Last night an aggregate meeting of the farmers of the county of Buckingham was held at the " George" Hotel, in this town, under the auspices of the linyal Central Bucks Agricultural Association, to discuss matters connected with the strike of farm labourers at Gawcott, the system of agricultural gangs, labourers' cottages, education in the rural districts, and other topics now occupying public at tention. There was a large attendance, including some of the most eminent agriculturists of the district, and Mr. E. M. Major Lucas presided. Mr. W. BROWN, secretary of the Tring (fleets) Agricul tural Society, read a lengthy paper. He referred to a let ter from the Rev. Canon Girdlestone, saying that at Hal berton, Devon, the rate of wages Lad been only 7s. or Bs. per week, and even this was not always paid in cash ; and that out of this miserable pittance the labourer had mostly to pay rent, the remainder being supposed to furnish him with fuel, food, and clothing. Did any farmer present be lieve this ? (No, no.) Ile knew enough about Devon, but in his native county of Dorset wages were supposed to be equally low; and he had heard that a general rise in wages was to be demanded there. H o h a d, h owever, as certained that in 'that county labourers had' 'houses and gardens, and extra land cultivated, all free. The wages paid to shepherds was lls. per week, and ld. for every lamb bred; half a hogshead of cyder during hay and harvest. Carters 10s. and one pound and a hogshead of liquor for the summer. Other men Bs. per week; women, 45.; boys, 2s. to 6s. The great desire of the labourers there was to raise the price of piece-work, not to earn more money, but to do less of it for the same sum. Going into other counties he found that in Wiltshire wages wore 10s. per week, stackmen having is. extra, with cottages rent free, potato-ground, and other perquisites, the summer work beirg done by the piece. In Berks wages were 12s. per week, cowmen having in addition free cottages, firing, vegetables, and table beer, equal altogether to 18s. per week all the year round, making on an average of several years a farmer's labour to cost, including haytime and har vest, 355. per acre. As to Gawcott, in this county, where what was termed the strike had occurred, ti - letter had been written by Mr. Barge, of Ilillesden, close by, which put a very different construction on the matter. He had received independent and reliable information confirming Mr. Barge's statement, viz., wages of carters, shepherds, and cowmen, 12s. per week, in some cases 138. and 14e. These, of course, had Sunday duties. Ordinal) , men had lls. per week, and in fine weather they could insure 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. per day. Boys went to work at 9 and 10 years old, the girls to service of lacemork. On an average a man with five children would have two fit fvr work, who would earn ss. to 7s. per week, thus making an aggregate income of from ltis. to 20s. per week. In tire dairy farms milk was b..tiled each morning, and on Satur day evening. The rents of cottages varied. Several had cottages' and plots of garden-ground at 50s. per annum, whereas others had to pay 60s. without a garden. There could be no objection to men trying to bettor themselves by removing from places where there was surplus. labour to districts where labour was more in reque , 4 at better wages, but he doubted if strikes were necessary for that purpose, or if the advice and assistance to emigrate either promoted the happiness of the labourer or benefited his native coun try. The difficulty of the whole question of labourers' wages might be overcome by adopting the plan of paying men by piece-work wherever practicable, and this had be come necessary now that the steam-plough and modern farming appliances had come into vogue. The discussion which ensued was taken up spiritedly by a great many of the farmers. The proceedings terminated at a late hour. BRITISH INDIA. - A. blue-book of 72 pages has just been issued, which may probably be regarded as the first of an annual series a statistical abstract relating to British India. It describes British India as having an area of 95.5,238 square miles, and a population estimated at 144,674,615 ; the native States an area of 