'aval and Military Intelligence. The detachment of non-commissioned officers and men of the Ist battalion of the 10th Regiment of Foot placed under orders to embark for the Cape of Good Hope is expected at Chatham next week, and embark at Portsmouth on board the Tamar. A party of Sappers and Miners of the Royal Engineers will likewise embark in the same vessel. Yesterday Major-Gen. F. Murray, commanding the forces in the Chatham district, resumed and brought to a close the half-yearly inspection of the corps of Royal Engineers. The whole of the officers and men of the various companies at headquarters, to the number of about 600 of all ranks, inclusive of officers, assembled on Chatham lines shortly after 9 o'clock. where they received Gen. Murray and Staff on their arrival with a general salute. After going through a series of battalion move ments, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Fitzroy Somerset, to test their efficiency in field evolutions, theßoyalEngineers were marched off the ground and returned to their quarters. Gen. Murray then in spected the officers and non-commissioned officers of the A troop, Royal Engineer Train, at sword drill mounted, and subsequently the officers and staff sergeants of the several companies at the same exercise, in which they acquitted themselves in a very satisfactory manner. The remainder of the morning was devoted by Gen. Murray to the in spection of the mounted A troop, Royal Engineer Train, together with their horses, waggons, pon toons, and the other field equipments. Yesterday afternoon one of the companies was selected for company drill on the parade ground, to test the knowledge of the junior officers in this portion of their duties, the inspection terminating with a visit •to the schools, halls of study, lecture and model rooms, and the various other departments at the Royal Engineer establishment. It is understood that the inspection was a highly satisfactory one. The anniversary dinner of the officers engaged at Balaklava is appointed for the 25th inst., at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. Major-General Bodge, C. 8., will preside. Capt. E. 11. G. Lambert has been appointed to command her Majesty's ship Pallas, vice Capt. M. Connolly, invalided. Her Majesty's ship Esk, 21 guns, 1,160 tons 250 horse power, Capt. John P. Luce, arrived at Spit head yesterday morning from Australia, and during the day was officially inspected by Admiral Sir Thos. S. Pasley, naval Commander in Chief at Ports mouth, being under orders to proceed into Ports mouth harbour to dismantle and return stores, and pay out of commission. She sailed from Sydney on the 15th of June last, arrived at Auckland on the 30th, and experienced a heavy easterly gale of four days' duration on the way. Auckland was left on the 4th of July, and Cape Horn rounded on the 30th. Remarkably fine weather was experienced between Auckland and Cape Horn, with light easterly winds off the latter famous promontory. Bahia was reached on the 221 of August, and left again on the 24th, Fayal being called in at on the 19th of September. Fine weather was met with between the Western Islands and the Channel. On the 26th of September, in lat. 46 15, long. 18 52, the sailing merchant ship Countess of Russell was fallen in with and boarded by an officer and boat's crew from the Esk. She proved to be from Auck land, New Zealand, with troops of the Military Train and the Line on board, under the command of Col. O'Brien, bound for Spithead. One sick soldier and two children had died on board since leaving Auckland, but otherwise all was well on board. The Norwegian frigate Nordsternen, 15, Capt. Baron Wedel Jarlsberg, which arrived in Plymouth Sound on Monday, left yesterday morning for . Gibral tar. The Dutch paddle wheel vessel Sumatra left Ply mouth Sound yesterday morning. The hired transport Mauritius passed down Channel off Plymouth on Thursday, and the Golden Fleece on Friday. The paddlewheel steam storeship Dee, having in curred damage while going down Channel, took shelter at Tor'...ay, whence she was towed to Ply mouth yesterday by the tug Trusty. The Rattlesnake will probably leave Plymouth Sound to-morrow morning for the West Coast of Africa, to relieve the Bristol. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Navigating Lieut. John S. Comp ton to the Indus, for service in the Defence ; Navi gating James G. Liddell to the Wellesley, for ser vice in the Myrmidon; Navigating Sub-Lieut. Wm. A. R. Hall to the Serapis ; Wm. H. May, midship man, to the Liffey ; B. I. Sims, navigating midship wan, to the Plover ; E. Eckersley, engineer, to the Indus, additional, for service in the Bann; G. T. Blundel, engineer, to the Pembroke ; and J. R. C. Martin, nominated a naval cadet. TUE LORDS OF 7HO A DMIRALTY Al CliAlllAlll. At the termination of the inspection of Chatham dockyard on Thursday afternoon the Lords of the Admiralty were engaged with the Captain Superin tendent and the principal heads of departments in the examination of the establishment estimates for the forthcoming year. Yesterday morning their Lordships landed at the Qteen's-stairs from the Enchantress, and were again occupied for some time at the office of the Captain-Superintendent in con sidering and examining the proposed estimates for . the approaching year, and in other matters of detail connected with the several departments. From what transpired there is little doubt that some addi tional sums beyond those usually appearing on the estimates will be applied for to carry out the works in progress as well as those contemplated, which the practical knowledge possessed by the First Lord deems to be absolutely requisite at an establishment which has become the principal yard in the country for the construction and repair of the vessels com posing our ironclad fleet. Leaving the dockyard at 11 a.m. their Lordships visited Melville Royal Naval Hospital, over which they were conducted by the medical staff at that establishment. Mr. Corry and his colleagues went through the several wards in which the patients are under treatment, every portion visited being a model of cleanliness, good order, and com fort. After leaving Melville Hospital they proceeded to the gun battery, where the officers and men of the Royal Marines Light Infantry undergo their course of training and instruction in working heavy naval ordnance. A party of officers and men, under the command of Capt. A. H. Nepean, the divisional in structor of gunnery, were put through a course of gunnery exercise at the battery in loading, training, and firing the heavy ordnance, in which they ac quitted themselves very satisfactorily. The large block of buildings recently constructed on a portion of the waste ground of the dockyard, as well as the works connected with the enlarge ment of the Royal Marine barracks, next occupied their