HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. 21118 DAY. —Morning, 6h. 40m.—Afternoon, 7h. 3m To-MORROW:Morning, 7h. 30m.—Afternoon, Bh. Om. cl. j:i4:L‘ • it LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 8, 18G7. It is always an advantage for themselves and others when those who are distinguished for their attainments, and are also mixed up in the strife of the political world, can turn aside for a brief instant from the more engrossing occupations of their lives to turn their thoughts and direct the attention of their hearers to more refined and ele vated subjects. Thus Mr. GLADSTONE'S speech on mental culture, which he delivered on Saturday afternoon at the College Buildings in Long-acre, was a welcome change to his discourses at St. Stephen's, and at other places where the ques tions of the day are ever on the tapis. This was the first meeting of the institution, which has been establidicd for the purpose of promoting adult education" through the agency of evening classes. 'i h.., Rev. W. Hum pann - , the vicar of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, took the chair, and many young persons of both sexes appeared to m ituess the proceedings. Mr. GLADSTONE'S speech was much to the purpose, and he fully explained the purport of the Society, at the same time testifying to its excellence, and referring to the necessity of its establishment. The right hon. gentleman commenced by saying that hecould not really do much in the way of introduction, as lie could do but little to serve the community in which he lived by personal action. Such an apology was not necessary, for all who are at all acquainted with public matters and political characters must know the truth of the remark here met with, that" we had an exciting, an absorbing, and an exhausting life, and that we have but a very small residuum of time and of strength at our com mand for the discharge of any other than what are equality in one respect--masters and men were treated alike if they infringed upon the regu lations. Workshops were blown up with complete impartiality, whether the offender were employer or employed. The degree of demoralisation revealed by the evidence given be fore the Commission is something wonderful. Sometimes, indeed, the offenders express a lofty regret at the inevitable consequences of their own crimes. RENSHAW was " grieved" to see the suffer ing of the poor old woman whom he helped to carry out of the ruins of the house he bad blown up. PEARCE took credit to himself for his reluctance in falling into BROADHEAD'S plans and hiring a murderer to shoot an unoffending neighbour. But these were rather the exceptions to the rule. For the most part the witnesses either did not think it worth while to affect compunction for what they had done, or did not see that their acts were in any way censurable. Systematic perjury was one of the things that did nut come under their ban. One of the witnesses examined on Saturday admitted that he had walked over to a neighbouring town with two other men to blow up two workshops for a sum of money. The three men were tried at York and set up an alibi in defence, which was sup ported by 15 or 16 witnesses. In fact there seems to be no hold upon these men. The ordi nary fears and hopes and feelings of men are powerless over the votaries of Trades' Unions. The terrors of the law have little or no weight, since the terrors of the Union are greater. There is no hope of escape from the vengeance of an offended secretary—there is great hope of eluding a negli gent or indifferent police. The ambition which is usually so powerful an incentive in all ranks—the hope to get on, " to make his way in the world," to get credit in his trade, or to put by money—is denied to a man who is pledged, whatever his abili ties, to live and die at the same dead level of medi ocrity. The still stronger feeling which makes a father anxious to provide for his boys, and give them a start in life—the common desire that a son should be brought up to his father's business—is put completely aside by societies which interfere with all such domestic plans and purposes, which limit the number of apprentices, and in some instances forbid the employment of boys at all. The kindly feeling existing between master and man, the good will and friendliness produced by constant associa tion between fellow-workmen, can have little in fluence over a man who may be called upon to put a can of gunpowder down his master's chimney to morrow, or to listen quietly while a mate's name is put down in the black book. We are a good deal be hind the age with our old-fashioned notions of loyalty and friendship between man and man. The Sheffield philosophers have left the rest of the world far behind them, and have set themselves free from such trammels. They do not aim even at the thieves' honour of not betraying a common secret or incriminating a companion, since it was fear of the personal consequences that tied their tongues hitherto, and when immunity from the consequences was secured the revelations came fast enough. But while society with one voice is condemning the atrocities of these men it may be asked whether the blame must rest exclusively with them ? There must have been long and grievous neglect of the manufacturing towns to have allowed a