General Grant took part in the special Cabinet meeting dar ing the day as the representative of the War Mice.

THE BO* I BA.Y MAILS. AN ELOPEMENT FRUSIRAIED. The Tailors' Strike. We regret to have to state that there . is no like lihood of even a distant settlement of this unfortu nate agitation. On Saturday the general committee and shop delegates of the Operatives' Association resolved on continuing the strike until success attend the efforts of the workmen, and at the same time suggested that a scheme should be prepared by which the movement could be carried on without transgressing the law as laid down by Baron Bramwell during the recent trials. Though this resolution may be to some degree palliated by the excitement of the time, there is no d'iubt that the men are taking a step, or rather continuing a course of procedure, which can only make their position daily worse and worse. They ought to know by this time that the masters are independent of those now on ,strike, for by the employment of non union operatives and the assistance of newly-in vented machinery the businessof the houses in which the movement began is now being carried on with the same regularity and nearly to the same extent' as previous to the commencement of the agitation. The issue must be inevitably against the men, and, indeed, they themselves tacitly confess their defeat, for they are organising a scheme of emigration by which many of those out of employment may pro ceed to America and other countries. It has also been resolved to hold an aggregate meeting of the trade as soon as possible to ratify the resolution of the committee to continue the strike. DUBLIN UNIVER N 0.417.

Gd. per day for six days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day; and in addition a sub sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the school or in the Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from November till May, will bo devoted to study at the School, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 23d September and three following days. .Py command of, their Lordships, GQIWON IZIOTOZ.

RACING SWEEPS AT TAVERNS. At the Southwark Police-court, no Saturday, W. Waters, Sportsman Tavern, Bermondsey New-road, was charged with unlawfully opening his house for the purpose of money being received on behalf of John Joseph Hall, for the undertaking and agreement to pay certain moneys as the result of a horse race ; and Hall, a newsvendor, was charged with publishing a placard concerning the same. This case was adjourned from Saturday, tho 10th inst., for tho purpose of counsel being heard, at the magistrate's suggestion. Mr. Meadows White now appeared for the Commis sioners of Police, and submitted that the defendants had rendered themselves liable under the Betting Act, the for mer by publicly selling tickets, and the latter by publishing a placard setting forth that there would be 200 members, at 2s. 6d. each, for the St. Leger race ; the first horse to have £lO, the second £5, and the third £2 10s, and £4 lOs among starters. If these conditions were fulfilled there would bo about £3 left for the promoters. The defendant Waters said he merely displayed tho placards becauso Hall asked him to do so, and to sell tickets for him. He did it to oblige Hall, w i t h out knowing that he was acting illegally. Mr. Arnold considered that this was not a case within the Betting Act. It was more like a lottery than any thing else. He did not think that the evidence had proved any infringement of the act. The summons against Waters was dismissed, but that against Hall was withdrawn to consider what proceedings should be takou. FREE SUNDAY AT THE CRYSTAL TALACE.—yes_ terday afternoon about 10,000 of the skilled artisans of London, their wives and families, assembled at the Crystal Palace, it being the free Sunday. granted by the directors every year to officers of the trade societies and other organisations of workmen. These tickets are neces sarily limited in number, and are distribuled through tho agency of the National Sunday League. Ilhe Palace was opened at 1 o'clock, from which hour until: dusk the visi tors promenaded the building and ground; t, the latter and the picture gallery being greatly patronise d. During the afternoon some short addresses were deliver 3d from the plat form on the great orchestra on the advantr►ges that would accrue to the working man were the palace., ;museums, and art galleries thrown open to them on the.. Sunday after noons. In the evening a selection of sa :red music was performed on the great organ. All pros sit seemed tho roughly to appreciate tho liberality of Ihe directors in granting the tickets and the labour of the Sunday League in superintending their distribution. The Emend and last free Sunday for the season is next Sunday for the friends of shareholders, for which the tickets are also distributed under the superintendence of the Sunday League. _ THE WESTERN FISHERY.