In reply to the Speech from the Throne the Baden Upper Chamber have sent an address which is likely just now to attract interest, because German matters are by no means settled so completely as certain parties would have us believe they are. Even in this address, which purports to make the best of it, and seems resolved only to see with the KING'S eyes, and to hear with the KING'S ears, some intimations are given that all is not so success ful as might be desired. The most faithful Estates accord the fullest assent to the ex pressions used by his MAJESTY in his speech, and they look with courage and confidence to the future development of the reorganisation of Germany. At the same time, it is admitted that the " decisive events" of last year have imposed heavy trials and sacrifices upon the country, and great universal exertion is still required of them. We never heard of a change so much talked of as a great moral and social and political benefit that en tailed so many hardships upon those who were supposed to gain by it, and was so long in effecting any of the remedial influences ascribed to it. The " political regeneration" of the German Fatherland is no doubt a grand idea, but the aues tion is how to put it into execution, and to carry out to the fullest extent the meaning of it in its best and most comprehensive sense. Opinions may differ as to the most likely means to employ, but it ought not to take long to find out that the end will not be gained by the arbitrary mode employed by Prussia. Her exclusive notions do not admit of the development of individual or even of general freedom, and there can be no regeneration worthy of the name, while these restrictive rules obtain sway and check all progress. II Nether or not the small States of Germany would have been happier, stronger, and more consolidated if they had been joined together, is a question open to conside ration, but very probably they might have been. Their position in that case would have been very different from what it now is, crushed and weighea down as they are by the burden of arbitrary, if not of absolute, authority. In this address a wish is expressed that the pro posed junction of the country with the North Ger man Confederation should take place, and the King's determination in that line has, it is added, a just claim upon their full support. " The poli tical and commercial disasters of the past, and a deep sense of the position of the present, warn us willingly to make the necessary sacrifices so far as they lie in our power." Perhaps they may find out too late that the remedy is worse than the evil, and that they had better have remained in a state of partial disquietude than have agreed too ' hastily to make so momentous a change. It is worthy of note that in this address, which so completely responds to the sentiments of the Speech from the Throne, we find interspersed, here and there, some rather ominous assertions, as, for instance, when we meet with the remark that the tranquillity of the German nation will not be restored until means have been found to complete the connection between the North and South German States, and to furnish thus to the German people the conditions of peace and prosperity. Now the world at large has been given to understand, for some time past, that Germany was in possession of internal peace. This was the language of the Berlin official press, and of those statesmen who profess to have a gene ral knowledge of affairs. Nor will Europe, it is here mentioned, arrive at the conviction of secure peace until the " reorganisation of Germany on both sides of the Maine shall have been accomplished." Thereupon follows an epitome of the necessary con ditions for the union of Germany, and the account is certainly a correct one, but the drawback is that they are not likely to be realised under existing cir cumstances. "The union of Germany is identical with the observance of natural right, respect for popular liberty, the peaceful progress of civilisation, and the necessary restriction of all policy of con quest." But that the egotism and self-sufficiency of the Berlin Governmant can allow them to credit anything, and to make things appear exactly the contrary to what they are, we might really fancy that they would take this as a satire upon their proceedings, for is,,it not diametrically opposed to the whole course which they have pur sued, and the policy which they wish to prosper ? First c,f all, we may well ask where is the respect for popular liberty, and where is the observance of natural right in the Govern- meat of King WILLIAM, and what security can any State that is going to Prussia have for the preser vation of their rights and the furtherance of their prosperity. It is really vexatious to find so much trouble taken and time wasted over words and phrases, while the real meaning of what they express is so far off and unattainable. We find a great deal that is true in itself in this these addresses, but then it is not true in relation to those it concerns. Germany has no doubt many high aspirations after national re generation ; but it is sad to think that she is a long way off from realising them, for Prussia can never turn out a benefactor to any State or province that is put under her control. JOSEPH SURFACE is not, it would seem, without his modern imitators ; and it must be a great