THE EXECUHON OF THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN. The following account of the last hours and exe cution of the Emperor Maximilian is taken from a Paris journal, the Figaro, which states that it has obtained it by the Atlantic Telegraph from the columns of the New York Pi c ayune, which repub lishes it from the Esperaliza of Queretaro of the 20th of June, the day after the execution : " The first messenger who reached San Luiz di Potosi on the morning of the 19th May did not re turn here with the orders of the President until the 22d. The Emperor was then informed that he had to appear before a council of war. " He protested in writing, and claimed to be tried by the Chamber of Notables, which had called him to the, throne. Proceedings were in consequence suspended, and his letters and the papers which had been seized were forwarded to Juarez. The answer was not received till the 30th. It was a refusal, based upon this fact, which no impartial person can con test, that the Chamber of Notables had not been convoked by the head of the Republic ; but Juarez, animated by a laudable sentiment, offered to spare the Emperor's life on condition that he took an oath never again to set foot on Mexican soil, and signed a declaration of his own abdication. " Spontaneously, and by ward of mouth, Maxi milian replied that he would accept both conditions with pleasure, provided the officers and soldiers cap tured with him were also amnestied. Ile was at that time ignorant of the fate of Castillo and Avellano. That requiremmt was also agreed to, and other communications took place, which, however, led to nothing further. "The Council at length met in a secret sitting, on the morning of the 11th, under the presidency of General Corona, with whom were Generals Esco bedo, Martinez, Ruiz, Negrete, and two colonels. " The three prisoners were brought before this tribunal. Maximilian declined to avail himself of the assistance of an advocate, while Mejia and Miramon chose one to defend them conjointly. We have been unableto obtain the details of this sitting, which did not last an hour. " The condemnation, which was sent off the same day, was not returned until the morning of the 18th. The President, it is affirmed, was inclined to cle mency, but our Minister at Washington, Romero, overcame that disposition, and obtained the order for execution, notwithstanding the plea that only a small majority had affirmed the sentence. " As soon as General Corona was put in posses sion of the necessary document the three prisoners were informed of it. They manifested no surprise, because it had been impossible to conceal from them any longer the fate of the others. Maximilian simply requested that they might be left together until the last moment, which was graciously accorded. They were transferred to the building, formerly a convent, which served as an hospital for the French troops, because the hall on the ground floor was commo dious and spacious, and had a pleasant prospect out upon the garden of the interior court. " Au altar was raised at the further end, and the sentinels were instructed to fire upon any one at tempting to enter or come out without a writte❑ permission from Captain Gonzales. " The only person allowed to enter was the Abbe Fischer, secretary and religious adviser of the Em peror. Some time after the Bishop of Queretaro arrived, offering his sacred ministration, which was was accepted after a brief consultation between the prisoners. The night was passed in quiet conversa tion, and the condemned men confessed. Miramon was suffering greatly from the wound in his eye, which he constantly bathed with cold water. Mejia fell into a deep sleep. "Maximilian asked for paper and pens, which, in the middle of the night, were found with some difficulty. He wrote two letters—one in German, addressed to his mother, the Archduchess Sophia ; and the other to his wife. He confided them to the bishop, begging him to have them forwarded He added a lock of his hair, which the wife of one of the guards came and cut off for him. He kissed it, folded it together, and slipped it into the envelope, which was already sealed. " Towards 4 in the morning the Emperor desired to hear mass, which was said by the bishop. Mejia was roused up, and all three partook of the coin- munion. " After mass Maximilian appears to have remained for a long time keeling on the hard stones—for there was no pric-Dieu—with his head bent and his hands over his eyes. Whether he was praying or weeping is uncertain. Miramon was pale and downcast ; Mejia was radiant—for we must remember that he is an Indian, and that it is glorious for him to die along with his master, as he declared. " At 7 o'clock the notes of a military band were heard ; and Capt. Gonzales entered the chapel with bandages to blindfold the prisoners. Miramon sub mitted to the operation quietly. Mejia refused, and, as the captain was about to use force, the bishop whispered a few words to the General, who then acquiesced. But the Emperor, coming forward, declared that, as to himself, he would not be blind folded. After a moment's hesitation, Gonzales, with a friendly salutation to Maximilian, went and took his place at the head of the escorting party. The procession then moved forward, a squadron of Lan cers in front, followed by the band playing a funeral march. A battalion of infantry, formed in two lines, composed the remainder of the escort. " When it reached the principal gate of the hos pital, Mejia said aloud,—' Sire, give to us for the last time the ex ample of your noble courage ; we follow your Majesty.' " The Franciscan friars now appeared, the two in front bearing the cross and holy water, the others holding tapers. Each of the three coffins intended for the doomed men were carried by a group of four Indians ; three black crosses to be fixed where each prisoner knelt for execution were borne last. " Capt. Gonzales then made a sign to Maximilian to move forward. The Emperor advanced courage ously, saying to the two Generals Vamos nos a la libertad !' (Let us go to freedom !) " The processionslowly ascended the street leading to the cemetery, behind the church, and by the road approaching the aqueduct. It soot. came upon the height overlooking the plain, and seen from below the appearance of the cortege was most impressive. The Emperor walked first, having the Abbe Fischer on his right, and the Bishop on his left. Imme diately behind came Miramon, supported by Fran ciscans, and Mejia between two priests belonging to the parish of Santa Cruz. " When the procession reached the summit of the hill Maximilian looked steadily for a moment at the rising sun; then, taking out his watch, he pressed a spring which concealed a portrait in miniature of the Empress Charlotte ' • he kissed it, and handing the chain to the Abbe Fischer, said, " Carry this souvenir to Europe to my dear wife, and if she be ever able to understand you,my say that eyes closed with the impre ss i on of her image, which I shall carry with me above The cortege had now reached the great exterior wall of the cemetery, and the bells were slowly tolling a funeral knell; only those composing the escort were present, for the crowd bad been debarred from ascending