The visit of the SULTAN to the City has passed over most brilliantly. Our venerable corporation, whose traditional antiquity, however, must hide its diminished head before its illustrious guest—knows well how to maintain its historical reputation, and on occasions of this kind leaves nothing to be de sired in the splendour of its hospitality and the excellence of its general arrangements. The SULTAN, attended with all due pomp, moved eastward early in the evening, and his pro gress was witnessed by throngs of spectators, along the route, who had patiently endured all the discomforts of a showery afternoon for the sake of getting a glimpse of the Grand Turk. The sight within the Guildhall itself was well worth seeing, the beauty and variety of the decorations excelling even the ordinary brilliancy of State festivals. his MAJESTY, who seemed much pleased with his recep tion, expressed himself in suitable terms in acknow ledgment of the address presented by the Corpora tion, and the whole affair was one of the most successful incidents of the Imperial visit. Mr. BRIGHT reminds one of the old story of the personage who played different parts in sickness and in health, for no sooner bas he surpr i se d and gra tified the lookers-on by his adoption of moderate and sensible views, than forthwith he turns round and takes pains to show the worst part of his cha racter in strong lines and with all possible effect.

It is quite enough to drag living of unpopular legislation upon the opposite names into such scenes—the dead should be sacred party. The Radicals are determined to admit no from such unseemly intrusion, and it is au act more rivals near the throne than they can help, for of desecration for Mr. BRIGHT to say that the out of eleven Democrats who presented themselves p r i ne . from Kentucky and Connecticut only two were e l ec t o rs should show their adhesion to those ciples which Mr. SCHOLEFIELD so ably represented. admitted to seats, the cases of the others being re- As for the inflated terms in which he spoke of the ferred to committees.

The the old, old story of holding up the Conservatives as republication of the famous imperial despatches of the object of contempt, and the fit butt for October, 1865, comes as a timely answer to those ridicule.

This is not only offensive to the good sense and good taste of those who peruse it, but it is following upon a track that is hardly in accordance with parliamentary usage or constitutional forms. Suppose the precedent were followed, and as each new writ is called for, Mr. DISRAELI, Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. LowE, or any one else of standing, should pelt down to the place of contest, and lecture, argue, entreat, and com mand, as the case may be, with the view of getting their own particular favourite re turned.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. ------- (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Moniteur, in its bulletin to-day, states :-- "The holy Father has held a Papal chapel for the repose of the soul of the Emperor Maximilian. The members of the diplomatic body at Rome were present at the ceremony. " The Italian Chamber of Deputies has concluded the general discussion upon the project of law rela tive to the liquidation of ecclesiastical property, and the consideration of the first article of the project has begun. " The Austrian Chamber of Deputies, after a long debate, has voted by 79 'out of 135, against the abolition of the punishment of death." In the weekly review of foreign affairs by the evening illoniteur, there is the following apprecia tion of the enlightened and reforming policy of Austria :—" The Austrian Government pursues, with equal patience, energy, and good faith, the work of reorganisation which it has commenced. The first of the great constitutional laws presented by the Cabinet—that of Ministerial responsibility— has been adopted by the deputies of the Reichsrath. Ou the same day the Chamber voted, by a large majority, for the formation of a committee to con sider a proposed religious edict, which will proclaim entire freedom of religious worship, and-the esta blishment of regulations which would naturally re sult from the commencement of such a system. In future the names of Jews will not be erased from the lists of jurors, as at present, and they will with out exception enjoy all the rights and privileges granted to Christians. The policy of Austria at this moment is based upon the facilitation of pro gress