After its brief holidays the House of Commons has set itself again to the task of dealing with the R eform Bill, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer p ut before the House the most important features the new redistribution scheme of the Govern- ment. The Ministers have done wisely so far that e y have not merely contented themselves with 3 3 ttling what to do with the fifteen additional seats placed at their disposal by the carrying of Mr. LAING'S amendment, but they have taken ad vantage of the opportunity thus afforded them of reconsidering the whole of their scheme, which decision is much to be commended, and cannot fail to condues.; to the ad vantage of all concerned in the matter. There are now as many as forty-five seats at the disposal of Government, and they propose to give twenty-five to the counties, nineteen to boroughs, and one to the University of Durham. This seems on the whole a very fair division, and one that will adjust matters on a fairer scale than they have been for some time past. Of course, it is not likely that it should meet with universal approbation; but Mr. DISRAELI took pains to show the grounds upon which Govern ment had acted, and the reasons which had prevailed with them. Perhaps the arrangement respecting the county representation is most likely to challenge discussion, and therefore it was as well that due care should have been bestowed upon its explana tion. These counties contain four millions apart from the population represented in the Parliamen tary boroughs, and they represent on the largest scale the great industries of the country—" agri cultural, manufacturing and mineral, and to an enormous extent a vast variety of trades of great importance, though of secondary importance to those three great departments of industry." It will appear to all impartial judges, and to those who have given much time and thought to the question, that an undue share in the representation has not been given to the counties. Indeed, as the right hon. gentleman remarked during the course of his explanations, the Committee must have been pretty well prepared for the decision of Her MAJESTY'S Go vernment with respect to their recommendation, that twenty-five seats should be devoted to the more efficient representation of English counties. It is a wise arrangement to allow of the Univer sity of London being represented in the House of Commons, and it is suggested that the Committee should consider the feasibility of connecting the University of Durham with it in the representation. To this, however, Sir F. GOLDSMID took objection, and said that the proposed union would not work satisfactorily ; but all this must form the theme of future comment and discussion. The repre sentation of the metropolis is to be increased by four members, a new borough being created of Chelsea and adjacent parts, and the Tower Hamlets being divided as before proposed. Mr. DISRAELI intimated that for convenience and propriety this new borough should be called Hackney, and upon some one ridiculing the notion he challenged criti cism by declaring that it was not an unclassical name, for one of our great English poets has said— Friendly as Hackney, faithless as Whitehall; adding that he hoped the members for Hackney would be faithful to her MAJESTY'S Government. Most of the boroughs which receive an additional member and have one conferred upon them, have already been prominently noticed and their claims have been often preferred by suitable authorities. The right hon. gentleman said frankly that he did not suppose that when these schedules were considered and studied by the House they " would escape criti cism, or perhaps even imputations, made in the freedom of Parliamentary conversation ;" although he assured the House that they had been pre pared under the direction and personal super intendence of Her Majesty's Government, who have sought most earnestly not to lend themselves to any arrangement of a party character in this instance, as on former occasions, during the preparation of this great measure. What Mr. DISRAELI proposes, and what seems to be a very safe way of getting out of the difficul ties and delays which environ the path of the com mittee, is to give " well-defined, but really large powers, to the Boundary Commissioners, and then the committee to suspend their criticism until after the labours of the said commissioners came before them in a matured shape." These sche dules, as he says, are after all necessarily and avowedly of a " temporary character," and they must be dealt with by these Commissioners. On Monday next, before going into Committee,. Mr. DISRAELI expects to give the names of the five gentlemen who will act as Commissioners. Mr. LAING did not seem to take much exception to the proposals of Government, but he wished to see that part of his plan carried out which gave additional representation to some of the largest cities in the kingdom. The new members and the number given to the county representations did not meet with any censure from him, but he seemed anxious not to do away with the grouping principle. Regarding Scotland, Mr. LAING said that it might be considered expedient to in crease the total number of members, in order to settle the just claims of that country, rather than to attain the object by taking members away from English boroughs. There seems no reason indeed why this should not be done, because there can be no real necessity to keep to the exact number that is now fixed upon, and it would be far better to consider the general