Lordships' attention, a brief t visit having pre viously been paid to the Soldiers' Institute, the ad vantages offered by which are shared in by the men of the Royal Marines as well as the troops of the lino in garrison. The new range of buildings just completed by Messrs. Foord and Sons, Roches ter, for officers'quarters, over which their Lordships were conducted, have been erected at a cost of about £20,000, exclusive of the site. The buildings have a frontage of 260 ft. by 44ft. in depth, and provide quarters for 5 field officers, 12 captains, and 21 sub alterns, besides a residence in the centre for the colonel second commandant of the division. In ad dition to the officers' quarters the Royal Marine barracks have been enlarged to about double their original size,at a total outlay of upwards of £50,000. The additional buildings, which afford accommoda tion for 781 non-commissione.l officers and men, are now completed, the L')rds of the Admiralty devot ing a considerable period yesterday to their inspec tion. The principal left wing has a frontage of 190 ft. and extends back to front 50ft. It contains 28 rooms, giving accommodation for 468 men, while a number of offices hitherto used as quartermaster's stores have been connected with the left wing, giving additional accommodation for 144 men. At the back of the new wing is a range of buildings of 127 ft. frontage, containing offices and storerooms for the barrack mas ter and quartermaster, with tailor's shop, adjoining which is a large canteen, with a frontage of 78ft. The open space between the rear buildings and the old portion of the barracks has been covered in with a wrought-iron roof 340 ft. in length by 51ft. in width, supported on cast-iron columns. This is intended to be used as a drill-shed, and has been erected at the suggestion of Col. Clarke, R.E., Admiralty Direc tor of Works, although very much opposed at the time by the resident officers, who objected to the proposed site, although the old arcade previously used for drilling contained nothing like the required accommodation. During their tour of inspection their lordships visited the newly-erected reading and recreation room for the men of the Royal Ma rines, erected on the site of the late hall and fives court. The building contains a reading-room 45ft. in length, with quarters for the librarian. Refresh ments in the way of tea, coffee, &c., can be ob tained by the men at prime cost, no attempt at profit being made. From inquiries made by their lordships yesterday it appeared that there are at present 622 members, each paying 2d. per month. The library contains 2,390 volumes, and the tables are well supplied with most of the daily papers and the leading serials. At right angles to the new building is erected the south wing, with a frontage of 149 ft. and a depth of 51ft., containing paymaster's offices, court martial room, orderly room, day room, cells and rooms providing accommodation for 172 men. The desirability of removing the block of buildings adjoining the public road, used as offices and resi dences for some of the officers, as well as the old buildings at the south end of the barrack-square, was brought under the consideration of the mem bers of the Board, and it is probable that this will be carried into effect. On the completion of the works in progress, as well as those intended, the Royal Marine barracks at Chatham will not be in ferior to any in this country. The whole of the works have been carried out by Messrs. Foord and Sons, Rochester, from the Admiralty designs, under the direction of Col. Pasley, R.E., and Mr. H. T. Rivers, Mr. Davis being the resident clerk of works specially appointed. The Lords of the Admiralty were joined at the Royal Marine barracks at 12 o'clock by Admiral Farragut and the officers of the United States' war steamer Franklin, and were received at the en trance to the barrack-square by Major-Gen. J. 0. Travers, C. 8., Inspector-General of the Royal Marines ; Colonel G. Lambric, aide-dii-camp to the Queen, commandant of the division ; Colonel S. W. Lowder, C. 8., aide-de-camp to the Queen, and other officers, the corps of Royal Marine Light Infantry, numbering nearly 1,000 bayonets, giving a general salute, and bands paying " Rule, Britannia." The members of the Board, accompanied by Admiral Farragut and the other officers, then inspected the corps, which was formed in two battalions, after which the battalions broke into companies and marched past at slow time, followed by the battalions marching past in close order at quick time. A general salute was then given to Admiral Farragut, the bands playing " Hail, Columbia," followed by the customary Royal salute, with colours drooped. Mr. Corry then advanced to the centre of the bar ' rack-square, and in a few words expressed the satis faction of their Lordships at the appearance and movements of the officers and men. The members of the Board and the other distinguished visitors were afterwards entertained at luncheon in the offi cers' mess-room. At 2 o'clock their Lordships embarked on board the Enchantress, which immediately steamed out of harbour to Sheerness, where the Board will inspect the dockyard, the vessels of war in harbour, and the naval establishments. Last evening Sir Baldwin W. Walker, Naval Commander-in-Chief, enter tained the First Lord and other members of the Board of Admiralty, together with Admiral Far ragut and the officers attached to his suite, at dinner, at his official residence, Sheerness. The customary holiday to the workmen of Chat ham dockyard, on the occasion of the Admiralty inspection, will take place to-day, the establish ment closing at 11 a.m. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The usual meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday, at the offices, in Spring gardens ; Sir John Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented, from which it appears that the aggregate cash balance on the Ist of October was £534,135, and payments were ordered to the amount of £6,963 Bs. sd. THE ENCLOSURE OF WANDSWORTH-COMMON. A deputation from the Wandsworth-common Preservation Society, headed by Mr. Anderson Rose, waited on the Board for the purpose of presenting a memorial praying for the assistance of the Board in resisting the encroachments which were being made on the rights of the inhabitants of Wandsworth and Battersea by the further enclosures that were taking place of large portions of Wandsworth-common. It stated that great anxiety was felt to preserve what remained of the common for public use and recrea tion, for more than one half of the ccmmon had already been enclosed—in the first instance for semi-charitable purposes, and on that account those enclosures had not been opposed. Since that time, however, enclosures had been made by private per sons in collusion with the lord of the manor, and an enclosure had been