and reform. The Minister of Justice is occu pied with ameliorations in the penal code, which W King gave thei a ng h Emperor. o mrf copy of will be the aboliti on o f cor p ora l p un i s h m ent. t o i e e n g t w h t toihet giveeh Tuileries K phse l oi 3 V ri enure Majesty information jl m feTos b htr e yiel r l g ahEt p omd a np i a d rreesl h ssop i n s egc fi ti r ng asked s the first visit in terview an institution for the succour of invalided military families mt nary urem families which the King founded in W t berg. the regulations and other The information to Count Sommer, who accompanied Congressmen in Washington are working harder in this July weather than members of the English Parliament. The latter may fairly consider the bulk of their work for the Session as done, now that the troublesome bill is sent on to the Lords, to whom a little excitement and perplexity ought to be refreshing, by way of change. The American representatives of both houses arc, hewever, going back to first principles—wrangling with each other, talking about the impeachment of the PRESIDENT, and above all worrying the Southern States, just his Majesty on a visit to the institution of a similar character in Paris. There has been a grand gala at the Tuileries in honour of the King of Wurtemberg. The Queen of Prussia and Count Goltz were present. The order of the Legion of Honour, set in diamonds, which the Emperor sent to M. Rouher is the third which has been conferred since 1852. Up to this period only two high functionaries of the State had received the honour, Count de Morny and Count Wralewski. The value of the present in money is estimated at 60,000 fr. A letter from Constantinople states that among the presents of the Sultan to the Emperor Napoleon is the sword of Constantine Dracoscs, the only relic left by that last Emperor of Constantinople,, who, abandoned by the Princes of Christendom, defended himself like a hero, and was killed on the breach while defending the city, thus falling like a hero with his Empire. _ _ _ Science has just been awakened by the publication of new documents by M. Chasles, the illustrious geometer of the Academy of Sciences. They are two letters from Rotrou, addressed to Cardinal Richelieu. In the first letter Rotrou describes the floral games instituted at Toulouse by Clemente Isaure in 1324, and argues in favour of the utility of founding similar academies in other parts of France, at all events that one should be created at Paris. In the second letter Rotrou congratulates the Cardinal for having approved of the idea which he suggested to him. Some other letters have been de scribed by this indefatigable litterateur from Rotrou to Corneille, in which he predicts the future re putation of the great poet. The Exhibition becomes more perfect and more wonderful every day. Among articles of luxury there is a fresh addition at the stand of Messrs. Mellero, which sparkles with sapphires, diamonds, and little things of that sort, which only a Roths child could buy. In a small jewel-case, only placed there a day or two ago, is a parure equally glitter ing and costly. In the centre is the famous dia mond " Itnpar," so named because there is no other in the world which can be compared with it as re gards shape, colour, and limpidity. The two ear ring ornaments in this parure are remarkable. The price marked upon this little trifle is 535,000 fr. Over whose shoulders this unique gem will eventu ally be placed it would be difficult to say, but there it is, and any one can have it for the money. It is in the accustomed category of Paris, fixed price, but perhaps they would take a shilling or two less. Some marble statues have recently arrived at the Exhibition from Rome, exhibited by the statuary Rosetti. One represents the Slave in the Market, the other Ingenuity. These statues are both ad mirable. Indeed, the statuary generally in the Italian department is remarkable for artistic execution. The Vienna Gazelle states that the present Mi nister of Finance, M. de Beebe, finds that the amount of deficit left by the Schmerling Ministry is of the formidable sum of 575 millions of florins. M. de Bache admits the difficulties of the position, but the resources of Austria are so improving, trade and commerce so universal, railways are so pros perous, and the people increase so much in intelli gence and enlightenment, that the Minister is con fident that he will be able to surmount all the finan cial obstacles opposed to him. The Memorial