satis faction to our modern moralists to fiad that the Manchester Brickmakers' Union have so keen a sense of what is right and proper that a member is fined twopence for swearing ! It is no wonder that the Secretary of so well-mannered an asso ciation should find his refined feelings so deeply hurt by the unceremonious conduct of the Com missioners that he should destroy a book on which they desired to lay their profane hands. The newly elected Secretary, HENRY GREEN, said that on Saturday night, the 7th, after the court's officers had seized their boxes and safes, he was so disgusted that he put the cash-box in the fire. "If they had come like gentlemen and asked for it, it would have been given with pleasure." How grievous was the mistake of these rough and unceremonious officials ! They were evidently quite unfit for the company with which chance compelled them to associate, and they acted as though the law empowered them to confiscate the property of suspected criminals and conspirators, instead of politely requesting gentle men of refined manners and undoubted respec tability to favour them with the inspection of some necessary statistics. This rash and heed less conduct on their part is the more to be regretted, since we have in consequence lost the chance of acquiring some valuable information. A new code of morals might have been unfolded to our view, and we should have learned the money value of our sins and of our virtues. An oath we know costs twopence. The hamstringing of a neighbour's horse, the firing of a stable, the throw ing of bottles charged with naphtha at sleeping women and children, have various degrees of value in the scale of that virtue which does not find its only reward in bread. Then there aro other degrees of praiseworthy endeavour, such as breaking tools, putting needles in the clay, and poisoning fruit. It would have been satisfactory to the uninitiated to ascertain the respective merits of these several acts, and the degree of immediate pecuniary recompense which a body of competent and high-mindco. judges thought proper to award. On some occasions the severity of justice is relaxed, and grievous offenders; are treated with merciful indulgence. A master brickmaker at Dukinfield committed the direful offence of employing non-union men. This, as we know, was a crime deserving of capital punishment, but his sentence was commuted as follows :—" In 1862 em ployed non-union men. Had 50,000 or 60,000 bricks destroyed. Had complained of the work, and a meeting of men fined him £5. Had stopped work, and thrown up his contract in 1860 and 1861 through fines of this kind. In 1864 he had a horse stabbed in the stable, but did not know it was done by union men. The union men had been very lenient to him." Upon being questioned a little tore cl, mely by the Commissioner, the representa th 'e of _English law as opposed to the equity of Trades I Inioaism, this witness explained that he meant tb at he had a great deal of property ex. posed' which - was not destroyed. Mr( hear - a great deal in times of war and danger of the eourr Lge and endurance of the English people, and the: - readiness with which they pass from the pursuits. .of peace to the risks and hardships of war is often, . commented upon. But it seems that the moat earl inary affairs of life demand the same qua- Ham as a campaign. The attempt to break through ordiwar y rules is a forlorn hope, and the dan gers .and sufferings incidental to what seem very pacific and homely callings may rank with the revelations of the military hospitals after a desperate action. A soldier knows his risks and carries his life in his hand ; but even he invariably prefers active service in the field to waiting in the trenches, or in any other position in which the enemy may take them unawares at any moment. But the brickmakers and other offenders against the union are constantly in this position. A man goes to his work and finds his tools broken ; he looks at the door of his shed and sees a threat to take his life. He begins working at his bricks and finds the clay full of nails and needles. He walks home through the fields and sees apples lying in his path; he cuts them open, luckily for him, and finds traces of poison. He goes to bed, and bottles crash through his windows, or fires break out on his pre mises. The consequence of all this is that masters and men get cowed. The Union works by relays, but the victims are perpetually on the rack. It is not the same men who watch the offender going to and fro who break in at night, and haunt him wherever he goes, but it is the same man who is subjected to the constant strain. The conse quence is that masters and men alike give way. It needs a very remarkable degree of endurance and determinaion to hold out against this sort of intangible danger year after year, and few are capable of it. The masters give up contracts, and sometimes, as in the case of Mr. ITIBBERT, give up the business which is the ground of offence alto gether. The men submit to a system of dictation which is almost intolerable, and both sides subscribe for the maintenance of a system which they alike feel to be grinding, unjust, and oppressive. The further these inquiries go on the more startling become the revelations, not because the crimes brought to light are so much greater, but because the evil is of such vast