the hill. "Three small benches, with the wooden crosses, were placed against the wall, and three shooting parties, each baying two non-commissioned officers as a reserve, for the coup de grace, approached within a few paces of the prisoners. The Emperor at the noise made by the movement of the muskets thought the soldiers were about to fire, and rapidly turning to his two companions he embraced them most affectionately. Miramon, surprised, very nearly sank upon his seat, where he remained quite helpless . ; and the Franciscans raised him in their arms. Mejia returned the embrace of Maximilian, whispering some broken words which were not overheard ; be then folded his arms and remained standing. "The bishop advancing addressed the Emperor —‘ Sire, give to Mexico, without any exception, the__ kiss of reconciliation in my person ; Jet your Majesty, in this supreme moment, accord pardon to all.' "The Emperor was unable to conceal the emotion which agitatedhlin; he allowed the bishop to embrace Lim ; then, raising his voic e , be said, Tell Lopez that I forgive him his treachery ; tell all Mexico that I pardon its crime.' " His Blajesty then pressed the hand of the Abbe Fischer, who, unable to utter a word, sank at the feet of the Emperor, bathing with tears his hands, which he kissed. Many present wept bitterly. Maximilian gently extricated his hands, and, ad vancing a step, said with a melancholy smile to the officer commanding the executing party, Ala dis position de usted.' " At that moment, on a sign given by the officer, the muskets were levelled against the Emperor's breast ; he murmured a few words in German, and the discharge enveloped the spectators in smoke. Miramon fell heavily to the ground ; Mejia remained erect, and waved his arms about, and a ball through the head ended his agony. " The Emperor fell back upon the cross, which sustained his corpse ; the body was immediately raised and put in the coffin, as were those of the two generals. All three were buried without delay in the cemetery, the bishop giving the absolution. " General Corona subsequently summoned the Prelate and demanded the surrender of the letters. The one addressed to the Archduchess Sophia was not opened, as she, being the mother of the Emperor, could not be supposed to receive any dangerous com munication from her son. That to the Empress Charlotte was unsealed for weighty and justifiable political and State reasons, and we have been allowed to take a copy of it. Its terms are these : " My dear beloved Carlotta,— " 'lf God one day permits your recovery, and you read these lines, you will learn the cruelty of the ill-fortune which has unceasingly pursued me since your departure for Europe. You took with you all my chance and all my soul. Why did I not listen to your counsel? So many events, alas so many sudden blows have broken all my hopes, that death is for me a happy deliverance, and not an agony. I fall gloriously, as a soldier—as a King, vanquished, but not dishonoured. If your suffer ings be too great—if God call you speedily to rejoin me, I will bless the Divine hand which has so heavily pressed upon us. Adieu, adieu! " Your poor ILtx.' "This letter was written in French." Naval and Military Intelligence. The Royal yacht Osborne, Commander John D'Arcy, which sailed from Portsmouth on Monday, has proceeded to Cherbourg, and is expected to re turn from that port to Osborne with his Royal Highness Prince Arthur on board. The sailing Indianian Alumbagh arrived at Spit head yesterday afternoon from India, with the head-quarters of the 34th Regiment on board. The ship was towed into Portsmouth harbour last even ing, and the troops will disembark this morning and march into quarters in Portsmouth garrison. The Dutch ironclad Prinsllendrick, built by Messrs Laird, of Birkenhead, reached the Tyne on Monday, and would go into the Tyne docks yesterday to take in her armament of Armstrong guns. Messrs. Chas. Mitchell and Co., of Low Walker, on the Tyne, arc building a gunboat for harbour defences for the Elswick Ordnance Works, after a model invented by Mr. George Rendalls, one of the managing partners in Messrs. W. G. Armstrong's works, and approved by the Admiralty. The boat will be small, and will be made to carry an Arm- strong 300-pounder gun of 12} tons weight and nine-inch bore. The gun is mounted on a platform in the fore end of the boat, and under the platform is a kind of well into which the gun can be lowered when not in use. The introduction of the well is the novelty of the invention. The gunboat will be fitted with two engines, one to work the screw propeller, and a small engine to work the capstan and to raise and lower the gun into the well. The screw steam gunboat Osprey, 4, wrecked near Algoa Thy, May 20, when homeward bound from China, was of 682 tons burden, and had en gines of 200 horse power. She was commissioned on the 14th of December, 1861, by Commander Wm. Menzies. The management of the regimental canteens at Aldershot for some time past has been such as to raise the question whether the objects they were in tended to serve are not lost sight of or neutralised. They appear to havebeen designed by the Comman der-in-Chief with the view of economising the men's pay and conferring extra benefits by a division of the profits; but it seems that the soldier derives very little benefit from them. There may be some ex ceptions in so large a camp as that of Aldershot, but generally the profits of these establishments are absorbed by the canteen sergeant and his assistants, and by salaries to professional vocalists. The effort to provide the men with amusement within their own lines was, no doubt, extremely praiseworthy ; but complaint has been made in many quarters that while 12 10s. or £3 per week is often paid for pro . fessional singers, the services of amateurs in the dif ferent regiments, offered atmuch lower figures, are not accepted. Under this system the profits become exceedingly small, and are dispersed abroad instead of being divided among the canteen customers. The men say that they no .v get no shelf-jackets, boots, or other advant , ges from the canteen, beyond a slight reduction in the price of beer. It may be urged, on the other side, that paid professional vocalists attract custom, and that the engagement of private soldiers in such a capacity would infringe some points of discipline; nevertheless, the present management of canteens must undergo great altera tion before they can be accepted as model establish ments. One shrewd regiment, the 72d (Duke of Albany's Own) Highlanders, has already taken the initiative by erecting a stage in its canteen for the men of the corps to give performances, and it is hoped that the example will be generally followed and such a revision made in the management of canteens as shall secure to the troops the whole of the benefits which the auth,rities designed them to confer. No announcement which has been made to the troops of the British Army since the Crimean War, or indeed at any period of military history, has given more general satisfaction than the following, which appeared in the Camp Divisional Orders at Alder shott on Monday :—" The Lieut. -General com manding directs attention to Army Circular Special,' dated War-office, the 2d of July, 1867, promulgating the Royal Warrant of the 29th of June last, relative to extra pay granted to the Army." All the troops are in high spirits in consequence of this official intimation, and hundreds of men have already re-engaged. Two companies of the slth (West Norfolk) Regi ment have arrived at Aldershot. One company, under the command of Capt. Parker, marched in on The head quarters and Friday, and the other, under the command of Capt. Bayley, on Sunday. re mainder + don on the arrival of the from Manchester, will proceed seatnreegism,aent, latter corps is expected 57th from New Zealand. The , to of th t e h daily. A divisional field day and sham fight was held at Aldershot yesterday. The troops, under the com mand of Lie u t.