made by the Brighton Railway Company, not for the purposes of the railway, and not under the powers of their Act of Parliament, but as a building speculation. The purchase of that part of the common had been made by Mr. Laurie and Mr. Slight, as appeared by the conveyance deed for their own use, but purchasers of some of the lots refused to complete on the ground that there were commonable rights, and that the Brighton Railway Company had no power to extinguish them ; where upon the railway company allowed the objection and returned the deposits, therefore it was with a full knowledge of all these defects that the land had been purchased. Notwithstanding this, several footpaths had been stopped up, but these fences had been repeatedly broken down, and yet the railway com pany refused to try the right. The Brighton Rail way Company had made enclosures for dust and re fuse of the district, and a vast heap of accumulated filth had been deposited, and was constantly sorted and sifted there, and a Mr. Todd and a Mr. Hewitt were building a public house on the common land so illegally enclosed by the Brighton Railway Com pany. An avenue of trees a mile long, skirting the east side of the common, was being destroyed by Mr. Todd, although it was outside the fence and on the public footpath, and the line of building it was believed was proceeding illegally, and set most injuriously to the public traffic. The width of the main road was only 25ft. from kerb to kerb, and the carriage road was only 18ft. 4in. For these reasons it was prayed that this Board would take such steps as might be necessary to prevent the enclosure of Wandsworth-common by the Brighton Railway Company and their agents, as a building specula tion, and to stop the buildings now being erected thereon. After a short discussion the subject was referred to the Works and General Purposes Committee for consideration and retort. THE SOUTHERN OUTFALL.—STATE OF THE RIVER. Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR said, in conseqUence of com plaints which had been made to him with respect to the state of the river Thames near the Southern Outfall Works, in which it was stated that there was a large amount of deposit, he wished to ask the chief engineer what was the nature of that deposit, and whether it was of a deleterious character. The CHIEF ENGINEER said there was a survey made of the part of the river complained of by the Thames Conservancy Board in 1861, and there was no doubt that the report of 1867 would show a con siderable accession of mud, but it should bo remem bered that the works of the Board were not opened until 1864, and they would have to ascertain how much of this accumulation was due before 1864, and how much since that time. He had a report which would throw some light upon the subject, but at present he was not in possession of complete in formation as to what the deposit was before that period and what it had been since. In those reaches of the river there was a considerable tendency in the mud to accumulate, as there had been in other parts of the river. He must say, however, that the accounts he had seen in the papers in reference to this subject were much exaggerated, for, although he believed in some places there had been an increase of ;deposit since the outfall works had been opened, in other parts of the river there THE SUN. I.ON i)( had been a very considerable decrease. On the whole, the reports in the newspapers were much exaggerated. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he had not seen any report in the papers, and until the communication was made to him he did not know that there was anything to be complained of. Mr. NEWTON said it should not be lost sight of there was always a very serious deposit in the river above bridge which was removed by dredging, but since the outfall had been removed to Crossness and Abbey-mills, from the numerous openings up of the river, the necessity for that dredging had ceased. It was justpossible that some deposit had been removed lower down the river, but it was also a question whether the Conservancy had not saved money by it. The Engineer said it was a fact that the sewage that used to be discharged between this place and London-bridge was now taken lower down the ricer. Mr. S. TAYLOR regretted that the matter had been publicly brought forward, as the committee had gone very fully into the subject, and ordered the engineer to report upon it. Mr. WESTERTON said he had seen the article alluded to, but there was something else at the end of it, to the effect that the Essex Reclamation Com pany would soon have all the solid deposit put upon the Maplin Sands, and what had previously been a desert would become soon a complete Garden of Eden. Now, it seemed to him that this was merely a ruse on the part of the Essex Reclamation Com pany to float some of their shares. Mr. DIXON, as an old long shoreman, could say that there had been an accumulation of mud in cer tain places ever since the steamboats commenced running, while in other places the accumulations that had previously existed were removed. In his opinion that state of things would always exist. The subject then dropped. THE PROGRESS OF THE THAMES EMBANKMENT WORKS, &C. The Chief Engineer made the following report on the,Thames Embankment and other works : " North Side of the River. " Thames Embankment between Westminster and Waterloo Bridges.—The whole of the dams have been completed, and portions thereof have subse quently been removed from such of the work as is sufficiently advanced for the purpose ; 3,335 ft. of the low level sewer, 3,244 ft. of the subway, 2,925 ft. of the smaller sewer, for intersecting the several drains discharging on the foreshore, and 284 ft. of the flushing culvert are also complete. The West minster Steamboat Pier is, with slight exceptions, completed, as also is the river wall adjoining for a length of 670 ft., and of which wall a further length of 50ft. is brought to a height of 34ft. above Trinity high water mark, 100 ft. of the York-gate substruc ture is brought to the same height; 333 ft. of the adjoining wall is completed, and a further length of 390 ft. is constructed to a height of 3ift. above the Trinity mark; 45ft. of the Charing-cross steamboat pier is also brought to that height, and for the re mainder of this pier works of concreting, brickwork, and masonry are brought to levels varying from 11ft. to 27ift. below Trinity datum. Of the adjoin ing river wall 302 ft. is constructed to a height vary ing from lft. to 34ft. above that datum. The works to the Adelphi landing stairs and 398 ft. of the river wall adjoining are brought to levels of from lft. below to nit. above Trinity, and 50ft. in length out of the outer capping is fixed. In the Waterloo steamboat pier works up to the junction with the works of No. 2 contract, the main screen, return, and