded this proposed exploration of the Holy Land deserves support and encouragement, and it should not be said that our material feelings allow the promptings of a higher influence and better spirit to be lected. There could scarcely be a more appropriate occa sion on which to celebrate the establishment of metropolitan drinking fountains than the present Midsummer season. Its glowing sunlight, delightful under green leaves or by the fresh sea breezes, grows oppressive and exhausting to the weary toiler as he drags himself along the hot dusty pavements of the great city, where luxuries are so plentiful and neces saries so dear. Good pure water is certainly to be ranked among the very first of those necessaries, and the evils that its absence occasions are sure and rapid in their course. Medical science has pro nounced bad water to be more actively injurious to the human frame than bad air; but notwithstand ing the excellent arrangements for supplying the metropolis with water, there are very many of the poorer quarters where the poverty of the neighbour hood, the neglect of the landlords, or the bad con struction of the houses, make it still scarce and difficult to obtain. The pollution of our rivers has converted many a fine health-giving stream into a source of poison, as when we hear of a bottle of paraffin being extracted from one of our midland rivers ; but Parliament has taken up that part of the question with some interest. It is manifestly the duty of the Legislature to guard against any such abuse of our natural blessings, and there is no fear that commercial enterprise will fail to supply any quarter of our towns and cities with this great requisite. But there still remains a great work to do, which can only be done by voluntary effort, and this work is being done through the agency of the Free Drinking Fountain Association. Its objects are so simple that its benefits are likely to be passed over amongmany more urgent and more conspicuous claims upon our benevolence, but it is a very practi cal good nevertheless. It used to be a favourite work of public charity in old days to build wells and fountains by the wayside for the thirsty traveller, and when the accommodation by road and rail was not quite what it is now it was a very useful kind ness. The reader of " Marmion" will remember the introduction of SYBIL GREY'S Cross and Well in the last battle scene, and in many of the close conflicts of those days such aid was very welcome. We do not have deadly battles on the quiet hillside now, nor single combats by the highway ; but, nevertheless, a draught of pure cold water is no un welcome gift in the hot summer days. The best evidence of the practical service done by these fountains and the extent of the want supplied is the fact that the water is daily partaken of by 300,000 persons. The fountains now number 130, whereas six years ago, when the Association began its labours, there was not one, and the Committee have sufficient humanity to spare for the poor thirsty brutes who are driven along the streets without a chance of refreshment. They have put many large troughs for dogs and for cattle about the streets, and the number of these requires to be greatly enlarged. The fountains themselves must be increased in number, and the Committee go so far as to say that 200 more would not fully supply the need. This estimate, we suppose, is intended to include the suburbs and their increasing popula tion ; but allowing it to be unnecessarily large, it shows how much remains to be done. The Asso ciation undertakes to keep all its fountains in full working order by means of weekly inspection ; and it complains that the neglected fountains which have been set down to its charge belong to other super visors. The aim which the members set before themselves and the public is the simple and praise worthy one—that there should be no necessity for man or beast suffering thirst in the streets of Lon don. If the public do their part the good work will not remain long incomplete. The Public-houses Closing Act Amendment Bill was read a third time last night in the Upper House, where Lord GRANVILLE, with commendable inge nuity, has contrived entirely to reverse the decision of the Commons. The bill as it originally stood provided for the closing of all places of refreshment between the hours of 1 and 4 a.m. But this proved such a hardship to those industrious and laborious classes who have to be pursuing their lawful callings during those hours that a modification was deter mined upon. In our busy and complicated life there are some who must work while others sleep, and two very important and honourable callings, those of the compositor and the market gardener, compel attention and exertion even before a sum mer's daybreak. To meet the wants of such classes it was determined that special licences should be granted for keeping open the houses which were frequented by them ; and this arrangement would have answered very well if the police had not thought fit to arrogate to themselves the functions of Parliament, and to grant no licence whatever. An amendment was consequently introduced this session, which gave the power of licensing to the magistrates instead