generation to grow up so entirely devoid of common morality. Education will not infallibly make a boy into a good man, but it gives him a fair chance of beinr , so. It lifts him above degradation, it protects him against the influences of men like BROADHEAD and PEACE, by giving him a standard to judge them by, by making him sensitive to the opi nion of other and better men. If the moral and religious training of the boys at Sheffield had been years ago cared far as it should have been, we should not find those boys grown men, breaking every law of GOD and man with in difference and impunity. More than 20 years ago the author of " Sybil, or the Two Nations" painted in vivid colours the ignorance of the working men and boys in some manufacturing towns. The descrip tion of the file cutters of Wodgate tallies too well with the accounts we have lately heard from actual places, and a bitterprice has been paid, and will be paid for the long neglect. The task, like all tasks left undone, has grown in difficulty. The men, un taught in childhood themselves, will not send their boys to school. The demands of labour are in creasing ; young hands are wanted at the factories, and boys of manufacturing towns can earn as much as an agricultural ;labourer. How can we expect ignorant men to resist the temptation ? The boy is put to work and kept to work, often in defiance of the regulations, and the evil goes on perpetuating itself. The social philosopher in " Sybil," turning away with disgust from the dismal picture or human life, exclaims, " Could not one missionary be spared from Tahiti for our fellow countrymen in Wodgate !" Twenty years ago many of the men whose names are now held up to public odium might have been still capable of en lightenment, still accessible to good influences. In twenty years the untaught, uncared for children of oar labouring population will be men and women playing their parts in life. Should we not take the hint and profit by the warning ? It will afford general satisfaction to all classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects to learn that the Princess of Wales has at last appeared in public. The sym pathy which has been felt for her in her long and trying illness has found expression in part by the enthusiasm with which her appearance was wel coined. It must have been gratifying to the Princess and also to her illustrious consort who accompanied her. Most appropriately with her Royal High ness's first appearance was the laying of the foun dation-stone of the Alexandra Orphanage for Infants at Hornsey-rise. This duty,whichwayst, at herohave been performed by the Princess herself, as Duchess Sutherland. re- r A eq f t u e e r s t t h , e discharged add ress h a b d y b t l e i c o n ll r u e c a n d e Duchess h o o f turned a short but impressive reply, which grati fied the a ssem bl y, and a bl y represen t e d the feel ings of those present. In alluding to the sad cause which prevented her Royal Highness from coming among them, she added that the attachment and admiration felt for her Royal Highness " had been increased tenfold by the courage and cheerful brighthess with which she has borne so long the suffering and illness from which by the blessing of God she has now so nearly recovered." Lord G RAN v 1 1.1. E made an appropriate speech, setting forth the merits of the institution, and expressed :hope that when it was erected on its in tgnificent site, overlook ing one of the richest cities of the world, " the in stitution might fulfil the expectation of its friends." It is, indeed, to be trusted that these words are prophetic, for it is a charity that appeals to every one who takes an interest in the works of benevo lence, and no one can deny the claims of the help , less beings who are to enjoy its benefits. The long-looked-for visit of the Viceroy of EGYPT to this country has at last arrived, and his Higlineas was received on Saturday with all due pomp and ceremony. In addition to the interest naturally felt on the occasion of so are a visit there has been some additional excitement in the public mind, in consequence of a fear that suffi cient consideration might not be s' own to the called our public duties." Notwithstandi ng this ob servation, Mr. GLADSTONE contrived to get through his task with considerable success, and to prove in an unmistakeable manner that much may be done, and that something should be done, by all who set them selves diligently to work to improve their minds, and prepare themselves for the due performance of their duties. Goodwill and earnestness of aim seem to be the distinguishing features of this institution, and much may be hoped from such attributes, for, as Mr. GLADSTONE said, it is cheering and encouraging thus to make these signs so favourable to the full development of the scheme. Beyond all other tokens, however, must be ranked the encourage ient given by those who come forward to re ceiva instruction when they are required by other labours, and thus give to the under taking those " odds and ends" of time, which are all they can spare, and yet which may be turned to good account by sedulous care and scrupulous devotion. Hereupon the right hon. gentleman pointed out a most useful moral to his young hearers; he said that " this saving of odds and ends of time was appa