results to be obtained than to keep to an arbitrary rule, which cannot be defended on any particular principle. On Monday next the House will have an opportunity of deciding upon the merits of Mr. LAING'S scheme for giving an additional member to the six large towns, and also upon Mr. HUGHES'S proposal to refer to cumulative voting. On the whole, the House received the pro- ' position of the Chancellor of the Exchequer very favourably, for no one was decidedly against it, while many were in favour of it. So far, then, it may be considered that the committee will re sume its labours on Monday under favourable auspices, which is much to be rejoiced at. The time is now so important a feature of the affair, as Mr. DISRAELI hinted last night, that it is certainly most desirable not to spend much of it in useless or idle comments. We do not anticipate that the Government will, at this advanced period of the session, receive any considerable check in their ar duous attempt ; and all that now virtually remains for the committee to do, is to give effect to those principles which have already been decided upon by the collective wisdom and experience of the House on former occasions. A discussion on the Navy Estimates does not often pass off without our naval administration being subjected to some sharp criticism. There is always some one ready to spring up in some unex pected corner of the House with a whole host of grievances, and the head officials, tho Ugh of course bound to defend every department from adverse critics, have the consciousness that all such attacks tend to confirm the prevailing impression of the general mismanagement at the Admiralty. At the same time the public must not quar rel with these spokesmen, who do good service by bringing many things to light that are not meant for the open air, and who act in some degree as checks upon the negligence or indifference induced by a rigid observance of routine. Last evening there were plenty of such critics. Imme diately on going into committee of supply Mr. BAILLIE called the attention of the House to the state of the Ordnance Department. After an ani mated discussion respecting the condition of our armaments, the vote for the Coastguard service and Naval Reserve was taken, and on this Admiral ERSKINE had something to say. After the gallant Admiral's strictures had been in some measure answered by Mr. CORRY, the condition of the dockyards was discussed, and it was shown that some classes of the artisans employed had substantial cause of complaint. On the vote for steam ma chinery, larger questions were entered into, Mr. CORRY making some observations on the relative strength of the British and Continental Navies, and on the best means of securing first-rate ships. In speaking of the relative force of French and Eng lish ships, Mr. CORRY said England had 18 first class armour ships afloat and three building of the second class, three afloat and four building and 9rdered, which, with one ordered in April, made a total of 29 ships. France had of the first class 16 afloat and four building, of the second one afloat and seven building, which, with the one recently purchased in America, made 29 ships, exactly the same number as in England. But the policy of England, Mr. CORRY reminded the House, had always been the maintenance of a naval • iorce considerably larger than that of France ; k;al fact., there is no question that to be adeqrzately defended we ought to have a navy equil to any two other powers. Setting aside any pers. .oval considerations or existing alliances, how eve r cordial and reliable, we ought as a matter of national policy to look at the question in the ab strt tct, and consider what position we should be in in presence of a combination of the fleets of France, ant I Russia, or Russia and America against us. If -wo hope to preserve our prestige and our position • without an effort, we shall find ourselves disagree ; tbly undeceived some day. Both from our insular situation and from national habits we must rely upon our naval rather than our military force. But the great aim of England should be to obtain an efficient fleet without measuring her number of ships too exactly with those of France or any other nation. If we ha:•e the fleet which we ought to have it will be nothing to us whether another nation has two or three vessels more or less. Mr. SAMUDA indeed goes so far as to say that the navy of Eng land ought to be equal to the united navies of Europe, but it is scarcely possible that they would under any circumstrnces be all allied against us. At the same time the progress made by the other nations of Europe in ship build ing should certainly induce us to show a little more energy and activity in the matter. The num ber of guns which France has under armour is con siderably greater than our own, and although Mr. Alderman LUSK contends that is a "very vulgar policy" to go on building because France does so, it is neither very safe nor creditable for us to allow ourselves to be completely outstripped. Mr. CORRY admits that the French have made more rapid pro gress than we have. The progress made in building eleven French ships being equal to six and a half ships, whereas the progress made in our own dockyards during the same time has only been equal to one ship and three-quarters ! This tardiness appears to have originated in one of ous usual Admiralty blunders, the Board having calculated that one shipwright could construct nine tons of shipping in the year, whereas in the con struction of armour-clads only six