Notwithstanding the proverbial uncertainty of t"e intelligence which reaches us from Mexico there seems little doubt of the successes of the Liberalists. Queretaro is actually in their hand, and those who, on the first receipt of the news, were inclined to T doubt its accuracy, have changed their opinions on I finding that despatches, arriving from all parts of the country, tell the same tale. Queretaro is a strongly fortified city, lying some hundred miles to the north of the city of Mexico. The attempt of , MAXIMILIAN to entrench himself there was not altogether so desperate as it appeared, since he had. with him the best of his troops behind strong fortifications in the midst of a fertile district. But the Liberals took up the siege in earnest, and spared no effort to starve out the garrison and force the EMPEROR to surrender. They rejected all terms of capitulation, and at last by a successful movement took the garrison by surprise and entered the city. There was nothing left for it but an imme diate surrender if MAXIMILIAN wished to save the lives of any of his followers from indiscriminate massacre, and accordingly no stipulations were made. The details have not reached the United States, but it is known that on the 17th of May, two days after the siege, the Emperor was still alive, and was being transported under guard to JUAREZ at San Luis Potosi. Much interest is felt in his fate in the States, and naturally his re latives in Europe experience deep anxiety. The Austrian Minister had an interview with the PRE SIDENT according to instruction from his Court to make further inquiries. Mr. JOHNSON was unable to give later or more certain news than was already known, but he expressed his belief that Maxi milian's life would be spared. Since the first ex citement of the capture is over, JUAREZ Will hardly, we may hope, be so rash as to take the life of his illustrious prisoner, since by doing so he would offer a serious affront to the Americans, and might very possibly lose their support. His posi tion is anything but secure, and he has hosts of rivals, more or less formidable. If the States choose to oppose him and support ORTEGA, or any other of the claimants to the :tottering dig -1 nity of sovereignty in Mexico, JUAREZ'S term of power would probably be very short. MAXI MILIAN'S party is completely broken up, and he would therefore have no possible excuse for re sorting to extremities. The real danger lies in the cruelty and recklessness of life characteristic of the Mexicans, but unless JUAREZ can control this when great political ends are at stake there is no chance of his governing the country. The condition of the national finances continue to excite some uneasiness in the States. A letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, which has lately been published, has shown men plainly what the Radical experiments in legislation have cost them. The Secretary plainly says to his correspondents, the principal men of Boston and the vicinity, that " They must not expect the monthly statements for the rest of the present and the early part of the next fiscal year to be as satisfactory as they have been for many months past." lle enumerates many adverse in fluences, especially mentioning the extra bounties to soldiers, the liberal appropriations of Congress, the general failure of the wheat crop, the delay of Southern restoration, the dulness of trade, and the consequently reduced receipts from taxes. That these remarks of the Secretary are fully based on fact may be seen by an examination of the Government statement of receipts ant expendi ture, just issued, which shows the Cus oms receipts for the first quarter of the year to be less by nearly half-a-million dollars than those of the correspond ing quarter in 1866 ; while the Inland Revenue shows a reduction of nearly $18,000,000. It is no wonder with such figures before him the Secretary thinks it time to call the public attention to the state of things. Another session of Congress may involve the country, rich ns it is, in serious perplexity, if bounties and appropriations are to be the order of the day, which will most likely be the case in view of the Presidential contest. The Secretary gives his countrymen very good advice, and urges upon them the necessity of restoring the Southern States as quickly as possible, and of practising national economy. Mr. STEVENS'S favourite idea of confis cation is being carried out backwards. In refusing common justice to the people of the South the North is involving itself in serious losses, and sacri ficing a large part of the national revenue. Radi calism, as interpreted by Mr. STEVENS and Mr. ASHLEY, is an expensive amusement, and the States have tried it quite long enough. According to accounts received here, it appears that the Berlin Government will not find it so easy as they expect to make arrangements with the Danes. Denmark has caused a declaration to be made, which sets forth that she will undertake no " guarantee" for preserving the national rights of the German inhabitants of North Schleswig, and that it will be quite impossible for her to enter into negotiations with Prussia upon this matter. There is not much to surprise some