rently a very humble act, but it was an act which no man should neglect." A story given in illustra tion was very applicable. A young Frenchman, called LAFITTE once sought employment from a banker in Paris, but that person informed him that he could not grant his request because there was no vacancy in his establishment. In turning away sadly the youth's eyes were cast down, and he saw a pin on the floor which he carefully picked up. The banker was so struck by this symptom of care fulness that he gave him the desired employment, and the bank which bore LAFITTE'S OWD name is still in Paris, and was long one of its most im portant ones. " The picking up of that pin," said Mr. GLADSTONE, " is not unlike the saving of those stray moments which we all have at our disposal," and it would be well if others besides those imme diately concerned would lay the lesson to heart, and make the most of their opportu nities. It is really surprising to find how much may be done by the right application of time and the employment of spare moments, and, as the right hon gentleman said in this discourse, is the most hopeful symptom among any class ; for even as if you look after the pence the pounds will look after themselves, so if you look after the moments, the days, and months, and years will take care of themselves. The present condition of society is truly an anxi ous one, and, what with the rapid increase of wealth and the part the labouring man has in the profits of his toil, it demands increased attention alike from the politician, the philosopher, and the social student. Referring to our labouring man, Mr. GLADSTONE said that he included in that designation all who worked with the pen or the head, supposing them to be subsistent upon their work for their labour, just as he would the skilled mechanic and artisan ; and, as he said, one of the greatest advantages ac cruing from the prosperity of the country of late years has been that the labouring classes, in the actual acceptation of the term, have been better remunerated than was possible twenty or thirty years ago. The danger that now obtrudes itself upon our notice was ably pointed out in this speech : it is that many are not satisfied with the enjoyments their means confer, but live beyond their actual allowance, and, as it is truly put, " the great object of consideration I is not what the condition of each may be, but that each man may be master of his own condition." To obtain this desideratum the object of each should be to improve his own mind, because all knowledge has two ends—first, by the value of its acquirements ; and next by the benefits its acquire ments confer upon the mind as an instrument of culture, strengthening, enlarging, and enlighten ing his mind, and thus raising him in other circumstances, and also in character, and the development of those faculties the posses sion of which has caused him to be made in the I image of GOD. Mr. GLADSTONE concluded his im pressive address in eloquent terms, wishing to each present that in the day of prosperity or of adversity they might reap the' rich fruits which honest, dili gent mental labour never failed to produce." Those fruits might come sooner or l a t er , as the case may be. "It has pleased GOD to endow some men with faculties that wow rapidly, and it has pleased Him to _tidow others with faculties that unfold themselves slowly ; but depend upon it, there is not a man, except in a few rare and excep tional cases, to whom, whatever may be the differ ence of his talents and endowments, a sufficient store has not been given, if he will only use it rightly, to enable him to live for the benefit of him self and of his fellow-creatures, and for the honour and glory of GOD." He then distributed the prizes, and it may safely be said that this first meeting for the distribution of prizes at St. Martin's Hall was successful, and likely to be long remembered by those whom it intimately concerned, while the pro ceedings are of interest to the community. The examinations of the Sheffield Trades' Union Commission were brought to a close on Saturday. To-day it is to resume its sittings for the purpose of granting certificates to witnesses who have crimi nated themselves. No doubt this part of the pro ceedings will excite a good deal of curiosity, as each witness is to be informed in open court whether or no he is held to be entitled to a certificate. The notorious BROADIIEAD, CROOKES, and their asso ciates will of course be present, and will probably go away scatheless so far as legal punishment is concerned. The real ends of justice, have, however, been better attained by granting these criminals the desired indemnity, be cause by that means the Commissioners were enabled to obtain full revelations of a state of things which otherwise would hardly have been credited. Unless BROADHEAD and his allies are very differently constituted from most other men they will not be altogether free from punishment. Their occupa tion's gone. Their ill-got gains and ill-employed power and influence have come to an end, and all they have left is the contempt of their fellows and the disgust and horror of all respectable men. So far as the examinations aro concerned the work of the Commissioners is done. No further cases of violence or intimi dation retn.