IRADES' OU7RAGES COM.IIISSION. TWELFTH DAY. MANCHESTER, Sept. 18. After our report was despatched yesterday, Win. Parks, dyer (the man beaten by brickmakers, as is supposed in mistake for Mr. Ashworth's son), was examined. He said he was attacked by three men on a dark night in August, 1865, near Mr. Ash worth's house. He was struck on the top of the head, and remained insensible nine days, and was off his work 13 weeks. He was cut about the face and had one eye cut, which still pained him. The following is the warning letter mentioned sent to Mr. Ashworth, as mentioned in his evidence yesterday : " Friday Morning, Aug. 5, 1865. " Dear Sir,—l think it my duty to inform you that at at a meeting of operative brickmakers, held in this hall yesterday, there was a committee ap pointed to consider the best means of shooting or otherwise putting an end to your existence. In writing this I put myself quite as much in danger as !yourself if it came to the knowledge of this society of ruffians ; so beg you will not let my trouble be thrown away, but put yourself on your guard at once. Now, considering I have done my duty, I beg to subscribe myself " A WELL-WISHER. ' 1 If you value these communications please ad vertise the receipt of it in to-morrow's Guardian, in the following words :—' Received, Well-wisher's letter.' " J. A." The Court opened at the usual hour this morning. Mr. Pickering said, before proceeding with the evidence, he wished to say that their attention had been called, and he was glad to say properly called, to the question as to what cases they considered should come within the meaning of the word " inti midation" in the Act of Parliament under which they were acting ; and, as it was desirable that Do misapprehension should exist on the subject, he would state what they (the Commissioners) consi dered to be the meaning of the word and the sort of cases they thought would fall within the scope of their inquiry under that particular head. The words of the Act were that they were to inquire into " any acts of intimidation, outrage, or wrong alleged to have been promoted, encouraged, or con nived at by trades unions or associations," and as to the cause of such acts and the complicity therein of such trades unions. Now, looking at the word inti midation there in connection with the words to which it was joined in the Act of Parliament, they thought that any threats, whether actual or implied, of any violence or injury to the person or property, whether these threats were accompanied with actual violence or injury or not, did not come within the meaning of that expression, and they should feel it their duty to inquire into any case of that nature that might be brought before them. Mrs. Sarah Potter sworn—ls the wife of William Potter, roller coverer of Eccles. He is in the union. Remembered the affair at Ashworth's. Mrs. Mosedale came into her house in 1865, and said there was something to do with Ashworth's men, and they were going to kill Mr. Ashworth. She said some men were coming to their house about it. Did not know if it was before or after the attack on Parks. Mr. Mosedale came to her house last Saturday but one, and asked to see her sum mons to this court, and took it away till Thursday. He asked her to go with him to 'tome) , Roberts, but she did not go. John Mosedale sworn—ls a brickmaker and a member of the Brickmakers' Society in Salford. Lives at Eccles. Went to Mrs. Potter's house last Saturday week. What he went for was to tell her to tell all she knew. Went because he had a right to go—to see the furniture. Mr. Barstow cautioned the witness not to answer impertinently. The witness said he had as much right to speak in that court as the Commissioners. The witness had again to be cautioned that he must not give impertinent answers, or he would be guilty of contempt of court. He said he went to get to see the summons. He never heard in the club of any intention to commit violence on Mr. Ashworth. Had never been a delegate. The first he heard of the injuryto Parks was from the newspapers. Never heard of the intention to attack him before it oc curred. On the night of attack there was a person came to his house named Wm. Snathe. No one else. The only reason he- went to see Mrs. Potter's sum mons was that he was drunk. He wanted to see whether she was summoned on the same day that he was. Had no reason to fear she would say some thing about him. He defied any one in England to say anything about him. Never went to any one to see their summonses. (He was ordered to stand down, without expenses.) John Collins, sworn—ls a member of the Man chester Brickmakers' Union. Knows Thomas Ash worth, son of John Ashworth. Was not present at any meeting the dispute with him was brought be fore. Heard of a resolution passed that no member should visit Ashworth's beerhouse. Could not say if it was after the attack on Parks. He was fined £1 himself for going to Ashworth's beerhouse, being then ignorant of the resolution. George Traunter, of Cheetham, is a member of the Master Brickmakers' Association. It was formed for protection against a number of speculative builders, or "jerrymen," who went and got bricks from different makers, and when they had got all the credit they could cleared themselves from liabi lity at Lancaster, in the Insolvent Court. Was a member of the Operative Brickmakers' Union. The masters who worked themselves were obliged to be members. The union dictated what they should be paid for labour. There was an understanding among masters that they should all sell at a given price. He believed that the employment of machinery would increase the number of men employed, but doubted if it would not decrease their wages. He thought there was a great difference between working up clay by machinery, and working up cotton. He be lieved the brickmaking machines had all failed, be cause all the companies had gone down. Believed that hand-made bricks were the best as a rule, ex cept