tons must be allowed. So that while our shipwrights are com plaining of want of work, the dockyards have been actually in want of more men to make the required progress in our shipbuilding ! Mr. CORRY, who spoke very fairly respecting the whole question, said that the Admiralty, believing competition to be a wholesome thing, had invited the assistance of some of the principal building firms in the coun try to provide designs for an armour-clad ship; but although this is a good idea, and likely to improve our navy, more especially as the successful compe titor is to be allowed to build the ship, there are difficulties even in the way of open competition. The unfortunate habit of laying things aside in official pigeon holes, only to bring them out piece meal after the lapse of years, discourages inventors from even submitting their plans to the heads of public departments. Thus, in the discussion respecting the Ordnance Department last night, Mr. BAILLIE declared his conviction that the gun makers of the country refused to submit their in ventions to the select committee, because they were afraid of their being adopted by others. One of the largest gunmakers in Birmingham had very recently told him that he had excellent breech-loading guns, but that he would not send them to the Ordnance Committee. The sealed description of the SCHNEI DER rifle was, he said, in the War-office during the term of the late Secretary. There is so much of all this petty unfairness and unwillingness to give just praise where praise is due that men of intelligence and ability get disheartened, and carry their talents and their inventions elsewhere, as too many have already done. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM. OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Emperor Alexander, before leaving Paris, made his promised visit to Fontainebleau on Tues day. After a collation, served in the Salle de Henri the Second, their Majesties, and the Princes and Princesses, went to the Chinese Museum, and re turned to Paris at five o'clock. The Emperor Napoleon and the Empress are at the Tuileries to-day. A special train bad been prepared at Bercy, which conveyed the Emperor of Russia and Prince Vladimir to the Villette station, where another train was ready to take them to Kehl. The farewell of the two Emperors was very cordial. Several times the Emperor Alexander thanked the Emperor and Empress for their atten tion to him while in Paris. The Grand Duke took leave of their Majesties also at the station of the Eastern Railway. His Imperial Highness left for Copenhagen by the Northern Railway at eight o'clock in the evening. The Emperor, Em press, the King of Prussia, and the Prince Royal of Prussia returned to the Tuileries, greeted every where by loyal acclamations. Before his departure from Paris, the Emperor of Russia received from a great many communes of France, corporations, and individuals, addresses expressive of great indignation at the odious at tempt made upon his life on Thursday last. The Emperor has expressed his great gratification and pleasure at the unanimous manifestations of sym pathy manifested towards him, and directed the authorities of the Russian Embassy to make a formal acknowledgment of thanks to all the per sons who signed these addresses. We have another illustrious visitor in Paris, the Duke of Mecklenbourg S c h wer i n, w h o comes, how ever, incognito under the travelling name of Count de Schwerin. The Grand Duke has had the honour of being received at the Tuileries by the Emperor and Empress. On receiving the news 'of the de plorable attempt upon the life of the Emperor of Russia, the King of Denmark, who is at his summer residence at Fredensborg, sent for the chaplain of the Russian chapel and the members of the Rus sian Consulate, and a solemn thanksgiving was offered up in presence of the Royal family and the civil and military members of the Household. At Kiel a solemn Te Deum has been celebrated on board the Russian frigate Swettana, at which the Prussian Generals in command of the pro vince, and many individuals of note were present. The anniversary of the inauguration of the Con stitutional regime in Denmark was celebrated at Copenhagen on the sth of June in a very brilliant manner. The public buildings and private houses were illuminated, and flags were hoisted on the vessels in the roads. The population repaired to the plain of the Champ de Mars, where several orators dwelt eloquently upon the benefits of the Constitution, and blessed the memory of its founder, Frederic VII. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, at which, as usual, the Emperor presided. The Moniteur again devotes considerable space to the mere enumeration of the places from whence addresses of congratulation at the late escape of the Emperor and reprobation of the flagitious at tempt have emanated. The Poles, individually and collectively, have made public energetic protests against the attempt to assassinate the Emperor Alexander. Count Ladislater Plater, the eminent Pole, has sent the following letter to the editor of a Paris paper " Villa Broelburg, near Zurich, June 8. " In Switzerland, as in every country where there are Polish emigrants, the attempt upon the life of the Emperor Alexander is considered by them as the work of a wretch overpowered by grief and fanaticism, which has nothing in common with the struggle of noble arms iu the service of Poland. It is certain that its long martyrdom and great suffer- THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1867 