The Prussian Government, it appears, has con deacended to accept the Circular of the Marquis de MOUSTIER as a suitable and proper communication under the circumstances, and has in its turn issued a Note to its diplomatic agents, which, it is said, must have the effect of removing any remaining feeling of disquietude that may exist. All this sounds very reassuring, but the doubt may be raised why, if everything is in so placid and peaceful a state, is it necessary to have these constant commu nications on the subject? The world is getting well nigh worn out with these German intrigues and these reiterated statements that all is right, and begins shrewdly to suspect that something is very wrong in certain quarters. It is quite useless, in fact, for those nations which cannot, or will not, agree to go on after this fashion, and asseverate their good intentions and friendly feelings, all the time that each is secretly watching the other, and planning and counterplanning to circumvent its projects and schemes. The news of French armaments fills Berlin with indignation if not with anxiety ; while the information that the Prussian authorities are on the alert in their preparations sets all the French press in a fury, while it occasions complications in Paris. It is much to be questioned if this mode of Mini sterial notes and addresses is a very wise one ; if it ever did any good we fear that the day has gone by for its efficacy. Like many other things it has been tried too often, and,what is worse for its reputation of sincerity, it has been resorted to in doubtful cases to gain time and answer ends. The conse quence is, that no matter how carefully-chosen the words, how emphatic the expressions, or compre hensive the declarations, the effect of these notes, circulars, or despatches, goes very little further than the Cabinet of the Minister who draws them up. Upon the general public they have very little influence. Allowing, for the sake of argument, that nothing transpired at the interview at Salzburg to give rise to rumours of war, that does not better the previous posture of affairs, which all know was not satisfactory, nor were its indications peaceful. The attitude of the French press is certainly a significant one, and its ceaseless diatribes against Prussia and her whole policy must illustrate some turn of mind or turn of sentiment irrevocably hostile to the Berlin Government. The French Government has been much blamed for keeping up its military pre parations, but upon reflection we hardly see how they can do otherwise with impunity. Who can venture to predict what course Prussia will take before long ? And as for that German unity of which we hear so much, no wise politician would give much for the duration of the unity that exists through conquest, that is only maintained at the point of the sword, and at the sacrifice of all social liberty of actual speech. It may seem a churlish thing to do, but we suspect it is the safest course to adopt--to take all these notes and circulars as far as they go and no further, and those who trust too much to the promises therein made may sooner or later deplore their credulity. So many false statements have been made with respect to the policy of Prussia—and the worst that has been predicted of her intentions has so often been more than verified—that no statesman of much experience will trust to her, but will carefully watch the tendency of her changes and watch his course accordingly. An address by Sir SAMUEL BAKER could hardly fail to excite deep and general interest, both from the wide reputation of the speaker and his many qualifications for a discourse upon geographical science. The address itself, however, which the eminent traveller delivered on Thursday morning, in opening the section of which he was President, needed no adventitious aid, but rivetted the atten tion of its hearers from first to last. Sir SAMUEL BAKER, in tracing the progress of geographical science, remarked upon the extraordinary progress made during the last three centuries in com parison with what had been done before. During that tune America has changed from a savage state into her present high posi tion, and even more wonderful than the rapid advances is the development of the great country beneath our feet. " Within the memory of many who are here present," said the speaker, " the now important cities of Australia were mere buds upon the family tree of colonies. Blessed with the favourable conditions of temperature and geographical position, they have burst suddenly into bloom." Sir SAMUEL regarded the fine imports of wool received from Australia as more important and more significant of its future than even the golden pyramid now shining at Paris. The locality most favourable to the fine wool-bearing species of sheep is that most favourable to the development of the great Anglo-Saxon race. Speaking of the future of our colonies Sir SAMUEL foretold that full independence must soon be granted to our great offsprings, Canada and Australia. From these topics he naturally passed to the consi deration of our Indian possessions, and the changes which a few years have wrought in them through the aid of geographical science. He said that to many of us it seems but an affair of yesterday that the overland route to India was completed, but in a comparatively short space the camel has ceased to be the " ship of the desert" upon the Isthmus of Suez. " A railroad connects the Red Sea with the Mediterranean ; a canal already con veys the sweet waters of the Nile through arid sand to Suez ; and a fleet of superb transports upon the