There was a goodly attend ance, principally of those working men whom both parties agree to pay so much court to just now. A few years ago very little attention was paid to the political views of our artisans and agricultural la bourers. Now, in the race of Reform, they are thought all-important, and whichever party can muster the largest meeting of working men holds itself triumphant. Extremes usually meet, and there is not much doubt but things will presently settle at a suitable medium, leaying the industrial classes a voice in the direction of public affairs without giving them actual predominance. It is a noticeable fact that whatever the opinion of the Liberals the Conservatives think their leaders have made great concessions, and some evidently are only half satisfied at the wholesale change in prospect. The Hon.T. DE GREY, who addressed the Norwich meeting on Thursday, said, in referring to the Ministerial Reform Bill, that it was hardly to be expected that a Conservative Government would come forward with such a wide measure of enfran chisement. "It was a matter of anxiety to their usual supporters whether they could support such a measure. He had done so because he felt that after the agitation without, and the undoubted desire which existed on all sides that the question should be settled, the Government bad no other choice but to endeavour frankly and honourably, and to the best of their ability, to settle it." Mr. DE GREY said truly enough that to draw an arbitrary line below which no one should be admitted to the fran chise would only mate discontent. This was the weak point of Mr. GLADSTONE'S proposal, and it is only wonderful that he should have fixed upon so unsatisfactory a distinction between his own scheme and that of the Government. A household suffrage or a rating suffrage is founded on a principle which every one can understand ; but no principle can ex plain the virtue which resides in the payment of £5 and is excluded from £4. It has been the fault of most Reform Bills that they have been too restricted and arbitrary, not only in the numbers which they admitted to the franchise, but in the principle of their admission. Mr. FERRAND'S speech on Thursday was, as usual, very much to the purpose. He addressed himself mainly to the working men, of whom his audience was chiefly composed. Notwithstanding his un doubted Toryism, Mr. FERRAND spoke sensibly and liberally enough as regards the position of the English working-man. He very soon dis posed of the dismal pictures of oppression and hu miliation drawn by some public speakers. In no country in the world, he declared, was there to be found a greater share of the wealth divided with the working men ; they deserved to receive it un grudgingly. " Remember, working men," he ex claimed, " that every office, every trust, every honour, within these realms, are as open to you as to the highest and richest in the land ; and there is not an hour in which some working man in this country, or some other country, does not step out of his ranks, boldly and honestly confiding in his talents and integrity to advance step by step." There is nothing, as Mr. FERRAND showed, to prevent such a man from rising to the highest offices of State, and becoming the companion of the QUEEN herself ; but this very freedom which used to be the boast of all classes of Englishmen is in reality objected to by working men themselves. The trades unions, to which Mr. FERRAND, in addressing an agricultural audience, did not refer, lay down as a fundamental rule that one man shall not do better than another. They refuse to put the doctrine into so many words, but they act upon it nevertheless, and ability, energy, and perseverance are kept back in the race, for fear they should too far outstrip mediocrity, insolence, and indifference. The working men of England are justly proud of the distinguished men who have risen from their ranks, but they cannot hope or expect to add many more names to the list, when the one great object is to raise wages irrespective of the quality or quantity of work ; and in the attainment of that object every manifestation of individual superiority is checked and discouraged. It is necessary that working men should enter into these considerations, now that they are on the eve of political enfran. chisement. They must understand the principles which regulate their own affairs if they would choose a fitting exponent of their wants and wishes. They must give up the habit of trusting implicitly to their leaders, and accepting unreservedly the plausible statements of public speakers. If they aspire to the dignity of a voice in the representation, they must take the trouble to understand the scope and ten dency of the policy they want represented. Mr. FERRAND, as we have said, did not enter upon this branch of the subject. He declared his conviction that the majority of the educated work ing men