of to the police, and this was carried through the Commons. Lord GRANVILLE, however, on the bill's arriving in the Lords, contrived to introduce a clause which left the licensing with the police in towns, and gave it to the magistrates in the country ! The bill was never wanted for the country. It was designed for the bene f it of certain classes of the metropolis, and to act, as Lord GRANVILLE proposes, would be first to leave matters as they were last year, and will end in the toffl defeat of a wise and useful measure. The Commons can scarcely tolerate such an unwar rantable interference on the part of the Govern ment in the Upper House, and it is simply absurd to bring in an Act Amendment Bill, which is no amendment at all, but retains the full faults of the original scheme. We hope the hurry of the moment and the press of electioneering cares will not pre vent some energetic M.P.'s from stopping this mis chievous innovation of Earl GRANVILLE'S. The Funeral of the Czarewitch, (From the Correspondent of the Times.) BERLIN, June 17. The obsequies of the Czarewitch terminated on the 9th inst. in the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and Paul, at St. Petersburg. This magnificent church is situate within the walls of the metropoli tan citadel, and since its construction by Peter the Great has been the burial-place of nearly all the members of the imperial family. On this melancholy occasion part of its lofty columns had been hung with black, and a catafalque erected for the sarco phagus of the deceased Prince. With the stroke of 12, the celebration of the Panichides began in the presence of the corps diplomatique, the dignitaries of State, and deputations from the different troops, authorities, and many of the civil corporations of the realm. After the lesson had been read, the Em peror, attended by the Crown Prince of Denmark, of Prussia, and the Princes of his house, entered, placing himself by the coffin side, and mo tioning the Bishops to proceed with the ceremony. Then followed the singing of a psalm, and the bles sing of the corpse by the assembled Bishops. The funeral rites over, the Emperor, with the Imperial and foreign Princes, lifted up the coffin, and, pre ceded by a most reverend host, bore his son to the vault of the Romanoffs. The batteries thundered forth, and there was another grave added to the row which begins with Peter the Great, the herculean. founder of a realm, and closes with Nicholas Alex androvitch, a beardless and prematurely departed youth. Immediately after the short and impressive ceremony the Emperor returned to Zarskoe Selo. I subjoin the translation from the Servian of a funeral sermon preached by the Most Rev. the Archimandrite Nicophorus in the Court Church of Cettinge, principality of Montenegro, on the occa sion of this sad event in the Imperial family. Both from a moral and political point of view it will be found to shed considerable light on one of the more interesting races of the Balkan peninsula and their peculiar way of regarding the ling of this and the other world. The sermon runs as follows : " But lately orthodox Russia was deprived of her mighty Czar, Nicolai Paalovitch, whom death, inexorable death, took away at a time when he was fighting for Christianity, at first with Turkey and afterwards with nearly all Eu rope ; at a time when the Occident attacked the colossal power of the Slavonic realm, when the enemies of the Slavonic races confidently expected the decline and fall of the Czar, and when many thought that his power and greatness would bo crippled for ever. But these expecta- tions were not fulfilled. The Occident did not attain its object. The gallant warriors of Russia, relying upon God and their Slavonic right hands, withstood the invader and offered him a truly heroic resistance. But lately, I say, orthodox Russia was deprived of Nicolai I. But death, insatiable death, was not satisfied with one victim. Soon after our orthodox brethren of AU the Russias mourned the departure from this nether world of Alexandra Feodorovna, his beloved Queen, and their re vered mother. With patience and manly endurance they bore these heavy losses, and their souls were comforted by the accession of his Majesty Alexander Nicolayevitch, a Sovereign so richly endowed by Providence with all the spiritual and intellectual gifts of man, that he excels even his illustrious ancestors by the wisdom and grandeur of his deeds. To-day 70 millions of faithful Russians are blessing his name with feelings of heartfelt gratitude, and offering up by day and by night, the most earnest prayers for his health and happiness. The grand reform which ho achieved during a ten years' reign have gained him the respect of all Europe. His works are truly great and remarkable. The emancipation of 20,000,000 peasants alone would have secured him the thanks of all free men on earth, and eternal rewards in heaven. In Russian annals his name is inscribed in letters of gold. It will shine and radiate in its pages , like a precious jewel adorning an Imperial crown. But noi , Russia only, the world acknowledges him to be one of the most illustrious and invaluable rulers of mankind in this and any age. In a word, the