face walls have been brought to heights varying from Ift. below to 3ift. above the Trinity high water mark. Filling behind the embankment wall and in the works generally has been carried out to the extent of about half a million cubic yards. There have also been constructed the new outlets from the Victoria and Regent-street sewers, including the diversion of a portion of those sewers and the finishing of a part of the pneumatic tube for the purposes of the Waterloo and Whitehall Railway Company. The approximate cost of the whole of these works, including £21,930 for materials upon the ground, amounts to about £411,000, of which £16,800 re presents the progrsss made in the past two months. " Contract between Waterloo bridge and Temple gardens—Since the date of my last report 4,855 cubic feet of granite has been bedded in the Temple steamboat pier, lamp pedestals, and parapet walls, Ifr rods of brickwork has been laid, and 1,900 cubic rods of brick and other good material filled in. The dam in front of the pier and of the wall generally, with the exception of a length of about 150 ft., has been entirely removed, and thus leaves the face of the embankment open to view from the river for a length of 1,820 ft. The approximate value of the whole of the works completed, including 2,866 for materials upon the ground, is £211,617, of which the sum of £3,127 represents the progress made in the past two months. "Abbey-mills Pumping Station--The works in connection with the several buildings comprising this station have satisfactorily progressed during the past two months, 219 rods of brickwork having been laid, 11,890 cubic feet of Portland stone bedded in the cornices, doorway, and window mouldings, para pets, &c., 1,900 superficial feet of York stone bedded in landings, 323 cubic yards of concrete deposited, and 170 tons of iron used in girders, tubes, centre bearers, tie beams, &c. The total estimated value of the whole of the completed works is £142,807, of which £14,933 is due to the progress made within the past two weeks. "Low Level Sewer--The work remaining to com plete this contract is in active progress. The girders for carrying the iron tubular sewer over the East London Railway at Shadwell are erected, and three lengths of the tube are jointed and fixed. The value of the work done during the past two weeks is esti mated at £4,133. The works for carrying the Isle of Dogs branch of this sewerpast the dock entrances in the river are progressing as fast as the difficult nature of the work will permit. The two dams at the ends of the iron pipes which are being laid along the foreshore are complete, and the penstock-house at the coalwharf is also finished. The total estimated value of the work completed under the contract for this branch sewer is £76,320, of which the sum of £4,350 represents the progress made therewith during the last two months. " South side of the River. "Thames Embankment. —About 2,370 ft. of the dam and staging has been constructed between Westminster and Lambeth-bridges, and a length of about 450 ft. of the single pile darns has been con structed above the latter bridge. Within the com pleted darn, a length of about 2,300 ft. of the river wall has been brought to heights varying from 3:1 ft. to 'lift above Trinity high water mark. In the construction of this wall, and the works connected therewith, about 87,000 cubic yards of earth have been excavated, 30,000 yards filled in, 22,500 yards concrete deposited, 580 rods of brick work laid, and 126,500 cubic feet of stone bedded. The approximate cost of the whole of these works, including £23,870 for materials upon the ground, is £139,780, of which the sum of £8,500 represents the progress made in the past two months. " J. W. BAZALGETTE, Engineer." The report was received and ordered to be entered on the minutes. The rest of the business was disposed of and the Board adjourned. MURDER 1N FRANKFORT-ON-THE- 111.11 NE. A strike occurred this week at the Gas Fabrkk, Frankfort-on-the-Maine, and the police were unable to quell the eineute. The Prussian soldiers were called in, and quieted matters. An unfortunate event, however, happened in connection with it. One of the workmen taunted some Prussian soldiers, calling them hard names, when a soldier at once thrust his bayonet through the body of the man, penetrating his heart, and killing him instantly. The workman leaves a wife and family. The abuse of the soldier was deemed a justification for the murder, and it is said that he has not been arrested, and that he will not be punished. Synods appear to be the rage. A congress of German bishops is announced for the 15th of October at Fulda, iu Hesse Cassel. The Bishop of Salzburg has originated the meeting. SATUR PAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1,,,361. Miscellaneous Foreign News. (From Correspondent of the Ant - go -American Times.) • PARIS, Oct. 3. The 29th of September ended the fetes and festi vities of the great Fair of St. Cloud, after the duration of a month, and dividing with the Exposi tion the attention of the good folks of Paris—lsay dividing, but I ought rather to say eclipsing, for the latter has certainly gone down to No. 2 on the occasion, that is, if one may judge from the com parative number of visitors in each case. It sounds strangely to the foreigner to hear so much said about a fair, but he is not aware that in France these exhibitions are under the immediate protection of the Government, and form part of its machinery, adding enormously to its resources in the shape of indirect taxation, and reflowing through a thousand other channels, to the advantage of commerce and industry. In the days of the Valois these fetes were paid for with the money arising from an overtaxed people by an unscrupulous Minister of Finance ; to day the people themselves provide the fête, being indebted only to the Sovereign for the full and free use of the royal park and pleasure grounds ; and with all this difference, I question if—not withstanding the millions of francs lavished by the Orleans family—l question if ever more brilliant fetes took place at St. Cloud than those now offered by the people themselves in their ame liorated condition. But the fair of St. Cloud bears a far more ancient date than the Chateau or Palace, as it is recorded that a bridge spanned the Seine at St. Cloud as early as 841, for at that period we learn that Charles the Bald encamped his army be tween St. Cloud and St. Denis to prevent the pas sage over the bridge in question of the army of - his brother Lothaire ; and at treat period so numerous were the peopre who resorted to the fair from Paris in boats, at a time when boats were little else than mere compositions of IN ood and pitch, and the river the only route that soldiers were stationed to pre vent the entrance of more than 16 persons into each. The famous "Filets