It is po:itively stated in the news from Salzburg that the " understanding between the two Emperors 'is most favourable to the interests of peace." So it may very likely be for the present, and it is just as well that it should for many reasons. The continental nations have suffered enough from the horrors of war without reaping any correspond ing advantages to render it desirable for them to have a longer time for repose before again engaging in the dubious chances and awaiting the doubtful issue of war. At any rate it is so far satisfactory that ameeting should havetaken place-between these EMPERORS, and the more perfect the entente cordiale that exists between them, the better for the interests of the nations immediately concerned and for the general advantage o f E uro pe, The unfortunate death of the Emperor AIAXIMILIAN threw a shade over the festivities of Paris, and rendered the visit of FRANCIS JOSEPH to that city impossible. Besides this there were not wanting officious intimations to the effect that a coolness had sprung up between the two EMPERORS, and that friendly relations between them were, for the time being at least, most improbable. This meeting at Salzburg has given a flat contradiction to all these assertions, and proved that the best understanding prevails in that quarter. It is stated that the Emperor and Empress of AUSTRIA have promised that they will visit the Emperor NAPOLEON at Paris at the beginning of October. The chief object of the understanding which has been come to between the two EMPERORS is affirmed to be that of preventing South Germany from joining with the North German Confederation. The EMPEROR believes that the formation of a South German Bund, under the leadership of Austria, will be the only suitable scheme of confederation for the South. This is very likely a correct account of the conclusion arrived at in this Conference at Salz burg, and it is also a very sensible one, for it will be manifestly against the interests of France and Austria to allow Prussia to concentrate so much force in all directions. BISMARCK is sure to be annoyed at this meeting having taken place, for it cannot be that any accord can prevail between the notions of the EMPEROR and his own wily machina tions. There is no reason to suppose that the work is all over as yet, and no doubt, on many subsequent occasions, the Emperors of FRANCE and AUSTRIA will follow up the business now inaugurated. It is something gained that they should, have met at all, and it is fortunate for the interests of peace that they should have done so, for the aggressive policy of Prussia would certainly lead to premature hostilities if she were left entirely to her own devices. It may be that the adoption of wise measures, energetically carried out on the part of the French and Austriats, may so check the annoy ance and curb the demands of Prussia, that war may be delayed indefinitely, or till the chances and changes of time may render it unnecessary. The more likely issue of the affair is that there will be a war ; but in either case it is well that Prussia should be kept in check as much as possible. The meeting which has taken place at Salzburg under such happy auspices may hereafter turn out to be a remarkable one, as having inaugurated affairs of great importance. It is satis factory that it should have taken place, and that in so successful a manner. It was, in deed, time that some demonstration should have been made on the other side, for one is wearied to death with the constant repetitions of the advance and progress of Berlin tactics. The change is a re freshing one at least to hear of Austrian and French opinions, and to dwell on the probabilities of affairs taking a new turn under the auspices of ,hese great Powers. Affairs in Spain appear to be about as unsatis factory as possible, so far as the spirit which pre vails in the country. The insurrectionary move ment in Catalonia has been put down for the present ; prisoners have been made, and other insurgents have taken advantage of the amnesty which has been offered. In the province of Lerida the band under CoNTRERAs has been beaten, and he himself, with his partisans, have fled to gain the frontier. In Catalonia it is now thought that the insurrection is suppreszed, and in Valencia the band of CASTELLA has been dis- persed after sustaining losses and defeat. In Arragon great excesses hvae been committed by the ex-G eueral PIA R ADO during his retreat to the French frontier. The rest of the Peninsula is tranquil, it is said, and none of the soldiers have joined the movement. Still later news declare that the Official Gazette proclaims reassuriug intelligence in reference to the insurrectionary movement in Catalonia and Arragon, but in other places things do not seem to be going on so smoothly, for the military authorities in Madrid have published an edict proclaiming a state of siege in Castile, and advices from Madrid state that the city has been declared in a state of siege. The previous attempt at reassuring public opinion falls to the ground, when the capital is thus placed in a position of this sort. It is true that as yet no in surrectionary movement has been noticed either in the