Red Sea convey our troops to India. Who can predict the future ?" Thus asks Sir SAMUEL BAKER, in summing up the great achievements of modern science, and his predictions at least are not cheerful. We have, he says, reduced space, and brought distant countries into close communication, but in so doing we have broken the spell that kept our shores inviolate ; steam and railway lines have altered the former conditions of all countries. It is necessary to watch closely the move ments of Russia upon our Indian frontier, and while speaking on this subject, Sir SAMUEL BAKER, with great reason, said that he thought we should, beyond all other geographical enter prises, look with attention upon the formation of a new and direct route to India by the Euphrates valley and the Persian gulf, so as to be independent of any complications that might arise with Egypt hereafter. It is always well to have two resources, and the great distance of the seat of empire from so important and valuable a part of our dominions should make us keenly alive to the danger of having our communications interfered with. The Russians are making extraordinary progress iu NorthernAsia,and their achievements in the explora tion of the Khinka Lake and the rivers Usuri and Amoor are ranked among the recent victories of geographical science. As Sir S. BAKER observed, their energetic steps in this direction should induce us to listen with more attention to the appeal of Sir ARTHUR COTTON for an exploration of the un known land between the Burhampooter and Yang tze, so as to open a free communication between China and India. This would be an important gain to both countries, as well as a discovery of great value to England, by affording another means of access to our vast Eastern possessions. In America the question of interoceanic communication is gain ing ground, and the exploration of a new route across Nicaragua by Capt. B. Poi is to be anion g the interest ing accounts supplied to the present meeting. From Africa there is little to be said. A dark cloud has fAllen over this part of the story, and the mystery which enshrouds the fate of one of our most remarkable man saddens the retrospect of the year. Sir R. MURCHISON, indeed, still clings to the hope that Dr. LIVINGSTONE is alive, but Sir SAMUEL BAKER finds only too much reason to fear that the accounts of the Johanna men are substantially true. The na tives, he admits, are great liars ; but they lie with remarkable ingenuity, and no native, in his opinion, would commit himself by declaring a man to be dead who was alive, and therefore might witness against him. In any case the despatch of an expedition to ascertain the fate of the illustrious traveller is a matter for congra tulation, as, if alive, he may yet be rescued; if dead, the arrival of an armed expedition in search of him will teach the savage tribes of that part a lesson. The public services rendered by the Royal Geo graphical Society are already very great, and Sir SAMUEL BAKER cited, as an instance of the im portance of exploration, the information which the Government had been compelled toseek from private travellers respecting Abyssinia. Altogether the survey taken in the address of the past and present position of geographical science was deeply interest ing, and there is little doubt that, as time goes on, the scientific student will live less and less in a world of his own, but will be called upon from all sides to assist and direct the affairs of the work-a-day world. The Reform Fete does not promise to exhibit a greater specimen of Liberal unity than any other arrangement of the sort that has taken place before. Yesterday evening a fully attended meeting was held ; Mr. G. Porrxn in the chair, and the various arrange ments were announced by him to be progressing very satisfactorily. Many members of Parliament had promised to come, and the directors of the Crystal Palace had behaved in the most liberal manner. Just as all was going on smoothly as a marriage bell, the Secretary reported the receipt of a letter from the Council of the Reform League to the effect that they would not co-operate in the fete, because, as the Reform Bill waa carried through their exertions, " any celebration of its passing ought to have been initiated by them." We aro not surprised that this course was severely animad verted upon by the meeting. A resolution was carried unanimously to the effect that the Com mittee regretted the refusal of the Council of the Reform League to co-operate with them, but were resolved to persevere . without them. Perhaps a better satire than this mai apropos affair could hardly be passed by the enemies of Reform, and can we look for a better illustration of the want of unity that exists among the Liberal party ? How cau they say that they could ever have carried a Reform Bill when their differences are so apparent, and their jealousies are so notorious. Whether or no the general public care much about this fête it was not at all the thing for the Council of the Reform League to throw cold water on it after this fashion, and they only show their pettiness of spirit by so doing. As for the assertion that they carried the Reform Bill, it is per fect bombast, and nothing else. No great measure of public interest and political importance was ever effected by those who are so intent on self-praise, and who talk so much more than they act. It is strange that when so much has been said about Liberal disunion and d:saffection so glaring an in stance of them should come to light. It reminds one of the lines which tell— " How seven cities fought for HOMER