ings may exasperate a man to such an extent as to entail his loss of reason ; but it is also true that, after having suffered so much, the Poles have at tained dignity from their patriotism, and repudiate any act contrary to public opinion. " The attempt is the more to be deplored, from its baying taken place in a country distinguished for its hospitality towards Polish emigrants and its sympathy with the cause which they represent. But public opinion will not be misled, and will not make the Poles responsible for an act which they condemn without exception, whatever may be their political opinions." A despatch from Constantiuople states that the Sultan of Turkey will leave that capital on the 21st of June for Paris to see the Exhibition. Prince Napoleon has left Venice for Turin, to meet the Princess Clotilde, who is staying there, and their Imperial llighnesses are expected to re turn to Paris immediately. The King of Prussia is to leave Paris to-morrow, proceeding first to Brusels. Count Bismarck went on Tuesday evening to the Theatre des Varietes. The Czarewitch will not return to Russia for some time. He proposes to stay both in Copen hagen and London. It was supposed that the weather was settled; but that desirable consummation seems to be out of the question. After an extremely hot day yesterday, the temperature became suddenly cold during the night, and at two this afternoon it began to rain. It continued to rain at post-hour, with the prospect of perseverance. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, June 13.

(Signed) IiouLAND. THE LEGION OF 110 NO UR. The past week has been a most eventful one for M. Nelaton, and must certainly be reckoned among the most fortunate in the whole career of this cele brated surgeon. On Monday he was named a member of the Institute, and on the day following he received from the hands of the Prince Imperial the insignia of Grand Officer of the L eg i on o f Honour. On this occasion he merely called upon and ethi n to the surge on , d the Prince at St. Clou d to p a y him his usual visit, when the young patie nt said to him, " Wait a thenlittle, doctor t e ; d I the have cross so rnigba to give you." He m saying, "It is not quite new, as my father has worn it for some time." M. Nelaton immediately drove to the Tuileries to thank the Emperor. His I Majesty confirmed the w elcom e fact, and added, g; I shall never forget , doctor, th e care which my son has received from you. M .

A Faculty, is the only other member of the medical community in France who has been invested with this high honour. It w as conferred upon him on his retiring from office.—Tne Lancet. The Home of Lords. 44 A Peer" writing to the editor of the Times says : " May I be allowed to make one or two observa tions on your article of this morning in reference to the House of Lords ? " The institution of a quorum would be bene ficial, but the abolition of vote by proxy would have no effect on the daily routine of business. The system, no doubt, is vicious in principle, and should be got rid of immediately ; little, however, would be gained or lost by such a step, the mock of voting being troublesome, and seldom resorted to. The House of Lords is, in many respects, not fairly tested. The groundless jealousy of the House of Commons, their singular adherence to mediaaval securities against kings and barons, with the unac countable reluctance of all Administrations in suc cession, prevent the origination of many measures in our assembly. Bills, moreover, are not sent up from the Commons with any regularity. Lang in tervals in which nothing is submitted for our con sideration are followed almost at the very close of the Session by torrents of legislative propositions, as many it has happened as 50 in a week, all o f which if properly dist r ib uted wou ld , i ns t e ad of being passed in baste, and w i t h out exam i na tion, be duly and efficiently considered. Nor may it be overlooked that the House of Commons has monopolised to such an extent all the power of the State that party debates and party divisions had lost much of their importance in the House of Lords, and therefore very seldom occur. This alone would render any deliberative assembly unattractive, and give an apparent tameness to most of its proceedings. ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS.—The great rhodo th.ree weeks, dondron show of the yea r , w hi c h i s t o continue for about difference of opinion re gar di ng th e relative merit of t he display as compared with s i m il ar exhibitions of f ormer is now open. Though there ma y be some years, there is no doubt that it is made exceedingly into resting and attractive in itself by the richness of the bloom and the luxuriance of the foliage which the plants constitut ing it present. The arrangement of the sho w, under the direction of Mr. John Water er , of Bag-shot, is tasteful and picturesque, and every care has been eyido ntl y taken to place the plants in such positions relatively to each other that the greatest artistic effect may be obtained by the blending and contrast of thoir various tints and hues. The flowers most remarkable—where all were good—for beauty and luxuriance were those called after Lady Alice Peel, Sidney Herbert, and Lady Eleanor Cathcart. To attempt to describe a flower show adequately is always a useless task ; we have, therefore, only so far alluded to the features of excellence in the present exhibition as to in duce rhododendron lovers to pay a visit to the Botanic Gardens during the progress of the show.

