I .sutt. LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 23, 1865. A letter which has just been published in an American journal, written by General SHERNAN in the August of last year, is full of interest. It was written during the eventful months that preceded the close of the war, and the final break up of the Southern power. General SHERMAN'S march was certainly not characterised by any great tenderness or humanity, yet it is evident from the tone of his remarks that he looked upon the South with very different feelings from those which actuated the New England party in the North. When planning his march or ordering his attack General SHERMAN thought of nothing but the subjugation of his He did not pause to remember the com mon origin of North and South, or the common interests which might be involved, but he considered the shortest and most effective means of reaching the end he set before him. Still he had lived long enough in the South, he had mixed freely enough p among Southern people to k now that their rebellion vas no mere temporary outbreak, n o evanescent display of feeling. Right or wrong, it was the re sult of years of s mothered resentm ent, of deep a n d the sincerity o f t h eir re stubborn resolution , and solves and of their grievances was plainly show„ in the vigour and the courage with which the Confederates battled for their indepen dence. &LEMAN declares that in 1861, when he resigned his post in Louisiana, he did so because of the seizure of the United States' arsenal at Baton Rouge, and that he then obtained lucrative employment at St. Louis, " hoping that some change would yet avert the war." When these hopes were disappointed, and war was actually declared, he asserts that he and all brought up to r: military life were fGrced to make their choice, bug that even then he bad " as much love for the honest people of the South as any man living." Slavery troubles him very little. He would have been wil ling to have protected their shire rights had the Confederates remained in the union, but since his part of the country was challenged he felt he could do no less than take up the gauntlet. General SHERMAN, - at least, did not fall into the error of Mr. SEWARD and Gen. GRANT ; he never supposed that the contest would be a brief one. " I have never," he says, " underrated the • magnitude of this vier, for I know the dza of the South, and the difficulty of operating in it. But I also know that the enemy. The Preston Art and Industrial Exhibition was opened on Thursday at the Corn-Exchange-rooms. Lord DERBY was expected to deliver the inaugural address, but was unfortunately prevented from ill ness from being present. The Mayor expressed the great regret which he felt at the unavoidable absence of the noble Earl, and made a few remarks on the general object of the undertaking. It has been originated by working men, and there seems no reason to doubt its success. Colonel WILSON PATTEN addressed the Assembly, and also alluded to the absence of Lord DERBY in terms of regret. He truly said that it was the more unpropitious, because the noble earl had interested himself so much in the state of the county, and would therefore have rejoiced greatly at the present happy illustration of the blessed change that has taken place. Nobody bet ter than Lord DERBY can appreciate the fortunate alteration that has occurred, and it is certainly the more to be deplored on that account that he should not have had the satisfaction of appearing to inau gurate so striking an instance of improvement. In no part of his eminent career has Lord DERBY won for himself more heartfelt admiration and more deep respect than in the noble and disinterested manner in which he came forward at the time of the great distress in Lancashire on account of the cotton famine. His zeal and ability did good ser vice to the cause, and while be rendered great benefit to the distressed operatives, he vindi cated his order from the calumnies which some of the democratic orators are very prone to cast upon the aristocracy. Colonel PATTEN remarked upon the great advantages which accrued from the inauguration of Exhibitions such as those before them. They have for end and object the purpose of affording the working classes of the country the means not only of " mental improvement and in creased intelligence, but also of rational recreation and amusement." There was justice in the obser vation made by the Colonel on the affinity which these minor affairs bear to the Great Exhibition of 1851, and other striking undertakings of the like sort. Nothing of the sort can be done without labour and also great self-denial on the part of those who con tribute to these Exhibitions, however lowly they may be in their character, and however limited in their scope. They therefore deserve every encour agement that can possibly be afforded to them, and it is greatly to be rejoiced at that so many influen tial personages should have come forward to lend their aid, and promote by their influence these interesting and important undertakings. The Marquis of HARTINGTON