extent. When the Sheffield atrocities were first brought to light there was an outcry among the friends of Trades Unions against the injustice of blaming the system for the particular offences of individuals in a particular locality. But no one can pretend that Manchester men are not fully up to the average in intelligence, in knowledge of the world, in all that is gained by contact with their fellows. No doubt every one of the men who have given their evidence before the commission would, if they had attended a public meeting, have cheered loudly the praises of free trade, and have applauded to the echo any perora tion about the high standing and public spirit of English working men. There is something to be learnt at Manchester as well as at Sheffield, and we strongly apprehend something to be learned in the other great centres of industry, if these inquiries are extended in new directions. • The Oxfordshire members have been discussing upon public affairs, and Col. NORTH delivered a very interesting speech, much to the purpose, and which was well received by those present. The annual gathering of the Thames Agricultural and Horti cultural Societies was the occasion that called the the Colonel together.NOßTH responding the to theAbyssinian toast for expedition, an d sa id th a t h e was cer t a i n no alluded to Englishman would think that we were doing wrong in entering upon the campaign, because the unfortunate captives had been badly treated in the first instance, and when the QUEEN had sent a gentleman to intercede for them the barbarian KING put him in prison also. In reverting to public affairs generally, the gallant Colonel said that some subjects authorised them to depart from their rule not to trespass upon political matters. Reform had been talked of year after year, but nothing decisive had been done until this session. Lord DERBY had been called to account for saying that they had taken a leap in the dark ; but, as Colonel NORTH truly added, who can tell exactly what may be the consequences of the measure until it has been fairly tried. " Lord DERBY felt he could trust to the good sense of the people, and he was sure that his lordship would not be disappointed." Further on the speaker turned his attention to the strictures made against himself and others who had " turned their coats." This had not been done for any personal advantage, and all the alterations they had made were be cause they acted upon their convictions, and sought what was best for the country. Col. -.PANE also spoke, and stated that, personally, he was himself against Reform, but that the House bad acted in accordance with Mr. HENLEY'S advice. "If you pass a bill, pass one that will go the whole hog." He, however, hoped, with Colonel NORTH, that now the measure had become law, it would prove to be a satisfactory and a successful one. A most entertaining speech was made by Mr. HODSON, who declared that " Radicalism and Conservatism was very much alike, particularly Conservatism ;" but he trusted that the recent union that had taken place between them might conduce to the good of the country, and that the spread of education might " qualify every one to make the best use of the faculties which the ALMIGHTY had given them." CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The following is the news of the Moniteur : " The Emperor and Empress of Austria, accom panied by the ex-Queen of Naples, arrived, on Fri day evening at Munich, on their return from Swit zerland. Their Majesties were received at the station by the Duchess, wife of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, and mother of the affianced bride of King Louis the Second. The Emperor was to meet King Louis the Second yesterday at Fossenhosfen. His Apostolic Majesty was expected to-day (SuLday) at hail. "To judge by the unanimity of the language of the Vienna journals, the negociations which re cently took place between the Ministers of Finance of Austria and Hungary have been brought to a satisfactory conclusion. 'ihe matter in question is to regulate the various points connected with the division of the public debt between the Empire and the Transleithan kingdom. " A telegram has brought the news of an amnesty granted by the Sultan to the inhabitants of the island of Crete. According to the decision made at Constantinople, every individual who, compro mised by late events, shall return home and deliver up his arms, will enjoy security and protection. A delay which will expire on the 20th of October is awarded to the foreign volunteers to leave Candia on board ships, whether foreign or Turkish. The natives who wish to leave the country with their families are authorised to do so, on condition that they shall give up all they possess in the island, and on undertaking not to return to it without having THE SUN. LO.N.DOIV ? MONDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 16, 1867. previously obtained authority from the Turkish Government. The Sultan's troops will continue to be charged with the maintenance of the public tranquillity, and all proceedings against foreign or native volunteers will be suspended unless there should be any aggression on their part." In addition to the above the Illontieur publishes an imperial decree announcing the postal convention concluded on the 29th November between France and Greece. According to