The steamers Cimbria and Mississippi arrived here to-day, and the Peruvian at Boston. The Cornonation of the King of Hungary. The lndependance Beige has the following remarks upon the political bearing of this event : "The coronation and the royal oath, which is the principal incident of it, seal anew the bilateral pact between the Sovereign and that nation. The con tinuity of rights, so dear to the Hungarians, which the interregnum from 1848 to 1867 had suspended, is re-established ; henceforth it is law alone which will reign in Hungary. Moreover, by the fresh sanction which the inaugural diploma has given to the laws of 1848, the ancient aristocratic organisa tion is changed according to democratic principles, and the former Governmental system, which had the faults inherent in its origin, has become, by the institution of a national and responsible Ministry, a real Parliamentary system. It will no longer be possible to modify that system unless by a violent reaction or by revolutienary convulsions, which nothing justifies us in fearing. Hungary, confident in herself, will be able to advance along the path of progress firmly ; the political wisdom and maturity of which she has given such manifest proofs during the last few years guarantee that she will not be wanting in calmness and prudence. It must not be forgotten, however, that the King of Hungary is also Emperor of Austria, that Hungary forms only half of a great monarchy, in the midst of which she is to live and prosper. Between the two political bodies which compose the empire there exists an intimate relationship ; but though common interests unite them, divergent interests may divide them. The great task of the Imperial Government is only about, therefore, to commence. May it meet in the two great representative assemblies— the Diet of Pesth and Vienna Reichsrath—with the same intelligent co-operation which has enabled it to reconcile them at this moment. Hungary will, moreover, have to solicit the same co- operation from Croatia. By the ancient constitutions now restored Croatia undoubtedly belongs to St. Stephen, and the Emperor, who has sworn to main tain the integrity of that crown, cannot yield to the separatist tendencies of the Croats. The Sclaves refuse to allow themselves to be " Magyarised,"—it is their right ; but upon the Hungarian Govern ment and the Parliamentary majority of Pesth the duty devolves of giving guarantees on this subject to the Agram Diet. Now that the re-incorporation of the three Selavonian kingdoms in the kingdom of St. Stephen is legally and irrevocably effected, it is to be hoped that the mistrusts of the one will be appeased, as the exigencies of the others are con fined in the strict limits of the laws and the bilate ral conventions." (From} the Spceiql Corruponlent of the Times.) PESTLI, June 10. The scene presented by the Banqueting-hall on Sunday, the 9th of June, was very interesting. It is an exceedingly lofty room, with colonnades and galleries above, and is handsomely decorated and finished. Tables to accommodate about 350 per sons were laid in the body of the hall, but the long grand corridors at the side were also filled with guests to the number of 700. The feast began at 3 o'clock, and the sight of the ball, filled with such figures as we have been gazing upon for the last two or three days, was very fine indeed ; but a military critic of mess appointments might have objected to the presence of black bottles in no ordinary pro fusion on the tables. About four o'clock all the guests rose as one man to their feet as the echoes of a tremendous " eljen" outside rolled through the hall, and in a few seconds the same cry burst from their lips at the sight of the King and Queen in the doorway. His Majesty, who looked rather thin and worn, as well he might from his fastings and his ceremonies, and long observances, not to speak of cares of State and other less public troubles, wore the uniform of a Hungarian General. He has unwittingly done what has made him popular to the highest degree among a people who admire good horsemanship. It was observed on the Coronation day that the charger on which the King was mounted was very restive at times. His Majesty is said to have re proached Count Grunne for furnishing him with such a very rampant Bucephalus, and no doubt it was try ing enough to sit on a curvetting steed nearly 17 hands high, with the crown of St. Stephen, who was a large-headed man, apparently, on his front, and the robe of St. Stephen, which