dead, Through which the living HOMER begged his bread." CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The Moniteur of this morning announces, in its Bulletin, that it has received from Copenhagen the news of the death of the Landgrave William of Hesse, father of the Queen of Denmark. The Here ditary Grand Duke of Russia and the Cesarewina will leave Copenhagen on Monday next, to return to St. Petersburg. Some reports of a Ministerial modi fication had existed at Copenhagen for the last few days, but the only change which had taken place was the appointment of Bishop Kierkegaard as Minister of Public Worship. At the sitting of the Confederation of the North, on the 4th inst., Prussia presented the law relative to military service. The Assembly manifested its opinion in favour of the resumption of negotiations for a treaty of commerce with Austria. There is now no doubt that such a treaty will be shortly concluded. The Memorial Diplomatique, which has often access to official information, contains a rather im portant article relative to the last meeting of the two Emperors at Salzbourg Its information on the subject induces it to believe that the result will prove afresh guarantee for the maintenance of peace. This paper proceeds to contend that the precarious situation of Europe is the result of the antagonism which has existed, since 1789, between two hostile camps, the one ostensibly supporting the ancient social order which is falling into ruins, and the other impatient to overcome every obstacle opposed to he liberal aspirations of new generations. The Lllenzorial believes that at Salzbourg Austria severed the last ties which bound her to the Holy Alliance, and that in concert with France she has decided upon the policy of non-intervention in foreign affairs as an invariable principle. It adds its belief that "this salutary principle once introduced into the code of nations will give to the mutual relations be tween States the sincerity and stability necessary to put an end to the agitations of peoples, and sufferings of humanity, and to insure a solid:peace based upon justice, and containing in its imperishable elements the guarantee of its duration." It is irrevocably fixed that the close of the Exhibi tion will take place on the 31st of October. The Moiziteur of this day renews its former notice from the Imperial Commission to that effect. It also an nounces that proposals relative to the purchase of the Palace and the other materials of the Exhibition will be received by the Commissariat .General until the 30th of September. General Brauschlish, Governor-General, and M. Hannecker, Commandant of the fortress of Luxem burg, have been relieved from their functions, and appointed to other serrice in the army. These gene ral officers left Luxemburg on Wednesday last, and also 800 men, forming the greater portion of the Prussian troops in the fortress. There are now only about 300 men in the fortress, and they are about to leave it. There will be some vary interesting trials of steam ploughs and various agricultural implements at Vin cennes. The agricultural exhibition at Billaucourt in the course of this week will command the attention of vi:i tors, particularly those connected with agricul tural pursuits. At the trials which have already taken place the English machine makers have proved that their instruments are so immeasurably superior to those of the French as to create universal admis sion of the fact. There were nearly 40 competitors for prizes for horse ploughs, but it is only necessary to mention those of Messrs. Ransome and Sims, of Ipswich, and the Messrs. Howard, of Bedford, for they took the lead in every respect—a very satisfac tory fact as regards English skill. The experi ments with reapers and threshing machines created a vast deal of attention. Ransomes' K 1 machine was brought into use, and with admirable effect. All the wheat which had been threshed by the ma chines of the other competitors was passed through it, and more or less grain was found in each parcel, the quantity of which of course afforded a test of the quality of each machine. This efficient and admirable machine is to be seen in the agri cultural department of the Champ de Mars, and also one of Messrs. Ransome's 'excellent new turn wrest horse ploughs. It will not be necessary to enter into details respecting them, for the gold medals of 1867 awarded .to those skilful manufac turers speak " trumpet tongued" of the opinion of the juries. It is seldom that the French admit such superiority on the part of the English as they have done with unanimity in this respect. These ma chines comprise an apparatus for chopping and bruising the straw, which is known to be of great advantage in hot countries where hay is not pro duced. The Viceroy of Egypt was much struck with them, and they will be generally adopted iu that country. The jury wished to make two trials of the apparatus in question, and were so pleased with the admirable manner in which the straw was turned out, that although the awards in this respect are not yet made, I believe I am neither wrong nor indiscreet in saying that I have reason to know that the highest prize will be given to Messrs. Ransome for this admirable and economical machine. The correspondent of one of your contemporaries speaks of a little difficulty in regard to conveyances from Paris to Billancourt, and says that the omnibuses stop at a considerable distance from the Exhibition, which is the case with what are called the Americans or the tramway, but there are omnibuses which take passengers direct from the Palais Royal