from Platt's machine, which was the best he had seen. Mr. Ashworth made bricks by machine, and John Mulholland and George Mannering, operative unionists, came to witness and asked him to induce Mr. Ashworth to stop his machine. They said they did not come officially, but they had no doubt if he left off the fine of £5O would be taken off, and by gones be bygones. James Kay was employed by the Masters' Association not to draw the men off, but to inform them of defaulters among the builders. Questioned if machine bricks could be made cheaper than others, he said hand-made bricks were better than those made by machine for some classes of work, though machine bricks were cheaper as to labour, but including break downs and wear and tear of machinery they would be as dear. There would he more hands employed at machines, but at less wages. The handmakers paid 12s. or 14s. a day for opera tives, where mackinemakers gave 4s. only. There would be less skill for the machines, except for the engineers and mechanics. Masters were not obliged to be members of the operatives' union. They would be entitled to £lO funeral money if they subscribed, but, said the witness seriously, he would have to die for it. (Great laughter, in which witness joined.) John Lomas, clogger, said in 1863 he was building two houses with hand-made bricks up to April, and made a contract with Mr. Walkden for machine bricks in consequence of the high price of the hand bricks. Kay came to tell him he must desist and send back the bricks, but he refused unless they re funded him 275. Kay said they would forgive him for what he had done so far if he would send back the bricks, and if he did not he would shift his head off. Supposed he meant he would shoot him. On the '9th of May lie found that his house had been set on fire by exploding four canisters weighing 121 b each. The floors and window panes were lifted, and he sustained damage to the amount of £6O. George Goodier, sworn—ls a self-acting spinner in the employ of Mr. Agnew. On May 22, 1854, was watchman in Mr. Armitage's mill, and was attacked by three brickmakers with sticks and bricks about a quarter to half past 12 at night. They struck him with sticks and bricks, and threw bricks at the dog. They drew witness down the brow, and then a vast many men came from the canal. He should say 20 to 30 men, as well as he eouldtell, but he was bleeding badly. They then started of throwingdown walls of bricks. The walls were 100 yards long and 10ft. high. Two men held him while the others threw down the bricks. They were machine-made bricks. As they left he was struck across the back with something, and he felt the effects now. They said, " Kill the beggar," and knocked him against the cabin door. He was in the doctor's hands afterwards six weeks, and could not work for 16 weeks. They killed the dog. Mr. Armitage was building a new mill, and they were using machine-made bricks. John Warburton said he was the contractor for Mr. Benjamin Armitage's new mill when the walls of the new weaving shed were knocked down, several hundred yards long. Should say it would take 20 or 30 men. Had never been threatened before this. He went on afterwards and rebuilt the walls with machine made bricks. He left the job when half finished because of the clerk of the works, who said the work was not good enough. Was sure that he was never threatened, and never heard that his men were. Never said so. Was to be paid by the yard, but had never been paid yet. The work had never been measured. Had been in partnership with his brother, but had dissolved partnership. Had to stop work once because of the supply of bricks being stopped. James Kay had him fined £5 for using machine-made bricks before they would let him have hand-made bricks. Paid the fine. By Mr. Barstow—Could not say which were the cheapest. Did not know whether he was stopped on behalf of the masters' Union or the men's. James Kay stopped him. James Tinsley, sworn—ls an excavator at Pendle ton. Remembered the attack on Armitage's watch man. Remembered on the Sunday after an ex cavator named Smith telling him he killed the dog. Smith told him Robert Rigby and a man called Larry were there. Mr. Benjamin Armitage said he was a cotton manufacturer at Pendleton, and contracted with Warburton to build a new mill. Remembered 300 or 400 yards of the walls being thrown down in May, 1864. Knew a mill had been built before by machine bricks, and did not anticipate any objection so much to himself using them as against the makers. Had to employ carters to cart the bricks, who were often molested. Had to employ two men armed all the time to watch, and it cost him £lOO. He was armed himself. Was never threatened personally, but understood there was danger. Constantly saw hand-made brickmakers sneaking about the premises, but they never would face him. Altogether the damage to the walls and other losses incidental to the interference was from £3OO to £4OO. Any man that was honest would say machine bricks were better, heavier, and cheaper than the hand-made. They could be set better, and could be made all the year round. Determined to finish his mill with machine bricks and did. Warburton did his work in a workmanlike manner, and he was sorry he parted with him. John Clifford sworn—ls a labourer. In 1864 was a master brickmaker at Stalybridge, employing nine men, two women, and two boys. At Whitsuntide between Friday and Saturday had 7,000 bricks spoilt because he employed non-Union men. Two Union men came before that, and said he was paying too little. They wished him to employ a gang of their men, but he would not. In Novem ber his shed was destroyed by fire, and a valuable dog was killed. They also spoilt about 2,000 bricks. Could not form any notion of the number of men who did it. At the latter end of the same Novem ber a bottle was thrown into the room where he and his wife and four children slept at two minutes to twelve in the night. The bottle struck