IiPERIALPARLIA,MENT ROUSE OF LORDS—LAsT EVE).ZING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. OFFICES AND OATH BILL. On the motion for this bill being committed, Lord LYVEDEN said that although this bill might seem a small matter, still it involved a groat question as far as the people in Ireland were concerned. He consi dered it was a most important question, and it was evi dent that they ought to do their utmost to provide the most liberal measures for the Roman Catholics of Ireland. It was found, in recent voting, that 47 members belong ing to the Irish party voted for the dispensation which it was proposed to give to the Lord Lieutenant, and 27 against it. He trusted their lordships would do the utmost they could to do away with the great grievance which rankled amongst the Irish people at this time. He should move as an amendment that the Lord Lieutenant. should be admitted to dispense with oaths under the provisions of the Bill. The Earl of BENYON objected to the Bill being passed at all, and hoped that there would be a reconsideration of the bill. The great question was that Ireland and England should be one united country, and Lord Castlereagh had said that as soon as the Protestant Church was established in Ireland then would prosperity flow into that country, and would secure more effectually the colonial territories of the United Xingdom, and when they had destroyed the present system they would upset all the benefits of the Protestant Church. He did not think that the Irish people cared about this bill at all, and they would only create discord by ventilat- fug these questions. The Earl of DENBIGH said that at first the Roman Catholics were only, in the time of Sir Robert Peel, just emerging from the suspicion which attached to them. They had proved themselves good fellow-citizens to their Protestant brethren, and he thought that any bill affect ing their interests ought to be considered with the greatest impartiality. They might legislate as far as the land tenure or any question was concerned, but they might depend upon it that this religious question was the greatest of all. As far as any peril to the Protestant religion was concerned, there could not be any fear about that. He considered Ireland ought to be treated in precisely the same manner as England herself. The Bishop of DOWN said that he thought the bill was at present very suitable, and he would beg the noble lord would not preps his amendment. The Earl of DERBY said that this was not a ques tion of loyalty or disloyalty, but that of religion. He did not obj pct to any Roman Catholics becoming very eminent in Ireland, and so far he went en tirely with the bill, but as far as the office of Lord-Lieu tenant was concerned he thought that was quite a dif ferent thing. If a Viceroy who represented the Sove- reign could be a Roman Catholic, it was quite right that the Sovereign should be one. It was against the whole of the constitution of this country, and although ho entirely concurred with the provisions of the bill, he (the noble Earl) entirely diff)red from the amendment that the Viceroy should be a Roman Catholic. Ho held a position which it had in our legislature been considered should be held by a Protestant. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of KDIBERLEY spoke in favour of the amendment, and said that as any member of the Cabinet, except the Lord Chancellor of England, might be a Roman Catholic, he could see no reason why the Viceroy should not be so. After a few other remarks, a division took place, when it was found that the contents were 55 and the non-con tents 69, therefore the amendment was lost. On the motion for going into committee on the Transub stantiation, &c., Declaration Abolition Bill, The Marquis of WESTMEATH appealed to the Lord Chancellor to say whether the measure was not a breach of the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement, inasmuch as it would allow a Roman Catholic to a Regent, or one of the justier.e r.,•E guardians of the United Kingdom exercisiaig the office of Regent. The LORD CHANCELLOR replied that by the law as it stood persons holding these offices need not make such declarations unless they were the Lord Chancellor or the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. The Relief Act exempted all offices except that of Regent, which Roman Catholics could not hold. The bill was subsequently passed through committee. The Vaccination Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be sent to a Select Committee. Tho Adjutants of Volunteers Bill, which stood for third reading, was opposed, and going to a division was rejected by 18 to 6. The Linen and other Manufactures (Ireland) Bill, and some other measures of minor importance, were read a third time awl passed, aad the House ros) at five minutes past eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS —LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. THE LATE EIIPEtiItOR MAXIMILIAN. Sir L. PALK asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if it was his intention to take any steps to record the opinion of the House of Commons on the murder of the Emperor Maximilian and his Generals ? Lord STANLEY said that he did not think it expe dient for the house to enter into the lamentable matter at the present moment. Mr. OT WAY asked if any steps had been taken to withdraw the British Legation from Mexico. Lord STANLEY said her Majesty's Minister ac credited to the late Emperor was in England on leave, And the gentleman left in charge had been directed not to recognise any Government. TRADES' UNION COMMISSION ACT EXTENSION ACT. Mr. HARDY moved that the house go into committee on this bill. The late disclosures at Sheffield had ren dered such a bill necessary, and ho could not express how deeply he felt the disgrace of such disclosures as had taken place at Sheffield. Tho disgrace, however, must not prevent them taking stops to prevent and root out such a. detestable state of things, and the bill now be fore the house was to extend the action of the Sheffield Commission to other places, in order to ascertain whether a similar system had not been pursued. Mr. FORSTER said, before the house went into com mittee he thought it was necessary that some expression of opinion should take place. lie could not express the feelings of detestation and horror he entertained at the late disclosure. The first thing they had to do was to get at the full extent of the disgrace, and