capital or its environs, but then we learn that these are only precautionary measures that are being adopted. The France of last evening publishes a telegram by which it appears that the greater portion o. Spain has been proclaimed in a state of siege, still as a precautionary measure. It seems pretty plain that this is a subterfuge, for mere prudence could never dictate the adoption of such extensive measures as these. It is stated, in the course of these extraordinary accounts, that the insurgents are undisciplined and insignificant ; in point of fact, a mere rabble, who are being hunted about the bills ; but it is a serious coinci dence that the Royal troors, in numerous bodies, with horse and foot, are hurrying on to the place of revolt, and urgently preparing for some rough work or other. General PRIM is now held up as the great danger, and it is said that he has ac tually reached the headquarters of the insurgents. If this be true, affairs may reach a pretty pass before long, and render it quite impossible for the most ingenious devices to make out that the dis turbances are of no account. It does not require a very sapient observer to determine the real mean ing of all this, for it is quite evident that the I country is ripe for revolt, and that sooner or later there will be a regular revolt. Precautionary measures may be taken for a long time, but they cannot altogether repress the feelings that exist. A growing hatred to the Government of Spain has been dis cernible for some time past, and it may not be long before this is made so plain that the most per verse will not be able to contradict it, nor the most plausible suggestions disguise the truth from all beholders. If one half of what these semi-official organs tell us were true, why should such arbitrary measures be taken against a population that was friendly to existing authorities? But the:object , of all these intimations is to gloss over things to gain time for events to take a more favourable turn. That turn is not likely to be seen yet awhile, for there is no secure foundation for the Spanish Government in the respect or the confi dence of the community. The trial of fifteen of the tailors on strike yester day, which ended in the conviction of thirteen of them for unlawful conspiracy, presented no very new features. The same system of picketing, ha rassing, and annoying was proved against them as against their leaders ; and although they were ably defended, and the magistrate admitted that the mere act of watching a house with the object of ascertaining who was employed there, and arguing with them, was not in itself illegal, the jury had really very little cause for deliberation. It was quite plain that the case had gone far beyond argu ment or persuasion, that threats and intimidation had been used, and every availabla means employed to hinder the non-unionists from filling the places of those on strike. The mere fact of being watched and followed by partio of men known to belong to THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENIN Id, AUGUST 23, 1867. a powerful and not too scrupulous association was of itself sufficiently alarming to deter timorous men or women from prosecuting their work. The direct object of the strike was to injure the masters, and by making them lose money by their business being at a stand-still to induce them to concede the demands of the men. The unionists talk about the legislative changes to be made for their benefit, but what possible changes can help them in extorting higher wages than an employer chooses to give it is not easy to see. Unless an Act of Parliament enacts that when men are on strike their employer shall be obliged to suspend business until they choose to work for him again, or unless it be provided that all infractions of the law are to be permissible to the members of Trades' Unions, they will not gain much by legislation. Arbitration would be no advantage to men who cannot endure any rival in authority or power. It cannot be too widely understood that it is the in terest of the men rather than the masters which is concerned in these trials. No doubt employers in all trades have been much to blame in many in stances. In fact, before the men had found out their strength by combination they were often oppressed and not fairly remunerated. But the danger is now altered. The masters are very un likely at the present day to attempt to grind down their men ; they are far more likely, as has been proved in Sheffield, to make weak concessions for the sake of keeping peace. There is no longer so strong a union among employers as formerly. Competition in all trades has grown so strong, foreign rivals are so formidable, and their goods so easily attainable, that they cannot, as they think, afford to risk a strike, and thus, unless there be a large question at issue involving the risk of heavy pecuniary loss, the men are likely to get their own way without much trouble. It is so in all the minor cases affecting themselves, such as the employment of a given number of appren tices, the purchase of tools, the subscription to the unions, &c. The masters, when the question is raised, are more anxious to see that their own en