596,790 squa r e miles, and a populat io n of 47,909,199; States under French Government 188 square miles, and 203,887 i n habitants; States under the Portuguese Governineut, 1,066 square miles, and 3113,262 inhabitants—making a grand total of 1,553,282 square miles, with a population of 193,100,963. The population of Calcutta, according -to the census of January, 1866, was 377,924 ; of the town of Bombay, according to the census . of February, 1864, 816,562; of the town of Madras, according to the administrative report for 1863, 427,771 The commercial progress of British India of late years has been astonishing. In the financial year 1840-41 the mer chandise imported by sea from foreign countries was of the value of £8,415,940 ; i n 1860-61 it had risen to £23,493,716; is 1864-65 it was £28,150,923, in addition to £21,363,352 of treasure. In the year 1848-49 cotton goods of the value of £2,222,089 were imported into BritiSh India; in the year 1864-65 of the value of £11,035,885. The exports of merchandise from British India increased from £13,155,584 in the year 1840-41 to £32,970,605 in 1860-61, and to £68,027,016 in 1861-65. This last increase was, of course, due chiefly to the effect of the American civil war ; in the year 1859-60 the export of raw cotton from British India amounted in value to £5,637,624, in 1864-65 to £37,573,637. The other chief ex ports in 1864-65 wore opium £9,911,804, rice £5,573,587 , seeds £1,912,433, indigo £1,860,141, jute £1,307,844. The United Kingdom took £7,054,388 worth of the exports in 1840-41, and £46,873,208 in 1864-65. Exports of the value of £10,874,652 in this last year went to China and Japan, a ß t n r l o t British e d v e t s o s g e l o s t i o n r t t o hat lo y ,9 ea l r l n y t e o pe n In rl , B and £2,902,596 to France.

In India tons the year 1864-5, 2,747 miles of railway were opened in India, and conveyed 12,826,518 passengers. There were 1,421 post-offices, and 55,986,646 covers were transmitted through tho post, besides books and p arce l s. 17 , 1 17 sc h oo l s and colleges were maintained or aided by the Government; the average attendance of pupils in them was 435,898, and the Government expenditure upon them £391,277. X 4,473,263 was expended in the year upon public works. 11,736 miles of Government telegraph lines were open. The gross public revenue of British India increased from £20,124,038 in the financial year 183940, to £45,652,897 in 1864-65 ; and the expenditure from £22,228,011 in the former year to £26,450, 990 in the latter. The public debt advanced from £34,484,9 97 in 1839-46, to £98,477,555 in 1864-65. Thu troops employed in British India in the former year wore 35,604 Europeans and 199,839 natives ; iu 1861-65 71,880 Europeans and 118,315 natives. Rumours were again freely circulating that a Fenian attack would be m ado on tho chief frontier towns on tho opening of navigation , and every preparation Ivan accordingly being made to meet any emergency. Large quantities of cannon and small arm service ammunition, wo are informed, were daily being forwarded westward from Quebec garrison under guards, for tho supply of the out-lyllig military posts along the exposed portions of the frontier. The provincial gunboats—Alfred, Rescue, Her - cules—are to be manned exclusively by crews belonging to the Royal Navy and commanded by officers of the same service. In all, there will be, with the 'three Imperial gunboats, six vessels of war on the lakes at the opening of the navigation. LARGE SILVER WINING DIVIDENDS.—Five silver mining companies working on the Consteck lode, Nevada, declared dividends for the month of January, amounting to £56,800, and for February amounting to £51,200. These large dividends were made for the last favourable two months in the year. The "Yellow Jacket," with a capital of £6,000, paid £12,000 in dividends for January ; this is •t the rate of 240 per cent. per annum. " The Savage," with a capital of £21,000, paid dividends January and February, each month amounting to £16,000, at the rate of 814 per cent. per annum, and the "Imperial," with a capital of £9,300, declared dividends for January of £6,400, or at . the rate of 783 per annum, and for February er at the rate of 1,176 . per cent.' per The beforeexaminatio ef n Al‘,tas.