de Saint Cloud," which have formed the subject of more than one romance and melodrama, were hung .up at the arches of the bridge in question, not merely for the reception of the renowned eels of the Seine, but of the various articles drifted by the current down from Paris, amidst which, at that remote period, corpses formed no inconsiderable proportion. St. Cloud, which, since the building of the Palace in 1658, has inva riably been the favourite summer residence of the royalty of France, has evidently been selected from the great natural beauty of its position, for, whilst erected on the slope of a hill, at a bend of the Seine, where the river is the widest, it commands au ex quisite view of river and woodland, Paris at the same time lies spread out before it like a map. It possesses also three methods of communication with Paris—first, the broad direct read from Paris to Versailles ; secondly, the omnibus steamers on the river ; and lastly, the Railway of the Ceinture. The Palace was built in 1658 by Louis the 14th, who purchased for that purpose various lands and pro perties, the principal one being the House of Geroine Goudi, an Italian banker, who had often received there Catherine de Medicis. This house is also noted for its connection with the murder of Henry the Third. The King, who had purchased these properties with the intention of building thereon a palace for his brother, the Duke of Orleans, ap pointed the artist Lenotre to design the park and gardens. The palace itself was built after the plans of Lepaute. The gallery and saloons were painted by the celebrated Miguard. After being in the possession of the Orleans family for more than a century, and being noted for the magnificent fetes given by Monsieur to his brother, King Louis, which have become a matter of history, for the death also of Monsieur himself and his queen, the charming Henrietta of England, the palace em bellished to the utmost by the gorgeous taste in the fine arts, which characterised the reign of Louis Quatorze, was purchased of the then Duke of Orleans by the unfortunate Marie Antoinette, whose architect, Micque, effected notable altera tions, to be altered in turn by Napoleon 1., Louis XVIII., Charles IX., and Louis Philippe, who suc cessively elected St. Chrio as their summer resi dence par excellence. The latter, commencing the railway at present in action between Paris and Versailles, and, of course, through St. Cloud and Sevres, so celebrated for its manufactory of porce lain, St. Cloud still continues to preserve its charm, being much in favour with the present Emperor and his family, who, however, with characteristic liberality, affords on every occasion an opportunity to the stranger and the public of beholding those rare relics of the fine arts, which are nowhere to be found in greater beauty and excellence. But lam getting ahead of my subject. Back to the fair— this fair, which enjoys the singular title of the Fair of the Mirlitons, the mirliton being a kind of primi tive flageolet, made from a piece of hollow wood, varying in length from a quarter to three or four yards, covered with a brilliant paper envelope. The perfect simplicity of this contrivance, too, affords an additional testimony in favour of the extreme antiquity of the fair. It lasts about a month, and takes place in the magnificent Royal pleasure grounds of the park, immediately underneath the Chateau. Let the reader figure to himself an encampment of baraques, or little ships, ex tending in three long lines through the broad glades of the park, wherein aTe sold every production or merchandise of France, jewellery, porcelain of Sevres, nonnettes (sweet cakes) from i swings, rem ar k a bl e e i t h er Dijon, &c., whilst mixed with them are billi ar d fo rtables, their shooting powerful gaollr h r musical m ac hi nery ; cir cuses, galleries shows, pavilions of every description, cunz multis aliis, which it would take much too long to describe. In the midst of all this rise the grand cascades and fountains, the play of the waters forming such an attraction on all occasions for the Parisian, the beautiful designs of which have been executed by Lepaute and Mansarde. Flowing down under a double triumphal arch, cro wne d w ith statues, over a slope cut into stone steps, ado rne d vases r w o i a t d h way, fa o l f ls flowers,into a tshereiewsaotef semicircular basinsr passing under the expanding in gentle waves, and spouting from the mouths of numerous bronze monsters which adorn the several ledges. But lam exceeding my limits and excluding general news. La suite a denzain, then, as the French journalists say ; or, in other words, I promise to finish my sketch next week, and not to omit the description of the Palace of the Bal des Canotiers after the regatta, or of the grotesque Retraite aux Flambeaux by the Voltigeurs of the Imperial Guard quartered at St. Cloud. A very able review of the external policy of France appears this week in the Siecle, written in consequence of the recent episode in Italy by Garibaldi. The writer endeavours to prove the inefficiency alike of violent interference on behalf of Poland and the Crimean campaign to limit effectually the power of Russia, which, he argues, would be more effectively done in raising up Poland as a barrier, and, at the same time, in concentrating and taking the lead with the slave States. In regard to the affairs of Italy, the writer argues that the prestige which would otherwise have accrued to France in the Italian war was in a great measure lost by the jeaving of Venice still in chains, thus necessitating her deliverance by other hands, whilst the fact of France interfering for the, support of the temporal power of the Pope tends still further to lessen her influence amongst the patriots of Italy. He con cludes his article with an allusion to the war of 1866, endeavouring to show that the mediation of France has had, as it were, the effect of dividing Germany into two parts, north and south, thus afford ing to M. Bismark the opportunity of representing her as interfering to prevent the treaty so evidently desired by the German patriots. I merely, however, present these remarks as the resume of a French opinion upon French politics, endorsing it in no point of view. A curious commentary on the free- dom of desert life, so beautifully pictured by Byron— " In the wilds of starry climes he made himself a home, And hie sml drank their sunbeams ; By his side stood camels grazing. And a man Clad in a flowing garb did watch the while." And in connection with the advancing progress of civilisation, is contained in an Algerian newspaper which I received this morning. A caravan of fifty camels, under the conduct of a large number of Arabs, had stopped to pasture in the olive grounds of a. colonist named Burck. As these animals me naced the greatest destruction to the olives, Burck, who