expressed his great satis faction at the aspect of affairs as represented in this Exhibition, and trusted that its opening might prove to be an earnest of industry restored and comfort re-established among the inhabi tants of Lancashire. No doubt this Preston Exhibition possesses an individual interest, and bears about it a distinctive attraction which other affairs of the sort have not presented to us, on account of its being as it were the type and shadow of better things to come, and of being also the illustrated and fair presentiment of dangers past and sufferings turned into rejoicings. Truly did the noble marquis declare that some two or three years ago when they were in the midst of the hor rors of the Cotton Famine, it seemed impossible to believe that such an affair as that day presented itself to notice could take place. A more appropriate allusion than this could not have been made, for many who ought to have known better were very prone to give way to despair, and prophesy all kinds of horrors instead of look ing forward with a brave spirit, and looking up ward with a trusting heart. Much has been done for the Lancashire operatives, but much more has been done by them, and they were exactly in that position when people must help themselves or be utterlylost. England has had, indeed, good reason to o ri was to lal proud of f her so ns o f toil, and, sh arp them, t o their countryitwas sa and to their countrymen an encouragement through their noble enduran ce an d constant minds. a g s l glo ry, Lord HARTINGTON gave a wi se counsel at the 'conclusion of his speech when he said that pros perity was not always a period of unmi xe d good for the labouri n g classes, for they spent their money sometimes in a very unprofitable manner. It follows, then, that all that induces or disposes to the enjoyment of more intellectual tastes and the cultivation of more refined habits was of great im portance, and foremost among such good works must be ranked the Exhibitions such as are now being inaugurated through the length and breadth of the land. To spend a few pleasant hours will be the chief object of those who frequent such places, and this in itself is a very desirable thing, for it will be at any rate innocent recreation that they enjoy, and harmless relaxation from hard toil aad sterner labours. As M. B4YLEY said, it is a great thing that the labouring chase of yFeston should Northern races have, ever since the war began, had more patience and perseverance than the Southern races." It was in patience and perseverance that the South failed at last. The planters were un- I willing to sacrifice their slaves, the Congress was : unwilling to own itself in the wrong, and the people were tired of the war and disheartened at their prospects. President DAVIS and his advisers had to play a desperate game, and unfortu nately they had not the power or the determination to play it. It might be he roic to hold out till the last moment, but there lacked the spirit and determination amongst the people which could alone have united them in one, and presented a resolute front to the invader, and have secured conditions of peace that would have left the South still a powerful and united body• Without this it would have been better to have come to terms with the Federals at Fort Monroe, to have arranged the principles of peace with LINCOLN himself—always one of the most temperate of the Northern Cabinet, and to have avoided giving even a temporary triumph to the extreme and vindictive party in the North, whose two receipts for the sup pression of a powerful people are confiscation and the gallows. But now the first fury of the hour is over, the words of men like SHERMAN will have weight. While, naturally enough, laying all the blame of the war on Southern shoulders, he still speaks of the Confederates as countrymen, and de clares that he would willingly sacrifice his wealth and his honours and begin the world anew if the Southern people would cease the war, elect their own representatives, and settle the slavery question and all other matters by argument instead of by the sword. It must be remem bered, in General SEEMAN'S honour, that these words were penned in the autumn of 1864, and if they seem to be inconsistent with the cruelty he permitted his men to exercise during his march southwards, it must also be borne in mind that, when the opportunity of making terms was offered him, he showed so much magnanimity and libera lity that he drew down upon himself the reproof of the extreme party in the Cabinet. Happily President JOHNSON has learned wisdom and mode ration by responsibility ; and he may be sure that, though bigots and fanatics may exclaim against his forbearance, the most able and honourable men of every party will cordially support him in the only course which promises to heal the wounds of their sorely distracted country. THE SUB, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1865. have originated the Exhibition themselves. Such a trophy of their exertions is a fact that cannot be disputed, and a sign of their improvement that