name of Alexander and his immortal achievements will shine in history, while there is a sun in the firmament and a moon in the skies. Bu fate had willed it that this good King and father of the Russian people should be afflicted by severe trials in the midst of his beneficent labours. Hardly had the wounds healed which his parent's death had inflicted on his filial heart, when death, cruel death, opened them again. This time it took away his noble son, the young Czarewitch and Grand Duke Nicolai Alexandrovitch. Woe is. me ! Woe is mo ! Death has taken away this excellent, this angelic youth, in the prime of his age ! What a terrific loss for their Majesties, his loving and exalted parents ! What a loss for his brother, for his sister, for the whole Im perial family and his affianced bride ! What a sorrow for orthodox Russia—a sorrow to last for ages. It is a grief too great to be confined toßussia only. The hearts of all orthodox people allied to Russia in faith and race are smarting under this terrible blow ; and of all Slavonians we, the freemen of the Black Hills, are suffering most un der an infliction which, bereaving our Prince of a friend, deprives us of a future protector and benefactor of our peo ple and commonwealth. Hardly ever, my brethren, has death proved so cruel a tyrant as on this occasion. Just think how beautiful his life was ; how richly blessed with all the gifts of God ; how lofty his intellect, how pure his morals; and your hearts will grieve, your eyes will weep, that he, of all others, should have been taken away. Yes, weep, weep, bitter and heartfelt tears. But, brethren, the will of the Lord must be done. The days of the Czare witch were numbered, and the word of doom went forth. He died ; but his immortal soul ascended to heaven. God loved him ; and because he loved him he summoned him to exchange the earthly and temporal crown for the king dom of heaven. Brethren, this unfortunate event is another proof that Death destroys whomsoever it pleases ; that it makes no distinction between kings and elders, between old and young, rich and poor, but carries off all alike and consigns them to the gloomy grave. Death spares no one, nor does it allow mortality to be a thing of this world. As Holy Writ has it, our life is not of this world, but we shall live in heaven. Our days are few and come to a speedy end ; but even though we lived 100 years they would be as nothing to the boundless expanse of eternity. We all know that we are to die, but what is veiled from our ken is the how and the when. Our Heavenly Father will not let us into the secret. some die young, some old ; some at day break and some at the decline of the day. As orthodox Christians it therefore behoves us to prepare for death, and be ready for instantaneous departure from earth to heaven. There will be no time to repent and prepare for the king dom of God when death is at hand. If we wish to attain to salvation we must at once begin to love our neighbour as ourselves, to revere God and attend Divine service, to do what is right and just, to be good and kind, to live in the fear of the Lord, and make His glory the only object of our existence in the flesh. And now, orthodox brethren, lel, us lift up our hands in prayer, and entreat the all-merciful Creator of heaven and earth to grant to the Grand Duke Nicolai Alexandrovitch the glorious joys of Paradise. His memory will live for ever ! Amen." The Emperor has charged the military governor of St. Petersburg to express to the inhabitants his thanks for the sympathy evinced on the interment of his son. Numerous members of the highest Polish nobility had repaired to St. Petersburg to attend the burial, and conciliate the Court. The ladies of St. Petersburg intend offering a valuable cross to Princess Dagmar, the affianced bride of the late Czarewitch. The cross is of lapsis lazuli, with golden settings, and an exact copy of the one which was shown to the Emperor Constan tine by a heavenly apparition, and subsequently painted from his drawings on the walls of St. Sophia's Church at Constantinople. Following the example of their metropolitan sisters, the Moscow ladies have also resolved to offer a token of their re spect and sympathy to the afflicted Princess. Their gift consists of a magnificent copy of the Russian Gospel, bound in violet velvet, and richly set with golden ornaments and legends in the old Slavonic tongue. On the front side of the cover appears a little painting in the style of the Byzantine religious school, representing the resurrection of Christ, with the words underneath : " Christ has risen from the dead, conquered death through death, and brought new life to those that are in the grave." On the other side a golden cross of old Russian shape is surrounded by the words — "Oh, death, where is thy sting ? Oh, grave, where is thy victory ?" The clasps bear the date April 12, 1865, being the day on which the Grand Duke died. EXTRAORDINARY LONOEVITY.—The obituary in the Times of the 21st and 22d inst. contains some rare illustrations of prolonged life, in the case of six ladies and the same number of gentlemen, whose united ages amounted to 1,044 years, giving an average of exactly 87 years to each ; the eldest lady having reached 94 and the youngest 81 years of age, the eldest gentleman being 95 and the youngest 81 years of age. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTIR'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. CROOKHAVEN, Jun 23. The steamship Helvetia, from New York on the 10th inst., passed the Fastnet this morning. She brings 82 cabin and 115 steerage passengers, and $155,000 in specie. standing the clearness of his accent and the loud tone in which he spoke, the speech was very im perfectly heard to the close. Commenting upon the above, La Grece says :-- "The mournful impression produced upon thepublic by the disgraceful scenes that have taken place is not yet effaced, and more than one already despair of a Chamber which has so ill inaugurated its career. God grant that the sinister presentiments of the public may not be realised, and that we may not see the spectacle renewed which the last con stituent Assembly so frequently offered us. If violent men have again succeeded in getting the people to entrust them with a mission imposing upon them so many dutid, we are happy to believe that they are few in number, and that the con viction of their weakness will make them retreat within the bounds they ought never to have passed." CANADA. MONTREAL, June 9. The following is the farewell address presented to Gen. Williams by the volunteer corps, together with his reply : "To his Excellency Lieutenant-General Sir W. Fenwick Williams, of Kars, Bart., K.C.8., com- manding her Majesty's forces in British North America. " Sir,—We, the undersigned, the Commandant, Staff, and officers commanding corps of the Volun teer Militia of the City of Montreal, desire, on be half of that force, to express to your excellency the deep regret they feel at your approaching departure, and request most respectfully and cordially to wish you farewell. During the years that your excellency has commanded the forces in this portion of her Majesty's dominions events have transpired on this continent of no ordinary importance ; events, too, that on more than one occasion have threatened to interrupt our peaceful relations, and to bring about the arbitrament of war with our powerful neighbours. Since the period at which your excellency as sumed command in these provinces the volunteer militia force of Canada, to which we belong, and which is, in effect, the only organised por tion of our militia, has largely increased, both in number and efficiency, and we are well aware how much of this satisfactory result is due to the countenance which your excellency has uni formly afforded to those who, under circumstances of much difficulty and with but little encourage ment, have felt it their duty to use their humble efforts in promoting the military training of the loyal manhood of Canada. It is in vain for us to attempt, within the limits of a simple address, to express to your excellency all the thanks we owe you for the assistance you have given to the volun- teer militia during the time you have been amongst us, or the real regret experienced at your departure. We can but once again most respectfully bid you farewell, and pray that you may be long spared to the profession of which you are so bright an orna ment, and to the Queen and country of whom you are so distinguished a servant. " Signed on behalf of the Volunteer Militia of the City of Montreal, this 9th day of June, 1865." General Sir F. Williams replied as follows : " To Colonel Dyde, the Staff, and officers com manding Corps of the Volunteer Militia of the City of Montreal,—l return you my hearty and sincere thanks for the sentiments of esteem and regard which you express towards me in this address, and beg to assure you that your regrets at the present moment of my departure from among you aie mutual. The last four years of my command have indeed been eventful as regards the history of this continent, yet peace has been preserved between us and the United States ; and I firmly believe that the good sense of both nations, guided by wise Governments, will insure us a long con tinuance of this inestimable blessing. I especially thank you for the mention you make of my friendly assistance and encouragement of your zeal and un remitting efforts to increase the number and effi ciency of the volunteer force of Montreal ; and no military man or competent judge in private lifewho has witnessed the results of these exertions can un dervalue their extent and efficacy, and it reflects the higher credit upon the commandant and his officers when I admit that all this has been effected under circumstances of peculiar difficulty. In taking leave of the volunteer force collectively, I beg to express my sentiments of regard for their commandant, who has so gallantly and successfully struggled against all difficulties, and also for those officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates, for their discipline and subordination. I bid you adieu with the hope of occasionally revisiting this great city, and I have reason to hope that one of its first improvements may be a drill-shed worthy of it, and which will enable you to pursue your course of military instruction with increased efficiency.