gagements are not interrupted than to take care of the individual rights of workmen. This was abun dantly shown in the evidence before the Royal Com mission, which proved that men of superior abilities could not hope to retain employment, however use ful to their employers, if the unionists set their faces against it. The employment of non-unionists is just one of those cases in which the interests of the workmen suffer. With very few exceptions the masters employ the union men, and the few who try to break the spell often get weary of 'the struggle and give up. Thus the unions, so far from protect ing the rights of the workmen, really base their strength upon fear. The masters employ Union men for fear of hindrance and disturbance to their business, and consequent loss. The men join the Union, because, if they do not, they have great difficulty in finding employment, and are every where at a disadvantage. When the spokesmen of the Unions talk about their immense numerical strength, we should like to know how many have joined voluntarily, and how many because they could not help it, or feared the consequences of standing aloof. As Mr. Serjeant BALLAN TINE yesterday observed, it is as much for the interest of the workmen as of the masters that the present system of terrorism should cease. The principle of combination has been carried to an excess which threatens, now that the public attention is aroused, to break up the unions altogether. From a protective association they have become an absolute and irresponsible power, enunciating, in the name of the workmen, theories which no master would dare to maintain. The leaders are anxious to maintain their as cendancy, and Mr. PorrEn, in his recent letter, urges upon all the new constituencies to return men who will support the Unions; so that we are to have the Unions obtruding them selves into Parliament, and all our legislation, national, foreign, and domestic, is to be measured by their standard. We have too much reliance on the good sense and right feeling of the classes newly admitted to the franchise to believe they would make o ‘ s y o t h u e n i rw views i r e t h w y s a of us t e he of pu th b e li i c r g p o r o iv a ile to ge t s he as to dic tates of any body of men whatever. Mr. BROADHEAD yesterday received a lesson which appears to have been much needed. It seems quite impossible to convince that gentleman that there is any flaw in his conduct, or that his followers are justified in looking upon him with aversion and horror. Perhaps according to the old adage of judging others by our selves, he thinks that what he has done all men would do if they thought it to their interest, and had the opportunity and the courage. He applied for a renewal of his licence, and when it was very na turally refused by the bench, his solicitor was quite ready with law and argument, and reproach and appeal to dispute their decision. Mr. BROADIIEAD has been, said his representative, a licensed victual ler for about 20 years, during which time no com plaint has been made against him. Further, under standing that the proceedings before the Commission of Inquiry had something to do with the matter, the solicitor produced the certificate of indemnity, which he contended guarded his client against all cousequences—civil, criminal, or social, which might otherwise result from the disclosures. With all due respect to the commission and the commis sioners, we may safely affirm that it is simply im possible to guarantee a man from the consequences of his acts ! The social relations are beyond law ; and if we take the matter iu is legal aspect quite enough was proved against BROADIIEAD - by other parties to condemn him. Had it been otherwise we should not have had much of his evidence. If a man proved guilty of such enormous crimes is to be admitted as a fit and proper person for a license our standard of public morality must be low indeed ! Moral reprobation, says Mr. SuGG, has nothing to do with the case, and no doubt his client is somewhat at a loss to under stand the meaning of the phrase. Nevertheless, there is such a thing as a moral sense left in England, and we trust that the honest indignation of his fellow-townsmen will awaken Mr. BROAD HEAD from his comfortable security that right and and ga a sorealcleratliifikceateof long in a d s em th n e iv they escape th pet e a he s la ie w n , that thing as a certificate of character. The Queen has been pleased to confer upon Major Greig, Chief Constable of Liverpool, the civil honour of Companion of the Bath. This is understood to to a recognition of his able services in connection with the suppression of the Fenian outbreak. POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES.--For some time past complaints have been received by the Postmaster-General of letters containing money and other valuable property being missed from the Dorchester branch office, and a short time ago Mr. W. E. Hows.m, travelling inspector of the missing letter branch, proceeded there for the purpose of making inquiries respecting the matter. Having obtained a clue, he made up several " test letters," addressed to Bridgwater, Bristol, and other places, for which the letters would have to pass through and be sorted at the Dorchester office, and the result has been that a young man named James Burgess, whose parents are respectably connected in Reading, has been arrested on a charge of stealing two re gistered letters, the money, which hail. been marked by the inspector, having been found in his possession. He was brought before the bbrough magistrates on Wednesday, and the evidence having been taken, he was committed for trial on both charges at the next Dorchester Assizes in March ant, CORRESPO. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Cabinet Ministers assembled in council yes day at the hotel of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, and Public Worship. The evening Moniteur has some interesting new facts and commentaries upon foreign incidents. That journal says : " Public opinion in Austria is much moved at the delicate and noble idea which inspired the journey of the Emperor Napoleon to that country. The pubUc are right in seeing in it not only homage to the memory of a Prince who is the object of univer sal regret, but a proof of the sentiments of high esteem and friendship which the two Monarchs mutually exhibit towards each other. " A few days before his departure for Salzburg the Emperor Francis Joseph gave an audience to members of the two delegations of the Reichsrath of Vienna and the Diet of Pesth. They expressed to his Majesty the hope that, thanks to a mutual spirit of goodwill, those two assemblies will agree respect ing the regulation of affairs in common connected with the Austrian Monarchy, and will consecrate, in a practical point of view, the compromise so happily suggested between the Crown and the Magyar nation. Their labours were animated by a spirit of patriotism. " The Federal Council has commenced its sittings at Berlin. Count Bismarck presided at the inaugu ration on the 15th inst. Several official documents, among others the Customs Treaty with the Southern States, were communicated to the assembly. " The King of Greece, George the First, who is now in London, will shortly return to Denmark,' and from thence will proceed to St. Petersburg, where will be celebrated in the course of the month of September his marriage with the Grand Duchess Olga, daughter of the Grand Duke Constantine, and niece of the Emperor Alexander of Russia. " The King of ,Sweden on leaving Paris went to Holland to meet the Queen his wife, who is the / daughter of Prince Frederic, uncle of the King of the Netherlands. Their Swedish Majesties then - proceeded to Berlin, where they arrived on Monday last. " King Victor Emmanuel has given his assent to the law relative to the liquidation of ecclesiastical pro perty. Tranquillity continues to reign in the Pon tifical States, and the agitation which extreme par ties endeavoured to fomentin Italy has hitherto had no other effect than to display the good sense of the Roman population and their regard for the Holy Father. MM PARIS. PARIS, Aug. 23. and Co. have excelled themselves in the production of this masterpiece. Indeed, they have done more, for there it stands as a work of art and skill which the French press admits to be " unrivalled." This fact may be fairly and truly pronounced as one of the most important results of the Exhibition. The weather has been refreshing and agreeable to-day, but somewhat unsettled. Monday last, according to the observations taken, was the hottest day of the year. Reaumur's thermometer at mid day marked 28 deg. 7-10ths. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) TUE IMPERIAL MEETING. SALZBURG, Aug. 23. To-day the Emperor Napoleon gave an audience to llerr Scindler, a member of the Lower House of the Reichsrath, and conversed with him on the position of affairs in Austria. The Emperor Francis Joseph has received the French editor, M. Arnould. In addressing him his Majesty expressed the assurance that the meet ing between the two Emperors would greatly cement the good relations existing between Austria and France. Large numbers of orders have been conferred upon the members of both suites. The Sovereigns leave Salzburg to-day. ITALY. FLORENCE, Aug. 23. Signor Corti, at present Italian Minister Pleni potentiary at Stockholm, has been appointed Min ister at Madrid. Signor Artom has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary at Copenhagen. ARRIVAL OF THE CHINA. QUEENSTOWN, AUG. 23. The Royal Mail steamship China, from Boston and Halifax, arrived here to-day at 2.15 a.m. with 127 cabin passengers and 14,021 dollars in specie. She landed all the mails, except those for Liverpool, and a portion of the Scotch and two passengers. She proceeded for Liverpool, at 2.30 a.m. All well. MEXICO. " Some time ago a Ministerial crisis appeared to be imminent at Bucharest. The anticipation has now been realised. The rigorous treatment of the Jews seems to have had something to do with the crisis. Upon the refusal of M. Bosiano to ac cept the office, Prince Charles confided the task of forming a new Cabinet to M. Etienne Golesco." In the course of Tuesday the Emperor Napoleon, accompanied by Field Marshal the Prince de la Taxis, went to pay a visit to King Louis 1., of Bavaria, at Leopoldskron. Tne Grand Duke