-G en . the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., p ara ded near the Queen's Pavilion, facing Caesar's Camp, at half-past 10 o'clock, the infantry regiments furnished with ten rounds of blank ammunition per man. The enemy, who was supposed to have come from the westward, was re presented by three batteries of Royal Horse Artil lery, under the command of Col. Herbert, C. 8., Assi st—Quartermaster -General, and in position on Caesar's Camp. The tactics of the day were dis played in the attack and defence of this natural for tress, and after excellent manoeuvres and brilliant strategy on both sides the position was carried by storm, and the enemy obliged to retreat to Crondall common, whether he was pursued and eventually captured. The troops afterwards marched past and returned to quarters about 3 o'clock. A great num ber of spectators assembled to witness the proceed ings, which were attended with no casualty beyond that of a horse belonging to the Artillery falling dead. The men manoeuvred without their knap sacks—a circumstance which, considering the great heat of the day, tended in no small degree to their individual comfort, and a concession on the part of the Lieut.-Genehl commanding gratefully appre ciated by the whole division. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Lieut. S. S. Chowne to the Irre sistible, additional, for temporary service ; Sub- Lieut. A. W. Hamilton, Sub-Lieut. L. A. Beau mont, and Sub-Lieut. R. F. Ward to the Victoria and Albert ; and Sub-Lieut. Charles C. Wood to the Bellerophon. THE SUN, LONPON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1867._ which reference had been made. It was represented to him that such a rule of the association existed, and he wished to give Lieut. Cooper an opportunity of availing himself of it—nothing more nor less ; and he would have done the same with respect to any other member. Absence from London and illness were the causes that prevented Lieut. Cooper mak ing himself efficient. IVhen be gave Cooper's cer tificate witness accepted it as a fact of bis being efficient from the circumstance of his name having been tendered to him by the adjutant or by the sergeant-major. In 1865 it was brought to his knowledge that he was not efficient, and witness acted accordingly. He never signed any certificate for him without believing he was efficient at the time. By the President—lt was possible witness might have signed a certificate when Lieut. Cooper might not have been efficient. With this the case of the complainant closed, and Captain Clark, the defendant, applied for an adjournment to enable him to prepare his defence and to call witnesses. The President said the matter lay in a nutshell, and a short adjournment might answer Capt. Clark's pur pose. There was no doubt, he added, that Lieut.- Colonel Lawrie remarked, in reply, that he shot under the exceptional rule of the association. The hearing was eventually adjourned. coast among the Channel Islands which, although badly hung, being almost out of sight, has such genuine merit that it was bought immediately." FRANK LESLIE tells us :—‘, Albert Bierstadt, the landscape-painter, has sailed for Europe." It adds : We saw a few days since a picture lately finished by him, the subject taken from a passage of wild nature in the Far West. It is a scene rather of prairie than of mountain character, though there are steep bluffs and distant mountain ranges included in the com position. The foreground of the picture is an ad mirable realisation of the herbage and flora peculiar to the great plains; and, for feeling and sympathy with nature, it is superior, we think, to any of the artist's larger and more ambitious pictures.—Anglo- American Times. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The Reform Bill has passed through committee. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past six o'clock, the final schedule was adopted, the preamble was agreed upon, and the Chairman was ordered to report the bill to the House. One solitary voice —said to be Mr. Beresford Hope's, but, at any rate, proceeding from below the gangway on the ➢linis terial side—answered " No' to the question that the bill be reported; but the thankfulness and satisfac tion of the mass of members were expressed by cheering which drowned all symptoms of dissent. The bill has virtually passed the Commons. On Friday it will be considered on the report, and there is on the notice book a string of amendments, which will, doubtless, be increased in length before Friday comes ; but we may be confident that nothing beyond formal amendments will be adopted. The House sees the end of its labours in view, and would be apt to treat with some asperity any one who in terposed without grave reason to justify the delay his motion might occasion. It is understood that Friday is to be given up wholly to the Reform Bill if necessary. Should the sitting in the afternoon prove insufficient, private members will be asked to forego their privileges, so that the clauses of the bill may be finally settled before the end of the week. Oa Monday the third reading will be pro posed, and we trust that on Tuesday or Wednesday the bill may be carried to the other House of Par- liament. It was manifest to all when the committee met yesterday afternoon that they meant to complete their labours before the sitting was suspended. No mercy was shown to members who attempted to persist in proposals meant for no purpose but to satisfy the self-importance of some section of their constituents. Mr. Locke's clause for regulating the demand of Rates was alone seriously dis cussed, and it was at length accepted, modified by some considerable amendments suggested by Mr. Hardy. It w ill be remembered with what heat the necessity of a formal demand was urged a . fortnight ago. It was said that the Govern ment was pledged to bring forward and press upon the C omm itt ee a p r ovision insuring a per sonal demand of rates from every ratepayer,. so that no person otherwise qualified as a voter might lose his privilege because he had overlooked the necessity of paying his rates, and the overseer had not warned him that he was in arrear. It was de clared, when th e C omm ittee rejected a clause which would have practically enfranchised all the poorest because of their inability to pay the rates due from them, that this question re-opened the whole ques tion of the Borough Franchise. Milder counsels yesterday p reva il e d. M r . Gl a d s