ROULAND. MR. CHARLES DICKENS.—The committee of the Newsvendors' Benevolent and Provident Institution have presented an address to Mr. Charles Dickens, congratulat ing him upon his recent escape from an accident while travelling by railway. The Nord, in speaking of the manner in which Mdlle. Rosa Bonheur is to wear the Cross of the Legion of Honour, says :—" She will do as all the ladies honoured with the ribands of the numerous orders for females, that is, wear it on the left of the corsage of their dress, near the shoulder. Austria has one order for ladies, that of the Starred Cross, the most distinguished of all, founded by the Empress Eleanor in 1668. Bavaria four— those of St. Elizabeth, Theresa, St. Anne of Munich, and St. Anne of Wurzburg, admission to the three last being obtained on giving proofs of nobility. Spain has two— those of Maria Louisa and Isabella 11., the latter of which comprises only four French ladies—the Empress, the Duchess do Valence, nee Tascher, the Duchess de Bassane, and Madame Barrot. Portugal possesses one, that of St. Elizabeth. Prussia two—the Swan, created in 1441 and re-established in 1843, and the Louisa, founded in 1814. Russia, that of St. Catherine only ; and Mexico one, the San Carlos." lIIIIMMIMI ITALY. The statement of some Italian papers that the Italian Chargé d'Affaires at Madrid had been re called is without any foundation. The Nazione of to-day says the negotiation for the recognition of the kingdom of Italy by the German States will suffer a brief interruption, on account of the departure of the King of Prussia for Carlsbad. The Florence papers confirm the diplomatic rup ture between Rome and the Emperor of Mexico. The former insists upon the competency of the Church, not only in ecclesiastical matters but also in all questions of a mixed character, and rejects any compromise in regard to the sale of the Church property. News received here from Alexandria states that the cholera is on the increase. CHINA. (By direct Overland Telegraph). SHANGHAI, MAY 23. The Imperial troops at Hankow have mutinied.

Yesterday evening, at 6 o'clock, the Emperor, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, General Goyon, drove a phaeton along the quays as far as the Place de la Bastille, whence he proceeded through the Boulevards to the Madeleine. His Majesty was warmly cheered during the drive. Prince Napoleon, as soon as he could go out, proceeded to pay a visit to the Emperor at the Tuileries. The interview was of some length. His Imperial Highness is about to leave Paris for Prangins. BOURSE, June 22.—Although the rates realised in the markets for Stocks and Shares have not mate rially augmented since the opening of bUsiness to day, a better disposition has been manifested, and it is satisfactory to have to notice symptoms of a return of some degree of activity.