a chair at the window and rebounded into the street, and there exploded. Another bottle was found buried in some ashes at Cock Brook, near his place, next day. It was filled with powder, and had a fuse. After that employed a watchman. Remained there till August. Was called " knobstick," and dared not go through Ashton after dark. Gave up his yard because he thought it was better than to lose his life. He was ruined in his business, and was now a labourer. The Court adjourned at half-past three o'clock, in consequence of the absence of a witness for whom it had waited nearly 20 minutes. THE EMPEROR OF ABYSSINIA. The following is a description of Theodore 11., taken from a book published last year in France by a gentleman who was for some time French Vice- Consul at Massowah The man on whose head now rests the lot of Abyssinia is forty-six years of age. He is of average stature, of an imposing carriage, and of an open and , sympathetic physiognomy. His features, less regular than those of most Abyssinians, are expressive and changeable, and have none of that borrowed dignity which marks certain Oriental faces with solemn insignificance. The look is lively and piercing ; the distinct lines of the profile well express the firm will which has enthralled the freest and least docile people of the East. Rigorous towards others in matters of etiquette, the Negus has emancipated himself in matters of costume, and affects a negli gence which, however, never becomes bad taste. A simple soldier's coat, a pair of trousers, and a belt from which hang pistols and an English sword, and over all a chama, or embroidered toga—this is his habitual costume. It has sometimes happened that Europeans presented to him have hesitated among the crowd of silk pourpoints (balakanzis) which sur round him, and committed mistakes which have much diverted him. This disdain of all luxury go verns all his acts. The furniture of his tent is of the simplest, while his residences at Magdala and Debra Tabor are encumbered with silks and stuffs from France and India. In the field he wears the coarse black infantry buckler, while by his side trots the page charged with his state shield, covered with blue velvet scattered with imperial lilies. That which at first is the most striking in Theodore is a happy combination of suppleness and force—especially of force. Born proud, violent, and inclined to pleasure, he commands his passions in this sense—that they never make him overstep the limits he has marked out for himself. He has been unjustly accused of drunkenness, and on this subject the late French Consul has collected some information. He is very sober, eats little, drinks more, but never up to any marked over excitement, far less to coarse drunken ness more worthy of a yolof or Mandingo king than of a sovereign of Christian Abyssinia. As to women they have never had the least influence on his public life, excepting his first wife, the good and regretted Tzoobedje, for whom he had always a sort of wor ship. She had been, however, the faithful com panion of his days of trial, and when he lost her 7 or 8 years ago he saw in this death a chastisement which Heaven inflicted on him for having burned a woman alive at Godjam. Tzoobedje had kept him in the simple life and pious practices of an Abys sinian of the old time. A marriage of ambition has been the indirect cause of the irregularities be has since made public. To put an end, by a kind of fusion, to the preten sions of the family of Oubie, he married, about six years ago, the daughter of the latter, the young Toroneche, who had throughout Abyssinia the repu tation of an accomplished princess. Witty, accom plished, charming, she had scarcely any defect but the obstinate pride which is a very general draw back with Abyssinians of a certain rank. For two or three yearq the most perfect union reigned in this household. Theodore had for his graceful partner a tenderness in which pride had no small part, and when she bad given him a son he assembled all the grandees at a theatrical fete and showed them the new-born, saying, " Behold him who will reign over you." it is doubtful whether the guests took seriously an observation against which the elder sons of the Negus had the right to protest. One day, on the occasion of the Easter fetes, itegh6 rforoneche asked her husband for the pardon of some Tigrian chiefs, kept in irons for their attachment to Oubie. This legitimate demand excited in the highest degree the suspicions of the irritable Negus. " What do you mean ?" he asked. " Do you prefer your father to me ?" " Perhaps I do," answered the haughty princess. She had scarcely spoken when a violent blow fell on her cheek. Bell, who wished to inter vene, received another. ()able, who Lsince the mar riage had been restored to favour, was placed in loons, and has not since recovered his liberty. Moreover, the Negus, to inflict a deadly blow on his wife, at once took four favourites from the lowest ranks. This first explosion over, he dis misse d them all except one woman of the Yedjo- Gallt is, who has none of the physical or moral char las of the iteghe, but who skilfully retains her capricious lover by a number of cares and atten tions which the proud Toroneche has the impru dence to despise. What shows the abasement of the national character is that those who surround the Negus have taken his part in the scandal. The church alone protests by the voice of some venturous priests. At Easter, Theodore being obliged by decorum to communicate obtains absolution only on the condition of promising to change his con duct. Ile then goes to see the iteghe, who still exercises a certain ascendancy over him—for he is proud to be the husband of a woman so admired. He passes an hour in listening to the most biting and hardest truths, and if he occasionally rages and threatens, the iteghe reminds him coldly that no Negus has ever killed his wife, and that she knows well he will not dare to