in this, for it has seemed all along a most inconsiderate and extraordinary thing that the proposed scheme should be carried out. The assurance which Den mark is said to have given is to the effect that she will treat the German inhabitants of these districts which will revert to her by the result of the ple biscitum exclusively according to Danish laws. This is very fair, and really comprises all that one has a right to expect. It would be virtually in fringing the arrangements made thus to insert clauses and to make promises and stipulations of this sort. What earthly reason can exist for these German inhabitants to be treated in this exceptional manner, or how can Prussia presume to make the claim, and proffer the request? It is to be hoped that Den mark will be able to hold firm on this point, and we feel almost certain that she will on account of the new aspect of affairs that has arisen since the period of the London Conference. The decisions arrived at by that assembly have certainly done something in a small degree, and yet in an effectual manner; td check the inordinate pretensions of the Berlin autho rities, and in a case of this sort any step that is gained is a great advantage. Prussia would not just now willingly offend the other States of Europe by the appearance of renewed cupidity on her part, and it would be an indirect insult, if not a direct affront, for her to begin another imbroglio just as every one is rejoicing in the serener state of things. Prussia's discomfiture, or at all events disappoint ment in the matter of Luxembourg, may turn out to be fair, if a partial one to Denmark. For some years it has unfortunately been the case that Prussia has been alone in the settlement of things, and no Power of Europe has teen willing or able to interfere efiectually to prevent Lhl~r4bia cUryius out her =az purp es 3 d seifi4l THE SUN, LoN LON, THURSDA Y EVENING, JUNE 13, 1867. e , 3 ds. In some degree this may be said to have been ihecked by the recent turn affairs have taken, and it is well both for the prospect of the peace of Europe land for the rights of small States that this should have been effected. We believe that if the affairs ,of the Foreign Office had been conducted by Lord I , 'STANLEY at the time of the Schleswig-Holstein dis pute, the disastrous war and the fatal peace would have been averted for Denmark. Either the Prussians - would not have presumed so far, or the Danes would not have trusted in vain to the support of England, and whichever way it had turned out the result would have been favourable to the cause of justice, and " from fate's dark page a leaf would have been torn." As it is it may fairly be expected -that even at the eleventh hour a change for the better may come over the councils of Berlin, and Europe may not again in a hurry be frighted from its propriety by any renewed efforts to displace existing rulers of principalities, or attempts to trample upon the rights of inhabitants, for such a result is earnestly to be deprecated. The Emperor of RUSSIa has left Paris amid manifestations of universal regard. The Emperor NAPOLEON parted from him most cordially, and the general feeling was evidently that of regard and respect for the illustrious visitor. The .3loniteur declares in its bulletin that the attempt that was made to assassinate the CZAR will have had no other consequence than to " draw closer the bonds of confidence and friendship existing between the Sovereigns and Empires of France and Russia ;" and it really seems as if this prediction was likely to be fully realised. In many respects we may believe that the affair at the Review was not a contretemps, for it brought out the best points of the French character, and made influential per sons come forward who might otherwise have kept back in doubt or in displeasure. It was a mistake on the part of the authorities to allow it to be seen at the outset that any anxiety was entertained for the safety and security of the CZAR, and it was cer tainly an offence against good sense and geed feeling on the part of those enthusiasts who insulted the EMPEROR, and brought his name into disrepute before the public. Since, however, these errors of judgment have been committed, who shall say that it was not all for the best that the sudden start and confusion of the dastardly attempt made upon the life of the CZAR should have cast all minor consi derations into the shade, and only brought out in bolder relief the true sympathies and genuine good faith of the people to whose ca pital the illustrious EMPEROR had come ? At any rate it is fortunate that be has left France in safety, and well assured of the horror which the mad act of the Pole had inspired. The visit of the King of PRUSSIA and Count BISMARK seems to have been put quite into the shade with all the fuss and ferment that have attended the outrage. How far this may satisfy or disappoint them it is not easy to guess, but at any rate so it is, and all that people seem to care about is how far the visit may conduce to a better understanding between the two Governments of Paris and Berlin. Since the Emperor NAPOLEON and King WILLIAM last met there have been many important changes in the aspect of