ATHENS, June 10 Prior to the opening of the Chamber yesterday some 90 deputies present in the capital met in the hall of session, while a numerous crowd occupied the tribunes and the space ordinarily prohibited to the public. Deputies and spectators elbowed one another in the most unedifying confusion. Conver sation was carried on in tones considerably above regulation pitch, and it was hardly possible to make out what was going on at the President's table, round which the multitude surged so closely that no passage was even left open on the side which the King was to enter. In the midst of this disorder the business technically termed " constituting the bureau" of the house had to be effected. The senior member was provisionally to take the chair, and the juniors to officiate as secretaries. M. Bulyaris, the leader of the Opposition, put forward M. Livadas as the senior member, and the latter gentleman im mediately assumed the presidential chair. Four other Opposition members slipped into the secre taries' seats, the youngest of their number being at least 45, and therefore hardly fulfilling the requisite condition of juvenility. The main point, however, was for the Opposition to gain a small advantage, if possible, over the Ministerialists by getting their candidates into the posts of authority. The victory seemed already won. But now came the tug of war ; Greek did meet Greek practically, and, in fact, Admiral Canaris presented himself and claimed the presidency upon the score of seniority to the present occupant of the chair. M. Livadas de clining to give up his post, the deputies and the general public took part in the squabble. Poor old Admiral Canaris was bullied or encouraged, told to come down or go up according to the political bias of the speaker ; cheers and hisses broke forth from the tribunes ; a hand-to-hand contest seemed upon the point of taking place when, luckily for the pre servation of the public peace, in came M. 'Walla, Minister for foreign affairs. His arrival, promising as it looked at first, did not ultimately mend matters much, for with a view of yielding to neither party, he proposed a third candidate—M. Marcora, deputy for Corfu—and as a natural consequence succeeded in discontenting both. The crowd around the table would not let M. Marcora pass, and when M. Caumaunduras proposed that the question should be put to the vote, the 'Opposition party rejected that mild compromise as well. How the row would have ended is exceedingly doubtful, had not M. Lazaretas, the member for Zea, by some means succeeded in getting through the crowd, and ejecting M.Livadas, by persuasion or force, from the chair, i n w hi c h he immediately in stalled his own person. " I am the sinner. Let him turn me out who can," or words to that effect, was the first Presidential speech of the session. The roar of laughter that succeeded seemed to put every body in a good humour, for M. Lazaretas, though by no means the oldest member present, .succeeded in keeping his post. - Other members dislodged the opposition secretaries, and the house being thus " constituted," business commenced. The first thing to be done was to choose a committee by lot to receive the King at the main entrance after which the 'swea r i ng -i n of the members com menced by the Metrop o lit an . The noise, however, still continued, and it was hardly possible to hear a word. At half-past eleven the usher announced the arrival of the King, which seemed to produce very little impression. His Majesty was, however, re ceived with enthusiastic cheering, although order and silence were not fully restored in one of the tribunes. His Majesty began to read his speech in the midst of the noise, stopping from time to time in the hope the disturbance would cease. Losing patience at last, he called out to the noise-makers to be silent, but with very little effect, for, notwith- Progress of the Thames Embankment from Waterloo-bridge to the Temple This portion of that truly national work, the em bankment of the river Thames on the northern side, is rapidly progressing, the following being a descrip tion of the works up to yesterday (Thursday). The river wall, for a length of 250 ft., is now completed to the level of the roadway, together with the low level sewer and sub-way. In the Temple pier works (500 ft. in length) the whole of the foundations are built, and the lower courses of granite bedded to gether with the penstock chambers and flushing culverts. The massive blocks of granite forming the pedestals of the pier stand out with great bold ness, and this part of the works especially presents a most imposing appearance. The dam, for a dis tance of about 1,000 ft.., opposite Somerset House, is now nearly completed ; and extensive preparations are making for forming the foundations, prior to erecting the river wall. The piling in the ends of the cofferdams opposite Arundel-street and the Temple