had received notice of the fact, came hastily on the ground, followed by the Garde Champetre, and attempted to turn out the camels and their guardians; this, however, the Arabs sturdily resisted, alleging the, free right of the desert to pasture their beasts where they pleased, and upon the Garde Champetre attempting to seize one of the camels as a guarantee for the expenses, the Arabs presented the muzzles of their guns as a counter argument. The colonist, however, having fired in the air as a signal, a strong reinforcement of colonists came up, whereupon the intruders took to flight upon their arrival. At the neighbouring village of Boaffarick they laid a com plaint against M. Burck before the fuge de Paix of that place, but an investigation of the circum stances turned the scale, and a lodgment in the prison of Blidah afforded to the sons of the Desert time to reflect upon the advantages of civilisation as applied to Desert life. A most interesting re union took place on Sunday last at Montmartre, of young persons, deaf Ind dumb, of both sexes coming from the special institutions in Paris. The house selected was the scene of the primitive labours of the celebrated Abbe del Epee, the originator of these institutions in France; the day selected being the Feast of St. Michael, the patron saint of the Abbe. The saloon was decorated with various pictures, sculptures, &c., executed by deaf and dumb artists. The arrival at Paris of the Emperor and Empress of Austria is said to be fixed for the 20th. Louis the Third, of Bavaria, will leave for Nice on the 24th, where he will pass the winter. The Duke of Rutland has arrived from England. He is about to visit the south of France. American personal news in Paris is dull. Several of our friends, however, have requested me, when occa sionally speaking of the Exposition, to notice some of the most remarkable of the American inventions and products comparatively with those of others. I shall be only too happy to oblige, expressing at the same time a strong opinion that, although late in the field in the Exposition Comparative Examination, will in very many points not find her behindhand. - Wherever civilised soldiers are opposed to savages who are at all successful they conceive the idea that the savages are led by traitors, either from their own ranks or from some other civilised race. A report has gained currency that white men direct the operations of the Red Indians. On the 13th Sept. five stage stations between Hays City and Fort Wallace, in Kansas, were attacked, 40 mules and, horses captured, one man killed, and several wounded. On the 15th, two days after, the Indians seized a train of 40 waggons east of Hays City, killing the two drivers, and appropriating 30 animals. On the 17th an attack was made on the grading parties on the Eastern Division Pacific Railroad, and seven men were killed. On the2lst the Peace Commissioners had decided on leaving Omaha for the North Platte, where they were to meet Spotted Tail. Thence they were to proceed to Fort Laramie to propose the terms. The Indians lay it down as an essential condition of peace that the whites should abandon the Smoky Hill route, along which the Eastern Division of the Pacific Railway is being carried, coupling with this the withdrawal of the United States troops from the Powder River country. An officer lately from Big Horn River estimates the hostile Indians in the North at 22,000 men ; most of whom are under Red Cloud, chief of the Upper Brule Sioux, who is reported to have said, when at peace we are poor, when at war rich. Several hostile tribes are gathered on the northern slope of the Rocky Mountains, be tween Forts Philip Kearney, and C. F. Smith. Numbers of Indians are awaiting the Peace Com missioners at Fort Rice, and a counsel had been held between some Federal officers and the chief of the Kiowas on the 10th ult., at Ford Lamed, when some satisfactory resolutions were arrived at. The negro majority in the Southern States will probably be curtailed by a difficulty as amusing as it is unexpected. When giving their surnames as Pompey, Caesar, Solomon, Sambo, Friday, they were required to add Christian names, as the simple surnames, each embracing a host, was not sutli ciently distinctive for registration purposes. This puzzled " darkie," who in his perplexity adopted the suggestion of the man at his elbow. Before Sambo reached home he had forgotten the name he had given, and a considerable number of votes will in consequence be throw❑ out. Two hundred were rejected at Richmond on the Railroad Aid ques tion, and it is possible that a large number will be lost from a similar cause in future elections. The Indianapolis Journal has an on dit that the worthy sheriff of Butler County, Ohio, tendered the M'Coole-Jones party the freedom of his bailiwick, and told them they might fight in the Court-house if they wanted to. All he asked was a front seat and a free ticket. The Taunton Republican says Hon. OAkes Ames, of North Easton, has contracted to build nearly the whole of theremainingportion of the Union Pacific Railroad— some six hundred miles, passing through thn Rocky Mountain region—receiving therefor over forty-seven millions of dollars. This is believed to be the largest contract ever entered into by one man. A company, which has been formed in New Jersey for the purpose of applying the pneumatic prin ciple to the transmission of parcels and mails, propose to erect an experimental line between Jersey City and Newark. They have decided to build a wooden tube, three feet in diameter, resting on the ground or elevated, through which cars with packages will be driven, by an American patent, at the rate of ono hundred miles an hour. The tube will cost about $lO,OOO per mile. A private dinner was given to Gen. Beauregard on Thursday, Sept. 19, at the New York Hotel, by about a hundred friends residing in New York. He made a speech to the effect that the talk of another re bellion was slicer nonsense. It was utterly impossible for a generation. We should now bend our energies towards again building up our Union to that magnificent status among the nations of the world to which its destiny evi dently points. He urged thorn to give the Government their united support. The annual exhibition of the Hampden Agricul cultural Society was to be hold in Springfield on the first two days of October. The American frigate Minnesota left Lisbon for Cadiz on October 3. The troop-ship .Hintalayah, with the 4th battalion of the GOth Royal Rifles on board, has been detained in quarantine at Quebec, cholera having broke out on board. The tallow tree of China has been transplanted in the Punjaub with great success. Dr. Jameson has pre pared hundredweights of grease from it, and has forwarded on trial a portion of it to the Punjaub Railway, to have its qualities tested as a lubricant. The