this convention the postage of letters to and from France and Algeria to Greece is fixed at 12 sous for each prepaid letter, and 16 sous for each letter not paid for a weight of 10 grammes, or fraction of 10 grammes. (There are seven grammes and a-half in a quarter of an ounce.) Printed matter, patterns, catalogues, Sze., may be sent for a postage of 12 centimes per 40 grammes, but pre payment is obligatory. Letters may be registered in each country. The dissensions, violence, and stormy procedings of the Geneva Peace Congress occupy the journals more than might have been supposed. They form the subject of long and caustic polemics. The Con gress for the moment has more prominence than the proceedings of the Reichstag of the Confedera tion of the North, which, however, arc of consider able importance. It is stated that the Assembly will not vote an address in answer to the speech of the King of Prussia, but that a great many deputies will ask questions of the Mi nisters relative to the course they intend to adopt in regard to foreign Powers, and the attitude they will assume upon the German question. Various reports are in circulation in Paris as to the probable tenour of the replies which will be made by M. Bismark. The " men of confidence" of the Duchies of the Elbe are still occupied with arranging the internal organisation and the administrative divisions of Schleswig Holstein. The Prussian Minister of the Interior, M. Eulenberg, presides over the mem bers, among whom are men of considerable note, including the President-in-Chief of the Duchies, M. de Scheel-Plessau, the director of the Ministry of the Interior, M. de Klutzen, and Councillor Wolf. It is natural to imagine that politicians of such note in Prussia will exercise considerable influence over the assembly of these " men of confidence," a majority of whom, however, are partisans of the autonomy of the Duchies. Count Eulenberg, in the first instance, presented a proposal swuibdthiv the subdivided island into nd of ehomto them to divid e th e i r territory into two govern mental circumscripti ons, th at S c hl esw i g s h ou ld b e eight circles,,eru into eleven circles. Various projects are being prepared respecting the communal constitution and the provincial constitution of the Duchies of the Elbe. Some politicians are sanguine enough to anticipate that, under the auspices of such an assembly, the Duchies will be as free and as happy as they were under the rule of Denmark. On the other hand, however, a strong impression prevails that such a happy consummation would be impos sible under Prussian domination. In addition to this great disappointment is felt by the lovers of freedom and good faith, that no communication has yet been made to the assembly relative to the im portant point involved in the execution of Article 5 of the Treaty of Prague. As was naturally to be expected, the Paris papers record a vast number of casualties from the thunder storm of Friday morning, but no loss of life took place, nor has there been any serious injury. The storm is generally spoken of as the most terrific of modern times. Paris was almost inundated with the rain, and the lightning struck an immense number of buildings. A very singular circumstance is mentioned. A man and his wife were going to the halle with a cart filled with vegetables for sale, and while proceeding along the boulevard St. Michel the cart was seen to osc ill a t e w ith great violence. A sparkling meteor played around the cart and dazzled the eyes of all who were near it. Both hus band and wife became insensible, but they soon recovered, and it was found that they had not re ceived any injury. The cart, however, had been overturned, and, the horse being released from the shafts, galloped away. The harness was broken into fragments, some of which were precipitated to a distance of 12 yards or more. An English sailor belonging to a vessel in the port of Antwerp is subject to fits of somnambulism. A few nights ago he left his ship and took a walk about the town in very primitive costume ; in fact, he had nothing on but his shirt. Being seen by some workmen they wished to t a k e hi m b ack safely, but the somnambulist thinking they wanted to rob him at first showed fight, and put himself in the attitude of an English boxer. With some trouble, however, they awoke him from his sleep, and he was glad to regain his ship as speedily as possible. The Zouave Jacob has been released from prison. He says that the hard work of attending to so many patients for several weeks so fatigued him that he slept for 48 hours. On Friday evening he played on the saxhorn at a concert given at Versailles to a regiment about to leave that town. He t t an icipa es a discharge from the service i mmediately, and should he not obtain it he intends to suspend his consulta tions until the time he has to se rve s h a ll exp i re. Very brilliant offers continue to be made to him. He is now quite a celebrity at Versailles. When ever he appears there is a salute for him, and some of the leading persons of Versailles exhibit a desire to form his acquaintance. IT does not go ten steps without being saluted by twenty persons. The belief in his power to cure diseases seems to increase, at all events, at Versailles. Berezowski, the Pole, who attempted to assassi nate the Emperor of Russia, has arrived at the hulks