may not be questioned. It may be necessary at a future period for others to step in and lend them a helping hand, but at any rate the main object is accomplished if the affair is put in train, and the idea is inaugu rated. The Hon. P. A. STANLEY proposed, " that the assemblage recognised with great satisfaction the existence of an earnest co-operation among per sons of different ranks, classes, and pursuits in the Exhibition that day opened." This is another of the many inestimable benefits that re suit from these undertakings, and as time goes on, and the number of them increases, and opportunity is afforded to us to test their merits, we shall more and more appreciate their good, and hail their adoption among us. The true mode of civilising a community is by forming some mutual ground on which divers classes may meet to their mutual improvement, for while the working mem bers of society may learn much to elevate and refine their lives, the sons of affluence may derive many a wholesome lesson from the illustration of the career of those beneath them, who, from the cradle to the grave, are trained to exertion, and can only leave as an heirloom to their successors " the nobility of labour, the long pedigree of toil." The enemies of the pleasant little feathered tribes who do us so much service while receiving so- little gratitude have just received a practical lesson. It seems that a gentleman residing in the country, who possesses a choice variety of gooseberry bushes, inclined to the popular belief that the sparrows were his worst foes. To guard against their attacks in the most effectual manner he did nut adopt the old fashioned plan of a scarecrow, nor the newer and more cruel mode of poisoned wheat, but he went to the expense of having a wire awning thrown over that part of the garden where the highly-prized fruits were located. The sparrows were kept off effectually enough, and no doubt the owner plumed himself upon his ingenuity and his determination, of course expecting a liberal supply of fruits. Un fortunately SOLOMON proves a true philosopher in spite of modern inventions, and when he declared pride to go before a fall, he only spoke an un palatable but most indisputable truth. The spar rows it is true departed, but the gooseberries de parted with them. The awning kept off the im pertinent little feathered visitors, who made so free with the tempting berries, but it did not keep off the caterpillar below, and leaf and fruit alike vanished before the new destroyer. The sparrow, while helping himself to some fruit that was seen helped himself also to a great deal that was not seen, and in fact only paid himself for his labour. It takes.a very long time to obliterate prejudice, and by the time that our colonists with great trouble and expense have naturalised sparrows among themselves, we shall probably have succeeded in exterminating them here. The lesson which the gentleman referred to has learned at some cost had better be borne in mind by all farmers and fruit growers, and if they are wise they will bestir them selves to secure the suppression of our numerous sparrow clubs before the commencement of another season, unless they wish to see their fruit and crops made a present of to the caterpillar and his crew.

Gazette describes an exciting staghunt in the neighbourhood of Lynmouth,North Devon, on Tuesday week. He says—" They found a fine stag in Stoke Wood, the tufters working him half an hour; he broke cover near Pool Bridge, about 2 o'clock, and went away over Pool farm for the moor. Away we went to Porlock Common, and across Chalk Water to Oars Com mon, then down Badgeworthy Water to Badgeworthy Wood, left the water, crossed Badgeworthy Wood, and away westward over that common to Brendon Com mon. From thence the stag dashed over Scobhill to Brendon Wood, and, taking to the water, broke out over Countessbury Hill, pointing for the sea ; here he was headed by people on foot, and returned to Brendon Wood, through which he went, crossing the Lynmouth road up Cheriton Valey. Hero he was again headed, this time by the Rev. J. Russell, and turned back once more to Brendon Wood, crossing the stream and Lynmouth-road, down the side of the hill pointing for Lynmouth. Then he mounted the rocks, and got into an almost inaccessible place be ls whipped minutes, off, before but h w e could as teo b e much o s t t , a h k e e h thea d between two roc k s, w h ere he held the hounds at b ay f ur 10 , a t t g at on a r i ds n n , t h s o e ee t h o e u in t L u de r n lB.O, ,eda havingf b t a r ck ilivi o omr n ki t ni hn view,ge s u am p d e ar t ou r vd a e c rack oi t ml h v a ne t to h hs e ee ° to r h tca h o il mw ls e stream, and plunging about with the hounds round him for some ten minutes, they pulled him down ; and, though he had run for his life gallantly, it was all over with him, and his throat was cut by the master. The ruu was about two hours and 40 winutes, at a fine racing pace, with scarcely fact, the pace was so fast, and the day so about 13 couples of hounds were in at the hot,an y check—in that only finish.