were conservative, but had the fair ness to admit that he thought to whatever side they belonged they would be opposed to all tur bulence and revolutionary agitation. The bees, he said, shrewdly enough, are not likely to destroy the hive which contains the honey. It is too much their interest to maintain the country in its integrity and power. Mr. FERRAND did not, of course, spare the Liberal party and their leaders in his satire, but they have been altogether undeserving of it, and certainly could not have looked for much mercy at his hands. At the close of the evening it was decided that a deputation should wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, so that the working men of Norwich are determined not to be left behind iu the struggle. The Luxemburg question bids fair to become the chief topic of the day, and to do more than rival in interest and importance even the hitherto all en grossing subject of Reform. We expect that when Parliament re-assembles there will be more hon. members to press forward with questions to the Foreign Secretary as to the state of Continental affairs than to demand from the Chancellor of the Exchequer some details as to the progress of the bill in committee. Although it is still extremely doubtful whether peace will be maintained, it is satisfactory to know that no effort will be spared to obtain that desirable result. This is as it should be, because the misfortune of another Continental war just now would be very great ; and the manner in which the probability of this one would be pre vented must keep Prussia a little within bounds for some time. The French papers, as may be imagined, are full of the exciting details connected with the affair, and anxiety is on the qui vive as to the events likely to take place at the next sitting of the Legis lative body. It is said that doubts exist as to whether M. JULES FAVRE will have the leave he desires to question the Government on the subject of Luxemburg. 'The Memorial Diplomatique asserts that the general opinion in Vienna is to the effect that the Duke DE GRAMONT has brought from Paris the basis of an " intimate understanding" between France and Austria in case of war becoming cer tain. This is very likely to be true, and no doubt the Austrians would make excellent auxiliaries to the French, although single-handed they could not compete with the better prepared forces of Prussia. The representatives of England, Russia, and Austria have, it is said, presented simultaneously communi cations of the most pressing kind to the Prussian Government, in order to bring about a satisfactory solution of the Luxemburg question in a peaceful manner. The Etendard declares that the intelli gence is authentic, which states that Queen VIC TORIA has sent a letter to the King of Prussia to the effect that Europe should be spared from the horrors of war— a war in which England would be neces sarily " neutral." The excessive claims of Prussia, it is added, increase her disapproval of the matter. Whether this be true or not in reality, no doubt it is virtually correct, because there are no two opi nions as to the course which this country would take in the event of hostilities bc.t:ng declared be. THE SUN, LONDON, SATUROAY EV ENING, APRIL 27, 1867. tween France' and Prussia, and the most powerful influences which can be exerted would doubtless be resorted to in order to avert the horrors of such a contest. Among the many dissentients to the war are the Germans residing in Paris, to whom such a prospect is naturally obnoxious. They have signed an ad dress to their countrymen demanding their aid in the accomplishment of the work of conciliation. The bases of the settlement of the Luxemburg question which have bee❑ submitted to France and Prussia by the mediating Powers are said to be the neutral6ation of Luxemburg, its con tinuance under the sovereignty of the King of Hou.asn, the evacuation of the fortress by the Prussian garrison, and the dismantling of the for tifications. With the exception of the latter con dition all these seem fair enough, and we should hope that the common sense view of the matter would present its being carried out. It is always a pity to destroy a place that might be rendered available at an emergency, and it would be esta blishing a bad precedent in thus giving way to the unfair demands and bitter prejudices of Prussia. From the Hague we learn that the Minister of Foreign Affairs made a speech at the sitting of the First Chamber, in which he alluded to the Luxemburg question, and declared that it was not Holland which gave the first im pulse to these negotiations which had produced so disquieting an effect. It is affirmed in some quar ters that Prussia will not stand out as to the main tenance of the statue quo, but will consent to a guarantee by the Powers of Europe for the security of Germany, and the nationality of Luxemburg. This would be satisfactory if