European affairs, and it is not surprising that the political minds of the day should turn with eagerness to exa mine the situation in which they find themselves, and to speculate as to whether the future will realise the bright anticipations of some, or verify the sinister forebodings of others. Perhaps a more middle course may follow upon this meeting, and thus neither side of politicians will prove right. Be this as it may in future, for the present, the actual moment in which we find ourselves, it is evident that very little attention is being personally paid to the KING'S visit, and that persons are seeking to discover its relati'ins to the policy of France far more than they are giving heed to the noticeable circumstances of his stay in Paris or seeking to manifest any regard or respect for him. " Working Men's Conservative Associations" seem to be coming into fashion. Whether a large portion of the working men have suddenly awoke to a perception of their political opinions, or whether these associations are organised and encouraged by members of the upper classes who have taken fresh courage from the turn of events, is uncertain ; but they are springing up in all directions. Lambeth, usually considered anything but a Conservative borough, has formed an association of the kind, while Dover has been celebrating the grand inaugu ral festival of a similar organisation. What ever the actual object or result of such meetings and assemblies, we are glad to find them so frequently occurring in different parts of town and country as evidences of increased political vita lity. Iler Majesty's Opposition, whatever be the opinions of the gentlemen who compose it, always plays an important part in Parliamentary history, and we may depend that without it her Majesty's Ministers, be they Whig or Tory, would be much less careful what they were about. There is no thing like a little hostile criticism for keeping people up to the mark, and no doubt these associations will have a wholesome effect. No one can suppose that all the working men of a great borough like Lambeth, if they think at all about politics, can think one way, and, therefore, to get genuine political representation we must have all shades of opinion and feeling brought forward and discussed for the ultimate advantage of all. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The Moniteur states that the Emperor has con ferred the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour upon the Marquis de ;Mustier, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Various characteristic and traditional ceremonies were performed at the Coronation of the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary. At the moment when his Majesty placed his foot upon the Corona tion mound formed of various portions of the terri tory of the kingdom of Hungary, and had struck it with his sword, salvoes of artillery were fired from all directions, and the enthusiastic crowd redoubled their manifestations of affection and devotion. The splendour of the imposing spectacle was enhanced by the presence of the Empress and the Princes, her sons, who, dressed in Hungarian costume, created the utmost national enthusiasm. All the heads of missions and members of the Diplomatic Body went to Pesth to he present at the Corona tion, and to witr.ess the public rejoicings on the occasion. Unfortunately the latter could not take place, in consequence_ of the melancholy and un expected death of the Archduchess Matilda, whose good qualities and attainments endeared her to all. The Sovereigns have paid a visit to Versailles. The Emperor and Empress met the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia at the station of the Western Railway, and their Majesties pro ceeded to Versailles together. They went at once to the chateau and from thence to the park, ac companied everywhere by cheers and expressions of attachment. After partaking of a repast at the Grand Trianon, they went to the Petit Trianon on foot, aad visited the llamean and the collection of articles which belonged to Marie Antoinette. The pious idea of forming this collection is due to the Empress. On their return the Royal party went to St. Cloud to see the Imperial Prince, whose state of health is very satisfactory. 112QN bas becu alliaat ball at tba Tuileries in honour of the Sovereigns. To the names of the illustrious persons present which I have had to enu merate lately is to be added that of Prince Hum bert, son of the King of Italy. The saloons and private gardens were profusely and beautifully de corated, ornamented and illuminated, and so mag nificent was this fete that it will remain long in the memory of those who witnessed it. The appearance of the gardens, glistening with Bengal lights and gas, and enriched by flowers and shrubs, was ma gical. The vast supper-room, in which a fountain played, was magnificent, and there was beautiful music during supper. The ball was EV.) prolonged that the sun had risen before the vast crowd assem bled round the Tuileries and in the Place Concorde left the scene of display. They did not sing the chorus " We won't go home till morning," but they did not leave the scene of festivity until the morning