is not exactly a summer-day's mantle, on his back for so many hours. When the King dismounted to take the oath in the Square before the Rath House of Pesth the horse was very much excited, and it became necessary for two grooms to lay hold of his head as his Majesty mounted, which he did with difficulty. Before he was well in his seat the cannon of the Blocksberg opened with a salute. At the first re port the horse made a furious bound and rose high in the air, dragging the grooms off their feet, and lighting in a prodigious leap in the contre of the throng far away. At the sight, when the horse sprang up, a thrill went through the multitude. What a catastrophe if the King were unhorsed ! What au omen if the sacred crown were to fall from his brow just as he had taken the oath ! To their surprise and delight, the King, without an apparent struggle, sat firm and lightly in his saddle, and bore the shock unmoved as the horse came to the ground, then shouting to the strug gling grooms, who were dragged along, " A uflassen !" ("Let go") he wheeled round in the midst of his affrighted courtiers, and ruled his charger in its impetuous bounds, amid applause which contended with the thunder of the guns, and rode away in a hurricane of popular delight. His skill as a horseman, and the air with which he drew his sword and spurred his horse up the Kronungs hugel, and wheeled him round while he thrust his defiant point at the four corners of the world, won him golden opinions on the Franz Joseph Platz ; and it was remembered how when Ferdinand was crowned his Majesty could not induce his horse to descend from the mound, although he had got him up very easily, the reason being that for some time previously the animal had been fed at the top by the groom every morning, and was led down after wards. A stately bearing serves a monarch in good stead even among the most unpoetical people, and these things have done as much good to the King as a stroke of State policy, combined with his forcible and solemn manner of taking the oaths and making all the declarations in the Coronation ceremony. As he entered the hall, the Queen leant on his left arm, her head encircled with a coronet of diamonds, which was not needed to set off her exceeding love liness. As she passed along, her train borne by her pages, she bent her head with a little retiring bow, full of dignity and grace, not to the right or left, but straight before her. All day the crowds in the streets kept holyday, and at 6 o'clock the benches of the Tribunes on the quays, the suspension bridge, and the windows com manding the stream were filled for the regatta. The Danube is here about 400 yards broad.. At night the main streets were almost blocked up by the population of the cities and the strangers at tracted by the illuminations, which were somewhat marred by a very high wind. Nevertheless, the hill of Buda, the Palace, forts, and suburbs, the lines of the streets, the quays, a blaze of light; the bridge pregnant with rockets, blue-lights, and in cessant pyrotechny—all Pesth, clear as day with gaslights, ]amp, and candles, were well worth looking at, and afforded much pleasure to the mul titude, whose delight knew no bounds when they perceived that the King and Queen were among them, enjoying the spectacle also. It is said their Majes ties got out of their open carriage and walked on foot through the streets, but it is dangerous to state as a fact anything which the eye has not seen just at present, as the air is filled with feathers from wild ducks' wings. Some such feather it was, perhaps, which noted down the statement that there would be a requiem held at Buda for the death of the Hnngarian constitution while the coronation was taking place, for no record of such an event has since come out. Again, as to M. Kossuth, jun. Some say he went away voluntarily, others that he was warned to depart or politely requested to leave, and certain others aver he never was in Pesth at all. One would think the presence of a young gentleman on his travels, however clever, could not be of much consequence. But names are identified with principles, and popular feeling hangs on them all sorts of votive offerings. There were some yes terday in the banquet-hall who were quite interested in watching a middle-aged man, with a bald fore head and a light-coloured moustache, as he sat in a kind of private box, with a clientelle of gentlemen in black around, looking intently on the scene be low. It was the Count of Chambord, who