Diplomatique confirms the news that Admiral Tegethoff is formally charged with the mission of chiming the body of the Emperor Maxi milian. The Admiral will proceed first to the United States, and will reach Mexico under the auspices of President Johnson, as the route between Mexico and Vera Cruz presents dangers for foreigners. It is stated officially that the life of M. Dano, the Representative of France in Mexico, is in no danger, and that all the reports of the violent in tentions of Juarez are entirely without founda tion. There are reports in Paris of diplomatic changes. M. Benedetti, it is said, will leave Berlin simul taneously with the departure of M. de Goltz, the Prussian Minister from Paris. The death is announced of the reigning Prince Henry, of Reuss (younger branch), ant also of the Greek General Hahn, who w ag 2.liniotcr of King 0 ;ho. On the Bth December, the Pope will issue a Bull fixing the period for the meeting of the (Ecumenical Council. The assembly will commence its labours on the fete of the Immaculate Conception, in the year 1868. The King of the Belgians is now at Miramar, with the unfortunate Empress Charlotte. The Senate is occupied in discussing the law for the abolition of imprisonment for debt, respecting the issue of which great anxiety is felt in Paris. The stormy state of the atmosphere continues. There is a violent wind, and vast quant i ty of dust in the roads out of Paris, as to obscure the view across. It has, however, become warm again, with a slight rain occasionally. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Snipe, 5, screw gun vessel, 431 tons, 80 horse power, Commander henry A. Trollope, arrived at Spithead on Wednesday from the 'West Coast of Africa. The sailing I ndiaman Lady Melville arrived at Spit head on Wednesday from Calcutta, with troops on board in the subjoined strength, sailing from the Sandheads on March 24. She was towed into Ports month harbour yesterday to discharge the troops, the majority of whom, being invalids, were for warded to the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley :—Colonel Middleton, R.A., Lieutenant Wace, Assist.-Surg. Dunbar, 23d, Captain Iloggan (Bengal Cavalry), 126 invalided soldiers from various corps, 12 women, 18 children, and one time-expired soldier. The two Turkish steamers that were present at the inspection of the Spithead fleet on Wednesday sailed from Spithead yesterday morning to receive their armament on board previous to sailing for the Mediterranean. Th e purchase of these vessels has just been made by the representative s of the Turkish Government of a firm in Greenock. Both were built for running the blockade during the war be tween the Northern and Southern Statesof America, and their speed is stated to be 18 knots in smooth water. After receiving their armament and other stores on board they will immediately leave the Thames for the Mediterranean, and they will pro bably make their first appearance off the coasts of Candia in their new character as gunboats of the Turkish Navy on the look out for the Arkadi and other blockade runners in Turkish waters. The names of Vice- Admiral Sir Alexander Milne and Lord Henry Gordon Lennox were omitted from the list of persons in attendance on her Majesty on board the Royal yacht on the occasion of the review at Spithead on Wednesday last. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Staff-Comrnander R. P. Forbes, to the Formidable ; Li eut. J. M. M orr i s , t o the Royal Adelaide;`WilliamA. Stevens, assist.-pay master, to the Malabar ; David Acheson, assist.- paymaster, to the Minotaur ; Thomas F. Harrison, clerk, to the St. Vincent; and George Harry Miller nominated a naval cadet. DEATH OF MR. LEICESTER BUCKINGHADL—The death of Mr. Leicester Buckingham in his 42d year is re corded. When about twelve years old ho accompa nied hi s father, Mr. James Silk Buckingham, formerly M.P. for Sheffield, on a th ree y ears ' tour in the United States and Canada. From 18 to 1847 ho was secretary to the British and Foreign Institute, of which his father was the founder and resident director. Subsequently he paid a visit to America alone, and remained there a few years travellink through the States as a lecturer. His connexion with the theatrical world began at Paris about 1851 or 1852, when he held some post at the Royal Italian Opera under Mr. Lumley's management. On his return to England he gavo illustrated and descriptive lectures at the Polytechnic, Panopticon, and Egyptian Hall.