at Toulon. Immediately on his arrival the dress of the cellular prison was exchanged for that worn by convicts condemned to hard labour for life, with a red waistcoat and a green cap. The blacksmith of the prison rivetted to his left ancle a heavy iron ring, to which the chain of the c onv i cts i s attached. He preserves his usual indifference and calmness. The wound on his left hand is completely cured. In answer to a question, he said the injuries were cured in three weeks, chiefly by cold water. He will be sent to New Caledonia next month on board the Imperial ship the Fleures. M. Jolly Mellon, Archbishop of Sens, has been appointed canon of the first order at the Imperial Chapter of St. Denis. He was appointed to the Archbishopric of Sens on the 19th of November, 1843. The Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean Railway Company are about to open the following new lines :—From Mouseau les Mines to Digoin, from Autun. Montchanin to Etan g and Nevers, and from Etang Early this morning the weather was that of late autumn. There was a very cold wind, and in some localities a slight frost. Towards mid-day, however, the sun, which did not show much before that time, became excessively hot, but clouds and wind indi cate more storms. According to present appear ances and weather prophets, we should soon pre pare ourselves for the appearance of the " last rose of summer." The price of admission to the Exhibition is , I believe, about to b e reduced from a franc t o h a lf a franc. MISS BATEMAN.--The patrons of the legitimate drama have lea rne d with much grat ifi ca ti on th a t this young and hi g h ly accomplished American trage di enne has decided on ma k ing a tournee in this country prev i ous to her retirement into private life. Miss Bateman left Now York on Wednesday, the 10th, by one of the Cunard Packet steamers, and is expected to arrive at Liverpool about the 27th. She is announced to make her rentrce in , her great part of Leah, at the Theatre-Royal of that city, on the 7th of October. Miss Bateman is an immense favourite with Liverpool audiences, and her re-appearance will no doubt create the greatest possible interest and ex citement. The fair actress, we hear, on her tourne through the United Kingdom, intends playing a round of Shake sperian characters —an intention which cannot fail to in finitely gratify her numerous friends and admirers. After the eminent success she achieved as Juliet in " Romeo and Juliet," at Her Majesty's Theatre last year, there can be no question as to the result.

VALETTA, Sept. 9.—By the Marseilles mail, ar rived on Saturday night, I have received letters from the squadron to Aug. 28. The Caledonia, and the rest of the ships sailing under the command of Lord C. Paget, remained at Spezzia until the 21st, when they sailed at G p.m. for Porto Ferrajo, in the island of Elba. The Tyrian joined them from Villa franca just as they were weighing, and brought the mails and despatches to Aug. 16, with several pas sengers. Spezzia was very healthy when the ships left. General leave was given to all the crews, and they conducted themselves very well. Many of them visited Pisa, Florence, and other places of interest. An unfortunate man named Baxter, belonging to the Prince Consort, was killed by falling over the rocks near San Vincenzo. He was a most sober, steady man, and all his money was found on him. He was decently interred by the authorities of the place. On the 22d the squadron practised at a target, the Commander-in-Chief shifting the flag temporarily to the Tyrian to witness the exercise, after which she was sent in to Porto Ferrago. The squadron kept at sea until the 27th, and anchored in the evening. The Tyrian was to leave on the 28th for Villafranca with the mails. The Psyche was expected on the 29th from Villafranca with the mails. The squadron were in perfect health, and as they have not visited any infected port, it is hoped they will not meet with any difficulty in obtaining pratique at Malta on their return about the end of October, otherwise they will winter in some other port. lam happy to state that no fresh cases of sickness have occurred among the 14th Regiment since my last report. The public health generally continues satisfactory, with the exception of one or two cases of cholera within the last 48 hours. Deputy Commissary-Gen. H. B. Morse returned to Malta in the Delta, having been telegraphed for by the Governor. Major-Gen. Atherley left on the same day in the Tanjore for Southampton. The tug Prompt, of 52 tons, arrived here on the Bth inst. from Glasgow, Lisbon, and Gibraltar, bound for Alexandria, for service connected with the Abys sinian expedition. The following notice was posted at Woolwich on Saturday, notifying an increase of pay to the artificers of the fleet, as follows :-" The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have been pleased to announce that the rates of pay have been in creased as underneath, to consecutive and non-con secutive service men :-Chief carpenters' mates, 3s. and 2s. 9d. per day ; plumbers, 3s. and 2s. 9d. ; carpenters' mates, 2s. 9.1. and 2s. 6d. ; caulkers, 2s. 9d. and 2s. 6d ; first class painters, 2s. 9d. and 2s. 6d. ; plumbers' mates, 2s. sd. and 2s. 2d. ; coopers, 2s. 3d. and 2s. ; caulkers' mates, 28. 3d. and 2s. ; shipwrights, 2s. 3d. and 2s. ; and plumbers' crews, is.