was well cn. The Viceroy of Egypt has arrived at Alexandria ou his way to Paris, and is expected at Toulon on Friday next. Letters from Madrid state that M. Calonge, who resigned his functions as Minister of State, has been replaced by M. Castro, Minister of Marine. M. Marfori has been appointed Minister of Marine. The discussion of the law for the reorganisation of the army is about to commence in the Chamber. It has been thought that the new law would be based upon the principles propounded by the Em peror, then Prince Napoleon, in 1842, who medi tated much upon the subject while a prisoner at Ham. His system was to a great extent founded upon the Prussian military system. The great point of it may be summed up as resting upon a very simple basis—as large a reduction as possible in the time of active service, and the obligation of all to serve without exception by means of drawing lots or procuring substitutes. As far as can be ascertained at present, the commission have not proposed any very important modifications as to the mode or time of service. The chief object is to pro vide the means, as easily and as speedily as pos sible, of augmenting the army to the extent of 200,000 men. The principal novelty in the plan is the creation of a National Garde Mobile. From the acrimony with which some of the papers treat the subject long and stormy discussions may be anti cipated. papers persist that the visit of the Emperor poefrotrheof Paris Russia to this capital is not un connected with politics, and that the Czar is de sirous to obtain a modification of the treaty of March 30, 1856, which limits the action of Russia in regard to the affairs of the East. It is said that an understanding, or even an alliance, exists upon the subject between Prussia and Russia, and that the whole line of policy to be adopted by the Cabinets of those countries in regard to France had been arranged before the Emperor took his depar ture for Paris. M. de Bismark and Prince Gorts chal-off had a long interview together at Potsdam during the stay of the Emperor of Russia in that city on his way to Paris. It is mentioned, as a proof of the truth of this report, that M. de Bismark did not leave the Royal residence during the whole of that day. The report goes further, for it is asserted positively that the result of the interview was that Prussia will support the views which it is alleged the Czar will endeavour to induce the Emperor Napoleon to adopt. Another and completely contrary version is in circulation. In the first place, it is alleged that if the visits of the two Sovereigns resolved merely into courtesy, they would not each have been accom panied by their Prime Minister and confidant. M. Bismark, according to this coufiter representation, came to Paris to watch his illustrious contemporary and friend, Prince Gortschakoff, and if necessary to checkmate his plans. Prussia enfranchised from the humiliating vassalage of the Czars, from which she, in common with the whole of Germany, suffered too long, has now only the most ardent desire to associate her policy with that of France upon all European questions. So far from joining in the views of Russia in reference to the affairs of the East the Cabinet of Berlin was almost offended when it learnt the nature of the proposals made at Potsdam by Prince Gortschakoff to AI. de Bismark. Readers must take their choice of these two contradictory versions, Addresses of congratulation and reprobation of the late odious crime continue to pour in upon the Emperor Napoleon. They come from every depart ment, and from so many towns that to enumerate them would be to mention about every part of France. A solemn 7e Deuni was celebrated on Saturday, on board the Admiral's flagship Solferino, anchored in the gulf San Juan. The officers and detach ments of the crews of the squadron of the evolu tion assisted at the ceremony, at the end of which on the mainmast. salvoes of artillery were fired. The ships had flagsst a n Russiand standard rd flag was flying by the aide Similar demonstratio ns were m ade at Cherbourg, Brest, L'Orient, Ro chefort, an d Toulon. The flags of f hoisted, the Frenchand the maritime prefects and directors of establishments on shore joined in these demonstrations and have sent addresses to the Minister of Marine to be presented to the Emperor. Another attractive feature is to be added to the Exhibition.' A number of the inhabitants of the cantons of Berne, Lucerne, and other cantons of Switzerland, are coming to Paris expressly attired in the picturesque costumes of their respective lo calities, which differ in each place. The Emperor of Russia and his sons paid a fare well vi.it to the Exhibition on Monday. Covers were laid in the Etnperor's parlour for 45 guests, among whom were the King and Prince of Prussia. The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden are expected in Paris in a few days. Apartments have been ordered for them at an hotel in the Rue de la Paix. The Emperor of Russia offered to M. Raimbeaux, to whom be probably owes his life, an annual pen sion of 40,000 f. M. Raimbeaux, however, with thanks declined to accept the proffered gift. He does not want it, for his annual income is esti mated at about £16,000 sterling. M. Lubert, who protected the assassin when the crowd wished to hang him, received such injuries that it has been necessary to take him to the hospital. The temperature continues excessively hot, and there is every indication of settled summer weather. MR. DISP.AELT IN T RIUMPII.