APPEARANCE OF A SUPPOSED FENIAN VESSEL ARMED AND FULL OF MEN. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 23 (Afternoon). The Liverpool Telegraph publishes the following report of the American ship Hannah, from Car denas, which has arrived in this port : " On the 15th of September, in lat. 50 50, long. 27 16, we fell in with a screw steamer, barque rigged of about 2,000 tons, apparently full of men and heavily armed. She fired shot across our bow, when we hove to and set the American ensign ; upon which she suddenly altered her course and steered for a vessel in the distance, hoisting a green flag with a harp on it." AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AFFRICA. (Via Crookhaven,) NEW YORK, SEPT. 14, Evening. A delegation of prominent citizens, representing the nine Southern States, have had an interview with President Johnson, to affirm their allegiance to the constitution and the union, and express confi dence in the President's policy towards the South. Mr. Johnson, in replying to the sentiments expressed by the delegation, said he was glad to see the Southern people, after submitting the question of secession to the arbitrament of the sword and having lost the cause, now frankly admitted their defeat, and were willing to become good citizens. The Government would do all in their power to restore civil autho rity in the South, and he hoped to see them again fully enjoying the old position in the Union. The Government had no disposition to deal harshly with the South, notwithstanding the speeches pub lished in various quarters breathing a different spirit. Though dreading disintegration he strongly opposed consolidation. The delegation thanked the President for the generous and magnanimous expression of his kindly feeling towards the South. It is reported that all troops, except for garrison duty, will be recalled from the Southern States. The conflict between the civil and military autho rities in South Carolina has been amicably arranged. The civil courts will settle all cases except those in which negroes are concerned. These latter will be decided by the Provost Marshal's Court. Orders have been issued to muster out all northern coloured troops in Virginia, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. , . Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, an influential member o the Radical Republican party, has made a speech urging wholesale confiscation, and the treatment of the South as a conquered people until they were fit to . form State Constitutions, when Congress, if it thought proper would readmit them into the Union. President Johnson's plan of reconstruction was illegal. The sovereign power of the nation was lodged in Congress. and if Congress declared the South to be a con quered enemy, reconstruction would be easy and legitimate. The South Carolina election of delegates to the Convention for amending the Constitution took place on the 4th inst. The ticket representing the former rebels was carried by a large majority. The Federal troops are preparing to evacuate Mississippi. Orders have been given for all coloured troops in North Carolina, who were enlisted in Northern States, to be mustered out. Cotton at Memphis has advanced from 38 to 45 cents per lb. for midllin g. The Hibernia, City of New York, Teutonia, and Bremen have arrived out, The French frigate Themis has arrived at New York. The Asia has arrived at Halifax. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, SEPT. 14, Evening.

Stop ! ' said the volunteer, ' there's a row to be got up ! ' and the gate-keeper had to let them out again. They gave this man their purses and watches ; two going on towards the speakers, and the third remaining behind in the town. The two repeatedly stepped in the way of the persons coming in, notwithstanding that the latter said to them, If you want to quarrel go to healthy people ;we are invalids.' For the party consisted, besides the cook, Ott, who was unsteady on his legs, of a second man having a broken arm but just healed, and a third who had recently been laid up with a fractured leg. The cook had given a farewell supper at Klein's, upon the Coblenz Road, as he was to leave the following . morning ; and the three were going home peace ably through the Hofgarten. The volunteer named Count Eulenburg several times got in front of the cook to bar his progress, the cook as often begged the assailants to go home quietly and leave them in peace, till, finally, losing patience, he said, " What do you - boys really want?" He immediately received a blow upon the head, sat down upon the ground, and re mained sitting while the other tussled. One of the cook's friends got hold of the sabre and hid it under his coat; it was given up the next morning. One of Ott's friends was badly beaten, and as the whole