—A large: quantity of red mullet was caught on the Cornish r, oast during the past week, of which London had a very liberal share ; the fish were sold in Cornwall at 2 d. and 3 d. each. Th e Cor nish pilchard fishery - was also at t ended with satisfac tory results. In a Belo() at Perran porth about 500 hogs heads were enclosed, aud at Nowquay two seines h a d a total of nearly GO hogsh, 'ads. The at.. Ives drivin g b oa t s averaged from 2,000 to AOOO fisli. per boat for several nights. The Peninsula and Oriental Company's steam ship Nyanza, Captain W. Curling, arrived at Southampton on Saturday evening with the heavy Bombay mails in charge of Mr. A. R. Douglas, of the General Post office. She brought 51 pas sengers, including Commander Lloyd, R.N., Major Long, Captain Tremlett, Captain Rowley, Captain Poynter, and Captain Cary ; £1,975 in specie, and a general cargo. The Nyanza', left Alexandria on the 13th inst., Malta on the 16th, and Gibraltar on the 20th. Fine weather was experienced through out the voyage, with light variable winds, mostly from the north-west and north. On the 18th the Nyanza spoke the steamship Celia, steering north-west ; on the 19th, the steamship Syria and the British bark Ambassador, of Shields, both steering east; on the 22d, the steamship Ceylon, steering to the southward and westward; on the 23d the steamship Mooltan, steer ing to the southward and westward ; and on the 24th the British ship Glenmark. Her Majezty's ships Hydra and Hibernia were at Malta, and the Redpole at Gibraltar. The Simoom, Captain Lethbridge, arrived at Gibraltar ou the morning of the 19th, having made an exceedingly quick passage from Halifax, Nova Scotia. She brought for Gibraltar the head quarters of the 15th Brigade Royal Artillery, under command of Colonel Clifford, and left for Malta on the morning of the 20th, a few hours before the departure of the Nyanza, in order to carry out other artillery reliefs. On her return to Gibraltar frcm Malta the Simoom will embark the last detachment of the Ist Brigade Royal Artillery, under Captain Price ) R.A., for conveyance to Halifax. The following British merchant steamers had arrived out at Gibraltar :—Aug. 14, the Lady Derby, Captain W. Hicks, 30 days from London and five from St. Nazaire, for Port Said ; 15th, the Venetian, Captain R. Mitchell, seven days from Liverpool for Genoa, &c., and the Macedon, Captain J.

The Austrian brig Anastasia, of Trieste, was wrecked on the 14th inst. at Cape Spartel, while,on her passage from Liverpool to Trieste with a cargo of coals. The crew were taken to Gibraltar on the following day from Tangier by the Lion Belge steamer. Exchanges at Gibraltar were quoted as follow London, 99 days' date, 50 3-16 d. to id. ; Paris, do., sf. 28c. ; Marseilles, do., sf. 28e. to 29c. ; Madrid, 8 days' sight, ito dis. ; Cadiz, do., par to II - pm. ; Seville, do., par ; Malaga, do., 4to dis. ; Barce lona, do., pm. to par ; Almeria, do., dis ; Va lencia, do., par.

Official notice was given at Gibraltar on the 16th inst. that " a communication hag been received from her Majesty's Consul at Malaga, dated the 12th inst., reporting that, by order of,the General Board of Health at Madrid, all vessels arriving at that port from Gibraltar are subjected tp a quarantine of three days' observation." The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 17th says : " We understand that the.orcler from the Cen tral Board of Health at Madrid declaring Gibraltar a foul port was yesterday evening -received by the Alcalde of San Roque. The order directs that all arrivals in a Spanish port from Gibraltar shall be sent to a laz Iretto, and that by land the same pre cautions shall be adopted as were observed last year —the adßission of all susceptible articles through the Spanish lines being prohibited. A private tele gram reports that the quarantine imposed in a Spa nish lazaretto on a vessel from Gibraltar is one of ten days. These rigorous measures are adopted, although the health of Gibraltar is excellent, be cause Gibraltar does not place a quarantine on Morocco, where the public health is equally good. As Morocco has now put a quarantine on Tunis and Algeria, we hope she will have purged herself of the taint attaching to her in the opinion of the Central Board of Madrid, and that the sentence of sanitary excommunication pronounced against her will be revoked, in which case, of course, Gibraltar will again be declared a clean port, since her only offence appears to be holding communication with Morocco.