--VisitOrs to the Royal Academy Exhibition this year will remember the striking picture of "Israel in Egypt," by Mr. Poynter, in which with remarkable Po wer are represented hun d re d s o f hard driven slaves, harness e d lik e beasts of b ur d en , strain ing their scorched limbs and writhing under the lash of the taskmaster as they d rag a ponderous granite li on across the desert to the Egypti an temple. The power with which the figures are drawn ; the variety of attitude ; the truth and force with which all are represented ; the pain expressed with a cry in the suffering of one ; the silent, dogged revenge nursed i n th e strong frame of an other, and the gener a l away of movement and ac ti on i n the row of figures make up a Whole of extraor di nar y an d very striking effect. This work has been turned to account moat cleverly in Punch of to-day by Mr. Tenniel. In a cartoon filling the whole of the centre page Mr. Disraeli is depicted as the Sphinx being dragged in triumph to the Temple of , Reform by a lengthy t eam of leading polit i ca l men of all parties, who are tu gg i ng with willing hands or u nder fear of the whip, the pond erous machine to the p l ace o f honour. Lord Stanley and Sir Stafford Northcote aro harnes sed nearest to the car, pulli ng with determ i ne d w ill. Sir John Pakington, Mr. John Stuart Mill, Mr. Bright, Mr. Glad stone, Mr. T. Hughes, Mr. Roebuck, Earl Grosvenor, and Mr. Horsman are detected at once in the sweltering line, Lord Derby, as the driver, with a cloth round his loins, has partly risen from his s ea t and is smac ki ng his whip to the full tether of the thong. T wo figures, w hi c h are especially happy, are those of Mr. Lou-,) and Lord Crauborne. M r.

COPENHAGEN, June 13. The Danish Government has declined the pro posals made by Prussia that it should guarantee the national rights of the German inhabitants of North Schleswig. The reason given by Denmark is that in case of the restoration of the province, it could only regard the laws of the country as governing its attitude towards the German population. AUSTRALIA.

THE EXHIBITION OF 1867. PARIS, June 10, 1867. To Mr. Blanchard Jerrold, Acting-Director of the Foreign Workmen's Reception Committee at the Universal Exhibition of 1862. Dear Sir—We have not forgotten the cordial welcome that we received in England from the Foreign Workmen's Reception Committee, of which you were the indefatigable organiser. We should now be very happy on the occasion of our Exhibition to testify to English workmen our hearty sense of the kind reception they gave us. 1 have just ad dressed a letter on this subject to the Paris papers, indicating the place where working delegates may meet to renew the friendly relations of working men of different countries. Knowing your great influence in British journalism, I take leave tofor ward you the following note, convinced beforehand that you will do your utmost to give it a wide pub licity throughout England. By this means we hope to obtain the satisfaction of receiving the Eng lish delegates of the working class with that sym pathy and cordiality which we had the honour of receiving from them when in England in 1862. Accept, M. Blanchard Jerrold, the expression of our fraternal sentiments. The President of the Paris Working Men's Com mittee, and ex-President of the - Working Dele gates to the Exhibition of 1862, CHABAUD. To the Delegates to the Universal Exhibition of 1867, in Paris. Gentlemen and Colleagues —Many of you know that it was the committee of Paris workmen formed for the construction of a model house for working men—a committee composed of the delegates to the Exhibition of 1862, and of members of the Court o f Drud'hommes—that took the initiation in the appointment by the Imperial Commission of dele gates to the present Exhibition. Many of you know, also, that if, in consequence of the creation of the Commission d'Encourage ment, composed of notable Paris manufacturers, we have not been able to take an active part in promoting the work we began in 1862, we have, nevertheless, kept our object in view, and have re solved that, in the present Exhibition itself, there shall be a place where the working delegates of Paris, of the provinces, and of foreign countries, m ay trust to promote in a fraternal spirit the com plete enfranchisement of labour. With this idea, which will be sympathetically received by every generous nature, we have devoted the model-house constructed by us in the Exhibition Park, and known as the Paris workmen's house, to the reception of delegates. We wish it to be their meeting-house. They will find in 'it every descrip tion of statistical and descriptive document neces sary to the fulfilment of their mission, together with the French and foreign papers. Foreign editors are requested to forward copies of their newspapers for the use of the workmen of their respective nationalities. We shall be delighted to help delegates to make a complete study of the model-houses for working men in the Park. Such a study cannot fail to make a valuable addition to their reports. In order to prevent any confusion or error, we may add, in conclusion, that we shall be happy to receive all delegates duly appointed by the votes of their fellow-workmen, whether they be officially recognised or not, for we are convinced that it will be the aim of all to act uprightly and inde pendently. The President of . the Committee of Paris Work men, &c., &c., CIIABAUD. • _ - LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—This Day. The market steady. Sales probably 12,000 or 15,000 bales. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT SANDFORD•POOL, OxroltD. Notwithstanding all the efforts which have been made, the body of Captain Kelly, who was drowned in Sandford-pool on Tuesday afternoon, has not yet been discovered. The pool, as well as the main river into which it runs, have been dragged most carefully, but hitherto without suc.cess, and, owing to the unusual height of the water, it is feared the body will not be recovered until it rises to the surface. ALARMING INCIDENT AT A BALLOON ASCENT.— Considerable alarm was occasioned at a balloon ascent at the Royal Park, Leeds, on Monday night. One of the bal loons was occupied by Mr. Evans and a lady, and in as cending it barely cleared the wall, and then bounded along the moor to such an extent that the lady was obliged to leave the car, when it rose with the air and speedily soared away out of si6lit. rolluuatvly uo injury was sustaiued by any one. Bath and West of England Meeting. SALISBURY, Wednesday. A sunny day, relieved by refreshing breezes, has filled the showground with company clustering round the horse-ring when the horses were paraded, especially thronging the picture gallery, the arts department, and the flower tent, and crowding all the afternoon round the orchestra. Indeed, in jus tification of the popular taste, we may mention that the band of the Grenadier Guards has this week re ceived the high compliment of being elected to re present England at the Paris International compe tition. To-morrow the musical attraction at Salisbury will be the band of the Royal Marines (Plymouth division) ; conductor, Mr. Winter bottom. Of the horticultural department we may say that, while on a smaller scale than the shows of the Horticultural Society, it has not been surpassed for the quality of specimens exhibited. In fact, the plants here shown by Lady Ilerbert of Lea, Dowager Lady Ashburton, Sir Frederick Bathurst, the Rev. Mr. Piggott, and Mr. Jonathan Gray are superb. The aim of the stewards—Mr. Jonathan Gray and the Rev. E. Phillpotts—has been not so much to astonish the public with quantity of specimens— though the show is by no means diminutive—as to assemble together a grand exhibition of the most perfect individual plants, and this without being indebted to trade florists, beyond a beautiful show of calceolarias from Mr. Wheeler, and some con tributions from another local nurseryman. Pre eminent in excellence are the New Zealand tree ferns, azaleas wonderfully trained and full of bloom, some remarkably choice and fine orchids, a mar vellous specimen of osrides odorata, and more espe cially the management foliage plants, or caladiums, all in the greatest perfection of beauty and extraordi nary development. The pictures are pronounced by competent critics to surpass in merit any that have hitherto been ex hibited at the Society's meetings. Of course, among 453 works of art, oil-paintings, drawings; sketches, carving, &c., some mediocre specimens will appear, but painters of considerable eminence appear here, and the character of the general show is undoubtedly high. Special interest is taken in the collection of " decorative art" lent by the South Kensington Museum, including carvings in wood and marble, marquetry, goldsmiths' work, majolica, Oriental porcelain, ironwork, modern art productions, ancient Venetian glass, reproductions from Continental museums, and so on; and particularly conspicuous •are Dr. Salviati's splendid collection of modern Venetian glass, and his extrc ordinary glass mosaics. In the building devoted to arts and manufactures the display is more interesting, more beautiful, and more meritorious than it was last year ; but so mul tiform are the objects exhibited that we cannot pre tend to single out articles of special attraction. It is to be observed that the lace, a great feature in former shows, no longer appears, the society consi dering that their efforts in the improvement of this branch of artistic labour have accomplished the purpose fur which they were designed. If the company has been plentiful in the show ground, so also have visitors been many in the trial fields. Reapers, grass and clover mowers, horse hoes, haymakers, horse-rakes, and so on, have been at work throughout the day ; the chief interest centring upon the steam cultivators. It should be explained, however,' that these so-called " trials" are not competitive, the society having long ago discontinued prize -lists and implement judges ; but the public working of field machines is most in structive to purchasers, giving them an opportunity of witnessing each implement in action, while leaving every one to form his own ; judgment upon the several performances. John Fowler and Co. do not exhibit at the present meeting ; but steam cul ture is represented by the apparatus of Messrs. i Howard, and that of Messrs. 