to the very entrance of the ploughing field for half a franc. The fact is that there is no suburb of Paris so easily accessible as Billancourt. In addition to the omnibuses there are boats from the Pont Royal, near the Tuileries, and from more distant parts of Paris to the Exhibition at Billancourt, and the fare is only threepence (14 sous). Beyond Billancourt the river is very picturesque, some say the prospect is as beautiful as on the Rhine. At all events, the hills of Bellevue, Sevres, and St. Cloud are enchanting. I had almost for gotten to mention that in the trials of the portable engines eight were of French and three of English manufacture. There is an ingenious and very effective break to that of Messrs. Ransome and Sims, which was much admired. As the general result it may be stated that this machine, superior to any, worked more effectively with much less consumption of coal than all the others. A popular actress, who, although unmarried, is a mother, was reproached the other evening by an actress of the same theatre, who said she was en tirely artificial. Hair, teeth, complexion, were all false. She had nothing natural. "And my chil ren," replied the actress, "Are they not natural?" Au elegantly dressed lady, in her cabriolet, was seen in the Champs Elysees, the horse dashing along almost with lightning aped. " What a splendid pace the horse goes with the lady," said a gentleman to his friend. "Yes," replied the friend, who knew the lady. " The horse has no incumbrance. The lady is a very light character." The trial at Tarbes of the master, mistress, and mother of the young girl Celina Ca.ssagnet, on the alleged charge of murder, has resulted in a verdict of acquittal in favour of all the prisoners. Although only 16, the poor girl has been a mother more than a year ago. An artist of some Dote, M. Courrerhel, a pupil of floraceVernet, has just died at Croissy, in his 33d year. 'ihe weather to-day resembled that of yesterday. It was very stormy,with frequent showers, as in the month of April. There has been a terrible storm at Agem, which has done much damage. Maximilian's Charlotte. In a letter to a contemporary the writer says : Deeply impressed, as all persons must be, by the tragic history of the young Emperor of Mexico and his wife, I have th oug h t it m i g ht interest your readers to know that which King Leopold of Bel gium himself narrated to me with respect to the un fortunate Empress, his daughter, some years a go. Speaking of her beauty ( s he was then but a dark slender child), he said, "I think she will be the handsomest princess in Europe ; f happiness.' Then, after a pause, and w it h the grave smile so peculiar to him, h t e h a a t d c d o e u d l , d ~ bring o u know I cannot flatter myself my Queen wished to marry me ; and for myself also I will say nothing; we both had other views. But every day since our union has taught me more and more what an ex cellent and amiable person she is ; and about our children she has said many amiable things. It was her wish that tha tame of Charlotte should be given to our daughter. She said, ' I know your heart was given to Princess Charlotte of England ; it is a love with many sad and touching memories attached to it. I w ould like that our child also should bear that name of Charlotte ; and I pray h a ve nothing of th e d est i ny o f h er except your aff ec ti on .' " whose Car o King Leopold has been spared seeing the fatal dsl n ie am m e ay it was termination of his daughter's destiny, and the result of that enterprise in Mexico, which, with his usual sagacity, he energetically opposed and strongly dis approved. But the luckless name has once more been connected with strange and unexpected misery in his family. The present generation of the English public have been so urged and called upon to lament the more recent death of the Prince Albert of Saxe- Coburg that the far deeper tragedy of the death of Princess Charlotte (when in a single night Prince Leopold of Saxe -Coburg saw his young wife, his infant son, an d his splendid future vanish like a dream before morning, and the whole succession to the English throne change as by some stroke of magic), has faded out of men's memories, being, as King Leopold himself touchingly expressed it, " too much forgotten." There is, indeed, no one left to remind or harp upon that string of a Royal sorrow ; nor did the man who had that sorrow to bear speak much of it to any one. But, among the ra re a ll us i ons ma d e by him to the past—when his first love was laid in the grave in the bloom of her youth, with the baby heir by her side who should have been King of England—was the anecdote I have related of his Queen's desire that her child should be called by his first wife's name. That fair and amiable Queen of the Belgians is long since dead, and the wisest of European monarchs, King Leopold, has also de parted from this changeful world, without seeing the tragedy played out which so fulfils the descrip tion given iu Byran's dream of the two lives— "The one "To end in madness; both in misery !" Let us pray that the day may yet dawn which may restore peace and intelligence to the mind, though it cannot remove sorrow from the heart, of Maximilian's widowed Charlotte—the namesake of that Charlotte so lamented among us only a gene ration ago, but now too much forgotten. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION• DUNDEE, Friday Evening. The Sections met to-day at 11 o'clock. Again the chief interest lay in the Geographical Section, where a report was made on the Palestine explorations, and Sir Roderick Murchison gave an account of the Livingstone search expedition. In the afternoon, in the Town-hall, the freedom of the burgh was presented to the Duke of Buccleuch and to Sir R o d er i ck Alurchison, S i r Ch ar les Lyell, and Sir Willi am Armstrong, former P res id en ts. In the eve n i ng, under the presidency of S ir Roderick Mu rc hi son, Mr. Ge iki e, director of the ordinance survey i n Scotland, gave a lecture in Kinnaird-hall on the i , Geological Origin of the Scenery of Scotland," which lie attributed not to eruptive but to denuding agencies. Professor Phillips moved, and Professor Ramsay seconded, a vote of thanks to the lecturer. CORNISH PUMPING ENGINES.—The number of pumping engines reported during the last month was 23. They consumed 1,667 tons of coal and lifted 13.0 million tons of water 10 fathoms high. This gives the average duty as 3 ,260,0001 b. lifted ono foot high by the consump tion of 1121 b. of coal. The engines at Cargoll Mines, Chiver ton Moor, Cook's Kitchen, Dolcoath, Great North Downs, Great Work, North Roskear, South Wheal Frances, Yost M AFTER Chiverton, West IVh oa l S eaton an d Wheal Seaton, ex ceededAßßlAGE the average duty. Divonc E.—The registers of marriage in England i n 18 63 show th e marriage in that year of 49 divorced persons. 23 divorced men married spinsters, and 4 divorced men married widows. 17 bachelors and 3 widowers married divorced women. One divorced man married a divorced woman. Half these marriages took place in LOIIQII. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ~ -- PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept. 6 (Evening). The King will open the North tlerman Parlia ment in person. Zeidler's Correspondence of to-day states that Prussia has brought forward a proposal in the Federal Council for the appointment of a Commis sioner to draw up a Bill on the Press of North Ger many. The Commission is to consist of eminent lawyers from the Federal States. The Queen Dowager of Prussia will probably meet the Archduchess Sophie of Austria during the stay of the former at StolzenfeLs. The Prussian Government has sent a despatch to its diplomatic agents abroad, acquainting them with the purport of the communications which it has recently received from the French and Austrian Cabinets on the subject of the meeting at Salzburg. A Royal decree, convoking the Assembly of the Schleswig-Holstein Notables, has been issued. They will probably assemble next week. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. 6. The Wanderer of to-day says that the estimates of the Minister of Finance for 1868 calculate the total share of the general expenses and of the in terest on the national debt to be borne by Hungary at from 59 to GO millions of florins.

DUBLIN, Sept. 6. The doom of the Exhibition Palace and Winter Garden, which was so auspiciously inaugurated and gave promise of a long and brilliant career, has now been finally pronounced. After a miserable struggle it is obliged to succumb beneath the weight of its embarrassments, and the auctioneer's hammer will give it the finishing stroke. Various circumstances, some uncontrollable, others which might have been avoided, have contributed to this result. The chief causes may be briefly summed up. The company started with insufficient capital, the monetary crisis aggravated their difficulties, the management was not always judicious, and could not afford to be as liberal as au exacting public expected, and the citi zens, though always proud of it, and sometimes pleased at the efforts of the company to entertain them, evinced but little disposition to give it per manent support. Its fate is not very encouraging to speculators in magnificent efforts for popular re creation in Dublin. The adjourned half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday in the building ; the Hon. J. P. Vereker in the chair. A report of the consulting committee of share holders and directors, which had been appointed at the last meeting, was brought up and supported by the chairman. It recommended that an offer which had been received from a shareholder to . purchase the building for £BO,OOO should be accepted, and in the event of the offer not being carried out that it should be sold to the best advantage. The chair man stated that the directors found it impossible to carry on the establishment, owing to the want of funds. He thought, however, that if means were given to them the undertaking would be successful. Mr. Chas. Allen characterised the consulting com mittee as perfectly useless, and complained that the directors would propose nothing, second nothing, and agree to nothing. He appealed to the shareholders to save the building from becom ing a railway station or hotel, or being used for any other purpose than the gratification of the public. He charged the directors with incurring extravagant expenditure and withholding informa tion, and advised the shareholders to get rid of them, and not to sell their shares. Ile moved that the meeting should adjourn for a month. Sir Robert Shaw, a member of the committee, said he could not honestly offer other advice than to dispose of the concern, and accused Mr. Allen of having made an offer to purchase the building for £BO,OOO, and afterwards retreated from it. Mr. Switzer, a direc tor, denied the truth of Mr. Allen's statements, and, after recriminations had been exchanged between different speakers, it was ultimately resolved that the meeting should adjourn for a month, the con sulting committee to continue its labours, but no offer of purchase to be accepted until ratified by a general meeting. The work of