It is officially announced that the main body of the insurgents in Arragon is moving towards the French frontier, closely pressed by the Royal troops. The Espana, a provincial journal, s ays :—" The news from Catalonia to-day, is completely satisfac tory, and in consequence the Captain-General has issued a proclamation granting au amnesty to any one making his submission to the authorities. At Reus perfect tranquillity prevails, and the insur gents who presented themselves at the Priory are dispersing and throwing away their arms. The numerous detachments of troops, skilfully dis tributed through that territory, which is the revo lutionists principal hope, will utterly destroy the insurgents. Barcelona is perfectly tranquil, and the manufactories are open. The rest of the prin cipality of Catalonia is is calm. Wherever the in surgents may be they will find the Royal army before them. The band which entered Spain by Upper Arragon is wandering between Hecho and Canfranc, menaced by several combined columns. The attitude of the inhabitants, of the army, and of the authorities, in their efforts to put down this last and supreme effort of revolution, has loft nothing to be desired. The bands of Aytonia and other leaders have been beaten almost without offering resistance." The €4rovernor of Girone publishes the following : ..-." Government of the province of Girone,—Two bands composed of ten men each have appeared in this province; they are being actively pursued by the armed force. In publishing this intelligence in an official and extraordinary bulletin, it is my duty, and in accordance with the frank feelings by which I am characterised, to assure the faithful inhabitants of the province that the appearance of those vaga bonds who, in the name of the revolutionists, desire nothing but plunde r and boots, shall in no respect disturb the p ublic or der.

Another of those escapades, in which the parties " love not wisely but tco well," has taken place here, and has a spice of romance about it which puts previ ous ones in the shade. The gay Lothario is the son of a retired colonel of the British army, and the fair one, the eldest daughter of a lolging-house keeper, but whose personal charms are said to be of the most winning nature. Whether they are so or not, they had such a charm for her lover of seven days' acquaintance that, knowing they could not be united in the bonds of wedlock here, he at once pro posed an excursion to London, where they could be conveniently made one ; but their brief history adds an additional proof to the truth of the old adage that " the course of true love never yet run smooth.''' The story is simply this. A very short time ago, a retired colonel came with his family tcyre.side on one of the many pleasant terraces crownigg the Glan mire Hill. He took furnished 1012-6-in the house of a Mrs. 8., who happens to ha'ti , e, to say the least of them, two very nice dau ers--one about 19, the other 22. They had t' been two days ac quainted when the colo el's son, who has just reached his majority, was smitten with the beauty of the latter girl, and during the hours of dewy eve he and she used to ramble along the shady lanes that are to be met with in that well-favoured locality. Their acquaintance grew into reciprocal love, and on the proposal of the gallant swain they eloped last Saturday, making their stay here for the few days before their departure for England in the suburbs of the quint little town of Passage. Here they spent Sanday and Monday unknown and unno ticed, though the vigilant head-constable of the dis trict(Hoare) was seeking after them all Monday. The young lady's mother finding she did not return home on Saturday night thought that something was , wrong, for she did not fail to see the gentle passion growing between her daughter and her lover ; and thinking that with such a match her first-born would not be in the wrong box did not restrain her,; but when she learned that, without the nuptial knot having been tied, her daughter had cut, her indig nation was very great. She gave a minute descrip tion of the pair to the constabulary here, and police men watched each departing train and steamer, scanning with eager eyes the travellers by them in trying to discover the truants ; but the lot fell to Head-constable Hoare, who yesterday " captured" them on board the steamer for Bristol. After her arrival at Passage from Cork he went on board, and was not there long when he saw the objects of his search coming in. the gangway. They appeared rather nervous, and were completely shaken when the head-constable went up to them just as they were entering the cabin, and informed them that he wished to know their names, putting the plea for doing so more on the present state of the times, when the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act is in force, than anything else. The gentleman an swered that he was " Mr. Smith," and that the lady who accompanied him was "Mrs. Smith." He was not, however, to be dodged, and told them bluntly so, as the vessel was going in a few minutes, in forming them in addition that he knew well who they were, and that he had been on the scent for them for the past 24 hours. When the male lover saw the game was up he became possessed with the fear of incarceration; but the head-constable restored his equanimity by assuring him that such would not follow, but that he and his lady-love should leave the steamer and come with him. This they rather quietly did, and were conducted to au hotel, from which the head-constable telegraphed to Cork for the young lady's mother. On her arrival the scene that ensued was a painful one to the principal parties; but after awhile matters improved, and they and Mrs. B. left for Cork—the young lady going to her home, but where her disappointed lover retired to is not known.