has been present at the ceremony, in which he takes a great interest. Perhaps the keen eye of the Duke of Gra mont, whose tall and stately presence was easily distinguishable in the midst of the diplomatists, twinkled as he caught a glimpse of the melancholy exile. The Crown Prince of Hanover is also here, but Baron \Verther probably does not think much of the matter. The Prussians are not regarded with such disfavour at Pesth as at Vienna, and they may feel that the Hungarians have reason to be grateful. This morning the Coronation gifts were presented to their Majesties. A deputation from both Houses of the Diet brought an offering from the nation of 100,000 ducats, and at the same time specimens of the chief productions of the country, after being carried in procession through the two cities, were, in accordance with ancient custom, laid at the feet of the King and Queen. They consisted of various kinds of bread, borne on traps by the bakers ; enormous sturgeons from the Danube, suspended on poles and carried by fishermen ; a waggon-load of flowers and vegetables, surrounded by young girls dressed in white, with scarves of the national colours; several waggon -loads of wheat, barley, and rye, in white sacks, with variously coloured inscriptions ; an enormous waggon with sacks of flour, another with casks of wine, &c. Among and between these marched young bakers, butchers, peasants, vintners, &c., with flying flags, and a gipsy band of music. The whole presented a most animated spectacle ; but the greatest enthusiasm was created among the crowd by two magnificent oxen, their horns gilt, and gaily decorated with flowers and ribands ; and, still more, by a you ng h orse , led by t wo csikos in flowing white linen garments, their open shirt sleeves trailing almost on the ground. The csikos are lads who live all the year round in the open air, attending the numerous herds of half-wild horses on the plains of the Danube and the Theiss, and they are the heroes of rural romance in Hungary. MARKETS.--This day. MARK LANE. The supply of home-grown wheat on sal,! at our market to-day was very moderate. 0 wing to the fine weather the trade for all qualities was very dull, and millers showed great unwillingness to purchase even at Monday's decline in the quotations. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat. For all descriptions the demand was in a sluggish state, and prices had a drooping tendency. Floating cargoes of grain were dull at barely late rates. Barley was in moderate supply, but the show of samples was chiefly foreign. Most qualities were in fair demand on former terms. _ The malt trade was dull, and prices had a drooping ten- dency. Oats were in very moderate supply. The trade was firm, and the tendency of prices was rather upwards. Beans—the supply of which was very moderate—were firm, and unaltered in value. Peas supported the rates of Monday, with a moderate demand. The market was scantily supplied. Flour was in very moderate request. In prices no change , took place. SIIIP ARRIVALS THIS 'WEEK. Wheat.

BAXTER, M.P., AND THE REFORM QUESTION. —At a meeting of- the Arbroath branch of the Scottish Reform League, held on Tuesday evening, a letter from Mr. Baxter, M.P., was read, stating that he had presented a petition from the branch praying for certain amendments in the Scotch Reform Bill. With reference to these Mr. Baxter wrote :—". I agree generally with the prayer; but don't you think that household suffrage in counties would hand them over to the landlords? An agricultural la bourer is a very different person from an artisan in a burgh." One of the persons at the meeting was of opinion that employers in towns had as much influence over their workpeople as landlords in counties. Others stated that household suffrage in counties would enfranchise the arti sans in villages, who were not under the landlords. Two LIVERPOOL MAGISTRATES NEARLY KILLED. —The dangerous practice of hoisting goods in and out of warehouses in crowded streets nearly caused the death of two magistrates in Liverpool yesterday. Mr. Raffles, stipendiary magistrate, and Mr. Clint, one of the borough magistrates, were passing some premises occupied by Mr. Golding, corn merchant, in North John-street, whin a sack of meal fell out of a sling while being hoisted up to the top story, and fell at their feet. Had it fallen on them, death or at least serious injuries, would inevitably hays resulted. 4 2- 7 ! , T" 4 - lip . anda HER MAJESTY, &c• BALMORAL, June 12.