of Hesse, who had arrived on the previous evening, was also present. The King Louis 1., to whom the visit was made by the Emperor, was born at Stras bourg on the 25th of August, 1786. After having occupied the throne of Bavaria for 23 years, he abdicated in favour of his son King Maximilian, on the 20th of March, 1818. He is the grandfather of the present King of Bavaria. His sister, the Prin cess Auguste Amelie, married Prince Eugene de Beauharmais, in 1806. The Empress of the French, accompanied by the Empress Elizabeth, has paid a visit of condolence to the Archduchess Sophia, at Ischl. It was a formal but cordial visit to Maximilian's mother. The Paris papers continue to expend conjectures and flights of imagination in regard to the sup pcsed objects of the interview at Salsbourg be tween the two Emperors. As to the Austrian papu.s they deny that Austria has any d,sire or intention to contract any engagement with the Emperor Napoleon in reference to Ger many. Austria, they say, will not t ,ke any step which might precipitate a war. The only circumstance which would induce Austria to enter into a strict and formal treaty with France would be the conclusion of such a treaty between Russia and Prussia. On the other hand, M. Bismarck's organ, the Gazette of Northern Germany, contains an im portant article, the object of which is to create a belief that there is nothing political in the meeting of the Sovereigns at Salzbourg. That paper says : —" It would be to display all the want of tact ex hibited by some journalists to attribute to the Emperor Napoleon any ulterior view in his visit, or to imagine the preparation of an alliance with Austria precisely at the moment when the Imperial family of that empire still mourns for the tragical end of one of its members implicated in the pro gress of French political events, and when the poli tical situation of Europe does not invite such an alliance in any possible way.' , The Gazette then refers to the recent article in the Journal des Debats, of which I gave you an outline, and describes the view attributed to Austria as a hash of old absur dities. It adds—" As to the treaty of Prague, Prussia maintains her rights in reference to it in and it is precisely prevent Austria from re tthhaetmtorestatcyonwshciieenhtlivoouusldmapnrneve suming her sway over the Federal affairs of Ger many." The Gazette then refers to the supposition of a treaty between Prussia and Russia, and says that such a treaty would not be thought of by Prussia unless it were first required by the provo cation of her adversaries. The Journal des Debats has a commentary upon this article, the assertions of which it describes as " rather bold," meaning, it is to be presumed, that there is no foundation for them. An affecting ceremony took place on Tuesday, the Archbishop of Paris having pronounced a benedic tion over the new charitable schools in the quarter of the Muette ; 2,500 children were present, grouped by school and division. After the pastoral blessing prizes were awatded. A peculiar solemnity was given to the proceedings by the presence of three eminent prelates of the East and their suite, the Archbishop of Tyre and Sidon, the Archbishop of Balbert, and the Emir of the Maronites, the venerable patriarch of Antiocha. They were desirous to give to the inhabitants of the 16th arrondissement a mark of their peculiar interest, and to express to their mayor, Baron de Bonnemains, their thanks for the devoted assistance they had given to their country by representing it at the Universal Exhibition. A German paper says that a breviary of St. Reni, Archbishop of Rheims, has just been dis covered at Prague. Cardinal Rodriguey,Tatriarch of Lisbon, has just died in that city in his 67th year. The shooting season will commence in the central districts of France on the Ist of September, and on the other parts on the 10th of the month. For a few days an article of surpassing beauty and manufacturing skill has been the wonder and admiration both of English and French at the Ex hibition. It is the Tennyson Vase, which has come from the famed establishment of Messrs. C. F. Hancock, Son, and Co., of Burton-street, and was manufactured expressly for the Exhibition, although circumstances delayed its arrival there. It is a vase of large dimensions, costly, and of exquisite form and manufacture. It is in massive silver, partly gilt, and was designed and modelled by the cele brated sculptor, 11. 11. Artnstead. This great work of art is intended to illustrate the " Death of Arthur " and " Guinevre." The first subject of the medallion is the conflict between King Arthur and Sir Modre. 'rhe second medallion represents the " sombre barque." The figures of Merlin and Guinevre are peculiarly expressive. Among the other details are two monstrous dragoons fighting.

The French papers, usually very cautious of giving the superiority to English artizaus of objects of taste and luxury, eulogize this production as a chef d'cruvre, and even the Muniteur, which may be con sidered as speaking in the character of an official writer, could not help paying its tribute of admira tion, thus admitting that there is nothing superior to this YAW at the Exhibition.