Ile joined the society in 1859, before the great strike of that year, and he joined it, not because he found it stand in his way by hindering him from making the best of his ability, but because he decided to throw his lot in with the society in obtaining a reduction of the hours of labour. The wages fixed by•the society were the minimum of what a skilled man ought to receive; but, though employers were not bound to limit themselves to this lament, and might give as much more as they liked yet they seldom did so, unless it was to make a man a " bell-horse" , to lead his fellows on to do more work than they properly could — a form of " chasing,, as it was termed among the masons. A foreman might' give a good and more than ordinarily skilled man an extra hour a day, but this was, be said, an underhand way of paying a man. There was no objection to a man doing as much work as h e could ; but the men decidedly objected to the " chasing" principle, and they also decidedly objected to piecework where a man got lower wages than the minimum. The men would object to work w ith a non-societ y man who received less tha n the minimum wages. The evidence seemed further to point out that there was not among the bricklayers so much arbitrary exclusion as among the masons, and one pleasing fact came out. Mr. Roebuck asked, " Sup posing that a man were sick and enfeebled by bad health, but still a very good workman, he could not do perhaps so much as other men. Supposing he were to ask for work and to take less wages, would you object to that ?" Witness—Yes ; but in such a case, this is what the men would do. In the first place the foreman, if he were a foreman of any judg ment whatever, would put himwhere his skill would be made available without any great injury to his health. In the next place, there are but few men who would not feel pleasure in adding a brick each to enable the man to do the ordinary amount of work. Supposing five workmen were working on what is called a line, those fivemen would divide the whole length of the building into five spaces, and if one man was known to be ill or feeble, the other four would, as a rule, leave him the smallest portion of that work. They would do that naturally and without any hesitation." The witness stated further that the union had increased wages, lowered the hours of labour, and tended to decrease drunken ness among the men. Mr. R. Applegarth, the secretary of the Amalga mated Society of Carpenters and Joiners, was exa mined at very great length. He said the society had 189 branches and 8,261 members, and its income in 1865 was £10,487 155., and its expenditure £6,733 lls. sid. The society had progressed very much during the last year, there being an increase in that period of 2,500 members. The witness then described the purposes of the society, which combines a trade and friendly society, and the purpose apparently of combining the_two is to have more influence over the members in enforc ing the trade claims, as a man ceasing to act in con formity with the rules in the trade loses his benefits. Each member subscribes a shilling per week and 3d. per quarter to a benevolent and contingent fund. " The benefits," the witness said, " are as follows : Donation benefit for 12 weeks, lOs. per week ; and for another 12 weeks, 6s. per week. For leaving em ployment satisfactory to branch or executive coun cil, 15s. per week ; tool benefit to any amount of loss, or when a man has been a member for only six months, £5 ; sick benefit for 26 weeks, 12s. per week, and then Gs. per week so long as this illness continues; funeral benefit £l3 or £3 lOs., when a six mouths' member dies ; accident benefit, £lOO ; superannuation benefit for life, if a member 25 years, Bs. per week ; if a member 18 years, 7s. per week ; if a member for 12 years, ss. per week. The emigra tion benefit is £6, and there are benevolent grants, according to circumstances, in cases of distress." He went on to speak of the decisions which had lately been given, declaring the rules illegal, as they acted in restraint of trade. The particular rule re ferred to was one giving 15 s . a wee k t o a m e mb e r " leaving his employment under circumstances satis factory to the branch or executive council." By that rule the executive were enabled to withdraw men from work on any pretext they thought satisfactory, and this rule was acted upon about a dozen times a year, and involved from 20 to 100 men leaving their work. The money paid under this head was nearly a third of the whole expenditure of the society, being in 1865 £1,941 Bs. lid. ; but in this was included money paid for law expenses in enabling men to ob tain "privileges of trade." With respect to strikes there was one last year not