then take strong and efficient steps to root it out for ever. He felt much ashamed that any Yorkshireman could bo hired for the perpetration of such cruel assassinations as had been brought to light. Mr. 0 verend, the examiner, had no doubt done his duty in conducting the inquiry as he had, but he (Mr. Forster) could not help thinking that indemnity • from punishment had been dispensed with too much liberality. The com mission had not attempted to make anyone resp , nsible for the savage and inhuman acts that had been spoken of. lie thought it would have been better to have endeavoured to punish some of the persons so deeply implicated. He thought that after the evidence of Hallam, it would have been quite possible to have fixed Crookes with the crime. But Broadhead and Crookes had both been pardoned, and the former was now driving a very good trade as a publican. Without making further pardons possible, except under very special circumstances, be hoped the most effective measures would be adopted, and that all further proceedings be conducted with the greatest caution. Mr. GLADSTONE said he hoped some restrictions would bo placed on the power of those upon whom any future investigation might fall, and that no indemnity would be given except under the most special circum stances. Mr. HADFIELD expressed his horror and indignation at the disclosures. Mr. BOUVERIR and Sir G. GREY also expressed their feelings very strongly in the matter, the tatter expressing a hope that some steps would be taken to prevent such a person as Broadhead holding a licence under the excise laws. Mr. B. COCHRANE said when he first brought the sub ject tinder the consideration of the house, the statements ho then made were looked upon as incredulous, but the re sult had proved the truth of all that he had then stated. Mr. T. HUGHES said he hoped, if it was decided that the same sort of inquiry that had taken place at Sheffield was to be made in other places, the house would re consider the indemnity clause, in order that pardons should not be distributed in the wholesale manner as had been the case at Sheffield. Mr. POWELL thought that if the inquiry was to be efficacious the indemnity clause must be adhered to ; but he did not think that all should be indiscriminately entitled to it. If in any inquiry that took place enough truth was elicited to justify the prosecution of some of those guilty of such great crimes as had been disclosed at Sheffield, ho hoped the law of the country would be put in force against those so implicated. After a few observations from Mr. NEATE deprecating the horrible system that had been brought to light at Shef fi3ld, but that it would not be for the public good to have any further exposure, Mr. HARDY said without indemnity they would never get at the bottom of these horrible crimes, and the fact that they bad been in existence for so long a time+, proved how secretly matters had been conducted. The bill ultimately passed through committee, and was reported with amendments. The Court of Chancery (Officers) Bill, from the Lords, was read a second time. The first evidence of the house approaching the close of its labours for the session was given this evening in the slaughter of three "innocents," whose birth had been full of promise, but whose progress to maturity had been re tarded by causes over which their sponsors had no control. These were the Bankruptcy Bill, the Judgment Debtors Bill, and the P• ' 4. -ruPtcy Acts Repeal Bill, all of which stood for committee ; but the Attorney-General, who had them ill churl wnleabed and lamented the fact that it was hopeless to advance further with them this year, and the whole of the orders were therefore discharged. Progress was made in committee with the Poor-law Board Bill. The Local Government Supplemental (No. 5) Bill was road a third time and passed. The County Courts Acts Amendment Bill, the Office of Judge in the Admiralty, Divorce and Probate Courts Bill, and the Game Laws Amendment (Ireland) Bill were severally read a second time. Other bills were also forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. Last evening the Lord Mayor entertained the Viceroy of Egypt at the Mansion-house upon a scale of unusual splendour. The Viceroy and his suite arrived a little before 7 o'clock, and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales followed immediately afterwards. Both were received with royal honours. The chair of the Lord Mayor was backed by a gorgeous trophy of gold shields and plate, inter mingled with the flags of England and Egypt. The Prince of Wales took his seat to the right of the Lord Mayor, having on his right Miss Gabriel, his Highness Prince Teck, the Duchess of Montrose, and the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Lady Mayoress sat on the left, having next to her the Viceroy of Egypt, Lady Chelmsford, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Duchess and the Duke of Sutherland. The bright and varied costumes of the ladies, the uniforms of the nobility and gentry pre sent, and the admirable lighting of the hall, made the scene a remarkable one. The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the first toast of he evening--" Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen" —said it would be prestimptuous in him, in the presence of so many illustrious members of her Royal family, to dwell upon her many virtues, or to attempt to describe the claims she had upon the affection and loyalty of her people. Far distant be the day when the records of her Majesty's reign would have to be written ; but- they might rest as- sured that when that was done, the record would contain an unbroken narrative of acts done to pro- mote the welfare and happiness of her subjects, guided by a religious observance of the principles of the British Constitution. Long might she reign over the people she had loved so well ! Might her future days be her brightest, and might she have the desire of her heart in seeing her people loyal, prosperous, and happy. (Loud cheers.) The toast having been duly honoured, The LORD MAYOR said—lt is my high privilege to welcome here this evening a most distinguished com- pany, who have assembled to do honour to our visitor and guest the Viceroy of Egypt. (Cheers.) Our national prejudices lead us to attach great value to ancient lineage. We are proud of the long line of monarchs through which our Queen traces her illustrious descent. We cherish every relic of the