begin. Theodore then re turns somewhat ashamed to his little court, makes a public confession, declares " that he is really the most scandalous sinner in Ethiopia—that he is in spite of himself ; that it is a victory of the devil— s victory which should make us feel our weakness and nothingness. Finally, he promises to try and do better, and dismisses the favourite. Easter over, he takes her back again, and sometimes adds a second. In these freaks all with the Negus is cal culated for effect. He is theatrical, fakerer, as say the Abyssinians. It is just the shade which the great Latin comic writer renders by gloriosus. When he gives audience to strangers, to chiefs who come to make submission, he leans negligently on two magnificent tame lions, while two others roll, gape, or stretch at his feet; and he enjoys like a child the emotion which this formidable living deco ration inspires in the visitor. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. THE SUN, LONOON. THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1867. the editor of the Builder, Sept 3, 1845, confirm positively my assertions; and lam surprised that Mr. E. Pugin can, in the face of his father's pub lished assertions, make statements which, if correct, must disgrace his father's memory. Mr. A. W. Pugin had fairly earned enough laurels of his own, and his mind was of too high an order to wear honours to which he had no claim. Two men, great in architecture and in art, have passed away, who in life enjoyed each other's friend ship. Peace be to their memories ! and whatever may be the merits of the Houses of Parliament, the great work which Sir Charles Barry has alone de signed, he had the wisdom to appreciate the talents and to enlist for certain parts of it the service of Mr. A. W. Pugin, who was happy in working with one who was so intimately his friend, and to whose opinion on matters of art he paid such deference, and for whom he had the greatest respect.—Your obedient servant, TALBOT BultY. 50, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square, Sept. 14. P.S. Absence from town bas prevented my send ing an earlier reply to Mr. E. Pugin's letter. THE PUBLIC MAME (From the Registrar-General's Return.) The following is the weekly return of the Regis trar-General of births and deaths in London and in 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom : In the week that ended on Saturday, September 17, 4,339 births and 3,105 deaths were registered in London and in 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 26 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality last week was 21 per 1,000 in London, 19 in Edinburgh, and 26 in Dub lin, 17 1 id, 3 n 6 39 in Bristol,n a Leeds, 33 in Birmingh a m, 33 i n Liverpool, Manchester, 36 i n S a lf or d , 31 i n Sheffield, , 38 in H u ll, 42 i n Newcastle upon-Tyne, and 26 in Glasgow. The 2,667 deaths returned last week in the 10 large English towns showed an increase of 85 upon those of the previous week, and the deaths from diarrhcea rose from 507 to 577. The death rate had somewhat decreased in both London and Bris tol, while in each of the other eight towns it was higher ; the increase being almost entirely due to the fatality of infantile diarrhcea. Of the annual death rates per 1,000 from all causes in the week the mortality from diarrhcea was 2 in Bristol, 3 in London, 6 in Liverpool, 8 in Newcastle and Sheffield, 11 in Hull and Leeds, 12 in Birmingham and Manchester, and 13 in the borough of Salford. In London the births of 1,044 boys and 1,014 girls, in all 2,058 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1857-66, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,009. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,262. It was the 37th week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,250. The deaths in the present return slightly exceed the estimated number. The mortality from diarrhoea and cholera exhibits a slight tendency to increase. Thirty-seven deaths from diarrhoea occcurred in the west districts, 63 in the north, 16 in the central, 46 in the east, and 41 in the south districts. Diarrhoea and cholera are especially fatal to the young, who when attacked succumb more readily to the disease than per sons in the prime of life. 193 children and 11 male adults died last week from diarrhoea, and the deaths of 21 children and four adults from cholera or choleraic diarrhoea were recorded. The registrar of thesub-district of St. Botolph, East London, states in reference to the death of a child from choleraic diarrhoea at 25, Cutler-street, Ald gate, that " the father of the child complains of the bad state of the drains under the house, and the stench arising from all kinds of filth accumulated near his door." The mortality by cholera and diarrhcea during the last five weeks was at the annual rate in 10,000 living of 33 deaths in the New River districts ; 26 in the Southwark, Lambeth, and Kent ; 41 in the Grand Junction, West Middlesex, and Chelsea; 45 in the districts supplied with water by the East London Company. Seventeen deaths occurred last week from small pox, 15 from measles, 38 from scarlatina, 25 from whooping cough, 30 from typhus, and four from delirium tremens. The daughter of an Italian warehouseman, aged 17 years, died on the Ist Sept., at North Audley-street, Hanover-square, from eat ing poisonous mushrooms (28 hours). (Inquest.)