any reliance could be placed upon it, but who can trust such flattering promises respecting a Power so slow to give up anything that she has actually got posses sion of, and every one knows that the real difficulty of the thing has arisen far more from the un willingness of the Prussians to recede than from the eagerness of the French to advance. A Cabinet Council was held at Berlin on the 25th, in order to consider the proposals of the mediating Powers on the subject of Luxem bourg ; but the result of the deliberations is not made known. The King of the BELGIANS is understood to take an active part in the work of mediation, and is to leave for Paris with fresh pro posals for mediation ; but, after all, the chief burden must fall on the parties themselves, and they must decide which is the course they will take, that of making sacrifices, or of procuring their desired ends. Great stress seems to be laid by the Berlin Government on the necessity that exists for the destruction of the fortresses in dispute, which appear most unreasonable, as is also the asser- tion that the King of HOLLAND is to bear the chief expenses of converting another place into a military position. We may always be sure of one thing, and that is, whatever be the objects Prussia wishes to gain either at home or abroad, she will take very good care that some one else shall pay for their accomplishment, either entirely or the chief part of them. We could enter more fully into the views of au ambitious kingdom if there was not so much intrinsic meanness dis played in all its works and ways ; but as it is, it is really contemptible to witness the lengths to which the statesmen of Berlin will go. We have all heard over and over again of the great things which the great man BtsmAncic has accom plished, and really an ignorant stranger might have been pardoned thinking that Sadowa far eclipsed in the magnitude of its results all the decisive battles that the world has witnessed ; but a change has speedily come over the dazling future, and Prussia must either moderate her demands, or else engage in a war more perilous than any she has wagAl since the days of the First NAPOLEON. She will find no assistance worthy of the name, and instead will have to reap the bitter consequences of the selfish ness and cruelty she has displayed to so many dur ing the last few years, and doubtless her most sanguine friends will rejoice at the chances of such a contest being kept from her by a timely settle ment of affairs in a peaceful fashion. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The Legislative Body met again yesterday after the holidays. There was a very full attendance, and some anxiety prevailed, it having been reported that there would be a cummunic,ktion from the Government relative to Luxemburg. Nothing of the kind took place, but M. Jules Favra put in a claim in the usual form to be allowed to make inter pellations upon the subject. The Senate was to reassemble to-day. It appears from the Constitutionnel, and from other s emi-official articles, that the French Govern ment is animated by eminently pacific intentions in regard to Luxembourg. It disclaims the idea of obtaining any increase of territory. All that it will require is the evacuation of the fortress by the Prussians. This all is everything. Upon this great point hinges the question of peace or war, and the general tendency of the information received in Paris to-day is that Prussia is determined to risk everything rather than surrender its claim to con tinue the occupation. According to one telegram from Berlin, it is not true that the neutral Powers have offered mediation respecting the Treaties of 1839. Prussia founds her claim upon treaties con cluded previous to that period. La France says consequence of the de clarations of the Dutch Goverment the Grand Duk has appointed M. Jonas, Councillor of State, as Charge d'Affaires of the Grand Duchy of Luxem bourg at Paris, and M. Fcehr, member of the As sembly of the States, to the same office at Berlin. The complete separation of the kingdom from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is, therefore, au ac complished fact." The same journal contradicts the report that a simultaneous communication from England and Russia had been favourably received by the Cabinet of Berlin. It would be puerile to notice the many contradictory reports hashed up by the Paris papers to-day. A brief account has been received respecting M. nt r al L esa int, the intrepid Fre nch Traveller, who recentlye left Paris on an ex p loring expedition in e Africa. M. Lesaint left Suez at the end of the month of February, and on the 12th of March he was at Djeddah, from where he wrote on the 13th to say that he ghoul I start for Zoachim the next day. A new invention is, it is said, about to be adopted at the Bourse, which will be very useful. By means of a pentagonal column and a simple