IRELAND, DUBLIN, July 18. . _ At the Clare Assizes Thomas Fennell was in dicted for treason-felony. Th e ac t s c h arge d against him were that he was one of a party who attacked the Coastguard station at Kilbehagh, near Kilrush, on the night of the sth of March. The Coastguards on duty refused to give up th eir arms in the name of the Irish Republic, and were about to arrest their assailants, when a person named De Lowry, not yet made amenable, drew a dagger and stabbed Wilmot, one of the guards, in several places. It was alleged that the prisoner was one of the parties who held Wilmot while the outrage was perpetrated. After this occurred the Coastguards fired on the Fenianii, wounding the prisoner, who was then easily cap tured. The Solicitor-General stated the case for the Crown. There was no informer in this case. Evidence was then given bearing out the statement made by the Solicitor -General. The case for the Crown having closed, Mr. Fitzgibbon addressed the jury in an able speech for the prisoner. A witness was then examined to show that be knew the priso ner, and that he did not see him at Kilbehagh on the night in question. Sergeant Barry having replied for the Crown, Judge Keogh charged the jury, who found a verdict of guilty. Sentence was deferred. At the Louth Assizes two persons named Fullam were found guilty of treason-felony, yesterday. The overt acts charged occurred at Drogheda. Con stable Steward Carroll, in reply to Mr. Joy, Q-C-0 stated that there were about 1,000 persons in the oro-rr3. IloaaT. tlxo ‘L obin o" of b.yonoto among them. He heard voices among them say, tt Fire, fire," also " Now's your time," and then some 15 shots were fired from the crowd. About 30 men of the insur gents were posted at an angle with the others, and facing the crowd. Witness knocked one of them down as he ran towards the Green-lane, and he ar rested Colligan as he ran. lie begged witness " not to shoot him." He brought Colligan to the barrack, and returned to the scene of the encounter, where the ammunition was found. Saw Luke Fullam lying on the ground, apparently dead, in the potato market. Other evidence having been given, Mr. Munroe addressed the jury for the prisoners. The Judge charged the jury at considerable length, ad after about two hou rs ' d e lib eration they brought i n n a verdict of guilty. Sentence was deferred. Three persons were put on their trial under the Whiteboy Act, as having formed part of the unlaw ful assembly in question. While the trial was pro ceeding, they were advised by their counsel to plead " guilty," which they did, and Mr. Justice O'llagan sentenced them to 12 months' imprison ment from the date of their committal. The person alleged to be " General" Fariola, a noted Fenian leader, who was arrested in London last week, has been brought over to this country, and was on Monday evening lodged in Kilmainham Prison. At Chancery-lane statior the prisoner gave his name as Leebhast, and positively denied that he had known or heard of Fariola. The informer Corydon was unable to identify him. It is stated that James Stephens had been in company with the prisoner shortly before his arrest. The action brought by the Lord Mayor of Dublin against the Dublin Evening Mail for a libel con tained in a letter signed by L ord Cloncurry, and published in that journal, has been tried at Ennis, county Clare. The letter was addreised to Lord Ilow th as Lieutenant of the county Dublin, and it stated that the writer would resign his office as Deputy-Lieutenant of the county, because Alder man Lane Joynt had been a p po i nted to a similar o ffice for the city in the room of the late Mr. Dargan. The defendants pleaded that the letter complained o f was no libel, and also an apology, &c., and lodged £5 in court. The damages were laid at £2,000. Scrjcant Barry stated the plaintiff's case, after which the Lord Mayor of Dublin was examined to prove that he read the libel, and as to the correspondence which passed between him and Lord Cloncurry's so licitors, Messrs. Barrington and Jeffers. A tele gram states that the action terminated yesterday in a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £5O. A similar action against the Cork. Constitution has been settled, the defendant to pay the costs and apologise. The paddle steamer Rose, from Sligo to Glasgow, was wrecked on Tuesday night between Sligo and Killibegs. A number of lives, chiefly poor female emigrants, ham been lost; several bodies have been washed ashore. Th ere was a l arge quanti t y of live stock on board. It is said that the boilers burst. A correspond en t of :the Daily Express, w h o supplies this intelligence, adds that the screw steamer Sligo was sent down this morning to the wreck by Messrs. Middleton and Pollexfen, the local agents of the steam packet company to whom the Rose belonged, ror the purpose of reaching the vessel, but the screw boat could not get alongside. EXTRAORDINARY LOW-WATER IN TIIE THAMES.- Yesterday morning, at low tide, the water in the Thames had receded so much that the channels ordinarily used by barges and light craft were left nearly dry, and it was with great difficulty that the fairway channel could be navigated by the river steamboats without grounding, particularly the channel on the east side of Westminster and Waterloo Bridges. This is attributable to the strong gale and the velocity of the ebb spring-tido current. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT AN IRONSTONE MINE.- On Wednesday morning, at the Itockley Main Ironstone Mine, belonging to Messrs. Cooper and Co., whilst a cage containing ironstone was being drawn up the shaft, a cylinder connected with the drawing engine suddenly ex ploded. Owing to the explosion the engineman was un able to stop the engine, and the cage and corves fell down the shaft with a heavy crash. The weight of the descend ing corves drew the empty chair and corves which were in the shaft into the headgear, thus cutting off the com munication with (9 men who wore at work iu the mine. The mor were, however, rescued one at a time and drawn to bank—an operation which lasted fully six hours. No one was seriously injured, but the damage to the pit and machinery is considerable.