DEATH OF TIIE DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GIFFORD' —We have to announce the death of Helen Selina, Dowager Countess of Gifford, which took place yester day afternoon at Dufferin Lodge, Highgate. The deceased lady was the eldest daughter of Mr. Thomas Sheridan and W' s twice married, first in 1825 to Price, third Baron Duffil in and Clanboyo (ho died in 1841) ; and secondly in 1862 to George Earl of Gifford, eldest son of the Marquis of Tweed dale, who died in the samo year. MR. KITHE'S CONCERT, On Wednesday morning this accomplished COM' poser and brilliant instrumentalist gave his ann ual concert at St. James's-hall, on which occasion one of the largest audiences of the season was attracted to the great hall by the brilliant programme issued by Mr. Kuh6. The vocalists comprised Christine Nilsson, Md!le. Sinico, Mdlle. Liebliart , Madame Trebelli,Madame Sainton Dolby, Signor Mongini, Herr Reichardt, Signor Gardoni, Mr. Ton i Holder, Signor Gassier, Signor Foli, Herr Bokitan sky, Signor Pandolfi n i, an d M r . S an tl e y ; and the instrumentalists were—Violin : Herr Leopold Au er ; violoncello : Signor Piatti ; harmonium : Herr 1 Engel; harp: Mr. Aptomma3; pianoforte: gr. lithe. With such an array of talent it was not sur prising to see the programme a lengthy one, but the audience were so delighted with each of the vocal and instrumental pieces, that, with 3 few exceptions, the entire company remained until the conclusion of the concert. The programme commenced with Verdi's quartette "E scherzo ed c follia," from the Ballo in Marschera, by Madame Trebelli, Signors Gassier, RAchardt, and Fa, which was followed by Schubert's splendid song " The Wanderer," sung with the greatest taste by . Signor Foli. Signor Gardoni then gave one of his sweetest airs, " L'lmpossibile," with all that fervour which has rendered him one of the greatest favour ites in the concert room. Mr. Santley, Of course, won immense applause by his singing of Biumenthal's song, " Sweet is true love," and Mdlle. Liebhart charmed the audience with Abt's song, " Cuckoo." The appearance of Mdlle. Nils son, led forward by Mr. Benedict, was the signal for the most enthusiastic applause, and her singing of two of her native Swedish songs quite enraptured the aristocratic assembly. Mime. Sinico sang "Dc ll , vieni, non tardar," from the " Marriage of Figaro, with the utmost skill, and Mr. Tom Hohler gave Balfe's romance, " Si to savais," with much taste, and feeling. Mongini gave a brilliant exposition of the quality and power of his voice in an aria from Donizetti's "Don Sebastian ;" and Herr RokitanskY also availed himself of an aria from " L'Etoile du Nord" for a similar display. Herr Reichardt sang a new song of his own composing, " Tell me it is n ° t so," very tastefully, but it was not equal to his former efforts either for melody or effect. Pus sii3g the other vocal pieces, all of which were excellently sung, we come to the instrumental part of the con cert, the greatest feature of which were the per formances of Mr. Kuh6. The pieces he selec ted were three solo pieces of his own composition--; namely," Illustration de l'Africaine," "Tarante lla, " La Piquante," Valse Impromptu, a Nocturne by Chopin, and a duo for pianoforte and violin, by 0 Beethoven, with M. Auer. The first-named r ice, was a splendid performance, and elicited unbouudeao applause ; it showed most unmistakably the coverlet _ control of the instrument, and at the same tial f finely exhibited the splendid touch and powerful lei hand of Mr. Kuh6. 'lhe audience were enthusiastic in their applause, and none more so than was °lic of our greatest London entertainers, himself a gr eat performer on the pianoforte, who was present 3 t the concert, and who seemed to enjoy and 3P: preciate the playing of M. Katie to the utm os l " The Tarantella" was a piece wonderful fo r thu rapidity of its execution, and the valse was a cha r' ing composition. Herr Engel's solo on the h, a . monium " Home, sweet home," was remarkable 17, the peculiarity of the accompaniment to the ba1 13 , u . , and Signor Piatti's violoncello was irreproachably good. M. Auer, the violinist, is a very skilful per former, w . e' - `, former, and in one of Paganini's Caprices how successfully he had conquered the ditficulol of his instrument. Mr. Benedict, M. Arditti, th e M. Ganz accompanied the vocalists with greatest skill, precision, and effect, the former b en t tieman officiating for Mdlle. Nilsson with the 'Hiv e exquisite taste and the utmost expressi on. ve t concert was one of the most successful that h as taken place this season. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILW'."; —Yesterday afternoon a Great Western engine procoeilu* outwards ran off the rails between the Padding-tola n 0° tr minus and Westbourne-park, embedding it s wheels ground. Comparatively trifling injury was done, and tl'e traffic of the line was but little interrupted.