Gardens are now being removed to allow the low level sewer to be connected behind the Temple landing stairs ; and it is expected that within a fortnight the whole of the cofferdam, to the extent of the " No. 2 - Contract," will be completed, thereby entirely excluding from the works the tidal waters of the river for a distance of 1,900 ft. Up wards of 600 men are daily employed upon this por tion of the embankment. THE FILLING-IN. Yesterday a number of practical gentlemen visited the works of the Thames Embankment, and in spected that portion which includes the filling-in of the space between the wall of the embankment and the shore. The inspection was perfectly satisfactory to the contractors. On the contract under the superintendence of Mr. Ritson, between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges, the newly-made ground was found to be most substantial. It is formed of the river soil, of gravel, sand, &c., mixed with builders' rubbish, which forms a concrete equal, if not superior, to the concrete usually patronised in the western section comprising the shore between Westminster and Waterloo bridges. The filling-in is under the immediate superintendence of officers deputed by the Metropolitan Board of Works, and the inspection proved favourable. The remaining portion of the filling-in is to be on a similar prin ciple to that above-mentioned. How Much Cotton is there in the South. We take the following letter from the Boston (U.S.) Evening Post. The writer, whose initials only are, appended, is, we are informed, a director of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, and second to no person in the United States in his knowledge of the cotton question : Boston, May 12, 1865. " To the Editor of the Evening Post. " In your notice of the letter written by an American cotton spinner to Mr. Bright, from which you made some extracts, you gave the writer's opinion that there were 21 million bales of cotton in the South on the Ist of April. The estimate was made under the date of January 1, 1865, since which time a large amount of cotton has been destroyed at Montgomery, Columbus, Macon, &c. "Notwithstanding this fact, the writer adheres to the opinion that over 21 million bales of cotton will be avail able before the next planting season. " This estimate is not generally accepted, but a much lower one is believed. The lower figures are based on the statements of Southern men now in New York, many of whom have lately come north. Their estimates are dis trusted by me, because Southern cotton men have always been notorious for understating the quantity of cotton, and because a large portion of those now here have an interest in cotton. " The average estimate of Southern men who have been in No. York during the past few weeks gives a present stock of 1,600,000 bales. It is, in my mind, not unreasonable to allow 25 per cent. as the probable under statement of a commodity known to be hoarded like gold throughout the cotton country, when the estimates are made by the parties chiefly interested in keeping up the price. " But let us take them at their average, and admit the stock on hand to be 1,600,000 bales. I have as yet seen no consideration given to the probable crop of this year. This is usually passed over without thought, but we have posi tive assurance that there are more than double the number of black labourers at work in Texas and on the Red River that there were before the war, removed thither from the Mississippi River. "Texas made in 1860 405,000 bales of cotton: she has now twice the labouring force, and evidence can be and has been obtained that a crop of more than 500,000 bales has been planted this year. . "Now, as to the cotton country on this side the Missis sippi and in Western Louisiana and Arkansas. Wherever our troops have marched they have found food in plenty ; they have devastated a narrow strip, finding cotton every where, and on that narrow strip the inhabitants must plant only grain this year; but mark the line of march through Georgia,forinstance, and see how narrow a section it covers. Beyond that narrow line food is still plentiful, and every man who had an acre prepared for corn will put half of it in cotton. Lee surrendered early in April, and it is not yet too late to plant cotton. Every Southern man who reads this statement will probably deny it, but cotton was planted last year on a Mississippi river plantation far above Vicks burg, in which the writer was interested, on the Bth day of June ; the larger part was cut down by the army worm, but from the remaining plants a good crop was gathered. "It is certainly within reason to expect 300,000 bales to be raised elsewhere than in Texas. They will give a supply available before May 1, 1866, as follows : Average estimate of stock on Southern testimony Texas crop Crop elsewhere 1 ,600,000 ..• ..• . . 