Six runs under full-boiler power produced a true mean speed of 13.496, and four runs under half-boiler power 11.777. The trial was considered in all respects satisfactory. The condition of the distilling apparatus and of the engine-room telegraph was good. Load on the safety-valve, 31.281 b ; pressure of steam in boilers—full power, 28•llb ; half power, 301 b ; vacuum in condensers—for ward, full power, 26in. ; half power, 26.81 in.; aft, full power, 26in. ; half power, 27-81 in. ; number of revolutions of engines--maximum, full power, 63.8 ; half power, 53 ; mean, full power, 63.327 ; half power, 52.521. The mean pressure iu the cylinders under full power was 19.9, and under half power 14.6 ; the indicated horse-power under full power was 6,706 Lorses, and half power, 4,080 horses. The temperature at 9.30 a.m. was— on deck 66 degs., in the engine -room 73 degs., in the fore part of stokehole 87 degs., middle 100 degs., and after part 85 degs. ; at 11 a.m., deck 68 degs., engine -room 70 degs., in the fore part of the stoke hole 100 degs., middle 108 dcgs., and after part 85 degs. The trial was made under the inspection of the officers of the Steam Reserve in Hainoaze, the engineers of Keyham, and the shipwrights from Devonport yard. The manufacturers of the engines were represented by Mr. Henry Warriner. Mr. Francis J. Lory, secretary to the Commo dore Superintendent of Woolwich, beittg absent on sick leave, the duties of the Woolwich yard are performed by Mr. Charles A. Cole, assistant secretary. Her Majesty's 2-gun iron storeship Hesper, 808 tons and 150 horse power, 11 years and three months on the China station, having been brought home by Staff Commander James C. H. Thain, was on Saturday paid out of commission at Wool wich, and will be placed in the third class steam reserve. The consecutive service men and those who entered their names for future service were granted 42 days' leave to visit their friends, with a continuance of pay. The ship's machinery is still in good condition, but the boilers are completely worn out. Her Majesty's ship Supply, Staff Commander Charles Bawden, from the Mediterranean, on par ticular service, having discharged her war stores at the Royal Arsenal at Woclwieh, went up to the dockyard to return naval stores, and was taken into basin for that purpose on Saturday. The old 60 gun steamship Meeanee, 2,591 tons, and 400 horse power, brought up to Woolwich from Sheerness, having had her engines removed, was on Saturday uudocked. She is intended to be prepared for hospital accommodation on the China station. The screw steam tender Sandi'ly, at Devonport, having been found unseaworthy, has been con demned. She will be placed to-day in Keyham yard for the purpose of removing her engines. The crew will be paid off on Friday. The repairs of the screw steamship Lion, 60, Capt. J. M. Hayes, C. 8., are complete, and she would have left Plymouth last week for the North Coast of Ireland but for the state of the weather. The departure of the frigate Liffey from Ply mouth is postponed. The screw steam gun vessel Jaseur, 5, from Sheerness, arrived on Saturday at Plymouth to have some defects made good prior to departure for the West Coast of Africa. The screw steam storeship Fox, 2, Staff Com mander H. A. Moriarty, C. 8., from Pembroke, arrived on Saturday evening at Plymouth. The Orontes screw troopship, Capt.