past, and look with interest upon Stonehenge and other monuments of the earliest history of our country. But when we speak of Egypt associa tions belonging to a still more ancient period rise in our minds. That country, with its dynasties, which were in existence 4,000 years ago—with its pyra mids commenced almost at, the oailie period, ana still perfect monmeats of the grandeur and power empire—Egypt was the earliest seat, if not the birthplace of civilisation ; the land of corn, and wine, and oil, to which the famine-stricken nations of antiquity resorted for food when our island was a desolate waste, inhabited only by a bar barous race. (Cheers.) The past of Egypt has, indeed, been glorious, and if we may judge of the future by the present we can only augur well. (Loud cheers.) We find that country now governed by an intelligent Viceroy, under whose rule civilisation has greatly advanced. No less than 800 miles of railway have been constructed, and a great canal is now forming, intended to facilitate commercial and personal communication between the Eastern and Western hemispheres. (Hear, hear.) Under such a prince the polished civilisa tion of the West must rapidly make its way in Egypt, and with it the great discoveries of modern science must follow. It may be also that even in our time we may see the walls of the Pyramids sup porting telegraph wires and the murmuring of the Sphinxes may be translated into the utterances of political economy. (N laugh.) This country is under special obligations to the Viceroy of Egypt. (Hear, hear.) We do not forget the time when we were surrounded by troubles in our Indian Empire, and we are mindful of the facilities he offered for the passage of our troops to their destination. We welcome him most heartily to this country and to this hall. (Cheers.) Most sincerely do we trust that the cordial alliance which has now existed for some years between this country and Egypt may ever continue, and that the result may be evidenced in substantial and increasing benefits to both nations. It affords me the highest gratifi cation to ask you to drink " The Health of his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt." His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge has sanctioned my giving the toast next to that of her Majesty. The toast was honoured with great enthusiasm. His Highness the VICEROY, who was received with loud applause, replied in his native language, and at his command Nubar Pacha translated it into French as follows :—"Twenty-one years ago, in this very hall, which bears the name of his country, the father of his Highness found himself the object of the sympathies of the English people. Twenty.one years ago his Highness, then a young man, little thought that he, in his turn, in the same hall, and perhaps in the same seat, would himself receive a similar kindly greeting. He is proud of the recep tion granted to his father then, and of the favour shown to himself and to Egypt now. My Lord Mayor, you have referred to what you have been pleased to describe as the services rendered by Egypt to this country in facilitating the passage of your troops on their way to India. But we may thank the railway for what Egypt has been able to do in this respect ; and to whom are we indebted for the railway ? To British energy. (Cheers.) Does not Egypt owe her progress in a great degree to this country, and to cotton, that source of her wealth, a great proportion of which England consumes ? If Egypt has been able to render some services to Eng land, she has only discharged a debt. Her material progress and her moral progress are due to the moral and material progress of this country. It affords his Highness much pleasure to make these statements ; and at the same time he i 3 happy to have it in his power, on such an occasion as the present, to express his thanks personally to the Government and the people of Great Britain." (Applause.) At the conclusion of the Viceroy's speech the band played the Egyptian hymn. The LORD MAYOR said-he was now about to pro pose a toast which he was sure would be as popular as any that could be given in that hall. Were not his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales present he would take the liberty of enlarging upon that urbanity of manner and that extreme condescension ever showed to all about him—the time he devoted to the public service of the country and the State and the requirements of th ness was, h owever, present and he thought b e (the which Lordh he did, e people. His Royal Eligh should best exp ress his feelings May Mayor) occupied c t c h u e p ie d greatest by and the position he s n simply ce r i p t y r p s i;The, health of their Royal Ilihnesses the Prince and Princess o f Wales.',° (Loud cheers.) It was a source of great gratification to the people at large to find that during the last week the Princess, who had so thoroughly won their affections, had been rapidly recovering from her long and serious illness. Delighted would the people be to see her ;wain looked among them—(loud c h eers )-- an d they look ag ain amongfor ward to the day when they might congratulate themselves upon her Royal Highness being in the same excellent state of health as she was six months ago. With these remarks he asked them to drink " The health of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and the other members of the Royal Family." (Cheers.) The Prince of WALES, who was heartily cheered on rising, said—My Lord Mayor, your Royal High nesses, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, —I beg to thank you most warmly and sincerely for the kind manner in which you, my Lord Mayor, have pro posed my health and that of the Princess of Wales and the other members of the Royal Family, and I THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1867. have also to thank the company present for the way '1 in which the toast has been received. I need not assure you that my having been invited here this evening has been a source of great pleasure to me. Under any circumstances I always feel that it is a great compliment to be invited to the hospitable board of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London ; but this is a special and peculiar occasion. We have been invited to do honour to a distinguished guest, and that guest is the Viceroy of Egypt. (Cheers.) As the Lord Mayor has very truly re marked, England and Egypt are countries which, although far distant from each