The lowest night temperature was 49.1 d eg ., on Saturday, Sept. 14, The entire range of temperature in the week TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,--In Mr. E. Pugin's assertions respecting the Houses of Parliament, published in the Times of the 7th inst., he has thought fit to introduce my name ; and as, in justice to myself as well as to the other parties, an explanation is required, I trust you will allow me the advantage of a little of your valuable space for that purpose, more particularly after the lengthy statement he has been permitted to make in your columns. Mr. E. Pugin observes that " my statements have been simply met with counter-statements, for to say that the contradictory and partial assertions of Messrs. Talbot Bury, Wolfe, &c., in any way prove themselves or each other, is mere folly." He also states :—" The evidence they give of Sir Chas. , Barry's competition drawings being in pencil is correct. My father's competition drawings were also in pencil ; and this gives great probability to Mr. Talbot Bury's revelation made to me on the 11th of August last, that "many of my father's de signs were re-drawn by Barry, so that the same touch should not be detected in his and in Mr. Gil. lespie Graham's designs." Now, this statement of a " revelation," on which some stress might be laid by , those uninformed of facts, is positively and altogether untrue, as on the evening to which he refers, when he was in my house for a half hour, I clearly stated that "my old friend, his father, had never worked on Mr. Barry's competition drawings, but he assisted him in the details of the internal finishings of the rooms ;" so this is a wilful misstatement to which my name has been added. The assertion that the competition drawings of Mr. G. Graham and Sir Charles Barry were " finished in pencil " evinces his utter ignorance of facts (certainly Mr. E. P. was not one year old when this took place) ; and is like wise untrue, and without any foundation, as I worked with A. W. Pugin on the designs for Mr. G. Graham, having made the plans and sections, and I affirm that they were made in Indian ink. I saw Sir Charles Barry's drawings at the same time, rather offere d tawmpenoeneufritg aedtei r:enlegerds ef n, asserts, h ru r n ae i and they were finished in light Indian ink, in a style mmo peculiarfoamr.nd eearyi.ranctEgi t asnms o em. himself. I must here observe that no one saw the set of designs we were engaged on for Mr. G. Graham but ourselves ; so that Mr. E. Pugin cannot plead that he has been misinformed on the subject. What Sir Charles Barry's designs for Trentham (a mansion erected for the late Duke of Sutherland) had to do with the Houses of Parliament is a ques tion too difficult for me to make out ; I cannot see any similarity between them as regards their pur poses, and most assuredly there is none in their ' respective styles of art. Among other statements made by Mr. E.

In the design on which we were engaged A. W. Pugin confined his plan of the building to the limits of the existing ground, whereas Sir Charles Barry's encroached a long way into the river, thereby gaining a great additional space and area. This great and essential difference in the design's is con clusive evidence of their being the work of two minds. A. W. Pugin was staying at my house (after Mr. G. Graham's drawings were completed) when he first went to see Mr. Barry's plans and designs for the Houses of Parliament, and on his return he spcke to me of them, and communi cated to me, ig very laudatory terms, the mode Mr. Barry had adopted to gain the neces sary space for the buildings, which he stated he had overlooked ; he likewise gave me a description of the elevations and general peculiarities of the design. This c9nfutes the preposterous assertions made by Mr. E. Pugin as to the originator of the executed designs, and puts to silence the false statement that there was another design for the Houses of Parlia ment which has " been lost sight of," &c., and was used by Sir Charles Barry. Mr. E. Pugin states :—" Another entry shows that my father was engaged on ' sections ;' will my opponents inform me whether ' compositions, com partments, and sections' mean only details ? and will Mr. Talbot Bury, who is so in earnest in de scribing these and other drawings merely as ' draw ings for tenders,' reconcile this absurd depreciation with the fact that drawings for tenders' mean working drawings," &c. In reply to these observations, which the public generally cannot understand and care nothing about, I have only to add that as A. W. Pugin was my most intimate friend, we were frequently at each other's houses, and that I knew all the work he did for the Houses of Parliament from first to last, and I can affirm that he never laid any claim to the de sign for that building; his public repudiation of it, written under no pressure (the fair copy of which was written at my house), he said, was nothing but " an act of justice to Sir Charles Barry," and I am now only defending the character of my friend in vindicating him from a charge of falsehood, which would be the case if his public statement was at variance with that made to his friends generally. In that document he states clearly " that I am en gaged by him (Mr. Barry), and him alone, to assist in preparing working drawings and models from his designs of all the wood engravings and other details of the internal decorations," and " in fulfilling the duties of my office 1 do not do anything whatever on my own responsibility," and " in fine, my occu pation is simply to assist in cawing out practically Mr. Barry's own designs and views in all respects." These quotations from Dir. A. W. Fugin's letter to was, therefore, 24.1 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 63.2 deg. ; that of the lowest was 61.6 deg.