combination, the prices will be exhibited instantaneously in large letters upon all the points of the column, so that they will be seen from any part of the building. An Italian paper, the Corriere Italiano, says it has authority for mentioning that Garibaldi, after having had an interview with an eminent Italian statesman, considering the gravity of the situation, has prornisA not to create additional ernbarrasiment for the Government. He therefore renounces his intention of putting interpellations to the Ministers upon the Roman question. On the IGth inst. there was an interesting cere mony at St. Petersburg, the consecration of the chapel erected by subscription at the entrance of the summer gardens, on the spot where the attempt was made to assassinate the Emperor of Russia at this period last year. The Czar, accompanied by the Princes of the Imperial family, and having at his side M. Komisaroff, who turned aside the murder ous weapon and foiled the assassin in his attempt, were present at the blessing pronounced by the Archbilshop, the vast assembly who came to wit- ness the ceremony received their sovereign with cordial acclamations. Several valuable paintings recently purchased with the civil list funds have just been hung in the picture galleries of the Louvre. In the Spanish Museum is now to be seen close to Murillo's Birth of the Virgin Mary the Sainte Appoline . of Zur baran, which, as I stated a few days ago, was bought for 600 fr. at the sale of the paintings which belonged to Marshal Soult. In the modern school of the French Museum, three small pictures by Chardin and the portrait of M. Denon, director of the Museums of the Louvre, under the First Empire by Prudhon, have been added. In the pas sage leading to the sane of Joseph Vernet there is also a very beautiful portrait of a lady by Madame Ilandebourg Lescot, which was presented to the Museum a few weeks ago by Madame Buhner. On Saturday there was a tremendous storm at Vezelise, in the Department of the Marthe. The lightning set fire to the summit of the parish church and carried away the spire, which was 70 metres high. The flames rapidly made progress, but were subdued by the exertions of the firemen. The damage is estimated at 12,5001. On the afternoon of the same day the lightning struck a farm. The flash descended the chimney, broke the china, and tore away the nails from the boards. It entered the window of a stable and killed a goat.. It also shattered several trees, but haypily no personal in jury was done. There have been violent thunder storms in other parts of France. The strike of the tailors continues, with, perhaps, less hope of an arrangement than before. The mas ters, however, have made various proposals to the men, but the latter say they are of too insignificant a character to merit acceptance. On entering the Exhibition by the beautiful avenue, ornamented with flags and statues, opposite the Pent de Jena, and proceeding onwards to the right, you may form almost as good an idea of the wonders of the East as if you were to disembark at Alexandria and wander through Egypt and Turkey. Strange buildings of all sorts of architecture, but chiefly of the Oriental type, meet the eye at almost every step. There is a taper minaret, with its slight balcony, and turbaned Turks, Greeks, Armenians, and other picturesquely dressed foreigners are parading about, looking at every thing and chatting as much at their ease as if at home. You pass the Mosque of Broussa, called the Green Mosque, its dome surmounted with the crescent, its fountains playing, and its Mirah which points out to the faithful the way to Mecca. Of course, it is much smaller than the Mosque of Broussa, but all the details are exactly imitated in miniature. Not far from it is a beautiful kiosque, or summer pavilion, such as you may see on the banks of the Bosphorus. The chief characteristics of Turkey, a mosque, a kiosk, and a bath, are all to be witnessed here. In the garden you may go from Turkey to Egypt with but a very slight wall through an alley strewn with sand and then you have the temple of Edfou before you. You may see a sphynx of large dimensions and a mass of mysterious hieroglyphics in all the colours of the rainbow. The illusion is complete, for so various are the accessories that you might think you were standing before a temple of tho time of the Pharoahs. The bas reliefs, it is true, are of plaster, and not of granite, but the illusion is nevertheless complete. In the interior of the temple are exhibited the Egyptian antiquities dis covered by M. Marlette, and that venerable statue dating from 6,000 years, a marvel of art which has faded away, but which may well compete with molern art. Some years ago the late M. Belzoni exhibited some Egyptian antiquities at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, which I often visited, but these antiquities are more interesting. Close to the temple of