other, and very dif ferent from each other in their religion and habits, are at the same time countries which have been, and will continue to be, closely allied. We have every reason to be grateful to the Viceroy and his Go vernment for the means he has afforded us of visit ing that country, and for the great hospitality he has shown to us on all occasions. On many occa sions, while I was visiting Egypt during the year 1862, when that country was under the rule of his uncle, the late Viceroy, I received many dis tinguished marks of kindness and goodwill. (Hear, hear.) Nothing could have exceeded the courtesy and hospitality with which I was treated. (Hear, hear.) I have also to acknowledge the facilities which were afforded to me for visiting that most interesting country. We are greatly indebted to the Viceroy and the Egyptian Government for the facilities that he afforded our troops in their transit to India. As has been remarked, Egypt is a coun try which is largely improving in every way. (Cheers.) Manufactories are rising on all sides, especially cotton manufactories ; and I myself visited a very important sugar factory, and it was interesting to find that there were English, French, and German workmen employed in that factory. I will not take up further time, as there are many more toasts to be given, but I beg to thank you all most sincerely for the honour you have done me in inviting me here this evening, and I desire also to thank you most sincerely for the kind expressions you have used towards the Princess of Wales. (Cheers.) I know that lam only expressing her feelings when I say that she has been deeply touched by the good feeling and sympathy that have been universally expressed towards her during her long and painful illness. (Cheers.) By the blessing of God, she is now nearly recovered ; and I trust that in a month's time she will be able to leave London and enjoy the benefits of fresh air. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," with which he associated the name of the Duke of Cambridge as the Com mander-in-Chief of the army, and colonel of a me tropolitan regiment of volunteers, and the Right Hon. Henry Corry, First Lord of the Admiralty. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who was received with cheers, said—l feel flattered that the army and volunteers should have been brought to the notice of so distinguished a company, and I feel grateful to the Lord Mayor for having given me an occasion to express our great satisfaction on the part of the army to see the illustiozans t 7.1'..",i; sits on my right present iu this country. The Viceroy of Egypt, as has been observed, has availed himself of many opportunities of conferring real benefit on the British soldier; and I am happy to say that, thanks to his enlightened mind, and the enlarged views he entertains, we shall be enabled, as regards the army, to get rid of one of the most painful duties of the soldier—a prolonged sea voyage. Thanks to the arrangements which are now under consideration, and which are nearly completed, I hope soon to see the day when that cordiality and good feeling which has already existed so long between this country and Egypt will be still further extended and deepened. lam sure everything that I have seen and heard of our illustrious guest brings me to the conclusion that in his hands that country is certain to receive that amount of consideration and good feeling which it is of so much advantage to cultivate. In times like these cordiality and good feeling be tween nations are of the utmost importance. The commercial liberality with which all countries now deal with each other must tend to their mutual benefit, and we find these views are becoming more and more extended. The visits of the leading men from the East to the western countries must still further develop this tendency, and must necessarily produce benefits to the world al large. It affords me the greatest satisfaction, in common with every body in this hall, to see such distinguished men com ing from a neighbouring and friendly country to pay us a visit in such a manner as to show that they come not as friends to the country more than another, but that they are desirous of cultivating friendly rela tions with Europe, and see for themselves the pro gress we are making, and judge of the advantages to trade and commerce which would follow their adoption. (Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Mr. CORRY, in responding for the navy, said the honour of doing so would in any case be great, but it was doubly enhanced by har ing to do so in so brilliant and distinguished a com pany. He hoped and believed the navy was at pre sent in an efficient state, and he trusted that the Viceroy would see for himself at the forthcoming review what kind of a navy England thought it necessary to keep up in time of peace. (Hear, hear.) The Loan MAYOR then gave "The Two Homes of the Legislature—the House of Lords and the House of Commons." Each of them represented the particular characteristics of this country. The House of Lords, though a permanent body, still drew to it the men who had shown the greatest talent, the most gifted, in every walk of life, and he was sure he said no more than the truth when he said that none more enjoyed the confidence and respect of the people. The House of Commons was the house of the people, and they had been looking with deep anxiety on what had been going on in that house of late with reference to the alteration of its own constituencies. They believed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would leave his mark on the history of this country if he succeeded in carrying a bill which would extend the liberties and increase the securities for the freedom of the people. The Duke of MONTROSE responded on behalf of the House of Lords ; and referring to the Reform Bill which was so soon to be sent up to that home, said he was sure it would meet with an impartial and dispassionate consideration, and that the claims of the people to a larger share in the representation would be fairly recognised ; that, in short, the bill would very speedily pass through the Upper House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who was received with cheers, said—l beg leave, on the part of the House of Commons, to acknowledge the honour you have done them—an honour which they have received many times in the city of Lon don, but which has been only the more appreciated each time the