party of the Bourssen came rushing out of the tavern to the spot they would, undoubtedly, have been still worse treated if a certain Herr von Witz leben had not recognised the groom of the chambers to Prince Alfred in one of Ott's party, who just came up. He called out, " Why, these are Prince Alfred's people!" whereupon the whole band of some 20 Borussen took to their heels, and poor Ott r was carried home, where he died a few days after wards in most dreadful anguish." The Norddeutsche Allgenzeine likewise recurs to the case, pointing out that one of the students accompanying Count Eulenburg, Herr von Briin neck, was badly hurt in the affray, and that no proofs exist of Count Eulenburg having been the actual author of Ott's death. The whole affair, i -concludes the Ministerial paper, was now in the bands of the Procureur-General. THE GASTEIN CONVENTION. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23. The Nord of to-day publishes a telegram from Paris, which says The text of Earl's Russell's circular upon the Gastein Treaty, published by the Independance Beige, is an invention, the object of which was to create the belief that a 'good understanding existed between the English and French Cabinets. The circular of M. Drouyn de Lhuys is alone au thentic." The Nord believes that it is able to guarantee the accuracy of the above intelligence. SPAIN• MADRID, SEPT. 22 (Evening). The Novedades of to-day says:—" Madrid will certainly escape the visitation of cholera; the pre vailing maladies are the cholics usual at this season of the year, occasioned by excess in fruit." FRANCE. PARIS, SEPT. 23. The Minister of the Interior has addressed a cir cular to the Prefects, dated Sept. 22, in which he urges them to peruse the provincial newspapers with STArE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, Sept. 22.—The market generally shows more buoyancy and elasticity to-day than it has done for a long period, and a very large business is doing both for yarns and cloths. There are mills still standing, and there are many looms in the mills that are working which are kept idle for want of weavers or sufficiently skilled workpeople but so far as the production goes it appears to be falling for the time behind the demand. In shipping yarns we have had a very excited market to-day, and a very general advance has been paid for most counts and qualities, buyers for India, China, and most others of the principal markets being rather anxious to place orders. Prices have advanced, under these circumstances, ld. to lid. per lb. on the rates of last Tuesday. Nearly all descriptions of these yarns are becoming exceedingly scarce. Many of our spinners have entered into contracts to-day that will take them into November for completion. In home-trade yarns the market is also strong as to prices, and a fair business is doing. There is a de mand for most numbers of yarn for manufacturers, and of some descriptions the supply appears to be inadequate. For cloth we have had a very excited market to-day, with a considerable advance in prices for nearly all descriptions, but the great scarcity of goods available for delivery, and the heavy pre engagements of manufacturers, who have been en tering into contracts for some weeks past, preclude the possibility of a very large business being done. There are a great many orders in the market waiting to be placed, and eager buyers, but the scarcity of yarns, and especially of the finer sorts, prevents manufacturers from entering into the engagements they- otherwise would. They are thus prevented from taking advantage of the greatly advanced quotations of goods, the prices of which, besides being extremely irregular, are, for all practical pur poses, in many cases only nominal. The demand embraces nearly all classes of goods, but the finer sorts of printing-cloths and cambrics for America, and longclahs for the Greek markets, are the goods principally in request. While, according to advices from the United States, the manufacturers there are fully engaged, the demand for cloths of various de scriptions is so great as to draw largely upon the supplies of this country, and thus orders have been gradually accumulating here for some time past. NOTTINGHAM, 22d.—At the Exchange-hall to-day there was a fair attendance, and the demand for lace yarns was firm. Prices for fine 'Lumbers were 3d. to 6d., and for coarse and medium ditto ld. to 2d. per lb. higher than on Tuesday. The demand for hosiery yarns was steady, at fully late prices. All kinds of silks firm. There was a rather better derriand for brown nets, and prices had a tendency to advance. WORTITY OF IMITATION.--The Chester magis trates have fined a man named Hickey for distributing in the streets the bills of a Bristol quack doctor. EXPLOSION AT A FIREWORK MANUFACTORY.