tone did, indeed, once more bewail the extinction of the Compound Householder, b u t h e qu i c kly p a ssed from this ▪ dan gerous ground, a n d con tented himself with arguing against the sufficiency of a general notice pcsted on the doors of p l aces o f wors hi p an d a dvertis• ed in local newspapers. A general notice would not do, he urged, because it did not tell the amount to be paid. It seems sufficient to answer that a notice which stated the amount levied in the pound would give each rat e p ayer a ll th e i n f orma tion he would need, as ratep a y ers i n genera l, an d certainly all those whose political privileges are supposed to be endangered by want of punctuality in payment, know with perfect accuracy the rateable value of the houses they occupy. The Committee appeared to be of this opinion, for after some discussion Mr. Hardy's amendment was assented to, subject to the . common condition of further consideration, ne cessary, on the report. This practically terminated the business of the afternoon. Those who ven tured to stand in the way of the Committee after wards, and they were not many, made proposals which for the most part came, according to the Chan ce ll or o f t h e E xc h equer, w i t h in the scope of the B oun d ary C omm i ss i on ; and this explanation was at once accepted as a reason for abandoning the proposals. The schedules were ahead, and the Committee was e ager to attack them, but, as it soon appeared, not from any desire t o alter them so much as from a wish to have done with the Bill. One of the most serious amendments to S c h e d u l e B turned on t h e ouestion whether a future borough of the North Country should be called Hartlepool or The Hartlepools, and Mr. Disraeli recommended that the final settlement of this grave matter should be deferred until the report, by which time the wishes of the inhabitants might be ascertained b y t e l egraph. M r. H e nniker- Major's proposal t o t r i sect Suffolk was neg atived, as anticipated, with ou t di scussion ; M r. Ayrton postponed his suggestion for the enfranchisement of Wandsworth, and th e c l a i ms of Lowestoft, Rother ham, Doncaster, and R e i g hl ey were re j ec ted as summarily as the pl eas f or grace put forwar d on behalf of Lichfield, Hertford, Bodmin, and other ornaments of Schedule A. T he schedu l es we re added to the bill without a s i ng l e alterat i on b eyo nd re-naming the new di v i s i ons of Somerset, and the adoption of the preamble crowned the edifice of Reform. There was a general desire on both sides of the House that the report s h ou ld b e t a k en to morrow, but Mr. Disraeli very properly deferred to the remonstrances of Mr. Gladstone and Lord Cran borne, and postponed it till Friday. The bill itself will not be reprinted till thi s afternoon, and it is plainly desirable that some opportunity should be afforded of communication with the constituencies, lest clauses should be permanently embodied in the bill which would produce undesigned local incon venience. The Reform Bill, as amended by the committee, will be distributed among the members of the House of Commons this afte rnoon, an d if th e pertinent suggesti▪ on of Sir R a i nald Knightley be acted upon, it will be accompanied with a re p r i n t of the measure as ori▪ ginally introduced. It is, perhaps, too much to expect that th e G overnment will be anxious to exhibit the contrast between their first draught and the complete scheme concocted in committee, but the means of comparing the two are within the reach of all, a n d t h e comparison will doubtless be studied, not with out effect, before Monday. Sir Rai nald linightley observed that a document containing in parallel columns the original and the amended bill s would be of curious historicalinterest, but this is a faint description of its value. It would be to some extent an explana tion of Parliamentary tactics, and still more of the power of a movement once started to c arr y a w ay with it those who set it in m o ti on. Hav i ng urge d the necessity of a gene rous and ample measure of enfranchisement long befor e P ar li ament met, we accept with satisfaction a result which corresponds with our recommendations. Whether the Govern ment as a body are pe r f ect l y satisfied with their own handiwork may perhaps be doubtf u l, an d it i s cer tain that a eon siderable section of th e i r suppor t ers regard with dislike the measure they have helped to bring to a successful iss ue . Th ese are the men w h o believed in securitie s "- as securities, " who thought it possible to maintain the condition of two years' residence, and looked upen compound householding as a Heaven-sent b oon to keep men from the fran chise rather th an " the device of Old Nick " stigma tised by Mr. H en l ey. It is to be regretted in the interests of good government that any section o f th e Legislature should have deceived themselves as to the possibility of maintaining securities which were clearly unt ena bl e ; but as we never shared their false confid ence, we cannot affect to sympathise with their recent dismay. We insisted upon the impossibility of layi ng down different terms of re sidence as the con di t i ons of en f ranc hi semen t o f different classes of voters ; and, having always be lieved the effect of the practice of composition upon the franchise to be excessively exaggerated on both sides, we hailed the amendment of Mr. Hodgkin son, which gave the privilege of the vote to every householder who pays the rates free from the diffi culty of compounding. Our only regret is that the enfranchising clauses have not been supplemented by a scheme of redistribution equally comprehen sive. The evil effects of the new franchise, so far as an'y may be anticipated, would have been re moved by an adequate redistribution of seats. It is in small boroughs that household suffrage may prove a source of corruption, and small boroughs retain privileges abated ift some cases, but still in all wholly disproportionate to their real preten sions. The leaders of the great parties have failed to show any mastery of the question of redistribu tion, and we must be content with a scheme which removes the worst anomalies until public opinion on the constitution of the House of Commons of the future has been slowly matured. FATTENING HORSES FOR FOOD.