In the preceding week the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the river was 48,342,133 gallons, or 219,640 cubic metres. THE CHOLERA IN ALBANO. ALBAYO, Sept. 11.—It is now 12 days since the last case of cholera occurred, and the Albanese are beginning to recover from the panic into which they were at first thrown by the sudden and unexpected outbreak of the epidemic. The mortality has been fearful : it has exceeded decimation. In the summer season, when the 'town is full of visitors, it may count 8,000 inhabitants, but the ordinary popula tion is between 6,000 and 7,000. Now, the visitors fled almost to a man upon the first alarm, so that the disease committed its principal ravages on the ordinary inhabitants of the town, of whom it carried off, according to the municipal register, 775. There is hardly a house but has lost an occupant, or a family but has been bereft of one or more of its members. In some cases whole families of six and seven have perished. It is sad to see the number of women in mourning who promenade the streets in the evening. The Italians, as usual, attribute the disease to the will of God, and seem not to have the slightest suspicion that their own dirty habits might possibly have something to do with it. Albano, like most Italian towns, contains but two or three streets,which are kept in anything like decent order, and the rest consists of back-slum. The pure mountain air and fresh sea breezes may long pre vent the atmospheric infection from entering the town ; but once in, it will find a soil of putrefying, festering filth in which to germinate and multiply until a tenth of the population are thrown like diseased carrion by cart loads into the lime pit, and the others are left to mourn them. Up to the present moment Gensano and the other villages are shut against us. Whea anybody ap proaches the " cordoni," or barriers, he is asked where he comes from. If he can prove that he comes from any other place he is allowed to enter, but if he comes from Albano he is fumigated, and conducted by a man with a gun in his hand through the principal street of the town and shown out at the other side. Upon no pretence is an inhabitant of Albano permitted to enter a house in any of the surrounding villages. The Zouaves, who behaved so handsomely in the thick of the epidemic, have gained golden opinions among the Albanese, and some golden medals froni his Holiness. There is, however, a very general feeling that the Papal Go vernment has not behaved quite fairly in the matter. The first detachment of 30 odd men who arrived the day after the cholera broke out have alone re ceived the medals, while the rest of the company, who entered the town two days afterwards, and who worked, as I myself can bear witness, quite as zealous in the cause of humanity as their more fortunate comrades, have been left unrewarded. The state of his Holiness's finances may have something to do with the matter, but it is not for the sake of the metal that the brave fellows value such rewards, and 130 bronze medals would have cost less and answered the purpose much better than the 30 odd gold ones have done. THE MANUFACTURES AND COMMERCE OF A USTIUA AND RUSSIA. The following is the report by Mr. Bluer, her Majesty's Secretary of Embassy, on the commerce and finance of Austria : " VIENNA, March 1, 1867. " Commerce.—The commerce and trade of Aus tria have not progressed, but have sunk to the lowest ebb, during the last year. whilst at the beginning of 1866 trade had already been disturbed, the spirit of speculation hushed, and the foreign commerce reduced to a state almost of stagnation by the menacing aspect of political events during the pre ceding periods, ruin has now come over almost every branch of industry in consequence of the disasters and misery entailed by the late unsuccessful war. The years 1861 and 1862 belonged to the most flourishing periods of Austrian commercial history. The abolition in 1860 of the last fetters that had hitherto restricted the freedom of inland trade an d intercourse had given a new impulse to industry and emulation, and had placed the Austrian empire on a footing of equality in the race of competition with the busy and intelligent com. mercial communities of Western Europe. But the advantage was of short duration, and the outbreak of the American war cast a dark shadow over reviv ing Austria. The cotton crisis, the closing of the American ports to Austrian production, the fourfold increase in price of the raw material had combined to reduce, ere the close of 1861, the consumption of cotton in Austria to a fifth part of its former amount, and thrown a proportional number of industrial establishments and their numerous workmen out of employ. The year 1863 had already opened the list of disasters. Unusually unfortunate harvests during that period of grain and of most other field produce in Hungary, inadequate crops of vine, together with visitations of murrain and cattle plague, brought many branches of industry to a dead lock, almost to the verge of ruin. Whole districts were without means of subsistence, and made dependent upon the succour and subventions of the Government, so that the commencement of 1865 found the whole Austrian empire incapable of profiting by the termination of the American struggle, and by the reopening of the markets of that rich and active community, with its eonstantdemands for Austrian grain and sugar. On such a position dawned the eventful year of 1866. Each week of that calamitous era increased the em barrassmen's of Austria ; the dire catastrophe of July sealed her fate, and laid her momentarily pros trate. Not her brave armies alone had so unfortu nately failed, despondency for a time was every where—commerce, industry, and trade were as if suspended. The official returns of the foreign com merce of Austria for the first three quarters, or from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, 1866, show a notable diminution both in the imports and exports, observable espe cially for the months of June, July, August, and Sept. In May and June it was the menace of war ; in Sept. the disasters of the past campaigns ; and during the whole period the disturbance on all lines of communication, whether by rail or water; the consequent stoppage of inland trade, and of all industrial speculation ; lastly, the daily fluctuations in the value of money—that produced the above un fortunate circumstances. But even in the earliest part of the past year a serious disturbance of the foreign commerce of Austria, especially towards Germany, had been caused by the still recent modi fications of July, 1865, of the commercial treaty with the Zollverein. " Imports. —In the imports of Austria an increase took place in 1866 in garden and field produce, especially grain ; in medical and chemical sub stances ; in precious metals ; in woven stuffs, par ticularly of the coarser linen kinds; in leather and leather wares. A decrease in the imports was ob servable in colonial produce—in tobacco and cigars; in fats and oils; in the inferior metals; in fuel, especially in coals (to the amount of 1,053,710 cwt.) ; in stuffs for wearing, and arms. " Exports.