-- On Thursday evening an explosion occurred at a firework manufactory situate at Nechells, a suburb of Birmingham. The result was that one man, named George derricks, was burnt to death on the spot, and his brother, Mr. John Merricks, the owner of the manufactory, also received such serious injuries that lie died .a few hours after the occur rence. A young girl was also much injuyed. The precise n cause of the accident has ot been ascertained. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have been on a very limited scale. The imports have only been to the extent of £88,998, chiefly from Anacrica and Austria, while the ex ports have amounted to £188,566, a large propor tion of which has been despatched to the East Indies and the Continent. Metropolitan Board of Works. The first ordinary weekly meeting of this board after the recess was held yesterday at the offices, Spring-gardens, Sir John Thwaitos, the chairman, presiding. The cash statement showed that the balances in the hands of the treasurer were, on current accounts .C 371,960 6s. 9d. ; on deposit accounts, £120,000 ; and on Govern ment securities, £18,198 lls. THE FIRE BRIGADE. The CHAIRMAN stated that there were two matters of great importance which would be referred to committees on Tuesday next. The first was the organisation of the Fire Brigade, and the other for consideration of the tenders for the embankment of the southern side of the Thames. He felt that it must be very gratifying to the board to find that the Thames was in so satisfactory a condition, consi dering the state of the weather and the very small quantity of water coming down it. (Hear, hear.) That fact was attributable to the main drainage. EARL, DUFFIELD, AND BATTLE-BRIDGE MAIN SEWERS, The CmurtmAN opened the tenders forthe reconstruction of these sewers, and they were as follows :—Mr. W. Dethic, £85,500 ; Messrs. Hill and Reddie, £94,000; Mr. Webster, £102,000 ; Mr. T. Pearson, £90,000 ; and Mr. E. Thirsk, £99,959. Mr. Dethic's tender was accepted, subject to the usual conditions. THE NEW STREET TO THE MANSION-HOUSE AND THE SOUTHERN EMBANKMENT: On the motion of ➢ir. DALTON, new accounts were autho rised to be opened at the Bank of England for the new street from Blackfriars to the Mansion-house, and for the Southern Embankment. ASSESSMENT OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr. DALTON submitted for approval a statement from the Finance Committee showing the annual value of the property in the City of London and other parts of the me tropolis, estimated according to the estimate or basis on which the county rate is assessed, or according to a like estimate, together with the sums to be assessed thereon in respect of the Metropolis Main Drainage Rate of 3d. in the pound, 1865-6, and recommending that the necessary pre cepts be sealed and issued. He congratulated the Board on the increasing assessments in the metropolis, and moved that the report of the committee be approved.

TAYLOR said if the re-assessment had been made year by year the amount would be much greater than it was now. A few years ago the assessment of the city was £900,000, and now it was £1,411,000, or about 50 per cent. greater than it was at that time. Whenever there had been an opportunity of increasing the assessment the city had done it. He therefore thought the city had done its duty, and had done a great deal more than the county had. Mr. lIEALEY maintained that I.ho county had done It. duty also, and that tho assessment was increasing there as well as in the city. Mr. NEWTON thought they had nothing to congratulate themselves upon the assessment being very high. The only result of that would be that the rates would enable the board to pay off the money they had borrowed for the very large works it had undertaken a few years earlier than it would have been in the ordinary course, so that the present ratepayers would be paying the whole cost of those great works. The CHAIRMAN reminded lir. Newton that they had only a certain amount to raise, and when the house property in creased the rate would be reduced. Mr. NEWTON said, from his experience, each person paid as much when the assessment had increased as he did be- Mr. FREEMAN said there was a suspicion against the city of London that they did not do their duty, and he thought it would be better if they had removed it. He suggested that the most satisfactorymode would be to have an uniform system of rating. The motion was carried unanimously, and the precepts were ordered to be issued. , THAMES EMBANKMENT, NORTH. Mr. BAZALGETTE, the engineer to the board, brought up his monthly report. It stated that during the seven weeks ending the 20th inst. 19,711 cubic yards of filling-in mate rial had been supplied to No. 1 contract from the land and 23,778 from the river. None had been