---At an exhibi tion of meat recently held at Nancy a butcher exposed a mare 27 months old, weighing 410 kilos., and a horse, 13 years old weighing 520 kilos. ; these animals had been fattened for the table, and wero covered with garlands. The members of the Acclimatisation Society awarded butcher Penneand a silver medal, and 50f. in money. Be fore being taken to the shambles the victims were led through the town. INCREASE OF PAY IN 711 E ARMY. WAR OFFICE, July 2. The following Royal warrant is promulgated to the army by direction of the Secretary of State for war : EDWARD LUGARD. " Victoria IL-Whereas, we have been pleased to take into our consideration the best means of im proving the condition of the non-commissioned offi cers and soldiers of those regiments and corps of our army which are liable to service in all parts of the world ; and also of encouraging recruiting for our regiments of the line ; and whereas, it has been re presented to us that this end may most effectually be attained by the grant of an increase to the exist ing rates of pay as fixed by our royal warrant of the 3d Feb., 1866 : our will and pleasure, therefore, is that the pay of all ranks of non-commissioned offi cers and private men of our regiments and corps aftermentioned, that is to say, Foot Guards, cavalry, and infantry of the line, Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Military Train, Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment, cavalry depots, and depot battalions, re cruiting districts, schools of gunnery and musketry, departmental corps, be, from and after the Ist day of April last, increased by an addition of 2d. a day to the several rates of daily pay assigned to them by our said warrant. In consequence of the ex ceptional rates of pay at present granted to our Household Cavalry, we have not deemed it ex pedient to extend to all ranks of those regiments the grant of the additional 2d. a day ; but we are pleased to take the opportunity of assimilating the rate of pay of our regiments of Life Guards and Royal Horse Guards, and have therefore deter mined that the following schedule be substituted for that portion of our Royal Warrant of the 3d February, 1866, which regulates the pay of our Household Cavalry :-Life Guards and Horse Guards : Regimental corporal major, 4s. 4d. ; troop corporal major, 3s. 10d ; bandmister, 4s. 4d. ; quar termaster corporal major, 3s. 10d. ; orderly room clerk, 2s. 91d. ; after three years' uninterrupted service in the rank, 3s. 31d. ; trumpet major, 3s. ; corporal, 2s. 9id. ; private, 2s. 01d. ; kettle drummer, 2s. 7d. ; trumpeter, 2s. 2d. ; trumpeter appointed before the 10th of June, 1846, in the Life Guards, and before the 29th of May, 1850, in the Horse Guards, 2s. 7d. ; farrier major, 4s. Id. ; ar mourer corporal, 2s. 91d.; saddler corporal, 2s. 91d.; farrier corporal, 3s. 3d. ; and shoeing smith 2s. al. It is our further will and pleasure that, as a special inducement to soldiers to re-engage for a second period of service in our army, a further addition of ld. a day be, from and after the Ist day of April last, made to the pay of all men who have completed or who shall have completed, a first period of limited service, and shall now or hereafter be serving in any corps or regiment in our service, except in colonial corps other than the Canadian Rifles. We do fur ther command that this additional pay of ld. a day during a second period of service shall, as regards the non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment, be in lieu of the excep tional addition of Id. a day now received by soldiers of that corps serving under special engagement for continued service. " Given at our Court at St. James's, this 29th day of June, in the 31st year of our reign. " JOHN S. PAKINGTON." Volunteer Investigation. Yesterday a Court of Inquiry, directed by reso• ,utions passed at a recent Court of Lieutenancy of the City of London, was held at the headquarters of the Royal London Militia, Finsbury, into certain charges preferred by Lieut.-Col. Lawrie, of the 3d City of London Rifle Volunteer Corps, against Captain Clark, of the same corps. The charges were officially stated as follows :—First, that Capt. William Robert Clark had been guilty of insubordi nation and conduct unbecoming an officer in writ ing a letter dated May 9, 1867, to her Majesty's Commissioners of Lieutenancy, imputing to his commanding officer personally malicious motives in his conduct towards him (Captain Clark). Second, that in such letter Captain Clark had untruly stated that Lieut.-Col. Richards had given and continued to give false certificates of efficiency to members of tho regiment to enable them to compete for prizes at Wimbledon and at regimental prize meetings. The Court of Inquiry was composed of Lieut.-Col. Warde, London Rifle Brigade, President ; Lieut. Col. Walmisley, Ist London Artillery Corps; Lieut. Aikman, 2d London Rifle Volunteers ; Capt. Courtney, 2d London ; and Captain Stilwell, Ist London Engineer Volunteers ; and it was attended by Mr. Henley Smith, Clerk to the Court of Lieu tenancy, in his official capacity. Both Lieut.-Col. Lawrie, who preferred the charges, and Capt. Clark, against whom they were made, were present, the latter being accompanied by Mr. Hannen as his counsel. The evidence taken had reference almost exclusively to the second charge, in which Captain Clark was alleged to have untruly stated that Lieut. - Col. Richards 11:-.1 given false certificates of effi ciency to members of the regiment to enable them to compete for prizes at Wimbledon and at regimental prize meetings. The inquiry turned principally on the efficiency or otherwise of Lieut. Cooper, lately, if not still, a member of the Third London Volun teer!, and on that point the sergeant-m ij )r of the regiment, who was the chief witness, produced the books of the corps to show the times, varying in number, Lieut. Cooper had attended battalion and company drill in 1861, '65, and '66, and other evi dence was given to show in which of those years he shot for prizes. Capt. Clark, in reply to questions by Col. Lawrie, stated in substance that Lieut. Cooper shot iu 1866 in the Wimbledon competition, but not on certificate, because there had been an alteration in the rules of the National Rifle Association ; but in his (Capt. (Mark's) letter to the Commissioners of Lieutenancy he had stated that false certificates of competency had been given by Col. Richards to " a member" of the regim-nt, not to " members ;" that the books of the regiment produced before the present court showed that the colonel had given such certificates to the officer in question in 1863, '64, and '65, for the purpose of enabling him to com pete for the Queen's prize at Wimbledon, which in cluded other prizes ; and he (Capt. Clark) could not produce the certificates of efficiency in respect to Lieut. Cooper in 1863, '64, or '65, but he remem bered seeing the one for 1865 ; that, to the best of his recollection, he saw the one for 1864, and to his cA-tain knowledge he saw that for 1865, which w as in the usual form. Capt. Clark, still, replying to Col. Lawrie, said he made no objection at the time to Lieut. Cooper shooting at Wimbledon in 1866, and that with respect to 1865 he did not know but that the lieutenant was then efficient. Col. Richards was then called and examined by Col. Lawrie. He said he believed he was present at the meeting of the shooting committee last year relating to the Queen's prize, and that Lieut. Cooper's name was included in the list of names forwarded by him last year of representatives of the regiment at the shooting. On 19th June he made a special application in writing to the National Rifle Association with respect to Lieut. Cooper, stating in effect that from illness and other causes which prevented him completing his drills he was not efficient in 1865 and 1866, but that he was efficient in 1863, according to the Volunteer Act of 1863. That application was made under an exceptional rule of the National Rifle Association, which said, "As cases may occur in which intending been unable m un b a e b r l o e f f d ro ri m lls w n a e n ce t s o sa f r o y p f