(Signed) RoULAND. MR. BRIGHI AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, Thursday Night. A meeting called by the friends of Mr. Dixon, the candidate in the Liberal interest, was held in the Town -ball here to-night, the purpose being to hear an address from Mr. Bright. There was an immense assemblage ; not an available space was left. Mr. Bright entered afc w minutes after seven o'clock. He was accompanied by Mr. Alderman W iggin (who took the chair) and most of the leaders of the Liberal party in the borough. Mr. BRIGHT, who was received with many rounds of applause, commenced his speech by paying a graceful tribute to the character of Mr. Scholefield, lamenting the loss which he as well as the town bad sustained by his death. He expressed a hope that in relation to the coming contest no elector would shrink from showing his adherence to those prin ciples of which Mr. Scholefield was so distinguished a representative. He reminded his audience that they were the sons of the men who had carried the bill of 1832, and urged the present consti tuency not to forsake the cause which had made the town famous. He discussed the circumstances connected with the various Reform Bills which had been introduced to Parliament. That of Lord Russell's Government, introduced by Mr. Glad stone, had been met by every form of personal animosity. Lord Derby came into power to stem the tide of democracy, and the result had been conversion from the tremendous perils of a .S 7 franchise to household suffrage. There was iything to equal that since the hnnqta were said to have entn mittted suicide to save themselves from slaughter. He described the Tory party as wrong, perverse, and intractable. Every good measure was opposed by them so long as it was safe to oppose it. When that position became no longer tenable all opposi tion suddenly collapsed. Such had been the case in respect to the Roman Catholic Emancipation of 1829, and of the repeal of the corn laws. They saw starvation staring a portion of the population iu the face, and a famine in Ireland ; but it was only after immense agitation that they discovered the corn laws were bad. The same Tory party had now passed a Reform Bill admitting working men to the suffrage in greater numbers than had ever been contemplated in any bill introduced to Parliament by any party. Hereafter the Tories would show the same persistent and unchangeable resistance to every improvement. When the Speaker the other night put the final question that the bill be read a third time, not one—the very faintest—cheer issued from the lips of one of those who sat on the Tory side. The bill was, in fact, the child—the offspring of the ambition of one man. He had never heard from that party one word of kindly sympathy for those to whom the bill proposed to give the franchise ; but, from what was rumoured in refe rence to the course about to be taken by the other branch of the Legislature, the bill was likely to be come the law of the land. The whole question as to the amount of good it might bring about to the country depended on the future, and on whether constituencies like this exercised their powers with wisdom and fidelity. The voter must have the shelter of the ballot, and he recommended Reform Leagues to continue their organisation until that was obtained. The hon. gentleman discussed at length the Irish question and the Irish Church, and went on to remark that hitherto everything of a Liberal tendency that had been carried out had been done by the towns ; they had had little help, from the counties. That must be remedied by future legislation. Passing to the contest going on, he said Birmingham occupieda proud position in 1832, Man chester in 1846, Birmingham again in 1867. The town had again to speak, and must answer before many days were over. Let them now return the right man to Parliament, showing that the consti tuency was faithful to the principles it had ever pro. fessed. In allusion to the objections which had been raised to his taking a part in the contest, he said that his own