honour has been conferred upon them. Such a mark of sympathy and respect from any body of their fellow citizens is what they must at all times highly prize ; but coming as it does from an ancient body, whose relations with the House of Commons are so memorable as those of the city of London, I am sure that when I tell the members of that house that they have been remembered to-day in this ball I shall communicate to them a fact which will be in every way most gratifying to them. My lord, you have referred to a measure of great im portance which is now passing through Parliament, and which, if passed, will greatly increase the popu lar rights of this country. Far be it from me, in a may promote or provoke popular character, to n tl i l a is ke o a r ny an measure,ryemasarskemwb,hlyich of that con t rove rsy; but I think I may say this of that that it must be a matter of congratulationt a bill which will to alt thoughtful min ds, , 1 this country has been passed , though not without greatly increase the popu lar ri g hts of the p eople of severe scrutiny, yet entirely w ithout the acerbity accepted by those who will be i nv ested with the of party contention—(cheers) —so that it will be responsibility of political rights wi thout any of those perverted feelings that are the inevitable re sult of an embittered struggle. (Loud cheers.) It is gratifying to me, my lord, this day, that I have to refer to this probable change in the character of our representative institutions in the presence of an enlightened Prince, who has shown in the govern ment of his own country how much he appreciates them. I cannot this moment forget that in that ancient and illustrious land, the mother of many arts—a land which has bees destined to exercise so singular an influence over the faith and cha racter of the human race—a Prince now reigns, who, in the teaming and inexhaustible lands of the Pharaohs and the Ptolemies, has ap plied all the sources of modern science, and even laid the foundation of representative insti tutions. (Cheers.) I have heard from a high authority that his Highness, before quitting this country, intends to pay a visit to the House of Commons ; and I think I can presume, on the part of that house, to promise his Highness, whenever he makes that visit, a greeting of cordial respect. (Cheers). The Viceroy of EGYPT proposed " The health of the Lord Mayor," and the toast having beeii drunk with great cordiality, The LORD MAYOR, in responding, stated, as a fact which he had learned from his Highness that evening, that his son was at present under the tuition of an English governess, and surrounded by English attendant& (Hear, hear.) " The Health of .the Lady Mayoress " having been given, and acknowledged by the Lord Mayor, the banquet closed. DIE GUARDS' INSTITUTE. Yesterday this institution was inaugurated by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. It had long been felt by many officers of the Brigade of ;he Guards that the establishment cf an institute in London as a place of occupation, resort, and re- • creation for soldiers when out of barracks would be a great advantage, and in the autumn of 1864 the subject was brought under the notice of his Royal Highness and his sanction obtained for the estab lishment of such an institution for the use of the roops in the metropolis, not confining its benefits .o the Guards, but embracing all non-commissioned officers and men of other regiments on duty or fur- lough in London. The building has been erected on a site in Fran- cis -street, Vauxhall - bridge -road. It is in the Veneto-Italian style, and consists of a basement and three stories. A flight of steps leads to the entrance- hall on the ground floor; on the right is a coffee- room for the privates, and on the left a billiard room and coffee-room for non-commissioned officers. On the first floor is a reading-room and a billiard room for privates, and a reading-room for the non commissioned officers. The second floor is wholly devoted to the lecture and concert-room, which is 100 feet in length and 50 feet in breadth, its height being from the floor to the open roof, which is con structed in an ornamental style in varnished deal, 28 feet. The whole has been designed by Mr. H. A. Darbishire, and executed by Messrs. Smith and Co., of Pimlico, under the immediate supervision of Mr. James Cradock. His Royal Highness arrived about 3 o'clock, and was received by the members of the Committee of Management and a large number of friends who had been invited to attend on the occasion. Among others present were Lord de Grey, Gen. Peel, Gen. Lindsay, Sir John Pakington, several members of the head-quarter Staff, and many retired officers of the Brigade of Guards, besides upwards of 250 of the troops quartered in London. The illustrious Duke, after having inspected the building, entered the lecture-room, wh ere t h e compan y had assembled, - - and on taking his place on the dais the following address was presented to him by General Lindsay, who, as the Commander of the Brigade of Guards, was ex-officio chairman of the committee :—" May we now request your R oya l Hi it please your Royal Hi g h ness —The institute which open and dedicat e d to th e use of the non ghness to declare commissioned officers and soldiers of the me tropolis was commenced with the sanction of your Royal Highness and with the approbation of the Secretary for War. Your Royal Highness is well aware of the temptations to which soldiers are exposed in a city of such vast extent and with a population so numerous as London ; and although excellent recreation rooms and well supplied canteens are established within barracks, yet it was felt that His ROYAL HIGIINEss acknowledged the compli ment, and availed himself of the opportunity of ex pressing the satisfaction which bad been given by the architect in the design of the building, which was in every. respect well adapted to the purposes for which it was intended. After repeating the ob servation that the benefits of the institution were not to be confined to the men of the Guards, but were open to every soldier in Loudon, his Royal Highness announced that there were already no less than 920 subscribers to the institution. His Royal Highness then retired, and the meet ing dispersed. The band of the Grenadier Guards was stationed in the open space in front of the building, and played several pieces during the proceedings. IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING. BiumINGHAIsi, Thursday