—Cork Constitution. 711 E GROWTH OF Si'. LOUIS. (New York Evening Post.) Sixty-two years ago, remarked a writer in the Galaxy, the adventurous explorers, Lewis and Clark, bade farewell to civilisation at the village of St. Louis, and began their journey through the vast unknown wilderness which lay between the Missis sippi and the Pacific Ocean. Sixty-two years ago St. Louis was a village, and an outpost of civilisation ; to-day it is the sixth city in the Union in point of population, and one of the most important centres of commerce in the country. It has behind it a State containing over a million of inhabitants ; and west of that the wilderness into which Lewis and Clark penetrated, and of whose wonders and riches they told tales which were not believed, though the tenth-part was not known to them, is dotted with States, spanned by telegraph wires, and has a railroad laid nearly across its whole extent. There is a general anxiety for good crops this year, and the rainy weather which we have had on the seaboard for several weeks has led many persons to fear that the crops all over the country may be injured by rains. But a correspondent of the Evening Post at Niles, in Michigan, wrote, a few days ago, that in his neighbourhood the country is suffering from drought, and rain is urgently desired. Our country is so vast that no reasoning founded upon the condition of one part of it will apply to the whole ; and its intercourse is so unobstructed, trade is free over so great a region, that the people are able to remedy, very quickly, any mishap in one section. West of the Mississippi, in lowa and Kansas, the Colorado potato bug has appeared in such numbers that farmers can no longer plant the potato with any hope of a crop. An ingenious fellow contrived a machine, drawn by a horse, which shakes the bug of the vine into a box, where they are crushed by a cylinder ; but even this ma chine does not save the potatoes. Will the farmers and mechanics of lowa and Kansas have to do with out potatoes therefore ? Not at all ; Congress, fortunately, cannot make the roots dearer by a pro tective tariff upon those imported from the neigh bouring States ; and the lowa farmer, under free trade with the States east of the Mississippi, will get his potatoes at a cheap rate in exchange for pro ducts which he can raise. Our population, reinforced by an enormous im migration from Europe, is spreading over the con tinent with marvellous rapidity. There is no longer a " far West ;" the arts and customs of civilisation are already naturalised over nearly the whole of the great region through which Louis and Clark jour neyed at the hazard of their lives, little more than half a century ago, and which was then as utterly unknown as a great part of Africa. The Rocky Mountains no longer oppose their barrier to our progress ; the western frontiersman ridicules them instead of fearing them ; and a Western wit ex presses, in the peculiar manner of the men who " sleep on the prairie and drink out of its rivers," his contempt for such slight obstructions by the remark, "We are already levelling the Rocky Mountains and carting the dirt out west ; I had a letter last week from my cousin, who is living two hun3red miles west of the Pacific shore, on made land." THE YORK CUP.—The trophy for 1867 is designed in the Italian style, and rests on au ebony stand, its height being 36 inches. At the base of the richly gilt cup are winged horses in frosted silver, and the cover is sur mounted with:a. figure of Victory. The bas-rolievi aro in frosted silver, and aro placed on the stand. They repre sent two evouts in the history of York. Ono the memor able occasion when, in 1289, King Richard 11. presented his sword to William do Selby, then Mayor of York, with permission .and authority for the chief magistrate on all future times to have the said sword borne before him with the point erect, except in the King's presence, and with this privilege granted a charter to the city, from which time the dignity of Lord Mayor has always been enjoyed by the chief magistrate. The other reliovo is in the time of Edward IV., A.D. 1478, when the Lord Mayor, John For riby, conducted that monarch into the city, on the occasion of his Majesty's visit " To his loving subjects, the citizens of York." On each side of the stand are groups of armour and weapons of war in burnished gold, with a banner bear ing the city arms. • SCIENTIFIC . .70T7 INGS: Certain bodies are attracted by magnets, others repelled; the former are called magnetic, the others diagmanatic. At his lectures at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metier; M. Becquerel shows this by hanging the body to be experimented upon to one of the scales of a balance between the poles of a strong electro-magnet; whenever the current breaks the equilibrium, the body is either attracted or re pelled. But it is not possible to do so with a gas. M. Chautard, professor of the Faculty of Sciences at Nancy,' has, however, imagined a method by which he meets the difficulty. He encloses, by a clever manipulation, the gas he wants to ex periment upon in a bubble of glycerine soap. Thus, a bubble filled with oxygen is suspended over an electro magnet, and strongly illuminated by a Drummond light. Then, every time the current passes, there is an unmistakable oscillation in the bubble. M. Chaulard also shows experimentally the diamagnetism of the vapour of magnesium. He burns the metal under the poles of an electro mag net; the white column of smoke resulting there from is visibly split into two branches as soon as the current