interest in the result was direct and overwhelming. No man's was so great in the return of the Liberal candidate. They owed to him (he said) allegiance to their own principles, and for the manner in which he had endeavoured to enforce them. Was he to be only nominally their represen tative—was his authority to be struck down by yoking him to a colleague whose vote would de stroy the force of his? Better far that he should cease to be their representative, or retire from Par liament, than that he should be content to sit, and speak, and vote with a divided and enfeebled autho rity. He gathered from their cheers what the ver diet of Birmingham would be in this contest, but he should indeed despair of his country if this town, which had so long held a foremost place among Liberal constituencies, should fall away from the principles itiliad so long professed. (Loud cheering.) He implored them to give him a colleague with whom he could act in harmony, as he did with Mr. Scholefield, for the welfare of that great community and the country, in the defence and maintenance of those principles which he believed to be inseparable from the happiness and grandeur of the country. The hon. gentleman, who spoke for an hour, sat down amid many rounds of applause. A vote was passed in favour of Mr. Dixon. The contest is becoming extremely hot, and the town is in an excited state. DRESS OF TIIE FRENCH INFANTRY.—The Eten dard announces that the French Government has decided to revert, in great part, to the old style of uniform for the infantry. The short tunic will be replaced by one having ampler skirts reaching to the knees, with pockets behind. Tho trousers will be without folds or braiding, and bo supplied with pockets. Tho head-dross will be a casquotte with a large peak. The reason for the change is the alleged superior healthiness, comfort, and eleganee of the old uniform, lIER MAJESTY, &c. OSBORNE, July 18. Her Majesty and the Royal family, with the exception of their Royal Highnesses Prince Arthur and Prince Louis of llesse, who accompanied the Sultan back to Portsmouth, returned to Osborne yesterday afternoon at half-past five o'clock, after the naval review.

His Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, attended by Raghib Pasha and Major-General F. Seymour, C. 8., visited the Sultan at Buckingham Palace this afternoon, when his Highness took leave of his Imperial Majesty on his departure from England. His Highness left soon after for Dover. Later in the day his Royal Highness Prince Louis of Hesse, attended by Captain von AVesterweiller, visited his Imperial Majesty. His Imperial Highness Youssouff Izzeden Effendi, attended by Ahmed Bey, Salim Bey, and Colonel Hon. A. Liddell, drove out in a carriage and four to the Crystal Palace, and afterwards visited the Thames Tunnel. Shortly before seven o'clock his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, accompanied by the Imperial Princes, and attended by the principal members of his suite, as well as by the gentlemen specially appointed by the Queen to attend on his Imperial Majesty, went in state to Guildhall, to be present at the grand en tertainment given by the Lord Mayor and Corpora tion of the City of London. The great officers of State of her Majesty's house hold were in attendance at Buckingham Palace on his Imperial Majesty's departure to the City. Tho Royal Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard lined the ball and staircase of the Palace as the Imperial party passed to their carriages. A guard of honour of the Scots Fusilier Guards was mounted in the court of the Palace, and an escort of the Royal Horse Guards accompanied the Imperial procession (consisting of ten of the Queen's carriages, with the servants in State liveries) from the Palace to Guildhall. The band of the First Life Guards, under the direction of Mr. J. Waterson, was in attendance at the Palace this morning, and played the following selection of music : Overture, "Don Giovanni" Mozart. Fantasia, " Crown Diamonds" Auber. Walzer, " Amoretten Tanz " Gung'l.

The Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, and attended by Baroness Schenck, Hofmarshal von Westerweiller, General Sir William Knollys, Viscount Hamilton, lion. C. Wool, and Captain Ellis, was present at the Lord Mayor's entertainment to the Sultan at the Guildhall. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards went to the Belgian Volunteer Ball, at the Agricultural Hall, Islington. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will give a grand entertainment to his Imperial Majesty the Sultan this evening at Gloucester House. M. and Madame Van de Weyer had a dinner party on Monday, consisting of the Bishop of Massachu setts, Lord and Lady Wensleydale, Dean of IVestminster, and Lady Augusta Stanley, Mr. and Hon, Mrs. Lowther, Mr. and Miss Helps, Mr. and Mrs. Walrond, Mr. Motley, and Mr. Boltzmann. ROYAL AGRItITLTURAL SOCIETY. BURY ST. EDMUNDS, Thursday. In the class of blood stallions the two prize animals, Capt. Barlow 's False Alarm and Mr. Donald's Scottish Chief, continue to attract much notice. Some think there is more of the true hunting stamp about Scottish Chief than is to be met with in the other. The agri cultural horses come in for an unwearied amount of criticism from the men of Suffolk, who are especially proud of their Punches, albeit their strength is developed even to clumsiness. As regards the Southdown sheep classes, the fact appears to have been overlooked that Lord Sondes received one or two commendations, although the bulk of the hon ours were borne away by Sir W. Throckmorton of Berkshire and Lord Walsingham. The Oxford Downs make a pretty good show ; they are chiefly contributed from Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, and Norfolk. Of the black-faced Suffolk sheep Mr . Dobits, of Ledgate, again appears as the devoted adherent. The Horticultural Exhibition continues open, and has attracted a large share of public patronage. The magnificent collection of flower: , , fruits, a n d rare plants comprises a New Zealand curiosity, the " Lattree plant ;" it is embedded in water and has only skeleton leaves. The Botanic Gardens into which one passes from the horticultural show have been illuminated every evening. The attendance to-day was large, but not up to the mark of the corresponding day at Plymouth , and there appears no reason now to doubt that the general receipts at Bury St. Edmunds will be much less than those realised at the great West of Eng and gathering. Thus on Monday the amount taken at the gates was about £225 as compared with £2G6 at Plymouth ; on Tuesday, £557 as com pared with £595 at Plymouth ; and yesterday , £985 as compared with £2,159 at Plymouth. VP to noon to-day the show had been visited by 21,05 4 persons, and during the next two hours it was roughly estimated that 4,000 or 5,000 more persons had passed through the turnstiles. The Plymouth Thursday, however, showed au attendance of 42,940, and a receipt of £2,147. To-morrow is the last day of the exhibition, and a general meeting of the members of the society will be held in the morning in the show-yard. ALLIANCE BANK (LIMITED). MEETING THIS DAY. The usual half-yearly general meeting of this company was held to-day at the London Tavern, Mr. M. 11. Chayler, the chairman, presiding. From the report it appeared that the receipts for the past half-year, deducting bad debts, necessary expenses, and other disbursements, amounted to £17,055 Bs. 4d. The directors recommended the payment of a dividend at the rate of 7s. 6d. per share, or at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, referred to the serious depreciation of the property, arising from the state of the money markets during the past year, and said that when he last addressed the meeting he told the shareholder s that the restoration of the bank would be tedious operation. his object was to state everything in a; straightforward manner. No doubt there were discouraging circumstances connected with the past half-year, but the quantity, ' l° well as quality, of their London buslee B3 had been increased, and the reason they could not show more profits for the past year was that it discontinued business in case where the assets were not examined. lie stated 1 3 is firm convictio n i n th e s t a bility a nd ultimate pre ° perity of the bank. Mr. ATKINSON seconded the motion. An amendment proposing an inquiry was ree . v,.. , eci and seconded, but, after a long discussion, virlti" drawn. The other business was then transacted, and the proceedings terminated.