Evening. The principal meeting of the ironmasters of this district was held here this afternoon. There was a very large attendance, and although many marks of the slackness which has so long prevailed were still visible, the tone was decidedly more cheerful than it has been for a long time, and a far greater amount of business was done than could have been anticipated; the estimate formed (which must neces sarily be a rough one) was that not less than 50,000 or 60,000 tons of iron was sold. There were buyers present from all quarters, and the general opinion among them appeared to be that we are on the eve of a general improvement, though it may be very gradual ; in fact, that the trade will not regain a thoroughly normal state until next y car. The pre sent reaction arises mainly from the circumstance that home consumers' stocks are so low that they are now compelled to come into the market. A de mand is also springing up on account of East Indian, Australian, and some others of the foreign markets. The little impetus given to the trade by the meeting of to-day comes very seasonably, and will be felt throughout the district. The quantity of orders re ceived will not be sufficient to put the works on anything like full time, but many will be enabled to go on four days, at least, who have hitherto been working two or three days only. There is a better demand for hoop iron, but the reaction experienced at this meeting seems to be in respect of nearly all descriptions of finished iron. There was a good business done to-day in pig iron, the make of this district ; the prices of hot blast, all mine, ranged between £3 10s. and £3 15s. per ton. Cinder pigs, £2 15s. to £3 2s. 6d. per ton. a building devoted expressly to the use of the sol diers while out of barracks would be a great advan tage. The object which those who have given their support to this undertaking have bad in view is the establishment of a comfortable place of resort in which soldiers may find occupation, refreshment, and amusement. In carrying out this plan the com mittee have prepared reading rooms in which will be found newspapers and periodicals ; and a library, containing books, maps, and plans, is in course of promotion. There is also a room available for con certs and lectures. Games of different descriptions are established in the recreation rooms, while bowl ing alleys and skittle grounds are attached to the building. The coffee rooms will be supplied with everything that can be required except spirits. It is further the intention of the committee, as soon as the funds will admit of it, to afford members the means of working at their former trades by provid ing tools and appliances. They also proposetooetshtearblisha necessaryam of instruction in trades. The rules, which have received y our Royal Highness's sanction, have been drawn up in accord ance with military habits ; but in framing them the cominiaee were anxious that the institute should be conducted as a private establishment, under the supervision of a committee of officers, aided by a sub-committee composed of members. They wish that every subscriber may feel at home in the build ing and be under no further restraint except such as all society is necessarily subject to. The committed now beg your Royal Highness to hand over the build ing for the use of those for whose benefit it has been erected, in the full belief that the soldiers will ap preciate the motives which have called' it into existence, and in the confident hope that it will tend to promote the comfort and social advantage of the members." His ROYAL HIGHNESS, having accepted the ad dress, said that in opening the institution he felt much gratified at its having fallen to his lot to un dertake that duty. It was a most gratifying duty in every respect. It was highly gratifying to see the interest which the officers took in the welfare of the men, and to observe that the men were beginning to appreciate the advantages which such an institution was calculated to afford. He hoped and believed that by means of these institutions many of those difficulties which were now said to exist in the way of recruiting the army (but in some of which he cer tainly did not concur) would be removed, and that the services would be greatly benefited by the ex istence in different parts of the country of such in stitutions if well and properly conducted. It was ridiculous to suppose that men, whether of high or low degree, could be safely debarred altogether of recreation and amusement, and it was difficult to prevent those occasional excesses wh i ch were com mon to man. The only way to obviate that diffi culty and to prevent th ose excesses was to afford the means of lawful recreat i on wh i c h suc h institu tions as this were int en d e d to promo t e . It was of great advantage to the soldier that he should have an institution of this kind to resort to, instead of seeking amusement in publichouses or elsewhere in a manner which did not redound to his credit. He was happy to find that the institution had been encouraged and literally supported by the officers themselves, thus provinc , the interest they took in the men under their command. This could not fail to create a mutual attachment between the officers and the men, which would greatly tell to the advan tage of both whenever the service of the country should require their more active and serious co operation. He was pleased to observe that the in stitution had received liberal support from the War Department, which must neces sarily be much inte rested in the comfort andgeneraleneral e fficiency of the army. lie was also happy to see present his noble friend Lord de Grey, under whose auspices insti tutions on a smaller scale, but of a similar charac ter, had already been introduced into portions of the service, while it ga v e him much pleasure to notice the attendance of Sir J. Pakington and his readiness to support the institution. His Royal Highness then announced that the institution was open, and concluded by expressing a hope that it may not only flourish and attain the object for which it was established, b u t b e f o ll o wed by many other similar institutions. (Ch eers .) Sir J. PAKINOTO N , i n mov i ng a v ote of thanks to the Duke of Camb r id ge f or his having discharged the duties of the d ay, adverte d t o the great interest which hi4 l t o y Bjghttcss had always taken in the The demand for Shropshire iron is subject