'Tasker; while farm road steam locomotion is accompanied by the trac tion-engine of Messrs. Aveling and Porter (the most simple and successful of any yet introduced), and that of Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth. The latter engine, of 10 horse power, we found driving the Bedford cultivating tackle, on a piece of so called " light," but hard and strong ground. The apparatus, as well known, consists of a sta tionary windlass, anchored pulleys, wire rope, and an implement hauled to and fro without turn ing at the ends. Under the management of Mr. Sutton the cultivator made admirable work, and the four-furrow plough cut and laid beautiful fur rows of a soil particularly difficult to plough at all. The Bullstrode " slings" were shown in operation, very considerably shortening the time in reversing the motion of the implement at the ends. One fact of considerable importance has been elicited at the present meeting—namely, that since the publication of the Royal Agricultural Society's Report upon steam cultivation in England a rapid influx of orders has poured in upon the makers of steam ploughs. The Leeds Steam Plough Works are busy with 1,000 hands ; the Britannia Works at Bedford are sending out many new sets of tackle, and makers in other places are doing their share in the suddenly increasing trade. Regrets, however, have been ex pressed by farmers that they are unable to procure the official Report in a cheap form. The novelty in the steam trial-field this year is furnished by Messrs. Tasker, of Andover, in an in vention of Mr. Rob er t H iggins, of ilarchwood, Hampshire. It is d enom i nated a " patent appara tus for scarifying, drilling corn and other seeds, harrowing, rolling, and sowing grass an d c l ov e r seeds in one operation," and yet it does not appear in practice to attempt too much, for the whole is evidently the contrivance of a practical farmer, and not designed by the mere theory of the shop. Harrowing has already become one of the most successful operations of steam culture. Mr. Smith, of Woolston, grubs and drills simul taneously by one and the same machine, and all that was wanted seemed to be a combination of im plements for harrowing, drilli ng , an d ro lli ng all together—anincalculable advantage on sticky soils, or, in wet weather, on any soil that should be left after sowing in the condition of a well-tilled garden. In this new apparatus we have a drill, Bft. 2iu. wide, guided by a steerage wheel, and preceded by a broad iron drag harrow. This drill is followed by a set of three iron seed harrows ; and these, again by a broadcast small-seed sowing box, mounted upon a field roller and a travelling wheel. This part of the apparatus does not follow precisely in the rear of the drill, but towards one side, so as to balance the drag of the slack rope on the opposite side of the drill. The drill is turned round at the ends of the field, on the Woolston " turnbow" principle, the draught chain of the following implements slipping along a bar behind the drill. During this " turning" half the drill cutters are lifted up, And as the roller of the seed-box is in two halves the turning of this also is easily effected, and the harrows follow readily iu the proper track. With some little modifications this apparatus promises to be very useful ; the ingenuity is shown in turn ing with ease a number of separate implements that one would suppose must run back upon each other during the operation. The show of implements and machines in the yard is very large, including five stands of Hornsby, Itansomes and Sims, Tuxford, Howard, Coleman and Morton, the Reading Company, the Beverley Company, Ashby and Jeffery, &c. As no other society in England provides so many sources of popular interest, amusement, and edifi cation as those al ways found at the Bath and West of England meetings, so no society enjoys equal chances of success. The managers and stewards work with a zeal and public spirit scarcely to be paralleled elsewhere ; and the West of England cities and towns always give the Society their heartiest welcome—certainly sparing no expense, as witness the street decorations at every con fluence of thoroughfares, the flagstaffs, festoons, and banners surrounding the noble market-place, the nightly bands of music playing gratis to a delighted open-air audience ; and lastly, the grand blaze of pyrotechny by the Crystal Palace artist, inhabitants which last night drew forth all the of Salisbury into the principal square. And zeal and confidence once more have their reward ; the pre sent meeting is a decided success, in spite of the absence of horned cattle. Iu the general slackness of buzincw anionz the implement litalla the number ~...a ' of persons visiting the show and the receipts at the entrance gates have fully equalled the expectations of those who wished well to the society, and there is every prospect of good shilling-days both to morrow and Friday. ,Ala fitlrt • HER MAJESTY, &c• Rumor:AL, Jane 11.