passes. Dr. Vellari of Florence has found by experiment : 1, that wood has a co-efficient of dilatation increasing with the temperature ; 2, that it has a minimum co-efficient in the direction parallel to the fibres, and a maximum one transversally ; 3, that it has a very small co efficient of dilatation by imbibition in the direc tion of the fibres, and a very large one transversally ; 4, that it is a better conductor along the fibres and transversally ; and 5, that it has the power of con siderably retarding electric currents. Mr. Goold has measured the longitude betwean Valentia, Ire lan.i, and Heart's Content, Newfoundland, by means of the Atlantic cable, and found it to be 4 hours, 53 min., 54 sec., and 5-10ths of a second. We find a curious controversy in the Journal des Connaissances Medicales. It is well known that phosphorus exercises a poisonous action on the ani mal economy; the question is, how this action takes place ? MM. Woehler and Frerichs say that the phosphorus is transformed into phosphorus and hypo-phosphorus acids, and thus causes the noxious phenomena; but this is refuted by Sawitsch and Schuchardt. Munk and Leyde suppose it to be con verted into phosphoric acid in the stomach; but the symptoms produced by the latter are not similar to those caused by natural phosphorus. Most physi cians imagine that the original substance is carried into the blood in its natural state, and there oxi dised ; but Dr. Dynkowski proves by experiment that it is converted into phosphuretted hydrogen gas. Citric acid is often adulterated in shops by the addition of tartaric acid ; M. Blather recom mends the following process for discovering the fraud the adulterated mixture be treated with hydro-carbonate of magnesia, a neutral—terrtra6e. of magnesia is formed, which is insoluble. This method, however,. is only available when there is at least one-fourth of tartaric acid in, and Moreover the liquid must be boiled for a minute or two. If under such circumstances there is no precipitate, the citric acid is pure, or at least very slightly adul terated.--Bottles may be hermetically closed by means of gelatine caps. Gelatine mixed with gly cerine yields a compound which is liquid when hot, but becomes solid by cooling, at the same time re taing much elasticity. To apply it, all that need be done is to dip the neck of the bottle into the liquid mixture ; and by repeating the operation the cap may be made as thick as we please. BETTING CIRCULARS. A communication has been addressed to Alderman Sir Robert Carden, in his capacity of a magistrate at the Man sion House, calling attention, with the view of putting people on their guard to a printed circular which the writer says is being widely circulated at present, and may, he apprehends, have most mischievous consequences, a copy of it having been addressed to himself, a poor clerk with a family, among others. It is upon the subject of betting, and purports to emanate from a person who alleges that he has discovered a principle of backing horses by which "winning to any amount is reduced to a certainty," and that in the years '64, '65, and '66 he carried it out with the most incredible success. He offers to impart his secret for £lOO, and on receiving a written agreement guaranteeing him,in addition, £9OO out of the first £9,000 cleared by the person to whom ho shall communicate it. For less, he adds, he cannot divulge the process entirely; but for every £lO invested he guaran tees a return of £6O a week; for £2O invested, £l6O ; for £3O, £330 ; and for £5O invested, £7OO a week ; and "so on," ho says, "deducting 10 per cent. as commission." He says further, that "statistics clearly prove that there are every week, and have been ever since the establishment of racing, several horses on which you may stake £l,OOO with the positive certainty of 'landing' every bet ;" and then he puts down certain amounts alleged to have been won by the adoption of the system, " starting with £lOO capital"—namely, in 1864, £30,000 ; in 1865, £28,100 ; and in 1866, £29,000 ; adding, that " all calculation is baffled when an attempt is made to arrive at the point where the profits of this infallible system really terminate." Sir Robert Carden's correspondent, believing that the circula tion of such a missive, unaccompanied by any word of caution or warning, may be attended with incalculable mischief, by inducing simple people to part with their money—and, what is worse, to drift into the pursuits of professional betting men —has appealed to him with a view to its public exposure. PIGEON SHO 01 IN G. GUN CLUB. There was a moderato attendance of the &embers on the ground on Saturday last, and after a match at starlings had been decided between Mr. Norris and Mr. Gregory, which the former won, the usual .£l. Sweepstakes wore re sorted to, the first of which was won by Mr. Norris, after having 'competed well with Captain Talbot, Mr. Davies, and Mr. Gregory; the latter gentleman, however, won the second and third in each instance, bringing down the whole of the five birds. Captain Talbot took the fourth, and likewise won the fifth, scoring five in succession, and genoi-ally killing remarkably well with his second barrel. Mr. Gregory won the sixth. The betting was 2 to 1 on the gun, and at that price a large amount of money changed hands. DONCASTER GRAND STAND IMPROTEMEN"I'S.—The en trance to the stand has been enlarged, the vestibule will be much wider, recesses are formed, and counters fixed in them for the sale of tickets. Tho antiquated ticket-boxes are gone to the lumber-room. There aro now two door ways, each of which is as wide as the old one, and if found desirable they may bo used separately fcr ingress and egress.