to less fluctuation than that of this district ; there was the usual steady business done in that commodity at this meeting, and it was reported that the quarter's make was sold. The trade in all the other iron-producing districts was well represented, and the tone of this assembly gave rise to a feeling of much cheerfulness. There is an old saying that it is a long lane which has no turn ; the South Staffordshire iron trade has been in a sadly depressed and otherwise unhealthy state during the last twelvemonths ; it is to be hoped that a turn has now been taken in a direction with a brighter prospect, and that there will be no fresh re trograde movement. PRINCE CONSORT'S WINDSOR ASSO- CIA TION. The annual meeting of this important association, established in 1850 by the Prince Consort for im proving the condition of the labouring classes of Windsor, Eton, and the surrounding neighbourhood, took place yesterday in the Windsor Home Park, under the most favourable auspices. The royal tents from the Castle were erected under the direction of Seabrook upon a new and much improved arrange ment ; the royal tent being placed in the centre, and in front of the flower tent, and facing the visitors, there were convenient tents for the accommodation of royalty, tents for the exhibitors of cottage handicraft, needlework, vegetables, &c., and a spacious tent under which an excellent dinner was given at two o'clock to 250 successful candidates, who were attended to by the clergy and other gentlemen of the committee. The show of fruit and flowers from the royal gardens, the royal nurseries, and gardens of the nobaity and gentry of the neigh bourhood, was of a finer description than has been witnessed for several years past. Mr. T. Ingram's display from the Queen Gardens included a very ex tensive and beautiful miscellaneous collection of plants, fruit, and cucumbers, including black and white grapes, plums of an extraordinary size, and also a splendid collection of hothouse plants. Whilst the exhibitors were enjoying their dinner and during the afternoon the fine band of the Scots Fusilier Guards enlivened the scene by the perform ance of some excellent pieces. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales intended to have distributed the prizes this year, but as his royal highness was unable to be present, the prizes were distributed by their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Alice of Hesse and Louise, and Prince Leopold, who entered the royal tent with Princess Beatrice and Prince Louis of Hesse at four o'clock. The report was first read by Major-General Seymour (chairman), Viscount Kirkcaldie, 11. D. Erskine, Rev. W. B. Marriott, W. R. Harris, Captain Layard, and E. B. Foster, with other members of the committee, being present. The distribution then commenced. It occupied an hour. At the conclusion their royal highnesses were conducted over the various tents, and the ingenious productions at the handicraft tent, particularly a cradle made of scarlet runners threaded on wires, attracted more particularly the notice of the royal visitors. Their royal highnesses afterwards left the ground and returned to the Castle, the band playing the National Anthem. In the evening the members of the committee dined together at the Town Hall. The following is a list of the prizes awarded : Class 1. —To the labourer or artisan, or his wife, who has brought up a family in honest, sober, and industrious habits, without parish relief, except in cases of sickness. Two received £2 10s. each ; one, £2 ss. ; one, £2 ; and one, £llos. Class 2.—To the widow of a labourer or artisan who has brought up her family in honest, sober, and industrious habits, whether with or without parochial relief. Three received £2 each ; one 355., and one 30s. Class 3.—To families distinguished for cleanliness and tidiness in house and person. Eleven received £1 each ; and fifteen, 15s. each. Class 4.—To well-conducted servants or labourers, male or female, who have lived the longest period of service in the same situation. Three received welfare of the British soldier, and said a better and I each ; one, £2 155.; three, £2 10s. each ; one, 155.; more appropriate proof that that feeling had not and one, honourable certificate. abated could not be given than in the part which his Class s.—To young persons, male or female, who Royal Highness had that day fulfilled in opening have kept their first place of service for the longest an institution having for its object the innocent re- period (not less than three years)—One received £2 creation and moral advantage of the non-commis- 15s. ; two received £2 each ; three £1 10s. each ; sioned officers and men of the British service.

By his accidental connection with the War Department he felt doubly bound to do whatever he could to promote the best interests of the army. Lord DE GREY seconded the vote of thanks, and expressed a hope that institutions of this description would spread not only throughout England, but in every part of the empire, including the colonies; at the same time, he trusted they would not interfere with other institutions no less valuable in their ob ject—he meant the regimental reading-rooms. There could not possibly be any hostility or rivalry between the two institutions, but they were both capable of being carried on together. It should not be forgot ten that although the credit of founding this insti tution belonged to the Brigade of Guards, yet its benefits were not intended to be confined to the Foot Guards alone, but were freely to be partaken of and joined by every man in garrison among them who chose to avail himself of them. Roman Fetes and Italian Fumigations. " A Fumigated Yankee," in a letter to the Times, says you allow me to call the attention of all " whom it may concern" to what I think must be conceded to be the rather scurvy way in which the Italian Government is just now trying to punish the Pope for the success of his grand Centenary of St. Peter ? On Thursday of this week, without a word of warning given to the public, Signor Rattazzi ordered all passengers coming from Rome into the Italian kingdom to be subjected to the prophylactic process of " fumigation" at the first station, after crossing the frontier. This order was issued, as I under stand, on the strength of a report made to the Italian Minister of the existence of the cholera in Rome W hether the cholera does or does not exist at Rome I do not pretend to decide, though