The captain's naval pension of £BO a year, vacant by the promotion of Capt. John Reeve, R.N., on the Ist of July last, has been granted from that date to Capt. William Howat. The lieutenant's naval pension of £5O a year, vacant by the death of Commander Richard N. -Williams, reserved list, on the 27th of August last, has been granted from that date to Commander Aaron Stark Symes, R.N., on the retired list. The funeral of Lieut. James Jameson Robertson, Royal Engineers, Assistant Instructor in Field Fortifications at the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, who was accidentally drowned during a sailing yacht match between the officers of the Royal Engineers in Chatham Harbour, was cele brated on Saturday afternoon, with full military honours. The funeral cortege was formed at Brompton Barracks at two o'clock, shortly after which hour the procession started from the barrack square, passing beneath the Crimean Memorial Arch, for the place of interment, at Gillingham Cemetery. In advance of the procession was the firing party, with arms reversed and in open column. The body of the deceased officer was conveyed to the cemetery on a funeral car drawn by six horses, the shako, sword, and medals of the deceased being placed on the coffin above the pall, which was borne by six officers of the same rank as the deceased. Immediately in front of the cars were the bands of the Royal Engineers and the Royal Marines Light Infantry, with muffled drums and their instruments draped in crape, the bands playing at intervals, with fine effect, the " Dead March," from Saul, and other appropriate music. After the body was led the charger belonging to the deceased, followed by the relations, friends, and other mourners on foot. The battalion of Royal Engineers next followed, under the command of Col. Fitzroy Somerset, succeeded by nearly the whole of the officers belonging to the various corps in the garrison, together with those connected with the civil departments, the whole numbering about 300, the officers marching in fours, each wear ing the customary military mourning on the left arm, and their swords also hung in crape. The officers were arranged according to their rank, com mencing with the subalterns, Major-Gen. Freeman Murray, in command of the division at Chatham, and Col. J. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., bringing up the rear of the procession. Along the route to the cemetery the roads were lined with spectators, who uncovered as the body of the deceased was borne past. After the body had been lowered into the grave the firing party advanced and gave the customary num ber of volleys over the deceased, and the procession returned in the same order to Brompton barracks. Yesterday an order was received at Fort Pitt, Chatham, directing a party of the Army Hospital Corps to proceed this morning to Netley, for the purpose of embarking for service with the Abyssinian expedition. A detachment of Sappers and Miners of the Royal Engineers has been placed under orders to proceed from headquarters, Brompton barracks, Chatham, to Dover, to be employed on the fortifications and other engineering works in progress there. The detachment will leave Woolwich in the course o the present week. On Friday afternoon the sth Dragoon Guards were paraded on the Aliddlewick Farm, Colchester, where they underwent a careful inspection by Lord G. Paget, Inspector General of Cavalry. They were afterwards put through the usual field move ments, and then marched past. The inspecting officer also examined the barracks and regimental books. A magnificent military trophy in silver, consist ing of a testimonial cup and plateau, or centre piece, has just been completed by Messrs. London and Ryder, of New Bond-street, for her Majesty's 48th Regiment, at Aldcrshott. The plateau on which the superstructure stands represents bastions, cur tains and lines of fortification generally, and is inscribed with the names of the great battles in which the 48th took part—Toulouse, Douro, Tala vera, Albuhera, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Orthes, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Sebastopol, &c. Capt. Lord Fred. Kerr, R.N., Col. E. Wray, C. 8., and other officers of the Ordnance Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal, have been in consultation for some days past, in the official de partment of Capt. Gordon, C. 8., Principal Super intendent of Military Stores, on the subject of the pack-saddles best adapted for the Abyssinian cam paign. They were aided in their investigation by Major-Gen. Willoughby, C. 8., Assist.-Commissary Bailey, C. 8., Mr. Aspinwall, and others, specially appointed by the War Department for that purpose. The result of their inquiries has been to counter mand the shipment of those formerly ordered and ready for despatch, and now finally pronounced ill adapted for the service. Consequently, the whole of the cases containing the pack-saddles, which have been in readiness for shipment for some days pa-it, were yesterday ordered to be cleared away from the wharf, and to be stored in reserve. They are to be replaced by the species of saddle used during the war with the natives in New Zealand, and designated "the Otago saddle." Mr. Bailey, who accompanied the troops as supernumerary during the war in New Zealand, had ample means of testing the efficiency of the saddle; and on his recommendation, and that of Quartermaster Stafford, Military Train, the Goy vernment have resolved on adopting the system for the present expedition to Abyssinia. They have also undergone a course of trial at Woolwich and Aldershott with advantageous results. Tho War Department, it appears, had decided on adopting the new pack-saddle recently patented by Lieut. APAlahon, and having a sufficient number made bf contract for the present emergency ; but, on account of the qualities of the Otago saddles, tested in a ctual warfare and in the jungle, it was considered prudent to defer actual use of the APMahon saddle for foreign campaigns for the first time in a countrl where any alterations or change would be impossible/ and to avail themselves of a system well known and approved by experience. The APAlahon s addlo is to be thoroughly tested at home and secured for future use. Tenders arc to be issued immediately for the manufacture by private contract of sonic 5,000 or 6,000 of the Otago saddles, to be made ° f various sizes for different animals, which, it is stated , will occasion no delay in the expedition, as the mountain guns and equipment will not be complete s and ready for shipment before the first week in the ensuing month, which will afford abundant time to complete the contracts to any reasonable amoun t required. The 65th (2d Yorkshire, North Riding) Regimen t of Infantry, under the command of Lieut.-Colone l Wylde, C. 8., arrived at Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday morning, from Aldershot, by specia l , train, via F arn b oroug h , an d embarked on board her Majesty's screw transport Orontes, Captain Phelps, in the following strength :-35 officers, 621 men, 58 women, 73 children, and 8 horses. The Orontes will sail this morning for Queenstown, and after disembarking there the 65th will return to Portsmouth with the depot of the 2d Battalion of the 60th (King's Royal Rifle Corps) Regiment.