prosecuting the party processionists goes briskly on, and is adding not a little to the troubles of the local magistracy. It is many years since such a round of visits has been paid by the Crown Solicitor to the petty sessions benches. Having disposed of his business in Bangor on Wed nesday, Mr. Magee attended yesterday morning be fore the justices at Banbridge, to bring to justice 12 persons who were charged with a breach of the law at Scarva on the 13th of July last. Mr. Rea, of Belfast, solicitor, attended on behalf of the defend ants and applied for a postponement of the inquiry. The reasons assigned for the application were worthy of Mr. Rea's ingenuity and self-possession. He gravely read an affidavit, setting forth that he could not proceed in the absence of Mr. Bernard Hughes, of Belfast, who was, he considered, a ma terial witness, but whom he bad not been able to serve with a subpoena. Mr. Magee offered no ob jection to the adjournment if the magistrates were satisfied that there were sufficient grounds for granting it. Mr. Rca then gave notice that in the event of the cases being proceeded with he would call for the production of certain docu ments now in Dublin Castle, and would apply to the Attorney -General to have them forthcoming. Lest the magistrates should have any doubt as to the importance of these State papers, he frankly ex plained that they consisted of speeches of Sir R. Peel and a statement of the law officers of the late Government, expressing au opinion that green is not a party colour. It might be supposed that such a matter was wholly irrelevant, and could have no possible bearing on a case where parties were charged with displaying, not green, but orange. Such a sup position, however, would not do justice to Mr. Rea's reasoning powers, for he argued that if green is not a party colour it would be invidious to say that orange is a party colour. He also afforded the bench a glimpse of the material evidence which Mr. llughes was required to give by assuring them that he would be prepared to prove that the Pope's bodyguard wore an orange uniform with black facings. , Whether the magistrates were persuaded or enter tained by the reasons offered, they complied with the application, and the case stands adjourned until, the next court day. The mastership of the Com t of Exchequer, which has been vacant for five months and keenly com peted for by rival claimants of Government patron age, has been conferred upon Mr. J. Corry Lowry, Q.C., a gentleman of respectable abilities and gene rally esteemed. The salary attached to the office is £1,200 a year. It was offered to Mr. Longfield, Q.C., but declined. The Rev. Mr. Campbell, who was recently as saulted in Granard while passing through the town, attempted to preach in the streets of Moate on Sun day last, but was obliged to desist in consequence of the hooting of au adverse crowd. Forty-one persons who took part in the disturbance were summoned by the police before the magistrates yesterday, and the charge having been proved, Captain Upton, the chairman, expressed strong disapproval of their con duct on the part of the Bench, but as no serious breach of the peace had been committed the magis trates dismissed the charge, at the same time cau tioning the parties that if their conduct were repeated they would not be so leniently dealt with. The annual sale of yearlings bred by the Palmer ston Association took place yesterday at the Cur ragh. The association has been established under the auspices of the Earl of Mayo and other gentlemen, who take a practical interest in the improvement of Irish horses, and the success which it has already achieved is highly encouraging. The sale yesterday attracted a very large and influential assemblage, and high prices were obtained for the animals, some of which displayed qualities of the highest promise. The Patriotic Assurance Company, one of the very few companies whose management is in Irish hands, held its annual meeting yesterday, Mr. J. Naughton, J.P., in the chair, and declared a divi dend of 10s. per share, being 5 per cent. on the paid up capital. Mr. Johnston's address to the electors of Belfast is a hostile manifesto against the Government. He plainly avows that he has been induced by " recent circumstances" to offer himself to the electors, and brings his counter-indictment in these terms : " Recent circumstances induce me to take this course. It might have been hoped that the present Govern ment would have seen the folly and wickedness of deliberately promoting strife in Ireland, by main taining a system of persecution which no lover of liberty would originate or endure. I regret that this hope has been disappointed. Not only has the Go vernment refused to repeal an odious and tyrannical act, which is utterly antagonistic to the spirit of the British Constitution, but it has sought, with a spas modic vigour, strangely contrasted with the weak ness shown on other occasions, to crush those mani festations of religious and political opinion which cannot be put down in any country in which, in reality, liberty exists." Ile declares that Protes tantism, which he desires to uphold, is " a system not of intolerance, but of freedom. Liberty of thought and of political and religious action cannot be proscribed by those who are truly imbued with its spirit." Intending to maintain these principles, he does not think it necessary to enter minutely on other questions, but promises to give other public questions his careful consideration, and he says be feels confident that he " may reckon ou the support of all liberty-loving citizens."