The following is a copy of a communication which the Committee of Spanish Certificate-hold ers have this day received from the Spanish Ambas" sador, by the hands of the Spanish Consul David Robertson, Esq., M.P., Chairman of the Committee of Spanish Certificate-holders. , " Sir,—By order of his Excellency the Spa nisu , Minister at this Court, I beg to hand you encl osed a translation of an official telegram which 10 Excellency received last night from Madrid. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) "JUAN GAVARON, " Her Christian Majesty's Consul-Gener al " 5, Jeffery-square, June 12, 1867." (Translation.) " Madrid, June 11, 186 7 . " The Spanish Government has this day pre sented to the Cortes a bill for the conversion into a consolidated fund of the passive debts, also of:, t la deferred of 1831. In the preamble to the bill, th e Government sets forth that the law of 30th J -11118 last recognises in fact the claims arising from t,,, third clause of Art. 2 of the law of August 10thl 1851, acknowledging at the same time that it is pedient and indispensable to settle those claims , t(,), which effect the Government declare that they present a bill at the opening of the next session. " A true translation. (Signed.) " JUAN GAVARON, " Her Christian Majesty's Consul-Gener al." The following letter was this day addressed t ° his Excellency the Minister of Finance of Spain Committee of Spanish Certificate-hold ers, 11, Austinfriars, London, June 12, 186 1 . " Excellent Sir,—The Committee of Span iel./ Certificate-holders have had the honour to receiv e from his Excellency the Spanish Ambassador at this Court the copy of telegram, dated Madrid, th e 11 t h inst. " The committee request permission to state t° your Excellency that this communication has been received in the City with profound disappoin tuleu by the parties interested therein. All official pr°- ceedings connected with the affairs of finance whicl have recently taken place iu the Spanish Cortes had led to the con c l us i on th a t measures were luulledi ately about to be taken t o li qu id ate the debt t herein referred to. A f ur th er delay of severa l mouths they were wholly unprepared to expect. 1 1 t‘ The committee take leave respectfully to roc to your Excellency' s attention the fact that on the 30th June last year a law was passed in the Cortes authorising the settlement of this debt. This law is in abeyance, because it was, i not acted upon previous to the present session 01 the Cortes. The committee submit th at all that s necessary at the present time is that the Spanis h Government zhould obtain from the Cortes during it present session an authorisation to act upon the aforesaid law of June 30th, containing, as it does, the elements out of which a settlement may be effected without the proposed further delay, which, while it operates so injuriously on the interests of the parties concerned, produces no advantage to Spain. On the contrary, the committee cannot but express their belief that the financial interests of Spain would be largely benefited by the effects that would follow from this settlement. English capital is quite ready to occupy itself with Spanish enter prise as soon as the circulation of Spanish securities shall be restored.—l have the honour to be, excel lent sir, your obedient servant, 11 " J. D. POWLES, Deputy-Chairman. Sunday Trading Bill. Last evening a crowded public meeting, in oPr°'',. , ;" tion to the above bill, introduced by Mr. T. nugneP M.P., was held at Sanger's Lecture-ball, city road ; Mr. Franklin in the chair. Mr. - WALL, the secretary of the committee, who directing the movement in oppositi on to the . bill, said he had sent letters of invitati on to Lor° Amberley, M.P., and Mr. T. Hughes, MY., to present, but had received no reply to the letters. lie the believed, however, that Lord Amberley was in country. The CHAIRMAN said he was at a loss to conceiv.° what had induced Mr. Hughes to me ddle wi th tn f subject of Sunday trading, when there w ere 11so ina n 3 y Y e other important measures on which he migh t ~;3 tried his legislative band. (Hear.) lie ba d no faith i¢ this attempt to interfere with the social w ants (4 oor poorer classes. It was only in the YerYirr.d neighbourhoods where Sunday trading was c7vilfor on to any extent, and if there was no neeessi'd it the evil would not exist. g . 111 r. PHILLIPS moved a resolution denou ncing bill : t1 ; as an infringement on the civil and relig'° 0 liberty of the people, totally uncalled for, linocif tli© that interfered with the social requirements a;„ 0 0 poor, calling for the most determined the b il l A s from the people generally. He described the o f one for the promotion of hypocrisy, ao a P icc i c ees one-sided legislation, inflicting pains and Pel'aciiof on the poor alone. The bill was totally denl„34 any principle, for while it forbade the s ale of lr"tii", sweetmeats, tobacco, or newspapers after ten il l e ll morning, it allowed the railway companies to s .os for profit the privilege of travelling in their forced to the public during the whole of the daY.