(in to be inquired into, and the solicitors who attended the court on behalf of masters and men had no more charges to bring forward. The facts IN hieli have been brought to light in the course of the examinations arc among the most remarkable ever elicited in any court. They have disclosed the existence of an organised system of assassination and outrage in an English town,eame feelingsstippos an edt d o be governed by the same laws, rotected by the sam e f or ce, and influenced by the principles as the rest of the body politic. It is quite plain that in Sheffield, in spite o unn f flspitecapitalsupeiat ec :o ofof n punishment ord ordinary religionary and transportation for life, judges and magistrate s an d police force, andi humanity,ed u education, a i o u tl et , tihne dictatesspit eof o the f every man's conscience, neither life nor property h m a i v s f e o b r t e u e n n e for many e nda yearsl,rsaadf es' u a n r i e o s n i d . e n had T t ie h acci dentste of birth or position made no difference. The Unionists at least carried out their principles of THE SUN LO.NDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1867. ruler of Egypt. The Arabs are so famous for their hospitality, as, indeed, are almost all Eastern nations, that it would have been deeply mortifying to the English people had there been anything lacking in his reception, more especially after his courteous hospitality towards our own Heir Apparent. Happily all risk of this has been avoided, and we trust that nothing will occur to mar the splendour and the satisfaction of his Highness's visit. He will see much to interest him in the Western World, and we hope that this new and interesting visit will tend to draw closer the ties of amity between this country and her illus trious visitor. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The official confirmation of the news of the exe cution of the Emperor Maximilian has produced the utmost horror and indignation in Paris. Even before the official account came the Emperor had ordered Court mourning for a month, fifteen days of full mourning, and fifteen days of half mourning. The Sultan, on learning the news, requested the Em peror to countermand the fetes iu preparation to do honour to him. An intimation having been made to the Chambers a brief but energetic manifestation was made. In the Senate the President said—" At one of our previous sittings the interest attached to every noble cause led to expressions of hope in favour of the Emperor Maximilian. We were mistaken, and now we have to express our sentiments o f grief. (Sensation.) A horrible crime has been committed, contrary to the laws of war, the laws of nations and humanity_(, Very right," from all parts of the Chamber)—Maximilian, who was only vanquished, treason and barbarity have made a victim. They who have immolated this sincere and loyal Prince, in favour of whom such imposing manifestations were made by those who came to Miramon to invite him to occupy the vacant throne—those men, if they merit the name, do not represent either the cause of the people or any form of government. (Very good.) It is a mili tary anarchy intoxicated with one day of cowardly and odious success—(st rong and renewed approba tion)—which destroy s i ts enemy before destroying itself. (Very right.) F or do not doubt it, gentle men, the blood of M ax i m i lian will recoil over those who have shed it. (" Yes, yes" from all parts.) Inflexible justice will have it so. The blood of this innocent Prince will do more harm to the authors of his death than his victory over them would have done. Let us protest against this abominable outrage against the civilisation of our epoch, and let us attach our selves still more strongly to the generous and liberal principles which made us believe such a crime impossible." (This denunciation was received with prolonged applause, and made a deep impression upon the Senate.) M. Adolphe Barrot—And the infamous traitor (Lopez) is an officer of the Legion of Honour. What measures will be adopted respecting him ? Will the emblem of honour be left upon his breast? The President —That is within the competence of the Council of the Order, who will not fail to occupy itself with the point. Count de Flamarens—.The name of the traitor has become synonymous with that of Judas. Marshal Bazaine—lle will be degraded and dis possessed of the right to wear the order. Viscount de La Gueroniere—The public conscience demands this degradation. Baron du Ladoucette—Th e Council of the Legion of Honour will take up the matter. The sensation created by this manifestation was so intense that public business was suspended for some minutes. In the Legislative Body, the President said : " Gentlemen,—Only yesterday nobody would be lieve that the Emporor Maximilian had fallen a vic tim to an odious critne. To-day it is too true that we know the crime has been consummated. The grievous news has now been made known with an expression of sentiments with which all France will agree. (From all parts--" Yes, yes ; very right.") But your President feels it his duty to pro claim openly before the Legislative Body the repro bation inspired by such an act against honour and civilisation." (Loud and long approbation.) But few details have yet been received in Paris respecting the