Edfou is the Okkel, or Arabian caravan sery, with its high yellow walls. The interior is composed of a patio of two storeys, surrounded ' with shops, where in Arabia all sorts of merchandise may be bought. The beautiful white maharas, or dromedaries, of which I spoke, are in their stable in the vicinity. Then you may see the charming palace of the Bey of Tunis, which in some of its features re sembles the Alhambra. The glittering windows give a good idea of Arabian art. The divans and doors are covered with rich tapoe.try On the frieze in the midst of flowers and fantastic ornaments is a legend in Arabian letters form a verse of the Koran—" Happy the country which is governed by the just." This legend is curiously applicable. In Arabic the word " Sad it e" means " just," and the name of the presen t Be y i s Sadite. In another EgyptiantheN building a representation of the w or k s i n th e Isthmus of Suez. In this sketch, I may mention, the Mexican temp le of Xochicalco, particularly as it ile a has a very E g yptian air. Some three hundred years ago the goddess of this temple was the hideous idol Witziputzli. The French clock and watch department at the Exhibition is eminently deserving of attention, and it has been visited by many practical men with a view to form an opinion whether England 'or Franco can claim superiority in this branch of art and industry. English watches are ex cellent and keep good time. It is, however, undoubtedly true that the art has progressed won derfully in France within a few years, and a watch or clock which will go accurately can be purchased in Paris as cheap, if not cheaper, than in England. As to the clocks those exhibited by M. Detouche, of the Rue St. Martin, aro marvellous both as regards beauty and the many peculiar improvements he has effected. The medals awarded to him at former exhibitions prove that his productions are appre ciated by competent judges, and justify the position he holds as the first in rank in the trade in Paris. The prejudice against French watches has de % parted, like many other unfounded antipathies. With respect to beauty, variety, and peculiarity of construction, the most casual observer will give the superiority to the French manufacture, and per sons well acquainted with the trade who have in ; spected the splendid specimens in this department. It is nearly at the end of the gallery marked Mobilier, on the left hand side. Along this gallery are exhibited the most glittering and valuable trea sures and productions of French industry. igurga l: reh ß ai E sce S sA E , N ldb T rue S ms ssi A ,n T ag -cases, choice of t I r 3 N a 5 ; AND elling-ba GOTTO'S.—Photo- s, envelope-cases, 000 ;despatch-boxes, writ blotting-books, ink-stands, desks, book-slides, work-boxes, r i i ry cabinets, elegantly-mounted - b o scent-bottles, t ea -caddies, hand-bags and re ti cu l es, car d- case s, purses, stationery e and tles, a a r l te b i uz . f o ß r p u o al s e t s a , ge r s r t ay an e ip ri s, crests, Ste. ; cigar-eases, card-baskets, pocket-books, eke g books, and Church Services, in every type.

The opinion of Chief-Justice Chase, sustaining the refusal of the Supreme Court to consider the Mississippi injunction, declares the Court has no jurisdiction in the -case, having no right with the President in the exercise of his official functions. The application was without precedent. If the injunction were allowed, and the President refused to obey, the Court would be without power to enforce process. If the President complied with the order of the Court, and refused to execute the Reconstruction Act, and the House of Representa tives impeached him for such refusal, could the Court interpose on behalf of the President and prevent his trial by the Senate ? The Supreme Court could not consider any complaint against the incumbent of the Presidential office. Governor Sharkey has intimated he would alter the bill, so as to come within the jurisdiction of the Court, and then offer it. The Court bas permitted the Georgia application o be filed.

The accompanying report to the Emperor of Archduke Albrecht,. the C_ommauder-in-chief, lays stress upon the urgent necesssity of extending the system of promotion hitherto in vogue. His Imperial Highness calls to mind that the distressing experiences of 1866, prove the need of promoting intelligent officers more rapidly than was possible by the former method, and states that in future intelligence and military effi ciency will be the motives governing advancement. The Commander-in-Chief prof oses the establish ment of a class of aspirants to commissions not de pendent upon the usual age for service ; promotions in cases of special qualifications, the promotion of a reserve of staff officers, the settlement of a maxi mum age for service, after reaching which retire ment shall be compulsory, and the practice of im mediate promotion for acts of extraordinary valour.