KELSO, Wednesday Evening. As intimated by telegraph, the Royal train was an hour and 40 minutes late on reaching Kelso sta tion this morning, not coming in till 11.20. The delay is ascribed to a fact calculated to occasion no little anxiety in the public wind. It was, it is said, discovered only yesterday evening that the new state carriage of her Majesty is built too wide for the bridges, or some of them, on the Waverley route. Providentially it was suggested to examine whether or not this was the case, and the gauge of the car riage having been taken, it was applied and found to be too large for the structural works on this line. Whether the new royal carriage be too large, or the works on this railway be too small, there is presented to the public mind a new source of danger in rail way travelling, and a peril just escaped of a mo mentous kind. It had on Tuesday been arranged that the programme should be so far altered as that the Queen, instead of stopping at Riccarton, should breakfast at Carlisle, but this could only account for a small portion of the long delay that occurred, nor could it account for the fact that at Carlisle the Queen's new saloon carriage was replaced by another of smaller dimensions, in which the journey was satisfactory accomplished. The Queen and Royal party were received at the station by the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord-Lieutenant of Roxburghshire, also by Major-General Hamilton and the members of the North British staff ; Colonel Roche, Inspector of Volunteers ; and Capt. Graham, Aide-de-Camp ; Mr. Rutherford, Sheriff of the county ; and Mr. F. Russell, Sheriff Substitute. The party from Floors Castle to meet the Queen were the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe, the Marquis of Bowmont, and Lord Charles Innes Ker. Sir George Douglas, commanding the local adminis trative battalion of Volunteers, was also at the sta tion, and Captain Boycott was in command of the escort of the 14th Hussars. The party at the station passed the time as best they could during the prolonged detention ; while the people on the line of route waited with admirable order and patience. The playing of the Volunteer and other bands was the only amusement during the interval, but there is a pleasure in seeing and being seen, and, notwithstanding the unexpected delay, the ranks of the people lining both sides of the way, and which had been formed and consoli dated before nine o'clock, remained unbroken till the Queen passed through the town. At 15 minutes past 11 a gun from Roxburgh Castle indicated that the Royal train had passed Maison Dieu, about a mile west of Kelso. In a minute or two the Royal train drew up at Kelso Station, where Her Majesty was received in a very neat pavilion. It was hung with red and white calico with green fringe, with tartan hangings out side, and was lined with rich conservatory plants, sent for the occasion by the Duke of Buccleuch. Mats of heather were spread over the crimson carpeting for Her Majesty in alighting from the train and ascending to her carriage. On Her Majesty stepping out the Duchess of Roxburgho knelt, and as her Grace rose up Her Majesty most affectionately kissed her. The Queen then turned to the Duke of Roxburghe, to whom she held out her hand, which his Grace kissed, and then turning to the Duke of Buccleuch paid him the same com pliment. Her Majesty seemed in good spirits, and evidently in excellent health. A ringing cheer arose from the assemblage as the Royal party left the station, which they did in the following order :- 1. The Queen's carriage, containing the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Princess Christian, her Royal Highness the Princess Louise, and the Duchess of Roxburghe. 2. Barouche.—Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, his Royal Highness Prince Christian, and the Duke of Roxburghe. 3. Landau.—Lady Churchill, Lord Charles Fitz . roy, the Marquis of Bowrnont, and the Duke of Marlborough. 4. Chariot.—Prince Christian Victor and two you all the days of your life, and that your dwell.. ing place at last be in the House of God for ever,' is the earnest prayer of your Majesty's most humble, loyal, and attached subjects the magistrates and inhabitants of Kelso.—ln name and by their autho rity, " G. CRAIG, Senior Magistrate." Her Majesty's progress onwards to Floors Castle was a continuous triumph. She arrived at Kelso at 11.35, and reached Floors about 15 minutes afterwards. As she alighted the royal standard was displayed on the tower, which was the signal for a royal salute being fired from Roxburghe Castle. The afternoon was spent by her Majesty in a walk through the gardens of Floors, and in com memoration of her visit she planted a young tree in the terrace in front of the castle. Her Majesty took tea in the ladies' parlour, adjoining the conserva tory with the Duke and Duchess and several mem bers of the royal party. His grace's band, under the leadership of Mr. Oliver, played in the east end of the terrace during her Majesty's visit to the grounds. In the evening there was a general illumination in Kelso. The town-hall dome was lit with paraf fin lamps, the bridge on the Floors side was out lined in light, and Floors Castle was also illumi nated. On a signal being given the beacon fires on the hill tops over a wide extent of country were lit up, there being no fewer than 13 bonfires on the Duke of Roxburghe's estates, and the fires may be said to have ranged from the Eildons to the Cheviots. EDINBURGH, Aug. 22. To-day the Queen spent the whole of the fore noon within the grounds at Floors, and at 10 mi nutes past 3 drove to Melrose Abbey. In the town of Melrose vast crowds from Galashiels and neigh bouring places had assembled and gave Her Ma- jesty an enthusiastic reception. After spending some time among the ruins of the Abbey the Royal party drove by Dornick Tower to Abbotsford, three miles distant. At Abbotsford Mr. and Lady Victoria Hope Scott received Her Majesty and conducted her through the apartments of Sir Walter Scott. On the return journey the Queen drove by the north bank of the Tweed to the Floors, which was reached after dusk and in the midst of heavy rain. We understand that on further inquiry it was found that the Queen's State carriage would pass along the Waverley route, and an experimental journey was made with it to-day from Carlisle to Tarbert, and it passed the bridges with ease. There has been an error in the gauge applied to the works on the line. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, August 21.