execution. Maximilian was in a posi tion at Queretaro, which was thought to be im pregnable. Even in case of reverse he could have returned by the mountains to the sea. But he did not expect treason. A man of the name of Lopez (says the account received by the French Govern ineut), in whom Maximilian placed great confidence, obviously delivered up the Emperor while he was asleep for a sum of money. The 211onittur nays—" The assassination of the Emperor Maximilian will create one u n i versa l sen timent of horror. Thisinfamous act, ordered by Juarez, will stamp upon the forehead of the men who call themselves representatives of the Mexican Republic, a brand which can never be effaced. The reprobation of all civilised nations will be the first chastisement of a Government which has such a chief at its head." The Bing of Prussia immediately, upon hearing the news of the death of Maximilian, sent an auto graph letter of condolence to the Emperor of Austria. His Majesty has ordered a Court mourn- • ing of four weeks. King William has left Berlin • for Ems. The Court of Italy has ordered mourning for 20 I . days, and th e C our t of Portugal fo r 30 d ays. The subjoined interesting particular s o f the trea son are suppli e d f ro m Queretaro :—" It was gener ally kn own a t Q uere t a ro that th ere were many persons among the Imperialists in th e camp who I were ready to deliver up the town, but no one had an idea that this would be done by the Colonel of the Regiment of the Empress, the keeper of the keys of Queretaro, the Commandant of the fort—Miguel Lopez. This was the man who, during the evening of the 14th of May, sent a letter to Esco bedo, offering to betray his companions in arms for 3,000 ounces of gold. Escobedo accepted the offer. Towards midnight the advanced guard of the enemy, favoured by darkness, left their camp and arrived without noise at the convent. Colonel Lopez ordered his men to lay down their arms and opened the gates to the enemy. At that time Maxi milian was asleep in another part of the convent, for he had entire confidence in Lopez. At break of day Maximilian was on foot, and he soon became aware that something extraordinary had happened. He woke up the prince Salm Salm, his aide-dc-camp, and proceeded toward s t h e external walls of the had only m arc h e d a convent ; but they few paces when a detachment o f soldiers, led by R i ncon Gallardo, surrounded them. Lopez accompanied this detachment, an pointed out the Prince to his enemies, saying, in a rough voice, That is he ; seize him Here a remarkable incident occurred. Colonel Gallardo, a brave soldier, who did not like the treason of Lope z went up to Maximilian and said, You arc) a pri va t e i nd i v id ua l, an d no t a soldier. We have to thi ug to say to you. L eave. ' On saying these wo r d s h e pushed the Prince out of the convent. Maximilk.n proceeded as quickly as possible toward s th e C erro de la Campana at t h e other extremity o f th e town. The imps ial officeis and soldiers, who h a d not been captured fleain. con fusion, pursued by th e enemy ' s cava l ry. General i Corona, who is ever prompt in his movements, enabled the greater part of the Juarist army to enter first into the convent and then into the town. lie thus took up a.ll the Imperialist positions, the defenders of which threw down their arms, crying Viva la Liberia. Miramon, however, was not dis posed to submit so easily, He rallied a portion of the Regiment of the Empress whom he met in the street of the Capuchi nas, the broadest stree t o f th e town, and made head a ga i nst hi s assa il an t s . Mi ram on was hit by a ball just u n d er h i s eye, w hi c h nearly deprived him of sight. During this time Maximilian had reached the Cerro de la Campana, a fortified hill, which commands tk e nort h ern par t o f the town. lie had been joined b y G enerals M e ji a, C as till o , and Avellano, the Prince de Salm-Salm, and several other officers. The Cerro was surrounded by the enemy's troops, and resistance being utterly impos sible the white flag was hoisted, and the Emperor Maximilian, with all his staff, surrendered to Gen. Corona. A few hours afterwards they were marched to the convent of La Cruz." A strange and fatal coincidence is worth notice in 'elation to Mexico. The Emperor Iturbide, once supposed to be beloved by his subjects, but after wards accused of treason, was executed on July 19, 1824. Forty-three years afterwards, on the 19th of June, 1867, the same date of the month, a se cond Emperor of Mexico suffered the same fate. Just before he was shot lturbide said to the crowd, " Mexicans, at the moment when I am about to die, I recommend to you to love your country. I die for having come here to aid you." Iturbide was once called the Liberator. In 1838 there was another change in the spirit of the Mexican people. At the demand of General Bustamente, - the remains of Iturbide were brought to Mexico with great pomp in that year, 1838, and interned in the cathedral, and with the honours befiiting a hero and a patriot. The Chambre des Mises en Accusation has sent the case of Berezoth , :ie to be tried before the Court of Assize of La Seine.

The Pro cureur-General, M. de Mamas, will conduct the prosecution. A pleasure train from Marseilles has brought 850 visitors to the Exhibition.