acknowledged by the society at Manchester. That strike was not sanc tioned by the executive, because they " disapproved of a strike at that time on account of the monetary crisis," but the society was forced to support some men through it, as masters locked out some who did not strike. The strike was successful, as by it the men had obtained an advance of 2s. a week, and an hour reduction of time. There was another strike at Torquay, and this was successful, and the cir cumstances which hd to this strike were drawn out by Mr. Roebuck, who asked if there was any influx of business to the masters on that occasion, to which the witness answered " We have our monthly trades' reports, of which I have furnished the Commissioners with a copy, in which you will find the state of trade stated to be good, bad, or indifferent, as the case may be, from month to month, and year to year ; that is the ground on w hich we ju dge of the condition of the trade. In the part icu l a r casein question there was every reason to believe that the men were going to have a busy summer, and, com paring things there with other towns near them, we felt that they were underpaid, and the state of trade would warrant an increase of wages." Mr. Roe buck.—" So that the strike really origin ated in Witness Torquay 'out of the brisknes s of trade r " Yes." Mr. Roeb uck. —"And the briskness of trade on the part of the masters caused the men to ask for an increase of wag es ?" Witness.—" Yes." Mr. Roebuck.—" Do the men in time of depression of trade ever mention to the masters a diminution of wages ?" Witness. —" It is not very natural that men should mention it ; but I can refer to instances where men have agreed to it where it has been men tioned to them by the masters." Mr. Roebuck.-, " Do not they usually refuse it ?" Witness.—" Yes, they do not like a reduction of their wage, of course." Mr. Roebuck.—" They take advantage of the briskness of trade on the part of the masters to ask for an increase of wage, but they do not like that the masters should take advantage (if you call it an advantage) of the slackness of trade to lower the wage ?" Witness. —" They do take advantage of a briskness of trade to ask for an increase, and they do not like a reduction any more than we suppose the employers like to pay an increase." The witness entered at length into the history of other strikes made for the advance of wages and decrease of hours. On some other questions of interfering with a manes to the work he should do, and referring particularly to a prohibition of men doing any work after hours for their employers customers, the follow ing examination took place :—Mr. Roebuck asked "So that you do really interfere with a man's judg meat of his own interests ; you say, ' We, the trade, interfere and tell you that you shall not be governed by your own judgment ?' " Witness—" In matters like that we believe it to be on the whole very in jurious for the men to act in that way." Mr. Roe buck--" What do you mean by injurious ?'" " Witness--" We believe that when a man has done a day's work he has done sufficient." Mr. I:oebuck—" Do you not suppose that lie is a Letter judge of that qu stion than you ?" Witness --‘2No, we do not ; we believe that the men are thoroughly selfish who act in that way." Mr. Roe buck.—" How should you like me to interfere with you as you interfere with those men ?" Witness— eambmera j o o f ri n t l y y s d o e c c i i e d t e y d , a t and a t y I o u, mustii c " o l n f j t y m o c ti t i w o :1 2 r e w a i t m h conform to certain regulations, I should be bound to do so ; but if we are all left to do as we like the sooner we dissolve our society the better." Mr. Roebuck —" Is not that bringing the opinion of the majority in all cases to govern mankind ?" Witness —" Undoubtedly, and I see no reason against it." Mr. Roebuck—" Then you think that the minority should have no voice?" . Witness—" Undoubtedly, let them have a voice, and if they have right on their side let them agitate till they convince the majority they are right." Mr. Roebuck—" But who is to decide whether they have right on their side ?" Witness 7-" The same remark marl* apiikd'to• the question of the suffrage, about ivt3io I suppose we shall have to go on agitating till we get what we wish." Mr. Roebuck—" Here is, ,we Will say, an individual man, who bas a peculiar power, who is, in fact a genius; you interefere with him and say, Your genius shall not help you, we will bring you down to the mediocrity of the society ?' Witness—" That is a mistake. I would ask whether it adds to a man's genius •to over tax his own strength." Mr. Roebuck—" Is not he the best judge of that question?" Wit ness—" No, I think not." Mr. Roebuck—" So that