500,000 ••• ••• II" ••• 300,000 110 1100 II" •f. 2,400,000 It can be easily demonstrated that if this quantity of cotton shall come into the markets of the world prior to May 1, 1866, the total supply of 1866, including that raised in other countries, will be more than equal to the capacity of all the spindles in Europe and America to spin in one year ; and if our cotton shall prove to be very largely a surplus export, not required to balance imports, but payable in gold, then the price must for a time be regulated not by its intrinsic value with reference to future small crops, but by the price which Europe can pay in gold at the time the bulk of the cotton comes into market. " If this temporary depression should take place just before the proper season for making arrangements for planting the next crop, the reorganisation of industry at the South will be impeded and very much delayed, and to this result the proposed course of the Government now directly tends. " It is quite evident that the Government officers do not believe there is in existence a sufficient quantity of cotton to cause any depression in price that will seriously impede future planting. If they are correct, an open trade, free from all restrictions, will soon develope the facts. The large majority of the large spinners of this country, the men of all others whose interest it is to get at the facts, believe that there aro from two to three million bales in stock now. "The Government has of late been imposing such onerous charges and taxes of one kind and another that the parties who have moved cotton have suffered fearful losses. It would have been better for the owners of some lots of cotton to leave it to rot than to pay all the charges and taxes required to get the cotton to market. "What is the result ? We have now scarcely any re ceipts of cotton on private account, the Government stock is well known, speculators control the New York market, and prices have been run up in such manner as to check the operations of the cotton mills, disorganising industry, and preventing the increased employment of labour at a time when it is essential that labour should be fully employed. " A change is made by the new trade regulations just issued, but under these new regulations the system of purchase of cotton by agents of the Treasury depart ment is to be continued. It is to be supposed that the most liberal system of purchase possible will be adopted. But if the cotton is to be purchased at all by the Treasury agents, the best they can do will be to take one quarter in kind, and deliver the other three-quarters to the owner with all taxes paid ; in other words, assessing a tax under the trade law of 25 per cent. in kind, in place of the internal revenue tax of 2 cents per pound. It is not believed that cotton will move freely under this regulation. " To prove that I am not alone in my estimate of cotton available before May 1, I give you the following statement. prepared by a gentleman who has been for 20 years a buyer of cotton in the South, and who has better means than I have of forming a judgment to-day : MAY 1, 1865. Old Cotton Merchantable East of Mississippi 700,000 West of Mississippi 2,300,000 Plants of 1865. In Texas 700,000 Else where 300,000 1,000,000 Available before May 1, 1866 ... 3,300,000 " If any judicious men believe such figures as these, and and there are many who do, the policy adopted should be one which should bring out the old stock as quickly as possible, in order that the lowest point may be reached and a rise established before the next planting. " Suppose we are wrong, and that there are but one million bales, then the high price will be established very soon, and the greater will be the inducement to keep order, maintain peace, and establish free labour in every cotton state." 61124 HER IVI AJESI Y.

(From the Cincinnatti Daily Commercial of June 6) Abe house and Mrs. Charles Kean appeared to a ge°' house last night in the plays of ,4 Henri the Eighth" and the " Jealous Wife." Mr. Kea n is tirt gentleman of middle height, and has a ca lm but scholarly face. The features are strongly marled' but seldom out of repose, which fact adds gre atl y t 0 the import and effect of the remarkable expresel°ll that three or four or five times during the progress of the play rest on them. of The elocution of Mr. Kean has not a trace a staginess about it. It is marked by a profeil n ho originality, perplexing to an ear used t . t r hackneyed cadences of the stage, and the set Julie": tions which occur naturally to the hasty studelleow which so many actors are. His unimportant spee ci tit are simply recited with impressive gravity, wi tb s ° animation, and little incidental emphasis• an d gestures ars not numerous, but very graceful complete when they are introduced. In but 4:4- scene in " Henry the Eighth" did Mr. Sean ploy some of the latent force which has made bhe he so great a name. It was in the utterance oft r lament we have referred to.