--The exports, on the other hand, showed an increase of grain and pulse ; on cattle for the shambles ; fats and fat oils, and metals ; whilst there was a decrease of exports in medical and che mical substances, perfumery, and colouring matters; in stuffs for wearing and tissues (sheep's wool) ; in yarns, and woven and worked goods. " The total value of the foreign commerce of Aus tria for 1865 amounted to 601,300,000 florins ; or, imports, 256,800,000 florins ; exports, 344,500,000 florins; showing an increase against 1864 of 23,100,000 florins ; or, imports, 2,000,000 florins ; exports, 21,100,000 florins. The value of the tran sit trade during the same period amounted to 115,600,000 florins, against 122,800,000 florins in 1864. The value of the foreign commerce of Dalmatia (for which portion of the em pire the tables are always compiled separately) amounted in 1865 to 19,200,000 florins ; or, im ports, 8,300,000 florins ; exports, 7,400,000 florins ; transit, 3,500,000 florins. Comparing, however, the results of 1865 with those of 10 years back, or 1865, we find the total value of Austria's foreign com merce to have increased by 136,000,000 florins ; or, imports, 10,000,000 florins; exports, 126,000,000 florins. It must be remembered, however, that in 1855 the rich province of Lombardy was still at tached to the Imperial Crown. Mr. Bonar states that " it would be difficult in deed without interminable study, perhaps after all of little value, to indicate precisely the proportion belonging to each of the several countries with which the very varied foreign commerce of Austria is car ried on," but says that "in a general way it may be shown by stating the amount of traffic registered at each particular frontier." He then appends an official table which gives the information alluded to. The report concludes as follows :—" The effect, however, of the last commercial treaty with the Zollverein, which came into force Ist July, 1865, cannot yet be adequately determined, nor that which must result from the falling away of the kingdom of Venetia from the Austrian empire. Approximately it is estimated that the latter circumstance will di minish by from 30,000,0001 to 40,000,000f1. annu ally the foreign commerce of Austria." Detailed and authentic tables of the Austrian imports and exports for the first nine months of 1866, compared also with the corresponding period of the preceding year, are subjoined. THE GREA7 POWER OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. The second article of the Round Table on " The Two Great Powers of the Future" is more just than the first, because the writer thoroughly understands the subject. When writing of Russia he was dis cussing a country of whose progress beyond its boundaries few men know anything. In discussing America he writes of the people among whom he dwells, whose destiny is marked so broadly, so clearly and indelibly, that it cannot be mistaken. The future of the Anglo-Saxon race in America may be prognosticated from the history of the Anglo-Saxon race elsewhere. Wherever that race has firmly planted its foot the tendency has been to grow. It matters not whether the position has been taken on a lonely waste or in the centre of teeming life. The records of British India furnish an ample illustration of the latter ; the story of British colonisation in Australia and New Zealand of the former. But of all the marvels of wonderful growth—of a mighty empire taking the place of the primeval forest--of the desolate prairie blooming into cultivation, intersected by highways and spotted with cities--of chains of the wildest mountains, pierced by rail and yielding up their hidden trea sures—the Northern Continent of America tells the most astonishing tale. It is a well-ascertained fact that the Anglo-Saxon adapts himself to circum stances of nature with a facility possessed by no other people. In the scorching heats of India among the myriads of subjected natives he is a warrior and a ruler, ready in case of necessity to take the field, in a season when every living thing shrinks from the fiery ordeal. In Australia, with his flocks and herds, he penetrates into unknown wastes, a shep herd and a patriarch. In New Zealand, with axe in hand, the greenwood rings as he clears away the mighty forest. Everywhere the tendency is onward ; the progress from straggling huts to centres of civilization, from trading factories to the throne of the Mogul. If then, when tried under such widely dissimilar circumstances, our race strides from settlement to empire, adapting themselves to each phase of the march, what is likely to be their future where circumstances all combine to favour the rapidity of the progress, where a continent con taining every element of greatness in climate, in soil, in natural features, has passed into their hands. In writing of the Future of America it is almost impossible to avoid a charge of "bunkum," and the Albion, remarking on this article of the Round Table, declares the reviewer, notwithstanding his declara tion to avoid the imputation, falls before reaching the concluding paragraphs into the most ultra spread eaglism of the day. The truth is that no one can faithfully pourtray the almost certain future of America without laying himself open to this. Suc cessive writers, from the days of the Puritan fathers, might every successive decade have made their pre dictions, and have heard these predictions denounced as "bunkum," yet have