I was in formed by one of the best physicians in that city, on Wednesday last, that no unquestionable case of the disease had up to that date come to his know ledge. But that it is neither just to the travelling public, nor sensible in itself to fight the cholera with such " fumigations" as now welcome the intruder upon the soil of "free Italy," may without presump tion be asserted. Let me tell " a plain tale," and be yourself the judge. Yesterday morning I left Rome for Florence by way of Civita Vecchia, and the newly-opened railway of the Marernme. The train was not crowded, the railway running for the most part within sight and breath of the sea, and but for the horrible condition of the buffet at Orbetello, where passengers are expected to make their only meal in a ten hours' journey to Leghorn, the trip might be made one of the pleasantest in Italy. At Orbetello, which we reached in the hottest part of the day, we found ourselves locked into the carriages. A very civil Italian guard explained, with an ill-suppressed smile, that this was "by order of the Government." After some 20 minutes we were invited very politely to descend and enter a small den, taking our " small luggage " with us. The glass doors of this den were then closed upon some 20 or 30 passengers, including one very warm bishop and several French ecclesiastics of lower rank ; and we were then and there " fumi gated" by means of half-a-dozen earthen pans set on the floor, which gave forth a nauseous odorous smoke, and pervaded us with a smell resembling that of lucifer matches lighted in a photographic atelier. The guards looked at us with a sort of quizzical good-nature through the glass doors and windows, and at the end of about five minutes released us to snatch a hurried and hateful meal at the buffet above anathematised. This was ridiculous and vexatious enough, but this was not all. On arriv ing at Leghorn, four hours after, we were again sub jected to the same process, entailing this time a choice between going without our dinners or losing the train to Florence, so that we reached Florence, after a journey of 14 hours in July, without having been able to make a decent repast on the way. If such treatment be not more likely to develope cholera than any number of sulphurous " fumiga tions" to suppress it our medical books had better be at once rewritten. I learn here, too, that we got off remarkably well ; the passengers by the train which reached Florence yesterday morning at 11 having been kept at the Florence station till 3 p.m. The Florentines themselves are angry enough at this extraordinary demonstration, but I hope that you will give it a " European reputa tion." However serious may be the offence of being a Catholic and going to see the Pope this can hardly be considered a humane or dignified way of chastising those 't 't who commit 1 . THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The rate in Vienna was 30 per 1,000 during the week ending the 29th ult,, when the mean temperature was 8.5 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 19. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.796 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.11 in. at the beginning . of the week to 29.52 in. on Tries- - o -- ----- - - day, July 2. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 61.9 deg., which is 0.5 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher.) The highest day temperature was 81 . 5 deg. on Monday, July 1. The lowest night temperature was 45.9 deg., on Saturday, July 6. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 35 . 6 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 65.6 deg. ; that of the lowest was 634 deg. The difference between the mean-dew point tem perature and air temperature was 8 . 6 deg. The , ..... mean degree of humidity of the air was 74, com plete saturation being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 0.31 in., of which 0.25 in. fell on Tuesday. Between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Monday, frequent flashes of lightning were seen. The general direction of the wind was variable. According to a return furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the river Thames at the Southern Outfall Works, Crossness, was 41,231,688 gallons, or 187,331 cubic metres, equivalent to about as many tons by weight. Mr. Fordyce Speaking against Time. The London correspondent of the Liverpool Albion, writing last Saturday, says :—" One of the most barefaced pieces of speaking against time' I have known in the House of Commons of late years took place on Wednesday. The Conservative party were anxious to go to a division on Sir Colman O'Loghlen's motion for the second reading of the Land Tenure Bill, immediately the Irish Attorney- General had made his unconciliatory harangue. Mr. Fordyce, a young Scotch member, rose to say a word in favour of the bill at 20 minutes before six. In accordance with a standing order of the house any debate which - may be going on at a quarter to six on Wednesday must be suspended immediately the hands of the clock point to that hour. As Sir Colman and his friends did not want to get beaten on a division their game was to talk the debate out, seeing that members on the Government side had refused to accede to Mr. Maguire's motion for an adjournment. They gave Mr. Fordyce more than one encouraging cheer, but that gentleman having said what he had intended within the space of four and a half minutes, was about to resume his seat, when The O'Donoghue, who sat immediately under him, caught Mr. Fordyce by the arm, and said, Go on.' It is notof ten Scotland helps Ireland in the House of Commons ; but on this occasion Mr. Fordyce, amid much laughter, obeyed The O'Donoghue, started afresh, and spoke for the other half-minute, when the hands indicating the quarter, the Speaker cried Order.' The hon. member's speech and the debate were instantly brought to an abrupt conclusion. The Parliamentary trick was all fair on this occasion, because Lord Naas, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, had left the house after privately asking Sir Colman O'Loghlen whether he would go to a division, and the hon ourable and learned baronet telling him that he would not, but would get some of his friends to move the adjournment of the debate." COUNTRY MARKETS. BRISTOL-THURSDAY. - ------------ A small supply of English wheat to-day, which mot with a fair sale, and commanded fully late prices.