TILE ORGANISED TRADES OF SIIEFFIELD AND THE SAW GRINDERS' UNION.—Who following is the resolution which was pissed by the Executive of the Association of Organised Trades of Sheffield on Wednesday night "'That this Executive has read with pain and regret the resolutions purporting to have been passed at a meeting of the Saw Grinder& Union on the 13th inst., and hereby expresses its conviction that the said resolutions amount, if not to a justification, at least to a palliation, of the dia bolical acts perpetrated by Broadhead and his wicked ac complices, and that the Society of Saw Grinders, by passing such resolutions become accomplices in the destruction of property, personal violence, and murder for trade purposes; and that this Executive, viewing such deeds with the ut most abhorrence and disgust, assures the said Society of Saw Grinders that till they have purged themselves from such abominable practices, which are an outrage on humanity as well as on trade societies, and the working classes generally, and further, till they have shown by their conduct contrition for their past misdeeds and give a guarantee that for the future such fiendish practices shall be discountenanced by the said society, the Executive of the Association of Organised Trades cannot and will not hold communion with, or bo in any way, either directly or indirectly, connected with that society." A PERILOUS ADVENTURE.—On Sunday three young gentlemen loft North Berwick with tbo intention of walking to Tantallon CAstle by the rocks. On reaching a point near their destination, however, they found, from the state of the tide, that they must either retrace their steps a proceeding in itself attended with some danger, as the tido was making rapidly—or attempt the ascent of the cliffs, which at that part are almost perpendicular, although accessible enough when viewed from beneath. One of the party chose the former, the others the latter, alternative, r.ed, as it proved, the more dangerous of the two. With the gr, .ttest difficulty they reached within about 15ft. of the summit, when they found it impossible, from the nature of the ground, to proceed further together. With the assistance of his companion, the slighter of the two succeeded in scrambling to the ledge ; but so much had the earth close to the top been loosened by his doing so that he was shocked to find, on looking back, the ascent was now made totally impracticable for his friend,who now was in a most perilous position. Retreat was impossible ; one single false step, indeed, would have resulted in certain destruction. his more fortunate companion, unable to do more than beg him to remain perfectly quiet, at once went for help, and at a neighbouring farm-house procured ropes, and the assistance of a man. Returning quickly to the spot, he found his friend still clinging to the cliff, and by this time much exhausted. The ropes were then thrown round him, and with considerable difficulty he was at length safoly brought to tho top.—Scotsman. nurses. 5. Coach.—Hon. Miss Phipps, Miss Bauer, and Mdlle. Norelle. 6. Waggonette.—Sir Thomas Biddulph, Colonel Gordon, Dr. Jenner, Mr. Duckworth, and Lord Charles Innes Ker. The Duke of Buccleuch and Major-General Hamilton rode right and left of the Queen's car- riage. The procession, fortunately for the numerous spectators, moved very slowly, and as all the car riages were open, the Royal party were well seen. The cortege was preceded by outriders in scarlet livery, who served to the multitude as heralds of the Queen's approach. At Maxwellheugh there was a very hearty reception given to her Majesty, but from this point until reaching the town there was little to divert the Royal visitors' attention from the picturesque scenerywhich here bursts upon the view. From the bridge the Tweed is seen at the grandest point of its course, just at its junction with the Teviot, and, with its richly wooded banks, forms a picture of rare beauty. At the town end of the bridge there is a splendid view of Floors Castle, standing on a fine terrace overhanging the river. Her Majesty had here to encounter the loyal throng that crowded the little town from end to end, and, passing under the first triumphal arch, she en countered fifty damsels all in white scattering flowers upon her path. Her Majesty most gra ciously acknowledged the salutations which greeted her on all sides as she passed onwards. Hats and handkerchiefs were waved in thousands, and with a zeal and heartiness which had full vent, while bou quets almost showered into the Royal carriage. On reaching the Square the Queen's carriage was drawn up to the magistrates' platform, where Mr. Craig, chief magistrate, handed to her the address of the inhabitants which her Majesty received