seen realised at the end of each epoch a progress greater than that they prophesied. The advance of the nation, comparatively slow at first, has increased till the speed has become prodigious. Nor is there any reason to doubt that what appears to us so wonderful a pace is still capable of much acceleration. As yet it is but the foundation that has been laid, the great difficulties of nature subjugated, and the road opened to the enterprise of mankind. The population, now over 35 ,000,000, will have increased before the end of the cep tury to 100,000,000, equalling, as the writer says, the present popula tions united, of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Hol land, Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom. It is well known to political economists that the nation most powerful, is that which best economises its material resources. The nations of Europe would have vastly increased their strength had they gene rally disarmed on the conclusion of the wars of Na poleon, and used the labour frittered away in military preparations in well-directed industry. One of the main reasons of England's strength is that being insular she was enabled to work in com parative security without keeping on foot armies of professional soldiers. This advantage the United States possesses in the highest degree. She receives au ever-flowing tide of immigration, which, added to the natural increase, g i ves an ex t raor dinary im petus to her population. E very individual is left a free agent to work out his own future, while the boundless resources of the land are freely open to his grasp. The prosperity of each makes the aggre gate wealth of the country, and as prosperity is more the reward of industry in America than else where, at the same time the spur is applied to en terprise the entire nation in common with the in dividual reaps the beneficial results. There is a large party in America—as there is in every country where the people are not sunk in apathy.and ego tism everready to predict ruin. The Albion speaks of "the national bounce and vain-gloriousness in the bom bastic and reckless Republic ;" adding, " we have our own peculiar views as to where the two great Powers of the Future will be found." Such views are natural enough among those mixed up with the corruption, the turmoil, and incendiarism of the present. But although we freely admit the difficulties and dangers surrounding the Republic, we regard them as the natural obstacles in every path to greatness. There is more point, in Mr. Seward's remark in his de spatches on the Alabama Claims, wherein he terms the great civil war a domestic trouble, than people choose now to see. These events, however large in proportion, however lasting in influence, are mere episodes in the mighty march of the nation. It would be almost impossible to do more than tempo rarily to delay the eventful arrival of the United States at the pinnacle of power. Constitutions may be swept away, customs may change, but nothing will materially retard the growth of the American people into the mightiest of nations. It may be called " spread-eagleism, bunkum, and vulgar twaddle," but in sober earnest no man can look into the future of the Republic without seein,; a power rising before him which almost surpasses his com prehension. The Round gable alludes to the Cana dian dominion as certain to be absorbed in the Re public, even without action on the part of the United States, merely obeying a law of attraction, by which the greater surely draws to itself the lesser. Indeed Canada, whether as an indepen dent power or as States of the Union, must partake of the destiny of the R s eiptus laws blic. and The policy of the domi n ion, as well as literature, cannot but be materially influenced by its gigantic neighbour. In semblance, independence may be retained, but the tendency must be to move with the Republic. The puzzle is not on th e Northern boundary, but on the Southern ; it ig Mexico that furnishes the American problem. Th e writer in the Round Table evidently holds views similar to those some time since expressed by us that the United States will have to deal with Mexico as the Viceroy of India deals with independen t native powers ; the writer, scouting the idea of admitting such a horde of half-domesticated wil d beasts to a share in governing the Union, whi ch would presuppose, he says, a measure of de generacy, or a depth of folly hardly reached as yet' The experiment of Republican institutions among such a race has had a long and most disastrous trial, and as it is clearly shown that they canno t govern themselves it i s necessary that they shoal be governed, u n l ess a country that tn,ty be terme d the garden of the world is to be barred to mankin d ' The writer predicts that an American army march to Mexico, and establish there a governnien of power to make the guilty tremble, of law t ° give the inoffensive peace, of progress to give the enlightened, if there be such, hope. In a century or two the Mexicans may be fit for self-govern ment, but till then it will become the duty of the, United States t o en f orce a system of law au,u, order. It cann o t b e expecte d t h at the U n ite' , States will pause in their progress southwaru till they reach th a t hi g h way o f the world, the Isthmus of Panama. But although the Round Tab le passes into South America, we believe that the con fines of the great Republic will be attained when its dominion extends from the North Pole to where the Atlantic and Pacifi c O ceans so near : y join. Their territory will then be the most extensive, and at the . some time the most comp ac t, an d t h e i r race all but homogeneous. Whatever m a y b e th e destiny of Russia, about America we believe there can be u o mistake, and it has even now arrived at such stage of colossal greatness as to be fitly described, in the words of the wr it er , th e grea t P ow er of the Western Hemisphere.—Anglo-American Times.