The will of Sir Morgan George Crofton, Bart., Of Mohill House, Leitrim, Ireland, and of Leamington , Warwickshire, formerly in the Royal Navy, was proved in Dublin on the Bth ult. The personalty in Ireland was estimated as exceeding £14,000, and that in England at £41,000, and was sworn as under £60,000 in the United Kingdom, the probate duty being £750. The acting executor is the Ref. Arthur Hyde, of Dromkilla Glebe, Vicar of Mohi power being reserved to Denis Crofton, Esq., Of Mountjoy-square, Dublin, the son of the testator.

He bequeaths and appoints•to his son, DOI ° Crofton, sums amounting to upwards of £16,0001 and .to each of his executors £2OO. The will of Captain Edward William Harris, of her Majesty's Indian Navy, who died July 12, 1867, was proved in the London Court on the 27th ult., and the per sonalty sworn under £40,000. On the death of Lis wife, he leaves £B,OOO to be divided in equal sham s and proportions, amongst the following charitable institutions—viz., the National Lifeboat Institutio n (Adelphi), Sailors' Orphan Girls' House (11a14 . stead), Institution for Shipwrecked Seamen, t h i e Metropolitan Free Hospital, Orthopedic (Oxford' street), Ophthalmic (St. George's, Southwark, an Gray's-inn-road), St. Mark's Hospital for Fistu l3l Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic, Hospita l for Stone, Smallpox and Fever Hospitals (Isling' ton), Consumption Hospitals (Brompton and Vi c ' toria-park), Cancer Hospital, Lock H os pit a l, Brie' , Asylum (Surrey), Blind School (Euston- r oad)' Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Idiot Asylum (Red hill), and Boys' Home (Regent's-par lv. road) ; and, after the death of his wife, he bequeaths the residue of his p3rsonal estate, t ! be divided equally between the Bishop of London' s Fund generally, the Shipwrecked Seamen's Ful d ' and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. 1 : 1 , 10 , will of Jane Bowen Harding, formerly of Rustba li f iu the parish of Speldhurst, Kent, and late of Ilf r°. combe, Devon, has been proved by her executo r s ' Rear-Admiral George Herbert, brother-in -lag 1 ' Jf the deceased ; and Richard Bremridge, Esq.. % ° South Petherton.

The Poor-law Board propose to annex the Pa ris e of Clerkenwell to the W es t L on d on U n ion, and parish of St. Luke to the E as t L on d on Union. ' regards the East and West London Unions, We can hardly conceive of any proposition more preP°s - The only reason we have ever heard al leged in favour of this movement is, that neit her , of the City Unions possess within the confines °' their several allotted districts any accommoda tion for the relief of urgent and necessitous cases. greater mistake was never committed. Without being invidious, we may say that the We st London Union has ever been desirous to m eet all the require ments of the Poor-law Board, and to relieve distres,s, whatever form that distress might assume, in the best possible manner. When compulsorily removed iron their old house in West-street, Smithfield (having built a new workhouse at Holloway), they t°°l‘ temporary premises, with the consent of the ro° r : law Board, just outside the Union, where no urgent, case has ever been refused admission, and where; • en upon an average, 65 vagrants have nightly re ceiv ettle Li food and lodging. With the full knowledge and st consent and order of the Poor - law Board, the W es London Union, at a cost of more than £12,0 00, have , very recently erected and provided the most awe accommodation in Thavie's Inn, where, in addition to a board-room and necessary local of fices ; there is accommodation for some thirty u r g eli p, cases, and wards for a large number of er. 5113 i1 - ,l * The guardians of the Clerkenwell parish st h 3- ,, aghast at the proposed amalgamation. With es population numbering, nearly, if not three t i "" as much the West London Union, all e , with every appliance at command for the r ee lief of their poor, " it did seem" to Air. g ell ver " rather hard that that board should be turn ed to the West London Union." Now, as to the -ri'd London Union, they have famous local offices , : co would have had better if their hands had not i, b yo stayed by the Poor-law Board. TheY ' 3 5 0 casual wards to which the most urge nt c 3 0,0 might be removed, and they argue, wit h o u ld show of reason, that St. Luke's workhouse sv o f be nearly as far distant from some Pa r ', - their union as their own workhouse at 110 ; 0 1 ton. The City of London Union have no ° o r wards in the City, excepting some small accornvery dation in Northumberland-alley, to whi ch deli' urgent cases are sometimes removeA, but 0 10 Ticw ciemcy is now about to be remedied as far fls Acts sible. The object of the Metropolitan roor 1867, appears to us to be the better car° °ft t hose lunatic, inthecile, and sick poor. For a l, 0 0 0 parposes the three City Unions have In'" 1 ; o y ample provisions. For the lunatic poo r al city' 4 lulu has been erected at Stone, out of th° il l cash, at a cost of some £60,000 or £70,000, ,cmit order to fill that they took in several of county patients. At each of the three o City houses there exists the most approved Ine:rsops taking care of lunatics, imbeciles, and sick P' , t ot and if the City of London Union and th° o o l- London Union would but increase their local a we do modation for the reception of urgent cases , to act think the Poor-law B oar d m ight be ind uced well alone. CV" RESCUED FROM DROWNING.