portu - or effi ntyto competitors c om p ciency, the council will be prepared to deal excep ' tionally in such cases, at the instanceof the command ing officerscompetitors N t ir h h a iC t h ca intending sesthe belong, o f th e provided corps t in all corps under the Volunteer Act of 1863." To his competitor has been returned as an e ffective of some application he had a reply stating that Lieut. Cooper might shoot subject to the articles of association. That was the only occasion to his (witness's) know ledge that he ever forwarded the name of a non efficient member. He thought Lieut. Cooper did not shoot for the regimental prize last autumn. On perusing oi h ler so f t L e i cu t letter ena o n fCa Lieutenancy, y, dated Clark t . e dtthe e theof May, In n he was completely at a loss to know what the captain meant by such accusations. In cross-examination by Captain Clark, witness said he did not know whether Lieut. Cooper was efficient in 1864, and he did not take any steps to ascertain that he was before he wrote the letter to the council of the association to 7HE EX-LORD MAYOR PHILLIPS. Yesterday an influential deputation from the Jewish community in the City of London, at the head of whom was the venerable Sir Moses Monte fiore, presented two magnificent candelabra of solid silver and of great value to Sir Benjamin Phillips. Each of the testimonials is constructed to carry seven lights, and much skill is displayed in the arrange ment of the figures in relief and inthe general design and ornamentation. They bear the following ins'3rip tion :—" Presented to Sir B. S. Phillips, Knight, Alderman of the ward of Farringdon-within, by the members of the community, in testimony of their ap preciation of the admirable manner in which be sus tainei and graced the office of Lord Mayor of the City of London from November, 1865, to Novem ber, 1866, thereby eminently maintaining the high character of the Corporation and entitling himself to the support and thanks of his brethren." Sir Moses Montefiore, who was the spokesman of the donors, said he was deputed by their common friends to represent them on the occasion. He had to pre sent to Sir Benjamin a memorial of the appreciation of their whole community of the able and successful discharge of the arduous duties of chief magistrate of the City of London. He was sure he expressed the gratification of others as well as his own when he said that in the fulfilment of his high office it was Sir Benjamin's especial object to show that the exercise of their municipal func tions was compatible with their reverence of their holy religion. The energy and intelligence mani fested by him in the discharge of his high magis terial duties had cond uce d not on l y t o hi s own honour, but also to that of th e commun i ty to which both of them had the happi ness to b e l ong . They did ' not call upon him t o l oo k upon t h e g ift as having any value beyond the respect and regard of their I co-religionists, which it was meant to indicate, and they invite.! him to accept it in that light. Sir Benjamin Phillips, in reply, said he knew by long experience how grateful members of his community were to any one who, in however small a degree, contributed to advance their social and political con dition. There was no phase of their remarkable and touching history that did not reveal an unbroken and an unalterable sympathy with each other, and the beauties of that faith which in every country and under all circumstances bad bound them together for one great and sacred purpose. lle should try by every act of his life to justify the esteem in which he was held by the great'and an cient community to which he belonged, as symbo lised by their munificent gift, which was greatly en hanced by being presented by,one so eminently dis tinguished among thorn as Sir Moses Moutefiore. FINE ARTS. Mr. B. F. Reinhort has just finished a pic• turn which it is a pity, for the sake of American art, was not completed in time to obtain a place in the exhibition of the Royal Academy. The sub ject represents a party of Pennsylvanian emigrants on their way to tho Illinois prairies. The sun is setting, the day's journey completed, and the en campment arranged by the side of the State road, which before railways were general witnessed many scenes in the prairies such as Mr. Reinhart has so graphically and truthfully depicted. The halting- place is near a creek, of which the artist has availed himself to group his figures in a manner which, though testing his powErs to the utmost, gives a fine effect to his picture. On the slope from the road to the water the people are gathered, and above them the teams of horses are picketed by the waggons. The great attraction is the sluggish stream, into which a cow, with its fore-legs well immersed, has dipped her nose, and from which another has raised hers all dripping. A flock of sheep are in the act of descending the em bankment. One man is filling buckets for the team, while another comes along the road with a bundle of prairie grass on his shoulders. The horses, painted in the most lifelike attitudes, are awaiting their evening meal, and the women are cooking the s u pp er in a pot suspended from a tripod over the fire. An old man is sitting by with a pipe in his mouth, a gun in his hand, and his dog lying by hislide. A yoke of bullocks have come up just loosened from the waggons. Figures of women and children are clustered on the slope. The waggons comprise all descriptions of vehicles used by travellers in the prairies. The picture has been worked out with the greatest elaboration, yet the artist has succeeded in combining a bold and striking e ff ec t w i t h thi s exquisite finish. Mr. Reinhart's great forte lies in his admirable delineation of animals, and this sub ject is well chosen tc display his power. His picture is one of which he may well be proud, and we hope that he will so use it as to attract to him the atten tion it deserves, and enable this Virginian artist to repair some of the losses he has suffered from the cruel ravages of the war. Two pictures are on exhibition at the Royal Aca demy, from the hand of a young lady, daughter of a well-known American gentleman. Both have been favourably noticed by the Press, and the red star signifying " sold" is already affixed to one. Miss L. Starr takes for her subject a scene from the " Taming of the Shrew." Bianca is seatel at a table with her open book before her, and Lucentio standing leaning over the table at her side. llor- tensio is in the middle of the room with his instru ment in his hands, and the story is well told by the attitudes and expression of the figures. The heavy antique furniture, the well-painted window, and the costumes, are all in keeping with the pe riod. The young ar ti st has not s h run k from a difficult task, nor fea re d to place her picture by the side of those of the greatest masters o f the art in England. Miss St arr d oes not re ly for effect on bright colours and accessories, and of this " La Pcnsarosa "is a st r iki ng instance- It is an un adorned head, with green back-groun d. The fawn coloured dress is o f th e severest s tyle of simplicity, without ornament of any kind , thus concentrated a t tent i on on the face. Miss the right direction, a nd the artist has Starr is evidently i n her power to one aim. Thought was the object she endeavoured to p or t ray, and s h e has thrown the effort of her mind i n t o a fema l e bead, sketched as if absorbed in h er own musings, forcing all which must be carried to an extr eme w h en dress an d all the vanities of life are negle c t e d . " Bradford has ma d e some c h a nges in the to the Librador ar rangements for his p ropose d voyag e coast.