It is with sincere grief that we find ourselves called upon to announce the sad bereavement which has befallen Mr. Howard, of Corby, in the pre mature death of his amiable and accomplished daughter. The name of Howard is a household word among us, symbolizing all that is noble and devoted, and, if there be any consolation under such an affliction, it is certainly to be found in the thought that she has, in some sort, fallen a sacrifice to the noble de votion which has led the most zealous children of the Holy See to join in the demonstration which the present ceremonies in the Eternal City afford of the undiminished vigour of the Church of the nine teenth century ; and that, at the cost of enduring the risks of an insalubrious season in a sultry cli mate, in addition to encountering the chances of outbreaks of war and pestilence. There is no doubt the splendid and unique func tions of Rome possess a continual and undying at. traction for persons of every nation and every per suasion, but the dangers and inconveniences (and, to the self-indulgence of our day, inconveniences rank scarcely second to dangers) which surround them in the month of June, are such! as to repel most northerners who have not a special call to attend in their capacity of members of the hierarchy. Balls, concerts, hunting, parties of pleasure, all the various forms of worldly gaiety, and all the amenities of the greatest earthly per fection of weather moreover, join their attractions to those of the Church's celebration of Christmas and Easter, while the present festivities have a purely religious significance. In this spirit of devotion Mr. Howard and his daughter went to Rome a few weeks ago in order to be present at the Centenary of St. Peter. God, in His inscrutable wisdom, saw fit to accept their tribute in different ways. While he is left to wit ness the triumph of the Church militant she has been taken to join in the prevailing contest of the interceding hosts above. The young lady whose untimely end we are to day summoned to mourn was Mary Frances —or, as her friends loved to call her, Mafra—eldest daughter of Mr. Philip henry Howard, of Corby Castle, Cumberland, and Eliza Minto Howard, née Minto Canning, of Foxcote, Warwickshire. She had but just completed her twentieth year, and, added to the interest which always attaches to youth and beauty, her virtues and piety had spe cially endeared her to her numerous family, and to a large circle of acquaintance, by whom the blank caused by her loss will long be felt, while the poor of her neighbourhood at home will no less lament the deprivation of her gentle charity. The illness to which she has so early fallen a vic tim was a virulent form of typhoid fever, which took but a few days to complete its deadly work. Pre pared by the consoling rites of the Church, her in nocent soul passed into the hands of her Creator on the evening of St. John the Baptist's day. The body was carried to the parish church of Sta. Maria del P o p o l o , according to established custom, on the night of Tuesday, the 25th inst., at tended by a long procession of frati. The solemn obsequies were celebrated next morning —Matins of the Dead at 8.30, followed by a Requiem Mass, at which assisted the Right Rev. Dr. Strain, Bishop of Edinburgh ; the Rev. F. Neve, D.D., Rector, and the Rev. W. Giles, D.D., Vice-Principal of the English College, Rome ; the Hon. and Rev. Mgr. Edmund Stonor, Mgr. Howard, the Hon. and Rev. John French, S.J., M, l'Abb6 Toursel, of the French Chapel, London ; the Rev. William Wheeler, Rev. R. Belau, &c., &c. Letters of condolence were received from the Archbishop of Westminster and the other English prelates now in Rome, regretting they were com pelled to attend the Consistory, by order of the Holy Father, at the same hour. Mgr. Talbot was in attendance on his Holiness. Prince and Princess Massimo, Principe d'Arsoli, Principe Giustiniani Bandini, Marchese and Mar chesa Eugenia Serlupi, Marchesa Spinola, Lieut.- Col. and Mrs. Forbes, Professor Valery, Mrs. Van sittart, Mr. Hugh Chorneley, Mrs. Stone, Mr. and Mrs. Pierce Netterville, Mr. and the Misses Robin. son, Miss Simpkinson, Mr. Fletcher Mr. Redmond, Capt. d'Arcy, and a number of sympathizing friends were also present. Mr. Palmer was confined to the house by an attack of gout, or would have attended. Among those in England on whom this sudden grief will fall most heavily are Mr. Howard's two younger daughters, now at a convent school in the north of England, and his son, a fine and promis ing youth, pursuing his studies at the old English college of Stonyhurst, who will probably hardly have had reason to think their sister's indisposition serious till they received the announcement of its fatal termination. Indeed, one of the most touching incidents of this melancholy event is, that a letter from young Mr. Philip Howard was on its way out to his sister, expressing his interest in the glorious scene in which she was expecting to take part, and his affectionate solicitude lest she should have felt any touch of the Roman fever, at the very time when she had already succumbed to its influence ! It is impossible to repress a sigh of human sor row at seeing cut short a career so full of promise, the enjoyment of an honoured lineage, a loving kindred, every augury of a bright and useful future, amid all we are prone to prize ; yet, who would not envy the peaceful passing of the bright, untroubled spirit still unspotted by the world, on the very threshold of the earthly shrine of religious truth, and amid the waving censers of its brightest cele bration.---IVestininster Gazette.