—On ThursuN ing a lad named If aw kings, in the service a Ur' alo es tlie baker, George-street, Camberwell, whilst isrliciu2; lje side of the Surrey Canal, saw two children strugb t 00 in 0 the water. He immediately jumped in and brougijoiira of them out, and just as the other was sinking for tb ° au th time he, although much exhausted, ag ain junWedixj;svard4 living, brought up the child, who was shortly a" e „ resuscitated. He thus saved both children's lives ntrepidity. TIlE• REFORM FETE. A fully attended meeting of the general committee for promoting the above fete at the Crystal Palace was held last evening at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey— Mr. G. Potter in the chair. The chairman said that the arrangements for the fete were progressing in the most satisfactory manner. Already 27 of the leading Liberal members of Parliament, and up wards of 250 other gentlemen (leading middle class Reformers), had placed their names on the honorary committee, while the acting committee consisted of nearly 100 of the delegates and representatives of the trades and other societies of working men. A special meeting of the directors of the Crystal Palace had been held that day, and they had acted in the most liberal manner. They bad instructed their general manager to provide a large number of extra attractions for the fete, in cluding a balloon ascent, with the display of the fireworks, and illuminations of the whole series of fountains. (Cheers). It had been decided by the sub-committee that ladies should be admitted to the banquet, the tickets for which would be 3s. Ar rangements were making with the managers of the railways for the running of excursion trains from all the large towns. It had not yet been settled, but there was good reason for believing that both Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright would be pre sent at the banquet in the evening. (Cheers.) The National Reform Union had also promised their co-operation to make the fete a suc cess. The secretary then reported the re ceipt of a letter from the Council of the Re form League, declining to co-operate in the fete on the ground that, as the Reform Bill had been carried through their exertions, any celebration of its pass ing ought to have been initiated by them. The read ing of the letter was received with much laughter, and a discussion ensued in which the League Council was severely handled. Mr. Gilmore, of the Masons' Society, then moved " That this committee, com posed of the members of the Working Men's Asso ciation, members of the Reform League, reformers attached to no political society, and delegates from trades and other societies of working men, regret the refusal of the Council of the Reform League to co-operate in the forthcoming Reform fete, but at the same time have every reason for be lieving that such refusal will in no way interfere with the success of the fete or banquet." Mr. Batt, of the Painters' Society, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A resolution was then adopted that General Garibaldi, as the repre sentative of the working men of Italy, should be invited to attend the fete, and that the associations of foreign workmen in the metropolis should also be invited to co-operate. The committee then ad journed, it being announced that the programmes and tickets would be ready by the next meeting. THE TAILORS' STRIKE.—A special meeting of the central committee was held yesterday to consider the ar rangements to be adopted for carrying out the resolutions agreed on by tho men for continuing the strike at the general meeting on Thursday last. A circular was prepared for issue to the trades' societies, setting forth the failure of tho attempt to obtain any honourable settlement of the strike from the masters' committee, and appealing for continued support, it being the intention of the men, if necessary, to continue the strike up to the next season. Five delegates were also appointed to visit Ireland, Scotland, and the manufacturing districts, for the purpose of holding public meetings and raising funds. It is also in contemplation to send delegates to the Continent, to America, to Canada, and to the colonies fcr the same object. From those sources the committee feel confident they will obtain funds sufficient to maintain the men on strike until the com mencement of the next summer season. rf riE ELECTION OF LOUD 11.1ATOR.—A rumour pre vails in the City that an attempt is likely to be made at the approaching election of a Lord Mayor of Lon don to secure the re-election of Alderman Sir Thomas Gabriel, Bart., the present chief magistrate, who, it is said, will probably be a candidate for the representation of the City in Parliament in the event of Baron Rothschild declining to offer himself again. The friends of Alderman Allen, who stands first on the list of aldermen below the chair, will of course resist this, and, in the event of Sir T. Gabriel's re-election being proposed, there will bo a sharp contest. PROVINCIALFINANCE.—The directors of Muntz's Metal Company have declared au interim dividend at the rate el 5 per cent. per annum.