The London co rrespondent o f the Round Table alludes as follows to the picture in the Royal Academy, by Mr. Dix :—" One of our countrymen who is now settled in London, Mr. Charles Temple Dix, son of our representative at the French Court, has a picture in the collectio n representing a rocky Miscellaneous Foreign News. The Baltic, whose arrival at Southampton we noticed last week, brought 69 passengers and a large cargo. She left New York on the 15th June. On the 30th June the Cunard extra steamship Malta, arrived at Queenstown with 142 passengers ; next day the extra Inman steamship, City of Washington, arrived at that port, having left New York on the 19th ultimo with 73 passengers and $55,000. On the 2d inst. the Bremen arrived at Southampton, with a full complement of passengers and $5,000. On the same day . the Cimbria arrived, having left New York on the 22d ultitno. She had on board 36 passengers and $74,500. On the same day the :nman steamer City of Antwerp arrived at Queens- ,own, with 101 passengers and $175,000. On the 3d the North German Lloyd's steamer America reached Southampton, from New York the 22d June. On the 28th ultimo the North German steamer Union, and on the 29th the lowa, arrived at New York from the Clyde. On the same day the Inman steamer City of Baltimore arrived out, and the Gunard steamer Tripoli on the Ist July. The Teu tonia and the Ville de Paris arrived out on the 2d, and the same day the Peruvian reached Quebec. On the 3d the steamers Erin and Java reached New York. Accounts from Paris state that a concession has been granted to an Anglo-Franco company for the laying of a cable from Brest to New Orleans. Congress met at Washington on the 3d instant, and as a quorum of members were found to be pre sent business proceeded. Mr. Johnson, accompanied by Secretary Seward, Postmaster-General Randall, General . Rousseau, Baron Stoeckl, and other prominent gentlemen, arrived at New York on the evening of the 21st June, on his way to Boston. The party was received by the Mayor and Common Council of New York, and Admiral Farragut and his staff escorted - them to the frigate Franklin, when they were transferred to the New York side. The party then proceeded in carriages through Broadway to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The streets were lined with people and decorated with flags. Delegates from the political clubs and many of the most conspicuous citizens waited that evening on the President. Ho said little in reply to the Address of Welcome presented, but it is thought he will speak more fully on his return. He has decided on visiting Rhode Island and Connecticut on his way back to Washington. It appears that the party did not stop at Phila .. delphia, as Mr. Johnson was opposed to such an arrangement. Ile was loudly cheered at Annapolis, Baltimore, Wilmington, and other towns. A pardon was issued to ex-rebel General Long street on the 20th ult. Among the names appended to the application were those of General Grant and other officers of the army, many Senators and Representatives, some of whom were also personal applicants to the President for the pardon. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln has gone to Racine, Wis consin, to reside. We note with pleasure that Mr. Beckwith, Presi dent of the United States Committee at tho Exhibition, has been appointed an officer of the Legion of Honour. Messrs. Charles Perkins, Lawrence, Smith, Samuel B. Ruggle, Godwin, Berney, Elias Howe, Kennedy, Mulat, and Clickering have been nominated knights of the same order. It is stated that the Emperor of Russia, at the the solicitation of the Empress Eugenie, interceded for the Emperor Maximilian, through the Russian Minister at Washington. Mr. A. T. Stewart has presented $lO,OOO to Wil. Liam and Mary College, Virginia. Edward Roe and Theodore Boag fought a duel in Charleston on Wednesday, 19th June. Roe was fatally wounded, Boag escaped unhurt. Pistols were the wea pons, and the paces twelve. Boag has been indicted for "felonious homicide. General Lopez who betrayed Maximilian will be degraded from the Legion of honour. General Sickles, of the Department of the Caro linas, has been so much incensed by the comments on his course in the Attorney-General's last opinion that he has forwarded to Washington a request to bo relieved from duty, and has demanded a court of inquiry. We learn by a late telegram—" The Cork police have at last arrested on board an outward-bound American steamer General Halpin, the military commander of the Dublin district Fenians, who was prominently referred to during the late trials, and who was to have taken the command at Tallaght. KOssuth is uow at Aix-lea-Bains, in Savoy. Last week three Irish Americans—Kelly, Mo riarty, and O'Herity—who have been some time in prison under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, were put on board a steamer at Cork for New York in custody of the police. Kelly was a general in the United States army. The United States screw steam sloop Macedonian, 20, from New York, is hourly expected at Plymouth, whence she will proceed to Spithead. After attending the naval review the Macedonia will go to Havre in order that her cadets, of whom she has a considerable number, may visit the Exhibition in Paris. The Standard's New York Correspondent states that Mr. Horace Greeley, A. Brisbane, and a dozen other persons not yet well known to fame, have signed a call for a "Social Science Congress," to moot in this city July 4. The Congress will discuss the practicability of founding a school of social science, of "establishing a centre for the school," of "deciding what fundamental principles of the science have already been discovered," of demonstrating the paramount importance of a " positive social science," of "clearing up conflicting theories," and showing that socialism is but the precursor of a positive social science, and of determining the best changes in the existing social order. The "friends of the science in Europe" are invited to hold a similar convention. Mr. Greeley, who is an ad mirer of socialism as practised by the Oneida community will probably advance the theories of Noyes, and the other fathers of the Oneida free-lovers. AN AMERICAN'S EVIDENCE ON TRADES' UNIONS. Mr. Abram S. Hewitt, a largo iron manufacturer o, Pennsylvania and Now York, gave evidence before the Royal Commission on Trades' Unions on the working of unions in America. No doubt the Commission was glad to obtain such reliable testimony on a subject which bore on the matter they had in hand. The manufacturers of America are, for the most part, supplied with British and G erma n labour, therefore the Commission in London was able, through Mr. Hewitt, to ascertain how the Unions known to be organised in America