you would have the society a nursing mother to genius ?" Witness—" I would have a man do a fair day's work for a fair day's wage." Mr. Roe buck—" And that is the rule you lay down in your society, is it?" Witness—" Yes, and as far as we are able to carry it." He further described the so ciety as objecting to piecework, and he gave as the reason that piecework caused bad material to be used. His explanation was suggestive. He said— " On the outskirtsof London there are many villa re sidences put up by the piece. The general rule is for the employers to give a certain price for the work, and that a very low price, and they know well that the men cannot make the same rate of wages that men can get in a shop in London. The consequence is that the men have to work so much longer and to make more exertion. The employers know that the men exert themselves to throw the work together as speedily as possible, and at every opportunity they introduce indifferent material. Now, as au instance, what we term the treads (those are the boards you tread on coming upstairs) of the stairs in all good buildings are the same thickness at the back as they are at the front. You see the round edge, and that should be the thickness of the board from back to front. They make a practice here in London, and in some parts of the country also, of having the boards cut aslant in such a way that the thickness is not the same throughout. Now, when these men work by the piece, their object is to get the work as quickly thrown together as possible, and having this desire they will co ver u p and hide bad material, and the employers kno w this, and hence they introduce it. That i s onl y one instance, but many others might be given." The influence work done abroad and importe d here had upon English labour, the effects of the combinations upon capital, and instances of ratteo log'', all important matters, were then gone into at very coisiderable length. Admiral Persano has been cashiered by vote of the Italian Senate for his conduct in the action off Lissa. It seems front the evidence that the Admiral's retreat to the recesses of the rain Afnidatore contributed largely to the success of the Austrian fleet. On his own showing he once took a look at the progress of the action, leaving the Italian ships engaged to follow their own devices in fight ing the enemy. At one moment the captain of the iljon datore had made sure of a fair stroke against the side of the Austrian three-decker, and the Kaiser Max sootned, according to all human probability, likely to be rammed to the bottom of the sea. But at the critical moment Admiral Persano interfered with the rant's butt as directed by the captain, and himself taking charge of the Afonda- • tore, ordered the helm to be reversed. Finally, ho gave command for the fleet to follow the ram, and there upon retreated front the scone of action. These details, which indicate something more than want of moral nerve on the part of Persano, seem almost incredible to whoever knows anything of the bravery which he displayed in the attack on Ancona by the Italian fleet then under his corn , maud. It was Admiral Persano who decided the advance of Cialdini into the Roman States. He wrote to the General that his vessels were bad and his crews worse, that he expected the Austrian fleet to come and attack him, and that his little strength would be more use fully employed in battering the defences of „Ancona. Therewith ho declared to the General that he should be off the town on a certain day, and should attack forthwith. Cialdini accepted the rendezvous, Ad miral Persano brought his ships under fire with great gallantry, and the result is well known. Up to the battle of Lissa he was thought to he a man of daring, nay of intelligent courage. Curiously enough, the officials of the Vienna Admiralty placed no trust in Tegethoff. It was rather expected by them that he would by his blundering send the Austrian fleet to the bottom of the Adriatic. The !result of the court-martial on Persano should be soothing to Italian pride. It is evident that the disaster off Lissa I was mainly clue to the Admiral's abdication of all efficient control. The moral to be learned from the whole business appears to bo that in the next naval war victory will wait on the fleets which have the most scientific and methodical handling. The Springfield Republican remarks that the advocates of an eight-hour law who think that they have I discovered a new thing under the sun, will find their tills ? alto by reading the subjoined extract front the ancient re cords of Springfield, n:11 of which Mr. Folsom, the city clerk, is carefully copying to insure their preservation. Not only the time of labour, but the amount of wages, is