Gathorne hardy arrived at the Castle yesterday, as the Minister in attendance on her Majesty. Mr. Hardy had the honour of dining with the Queen and Royal Family. CHARLES DICKENS. All will rejoice to hear, says the London Review of Saturday, in an article rather after date by th ° way, that the report, to which we alluded a fort night ago, of the precarious state of Mr. Dickens's health, is entirely devoid of truth. How it orig" nated we know not ; but there appear to be c ertain persons who find a singular and occult pleasure 1 0 inventing and circulating false reports with refer' ence to the health of men of eminence. Mr. Dicken s is at the present time perfectly well, and is busy, a t his country residence, Gad's-hill-place, near RocheS‘ ter, on a new work which is to appear in one of th e American journals. Fortunately for himself and for his readers, he understands the art of preserving hi s constitution from the ravages inseparable from th e pursuit of any intellectual occupation, and especially incidental to the calling of a writer of fiction, who has to go through a world of emotions (and sonic of them very painful emotions), over and abov e those which he shares in common with all other human beings. The mere act of imaginative crea tion is exhausting ; and in proportion to the inten sity, power, and vividness of the creation is t he degree of " wear and tear" which the artist suffers. Hence the temptation, which writers are not alway s strong enough to resist, of recruiting their energies by the ready aid of stimulants. Mr. Dickens follows a wiser course. He seeks the great restorative processes of nature, and, by a country life, by ear l y hours, by a large amount of exercise in th e open air, and by attention to the great sanitary laws of life, balances the activity of his head by fair play to his physical being. He does not con sider genius any warrant for neglecting su ch matters ; and so we may hope to have him working among us, and increasing the stock of our pleasures' for many years to come. Some doubt having been felt as to the reception he would be likely to me et with in America, on account of the way in which h e wrote about the United States some quarter of century ago, the New York Tribune remarks :—" It is not necessary to deprecate, as some of our contein poraries incline to do, a possible hostility towards Mr. Dickens on the part of th e A mer i can public. No such feeling exists. Our people do, in deed, remember the ' American Notes,' and th e satirical chapters in MartinChuzzlewit,' and are, no doubt, of opinion that, as a matter of taste, g r. Dickens might well have been more gracious. B at t ' i on the other hand, our people like free speech, nu, appreciate frankness—not forgetting that tru th should be the North Sta r o f aut h ors hi p, an d that there is a good deal of truth in what Mr. Dicke lie said about us on retur n i ng f rom hi s fi rst v i s it to this country. From the first until now the gre at novelist has been t rue t o hi s d u t y. At bole as well as abroad he has attacked every fo rte of social abuse, and rebuked injustice, ond . laughed at folly, and inculcated sound P llll ciples, and faithfully l a b oure d t o re fine t he character and extend the scope of 111111230 happiness ; and in pursuing that work he has neces sarily struck hard blows, and o ff en d e d arro gant 10 justice, and wounded self-love, and aroused enmity' But he has not aroused enm ity. Of a ll peoP i on earth, the Americans are necessar il y foremost t 0 recognise a spirit that ha s p ure ly an d powerfully laboured for the advancement of the human race and they recognise such a spirit in Charles Dicke os * To remind them that he once sati r i se d som e of the ir follies and eccentricities, or that he somewhat pus, took their character and institutions, is no t to blind their eyes to his genius, or deaden their sense of WS great achievements." We are requested to state that the Baroness Adolphe do Rothschild did not supply flowers for the de coration of General Garibaldi's apartment on his late re ception at Geneva, as was erroneously reported, a nd that the Baroness remained entirely aloof from the proceedings onnected with the reception of the General.—Times.