with a few words expressive of gratification, and inti mating that an answer would be sent. At this point, while the whole square was alive with loyal excitement, and while the huzzas were long and loud, Mr. Tait, the Baron Baillie, lifted his little daughter to the carriage, who gracefully presented a magnificent bouquet with which she was provided. Her Majesty graciously accepted the gift, and by the happy expression of her countenance perfectly charmed the spectators, who now cheered more lustily than ever ; and a hearty cheer was given to the Duke of Roxburghe, to whom the people of the Border were indebted for the Royal visit. The ad dress to her Majesty was in the following terms : "To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. "May it please your Majesty,—" We, your Majesty's most faithful subjects, the magistrates and inhabitants of the burgh of Kelso, hail with the highest satisfaction your Majesty's gracious visit to the noble family of Roxburghe, so long and highly esteemed in our country ; and crave permission on the auspicious occasion of your Majesty passing through this ancient town to express our most loyal and devoted attachment to your Majesty and to all the members of the Royal family. " It affords us the greatest gratification that your Majesty has been pleased thus to honour a locality which, whether with reference to its history, its na tural beauty, its venerable abbeys, or the interest which the writings of Leyden and Thomson, and, above all, the immortal Scott, have conferred on it, is one of which we are justly proud ; and we are happy to think that, interesting as its annals already are, one of their brightest pages will be that recording the visit of a Queen so truly and de servedly loved, under whose reign the country has been so blessed and prosperous. We venture to assure your Majesty that in no part of the British dominions is there more real and heartfelt devotion to their Queen than among the inhabitants of the Scottish Borders ; and your Majesty's irreparable sorrow, in which all have sympathised, has but ren dered the feeling more deep and sacred. " That God may crown your Majesty with all temporal and spiritual blessings, and long preserve your Majesty and all the members of your illustri ous family ; that g09C1J054 Aud mercy may tau? DEBTOR.

(iSgned) ROITLAND. Mr. Moncrieff, M.P., and Bishop Coleus°. Mr. Moncrieff has at length replied to Bishop Colenso's letter of May 10. He says :—" It is no question as to verbal or plenary inspiration which separates us. You disclaim the popular traditional sense of the term inspiration. The meaning you do attribute to it, if it be not equally applicable to all author who inculcates truth or holiness or virtue, I have not been able to gather from your expres sions. I cannot, therefore, admit that I did your lordship anything but justice in the representatio n I made of your views ; and I have no doubt that the public accepted that representation in the only sense in which it was made. On the infallibility of Scripture I say nothing, because here, as on the question of inspiration, your language is entirely ambiguous. You may either mean that parts of it are fallible, or that no part of it is infallible ; that If it is not all reliable, or that it is wholly unreliable. your opinion is expressed by the first of these alter natives, it would be desirable to know with preei' sion what parts of it you regard as infallib le and reliable. If by the second, any Itir ther dispute would seem to be superfluous. ICI IO second ground of complaint is, that I said that yo ur lordship's doubts aro strange to be entertained by a bishop of the Church of England. Excuse rao for still thinking that they are so, and entertain in g and expressing that opinion without implying any Pe r sonal discourtesy. If the views your lordship ha ° published are the teaching of the Church of Beg land—l speak of her teaching, not of her law, e i, c her want of law—if the Church of England too a her people that the Pentateuch is partly a myth al 3 partly a forgery, positively false in most respee tB .i and possibly false in all, I was wrong. But these books are read in the hearing of the cong r f; gation as the Word of God, in order that t people may accept what they contain as revea% by God himself ; and if in the very Articles of tta Church they are, with the rest of the canon, referrost to repeatedly as the only infallible standard, I the be allowed to think it strange that a bishop of i s Church should teach his flock that this s tander u _ mainly false in itself, and its suppo sed inspiratiotnto delusion and a dream. lam sorry, therefore, be able to give the retractation which your lords P has done me the honour to ask for."