The following communication from the Emperor Maximilian to Minister Lares is published in the New York journals : " Mexico, Feb. 9. " My dear Minister Don Teodosio Lares—The actual situation of Mexico deeply affects me. Every plan that has been adopted with a view to end our civil war only makes it rage the more ; and every where that an attempt is made to consolidate our empire: torrents of blood are poured out without obtaining the least advantage therefrom. It was hoped that when the empire got rid of the French intervention, our course of action would be felt in a salutary manner in favour of the peace and well being of the whole people. Unfortunately the con trary has taken place, and the ever-lamentable de feats of San Jacinto and Monte de las Cruces, instead of serving to undeceive us, fix indelibly two of the bitterest recollections of the empire. " Great advantages were promised to result from the experience, tact, loyalty, and prestige of Gene rals Mejia, Miramon, and Marquez. The first has left the service under the pretext that his health is bad ; the second has in his first battle wasted, al most without fighting, all the resources placed at his command; and the last, after having committed extortions, accompanied by the most violent mea sures, upon all the industrious and peaceable classes of the people, got up an expedition that was ill planned, and the bloody results of which will never be sufficiently well weighed. " Meanwhile, as the Treasury is empty, it becomes necessary to raise forced loans so as to carry ou cer tain branches of the public administration. These forced loans become impracticable, even when ap pealing to vexatious processes and to decrees levy ing extraordinary taxes. These latter become more odious than productive. 4, O n the other hand, the Republican forces, which were wrongly represented as disorganised, demoralised, and kept up solely by the hope of pillage, convince people by their conduct that they form a homogeneous army, Whose stimulus is the courage and perseverance of one chief, who are ani mated with the grand idea that they are defending their national independence, Which they believe to be placed in jeopardy by the establishment of our empire. In so critical a situation of affairs the re course to popular suffrage can no longer avail, be cause it would result in nothing but a vote from the few inhabitants in places occupied by the imperial arms. The opportunity for such an appeal has passed, and we must now give it up altogether. " I have contracted a solemn engagement with Mexico, to the effect that I shall never be the occa sion of spilling any more blood. The honour of my name, and the immense responsibility that weighs upon my conscience, both in the presence of God and of history, have fixed my resolution not to de lay bringing evils so great to a stop at once. Hence, then, I await, with the anxiety called for in this' case, your advice as to the measures that you may deem opportune, so as to settle the existing crisis in harmony with the ideas which I set forth in this letter, and you must look solely to the welfare and prosperity of the Mexican people, leaving entirely out of the question all interest both of a political and personal nature.—l remain, yours, `` MAXIMILIAN." ,IVERPOOL COTTON M4RKE7—This Day. lt,ir ket unchanged. 10,000 bales.

Company, with a silver plate bearing the following inscription :—" This mallet, made from a piece of the oak of the roof formerly over the Guildhall of the City of London, was presented to the Worshipful Company of Butchers, by Mr. Deputy Banister, C.C., Past Master of this Company, and Deputy Master for the last fourteen yoars.—July 4, 1867." LAW OF STRIKES.—In Scotland the law affecting strikes is being put in force with rigour. A Scotch sheriff has sentenced two members of an amalgamated shoemakers' society to seven days' imprisonment for molesting and ob structing a non -society man "by intimating to his em ployers that unless ho contributed to the fund he must be dismissed, otherwise the rest of the workmen, members of an association, would leave their employment." The pro curator fiscal prosecuted, and the prosecution took place under the 6th Geo. IV., c. 127 (An Act to Repeal the Com bination Laws). This is ono of the benefits resulting from the existence of a public prosecutor.—Law Times. _~ ~-~-. e a 77 ' Tuntot -L : k Cu Tat HER MAJESTY, &c. WINDSOR CASTLE, July 7.