grease thus obtained, it is said, forms an excellent tallow, burning with a clear, brilliant, and white light, emitting no unpleasant odour or smoke. The Tribune " special despatch" from Constanti nople, ten days ago, announcing the presentation of an _ _ _ " ultimatum" to the Porto by the Russian Ambassador, and demanding the cession of Candia to Greece and the equa lity of the Christians, gave that journal " the satisfaction of being the first to announce a movement, on the part of Russia, which probably assures the speedy dissolution of the Turkish empire, and may be the signal of a general European war"—turns out, as we predicted last week, to be just three-fourths fiction. The Constantinople corre spondent furnished us on Wednesday morning with a full proof of his wildness and excitability. The "ultimatum" is neither more nor less than an elaborate plan of reform, drawn from the Russian Government by a visit of Feed Pasha to the Czar, and by ct personal request for advice addressed to General Ignatief by the Sultan himself, "recommending" the cession of Candia to Greece, and "proposing" certain internal re forms. The only pretext for calling it an "ultimatum" is General Ignatief's saying that if this advice was not taken, his master "would not be responsible for the conse qnonces." The correspondent then unblushingly adds— "l do not think RuSsia is ready to follow up this ultimatum now ; but it is evident she is preparing to strike AS soon as war breaks out in Europe." Our advice to tho Pribu'rals to instruct this gentleman in the meaning of " ultimatum," and to add to his " special despatches" a caution to the pub lic.—The Nation. GEN. SICKLES'S SPEECH IN NEW YORK.—NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Gen. Sickles concluded his speech to the serenaders last night, amid loud, long-continued cheers, as follows:—''Much remains to be done before our country can enjoy the repose and security you won for her at Gettysburg, at Atlanta, at Spottsyl vania, Winchester, and Richmond. Tho enemies who surrendered to Grant, and Sherman, and Sheridan— (loud cheers)—are now on their parole of honour to obey the laws of the land, and I believe their parole will be kept whenever the Government, in all its departments, is agreed on the duty to be performed. The will of the people who put down the rebellion must be executed. (Applause.) Then, and not till then, shall we have peace. Let us have faith in the future. Let no one take counsel of the timid. Whoever may be tried and found wanting, the army of to-day, the armies of 1865, the citizon soldiers of the Republic and Grant—(loud cheers)—their invincible leader, will never falter, never fail." • singular curiosity in Martin county, Indiana, is thus described :—lt stands alone in the dense forest, a gigantic stone jug about 50 feet in height, about 5 feet in diameter at the base, 8 feet midship, and 2 feet at the top, upon which rests a broad, flat rock about 10 by 15 feet, covered with bushes and wild ivy, and some 3 feet from the centre stands a small tree. The rock is a great curi osity, and a view of it should never be lost sight of by the traveller passing that way.—Baltimore Weekly Commercial. COMMERCIAL. New York, Saturday, S ?pt. 21. There is more demand for money as is generally ex pected from tho requirements of the West to move the crops. Yesterday 7 per cent. was the ruling price from the best firms, and the advance therefore is fairly sus tained. At Chicago call loans are made at 8 per cent., 10 being the charge for a longer period. At Cincinnati the rates are from 8 to 10 per cent., with 10 or 12 for second class paper. Although the demand is good, the supply is abundant. It is thought as the glut of money increases in Europe, and the demand here becomes more brisk, that some of the idle capital on your side will find employment on this. At the same time it is feared that Butler and Pendleton, with others of that class, will injure confidence in American honesty by their speeches and letters on Re pudiation. We know the value of this talk. But you may attribute to it an importance it does not in reality pos sess. A decline in the United States Bonds has been re ported in the foreign markets, which, I suppose, is due to the agitation these wind-bags have excited. If the effect be felt in Europe, it is not impossible that it may lead to action in the next Congress by the passage of a measure settling the payment of the Five-Twenties in gold. The decline in Europe has been followed by weakness here, though the 5-20 Bonds keep up, as the street is not well supplied. There has been a fall in gold. It was strong early in the week, but fell on Thursday, when it closed at 1431. Yesterday it went down to 1421, closing at 1431. The receipts from customs average $500,000 a day, and there is no export demand. The importation of specie last week has also greatly fallen off, amounting only to $37,790. Silver is in limited request at 511 to 61 cents below the price of gold. Mexican dollars are 102 to 1021 in gold. Foreign exchange is firm, at 1091 to 1091; bills being more in re quest in consequence of the decline in gold. The Miscel laneous stock Market is excited and feverish ; railroads falling heavily during the last three days. The tone of the market has been weak and drooping, and the large margins have caused to speculators heavy losses. The want of confidence has thrown a considerable amount of shares on the market, though the " bulls " are sanguine of a favourable reaction, the earnings of the railways being unusually large. The September receipts of the New York Central are heavy thus far. The New York Weekly Bank Statement shows a loss of $4,500,000 in currency, and an increase of $4,000,000 in loans, There is a fair trade doing in dry goods; the market is well supplied, and there has been no change in prices. Cotton has declined, though not enough to make much impression on the markets. The following are the latest prices : Gold 1431. United States Five-Twenties (1862), 1091, (1864) 1091, (1865) 1101, (1865, new issue) 1071, United States Ten-forties 991, United States 7-30 Loan 1061 to 107, Missouri Sixes 104, Virginia Sixes 50, New York Central Railroad 1051, Erie 63.

(From the Wall-street Journal.) Mining Stocks are very dull, and although undoubtedly many of the Colorado Gold Stocks are now vory cheap, there is not the slightest inclination at present among out siders to touch them, the actual daily transactions'continu ing very light. Petroleum Stocks are fairly active, and Bennehoff Run, Buchanan Farm, and United States are very strong. There is also a general inquiry for the stocks of thoso companies owning Real Estate. At the annual meeting of the Bennehoff Run Petroleum Company, on September 13th, the following trustees were elected :—Cornelius Delameter, George A. Osgood, Cor nelius F. Timpson, John M'Master, Charles Stanton, Samuel W. Boocock, and Charles W. Whiley.