worked, and what de gree of similarity existing between them and those of Great Britain. Mr. Hewitt began by stating that he was either partner or manager in various establishments em ploying, in the aggregate, 4,000 workmen. These works ar e situated in the States of New York, Now Jersey, and Pennsylvania. After describing the branch performed by the puddlers with reference to the heating and rolling de partments, Mr. Hewitt showed that the puddlers had en rolled themselves into a union which had no reference to the men of the other branches, although . all engaged in the same manufactures, any one being a necessity of the two others. The great centre of the iron manufacture is at Pittsburgh, extending up to Cleveland ; and there the puddlers have been on the strike for the last six months. The conseluence is that ncta furnace has been lit, and the heaters and rollers have been thrown out of employment by the action of the puddlers. From Mr. Hewitt's evi dence it appears that at the time of the "Strike," that though ironmasters were not earning anything, the puddlers took that occasion to demand an increase of wages frCnn $7 per ton to $9, estimated, at an average of the price of gold, at from 21s. to 275. As the business was at the time absolutely unprofitable, the manufacturers would not con cede the demand. Therefore the puddlers struck, and each puddler throw out of employment five other men. Mr. Hewitt considers that these five men were constrained by the action of the puddlers to unwilling idleness. He estimates the rate of wages, against which they struck in Pittsburgh, to be in the ratio of what the puddlers get in Staffordshire, as Bs. 6d. is to 21s. 6d. Some puddlers came into Pittsburgh, and offered to work one mill, but were driven away, two or throe murders taking place in the night having an effect very deterrent on out siders entering Pittsburgh again. " Murders! " ex claimed the chairman (Sir William Earle), "of whom, by whom ?" "This is just the point," replied the witness, "on which lam unable to answer. Three or four were committed in the night, and the general impression was that they were connected with the strike. The state of things in Pittsburgh was very bad, and the moral tone had im mensely deteriorated in every respect, for although the strike was of the puddlers alone, as already explained, it affected a large number besides. Although by the laws of the United States fine or imprisonment is inflicted for intimidation of workmen, yet where laws cannot be carried into effect it matters little what may be their purport. Mr. Hewitt related a circumstance connected with a strike at the iron mines of New Jersey which occurred just before he left America. Without notice, and apparently without concert, the action begin ning with one mine tho workmen suddenly stopped. Having cleared out of their own mine they marched to the next, which happened to belong to Mr. Hewitt, and directed the hands to desist from work, as they had inaugu rated a strike. The owner, in relating the story, and pro fessing to know the circumstances well, stated that his workmen obeyed from fear. They then marched to the adjacent mines, eighteen or nineteen in number, and in forty-eight hours they succeeded, without using violence, in stopping the whole work of the area. Finding some some teams carting ore to the canal they took the horses out of the waggons, and informed the drivers that they would be punished if they put them in again. Fortunately for the manufacturers large supplies of ore lay on the banks of the canal. The boats were loaded and the ore sent on to the furnaces. The miners then came down, and after compelling the boat men to leave, they thought the surest plan would be to fill up the canal with the ore on the banks. The Canal Company promptly cleared their canal, and the ironmasters having obtained from the Government a military force to protect the boatmen, the miners found that the furnaces were likely to be supplied for three or four months, and therefore returned to work. The conclusions formed by Mr. Hewitt after reading the evidence given before the Royal Commission on the action of Trades' Unions in Great Britain are that there is a strong analogy. He believes those of Great Britain to be more perfect, and to have arrived at a more complete development than their kindred institutions in America. His evidence goes to show that the worst features of the English unions are developed in his own country, and we may well believe this when his evidence on the nationalities of the workmen is considered. The people who carried out the little game in New Jersey were, 19 out of 20, Irishmen. Irishmen never arrive in America as trained puddlers. He is a helper that the pud dler hires, who, in process of time, becomes a puddler him self, though, as a general rule, not a good one. About one-half, or possibly two-thirds of these helpers rise to bo puddlers, and as the helpers are almost invariably Irish a considerable number of the puddlers have thus become Irish also. An American is seldom found in these works. They are mostly team drivers or the managers of the boats on the canal, directing or driving something, while the others are directed. The Englishmen goes commonly with the Americans, getting to be something better than a day labourer. Lord Elcho put the question, "Do you include Scotchmen in the word Englishmen ?" "As to Scotchmen," replied Mr. _ _ Hewitt, " we are very careful not to let them enter the works, for this reason, that we do not know how soon a Scotchman will become the proprietor. We are rather afraid of Scotehmen." When questioned further the wit ness stated that the Scotchman's facility for doing his work has no superior in America, and no one ever there saw a Scotch beggar. I have seen Scotch drunkards," he added, " but no beggars." Lord Elcho, by way, we pre sume, of "taking a rise" out of him, said, " That is a habit which they have acquired in America, I sup pose ?" (Rather good that for a country known to consume more ardent spirits than any other). " No," answered Mr. Hewitt, "they generally bring it with them. Our people are, as a rule, temperate people, and the bad habits they have acquired are invariably got rid of at an early period." Here Mr. Roebuck put in his oar—" Then, generally speaking, the Aluerican citizen is a sober man ?" —" Generally speaking, and I can say that there has been a great improvement in thy period, which I can remember. Tho habit of intemperance among the artisans was very much greater in America twenty years ago than now, and I think we may say distinctly that there has been a gene ral improvement in the moral tone of the working classes in America within the last twenty years." The Chairman—" In the present state of American society is the lowest stratum of labour confined to Irish, and Germans?"—"As a general rule." The Chairman—" There is no American labour in the lower stratum of labour ?"—" A very small proportion in deed in the lower stratum, and if an American wants to labour with his hands, or in an occupation not requiring mechanical skill, he takes to the land as a general rule, or farm, and hence the farms in the United States are to a great extent in the hands of Americans."