limited, a conjunction that would be hardly relished now a-days. Just imagine the present City Council passing such an order as the following, which was adopted by the " plantation," December 21, 101, five years after the first settlement of,Springfield:— "It is mutually by vote agreed for ye orderinge of wages fur several labourers, viz., hus bandman, or ordinary laborers from yo first of Novembr to yo first of March to worke at 181 p day, for ye other pt of ye yearn not to take above 20d p day ; for carpenters for ye first 4 months 20d p day, foe ye other pt of ye yearn 2s p day for mowers 2s p day, for taylers 10d p day wch severall laborers aro to worke 8 hours in ye winter pt, dz 19 hovers in ye somer pt, besides eating° and sleepingo, taylors to worke 12 howrs : it is alsoo ordered for teames that they shall worke 4 cattell and ono man at 6d p day from May till Octobr to worke 8 howrs & yo other pt 6 howrs & if they carry by ye loado to work pportionably this order to continue for one wholl y : followingo on till order be taken to ye contrary. " BRAYING."—The special correspondent who writes about the Paris Exhibition to the Daily Telegraph is certainly, to; Swift said, "the greatest elephant in the world except himself." His last excursion was into the "Ceramic" courts, and never did sublimer bull dash into earthly china shop. He says of Minton's modellers, " They have the Rubens' touch, the Lucca Giordano power of wrist, the roundness and flowing abundance of form and drapery which wo recognise so gladly in the con ceptions of Giovanni di Bologna and .Donatello." Front imitation majolica he ascends to the twthetic philoso phy of the I?(inaissance. Its method is a singular thin :—"All that the Roman had of racy, all that time Greek had of rare that was sumptuous and extrava, gant in the Gothic, it took and brayed with flowing pig nmoutsand plastic wealth in an affluent mortar, adding, how ever, harmony as a sauce." After this bit of "braying.. no wonder if " Minton's " majolica has the true sparkle and sheen, the veritable gloss and density of broidored rich ness of the age when the wine flowed from thp(„nosto4-9f.. Donatello's horse at Padua, an d car p ets of r shin pib le I were laid, &c. One of the persistent tlifimes of this gu f all lime gentleman is the brutal and grovelling /u ntenabl y o French art, and the vast s u p eriority of English wor k to the boasted achievements, in whatever line, of " envious, sneering, captious foreigners." Ho advises Messrs. Wedg wood to avoid "a gilded p i g st y . of a boudoir," and copy " Fuseli with his writhing forms of terror, and Morthuer with his monsters and chimeras dire."

Yesterday the authorities theme Railway completed their arrangetriekta iiiiifir-Ve veyance of the m a i n b o d y of the- Tolinieers to Dover on Easter Monday. The metropolitan Volunteers who will be conveyed from the Charing-. cross and Cannon -street Stations have been ordered by the War-office to be in attendance at these ter mini at stated intervals between 4 50 a.m. and 6 a.m. The special trains for these Volunteers will be placed in position alongside a platform at each station, and be ready for loading directly the seve ral Volunteer corps are admitted within the station, aud this will ba regulated by a staff officer in con, junction with the emu pat iy's officials. Eight special trains will be started from Cannon-street, and five trains front Charing-cross. Etch train will be made up of 2 L vehicles (covered carriages, and one first class), including thr:e breaks, and as each train will accommodate 600 men, it follows that about, 8,000 Volunteers will be carried from the Cannon-street and Charing-cross tertnini. The special trains will start as under :—From. Cannon-street at 4 55 a.m., at 52 a.m., and at 5 8 a.m. ; from Charing-cross, 5 10 a.m., and at 5 16 a.m. ; from Cannon-street at 5 22 a.m. ; from Charing-cross, at 5 25 a.m. ; from Cannon-street, at 5 35 a.m., at 5 50 a.m., and at 5 55 a.m..; from Charing-cross at 6 a.m. ; from Cannon -street at 6 10 a.m. ; and from Charing-cross at 6 15 a.m. These specials will return from Dover to Cannon street and Charing-cross at about every 10 minutes from 6 15 p.m. to 7 45 p.m. The 8,000 Volunteers will be conveyed in 200 carriages. An early special train with horses and officers' servants will leave Charing-cross at 3 a.m., calling at Red. hill and Ashford, and arriving at Dover at 615 a.m. This 14. , n will run to • and unload at the Dover town platform. It will not take dowfi - borses. from the country stations. The special will return from Dover to Charing-cross at about 11 p.m., calling at the same stations as above. There will also be Volunteer special trains from country stations to Dover.