Government securities wete, however, but slightly lower, the demand for them from Europe appearing to counteract the effect of other influences. By a telegram, dated New York, Sept.2B, per the Atlan tic telegraph, the following prices have been received : Gold, 1431; United States Five-Twenties, 1181; Illinois, 122 ; Erie (Common), 64f ; Exchange (60 days), 1561. The market in London for American Securities has been dull since our last, with a tendency for Government Bonds to decline in value, from sales pressed on account of Continental bourses, which to-day has been very marked, the Five-TwentYßonds, 1862, having touched on 71k. Tho absence for two days of any quotations by Atlantic Telegraph has deterred buyers operating, o wing to the un certainty of the price of gold in New York. Erie Shares have been improving up till to-day, having advanced from 40 to 42i; they close, however, flatter, about 41. Illinois Shares remain steady. There exists a good demand for Railroad Bonds payable in sterling. Vir ginia Sterling have also been inquired for at full rates. Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Bonds and De bentures have been more freely taken than for some time past. The Report of the Committee of Investigatiou is expected to bo issued this week. (From Messrs. Bowles, Drevet, and Co.'s Circular.) Paris, Oct. 4, 1867. _ _ _ The declining tendency in American securities reported in our last circular of September 27 has continued dnring the week, and they have in a manner shared in the prevail ing panic, occasioned by the alarming advicss from all quarters, and serving to disquiet holders of all securities. Sales have been pressed far beyond the needs of buyers, resulting in a general decline in values and much de pression. We quote the market closing on the 3d instant, very heavy : United States 5.20 Bonds, 1862 Our advices from New York are to the 28th ultimo:— Gold United States Bonds, 1862 (currency) ll3l The Rente closes at 67 75 The Italian closes at Exchange on London 25 15 THE WAR IN THE RIVER PLATE. The R.M.S. Seine, with the mails from Brazil and the River Plate, arrived.at Southampton on Wed nesday evening, 2d inst., and brings dates from the seat of war in Paraguay up to the 15th of August, from Buenos Ayres and Montevideo to 28th of same month, and from Rio Janeiro of the Bth September. The news from the seat of war states that the fleet had passed the fortress of Curupaity and were in front of Humaita ; in this passage the ironclads had met with very rough treatment, the Taniandare and Colombo being disabled, and, with two others, had to be taken to Corrientes to be repaired. It is stated that this had been a preconcerted plan, and that for this advantage allowed by Marshal Lopez to the Allies overtures of peace were to be made, - in which the Allies relinquish the con quest of Paraguay, and Marshal Lopez remains in power ; and Brazil had despatched a special envoy on this mission to Buenos Ayres, the Conselheiro Siminba, and to help these arrangements it was stated that Captain Mitchell and Mr. Gould had come to Tujuti on board her Majesty's gunboat Dotterel, and an American man-of-war had also gone up to the same place. The Standard's corre spondent at the seat of war says--" That the posi tion of the Allied army is far advanced, but untenable, and, should the Paraguayans attack them, confusion must inevitably ensue." The correspondent of the Buenos Ay rean Government organ ,the Nation A rgen tina,has no hesitation in saying that the fleet will not pass Humaita, and that the attempt will not be the mere loss of one or more ironclads, but the destruc tion of the entire fleet ; and the correspondent of the Nacional says " that the Paraguayan lines in front of Tugu-cue are close up to the Allied en campment, and that the Paraguayan raiders, as they dashed along the lines, could be distinctly heard to shout ' Come, take back your women and the vessel you have left behind.'" All the foregoing clearly proves that the Allies cannot hope for success, and must end this long-protracted struggle with a peace honourable to the brave Paraguayans, and if, pos sible, also to themselves, and totally give up the idea of either overthrowing President Lopez, with whom his people, having chosen him, are perfectly content, or of the conquest of this small but brave Republic. The most serious feature of the fortnight is the .11....... 1 1 revolution that has again broken out in the province of Cordoba and the complete overthrow of the national power in that province, together with the imprisonment of the Minister of War, who hap pened to be there on a mission from the Central Government, which is unable to do anything in the matter, being so fully occupied with an expensive foreign war—a never-ending provincial war and a ceaseless Indian frontier war, that it is difficult for the Government to decide which way to turn first, and it is to be feared that, when too late, the Argentine Government and its people will see the folly committed in attempting the conquest of Paraguay, and in forming the unholy alliance with slavetrading Brazil. On the 12th of this month will expire the bill passed in 1862 making Buenos Ayres the capital of the Argentine Confederation, and as the Senate has rejected the bill to move such to Rosario, the deputies refuse to pass any other, and a grand political eclipse is predicted, the result of which it is difficult to fortell. From Montevideo there is no news of interest, the Dictator Flores wisely preferring the comforts of his capital to resuming his post at the seat of war. From Rio it is stated that the Chambers have adopted the bill for the issue of paper currency to meet the expenses of the war, and it is to be feared that such will be extended on to an un limited amount, with little or no security for its re demption. A serious outbreak of slaves had taken place at the establishment of Senor Brevas, south of Rio, the slaves numbering some 5,000. A military force had been despatched, but the result was un known upon the departure of the mails. It is to be feared, from rumours that were current at Rio, that revolt would take place at several other points of the province, instigated by the opposition, and by those who desire to see au end to the war with Paraguay, in which the empire is so wantonly wasting her resources, and her population so sparse, and not so easily replaced, and serious fears were expressed on this subject, as the negro or slave population is over double that of the free in habitants. The commercial intelligence is of little interest, and little had been doing, as both in Brazil and the Argentine Confederation trade was paralysed, through the many heavy taxes that have been created *since the war, and only army contractors may be said to have been flourishing.