supplied to No. 2 contract. The quantity supplied from the first weekly re turn was—to No. 1 contract, 96,207 cubic yards from the land, and 152,844 from the river ; to No. 2 the quantities supplied were 6,864 cubic yards from the land, and 10,176 from the river. THAMES EMBANKMENT, MAIN DRAINAGE, &C., / WORKS ACCIDENTS. Mr. BAZALGETTE reported that two fatal accidents had occurred at the Thames Embankment works to men who had been working at the cranes, and in each case verdicts o f "Manslaughter" had been returned. He also reported that on the 14th inst. three men were overcome by foul air in the sewer in Blackman-street, one of whom was able to get out before he became insensible, but the other two were rescued by two persons—the one named Rutter (a carpen ter) and the other Evans (a watchmaker) --who risked their own lives to save those of the workmen. He recommended that the Main Drainage Committee should consider whether the board would give those men any acknowledgment for their gallantry. The report was approved. The CHAIRMAN said he regretted to have to inform the board that a water company was making an attempt to break up the new street that the board had made in South wark for the purpose of laying down pipes. They had con structed a subway at vast expense, and it was greatly to be regretted that the street should be broken up, instead of the company carrying up their pipes through the subway. The street, if once broken up, would never be so sound and level again. He was very sorry the board had not the power of compelling them to make use of the subway. Mr. BIDGOOD asked whether they could not get an in junction against the company. The CHAIRMAN said they could not. The company had statutory powers, and the Court of Chancery could not interfere with them. The routinue business was then disposed of, and the Court adjourned. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena, and attended by Lady Churchill and Lieut.-General the Hon. C. Grey, lode over the hill to Invermark, where her Majesty slept on Tuesday night at Lord Dalhousie's shooting lodge, and returned to Bal moral the same way on Wednesday evening. Prince Amadeus. His Royal Highness Prince Amadeus arrived in Dublin on Wednesday evening, accompanied by his Excellency the Italian Minister, and attended by the officers in his suite. The royal prince was re ceived by the Chevalier Marani, Italian consul, and at once proceeded to the Gresham Hotel. After his arrival the prince went to the Italian Opera, and on Thursday morning visited the Exhibition. It is expected that his royal highness will prolong his stay in Ireland until the close of the ensuing week. Queen Emilita of Hawaii. Yesterday her Majesty Queen Emma and suite left the Bishop's Palace at Ely for Cambridge, Lord Charles and Lady Harriet Hervey accompanying her Majesty. The royal party started from Ely by express train in a saloon carriage, and arrived in Cambridge about 20 minutes after 9 o'clock. It comprised her Majesty Queen Emma, Lady Frank lin, Lord and Lady Hervey, Miss Cracroft, the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Hoapili, and the Rev. Mr. Cutts. From the Cambridge Railway Station, where a great crowd was in waiting, the royal party drove at once to Mr. Vice-Chancellor's Lodge at St. Peter's College (the Rev. Dr. Cookson's), for breakfast. A tour of visits was then made to the various ob jects of interest which abound in Cambridge. The first place visited was the Fitzwilliam Museum, when the party proceeded to several of the colleges and halls, and afterwards attended Divine service in King's College Chapel. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—We believe there is now no doubt that the Prince and Princess of Wales will visit Dunrobin on or about the 28th of this month.—lnverness Courier. His Serene Highness Prince George of Solms has left Lord Lovat's seat in the north of Scotland, to be pre sent at the northern meeting, Inverness. THE EARL OF DERBY.—HiS Lordship was to have dined with the Mayor of Liverpool on Monday next, but yesterday his worship received a letter from the Coun tess of Derby stating that his lordship was suffering from a severe attack of gout, and would not be able to keep the engagement. The rumour that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is to visit Knowsley on his return from Scotland is again revived. The Marquis of Hastings has recently returned home to Donnington Park, Leicestershire, from a yachting excursion on the coast of Norway. His lordship left Eng land in July last, accompanied by a select party of friends, including her ladyship's brothers, Lord Alexander Paget and Lord Berkeley Paget, and sevet al other friends. The Ladybird, in which his lordship sailed, was built expressly for the occasion, at (it is said) a cost of £B,OOO. It is a fine specimen of yacht craft, and is a perfect model of its kind. Its bin-then is 260 tons. Altogether there were 30 persons on board. The party went out intending to enjoy some piscatorial sport on the coast of Norway, diversified by deer shooting in the country. The Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury and Ladies Ashley are shortly expected to arrive in town from the Continent. The Earl Granville entertained the Earl de Grey, the Earl of Clarendon, and a select party at dinner last evening at his residence in Bruton-street. The Earl de Grey leaves town to-day on his re turn to Studley Park, his seat, near Ripon. Viscount Palmerston is daily regaining his strength from his recent attack of gout. Viscountess Jocelyn and Hon. Miss Jocelyn are expected to arrive in town next week from visiting the Lakes of Killarney. Lord Stanley, M.P., who came to town early in the week from Knowsley, has loft St. James's-square on a Continental tour. It is not his lordship's intention to return home till the end of January, that is to say, just before the meeting of Parliament. The Right lion. B. Disraeli and Mrs. Disraeli have left Hughenden Manor for Ashridgo Castle, on a visit to Earl Brownlow and Lady Marian Alford. BYRON AND PALMERSTON AT HARROW.—Captain Gronow of the Guards, whose amusing reminis cences of his own family formed a very popular book just at the time when Palmerston, in his hale and hearty octo genarianism, was so admirably maintaining the neutrality of England amid the shoals and quicksands of the American civil war, records that, at Harrow, " Byron hated Palmer ston, but liked Peel." And the chatty captain innocently adds in the immediate context a further sentence which entirely denudes Byron's " hatred" of Palmerston of the slightest disparaging weight. He adds—" Byron thought that the whole world ought to be constantly engaged in admiring his poetry and himself." This naive phrase hits off Byron to a nicety. The world, which has now adays much more unaffected reality and earnestness of character, though much less spasm and dramatic self consciousness that it had in Byron's time, is pretty well convinced of the arrant intellectual foppishness of that illustrious poet of the second rank. We are glad that Byron is recorded to have hate]. young Temple 14 Harrow. The " hatred," indeed, may have arisen from the relative positions of the two young peers' Palmerston was Byron's senior by six years; and in a public school, in which fagging prevailed in an unmiti gated form, the occasion of the " hatred" can be easily imagined. But, setting that aside, Byron and Palmerston (that is to say, if the boy Palmerston bore any resemblance to the man Palmerston, as we have known him) were precisely the men not to understand and appreciate each other. One essential feature of Palmer ston's character aid throughout has been an absolute and incredulous scepticism of, and disgust at, any form of self conscious conceit. He could not understand a person who was for ever fancying himself a ridiculous Corsair or Childe Harold, who affected amours that did not exist, that he might be thought a desperate Lovelace ; and, above all, who put his head in curl-papers to make it Antinous like, who could not bear to see a hungry lady eat a mutton chop, and who himself dined on ship-biscuit and soda water, that he might ward off the dreaded vulgarisra of obesity.—JPGilchrist's Life of Palmerston. NARROW ESCAPE OF A YOUNG LADY Flt° 3l DROWNING.—On Saturday last Miss Harvey, th e daughter of Mr. Harvey, M.P., and Lady Henrietta Harvey' with her cousin, Miss Long, daughter of the Rev. g en " , . Long, of Newton, were bathing with several me rnhej " of the family at Lowestoft. The sea was rough ; th e tide, which was strong running out, quickly carri ed the two ladies further than they intended, when a large vi a l raised Miss Long, who could not swim, off her feet, a° she was swept out by the current. Miss Harvey, 011°A was standing some yards off, could swim, and proceeded,- to her cousin's assistance. She had the presence of W ie n to give her cousin her hand to buoy her ,t r i ; at the same time calling loudly for assistance to bathing-machine man. Mrs. A. Johnstone, of The err° l . e s Yoxford, who also swims, was bathing, and hearing gt o Harvey's cries for help, called to the bathing man on t shore, who himself was unable to give the requisite assist ance. Miss Long, as soon as she found herself in del water, fainted, but Miss Harvey, who had seized her han d, , did not lose her presence of mind, but re tained her hol of her cousin, and, floating, endeavour ed to sustain he The cries for assistance by Mrs. Johnstone attracted the attention of Sir Henry Pottinger, Cap tain Finch, who w 0 stlying at Lowestoft, Captain Edwards, and Capt.