It was past 6 o'clock yesterday evening when the last of the 12 jurors was sworn to try Thos. Burke and Patrick Doran for high treason. This was the second day spent wrangling about preliminaries. The prisoners did not join in their challenges, the consequence of which was that 40 jurors were chal lenged peremptorily on their part, and as many more as they could show cause for challenging. A great number of the best men for jurors were rejected for misdescription. This was the result of gross ne gligence on the part of those whose duty it was to prepare the proper panel. Merchants and traders of various kinds were set down as " Esquires" without any mention of their profession or business, and places were given as their residences without being described as the law requires. For example, one was given as " Rose Lawn, county Dublin," without mentioning " Rathgar," in which this residence is situated; another as " Palmerston Villa, county Dub lin," without stating that it was in Upper Rath mines; there were " terraces" without the locality in which they were situated, and houses on "roads" without the numbers. Considering that points had been raised about such omissions at former Fenian trials, the negligence of the officials in making out the Jury lists seems almost unaccountable, as matters 80 important as the due administration of justice and the peace of the community depend upon their accuracy and strict conformity to law. This care lessness on the part of men employed by Government presents a striking contrast to the care and vigilance with which the lists are made out of persons en titled to vote for members of Parliament. The dif ference seems to be accounted for by the fact that in the latter case the work is done by party agents, who hope to be rewarded for political services, and in the former case by those who have been re warded for such services. Whatever be the cause, the public interest suffers grievously, and it was melancholy to see the Judges engaged the whale day in listening to debates upon the small points connected with the merely technical qualification of jurors caused by official neglect of duty. The two prisoners " General" Burke and Patrick Doran (with most of their fellow prisoners placed in the dock on Wecluesday) have been represented i❑ some of the reports as " respectably dressed," and as having " evidently paid attention to their toilet." It would be a mistake to infer from this that either the General or his companion has the appearance of a gentleman. They both seem exactly like re spectable mechanics or artisans in their working day cress, which consists of grey trousers and vest, and a sort of greatcoat of rough material, dark colour, and not new. They are both of middle stature. Burke looks about 35 years of age. He has black hair and large black whiskers. His complexion is sallow ; his forehead not large, nor high, but pro minent, having large wrinkles when he raises his eyes, which he sunk under heavy brows, his cheeks being low, and his nose large. The ex pression of his face is grave, determined, and not very prepossessing. Altogether he does no t give the idea .of the G enera l t o an army promotion depends on p ersona l a ppearance in whicho r brains. Doran is a y ounger man, pre senting a milder type of humanity, with thi n fea tures, dark brown hair, sandy beard, and apparently a very nervous temperament. Both seem to be suffering from the hardships of the field and from confinement in gaol. Compared with the prisoners at the first Special Commission they have few sym pathisers, which is the more remarkable, as they really took up arms and risked their lives. When the Court rose the Lord Chief Justice in formed the jury that they could not leave the Court house or separate till the trial was over, but he was sure the High Sheriff would provide for their com fort as well as possible under the circumstances. A number of constables were sworn to prevent them communicating with persons outside. A prisoner has been brought to Dublin for trial from Roscommon. When arrested he gave his name as O'Connor. Since then it has been ascertained that his name is Joseph Gibbons, from Mayo, who has been an officer in the Federal army. He is a respectable-looking man, about 30 years of age, and Gft. high. He was handcuffed, and in charge of a strong party of police. There was no manifestation of sympathy otherwise by the spectators. The cattle show was continued yesterday. The sale of prime stock was most brisk, and the section of breeding stock went off at high prices. The year ling bulls were not in as quick demand as was ex pected, but this, in a great measure, was owing to to the Punchestown race. Stock sold well generally at the show, but too many things being ou at the same time did not answer well for the spring show of this year. Ganly, Sons, and Parker transferred bulls at from 40 to 80 guineal. The National and Kildare Ilunt races came off yesterday at Punchestown. Thera was a very large concourse of spectators, the Lord Lieutenant present. The races were all well contested, and the running was good. The Leinster Cup was won by Mr. Forbes's Kingswood, the Kildare Hunt Plate by Mr. Joseph Doyle's The Lamb, and the Downshire Cup by Mr. Campbell's Tom Thumb. THE SPECIAL CO3I3IISSION. EVENING. The Attorney-General, at the opening of the court this morning, stated the case for the Crown, after which three approvers were examined. Much interest was excited by the appearance and evidence of General Massey. He stated that he is the Eon of Godfrey Massey ; that be served in the Crimea as a private in the Transport Corps; that he went to America, and became an officer in the Confederate army; that he joined the Fenian Brotherhood in America, and used all his influence to bring about an insurrection in Ireland; that he received £550 in gold, British money, from Col. Kelly, on leaving New York, for carrying on the rebellion ; that he met 20 Centres in Dublin, to whom he gave orders for the general rising on the sth of March ; that he visited various (Hit ricts for the purpose of organising the war ; that the numerical strength in Dublin was 14,000 men, with 3,000 stand of arms, and in Ccrk 20,000, with 1,500 weapons,and he was about to meet the concentrated forces at the Limerick Junction when he was arrested, and determined with his whole heart to establish the Irish Republic, and that when in prison he was persuaded by his wife to give infor mation to the Government.