Orders for the Court's going into mourning to morrow, the 7th inst., for his late Majesty the Emperor of Mexico, viz. : The ladies to wear black silk, fringed or plain linen, white gloves, necklaces and earrings, black or white shoes, fans, and tippets. The gentlemen to wear black, full-trimmed, fringed or plain linen, black swords, and buckles. The Court to change the mourning on Sunday, the 21st inst. ; and on Sunday, the 28th inst., the Court to go out of mourning. Ernst Schulz at the Egyptian Hall. Owing to the unprecedented success that has attended the entertainment of Herr Schulz, it is proposed to continue the representation of " Masks and Faces " some weeks beyond the time originally fixed upon for the termination of his performance in London. This style of entertain ment is at once so novel and exceedingly clever that the success that has attended it during the entire period it has been given is by no means a surprise to those who have had the pleasure of witnessing it, as nothing more animated can be conceived than the living pictures of the different species of humanity submitted to the audience by Herr Schulz. In the four parts into which the entertainment is divided, viz., Hu morous Sketches of the Varieties of Mankind, Physiology of the Beard, My Portrait Album, and Types of Races and Nationality—the changes of countenance exhibited are little less than miraculous, as every one of the six-and-forty changes Kerr Schulz's features undergo during the entertain ment is a perfect study for au artist. It is net simply a trifling change heightened by false wigs and other theatrical contrivances of which we speak, but a perfect and complete alteration of countenance effected by an extraordinary control of the facial muscles, each one being a perfect photograph of the type represented. With respect to the second part of the entertainment—the Physiology of the Beard—' the effect is perfectly bewildering. At one time we have the face ornamented with the military moustache, the artist's beard, the half-pay beard, the democratic beard, the mutton-chop whisker , and a variety of others equally curious, all pro duced by a contrivance at once most surpris ing and ingenious. Those who have not yet visited the Egyptian-hall ought certainly to avail themselves of the present opportunity, for in losing a sight of Herr Schulz they will miss one of the most remarkable exhibitions ever produced in the metropolis. MUSIC. THE SONGS OF ME. EL CLIFTON. It is with much pleasure we have to speak of the humorous and pleasing compositions of this very clever vocalist and author, because they supply 3 want which has long existed, viz., a lively, merry ditty, that can be sung at a private family party, either by lady or gentleman, without the fear of offending propriety. Unfortunately of late a taste has to some extent sprung up for a class of songs of a very questionable character, and " great comic singers" have received in some instances enormous salaries for doing that which, in the opinion Of many, had much better been left alone. But a change has begun to appear, and now real wit and humour seem to be required in place of low vul garity. To Mr. Clifton is the favourable movement mainly to be attributed, because unaided he has worked against the vulgar taste, and that he has succeeded is best shown by the very large demand which every new song he issues to the public through the instrumentality of Messrs. Hopwood and Crew, of New Bond-street, is sure to meet with. In the words of one of his own excellent compositions, he has been " Pulling hard against the stream," and at last the po pular tide has turned in his favour—a circumstance that will give pleasure to every lover of mirth and good taste. It would be impossible to enumerate separately the merits of his compositions, but as specimens of his style we take at random, "Bear it , like a man," " Where there's a will there's a way,' " A motto for:every man," " Work, boys, work,' " Pulling hard against the stream," "My old wife," "Jones's musical party," "The railway bell," "It'o really very singular," and " The good tempered man." Each of the above are entirely of his own composi . • tion, both words and music, and in all such a healthy spirit prevails that the vocalist experiences as much pleasure in singing as a really merry and wise party would certainly feel in listening to them. Mr. Clifton has doubtless worked hard, but the success he is nosy enjoying must be both a gratification and a satisfac" tion to him, especially as he has had to overcome difficulties that appeared almost insurmountable• Messrs. Hopwood and Crew have also just pub' lished all the new dance music performed by Coote and Tinney's band at the aristocratic balls during the season, all the latest gems of melody sung by the Christy Minstrels, including the immensely popular ballads, " Sail on, silver cloud," " The bird awaits.the day," " Mill May," and "Sweet thought° of thee," and a series of instrumental pieces, th e latest being Berger's " Always Gay," and Riviere s " Echoes of the Night," both brilliant and telling compositions.