W. Eborall, the general manager, and Mr. J. P. Knight, the out-door superintendent of the South-Eastern Railway have taken extra precautions to secure the safety and convenience of the Volun teem and public. Smeeth and Shorncliffe Camp stations will remain open throughout Easter Sunday and Monday nights, and all stations on the North Kent line between London and Maidstone, and on the Paddock-road wood branch will also remain open the same nights, while the stations on the Ashford and Hastings and Tunbridge Wells branches will not close till all their specials have returned. Tem porary sidings for ten trains have been lard on on the spare ground at the Folkestone end of the Shak spere tunnel. Extra signalling stations will be opened and at work from noon-day till the same time on Tuesday. In the evening, on the return, the public will not be admitted to the Dover Station till all the Vo lunteer special trains have left. The London special trains will be started first and the two entrances to the station for the Volunteers will be at the booking office, Beach-street, and at the large gates near the locomotive shed in Great-street. The departure and arrival platforms will be used for these specials. The country specials will be started from the Dover Town platforms and Middle-road. About 3,500 Volunteers will be conveyed by the London, Chatham, and Dover line in trains, each made up of 18 carriages, and the despatching of these will be under the supervision of Mr. Forbes, the general manager. The South-Western line will also run Volunteer special trains from Farn ham at 7.20 a.m. ; Sunburn (Thames Valley line), 5.20 a.m. ; Staines (Staines and Loop Line), 5.20 a.m. ; Chertsey (mAin line and Chertsoy), 5.20 a.m. ; Kingston, 5.35 a.m. ; and Waterloo (South- Eastern Station), at 6.30 a.m. This traffic will be under the direction of Mr. Godson, Mr. Hams, and Messrs. Verrinder and Hill. At a rough computation the total number of Volunteers ex pected to be present at Dover on Monday may be estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000 men. DOVER, Good Friday Evening. The weather at Dover to-day is splendid, and full advantage seems to be taken of it by the Vo lunteers and visitors, judging from the unusually gay and animated appearance of the sea terraces and the unrivalled Admiralty-pier promenade, the latter being especially patronised. It is calculated that about 800 Volunteers have already arrived at Dover and Folkestone ; several hundreds are ex. pected down this evening, and by to-morrow night there will in all probability be an accession of at least 4,000 of these visitors. Accommodation at Dover is, al might be expected, becoming rapidly absorbed ; at Folkestone, Sand gate, and llythe there is yet, so it is reported, an ample reserve of apartments, both at hotels and pri vate houses. Visitors to the review wile have not yei secured themselves a temporary residence can not, perinps, do better than make their place of so journ before And after Monday either at Walmer, Deal, Sandwich, Minster, Eamsgate, or Margate, and find their way over to Dover on the morning of the review by either sea, Tail, or road convey ance, a choice of such modes of transit between those adjacent coast towns and the review having been announced by the steamboat and railway com- panies. The local committees at Dover and Folkestone are working most assiduously in regard to lodgings, and also as to a supply of refreshments to the Vo lunteers at a reasonable price on the arrival of the trains on Monday morning, and a word of praise is here due to Mr. Mummery and Mr. Gam brill, the mayors of the two towns, and also to their indefatigable colleagues, Messrs. Church ward, Fin rib, Knocker, and Harrison, for their laudable ex ertions in this important part of the arrangements. The Terrible, Virago, and Sea Lark, war vessclr, have already arrived ; the remaining part of the at tacking squadron, which will be much stronger than was at first supposed, is expected to arrive and anchor off Dover to-morrow and Sunday. THE BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN DELEGATES.-- The return to their Transatlantic homes of the few re maining delegates who continued amongst us to watch the passage of the Intercolonial Railway Bill through several parliamentary stages seems a proper occasion on which to express the lasting obligations under which British America and the empire generally are indebted to those gentlemen who have been s) long engaged in the performance of a public duty—the most important which has devolved on any set of statesmen shim) the founda tion of the American republic. The quanti the in the of the work done, the quality of that work, n exhaustible patience and forbearance exhibited by the real authors of the utlion measure, surpass all prais ..
